Matt Grossmann and Arnold Weinfeld discuss Michigan and national politics, policy, and the economy on the monthly State of the State podcast from MSU's Institute for Public Policy and Social Research (IPPSR). The podcast is a monthly round up of policy and research for Michigan. Tony Daunt is executive director of FAIR Maps Michigan. He joins the conversation to discuss the redistricting process in Michigan, the current remapping process, and what brought us to this point. Conversation Highlights: (0:32) – What's the latest in national politics and the presidential race? (5:58) – An assessment of proposals in Governor Whitmer's State of the State address and the state of politics and policy in Michigan. “This last year was one of the most productive and ideological movements of public policy that we've seen across any state for, like, 50 years. This was an extraordinary move leftward that they accomplished in the first year, and they're set up to try to do a lot more.” (9:27) – Economic development, R & D tax credit, and population growth – “The business location packages really don't impact business decisions. People make business location decisions and then rack up the tax credits.” (14:27) – Daunt joins the conversation to talk about the remapping process.

The public remains supportive of the changes, especially the changes to the partisan composition of the relationship between districts and statewide votes. This was the primary citizen concern expressed quite loudly and clearly. But that was ignored by the commission. So rather than see it as a burden imposed by the courts, I would encourage them to see it as a second chance to correct the biggest defect in the process.”

This month's State of the State podcast conversation from Michigan State University's Institute for Public Policy and Social Research focuses on the debt limit. Matt Grossmann, Charley Ballard, and Arnold Weinfeld welcome associate professor of economics Antonio Doblas Madrid to the discussion. Conversation Highlights: (1:46) – “The Federal Reserve has been trying for more than a year to slow things down. They've had some success. Inflation is not where it was several months ago, but it's still above their target. There are a lot of indications that the economy is growing more slowly than it was a year ago, but it's still growing.” (3:36) – “We're still at a pretty high level of resources. Compared to the last few years, there is a lot of money and a lot of people asking for that money. The good news about being in the majority during this kind of time is that you can say yes to a lot more people, and that's usually good for you politically. The bad news is if you say yes with temporary money on a permanent basis, then a few years down the line you have to say no a whole lot more and it can be pretty bad.” (4:45) – “Surpluses tend to disappear.” (6:45) – “The United States is one of a group of privileged countries that has always had healthy enough finances that it has never defaulted on its debt. And the U.S. dollar is the world's reserve currency. It's shocking that this debt ceiling situation that keeps coming up over and over threatens to engineer a self-inflicted financial crisis.” (7:45) – “The debt ceiling is a historical oddity of the United States.” (9:30) – “The U.S. dollar and U.S. government debt are considered the safest financial assets. It would be similar to the ground shaking.” (11:26) – “The U.S. Treasury is a whole lot bigger than Lehman Brothers.” (16:34) – “Most countries when they have a default it's followed by a pretty deep downturn of economic activity.” (17:06) – “These are good reasons why policy makers have strong incentives to avoid the default, but that doesn't mean that you don't gain strategically from having the leverage that you have to force your opponents to the table.” (20:55) – “The story was a little bit different in 2010 when Democrats had a big majority and could have gotten rid of the debt limit or extended it. And then there was a sentiment that if Republicans are going to be in charge, they should have ownership of the debt limit. And that was kind of the old politics of the debt limit. ‘I don't want to vote for it when I'm in the minority so that the other side gets the blame raising the debt limit' even though it has nothing to do with actually increasing spending. And that was catastrophically dumb.” (21:56) – “None of us is saying the debt should be allowed to grow without any proportion to the country's ability to repay.” (22:57) – “These are debts for expenditures that were already approved years ago and money that has already been spent. These are bills that are due now and not paying them is literally bankrupting the country.” (30:22) – “There's not a lot of time unfortunately. The extraordinary measures that Treasury has been taking since 1985 have become par for the course.” (32:00) – “This is an occasion where Democrats and Republicans have to pass something together.” Listen to “MSU Today with Russ White” on the radio and through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your shows.

This is a recording of an interview done with myself and Church and State Podcast at the ReAwaken Tour in December 2023, backstage with Dr Judy Mikovitz.  Dr J is one of the forefront leaders in the health freedom movement being banned, dismantled, ridiculed, followed and even incarcerated for speaking the truth about research she did at the National Cancer Institute.Even admist some of the darkest times that no one should ever have to go through, she still continues to fight and speak the truth about real scientific research and how so many are being lied to.  She is not only a brilliant scientist, but also believes in the truth of God.  She has partnered up with her Godson who created Light Dove Ministries, a healing center, which you will hear her talk about in this episode. Light Dove was birthed to provide safe access to therapies that heal and restore the body to equilibrium, or balance. The current Western medicine and healthcare system is riddled with corruption and massive conflicts of interest including economic incentives to prescribe dangerous therapies that have been shown to harm. Profit has taken priority above patient care, and Light Dove Ministries serves to place its members back at the center of the health continuum.It's been a few years since the release of Plandemic, and we wanted to catch up with what Dr J has been up to, more of her research, and hope/resources for the future. You can find out about Light Dove ministries here: https://www.lightdoveministries.com/about

Hunting and fishing as a group activity might not be everyone's first thought as a place to start, but for many people, especially the growing numbers of women who are participating in hunting and fishing, Facebook groups, meetup apps and community education events have offered an opportunity to do something that can be challenging to learn on your own. For this podcast episode, we talked to Hailey Malone and Claire Grubb, two friends and outdoor enthusiasts from Roseburg, Oregon, who found each other through social media groups and who inspired others around them to get into hunting, fishing, hiking and conservation volunteer opportunities through group activities.    Show Notes:  While the Mardy Hunters group mentioned in this podcast episode isn't currently active, there are a number of ways to connect with other people to learn hunting and fishing skills.  ODFW Workshops and Events Hunters of Color LGBT+ Outdoors Hunting and Fishing Meetup.com

To find out more about Salmon sharks and why they might be washing up on our shores, we talked to ODFW's Lynn Mattes and the Big Fish Lab's Dr. Alexandra McInturf about this issue for this episode of the Beaver State Podcast.

This month's State of the State podcast from Michigan State University's Institute for Public Policy and Social Research has Matt Grossmann and Arnold Weinfeld from the institute and emeritus economics professor Charley Ballard discussing the state of the national and Michigan economies, the UAW contract strike against the Big 3 automakers, and a possible government shutdown. Keith Hampton, director of academic research at Michigan State University's Quello Center, joins the group to discuss a new study from Michigan State University that warns that gains made to address broadband and internet connectivity in Michigan rural communities are beginning to fade.   Conversation Highlights: (1:27) – “One of the big stories in Michigan the last two thirds of a century is the relative shrinkage of the auto industry.” (3:13) – “Best case scenario for Michigan is a relatively short strike with an agreement that is generous enough to the workers that it puts more money in their paychecks, which they can then spend at the grocery store and the hardware store, but not so generous that it cripples the companies going forward.” (5:23) – “Public opinion polls show more support for organized labor then they have in the past, but they're still in a long slide downward.” (8:00) – “Flint is the poster child for the decline of the auto industry.” (12:30) – “There's a lot of theatre so far. There's really not much support for a government shutdown, even in the Republican caucus.” (17:04) – “Women's earnings…the gender earnings ratio – the ratio of the earnings of the average woman to the average man – increased to an all-time high for the 10th year in a row.” (18:45) – “Over the pandemic, we went from rural students who did not have any kind of internet access at home to cutting that to about four percent during the pandemic.” (23:22) – “Hot spots have been a surprisingly good intervention.” (25:16) – “Wouldn't it be great if you could get out of high school and earn middle class wages. That was once true in Michigan 50 or 60 years ago. It isn't true anymore.” (27:14) – “The issue of internet insecurity and access is particularly problematic.” (29:34) – “One place where there has been a lot of policy movement lately is in election reform. We have recently been called a blueprint for election reform nationally.” Listen to “MSU Today with Russ White” on the radio and through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you listen. 

The needs of humans and the needs of the wildlife that surround us are intensifying. Habitat loss and fragmentation due to human development keep wildlife from finding food, water and shelter. These factors also make adhering to daily, seasonal and life history needs extra challenging and inhibit migratory movements, like moving to and from foraging areas and breeding sites. Dr. Rachel Wheat has been working on the Oregon Wildlife Connectivity Plan, an effort to better understand wildlife connectivity in Oregon. The goal of the plan is to evaluate and map out existing landscape-level connectivity for 54 species that represent a wide range of wildlife species, their habitats and life history strategies and movement capabilities. This information will better inform Oregonians about the needs of wildlife even as we go about fulfilling our own needs. Dr. Wheat talked to Tim Akimoff and Beth Quillian about the project for this week's Beaver State Podcast. 

Dr. Kaeli Swift is a researcher and renowned science communicator who loves to unwrap the fascinating world of Corvids for her followers on social media. We caught up with Dr. Swift in Seattle before she left for a new research project she's conducting on the island of Tinian. Dr. Swift talked to us about crows and ravens, their biology, behavior and intelligence in this episode of the Beaver State Podcast.  Show Notes:  Follow Dr. Kaeli Swift on Social Media - Instagram TikTok Twitter Catch Dr. Swift on the Oologies Podcast talking about crow funerals - Corvid Thanatology (CROW FUNERALS) with Dr. Kaeli Swift — alie ward Book Recommendations -  "In the company of crows and ravens" by John Marzluff "Mind of the raven" Bernd Heinrich Check out the crows attacking the Barred owl at Seward Park when this podcast was recorded - https://youtube.com/shorts/_dMpJA84c8M?feature=share  

This month's State of the State podcast from Michigan State University's Institute for Public Policy and Social Research has Matt Grossmann and Arnold Weinfeld from the institute and emeritus economics professor Charley Ballard discussing the state of the national and Michigan economies, UAW contract talks with the Big 3 automakers, the impact of unions in today's America, Michigan's new state budget, population loss, and the recent Supreme Court decision on affirmative action. Conversation Highlights: (1:25) – “The economy continues to roll along. Whereas a few months ago I would have said a mild recession is more likely than not. Right now, I would say it's more likely than not that we kind of skirt the edges of a recession.” (5:57) – “People are still pretty dour about the economy…” (10:11) – “A part of it is that our economy is doing pretty well. And that means revenue is coming in reasonably well. That's the remarkable resilience of the American economy.” (11:29) “There is an effect of full Democratic control on state spending, but it's actually a lot smaller than you might expect and much smaller than the year-to-year differences due to the overall state of the economy and share of federal money that gets sent.” (12:09) – “The actual effect is more often the reverse. The more that state governments are able to pass legislation and move the agenda in their direction, the more likely that in the next election they will lose ground rather than gain ground.” (14:27) – “Many prognosticators on the national scene have listed Gretchen Whitmer as a potential presidential candidate, and I'm pretty sure she's aware of that.” (15:17) – “In policy, this has been a very large shift on the scale of state government year-to-year shifts. That is what you'd expect after a prolonged period of lack of control from a party.” (16:35) – “Michigan is three percent of the national population and two and a half percent of the national economy. We're in this little life raft floating upon a gigantic ocean of the worldwide economy. And if those waves are big, they're going to affect our boat.” (18:55) – “The population of Michigan hasn't been dropping steadily in this century, it's just been astonishingly flat.” (21:03) – “The overall picture is actually we don't have a higher rate of college graduates leaving the state. After graduating, what we have is a lower rate of college graduates from elsewhere deciding to move into the state. And that is part of a broader pattern where our issues are not as much from the perspective of young people moving away as we hear in the political debate as we have young people not being attracted to Michigan to move from elsewhere.”  (25:20) – “For one thing, the Supreme Court was more in line with public opinion this term than they were the previous term.” (27:50) – “Some universities have abandoned legacy admissions. That might, I think in the long run, have more of an effect.” Listen to “MSU Today with Russ White” on the radio and through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your shows.

We go bay clamming with Shellfish Program Leader Mitch Vance during a minus-2 tide at Yaquina Bay to illustrate how many different types of clams you can find as well as some of the barriers to entry and challenges to be prepared for. We also talk about how you don't need a minus-2 tide to find bay clams, in fact, you can find them year-round during almost any low tide if you know where to go. This episode was not recorded in the studio and has mic noise from wind and moving around the bay.

In this second installment of the Beaver State Podcast Book Club, we convened at the ODFW office in Clackamas to meet with Northwest District Watershed Manager Steve Niemela, District Biologist Dave Keiter and District Public Information Officer Beth Quillian too discuss author Mary Roach's book "Fuzz." This book takes an often humorous look at human/wildlife conflict around the world and compares those experiences with those many Americans experience. We looked at the shared experiences of biologists around the world and the ways in which technology is increasing our awareness of wildlife and the role of educating people about how to live with wildlife.  Show Notes - Want to learn more about living with in Oregon?

On the morning of July 18, 2014, in a wealthy neighborhood in Florida, a married couple in their 70's were sitting on their couch, trying to figure out how to use their brand new iPad. As they did this, suddenly, coming from the property next door, they heard a loud popping sound. The man got up off the couch and walked over to the window to see what was going on, and he saw a car he didn't recognize peeling out of his neighbor's driveway and speeding off down the street. Not sure what to make of this car or the loud sound, the man walked outside and headed over to his neighbor's house just to make sure they were okay, and when he got to his neighbor's driveway, he saw their garage door was open and their car was parked inside and was still on. At first, this made the man think that everything was fine, that clearly the neighbor was in their car sitting in their garage, and maybe that loud noise was just the sound of that other car backfiring. But when the man walked forward a few steps and got a look inside the running car, he knew immediately that everything was NOT fine. Moments later, the man stumbled back inside his own house where he frantically grabbed for his phone to call 911.For 100s more stories like these, check out our main YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallenIf you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballenSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You know when the salmon and steelhead runs just aren't living up to expectations and someone tells you it's because of ocean conditions? Pretty frustrating, right? The National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration's Dr. Laurie Weitkamp recently conducted a five-week study of the North Pacific to look at all kind of factors from food to water temperature and everything in between to try to get at why certain ocean conditions are so tough on salmon and steelhead. She talks about the findings of that study in this week's Beaver State Podcast.

Children's author and illustrator Katherine Roy has tackled topics like sharks and elephants in books but more recently she has turned her brushes and words loose on the topic of reproduction in her latest book, "Making More - How Life Begins." We talked to Katherine for this episode about how a project like that comes together and what makes for effective science communication in elements like art and words for complex topics like the biology of reproduction.  Show Notes: Illustrator and Author Katherine Roy  Website: https://www.katherineroy.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katherineroystudio/  

Oregon was one of the first places in the world to observe the direct impacts of ocean acidification when the oyster hatchery production collapsed in 2007. Dr. Caren Braby, former Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Marine Resources Program Manager and Laura Anderson, former ODFW Commissioner and founder of Local Ocean Seafoods in Newport, talk us through the history, science and ongoing efforts to study and minimize impacts of ocean acidification and hypoxia. We look at current and potential future impacts on Oregon's ocean fisheries and talk about what Oregonians can do now to help protect our natural resources in the future.
