In this segment, Pat offers both praise and criticism for Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow, who's running in the Democratic Primary for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat in 2026. McMorrow's focusing on the working class issue of affordability, which is smart considering how the Trump Regime is tanking the economy. But McMorrow's not offering real solutions to help make things more affordable. Even more, McMorrow is trying to take a "centrist" position on Gaza, and she won't back universal health care plans to combat our worsening health care system in the country. What and Who is Mallory McMorrow fighting for? 41:49-45:54: MI Fake Electors Escape Justice In the "Last Call," we highlight how a judge dismissed all of the charges against those 15 MAGA Michigan fake elector defendants who tried to help the Trump campaign steal the 2020 election. 45:01-48:05: 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: "Michigan Democratic Senate Candidate Privately Drafted “Outstanding” AIPAC Position Paper, Supporter Claims."

A story in Bridge Michigan today explained how The Trump Regime's policies in blocking international students from attending Michigan higher education institutions is having devastating economic effects on both our higher education system, but also Michigan's overall economy. Combine that with the MAGA Murder Budget, Dear Leader's insane tariff scheme, and The Regime's overall attacks on higher education, Michigan is bearing the brutal brunt of the failed Trump economy that's leaving the working class behind.

It shows again how corporate Democrats find progressive candidates more of a threat than the Trump Regime's authoritarianism. Pat talks about how MAGA "Democratic" State Rep. Karen Whitsett proudly voted for the MAGA Michigan House budget that'll hurt Detroiters, and all of Michigan. And now, she's running for the Detroit City Council District 7 seat. But, Detroiters have an alternative to Whitsett. A working class alternative. 12:21-36:30 Denzel McCampbell Interview Democratic Socialist Denzel McCampbell earned a surprising primary victory over Karen Whitsett for the Detroit City Council District 7 seat. McCampbell and Whitsett will face-off again in the general election in November. Denzel joins Pat on the show this week to talk about his run for the Council seat, and why his campaign is resonating with so many working class Detroiters.

On this Labor Day 2025, Pat Johnston reviews how the Trump Regime has enacted the most anti-worker, anti-union, pro-corporate greed and corruption agenda in recent memory. Whether it's the insane tariff scheme, the gutting of the National Labor Relations Board, or the MAGA Murder Budget, Dear Leader Trump's "economics" is hurting workers across the country, and especially in Michigan.

Only one Democrat in the State House voted with Republicans, and it was none other than Detroit's Karen Whitsett. She's running for a Detroit City Council seat, but she's facing a young and energetic Democratic Socialist in Denzel McCampbell. That race is happening this November. 17:24-36:57: Whitmer Special Election Folly Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer continues to delay calling a special election for a state Senate seat that was last held by a Democrat. And by delaying this election, Whitmer is costing Democrats more than possibly losing the seat. Pat wishes Gov. Whitmer could be as bold and inspirational as other Democratic governors, like Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker. We applaud MI Democratic State Rep. Laurie Pohutsky for trying to limit The Trump Regime's authoritarianism. And the Democratic National Committee remains miles apart from Democratic & Independent voters on Gaza. 36:58-41:37: Bought & Paid For Influencers A recent story by Taylor Lorenz in Wired details how a dark money Democratic group is paying liberal podcasters and influencers to push the Democratic Party line. Pat promises you that he'll never make such a move, and explains why. 41:38-43:36: Football/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: "Michigan residents show support for Gaza aid, according to recent poll."

Dear Leader Trump forgot Governor Gretchen Whitmer's name today. And while it serves as a reminder of Trump's obvious mental decline, let it serve as a reminder to Governor Whitmer that for all of her graveling to Dear Leader this year, he's hurting Michigan's working class in both urban and rural areas... let alone forgetting who she is. Whether it's health care, worker rights, environmental and economic security, the taking over of the free marketplace, and also immigration, The Trump Regime's policies--aided and abetted by MAGA Republicans in Congress, are leading to dire consequences to every working class Michigander. My only question is does Gov. Whitmer understand that reality yet?

Today, The Trump Regime's FBI raided the home of The Regime's former national security advisor John Bolton over classified documents, or something like that. While no fan of Mr. Bolton's, Pat Johnston explains how this move is another authoritarian step by the Trump Regime, and it shows why we need strong political leaders to combat this kind of corporate authoritarianism combined with White Christian Nationalism from gaining more of a grip on the country. Sadly, in Michigan, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan is running a pro-corporatist campaign to become Michigan's next governor, and is signaling how much he'd like to work with Trump. When you've got a choice to fight-back against authoritarianism, or to join it, Mike Duggan's choosing to join it.

As Donald Trump's deployment of National Guard troops in Washington continued on Wednesday, protesters booed Vice President JD Vance during a photo op with the guardsmen stationed in the city. People jeered Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller as they visited Union Station, blocks from the U.S. Capitol which has seen it's police federalized in a fake claim of a crime wave.

Listen, I'm all for prospective students and parents having some insight into a college course syllabus but the general public? The University System of Georgia is arming MAGA's "anti-D.E.I." and "anti-woke" cult with access to professors' course outlines, and those professors believe they'll face harassment - or worse - because of it. Even worse, the USG is leaning on member schools to erase sexual orientation and gender identity from non-discrimination policies. The question is "why?" ------Wild how slow Georgia Republican legislators are to respond to mass shootings and safe gun storage options, but swift to work on drafting bills to erase the state income tax and put a heavier burden on the poor and working class for the state's fiscal solvency. They're already propping up committee hearings with the intent to do just that. Jay Bookman from the Georgia Recorder joined me a couple weeks back to discuss this fiscal nightmare, incidentally. A worthy re-visit while we're on this subject.

The Trump Regime's energy department ordered the antiquated J.H. Campbell coal-fired power plant in Ottawa County to remain open despite the plant-owner Consumers' Energy's decision to shut it down for good last May. The Regime cited some unknown "energy emergency" for its decision. But as Pat Johnston explains, there is no "free hand of the marketplace" with The Trump Regime.

Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer made her third trip to visit the Trump Regime in Washington, D.C. last week. Apparently, Whitmer made the visit in an attempt to plead with Dear Leader how his tariffs were destroying Michigan's already struggling economy. But what is Michigan getting out of this capitulation? And at a time when we need fighters for democracy in these perilous times, Whitmer's failing at this critical juncture in American history.

A recent Morning Consult poll shows what most sane Americans already know: The Trump Regime's Oligarch Economy is getting a major thumbs-down from the American People. Considering how tariffs are already driving-up costs while driving down job production, it's no wonder Americans are regretting putting The Regime back in power. In Michigan, we're feeling the pain of Trump's tariffs, and economic policies (so-called). Now, is the time for some real Democratic Party leaders to step-up and fight against this fascism for the people.

Michigan Maga Republican and House Speaker Man-Baby Matt Hall last week touted the Trump Regime is supposedly making it "easier" and "more attractive" to create jobs in America. Are you sure about that because Pat Johnston brings some receipts as to how The Regime is harming Michigan's economic present and future. Whether it's his tariff scheme which is a regressive tax on the working class, or how he's gutting clean energy jobs while raising energy rates...

Sam explains why the time to refuse fascism isn't someday—it's now: from ICE terror and mass disappearances to Trump's executive order targeting unhoused people, to blatant defiance of the courts and violent threats against political opponents. Refuse Fascism is calling on people in every sector—healthcare, tech, education, government, culture—to join this nonviolent mass resistance and shut down the fascist machinery.This week's episode features an interview with Wajahat Ali, editor of The Left Hook and co-host of Democracy-ish, followed by an interview with artist Phil Buehler (modern-ruins.com) whose installation "Wall of Shame" is on display in Bushwick through August 3 and is a project in partnership with Radio Free Brooklyn.

The US Senate debates and votes on Donald John's "Big Beautiful Bill", which the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) now confirms will cut more than $1 trillion from Medicaid, and despite the Trump Regime's premature celebration of "obliteration", the U.N. nuclear chief says Iran's nuclear program was damaged but not destroyed after U.S. strikes.
Reactions and predictions after the prosecution rests in the federal trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs and a Pentagon report indicates initial assessments of the US' bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities dealt far less damage than originally reported by the Trump Regime.

Demonstrators gathered in parks and plazas across the U.S. to protest against President Donald Trump, marching through downtowns and small towns, blaring anti-authoritarian chants mixed with support for protecting democracy and immigrant rights - all whilst Trump sat behind bulletproof glass at his birthday parade. Organizers of the “No Kings” demonstrations said millions had marched in hundreds of events. Governors across the U.S. had urged calm and vowed no tolerance for violence, while some mobilized the National Guard ahead of marchers gathering. The “No Kings” rallies were organized in nearly 2,000 locations nationwide, including cities, towns, and community spaces. These protests followed recent unrest over federal immigration raids and Trump's deployment of the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles Join this channel for exclusive access and bonus content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkbwLFZhawBqK2b9gW08z3g/join Five Minute News is an Evergreen Podcast, covering politics, inequality, health and climate - delivering independent, unbiased and essential news for the US and across the world.

While this is the kind of authoritarianism most Americans are rejecting, it's also harming our nation's economy. Pat also explains how so-called "centrist" Democrats not only helped give us Donald Trump (twice!), but how they have no new ideas on capturing the working class vote. And Pat concludes by talking about masculinity, and how to win back some of the male vote. 24:45-34:16: No Kings Rallies on 6/14/25 There are hundreds of "No Kings" rallies taking place this Saturday, June 14, 2025, and over 70 such rallies are happening across Michigan.

Pat Johnston uses the opening segment examining the massive cuts The Trump Regime's Elon Musk is leveling on the National Weather Service. It's happening as Michigan's already experienced 25 tornadoes this year, and when tornadoes are increasing across the country thanks to climate change. Why is Elon gutting an essential service that helps warn people of incoming threatening storms, and when climate change is hitting every part of the country? Why? 11:48-38:32: MAGA Murder Budget Republicans passed the MAGA Murder Budget, which guts programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP while providing lavished tax breaks for Elon Musk, Betsy Devos, and the entire untouchable elite donor class. Pat explains why he backs calling it the MAGA Murder Budget, and asks where has safe moderation gotten Democrats in the last 50 years as MAGA Republicans embrace fascism by the day. And how does granting more tax breaks for rich people, and for corporations, amount to Republicans being the populist party? 38:33-42:40: Last Call on Dying Democrats In the "Last Call," Pat covers the most recent death of a Democratic congressman, and how the three deaths of Democrats in Congress helped Republicans pass their MAGA Murder Budget.

Ono acted weak in the face of the Trump Regime's threats while also going after Pro-Palestinian student protesters. And sadly, Michigan Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel went along with it by charging seven of those students. Although, she dropped all charges this week. Pat also covers how MAGA is echoing Dear Leader's "sacrifice" mantra even though that message was never pushed during the election. 20:02-38:06: ProPublica's Anna Clark Interview Anna Clark from ProPublica talks about her article on how Trump & Musk have been busy gutting the funding for the Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab in Michigan.

The Lab's work helps all of the coastal towns that reside, and rely on, the Great Lakes! This is part of the Trump Regime's anti-science movement that was all spelled-out in The Heritage Foundation's "Project 2025." 38:07-42:43: Last Call-Republicans Attack Farmers Pat's "Last Call" covers how the extreme MAGA Michigan Republican House majority passed a bill last week that would repeal a farmer's right to use their land for large wind and solar farms. What happened to the days of Republicans fighting for property rights? And why are they fighting to block farmers from making money while helping the state's move towards becoming carbon-neutral?

It's hard to overstate the danger the Trump regime is posing to Americans. This is especially true for Americans who rely on our healthcare system for chronic diseases or conditions. From cuts to research funding, building registries for people with autism, attacks on women's access to healthcare, and so much more, it's truly horrifying what is in store in this country.To help us unpack it, and maybe help find a way to act against it, we've asked Laura Packard, Founder of Voices of Health Care Action back onto the show.

While Bill is on a research and writing sabbatical, we decided it's important to revisit the horrors we laid out in our Project 2025 podcast series, Trump's Project 2025: Up Close and Personal – and to ask the author David Pepper tie them to what's actually happened so far. This episode tells the fictional story of a middle school that opens its doors to unvaccinated students under a second Trump Regime as Trump eliminates Federal funding for schools with vaccine mandates. The story follows the school nurse, Stephanie Morris, as she navigates the influx of unvaccinated students and the resulting disease outbreaks that spread rapidly through the school and community. The narrative illustrates the real-world implications of the president's policy, with outbreaks of diseases like measles, whooping cough, and the flu causing hospitalizations and even deaths among vulnerable students and staff. The story highlights the challenges faced by the school nurse in trying to protect the health of all students, including her own daughter who has an autoimmune condition, without the backing of mandatory vaccination policies. We'd like to thank all the artists who volunteered their time to make this episode: Laurie Burke, Leigh McGowan who read the chapters & Audrey Hakes, Joe Walsh, & others who contributed character voices. Sound design by Marilys Ernst and Jonathan Moser. Trump's Project 2025: Up Close and Personal written by David Pepper and produced by Pepper, Melissa Jo Peltier and Jay Feldman and is a production of Ovington Avenue Productions and The Bill Press Pod.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this episode, Matt and Doug discuss the broader implications of Trump's economic plan, including his focus on tariffs and national security. They dive into whether national security threats are real or a governmental construct and analyze the underlying motivations behind Trump's economic strategies and defense spending. Doug calls into question the efficacy and real purpose of the tariffs and the trillion-dollar defense budget, suggesting that these moves might be aimed at countering China's growing economic power. They also explore the potential global consequences of these policies, including a possible lead-up to World War III, and highlight the current state of the stock and bond markets, gold prices, and the potential for a mining boom. Throughout, they put forth a call to action for listeners to review their personal financial positions, particularly in terms of gold and silver investments, amidst the evolving global economic landscape. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:08 The Trump Economic Plan and Tariffs 00:50 National Security Debate 03:23 Defense Spending and Priorities 04:32 China's Economic Power 05:27 US Manufacturing Challenges 07:48 Tariffs and Trade Deficits 08:52 Global Trade Dynamics 10:45 US Foreign Policy and Military Actions 17:16 Ukraine Conflict and US Involvement 22:32 Impact of Drone Strikes on Russia 25:06 The Trump Regime and Anti-Woke Sentiments 27:13 Impact of Tariffs on Manufacturing 29:01 Liberation Day and Economic Consequences 34:27 Stock Market and Investment Strategies 36:00 Gold and Financial Chaos 41:40 National Security and Global Order 44:29 Final Thoughts and Viewer Engagement

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma speak with Gil Duran, journalist based in California, proprietor of the website The Nerd Reich, co-writer of the FrameLab newsletter, to discuss his recent piece in The Nerd Reich entitled "'Reboot' Revealed: Elon Musk's CEO-Dictator Playbook." First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Trump/Elon's abject refusal to follow court orders, the release of the White House Ethics Czar, the repeal of a ban on bribing foreign officials, the DOJ dropping its case against Eric Adams in an open case of blackmail, Trump's gutting of the CFPB, Oregon Nurses' ongoing labor battle, IRS and ICE, Mike Johnson's Budget, and Hegseth's revival of Fort Bragg, before diving a little deeper into the open insanity of the ongoing collusion between Eric Adams and the Trump Regime. Gil Duran then joins, diving right into the concept of the Network State – an idea advanced by Big Tech's thought leader Curtis Yarvin and his billionaire buddies (Thiel, Andreessen, Musk, etc) that Tech CEOs should take advantage of the collapse of Nation States and democracy in favor of establishing corporate, CEO-run dictatorship, either by gutting and replacing existing governments or purchasing sovereign territories – as Duran unpacks his first introduction to this ideology with Silicon Valley's attempt to hijack San Francisco's political institutions, before parsing a little deeper through the recent, much more public discussions of this theory advanced by the likes of Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, and Curtis Yarvin. After expanding on how we are already seeing the blueprint for a Network State in action, with Trump serving as a figurehead to a Tech CEO's gutting of our administrative and democratic institutions in favor of sycophants and centralized power, Duran looks to how this came to be the active ideology of the GOP so quickly, unpacking how the collapse of the Biden campaign and naming of JD Vance as Trump's VP opened up an opportunity for the Big Tech to step in, starting with Elon's massive public $300m investment and culminating in Yarvin's Reboot conference in San Francisco last September, exploring the obvious parallels between Big Tech's dictator obsession and the GOP's white nationalism and parsing through their unified scapegoating of “woke” and “DEI” in the leadup to the election to the point of completely dominating both mainstream and social media (bolstered by the financial leverage and ownership Big Tech has over those institutions). Next, Gil, Sam, and Emma unpack the major challenges facing the Trump-Musk regime, as Trump is on his last legs with no other favorable alternative in sight while any failure to maintain control over both political and media institutions potentially meaning a complete upending of their “progress,” not to mention the obvious lack of preparedness (or ability) for this institution to deal with any real public or institutional opposition – the latter of which seems to be particularly hopeless among Democratic leadership – wrapping up by emphasizing the genuine insecurity this regime faces in the face of public scrutiny and touching on the potential danger of Big Tech's goal of replacing the US Dollar with Bitcoin. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Rep. Gerry Connolly – aka Pelosi's pick to take over AOC's bid for Oversight chair – embody the Democrats' impotence amid an ongoing threat to US Democracy, parse through some highlights from a “Hands off our CFPB” rally, and unpack Hakeem Jeffries' claim (and thus failure to address) that access to healthcare is an established right. They also touch on the ongoing GOP push to gut your Medicaid/Medicare and Social Security, before basking in the hilarity of Milo Yiannopoulos questioning Tim Pool's failure to background check the millions he was getting from Russia, plus, your IMs!
