Here's Episode #152 of Michigan's Premier Progressive Podcast!
00:00-19:55: MAGA Shutdown/Rx Kids Success/Working Class Shakedown
Pat Johnston begins talking about another week of the Trump Regime Health Care Shutdown. While Trump & The MAGA Majority in Congress are shutting the government down while millions of Americans are in danger of massive health insurance premium hikes, the Trump Regime is providing Argentina with a $40Billion bailout! Meanwhile, the RxKids program in Michigan is not only a success in a handful of cities, but it's getting more money from the recently passed Michigan budget.
19:56-36:08: Karen O'Keefe, Marijuana Policy Project Interview
Karen O'Keefe from the Marijuana Policy Project talks with Pat about the newly passed 24% wholesale tax on recreational marijuana sales to pay for roads in Michigan. This is another working class tax hike, and it might also violate the state's constitution. Karen explains how this tax will hurt Michigan's small business marijuana shops, but it'll hurt working class consumers. And it'll encourage many to return to the illegal, and cheaper, markets.

36:09-40:08: Last Call MAGA Youth Racism
In the "Last Call, " Pat highlights a Politico article featuring several young MAGA Republican leaders texting racist slurs, antisemitism, and misogyny.
