00:00-18:17: VEEP Recap/MAGA Attacks Immigrants & Abortion Rights
The first segment features Pat Johnston giving his review of the Vice Presidential Debate between Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and MAGA Republican Dude-Bro J.D. Vance. Pat highlights where Walz scored some major points, and where he fell short, in his debate against Vance. Pat also talks about how the Dear Leader Trump/Vance attacks on immigrants is leading to violent threats.
18:18-40:48: Interview w/ Amanda Mazur on Abortion Rights
Our guest this week is Amanda Mazur, who's an abortion rights activist as well as the Vice President of Northwest Michigan For Reproductive Freedom. Amanda gives her takes on how abortion was covered during the Veep debate, and she shares thoughts on how MAGA Republicans are definitely not "pro-family," and how progressives and Democrats should talk about abortion rights this election year.
40:49-46:11: Last Call: Mike Rogers Wants Higher Drug Prices
In the "Last Call," Pat talks about how MAGA Michigan Republican U.S. Senate candidate "Florida" Mike Rogers is "passionately against" allowing Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices. He criticizes Democratic U.S. Senate candidate, and Michigan congresswoman, Elissa Slotkin's backing of the Inflation Reduction Act, which gave Medicare the power to lower the prices of different prescription drugs in the future. Let's see how the voters react to "Florida" Mike's stance on that one.
46:12-48:28: Ending/Go Tigers!
