00:00-17:00: Trump Affordability Fail/Dividing Working Class
Left of Lansing's Pat Johnston points-out the rising grocery prices, rising inflation, and dropping jobs numbers happening during the Trump Regime's first year. Affordability is at the top of voters' minds and concerns. So, it's no wonder why Trump suddenly reversed some of his inflationary tariffs on several grocery items. Pat also brings up the different ways some MAGA grifters drive to divide working class.
17:01-38:00: Bridge Michigan's Kelly House Interview
Bridge Michigan's environmental reporter, Kelly House, joins the show to discuss this sudden rush for data centers in Michigan. Ms. House talks about the controversy over a huge A.I. data center in Saline Township, MI, and how Michigan's state legislature helped make it possible to bring these data centers to the state. She also talks about the tax benefits for local communities, but the major environmental concerns these data centers bring with them. Check-out Kelly House's page at Bridge Michigan to read-up on all of her data center stories, and other environmental stories across the state.
38:28-44:10: Last Call on Data Center Fears
Pat adds his two-cents on this data center rush in Michigan, and why working class Michiganders are worried about what this means for their communities and their state.
