Host Saeed Khan talks with guests: veteran attorneys Steve Fishman, Bill Seikaly and Joel Sklar; labor and community activist Barb Ingalls; veteran journalist Nancy Derringer; and Deadline Detroit co-founder Allan Lengel.

They discuss: a recap of the State of the Union speech; Whitmer’s last State of the State address; a U.S. ambassador to Israel telling Tucker Carlson that Israel should take over the Middle East; whether Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s decision not to endorse Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist will hurt her; whether Trump is turning on his Supreme Court; whether some of the Trump-appointed justices can show independence; panelist Fishman’s basketball days at the University of Michigan; whether the USA hockey team should have shown up for the State of the Union; and Schmuck of the Week.
