WAS THE FINAL SHOWDOWN BEFORE ELECTION DAY. DO YOU REALLY THINK BOOKS ARE MORE DANGEROUS
THAN GUNS AND OUR LONG MATCH UP
THAT AT TIMES WAS ROUGH AND
TUMBLE COMMERCIALS ARE
CONSTANTLY SAYING THAT SHE GAVE
$400 CHECKS BACK TO EVERYONE, SO
I’M GLAD SHE’S ADMITTING THAT
THOSE CHECKS DIDN’T COME FROM
HER. TONIGHT IS THE FINAL TIME
WE’LL SEE BOTH CANDIDATES ON THE
SAME STAGE UNTIL THE ELECTION IN
TWO WEEKS. QUESTION REMAINS DID
EITHER ONE. DO ANYTHING TO
CHANGE MINDS? MARA MACDONALD
LIVE AT OAKLAND UNIVERSITY
TONIGHT. TWO CANDIDATES DO HAVE
MANY SERIOUS DIFFERENCES ON
POLICY, AND WE SAW THAT TONIGHT,
MARA WELL, SHOULD WE SURE DID
DEVIN AND HERE’S THE OTHER THING
WE SAW UNDER SORT OF A VENEER OF
CIVILITY AND ELEGANCE. THINK
FENCING MATCH. WHAT THIS REALLY
WAS WAS A KNIFE FIGHT. TAKE A
LOOK. THE 1ST 10 MINUTES WERE
ALL ABOUT ABORTION PROPOSAL
THREE ALLOWS ABORTION UP TO THE
MOMENT OF BIRTH FOR ANY REASON,
INCLUDING SEX SELECTION. THERE
WILL BE NO LEGISLATING AROUND
PROPOSAL THREE BECAUSE IT WILL
BE LANGUAGE IN THE CONSTITUTION
. NONE OF WHAT SHE JUST SAID IS
TRUE. AND HERE’S WHY YOU CAN’T
TRUST ANYTHING SHE’S SAYING.
WHEN IT COMES TO REPRODUCTIVE
RIGHTS. SHE IS THE ONE THAT SAID
A 14 YEAR OLD CHILD RAPED BY HER
UNCLE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF
SOMEONE WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE
REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS AND THE
ABILITY TO CHOOSE SHE WENT
FURTHER TO SAY IT IS HEALING OR
A PERSON WHO IS RAPED TO CARRY
THAT. CHILD TO TERM. 2ND 10, THE
ECONOMY. THE GOVERNOR CANNOT FIX
GLOBAL INFLATION, BUT WHAT I CAN
DO IS PUT MORE MONEY IN YOUR
POCKETS, AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT
WE’VE DONE THIS GOVERNOR HAS NOT
DONE ANYTHING TO HELP INFLATION
, BUT I WOULD PUT MONEY BACK IN
YOUR POCKETS. I WOULD MAKE SURE
WE HAVE THAT CHILD TAX CREDIT. I
WOULD MAKE SURE THAT WE REDUCE
THE INCOME TAX. AND THEN THERE
WAS RELITIGATING COVID WHEN IT
COMES TO KIDS IS, DIXON SAYS
THAT I KEPT STUDENTS OUT LONGER
THAN ANY OTHER STATE. THAT’S
JUST NOT TRUE. I WORKED CLOSELY
WITH MY REPUBLICAN AND
DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS AND KIDS
WERE OUT FOR THREE MONTHS. I’M
PRETTY SURE I JUST HEARD AN
AUDIBLE GASP AROUND TOWN WHEN
GRETCHEN WHITMER SAID THAT KIDS
WERE OUT OF SCHOOL FOR THREE
MONTHS, PERHAPS SHE WASN’T
PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT WAS
ACTUALLY HAPPENING. EVEN WE EVEN
HAD SCHOOLS THAT WERE CLOSED
THIS YEAR. THIS IS SHOCKING TO
ME AND REAL DIFFERENCES ON HOW
TO PREVENT SCHOOL SHOOTINGS. I
WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ARMED
SECURITY AT OUR SCHOOLS. I WOULD
LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A
ONE ENTRY POINT. I WOULD ALSO
LIKE TO IMPLEMENT SOME OF THAT
PLAN THAT TALKS ABOUT HOW TO
IDENTIFY A CHILD THAT STRUGGLES
WITH MENTAL HEALTH THAT MIGHT BE
CONSIDERING SELF HARM OR HARMING
SOMEONE ELSE. THERE WAS A SCHOOL
SHOOTING IN MISSOURI YESTERDAY
IN A DISTRICT AHEAD EXACTLY WHAT
SHE JUST DESCRIBED ONE PLACE OF
ENTRY. ARMED GUARDS IN THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT AND PEOPLE ARE
DEAD. WE’VE BEEN TRYING THAT FOR
30 YEARS. IT’S NOT WORKING. IT
IS TIME TO TRY PROVEN POLICIES.
BACKGROUND CHECKS, SECURE
STORAGE, RED FLAG LAWS. I’M NOT
TALKING ABOUT HUNTING. I’M JUST
TRYING TO KEEP OUR KIDS IN
COMMUNITIES SAFE. BACK HERE.
LIVE THERE. REALLY? THE ONLY
MOMENT TONIGHT THAT WASN’T
CONTENTIOUS WHEN EACH WAS ASKED
TO SAY SOMETHING NICE ABOUT THE
OTHER, AND THEY BOTH
COMPLEMENTED EACH OTHER ON HOW
THEY SPEAK ABOUT THEIR DAUGHTERS
AND WHAT IT IS LIKE TO HAVE TO
RUN AS A MOTHER RAISING CHILDREN
IN POLITICS. DE’VEON KIMBERLY.
WE’RE LIVE ON THE CAMPUS OF
OAKLAND UNIVERSITY AND MARA
MACDONALD LOCAL 4 TO FIND MUCH
AGREEMENT, ALTHOUGH THEY BOTH
SAID THEY WILL NOT BE FORCING
KIDS TO GET THE COVID VACCINE
FOR SCHOOLS. BUT INTERESTING
HERE. MARA WERE WHAT THE NUMBER
OF ABSENTEE BALLOTS THAT WE HAVE
ALREADY WATCHED. COMING IN MEANS
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY
VOTED AND ARE NOT GOING TO BE
SWAYED BY WHAT THEY HEARD
TONIGHT. THAT’S RIGHT, DEVIN. I
MEAN, YOU KNOW IF YOU COMPARE
AND CONTRAST THE AMOUNT OF
ABSENTEES THAT HAVE BEEN
REQUESTED THIS YEAR, THIS TIME
VERSUS 2018, WHICH IS THE LAST
MIDTERM 1.8 MILLION NOW ONE
MILLION, THEN, VERSUS THE RATE
OF RETURN. ALREADY MORE THAN
700,000 HAVE BEEN RETURNED
VERSUS 2018. THAT WAS ABOUT
400,000. REALLY? YEAH PEOPLE
HAVE ALREADY STARTED VOTING
EXTRAORDINARY. ALL RIGHT, MARA,
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HEAR
DIRECTLY FROM BOTH CANDIDATES
TOMORROW MORNING, GOVERNOR
WHITMER AND TUTOR DIXON WILL BE
