Senator Runestad joins Steve to discuss his newly introduced bill aimed at reforming Michigan’s broken rulemaking process. He explains how unelected bureaucrats have gained too much power, creating and enforcing regulations without proper legislative oversight. The Senator’s proposal would restore accountability, transparency, and balance between the legislative and executive branches, ensuring rules serve the people, not the agencies.

Steve sits down with Ivey Gruber, President of the Michigan Talk Network, for a deep dive into the jaw-dropping Louvre heist.

Steve and Ivey dissect the timeline, the suspiciously efficient execution, and what this heist says about security, planning, and opportunism in high-profile crimes. If you want the gritty details and the skeptical take the mainstream avoids, this episode delivers.
