Bob had a great conversation w/ Mike Elk of Payday Report, a frequent G&R guest. They spent most of the time discussing the current UAW unionization drive in Chattanooga, how this election is different than previous failed votes in 2014 and 2019, and the prospects for labor in the coming months.

They also discussed his time in Brazil, and the challenges Lula faces. And finally, Mike, who was always wary of Fetterman, politely declines an “I told you so” moment but lays out why the junior senator from Pennsylvania isn’t really a progressive.
