Speaker 2 (00:03):
Shields, James Blanchard, the former Governor of Michigan, Ambassador to Canada,

Speaker 3 (00:08):
It's hard to get people to run for office, good people.
That is, you get clowns and people interested its glory
and money. But there are a lot of people in
politics who give good speeches and they're fancy fancy, but
they're not really all that involved in making things work.
You got to get the good peoples to run.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
One of Michigan's great Democrats who worked with one of
Michigan's great Democrats, Curtis Hotel Senior. It's Curtis Hotel Junior,
who served in the state Senate and in fact is
right now the chair of the Michigan Democrat Party. He
joined Andrew bood on the A List Hour podcast. That's

(00:44):
what you google if you're looking for Androw Boots podcast,
The A List Hour wherever you get your podcast and
you can hear a discussion like the Attorney Andro Boods
discussion with Curtis Hotel Junior.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
I'm those people unlucky that I have to do something
I love for a living. I loved every aspect of
public service, and I love elections and campaigns and talking
to people. I love, you know. I believe that our
job as humans is to try to make the world

(01:17):
better than when we started, and there are so many
different ways to do that, but every single day I
get to think about how I can make that better. Now,
this is a little different role because I do it
from a political aspect, but I personally think the Democratic
Party is a force for good in the world. I
think that, you know, if there's no party fighting for

(01:42):
better wages for people, making childcare more affordable, making health
care more affordable. If we're not that party, there won't
be a party in this country that's fighting for those things.
And so I see this as an extension of that
public service more than anything else.

Speaker 2 (01:59):

Shields with you. Tony Cuthbert. You got to experience the
cuisine of chef Massimo Batura from Italy when Cavellino did

would have it, when I'm broadcasting from Miami in a
couple of weeks, Torno Sabido his restaurant will reopen, inspired
by the Italian riviera and the spirit of La dolce Vita,
and it is going to be in the Design District

(02:43):
