And I'm quite sure it would not have been a boring debate yesterday between Mike Rogers and Abdul Al-Sayed with Roop Raj in the middle.

And I'm quite sure it would not have been a boring debate yesterday between Mike Rogers and Abdul Al-Sayed with Roop Raj in the middle.

1:16Michael Patrick ShielsHOST
John Truscott, an observer of it all, who was the spokesperson for Governor John Engler, helped get him elected and also helped the Dick DeVos campaign when he was running for governor and, of course, is a renaissance man in terms of public relations for business and is on our radio stage right now, our AT&T line, in the throes of this campaign and mid-september and very very soon the ballots will be out so we do want to see some debates and apparently there will be between these two people trying to get into the most exclusive club in the world it just wasn't yesterday with rupraj john truscott and he's kind of sore about that isn't he
J
1:56John TruscottGUEST
yeah well good morning um you know the the basic fact here is that the rogers campaign never agreed to do rupraj's debate they agreed to two others on different uh... stations and They'll likely be broadcast with sister stations throughout the state.

2:10John TruscottGUEST
But a lot of groups, a lot of organizations, whether news organizations or community organizations, always offer their venue for debate.

3:41John TruscottGUEST
And I don't think the Fox 2 broadcast fit what they were looking for.
M
3:46Michael Patrick ShielsHOST
Well, I mean, they're getting more attention for him not being there than probably had he even been there, it seems to me.
M
3:52Michael Patrick ShielsHOST
But, you know, it's already unpredictable with Abdul Al-Sayed, because if you were managing Mike Rogers right now, like you manage John Engler and Dick DeVos, I mean, he's going into a debate, if you want to call it that, against a candidate who's very unpredictable and almost Trump-like in the way he comes after you.
M
4:13Michael Patrick ShielsHOST
I think that's fair to say.
