Fred Upton

They sent his daughter, Genevieve, to run out there, sprint out there to the mound and say, come home, Daddy.

Congressman Fred Upton was there.

He's close with Justin Verlander and, of course, into the family now that Justin Verlander married Kate Upton.

And he's nice enough to join us on our radio stage, our AT&T line, after witnessing that this weekend like the rest of us did.

And people were worried maybe he'd go out there and get rocked and it would be an ignominious end to his career.

No, not Justin Verlander.

But he also knew that even though he did five innings, there was no temptation to continue in his career that's it and that's all and there isn't any more and instead of the manager coming out to take him out of the game his five-year-old genevieve ran out onto the mound and said that's it daddy career over come on home to us and of course he's married to the actress kate upton and then they had a party in detroit we'd Joined a little bit earlier by former Congressman Fred Upton, who is, of course, Kate Upton's uncle.

And they were all together in downtown Detroit for a party afterward.

Oh, wait a minute.

Before I finish up Justin Verlander, Congressman Fred Upton, the former from West Michigan, the great Southwest, where we're heard on WSJM, is going to be at some of those games because Justin Verlander's wife, you may know, is Kate Upton, who is related to Fred Upton, who was the very powerful member of Congress for all those years.

Fred Upton's voice appeared in a video for Oakland University recently saluting Dennis Muchmore, who was Governor Snyder's chief of staff and a board member at Oakland University.

And Dennis Muchmore was on the board for a long time there at Oakland.

And they actually named a political wing of the school for him now.

It was clips.

And this little nugget from Congressman Upton was dropped in there.

Dennis, Fred Upton here.

But El-Said is seeing numbers, a number of Democrats, including former state representative Karen Wisslet and Rabbi Asher Lubton, endorsed the Republican candidate, endorsed Mike Rogers.

And he also saw Fred Upton.

Fred Upton was a former Republican congressman who endorsed Kamala Harris in 2024.

Fred Upton endorsed Mike Rogers.

A number of moderate Republicans have said, OK, we don't like Trump, but Mike Rogers is not Trump.

But probably the most shocking takedown of of Abdul Sayyed came from a Democrat.
