Michigan is ground zero. In this episode, host Bill Johnson sits down with former Michigan State Representative and Newaygo County Republican Party Chairman John Llewellyn for a wide-ranging conversation about the forces reshaping the Great Lakes State — and America.

From the historic “US-27 divide” separating conservative Western Michigan from the Democratic stronghold of Detroit, to the waves of immigration that built — and are now transforming — communities like Dearborn and Hamtramck, John brings decades of frontline political experience to bear on today’s most pressing questions.

In this episode:

• 🗺️ The cultural and political split between Eastern & Western Michigan

• 🏭 How UAW union power shaped Lansing for generations

•🕌 The rise of Muslim political influence in Michigan — and what it means

• 🗳️ Election integrity, low voter turnout, and what Republicans must do in 2026

• ✝️ A deeply personal reflection on faith, family, and love of country

“I wasn’t raised to be a Republican or a Democrat — I was raised to love my country.” — John Llewellyn
