The “Morning Joe” program on MSNBC broadcast from 6 to 9 a.m. today from the Ford assembly plant in Flat Rock, with a parade of Detroit’s “Who’s Who” interviewed with the Ford Fusion assembly line as a backdrop.
Those who took part included Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander, Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr, Ford CEO Alan Mulally, Quicken Loans billionaire Dan Gilbert, Detroit Lions President Tom Lewand, builder and Detroit Blight Authority leader Bill Pulte, and Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce President Sandy Baruah.
If you’re wondering, Verlander talked about his $1 million donation to help wounded veterans, not his struggles on the pitching mound.
The theme of the show was summed up by Gilbert, who now owns 35 buildings downtown and who spoke from a bustling Campus Martius: “It doesn’t look like bankruptcy down here.”
