Speaker 1 (00:01):
Yeah, I got modern folks.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Welcome man.
Speaker 1 (00:03):
We appreciate you doing here. Whether it's today another big
one and yeah, look I get it. It's it's a
little there's a lot going on. So sometimes you get
big headlines like this and you think there's a yeah,
what about that. That's a great question. It's a story
(00:26):
that's that's been overlooked and I think drove many of
us to the polls and to vote for the president.
And it isn't promise made, promise kept one that's not
getting the attention it deserves.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
News, weather, and traffic, his stories of the day. We
are talking about what matters most in West Michigan and beyond.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
This is the big three now see speak Yes, all
the stories that you won't hear anywhere, well them as
many as we can get to in the fastest hour
of radio that we've got here. It flies by every day,
(01:08):
and we'll make sure that we do our best to
get to as many as possible. Good friends at HHM Lending,
Heartland Holme Mortgage, they've got away on the team ready
to help you whether you want to buy or refine
home equity, line of credit and got all these different
solutions for each individual customized just to your needs, and
they've saved us thousands and many of the folks that
(01:28):
listen to this program at the same time, too, Number One,
reach out today for the latest. It's a new low, folks,
a new loan, No, not for Democrats in there behavior,
a new low in border crossings folks coming across that border. Probably,
(01:51):
like I said, I've never seen anything like this. Those
crossings dropped at the lowest level over two years last month,
according to the latest reports on the Home Fartment of
Homeland Security. Officials credit tougher enforcement, increased deportations, and new
deals with Mexico for the sharp decline. At the same time,
there's been a spike and attacks on immigration officers. They're
(02:12):
up eight hundred and thirty percent. I know it's an
unthinkable number. But Democrats at the same time caught trying
to docks these ICE agents. In fact, Senator Alyssa Slocke
in the Democrat out of Michigan one with the bill
that would like to unmask them and make it illegal
for them to wear masks while they're trying to perform
(02:36):
their jobs. Speaking of the Senate, they got it done
last night. They needed jd Vance along the way, but
big news they advanced the nine billion in requests for
spending cuts. They were tied fifty to fifty. JD had
to come in last minute decision vote there and help
(02:58):
them move that forward that it's going to cut all
that us AID waste, fraud of abuse, as well as
some of the PBS Public Broadcast MPR. If you can't
survive on your own, why would you? Why would you
get money from taxpayers to do it? Just incredible and
(03:21):
by the way, the programming leaves a lot to be
desired to call back telling elected Integrity Committee members Jocelyn
Benson only follows the laws she agrees with. Yesterday, big testimony,
they're at the House Committee there in Lansing, Midwestern with
(03:46):
the story, and I thought very interesting. We watched part
of it as we're alive here yesterday and it was
fascinating to hear what he brought through and brought out.
In fact, I thought, so fascinating. Why don't we have
Patrick to join us on the show and he'll do
just that, coming up with what like nine thirty this
(04:09):
morning right here on West Michigan Live, nine thirty five.
I guess technically, give you a chance to joining the
conversation at any time. You can do so if you
want to jump on the phones. Love to hear from
you and questions, comments, concerns, if anything.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Call Justin now at six one six seven seven four
twenty four twenty four. That's six one six seven seven
four twenty four to twenty four West Michigan Live with
Justin Barclay on news Radio Wood thirteen hundred and one
oh six nine a f M.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, some of that testimony yesterday.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
We hear a lot of conversation in comparisons or I
should say confusion with recounts versus.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
An audit wrap. Mike Hogley touch a little.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Bit on those differences, and I will have a follow
up to that.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
In summary, recount is an audit light. It's only looking
at one set of records, pretty much in the actual
in those all those election records that I was talking about,
and so there's a big narrative that goes on that says,
all you have to do is look at the ballots
and you know whether or not you got a high
integrity election. That is a lie from the pit of hell.
There's a lot of other records that you can you
can count all the ballots you want, but you don't
(05:18):
know if you got ad Jason Lemoyne Daniel in the
middle of it. That's one hundred and seventy year old,
and you've got a question how the heck did he
get a ballot to cast in the first place. So
bottom line is recounts our insufficient in scope to determine
whether or not a ballots or an election has been
conducted with integrity. You need to do a full scope
audit that looks at all those key election records. And
(05:39):
the closest we've gotten to that so far in the
country has been what was done in Arizona, frankly, and
even that was it didn't address all the different election records,
and the media just focused in on the recount because
that's the narrative that they're trying to push, Because you
can fake all the rest of the data here and
(05:59):
steal election, but as long as you make sure that
you've got the right ballots inserted at the right time
during the recount, everything's funky dory.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Interesting conversation. Of course, during that testimony again he accused
Jocelyn Benson if issuing unlawful guidance selectively enforcing election laws
that's because she has, by the way, not just Pat
Colbeck's opinion, that's the opinion of multiple judges. He's broken
the laws over and over again. He called Michigan's voting
(06:29):
system opaque, unaccountable, and riddled with discrepancies, highlighting a three
hundred and fifty thousand ballot gap in the qualified voter
file from the twenty twenty election. By the way, that's
that's that file. That's that's exactly what they decide who
can and can't vote. And it's very important stuff. It's
(06:51):
something that I think a lot of us pre twenty
twenty didn't take the time to wrap her heads around.
But Pat's got them on a feed to do it
because he actually has been doing this much much longer,
much further back in fact, in twenty sixteen, even when
President Trump won the first time around, he questioned and
(07:13):
looked at the election because they were issues and he
wanted to make sure that that was taken care of.
He's what he's found through the years is really fascinating. Again,
we're going to talk to him coming up this morning
at I guess we will call that nine thirty five.
(07:33):
He wants a full forensic audit not just recounts, restoring trust,
pointing the seventy one percent of Detroit absentee boards being
unbalanced where ballots totals didn't line up, so with the
pull books. In other words, if the numbers don't line up,
and the numbers shouldn't lie in this case, what's going on,
particularly Detroit, You've got citizens of Detroit standing out. People
(07:58):
people of color, that's what they would call them, but
black folks in those neighborhoods standing up and saying, look,
we just this doesn't make sense, and we demand transparency.
That's what they'd like. In fact, you'll hear it from
his mouth coming up, like I said nine thirty five today.
(08:19):
But first I mentioned this, and I'm telling you these
border numbers. We've got a lot going on the last
few weeks. And I understand there's lots to talk about.
There's lots of speculation, there's lots lots of palace intrigue
and behind the scenes and the rest of it. And
I get that. I am just as much concerned and
(08:43):
I'm just as much interested in some of those issues
as you are. But I will tell you we got priorities,
and the number one priority President Trump, I believe anyway.
When he came into office, head was number one, closing
the border. Because if you don't stop the bleeding, if
you don't plug the hole, right, there's just that you're
(09:04):
not gonna be able to do anything that you want
to do. You gotta get in entriage, stop the bleeding.
Then start kicking out some of these solks. Let's start
with the most criminal amongst them, some of the most violent, right,
some of the rapists, the murderers, some of those people
that real issues. Right. That's what he's done. And it's
(09:28):
time to give credit where credit is due. And while
we have this headline today, you gotta also include thanks
President Trump, illegal crossings dropping to historic loves. In June,
according to the CBP, just six thousand and seventy two
(09:50):
southern border apprehensions and twenty five thousand, two hundred and
twenty eight total nationwide in CA owners, the lowest numbers
ever recorded ever. That's the Trump effect in action. And
(10:12):
why is that important? Again, If you didn't do this,
if you didn't start here, you couldn't get anything else done.
You couldn't get anything else done. It had to happen,
and it is a perfect example. We were told we
(10:32):
need new laws. Remember they were all about why didn't
the Republicans vote for these laws? You need a new
law to get this done. Turns out you didn't need
a new law, just needed a new president, or I
guess a president period, one that doesn't need the auto pen. Right.
None of this is luck. It's all because of the
(10:54):
decisive policies that President Trump put forth in a campaign
and now is laying out as he's taken office. National
emergency declaration, deployment of troops, rebuilding the border wall, reinstating
the remain in Mexico policy that was a big one.
The results, smuggling networks in retreat, migrants pausing, and the
(11:18):
EUA sees real enforcement, not empty talk. It's actually getting
the job done. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott's
saying the agency is delivering results on every front, from
stopping illegal crossings to seizing record fentanyl and enforcing trillions
in terrace. This is a Safer America plane and the
(11:40):
simple So look, if you've been tired of all the
border chaos wide open, all of the empty promises of
the Biden administration, and everything else that we've got to
deal with, through the years. You should be happy today. This,
This is this is what strong leadership looks like. This,
(12:04):
this is the perfect example. Matter of fact. And yes,
President Trump, we owe him a deta gratitude. Thank you
for making the border secure again and making the country
safe again. We are well on our way that other
stat I told you about as they fight this truth
(12:27):
And now, by the way, you know why you deport
all these folks here illegally in places like California, they
lose electoral votes and congressional seats stay, lose power. And
that's the one thing Democrats care more about than anything else.
(12:52):
All right, end of the show, and on we go.
More coming up in just mens. In fact, we got
some more good news. We got callback coming up at
nine point thirty five, will get to him on the way.
The White House reported reviewing up to one million documents
approved by Biden with the auto pen. And they finally
(13:13):
released that crazy letter speaking of the violent left, They
finally released that crazy letter, the letter of the crazed
killer of those local politicians in Minnesota. What's inside of it?
The unhinged confession to cash Pttel and more all coming
up breaking down the story.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
It's West Michigan Live with Justin Barkley on News Radio
would thirteen hundred and one oh six nine af AM.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
HEREI your headlines from the Midwesterner this Wednesday, July sixteenth.
I'm Robin Hoffman. It's a Midwesterner Dot News original story.
House Democrats introducing a bill to make the Michigan Constitution
gender neutral. If the bill is passed, it would remove
the definition of marriage between a man and a woman
from the nineteen sixty three Michigan Concoil Institution. Governor Whitmer's
(14:01):
Department of Natural Resources boosting camping fees at our state's
modern and semi modern campsites starting in August. The department
says new nightly rates, which take effect August first, will
allow the state park system to enhance visitor experiences across Michigan.
And President Trump in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at Carnegie Mellon University
(14:24):
talking about the administration's huge investment in energy and tech.
The investment includes about seventy billion dollars for AI.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Today's commitments are ensuring that the future is going to
be designed, built, and made right here in Pennsylvania and
right here in Printsburgh. And I have to say, right
here in.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
The United States of America.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
For these stories and more, visit the Midwesterner at the
Midwesterner dot news.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
No. I got to tell you, this summer is really
starting to heat up and it's in full swing almost.
This is how you know things are really you know,
you've got to really soak it up. This is where
you know at Michigan because we only get it. We
only get a few months of this, right Uh. And uh,
let's say start seeing the back to school stuff because
(15:10):
once July fourth has done, it's all started to come out,
all the backpacks, all the school supplies, everything in the
stores and it's all out now. And of course we've
got a backpack for a four year old. The other
day she said, I want to back be so we
got here something new and U. But it just it's
sad because it's a sign that summer is coming to
a close swiftly. So make sure you soak it up.
We've had a wonderful, fantastic summer, uh, teaching the kids
(15:35):
out official girls love that time at the lake, playing
outside and all the fun things that you like to do.
And I got to tell you the reason I'm able
to do them now more than ever is because my
pain is gone. I used to have foot pain, back
pain from time to time, some leg issues as well,
and I gotta tell you, ever since I walked into
the Good Feed Store, it's been gone. Just like that.
(15:57):
I tell you, I tried on their custom personalized to
art supports and they've been a game changer. My pain
is gone. I feel more balanced, my body just functions better.
So if you're ready, if you're ready to do in
the pain. I know summer's coming to an end, but
wouldn't it be nice if the season of pain was
over as well? Walk into the Good Feet Store today,
Step in and feel the difference. Good Feed Store twenty
(16:21):
eighth Street, right in front of Costco and Portage, or
in Westnige there in front of Cole's. Come in and
experience that good feet feeling for yourself at the Good
Feet Store. We've got multiple stories headed your way this morning,
and as I mentioned, Pat Colbeck joins us at nine
thirty five, so I want to make sure we get
to all of those. But big news in Michigan's auto industry,
(16:42):
and again this is another story that Trump deserves credit for.
We didn't really get a chance to spend a lot
of time on this. I think this news came out. Yes,
you might come out after the show was over, but
it's news that deserves to be repeated and reported and
loud and clear. GM now four billion dollar plan to
(17:04):
brain manufacturing of the Cadillac Escalade. I believe it's a
Gmcci era and the Chivrolet Silverado. Back to the Orient
township plans. They're coming in from other states. Why is
that such a big thing. I've been talking about this.
I have been very concerned about all the manufacturing, all
(17:25):
the new infrastructure, the things that are coming into the
United States, and I say, I just don't I don't
want Michigan to miss out on it. Why is it
so important? Well, you got the Democrats in the House
in Michigan right now, as we have real things that
we need to get done and real shifts that need
to happen, we get Democrats in the House right now
(17:47):
putting out bills to change the Michigan Constitution to make
it gender neutral. Now, how high up is that on
your list that we've got to get the Michigan Constitution
to be gender neutral and affirm They've vims and this,
that and the others and all that. That's the most
important thing on the list right now. It's incredible. And meanwhile,
(18:14):
this is why Democrats have had some of the lowest
numbers in popularity. In fact, big alarms. We did this
yesterday in the after show, the report from the Hill
talking about how Democrats are losing popularity at record clips. Well,
this is why people don't care about this stuff. You know,
they care about are you going to be able to
get me by job back at the plant? Am I
(18:38):
going to be able to keep it? Am I going
to be able to feed by kids? Are my kids
going to be able to have a better life than me?
And particularly here in Michigan as we've seen, that's been
such an issue. But as if you're a House Democrat,
guess you don't care about those sort of things. You
care more about pronouns than producing results. That's that's the difference, folks.
(19:08):
Well more on that and Pat Colbeck joining us after
this don't go anywhere West Michigan Live back after this.
Strong words yesterday from Pat Colbeck, the former Michigan Senator
(19:29):
taking the standard testify essentially in the House Election Integrity
Committee in Lansing. Great questions and that great testimony there.
What did he have to say, just among a few
of the subjects.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
One set of records pretty much in the actual in
those all those election records that I was talking about,
And so there's a big narrative that goes on that says,
all you have to do is look at the ballots
and you know whether or not you got a high
integrity election. That is a lie from the pit of hell.
There's a lot of other records that you can You
can count all the ballots you want, but you don't
know if you got a Jason Lemoyne Daniel in the
(20:06):
middle of it, that's a hundred and seventy year old
and you got a question, how the heck did he
get a ballot to cast in the first place?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
All Right, I got to stop it there because I
thought that was some of the most important. There's so
many different things that came out yesterday. Not only did
he urge a full forensic on it, not just recounts
to restore trust, said seventy one percent of Detroit absentee
boards being unbalanced, where ballants didn't total, they didn't they
didn't line up, they didn't total, line up with pull books.
(20:35):
So you got to have that transparency for the QVF,
get those things all fixed. Talked about what to do
with the machines. At one point. I thought that was
quite a moment, and the urged federal investigation. Speaking of which,
there's one particular individual who has broken the law again
and again and again, and I just wonder she'll find
(20:56):
herselves for herself in the crosshairs during the all this.
She says she should be able to run for governor
and oversee her own election. We saw how that happened
and worked in Arizona and didn't like the results. Pat
appreciate you taking the time to be here with us today.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Always good to be with you, justin you know.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Speaking speaking of which, I mentioned this earlier. You've been
on this trail. This isn't a partisan thing for you,
This isn't a Trump issue for you. You've been on
this trail far before the twenty twenty election.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Yeah, actually, dating back to twenty sixteen election, I was
nominated to serve as vice chair of the Election the
Government Reform Committee. As part of that effort, I went
off and converted all of our election processes into a
series of process slow diagrams. So I could better understand it,
so when bills came before the committee, I would understand
(21:53):
what the actual impact of that bill would be on
our election system. And it was my staff or a
Penny Crider and her husband Ken, that were out in
Detroit during the twenty sixteen recount and they found this
precinct where they had fifty ballots in the batle container,
yet the statement of votes showed that three hundred and
six votes have been cast, and I immediately called for
(22:14):
an investigation to be performed by the Attorney General and
Secretary of State Ruth Johnson did an investigation based on
her best available information at the time because she didn't
have the authority the Attorney General did, and she identified
thirty one counts of fraud just from looking at the
databases in that twenty sixteen election. So of course the
(22:36):
Attorney General, Bill Shooty didn't do anything with it. But
I'm telling you this has been around for a while.
We had Catherine Engelbreck ready to come in and testify
back in that timeframe, and politics internally with Republicans, particularly
Senate Majority Leader Arland Mikoff and Senator Dave Robertson, who
(22:57):
was the chair of the Elections Committee didn't want Catherine
to come in and talk about our problems with our
election system, so we could have fixed it back then.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Isn't that something and and and stood of. I mean,
this just goes to show how long this has been
a problem. And and you know why, it's it's long overdue.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Anyway, let's talk about today and one of those questions,
as you mentioned, what the FEDS are up to now,
what President Trump would like to see done. Now we
got executive orders. That's part of the conversation of what
took place yesterday, that are that are underway? That that
really calling the question the way things are run here
in the state of Michigan. Are we at odds with
those executive orders?
Speaker 4 (23:40):
No, well, we're out at odds from the standpoint that
it's statute, it's in it's Uh. But what I called
for yesterday during the investigator is an investigation of whether
or not the State of Michigan's election system actually does
comply with those orders. And I would submit off the
top of that my head, the executive Order one three
(24:02):
eight seven three, which talks about making sure that we
don't have components from our adversaries embedded inside critical infrastructure
systems like our election system. You know, on the face
of that, right now, we know that Dominion, through its
own internal emails, has over about forty eight percent of
(24:24):
their components for the image cast precincts, which are in
every single precinct in Michigan where we have Dominion voting systems,
forty eight percent of those components come from China. And
so technically to your question, I mean, no, we're not
in compliance on the face of it right now. And
those machines, those systems should not even be operational chag
(24:47):
the state of Michigan. They shouldn't even be imported into
the state of Michigan if we actually follow the federal law.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
You called for investigations as well. Here, Look, he's been
a judge, multiple judges. Benson has broken the law. But
I'm not seeing Attorney General Dana nessil Ron and jump
and uh and and really do any digging here with her?
Uh don't doesn't seem like we're going to see that
(25:15):
at the state level. Will the Feds jump in?
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Well, let's find out they've got I know, I've filed
a couple of letters with the US Attorney of the
Eastern district. Also, we've got action on a letter I
submit a formal complaint with d O j UP in
d C. So there's a lot of wheels in motion,
if you will, around those topics. I obviously, during the
(25:43):
committee testimony, I tried to highlight all the investigations that
should be ongoing, including the compliance with those executive orders
such as the ones barring components from foreign adversaries and
our critical systems. But I also called for criminal investigations
of John Polis for his perjury before the Michigan Senate
(26:04):
on December fifteen, twenty twenty under oath, which, guys, it's
not just about holding it accountable for what I believe
are blatant falseids. But his testimony formed the basis of
the Michigan Senate report that was put out by Senator
mcbroome and Tye and buys On, and that report, I mean,
(26:28):
I've been at this for over five years since twenty
twenty election. That report that they put out has been
used in pretty much every single legal case regarding the
twenty twenty election as a basis for saying that nothing
happened that was bad in the twenty twenty election. And
so when you realize that the Polish testimony forms the
(26:49):
backbone of the Senate report, and the Senate report forms
the backbone of all these dismissals of cases on the
twenty twenty election, which also ties into all the sanctions
going on to lawyers that put forward evidence of election fraud.
Now you start seeing that this is kind of a
herplunk stick. So that's why this investigation into John Polis
is so important. I believe. Also in the wake of
(27:13):
our submittal of a criminal complaint to Dana Nessel to
investigate John Polis. It was a fifty one page complaint,
she responded in five business days saying, there's nothing to
see here, and we performed a thorough investigation of your
claims and all fifty one pages of them, mind you,
(27:33):
and I believe there's evidence that suggests that there's wilfrom
neglective duty there. When I submitted Foyer requests and follow
up to the submittal of that complaint and her rebuttal
or her response, we found out that there was no
investigative report that was done for this thorough investigation. We
also find out that the only communication that she had
(27:53):
with her inside the Attorney General office on this was
how to respond to the press regarding this criminal com plan.
And then, of course Joscelyn Benson, as you mentioned, I mean,
she's been found in violation to have She's been found
to have issued unlawful guidance to our clerks by seven
separate courts. That's the chief election official in the state
(28:14):
is routinely giving unlawful guidance to our election officials. They
assume that when they're getting guidance from the Secretary of
State that it's in accordance with the law, and it's not.
As a matter of fact, during the testimony yesterday, I
showed a clip from Joscelyn Benson's own attorney testifying to
the fact that she only follows the laws that she
likes and for if you don't like that, you can
(28:36):
go ahead and sewer. Well, that's what we've had to do,
and that's where those seven court decisions came from. We've
been forced to sewer for not following the law. So
there's a her wrap sheet is longer than all the
rest of them. And then and in order to stop
what I believe, in order to stop the flow of
loss she had in the courts, she decided to improve
(29:00):
her odds a little bit by providing an eighty two
dollars donation quote unquote to Justice Kyra Bolden on the
Michigan Supreme Court, who, months after receiving that donation, issued
the majority opinion in favor of Jocelyn Benson after Benson
had lost unanimously in the lower court. And so that's bribery.
(29:23):
From my perspective, it walks like a duck, talks like
a dock. It's a duck, and this case it certainly
looks like it was bribery. So yeah, there's a lot
of investigations that I would like to see kicked off,
and the Michigan House has a lot of authority to
get movement on those investigations should they seek to request them.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
You know, Betty just goes back to dust all of this,
you know, twenty twenty one, I really took a look
at this. I think a lot of us did, and
I just I came away with this. I don't care
what anybody says. My main standpoint is there should never
even be an appearance of impropriety in our elections, and
(30:05):
the fact that that remains is the biggest So for me,
my question is how do we restore and repair? And
can we do do you believe that we can do
that in a way that not just Republicans but also
democratic everyone everyone could say this is you know what,
we have a system that works here.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Yeah. My one word solution and this is what the
focus of my testimony yesterday was was on transparency. I mean,
if you are so confident that you're conducting the elections
with accuracy and integrity, then put all your cards face up.
And that's not what's been happening under Joscelyn Benson. She's
been doing everything she can to prevent access to information
(30:50):
that would expose her malfeasance. And I'll tell you every
time we, you know, get over the target and highlight
the malfeasans, she goes off and restricts the access to
that information every single time. And I called it a
game of three card money she's trying to pull on
the citizens of Michigan. Here's she's Paulman the queen, and
(31:13):
it's now we're in the in the in the deck
that she's actually gonna allow you to go off and
see and so it's really it's about time she gets
exposed and the way to go off and address. This
is to demand transparency on the conduct of our elections.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Pat Coldbeck former Michigan State Senator, and he is in
the fight on election integrity leg down other Pat and No.
Folks can download your presentation and propose rules for electronic voting.
You've got them up online the website ism I Grassroots
Alliance dot org will make sure that that makes it
into the stack today as well. Anything else that folks
(31:53):
want to keep in mind her maybe some previews of
what you have still yet to come.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Well. I think it's important that everybody under stand that
we're asking for additional subpoenas. And I also want to
give kudos to the Michigan House that we have right now.
Sometimes they just get beaten up left and right for
not doing what we want them to go off and do.
But I'll tell you we got an excellent group in
the Michigan House, particularly the Republican side of the fence
under Speaker Matt Hall and under a Representative Jada Boyer
(32:19):
in the Michigan Oversight Committee. He has permanent subpoena authority,
and Representative Rachelle Smitt has been fantastic. She's got a
strategy and how to expose these guys going forward, and
she's chairing the Election Integrity Commission, and so it's a
good group of people. Give them support, please, And it's
not an easy job. I know first and for my
(32:40):
eight years in the Michigan Senate, and these guys are
actually doing some really good work. And up in DC,
everybody's looking for hope whatever. I can tell you that
there are very very good things happening in DC on
our behalf regarding election fraud. And the President Trump has
a picture of his mug shot outside the Old Wall
Office as a reminder that these guys will not stop
(33:03):
at anything to go off and try to silence our voices.
And we need to fight back in the courts of
law while they go off and do all these stupid
little riots and everything on the outside and throw bricks
at ice agents. We have to take the high road,
and we've got the ability now to take that high
road in the justice system with the friends that we
(33:24):
have up in DC. So have hope, everybody. It's the
wheels are definitely in motion.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Pat called back former Michigan State Cenator election integrity warrior,
continuing the fight. We thank you for all you do Pat,
thank you so much for taking the time and let
us update. Come back when you got more. We love

here's the truth. If you lost your edge, you feel
like it anyway, your energy, your strength to drive, it's fading.
It may not be your fault. Testosteron levels have men
have dropped every generation in normal ranges? Well that you
flat out lie. That's why over twenty thousand men have
come to mentality because normal doesn't build legacies, but mentality does.

Speaker 5 (35:20):
Here are your headlines from the Midwesterner this Wednesday, July sixteenth.
I'm Robin Poffman. It's a Midwesterner dot News original story.
Governor Whitmer's Department of Natural Resources raising camping fees at
Michigan's modern and semi modern campsites starting in August. The
department says new nightly raids, which take effect August first,
(35:41):
will allow the state park system to enhance visitor experiences
across Michigan. House Democrats introducing a bill to make the
Michigan Constitution gender neutral. The legislation would remove the definition
of marriage as being between a man and a woman
from the Michigan Constitution, and the Department of Homeland Security
announcing that assaults on ice agents up eight hundred and
(36:04):
thirty percent because of Democrat rhetoric. This as Border Chief
Tom Holman trying to get as many criminal illegal aliens
out of the country.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Yeah, checking the markets today at a little bit of
a drop. Yesterday daz up one hundred, a little bit
of green out there after solid bank earnings, taming some
inflation data. But the inflation data wasn't Really I don't
think that's the headline because if you look, if you
look at what they're saying on CBC in another article,
(36:33):
it's wholesale inflation measure was unchanged in June. Now, they tried,
I told you what they were going to try and
do yesterday, and they did. They tried to push that
out as if it was some some big, big deal,
Oh inflation, Trump's tarifs are rocket and flannel. Apparently it
turns out that's not the case. I told you. Watch
their reporting and it shifted as the numbers came out.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Welcome man.
Speaker 1 (00:03):
We appreciate you doing here. Whether it's today another big
one and yeah, look I get it. It's it's a
little there's a lot going on. So sometimes you get
big headlines like this and you think there's a yeah,
what about that. That's a great question. It's a story
(00:26):
that's that's been overlooked and I think drove many of
us to the polls and to vote for the president.
And it isn't promise made, promise kept one that's not
getting the attention it deserves.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
News, weather, and traffic, his stories of the day. We
are talking about what matters most in West Michigan and beyond.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
This is the big three now see speak Yes, all
the stories that you won't hear anywhere, well them as
many as we can get to in the fastest hour
of radio that we've got here. It flies by every day,
(01:08):
and we'll make sure that we do our best to
get to as many as possible. Good friends at HHM Lending,
Heartland Holme Mortgage, they've got away on the team ready
to help you whether you want to buy or refine
home equity, line of credit and got all these different
solutions for each individual customized just to your needs, and
they've saved us thousands and many of the folks that
(01:28):
listen to this program at the same time, too, Number One,
reach out today for the latest. It's a new low, folks,
a new loan, No, not for Democrats in there behavior,
a new low in border crossings folks coming across that border. Probably,
(01:51):
like I said, I've never seen anything like this. Those
crossings dropped at the lowest level over two years last month,
according to the latest reports on the Home Fartment of
Homeland Security. Officials credit tougher enforcement, increased deportations, and new
deals with Mexico for the sharp decline. At the same time,
there's been a spike and attacks on immigration officers. They're
(02:12):
up eight hundred and thirty percent. I know it's an
unthinkable number. But Democrats at the same time caught trying
to docks these ICE agents. In fact, Senator Alyssa Slocke
in the Democrat out of Michigan one with the bill
that would like to unmask them and make it illegal
for them to wear masks while they're trying to perform
(02:36):
their jobs. Speaking of the Senate, they got it done
last night. They needed jd Vance along the way, but
big news they advanced the nine billion in requests for
spending cuts. They were tied fifty to fifty. JD had
to come in last minute decision vote there and help
(02:58):
them move that forward that it's going to cut all
that us AID waste, fraud of abuse, as well as
some of the PBS Public Broadcast MPR. If you can't
survive on your own, why would you? Why would you
get money from taxpayers to do it? Just incredible and
(03:21):
by the way, the programming leaves a lot to be
desired to call back telling elected Integrity Committee members Jocelyn
Benson only follows the laws she agrees with. Yesterday, big testimony,
they're at the House Committee there in Lansing, Midwestern with
(03:46):
the story, and I thought very interesting. We watched part
of it as we're alive here yesterday and it was
fascinating to hear what he brought through and brought out.
In fact, I thought, so fascinating. Why don't we have
Patrick to join us on the show and he'll do
just that, coming up with what like nine thirty this
(04:09):
morning right here on West Michigan Live, nine thirty five.
I guess technically, give you a chance to joining the
conversation at any time. You can do so if you
want to jump on the phones. Love to hear from
you and questions, comments, concerns, if anything.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Call Justin now at six one six seven seven four
twenty four twenty four. That's six one six seven seven
four twenty four to twenty four West Michigan Live with
Justin Barclay on news Radio Wood thirteen hundred and one
oh six nine a f M.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, some of that testimony yesterday.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
We hear a lot of conversation in comparisons or I
should say confusion with recounts versus.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
An audit wrap. Mike Hogley touch a little.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Bit on those differences, and I will have a follow
up to that.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
In summary, recount is an audit light. It's only looking
at one set of records, pretty much in the actual
in those all those election records that I was talking about,
and so there's a big narrative that goes on that says,
all you have to do is look at the ballots
and you know whether or not you got a high
integrity election. That is a lie from the pit of hell.
There's a lot of other records that you can you
can count all the ballots you want, but you don't
(05:18):
know if you got ad Jason Lemoyne Daniel in the
middle of it. That's one hundred and seventy year old,
and you've got a question how the heck did he
get a ballot to cast in the first place. So
bottom line is recounts our insufficient in scope to determine
whether or not a ballots or an election has been
conducted with integrity. You need to do a full scope
audit that looks at all those key election records. And
(05:39):
the closest we've gotten to that so far in the
country has been what was done in Arizona, frankly, and
even that was it didn't address all the different election records,
and the media just focused in on the recount because
that's the narrative that they're trying to push, Because you
can fake all the rest of the data here and
(05:59):
steal election, but as long as you make sure that
you've got the right ballots inserted at the right time
during the recount, everything's funky dory.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Interesting conversation. Of course, during that testimony again he accused
Jocelyn Benson if issuing unlawful guidance selectively enforcing election laws
that's because she has, by the way, not just Pat
Colbeck's opinion, that's the opinion of multiple judges. He's broken
the laws over and over again. He called Michigan's voting
(06:29):
system opaque, unaccountable, and riddled with discrepancies, highlighting a three
hundred and fifty thousand ballot gap in the qualified voter
file from the twenty twenty election. By the way, that's
that's that file. That's that's exactly what they decide who
can and can't vote. And it's very important stuff. It's
(06:51):
something that I think a lot of us pre twenty
twenty didn't take the time to wrap her heads around.
But Pat's got them on a feed to do it
because he actually has been doing this much much longer,
much further back in fact, in twenty sixteen, even when
President Trump won the first time around, he questioned and
(07:13):
looked at the election because they were issues and he
wanted to make sure that that was taken care of.
He's what he's found through the years is really fascinating. Again,
we're going to talk to him coming up this morning
at I guess we will call that nine thirty five.
(07:33):
He wants a full forensic audit not just recounts, restoring trust,
pointing the seventy one percent of Detroit absentee boards being
unbalanced where ballots totals didn't line up, so with the
pull books. In other words, if the numbers don't line up,
and the numbers shouldn't lie in this case, what's going on,
particularly Detroit, You've got citizens of Detroit standing out. People
(07:58):
people of color, that's what they would call them, but
black folks in those neighborhoods standing up and saying, look,
we just this doesn't make sense, and we demand transparency.
That's what they'd like. In fact, you'll hear it from
his mouth coming up, like I said nine thirty five today.
(08:19):
But first I mentioned this, and I'm telling you these
border numbers. We've got a lot going on the last
few weeks. And I understand there's lots to talk about.
There's lots of speculation, there's lots lots of palace intrigue
and behind the scenes and the rest of it. And
I get that. I am just as much concerned and
(08:43):
I'm just as much interested in some of those issues
as you are. But I will tell you we got priorities,
and the number one priority President Trump, I believe anyway.
When he came into office, head was number one, closing
the border. Because if you don't stop the bleeding, if
you don't plug the hole, right, there's just that you're
(09:04):
not gonna be able to do anything that you want
to do. You gotta get in entriage, stop the bleeding.
Then start kicking out some of these solks. Let's start
with the most criminal amongst them, some of the most violent, right,
some of the rapists, the murderers, some of those people
that real issues. Right. That's what he's done. And it's
(09:28):
time to give credit where credit is due. And while
we have this headline today, you gotta also include thanks
President Trump, illegal crossings dropping to historic loves. In June,
according to the CBP, just six thousand and seventy two
(09:50):
southern border apprehensions and twenty five thousand, two hundred and
twenty eight total nationwide in CA owners, the lowest numbers
ever recorded ever. That's the Trump effect in action. And
(10:12):
why is that important? Again, If you didn't do this,
if you didn't start here, you couldn't get anything else done.
You couldn't get anything else done. It had to happen,
and it is a perfect example. We were told we
(10:32):
need new laws. Remember they were all about why didn't
the Republicans vote for these laws? You need a new
law to get this done. Turns out you didn't need
a new law, just needed a new president, or I
guess a president period, one that doesn't need the auto pen. Right.
None of this is luck. It's all because of the
(10:54):
decisive policies that President Trump put forth in a campaign
and now is laying out as he's taken office. National
emergency declaration, deployment of troops, rebuilding the border wall, reinstating
the remain in Mexico policy that was a big one.
The results, smuggling networks in retreat, migrants pausing, and the
(11:18):
EUA sees real enforcement, not empty talk. It's actually getting
the job done. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott's
saying the agency is delivering results on every front, from
stopping illegal crossings to seizing record fentanyl and enforcing trillions
in terrace. This is a Safer America plane and the
(11:40):
simple So look, if you've been tired of all the
border chaos wide open, all of the empty promises of
the Biden administration, and everything else that we've got to
deal with, through the years. You should be happy today. This,
This is this is what strong leadership looks like. This,
(12:04):
this is the perfect example. Matter of fact. And yes,
President Trump, we owe him a deta gratitude. Thank you
for making the border secure again and making the country
safe again. We are well on our way that other
stat I told you about as they fight this truth
(12:27):
And now, by the way, you know why you deport
all these folks here illegally in places like California, they
lose electoral votes and congressional seats stay, lose power. And
that's the one thing Democrats care more about than anything else.
(12:52):
All right, end of the show, and on we go.
More coming up in just mens. In fact, we got
some more good news. We got callback coming up at
nine point thirty five, will get to him on the way.
The White House reported reviewing up to one million documents
approved by Biden with the auto pen. And they finally
(13:13):
released that crazy letter speaking of the violent left, They
finally released that crazy letter, the letter of the crazed
killer of those local politicians in Minnesota. What's inside of it?
The unhinged confession to cash Pttel and more all coming
up breaking down the story.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
It's West Michigan Live with Justin Barkley on News Radio
would thirteen hundred and one oh six nine af AM.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
HEREI your headlines from the Midwesterner this Wednesday, July sixteenth.
I'm Robin Hoffman. It's a Midwesterner Dot News original story.
House Democrats introducing a bill to make the Michigan Constitution
gender neutral. If the bill is passed, it would remove
the definition of marriage between a man and a woman
from the nineteen sixty three Michigan Concoil Institution. Governor Whitmer's
(14:01):
Department of Natural Resources boosting camping fees at our state's
modern and semi modern campsites starting in August. The department
says new nightly rates, which take effect August first, will
allow the state park system to enhance visitor experiences across Michigan.
And President Trump in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at Carnegie Mellon University
(14:24):
talking about the administration's huge investment in energy and tech.
The investment includes about seventy billion dollars for AI.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Today's commitments are ensuring that the future is going to
be designed, built, and made right here in Pennsylvania and
right here in Printsburgh. And I have to say, right
here in.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
The United States of America.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
For these stories and more, visit the Midwesterner at the
Midwesterner dot news.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
No. I got to tell you, this summer is really
starting to heat up and it's in full swing almost.
This is how you know things are really you know,
you've got to really soak it up. This is where
you know at Michigan because we only get it. We
only get a few months of this, right Uh. And uh,
let's say start seeing the back to school stuff because
(15:10):
once July fourth has done, it's all started to come out,
all the backpacks, all the school supplies, everything in the
stores and it's all out now. And of course we've
got a backpack for a four year old. The other
day she said, I want to back be so we
got here something new and U. But it just it's
sad because it's a sign that summer is coming to
a close swiftly. So make sure you soak it up.
We've had a wonderful, fantastic summer, uh, teaching the kids
(15:35):
out official girls love that time at the lake, playing
outside and all the fun things that you like to do.
And I got to tell you the reason I'm able
to do them now more than ever is because my
pain is gone. I used to have foot pain, back
pain from time to time, some leg issues as well,
and I gotta tell you, ever since I walked into
the Good Feed Store, it's been gone. Just like that.
(15:57):
I tell you, I tried on their custom personalized to
art supports and they've been a game changer. My pain
is gone. I feel more balanced, my body just functions better.
So if you're ready, if you're ready to do in
the pain. I know summer's coming to an end, but
wouldn't it be nice if the season of pain was
over as well? Walk into the Good Feet Store today,
Step in and feel the difference. Good Feed Store twenty
(16:21):
eighth Street, right in front of Costco and Portage, or
in Westnige there in front of Cole's. Come in and
experience that good feet feeling for yourself at the Good
Feet Store. We've got multiple stories headed your way this morning,
and as I mentioned, Pat Colbeck joins us at nine
thirty five, so I want to make sure we get
to all of those. But big news in Michigan's auto industry,
(16:42):
and again this is another story that Trump deserves credit for.
We didn't really get a chance to spend a lot
of time on this. I think this news came out. Yes,
you might come out after the show was over, but
it's news that deserves to be repeated and reported and
loud and clear. GM now four billion dollar plan to
(17:04):
brain manufacturing of the Cadillac Escalade. I believe it's a
Gmcci era and the Chivrolet Silverado. Back to the Orient
township plans. They're coming in from other states. Why is
that such a big thing. I've been talking about this.
I have been very concerned about all the manufacturing, all
(17:25):
the new infrastructure, the things that are coming into the
United States, and I say, I just don't I don't
want Michigan to miss out on it. Why is it
so important? Well, you got the Democrats in the House
in Michigan right now, as we have real things that
we need to get done and real shifts that need
to happen, we get Democrats in the House right now
(17:47):
putting out bills to change the Michigan Constitution to make
it gender neutral. Now, how high up is that on
your list that we've got to get the Michigan Constitution
to be gender neutral and affirm They've vims and this,
that and the others and all that. That's the most
important thing on the list right now. It's incredible. And meanwhile,
(18:14):
this is why Democrats have had some of the lowest
numbers in popularity. In fact, big alarms. We did this
yesterday in the after show, the report from the Hill
talking about how Democrats are losing popularity at record clips. Well,
this is why people don't care about this stuff. You know,
they care about are you going to be able to
get me by job back at the plant? Am I
(18:38):
going to be able to keep it? Am I going
to be able to feed by kids? Are my kids
going to be able to have a better life than me?
And particularly here in Michigan as we've seen, that's been
such an issue. But as if you're a House Democrat,
guess you don't care about those sort of things. You
care more about pronouns than producing results. That's that's the difference, folks.
(19:08):
Well more on that and Pat Colbeck joining us after
this don't go anywhere West Michigan Live back after this.
Strong words yesterday from Pat Colbeck, the former Michigan Senator
(19:29):
taking the standard testify essentially in the House Election Integrity
Committee in Lansing. Great questions and that great testimony there.
What did he have to say, just among a few
of the subjects.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
One set of records pretty much in the actual in
those all those election records that I was talking about,
And so there's a big narrative that goes on that says,
all you have to do is look at the ballots
and you know whether or not you got a high
integrity election. That is a lie from the pit of hell.
There's a lot of other records that you can You
can count all the ballots you want, but you don't
know if you got a Jason Lemoyne Daniel in the
(20:06):
middle of it, that's a hundred and seventy year old
and you got a question, how the heck did he
get a ballot to cast in the first place?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
All Right, I got to stop it there because I
thought that was some of the most important. There's so
many different things that came out yesterday. Not only did
he urge a full forensic on it, not just recounts
to restore trust, said seventy one percent of Detroit absentee
boards being unbalanced, where ballants didn't total, they didn't they
didn't line up, they didn't total, line up with pull books.
(20:35):
So you got to have that transparency for the QVF,
get those things all fixed. Talked about what to do
with the machines. At one point. I thought that was
quite a moment, and the urged federal investigation. Speaking of which,
there's one particular individual who has broken the law again
and again and again, and I just wonder she'll find
(20:56):
herselves for herself in the crosshairs during the all this.
She says she should be able to run for governor
and oversee her own election. We saw how that happened
and worked in Arizona and didn't like the results. Pat
appreciate you taking the time to be here with us today.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Always good to be with you, justin you know.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Speaking speaking of which, I mentioned this earlier. You've been
on this trail. This isn't a partisan thing for you,
This isn't a Trump issue for you. You've been on
this trail far before the twenty twenty election.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Yeah, actually, dating back to twenty sixteen election, I was
nominated to serve as vice chair of the Election the
Government Reform Committee. As part of that effort, I went
off and converted all of our election processes into a
series of process slow diagrams. So I could better understand it,
so when bills came before the committee, I would understand
(21:53):
what the actual impact of that bill would be on
our election system. And it was my staff or a
Penny Crider and her husband Ken, that were out in
Detroit during the twenty sixteen recount and they found this
precinct where they had fifty ballots in the batle container,
yet the statement of votes showed that three hundred and
six votes have been cast, and I immediately called for
(22:14):
an investigation to be performed by the Attorney General and
Secretary of State Ruth Johnson did an investigation based on
her best available information at the time because she didn't
have the authority the Attorney General did, and she identified
thirty one counts of fraud just from looking at the
databases in that twenty sixteen election. So of course the
(22:36):
Attorney General, Bill Shooty didn't do anything with it. But
I'm telling you this has been around for a while.
We had Catherine Engelbreck ready to come in and testify
back in that timeframe, and politics internally with Republicans, particularly
Senate Majority Leader Arland Mikoff and Senator Dave Robertson, who
(22:57):
was the chair of the Elections Committee didn't want Catherine
to come in and talk about our problems with our
election system, so we could have fixed it back then.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Isn't that something and and and stood of. I mean,
this just goes to show how long this has been
a problem. And and you know why, it's it's long overdue.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Anyway, let's talk about today and one of those questions,
as you mentioned, what the FEDS are up to now,
what President Trump would like to see done. Now we
got executive orders. That's part of the conversation of what
took place yesterday, that are that are underway? That that
really calling the question the way things are run here
in the state of Michigan. Are we at odds with
those executive orders?
Speaker 4 (23:40):
No, well, we're out at odds from the standpoint that
it's statute, it's in it's Uh. But what I called
for yesterday during the investigator is an investigation of whether
or not the State of Michigan's election system actually does
comply with those orders. And I would submit off the
top of that my head, the executive Order one three
(24:02):
eight seven three, which talks about making sure that we
don't have components from our adversaries embedded inside critical infrastructure
systems like our election system. You know, on the face
of that, right now, we know that Dominion, through its
own internal emails, has over about forty eight percent of
(24:24):
their components for the image cast precincts, which are in
every single precinct in Michigan where we have Dominion voting systems,
forty eight percent of those components come from China. And
so technically to your question, I mean, no, we're not
in compliance on the face of it right now. And
those machines, those systems should not even be operational chag
(24:47):
the state of Michigan. They shouldn't even be imported into
the state of Michigan if we actually follow the federal law.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
You called for investigations as well. Here, Look, he's been
a judge, multiple judges. Benson has broken the law. But
I'm not seeing Attorney General Dana nessil Ron and jump
and uh and and really do any digging here with her?
Uh don't doesn't seem like we're going to see that
(25:15):
at the state level. Will the Feds jump in?
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Well, let's find out they've got I know, I've filed
a couple of letters with the US Attorney of the
Eastern district. Also, we've got action on a letter I
submit a formal complaint with d O j UP in
d C. So there's a lot of wheels in motion,
if you will, around those topics. I obviously, during the
(25:43):
committee testimony, I tried to highlight all the investigations that
should be ongoing, including the compliance with those executive orders
such as the ones barring components from foreign adversaries and
our critical systems. But I also called for criminal investigations
of John Polis for his perjury before the Michigan Senate
(26:04):
on December fifteen, twenty twenty under oath, which, guys, it's
not just about holding it accountable for what I believe
are blatant falseids. But his testimony formed the basis of
the Michigan Senate report that was put out by Senator
mcbroome and Tye and buys On, and that report, I mean,
(26:28):
I've been at this for over five years since twenty
twenty election. That report that they put out has been
used in pretty much every single legal case regarding the
twenty twenty election as a basis for saying that nothing
happened that was bad in the twenty twenty election. And
so when you realize that the Polish testimony forms the
(26:49):
backbone of the Senate report, and the Senate report forms
the backbone of all these dismissals of cases on the
twenty twenty election, which also ties into all the sanctions
going on to lawyers that put forward evidence of election fraud.
Now you start seeing that this is kind of a
herplunk stick. So that's why this investigation into John Polis
is so important. I believe. Also in the wake of
(27:13):
our submittal of a criminal complaint to Dana Nessel to
investigate John Polis. It was a fifty one page complaint,
she responded in five business days saying, there's nothing to
see here, and we performed a thorough investigation of your
claims and all fifty one pages of them, mind you,
(27:33):
and I believe there's evidence that suggests that there's wilfrom
neglective duty there. When I submitted Foyer requests and follow
up to the submittal of that complaint and her rebuttal
or her response, we found out that there was no
investigative report that was done for this thorough investigation. We
also find out that the only communication that she had
(27:53):
with her inside the Attorney General office on this was
how to respond to the press regarding this criminal com plan.
And then, of course Joscelyn Benson, as you mentioned, I mean,
she's been found in violation to have She's been found
to have issued unlawful guidance to our clerks by seven
separate courts. That's the chief election official in the state
(28:14):
is routinely giving unlawful guidance to our election officials. They
assume that when they're getting guidance from the Secretary of
State that it's in accordance with the law, and it's not.
As a matter of fact, during the testimony yesterday, I
showed a clip from Joscelyn Benson's own attorney testifying to
the fact that she only follows the laws that she
likes and for if you don't like that, you can
(28:36):
go ahead and sewer. Well, that's what we've had to do,
and that's where those seven court decisions came from. We've
been forced to sewer for not following the law. So
there's a her wrap sheet is longer than all the
rest of them. And then and in order to stop
what I believe, in order to stop the flow of
loss she had in the courts, she decided to improve
(29:00):
her odds a little bit by providing an eighty two
dollars donation quote unquote to Justice Kyra Bolden on the
Michigan Supreme Court, who, months after receiving that donation, issued
the majority opinion in favor of Jocelyn Benson after Benson
had lost unanimously in the lower court. And so that's bribery.
(29:23):
From my perspective, it walks like a duck, talks like
a dock. It's a duck, and this case it certainly
looks like it was bribery. So yeah, there's a lot
of investigations that I would like to see kicked off,
and the Michigan House has a lot of authority to
get movement on those investigations should they seek to request them.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
You know, Betty just goes back to dust all of this,
you know, twenty twenty one, I really took a look
at this. I think a lot of us did, and
I just I came away with this. I don't care
what anybody says. My main standpoint is there should never
even be an appearance of impropriety in our elections, and
(30:05):
the fact that that remains is the biggest So for me,
my question is how do we restore and repair? And
can we do do you believe that we can do
that in a way that not just Republicans but also
democratic everyone everyone could say this is you know what,
we have a system that works here.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Yeah. My one word solution and this is what the
focus of my testimony yesterday was was on transparency. I mean,
if you are so confident that you're conducting the elections
with accuracy and integrity, then put all your cards face up.
And that's not what's been happening under Joscelyn Benson. She's
been doing everything she can to prevent access to information
(30:50):
that would expose her malfeasance. And I'll tell you every
time we, you know, get over the target and highlight
the malfeasans, she goes off and restricts the access to
that information every single time. And I called it a
game of three card money she's trying to pull on
the citizens of Michigan. Here's she's Paulman the queen, and
(31:13):
it's now we're in the in the in the deck
that she's actually gonna allow you to go off and
see and so it's really it's about time she gets
exposed and the way to go off and address. This
is to demand transparency on the conduct of our elections.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Pat Coldbeck former Michigan State Senator, and he is in
the fight on election integrity leg down other Pat and No.
Folks can download your presentation and propose rules for electronic voting.
You've got them up online the website ism I Grassroots
Alliance dot org will make sure that that makes it
into the stack today as well. Anything else that folks
(31:53):
want to keep in mind her maybe some previews of
what you have still yet to come.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Well. I think it's important that everybody under stand that
we're asking for additional subpoenas. And I also want to
give kudos to the Michigan House that we have right now.
Sometimes they just get beaten up left and right for
not doing what we want them to go off and do.
But I'll tell you we got an excellent group in
the Michigan House, particularly the Republican side of the fence
under Speaker Matt Hall and under a Representative Jada Boyer
(32:19):
in the Michigan Oversight Committee. He has permanent subpoena authority,
and Representative Rachelle Smitt has been fantastic. She's got a
strategy and how to expose these guys going forward, and
she's chairing the Election Integrity Commission, and so it's a
good group of people. Give them support, please, And it's
not an easy job. I know first and for my
(32:40):
eight years in the Michigan Senate, and these guys are
actually doing some really good work. And up in DC,
everybody's looking for hope whatever. I can tell you that
there are very very good things happening in DC on
our behalf regarding election fraud. And the President Trump has
a picture of his mug shot outside the Old Wall
Office as a reminder that these guys will not stop
(33:03):
at anything to go off and try to silence our voices.
And we need to fight back in the courts of
law while they go off and do all these stupid
little riots and everything on the outside and throw bricks
at ice agents. We have to take the high road,
and we've got the ability now to take that high
road in the justice system with the friends that we
(33:24):
have up in DC. So have hope, everybody. It's the
wheels are definitely in motion.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Pat called back former Michigan State Cenator election integrity warrior,
