Speaker 1 (00:01):
Buy from higher top Monroe Center in downtown Grand Rapids.
We're talking about what matters most to you when West
Michigan joined the conversation. Now at six one six seven
seven four, twenty four twenty four. At six one six
seven seven four twenty four twenty four, it's West Michigan
Live with Justin Barklay on Wood Radio Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Oh welcome here, fucklow, a little hotter than they expected?
Or wait a minute, what's going on here? I'm I'm
gonna break this latest inflation news down. We're gonna get
to it. All the stories you're gonna want to hear
coming out in just moments. Plus the pressure's on with Plutin.
(00:42):
That story is breaking news and more out of Michigan
than I guarantee you haven't heard this morning the latest news, weather, traffic, truth, budget,
in common sense.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
After this news, weather and traffic, his stories of the day,
We're talking about what matters most in West Michigan and beyond.
This is the big three now say speak three.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, the stories that matter. The story is You'll be
talking around the water cooler about or maybe the bonfire
and still maybe soaking up some rays on the beach
or by the pool. No matter where you are, these
are those stories powered by our good friends at Heartland
Home Mortgage, damp Kellalley and the team looking to help you.
(01:36):
No matter what situation you're in. You want to buy, refinance,
home equity, line of credit, you need help. They can
get the job done. They're faster, better than the big banks,
and with a friendly always a friendly smile. So we
love Heartland Home Mortgage. They saved us thousands. Another great
reason every time we actually worked with them several times.
(01:59):
Dave the team standing by ready to help you on
Hagimlynding dot com. Reach out and get said number one. Now,
these stories the biggest of the day, the ones that
you'll be talking about. Listen, I've got a list of
a who's who here, and let's kick off with alyssa
(02:24):
slunkin senator here in Michigan, the Democrat who says, yeah,
you know, I'd like to get a new belt out
there that would ban ice agents from wearing masks. You
talk about dangerous, one of the most dangerous stunts you
could pull at a time like this. That's what they're after.
Why do they hate law enforcement so much? Why do
(02:46):
they hate Americans so much? It's a great question because
Americans are all for what's happening right now. If you
look at the polling, the latest would indicate Americans support
Donald Trump and the President and his his latest moves
to make America safe again. Taking these masks off these
(03:07):
individuals and telling law enforcement folks they can't wear them,
will expose their identities and moves comes as a tax.
Now are happening on Ice Agency next skyrocketing up seven
hundred percent. Thousands of criminal aliens are being deported every day.
Critics say that bill puts law enforcement in danger, and
I agree, especially during a time I think these escalated
(03:28):
threats number mass layoffs set to begin not at your job,
but at the Department of Ed. Supreme Court ruling as
today the President Trump has the authority of fire employees
at the department, and of course they expect about fourteen
fifteen hundred or so are on their way out the door,
(03:51):
at least that is. The decision comes as a Trump
says he pushes to overhaul the agency, which he's long
criticized as being bloated and in effect. Supporters say that
ruling restores accountabilities cricket ORRNT. It could politicize education. Could
It's already happened. That's why this is taking place, last,
(04:12):
but not least here in Michigan, Benson brad they broke
the law. The most lawless secretary of state involved in
this shocker, I just so which clutch my pearls too
hard here? But yes, it turns out the most lawless
secretary of state, SHOUSLYN. Benson, was involved in a bit
(04:36):
of another. But this is another issue. This took place,
was it yesterday? The day before? Michigan's Bureau of Elections
Director Jonathan Brader admitted under oath that of December first,
twenty twenty, Wait a minute, not the twenty twenty election. Again,
I thought there was nothing wrong. I thought they told
(04:58):
us breathlessly at endless amounts that it was nothing to
see here in the twenty twenty election. HM Braid's admitted
under oath that a December one, twenty twenty directive instructing
local clerks to delete twenty twenty election poll book flash
(05:19):
drive data by the seventh calendar day following the final
canvas and certification of the election was unlawful. Rader made
the admission during a probable cause hearing in court as
part of the case against former Adams Township clerk Stephanie Scott.
That's ongoing as we speak. And the in election news today,
(05:42):
Pat Kolbeck, our good friend, former senator here in Michigan
is testifying. I believe in the house is where this
is all going down as we speak. Nine am is
set to be the beginning of the testimony, and so
the latest sit in the fire works that come out
of it this morning, you'll get it on the way,
(06:03):
don't go anywhere. Wow, look at that? Can you imagine?
Can you imagine? Oh? I. Meanwhile, let's get this, let's
get this show started today. We'll give you a chance,
toway in, are you surprised by any of these stories?
We still got to talk about CPI and more.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Called Justin now at six one, six seven seven four
twenty four at six one, six seven seven twenty four
twenty four West Michigan Live with Justin Barclay on News
Radio Wood thirteen hundred and one oh six nine alf.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Anue Consumer Price in dex story. There's a lot more
still to that. We got to make sure that we
get you the specifics on it. Now. Big question is
it time to fire Jerome palell fed share, Can Trump
do that? Will he walk? And uh? And really will
we get these interest rates lower to where they'd like
(06:57):
to see? Things really get moving in the right direction.
That is, it's all kind of top of the conversation,
especially with the economically with the crowd this one. We
had tech talk segment coming up as well, and there
was some monkey and with the numbers. I've got to
explain that to you. So hang in there. But this
(07:19):
is all jam packed, trying to just fit it all,
you know, ten pounds of stuff into a five pound
sec sort of fitting. And that's what we're dealing with today.
So people in charge in charge of the elections caught
breaking the law? What do you do? It's happened over
and over and over again, yet there seems to be
no accountability for Jocelyn Benson, who now says she wants
(07:43):
to oversee her own election. She's broken the law subsequently
in these others and now she says, trust me, I'll
take care of my election for governor. Oh I'm fair.
Oh I'm absolutely gonna make sure that you you don't
have to worry about a thing. I got it taken
(08:03):
care of. She wants to become a governor, and she
wants that power so badly. I don't really know if
there's anything she wouldn't do to seize it. Now, she
is much worse in a scheme of things than even
a Gretchen Whitmor the Wolverine Queen was really more of
a pragmatist. She was someone who was really more practical.
(08:25):
She was all about climbing the ladder, you know, to
the next rung. And yet you can still see if
she's walking around making her TikTok videos, flying off to
all these different countries, trying to make it appear like
she's got some sort of foreign policy initiatives underway, when
really it's all about campaign trying to get geared up
(08:47):
for that run in twenty twenty eight for the president,
and Democrats' chances right now aren't great anyway. So this is,
you know, this is something that she may you never know,
she may have a shot, at at least she thinks
she does. J Justcen Benzon is much worse. Yes, she
(09:08):
likes the power, she'll love being governor, But really what
drives for his ideology not so much with Benson. What
I mean by ideology, look at the history. Look at
what she did before she ended up where she is today.
Look who funded her campaigns, Look what organizations she worked for.
I could send that she is a communist. She is
(09:30):
someone that is all in on all this George Soros nonsense,
and of course would be a tool of those people.
She would be much much worse than than Gretchen Whitmer has.
And look at the current state of this state. We
got all kinds of business manufacturing flowing into the country,
(09:52):
new investment, and meanwhile you've got all of the places
and pieces and parts of businesses that could have landed
in Michigan falling around us being a falling you get
the old guard, right, some of the old establishments selling
out and closing down. You just started Kellogg's last week,
(10:15):
and now we're getting the latest story just this week
about how Howard Miller and the clocks. This is just
sadn sees, particularly in West Michigan. So why would we
put more of these people, double down on those field policies,
put these people back into power again in twenty twenty eight.
(10:37):
Well maybe you wouldn't, but that's what Jocelyn Benson is
working to do behind the scenes. Make sure that your
voice doesn't matter. Why how do we know? Because she's
done it before a judge, multiple judges has ruled that
she's broken the law over and over again. And this week,
Michigan's on Jonathan brad that's Jocelyn Benson's hand picked director
(11:01):
of elections, has admitted under oath that a directive sent
to clerks statewide back in twenty twenty. Remember, I mean
you you do remember twenty twenty and I know it's
five years ago, but this was a critical moment in history.
Many people questioned the election. They were simultaneously told that
you can't immediately, you can't ask any questions about this election.
(11:25):
It was fair, it was, it was true, it was
it was wonderful. It was the best election that ever election.
Now again it also elected Joe Biden at record numbers,
even bigger than Obama. So if you believe there wasn't
any issue, I think maybe you've got the real disconnection
from reality. What was the directive that Rater got from
(11:47):
Benson to delete poll book flash drive data? You know,
the kind of data that helps trek who voted and win? Now,
why would that be important? Did we ever need that?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
That?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Would we ever want to hold on to it. Not
only did they try to sweep the data under the rug,
they issued a written order telling clerks to do so.
Quote Deleite by the seventh day, they said, folks, this
isn't just some clerical error. This is destruction of public records.
(12:21):
It's plain and simple. It flies in a face of
Michigan election law. On federal law too, says you've got
to keep those records on hand for twenty two months
after election. Why would you want to do that just
to make sure you could go back and check your work.
Do you remember in school so you weren't caught cheating
on your homework or test. A teacher might ask you,
(12:45):
all right, let's show your work. How did you get
to this conclusion? Now, if they got to do it
in school, these folks should have to do it when
they're running things as important as elections twenty two months,
not a week twenty two months. If you were I
(13:10):
delated government documents, especially anything tied to an election, if
Trump did it, we'd all be in handcuffs. But when
the Michigan Elections Bureau does it, crickets. Where's the accountability?
Where's the outrage? From the meeting? You know, the same
people that told us we were crazy to question anything.
(13:32):
I mean, real people you would know, whose names you
would recognize at big organizations. The fingers started pointing and
flying at me in ways that I'd never seen before.
In twenty twenty, same people used to come on this program,
people who used to be friends or maybe even partners
in some ways. There's reasons why you don't hear them anymore,
(13:54):
and there's reasons why there's been a disconnection. Well, I
and many others like me, we've all been ostracized for
asking those questions when we saw things that didn't line up,
we saw things that didn't add up, and now this
guy has admitted it under oath. So I'm gonna ask you,
where's the investigation into Johnson Benson's office. When is Dana
(14:18):
Nessel going to dig in and start doing some wheelwork.
Who knew what and when? Now this isn't even about
going back and relitigating the twenty twenty election, but it
is ensuring that we know the answers, and it's really
(14:40):
about ensuring that we still have a country, a republic
where elections are still free and fair and transparents, or
at least at the very least there's an appearance of such.
There is he never been an appearance of any impropriety.
I said that over and over over again in twenty
(15:01):
twenty and again. What a wild year for saying there
should never even be an appearance of impropriety. Of course,
we were the crazy ones for saying, I don't know,
I think maybe you ought to be able to make
your own medical decisions. We were the crazy ones. Well, time,
(15:22):
they say, will tell, and it certainly has. And here
we stand today again, folks, with this latest news. The
question is what were we going to do about it?
What is going to be done if we don't hold
these people accountable? Now, what happens in twenty twenty six.
Twenty twenty four election was the most important election for
our country, and I believe twenty six will be for
(15:44):
this state. Now is the time. I know many of
you in this news may make some of you feel
weary and saying I just I'm not nothing's gonna happen.
I've completely unplugged from this, and I would tell you
dealt because that's exactly what they want. If you don't
stand up now, if you don't demand the truth, if
(16:04):
you don't continue to stay in the game, we lose
the ability to demand anything at all later, let alone
the truth. So that's why it is important now more
than ever. And speaking of the truth, I got more
coming up this morning. The truth on these CPI numbers,
the latest inflation. You're gonna want to hear that. Don't
(16:25):
go anywhere because you're not hearing it. Well, there's well,
there's truth, logic, common sense, and then context at play,
and you need all of it. The data don't lie,
they said, Well, the data, it can be manipulated and
(16:48):
you right along with it. So folks, don't go anywhere.
The latest stories. We'll get down to the bottom of
them coming up after this, but first from the Midwest
and the Midwestern or dot News. We'll get our updates
after this. If you're able, please stand for our national.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Here are your headlines from the Midwestern or this Tuesday,
July fifteenth, th I'm Robin Hoffman. It's a Midwesterner. Dot
News original story. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel wants to
shut down one of the nation's most unique bald eagle
habitats here in our state and replace it with eagle
killing wind turbines. There are almost three dozen wind power
(18:36):
facilities operating here in Michigan, and they account for less
than eight percent of our state's total electricity output. In
other news, Michigan Democrat Senator Alissa Slotkin with a new
bill that exposes the identity of federal immigration agents by
proposing a ban on masks. Slockin's bill comes as a
tax on ice agents up a whopping seven hundred percent.
(19:00):
Criminal illegal aliens are being deported by the thousands on
a daily basis. And in news for your Health this morning,
the Trump administration announcing the ice cream industry will be
eliminating certain harmful food dies from products by twenty twenty eight.
Here's the FDA's doctor Marty McCarry.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
We don't need to wait for a ten year randomized
controlled trial.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Parents are telling us that when a kid has.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Abnormal behavior and they try reducing or eliminating the petroleum
based food dies, they have seen behavior improved. That is
data for.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
These stories and more. Visit the Midwesterner at the Midwesterner
Dot News.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Got a little testimony happening right now from a Pat Collback,
former Michigan state senator inside the oversight hearing. What evidence
do you have Pat Alman asking question right now, Red
Pat album.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
I've submitted a complete complaint out to the Attorney Grievance
Commission and also Judicial Tenure Commission with the evidence in
my possession. I Attorney Grievance Commission denied that I had
to go to appeal to Michigan Supreme Court. It's now
before federal authorities. And the basic evidence is Joscelyn Benson
formed the Michigan Legacy Pack. She's the one who controls
(20:20):
the allocation of funds in that pack. And one of
the court cases that I cited, one of the seven
court case you know court decisions, involved a case called
O'Halloran v. Benson. And in that o'hallar and v. Bentson case,
the plaintiff one in the Court of claims plain f
won three zero, as I stated earlier in the Court
(20:40):
of Appeals, and Joscelyn Benson promptly appealed that to the
Michigan Supreme Court afterwards, while that case was before the
Michigan Supreme Court, which Justice Bolden serves on the Michigan
Supreme Court, she was appointed by Governor Whitmer to serve
on it. Her first election was coming up in the
election cycle. While that case was sitting before the court,
(21:06):
Jocelyn Benson's Michigan Legacy Pack issued an eighty two five
dollars donation to the Committee to re Elect or to
elect Justice Kyra Bolden and then Justice Kyra Bolden a
couple months later, wrote the majority opinion in favor of
Bolden in favor of Benson, overturning what had previously been
unanimous decisions against her. So I can't get into the
(21:31):
men's ray on this. I don't know whether or not
she had the intent of being a bribe or not.
I don't have access to those communications. All I have
is FOIA access, and so I called for an investigation
by the Attorney Grievance Commission that has additional authority and
Judicial Tenure Commission and now federal authorities to go and
dig into that and understand whether or not there is
actual intent in support of those facts.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Just some of the testimony happening right now in Lansing
live as we speak. Maybe we'll have Patrick KAHNBLT later
this week to get into the the nitty gritty on it.
Excuse me and get you the full details, uh, and
the latest on some of these big news stories. Of
course the one later uh we had about right earlier
this this show, and of course ah tho, all of
(22:16):
this stuff matters because again, it's not gonna see You're
not gonna hear that on the nightly news tonight. You're
not gonna hear any of his testimony tonight on the
night You gotta you gotta wonder about that. That's a
good question. Why why is that? Be back uh be
back to that. But first let's do some tech talk tack.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Into the latest in tech and how it affects you
and your world. This is tech Talk Tuesday on Wood
Radios West Michigan Live.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Our good friend Trick, can it be standing by with
the latest affordable, affordable eyetorelig Michikan Drive and stand down
ground or for Tech Always at Pleasure and uh AI
at the forefront of our conversation. Today we're gonna get
into AI and the military at the Pentagon, AI in
the classroom, and AI in your kids' hands. Parents, you gotta,
I want you to be engaged on this because this
(23:08):
is something that is so important that you may not
understand yet. Like guarantee your kids they're gonna get taught
about this they're gonna get introduced, could be in just
a matter of weeks in the classroom, and I need
you to understand what's happening, even even right now. Trent, welcome.
I appreciate you taking the time to be here with
us today.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
Yeah, good morning, Justin.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Let's start with the Pentagon story. This is kind of interesting.
Groc who is the AI for ex Elon Musk. And
you'll hear more about Grock here in just a moment.
But Groc had an interesting, interesting moment last week, and
I guess that's putting it lightly. And just after that
(23:49):
moment last week where things seem to go a little bit,
hey whire, we get this story today that Groc will
be used by the Pentagon at some point. They're going
to bring this technology, and now I don't know exactly
what it will be used for. We don't necessarily have
that story, but Groc will be introduced at some point,
(24:13):
and the Pentagon just announced.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
AI chat BOC Grock is coming to Tesla vehicles by
next week, just days after the bought unleashed an anti
semitic rant on his social media platform X Yeah. So
that announcement comes hours after Musk unveiled the latest iteration
of the chatbot, called KROC four. All right, so Musk says,
the new version is quote the smartest AI in the world.
(24:40):
So I want to bring in Sarah Fryar tech.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
So first and foremost, there's a lot to unpack here.
What do we what's going to happen at the Pentagon?
Do we know?
Speaker 6 (24:53):
Yeah, justin good morning. Yes, this is unprecedented because this
is the first time that this is publicly available. And
just to make it clear, this is not just the Pentagon.
This is being released from the General Services Administration, So
that means any government entity, any government agency, will have
acts to the access to this again through some subscription,
(25:17):
through some additional costs, or some sign up, but it's
available to any government agency if it's from the General
Services Administration, so I, r S, FBI, CIA, or any
other you know, Drain Commission, whatever you name it. If
it's a federal agency, it has access to the system.
So as far as the Pentagon goes, just an AI
(25:37):
is the ultimate tool to gather information, to gather intelligence.
AI can can scour the internet, can can read scan
data better than any other system available. So this is
unpreceded territory because it really blurs the line for US
citizens between what is legal uh non warranted UH tracking
(26:04):
or monitoring or information gathering. And then where does court
ordered information gathering come from?
Speaker 2 (26:11):
UH.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
In the past, if you wanted wire tapping or other things,
you had to get a court order, and there's a
legal process for that. Now with AI, it can gather
this information so easily that it really blurs the traditional
line of where is the right of privacy? Where where
does that government uh court ordered information come from? Uh,
(26:34):
it's just completely unknown territory because this is such a
powerful tool.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Let me stop you try. It's not just Depentagon. The
IRS wants to use this too. They want to do
audits with this technology, and that might that might be
a good way to do it. I don't know if
I want an AI accountant working for me, uh, maybe
a human checking everything that the AI did. But essentially
(26:59):
this is this is where they're headed, and I don't
know if there's anything to stop them.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
Yeah, justin I don't know if there is anything to
stop it. And it's like I said, it's so easy
for AI. I mean already, if you're selling stuff on eBay,
the IRS has a statement that you have to file
from your EBA sales. I mean, what's next, Facebook, Marketplace, Craigslist,
your garage sale. You know, that's where AI has the
ability to give them that information. And every time the
(27:25):
government had some easy way to compile that information to
use it to tax you, they've done that. So I
don't know, maybe the Trump administration will handle this differently,
but they're sure not slow to release this technology on
the government agencies.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
All Right, So what happened last week when it came
to AI and Grock kind of going off the rails
a little bit. It sounds like there was there were
all kinds of interesting things that were posted online last week,
anti Semitic comments, et cetera, that got posted up there,
and it just crazy, sort of like it was a
(28:04):
crash out the kids call it these days, but it
will a meltdown of epic proportions of the AI.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Yeah, So justin so, there's a lot of news about this,
but really what happened is is people were chatting with
GROC and they were chatting about, you know, events that
happened like the Texas flooding, things that were very emotional,
catastrophic things that were a large people were saying comments
online about it of who caused this or how this happened,
and they asked Roc these questions, and this is something
(28:33):
that the boundaries of guardrails from recent updates have been lowered,
and so GROC was basically being very candid and saying
things without any heart, without any feeling, without any emotion,
that were very offensive, that were very wrong. And it's
because it's not a human. It's trying to participate in
political discussions, very emotional discussions, and it just has no
(28:56):
ability to do that. It's very poor at that, and
so people are very upset and I'm glad that some
of these things come out because we have to remember
that even if AI is polished, it still has major
issues when dealing with politics. We're dealing with evil people
like Hitler. It doesn't fully understand the scope of that,
and there's a hard time interacting with people that way,
(29:19):
and that is that is something to be aware of
because when AI is used elsewhere and it's relied upon
for things that are personal that are political, we need
that human perspective. Computers cannot process that.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Wait till AI starts making decisions on who who lives
and who dies. I mean, I can guarantee, like places
like Canada where they're already starting to set up the
youth in Asia and some of those other things, that
they'll they'll use this. Hey, I know that stuns dom
and gloom and that's sort of like science fiction and whatnot.
But this right here is not. They are bringing AI
(29:57):
into the classrooms and your kids are going to get
a hold of it. They haven't already done so shortly
and maybe just in a matter of weeks. In fact,
it'll be in schools. The kids may have already been
using it themselves if it wasn't formally introduced to them,
and that comes with a whole other list of questions
(30:17):
and concerns from parents.
Speaker 6 (30:19):
It sounds like, yeah, just the University of California proved
AI to be used for all their students, paid for
the subscription over a half a million dollars. And that's
at a college level obviously, So it's not that teachers
are afraid of it or colleges aren't afraid of it,
where they sort of should be because people are using
this to cheat on stuff, but they're actually encouraging and
(30:42):
providing the use for us and in lower grades This
is something that Microsoft and others are working together to
get this into the classroom set and get this technology
available to students. And again, just getting it available to
the students is one step. The next step is where
it's actually you. So there are incredible good uses of
this AI where a virtual teacher can help somebody who's
(31:04):
a special need student who struggles with learning. It can
quickly figure out what the best way to teach a
young person some some basic math. I mean, I think
that's a good use of it, you know, social studies,
you know, things like that. That's where it could get
off the rails. But there's certain math and sciences at
algebra and geometry that some students have a hard time
grasping in their minds, and AI can quickly kind of
(31:26):
figure out which way is the best way to teach that,
what way that they can learn efficiently and make it
fun and interesting. And so there's some good uses for
AI in that respect.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Trent, can there be affordableized or Lake Michigan Drive and
stand there? What about kids turning to AI for friendship?
This is the latest story that if you're a parent,
you know you're watching your kids go on social media,
you think of one thing I got to be concerned
about is what they might see on the internet there,
but what about who they're talking to? And I'm not
talking about strangers. I'm talking about AI. We've already seen
(31:58):
some really questionable things. A guy in sixty Minutes the
other day they had a show where he's having a
relationship with an AI chat bot that's essentially set up
as a character for him as a girlfriend. And I
just can't imagine the emotional damage or stunting that it
(32:18):
might do to the development of kids, if if they've
developed so much of a relationship. I've asked questions even
just as like Siria on my phone, and my daughter
who's four, thought that was so cool that at times
she say, let's ask the robot this, or let's ask
the robot that, And I go, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, Now,
(32:42):
we're not doing that anymore. The robot's sleeping, honey, he's
taking a nap. But this has got to be I
think concerning to a lot of parents here and then
and maybe just sudden they don't even know what's coming yet.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
Yeah, justin this is the thing with AI. There's a
lot of good tools with it that we talked about
with teaching are certain things, but when it comes to
the relationship side, when it comes to the personal side,
AI is not a human being. Human beings are designed
and meant to be there for each other, to help
each other, and that's something that AI can't do. It's
(33:17):
also too, the scariest part about AIS. It's constantly changing
and evolving. So if there's a model that's your quote
unquote friend, and then the AI changes in, your friend
changes and that's because of whoever is programming and writing
the I, because of political reasons, and now your friend changes.
It's just it's a strange thing. So I think the
key is just you talked about your kids and it's
(33:38):
talking to the robot. I think that's the key. Justice.
As long as we can instill into our children that
it is a robot, it is not a human being,
maybe that will help with some of those common sense
guardrails to say, hey, we need relationships with real people
that have meaning and value in lifelong relationships versus a
robot that's ever changing, ever evolving and not a real thing.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Yeah, I can't imagine what that ends up being like
at some point. AI. By the way, the one story
of the day that I thought might be kind of interesting.
AI and a sixties inspired band. People didn't know, but
they were kind of I guess they were sort of
fooled by it. The Velvet Sundown is the name of
(34:22):
the group. The Velvet Sundown confirmed Saturday. It's viral success
powered by artificial intelligence. Now, I have yet to hear
a song trent that from AI that I've I've heard several,
but nothing that I've heard yet that that is to me. Obviously, AI,
(34:42):
you know that it's okay, this is this is clear,
this is this is not you know, this is not man.
You know this is not somebody wasn't behind this. There's
no soul in it. And as a matter of fact,
I'll pull a clip up and maybe we can play
some of it later. But I just thought this was interesting.
This is just another example of what they're doing with
(35:04):
AI and what could be on the way.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
Yeah, justin if you look at the progression of this
over the last years, I mean a couple of years ago,
the songs were so awful that you could you could
clearly tell. Now obviously they're getting to a point where
it is hard to tell unless you understand music and
have a good ear for it. It's going to come
to a point where you you won't have an ear
for it because it's going to be so good. But
on the other hand, like you said that, that hard
(35:29):
and soul of music of what it communicates ais to
replace that, and it's also going to hurt a lot
of artistic expression short term until people people realize that
and that genre gets separated out.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
I think there was going to be an AI genre
on Spotify.
Speaker 6 (35:47):
At some point.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
This is the velvet sundown. Dust on the wind, I
can hear like a bit of Stairway to Heaven in there. Wow,
that's interesting. Dust all on the wind, on the ground,
(36:14):
smoking sky, no peace found? Is Is this a AI? Woke?
Is this a woke man too?
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Rivers run red?
Speaker 2 (36:24):
The drums were also.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Tell me, brother, where.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
Do we go?
Speaker 2 (36:31):
If I just heard that, I probably wouldn't be able
to tell you it was AI. That's that scary stuff. Trent,
Thank you as always Trent and Ebby Affordable Ice Storm

(00:42):
That story is breaking news and more out of Michigan
than I guarantee you haven't heard this morning the latest news, weather, traffic, truth, budget,
in common sense.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
After this news, weather and traffic, his stories of the day,
We're talking about what matters most in West Michigan and beyond.
This is the big three now say speak three.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, the stories that matter. The story is You'll be
talking around the water cooler about or maybe the bonfire
and still maybe soaking up some rays on the beach
or by the pool. No matter where you are, these
are those stories powered by our good friends at Heartland

reason every time we actually worked with them several times.
(01:59):
Dave the team standing by ready to help you on
Hagimlynding dot com. Reach out and get said number one. Now,
these stories the biggest of the day, the ones that
you'll be talking about. Listen, I've got a list of
a who's who here, and let's kick off with alyssa
(02:24):
slunkin senator here in Michigan, the Democrat who says, yeah,
you know, I'd like to get a new belt out
there that would ban ice agents from wearing masks. You
talk about dangerous, one of the most dangerous stunts you
could pull at a time like this. That's what they're after.
Why do they hate law enforcement so much? Why do
(02:46):
they hate Americans so much? It's a great question because
Americans are all for what's happening right now. If you
look at the polling, the latest would indicate Americans support
Donald Trump and the President and his his latest moves
to make America safe again. Taking these masks off these
(03:07):
individuals and telling law enforcement folks they can't wear them,
will expose their identities and moves comes as a tax.
Now are happening on Ice Agency next skyrocketing up seven
hundred percent. Thousands of criminal aliens are being deported every day.
Critics say that bill puts law enforcement in danger, and
I agree, especially during a time I think these escalated
(03:28):
threats number mass layoffs set to begin not at your job,
but at the Department of Ed. Supreme Court ruling as
today the President Trump has the authority of fire employees
at the department, and of course they expect about fourteen
fifteen hundred or so are on their way out the door,
(03:51):
at least that is. The decision comes as a Trump
says he pushes to overhaul the agency, which he's long
criticized as being bloated and in effect. Supporters say that
ruling restores accountabilities cricket ORRNT. It could politicize education. Could
It's already happened. That's why this is taking place, last,
(04:12):
but not least here in Michigan, Benson brad they broke
the law. The most lawless secretary of state involved in
this shocker, I just so which clutch my pearls too
hard here? But yes, it turns out the most lawless
secretary of state, SHOUSLYN. Benson, was involved in a bit
(04:36):
of another. But this is another issue. This took place,
was it yesterday? The day before? Michigan's Bureau of Elections
Director Jonathan Brader admitted under oath that of December first,
twenty twenty, Wait a minute, not the twenty twenty election. Again,
I thought there was nothing wrong. I thought they told
(04:58):
us breathlessly at endless amounts that it was nothing to
see here in the twenty twenty election. HM Braid's admitted
under oath that a December one, twenty twenty directive instructing
local clerks to delete twenty twenty election poll book flash
(05:19):
drive data by the seventh calendar day following the final
canvas and certification of the election was unlawful. Rader made
the admission during a probable cause hearing in court as
part of the case against former Adams Township clerk Stephanie Scott.
That's ongoing as we speak. And the in election news today,
(05:42):
Pat Kolbeck, our good friend, former senator here in Michigan
is testifying. I believe in the house is where this
is all going down as we speak. Nine am is
set to be the beginning of the testimony, and so
the latest sit in the fire works that come out
of it this morning, you'll get it on the way,
(06:03):
don't go anywhere. Wow, look at that? Can you imagine?
Can you imagine? Oh? I. Meanwhile, let's get this, let's
get this show started today. We'll give you a chance,
toway in, are you surprised by any of these stories?
We still got to talk about CPI and more.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Called Justin now at six one, six seven seven four
twenty four at six one, six seven seven twenty four
twenty four West Michigan Live with Justin Barclay on News
Radio Wood thirteen hundred and one oh six nine alf.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Anue Consumer Price in dex story. There's a lot more
still to that. We got to make sure that we
get you the specifics on it. Now. Big question is
it time to fire Jerome palell fed share, Can Trump
do that? Will he walk? And uh? And really will
we get these interest rates lower to where they'd like
(06:57):
to see? Things really get moving in the right direction.
That is, it's all kind of top of the conversation,
especially with the economically with the crowd this one. We
had tech talk segment coming up as well, and there
was some monkey and with the numbers. I've got to
explain that to you. So hang in there. But this
(07:19):
is all jam packed, trying to just fit it all,
you know, ten pounds of stuff into a five pound
sec sort of fitting. And that's what we're dealing with today.
So people in charge in charge of the elections caught
breaking the law? What do you do? It's happened over
and over and over again, yet there seems to be
no accountability for Jocelyn Benson, who now says she wants
(07:43):
to oversee her own election. She's broken the law subsequently
in these others and now she says, trust me, I'll
take care of my election for governor. Oh I'm fair.
Oh I'm absolutely gonna make sure that you you don't
have to worry about a thing. I got it taken
(08:03):
care of. She wants to become a governor, and she
wants that power so badly. I don't really know if
there's anything she wouldn't do to seize it. Now, she
is much worse in a scheme of things than even
a Gretchen Whitmor the Wolverine Queen was really more of
a pragmatist. She was someone who was really more practical.
(08:25):
She was all about climbing the ladder, you know, to
the next rung. And yet you can still see if
she's walking around making her TikTok videos, flying off to
all these different countries, trying to make it appear like
she's got some sort of foreign policy initiatives underway, when
really it's all about campaign trying to get geared up
(08:47):
for that run in twenty twenty eight for the president,
and Democrats' chances right now aren't great anyway. So this is,
you know, this is something that she may you never know,
she may have a shot, at at least she thinks
she does. J Justcen Benzon is much worse. Yes, she
(09:08):
likes the power, she'll love being governor, But really what
drives for his ideology not so much with Benson. What
I mean by ideology, look at the history. Look at
what she did before she ended up where she is today.
Look who funded her campaigns, Look what organizations she worked for.
I could send that she is a communist. She is
(09:30):
someone that is all in on all this George Soros nonsense,
and of course would be a tool of those people.
She would be much much worse than than Gretchen Whitmer has.
And look at the current state of this state. We
got all kinds of business manufacturing flowing into the country,
(09:52):
new investment, and meanwhile you've got all of the places
and pieces and parts of businesses that could have landed
in Michigan falling around us being a falling you get
the old guard, right, some of the old establishments selling
out and closing down. You just started Kellogg's last week,
(10:15):
and now we're getting the latest story just this week
about how Howard Miller and the clocks. This is just
sadn sees, particularly in West Michigan. So why would we
put more of these people, double down on those field policies,
put these people back into power again in twenty twenty eight.
(10:37):
Well maybe you wouldn't, but that's what Jocelyn Benson is
working to do behind the scenes. Make sure that your
voice doesn't matter. Why how do we know? Because she's
done it before a judge, multiple judges has ruled that
she's broken the law over and over again. And this week,
Michigan's on Jonathan brad that's Jocelyn Benson's hand picked director
(11:01):
of elections, has admitted under oath that a directive sent
to clerks statewide back in twenty twenty. Remember, I mean
you you do remember twenty twenty and I know it's
five years ago, but this was a critical moment in history.
Many people questioned the election. They were simultaneously told that
you can't immediately, you can't ask any questions about this election.
(11:25):
It was fair, it was, it was true, it was
it was wonderful. It was the best election that ever election.
Now again it also elected Joe Biden at record numbers,
even bigger than Obama. So if you believe there wasn't
any issue, I think maybe you've got the real disconnection
from reality. What was the directive that Rater got from
(11:47):
Benson to delete poll book flash drive data? You know,
the kind of data that helps trek who voted and win? Now,
why would that be important? Did we ever need that?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
That?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Would we ever want to hold on to it. Not
only did they try to sweep the data under the rug,
they issued a written order telling clerks to do so.
Quote Deleite by the seventh day, they said, folks, this
isn't just some clerical error. This is destruction of public records.
(12:21):
It's plain and simple. It flies in a face of
Michigan election law. On federal law too, says you've got
to keep those records on hand for twenty two months
after election. Why would you want to do that just
to make sure you could go back and check your work.
Do you remember in school so you weren't caught cheating
on your homework or test. A teacher might ask you,
(12:45):
all right, let's show your work. How did you get
to this conclusion? Now, if they got to do it
in school, these folks should have to do it when
they're running things as important as elections twenty two months,
not a week twenty two months. If you were I
(13:10):
delated government documents, especially anything tied to an election, if
Trump did it, we'd all be in handcuffs. But when
the Michigan Elections Bureau does it, crickets. Where's the accountability?
Where's the outrage? From the meeting? You know, the same
people that told us we were crazy to question anything.
(13:32):
I mean, real people you would know, whose names you
would recognize at big organizations. The fingers started pointing and
flying at me in ways that I'd never seen before.
In twenty twenty, same people used to come on this program,
people who used to be friends or maybe even partners
in some ways. There's reasons why you don't hear them anymore,
(13:54):
and there's reasons why there's been a disconnection. Well, I
and many others like me, we've all been ostracized for
asking those questions when we saw things that didn't line up,
we saw things that didn't add up, and now this
guy has admitted it under oath. So I'm gonna ask you,
where's the investigation into Johnson Benson's office. When is Dana
(14:18):
Nessel going to dig in and start doing some wheelwork.
Who knew what and when? Now this isn't even about
going back and relitigating the twenty twenty election, but it
is ensuring that we know the answers, and it's really
(14:40):
about ensuring that we still have a country, a republic
where elections are still free and fair and transparents, or
at least at the very least there's an appearance of such.
There is he never been an appearance of any impropriety.
I said that over and over over again in twenty
(15:01):
twenty and again. What a wild year for saying there
should never even be an appearance of impropriety. Of course,
we were the crazy ones for saying, I don't know,
I think maybe you ought to be able to make
your own medical decisions. We were the crazy ones. Well, time,
(15:22):
they say, will tell, and it certainly has. And here
we stand today again, folks, with this latest news. The
question is what were we going to do about it?
What is going to be done if we don't hold
these people accountable? Now, what happens in twenty twenty six.
Twenty twenty four election was the most important election for
our country, and I believe twenty six will be for
(15:44):
this state. Now is the time. I know many of
you in this news may make some of you feel
weary and saying I just I'm not nothing's gonna happen.
I've completely unplugged from this, and I would tell you
dealt because that's exactly what they want. If you don't
stand up now, if you don't demand the truth, if
(16:04):
you don't continue to stay in the game, we lose
the ability to demand anything at all later, let alone
the truth. So that's why it is important now more
than ever. And speaking of the truth, I got more
coming up this morning. The truth on these CPI numbers,
the latest inflation. You're gonna want to hear that. Don't
(16:25):
go anywhere because you're not hearing it. Well, there's well,
there's truth, logic, common sense, and then context at play,
and you need all of it. The data don't lie,
they said, Well, the data, it can be manipulated and
(16:48):
you right along with it. So folks, don't go anywhere.
The latest stories. We'll get down to the bottom of
them coming up after this, but first from the Midwest
and the Midwestern or dot News. We'll get our updates
after this. If you're able, please stand for our national.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Here are your headlines from the Midwestern or this Tuesday,
July fifteenth, th I'm Robin Hoffman. It's a Midwesterner. Dot
News original story. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel wants to
shut down one of the nation's most unique bald eagle
habitats here in our state and replace it with eagle
killing wind turbines. There are almost three dozen wind power
(18:36):
facilities operating here in Michigan, and they account for less
than eight percent of our state's total electricity output. In
other news, Michigan Democrat Senator Alissa Slotkin with a new
bill that exposes the identity of federal immigration agents by
proposing a ban on masks. Slockin's bill comes as a
tax on ice agents up a whopping seven hundred percent.
(19:00):
Criminal illegal aliens are being deported by the thousands on
a daily basis. And in news for your Health this morning,
the Trump administration announcing the ice cream industry will be

Speaker 4 (19:33):
These stories and more. Visit the Midwesterner at the Midwesterner
Dot News.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Got a little testimony happening right now from a Pat Collback,
former Michigan state senator inside the oversight hearing. What evidence
do you have Pat Alman asking question right now, Red
Pat album.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
I've submitted a complete complaint out to the Attorney Grievance
Commission and also Judicial Tenure Commission with the evidence in
my possession. I Attorney Grievance Commission denied that I had
to go to appeal to Michigan Supreme Court. It's now
before federal authorities. And the basic evidence is Joscelyn Benson
formed the Michigan Legacy Pack. She's the one who controls
(20:20):
the allocation of funds in that pack. And one of
the court cases that I cited, one of the seven
court case you know court decisions, involved a case called
O'Halloran v. Benson. And in that o'hallar and v. Bentson case,
the plaintiff one in the Court of claims plain f
won three zero, as I stated earlier in the Court
(20:40):
of Appeals, and Joscelyn Benson promptly appealed that to the
Michigan Supreme Court afterwards, while that case was before the
Michigan Supreme Court, which Justice Bolden serves on the Michigan
Supreme Court, she was appointed by Governor Whitmer to serve
on it. Her first election was coming up in the
election cycle. While that case was sitting before the court,
(21:06):
Jocelyn Benson's Michigan Legacy Pack issued an eighty two five
dollars donation to the Committee to re Elect or to
elect Justice Kyra Bolden and then Justice Kyra Bolden a
couple months later, wrote the majority opinion in favor of
Bolden in favor of Benson, overturning what had previously been
unanimous decisions against her. So I can't get into the
(21:31):
men's ray on this. I don't know whether or not
she had the intent of being a bribe or not.
I don't have access to those communications. All I have
is FOIA access, and so I called for an investigation
by the Attorney Grievance Commission that has additional authority and
Judicial Tenure Commission and now federal authorities to go and
dig into that and understand whether or not there is
actual intent in support of those facts.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Just some of the testimony happening right now in Lansing
live as we speak. Maybe we'll have Patrick KAHNBLT later
this week to get into the the nitty gritty on it.
Excuse me and get you the full details, uh, and
the latest on some of these big news stories. Of
course the one later uh we had about right earlier
this this show, and of course ah tho, all of
(22:16):
this stuff matters because again, it's not gonna see You're
not gonna hear that on the nightly news tonight. You're
not gonna hear any of his testimony tonight on the
night You gotta you gotta wonder about that. That's a
good question. Why why is that? Be back uh be
back to that. But first let's do some tech talk tack.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Into the latest in tech and how it affects you
and your world. This is tech Talk Tuesday on Wood
Radios West Michigan Live.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Our good friend Trick, can it be standing by with
the latest affordable, affordable eyetorelig Michikan Drive and stand down
ground or for Tech Always at Pleasure and uh AI
at the forefront of our conversation. Today we're gonna get
into AI and the military at the Pentagon, AI in
the classroom, and AI in your kids' hands. Parents, you gotta,
I want you to be engaged on this because this
(23:08):
is something that is so important that you may not
understand yet. Like guarantee your kids they're gonna get taught
about this they're gonna get introduced, could be in just
a matter of weeks in the classroom, and I need
you to understand what's happening, even even right now. Trent, welcome.
I appreciate you taking the time to be here with
us today.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
Yeah, good morning, Justin.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Let's start with the Pentagon story. This is kind of interesting.
Groc who is the AI for ex Elon Musk. And
you'll hear more about Grock here in just a moment.
But Groc had an interesting, interesting moment last week, and
I guess that's putting it lightly. And just after that
(23:49):
moment last week where things seem to go a little bit,
hey whire, we get this story today that Groc will
be used by the Pentagon at some point. They're going
to bring this technology, and now I don't know exactly
what it will be used for. We don't necessarily have
that story, but Groc will be introduced at some point,
(24:13):
and the Pentagon just announced.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
AI chat BOC Grock is coming to Tesla vehicles by
next week, just days after the bought unleashed an anti
semitic rant on his social media platform X Yeah. So
that announcement comes hours after Musk unveiled the latest iteration
of the chatbot, called KROC four. All right, so Musk says,
the new version is quote the smartest AI in the world.
(24:40):
So I want to bring in Sarah Fryar tech.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
So first and foremost, there's a lot to unpack here.
What do we what's going to happen at the Pentagon?
Do we know?
Speaker 6 (24:53):
Yeah, justin good morning. Yes, this is unprecedented because this
is the first time that this is publicly available. And
just to make it clear, this is not just the Pentagon.
This is being released from the General Services Administration, So
that means any government entity, any government agency, will have
acts to the access to this again through some subscription,
(25:17):
through some additional costs, or some sign up, but it's
available to any government agency if it's from the General
Services Administration, so I, r S, FBI, CIA, or any
other you know, Drain Commission, whatever you name it. If
it's a federal agency, it has access to the system.
So as far as the Pentagon goes, just an AI
(25:37):
is the ultimate tool to gather information, to gather intelligence.
AI can can scour the internet, can can read scan
data better than any other system available. So this is
unpreceded territory because it really blurs the line for US
citizens between what is legal uh non warranted UH tracking
(26:04):
or monitoring or information gathering. And then where does court
ordered information gathering come from?
Speaker 2 (26:11):
UH.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
In the past, if you wanted wire tapping or other things,
you had to get a court order, and there's a
legal process for that. Now with AI, it can gather
this information so easily that it really blurs the traditional
line of where is the right of privacy? Where where
does that government uh court ordered information come from? Uh,
(26:34):
it's just completely unknown territory because this is such a
powerful tool.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Let me stop you try. It's not just Depentagon. The
IRS wants to use this too. They want to do
audits with this technology, and that might that might be
a good way to do it. I don't know if
I want an AI accountant working for me, uh, maybe
a human checking everything that the AI did. But essentially
(26:59):
this is this is where they're headed, and I don't
know if there's anything to stop them.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
Yeah, justin I don't know if there is anything to
stop it. And it's like I said, it's so easy
for AI. I mean already, if you're selling stuff on eBay,
the IRS has a statement that you have to file
from your EBA sales. I mean, what's next, Facebook, Marketplace, Craigslist,
your garage sale. You know, that's where AI has the
ability to give them that information. And every time the
(27:25):
government had some easy way to compile that information to
use it to tax you, they've done that. So I
don't know, maybe the Trump administration will handle this differently,
but they're sure not slow to release this technology on
the government agencies.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
All Right, So what happened last week when it came
to AI and Grock kind of going off the rails
a little bit. It sounds like there was there were
all kinds of interesting things that were posted online last week,
anti Semitic comments, et cetera, that got posted up there,
and it just crazy, sort of like it was a
(28:04):
crash out the kids call it these days, but it
will a meltdown of epic proportions of the AI.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Yeah, So justin so, there's a lot of news about this,
but really what happened is is people were chatting with
GROC and they were chatting about, you know, events that
happened like the Texas flooding, things that were very emotional,
catastrophic things that were a large people were saying comments
online about it of who caused this or how this happened,
and they asked Roc these questions, and this is something
(28:33):
that the boundaries of guardrails from recent updates have been lowered,
and so GROC was basically being very candid and saying
things without any heart, without any feeling, without any emotion,
that were very offensive, that were very wrong. And it's
because it's not a human. It's trying to participate in
political discussions, very emotional discussions, and it just has no
(28:56):
ability to do that. It's very poor at that, and
so people are very upset and I'm glad that some
of these things come out because we have to remember
that even if AI is polished, it still has major
issues when dealing with politics. We're dealing with evil people
like Hitler. It doesn't fully understand the scope of that,
and there's a hard time interacting with people that way,
(29:19):
and that is that is something to be aware of
because when AI is used elsewhere and it's relied upon
for things that are personal that are political, we need
that human perspective. Computers cannot process that.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Wait till AI starts making decisions on who who lives
and who dies. I mean, I can guarantee, like places
like Canada where they're already starting to set up the
youth in Asia and some of those other things, that
they'll they'll use this. Hey, I know that stuns dom
and gloom and that's sort of like science fiction and whatnot.
But this right here is not. They are bringing AI
(29:57):
into the classrooms and your kids are going to get
a hold of it. They haven't already done so shortly
and maybe just in a matter of weeks. In fact,
it'll be in schools. The kids may have already been
using it themselves if it wasn't formally introduced to them,
and that comes with a whole other list of questions
(30:17):
and concerns from parents.
Speaker 6 (30:19):
It sounds like, yeah, just the University of California proved
AI to be used for all their students, paid for
the subscription over a half a million dollars. And that's
at a college level obviously, So it's not that teachers
are afraid of it or colleges aren't afraid of it,
where they sort of should be because people are using
this to cheat on stuff, but they're actually encouraging and
(30:42):
providing the use for us and in lower grades This
is something that Microsoft and others are working together to
get this into the classroom set and get this technology
available to students. And again, just getting it available to
the students is one step. The next step is where
it's actually you. So there are incredible good uses of
this AI where a virtual teacher can help somebody who's
(31:04):
a special need student who struggles with learning. It can
quickly figure out what the best way to teach a
young person some some basic math. I mean, I think
that's a good use of it, you know, social studies,
you know, things like that. That's where it could get
off the rails. But there's certain math and sciences at
algebra and geometry that some students have a hard time
grasping in their minds, and AI can quickly kind of
(31:26):
figure out which way is the best way to teach that,
what way that they can learn efficiently and make it
fun and interesting. And so there's some good uses for
AI in that respect.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Trent, can there be affordableized or Lake Michigan Drive and
stand there? What about kids turning to AI for friendship?
This is the latest story that if you're a parent,
you know you're watching your kids go on social media,
you think of one thing I got to be concerned
about is what they might see on the internet there,
but what about who they're talking to? And I'm not
talking about strangers. I'm talking about AI. We've already seen
(31:58):
some really questionable things. A guy in sixty Minutes the
other day they had a show where he's having a
relationship with an AI chat bot that's essentially set up
as a character for him as a girlfriend. And I
just can't imagine the emotional damage or stunting that it
(32:18):
might do to the development of kids, if if they've
developed so much of a relationship. I've asked questions even
just as like Siria on my phone, and my daughter
who's four, thought that was so cool that at times
she say, let's ask the robot this, or let's ask
the robot that, And I go, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, Now,
(32:42):
we're not doing that anymore. The robot's sleeping, honey, he's
taking a nap. But this has got to be I
think concerning to a lot of parents here and then
and maybe just sudden they don't even know what's coming yet.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
Yeah, justin this is the thing with AI. There's a
lot of good tools with it that we talked about
with teaching are certain things, but when it comes to
the relationship side, when it comes to the personal side,
AI is not a human being. Human beings are designed
and meant to be there for each other, to help
each other, and that's something that AI can't do. It's
(33:17):
also too, the scariest part about AIS. It's constantly changing
and evolving. So if there's a model that's your quote
unquote friend, and then the AI changes in, your friend
changes and that's because of whoever is programming and writing
the I, because of political reasons, and now your friend changes.
It's just it's a strange thing. So I think the
key is just you talked about your kids and it's
(33:38):
talking to the robot. I think that's the key. Justice.
As long as we can instill into our children that
it is a robot, it is not a human being,
maybe that will help with some of those common sense
guardrails to say, hey, we need relationships with real people
that have meaning and value in lifelong relationships versus a
robot that's ever changing, ever evolving and not a real thing.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Yeah, I can't imagine what that ends up being like
at some point. AI. By the way, the one story
of the day that I thought might be kind of interesting.
AI and a sixties inspired band. People didn't know, but
they were kind of I guess they were sort of
fooled by it. The Velvet Sundown is the name of
(34:22):
the group. The Velvet Sundown confirmed Saturday. It's viral success
powered by artificial intelligence. Now, I have yet to hear
a song trent that from AI that I've I've heard several,
but nothing that I've heard yet that that is to me. Obviously, AI,
(34:42):
you know that it's okay, this is this is clear,
this is this is not you know, this is not man.
You know this is not somebody wasn't behind this. There's
no soul in it. And as a matter of fact,
I'll pull a clip up and maybe we can play
some of it later. But I just thought this was interesting.
This is just another example of what they're doing with
(35:04):
AI and what could be on the way.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
Yeah, justin if you look at the progression of this
over the last years, I mean a couple of years ago,
the songs were so awful that you could you could
clearly tell. Now obviously they're getting to a point where
it is hard to tell unless you understand music and
have a good ear for it. It's going to come
to a point where you you won't have an ear
for it because it's going to be so good. But
on the other hand, like you said that, that hard
(35:29):
and soul of music of what it communicates ais to
replace that, and it's also going to hurt a lot
of artistic expression short term until people people realize that
and that genre gets separated out.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
I think there was going to be an AI genre
on Spotify.
Speaker 6 (35:47):
At some point.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
This is the velvet sundown. Dust on the wind, I
can hear like a bit of Stairway to Heaven in there. Wow,
that's interesting. Dust all on the wind, on the ground,
(36:14):
smoking sky, no peace found? Is Is this a AI? Woke?
Is this a woke man too?
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Rivers run red?
Speaker 2 (36:24):
The drums were also.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Tell me, brother, where.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
Do we go?
Speaker 2 (36:31):
If I just heard that, I probably wouldn't be able
to tell you it was AI. That's that scary stuff. Trent,
Thank you as always Trent and Ebby Affordable Ice Storm
Lake Basic a driver Insteaddale and Uh and I always
uh as always a pleasure Grand River Tech as well.
Thank you my friend.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
Thanks Justin, have a great day you too.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
God bless well. I can't imagine hey, taking a look
at the markets this morning. We down eighty five. It's
kind of dancing around. It doesn't really know necessarily what
to do. The s and ps up because of the video.
Speaker 6 (37:08):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
And they're calling it an inline inflation report on CNBC,
which I think probably describes it a little bit better
than anything else. Talent. Well, folks, you can sleep well
at night no matter what the Marcus do. Our good
friends Mike Lester and the team at Talinwealth want to
