And rapids.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
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, that's six one six
seven seven four four twenty four. It's West Michigan Live
with Justin Barklay on Wood Radio Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yeah, good morning, folks.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
What a day it is Veterans Day, of course, fully
honoring them throughout the program and all throughout the day
right here of course on Wood Radio. I appreciate you
being here with us today, and of course if that's you,
stand by for the latest. And yes, we've got news
and that's some big stories. In fact, there's one that's
(00:43):
broken here locally and statewide that I think is going
to be an even bigger conversation throughout the.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
It looks like anyway throughout this next year.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
News, weather, and traffic. I'm big his stories of the day.
We are talking about what matters most in West Michigan
and beyond. This is the big three now say speak three.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I'm talking about illegal aliens truck drivers on the road.
Been hearing about them getting these CDLs a commercial driver's
license out of places like COMMI Fournia Gavin Newsom apparently
been allowing that as well, soa scretch and whitmer, and
apparently Joscelyn Bentson, our Secretary of State. According to some
(01:32):
of the latest news you won't want to miss, we
have that story coming up this morning. Don't go anywhere first.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Let's get into it.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Our big string powered by our good friends at Heartlet
home mortgage, fifty year mortgage. Have you been hearing the
latest on this story? Trum wants a fifty year mortgage.
There's kind of some back and forth on this. Dave
Gatawayo join us in a coming days to discuss it.
He'll get in to Wyatt may or may not be
a good thing. Whyatt may or may not help home
(02:05):
values and first time home buyers. You know they do
this in Japan, which is kind of interesting. I've been
I've been trying to get up to speed on it
here in recent days. This kind of interesting story. Never
never considered fifty years on a mortgage. It would lower
your rate and I think your payment pretty significantly. In
(02:26):
the coming days, we'll have conversations about it right here.
J andshim linding dot com. If you want to ask
day of anything, you can now the shutdown breakthrough and
the Senate took place last night. They got that vote
done and yes they are moving it forward sixty to forty.
The Senate voted late last night to advance a bipartison
build to end the forty day government shutdown. Deal funds
(02:49):
federal operations through January thirty.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Thing will start this mess all over again.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
And by the way, some great commentary from Scott Dick Durbin,
a Democrat who basically throws the entire party under the bus.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
We'll get to that come out.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
In just a bit this morning as well, as I
mentioned another illegal truck driver busted, this time from Michigan
with a CDL he never should have had. Justin's Benson's
secretary of State apparently handing these out like candy on Halloween.
It's it's wild to me because again, this is a
(03:28):
story that is pomping up all over the country. And
you know, with the motor voter stuff, you know, these
these folks automatically registered to vote. I'm sure he wasn't.
Wink wink, nudge nudge. The man named Akhmed from Mauritania
entered the US illegal illegally arrested Indian Indiana last month
(03:50):
while holding a Michigan commercials driver's license. You know, that's
where they've been doing a lot of the crackdown and
places like Indiana. Ice has been all over it vent
in Stank quiet, though her office hasn't explained how someone
without lawful status navigated that licensing process. We're interesting conversation
(04:10):
and one will continue to have airlines required to cut
another six percent today when it comes to what we're
watching on the uh, the folks getting the flights out,
we'll have details about.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Those stories and more.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
And one conversation that I I knew it was just
a matter of time before this came out because you know,
one of the problems they're having right now with the
flights are those pesky air traffic controllers. You got to
have people could AI handle the job? Well, you know
that's the latest. That's of course, that's I gotta talk
(04:49):
about this, the back and forth on that. Our good
friend Trent Community joins US Affordable I Starret Lake Misch
can drive it stand out today on a tech Talk
Tuesday coming up right here on West Michigan Live. In
the meantime, join the program, Love to hear you on
the talk back, just hit that that little microphone button
(05:11):
next to the play button and let it rip. Thanks
to MKD.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Call Justin now at six one six seven seven four
twenty four twenty four. That's six one six seven seven
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 3 (05:30):
All right, like I said, let's get into it. I
want to get into this story because it's a big one.
And like I said, I've got some great audio to
play for you too today. But this story of this
man busted akmed so many questions about what actually happened here.
But again, Benson's office staying very sealed liped on it,
(05:53):
kind of mom on the deal, doesn't want to really
talk about it.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I don't know. I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I don't know why anyone want you to know about this.
There are people on the roads right next to you
that shouldn't be here. They're here illegally, and they're operating
big rigs. That's never a good look, especially with all
the accidents and the problems of things that we've seen
throughout the last few months. Florida California, Michigan was doing
it too, apparently, according to the story The Midwesterner Hazard
(06:21):
of minwesternor dot News, Secretary of State Johnson Benz Joscelyn
Benzon silent. This the same Justlyn Benson who's been ruled
number of times by judges broke the law, particularly in
the twenty twenty election that time where she said, oh, no,
largest amount of absentee, largest amount of mail in ballots
(06:41):
of all time. We broke every rule she did in
the book, and of course allowed all this to, you know,
because of COVID.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
At the same time, which is kind of interesting, we
have Gretchen Whittner out there saying today that she was
she was missing informed on COVID. They just wasn't given
good information on COVID. Oh oh, is that it? So
it's not your fault, it's uh somebody else, somebody else's fault.
(07:15):
Here again finally admit this is this is an interesting
story in itself. But Benson out there again she told
those those those local clerks, you don't have to inspect
the balance signatures on the stuff that's coming through the mail.
Don't worry because you know it's a it's such an
(07:36):
unprecedented time. You remember that word unprecedented. Oh, everything was
unprecedented without precedent, you know what I mean. They broke
the rules because this wasn't the norm, never supposed to happen.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
And yet now you know why they did unprecedented times.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
So, uh, isn't it interesting during other such unprecedented times,
she'd be out there allowing folks illegally in the country
to have commercial driver's license to build barreling down the
roads that God knows what kind of breakneck speeds, some
of them not even knowing how to read signs or
speak English, and they're next to you and your family
(08:22):
on the road, God forbid. And and honestly, who knows
because in this situation and in this case, uh, it's.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
No wonder more people haven't been heard or killed in
these things. And gosh, I just.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Don't I don't even want to. I don't even want
to think about it. I know you don't either, but
I don't even want to. It's just a fact of
the matter. And the only way we're finding out is
that ice is busting these people in places like Indiana
where the governor where the state is actually working with
President Trump and the federal authorities to get this done.
(09:03):
The man Akman from Mauritania entered the US last year,
was released by the Biden administration, arrested in Indiana last month,
despite holding a Michigan commercial driver's license, according to an
ex post that by the US Department of Homeland Security.
What do they say again, as I mentioned, this guy
(09:26):
never should have been here. He is now being held
in a processing center. I would I think this is
in Texas. Yeah, Conrod Texas pending immigration proceedings. But you
know again this story, he came in illegally through San Diego.
(09:53):
Remember when they were trying to tell us that, you know,
it's all it's only just people from Mexico. And we
saw all the video of these people coming through. Guess
what could these That guy's from middle They're all they're
all sort of young, sort of fighting age males. Didn't
we didn't we make that point and then we said, what,
this one's from China and this one's from you know,
(10:15):
we they would interview them and they would find out
these guys and I'm not just guessing based upon.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Looks or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
No, No, I know you that's your next that's the
next thing that folks and all I want to jump to,
that's not the case. They asked him. Reporters were out there. Now,
they weren't from MSDNC, so some of them maybe never
heard this story, but they would interview them coming through.
And this guy came through in San Diego September fifteenth,
(10:43):
twenty twenty three, later released by the Biden administration. At
time of his arrest, he possessed a Michigan issued commercials
driver's license employed by Zane Express. That's a trucking company
based in wait for it, Dearborn and the Midwesterner says
(11:07):
they've contacted the Michigan Secretary of State Jostle Bench and
don't hold your breath.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
You will not last long. They haven't heard anything back.
She has yet to respond to requests for comment.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Benson's office faced repeated scrutiny over legal administrative missteps. In
May twenty twenty five, Attorney General Dana Nessel found she
violated the Michigan Campaign Finance Act by holding a campaign
press conference inside his state office build.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
That's the least of them things that she's been up.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I just all of this is starting to make sense
to you, doesn't add up now are you starting to compute?
And these are stories that again, you're not gonna hear
anywhere else. She's the same one that doesn't want to
send any of this qualified voter data or anything else
over to the FED. She doesn't want them to take
a look at, doesn't want it anybody seeing what she's
(12:02):
been cooking up, because apparently she's been cooking the books
on all of it. Folks, imagine that I'll pray for
the folks that are doing the hard work, the good work,
(12:22):
the decent work of keeping us safe on the roads,
and pray for everyone that.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Is on the roads today.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Anyway, more coming up, folks, don't cony where we got
stories that you will not, like I said, will not
hear anywhere else. Scott Jennings on seeing in back at
it again with one of the greatest explanations of the
government shutdown, what it really proves, and why it matters.
It's all coming up after this on West Muskia. But
first join us on this Veteran's Day if you can,
(12:56):
and please stand for the national end.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Here are your headlines from the Midwesterner this Tuesday, November eleventh,
Veterans Day. I'm Robin Hoffman. Turns out Jocelyn Benson's husband
is vice president of a company forcing that massive data
center on Selene Township and other news. President Trump pardons
Michigan's twenty twenty alternate electors as part of a large
(14:33):
group of pardons he issues. Sixteen Republicans targeted and prosecuted
by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel received pardons. Also on
this list, America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Michigan Secretary of
State Jocelyn Benson issued a CDL license to an illegal
alien that's been arrested in Indiana. Benson's silent on how
(14:55):
an illegal alien could navigate her department's screening process. For
these stories and more, visit The Midwesterner at The Midwesterner
Dot New Diet.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
You guys hing, I'm back on the air.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Power on this show today and every day for the
Good Feet Store. They're good friends there making it happen.
Adding comfort to your every day such as foot pain.
It's just being comfortable in those shoes. If you're on
your feet all day and you're gonna jump, well, they can
help you. Now, we can't promise comfort to everyone listening
(15:29):
to this program because because you know, some of our
job here is to make people uncomfortable. Truth logic and
common sense sometimes does that. But what we can promise
you is that, boy, oh boy, you'll see a difference.
I did immediately when I walked into the Good Feet
Store twenty eighth Street, right there in front of costco
(15:50):
or in Westnage or on West and Portage there in
front of Cole's. They'll help you if you walk in
and say, I want to see what all of this
is about. And the best part is your dress, shoes,
your slippers, you know even through the summer, you know,
putting those Good Feet personalized arts supports in your uh
(16:11):
in your what crocs? Dare I say, your flip flops,
your sandals, et cetera. Yeah, it can help you each
and every day. And like I said, you can wear
them in all these different forms of footwear at the
Good Feet.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Store, But go on and see for your stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
They don't just take my word for it, and I,
by the way, I advise you to do that on
everything we talk about. Don't just take my word for it.
You know there's there's you could go do your own research.
I love to be able to share things with you,
and of course some of the things that I get
to share with you you may not even believe for you.
(16:46):
In fact, I got one of those things. I'll be
putting it up here and just a little bit sharing
with you. Before the show's out, I saw something online
that I couldn't believe for I just almost didn't think
it was real. I'll fill you in after our tech
talk segment our good friends can maybe caught up. But first,
Scott the here he was talking about what happened with
the government show and the truth behind it all.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
I say one thing this has exposed though, the complete
and total failure of Obamacare. I mean, it's not affordable. No,
you know, people that have it, it don't feel like
it even is real insurance. And now we see I
mean it's a mess. And if anytime the government's having
to subsidize something like this, it's not working in the
first place. And so I think the American people are
(17:28):
realizing just how messed up the American healthcare system is
and the regime under which we live is Obamacare. But look,
I think a lot of Republicans do not want people
to see skyrocketing premiums.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
And so we'll see what that debate looks.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
This whole thing has exposed this outlandish money laundering scheme
where your tax dollars go right into insurance companies and
your health insurance never gets better, your health care never
gets better, your health outcomes never get better.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
That's what we have exposed here.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
So what our responsibility is as a Republican party, how
do we stop getting your tax money to insurance companies
and how do we put more actual money into the
health care of the American people? Because I can assure
you writing a bunch of checks to insurance companies didn't
make your health care any better.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
It's broke. The whole thing is.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
And if you've if you've dealt with it at all,
you understand that anytime. Thankfully, we've been pretty healthy throughout
the last years here in our family, but you know,
there are a lot of people that have to deal
with us on a daily basis, and they see how
bad it is, and they see how nutty the numbers are.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
And yes, I do think some of this fight will
and has.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Exposed it, but it's also exposed quite a bit more
by the way Scott is coming to Grand Rep. Scott
Jennings coming to Grand Rapids to something with the Kent
County GOP. I get the details on that and Philly end.
So maybe we can even get Scott to come on
the air and share a little bit about what it's
like sitting there in the hot seat. It's CNN and
(18:55):
lighten everybody up. That's that's always fun. At least seems
like it's got to be a heck of a job.
All Right, we're back with more folks coming up in minutes.
Don't go anywhere affordable Eze Store, Trent Knnby and the
food good folks there. Grand River Tech will dive deep
into it. Will ai be powering the air traffic control
(19:16):
in the future. That story is airports continue to see
issues with delays and cancelations today coming up.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Wow, wow, Wow.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
It is a veteran's day and there are all kinds
of great places where you can go and get goodies
today if you're a veteran. We have a list of
those I'll put up on the stack a little bit
later on. And it's something I've got to share whether
you want to see. That'll be up on a stack
later too. I didn't believe it when I first saw it,
but I've got to make sure that I share it
with you. It is. It's one of the wildest things
(19:55):
I've seen, and it happened right here in Michigan. Let
me just put it that way. You may not be surprised,
but I kind of was. I didn't think it was
real when I saw it. But again, we'll get into
that coming up in just moments too. But thanking all
the veterans for your courage today as we were reminded,
another big day of celebrations for us to honor those
(20:20):
who deserve it probably the most, and we've gotten away
from that but in previous years. But I feel like
I feel like a little bit of that's back. They're
doing at my kids at the school today. They're doing
they were doing a whole thing. They got you know,
everybody's dressed up in red, white and blue. They got
flags planted outside, all kinds of good stuff. I thought, man,
(20:41):
that is so cool to see that actually making it.
It's a bit of a it's kind of like a comeback.
I like that. Speaking of comebacks, Well, he only took
a week off, not a fool. I mean he was
on last week, but I mean it's been a week
since we've seen. I guess it's probably the best way
to say, make sure I clarify this. People don't think
(21:04):
we give Trent any time off or anything around here,
But our good friend Trent Kennebbi joins us back now
for a little tech Talk segment tack into.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
The latest in tech and how it affects you and
your world. This is Tech Talk Tuesday on Wood Radios
West Michigan Live.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
All right, so we got lots of subjects to discuss.
Trent with affordableized store like Michigan Drive and stand down
Grand River Tech and some of those big subjects again
around AI, but security at the Louver during that big heist,
and security for you too in your privacy. We're going
to get into all of these stories and more, but
(21:41):
I guess the first one we'll really start with. As
we are seeing the effects of the shutdown Trent, and
even though they're voting, they're trying to get things back
on tracks in and again reporting a shutdown still causing
issues with air travel. It'll stake a they say, take
a long time to get back to normal. Part of
this is because they are understaffed, and part of it
(22:04):
is people, I think an excuse that we're gonna start
hearing more about is is it time to use a
little bit more advanced technology? And some of these people,
I think, are going to push for the use of
artificial intelligence in air traffic control and some of these
(22:25):
other technologies. Now I and I feel about that, and
I know there's a lot of other folks that're probably
a little more skeptical as well. One of them are
retired airline pilot. In this story from Business Insider that
Trent shared with me, I thought was interesting. Trent, welcome,
I appreciate you being here with us today.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Good morning. Justin.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
So let's start with the airticulation. Oh, they could be
able to do AI on air traffic control. I mean
eventually they just be like a guy, one guy sitting
up there in the tower, you know, a case of
emergency or whatever, but just watching the watching the blips
on the screen, and AI take care of it all.
This this kind of sounds a little spooky to me.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Justin it is and it isn't.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
So you think about airplanes, I mean already airplanes fly
with massive amounts of computer controlled which you could say,
is AI to make the plane fly smooth. They can
layer themselves, They can take off. That's significantly more complex
than having airplanes coming in. Even at two airplanes a minute,
I think is kind of like the Max Airport, some
of these large ones in DC and Chicago. You gotta
(23:30):
remember that's two planes a minute. That's two things to
track on. I mean, obviously all the other planes that
are farther out. But this is significantly less logic than
it is to take off an airplane or land airplane,
where it's doing thousands and thousands of calculations a second
tracking different parameters. So I do think AI can help
in control towers. I think it can be used as
(23:52):
a tool to help track things to help feel safe.
I don't believe we should ever take out people out
of the towers, just like out of the airplanes.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
That's not a good thing.
Speaker 7 (24:02):
But I certainly think it could be a redundant systems
to help help them tools to help them make their
job much easier and much safer.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
You know, I can see a push right now, and
it's not just this but the use of AI and
what will it take to get us there. But we're
also seeing some of these and I don't know, I
got that tenfoil hat out again. I think to myself,
I wonder if they don't want more accidents or issues
to pop up for have an excuse, because it's going
to be a tough sale.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
But evenge automated big rigs on the road.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
And I don't know about you, but I don't want
a computer drive and a bit semi truck down the road.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I don't want that happening.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
But we've got illegals driving now with CDLs given out
by people like Joscelyn Benson, a Secretary of State here
in Michigan, and because we've seen an increase in those accidents,
and of course it's hard to get people good people
to drive, you know, you have all of those things
included on top of that, it does it brings safety
and that risk to mine. So it now becomes sort
(25:07):
of an easy opportunity to push for these kind of things.
AI in the skies and AI on the road.
Speaker 7 (25:14):
Justin I think there's some drivers out there that even
thirty year old technology could drive better. So I have
to disagree with it a little bit. There's time so
where I wish there was an AI driving a car.
But on the other hand, it's just it is, it's unsettling.
We got to get used to it as people or
we don't have to get used to it. If people
want to drive, if truck driving companies want to have
a driver on the road and it's safe.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
I don't think we need to mandate any of this stuff.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
I think it needs to happen naturally over time based
on real life technology. And if it's a safe, proven technology,
just we already use it for all sorts of things.
Like I said, landing an airplane, there's not much more complex.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Scenario than that.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
So if it can do that, I don't see why
you can't drive a truck. But yes, we need to
believe that it's safe. And I don't think AI.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
Is coming up later this morning on West Michigan's Morning
News that is trustworthy.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Yet who who is a response to this plane falls
out of the sky and it was AI or who's responsible?
And maybe you don't have the answer this a legal question,
but who's responsible when one of those AI trucks or
automated driverless trucks crashes on the road.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Who gets the bill for that? That's the question.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
That's a difficult one justin because there's insurance companies ultimately
will probably you have some coverages for that and the
insurance realm.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
And the rest will kind of get lost in the details.
Speaker 7 (26:34):
But anything AI justin does have ability to have extensive logging,
physical logging of data to say what did the sensor say,
what did the computer do?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
What did the system do?
Speaker 7 (26:46):
In most cases that logging is extensive and is available.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
To study after the fact.
Speaker 7 (26:52):
So as long as that logging is maintained and there's
a public right to that, I think that can go
a long ways to hold the these AI systems accountable.
If not, if we don't have access to specific logging,
there's no way to hold it accountable.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
And that's a very scary territory.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Oh man, hey, you're not kidding, Trent. And the other
thing that I'm scared about too is that I just
have a feeling if they're going to allow the automated
trucks on the road, I think eventually they're going to say,
if the trucks are going to be automated and computers
are driving, then uh, we don't want to let you
do that. In other words, you can't we can't put
(27:28):
humans on the road because humans humans are capable of air,
and our computers just are and so that's the problem.
We're going to have to take humans off the road.
And I don't know, maybe I've watched too many of
these sci fi movies. I think that's probably the direction
we're headed in. But man, oh man, I am not
excited about that, and I'll tell you why. Here's another example.
(27:51):
Humans a technology can go kind of a rye. This
is funny, but you know, remember the big heist at
the Louver that that big are museum in Paris, France
and Gaye Perry. Apparently the password they've just discovered for
the Louvers video surveillance system's louver.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You can't make this up.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
And I know you laugh at this because you're probably
warning the same with people every day that are dealing
with passwords.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Yeah, justin this is classic password one on one.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
Don't put your business name, the last you know four
numbers of your phone number as your phone pass go.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Don't do this stuff.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
The bad guys will will check those things first. They
always do. And a staggering number of major hacks, maybe
it's over fifty percent, happened simply because of insecured passwords
or stupid basic mistakes that people make relating to security.
Where security can't work if you're going to put a
bad password on there.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, it's what's the best way to do it?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I mean, I've got tricks that I use, but what
that's the best way for folks trying to keep track
of their passwords or even create them.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
So justin a password manager. Apple has built in ones.
There's other third parties that work great, like dash Lane's
one of them. They will create the password for you,
the hard passwords, they will save the password for you,
and they will manage that all for you.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
They'll also do two factor passwords.
Speaker 7 (29:20):
Is critical to get a password manager that does two
factor because old school password managers that are just passwords
aren't going to work for it. You've got to have
two factor codes and pass keys in your password manager.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
All right.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
One last story that we thought would be good to
share with you. Facebook is spying on you. Well you
kind of already knew that, but this is another confirmation
of it. Here's a guy that's done a video that's
shared a little bit.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
Starting December sixteenth, Meta will start reading your dms, every conversation,
every photo, every voice message fed into AI and used
for profit.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
So here's how to stop it.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Now.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
The guy goes into detail and I'll put this up
on the stack today. In fact, it's got to we
have a Justin Barclay dot com here in just moments.
But Trent walk us through what this is, why it's having.
They want to use all your personal information to train
their AI, and that again sounds very scary to me.
But there are ways to opt out of this stuff.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Yeah, justin.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
One of the reasons why don't use social media is
just we have to be conscientious to this. Beyond social
media texting, for example, those things are basically if they're
not already crawlable by government level things, they will be
in time to come by private level monitoring and feeding
into date AI. AI needs data justin it needs current data.
(30:44):
It's basically used everything that's publicly available, and it needs
more data.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
It needs constant data.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
So direct message on Facebook is a massive amount of data.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
That every day people have used for years.
Speaker 7 (30:58):
And if people keep using it a constant new source
of data. It needs that data to be accurate and
to increase its effectiveness. But on the other hand, obviously
that data and that information is all being available for
it to use and see. So if there's some evidence
of crime in there or something that it thinks is nefarious.
You better believe the government law enforcement agencies have access
(31:22):
to that, and we'll be making a rest based off that.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
With all the doom and gloom tech stories that we've
had today, here's one that's kind of feel good or hey,
at least there's a good good side of this. That's
what technology. The truth is, technology is good and bad.
It's in the hands of how you use it. Robodoc
surgeon performs first remote controlled stroke operation from across the
Atlantic and break through for remote surgery. We were just
(31:48):
having issues with lagging getting the video set up and
running the day, Trent, this is the last place you
want it is in surgery.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Any sort of lagging your connection as you but what
a miracle. That's kind of crazy.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
It is justin because we can have doctors who are
skilled from around the world perform these surgeries, these critical
procedures that are very limited to the number of people
that can do them.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
The location. All they need is and I say all
they need is still hard.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
They have to have good power, good data connection, but
they can have robotic surgery done remotely. This is a
great use of technology. We need to use technology much
more in this fashion versus the big data side.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
So again this is a robot doing the surgery, but
it's being controlled by a human, an actual surgeon across
the Atlantic, which is wil to even consider. But wow,
when you talk about some of the good things that
are possible, that's well you have to at least mention
mention that one, right, good friend trick can it be?
(32:49):
Always a pleasure my friend?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Thank you again.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Affordable Lizestore, Lake, Michigan, Drivedale Drive in Standdale, and of
course the Grand River Tech. He's got issues if you
need well. Trend has issues of his own, but we
won't talk about those. Jenny's got help for your issues,
whether they're personal at Affordable Life Store or Grand River
Tech where if you want to get your organization, your church,
(33:14):
your school, factory, whatever it is set up, he can
up with security connections and all kinds of even video security,
all of it.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
And we thank him as always always a pleasure, my friend.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Thanks justin, have a great day, Hey you.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Too, God bless Yeah, we've got more in fact on
a way of video that you're not going to believe
it happened here in Michigan. I've got to share this

Here are your headlines from The Midwesterner this Tuesday, November eleventh,
Veterans Day. I'm Robin Hoffman. Topping the news this hour.
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson issued a CDL license
to an illegal alien who's been arrested in Indiana. Benson
silent on how an illegal could navigate her department's screening process.
(35:13):
In other news relating to Benson, turns out her husband
as vice president of a company that is forcing that
massive data center on Selene Township. Additional details on that
story at the Midwesterner dot news. And it's a development
Conservatives have long been waiting for President Trump pardoning Michigan's
twenty twenty alternate electors as part of a large group
(35:34):
of pardons he issues, sixteen Republicans targeted and prosecuted by
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel receiving pardons. Also on the
list America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani. For these stories and more,

And the numbers on the markets this morning, how are
we looking s and P five hundred slides with tech
shares under pressure, get a little bit of red there,
but green from the Dow. It's sort of a mixed
(36:12):

before it's too late.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Folks.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
This is a story that I almost didn't believe it
when I saw it.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
This can't be real. Maybe this is AI.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
I don't know, maybe I'm getting but folks at Twitch,
he said this is real and in fact memory TV
E M E M E M R I TV. They
do a lot of work and they actually capture this
kind of thing. This is out of dearborn Muslim is
sort of extremist, your mom preach. I don't know what
(37:19):
you'd call this. Guy says that Americans are backwards. But
the reason is wild.
Speaker 8 (37:24):
All this advancement in technology, yet they still haven't figured
out that when you go to the bathroom, they're still
wiping themselves with paper. All this advancement, think about how
advanced they become.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
They're trying to go to Mars. They're trying to take
over Saturn. They're trying to do all this stuff.
Speaker 8 (37:42):
Their cars are trying to be self driven.
Speaker 9 (37:45):
Yet when they go to do the most lowest form
of human nature, the call of nature, they are still
wiping themselves and cleaning themselves with paper.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Now, two things I noticed about this shitty By the way,
just put it up the stack itself at justin barklay
dot com. You can go watch this shit. You see
the whole video. I'm gonna share more of the after
show coming up. But he is out there and preaching
to a group that looks like young boys. I don't
know if this is like the youth group for the
(38:21):
for this MOSC or what, but it it's wildly I
almost didn't believe it.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
But he said and by the way, he's got even
more on this.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
He said, Americans are backwards because we use toilet paper.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
I I don't.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
I don't know how to deal with I just it's
it's one of those things.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
I like this. This can't be real. It is.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
We'll share more of it on the after show. Yes,
don't go Anywhere, Glenn back program coming up next, and
of course we're back tomorrow. Thank you veterans for your
ultimate courage, your bravery, and we're honoring you today
Speaker 1 (38:59):
For at all
And rapids.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
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, that's six one six
seven seven four four twenty four. It's West Michigan Live
with Justin Barklay on Wood Radio Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yeah, good morning, folks.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
What a day it is Veterans Day, of course, fully
honoring them throughout the program and all throughout the day
right here of course on Wood Radio. I appreciate you
being here with us today, and of course if that's you,
stand by for the latest. And yes, we've got news
and that's some big stories. In fact, there's one that's
(00:43):
broken here locally and statewide that I think is going
to be an even bigger conversation throughout the.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
It looks like anyway throughout this next year.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
News, weather, and traffic. I'm big his stories of the day.
We are talking about what matters most in West Michigan
and beyond. This is the big three now say speak three.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I'm talking about illegal aliens truck drivers on the road.
Been hearing about them getting these CDLs a commercial driver's
license out of places like COMMI Fournia Gavin Newsom apparently
been allowing that as well, soa scretch and whitmer, and
apparently Joscelyn Bentson, our Secretary of State. According to some
(01:32):
of the latest news you won't want to miss, we
have that story coming up this morning. Don't go anywhere first.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Let's get into it.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Our big string powered by our good friends at Heartlet
home mortgage, fifty year mortgage. Have you been hearing the
latest on this story? Trum wants a fifty year mortgage.
There's kind of some back and forth on this. Dave
Gatawayo join us in a coming days to discuss it.
He'll get in to Wyatt may or may not be
a good thing. Whyatt may or may not help home
(02:05):
values and first time home buyers. You know they do
this in Japan, which is kind of interesting. I've been
I've been trying to get up to speed on it
here in recent days. This kind of interesting story. Never
never considered fifty years on a mortgage. It would lower
your rate and I think your payment pretty significantly. In
(02:26):
the coming days, we'll have conversations about it right here.
J andshim linding dot com. If you want to ask
day of anything, you can now the shutdown breakthrough and
the Senate took place last night. They got that vote
done and yes they are moving it forward sixty to forty.
The Senate voted late last night to advance a bipartison
build to end the forty day government shutdown. Deal funds
(02:49):
federal operations through January thirty.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Thing will start this mess all over again.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
And by the way, some great commentary from Scott Dick Durbin,
a Democrat who basically throws the entire party under the bus.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
We'll get to that come out.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
In just a bit this morning as well, as I
mentioned another illegal truck driver busted, this time from Michigan
with a CDL he never should have had. Justin's Benson's
secretary of State apparently handing these out like candy on Halloween.
It's it's wild to me because again, this is a
(03:28):
story that is pomping up all over the country. And
you know, with the motor voter stuff, you know, these
these folks automatically registered to vote. I'm sure he wasn't.
Wink wink, nudge nudge. The man named Akhmed from Mauritania
entered the US illegal illegally arrested Indian Indiana last month
(03:50):
while holding a Michigan commercials driver's license. You know, that's
where they've been doing a lot of the crackdown and
places like Indiana. Ice has been all over it vent
in Stank quiet, though her office hasn't explained how someone
without lawful status navigated that licensing process. We're interesting conversation
(04:10):
and one will continue to have airlines required to cut
another six percent today when it comes to what we're
watching on the uh, the folks getting the flights out,
we'll have details about.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Those stories and more.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
And one conversation that I I knew it was just
a matter of time before this came out because you know,
one of the problems they're having right now with the
flights are those pesky air traffic controllers. You got to
have people could AI handle the job? Well, you know
that's the latest. That's of course, that's I gotta talk
(04:49):
about this, the back and forth on that. Our good
friend Trent Community joins US Affordable I Starret Lake Misch
can drive it stand out today on a tech Talk
Tuesday coming up right here on West Michigan Live. In
the meantime, join the program, Love to hear you on
the talk back, just hit that that little microphone button
(05:11):
next to the play button and let it rip. Thanks
to MKD.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Call Justin now at six one six seven seven four
twenty four twenty four. That's six one six seven seven
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 3 (05:30):
All right, like I said, let's get into it. I
want to get into this story because it's a big one.
And like I said, I've got some great audio to
play for you too today. But this story of this
man busted akmed so many questions about what actually happened here.
But again, Benson's office staying very sealed liped on it,
(05:53):
kind of mom on the deal, doesn't want to really
talk about it.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I don't know. I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I don't know why anyone want you to know about this.
There are people on the roads right next to you
that shouldn't be here. They're here illegally, and they're operating
big rigs. That's never a good look, especially with all
the accidents and the problems of things that we've seen
throughout the last few months. Florida California, Michigan was doing
it too, apparently, according to the story The Midwesterner Hazard
(06:21):
of minwesternor dot News, Secretary of State Johnson Benz Joscelyn
Benzon silent. This the same Justlyn Benson who's been ruled
number of times by judges broke the law, particularly in
the twenty twenty election that time where she said, oh, no,
largest amount of absentee, largest amount of mail in ballots
(06:41):
of all time. We broke every rule she did in
the book, and of course allowed all this to, you know,
because of COVID.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
At the same time, which is kind of interesting, we
have Gretchen Whittner out there saying today that she was
she was missing informed on COVID. They just wasn't given
good information on COVID. Oh oh, is that it? So
it's not your fault, it's uh somebody else, somebody else's fault.
(07:15):
Here again finally admit this is this is an interesting
story in itself. But Benson out there again she told
those those those local clerks, you don't have to inspect
the balance signatures on the stuff that's coming through the mail.
Don't worry because you know it's a it's such an
(07:36):
unprecedented time. You remember that word unprecedented. Oh, everything was
unprecedented without precedent, you know what I mean. They broke
the rules because this wasn't the norm, never supposed to happen.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
And yet now you know why they did unprecedented times.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
So, uh, isn't it interesting during other such unprecedented times,
she'd be out there allowing folks illegally in the country
to have commercial driver's license to build barreling down the
roads that God knows what kind of breakneck speeds, some
of them not even knowing how to read signs or
speak English, and they're next to you and your family
(08:22):
on the road, God forbid. And and honestly, who knows
because in this situation and in this case, uh, it's.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
No wonder more people haven't been heard or killed in
these things. And gosh, I just.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Don't I don't even want to. I don't even want
to think about it. I know you don't either, but
I don't even want to. It's just a fact of
the matter. And the only way we're finding out is
that ice is busting these people in places like Indiana
where the governor where the state is actually working with
President Trump and the federal authorities to get this done.
(09:03):
The man Akman from Mauritania entered the US last year,
was released by the Biden administration, arrested in Indiana last month,
despite holding a Michigan commercial driver's license, according to an
ex post that by the US Department of Homeland Security.
What do they say again, as I mentioned, this guy
(09:26):
never should have been here. He is now being held
in a processing center. I would I think this is
in Texas. Yeah, Conrod Texas pending immigration proceedings. But you
know again this story, he came in illegally through San Diego.
(09:53):
Remember when they were trying to tell us that, you know,
it's all it's only just people from Mexico. And we
saw all the video of these people coming through. Guess
what could these That guy's from middle They're all they're
all sort of young, sort of fighting age males. Didn't
we didn't we make that point and then we said, what,
this one's from China and this one's from you know,
(10:15):
we they would interview them and they would find out
these guys and I'm not just guessing based upon.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Looks or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
No, No, I know you that's your next that's the
next thing that folks and all I want to jump to,
that's not the case. They asked him. Reporters were out there. Now,
they weren't from MSDNC, so some of them maybe never
heard this story, but they would interview them coming through.
And this guy came through in San Diego September fifteenth,
(10:43):
twenty twenty three, later released by the Biden administration. At
time of his arrest, he possessed a Michigan issued commercials
driver's license employed by Zane Express. That's a trucking company
based in wait for it, Dearborn and the Midwesterner says
(11:07):
they've contacted the Michigan Secretary of State Jostle Bench and
don't hold your breath.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
You will not last long. They haven't heard anything back.
She has yet to respond to requests for comment.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Benson's office faced repeated scrutiny over legal administrative missteps. In
May twenty twenty five, Attorney General Dana Nessel found she
violated the Michigan Campaign Finance Act by holding a campaign
press conference inside his state office build.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
That's the least of them things that she's been up.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I just all of this is starting to make sense
to you, doesn't add up now are you starting to compute?
And these are stories that again, you're not gonna hear
anywhere else. She's the same one that doesn't want to
send any of this qualified voter data or anything else
over to the FED. She doesn't want them to take
a look at, doesn't want it anybody seeing what she's
(12:02):
been cooking up, because apparently she's been cooking the books
on all of it. Folks, imagine that I'll pray for
the folks that are doing the hard work, the good work,
(12:22):
the decent work of keeping us safe on the roads,
and pray for everyone that.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Is on the roads today.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Anyway, more coming up, folks, don't cony where we got
stories that you will not, like I said, will not
hear anywhere else. Scott Jennings on seeing in back at
it again with one of the greatest explanations of the
government shutdown, what it really proves, and why it matters.
It's all coming up after this on West Muskia. But
first join us on this Veteran's Day if you can,
(12:56):
and please stand for the national end.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Here are your headlines from the Midwesterner this Tuesday, November eleventh,
Veterans Day. I'm Robin Hoffman. Turns out Jocelyn Benson's husband
is vice president of a company forcing that massive data
center on Selene Township and other news. President Trump pardons
Michigan's twenty twenty alternate electors as part of a large
(14:33):
group of pardons he issues. Sixteen Republicans targeted and prosecuted
by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel received pardons. Also on
this list, America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Michigan Secretary of
State Jocelyn Benson issued a CDL license to an illegal
alien that's been arrested in Indiana. Benson's silent on how
(14:55):
an illegal alien could navigate her department's screening process. For
these stories and more, visit The Midwesterner at The Midwesterner
Dot New Diet.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
You guys hing, I'm back on the air.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Power on this show today and every day for the
Good Feet Store. They're good friends there making it happen.
Adding comfort to your every day such as foot pain.
It's just being comfortable in those shoes. If you're on
your feet all day and you're gonna jump, well, they can
help you. Now, we can't promise comfort to everyone listening
(15:29):
to this program because because you know, some of our
job here is to make people uncomfortable. Truth logic and
common sense sometimes does that. But what we can promise
you is that, boy, oh boy, you'll see a difference.
I did immediately when I walked into the Good Feet
Store twenty eighth Street, right there in front of costco
(15:50):
or in Westnage or on West and Portage there in
front of Cole's. They'll help you if you walk in
and say, I want to see what all of this
is about. And the best part is your dress, shoes,
your slippers, you know even through the summer, you know,
putting those Good Feet personalized arts supports in your uh
(16:11):
in your what crocs? Dare I say, your flip flops,
your sandals, et cetera. Yeah, it can help you each
and every day. And like I said, you can wear
them in all these different forms of footwear at the
Good Feet.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Store, But go on and see for your stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
They don't just take my word for it, and I,
by the way, I advise you to do that on
everything we talk about. Don't just take my word for it.
You know there's there's you could go do your own research.
I love to be able to share things with you,
and of course some of the things that I get
to share with you you may not even believe for you.
(16:46):
In fact, I got one of those things. I'll be
putting it up here and just a little bit sharing
with you. Before the show's out, I saw something online
that I couldn't believe for I just almost didn't think
it was real. I'll fill you in after our tech
talk segment our good friends can maybe caught up. But first,
Scott the here he was talking about what happened with
the government show and the truth behind it all.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
I say one thing this has exposed though, the complete
and total failure of Obamacare. I mean, it's not affordable. No,
you know, people that have it, it don't feel like
it even is real insurance. And now we see I
mean it's a mess. And if anytime the government's having
to subsidize something like this, it's not working in the
first place. And so I think the American people are
(17:28):
realizing just how messed up the American healthcare system is
and the regime under which we live is Obamacare. But look,
I think a lot of Republicans do not want people
to see skyrocketing premiums.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
And so we'll see what that debate looks.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
This whole thing has exposed this outlandish money laundering scheme
where your tax dollars go right into insurance companies and
your health insurance never gets better, your health care never
gets better, your health outcomes never get better.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
That's what we have exposed here.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
So what our responsibility is as a Republican party, how
do we stop getting your tax money to insurance companies
and how do we put more actual money into the
health care of the American people? Because I can assure
you writing a bunch of checks to insurance companies didn't
make your health care any better.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
It's broke. The whole thing is.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
And if you've if you've dealt with it at all,
you understand that anytime. Thankfully, we've been pretty healthy throughout
the last years here in our family, but you know,
there are a lot of people that have to deal
with us on a daily basis, and they see how
bad it is, and they see how nutty the numbers are.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
And yes, I do think some of this fight will
and has.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Exposed it, but it's also exposed quite a bit more
by the way Scott is coming to Grand Rep. Scott
Jennings coming to Grand Rapids to something with the Kent
County GOP. I get the details on that and Philly end.
So maybe we can even get Scott to come on
the air and share a little bit about what it's
like sitting there in the hot seat. It's CNN and
(18:55):
lighten everybody up. That's that's always fun. At least seems
like it's got to be a heck of a job.
All Right, we're back with more folks coming up in minutes.
Don't go anywhere affordable Eze Store, Trent Knnby and the
food good folks there. Grand River Tech will dive deep
into it. Will ai be powering the air traffic control
(19:16):
in the future. That story is airports continue to see
issues with delays and cancelations today coming up.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Wow, wow, Wow.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
It is a veteran's day and there are all kinds
of great places where you can go and get goodies
today if you're a veteran. We have a list of
those I'll put up on the stack a little bit
later on. And it's something I've got to share whether
you want to see. That'll be up on a stack
later too. I didn't believe it when I first saw it,
but I've got to make sure that I share it
with you. It is. It's one of the wildest things
(19:55):
I've seen, and it happened right here in Michigan. Let
me just put it that way. You may not be surprised,
but I kind of was. I didn't think it was
real when I saw it. But again, we'll get into
that coming up in just moments too. But thanking all
the veterans for your courage today as we were reminded,
another big day of celebrations for us to honor those
(20:20):
who deserve it probably the most, and we've gotten away
from that but in previous years. But I feel like
I feel like a little bit of that's back. They're
doing at my kids at the school today. They're doing
they were doing a whole thing. They got you know,
everybody's dressed up in red, white and blue. They got
flags planted outside, all kinds of good stuff. I thought, man,
(20:41):
that is so cool to see that actually making it.
It's a bit of a it's kind of like a comeback.
I like that. Speaking of comebacks, Well, he only took
a week off, not a fool. I mean he was
on last week, but I mean it's been a week
since we've seen. I guess it's probably the best way
to say, make sure I clarify this. People don't think
(21:04):
we give Trent any time off or anything around here,
But our good friend Trent Kennebbi joins us back now
for a little tech Talk segment tack into.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
The latest in tech and how it affects you and
your world. This is Tech Talk Tuesday on Wood Radios
West Michigan Live.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
All right, so we got lots of subjects to discuss.
Trent with affordableized store like Michigan Drive and stand down
Grand River Tech and some of those big subjects again
around AI, but security at the Louver during that big heist,
and security for you too in your privacy. We're going
to get into all of these stories and more, but
(21:41):
I guess the first one we'll really start with. As
we are seeing the effects of the shutdown Trent, and
even though they're voting, they're trying to get things back
on tracks in and again reporting a shutdown still causing
issues with air travel. It'll stake a they say, take
a long time to get back to normal. Part of
this is because they are understaffed, and part of it
(22:04):
is people, I think an excuse that we're gonna start
hearing more about is is it time to use a
little bit more advanced technology? And some of these people,
I think, are going to push for the use of
artificial intelligence in air traffic control and some of these
(22:25):
other technologies. Now I and I feel about that, and
I know there's a lot of other folks that're probably
a little more skeptical as well. One of them are
retired airline pilot. In this story from Business Insider that
Trent shared with me, I thought was interesting. Trent, welcome,
I appreciate you being here with us today.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Good morning. Justin.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
So let's start with the airticulation. Oh, they could be
able to do AI on air traffic control. I mean
eventually they just be like a guy, one guy sitting
up there in the tower, you know, a case of
emergency or whatever, but just watching the watching the blips
on the screen, and AI take care of it all.
This this kind of sounds a little spooky to me.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Justin it is and it isn't.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
So you think about airplanes, I mean already airplanes fly
with massive amounts of computer controlled which you could say,
is AI to make the plane fly smooth. They can
layer themselves, They can take off. That's significantly more complex
than having airplanes coming in. Even at two airplanes a minute,
I think is kind of like the Max Airport, some
of these large ones in DC and Chicago. You gotta
(23:30):
remember that's two planes a minute. That's two things to
track on. I mean, obviously all the other planes that
are farther out. But this is significantly less logic than
it is to take off an airplane or land airplane,
where it's doing thousands and thousands of calculations a second
tracking different parameters. So I do think AI can help
in control towers. I think it can be used as
(23:52):
a tool to help track things to help feel safe.
I don't believe we should ever take out people out
of the towers, just like out of the airplanes.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
That's not a good thing.
Speaker 7 (24:02):
But I certainly think it could be a redundant systems
to help help them tools to help them make their
job much easier and much safer.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
You know, I can see a push right now, and
it's not just this but the use of AI and
what will it take to get us there. But we're
also seeing some of these and I don't know, I
got that tenfoil hat out again. I think to myself,
I wonder if they don't want more accidents or issues
to pop up for have an excuse, because it's going
to be a tough sale.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
But evenge automated big rigs on the road.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
And I don't know about you, but I don't want
a computer drive and a bit semi truck down the road.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I don't want that happening.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
But we've got illegals driving now with CDLs given out
by people like Joscelyn Benson, a Secretary of State here
in Michigan, and because we've seen an increase in those accidents,
and of course it's hard to get people good people
to drive, you know, you have all of those things
included on top of that, it does it brings safety
and that risk to mine. So it now becomes sort
(25:07):
of an easy opportunity to push for these kind of things.
AI in the skies and AI on the road.
Speaker 7 (25:14):
Justin I think there's some drivers out there that even
thirty year old technology could drive better. So I have
to disagree with it a little bit. There's time so
where I wish there was an AI driving a car.
But on the other hand, it's just it is, it's unsettling.
We got to get used to it as people or
we don't have to get used to it. If people
want to drive, if truck driving companies want to have
a driver on the road and it's safe.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
I don't think we need to mandate any of this stuff.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
I think it needs to happen naturally over time based
on real life technology. And if it's a safe, proven technology,
just we already use it for all sorts of things.
Like I said, landing an airplane, there's not much more complex.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Scenario than that.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
So if it can do that, I don't see why
you can't drive a truck. But yes, we need to
believe that it's safe. And I don't think AI.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
Is coming up later this morning on West Michigan's Morning
News that is trustworthy.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Yet who who is a response to this plane falls
out of the sky and it was AI or who's responsible?
And maybe you don't have the answer this a legal question,
but who's responsible when one of those AI trucks or
automated driverless trucks crashes on the road.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Who gets the bill for that? That's the question.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
That's a difficult one justin because there's insurance companies ultimately
will probably you have some coverages for that and the
insurance realm.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
And the rest will kind of get lost in the details.
Speaker 7 (26:34):
But anything AI justin does have ability to have extensive logging,
physical logging of data to say what did the sensor say,
what did the computer do?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
What did the system do?
Speaker 7 (26:46):
In most cases that logging is extensive and is available.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
To study after the fact.
Speaker 7 (26:52):
So as long as that logging is maintained and there's
a public right to that, I think that can go
a long ways to hold the these AI systems accountable.
If not, if we don't have access to specific logging,
there's no way to hold it accountable.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
And that's a very scary territory.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Oh man, hey, you're not kidding, Trent. And the other
thing that I'm scared about too is that I just
have a feeling if they're going to allow the automated
trucks on the road, I think eventually they're going to say,
if the trucks are going to be automated and computers
are driving, then uh, we don't want to let you
do that. In other words, you can't we can't put
(27:28):
humans on the road because humans humans are capable of air,
and our computers just are and so that's the problem.
We're going to have to take humans off the road.
And I don't know, maybe I've watched too many of
these sci fi movies. I think that's probably the direction
we're headed in. But man, oh man, I am not
excited about that, and I'll tell you why. Here's another example.
(27:51):
Humans a technology can go kind of a rye. This
is funny, but you know, remember the big heist at
the Louver that that big are museum in Paris, France
and Gaye Perry. Apparently the password they've just discovered for
the Louvers video surveillance system's louver.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You can't make this up.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
And I know you laugh at this because you're probably
warning the same with people every day that are dealing
with passwords.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Yeah, justin this is classic password one on one.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
Don't put your business name, the last you know four
numbers of your phone number as your phone pass go.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Don't do this stuff.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
The bad guys will will check those things first. They
always do. And a staggering number of major hacks, maybe
it's over fifty percent, happened simply because of insecured passwords
or stupid basic mistakes that people make relating to security.
Where security can't work if you're going to put a
bad password on there.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, it's what's the best way to do it?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I mean, I've got tricks that I use, but what
that's the best way for folks trying to keep track
of their passwords or even create them.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
So justin a password manager. Apple has built in ones.
There's other third parties that work great, like dash Lane's
one of them. They will create the password for you,
the hard passwords, they will save the password for you,
and they will manage that all for you.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
They'll also do two factor passwords.
Speaker 7 (29:20):
Is critical to get a password manager that does two
factor because old school password managers that are just passwords
aren't going to work for it. You've got to have
two factor codes and pass keys in your password manager.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
All right.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
One last story that we thought would be good to
share with you. Facebook is spying on you. Well you
kind of already knew that, but this is another confirmation
of it. Here's a guy that's done a video that's
shared a little bit.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
Starting December sixteenth, Meta will start reading your dms, every conversation,
every photo, every voice message fed into AI and used
for profit.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
So here's how to stop it.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Now.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
The guy goes into detail and I'll put this up
on the stack today. In fact, it's got to we
have a Justin Barclay dot com here in just moments.
But Trent walk us through what this is, why it's having.
They want to use all your personal information to train
their AI, and that again sounds very scary to me.
But there are ways to opt out of this stuff.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Yeah, justin.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
One of the reasons why don't use social media is
just we have to be conscientious to this. Beyond social
media texting, for example, those things are basically if they're
not already crawlable by government level things, they will be
in time to come by private level monitoring and feeding
into date AI. AI needs data justin it needs current data.
(30:44):
It's basically used everything that's publicly available, and it needs
more data.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
It needs constant data.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
So direct message on Facebook is a massive amount of data.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
That every day people have used for years.
Speaker 7 (30:58):
And if people keep using it a constant new source
of data. It needs that data to be accurate and
to increase its effectiveness. But on the other hand, obviously
that data and that information is all being available for
it to use and see. So if there's some evidence
of crime in there or something that it thinks is nefarious.
You better believe the government law enforcement agencies have access
(31:22):
to that, and we'll be making a rest based off that.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
With all the doom and gloom tech stories that we've
had today, here's one that's kind of feel good or hey,
at least there's a good good side of this. That's
what technology. The truth is, technology is good and bad.
It's in the hands of how you use it. Robodoc
surgeon performs first remote controlled stroke operation from across the
Atlantic and break through for remote surgery. We were just
(31:48):
having issues with lagging getting the video set up and
running the day, Trent, this is the last place you
want it is in surgery.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Any sort of lagging your connection as you but what
a miracle. That's kind of crazy.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
It is justin because we can have doctors who are
skilled from around the world perform these surgeries, these critical
procedures that are very limited to the number of people
that can do them.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
The location. All they need is and I say all
they need is still hard.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
They have to have good power, good data connection, but
they can have robotic surgery done remotely. This is a
great use of technology. We need to use technology much
more in this fashion versus the big data side.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
So again this is a robot doing the surgery, but
it's being controlled by a human, an actual surgeon across
the Atlantic, which is wil to even consider. But wow,
when you talk about some of the good things that
are possible, that's well you have to at least mention
mention that one, right, good friend trick can it be?
(32:49):
Always a pleasure my friend?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Thank you again.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Affordable Lizestore, Lake, Michigan, Drivedale Drive in Standdale, and of
course the Grand River Tech. He's got issues if you
need well. Trend has issues of his own, but we
won't talk about those. Jenny's got help for your issues,
whether they're personal at Affordable Life Store or Grand River
Tech where if you want to get your organization, your church,
(33:14):
your school, factory, whatever it is set up, he can
up with security connections and all kinds of even video security,
all of it.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
And we thank him as always always a pleasure, my friend.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Thanks justin, have a great day, Hey you.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Too, God bless Yeah, we've got more in fact on
a way of video that you're not going to believe
it happened here in Michigan. I've got to share this
with you next. It almost thought it wasn't real when
I watched it. We'll get to that coming up after
this on West Michigan Live. Hey Grand Rabbits. On Saturday,

Speaker 5 (34:52):
Here are your headlines from The Midwesterner this Tuesday, November eleventh,
Veterans Day. I'm Robin Hoffman. Topping the news this hour.
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson issued a CDL license
to an illegal alien who's been arrested in Indiana. Benson
silent on how an illegal could navigate her department's screening process.
(35:13):
In other news relating to Benson, turns out her husband
as vice president of a company that is forcing that
massive data center on Selene Township. Additional details on that
story at the Midwesterner dot news. And it's a development
Conservatives have long been waiting for President Trump pardoning Michigan's
twenty twenty alternate electors as part of a large group
(35:34):
of pardons he issues, sixteen Republicans targeted and prosecuted by
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel receiving pardons. Also on the
list America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani. For these stories and more,
visit the Midwesterner at the Midwesterner.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Dot Come back in another chance, obviously to join the
program of you on anytime six six, seven, seven, twenty four,
twenty four got a check real quickly if we can.
And the numbers on the markets this morning, how are
we looking s and P five hundred slides with tech
shares under pressure, get a little bit of red there,
but green from the Dow. It's sort of a mixed
(36:12):
bag this morning. And that just illustrates further every time
we tell you about this roller coaster ride that can
be investment for retirement, whether you when retired today, tomorrow,
ten twenty years down a road, make sure you don't
feel nauseous, make sure you feel ready no matter what's
coming your way. The folks that telling wealth can help
you get there. Mike Lester and the team then make

before it's too late.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Folks.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
This is a story that I almost didn't believe it
when I saw it.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
This can't be real. Maybe this is AI.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
I don't know, maybe I'm getting but folks at Twitch,
he said this is real and in fact memory TV
E M E M E M R I TV. They
do a lot of work and they actually capture this
kind of thing. This is out of dearborn Muslim is
sort of extremist, your mom preach. I don't know what
(37:19):
you'd call this. Guy says that Americans are backwards. But
the reason is wild.
Speaker 8 (37:24):
All this advancement in technology, yet they still haven't figured
out that when you go to the bathroom, they're still
wiping themselves with paper. All this advancement, think about how
advanced they become.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
They're trying to go to Mars. They're trying to take
over Saturn. They're trying to do all this stuff.
Speaker 8 (37:42):
Their cars are trying to be self driven.
Speaker 9 (37:45):
Yet when they go to do the most lowest form
of human nature, the call of nature, they are still
wiping themselves and cleaning themselves with paper.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Now, two things I noticed about this shitty By the way,
just put it up the stack itself at justin barklay
dot com. You can go watch this shit. You see
the whole video. I'm gonna share more of the after
show coming up. But he is out there and preaching
to a group that looks like young boys. I don't
know if this is like the youth group for the
(38:21):
for this MOSC or what, but it it's wildly I
almost didn't believe it.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
But he said and by the way, he's got even
Speaker 3 (38:28):
He said, Americans are backwards because we use toilet paper.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
I I don't.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
I don't know how to deal with I just it's
it's one of those things.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
I like this. This can't be real. It is.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
We'll share more of it on the after show. Yes,
don't go Anywhere, Glenn back program coming up next, and
of course we're back tomorrow. Thank you veterans for your
ultimate courage, your bravery, and we're honoring you today
