Speaker 2 (00:22):
All Right, it's ran, It's still warm for now. Don't
fret this stuff will be snowing no time. Well, I'm

Speaker 1 (01:00):
I'm your stories of the day. We are talking about
what matters most in West Michigan and beyond.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
This is the big three.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Now today speak.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Three story is you? Oh, one of us should be
talking about days around a watercot. The dinner table that
maybe around that big bird on Thursday. Yes now were
by our good friends at Heartland Home Mortgage who we're
grateful for it each and every day, powering this program.
Whether you want to buy rey, fly home equity line
of credit. As the rights begin to drop and things
(01:32):
start to shift, you want to get out ahead of it,
have a plan. If you've been thinking about things for
a while, is it time?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Is it time?
Speaker 2 (01:40):
HHM lending dot com they'll fill you in. Dave Gataway
in the team Hall is faster, better than the big
gangs number and arrive here our hometown folks who'll make
it happen. So long Obamacare, Here comes trump Care. The
presidents set to roll out a plan as early as
(02:01):
this week. They're saying, and it could be a big win.
It could be a doozy Obamacare. It's just not working out.
It's sort of collapsing underneath the pressure.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
The plan as as this week to address those rising
healthcare costs, specifically a way to avert the expected spike
in premiums with the looming deadline and expiration of the
Affordable Care Subsidies Act.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
We gotta quiate point fingers we got to start doing
something with this thing. At least Trump's proposal does something
over a two year period and keeps people from losing
their insurance, and it verifies that it's not a bunch
of frauds going on.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
That's Rep. Ten berching out of Tennessee with that news casts. Well,
why is it happening, As you mentioned in that is
you have heart expanding credits Biden put in place up
at the end of the year, premiums are about to
skyrocket for folks. Trump taking some action, and you could
be talking about that on Thursday a number. Unless you're
(03:01):
sago politics at the table, then that's maybe that's a
whole nother story. But the chances are you're not going
to be able to get around this next one. Call
me Leticia James cases to the Justice fer.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Judge has thrown out criminal indictments against two of the
president's political foes, former FBI Director James Comy and New
York Attorney General Leticia James. The judge ruled that President
Trump's hand pit prosecutor on the cases had been unlawfully appointed.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
But I got it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, before we get into all of that, I gotta
break that down for you because this is gonna get appealed.
There are people on the left that are out dancing
in the streets right now. It's it's not over just yet.
And uh, one more story, the Pentagon saying they're going
to investigate. Yeah, so they're gonna get it done. Apparently
(03:54):
captain retired Navy Captain turn US Senator Mark Kelly after
appearing in that video. They may listen to this, they
may recall him. They may recall him. That means bring
him back into service and then court martial him for
(04:14):
the video. What a wild turn of events. Sucks. I
got more on that in a moment too. Hang on,
it's just crazy, because you know we always tell you
it's like drinking from a fire hose. There's not enough
time in this hour, the fastest houring radio to fit
(04:36):
it all in. He's done enough time in a Big
three to fit it in. Because probably one of the
bigger stories of the day I didn't even get a
chance to get through yet, which is they think they
got a deal with Ukraine. A nineteen point plan has
been accepted. We're one step closer. I think Zelenski even
(04:56):
saying this president doesn't sleep. I'm telling called.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Justin Now at six one six seven seven four twenty
four twenty four at six one, six seven seven four
twenty four to twenty four West Michigan Live with Justin
Barclay on News Radio Wood thirteen hundred and one oh
six nine.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
A f M.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I know that news is kind of stuff. That's why
Friday normally you maybe be I don't know, running around
town shopping and bopping, trying to get some of those
Black Friday ideals. Make sure you turn us on. I'll
be filling in for Glenn back nationwide nine to noon
so you can hear us talk about these stories and
get you up to speed. A guarantee they'll be breaking
(05:37):
news while we're probably stuffing ourselves and watching Alliance on Thursday.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
White House is supportive of the Department of Wars investigation
into Senator Mark Kelly, and I think what Senator Mark
Kelly was actually trying to do was intimidate the one
point three million active duty service members who are currently
serving in our United States Armed Forces with that video
that he and his Democratic colleagues UH put out. Senator
(06:01):
Mark Kelly well well knows the rules of the military
and the respect that one must have for the chain
of command and that all lawful, all orders, lawful orders
are presumed to be legal by our service members. You
can't have a functioning military if there is disorder in
chaos within the ranks. And that's what these Democrat members
were encouraging. It's very clear, and not a single one
(06:23):
of them, since they've been pressed by the media, and
I'll give you guys credit for that, can point to
a single illegal order that this administration has given down
because it does not exist. They knew what they were
doing in this video, and Senator Mark Kelly and all
of them should be held accountable for that.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
That that is, that is we talk uh talking about
news and this is going to be a single loser
might the left of gonna loser?
Speaker 8 (06:46):
See?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I told you that Trump was a fascist. See, I
told you the guy you gotta watch him. I told
you this guy he's just up to no good.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
That's that's I guarantee what you So, here's what is happening.
Because the video is made, they essentially are telling people
in the video, hey, you know you can disobey illegal orders.
Now it puts the country at risk. We've talked about
this just to sheer optics of it to countries like Russian.
By the way, Trump's in the middle of trying to
(07:18):
get this piece still done with Ukraine in Russia, so
they think maybe there's a coup going on. Well, of
course there is. There's been a coup going on since
twenty fifteen. So these folks are openly outright telling folks
in the military about it. And by the way, this
is gonna this is like, this is gonna get people killed.
(07:41):
Now you got people that think, well, I can disobey
any order I don't agree with because it's illegal. Well,
it certainly paints that opportunity for them, and then the
Democrats saying we got your back, and then going further
I've seen further in the last days where they say,
you know, Trump's not gonna be in office forever, and
(08:04):
as soon as he's out, you know we're gonna call
We're gonna come after you. So I said, this is
the type of thing you have to nip in the bud.
As a retiree. By the way, what are they doing
and why can they do it? As a retiree. Senator
Kelly remains subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice
(08:26):
and therefore could be recalled to active duty, court martialed,
or face administrative measures. The Administration and the Pentagon describe
the message as undermining military discipline, while Kelly says this
is intimidation of Congress and questions of lawful orders lie
at the heart. But nobody could tell you, by the way,
(08:48):
nobody can tell you what what what orders are they
talking about? In fact, Kelly himself went on MS D
n C thirteen, which I think they're calling MS now
or no, Yeah, that's no. I don't know. Honestly, I
(09:09):
can't keep up with it. But that dude, Rachel Mattow
is still over. There're still mad as ever, and Kelly
himself admits to Mattow the Trump hasn't issued any illegal orders.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
Colleagues made that video.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Were there specific potentially illegal orders that you were thinking
about that were the sort of precipitating cause for you
guys to get together and do that.
Speaker 10 (09:34):
Here's the thing, Rachel, you don't want to wait for
your kid to get hit by a car before you
tell them to look both ways and your car, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
So no, essentially is what he said. By the way,
this whole thing about wait just to start doting, we
gotta warn these military they get it when they go
into basic. They understand. There's not a one of them
that doesn't understand it. Matter of fact, what makes us
worse is these folks being a part of the military,
being retired, being part of that, they should know this
more than anyone else anyway. That is just one one
(10:11):
of the stories. Now Senator Reuben Gego out of Arizona
is out there calling Secretary of Defense or Secretary of
War now Pete Hegsath, who they in fact issued this statement,
the Secretary of the Department of War rather issued this
statement online the other day about this which they're gonna
(10:33):
be looking into it, gonna be taking a look at
whether we should recall him or not. He's going after
as a veteran, as a Senate Democrats Senator on seeing it,
going after the Secretary of.
Speaker 11 (10:45):
War, what would you say directly to Pete Hegsath, the
Secretary of Defense, of course renamed the Secretary of War
about this issue.
Speaker 10 (10:57):
Well, I think number one, you will never ever ever
even be half the man that Senator Kelly is. You, sir,
are a coward.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (11:04):
The fact that you are following this order from the
President shows how big of a coward. You are and
I can't wait to you no longer are the secretary
of defense?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
This this this, this guy is so dumb. This senator
from Arizona, he actually incriminated himself. I don't know if
you saw this, but he incriminated himself. On that same show,
he admitted to everyone that they all got talking points.
(11:38):
By the time the script got to me, he says,
admitting that this whole thing was scripted. The whole thing
was planned, It was carefully choreographed, it was organized, and
there is more happening behind the scenes.
Speaker 11 (11:51):
Did you consider were why were you not part of
this video?
Speaker 10 (11:56):
Yeah? Actually so, I was part of the first video.
The second video is by the time the script got
to me, and it was in the middle.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Of a lot was going on.
Speaker 10 (12:03):
I just didn't have time to actually record. If I'm
one hundred percent onlignement with them, uh.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
The time the script got to me. By the way,
this guy is throwing himself as he incriminates himself, throwing
himself into the risk of being recalled in court martialed
as well. They all are. Now, I don't know that
this is gonna happen. I don't know that that's the answer.
But I'm telling you there needs to be accountability. You
cannot let this lie because this and they know what
(12:29):
they were doing was an effort to undermine the military,
was on an effort mind undermine the entire country and
put us all at risk.
Speaker 9 (12:42):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
And that that just can't stand. Folks that cannot stand.
Speaker 10 (12:49):
Moore.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Coming up, we'll check our headlines and menutes. Plus we
got a Tech Tuesday segment Rarn waiting in the gates
and ready to go. Something big happened on Twitter that
or acts that expose there's lots of fake accounts that
seemed to be American First or America against America First.
A lot of this like Foemen. I'd see it online
(13:11):
a lot and I think to myself, I don't think
that person's real. Seems to be a bot. Well, we've
got some news they're gonna shine on that coming up
here in just a little bit. Plus, the big move
from the White House announced you actually that's been called
the Manhattan Project level Effort, Project Genesis, the Genesis Mission,
and it's all about AI. You'll hear that coming up
(13:33):
at about nine to thirty five this morning on West
Michigan Live. Back right after this, I'll go anywhere.
Speaker 11 (14:42):
S Here are your headlines from The Midwesterner this Tuesday,
(15:03):
November twenty fifth. I'm Robin Hoffman. It's a Midwesterner dot
news original story. Michigan Senator Democrat Alissa Slockin back in
the news admitting that she's actually not aware of any
illegal orders issued by President Trump. Slockin had put out
a bogus video with other Democrats and now she's forced
to tell this to ABC's Martha Radditt's.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Let's talk right now.
Speaker 11 (15:25):
Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders?
To my knowledge, I am.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Not aware of things that are illegal.
Speaker 11 (15:33):
In other news, folks here in Michigan, gearing up for
the Thanksgiving holiday travel getaway, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy with
this message.
Speaker 9 (15:41):
Tomorrow will be the busiest day.
Speaker 12 (15:43):
There'll be fifty two thousand flights tomorrow as Americans board
aircraft fly across the country. Maybe they even go to
sporting events, they're going on vacation, or hopefully they're going
to spend time with their families.
Speaker 11 (15:55):

Midwesterner dot News.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Oh tis the season boy. This weekend was a doozy.
We were all over on my feet for a couple
of big days in a row, all over the place,
and I gotta tell you, normally, you go into a
day like that, you might be thinking, boy, I'll tell you,
just uncomfortable, feeling like I've just been worn out. At
the end of the day, not so anymore, whether you're
(16:21):
on your feet for work or for fun like I was.
We had the Christmas tree lighting and Sparta on Friday
with the fam and the girls absolutely loved it. And
then we had a birthday party for them together at
the place that won't be in with the mouse that
you know how expensive it is, and the pizza and everything,
Oh my gosh. And they want to run around and
play and everything, and you know how that you're chasing
(16:42):
them around and it's well, they're creating memories that are
going to last a lifetime. So here's the secret. How
do you do it and stay comfortable no matter what
it is that you're doing the good feet store, step
into day and see for yourself what a difference they
can make. They made for me throughout the years. I
don't worry about it anymore, having they like feel like,
(17:03):
oh man, I'm really gonna pay for this tomorrow or
even in the moment. At the Good Feed Store, they'll
help you walk through it all into I know, a
new comfortable way of living. So you just cannot you can't,
you just can't. I can't put this enough really to
explain to you that you don't have to mess out
(17:23):
on the things that you used to or put off anymore.
At the Good Feet Store twenty eighth Street, right in
for the Costco and Portage on Westinage in front of Holes.
Go to the Good Feet Store today, tell them I sensia, okay,
let's let's do this because I wanted to walk down
the coming I want you to keep your powder dry.
Lots of people saw this yesterday and thought, oh my goodness,
(17:47):
here we go again. And you know what, there are
a couple of things to be said for this. You know,
you look at what these judges are doing, and by
the way I walk you through why it's wrong and
why it won't stand likely throwing this whole thing out,
and the motive that they used to do it. What
they said that this was good. First, that's a democrat,
(18:09):
radical activist judge. I don't even have to tell you
this anymore. It's like clockwork now. So this judge makes
his move or her move. I don't even remember the
name of the judge. It doesn't matter anymore. There's ten
of them. Trump's gonna parton that turkey the next day
here or so, and then they're gonna have some federal
activist judge come out Bohsburg or the other one and
say no, no, no, it does We can't do that
(18:33):
kind of reverse it. I am parting a turkey. You
know that's what's coming next. That's how ridiculous this is
all gotten.
Speaker 9 (18:42):
I'm grateful that the court ended the case against me,
which was a prosecution based on malevolence and incompetence and
a reflection of what the Department of Justice has become
under Donald Trump, which is heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Oh boy, I can't wait to see that guy behind
bars in an orange jumpsuit. Letisia James done the less
and folks don't listen to don't doubt it. You could play.
It could happen sooner than you think, because this whole
thing it's not gonna stand. It's gonna get appealed. And
I'm gonna tell you that this Supreme courtse is not
gonna let this. They're not gonna let the little, small
little courts make these decisions for the president. And I'll
(19:18):
get into why that matters coming up in just moments.
A little bit later on the program, we do tech
talk coming up next and more after this. Don't go anywhere.
Let's check the markets, opening real quick if we can.
For the latest here on a short week. Epis thanks
(19:41):
Giving week, folks, lots of green on the screen. Wow,
the Dow's up three hundred point NASDAK retreating one day
after the big rally is in video drops That thing
basically runs the Nasdaq. September core wholesale prices rose less
than expected retail sales gain. Bessett says there's a very
(20:02):
good chance Trump names a new fed chair before Christmas.
All of that market news adding to what we're us
seeing play out on the stock market today. So keep
that in mind as we keep an eye on it.
Trinkin Ibby Tech Talk Tuesday on the way. But first
we say thanks to the folks at guarding your nest

tack 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 (21:52):
We've got tech news today and I've got a good
feeling that somebody actually might get a job out of this.
That's right. I think somebody listening today might get a
job out of this Tech Talk segment with our good
friendship Commit Cannemby from Affordable Lifestore on Lake Michigan Drive
and Grand River Tech and standby because at the end
of the segment we're gonna tell you about that Trent
(22:14):
is hiring, so to speak. And I want to make
sure that you understand because this I think would be
a fantastic position for someone. Welcome in Trent.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
How are you come on?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Justin doing great?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
This is another day, another moment here that we see
AI in the headlines again and in the spotlight again.
Fact the administration, amongst all the other interesting things that
are happening. Yesterday we got this press release. The Genesis
mission is that Trump Administration's attempt to build an AI
(22:48):
powered national research engine. It's being pitched as the Manhattan Project.
On the Manhattan Project level sort of project for AI.
The President has ordered a historic war footing mobilization. And
by the way, you know, I kind of agree with
(23:09):
him that whoever gets this down. And by the way,
it's it's whether it's a good or bad your intentions,
just like any other tool. I think that's whether you're
talking about you know, nuclear power or even fire arms,
whatever it is, right like, whatever your intentions might be,
and the person wielding that tool or weapon is really
(23:31):
going to decide how it all plays out. And that's
what he's saying. You don't want China to end up
winning this race. It's the same as it was with
nuclear weapons. And so they put this task force, this
Manhattan Project style thing together, which looks like is going
to be run by the Department of Energy some some
(23:53):
portions of it. That's kind of telling it itself. Trent,
welcome in.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah, good morning, justin. This is crazy to encourage anybody
who has any interest in reading this. If this is
the future, if this is the new arms race, space race,
every race combined into one project, then this is the mandate.
And this lays out what the goals and purposes are
and you can read it. It's fairly long, but It's
actually written pretty simply that the average joke can understand it.
(24:20):
But yeah, it basically combines space race, arms race, AI,
computer technology, medical science, everything you can think of. Trump
is basically saying, hey, we need to put all of
our heads together. All of our resources is for especially
all of our existing there's a keynote through this document,
existing resources, existing databases, existing information that they have, existing
(24:43):
talent that they have, combining that all in the government.
And that is something that I think every interesting.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
We got a video by the way, hang on, I
didn't realize it was going to have words to it.
This is what the Department of Energy posted on their website.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
Age Humanity invents new ways to see further. The telescope
let us glimpse the stars. The microscope revealed the worlds
within us. For centuries, thinkers like Liveness, Shannon and Turning
dreamed of making all knowledge computable. But today knowledge grows
(25:26):
faster than our ability to understand it. Trillions of data
points a universe of information still unconnected.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Now, a new instrument emerges.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
When capable not only of observing the universe, but of
understanding it. Genesis mission will transform how science is done
in America, uniting our brightest minds, most powerful computers, and
vast scientific data into one living system for discovery built
on artificial intelligence and quantum computing. It will radically redefine
(26:01):
the scale, speed, and purpose of scientific progress in America.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
It is pretty ambitious and it is incredible. It's a
twenty Challenges directive, So within sixty days, the government must
identify twenty critical problems from curing diseases to securing energy dominance.
That is, the new AI platform will be exclusively targeted
to solve and a rapid deployment timeline. There isn't a
long term plan. The order mandates that the platform must
(26:30):
reach initial operating capability and start delivering results on national
challenges within just nine months. It is very ambitious. It's
almost like going back to that Manhattan Project, or going
back to when Kennedy said We're we're gonna walk.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
On the moon.
Speaker 8 (26:46):
This is the work that will define our generation's legacy.
A new revolution begins, one guided not by competition alone,
but by curiosity, imagination, and the belief that discuss is
the truest form of progress.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
It's very well done. That's a very well done video.
But look as slick as that is Trent. I mean,
there's a lot of upside, tremendous amount possibility there, but
there's a lot of downside. People I can't blame them
for being a little apprehensive of this. And I guess
the only thing I would say is do we want
to develop it? Or do we want China to develop it? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Justin I think that's the key here. I mean, obviously,
what can go wrong? What couldn't go wrong? In this
digital age that we live in, where things are hacked
willy nilly, we have scams, we have all these things
that are like small tech problems in the bigger picture
that we can't solve. And then you want to take
this big, huge model and overtake the world with science
and engineering and data sharing and whatever. The issue is justin,
(27:54):
like you said, is whatever our opinion is wherever we
are in this messy process of technology. If China or
another country owns this and as and is four times
or ten times ahead of us, which could happen quickly
as this technology snowballs, it's inevitable that we're going to
fall into the dust. You know what if Germany had
that nuclear weapon? Right, everybody regrets nuclear weapons in the
(28:18):
sense of the danger in the nuclear war. But would
we all be Germany today, justin if we didn't have
that nuclear weapon and if World War two didn't happen,
I just all of them. Yeah, that's a that's a
hard thing to think about it.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I just can't.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
We're on.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
This is this is my biggest concern. We're on the precipice.
We might even be about we might even be jumping
off the cliff right now and building our wings, you know,
or the parachute, you know, so to speak. We're like
on the precipice of this thing. And I just don't
think there's been enough thought about this by certain people, yes,
(28:58):
but not by the average person. Like how is this
going to affect that people are talking about losing jobs
and what that might look like, and also the control
aspects of this. You know, you get something like this
built and think about what it can do to control
society in ways that no man has ever probably ever
been able to accomplish. You know, if Hitler or any
(29:19):
of those now or any of those people have the
opportunity to do what they're they're going to be able
to do to everyone at some point, that's a really
terrifying perspective, and I think it definitely deserves to be
a little further examined. Now we've heard about taking jobs,
(29:39):
but how about jobs that you're going to need people for,
And how about one of these jobs. Trent is hiring,
in fact, he needs somebody to come work with him
at Grand River Tech. Trent, this is your essentially IT
solutions company. This is the company where you guys do
all kinds of great security work, cybersecurity, but you also
(30:00):
do you know, video camera security, things like that, security systems,
things of that nature. You do a whole slew of
things that folks may not even realize. But this is
a solutions for organizations, churches, schools, your factory, whatever it
might be. This is how Trent works with people throughout
West Michigan to help them get whatever it is done
(30:20):
that they need to get done. And you're looking for
help yourself right now, it sounds like you're hiring.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Right justin Yes, we're looking for somebody who is a
hard worker, somebody that loves technology, loves helping people walk
through the difficulties of technology. A lot of things we
talk about we work on behind the scenes here and
it's a rewarding job to make sure that small businesses,
churches and schools that their technology works so that they
don't have to have all the stress to deal with
the kind of things that you know sometimes we are
(30:49):
afraid over, complain about, or frustrated with. Behind the scenes,
we make sure they can just get their job done
in the real world.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Now, my question for you would be this, what's a
best way for somebody to get in touch with you
and maybe reach out and see if they can work
with you.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Yeah, so you can just email me directly Trent at
Grandrivertech dot com if you're interested or know somebody that's interested.
Spread the word. It's a great satisfying, rewarding career helping people.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Out, Trent. Can there be affordable eyestore like Michigan Drive
and stand out Grand River Tech as well. Grand rivertech
dot com is the website if you want to reach
out and ask more. All right, one last story, and
I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this,
but i do want to mention it so that you
know what is happening behind the scenes. We've talked about
(31:35):
it and touched on it before, but over the weekend,
Elon must introduced a new feature on x that led
people see where their accounts or accounts they followed were located,
where they were coming from. And one of the things
that they discovered is lots of these accounts, some high
profile accounts ended up looking like maybe they're bought or
(31:56):
foreign influenced type accounts. Now some accounts that were actual
people look like they may have gotten caught up in
this using a VPN themselves. So there's another aspect to
this that maybe Trent can explain what that is and
why that is. But I just want you to know,
when you're interacting with people on social media, whatever that
(32:18):
website would be, there's a chance, probably a good chance,
the person you're arguing with isn't real.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Yeah, Justin, this is long long overdue. They should have
done this many years ago. It's just a little basic
accountability helps people see where people are coming from. But
I will, like you mentioned Justin, take this a little
bit with a grain of salt. So Apple has a
free built in VPNs that can spoof your location by
default supposed to do that to stop advertisers any other
third part VPNs do that. Secured web browsers have VPNs
(32:47):
built in it's going to not have accurate locations for
many people, and it could be for legitimate reasons. But
I do think it's a good thing that people can
realize where these are coming from, so you can ask
the question. And those who aren't using a VPN and
have a local location that can be spoofed too to
make it look like it's your neighbor when they are
(33:07):
on the other side of the world. So good tool,
great to look at, it great to think about, but
don't just take that as truth for both ways. If
somebody shows up as your neighbor or vice versa on
the other side of the world, there might be a
reason for that.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Yeah, and again, please you you got to realize there's
a lot of foreign what we found, a lot of
foreign interest that is number one. What their goal is
is to foment people arguments division in this country, even
between the right itself certainly the left and right. But
(33:42):
that's what they want, is they want us fighting each other.
And so a lot of times when you see people
online just making those sense, it's not just that day
of the extreme case of Trump's arrangement syndrome. That's that's possibilities. Well,
but sometimes it might be that that they're not even
real that they're a bot in fact, Trent, Always a pleasure,

million pound heist that they describe it. Two men two
women from Paris in that region taken into custody this morning,
out into the three men already in custody, and alleged

gangs number and arrive here our hometown folks who'll make
it happen. So long Obamacare, Here comes trump Care. The
presidents set to roll out a plan as early as
(02:01):
this week. They're saying, and it could be a big win.
It could be a doozy Obamacare. It's just not working out.
It's sort of collapsing underneath the pressure.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
The plan as as this week to address those rising
healthcare costs, specifically a way to avert the expected spike
in premiums with the looming deadline and expiration of the
Affordable Care Subsidies Act.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
We gotta quiate point fingers we got to start doing
something with this thing. At least Trump's proposal does something
over a two year period and keeps people from losing
their insurance, and it verifies that it's not a bunch
of frauds going on.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
That's Rep. Ten berching out of Tennessee with that news casts. Well,
why is it happening, As you mentioned in that is
you have heart expanding credits Biden put in place up
at the end of the year, premiums are about to
skyrocket for folks. Trump taking some action, and you could
be talking about that on Thursday a number. Unless you're
(03:01):
sago politics at the table, then that's maybe that's a
whole nother story. But the chances are you're not going
to be able to get around this next one. Call
me Leticia James cases to the Justice fer.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Judge has thrown out criminal indictments against two of the
president's political foes, former FBI Director James Comy and New
York Attorney General Leticia James. The judge ruled that President
Trump's hand pit prosecutor on the cases had been unlawfully appointed.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
But I got it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, before we get into all of that, I gotta
break that down for you because this is gonna get appealed.
There are people on the left that are out dancing
in the streets right now. It's it's not over just yet.
And uh, one more story, the Pentagon saying they're going
to investigate. Yeah, so they're gonna get it done. Apparently
(03:54):
captain retired Navy Captain turn US Senator Mark Kelly after
appearing in that video. They may listen to this, they
may recall him. They may recall him. That means bring
him back into service and then court martial him for
(04:14):
the video. What a wild turn of events. Sucks. I
got more on that in a moment too. Hang on,
it's just crazy, because you know we always tell you
it's like drinking from a fire hose. There's not enough
time in this hour, the fastest houring radio to fit
(04:36):
it all in. He's done enough time in a Big
three to fit it in. Because probably one of the
bigger stories of the day I didn't even get a
chance to get through yet, which is they think they
got a deal with Ukraine. A nineteen point plan has
been accepted. We're one step closer. I think Zelenski even
(04:56):
saying this president doesn't sleep. I'm telling called.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Justin Now at six one six seven seven four twenty
four twenty four at six one, six seven seven four
twenty four to twenty four West Michigan Live with Justin
Barclay on News Radio Wood thirteen hundred and one oh
six nine.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
A f M.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I know that news is kind of stuff. That's why
Friday normally you maybe be I don't know, running around
town shopping and bopping, trying to get some of those
Black Friday ideals. Make sure you turn us on. I'll
be filling in for Glenn back nationwide nine to noon
so you can hear us talk about these stories and
get you up to speed. A guarantee they'll be breaking
(05:37):
news while we're probably stuffing ourselves and watching Alliance on Thursday.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
White House is supportive of the Department of Wars investigation
into Senator Mark Kelly, and I think what Senator Mark
Kelly was actually trying to do was intimidate the one
point three million active duty service members who are currently
serving in our United States Armed Forces with that video
that he and his Democratic colleagues UH put out. Senator
(06:01):
Mark Kelly well well knows the rules of the military
and the respect that one must have for the chain
of command and that all lawful, all orders, lawful orders
are presumed to be legal by our service members. You
can't have a functioning military if there is disorder in
chaos within the ranks. And that's what these Democrat members
were encouraging. It's very clear, and not a single one
(06:23):
of them, since they've been pressed by the media, and
I'll give you guys credit for that, can point to
a single illegal order that this administration has given down
because it does not exist. They knew what they were
doing in this video, and Senator Mark Kelly and all
of them should be held accountable for that.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
That that is, that is we talk uh talking about
news and this is going to be a single loser
might the left of gonna loser?
Speaker 8 (06:46):
See?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I told you that Trump was a fascist. See, I
told you the guy you gotta watch him. I told
you this guy he's just up to no good.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
That's that's I guarantee what you So, here's what is happening.
Because the video is made, they essentially are telling people
in the video, hey, you know you can disobey illegal orders.
Now it puts the country at risk. We've talked about
this just to sheer optics of it to countries like Russian.
By the way, Trump's in the middle of trying to
(07:18):
get this piece still done with Ukraine in Russia, so
they think maybe there's a coup going on. Well, of
course there is. There's been a coup going on since
twenty fifteen. So these folks are openly outright telling folks
in the military about it. And by the way, this
is gonna this is like, this is gonna get people killed.
(07:41):
Now you got people that think, well, I can disobey
any order I don't agree with because it's illegal. Well,
it certainly paints that opportunity for them, and then the
Democrats saying we got your back, and then going further
I've seen further in the last days where they say,
you know, Trump's not gonna be in office forever, and
(08:04):
as soon as he's out, you know we're gonna call
We're gonna come after you. So I said, this is
the type of thing you have to nip in the bud.
As a retiree. By the way, what are they doing
and why can they do it? As a retiree. Senator
Kelly remains subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice
(08:26):
and therefore could be recalled to active duty, court martialed,
or face administrative measures. The Administration and the Pentagon describe
the message as undermining military discipline, while Kelly says this
is intimidation of Congress and questions of lawful orders lie
at the heart. But nobody could tell you, by the way,
(08:48):
nobody can tell you what what what orders are they
talking about? In fact, Kelly himself went on MS D
n C thirteen, which I think they're calling MS now
or no, Yeah, that's no. I don't know. Honestly, I
(09:09):
can't keep up with it. But that dude, Rachel Mattow
is still over. There're still mad as ever, and Kelly
himself admits to Mattow the Trump hasn't issued any illegal orders.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
Colleagues made that video.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Were there specific potentially illegal orders that you were thinking
about that were the sort of precipitating cause for you
guys to get together and do that.
Speaker 10 (09:34):
Here's the thing, Rachel, you don't want to wait for
your kid to get hit by a car before you
tell them to look both ways and your car, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
So no, essentially is what he said. By the way,
this whole thing about wait just to start doting, we
gotta warn these military they get it when they go
into basic. They understand. There's not a one of them
that doesn't understand it. Matter of fact, what makes us
worse is these folks being a part of the military,
being retired, being part of that, they should know this
more than anyone else anyway. That is just one one
(10:11):
of the stories. Now Senator Reuben Gego out of Arizona
is out there calling Secretary of Defense or Secretary of
War now Pete Hegsath, who they in fact issued this statement,
the Secretary of the Department of War rather issued this
statement online the other day about this which they're gonna
(10:33):
be looking into it, gonna be taking a look at
whether we should recall him or not. He's going after
as a veteran, as a Senate Democrats Senator on seeing it,
going after the Secretary of.
Speaker 11 (10:45):
War, what would you say directly to Pete Hegsath, the
Secretary of Defense, of course renamed the Secretary of War
about this issue.
Speaker 10 (10:57):
Well, I think number one, you will never ever ever
even be half the man that Senator Kelly is. You, sir,
are a coward.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (11:04):
The fact that you are following this order from the
President shows how big of a coward. You are and
I can't wait to you no longer are the secretary
of defense?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
This this this, this guy is so dumb. This senator
from Arizona, he actually incriminated himself. I don't know if
you saw this, but he incriminated himself. On that same show,
he admitted to everyone that they all got talking points.
(11:38):
By the time the script got to me, he says,
admitting that this whole thing was scripted. The whole thing
was planned, It was carefully choreographed, it was organized, and
there is more happening behind the scenes.
Speaker 11 (11:51):
Did you consider were why were you not part of
this video?
Speaker 10 (11:56):
Yeah? Actually so, I was part of the first video.
The second video is by the time the script got
to me, and it was in the middle.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Of a lot was going on.
Speaker 10 (12:03):
I just didn't have time to actually record. If I'm
one hundred percent onlignement with them, uh.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
The time the script got to me. By the way,
this guy is throwing himself as he incriminates himself, throwing
himself into the risk of being recalled in court martialed
as well. They all are. Now, I don't know that
this is gonna happen. I don't know that that's the answer.
But I'm telling you there needs to be accountability. You
cannot let this lie because this and they know what
(12:29):
they were doing was an effort to undermine the military,
was on an effort mind undermine the entire country and
put us all at risk.
Speaker 9 (12:42):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
And that that just can't stand. Folks that cannot stand.
Speaker 10 (12:49):
Moore.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Coming up, we'll check our headlines and menutes. Plus we
got a Tech Tuesday segment Rarn waiting in the gates

illegal orders issued by President Trump. Slockin had put out
a bogus video with other Democrats and now she's forced
to tell this to ABC's Martha Radditt's.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Let's talk right now.
Speaker 11 (15:25):
Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders?

why it won't stand likely throwing this whole thing out,
and the motive that they used to do it. What
they said that this was good. First, that's a democrat,
(18:09):
radical activist judge. I don't even have to tell you
this anymore. It's like clockwork now. So this judge makes
his move or her move. I don't even remember the
name of the judge. It doesn't matter anymore. There's ten
of them. Trump's gonna parton that turkey the next day
here or so, and then they're gonna have some federal
activist judge come out Bohsburg or the other one and
say no, no, no, it does We can't do that
(18:33):
kind of reverse it. I am parting a turkey. You
know that's what's coming next. That's how ridiculous this is
all gotten.
Speaker 9 (18:42):
I'm grateful that the court ended the case against me,
which was a prosecution based on malevolence and incompetence and
a reflection of what the Department of Justice has become
under Donald Trump, which is heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Oh boy, I can't wait to see that guy behind
bars in an orange jumpsuit. Letisia James done the less
and folks don't listen to don't doubt it. You could play.
It could happen sooner than you think, because this whole
thing it's not gonna stand. It's gonna get appealed. And
I'm gonna tell you that this Supreme courtse is not
gonna let this. They're not gonna let the little, small
little courts make these decisions for the president. And I'll
(19:18):
get into why that matters coming up in just moments.
A little bit later on the program, we do tech
talk coming up next and more after this. Don't go anywhere.
Let's check the markets, opening real quick if we can.
For the latest here on a short week. Epis thanks
(19:41):
Giving week, folks, lots of green on the screen. Wow,
the Dow's up three hundred point NASDAK retreating one day
after the big rally is in video drops That thing
basically runs the Nasdaq. September core wholesale prices rose less
than expected retail sales gain. Bessett says there's a very
(20:02):
good chance Trump names a new fed chair before Christmas.
All of that market news adding to what we're us
seeing play out on the stock market today. So keep
that in mind as we keep an eye on it.
Trinkin Ibby Tech Talk Tuesday on the way. But first

Speaker 1 (21:40):
To Folks, no delay, do it before it's too late,
tack 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 (21:52):
We've got tech news today and I've got a good
feeling that somebody actually might get a job out of this.
That's right. I think somebody listening today might get a
job out of this Tech Talk segment with our good
friendship Commit Cannemby from Affordable Lifestore on Lake Michigan Drive
and Grand River Tech and standby because at the end
of the segment we're gonna tell you about that Trent
(22:14):
is hiring, so to speak. And I want to make
sure that you understand because this I think would be
a fantastic position for someone. Welcome in Trent.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
How are you come on?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Justin doing great?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
This is another day, another moment here that we see
AI in the headlines again and in the spotlight again.
Fact the administration, amongst all the other interesting things that
are happening. Yesterday we got this press release. The Genesis
mission is that Trump Administration's attempt to build an AI
(22:48):
powered national research engine. It's being pitched as the Manhattan Project.
On the Manhattan Project level sort of project for AI.
The President has ordered a historic war footing mobilization. And
by the way, you know, I kind of agree with
(23:09):
him that whoever gets this down. And by the way,
it's it's whether it's a good or bad your intentions,
just like any other tool. I think that's whether you're
talking about you know, nuclear power or even fire arms,
whatever it is, right like, whatever your intentions might be,
and the person wielding that tool or weapon is really
(23:31):
going to decide how it all plays out. And that's
what he's saying. You don't want China to end up
winning this race. It's the same as it was with
nuclear weapons. And so they put this task force, this
Manhattan Project style thing together, which looks like is going
to be run by the Department of Energy some some
(23:53):
portions of it. That's kind of telling it itself. Trent,
welcome in.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah, good morning, justin. This is crazy to encourage anybody
who has any interest in reading this. If this is
the future, if this is the new arms race, space race,
every race combined into one project, then this is the mandate.
And this lays out what the goals and purposes are
and you can read it. It's fairly long, but It's
actually written pretty simply that the average joke can understand it.
(24:20):
But yeah, it basically combines space race, arms race, AI,
computer technology, medical science, everything you can think of. Trump
is basically saying, hey, we need to put all of
our heads together. All of our resources is for especially
all of our existing there's a keynote through this document,
existing resources, existing databases, existing information that they have, existing
(24:43):
talent that they have, combining that all in the government.
And that is something that I think every interesting.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
We got a video by the way, hang on, I
didn't realize it was going to have words to it.
This is what the Department of Energy posted on their website.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
Age Humanity invents new ways to see further. The telescope
let us glimpse the stars. The microscope revealed the worlds
within us. For centuries, thinkers like Liveness, Shannon and Turning
dreamed of making all knowledge computable. But today knowledge grows
(25:26):
faster than our ability to understand it. Trillions of data
points a universe of information still unconnected.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Now, a new instrument emerges.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
When capable not only of observing the universe, but of
understanding it. Genesis mission will transform how science is done
in America, uniting our brightest minds, most powerful computers, and
vast scientific data into one living system for discovery built
on artificial intelligence and quantum computing. It will radically redefine
(26:01):
the scale, speed, and purpose of scientific progress in America.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
It is pretty ambitious and it is incredible. It's a
twenty Challenges directive, So within sixty days, the government must
identify twenty critical problems from curing diseases to securing energy dominance.
That is, the new AI platform will be exclusively targeted
to solve and a rapid deployment timeline. There isn't a
long term plan. The order mandates that the platform must
(26:30):
reach initial operating capability and start delivering results on national
challenges within just nine months. It is very ambitious. It's
almost like going back to that Manhattan Project, or going
back to when Kennedy said We're we're gonna walk.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
On the moon.
Speaker 8 (26:46):
This is the work that will define our generation's legacy.
A new revolution begins, one guided not by competition alone,
but by curiosity, imagination, and the belief that discuss is
the truest form of progress.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
It's very well done. That's a very well done video.
But look as slick as that is Trent. I mean,
there's a lot of upside, tremendous amount possibility there, but
there's a lot of downside. People I can't blame them
for being a little apprehensive of this. And I guess
the only thing I would say is do we want
to develop it? Or do we want China to develop it? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Justin I think that's the key here. I mean, obviously,
what can go wrong? What couldn't go wrong? In this
digital age that we live in, where things are hacked
willy nilly, we have scams, we have all these things
that are like small tech problems in the bigger picture
that we can't solve. And then you want to take
this big, huge model and overtake the world with science
and engineering and data sharing and whatever. The issue is justin,
(27:54):
like you said, is whatever our opinion is wherever we
are in this messy process of technology. If China or
another country owns this and as and is four times
or ten times ahead of us, which could happen quickly
as this technology snowballs, it's inevitable that we're going to
fall into the dust. You know what if Germany had
that nuclear weapon? Right, everybody regrets nuclear weapons in the
(28:18):
sense of the danger in the nuclear war. But would
we all be Germany today, justin if we didn't have
that nuclear weapon and if World War two didn't happen,
I just all of them. Yeah, that's a that's a
hard thing to think about it.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I just can't.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
We're on.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
This is this is my biggest concern. We're on the precipice.
We might even be about we might even be jumping
off the cliff right now and building our wings, you know,
or the parachute, you know, so to speak. We're like
on the precipice of this thing. And I just don't
think there's been enough thought about this by certain people, yes,
(28:58):
but not by the average person. Like how is this
going to affect that people are talking about losing jobs
and what that might look like, and also the control
aspects of this. You know, you get something like this
built and think about what it can do to control
society in ways that no man has ever probably ever
been able to accomplish. You know, if Hitler or any
(29:19):
of those now or any of those people have the
opportunity to do what they're they're going to be able
to do to everyone at some point, that's a really
terrifying perspective, and I think it definitely deserves to be
a little further examined. Now we've heard about taking jobs,
(29:39):
but how about jobs that you're going to need people for,
And how about one of these jobs. Trent is hiring,
in fact, he needs somebody to come work with him
at Grand River Tech. Trent, this is your essentially IT
solutions company. This is the company where you guys do
all kinds of great security work, cybersecurity, but you also
(30:00):
do you know, video camera security, things like that, security systems,
things of that nature. You do a whole slew of
things that folks may not even realize. But this is
a solutions for organizations, churches, schools, your factory, whatever it
might be. This is how Trent works with people throughout
West Michigan to help them get whatever it is done
(30:20):
that they need to get done. And you're looking for
help yourself right now, it sounds like you're hiring.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Right justin Yes, we're looking for somebody who is a
hard worker, somebody that loves technology, loves helping people walk
through the difficulties of technology. A lot of things we
talk about we work on behind the scenes here and
it's a rewarding job to make sure that small businesses,
churches and schools that their technology works so that they
don't have to have all the stress to deal with
the kind of things that you know sometimes we are
(30:49):
afraid over, complain about, or frustrated with. Behind the scenes,
we make sure they can just get their job done
in the real world.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Now, my question for you would be this, what's a
best way for somebody to get in touch with you
and maybe reach out and see if they can work
with you.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Yeah, so you can just email me directly Trent at
Grandrivertech dot com if you're interested or know somebody that's interested.
Spread the word. It's a great satisfying, rewarding career helping people.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Out, Trent. Can there be affordable eyestore like Michigan Drive
and stand out Grand River Tech as well. Grand rivertech
dot com is the website if you want to reach
out and ask more. All right, one last story, and
I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this,
but i do want to mention it so that you
know what is happening behind the scenes. We've talked about
(31:35):
it and touched on it before, but over the weekend,
Elon must introduced a new feature on x that led
people see where their accounts or accounts they followed were located,
where they were coming from. And one of the things
that they discovered is lots of these accounts, some high
profile accounts ended up looking like maybe they're bought or
(31:56):
foreign influenced type accounts. Now some accounts that were actual
people look like they may have gotten caught up in
this using a VPN themselves. So there's another aspect to
this that maybe Trent can explain what that is and
why that is. But I just want you to know,
when you're interacting with people on social media, whatever that
(32:18):
website would be, there's a chance, probably a good chance,
the person you're arguing with isn't real.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Yeah, Justin, this is long long overdue. They should have
done this many years ago. It's just a little basic
accountability helps people see where people are coming from. But
I will, like you mentioned Justin, take this a little
bit with a grain of salt. So Apple has a
free built in VPNs that can spoof your location by
default supposed to do that to stop advertisers any other
third part VPNs do that. Secured web browsers have VPNs
(32:47):
built in it's going to not have accurate locations for
many people, and it could be for legitimate reasons. But
I do think it's a good thing that people can
realize where these are coming from, so you can ask
the question. And those who aren't using a VPN and
have a local location that can be spoofed too to
make it look like it's your neighbor when they are
(33:07):
on the other side of the world. So good tool,
great to look at, it great to think about, but
don't just take that as truth for both ways. If
somebody shows up as your neighbor or vice versa on
the other side of the world, there might be a
reason for that.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Yeah, and again, please you you got to realize there's
a lot of foreign what we found, a lot of
foreign interest that is number one. What their goal is
is to foment people arguments division in this country, even
between the right itself certainly the left and right. But
(33:42):
that's what they want, is they want us fighting each other.
And so a lot of times when you see people
online just making those sense, it's not just that day
of the extreme case of Trump's arrangement syndrome. That's that's possibilities. Well,
but sometimes it might be that that they're not even
real that they're a bot in fact, Trent, Always a pleasure,

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
