Welcome into the After Show.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
The show after the show, the official after show is underway,
and I think today we're going to include on the
podcast those conversations that we just had off the air
so that people can hear the on edited.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Portion of it.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
But if you're listening to this now on the podcast,
you'll hear it probably at the end of the show.
We'll make sure it gets at the end there. So
don't go anywhere because what we just heard from people.
If you are listening to the full regular show today
or the podcast of it, you can listen live or
archive to Justin Barkley dot comy iheartright up wherever you
download your podcast. We heard from folks in the Consta
(01:43):
county again. They're at it again, these de drain commissioner there.
I believe it's a county drink commissioner trying to hit
folks in the bigger rapids township for massive bills on
the drainage that they're looking at. And some of these
folks getting sixty one thousand dollars bills in the mail,
some of them in their eighties. One a Korean War vet.
(02:04):
We talked to Ruper's eighty five years old. He said,
served his nation. You could tell you could hear the
tears it is in his eyes. He said, Yeah, I
don't want to lose my home, but I can't take
it anywhere. There's nothing I could do to pay this
bill that they wanted to pay to put this drainage thing,
and nobody had any sort of input on it. It
is at least it sounds like maybe corruption at its
(02:28):
height at the peak. Anyway, this is the latest on
this story. Is it connected to the ghoshten story.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I don't know. It's a little far off.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I could see that it might possibly have some connections,
but I just don't know. I can't make that statement
without you know, without knowing for sure, but that is
certainly to me anyway. It is a question that ought
to that really ought to get answered. Hey want to
think our sponsor today broadcast that's qwith Justin dot com.
(03:03):
Watch all the channels. I mean you talk about we
watched got a chance to watch a little baseball with
my dad.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
This.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
We know I don't get the Yankees here, we get
the Tigers. Well, I grew up my dad watched the
Yankees where I'm from my hometown, Don Mattingly, it was
from that town. So he ended up watching the Yankees.
We watched a lot of Cardinals too back where I'm
from and Indiana, but we got a chance to watch
a little bit of those highlights in the game over
the weekend, and I thought, how cool is this? I
(03:31):
can I was reminded watch any of those games anytime anywhere.
With Q broadcast, you could watch it if you're like
nailed down to specific regional broadcast, only on your cable
or satellite system. One of the great things about Q,
not only can you cut the court, you pay less.
It's only about two bucks a day. With CUE broadcasts.
(03:53):
You get access to all these channels and you can
watch any of those local sports or television, the news,
whatever you want to see all over the country. Plus
you get all the movie channels, you get streaming on demand,
all of that good stuff. And it's just like I said,
two bucks a month. Now if you if you've used
Q before, you got to come back and see how
(04:13):
different it is. They've done so many great advancements. They're
on the Amazon App Store, the Apple laps Store, Google
Play as well, so you can download them and put
them on your TV or device. You can also take
them anywhere with your iPad or tablet or phone and
watch from anywhere. That's exactly what I do. UFC, the
pay per views, all of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
It's free.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Well, you pay for it just two bucks a month.
If you like to try it again, just to make
sure that it's right for you, even if you've never
tried it before, you can go to queuewithjsin dot com
and you'll get set up with a fifteen day trial
fifteen days a dollar a day. If you like it,
keep it, if not, cancel at any time. It's just
(04:55):
that simple. But I got to tell you, I love
the fact that we can cut the cord on somebody's
woke cable companies that are sending our money doing things
that God knows what. By the way, this is the
month the healing is starting to happen already. I don't
know if you've seen it, but this is the month
particularly Pride. With there, we start to see all of
that money sent and put to different places, and these
(05:17):
corporations start changing their logos and everything.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Did you know.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
That Apparently there are lots lots of different businesses, lots
of different places now that have decided they're not going
to change their logos to the rainbow logo. It's true
this month and this year apparently, And I don't honestly
(05:47):
I can't. I can't tell. But I'm hearing people say
that things are healing. Things are healing. Now, folks, I
know that they've gotten away from it, like Target. I
know they've gotten away from it at places like Walmart.
And you know, there's a lot of good things to
be said for that. I will just say, you know,
(06:08):
when you make your voice known, Look if you hate
us and everything we stand for and who we are
and masquerading around like that's love, it's just a real
tough sell. And that's why I say, keep your politics
out of these types of things, keep your politics out
(06:29):
of these businesses. And I think they're learning that lesson
at least. It's going sort of back in the closet
in some ways. Except for Chick fil A. I don't
know if you saw this one.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
This means somebody posted. I hadn't post this yet, but
I thought.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Oh gosh, this is too good. It's celebrating Pride month.
Our pickles don't touch, just like God intended. Chick fil A.
Now I don't know that to be accurate. Well, it's
the Lord's chicken, so I'll give them credit. But anyway,
I love the fact that the nature is healing the world,
(07:09):
is it? I think people are coming back to understand.
You know, look, we don't want this stuff shoved down
our throats. Not about hating anybody or anything. We just
don't need that. Particularly, we don't need to show our
kids and have this stuff, have them exposed to the
indoctrination of it all.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
It's just.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
It's just not the way that any of this should work.
We got some highlights from over the weekend, and you
probably heard some of these stories. President Trump would to
get to some of those in just a little bit. Plus,
I got big news that we didn't get a dead
chance to even barely scratch the surface on today, so.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
That as well.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I got to get into economic news that I think
is big, and we got a runa report that we
want to push out there. First, Let's start with this.
I've not heard a lot of it. They've been very
quiet on the egg prices. Have you seen this lately?
The egg prices? There's an update. The egg miss is
(08:13):
probably why they're being quiet on the egg Look how
low they go? How low can they go by the way,
egg prices have now declined sixty two percent. It's President
Trump's inauguration day. They were at six fifty five down
there at two fifty two per dozen. The media has
ignored this story once again, just as you thought they
(08:37):
essentially would. But I'm telling you so that you could
share it with other people. I don't know what your
prices are. Don't come in to the chat be like
why they didn't go down for me? Well, in Michigan,
we've got our own woke state government. That's that's costing
these prices to go up, that that could be impacting it.
Matter of fact, don't come at me with gas prices either.
(08:58):
We had a whole conversation about this the other day
around around Memorial Day, and we didn't get a chance
you united to discuss this the national average and explain
the story. And I'm gonna lay it out for you
that the national average is what they deal with, and
they're talking about these but the national average of gas
was the lowest on Memorial Day it's been in decades, decades.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Folks.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Now you look at that story, you look at that headline,
you go, now, gas prices aren't what I would consider low.
They're not low. That's not true. I don't know if
I agree with that, but it's fact they are. They're
lower than what they have been in decades, and that's fantastic.
(09:45):
Matter of fact, I was going to try and log
in to show you. It came up with my memories
today on Facebook. Let me just pull it up on
my phone and see if I can. I can show
you three years ago, twenty twenty two, do you know
what gas prices were. By the way, we now have
some of the lowest gas prices as like I said,
(10:07):
it was in Indiana. So you know, even when you're
paying three something here in Michigan, you got inflated.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
You know, taxes that cause us to pay more.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
But you know, I saw gas as low as two
fifty when I was down in Indiana two dollars and
fifty cents now on the highway for the most part,
it was right around two ninety nine somewhere in there.
But three years ago, this is what you did to remember,
just so you could understand three years ago.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Trying to blur it out, I don't want to get
to blurt out.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
But look at that marathon five twenty nine, five twenty
nine three years ago. Today, folks today, that is incredible.
(11:00):
You imagine that's so could you You're down two dollars
a gallon. And this is just the beginning of drill, baby, drill.
This is just the beginning of opening all of that up.
And it is uh, it's it's massiveness, and it's like
I said, it's news that you're not gonna hear the
mainstream media covering. Matter of fact, the gm CEO out
there in the green Pipe dream is still out there,
(11:23):
Mary Bearr. She's still out there pushing that they're gonna
build evs.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I don't think so, oh dare you?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Oh, they might build them, But she says, I see
a path to all ev I do believe we'll get
there because I think the vehicles are better.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I disagree.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I disagree, and I honestly I think she ought to
speaking to get there.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
She got to go on somewhere, is what I think,
because if.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
She's buying into this nonsense, it's just sad. Think about
what it would cost to power them. We need that
energy right now. We need it to power AI data
centers and everything else. You're not gonna pull your tesla
and everybody's going to drive testas some people might. I
like Tesla's and I don't like any of the other
electric cars. I'm sorry, just don't until they get range
(12:08):
and all that other stuff work, that's just not going
to happen. Plus what it takes to actually produce the batteries,
it's not a clean energy at all.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Still see that all electric future.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
And when do you think the US might eventually get there?
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Well, you know, I think depending on what happens with
the regulatory environment. And also I think what's actually more
important is getting a robust charging infrastructure, as I mentioned,
because I do believe the consumer is very rational when
you think about buying a new vehicle, a Kara truck
or a crossover. For most people, it's the most important
or the second most important and expensive purchase that they make.
(12:47):
So consumers are incredibly rational and they need to make
sure that vehicle is going to take care of their
whole life. And so I believe as we continue to
have great evs, and I'm really proud we have more
evs in the market right now than anyone else in
this I'm very proud of what we have, and I
think we're going to continue. We've been growing market share.
We're now number two. I think we're going to continue.
(13:08):
So I see a path to all evy. It will
depend on how much we get the infrastructure ready, but
I do believe we'll get there because I think the
vehicles are better.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
You talk about a pipe what a pipe dream? An
absolute pipe dream?
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
The green new scam, I just don't.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I mean, anybody who's still out there pitching that is
just insane. Now you heard the accent on the other gun.
It was sir, the Wall Street Journal, So you know
you want to talk about wrong. But still back here
at home, and in fact in Washington State, A is
furning around that. I don't know who's here for Washington State.
Somebody maybe paying attention in Washington State today, a male
(13:47):
student has won the girls four hundred meter dash two
A at the Washington State Track and Field Championships in Tacoma.
Donovan Brown, also known as Veronica Garcia. Well that's quite
a name change, booed by the audience after being announced
(14:07):
as the.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Winner of that race. Out out, Evan Brown.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Take a listen to this the healing that's happening in
nature right now.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Not a boy.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I love whoever is recording, that's a boy fifty high
holing seven zero from east audience.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Dame that Garcia.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
That's a boy. He's a boy.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
That to me is them, and I don't know who.
It's probably some Mama Bear there or Grandma Bear just
out there throwing down the common sense, truth, logic and
common sense.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
That's a boy. That is a boy.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
The FBI is investigating, not this particular incident, although they should,
and you know, maybe it's just a matter of time
before you start seeing those things. But they are investigating.
The FBI is right now and they're digging in, and folks,
I think we are days away from actually seeing some
arrests here. This is news that I keep hearing trickling
out behind the scenes that I think you gotta be
(15:38):
very happy when it does. I want to tell you
about that story, but first a word from our sponsor.

is it's a deal and a steal for you. The

lot of report from a high Prince to health and himself.
It's the stuff Patrian saying, the pandemic Sha.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Doctor Tony f Outjo. You know I am the science.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
You know, and.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
You know the fact that about it is orange is
a great color for me.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I love orange jumpsuits and I love silver bracelets. FBI
investigation in the COVID is underway. And they are taking
a look at three central places. By the way, this
is Ron Johnson Center over in a real America's voice
the other night time about this reduce spending and still
(18:40):
get this bill across the line in some form.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
So I've been very consistent since my first time about
the big beautiful bill.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Sorry, I thought it was something in my apologies, he's
been he's been at the forefront of the of the
COVID stuff. That's why I was thinking that's that's what
he was talking about there. But that's not the case.
So there are three different areas. The FBI is actually
looking into. Number one, the origins of the virus. So you,
you and I know where it came from is a
(19:09):
simple right. There's the reason why they call it the
Wu flu China. It came from China. It came from China.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
That's why they call it the China because it came
from China. China, China, China, China, China. It's not racist,
you know. Don't you think it's racist to call it
the China China.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Now we know they're digging in the origin. Where did
it come from? The FBI wants to know the concealment
and destruction of federal records. That's another big piece of
this investigation, and third and foremost the manipulation of the
vaccine approval process and suppression of information about its side effects.
(19:50):
Field office is involved in Cleveland, New York Baltimore actively
working on different aspects of the basis of the investigation.
The investigation gaining moment to following a court ruling that
found China again, you know, the country of origin.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
China, China, China, China.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Conceal those origins along with new information uncovered by Congress.
The FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino publicly acknowledging the investigation
standa bureau is actively looking into the cover up evidence
of concealment. Some federal scientists allegedly used private emails to
hide discussions about the JAB and the virus from you.
(20:29):
They didn't want you to know. Agents in Baltimore leading
the inquiry into the potential illegal conduct related to the
use of those private emails by federal scientists. The Cleveland
office investigating whether federal scientists are political leaders intentionally misled
the public. Did you hear that Andrew Cuomo? Did you
hear that Governor Whitmer did political leaders intentionally mislead the public.
(20:52):
Did they delete evidence about nursing, on deaths, et cetera?
Or did they lie to Congress at all about the
emergence and on China?
Speaker 6 (21:01):
China?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
China, China out of New.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
York their office examining weather there was political manipulation and
the approval process for the jab hmm, well.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
You used to eat teach fries. You can have free
fries and free hamburger.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Will Webner try to do a lottery here. See if
you gave them away money. I want to do a
follow up. How are those people doing though that won
the money? I'm just curious. I don wonder if did
any of the news stations be looking into that? In
New York their office examining weather was political manipulation the
approval process early cases in China. Open source intelligence is
suggesting the earliest recorded cases in China databases may have
(21:39):
happened in September twenty nineteen, with several scientists at the
Wuhan Institute of Orology falling ill. In October twenty nineteen,
the Missouri court case, the Attorney General there, Andrew Bailey,
submitting evidence indicating China's early knowledge of human the human transmission.
They need twenty four billion dollar judgment against the Chinese
and the state of Missouri, China Maszura as they call
(22:01):
it China. What about the NIH and Fauci Congress discovered
that a Chinese scientist December twenty nineteenth submission indicating human
to human transmission was deleted by the INN, my Age
and the Devauci from a US government database. And what
about the JAB and the side effects and the suppression
(22:21):
of which the investigation also looking into whether there were
efforts to hide early side effects of the job, including
heart inflammation.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
In young adults. It's been big.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Pot So again this is coming out, folks. People want
to see arrest and I've been hearing I can't tell
you for a fact, what do I know, But I've
been hearing stories that you're going to see arrests and
you're going to see them happen quickly. So keep an
eye out for that.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Again.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I will be cautiously optimistic in the meantime, and I
will tell you I guess I will believe it when
I see it. But yes, I am praying that justice
and if that's even possible at this point, because the
people have lost lives, but I am praying that justice
would prevail in this situation in many many others.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
All Right, if you're listening to this podcast on the recording.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Stand by, at the end of this recording, you're going
to get some behind the scenes conversations that we had.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
That you won't be able to hear anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
With folks in that township up north where they're trying
to come in highway robbery. I believe they're trying to
get these people out of their homes. It sounds like
seizing their land and who knows what they want to
put up there. But this is the same area where
they want to put that Chinese Communist Party link battery plant,
that Ghoshen battery manufacturing. So are they up to more Shenanigans.
We'll find out. We're going to stay on top of it.
(23:50):
One Korean War veteran they want to kick out of
his home. It sounds like we're not going to let
that happen, not on our watch. Freedom Fan, thanks for
staying with us in the fight. Make sure you stay
up to date on this story and more with a
good newsletter at Justin Barclay dot com so that we
can stay in touch. No matter what happens, big got

Or go to Goldwi justin dot com today. All right,
before we hang on, folks, before we start the after show,
I just want to make sure Gordy's on the line here. Gordon,
good morning, How are you.
Speaker 8 (24:53):
I'm fine.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I wanted to talk to you too. We just ran
out of time here, but can you tell us it
with some of the things that we're hearing, what's your
story on this situation?
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Okay, I'm maybe four years old. I've been on this
farm since I was a kid. So I got an
assessment of over sixty three thousand. So when I made
the appeal, which costs fifteen thousand. I had five different assessments,
so it's going to cost me seventy five thousand to
(25:25):
make the appeal. And what I mean.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
That's incredible. In order to appeal this, you got to
pay What did you say? The original assessment was.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
Well, say, I've got five different parcels.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Oh okay, so for.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Each parcel it was fifteen thousand, So that's seventy five
thousand I would have had to put up to make
an appeal.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Now what was the bond?
Speaker 6 (25:55):
I'm sorry, the bond?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
So what was the full the full amount they were
trying to assess for the drain?
Speaker 6 (26:01):
Okay, sixty over sixty three thousand. It was by assessment,
but they.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Want seventy five for a bond, so you can fight
to sixty That makes it. I'm trying to make that
said it makes sense, it doesn't. That's that's just this
is highway robbery, right, So what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Uh, Gordon? What's I mean?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Obviously folks are standing up fighting back, But what are
you gonna do? If you are you gonna be able
to come up with the seventy five thousand?
Speaker 6 (26:30):
No, I did get a bond for fifteen so I'm
only doing part of my property that I'm going to
appear in a probate court.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Why do you think there's a people are asking in
the chat here. It sounds like a land grab. Why
do you think they're doing this?
Speaker 6 (26:49):
I really don't know. I mean, I really can't afford
the sixty three thousand dollars assessments that they've got me.
I mean, if I paid that over fifteen years, that'd
be over one hundred times than dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I can't, Like, you just can't even imagine.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
I've just got one hundred and fifty eight or farm.
I got cattle and horses on a farm, so I'm
just trying to make a living farm in that place.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
No mistake, they wanted this type of thing to happen,
to expect it on the cover of darkness, in dark
smoke filled rooms.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
I'm sure this is how it's always done.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
But you know, beforehand, you didn't have a way to
reach out, you didn't have a way to fight back
in social media and of course everything else is giving
us a chance. And of course Goshen in that fight
there giving folks a chance to dig in and learn
about how to fight these things. What We're gonna stay
up to date with you. We're going to get your
number and make sure that we're standing up to date
with you. I want to find out how this ends
for you, and of course I want to join you
(27:50):
to fight anything we can do to make that happen.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I'm the these airways are yours, my friend.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
Okay, thank you, thank.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
You, sir.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
I appreciate you. Yeah, here we go. Let me see
is that Joe? Is this Joe on the line?
Speaker 6 (28:06):
Yeah, just sorry.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
We didn't get a chance to get to you on
the air, but I wanted to make sure we talked
to you off the air here so we can get
your story. Tell us what happened to you. We just
heard Gordon they wanted to hit him with sixty thousand
dollars and to fight it was going to cost him
seventy five.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
This is incredible.
Speaker 8 (28:23):
Yeah, oh it's I'm on the township board. And the transparency,
the lack of is I've been in government, you know,
I was a county commissioner. Now I'm a trustee. But
the transparency is just out of sight. I mean, I
(28:44):
just can't believe a government official has this much power
and for example, originally it was one point two five
miles three sections, and now it covers over half the
township and many many many miles, and the people and
(29:05):
like on the township board, like Bruce said, we just
found out about it in March, and it's been going
on since two thy eighteen, and the lack of transparency
to the taxpayers is unbelievable. I mean, it just got
spun on them in the last month, so you know the.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Ins and outs of this. Have you guys gotten any
media coverage on this at all other than what we're
doing today.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
We had a radio show the other day letting a
few people know, but you know, everybody, don't listen to.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
That ratio a local.
Speaker 8 (29:42):
The thing is is the township portion is over three
hundred thousand, So it not only affects the people in
the drain district because people keep saying, well, it only
affects those people in that district, It expects effect the
whole township. Sure, you know, because you know, taxpayers have
(30:05):
to pay it, and then Ferris is part. Tax payers
have to pay that part too. I mean, it's it's
it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Jill. Let me let me ask you on the the
ins and outs of this. What because people are asking
why was this being done? There's some flooding in that area.
Is that the situation? And and uh and they they
are they're trying to make sure that doesn't happen again.
Is that what the problem was?
Speaker 8 (30:32):
Basically the one section where the one person asked for help, Uh,
the road did wash out. The county came in and
put three new culverts in clean the other ones, and
for the most part there hasn't and most of the
(30:53):
township there hasn't been any issues anyplace. And the original
issues and this was a report to the County commission
in December. It only included three sections and one point
two five miles of open ditch, and now it's turned
(31:15):
into just unbelievable. Yeah, so well.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
That's that's that's how this stuff works. You know, it's
you're no stranger to that. It starts with a little
trickle and then it ends with the dam being burst
wide open. But I think they're going to find out
here in this scenario that you aren't going to go quietly,
and of course we're going to help you get the
word out. I don't know how this is all going
to end but we're praying for you guys, and we're
(31:44):
nottually going to be with you, standing with you through it.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
It's late Gordy, for example, I mean eighty years old. Yeah,
I don't know how he's going to pay for it.
There's a business one business to truck and car repair
ninety six thousand. Now, how do you just come up
with that extra money?
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (32:06):
It isn't by doing more cars by you know, it's
just it's it's it's hard to believe that something like
this could happen.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I I I'm right there with you. This shouldn't happen.
It shouldn't happen to anybody. It certainly shouldn't happen to
a eighty five year old veteran or any anybody in
any of these situations.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
Yes, and a lot of the people like I, you know,
we used to their own you know. I mean, it's
very has no it's no effect. I mean, there's they've
never had a trained problem, never had it. You know,
there's crips that they're going to clean out. The crips
never been a problem. I can visualize them causing more
(32:51):
problems and they're gonna cure.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Wouldn't that probably need. But that's that's probably the case.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
They expanded I think probably part of it is they
expanded the coverage because and then they can assess more
people to help pay to where the real problem is
if there is any.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Well, no, I appreciate the you know the call. I
appreciate you jumping in on this this morning. We're going
to make sure that we said, like I said, we're
going to follow it. We're not going to leave you
all standing by yourself. We can stand with you.
Speaker 8 (33:26):
Yeah, and there's going to be a border review. I
think it's this week to determine the benefit to the
townships and all these property owners. Believe me, being timilized
hundreds of thousands of dollars and fifty thousand and eighteen
(33:48):
thousand isn't a benefit to anybody. A lot of people
are possibly could lose their property or have to sell,
and they'll have to sell at a discount because of
this combersome of the drain.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Child.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Thank you, thank you for the information. We're going to
keep following this through. Stay with us. We don't want
to see anybody lose their property, lose their home. I
don't care who it is, but especially not veterans. Yeah,
and we're gonna make sure that we stay on top
of it. Thank you for the update, my friend.
Speaker 8 (34:23):
Thank you, you got it.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yeah, you know, folks.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Are asking about contacting news outlets, your right idea, and
some of that needs to happen. I'm sure the Midwesterner
would cover this. There's probably a few others. But once
we start, just like goshould, once we start and we
start digging into this, and we start waving that flag,
the red flag, letting people know that this is going on,
they'll they'll start coming, they'll start covering it because it'll
(34:48):
be a big story.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
And one that they ought to cover.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I mean, this kind of thing, it happens every day, unfortunately,
and it is it's unthinkable, but it's also it's we
I think the more lightly shine on this, we have
a chance it's Macnsta County, Christine, Big Rapids Township, I
believe Charter township in that area. Supervisor Bruce Borgovich was
(35:16):
on with us to tell us, as you know, I
think he has to kind of remain in a sort
of a neutral position. But also you know, you could
tell the guy is not happy about all of this,
and it's the drain commissioner who has been apparently and
was re elected in twenty four I think is up
again in twenty eight But all of this stuff has
(35:38):
been happening behind the scenes apparently since twenty eighteen, and
they're dream commissioner is a Republican. But from what I've heard,
and I got to do some more digging on this,
there weren't even I don't think competitive bidding or anything
else done on this project. And I need to find
out more about who's involved in the state involved and
(35:58):
who's getting what and because stuff like this, folks, is
there any state money coming around? But stuff like this,
you know that behind the scenes, there's just there's a
lot of this stuff that just sort of all quiet,
under the cover of darkness happens and nobody knows not
(36:20):
a peep was made. Well, we're going to be making
some peep. Thank you for being here today. Don't forget
to share. Follow me everywhere at mister justin Barkley on
all the platforms at justin Barkley dot com. You get
my good newsletter. We can stay in touch no matter
what happens with big tech and social media. And let's
continue to get these stories out so that people can

Well, when you hear the truth, and you can make
the best decision for you.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
And your families, and that's important.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
And no matter what happens, folks, my piece, my home
doesn't come from my circumstances.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
It certainly doesn't come from the people that.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Are in the White House or in Washington, d C.
My piece, my hope, my joy is from some place. Altogether,
Keep your eyes focused on him.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
