What Radio News Time nine o six Our next news
update is it nine thirty Breaking news? What it happens.
I'm Tony Allen on West Michigan's News Whether and TRAFFICSTM
shirt depend on it by from high.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Atop Monroe Center in downtown Grand Rapids. We're talking about
what matters most to you when West Michigan joined the
conversation Now at six one six seven seven four twenty
four twenty four. That's six one six seven seven four
twenty four twenty four. It's West Michigan Live with Justin
Barklay on Wood Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Welcome in Fucus. Don't fall for it. Whatever you do.
We've been here before, We've seen it, we know it,
and you know it. Just it never ceases to amaze
me when I try to pull this out, but particularly
in a time like now. I mean, it's the popes
(01:03):
and attack on the president, and unfortunately, I think it's
an attack on our brave men and women in the
fight too, and I'm gonna tell you what I'm talking about,
and I've even heard it here this morning. I'm setting
a record straight so you understand it and understand what's
driving it all.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Coming up news, weather and traffic. I'm 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 (01:35):
Big three is probably my our good friends at Hard
Little Mortgage. Jim got Away in a team when he
want to buy refine home, make what a lot of
credits a reverse mortgage. They've got you set up. They've
got custom plans for reaching every individual. And your needs
are different than mine, So give Dave and the team
of call. They're gonna walk you through it. They're faster,
they're better than the big banks, and more integrity. I'll
(01:57):
tell you that much. These guys, they are part of
the community and they meet it HHM lending dot Com number.
It's a hunks another one and I'm about to reveal it.
So stand by the ceasefire. Back on yesterday, we had
the stories. The firing continued between Iran and Israel. President
(02:18):
Trump dropping bombs of his own yesterday f bombs, getting
those two back on track after a phone call. It
seems like on the way over to the hag there
in the Netherlands for the meeting with NATO, which he's
still at now. We'll have more on that a little
bit later on this morning. But the mainstream media is
so torn up about everything that's happening in Round and
(02:39):
the ceasefire itself, that they've rolled out the latest hugs,
CNN claiming a top secret Pentagon assessment revealing the US
strikes on Iran's nuclear sites. Operation Midnight Hammer only delayed
the program by a few months, it didn't fully destroy it. Now,
(02:59):
there's a number of reasons why this is the biggest
load of baloney that you'll hear all day long. And
it's wild to me that I think that we're still
hearing it on even this radio station. I'm gonna you're
gonna hear it all day long. So I'm gonna parse
through it and tell you why this this just doesn't
(03:19):
add up. Busted. Joscelyn Benson ads feeding the Secretary of
State Info and folks she was testifying with yesterday chat
at the Oversight Committee hearing. They got her caught on
tape and the photos are wild as well. We've got
that coming up in a conversation with Rep. Steve Carra,
(03:41):
who was there in the mix. You'll hear that all,
plus what was inside of the testimony discovered. Of course
they asked to asked her several different questions. She's trying
to well, she's trying to recreate that infamous win of
Katie Hobbs Critaria State in Arizona, who rigged her way
(04:02):
to becoming governor. That's what we're watching, a couple of
Soros operators, the same playbook, I'll explained. And speaking of
elections with consequences, you know, rigged elections have even worse consequences.
And that's with the FBI. Now we're starting to find
(04:23):
out Cash Ptell and Dan Bongino blowing the whistle. We're
finding out that leaders in the FBI hit evidence of
Chinese interference in the twenty twenty election. I had a
conversation about this that you'll hear in our podcast this weekend.
Ryan Kelly, do you remember speaking of interfering in an election?
The guy they brought up on Trump up charges, You
(04:44):
remember this, he had a misdemeanor they rated us on. The
FBI brought out a helicopter of all things. The inside
story like you've never heard it coming up this weekend,
so stay tuned for that. We had a great conversation
Ryan and I and it's just another one that's very
proud to be able to bring you coming up and
digging into the details about the rigged election and how
(05:08):
they went so far to hide all of the information.
All coming up this morning. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Call 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 a f m.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
All right, so let's break it down the latest Hoaks.
I've read it all morning long and on multiple sources. Folks,
it's just complete belong anybody that has two brain cells
clicking together can figure this out. Oh so you're telling
me that the same people. These are the same folks,
by the way, this is the intelligence community, same folks.
(05:49):
All those people that sign that letter that the Hunter
Biden laptop isn't real. We're supposed to all of a
sudden believe these people whistleblowers post to all of a
sudden believe him. Now here's why I'm not buying it.
It's just a load of malooney in this. It's clear.
It's clear to me, and I, like I said, anybody
(06:10):
that's capable of at all of critical thinking should be
able to understand this. The White House calling the report
flat out wrong and meanwhile to add insult to injury,
which shows the hoax to be even I think more ridiculous.
(06:30):
The US intelligence community also said they've they they have
found now that Iran did not move nuclear materials. That
was the Hawks yesterday and well they well they got them,
they bombed them, but they've moved all that. Where did
all the nuclear material go? They had our heads up,
they got it out in time. Where did it go?
Now we're finding out now that that wasn't the case?
(06:53):
So where did it go? That's part of the that's
part of the the pieces of the puzzle that you
can put together here with me, and I'm going to
tell you it's this stuff to me is so simple,
it's so easy. Meanwhile, Middle East Envoy Steve Whindkoff has
a word for all of this. If there was leaking
and regardless of the information, whether it was true or not.
(07:18):
He says, it's plain and simple. He calls it treason.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
We're talking about with this leaked intel report.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Well, it goes without saying that that leaking that type
of information, whatever the information, whatever side it comes out on,
is outrageous. It's it's trasoness. So it ought to be
investigated and whoever did it, whoever is responsible for it,
should have been held, should be held accountable. It could
hurt lives in the future. Leaking is a completely unacceptable thing.
(07:49):
But let me give you because I've read all the
damage assessment reports from not just our government but from
other governments, and I'm not going to get into anything
that's top secret. But let me tell you for sure
what happened here. There were three there are three distinct
facilities in Iran that we were concerned with, Isfahan, which
is a conversion facility. You cannot weaponize unless you have
(08:13):
a what's called the conversion process at the beginning of
enrichment and then a conversion process to metallicide.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
We're talking about what this leaked, all right, So.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Let's pause him there. I agree whether it's accurate information
or not, Either way it comes out. This is what
agreed treason. And we got to remember you're in the
era of find out, folks. You fool around, you're gonna
find out now. So let's break this down. Why do
I believe it's the latest tokes? And again, why do
(08:45):
I think it matters? Because they can't stand it. They
can't stand that he was able to pull this off.
They can't stand that Trump was able to I've told
you yesterday. These democrats, the mainstream media types, you know,
the talking heads, the Anderson Cooper's, the like. You know,
these people, they don't want peace. They'd rather have death
(09:06):
than have Donald Trump be wrong. That's what it is.
They want death. They want Donald Trump to be wrong.
They don't want peace. If peace comes at the price
of Donald Trump being right, they will choose death on
massive skip because that's the level of their derangement. There's
a reason they call it Trump arrangements. But these people
(09:27):
are not well. And you know who I'm talking about.
It's every single one of them on your friend's list
or online that pops in the social media wants to
comment on this, that or the other thing, and they're
all ill informed, misinformed, disinformed, whatever you want to call
it ignorant, just flat out all together. So break down
the hups with me. We're supposed to believe, all of
(09:49):
a sudden that a massive and the biggest of its
kind ever, this massive US airstrike on Iran's nuclear sites
where they had no idea we were coming. It may
have been like top five of all time from what
I'm hearing military military strikes ever pulled off, this may
be one of the top five from what I'm hearing
(10:10):
folks in the no saying ex coordinated with Israel involving
stealth bombers, bunker busters. It barely scratched the surface. That's
what we're supposed to believe, all of a sudden. Now
they're even hedging their conversation here in fact when they said,
although it did it did do damage, it just didn't
do as much damage as they're saying it did. Then
(10:32):
why do we have a ceasefire? This is so blatant
and obvious on the top surface of it. If it
wasn't as bad as we've been pulled Okay, if it
wasn't and there and these reports are right, we wouldn't
have a ceasefire right now. Neither a ran nor Israel
(10:56):
would stop fighting either one. So we're supposed to believe
that not only did Trump lie to US, but Israel
their intelligence officials got it wrong too, so they barely
(11:16):
scratched usself. And yet magically both around in Israel both
agree to a ceasefire within forty eight hours. This is
the latest toes just like Russian collusion. It's just like
mostly peaceful protests. The media now is trying to downplay
this because it's a major Trump win. If the strikes
were useless, you wouldn't be scrambling around anyway to move uranium.
(11:37):
They wouldn't begging for a break. Israel wouldn't stop bombing,
and the IAEA wouldn't be in the dark when it
comes to where do uranium go. It's not just spin,
its narrative warfare, and I believe it's treason. In fact,
these people know what they're doing. If the US strikes
(11:59):
truly did nothing, why would they rush to the table.
Why would they hurry to get this done? Iran has
historically only de escalated under serious pressure. If the nuclear
program was untouched, they'd double down, not back down. They'd
be out there showing us pictures of it. Look at
(12:20):
the they barely got us. Well, they couldn't do anything.
And what did they do because they said, we have
to show something, we have to show some sort of strength.
So they they attack, try to attack a couple of bases,
and they warned. They call and Warren and hey, we're
gonna we're gonna we're gonna launch something. We're not gonna
do any it's not really gonna hit anything, but we
just gotta warn you that that's coming. This is so
obvious on so many levels to anybody who's been paying
(12:43):
attention at all, anybody who has any connection with Rihanna.
Problem is is that Democrats don't. The problem is that
people at mainstream mainline ms dn C and CNN twenty
four to seven, they don't. They don't have a clue
what's real and what is it? They think men can
have babies. That's that's the world we're living in. So
that's why the hoax works. When you are truly deranged,
(13:04):
you believe anything that they say as long as it
hits it it's intended target, which is Trump. Here's another example,
I think number two of why I believe we're watching
the latest hoaks play out. Damage control, damage control equals
real damage. The very fact that Iran claimed the uranium
(13:27):
was relocated but can't say where, and the IAEA said
they've lost track. They've lost track of nine hundred pounds
of enriched uranium. Well, I'll tell you where it is.
It's blown up. You saw it blow up in the
video that we saw come out. That's where it was
relocated to. It tells you something was hit and hit hard.
(13:48):
When you lose track of that much material, it isn't routine.
It's a crisis they know. And this latest hoax is
getting perpetuated every half hour here on this radio station.
It's getting perpetuated all all over the headlines and all
over the news today. It's just stupid. And that's why
I'm so offended by it, because here we go again,
and the people that shouldn't be falling forward are. So
(14:13):
when you present this information, you've got to present it
and say, look, this is what's an unnamed sources. They're
probably the same unnamed sources that brought you the hunter
Budden's laptop isn't real hoax? The Russian disinformation, you remember
all of that stuff that that's the same people that
are saying this. So you believe it or not, but
(14:35):
it's the lead story because people want to, oh, no,
what happened. And then the problem is you get people
that are commenting our public, people that are part of
delivering this stuff. They have no idea because it's just
not something that they even pay attention to that much.
You got news readers telling you the story here instead
of people to actually understand and know the news. And
I'm sorry, I'm not saying anything that's new. And you
(14:58):
if you listen to this program, well you've listened to
talk radio or you have been I don't know conscious
at least for more than just a year or so.
You know, you know, you see right, I'm preaching to
the choir. I get it. I get it, I get it,
I understand. I look. I've got a number of these,
by the way, I've got a number of them. And
(15:18):
the next one targets CNN. I've got probably three more.
I want to make these points of why this whole
thing's a hoax. Listen, do me a favorite right now.
Don't go anywhere unless you pick up the phone and
tell somebody else to listen to this, because I got
three more I want to get to. But I gotta,
I gotta, I gotta get a quick break in here.
So let me do that and then I'll come back
(15:39):
and tell you what I get. Warning, don't fall for it.
It's just the latest talks. We'll reveal it and why,
and i'll break it down all coming up. Plus we
talk to Rep. Steve Carr today. What happened with Joscelyn Benson. Yeah,
we got the mayor's race in New York City, and
I think I've got some good news. A lot of
people who probably wouldn't agree with me on the but
(16:00):
I'll tell you why. I think it's good news. Coming
up in just moments. Folks, don't go anywhere dot Com.
I'll back get it and you can join the program
at any time. Six one, six seven, seven twenty four
the iHeartRadio app. Just click that microphone next to the
playback feature, air the play button and there you get
(16:21):
it on the air. Comment complain uh in a critique?
What way we're up for all of it? All right?
Number three, I'm going through the five, the big five
reasons why this latest hokus just busted. The hoax is uh, Yeah,
they got it. They hit that, They hit this, the
nuclear spots in Iran. But oh, they didn't really do
(16:43):
as much damage as they said now just released moments ago.
By the way, Iran's nuclear program set back many years.
This comes from Israel intelligence, so maybe we'll get that
added into our news this morning. But it is a
it is a straight up mainstream hoaxed this morning. And
(17:03):
I'm telling you I've got nothing better than this number
three here for you on the my points here to
make it. I think see it in citing their anonymous
sources again, anytime you hear that, you know it's boloney,
a leak, anonymous sources. Sure, So the same people behind
(17:25):
the Hunter Biden laptop now that thing's not real Russian collusion.
All the rest of the same people want us to
believe this time they're telling the truth. Uh huh, back
with more after this, backed at it powered by mentality today,
I want to tell you why this latest hoax is
a hoax. And I got a few more points to make.
(17:46):
And then Rep. Steve Kara joins us, and he's got
the latest. Speaking of busted, she was in front of
the Oversight hearing yesterday, Joscelyn Ben's we'll have the latest
coming up and just start just a moment. But first,
(18:07):
you know, your body's trying to tell you something. That
edge you used to have the energy, the strength to drive.
It's fading. Not your fault. Testosteron levels, and men have
dropped every generation in normal ranges. They lie. That's why
over twenty thousand men have come to mentality because normal
doesn't build legacies. Look, we need you in the fight.
We need you to be the best husbands and the
best fathers, the best in your calling on a daily basis.
(18:28):
If you've been waiting for a sign, this may be it.
Nothing's gonna change unless you do. So go to mentalityhealth
dot com slash radio. That's mentalityhealth dot com slash radio,
and take your life back. We need you. We need
you in the fight, all right, So let me get through.
I got I said. I made five points here why
(18:50):
we believe this latest toss a hoax? Just to help
you wrap your head around it. I mean I can
tell just by hearing it. But this idea that yes,
such Trump and we did this amazing strike in Iran,
we got the nuclear somebody they're just they did do
some damage, but just not enough and then only take
them three months. First of how in the world. Would
they even know at this point, not quickly, oh just
(19:12):
just a few months. It just that's all it was.
That's why I believe. Also, these hoaxes are so dumb.
I mean, this is literally what doesn't accomplish. They just
try to take a little bit of the shine off
of this thing. The same people that told you Hunter
Biden's laptop was real, the same people behind the Russian
ause of that stuff, the Russian Rushi Rooks, all that,
(19:33):
all of the hoaxes, they're the ones who try to
tell us now that this is the case. So here's
what I broke down for you. Number One, ceasefires don't
happen without leverage. There's no way. Israel Iran both come
to the table within forty eight hours. Then they're keeping
it now. If this wasn't real and they did significant damage,
it's just no way. Number Two, damage control equals real
(19:55):
damage a very fact. Iran claimed the uranium was relocated,
but they can't say where. Nobody can find it. That
nearly nine hundred pounds of enriched uranium tells you something
was hit and was hit hard. I'll tell you where
it was relocated, relocated into the atmosphere probably CNN citing
(20:15):
anonymous sources. Yet again, Number three, it's always a red flag.
The Pentagon leak conveniently under cups Trump and after a
major military success, notice the timing, Trump announces total destruction.
CNN rushes in to say, actually, no, not really, and
they didn't even want to report it as it was
being reported on the air, the ceasefire. Remember that Anderson Cooper,
(20:40):
they had to go back and Kelly, they had to
go through with the am But actually, though, we are
getting word now that this is reel and none of
this makes if you really wrap your head around at
number four, Israel wouldn't pause unless they saw real results.
They've been launching major air strikes independently before the US
was involved. They said they'll act alone if needed. To
(21:03):
ask yourself, really, what Israel, of all nasues agreed to
a cease fire unless they saw significant impact on the
Iranian nuclear threat. No, it's highly unlikely. Number five is
Iran's regime saving face. Iran's leadership may be pretending nothing
serious happened, likely to avoid panic or unrest, but their
(21:23):
behavior scrambling to move materials, agreeing to a ceasefire sudden
silence that tells the real story. Bottom line, you don't
call a time out if you're winning. Both Iran and
Israel agreeing to a ceasefire tells you everything you need
to know. And that's obvious to me. And I can't
believe we'll even have to say this, but we we
will because the other voices are so loud and so repetitive.
(21:44):
On CNN, MSD and C thirteen and the rest the
strike's work. Media spin is trying to walk it back
to hurt Trump. They can't stand that he got another
big win and probably avoided World War iie, remember that,
Oh it's gonna be World War three. Well, either that
or he just avoided it. And in a heartbeat, all right. Rep.
(22:07):
Steve Carra joins us. Now, Rep. I appreciate you taking
the time to be here with us. Lots to work
through the day, but yesterday was a big day in
fact and Lancing. You guys had hearings Jocelyn Busons, Secretary
of State. They're in the hot seat, and of course
she kind of got busted. It looks like she was
getting some help from behind the scenes on some of
(22:28):
the questions that she was trying to answer. We've got
that story, but we're also learning that she just stayed
mom on a few things as well. Welcome in, I
appreciate you.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
Being here, Hey, thanks for having me jobs.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
So let's first, let's start with this. What was the
reason why did she come in? I know, they get
this website that's pretty much worthless that she hadn't been
able to put together. And of course I keep wondering,
you know, if you failed the job a secretary of state,
you know, the weights are very long if you can
get in, and that's just like sort of the price
(23:05):
to entry. Forget all the times that she's been accused
of break in the lawn. Of course she has caught
red handed over and over and over again when it
comes to election issues. You know, if you can't do
that job, why do you think we would promote you
the governor.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
That's a great question. And one of the points I
made she has more unfavorable election related lawsuits than any
other secretary of state on record history, and she doesn't
want to fact. But one of the one of the
things that I brought up was she bs a document
(23:44):
to the oversight committee. It was presented to me about
ten minutes maybe started. It was just over four pages,
but it talked about the total implementation costs for this
new m I T NYT website, which is where we
do our financial disclosers, lobbyists and we just have our
(24:06):
records for financials for elected officials so that there's transparency
in terms of where people are getting money going much
money they have. So they changed over to Mitton was
the plan, but that was supposed to be done back
in Breacky to roll up. Well. Unfortunately, earlier this year
they were having so many problems that they needed an extension.
(24:29):
They needed to spend more money. They had to come
back and make fixes. But the initial implementation was one
point seven million dollars. And I had asked people to
go in testimony, how many went into that one point
seven million?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
They rep I got it. I hate to do it,
but you're cutting out here. Let me let me put
you on hold. I'm gonna see if we can get
our producer Adam to pick him up and see if
we can get him on another line or something. I
hate this is important stuff. I just want to make
sure Michigan. The Secretary of State Joscelyn Benson in the
Oversight Committee hearing yesterday, turning it into the political circus
(25:07):
in some ways, so fielding tough questions about her botched
roll out of a new election system, which again is
part of what he was just talking about. There caught
on camera. You know, you can't make this stuff up.
Caught on camera, sharp eyed photographers there caught her team
(25:29):
feeding her answers live through a private chat. I guess
that's how she wants to govern. If she's elected governor here,
she'll just have George Soros or somebody pushing her, you know,
and texting her answers for whatever question she might have.
Republicans say it looked more like a stage production than
(25:51):
real testimony, and it comes as her forty four million
dollar mitn that's the Minton platform ste was just talking about,
played with glitches and transparency issues under fire. Tyler Technology,
the vendor behind it, has already issued refunds, but critics
aren't buying the damage controlling Benson, as I mentioned, eyeing
a twenty twenty six run for governor, this debacle raising
(26:12):
some serious red flags. And you were just talking about Rep.
I appreciate we get you back on one point seven million.
Is that correct?
Speaker 6 (26:21):
That was the total implementation costs for their initial rollout
with ten four hundred and sixty one man hours going
into that. So I just made the point that was
one hundred and sixty three dollars per hour? Is the
audio better?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Yeah? A little bit, little bit okay, and so one.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Hundred and fifty three dollars per per hour is pretty expensive. Well,
I just thought that those were the numbers she gave us,
those were her own records. I thought she'd just accept
those numbers back and we could have a cotation. But
she was like, oh, well, thank you, representative, but there's
actually upset numbers, and she tried to divert. Well, the
(27:02):
oppotated numbers are because they had to go back and
fake the mistakes they made in the past, which was
more than hours more cost, and it changes numbers. I said,
I'm not looking for the total costs. I'm looking for
the total implementation costs of what it was out of
the gate, and they just they weren't having anything to do.
We're trying to confuse the situation. I wouldn't let them
(27:24):
do it, and pretty bad through the process.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Un Though she was asked point blank, after all of
this's going on, what vot of confidence can you give
Michigan voters. Instead of answering, she pivoted to tell her
record on government reform. Listen, this goes again to the
idea that she could be qualified to become the governor
(27:49):
of the state at all. She says, we're continuing to
take on massive systems transformed to make Michigan's government more accessible, transparent,
cost effective, and secure. Just to me, hasn't proved she's
been able to do that at all. This let us
botched roll out some of the legal troubles she's had,
the lawsuits, et cetera, and refusing to reassure us, you know,
(28:11):
voters here in Michigan about the fact that she can't
just can't be trusted. I think it's going to take
a toll on her campaign. I think folks here in
Michigan on a demand answers, what's your take on that?
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Absolutely all of the all those things. Plus she announced
her campaign from the taxpayer funded building and that was
a game, and you're not allowed to use resources for
campaign efforts. And I asked her, that was my last
question to her, said, if you were to apologize for
this mitt and screw up all these elections that you've had,
(28:48):
the vitation campaign from the taxpayer funded building. If you
were to apologize one of those to the people in Michigan,
which one would you apologize? And she didn't want to apologize,
of course, And you're not apologizing for and because.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Were you keep breaking up every other word there, rep
I apologize. We'll see if we can get a better phone,
uh line, something a little more clear, maybe like a
landline or something. We'll work with you off the ear.
I gotta take a quick break anyway, though, folks. It's
the latest stories you won't hear anywhere else. And I've
got more. In fact, there's a couple of big ones
that you're gonna need to hear about what happened in
(29:30):
Texas the other day. They've indicted this young man. I
guarantee this will be the next big case that they
try and push us towards interface and get us divided
as a country along racial divide. But there's more good
news I've got for you too. And that's one of
the things that happened in New York City. Yes you
didn't know. Not a lot of people excited about it.
(29:50):
This straight up socialist one of the Democrat primary to
become the mayor I'll tell you why. I think that's
actually good news. Coming up after this West Michigan Lie
will continue the after show's coming up too fastest are
on radio, flying right along. Don't go anywhere. Stick with us, folks.
(30:15):
They keep me moving all summer long. My girls, that is,
they're foreign too, and we are having so much fun
each and every day, even.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
In the heat.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
And you know what keeps me on my feet uncomfortable.
The Good Feed Store. And I walked in with leg pain,
back pain, foot pain, and you name it. And now
I'm pain free because of the Good Feet Store. I
feel more balanced, more stable, my body just functions better,
and I can finally enjoy all the activities without having
to pay for it. Later you can't too. Possibly you
(30:46):
go in and check it out and see if it's
right for you at a Good Feet Store at a
twenty eighth Street right in front of Costco, or in
Portage on Westage in front of Coles. Come in and
experience the good feet feeling for yourself at the Good
Feet Store. Live life, and you can do it to

Speaker 1 (31:02):
Breaking down the story, It's West Michigan Live with Justin
Barklay on news Radio Wood thirteen hundred and one oh
six nine a FM.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Here are your headlines from the midwestern Er this Wednesday,
June twenty fifth. I'm Robin Poffman. Her record is going
to be hard to run on under Democrat Governor Whimer's leadership.
Unemployment here in Michigan remains the second highest nationally for
the third month in a row. Michigan's jobless rate at
five point four percent in May. More negative news for
(31:32):
the governor. A new wallet Hub survey finds residents here
in Michigan more dependent on government than residents of thirty
nine other states.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
The last thing they want to do is enrich anything.
Right now, they want to recover, and we won't let
that happen. Number One, militarily, we will.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
President Trump in the Netherlands for the NATO summit. He's
speaking about the US air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities,
saying they were a complete success, despite a report on
far left CNNA that they were not.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
I believe it was total obliteration.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
I believe they didn't have a chance to get anything
out because we acted fast.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
If it would have taken two weeks, maybe, but it's
very hard to remove that kind of.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Material for these stories and more. Visit the Midwesterner at
the Midwesterner dot news.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
So, a straight up socialist was just won the Democrat
primary mayoral race there in New York City. Uh, you
got Curtis Slee, Well, who's a Republican. They got him
on Fox News this morning, and I think they also
talked with Mayor Eric Adams earlier as well today. Sleeve
was a republic so he's on the other side of
the aisle. And Adams was a Democrat. Remember, he decided
(32:41):
to become an independent because they came after him, particularly
the Biden administration, when he said, look this all this
illegal immigration, all this stuff. You're bringing these people here
to the city. It's crippling the city. I mean, it's
it's killing us. So Zoran mom Donnie, a thirty three
year old Democrat, socialist and New York State Assembly member,
just pulled off stunning upset, they say, in the New
(33:02):
York Democratic mayor primary, overtaking former Governor Andrew Cuomo with
roughly forty three and a half percent the Cuomo's thirty
six point four percent of first choice. They had their
ranked choice voting there too, which is another boondoggle in
the scheme. Strong grassroots support backed by figures like Barney Sanders,
AOC and cross endorsements from blad Lander Ma'amdami now presumptive nominee.
(33:27):
If victory holds through rank choice tabulation expected next week,
he'll be New York Cities first Muslim mayor and a
bold test case for progressive government on a one hundred
and fifteen billion dollar budget. It'll be the end of
New York City. And why once and for all, maybe
it'll put an end to this. I know people have
short memories, but he ran this campaign. I'm telling you, folks,
(33:51):
keep running. Democrats, keep running like this, and then you're
gonna run people out of New York City. And why
I think it's good news is because the rest of the
party's doing the same thing, AOC, Bernie the Squad. They're
all running things and look how ridiculous they look to
the rest of the world. In fact they are. They
keep running further to the left, and people will keep
(34:12):
running from the Democrat Party. Meanwhile, you got President Trump
over here, peace through strength, the economic wins, making America
great again. It's everything the Democrat Party used to be
or really wistered. I hope they could be. And folks,
it'll help us down the road in the meantime short term.
You're in New York City, I'm sorry I would I
(34:36):

what matters most to you when West Michigan joined the
conversation Now at six one six seven seven four twenty

twenty four twenty four. It's West Michigan Live with Justin
Barklay on Wood Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Welcome in Fucus. Don't fall for it. Whatever you do.
We've been here before, We've seen it, we know it,
and you know it. Just it never ceases to amaze
me when I try to pull this out, but particularly
in a time like now. I mean, it's the popes
(01:03):
and attack on the president, and unfortunately, I think it's
an attack on our brave men and women in the
fight too, and I'm gonna tell you what I'm talking about,
and I've even heard it here this morning. I'm setting
a record straight so you understand it and understand what's
driving it all.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Coming up news, weather and traffic. I'm 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 (01:35):
Big three is probably my our good friends at Hard
Little Mortgage. Jim got Away in a team when he
want to buy refine home, make what a lot of
credits a reverse mortgage. They've got you set up. They've
got custom plans for reaching every individual. And your needs
are different than mine, So give Dave and the team
of call. They're gonna walk you through it. They're faster,
they're better than the big banks, and more integrity. I'll
(01:57):
tell you that much. These guys, they are part of
the community and they meet it HHM lending dot Com number.
It's a hunks another one and I'm about to reveal it.
So stand by the ceasefire. Back on yesterday, we had
the stories. The firing continued between Iran and Israel. President
(02:18):
Trump dropping bombs of his own yesterday f bombs, getting
those two back on track after a phone call. It
seems like on the way over to the hag there
in the Netherlands for the meeting with NATO, which he's
still at now. We'll have more on that a little
bit later on this morning. But the mainstream media is
so torn up about everything that's happening in Round and
(02:39):
the ceasefire itself, that they've rolled out the latest hugs,
CNN claiming a top secret Pentagon assessment revealing the US
strikes on Iran's nuclear sites. Operation Midnight Hammer only delayed
the program by a few months, it didn't fully destroy it. Now,
(02:59):
there's a number of reasons why this is the biggest
load of baloney that you'll hear all day long. And
it's wild to me that I think that we're still
hearing it on even this radio station. I'm gonna you're
gonna hear it all day long. So I'm gonna parse
through it and tell you why this this just doesn't
(03:19):
add up. Busted. Joscelyn Benson ads feeding the Secretary of
State Info and folks she was testifying with yesterday chat
at the Oversight Committee hearing. They got her caught on
tape and the photos are wild as well. We've got
that coming up in a conversation with Rep. Steve Carra,
(03:41):
who was there in the mix. You'll hear that all,
plus what was inside of the testimony discovered. Of course
they asked to asked her several different questions. She's trying
to well, she's trying to recreate that infamous win of
Katie Hobbs Critaria State in Arizona, who rigged her way
(04:02):
to becoming governor. That's what we're watching, a couple of
Soros operators, the same playbook, I'll explained. And speaking of
elections with consequences, you know, rigged elections have even worse consequences.
And that's with the FBI. Now we're starting to find
(04:23):
out Cash Ptell and Dan Bongino blowing the whistle. We're
finding out that leaders in the FBI hit evidence of
Chinese interference in the twenty twenty election. I had a
conversation about this that you'll hear in our podcast this weekend.
Ryan Kelly, do you remember speaking of interfering in an election?
The guy they brought up on Trump up charges, You
(04:44):
remember this, he had a misdemeanor they rated us on. The
FBI brought out a helicopter of all things. The inside
story like you've never heard it coming up this weekend,
so stay tuned for that. We had a great conversation
Ryan and I and it's just another one that's very
proud to be able to bring you coming up and
digging into the details about the rigged election and how
(05:08):
they went so far to hide all of the information.
All coming up this morning. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Call 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 a f m.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
All right, so let's break it down the latest Hoaks.
I've read it all morning long and on multiple sources. Folks,
it's just complete belong anybody that has two brain cells
clicking together can figure this out. Oh so you're telling
me that the same people. These are the same folks,
by the way, this is the intelligence community, same folks.
(05:49):
All those people that sign that letter that the Hunter
Biden laptop isn't real. We're supposed to all of a
sudden believe these people whistleblowers post to all of a
sudden believe him. Now here's why I'm not buying it.
It's just a load of malooney in this. It's clear.
It's clear to me, and I, like I said, anybody
(06:10):
that's capable of at all of critical thinking should be
able to understand this. The White House calling the report
flat out wrong and meanwhile to add insult to injury,
which shows the hoax to be even I think more ridiculous.
(06:30):
The US intelligence community also said they've they they have
found now that Iran did not move nuclear materials. That
was the Hawks yesterday and well they well they got them,
they bombed them, but they've moved all that. Where did
all the nuclear material go? They had our heads up,
they got it out in time. Where did it go?
Now we're finding out now that that wasn't the case?
(06:53):
So where did it go? That's part of the that's
part of the the pieces of the puzzle that you
can put together here with me, and I'm going to
tell you it's this stuff to me is so simple,
it's so easy. Meanwhile, Middle East Envoy Steve Whindkoff has
a word for all of this. If there was leaking
and regardless of the information, whether it was true or not.
(07:18):
He says, it's plain and simple. He calls it treason.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
We're talking about with this leaked intel report.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Well, it goes without saying that that leaking that type
of information, whatever the information, whatever side it comes out on,
is outrageous. It's it's trasoness. So it ought to be
investigated and whoever did it, whoever is responsible for it,
should have been held, should be held accountable. It could
hurt lives in the future. Leaking is a completely unacceptable thing.
(07:49):
But let me give you because I've read all the
damage assessment reports from not just our government but from
other governments, and I'm not going to get into anything
that's top secret. But let me tell you for sure
what happened here. There were three there are three distinct
facilities in Iran that we were concerned with, Isfahan, which
is a conversion facility. You cannot weaponize unless you have
(08:13):
a what's called the conversion process at the beginning of
enrichment and then a conversion process to metallicide.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
We're talking about what this leaked, all right, So.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Let's pause him there. I agree whether it's accurate information
or not, Either way it comes out. This is what
agreed treason. And we got to remember you're in the
era of find out, folks. You fool around, you're gonna
find out now. So let's break this down. Why do
I believe it's the latest tokes? And again, why do
(08:45):
I think it matters? Because they can't stand it. They
can't stand that he was able to pull this off.
They can't stand that Trump was able to I've told
you yesterday. These democrats, the mainstream media types, you know,
the talking heads, the Anderson Cooper's, the like. You know,
these people, they don't want peace. They'd rather have death
(09:06):
than have Donald Trump be wrong. That's what it is.
They want death. They want Donald Trump to be wrong.
They don't want peace. If peace comes at the price
of Donald Trump being right, they will choose death on
massive skip because that's the level of their derangement. There's
a reason they call it Trump arrangements. But these people
(09:27):
are not well. And you know who I'm talking about.
It's every single one of them on your friend's list
or online that pops in the social media wants to
comment on this, that or the other thing, and they're
all ill informed, misinformed, disinformed, whatever you want to call
it ignorant, just flat out all together. So break down
the hups with me. We're supposed to believe, all of
(09:49):
a sudden that a massive and the biggest of its
kind ever, this massive US airstrike on Iran's nuclear sites
where they had no idea we were coming. It may
have been like top five of all time from what
I'm hearing military military strikes ever pulled off, this may
be one of the top five from what I'm hearing
(10:10):
folks in the no saying ex coordinated with Israel involving
stealth bombers, bunker busters. It barely scratched the surface. That's
what we're supposed to believe, all of a sudden. Now
they're even hedging their conversation here in fact when they said,
although it did it did do damage, it just didn't
do as much damage as they're saying it did. Then
(10:32):
why do we have a ceasefire? This is so blatant
and obvious on the top surface of it. If it
wasn't as bad as we've been pulled Okay, if it
wasn't and there and these reports are right, we wouldn't
have a ceasefire right now. Neither a ran nor Israel
(10:56):
would stop fighting either one. So we're supposed to believe
that not only did Trump lie to US, but Israel
their intelligence officials got it wrong too, so they barely
(11:16):
scratched usself. And yet magically both around in Israel both
agree to a ceasefire within forty eight hours. This is
the latest toes just like Russian collusion. It's just like
mostly peaceful protests. The media now is trying to downplay
this because it's a major Trump win. If the strikes
were useless, you wouldn't be scrambling around anyway to move uranium.
(11:37):
They wouldn't begging for a break. Israel wouldn't stop bombing,
and the IAEA wouldn't be in the dark when it
comes to where do uranium go. It's not just spin,
its narrative warfare, and I believe it's treason. In fact,
these people know what they're doing. If the US strikes
(11:59):
truly did nothing, why would they rush to the table.
Why would they hurry to get this done? Iran has
historically only de escalated under serious pressure. If the nuclear
program was untouched, they'd double down, not back down. They'd
be out there showing us pictures of it. Look at
(12:20):
the they barely got us. Well, they couldn't do anything.
And what did they do because they said, we have
to show something, we have to show some sort of strength.
So they they attack, try to attack a couple of bases,
and they warned. They call and Warren and hey, we're
gonna we're gonna we're gonna launch something. We're not gonna
do any it's not really gonna hit anything, but we
just gotta warn you that that's coming. This is so
obvious on so many levels to anybody who's been paying
(12:43):
attention at all, anybody who has any connection with Rihanna.
Problem is is that Democrats don't. The problem is that
people at mainstream mainline ms dn C and CNN twenty
four to seven, they don't. They don't have a clue
what's real and what is it? They think men can
have babies. That's that's the world we're living in. So
that's why the hoax works. When you are truly deranged,
(13:04):
you believe anything that they say as long as it
hits it it's intended target, which is Trump. Here's another example,
I think number two of why I believe we're watching
the latest hoaks play out. Damage control, damage control equals
real damage. The very fact that Iran claimed the uranium
(13:27):
was relocated but can't say where, and the IAEA said
they've lost track. They've lost track of nine hundred pounds
of enriched uranium. Well, I'll tell you where it is.
It's blown up. You saw it blow up in the
video that we saw come out. That's where it was
relocated to. It tells you something was hit and hit hard.
(13:48):
When you lose track of that much material, it isn't routine.
It's a crisis they know. And this latest hoax is
getting perpetuated every half hour here on this radio station.
It's getting perpetuated all all over the headlines and all
over the news today. It's just stupid. And that's why
I'm so offended by it, because here we go again,
and the people that shouldn't be falling forward are. So
(14:13):
when you present this information, you've got to present it
and say, look, this is what's an unnamed sources. They're
probably the same unnamed sources that brought you the hunter
Budden's laptop isn't real hoax? The Russian disinformation, you remember
all of that stuff that that's the same people that
are saying this. So you believe it or not, but
(14:35):
it's the lead story because people want to, oh, no,
what happened. And then the problem is you get people
that are commenting our public, people that are part of
delivering this stuff. They have no idea because it's just
not something that they even pay attention to that much.
You got news readers telling you the story here instead
of people to actually understand and know the news. And
I'm sorry, I'm not saying anything that's new. And you
(14:58):
if you listen to this program, well you've listened to
talk radio or you have been I don't know conscious
at least for more than just a year or so.
You know, you know, you see right, I'm preaching to
the choir. I get it. I get it, I get it,
I understand. I look. I've got a number of these,
by the way, I've got a number of them. And
(15:18):
the next one targets CNN. I've got probably three more.
I want to make these points of why this whole
thing's a hoax. Listen, do me a favorite right now.
Don't go anywhere unless you pick up the phone and
tell somebody else to listen to this, because I got
three more I want to get to. But I gotta,
I gotta, I gotta get a quick break in here.
So let me do that and then I'll come back
(15:39):
and tell you what I get. Warning, don't fall for it.
It's just the latest talks. We'll reveal it and why,
and i'll break it down all coming up. Plus we
talk to Rep. Steve Carr today. What happened with Joscelyn Benson. Yeah,
we got the mayor's race in New York City, and
I think I've got some good news. A lot of
people who probably wouldn't agree with me on the but
(16:00):
I'll tell you why. I think it's good news. Coming
up in just moments. Folks, don't go anywhere dot Com.
I'll back get it and you can join the program
at any time. Six one, six seven, seven twenty four
the iHeartRadio app. Just click that microphone next to the
playback feature, air the play button and there you get
(16:21):
it on the air. Comment complain uh in a critique?
What way we're up for all of it? All right?
Number three, I'm going through the five, the big five
reasons why this latest hokus just busted. The hoax is uh, Yeah,
they got it. They hit that, They hit this, the
nuclear spots in Iran. But oh, they didn't really do
(16:43):
as much damage as they said now just released moments ago.
By the way, Iran's nuclear program set back many years.
This comes from Israel intelligence, so maybe we'll get that
added into our news this morning. But it is a
it is a straight up mainstream hoaxed this morning. And
(17:03):
I'm telling you I've got nothing better than this number
three here for you on the my points here to
make it. I think see it in citing their anonymous
sources again, anytime you hear that, you know it's boloney,
a leak, anonymous sources. Sure, So the same people behind
(17:25):
the Hunter Biden laptop now that thing's not real Russian collusion.
All the rest of the same people want us to
believe this time they're telling the truth. Uh huh, back
with more after this, backed at it powered by mentality today,
I want to tell you why this latest hoax is
a hoax. And I got a few more points to make.
(17:46):
And then Rep. Steve Kara joins us, and he's got
the latest. Speaking of busted, she was in front of
the Oversight hearing yesterday, Joscelyn Ben's we'll have the latest
coming up and just start just a moment. But first,
(18:07):
you know, your body's trying to tell you something. That
edge you used to have the energy, the strength to drive.
It's fading. Not your fault. Testosteron levels, and men have
dropped every generation in normal ranges. They lie. That's why
over twenty thousand men have come to mentality because normal
doesn't build legacies. Look, we need you in the fight.
We need you to be the best husbands and the
best fathers, the best in your calling on a daily basis.
(18:28):
If you've been waiting for a sign, this may be it.
Nothing's gonna change unless you do. So go to mentalityhealth
dot com slash radio. That's mentalityhealth dot com slash radio,
and take your life back. We need you. We need
you in the fight, all right, So let me get through.
I got I said. I made five points here why
(18:50):
we believe this latest toss a hoax? Just to help
you wrap your head around it. I mean I can
tell just by hearing it. But this idea that yes,
such Trump and we did this amazing strike in Iran,
we got the nuclear somebody they're just they did do
some damage, but just not enough and then only take
them three months. First of how in the world. Would
they even know at this point, not quickly, oh just
(19:12):
just a few months. It just that's all it was.
That's why I believe. Also, these hoaxes are so dumb.
I mean, this is literally what doesn't accomplish. They just
try to take a little bit of the shine off
of this thing. The same people that told you Hunter
Biden's laptop was real, the same people behind the Russian
ause of that stuff, the Russian Rushi Rooks, all that,
(19:33):
all of the hoaxes, they're the ones who try to
tell us now that this is the case. So here's
what I broke down for you. Number One, ceasefires don't
happen without leverage. There's no way. Israel Iran both come
to the table within forty eight hours. Then they're keeping
it now. If this wasn't real and they did significant damage,
it's just no way. Number Two, damage control equals real
(19:55):
damage a very fact. Iran claimed the uranium was relocated,
but they can't say where. Nobody can find it. That
nearly nine hundred pounds of enriched uranium tells you something
was hit and was hit hard. I'll tell you where
it was relocated, relocated into the atmosphere probably CNN citing
(20:15):
anonymous sources. Yet again, Number three, it's always a red flag.
The Pentagon leak conveniently under cups Trump and after a
major military success, notice the timing, Trump announces total destruction.
CNN rushes in to say, actually, no, not really, and
they didn't even want to report it as it was
being reported on the air, the ceasefire. Remember that Anderson Cooper,
(20:40):
they had to go back and Kelly, they had to
go through with the am But actually, though, we are
getting word now that this is reel and none of
this makes if you really wrap your head around at
number four, Israel wouldn't pause unless they saw real results.
They've been launching major air strikes independently before the US
was involved. They said they'll act alone if needed. To
(21:03):
ask yourself, really, what Israel, of all nasues agreed to
a cease fire unless they saw significant impact on the
Iranian nuclear threat. No, it's highly unlikely. Number five is
Iran's regime saving face. Iran's leadership may be pretending nothing
serious happened, likely to avoid panic or unrest, but their
(21:23):
behavior scrambling to move materials, agreeing to a ceasefire sudden
silence that tells the real story. Bottom line, you don't
call a time out if you're winning. Both Iran and
Israel agreeing to a ceasefire tells you everything you need
to know. And that's obvious to me. And I can't
believe we'll even have to say this, but we we
will because the other voices are so loud and so repetitive.
(21:44):
On CNN, MSD and C thirteen and the rest the
strike's work. Media spin is trying to walk it back
to hurt Trump. They can't stand that he got another
big win and probably avoided World War iie, remember that,
Oh it's gonna be World War three. Well, either that
or he just avoided it. And in a heartbeat, all right. Rep.
(22:07):
Steve Carra joins us. Now, Rep. I appreciate you taking
the time to be here with us. Lots to work
through the day, but yesterday was a big day in
fact and Lancing. You guys had hearings Jocelyn Busons, Secretary
of State. They're in the hot seat, and of course
she kind of got busted. It looks like she was
getting some help from behind the scenes on some of
(22:28):
the questions that she was trying to answer. We've got
that story, but we're also learning that she just stayed
mom on a few things as well. Welcome in, I
appreciate you.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
Being here, Hey, thanks for having me jobs.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
So let's first, let's start with this. What was the
reason why did she come in? I know, they get
this website that's pretty much worthless that she hadn't been
able to put together. And of course I keep wondering,
you know, if you failed the job a secretary of state,
you know, the weights are very long if you can
get in, and that's just like sort of the price
(23:05):
to entry. Forget all the times that she's been accused
of break in the lawn. Of course she has caught
red handed over and over and over again when it
comes to election issues. You know, if you can't do
that job, why do you think we would promote you
the governor.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
That's a great question. And one of the points I
made she has more unfavorable election related lawsuits than any
other secretary of state on record history, and she doesn't
want to fact. But one of the one of the
things that I brought up was she bs a document
(23:44):
to the oversight committee. It was presented to me about
ten minutes maybe started. It was just over four pages,
but it talked about the total implementation costs for this
new m I T NYT website, which is where we
do our financial disclosers, lobbyists and we just have our
(24:06):
records for financials for elected officials so that there's transparency
in terms of where people are getting money going much
money they have. So they changed over to Mitton was
the plan, but that was supposed to be done back
in Breacky to roll up. Well. Unfortunately, earlier this year
they were having so many problems that they needed an extension.
(24:29):
They needed to spend more money. They had to come
back and make fixes. But the initial implementation was one
point seven million dollars. And I had asked people to
go in testimony, how many went into that one point
seven million?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
They rep I got it. I hate to do it,
but you're cutting out here. Let me let me put
you on hold. I'm gonna see if we can get
our producer Adam to pick him up and see if
we can get him on another line or something. I
hate this is important stuff. I just want to make
sure Michigan. The Secretary of State Joscelyn Benson in the
Oversight Committee hearing yesterday, turning it into the political circus
(25:07):
in some ways, so fielding tough questions about her botched
roll out of a new election system, which again is
part of what he was just talking about. There caught
on camera. You know, you can't make this stuff up.
Caught on camera, sharp eyed photographers there caught her team
(25:29):
feeding her answers live through a private chat. I guess
that's how she wants to govern. If she's elected governor here,
she'll just have George Soros or somebody pushing her, you know,
and texting her answers for whatever question she might have.
Republicans say it looked more like a stage production than
(25:51):
real testimony, and it comes as her forty four million
dollar mitn that's the Minton platform ste was just talking about,
played with glitches and transparency issues under fire. Tyler Technology,
the vendor behind it, has already issued refunds, but critics
aren't buying the damage controlling Benson, as I mentioned, eyeing
a twenty twenty six run for governor, this debacle raising
(26:12):
some serious red flags. And you were just talking about Rep.
I appreciate we get you back on one point seven million.
Is that correct?
Speaker 6 (26:21):
That was the total implementation costs for their initial rollout
with ten four hundred and sixty one man hours going
into that. So I just made the point that was
one hundred and sixty three dollars per hour? Is the
audio better?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Yeah? A little bit, little bit okay, and so one.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Hundred and fifty three dollars per per hour is pretty expensive. Well,
I just thought that those were the numbers she gave us,
those were her own records. I thought she'd just accept
those numbers back and we could have a cotation. But
she was like, oh, well, thank you, representative, but there's
actually upset numbers, and she tried to divert. Well, the
(27:02):
oppotated numbers are because they had to go back and
fake the mistakes they made in the past, which was
more than hours more cost, and it changes numbers. I said,
I'm not looking for the total costs. I'm looking for
the total implementation costs of what it was out of
the gate, and they just they weren't having anything to do.
We're trying to confuse the situation. I wouldn't let them
(27:24):
do it, and pretty bad through the process.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Un Though she was asked point blank, after all of
this's going on, what vot of confidence can you give
Michigan voters. Instead of answering, she pivoted to tell her
record on government reform. Listen, this goes again to the
idea that she could be qualified to become the governor
(27:49):
of the state at all. She says, we're continuing to
take on massive systems transformed to make Michigan's government more accessible, transparent,
cost effective, and secure. Just to me, hasn't proved she's
been able to do that at all. This let us
botched roll out some of the legal troubles she's had,
the lawsuits, et cetera, and refusing to reassure us, you know,
(28:11):
voters here in Michigan about the fact that she can't
just can't be trusted. I think it's going to take
a toll on her campaign. I think folks here in
Michigan on a demand answers, what's your take on that?
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Absolutely all of the all those things. Plus she announced
her campaign from the taxpayer funded building and that was
a game, and you're not allowed to use resources for
campaign efforts. And I asked her, that was my last
question to her, said, if you were to apologize for
this mitt and screw up all these elections that you've had,
(28:48):
the vitation campaign from the taxpayer funded building. If you
were to apologize one of those to the people in Michigan,
which one would you apologize? And she didn't want to apologize,
of course, And you're not apologizing for and because.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Were you keep breaking up every other word there, rep
I apologize. We'll see if we can get a better phone,
uh line, something a little more clear, maybe like a
landline or something. We'll work with you off the ear.
I gotta take a quick break anyway, though, folks. It's
the latest stories you won't hear anywhere else. And I've
got more. In fact, there's a couple of big ones
that you're gonna need to hear about what happened in
(29:30):
Texas the other day. They've indicted this young man. I
guarantee this will be the next big case that they
try and push us towards interface and get us divided
as a country along racial divide. But there's more good
news I've got for you too. And that's one of
the things that happened in New York City. Yes you
didn't know. Not a lot of people excited about it.
(29:50):
This straight up socialist one of the Democrat primary to
become the mayor I'll tell you why. I think that's
actually good news. Coming up after this West Michigan Lie
will continue the after show's coming up too fastest are
on radio, flying right along. Don't go anywhere. Stick with us, folks.
(30:15):
They keep me moving all summer long. My girls, that is,
they're foreign too, and we are having so much fun
each and every day, even.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
In the heat.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
And you know what keeps me on my feet uncomfortable.
The Good Feed Store. And I walked in with leg pain,
back pain, foot pain, and you name it. And now
I'm pain free because of the Good Feet Store. I
feel more balanced, more stable, my body just functions better,
and I can finally enjoy all the activities without having
to pay for it. Later you can't too. Possibly you
(30:46):
go in and check it out and see if it's
right for you at a Good Feet Store at a
twenty eighth Street right in front of Costco, or in
Portage on Westage in front of Coles. Come in and
experience the good feet feeling for yourself at the Good
Feet Store. Live life, and you can do it to
the fullest pain free with a Good feat Store.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Breaking down the story, It's West Michigan Live with Justin
Barklay on news Radio Wood thirteen hundred and one oh
six nine a FM.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Here are your headlines from the midwestern Er this Wednesday,
June twenty fifth. I'm Robin Poffman. Her record is going
to be hard to run on under Democrat Governor Whimer's leadership.
Unemployment here in Michigan remains the second highest nationally for
the third month in a row. Michigan's jobless rate at
five point four percent in May. More negative news for
(31:32):
the governor. A new wallet Hub survey finds residents here
in Michigan more dependent on government than residents of thirty
nine other states.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
The last thing they want to do is enrich anything.
Right now, they want to recover, and we won't let
that happen. Number One, militarily, we will.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
President Trump in the Netherlands for the NATO summit. He's
speaking about the US air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities,
saying they were a complete success, despite a report on
far left CNNA that they were not.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
I believe it was total obliteration.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
I believe they didn't have a chance to get anything
out because we acted fast.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
If it would have taken two weeks, maybe, but it's
very hard to remove that kind of.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Material for these stories and more. Visit the Midwesterner at

Speaker 3 (32:17):
So, a straight up socialist was just won the Democrat
primary mayoral race there in New York City. Uh, you
got Curtis Slee, Well, who's a Republican. They got him
on Fox News this morning, and I think they also
talked with Mayor Eric Adams earlier as well today. Sleeve
was a republic so he's on the other side of
the aisle. And Adams was a Democrat. Remember, he decided
(32:41):
to become an independent because they came after him, particularly
the Biden administration, when he said, look this all this
illegal immigration, all this stuff. You're bringing these people here
to the city. It's crippling the city. I mean, it's
it's killing us. So Zoran mom Donnie, a thirty three
year old Democrat, socialist and New York State Assembly member,
just pulled off stunning upset, they say, in the New
(33:02):
York Democratic mayor primary, overtaking former Governor Andrew Cuomo with
roughly forty three and a half percent the Cuomo's thirty
six point four percent of first choice. They had their
ranked choice voting there too, which is another boondoggle in
the scheme. Strong grassroots support backed by figures like Barney Sanders,
AOC and cross endorsements from blad Lander Ma'amdami now presumptive nominee.
(33:27):
If victory holds through rank choice tabulation expected next week,
he'll be New York Cities first Muslim mayor and a
bold test case for progressive government on a one hundred
and fifteen billion dollar budget. It'll be the end of
New York City. And why once and for all, maybe
it'll put an end to this. I know people have
short memories, but he ran this campaign. I'm telling you, folks,
(33:51):
keep running. Democrats, keep running like this, and then you're
gonna run people out of New York City. And why
I think it's good news is because the rest of the
party's doing the same thing, AOC, Bernie the Squad. They're
all running things and look how ridiculous they look to
the rest of the world. In fact they are. They
keep running further to the left, and people will keep
(34:12):
running from the Democrat Party. Meanwhile, you got President Trump
over here, peace through strength, the economic wins, making America
great again. It's everything the Democrat Party used to be
or really wistered. I hope they could be. And folks,
it'll help us down the road in the meantime short term.
You're in New York City, I'm sorry I would I
(34:36):
would strongly suggest looking to get out of there as
quickly as you can. I got more and we're going
to cover it all the after show fastest you're on
radios fly by after show coming up next. You can
