Speaker 2 (00:21):
Welcome in mind expected to address to you in I'm
mid backtrack of chaos as the Middle East is on
the brink. That's the headline they're in. Fox says, I

(00:44):
the point of it here and there. Anyway, that's It's
just one of the major stories happening today. We got
a Tech Tuesday trying to join us with the latest stories.
You're definitely gonna want to hear. But first let's get
into this hues and traffic. I'm bring your stories of
the day.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
We are talking about what matters most in West Michigan
and beyond.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
This is the Big Three. No speak now the stories,
no matter of mouse, You'll be talking about these around
the watercoord the dinner table no matter where you are.
These are those stories powered by our good friends at
Heartland Home Mortgage, Dave Cataway and the team ready to
stay up and help you with any meat that you
may have. You know, the rights have been going down.
(01:29):
They starting to see that movement and it made me time.

maybe the time reach out to Dave and the crew
HHM lending dot com and they'll help you faster, better
than the vic bags and DJ release a letter to
the world from Trump's would be assassin. It appears there
(01:50):
was a bounty offered and they put that out for
the world to see. There's quite a bit of im
about this. Bill Barr himself not a huge fan of
Trump anyway. Bill Barr himself out there criticizing the move
saying like, don't think that necessarily was a good idea,
(02:11):
do you? Anyway? The story continues to develop on this,
we'll have the latest for you, and he had his
day in court yesterday. There's more coming on this stand
by speaking of court here locally back at home, as
would TV eight puts it, a man pled guilty to
killing his girlfriend. A man then dumb turned body on
(02:36):
us one thirty one. I guess there's no need to
tell us in the headline that man was here in
the country illegally. More to the story, you remember Brandon
ortiz Vite, and of course hopefully you remember his victim,
Ruby Garcia, the twenty five year old that was killed,
(02:58):
shot dead inside that car, then her body dumped out
on one point thirty one. We'll tell the story coming
up here in a little bit with the way it
should be told, at least the headline two at all
he accepted the plea deal and uh, I'll give you
the full details of it. All come out in just coffense.
I'm sure it's a story that Look, it'll get talked
(03:18):
about this week. Trump's in town. It'll be a walker
on Friday and on in the morning, and then on
the afternoon the evening he'll be in a town hall
in Warren. US grocery stores could go without popular food
within the weeks, as forty five thousand dock workers threatened
to strike. The latest story and I think is quietly
(03:42):
behind the scenes as an opportunity to become a bigger issue.
Folks really not paying attention because they're not being told.
But this will impact the holidays, This will impact a
lot of things that are coming out of the price
and everything else in the In the days ahead, we'll
keep an eye on it as well. Stick with us
for the latest on those stories and more. But first,
(04:03):
let's talk about the headlines, the way they should be,
the way they ought to be, and the way they
are right now. Now, the Detroit News called it, that
was it? It was their story. Was there a man?
But let me give you the full Let me make
sure I don't want to misquote anybody, don't want any misinformation.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Let me pull it up car Justin Now at six
one six seven seven four twenty four at six one,
six seven seven twenty four, twenty four, West Michigan Live
with Justin Barclay on News Radio Wood thirteen hundred and
one oh six nine af M.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Now, now it's gone further down there their scroll of
their feed. Now this story, did you Riat knows was
probably the worst? Man pleads guilty. That's what that's That's
all you have to do is look just go google
Brendan or tees Vita and you're gonna get You'll get
(05:02):
a whole list of these weird stories and the headlines.
If you just click on the and go click on
news and you can you'll get In fact, I'll show
everybody the behind the scenes livestream if you want to
check this out. This is what it looks like. This
is what we're This is what we're it's you know,
I didn't It's not like gonna make this stuff up.
You can see it all right. Let me see here
(05:27):
Brendan or tease Vita guilty. Here you go, guilty of Uh,
this is probably the best one. Yeah, let's let's use
this one here. Brando tees Vta pleads guilty the killing
girl girlfriend. Okay, but who's he? Man pleads guilty the
murdering Michigan girlfriend dumping her body along us one thirty one? Okay,
(05:51):
but who's the man? Boyfriend takes plead deal, admits the
dumping woman's body. Oh so it's a story of a
boyfriend dumping a girlfriend's body. That's all it's going on here.
Man said to be deported after serving decades in prison
for girlfriend's murder. That's probably the best, although it's really confusing.
Still from the newspaper and Live and then the Detroit
(06:13):
News with the absolute worst headline. Ever, man pleads guilty
the Michigan killing that stoked anti immigrant campaign rhetoric. Oh
so it really the people are really guilty are the
ones who pointed out that he's in the country illegally.
(06:40):
That was the issue, that was the real problem. It's
that that Trump, that Trump called onto this and said,
you know, well, maybe we ought to maybe we ought
to shine a light on some of these things. Maybe
you wanted to make sure. So here's what tadel we
(07:02):
start digging at, and you could that's a hand line.
Somebody writes the headline. So first of all, don't understand newspapers.
First somebody writes the story. Then somebody writes the headline.
It's usually like an editor or somebody because they're trying
to get clicks, that's what they want, or in this case,
they don't want you to know what happened at all.
You get into the story of Mexican national who is
(07:22):
in the US illegally plead guilty Monday to killing his
girlfriend and dumping her body along Michigan freeway. Well, here's
how I wrote it, Okay, because I just look, I
just tell it like it is previously deporting the illegal
immigrant who killed Ruby Garcia pleats guilty. Yeah, she was
his girlfriend, but he was in the country illegally. In fact,
(07:45):
he'd been deported already, once sent out of the country,
found his way back in for all intensive purposes. It
looks like under the Biden administration. It's horrific. It's a
tragedy either way. But please make no mistake, the fact
that this is here in the country, was here illegally
a major part of the story. And they're trying to
memory hold it. They're trying to make sure that you
(08:08):
don't know about it, you don't talk about it. It
doesn't hit the news. Why because God forbid, it might
help Donald Trump, might help Donald Trump get elected. That's
how they see the lens through all of this. Well,
it's the truth, and the truth is people are not
safe with a wide open border. This isn't xenophobic, it's
(08:31):
not racist, it's not homophobic, it's not any of the ists,
it's not misogynist, sexist, it's not any of the labels
or name calling that they want to But what it is,
it is called the truth. You're letting people in unvetted,
this is what you're going to get. And then I
(08:52):
want I say, letting them in unvetted, you don't secure
your border. This is what you're going to have. This
is what you're going to see day another story like this. Unfortunately,
this is what has happened. Pray for her family. So
now he's going to get thirty years thirty thirty seven
years is what he'll face a trial, what do they say,
(09:17):
fake trial on charge of second to be murder, carjack
and carrying it so weapon of using a firearm. The
guy should never see the light of day again. But
do you know what they're saying to us. They're saying
that they're going to essentially they're going to deport him
after he serves his sentence. I guess, I don't know.
He's never seen the light of day outside of that thing,
outside of that jail ever again. But you know they
(09:40):
if they deport this guy after he serves his time,
who knows they might just come right on back over
and kill again. That's and who knows where will be
at thirty, whether he than have a country thirty years
from I just I know, I know, I promise you
good news, I'll do some of that come up, but
a little bit too. We'll get to the good News
(10:02):
and uh yeah, we've still got tech Talk coming up
today as well.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Don't go anywhere called 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 Barklay on News Radio Wood thirteen
hundred and one oh six nine af.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
AM, flying right through on a Tuesday. It's TikTok Tuesday
as well. We'll get Trent. Can you be joining us?
Coming up in moments as well right here, West Michigan.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Live, Winking Doubt, Missing Michigan Live with Justin Barkley on
News Radio Wood thirteen hundred and one oh six nine
a f M.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
You know, Trump has been all over in his surrogates
as well, folks, throughout the campaign process here in Michigan.
It's been a big rate. We've seen what that's looked like.
And of course said there's some hope Trump's latest mills
in Michigan could crush Herris's presidential house. Mary Rook for
The Daily Caller wrote this piece and uh boy, I
thought this was something.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Hi, Gunson, thanks so much for having me.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
My pleasure here. This is kind of interesting. Some of
the things you've got in your piece, the low propensity voters,
which we've seen in effort not just with the party,
but there's some third party folks out there that are
doing that work as well. I thought very interesting. In fact,
there have been people talking about I haven't seen people
door knocking like I thought, I woulder as many people
doing so. And what's interesting is that the Lovely campaign
(11:25):
response has been yeah, because we're targeting people that generally
don't they if they would vote, they would vote our way,
but they generally don't. These are low propensity voters. Can
you explain that a little bit and why that strategy
is so key here?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
So you know, we watched in twenty twenty where Trent
lost Michigan to about one hundred and fifty four thousand votes.
It feels like a big divide, but when you break
it up to the whole state, it's really not. And
so what the Republican Party is done here is identified
between two hundred to five hundred thousand low propensity voters.
And what that means is you've got a voter that
(12:02):
is kind of included into politics. They know which way
they lean, they know you know, a person that they
would want to vote for in its election, but they
don't necessarily have the drive to get out to vote
and put their you know, and cast their ballots. So
what the Republican Party is doing is activating these voters,
you know, kind of going on a repeated call cycle
(12:22):
or knocking on their door, trying to really find the
issue that speaks to them most and activate them into
the ballot box. And you know what we're seeing on
the groundland I said, a lot of Republicans are saying
that they're seeing a lot of success with this. The
hope here is that each you know, volunteer reaches out
(12:45):
to ten people, which obviously feels like, oh, ten people,
that doesn't seem like enough. But they have, you know,
hundreds of thousands of volunteers across the state of Michigan.
And so if each one of them reaches out to
ten people and that's kind of their target audience and
they get them to election day at least three to four,
they're hoping to have success there in Michigan. And we
saw Trump win Michigan in twenty sixteen, which rocks the
(13:06):
Democratic Party because obviously it catapulted him into the White
House and I think the issue for someone like Kamala
Harris is that she is arrested on the hope that
she'd win these Great Lakes Stage states, which is obviously Michigan, Wisconsin,
and Pennsylvania. They're hoping and praying that she picks up
all three of those states. Now she's looking pretty terrible.
(13:27):
In Pennsylvania right now is looking like that's definitely going
to go for Trump, at least, you know, the Trump
campaign it feels very confident that it will. And then
if you take into the fact that Trump is now
playing very heavily into Michigan, it might felt doomed for
her with regards to twenty twenty four lotions.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
This is really something. I mean, we've been hearing people
talk about this and share what's possible. I've been talking
about it for a while, and especially in Michigan. Obviously,
this nation and where we're headed at grow out a crossroads.
We often hear in every election set that's a more
important election of our lifetime, and I really feel like
this is the case here. I not only in our lifetime,
(14:11):
but I think maybe in the history of this nation
as we look back, you know, it's not about the
next four years only. I think it may be about
the next two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Yeah, you know, you're not alone. Millions of Americans are
real kind of waking up and realizing that right now.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
A lot of them.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I think we're duped in twenty twenty to believe that
because we are going through the racial riots, because we
were going through COVID and all of those crazy scenarios,
that maybe Biden coming into office would be a reprieve
or a break from all the chaos. But what we've
found is it was an extenuation of the chaos, and
a lot of people are wanting to change in that.
(14:51):
And when you look at the polling, I mean, he's
within the margin of era. In Michigan, he's only down
two points according to the latest Emerson polling, and we
know that Emerson skewed it polling data, and you know,
he's really four points above probably with the way that
they do their pulling. And it's really hard in our
(15:12):
country to pull Trump voters. Some of these mainstream polers
have had a really difficult time finding the Trump boat.
And so but then they show up at the ballot box.
We saw him, you know, gain what was it seventy
nine to eighty million votes in twenty twenty, despite not
winning the White House. So I think that there is
a really good chance here that Trump picks up Pennsylvania
(15:34):
and possibly Michigan.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
That's fantastic news. I know, a little bit of hope
is necessary. Was talking about that last night. We'll play
a clip of that coming up here in a second.
But you also mentioned in your piece auto workers for
Trump Ryan Pannabecker, who was just on with us yesterday.
He'll be there again at the town hall on Friday.
But a massive group and a movement really from folks
in the industry, the auto industry along with the teams.
(16:01):
You're starting to see some of these big things, including
yesterday's big news was the mayor of VAM Trammick, the
Muslim mayor there coming out endorsing President Trump. All of
these things. You're really seeing Trump pick up like these
these pieces of support in areas in ways that maybe
are not so traditional.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah. I think that before this month, if you would
have told me that Trump was, you know, really in
play in Michigan, I would have maybe been a little
bit more skeptical. I mean, I was up in Michigan
the week that this first assassination attempt happened on July thirteenth,
and I did see around the Bloomfield Hills area people
(16:45):
putting out Trump signs and putting them around their yards,
and so I thought that was a really interesting thing
to happen right after the assassination attempt. And then you
kind of move forward and nothing's really budging there in Michigan,
and then all of a sudden, you're seeing the signs,
you know, like we did in twenty sixteen, that Trump
has a chance. And one of those things was the
(17:06):
Teamsters Union not coming out in support of Kamala Harris,
which we all just kind of expected to happen. They've
been supporting the Democrats for decades, so why would this
be any different. Well, I mean, if you look at
the internal pulling from the Teamsters union, we're talking about,
you know, a twenty six point drop and between Trump
(17:27):
and Kamala. I mean, some of these pollings are showing
that over fifty nine percent of the Teamsters union members
are supporting Trump in this election. And that's a pretty
stark reality, I think for you know, a union. And
then whenever you look at July polls and you see
that Biden was actually pulling better than Trump forty four
(17:49):
to thirty six percent. You know, you kind of wonder,
what are they seeing in Tamala that they didn't see
in Biden? And now why are they so excited about Trump?
And you know, then I'm sure that the Teamsters union
leaders are looking at this and going, Okay, we can't
be turning our back on our members. I mean, there
(18:09):
was this really great line from one of the UAW
union members who said a lot of them are looking
around after they endorse Kamala Harris. A lot of the
members are looking around and going, how can you sit
back and split our throats like this? And so I
think the Teamsters are trying to avoid you know, a
(18:31):
line like that showing up in the New York Times to.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
The part of our conversation and Mary earlier that I
had this morning on the Detroit Morning so you could
listen to it. The podcast up justin Barklay dot com,
the iHeartRadio up wherever you download your podcast. Mary Rook
with a Daily Caller. You can find her there on
the Daily Caller and on Twitter. Mary Rook underscore fantastic conversation,
great peace and some good news all the way. We're
(18:56):
going to detect Tuesday, Trent Kennedy joins this affordableized door
lake she can drive and stand down. My market gets
headline back on to the phone line. Before we get
to Trent Kennedy a fertalizure. Lads, you can drive and
stand down tech Tuesday, he Joince is going over to
the mullets and its first. Let's check in with John
(19:16):
and Cedar Tukey this morning. One of my favorite places. John,
how are you?
Speaker 5 (19:22):
I'm great justin. I wish I was calling in with
a little bit of a better story. I just kind
of dumps tales in with what you were talking about
with the illegal murderer who dumped bumped Ruby's body off
on the expressway. I ran it to a young lady
last night. She was in an accident Saturday before last.
(19:46):
Illegal alien, no license, no assurance, an he tea boned.
The only thing that saved her and her four children
that were in the car was the fact that it
was a a large jeep with two roll bars. One
of the children had broken arm. The two little ones
(20:08):
were blooded up from flopping around in the seats. Their
vehicle rolled four times to date, as of last night.
They were unable to get an accident report from the
state police. They will not allow them to have the
license plate number that was on the car. The car
(20:28):
was from down south, so that you get information on
the owner of the car. This is terrible, what's going on.
We bend over backwards to another note. The illegal alien
ran off and left the scene, only to come back
later with quote an interpreter, come, it's just not right
(20:51):
and people that are people smart enough? This is right
in our own backyard. This happened on seventeen Mile Road
and Sparta Avenue, which is in between Cheeter and Kent City.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Now I have the woman's name and if anybody wanted
to reach out to her, I would fay. She's in
her mid thirties. You were two traddlers in car seats
and two fourteen year olds.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Hang out with the John. Hang on the phone line,
let me see if we can get some info. Okay,
hang out for a second. Hey, Adam, will you get
John's if we can, we can get that information from
him and maybe we can see if we can do something.
I don't know. A horrific story and you hate to
(21:41):
hear it, but one that I don't think unfortunately, is
going to be all too rare before it's all sitting
down on Okay, gotta switch gears here, we gotta take Tuesday.
I'll grab some more phone calls. Coming up here in
just a little bit. But we got some stories we
want to carry today into the late in tech and
(22:01):
how it affects you and your world. This is tech
Talk Tuesday on Wood Radio's West Michigan Live. Marvelus is so,
in other words, now our car insurance is going to
go up again. Yes again, that's the keyword there, Trent.
Can it be with us at FOTA Allized Store, Lake
Michigan Drive and stand on and the folks and Crowned
are Tech joining us now for a tech Talk segment.
(22:21):
A couple of big stories in the news, tech Wise
had to make sure we got to. One of them
is banning cell phones in schools. This is like a
new thing that's picking up speed. A lot of people
are seeing this happen in there, this state, and they're
not necessarily against it. Let's get into that story coming
up here in just a little bit, Trent. But also
(22:43):
some of these other stories. Telegram, the app that was
so popular and just weeks ago, the CEO was arrested
in France. What a strange story. They said he wasn't
sharing the information that he should have been sharing with
the authorities and people to say certain things and do
certain things on that app. And essentially they didn't have control.
(23:05):
And now they seemly have cotton control because they have
rested him and all of a sudden, I don't think
it's any coincidence at all, But now Telegram has decided
to change their attack. They are now providing user information.
This would be phone numbers and IP addresses and all
(23:26):
kinds of other data to authorities when when requested. I
guess what a story Trent welcome in.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Yeah, good morning, Just an incredible story. It sounds like
they completely folded. I mean, Telegram has been brutal with
their you know, supposed policy of privacy and of basically saying, hey,
we're hands off what happens on the app, happens on
the app. We're not going to have access to that information.
We're not going to give as that information. And it
sounds like whatever they did in uh, you know, under
(23:58):
arrest the enterk whatever the mind wanders, But obviously things
have changed very very quickly.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah, this is really really interesting because if you're using
this app, I just wonder if you think, like, if
you've sold things, or done things, or had you even
said things, had conversations online with people, particularly inside that app,
and now their policies are just going to turn that
information over. Does that mean information and data moving forward
(24:30):
or would this be previous? So in other words, if
you shared some misinformation quote unquote it was not government
approved stories, narratives, information, that type of thing, could they
retroactively come back and get you. And then I'm talking
about in places like Europe and maybe even America at
some point. And what will happen to the app if
(24:52):
they throw their users under the bus, who were so
clearly only there because of this reason. If they tell
them uner the bus, what happens next.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
So as far as the data goes, whatever's publicly posted,
that shareable and on people's feeds, it's not deleted certainly
on that backward access those messages, whatever information is there
will be accessible.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
There's a lot of information though that's behind the scenes
that it's.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Not clear what will be accessible now, and that really
depends on how secure they set up their app in
the first place if they set up their app and
the servers to essentially purge that data overwrite it on
a regular basis, information like who accessed what, when and
where and what IP addresses.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Not all of that information would be kept if Telegram was.
Speaker 6 (25:39):
Basically had their foundation built on privacy, because a lot
of that data is just not needed to store unless
you want to have that information. So we'll find out
unfortunately moving forward, but absolutely everybody moving forward can guarantee
just about any point of contact from what they're saying,
is going to be available to governments with certain information requests, which,
(26:00):
since that's not defined, is that a court order or
is that just a backdoor where these governments can have
access to anything they want. I'm afraid it's going to
be more of an open access from what it sounds like.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Back to some of the newest and modern day warfare
and the things that we're watching not just in the
information age, but also with these other stories has below
now the attack that happened just the other week, the
attack on hesblow. Could your phone be a ticking time bomb?
The Blaze asks and wonders, and you actually sent this
(26:32):
to me, and I thought, well, that's that's fascinating. I
guess this all depends how they did this. Were the
devices hacked or were they intercepted? Was there some sort
of explosive put inside them? Trent? What's the story on this?
And I don't even know if we will ever know
the real truth.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
So it looks like every expert is basically saying, Hey,
there had to be some kind of explosives planeted in this.
These devices that were remotely detonated by a phone call,
at text message or a data point being put into
that phone, which is very easy to do remotely with
an internet connected advice, with circuitry, with computer chips, very.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
Easy to do.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
The concern is more on lithium ion batteries. Every phone,
every device that we have has a lithium ion battery.
Those batteries store a lot of energy. If there would
be a way to short circuit or overheat, those batteries
could explode. Those batteries could cause a fire to happen.
But the explosive force of a lithium ion battery of
your cell phone usually is not able to be released
(27:33):
in a powerful way like an actual plastic explosives.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Would, so.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
It's not thought of as a real danger.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Risk.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
What's more of a risk is if they could short
circuit and it causes a fire if we think about
it that way, maybe not explosion blowing a person up,
or a leg or an arm, but basically, if our
cell phones could be the battery control system could be
hacked to cause a fire, that would be very bad.
If all of our device is started on fire, that'd
(28:04):
be a really bad thing.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, yes, slightly. Can you imagine how many are out there?
And gosh what that would look like when it's all
said and done with. I mean everything from cars to
you know, your phone, you know, even your TV. I
don't know. Maybe there's there's things and the Internet of
(28:25):
things has I think it's really got to make us
think about our cybersecurity. How how seriously we take all
of this? One more thing, Governor news some signs of
bill banning the use of cell phones during class there
in California. Now this is actually not it's really it's
become a very popular thing. This is not unpopular at all.
(28:47):
People in Republicans Democrats are all all along excited about
this and actually kind of in favor of getting the
phones out of schools. I I think it's an interesting conversation.
I will say this, it's not just a phone. Now.
This thing does a lot more. It brings you all
(29:09):
kinds of content and things that probably shouldn't be looked
at it at all my kids, but also in school.
Then the AUSO. The other thing is is now that
you can get any answer to anything, and there's AI
on these phones. Now that could be good and bad.
You know, they can ask the AI is the teacher
telling the truth on certain subjects, and the AI can
look it up and tell them. I think at some
(29:31):
point there's going to be a skill of interacting with
the AI. I don't know if they'll teach it in
school or not, but that may be something that will
have to be looked at too. But in the meantime,
this is a growing trend. Trent, what do you make
of it?
Speaker 7 (29:44):
This is an incredible thing to watch because there's multiple
sides of this.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
As you mentioned, there's tons of cons of peer pressure,
social media, AI cheating, you know, crime distraction where it's
it's not a good thing to have a phone in
a classroom. But we have to look at everything that
government bands outlaw says is a bad thing.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
How is it enforced?
Speaker 6 (30:04):
So for example, phones can also be used with a
camera to hold accountable a bad teacher, a bad fellow student,
an abuse situation, and phones have been used secret recordings
endlessly through students to expose that stuff.
Speaker 7 (30:18):
So it really depends if they're going to, oh.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
There's a video that was taken of a teacher that
was inappropriate. That's going to get thrown out of a
court case because it's illegal to be recording in a classroom.
But then as students are secretly using their phones for
social media, what everything else? If it's selective enforcement, that's
what I'm really concerned about.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
How do we enforce this.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
Are they going to leave it at the door or
are they just going to say they can't use it
in a classroom. That's the interesting part though, See, and
there's also the emergency or the life saving things people
with diabetes, for example, that need a phone with them
at all times for their cgms and sensors. How are
they going to place a legitimate medical use case versus
(31:01):
something that's nefarious. So we'll see how this plays out.
It really depends how they're going to enforce.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
It, Shelley says. But yeah, then they give them chromebooks
that makes sense. So yeah, there's another question about some
of the devices they're allowing tablets and things like that
in the schools as well. Hey, that's why we have
these conversations. All will continue, Trent. Can they be here
every Tuesday for a tech Talk segment and of course
more for training. You have questions and you may want
to ask Affordableizeto laguists, can it stand out or your organization?
(31:28):
They can help you secure it, lock things down cybersecurity
as well with Grand River Tech. Always a pleasure, Trem.
Thank you for always coming on to answer these questions
and more.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
Thanks Justin, have a great day.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
YouTube God bless bag with Moore. I'm still waiting on
Biden at the UN supposed to give a speech there
in front of you in General Assembly. We'll have it
here if it happens momentarily if not. More for Trump
coming out from last night answer, there's some great lines,
in fact, great moments in Pennsylvania all together. You get
(32:04):
them all coming up after it. So West mister line question.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
It's West Michigan Live with Justin Barklay on News Radio
Wood thirteen hundred and one oh six nine a half after.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Jump it back on the line six one six before
twenty four, twenty four the way in at any time,
you like, Mike from Wyoming is showing us. Now, Mike,
you're on the air West Michigan line.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
Oh, Joshain, good morning. I say, John, I want to
go back to this uh uaw and his teamsters that
obviously the teamster workers get it. You know, they're back
in Trump big time. They bailue their job. I suggest you,
aw workers, the Big Tree and anybody working in manufacturers
that relies on them. If you value your job, you
(32:49):
better pull the right lever. Otherwise you're not gonna have
to worry about that next contract.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Yeah, you know, it's interesting, uh to your point you
aw polling, I saw always that they they might have
even been higher for Trump than even the teamsters were.
I mean, like I think I saw like a seventy
percent number that would have said they were voting for Trump.
So yeah, you're right. I think the people on the
ground get it, the workers get it. The leadership and
(33:16):
that's probably not the right word the fat cats, let's
put it that way. They they've sold everyone out and
they've got a different plan altogether. But Mike, you're right,
Trump actually addressed this and thank you for the call.
He addressed this yesterday in Pennsylvania. He was sitting there
and I don't you know, do a couple of things,
like when he goes to a state, you'll see he'll
(33:38):
do the same thing here. When it comes Friday in Walker,
he'll do like a press conference and I believe that's
a faulk Is where that's going to be U. And
then he'll go on the other side of the state
Warren and then he'll do like a town hall slash
rally slash event. But he sat down yesterday and it
was in front of a couple of Deer tractors, and
(34:02):
he just lets it rip, particularly on the tractors, talking
about the terriffs. I just noticed there a couple of
John Deer's behind me, and here's his plan to bring
manufacturing back to the state and the declination through the roof.
Speaker 8 (34:17):
Okay, they're going to go through the roof. You won't
be you won't have a farm very long. I will
tell you that I just noticed behind me John Deere tractors.
I know a lot about John Dere. I love the company.
But as you know, they've announced a few days ago
that they're going to move a lot of their manufacturing
business to Mexico.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
I'm just notifying John Deere right now.
Speaker 8 (34:37):
If you do that, we're putting a two hundred percent
tariff on everything that you want to.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Sell into the United States.
Speaker 8 (34:43):
So that if I win, John Deere is going to
be paying a two hundred percent They haven't started it yet,
maybe they haven't even made the final decision yet.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Maybe they'll hear that and understand, got to bring manufacturing
back into the United States.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Got to do it.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
They're no way around it. Another big moment, yes, today,
a touching moment as he pays for the groceries a
mother of three, single mother. They're at the grocery store
in Pennsylvania. Trump has a message for He's gonna go down.
It just went down one hundred bucks. We'll do that
fee for the White House, all right, that's his message.
(35:19):
Not only did he pay for groceries, letting down on her,
but he said we're got to do that too from
the White House. The campaigns in Pennsylvania. Back here on Friday,
he'll be here. We'll cover it all. Much more still
yet to come. An after show there there's never enough
time to get to it all, we'll do it coming
up the next Justin Barkley dot com, the iHeart Radio app,

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Welcome in mind expected to address to you in I'm
mid backtrack of chaos as the Middle East is on
the brink. That's the headline they're in. Fox says, I
get folks kind of filtering in. I don't know if
we're gonna bring in the speech of maybe piece of
(00:44):
the point of it here and there. Anyway, that's It's
just one of the major stories happening today. We got
a Tech Tuesday trying to join us with the latest stories.
You're definitely gonna want to hear. But first let's get
into this hues and traffic. I'm bring your stories of
the day.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
We are talking about what matters most in West Michigan
and beyond.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
This is the Big Three. No speak now the stories,
no matter of mouse, You'll be talking about these around
the watercoord the dinner table no matter where you are.
These are those stories powered by our good friends at
Heartland Home Mortgage, Dave Cataway and the team ready to
stay up and help you with any meat that you
may have. You know, the rights have been going down.
(01:29):
They starting to see that movement and it made me time.
Buy Refi, homemake, what Helanta credit. Whatever you're looking for now,
maybe the time reach out to Dave and the crew
HHM lending dot com and they'll help you faster, better
than the vic bags and DJ release a letter to
the world from Trump's would be assassin. It appears there
(01:50):
was a bounty offered and they put that out for
the world to see. There's quite a bit of im
about this. Bill Barr himself not a huge fan of
Trump anyway. Bill Barr himself out there criticizing the move
saying like, don't think that necessarily was a good idea,
(02:11):
do you? Anyway? The story continues to develop on this,
we'll have the latest for you, and he had his
day in court yesterday. There's more coming on this stand
by speaking of court here locally back at home, as
would TV eight puts it, a man pled guilty to
killing his girlfriend. A man then dumb turned body on
(02:36):
us one thirty one. I guess there's no need to
tell us in the headline that man was here in
the country illegally. More to the story, you remember Brandon
ortiz Vite, and of course hopefully you remember his victim,
Ruby Garcia, the twenty five year old that was killed,
(02:58):
shot dead inside that car, then her body dumped out
on one point thirty one. We'll tell the story coming
up here in a little bit with the way it
should be told, at least the headline two at all
he accepted the plea deal and uh, I'll give you
the full details of it. All come out in just coffense.
I'm sure it's a story that Look, it'll get talked
(03:18):
about this week. Trump's in town. It'll be a walker
on Friday and on in the morning, and then on
the afternoon the evening he'll be in a town hall
in Warren. US grocery stores could go without popular food
within the weeks, as forty five thousand dock workers threatened
to strike. The latest story and I think is quietly
(03:42):
behind the scenes as an opportunity to become a bigger issue.
Folks really not paying attention because they're not being told.
But this will impact the holidays, This will impact a
lot of things that are coming out of the price
and everything else in the In the days ahead, we'll
keep an eye on it as well. Stick with us
for the latest on those stories and more. But first,
(04:03):
let's talk about the headlines, the way they should be,
the way they ought to be, and the way they
are right now. Now, the Detroit News called it, that
was it? It was their story. Was there a man?
But let me give you the full Let me make
sure I don't want to misquote anybody, don't want any misinformation.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Let me pull it up car Justin Now at six
one six seven seven four twenty four at six one,
six seven seven twenty four, twenty four, West Michigan Live
with Justin Barclay on News Radio Wood thirteen hundred and
one oh six nine af M.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Now, now it's gone further down there their scroll of
their feed. Now this story, did you Riat knows was
probably the worst? Man pleads guilty. That's what that's That's
all you have to do is look just go google
Brendan or tees Vita and you're gonna get You'll get
(05:02):
a whole list of these weird stories and the headlines.
If you just click on the and go click on
news and you can you'll get In fact, I'll show
everybody the behind the scenes livestream if you want to
check this out. This is what it looks like. This
is what we're This is what we're it's you know,
I didn't It's not like gonna make this stuff up.
You can see it all right. Let me see here
(05:27):
Brendan or tease Vita guilty. Here you go, guilty of Uh,
this is probably the best one. Yeah, let's let's use
this one here. Brando tees Vta pleads guilty the killing
girl girlfriend. Okay, but who's he? Man pleads guilty the
murdering Michigan girlfriend dumping her body along us one thirty one? Okay,
(05:51):
but who's the man? Boyfriend takes plead deal, admits the
dumping woman's body. Oh so it's a story of a
boyfriend dumping a girlfriend's body. That's all it's going on here.
Man said to be deported after serving decades in prison
for girlfriend's murder. That's probably the best, although it's really confusing.
Still from the newspaper and Live and then the Detroit
(06:13):
News with the absolute worst headline. Ever, man pleads guilty
the Michigan killing that stoked anti immigrant campaign rhetoric. Oh
so it really the people are really guilty are the
ones who pointed out that he's in the country illegally.
(06:40):
That was the issue, that was the real problem. It's
that that Trump, that Trump called onto this and said,
you know, well, maybe we ought to maybe we ought
to shine a light on some of these things. Maybe
you wanted to make sure. So here's what tadel we
(07:02):
start digging at, and you could that's a hand line.
Somebody writes the headline. So first of all, don't understand newspapers.
First somebody writes the story. Then somebody writes the headline.
It's usually like an editor or somebody because they're trying
to get clicks, that's what they want, or in this case,
they don't want you to know what happened at all.
You get into the story of Mexican national who is
(07:22):
in the US illegally plead guilty Monday to killing his
girlfriend and dumping her body along Michigan freeway. Well, here's
how I wrote it, Okay, because I just look, I
just tell it like it is previously deporting the illegal
immigrant who killed Ruby Garcia pleats guilty. Yeah, she was
his girlfriend, but he was in the country illegally. In fact,
(07:45):
he'd been deported already, once sent out of the country,
found his way back in for all intensive purposes. It
looks like under the Biden administration. It's horrific. It's a
tragedy either way. But please make no mistake, the fact
that this is here in the country, was here illegally
a major part of the story. And they're trying to
memory hold it. They're trying to make sure that you
(08:08):
don't know about it, you don't talk about it. It
doesn't hit the news. Why because God forbid, it might
help Donald Trump, might help Donald Trump get elected. That's
how they see the lens through all of this. Well,
it's the truth, and the truth is people are not
safe with a wide open border. This isn't xenophobic, it's
(08:31):
not racist, it's not homophobic, it's not any of the ists,
it's not misogynist, sexist, it's not any of the labels
or name calling that they want to But what it is,
it is called the truth. You're letting people in unvetted,
this is what you're going to get. And then I
(08:52):
want I say, letting them in unvetted, you don't secure
your border. This is what you're going to have. This
is what you're going to see day another story like this. Unfortunately,
this is what has happened. Pray for her family. So
now he's going to get thirty years thirty thirty seven
years is what he'll face a trial, what do they say,
(09:17):
fake trial on charge of second to be murder, carjack
and carrying it so weapon of using a firearm. The
guy should never see the light of day again. But
do you know what they're saying to us. They're saying
that they're going to essentially they're going to deport him
after he serves his sentence. I guess, I don't know.
He's never seen the light of day outside of that thing,
outside of that jail ever again. But you know they
(09:40):
if they deport this guy after he serves his time,
who knows they might just come right on back over
and kill again. That's and who knows where will be
at thirty, whether he than have a country thirty years
from I just I know, I know, I promise you
good news, I'll do some of that come up, but
a little bit too. We'll get to the good News
(10:02):
and uh yeah, we've still got tech Talk coming up
today as well.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Don't go anywhere called 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 Barklay on News Radio Wood thirteen
hundred and one oh six nine af.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
AM, flying right through on a Tuesday. It's TikTok Tuesday
as well. We'll get Trent. Can you be joining us?
Coming up in moments as well right here, West Michigan.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Live, Winking Doubt, Missing Michigan Live with Justin Barkley on
News Radio Wood thirteen hundred and one oh six nine
a f M.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
You know, Trump has been all over in his surrogates
as well, folks, throughout the campaign process here in Michigan.
It's been a big rate. We've seen what that's looked like.
And of course said there's some hope Trump's latest mills
in Michigan could crush Herris's presidential house. Mary Rook for
The Daily Caller wrote this piece and uh boy, I
thought this was something.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Hi, Gunson, thanks so much for having me.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
My pleasure here. This is kind of interesting. Some of
the things you've got in your piece, the low propensity voters,
which we've seen in effort not just with the party,
but there's some third party folks out there that are
doing that work as well. I thought very interesting. In fact,
there have been people talking about I haven't seen people
door knocking like I thought, I woulder as many people
doing so. And what's interesting is that the Lovely campaign
(11:25):
response has been yeah, because we're targeting people that generally
don't they if they would vote, they would vote our way,
but they generally don't. These are low propensity voters. Can
you explain that a little bit and why that strategy
is so key here?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
So you know, we watched in twenty twenty where Trent
lost Michigan to about one hundred and fifty four thousand votes.
It feels like a big divide, but when you break
it up to the whole state, it's really not. And
so what the Republican Party is done here is identified
between two hundred to five hundred thousand low propensity voters.
And what that means is you've got a voter that
(12:02):
is kind of included into politics. They know which way
they lean, they know you know, a person that they
would want to vote for in its election, but they
don't necessarily have the drive to get out to vote
and put their you know, and cast their ballots. So
what the Republican Party is doing is activating these voters,
you know, kind of going on a repeated call cycle
(12:22):
or knocking on their door, trying to really find the
issue that speaks to them most and activate them into
the ballot box. And you know what we're seeing on
the groundland I said, a lot of Republicans are saying
that they're seeing a lot of success with this. The
hope here is that each you know, volunteer reaches out
(12:45):
to ten people, which obviously feels like, oh, ten people,
that doesn't seem like enough. But they have, you know,
hundreds of thousands of volunteers across the state of Michigan.
And so if each one of them reaches out to
ten people and that's kind of their target audience and
they get them to election day at least three to four,
they're hoping to have success there in Michigan. And we
saw Trump win Michigan in twenty sixteen, which rocks the
(13:06):
Democratic Party because obviously it catapulted him into the White
House and I think the issue for someone like Kamala
Harris is that she is arrested on the hope that
she'd win these Great Lakes Stage states, which is obviously Michigan, Wisconsin,
and Pennsylvania. They're hoping and praying that she picks up
all three of those states. Now she's looking pretty terrible.
(13:27):
In Pennsylvania right now is looking like that's definitely going
to go for Trump, at least, you know, the Trump
campaign it feels very confident that it will. And then
if you take into the fact that Trump is now
playing very heavily into Michigan, it might felt doomed for
her with regards to twenty twenty four lotions.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
This is really something. I mean, we've been hearing people
talk about this and share what's possible. I've been talking
about it for a while, and especially in Michigan. Obviously,
this nation and where we're headed at grow out a crossroads.
We often hear in every election set that's a more
important election of our lifetime, and I really feel like
this is the case here. I not only in our lifetime,
(14:11):
but I think maybe in the history of this nation
as we look back, you know, it's not about the
next four years only. I think it may be about
the next two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Yeah, you know, you're not alone. Millions of Americans are
real kind of waking up and realizing that right now.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
A lot of them.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I think we're duped in twenty twenty to believe that
because we are going through the racial riots, because we
were going through COVID and all of those crazy scenarios,
that maybe Biden coming into office would be a reprieve
or a break from all the chaos. But what we've
found is it was an extenuation of the chaos, and
a lot of people are wanting to change in that.
(14:51):
And when you look at the polling, I mean, he's
within the margin of era. In Michigan, he's only down
two points according to the latest Emerson polling, and we
know that Emerson skewed it polling data, and you know,
he's really four points above probably with the way that
they do their pulling. And it's really hard in our
(15:12):
country to pull Trump voters. Some of these mainstream polers
have had a really difficult time finding the Trump boat.
And so but then they show up at the ballot box.
We saw him, you know, gain what was it seventy
nine to eighty million votes in twenty twenty, despite not
winning the White House. So I think that there is
a really good chance here that Trump picks up Pennsylvania
(15:34):
and possibly Michigan.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
That's fantastic news. I know, a little bit of hope
is necessary. Was talking about that last night. We'll play
a clip of that coming up here in a second.
But you also mentioned in your piece auto workers for
Trump Ryan Pannabecker, who was just on with us yesterday.
He'll be there again at the town hall on Friday.
But a massive group and a movement really from folks
in the industry, the auto industry along with the teams.
(16:01):
You're starting to see some of these big things, including
yesterday's big news was the mayor of VAM Trammick, the
Muslim mayor there coming out endorsing President Trump. All of
these things. You're really seeing Trump pick up like these
these pieces of support in areas in ways that maybe
are not so traditional.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah. I think that before this month, if you would
have told me that Trump was, you know, really in
play in Michigan, I would have maybe been a little
bit more skeptical. I mean, I was up in Michigan
the week that this first assassination attempt happened on July thirteenth,
and I did see around the Bloomfield Hills area people
(16:45):
putting out Trump signs and putting them around their yards,
and so I thought that was a really interesting thing
to happen right after the assassination attempt. And then you
kind of move forward and nothing's really budging there in Michigan,
and then all of a sudden, you're seeing the signs,
you know, like we did in twenty sixteen, that Trump
has a chance. And one of those things was the
(17:06):
Teamsters Union not coming out in support of Kamala Harris,
which we all just kind of expected to happen. They've
been supporting the Democrats for decades, so why would this
be any different. Well, I mean, if you look at
the internal pulling from the Teamsters union, we're talking about,
you know, a twenty six point drop and between Trump
(17:27):
and Kamala. I mean, some of these pollings are showing
that over fifty nine percent of the Teamsters union members
are supporting Trump in this election. And that's a pretty
stark reality, I think for you know, a union. And
then whenever you look at July polls and you see
that Biden was actually pulling better than Trump forty four
(17:49):
to thirty six percent. You know, you kind of wonder,
what are they seeing in Tamala that they didn't see
in Biden? And now why are they so excited about Trump?
And you know, then I'm sure that the Teamsters union
leaders are looking at this and going, Okay, we can't
be turning our back on our members. I mean, there
(18:09):
was this really great line from one of the UAW
union members who said a lot of them are looking
around after they endorse Kamala Harris. A lot of the
members are looking around and going, how can you sit
back and split our throats like this? And so I
think the Teamsters are trying to avoid you know, a
(18:31):
line like that showing up in the New York Times to.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
The part of our conversation and Mary earlier that I
had this morning on the Detroit Morning so you could

the mullets and its first. Let's check in with John
(19:16):
and Cedar Tukey this morning. One of my favorite places. John,
how are you?
Speaker 5 (19:22):
I'm great justin. I wish I was calling in with
a little bit of a better story. I just kind
of dumps tales in with what you were talking about
with the illegal murderer who dumped bumped Ruby's body off
on the expressway. I ran it to a young lady
last night. She was in an accident Saturday before last.
(19:46):
Illegal alien, no license, no assurance, an he tea boned.
The only thing that saved her and her four children
that were in the car was the fact that it
was a a large jeep with two roll bars. One
of the children had broken arm. The two little ones
(20:08):
were blooded up from flopping around in the seats. Their
vehicle rolled four times to date, as of last night.
They were unable to get an accident report from the
state police. They will not allow them to have the
license plate number that was on the car. The car
(20:28):
was from down south, so that you get information on
the owner of the car. This is terrible, what's going on.
We bend over backwards to another note. The illegal alien
ran off and left the scene, only to come back
later with quote an interpreter, come, it's just not right
(20:51):
and people that are people smart enough? This is right
in our own backyard. This happened on seventeen Mile Road
and Sparta Avenue, which is in between Cheeter and Kent City.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Now I have the woman's name and if anybody wanted
to reach out to her, I would fay. She's in
her mid thirties. You were two traddlers in car seats
and two fourteen year olds.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Hang out with the John. Hang on the phone line,
let me see if we can get some info. Okay,
hang out for a second. Hey, Adam, will you get
John's if we can, we can get that information from
him and maybe we can see if we can do something.
I don't know. A horrific story and you hate to
(21:41):
hear it, but one that I don't think unfortunately, is
going to be all too rare before it's all sitting
down on Okay, gotta switch gears here, we gotta take Tuesday.
I'll grab some more phone calls. Coming up here in
just a little bit. But we got some stories we
want to carry today into the late in tech and
(22:01):
how it affects you and your world. This is tech
Talk Tuesday on Wood Radio's West Michigan Live. Marvelus is so,
in other words, now our car insurance is going to
go up again. Yes again, that's the keyword there, Trent.
Can it be with us at FOTA Allized Store, Lake
Michigan Drive and stand on and the folks and Crowned
are Tech joining us now for a tech Talk segment.
(22:21):
A couple of big stories in the news, tech Wise
had to make sure we got to. One of them
is banning cell phones in schools. This is like a
new thing that's picking up speed. A lot of people
are seeing this happen in there, this state, and they're
not necessarily against it. Let's get into that story coming
up here in just a little bit, Trent. But also
(22:43):
some of these other stories. Telegram, the app that was
so popular and just weeks ago, the CEO was arrested
in France. What a strange story. They said he wasn't
sharing the information that he should have been sharing with
the authorities and people to say certain things and do
certain things on that app. And essentially they didn't have control.
(23:05):
And now they seemly have cotton control because they have
rested him and all of a sudden, I don't think
it's any coincidence at all, But now Telegram has decided
to change their attack. They are now providing user information.
This would be phone numbers and IP addresses and all
(23:26):
kinds of other data to authorities when when requested. I
guess what a story Trent welcome in.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Yeah, good morning, Just an incredible story. It sounds like
they completely folded. I mean, Telegram has been brutal with
their you know, supposed policy of privacy and of basically saying, hey,
we're hands off what happens on the app, happens on
the app. We're not going to have access to that information.
We're not going to give as that information. And it
sounds like whatever they did in uh, you know, under
(23:58):
arrest the enterk whatever the mind wanders, But obviously things
have changed very very quickly.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah, this is really really interesting because if you're using
this app, I just wonder if you think, like, if
you've sold things, or done things, or had you even
said things, had conversations online with people, particularly inside that app,
and now their policies are just going to turn that
information over. Does that mean information and data moving forward
(24:30):
or would this be previous? So in other words, if
you shared some misinformation quote unquote it was not government
approved stories, narratives, information, that type of thing, could they
retroactively come back and get you. And then I'm talking
about in places like Europe and maybe even America at
some point. And what will happen to the app if
(24:52):
they throw their users under the bus, who were so
clearly only there because of this reason. If they tell
them uner the bus, what happens next.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
So as far as the data goes, whatever's publicly posted,
that shareable and on people's feeds, it's not deleted certainly
on that backward access those messages, whatever information is there
will be accessible.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
There's a lot of information though that's behind the scenes
that it's.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Not clear what will be accessible now, and that really
depends on how secure they set up their app in
the first place if they set up their app and
the servers to essentially purge that data overwrite it on
a regular basis, information like who accessed what, when and
where and what IP addresses.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Not all of that information would be kept if Telegram was.
Speaker 6 (25:39):
Basically had their foundation built on privacy, because a lot
of that data is just not needed to store unless
you want to have that information. So we'll find out
unfortunately moving forward, but absolutely everybody moving forward can guarantee
just about any point of contact from what they're saying,
is going to be available to governments with certain information requests, which,
(26:00):
since that's not defined, is that a court order or
is that just a backdoor where these governments can have
access to anything they want. I'm afraid it's going to
be more of an open access from what it sounds like.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Back to some of the newest and modern day warfare
and the things that we're watching not just in the
information age, but also with these other stories has below
now the attack that happened just the other week, the
attack on hesblow. Could your phone be a ticking time bomb?
The Blaze asks and wonders, and you actually sent this
(26:32):
to me, and I thought, well, that's that's fascinating. I
guess this all depends how they did this. Were the
devices hacked or were they intercepted? Was there some sort
of explosive put inside them? Trent? What's the story on this?
And I don't even know if we will ever know
the real truth.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
So it looks like every expert is basically saying, Hey,
there had to be some kind of explosives planeted in this.
These devices that were remotely detonated by a phone call,
at text message or a data point being put into
that phone, which is very easy to do remotely with
an internet connected advice, with circuitry, with computer chips, very.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
Easy to do.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
The concern is more on lithium ion batteries. Every phone,
every device that we have has a lithium ion battery.
Those batteries store a lot of energy. If there would
be a way to short circuit or overheat, those batteries
could explode. Those batteries could cause a fire to happen.
But the explosive force of a lithium ion battery of
your cell phone usually is not able to be released
(27:33):
in a powerful way like an actual plastic explosives.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Would, so.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
It's not thought of as a real danger.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Risk.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
What's more of a risk is if they could short
circuit and it causes a fire if we think about
it that way, maybe not explosion blowing a person up,
or a leg or an arm, but basically, if our
cell phones could be the battery control system could be
hacked to cause a fire, that would be very bad.
If all of our device is started on fire, that'd
(28:04):
be a really bad thing.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, yes, slightly. Can you imagine how many are out there?
And gosh what that would look like when it's all
said and done with. I mean everything from cars to
you know, your phone, you know, even your TV. I
don't know. Maybe there's there's things and the Internet of
(28:25):
things has I think it's really got to make us
think about our cybersecurity. How how seriously we take all
of this? One more thing, Governor news some signs of
bill banning the use of cell phones during class there
in California. Now this is actually not it's really it's
become a very popular thing. This is not unpopular at all.
(28:47):
People in Republicans Democrats are all all along excited about
this and actually kind of in favor of getting the
phones out of schools. I I think it's an interesting conversation.
I will say this, it's not just a phone. Now.
This thing does a lot more. It brings you all
(29:09):
kinds of content and things that probably shouldn't be looked
at it at all my kids, but also in school.
Then the AUSO. The other thing is is now that
you can get any answer to anything, and there's AI
on these phones. Now that could be good and bad.
You know, they can ask the AI is the teacher
telling the truth on certain subjects, and the AI can
look it up and tell them. I think at some
(29:31):
point there's going to be a skill of interacting with
the AI. I don't know if they'll teach it in
school or not, but that may be something that will
have to be looked at too. But in the meantime,
this is a growing trend. Trent, what do you make
of it?
Speaker 7 (29:44):
This is an incredible thing to watch because there's multiple
sides of this.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
As you mentioned, there's tons of cons of peer pressure,
social media, AI cheating, you know, crime distraction where it's
it's not a good thing to have a phone in
a classroom. But we have to look at everything that
government bands outlaw says is a bad thing.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
How is it enforced?
Speaker 6 (30:04):
So for example, phones can also be used with a
camera to hold accountable a bad teacher, a bad fellow student,
an abuse situation, and phones have been used secret recordings
endlessly through students to expose that stuff.
Speaker 7 (30:18):
So it really depends if they're going to, oh.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
There's a video that was taken of a teacher that
was inappropriate. That's going to get thrown out of a
court case because it's illegal to be recording in a classroom.
But then as students are secretly using their phones for
social media, what everything else? If it's selective enforcement, that's
what I'm really concerned about.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
How do we enforce this.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
Are they going to leave it at the door or
are they just going to say they can't use it
in a classroom. That's the interesting part though, See, and
there's also the emergency or the life saving things people
with diabetes, for example, that need a phone with them
at all times for their cgms and sensors. How are
they going to place a legitimate medical use case versus
(31:01):
something that's nefarious. So we'll see how this plays out.
It really depends how they're going to enforce.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
It, Shelley says. But yeah, then they give them chromebooks
that makes sense. So yeah, there's another question about some
of the devices they're allowing tablets and things like that
in the schools as well. Hey, that's why we have
these conversations. All will continue, Trent. Can they be here
every Tuesday for a tech Talk segment and of course
more for training. You have questions and you may want
to ask Affordableizeto laguists, can it stand out or your organization?
(31:28):
They can help you secure it, lock things down cybersecurity
as well with Grand River Tech. Always a pleasure, Trem.
Thank you for always coming on to answer these questions
and more.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
Thanks Justin, have a great day.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
YouTube God bless bag with Moore. I'm still waiting on
Biden at the UN supposed to give a speech there
in front of you in General Assembly. We'll have it
here if it happens momentarily if not. More for Trump
coming out from last night answer, there's some great lines,
in fact, great moments in Pennsylvania all together. You get
(32:04):
them all coming up after it. So West mister line question.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
It's West Michigan Live with Justin Barklay on News Radio
Wood thirteen hundred and one oh six nine a half after.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Jump it back on the line six one six before
twenty four, twenty four the way in at any time,
you like, Mike from Wyoming is showing us. Now, Mike,
you're on the air West Michigan line.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
Oh, Joshain, good morning. I say, John, I want to
go back to this uh uaw and his teamsters that
obviously the teamster workers get it. You know, they're back
in Trump big time. They bailue their job. I suggest you,
aw workers, the Big Tree and anybody working in manufacturers
that relies on them. If you value your job, you
(32:49):
better pull the right lever. Otherwise you're not gonna have
to worry about that next contract.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Yeah, you know, it's interesting, uh to your point you
aw polling, I saw always that they they might have
even been higher for Trump than even the teamsters were.
I mean, like I think I saw like a seventy
percent number that would have said they were voting for Trump.
So yeah, you're right. I think the people on the
ground get it, the workers get it. The leadership and
(33:16):
that's probably not the right word the fat cats, let's
put it that way. They they've sold everyone out and
they've got a different plan altogether. But Mike, you're right,
Trump actually addressed this and thank you for the call.
He addressed this yesterday in Pennsylvania. He was sitting there
and I don't you know, do a couple of things,
like when he goes to a state, you'll see he'll
(33:38):
do the same thing here. When it comes Friday in Walker,
he'll do like a press conference and I believe that's
a faulk Is where that's going to be U. And
then he'll go on the other side of the state
Warren and then he'll do like a town hall slash
rally slash event. But he sat down yesterday and it
was in front of a couple of Deer tractors, and
(34:02):
he just lets it rip, particularly on the tractors, talking
about the terriffs. I just noticed there a couple of
John Deer's behind me, and here's his plan to bring
manufacturing back to the state and the declination through the roof.
Speaker 8 (34:17):
Okay, they're going to go through the roof. You won't
be you won't have a farm very long. I will
tell you that I just noticed behind me John Deere tractors.
I know a lot about John Dere. I love the company.
But as you know, they've announced a few days ago
that they're going to move a lot of their manufacturing
business to Mexico.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
I'm just notifying John Deere right now.
Speaker 8 (34:37):
If you do that, we're putting a two hundred percent
tariff on everything that you want to.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Sell into the United States.
Speaker 8 (34:43):
So that if I win, John Deere is going to
be paying a two hundred percent They haven't started it yet,
maybe they haven't even made the final decision yet.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Maybe they'll hear that and understand, got to bring manufacturing
back into the United States.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Got to do it.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
They're no way around it. Another big moment, yes, today,
a touching moment as he pays for the groceries a
mother of three, single mother. They're at the grocery store
in Pennsylvania. Trump has a message for He's gonna go down.
It just went down one hundred bucks. We'll do that
fee for the White House, all right, that's his message.
(35:19):
Not only did he pay for groceries, letting down on her,
but he said we're got to do that too from
the White House. The campaigns in Pennsylvania. Back here on Friday,
he'll be here. We'll cover it all. Much more still
yet to come. An after show there there's never enough
time to get to it all, we'll do it coming
up the next Justin Barkley dot com, the iHeart Radio app,
