with Justin Barklay on Wood Radio. Now.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Welcome in, folks, a big day.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
It is another round of news you may not hear
anywhere else, the stories they don't want you to hear.
In fact, these are those stories coming at you loud
and clear. With a Tech Talk Tuesday topper our good
Front Trink and Abby Affordable I Store, Lake Michigan drives
at Grand over Tech joining us with the latest big
(00:47):
news that Amazon layoffs.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
But that's not it. A big group of people getting
the other.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Say, Man, we should ban Ai and this Ai to
blame for some of this Amazon.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Actually we'll get into that book.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Us Weather and traffic, i'm the big stories of the day.
We are talking about what matters most in West Michigan
and beyond.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
He's the big three story is power.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
My good friends at Heartland Home Mortgage, I Refy Home
ECHE do you want to credit, they can help you
do all three. Our good friend they have gataway making
sure that that's possible for you. Dave is go He
goes above and beyond it, so does the whole team there.
I gotta tell you, we've not only bought our home
(01:37):
with Heartland home mortgage, we refinanced it and we did
a home equity line of credit.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
We couldn't be happier.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
They're faster, they're better than the big banks, and I
think you'll find that too. They have a personalized touch
that you just can't beat. AJM Lending, dot Com reaw Well.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Trump's trip has brought rect.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
New high stock market cruising and now high altitude let's
just call it flying high.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Why A lot of it.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Is based on what they think is about to happen.
Not only did we see major mooseappen the other day,
some of the trade talks, but China big driver of this.
China turns out they think they may be able to
get a deal. They may be able to remove some
of the terrafs, and then they may said really big action,
(02:33):
which oh yeah, and a deal to sell TikTok, which
might be in our conversation today trend as well, but
investors already seeing that inflation news over the weekends sent
the markets flying, and then yesterday they're starting to make
more of this end.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
They opened really high. I think we were up a couple.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Hundred points, and if we look at the pre market trading,
obviously we'll get an actual open here twenty minutes, but
futures are already up two hundred open AI completing their restructuring,
solidifying Microsoft major shareholder in that mix as well. Again,
it's all part of the conversations this morning.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Detroit cops.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
That's Mayor Duggan Detroit Dell supposedly the best mayor in
the entire country, according to the billboards and all the
raw ra hoopla. But if he's the best mayor in
the entire country in detroit's so amazing. How come Detroit
comps are having to warn parents trust but verify that
(03:38):
Halloween candy that's being handed out could be laced with drugs.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
That doesn't seem like a great.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Story for a guy that's running on his track record
as a mayor trying to become the governor of Michigan.
Police warning parents to check Halloween candy after discovering drug
lace treats. This guy's his popular snacks like Dorito's, nerds,
airheads and more, all of them containing things like THC
(04:12):
magic mushrooms, clearly labeled for adults but made to look
like real candy. Authorities say there's no real sign they
were memphicates, but the concern of a mix up could
be could be a big one. And finally, Hurricane Melissa
marching on towards Jamaican now upgraded to a category five.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
One of the latest on these stories.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
And more is that, folks, they are embracing as the
hurricane headed their way. I just unimaginably the size, the
scope of it, and the strength. Right now, military sending
in their planes to do some of that observation that
(04:54):
they do when.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
These types of things happen. You know, been kind of
whyat season for hurricane at least in the Gulf.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
And you're in the United States altogether, which as some
I'm wondering why why?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Is that great question? We'll talk about that too coming up, folks.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Oh yeah, maybe even an after show conversation.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
There's question about.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
What Trump may be doing, or now I know it
sounds crazy, what he may not be doing, which I think,
but it's it's a fascinating conversation.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Nevertheless, call Justin now at six one six seven seven
four four twenty four. That's 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.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
A f m. Yeah, we are flying high here today
as well, as I mentioned, lots lots of discuss now
vote in the Senate yesterday shut down now nearing the
one month mark, which I think you know. To me,
it's really sad. I don't know about you, but I
(06:09):
see people and this whole idea online that Republicans or
conservatives don't.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Care about other people as well.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Somebody I want you have a post up yesterday on Facebook,
by the way, which is where we stream the show
on a daily basis. We see the behind the scenes
live stream each and every day at Facebook, Twitter, x Rumble,
get Her Locals YouTube. So if you're looking for like
a Halloween trick smooth, go watch go watch me. But
(06:37):
some of the cool things about the behindus did You
can see videos and stories and things we're talking about guests.
Sometimes you'll get to see Trent this morning, so you
get a twofer. But you know, the interesting thing to
me about all of this, and you know, Glenn talked
about this yesterday and it's really to me, I thought
was kind of fascinating. The the mantra of the left Democrats,
(07:04):
especially over the last several years, have been that Republicans, Conservatives,
people on the right, they don't they don't they don't
care about the kids, They don't care about the least
of these, which is not true. It you and I
(07:24):
both know, and as a Christian, uh, we're instructed to
care about the least of these.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Now, the conversation takes an abrupt turn.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
When they instruct you that, you know, because this is
the way the liberals see the world, that you not
only are you supposed to care about the least of these,
but you're support you're supposed to support robbing people, essentially
taking money from others to then give it to the
government to disperse. And I would put my charitable giving
up against any of these you know, keyboard clowns on
(07:59):
LFE making these points any day.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Now.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I'm not like, you know, the biggest you know, but
but we do give and we love doing it. By
the way, I don't want to be told to give
that would ruin it. You just get a joy. And
but if you've never done this, and I know, art
we have one of the most generous audiences because of
(08:24):
all the giving of the things that happened.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
By the way we're getting, we're gearing up for it.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
The Turkey drop is coming up again this year, and
you every year you just blow us out of the water.
The things that you do to support this area and
of course people that are in need. Of course I'm
each year being a part of that has just been
such a blessing.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
But I digress.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
What I'm what I'm saying is Glenn's audience the same
way it turns to something different when it's taken from
you and then somebody else, some common are somewhere, somebody
else deep state, you know, entrenched making you know, some
fat cat salary, you know, living in the swamp somewhere,
(09:11):
gets to decide who gets what and who's worthy and.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
All that other stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
That's never the way it was meant to be in
fact in the Bible. If you're not to get to
a preachy here, but I'll just talk about the facts,
which is, you know, Jesus asked us each to do
our part right. Essentially that the whole thing is summed up,
all of the law, you know, the thing, commandments, et cetera,
(09:40):
is being replaced by by this newall, which is love
God and love others. So that's essentially what we're called
to do, love God, and that love people like yourself.
So you have that, would that would incorporate making sure
that you are generous and giving to others, helping people
when they're in need. There is a difference between a
(10:01):
hand out and a hand down. And there's a bigger
difference now between or a hand up rather and a
bigger difference of what Schumer is trying to do with
this shutdown, which is to keep his hand on the
mouths of these starving kids. This is just absolutely unthinkable.
(10:22):
What's about ready to happen. Forty some odd million people
here in the country are going to be without now
food assistance. Now this is going to call this issues
hunger starvation. There's going to be issues with people. There
could be unrest, could be all kinds of things. By
the way, this comes from the party that tells you
(10:45):
and has for years, Republicans don't care about the kids.
What does this say Schumer, and there's various reasons why
they want to do this. This Continuing Resolution, just call
the facts out here was passed by the Republicans in
the House. The House passed the continuing Resolution, which means
(11:08):
we keep government flowing while we negotiate the budget.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
That's how it should work.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
They don't want that Schumer who's leading the Senate right now,
Democrat Senate majority or excuse me, minority leader.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
He's leading the Senate Democrats.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Let me make sure I correct myself, because Republicans have
control in the Senate, but they don't have enough vote
votes because when you want to pass the budget, got
to have sixty votes. Now, they could go the nuclear out,
which is get rid of the filbuster. Whether they do
that or not, whether that's a good move or not,
it's a whole nother conversation.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
We'll put that to the side for now.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Right now, you need sixty votes to get the continuing Resolution,
which means we keep the government funded at the same levels.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
There's nothing radical here.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
You keep the government funded at the same levels that
it's been operating, just so you can begin the negotiation prior.
There's a lot on the line. By the way, they
don't even want the government open and running. Why, Well,
a radical left wing of the party, the extremist Marxist
(12:16):
AOC wing, has really taken control.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Well, they've given them control.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Schumer's so afraid that AOC may run primary him, run
against him and win.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
In New York. So that's a piece of this.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
The other piece is everything Donald Trump does is bad, right,
so they have to inflict as much pain.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
In fact, they've said as much.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
They're gonna inflict as much pain as possible so that
people get it. Up until this point, you said government shutdown.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
That a big deal.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
But you got a couple of things that are about
ready to happen starting November one, so snap benefit's drying up. Secondly,
you got folks like air traffic controllers who are going
to stop getting paychecks.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
This is a big problem.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
They want you and just remember this when you're in
the when you're in the airport, when you're dealing with
whatever you're dealing with, or you've got kids that are
going hungry, you remember this. This is the This is
the Democrats. So this is where they're headed. I I
(13:39):
can't say it enough, but it has to be said
so that people realize. I think people are waking up
day by day. But what you're watching for the Democrat
Party the route is the people that are being exposed.
It's to find out on a new level every single day.
They never cared about the kids, They never cared about you.
(14:04):
They only care about power and just dramatically transforming the
United States of America to a place where.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
It's not even recognizable anymore.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
And you know, you see that with Bondani and the
rest of these communists, they're not hiding it anymore. So
I pray that we get things back on track here.
But the other question that I asked it yesterday, which
I think is a fair one, and you really ought
to do some examining here. Why do we have I
heard it's twelve percent one point four million here in Michigan,
(14:40):
forty some odd million throughout the country. Why do we
have twelve percent of Americans on the food assistance?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Now that is some food for thought.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Well, dig in, coming out, hang out, folks back after
this on West Michigan Live, don't go anywhere in the meantime.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Informative in Ghijie.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
It's West Michigan Live with Justin Barclay on News Radio
Wood thirteen hundred and one oh six nine a f M.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You're a smart speaker, Smarter stream US, Okay, getting smarter.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Now it's Western Michigan Live with Justin Barclay on News
Radio Wood thirteen hundred and one oh six nine.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Or Headlines from the midwestern Er this Tuesday, October twenty eighth.
I'm Robin Hoffman. Alyssa Slockin wants to ban cell phones
in schools here in Michigan, but House Democrats apparently don't
agree with her plan. Not a single Democrat here in
the House supporting her proposal to ban phones and all
K through twelve schools. GM cuts another two hundred jobs
(16:52):
here in Michigan despite hundreds of millions in corporate welfare.
Governor Whitmer and certain lawmakers secretly negotiated more than six
hundred million in corporate incentives for EV production and north
of one hundred and fifty million in tax breaks for
GM back in twenty twenty two. In other news, the
government shut down now.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
For so coming up, we got news bottom the hour.
We're gonna get to that, we get the markets opening,
We'll have the latest. I will tell you it is
quite a wild ride. You have on one hand, and
I think this that just needs to be it really
needs to be highlighted. But the judgtaposition about the markets
and the high flying what's happening, whether there's an AI.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Bubble or.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
What's happening is these deals come together, trade, et cetera.
And at the same time, we've seen gold and silver
at these record numbers in their prices. We've seen now
people record numbers on assistance, which is another whole nother
question is how can the two be the same?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
You know you're watching these two things happen. This is
because the richer getting richer and the poor getting poor.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
And that is by design. Let me make this even
more clear, that's by Democrat design. That's how exactly how
they want it. Why because the more poor you are,
the less independent you can be, the more dependent you
need to.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Be on the federal government.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
And you will come to them not just with hat
in hand, but you will also come to them trying
to get them to solve every single problem. And Glenn
said this yesterday, but the system is not loving. It's
very cold. And you know, Trump is finally announced who
he would be for matter of fact, he calls the
ticket Unstoppable coming up in twenty twenty eight. We're going
(18:39):
to get to that coming up here in just a
little bit, plus some more clips we didn't have a
chance to play yesterday, and a few that we should
probably make sure that we get to today. That's all
coming up in the next half hour here on West
Michigan Line. But first let's make sure we talk to
our good friend Trent. Can there be affordabilized or he's
got the latest.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Tack into the latest intel and how it affects you
and your world. This is Tech Talk Tuesday on Wood Radios,
West Michigan Live.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
I saw this story and this is I think you're
gonna see more and more of this lar layoffs. Amazon
to begin cutting jobs, lots of them. I've seen as
high as thirty thousand. I Trent, we have insurance giant
Akrascher here in our own backyard that said they're going
to cut four hundred over the next year, two hundred
(19:29):
of those coming from West Michigan. These are people, well
I think may have just gotten jobs. This is kind
of wild, but it's gonna cut out the middleman. I
don't know if AI is to blame with Amazon or
if you've learned anything about this story.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
But it's a big story.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
We had the Amazon outage last week with Amazon Web services.
I talked to one of the guys here sports guys
said he thinks it's because they paid too much for
NFL and they're streaming.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
There could be a number of reasons for this.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I think maybe they tried to grow to fast during
the COVID days. They thought they were going to always
have that growth forever and ever up into the right
and turns out that that's not the case.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Justin the Amazon story is something that you have to
take with a grain of salt. Because Amazon is such
a big company, they can fluctuate massive amounts employees. They
could fluctuate ten or twenty thousand employees because of seasonal
demand for deliveries, because of the supply chain just not
requiring that many people if their sales are lower, So
(20:33):
they might be using AI as the scapegoat or blame
to try more palatable when really their sales maybe are
down or that seasonally they're down and they might pick up,
you know, ten thousand drivers on the holiday and that
might not get reported, keep them from you know, Black Friday,
up until after Christmas, So you.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Have to take a grain of salt.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
But certainly AI is systematically taking away jobs. As am
Amazon deployees mass systems of automation, you're guaranteed to systematically
reduce jobs, especially the kind that that Amazon does have
people employed to do.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Well, that's a whole other thing too that you just mentioned,
and I you know, I didn't think.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
About that, but you know, these are the jobs that
are announced to be laid off.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Now, well, come what.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Happens come post Christmas and they've already delivered all the
packages and whatnot.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Will there be another round? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:31):
There is every year, justin it seems like every year
after the holidays there's there's a drop. But they also
sometimes have a hiring surge just prior to the Black
Friday Cyber Monday type type time because that's their busiest
delivery season of the year, is a couple of weeks
before Black Friday Cyber Monday up until the end of
the year, just after Christmas.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
That's their busiest time of year.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
But yeah, there's certainly I mean last year, what was
like thirty thousand or something we're laid off after Christmas.
I don't remember the number, but I remember we're talking
about it.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Hey, just the reminder, folks. I know sometimes it can
seem convenient, and it certainly is. I mean, I went
somewhere local yesterday to try to give them my business, try.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
To give them money.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I said, I can go online and get this, and
I can get it so much cheaper.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I just showed them that.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
This whole conversation I didn't have with the owner of
the place. It was just somebody working there, and I
thought to myself, and it just fell on deaf ears.
But I thought, it's kind of frustrating because I thought
to myself, I really do and I think we ought
to try and give folks locally the business first.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Try.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
I know you're all in on that, but this is
a serious thing. These are people in our own backyards.
They're the ones who are sponsoring Little League teams and
fundraising for school prize whatever it might be, and all
the rest of it. They're the ones employing people right
here in your own backyard. And this Amazon thing, not
only is it destroying if you think about it, some
(22:54):
of these local businesses, but at the same time, I
mean they're gonna have to lay off people.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Yeah, justin that's right. I mean you think of what
is Amazon doing with their money. You can dig into
their you know, donations, sending celebrities into the space when
when we're trying to you know, have enough money to
put gas in the car, feed our family, keep the
lights on, you know.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
And that's that's where your your local business they need
to be there.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
And it's it's not just about the local business being
there as like a good feeling thing justin it's reality.
If we have any hard times in our society, the
first thing that gets turned off, like last Monday, was Amazon. Right,
if you have some problem, even if the powers off,
I'm still a physical person that can provide a service
in our local community.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
We cannot ever lose that as the as the backbone
of our country.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
And even if you think about it just an emergency scenario,
the local community is what's going to bring us through
and bring us back together if we have any kind
of natural disaster or you know, some some bigger international issue.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, that's that's the issue.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
That's the problem, and it's it's not one I think
that's fallen on deaf ears. I think more and more
people are aware of it, more so than they ever
have been, but they continue to look at here's here's
something and you talk about AI and people getting laid.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Off, and it's a real I think it's a real question.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
I think a lot of people haven't really spent a
lot of time dealing with it, but some have. CBS
News is reporting many big names in group of unlikely
allies seeking ban for now on AI super intelligence. Now,
I don't know about you, but this is an interesting question.
And you walk the line if you look at all
(24:41):
these celebrities and these dignitaries and people that signed off
on this.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
But it's a who's who, big list of names.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
From tech pioneers Steve Wosney, act Prince Harry, and Megan Markle, Like,
why are.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
You even on this list?
Speaker 3 (24:55):
But Steve Bannon calling for an immediate ban on the
de development of so called super intelligent AI, wanting the
race to build machines smarter than humans could threaten human
freedoms and safety. Now the question is, and while I agree,
the question is, well what if China does this?
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Yeah, justin I mean, this is a good that people
put their name on a letter to say, hey, there's
there's serious risks here. But sad like you just mentioned
justin let's just say we stopped, you know, AI in
China or Russia or some other countries continued to development
and took us took over the world militarily because AI
does feel like it is the future, whether it's military,
(25:40):
whether it's it's societal norms.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
The biggest reason why justin AI.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
We could come up with all bad things about AI
and whatever else. The biggest issue AI is the unknown factor. Right,
you look in the past technology advancements. You look at
the pony Express, the mail service, right, it was replaced
with the telegram, and it was replaced with with trains,
you know, railroads. Look at the amount of people that
(26:05):
were employed in those technology improvements to build the infrastructure,
and look at the opportunities that provide. So we're used
to technology advancements providing amazing job opportunities is what we're
used to. But with with a's that it feels like
it's going to completely decimate massive amounts of job opportunities.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
And with.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Yeah, how what's going to happen to people? I mean,
can people handle a job? Can people handle jeitting around?
I mean, what's the what's the social implication of.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
That that's funny, Jason says, all those scary movies about
AI and computers and robots taking over, and it's like nobody,
nobody was paying attention. Now we're it's like we're right
there in it right now, and uh, you know we're here.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
We made it. We're right in the middle of the
of the movie.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Hey, if you have a Gmail account, here's something that
you might want to be concerned about right now.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
You may want to check your password.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
According to the Latest Threat, there's been a major breach
one hundred and eighty three email passwords exposed in the
latest League Trent.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Here's another one, Justin.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
We see these weekly. It's it becomes old news. We
come hardened to it. This happens every three to six
months with almost every account that's out there, whether it's
email or your bank account or whatever. Sadly, with data breaches.
The key here is justin is two factor authentication.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
It's not per gives you a massive boost in security.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
You got if you don't have two factor security set
up on all of your accounts or all of your
major accounts like email, banking, set it up immediately today.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Explain Explain what that is for folks. If you have
a breach, ya explain what that is for folks.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
In fact, it's.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Basically like having two passwords justin so you have your
login password and then you have a live code authenticator
app or a text code that's sent to text message
to verify who you are, and that gives a If
they just have your password, they still can't get into
your account. Then without access to your phone and a
two factor code, a second way to authenticate yourself.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
It's a huge protect right now. It is critically required
in today's world.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
If you don't have two factor it's just a matter
of time before your account will get hacked.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, that's just the unfortunate truth about it all. Okay,
I'm just looking.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Like maybe maybe it's you know, maybe it's Halloween weeks,
so I think we could probably we could probably skip.
This is three i AT lists coming for us and
is it controlled by someone or something else? Maybe that's
a standalade Halloween spedition with you. UFOs are so last year.
(29:03):
Let's talk about usos Unidentified submersible objects, lots of them.
These are some of the stories that are real kind
of creepy. I don't know about you, Trent but I an'tyone.
Some of this stuff I don't even want to think about.
But it is, it's it's out there. We'll just leave
it at that. Maybe an ai aless you get a minute,
(29:24):
an extra minute, just look maybe look that one up
and see what you think about what they say about
this unidentified object that's way out in the space that
some think may may actually not be natural.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
That's I'll just I'll just leave it at that.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
But what about some of the news that's coming out,
some of the other news. We're just talking about twenty
twenty eight, and some people have lost their minds thinking
it's going to be, you know, Trump twenty twenty eight.
I don't know if you've seen the hats, et cetera.
Trump names the ticket he'd like to see. Have you
s seeing this, he thinks it would be unstoppable, saying
(30:04):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Sure anybody would run against him. It's just that good.
Trump on board Air Force one during.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
The UH they're in the conversation there and says he
thinks two people, particularly and in currently inside of the
current administration.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
They are good to be.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Very good or no, we have great people.
Speaker 7 (30:31):
I don't have to get into that but we have
one of them standing right here. We have JD. Obviously
the vice president is great. I think Marco is great.
I think I'm not sure if anybody would run against us.
I think if they have a formed a group would
be unstoppable.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
I really do. I believe that I would. I would,
I would.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
Love to do it, and I have my best numbers.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Ever, it's very terrible.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
I have my best numbers. You read it.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Am I not ruling it out? And you'll have to
tell me. All I can tell you is that we
have to see, she asked. She asked him about that's
the whole Hey, are you gonna run in twenty twenty
ain't Trump? What are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (31:10):
They're trying to get their media headline. Another hilarious moment,
But yeah, there you have it. His is Marco, Rubio
and JD. Vance would be a powerhouse if if they
ran in twenty twenty eight. He calls them unstoppable together.
Probably be Vance as the president, right because you can't.
I don't think you're running another eight years as vice
(31:32):
president and then be Rubio as the as the vice president.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
That's interesting.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
I don't I don't know where do you stand on
that great conversation question to be asked
By from hyatap 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. At six one six seven
seven four twenty four twenty four, it's West Michigan Live
with Justin Barklay on Wood Radio. Now.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Welcome in, folks, a big day.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
It is another round of news you may not hear
anywhere else, the stories they don't want you to hear.
In fact, these are those stories coming at you loud
and clear. With a Tech Talk Tuesday topper our good
Front Trink and Abby Affordable I Store, Lake Michigan drives
at Grand over Tech joining us with the latest big
(00:47):
news that Amazon layoffs.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
But that's not it. A big group of people getting
the other.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Say, Man, we should ban Ai and this Ai to
blame for some of this Amazon.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Actually we'll get into that book.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Us Weather and traffic, i'm the big stories of the day.
We are talking about what matters most in West Michigan
and beyond.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
He's the big three story is power.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
My good friends at Heartland Home Mortgage, I Refy Home
ECHE do you want to credit, they can help you
do all three. Our good friend they have gataway making
sure that that's possible for you. Dave is go He
goes above and beyond it, so does the whole team there.
I gotta tell you, we've not only bought our home
(01:37):
with Heartland home mortgage, we refinanced it and we did
a home equity line of credit.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
We couldn't be happier.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
They're faster, they're better than the big banks, and I
think you'll find that too. They have a personalized touch
that you just can't beat. AJM Lending, dot Com reaw Well.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Trump's trip has brought rect.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
New high stock market cruising and now high altitude let's
just call it flying high.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Why A lot of it.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Is based on what they think is about to happen.
Not only did we see major mooseappen the other day,
some of the trade talks, but China big driver of this.
China turns out they think they may be able to
get a deal. They may be able to remove some
of the terrafs, and then they may said really big action,
(02:33):
which oh yeah, and a deal to sell TikTok, which
might be in our conversation today trend as well, but
investors already seeing that inflation news over the weekends sent
the markets flying, and then yesterday they're starting to make
more of this end.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
They opened really high. I think we were up a couple.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Hundred points, and if we look at the pre market trading,
obviously we'll get an actual open here twenty minutes, but
futures are already up two hundred open AI completing their restructuring,
solidifying Microsoft major shareholder in that mix as well. Again,
it's all part of the conversations this morning.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Detroit cops.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
That's Mayor Duggan Detroit Dell supposedly the best mayor in
the entire country, according to the billboards and all the
raw ra hoopla. But if he's the best mayor in
the entire country in detroit's so amazing. How come Detroit
comps are having to warn parents trust but verify that
(03:38):
Halloween candy that's being handed out could be laced with drugs.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
That doesn't seem like a great.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Story for a guy that's running on his track record
as a mayor trying to become the governor of Michigan.
Police warning parents to check Halloween candy after discovering drug
lace treats. This guy's his popular snacks like Dorito's, nerds,
airheads and more, all of them containing things like THC
(04:12):
magic mushrooms, clearly labeled for adults but made to look
like real candy. Authorities say there's no real sign they
were memphicates, but the concern of a mix up could
be could be a big one. And finally, Hurricane Melissa
marching on towards Jamaican now upgraded to a category five.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
One of the latest on these stories.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
And more is that, folks, they are embracing as the
hurricane headed their way. I just unimaginably the size, the
scope of it, and the strength. Right now, military sending
in their planes to do some of that observation that
(04:54):
they do when.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
These types of things happen. You know, been kind of
whyat season for hurricane at least in the Gulf.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
And you're in the United States altogether, which as some
I'm wondering why why?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Is that great question? We'll talk about that too coming up, folks.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Oh yeah, maybe even an after show conversation.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
There's question about.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
What Trump may be doing, or now I know it
sounds crazy, what he may not be doing, which I think,
but it's it's a fascinating conversation.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Nevertheless, call Justin now at six one six seven seven
four four twenty four. That's 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.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
A f m. Yeah, we are flying high here today
as well, as I mentioned, lots lots of discuss now
vote in the Senate yesterday shut down now nearing the
one month mark, which I think you know. To me,
it's really sad. I don't know about you, but I
(06:09):
see people and this whole idea online that Republicans or
conservatives don't.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Care about other people as well.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Somebody I want you have a post up yesterday on Facebook,
by the way, which is where we stream the show
on a daily basis. We see the behind the scenes
live stream each and every day at Facebook, Twitter, x Rumble,
get Her Locals YouTube. So if you're looking for like
a Halloween trick smooth, go watch go watch me. But
(06:37):
some of the cool things about the behindus did You
can see videos and stories and things we're talking about guests.
Sometimes you'll get to see Trent this morning, so you
get a twofer. But you know, the interesting thing to
me about all of this, and you know, Glenn talked
about this yesterday and it's really to me, I thought
was kind of fascinating. The the mantra of the left Democrats,
(07:04):
especially over the last several years, have been that Republicans, Conservatives,
people on the right, they don't they don't they don't
care about the kids, They don't care about the least
of these, which is not true. It you and I
(07:24):
both know, and as a Christian, uh, we're instructed to
care about the least of these.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Now, the conversation takes an abrupt turn.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
When they instruct you that, you know, because this is
the way the liberals see the world, that you not
only are you supposed to care about the least of these,
but you're support you're supposed to support robbing people, essentially
taking money from others to then give it to the
government to disperse. And I would put my charitable giving
up against any of these you know, keyboard clowns on
(07:59):
LFE making these points any day.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Now.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I'm not like, you know, the biggest you know, but
but we do give and we love doing it. By
the way, I don't want to be told to give
that would ruin it. You just get a joy. And
but if you've never done this, and I know, art
we have one of the most generous audiences because of
(08:24):
all the giving of the things that happened.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
By the way we're getting, we're gearing up for it.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
The Turkey drop is coming up again this year, and
you every year you just blow us out of the water.
The things that you do to support this area and
of course people that are in need. Of course I'm
each year being a part of that has just been
such a blessing.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
But I digress.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
What I'm what I'm saying is Glenn's audience the same
way it turns to something different when it's taken from
you and then somebody else, some common are somewhere, somebody
else deep state, you know, entrenched making you know, some
fat cat salary, you know, living in the swamp somewhere,
(09:11):
gets to decide who gets what and who's worthy and.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
All that other stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
That's never the way it was meant to be in
fact in the Bible. If you're not to get to
a preachy here, but I'll just talk about the facts,
which is, you know, Jesus asked us each to do
our part right. Essentially that the whole thing is summed up,
all of the law, you know, the thing, commandments, et cetera,
(09:40):
is being replaced by by this newall, which is love
God and love others. So that's essentially what we're called
to do, love God, and that love people like yourself.
So you have that, would that would incorporate making sure
that you are generous and giving to others, helping people
when they're in need. There is a difference between a
(10:01):
hand out and a hand down. And there's a bigger
difference now between or a hand up rather and a
bigger difference of what Schumer is trying to do with
this shutdown, which is to keep his hand on the
mouths of these starving kids. This is just absolutely unthinkable.
(10:22):
What's about ready to happen. Forty some odd million people
here in the country are going to be without now
food assistance. Now this is going to call this issues
hunger starvation. There's going to be issues with people. There
could be unrest, could be all kinds of things. By
the way, this comes from the party that tells you
(10:45):
and has for years, Republicans don't care about the kids.
What does this say Schumer, and there's various reasons why
they want to do this. This Continuing Resolution, just call
the facts out here was passed by the Republicans in
the House. The House passed the continuing Resolution, which means
(11:08):
we keep government flowing while we negotiate the budget.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
That's how it should work.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
They don't want that Schumer who's leading the Senate right now,
Democrat Senate majority or excuse me, minority leader.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
He's leading the Senate Democrats.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Let me make sure I correct myself, because Republicans have
control in the Senate, but they don't have enough vote
votes because when you want to pass the budget, got
to have sixty votes. Now, they could go the nuclear out,
which is get rid of the filbuster. Whether they do
that or not, whether that's a good move or not,
it's a whole nother conversation.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
We'll put that to the side for now.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Right now, you need sixty votes to get the continuing Resolution,
which means we keep the government funded at the same levels.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
There's nothing radical here.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
You keep the government funded at the same levels that
it's been operating, just so you can begin the negotiation prior.
There's a lot on the line. By the way, they
don't even want the government open and running. Why, Well,
a radical left wing of the party, the extremist Marxist
(12:16):
AOC wing, has really taken control.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Well, they've given them control.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Schumer's so afraid that AOC may run primary him, run
against him and win.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
In New York. So that's a piece of this.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
The other piece is everything Donald Trump does is bad, right,
so they have to inflict as much pain.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
In fact, they've said as much.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
They're gonna inflict as much pain as possible so that
people get it. Up until this point, you said government shutdown.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
That a big deal.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
But you got a couple of things that are about
ready to happen starting November one, so snap benefit's drying up. Secondly,
you got folks like air traffic controllers who are going
to stop getting paychecks.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
This is a big problem.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
They want you and just remember this when you're in
the when you're in the airport, when you're dealing with
whatever you're dealing with, or you've got kids that are
going hungry, you remember this. This is the This is
the Democrats. So this is where they're headed. I I
(13:39):
can't say it enough, but it has to be said
so that people realize. I think people are waking up
day by day. But what you're watching for the Democrat
Party the route is the people that are being exposed.
It's to find out on a new level every single day.
They never cared about the kids, They never cared about you.
(14:04):
They only care about power and just dramatically transforming the
United States of America to a place where.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
It's not even recognizable anymore.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
And you know, you see that with Bondani and the
rest of these communists, they're not hiding it anymore. So
I pray that we get things back on track here.
But the other question that I asked it yesterday, which
I think is a fair one, and you really ought
to do some examining here. Why do we have I
heard it's twelve percent one point four million here in Michigan,
(14:40):
forty some odd million throughout the country. Why do we
have twelve percent of Americans on the food assistance?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Now that is some food for thought.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Well, dig in, coming out, hang out, folks back after
this on West Michigan Live, don't go anywhere in the meantime.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Informative in Ghijie.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
It's West Michigan Live with Justin Barclay on News Radio
Wood thirteen hundred and one oh six nine a f M.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You're a smart speaker, Smarter stream US, Okay, getting smarter.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Now it's Western Michigan Live with Justin Barclay on News
Radio Wood thirteen hundred and one oh six nine.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Or Headlines from the midwestern Er this Tuesday, October twenty eighth.
I'm Robin Hoffman. Alyssa Slockin wants to ban cell phones
in schools here in Michigan, but House Democrats apparently don't
agree with her plan. Not a single Democrat here in
the House supporting her proposal to ban phones and all
K through twelve schools. GM cuts another two hundred jobs
(16:52):
here in Michigan despite hundreds of millions in corporate welfare.
Governor Whitmer and certain lawmakers secretly negotiated more than six
hundred million in corporate incentives for EV production and north
of one hundred and fifty million in tax breaks for
GM back in twenty twenty two. In other news, the
government shut down now.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
For so coming up, we got news bottom the hour.
We're gonna get to that, we get the markets opening,
We'll have the latest. I will tell you it is
quite a wild ride. You have on one hand, and
I think this that just needs to be it really
needs to be highlighted. But the judgtaposition about the markets
and the high flying what's happening, whether there's an AI.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Bubble or.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
What's happening is these deals come together, trade, et cetera.
And at the same time, we've seen gold and silver
at these record numbers in their prices. We've seen now
people record numbers on assistance, which is another whole nother
question is how can the two be the same?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
You know you're watching these two things happen. This is
because the richer getting richer and the poor getting poor.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
And that is by design. Let me make this even
more clear, that's by Democrat design. That's how exactly how
they want it. Why because the more poor you are,
the less independent you can be, the more dependent you
need to.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Be on the federal government.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
And you will come to them not just with hat
in hand, but you will also come to them trying
to get them to solve every single problem. And Glenn
said this yesterday, but the system is not loving. It's
very cold. And you know, Trump is finally announced who
he would be for matter of fact, he calls the
ticket Unstoppable coming up in twenty twenty eight. We're going
(18:39):
to get to that coming up here in just a
little bit, plus some more clips we didn't have a
chance to play yesterday, and a few that we should
probably make sure that we get to today. That's all
coming up in the next half hour here on West
Michigan Line. But first let's make sure we talk to
our good friend Trent. Can there be affordabilized or he's
got the latest.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Tack into the latest intel and how it affects you
and your world. This is Tech Talk Tuesday on Wood Radios,
West Michigan Live.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
I saw this story and this is I think you're
gonna see more and more of this lar layoffs. Amazon
to begin cutting jobs, lots of them. I've seen as
high as thirty thousand. I Trent, we have insurance giant
Akrascher here in our own backyard that said they're going
to cut four hundred over the next year, two hundred
(19:29):
of those coming from West Michigan. These are people, well
I think may have just gotten jobs. This is kind
of wild, but it's gonna cut out the middleman. I
don't know if AI is to blame with Amazon or
if you've learned anything about this story.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
But it's a big story.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
We had the Amazon outage last week with Amazon Web services.
I talked to one of the guys here sports guys
said he thinks it's because they paid too much for
NFL and they're streaming.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
There could be a number of reasons for this.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I think maybe they tried to grow to fast during
the COVID days. They thought they were going to always
have that growth forever and ever up into the right
and turns out that that's not the case.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Justin the Amazon story is something that you have to
take with a grain of salt. Because Amazon is such
a big company, they can fluctuate massive amounts employees. They
could fluctuate ten or twenty thousand employees because of seasonal
demand for deliveries, because of the supply chain just not
requiring that many people if their sales are lower, So
(20:33):
they might be using AI as the scapegoat or blame
to try more palatable when really their sales maybe are
down or that seasonally they're down and they might pick up,
you know, ten thousand drivers on the holiday and that
might not get reported, keep them from you know, Black Friday,
up until after Christmas, So you.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Have to take a grain of salt.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
But certainly AI is systematically taking away jobs. As am
Amazon deployees mass systems of automation, you're guaranteed to systematically
reduce jobs, especially the kind that that Amazon does have
people employed to do.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Well, that's a whole other thing too that you just mentioned,
and I you know, I didn't think.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
About that, but you know, these are the jobs that
are announced to be laid off.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Now, well, come what.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Happens come post Christmas and they've already delivered all the
packages and whatnot.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Will there be another round? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:31):
There is every year, justin it seems like every year
after the holidays there's there's a drop. But they also
sometimes have a hiring surge just prior to the Black
Friday Cyber Monday type type time because that's their busiest
delivery season of the year, is a couple of weeks
before Black Friday Cyber Monday up until the end of
the year, just after Christmas.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
That's their busiest time of year.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
But yeah, there's certainly I mean last year, what was
like thirty thousand or something we're laid off after Christmas.
I don't remember the number, but I remember we're talking
about it.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Hey, just the reminder, folks. I know sometimes it can
seem convenient, and it certainly is. I mean, I went
somewhere local yesterday to try to give them my business, try.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
To give them money.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I said, I can go online and get this, and
I can get it so much cheaper.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I just showed them that.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
This whole conversation I didn't have with the owner of
the place. It was just somebody working there, and I
thought to myself, and it just fell on deaf ears.
But I thought, it's kind of frustrating because I thought
to myself, I really do and I think we ought
to try and give folks locally the business first.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Try.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
I know you're all in on that, but this is
a serious thing. These are people in our own backyards.
They're the ones who are sponsoring Little League teams and
fundraising for school prize whatever it might be, and all
the rest of it. They're the ones employing people right
here in your own backyard. And this Amazon thing, not
only is it destroying if you think about it, some
(22:54):
of these local businesses, but at the same time, I
mean they're gonna have to lay off people.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Yeah, justin that's right. I mean you think of what
is Amazon doing with their money. You can dig into
their you know, donations, sending celebrities into the space when
when we're trying to you know, have enough money to
put gas in the car, feed our family, keep the
lights on, you know.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
And that's that's where your your local business they need
to be there.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
And it's it's not just about the local business being
there as like a good feeling thing justin it's reality.
If we have any hard times in our society, the
first thing that gets turned off, like last Monday, was Amazon. Right,
if you have some problem, even if the powers off,
I'm still a physical person that can provide a service
in our local community.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
We cannot ever lose that as the as the backbone
of our country.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
And even if you think about it just an emergency scenario,
the local community is what's going to bring us through
and bring us back together if we have any kind
of natural disaster or you know, some some bigger international issue.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, that's that's the issue.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
That's the problem, and it's it's not one I think
that's fallen on deaf ears. I think more and more
people are aware of it, more so than they ever
have been, but they continue to look at here's here's
something and you talk about AI and people getting laid.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Off, and it's a real I think it's a real question.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
I think a lot of people haven't really spent a
lot of time dealing with it, but some have. CBS
News is reporting many big names in group of unlikely
allies seeking ban for now on AI super intelligence. Now,
I don't know about you, but this is an interesting question.
And you walk the line if you look at all
(24:41):
these celebrities and these dignitaries and people that signed off
on this.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
But it's a who's who, big list of names.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
From tech pioneers Steve Wosney, act Prince Harry, and Megan Markle, Like,
why are.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
You even on this list?
Speaker 3 (24:55):
But Steve Bannon calling for an immediate ban on the
de development of so called super intelligent AI, wanting the
race to build machines smarter than humans could threaten human
freedoms and safety. Now the question is, and while I agree,
the question is, well what if China does this?
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Yeah, justin I mean, this is a good that people
put their name on a letter to say, hey, there's
there's serious risks here. But sad like you just mentioned
justin let's just say we stopped, you know, AI in
China or Russia or some other countries continued to development
and took us took over the world militarily because AI
does feel like it is the future, whether it's military,
(25:40):
whether it's it's societal norms.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
The biggest reason why justin AI.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
We could come up with all bad things about AI
and whatever else. The biggest issue AI is the unknown factor. Right,
you look in the past technology advancements. You look at
the pony Express, the mail service, right, it was replaced
with the telegram, and it was replaced with with trains,
you know, railroads. Look at the amount of people that
(26:05):
were employed in those technology improvements to build the infrastructure,
and look at the opportunities that provide. So we're used
to technology advancements providing amazing job opportunities is what we're
used to. But with with a's that it feels like
it's going to completely decimate massive amounts of job opportunities.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
And with.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Yeah, how what's going to happen to people? I mean,
can people handle a job? Can people handle jeitting around?
I mean, what's the what's the social implication of.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
That that's funny, Jason says, all those scary movies about
AI and computers and robots taking over, and it's like nobody,
nobody was paying attention. Now we're it's like we're right
there in it right now, and uh, you know we're here.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
We made it. We're right in the middle of the
of the movie.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Hey, if you have a Gmail account, here's something that
you might want to be concerned about right now.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
You may want to check your password.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
According to the Latest Threat, there's been a major breach
one hundred and eighty three email passwords exposed in the
latest League Trent.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Here's another one, Justin.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
We see these weekly. It's it becomes old news. We
come hardened to it. This happens every three to six
months with almost every account that's out there, whether it's
email or your bank account or whatever. Sadly, with data breaches.
The key here is justin is two factor authentication.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
It's not per gives you a massive boost in security.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
You got if you don't have two factor security set
up on all of your accounts or all of your
major accounts like email, banking, set it up immediately today.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Explain Explain what that is for folks. If you have
a breach, ya explain what that is for folks.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
In fact, it's.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Basically like having two passwords justin so you have your
login password and then you have a live code authenticator
app or a text code that's sent to text message
to verify who you are, and that gives a If
they just have your password, they still can't get into
your account. Then without access to your phone and a
two factor code, a second way to authenticate yourself.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
It's a huge protect right now. It is critically required
in today's world.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
If you don't have two factor it's just a matter
of time before your account will get hacked.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, that's just the unfortunate truth about it all. Okay,
I'm just looking.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Like maybe maybe it's you know, maybe it's Halloween weeks,
so I think we could probably we could probably skip.
This is three i AT lists coming for us and
is it controlled by someone or something else? Maybe that's
a standalade Halloween spedition with you. UFOs are so last year.
(29:03):
Let's talk about usos Unidentified submersible objects, lots of them.
These are some of the stories that are real kind
of creepy. I don't know about you, Trent but I an'tyone.
Some of this stuff I don't even want to think about.
But it is, it's it's out there. We'll just leave
it at that. Maybe an ai aless you get a minute,
(29:24):
an extra minute, just look maybe look that one up
and see what you think about what they say about
this unidentified object that's way out in the space that
some think may may actually not be natural.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
That's I'll just I'll just leave it at that.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
But what about some of the news that's coming out,
some of the other news. We're just talking about twenty
twenty eight, and some people have lost their minds thinking
it's going to be, you know, Trump twenty twenty eight.
I don't know if you've seen the hats, et cetera.
Trump names the ticket he'd like to see. Have you
s seeing this, he thinks it would be unstoppable, saying
(30:04):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Sure anybody would run against him. It's just that good.
Trump on board Air Force one during.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
The UH they're in the conversation there and says he
thinks two people, particularly and in currently inside of the
current administration.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
They are good to be.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Very good or no, we have great people.
Speaker 7 (30:31):
I don't have to get into that but we have
one of them standing right here. We have JD. Obviously
the vice president is great. I think Marco is great.
I think I'm not sure if anybody would run against us.
I think if they have a formed a group would
be unstoppable.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
I really do. I believe that I would. I would,
I would.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
Love to do it, and I have my best numbers.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Ever, it's very terrible.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
I have my best numbers. You read it.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Am I not ruling it out? And you'll have to
tell me. All I can tell you is that we
have to see, she asked. She asked him about that's
the whole Hey, are you gonna run in twenty twenty
ain't Trump? What are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (31:10):
They're trying to get their media headline. Another hilarious moment,
But yeah, there you have it. His is Marco, Rubio
and JD. Vance would be a powerhouse if if they
ran in twenty twenty eight. He calls them unstoppable together.
Probably be Vance as the president, right because you can't.
I don't think you're running another eight years as vice
(31:32):
president and then be Rubio as the as the vice president.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
That's interesting.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
I don't I don't know where do you stand on
that great conversation question to be asked
