Peace talks took center stage at the White House as President Trump hosted Ukraine’s Zelenskyy—who even showed up in a suit—alongside top EU leaders, with Trump promising U.S. backing for European security guarantees and pushing for a face-to-face with Putin next. Meanwhile, a Tax Foundation analysis says Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” delivers Michigan families an average $3,000 tax cut while boosting jobs nationwide, and fresh FBI numbers rank Saginaw and Detroit among America’s most violent cities—fueling debates over crime, leadership, and policy priorities.

(02:50):
the New Tax Foundation analysis says President Trump's One Big
Beautiful Bill has delivered an average of three thousand dollars
in tax cut savings from Michigan statewide relieve shown in
its state and county map projects meaningful job gains, nationals investment,
exposing are expensing rather kicks in. We've got some of
(03:13):
these latest details. It's not all sunshine, rainbows and.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Puppy kisses in Michigan. Unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
New stats out of Governor Gretchen Whitmer's Michigan and Mayor
of Detroit Mike Duggan, who would like.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
To be governor his city of Detroit.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
FBI now saying, according to the data, Saginaw ranked third
most violent city in the United States. Sag nasty, Detroit
comeing Aga in seventh. Now, these people tell you, particularly
the mayor of Detroit. Mike Dougan thinks he's doing a
(03:55):
fantastic job banging up. In fact, there are a few
folks that feel like he ought to be running the state. Well,
if you want the state to run like the city
of Detroit, I guess that's up to you.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
But it is well it ought to be mentioned at
least anyway. These stories that you just won't hear anywhere else.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Are Big three Today More coming up a tech talk segment,
Good Friend Trent, Can it be affordable? Lize Store, Lake, Michigan,
Drive in Standale on the way. First chance to hear
from you.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Call Justin now at six one six seven seven four
twenty four to twenty four at six one six seven
seven four twenty four to twenty four, West Michigan Live
with Justin Barclay on News Radio Wood thirteen hundred and
one oh six nine a f m.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Speaking of crime statistics, Is it a coincidence? We'll talk
about this a little bit later on Good News DC.
Crime stats are falling off a cliff?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Is that is that a Is it a cool? Incidents?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Trump's staying old Zelensky yesterday? I thought it was really interesting,
you know, he kind of he really talked him up.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
When he came.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Of course he did sort of the first time tongue
in cheek, but this time I think he was glad
to see him in US. Now, I don't know about
the suit choice. Will you talk about Zelenski in the
suit and whatnot? Uh, it did look like it came
from J. C. Penney's. I don't know. I don't know,
maybe Ben's warehouse or what not. But there's breaking news
(05:32):
this morning on this story and President Trump speaking with
Fox News earlier today about the manager.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
I want to end it. You know, we're not losing
American lives. We're not losing American soldiers. We're losing Russian
and Ukrainian mostly soldiers. Some people as missiles hit wrong
spots or get lobbed into cities like Kievan towns. But
you know what, if I can save seven thousand people
a week from being killed, I think that's a pretty
(06:00):
to try and get to heaven if possible. I'm hearing
I'm not doing well. I really at the bottom of
the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven,
this will be one of the reasons. Well, I think
I saved a lot of lives with India. Pakist said
they were going at it. There was the planes were
being shot down. That was going to be maybe a
nuclear war if I let that go, and I did
that through trade, I was, I just want to end it.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I want to you know what's interesting to hear by
the way. He talked with the folks on Fox News,
Fox and Friends this morning and a couple of interesting
things came out. We have more clips from that conversation
this morning.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I think that I'd like to get to heaven. He says.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Here he is said one of the things at the
table was one of the gentlemen who's a great guy.
But he said, I hope I didn't insult him. He said, well,
let's meet in another month or two and let's see
if we can start, you know, making some money. He said,
a month or two, you can have another forty thou
people dead. In you have to do it tonight, and
(07:02):
I did. Actually, I called President Putin and we're trying
to work out a meeting with President Zelensky. We'll see
what happens there and then if that works out. If
it works out, then I'll go to the trilab and
close it up.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
They want to get everybody together. That's that's the story.
They want to get everybody together in the same room
for this. Putin, Zelensky and Trump. One of the most
interesting images yesterday. We're showing it on the screen right
now behind the scenes livestream which you can watch justin
Marklay dot com Facebook to a retro will get her
(07:36):
locals YouTube. But one of the most interesting is the
pictures there the EU leadership, Zelenski as well in the
Oval office and they're all sitting around Trump and his
desk at some point, which which is really there's some
(07:57):
iconic stuff coming out of this, which I think will
be something to keep an eye on. We're gonna, we're
gonna we're gonna watch some of this. We're gonna watch
some of this, keep a close look on it.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
What happened on that phone call between Putin it because
there was a moment yesterday where they're all meeting together
and Trump sort of says, hang on, let me get
let me get Putin on the phone. Secretary of State
Marco Rubio talking about that.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Were you in the room when the President talked to
Vladimir Putin? I was, I was, and I'm in that
conversation you know what came from it is that, you know,
the President suggested that Zelensky and Putin meet. So we're
working on that now to try to set that up
for them to meet somewhere, which again would be unprecedented,
and then if that goes well, hopefully the next meeting
(08:51):
will be a meeting between Presidents Putin, Trump and Zelensky
where we hope to Findaliza deal. We're not there yet,
but that's what we're aiming towards, and that's one of
the things that was discussed today is how to get
to that point. But just the fact that Putin is saying, sure,
I'll meet with Zelenski, that's a big deal. I mean,
I'm not saying they're going to leave that room best friends.
I'm not saying they're going to leave that room with
a peace deal. But I think the fact that people
(09:12):
are now talking to each other. This wasn't happening for
three and a half years. This was a stalemated war
of death and destruction. And let me tell you something,
this president hates war and he hates it. He thinks
it's a waste of money and a waste of lives,
and he has made it a priority. President Trump has
to bring about peace. If he sees an opportunity to
step in and broker a piece, he wants to do it.
(09:33):
He's been successful already six times in six months and
achieving that, and he wants to achieve it with Ukraine
and Russia's well.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Some of the things I'm seeing online coming from folks
on the left is just absolutely delusional. And again I
go back to this to keep saying, well, why do
you hate peace so much? I mean, it's not that
they hate peace, they hate Trump, but they also hate
Putin equally. And I'm not saying Putin's a guy that
anyone ought to, you know, like aspire to be or
anything like that. At the same time, I don't think
(10:01):
Zelensky's clean either. There's lots of well I think this
is documented too, but there's lots of corruption on the
Ukraine side. But between all of this, stuck right in
the middle are innocent people who, again Trump just mentioned
(10:21):
on Fox News this morning, are losing their lives. There
are innocent people who are caught up in all of
this who are losing their lives, and it's time to
end the bloodshed. It's time to end all of the fighting,
and it is time to get things back on track
for peace again. The next step getting them all together.
(10:43):
Peace talks went well from what everything we can hear now.
I think there are some left wing outlets, There are
some there's immediate types. There are some left wing folks
that say it didn't. But they said the same thing
about Alaska. I don't really know what they're going to
do when the peace breaks out. It's gonna be a
(11:05):
you're gonna have to check on these people because I
don't know what they're going to be able to go to.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Next.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Well, they're still trying to push the Epstein uh, and
that's an important subject. But again, which one is more
important trying to find get peace taken care of here
or or or or digging up and getting into the
story which they're now trying to make about Trump, which.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
You know, actually have an update on that too coming up.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Let me let me get cause there's some interesting meetings
happening hearing yesterday on Capitol that will get into that
coming up. So again they'll move to meet face to
face Trump, Zolensky and Putin will get it all.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
And of course the latest for you coming up and.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
A Taktok segment with our good friend Trink can maybe
affordableized store week.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Michigan Drive and stand out the latest.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Well, they say, if you got's going in that you
used to push like parents used to push for this
sort of high level education at least in a couple
of these films, Law Medicine. There's a few more. But
what are what are they saying now? And who says, hey,
you know, you may not may want to take a
look at something else. We'll give you the advice straight
from Google and those executives who are in the now on.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
The y f YI like literally, it's West Michigan Live

one oh six nine a f M.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
Here are your headlines from the Midwesterner this Tuesday, August nineteenth.
I'm Robin Hoffman. It's a Midwesterner dot News original story.
A study from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation shows folks who
live here in Michigan we'll see about a three thousand
dollars tax cut as a result of President Trump's Big
Beautiful Bill. Major job growth also predicted. New FBI data
(12:52):
find Saginaw ranked the third most violent city in the country,
with Detroit coming in seventh. The rankings are based on
a for fourteen million crimes documented last year through the
FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program. And President Trump meets with
Ukrainian President Zelensky and European leaders at the White House.
This meeting follows Friday's summit between Trump and Russian President
(13:15):
Putin in Alaska.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
We also need to discuss the possible exchanges of territory
taken into consideration the current line of contact that means
the war zone, the war lines.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
For these stories and more, visit the Midwesterner at the Midwesterner.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Dot News Big breaking news.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
The crime rate in VC stats looks like they're falling
off a cliff. I'm sure that's just a coincidence given
everything that's going on this morning. Okay, Tech Tuesday, A
segment is in full effect. Coming up a little bit
after the bottle of the ur news, we'll have the
(13:56):
latest nine thirty.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
What should your kids be doing?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
We'll take you a couple of the fields they usually
be really really prestigious. Google execs are saying, probably not
a good way, especially with how much time you have
to spend studying in these with AI and everything else
and probably not good fields for you to go into.
We'll talk about that coming up, but first I want
to think the folks at the Good feed Store. Holy Molly,
(14:20):
every single day is like a new day. Walking on sunshine,
walking up the clouds. It feels amazing. And I gotta
tell you, your back, your legs, whatever you're going through,
you got pain.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Maybe it's just your feet.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Like me, for years, I struggled until I walked into
the Good feed Store.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
It's time. You've put it off.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
You probably put yourself last all summer long too, and
look at everything you missed out on that was summer's
coming to a close. In some ways, it still time.
We got plenty of good weather left, and you got
plenty of great time left to feel great every single day.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Do the things that you've always wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Take walks this fall in the crisp autumn air, sipping
on sider watching the leaves turn, get out and experience
all of the fun and the everyday life things that
you just have been putting off, not able to do
for far too long. I know because I was there too.
Don't put yourself last anymore. Take that first step to freedom,
(15:26):
The first step the living pain free.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
In fact, with the Good Feet Store.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I walked in and I got to tell you that
perfect fit the personalized art supports. They'll help you. It's possible.
They can help you like they help me. It's a
game changer. My pain has gone. It feel better and
I could do the things I always wanted to do.
So go today, have a Good Feed Store on twenty
eighth Street right in front of costco Or and Portage
on Westage in front of Cole's. Come in and experience
a good feet feeling for yourself at the Good Feet Store. Okay,
(15:55):
now we have new data crime. This is the DC
Police Union, by by the way, putting this information out.
Save your wondering.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Well, give me a fact check on this. Where's this? Companies?
Give me? Sorry?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
You always notice that if you post something that's common sense,
obvious and positive, you always have folks jumping in online
such stars SoRs. Sorry, you don't have access to this
thing called the Google's two DC crime Now, since the
announcement of a federal control, President Trump taking charge here
(16:28):
versus the seven days prior, robberies down forty six percent.
Ad W don't know what an ADW is? Hey, Adam,
can you look up what ADW is and crime crime stats?
ADW down six percent in DC. Whatever ADW is carjackings
(16:49):
knowing that is eighty three percent down eighty three percent
robberies and carjackings, massive car theft down. It's all with
a deadly weapon. WHOA wow, Yeah that didn't sound fun.
Car jacking down eighty three car theft down twenty one percent,
(17:09):
violent crimes down twenty two percent, property crimes six percent,
all crimes down eight percent. Well, federal assistance gives us
a boost. The DC Police Union says on a message
on X we must repeal the miss Guided Comprehensive Policing
and Justice Reform Act in order to make these changes permanent.
(17:32):
But that's big news, and I guarantee a story you're
not going to hear anywhere else.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
More of those. In fact, we're talking tech coming up next.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
That field or field is that you may not want
to push your kids to go. And these were formerly
like really prestigious. I still think they might be. But
they said, if the kids are going into school now,
all the studying and all the work they have to
do to get into them with AI, maybe not be
a great idea, right, now back after this West Michigan Line.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Wherever you are, stream us on your smart folks, West
Michigan Live with Justin Barklay on News Radio Wood thirteen
hundred and one oh six nine.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Back after it, folks, and yes, another big day in
lots of news.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
We'll cover it all.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
In fact, the latest after this segment what we heard
yesterday in behind the scenes backroom testimony about Epstein. I
just I haven't seen any of these major mainstream news
folks covering it yet. And when you hear the headline,
you'll probably you'll probably understand why we're going to break
(18:46):
that all down. Plus the after show Fastest Down Radio
is flying by. We appreciate you being here with us today, Trey,
can it be affordable? Lize Store, Lake Michigan Drive, joining
us for our fun. Every Tuesday we do this little
thing called Tech Tuesday, and boy, folks, it gives you
a chance to hear the latest in a field that
is constantly evolving.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Latest in tech and how it affects you and your world.
This is Tech Talk Tuesday on Wood Radios West Michigan Live.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Trent with the latest of for the Live store like
Mischkund Drive. It stand out Grand River Tech. It can
help you with your personal needs or with your business, organization, school, church,
larger needs as well. Always a pleasure, Trent, thank you
for being here with us today. And this is going
to be an interesting conversation because top of our conversation
is something that we're all thinking about. I know I
(19:39):
have my girls even at four and two, and Trent
has a whole it's like a whole army of kids.
In fact, yeah, how many do you have?
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Now? Is it? Five? Six? Seven? What is it?
Speaker 8 (19:55):
We have a couple justin it's hard to keep track.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yes, even he doesn't, he lost track. But I love
that because single handedly working to make sure that the
that the population is growing on a daily basis, I
think we've got it. We got some catching up to do.
But my point is when you're thinking about these things
and you're talking about them, especially as the kids get older,
(20:21):
you're having conversations about what they might want to do.
And I know, you know, at one point in my
life I thought about some of these professions. But there's
an ex Google exec out there saying, now, hey, look,
if your kids are thinking about these two fields, you
may want to have a conversation with them. There is
a reason, not that these fields aren't going to be important.
(20:41):
They're always going to be important, but he says, with
the rise of AI and how much time it takes
for the kids to go through, you know, you may
want to rethink it.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Law and medicine walk us through this.
Speaker 9 (20:57):
Why yeah, justin I mean, these aretes, especially law and medicine.
A very large part of the traditional training for law
and medicine is massive amounts of memorization. Memorization in the
medical field of medications, interactions with medications, how people's body works,
treatments and diseases and sicknesses, and it's.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
Just a massive amount of knowledge.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
It needs to be retained so that when somebody walks
in your door and is showing a handful of symptoms,
the doctor can look at that and think about it
and say, you know what, I think you have this
or I think you have that.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
And this is the treatment for it.
Speaker 9 (21:33):
Traditionally, doctors didn't have any digital databases Google or web
md or whatever to look up stuff. They would rely
on their professional knowledge of medicine. And medicine is advancing
with technology. There's new treatments, new medications, interactions with those medications.
There is so much increase in knowledge in the medical
(21:55):
field that what they learn and memorize and aid or
ten years is going to be obsolete or very out
of date.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
So obviously they're.
Speaker 9 (22:04):
Using these different online systems CHAT, BGT, open AAI to reference.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
To use for that medical knowledge.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
And what this gentleman's who sees the future of AI
is seeing that in the future, AI will simply take
over a percentage of the doctor's job, the percentage you
think of. You walk into your doctor's office, you give
them your symptoms. He says, hey, I think it's this
majority of that process the AI can do better than
(22:32):
a doctor.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
And the AI is not even really well designed yet.
Speaker 9 (22:35):
It doesn't have full access to all your medical history,
and it's developing rapidly. So in a couple of years,
when AI has more access to your medical history, maybe
access to your smartphone or smart watch to look at
your live current medical data, it's going to be far
better than a doctor on analyzing your needs. So that
reduces the amount of doctors. Nobody's saying we're not going
(22:56):
to need doctors, but it significantly reduces the amount of
doctors needed in the force, and the doctors who are
there are going to be doing really high level work.
They're going to be looking at fifty patients AI results.
It can be done anywhere in the world. A lot
of it would be remote and they're saying, hey, I
don't like the diagnosis on this. When this looks like
an anomaly, I think it might have gotten it wrong.
(23:18):
So there'll definitely be high end jobs, but your average
doctor office visit scenario, a large percentage of that will
be eliminated by in home AI computer based diagnosis, which
is incredible because it can get more people really high
quality live diagnosis for things that doctors can miss. But
it's also sad because it's going to lose that good
(23:40):
old fashion go to your doctor and have a personal talk.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yeah, I'm gonna play the other side here. I'm not
ready for the machines to take over, and I think
we're all ways out. I do think AI is going
to play a big role, But I think the other
thing in this trent is there or not people are
going to be ready for this, and there's a there's
a large portions. I mean, lots of us don't like
(24:07):
going in and we have to. We have see a
PA instead of the doctor. And luckily that's that's not
the case where I go. But you know, there's not nothing,
there's anything wrong with that. But people just have their
their preferences. And you know, a lot of people as
it is now, they don't like how they only see
the doctor for a few minutes and you're kind of
like on a sort of an assembly line. So I think, uh,
(24:30):
there's a bit of this that's going to have to
be you know, I think the younger generations will easily
adapt to this much quicker than we we will some
of us older folks. I'm counting myself in there. But
the other thing I got to tell you, Trent, is
I use AI. I use it every day and it lies.
And so we are so far. This Google guy I
(24:50):
think he is. I think he is really bullish on this,
which is great. I do see the possibilities, but we.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
We are light years.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I think we are light years away from being able
to trust. I saw a guy just this week talking
about this. He goes, you know, and he is a PA.
He was saying, you know, I was I was looking
to do some research on something and a news supplement
that may help with this, that and the other thing.
And he went and he he asked the chat GPT
about it and whether or not it could do this,
(25:22):
that and the other help him with the dosing. And
he started going into what about the what do you
what about? The show me the studies that pack this up,
and chat GPT showed him. He was looking for, you know,
how many people are in the studies, et cetera. It
showed him they were looking like thirty people. And he goes,
it's not a study, that's just that's not it. He
(25:43):
could you could have like a thousand people or more.
The bigger the numbers, the better you're gonna get when
you get to what are the issues, what are the
side effects?
Speaker 3 (25:51):
What do I got to look for?
Speaker 2 (25:52):
So number one gotta remember if you if you're doing
this now too, especially if you're looking for medical advice
from the AI. It's just it's like Google. Do you
always trust everything that you see on the Internet or Google?
Speaker 7 (26:04):
No?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Probably not, And I would recommend the same when it
comes to the AI. Always go back. You find something,
go back and do some due diligence, look further into it.
Don't just take its word for it, because what AI
is doing just so you know, it's pulling from all
of the answers on the internet. It doesn't magically know things.
And then the worst part of this, he said, is
(26:25):
when he got into how much of the thing he
should be taking the supplement.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
It it messed.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
The dosing up by the decimal of the thing of
how much he was supposed to be taking was off
one And he said, do you realize when you're talking
about dosing in medicine this could be catastrophic. So at
the end of the day, I wouldn't say that your
kids have to not think of it, Like, if your
kid's really drawn to something, well they're called to do that.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Then there's nothing that's going to stop that.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
But it is an interesting thought about where we're going
to be in the future and what fields we should
be looking at maybe taking a closer look to.
Speaker 9 (27:08):
Yeah, Justin's I agree with you very much that the
personal side of needing a doctor, needing a human being
to review medical things and to have that personal touches
there to your point about when are we ready to
use it as people as consumers, when do we trust it?
Speaker 8 (27:24):
If you would say ten.
Speaker 9 (27:26):
Years ago, would you use AI to monitor your home camera? System,
or would you be okay with a in home delivery
service that actually you give your door code out to
a service that delivers right and everybody up front it's like, no,
I'd never do this, I'd never do this. But as
they make it convenient and as it works in real life,
(27:48):
people will trust that in a second after the fact,
after they see that, and even if they shouldn't trust
it justin like the whole door code thing, the same
people that said I'd never give somebody my door code
because it's on a weekend and they need some groceries
and they're not home at the time and the store
is closed after they plan to be home, they'll fork
that door code over and all of a sudden that
(28:09):
I care about this never doing this is gone.
Speaker 8 (28:13):
It's out the window.
Speaker 9 (28:13):
So really, the future implementation of it, as much as
we don't like it or we don't like that, it
really hinges on the tech side of people making this
work or convenient to overcome people's fear and ready, I
would say eighty percent of the people that go to
their doctor have already googled what's going on and already
have a feeling about the symptoms or the treatment. Or
(28:36):
whatever before they even talk to their doctor. So we're
using this AI stuff more than we'll admit or confess
at this point already.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
It really is interesting. And again I think it's not
just medicine or law, but there are a lot of
different fields that I think we're going to have to see.
We're going to see the disruption taking place, all right,
lightning round because we don't have a lot of time
left here. Let me just see, speaking of wind, are
you ready for your brain implant? The chat GPT people,
(29:05):
that's Sam Altman, right, and Open AI. They're looking at
brain implants too. It's not just Elon Musk that wants
to make this happen.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
And I don't know if I'm as likely to.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Get a AI doctor as I am the chip implant.
Let's see. Oh here's a good one. Because they're not
gonna have a lot of time spend on some of
this stuff. World's largest video platform now asking for ID
in order to watch videos, and part of this is
going to be triggered by AI. But they're trying to
(29:44):
in other words, they say to protect kids, which I
think we're all for, but how much of that is
going to come at the expense of your privacy at
the end of the day, what is that going to
look like, Trent?
Speaker 8 (30:00):
Yeah, justin you nailed it.
Speaker 9 (30:01):
So they're saying this is just because of you know,
restricting illicitor or inappropriate content content from young people.
Speaker 8 (30:09):
In reality, with technology, so much has been blocked.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
If you're an Apple iPhone user, they have a built
in VPN that blocks tons of information about your persona
that makes it much harder for people like.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
You to say who you are, where you are, to
profile you. So this is their way.
Speaker 9 (30:24):
If they require an ID, they have guaranteed tracking on
every user of what they're doing, where they're going in
a in its most easiest form. So I don't it's
hard to believe that this is just truly just for
age appropriate content. I think this is just their key
to have the perfect profiling on every user, and that's
(30:46):
their and that's their goal in this.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Yeah, if there's a lot in this conversation, we'll continue
to walk through. I listened to the stories we didn't
get a chance to get to today. I'll make sure
that I put them in the stack either way, so
you can read about them.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Everything we talk about on.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
The show goes and it stack and lots of stuff
we don't get time for to at Justin Barklay dot com.
But here's what we got today. Didn't get into the
full discussion on the neurlink and the AI brain chips.
We also didn't get into the discussion about Robot fight Club.
But that's okay because the first role is you really
don't talk about robot fight Club. We also talk about
(31:20):
viral bear trampoline video that's not real, it looks real.
It may be one of the first that I think
first time if people watched a video like an AI video,
they didn't realize it was an AI video trend. Always
a pleasure it is. It's really interesting stuff. Maybe we'll
get to some of that next week. Thank you, my friend.
(31:41):
We appreciate you.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
Thanks Justin. Have a great day.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah, it's Grand River Drive Lake, Michigan Drive rather and
Grand River Tech Affordable Eye Store, and we'll put all
the links online affordableiyestore dot com, Grandrivertech dot com as well.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Back after this, don't go anywhere.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
Here are your headlines from the Midwesterner this Tuesday, August nineteenth.
I'm Robin Poffman. It's a Midwesterner dot News original story.
It's a list we actually do not want to be on.
New FBI data find Saginaw ranked the third most violent
city in the country, with Detroit coming in seventh place.
The rankings are based on over fourteen million crimes documented
(32:26):
last year through the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program. A
new study from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation shows folks who
live here in Michigan we'll see about a three thousand
dollars tax cut as a result of President Trump's Big
Beautiful Bill. Major job growth also predicted, and President Trump
meets with Ukrainian President Zelinsky and European leaders at the
(32:47):
White House. This event after Friday summit in Alaska between
Trump and Russian President Putin.
Speaker 7 (32:52):
Who we're all working for the same goal, very simple goal.
We want to stop the killing.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
For these stories and more, visit the Midwesterner at the Midwest.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Calm here stand by.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
I just I could. I had to share this with
folks in the behind the scenes leshroom.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
I'll put on the stack today too.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
But Tim runs his mouth over on X got a
picture of Zelensky showing up the White House yesterday in
the borrowed I guess it was a borrowed jacket, and
he says, is me trying on my first suit at
J C.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Pennies when I was ten years old.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
And it is Zelensky who does have some sort of
jacket on, but it's there's no tie and the black
shirt is like buttoned all the way to the top.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
It is oh man, it really isn't interest.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
But at least he at least he got out of
his Jammi's yesterday. President Trump even gave him. There was
some credit. I think, uh when he you know, when he.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
When he saw him for the first time, he got
out of it.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Coo.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
By the way, I was just there.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
And in fact, unfortunately can't go but it was invited
to go back here shortly. But maybe we'll go again
another time. Just can't make it this time. But here
he is. This is right next to the Eisenhower but
you right where they pull up and welcome folks there.
(34:21):
This is really cool, there's Trump. Zelenski gets out. Now
Trump looks at his suit.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
He goes, it was really the best I had. And
I just saying it. He's like pointing out. I mean,
he says, look it is.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Christ talking up the suit, which I don't know, Like
I said, I don't know how much of a suit
the guy really had, but it it it's much more
respectful than in what he wore last time, I can
tell you that much. We've got good news more of
it coming up in the in in the after show
(35:00):
A show after the show, want to walk into what
actually got discussed in the hearing there with the Epstein documents.
Here's the headline Former Attorney General Bill Barr was. He
was he was interviewed by Comer and some of the
other folks behind the scenes closed door. They're talking specifically,
(35:20):
they were talking about whether or not well Jeffrey Epstein
killed himself, et cetera, what happened while he was in
that prison.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
And I think that was really the subject of it.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
But what we're hearing now Bar testifying he doesn't see
and did not see any information that would implicate Trump
in the Epstein case, like Democrats are trying to push
right now. Bar goes on to say that that Democrats
basically are making this a big it's a big media
nothing Democrats are pushing with Trump. It's an interesting headline
(35:54):
because again it's one that you you're just you're just
not going to get anywhere else we got. In fact,
during the after show, we'll dive into it all. Why
do we start the after show because it's just never
enough time with the fastest town radio that flies by, folks.
We we love being here with you each and every day.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Again.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
All the stories that you may have mistered, maybe you
heard us talking about one you'd like to hear more about,
we put in the stack at justin Barclay dot com.
You can see it there. Glenn Beck program is coming
up next. First, we'll get the top.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Is now's the.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Time to start gearing up? Jhim linding dot com. Yeah,
the story is the better most he showed up this time.
Where bring a suit to boot Now? I didn't see
a tie. I don't know about you. It was hard
to really gauge because it was there. He's wearing this
(02:10):
all black get up, which was kind of interesting. But
Zelensky yesterday a less conversation about what he wore, more
conversation about the conversation what actually took place, and the.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Well, some of the concessions that may be made et cetera.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
The next step getting them all together, as Zelensky and
leadership there at the European Union meeting with Trump in
the White House yesterday, putin even on the phone at
some point his response and reaction to all of it.
We're going to talk about the next steps and where
it all goes from here. Coming up number two in Michigan,
(02:50):
the New Tax Foundation analysis says President Trump's One Big
Beautiful Bill has delivered an average of three thousand dollars
in tax cut savings from Michigan statewide relieve shown in
its state and county map projects meaningful job gains, nationals investment,
exposing are expensing rather kicks in. We've got some of
(03:13):
these latest details. It's not all sunshine, rainbows and.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Puppy kisses in Michigan. Unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
New stats out of Governor Gretchen Whitmer's Michigan and Mayor
of Detroit Mike Duggan, who would like.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
To be governor his city of Detroit.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
FBI now saying, according to the data, Saginaw ranked third
most violent city in the United States. Sag nasty, Detroit
comeing Aga in seventh. Now, these people tell you, particularly
the mayor of Detroit. Mike Dougan thinks he's doing a
(03:55):
fantastic job banging up. In fact, there are a few
folks that feel like he ought to be running the state. Well,
if you want the state to run like the city
of Detroit, I guess that's up to you.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
But it is well it ought to be mentioned at
least anyway. These stories that you just won't hear anywhere else.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Are Big three Today More coming up a tech talk segment,
Good Friend Trent, Can it be affordable? Lize Store, Lake, Michigan,
Drive in Standale on the way. First chance to hear
from you.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Call Justin now at six one six seven seven four
twenty four to twenty four at six one six seven
seven four twenty four to twenty four, West Michigan Live
with Justin Barclay on News Radio Wood thirteen hundred and
one oh six nine a f m.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Speaking of crime statistics, Is it a coincidence? We'll talk
about this a little bit later on Good News DC.
Crime stats are falling off a cliff?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Is that is that a Is it a cool? Incidents?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Trump's staying old Zelensky yesterday? I thought it was really interesting,
you know, he kind of he really talked him up.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
When he came.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Of course he did sort of the first time tongue
in cheek, but this time I think he was glad
to see him in US. Now, I don't know about
the suit choice. Will you talk about Zelenski in the
suit and whatnot? Uh, it did look like it came
from J. C. Penney's. I don't know. I don't know,
maybe Ben's warehouse or what not. But there's breaking news
(05:32):
this morning on this story and President Trump speaking with
Fox News earlier today about the manager.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
I want to end it. You know, we're not losing
American lives. We're not losing American soldiers. We're losing Russian
and Ukrainian mostly soldiers. Some people as missiles hit wrong
spots or get lobbed into cities like Kievan towns. But
you know what, if I can save seven thousand people
a week from being killed, I think that's a pretty
(06:00):
to try and get to heaven if possible. I'm hearing
I'm not doing well. I really at the bottom of
the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven,
this will be one of the reasons. Well, I think
I saved a lot of lives with India. Pakist said
they were going at it. There was the planes were
being shot down. That was going to be maybe a
nuclear war if I let that go, and I did
that through trade, I was, I just want to end it.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I want to you know what's interesting to hear by
the way. He talked with the folks on Fox News,
Fox and Friends this morning and a couple of interesting
things came out. We have more clips from that conversation
this morning.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I think that I'd like to get to heaven. He says.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Here he is said one of the things at the
table was one of the gentlemen who's a great guy.
But he said, I hope I didn't insult him. He said, well,
let's meet in another month or two and let's see
if we can start, you know, making some money. He said,
a month or two, you can have another forty thou
people dead. In you have to do it tonight, and
(07:02):
I did. Actually, I called President Putin and we're trying
to work out a meeting with President Zelensky. We'll see
what happens there and then if that works out. If
it works out, then I'll go to the trilab and
close it up.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
They want to get everybody together. That's that's the story.
They want to get everybody together in the same room
for this. Putin, Zelensky and Trump. One of the most
interesting images yesterday. We're showing it on the screen right
now behind the scenes livestream which you can watch justin
Marklay dot com Facebook to a retro will get her
(07:36):
locals YouTube. But one of the most interesting is the
pictures there the EU leadership, Zelenski as well in the
Oval office and they're all sitting around Trump and his
desk at some point, which which is really there's some
(07:57):
iconic stuff coming out of this, which I think will
be something to keep an eye on. We're gonna, we're
gonna we're gonna watch some of this. We're gonna watch
some of this, keep a close look on it.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
What happened on that phone call between Putin it because
there was a moment yesterday where they're all meeting together
and Trump sort of says, hang on, let me get
let me get Putin on the phone. Secretary of State
Marco Rubio talking about that.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Were you in the room when the President talked to
Vladimir Putin? I was, I was, and I'm in that
conversation you know what came from it is that, you know,
the President suggested that Zelensky and Putin meet. So we're
working on that now to try to set that up
for them to meet somewhere, which again would be unprecedented,
and then if that goes well, hopefully the next meeting
(08:51):
will be a meeting between Presidents Putin, Trump and Zelensky
where we hope to Findaliza deal. We're not there yet,
but that's what we're aiming towards, and that's one of
the things that was discussed today is how to get
to that point. But just the fact that Putin is saying, sure,
I'll meet with Zelenski, that's a big deal. I mean,
I'm not saying they're going to leave that room best friends.
I'm not saying they're going to leave that room with
a peace deal. But I think the fact that people
(09:12):
are now talking to each other. This wasn't happening for
three and a half years. This was a stalemated war
of death and destruction. And let me tell you something,
this president hates war and he hates it. He thinks
it's a waste of money and a waste of lives,
and he has made it a priority. President Trump has
to bring about peace. If he sees an opportunity to
step in and broker a piece, he wants to do it.
(09:33):
He's been successful already six times in six months and
achieving that, and he wants to achieve it with Ukraine
and Russia's well.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Some of the things I'm seeing online coming from folks
on the left is just absolutely delusional. And again I
go back to this to keep saying, well, why do
you hate peace so much? I mean, it's not that
they hate peace, they hate Trump, but they also hate
Putin equally. And I'm not saying Putin's a guy that
anyone ought to, you know, like aspire to be or
anything like that. At the same time, I don't think
(10:01):
Zelensky's clean either. There's lots of well I think this
is documented too, but there's lots of corruption on the
Ukraine side. But between all of this, stuck right in
the middle are innocent people who, again Trump just mentioned
(10:21):
on Fox News this morning, are losing their lives. There
are innocent people who are caught up in all of
this who are losing their lives, and it's time to
end the bloodshed. It's time to end all of the fighting,
and it is time to get things back on track
for peace again. The next step getting them all together.
(10:43):
Peace talks went well from what everything we can hear now.
I think there are some left wing outlets, There are
some there's immediate types. There are some left wing folks
that say it didn't. But they said the same thing
about Alaska. I don't really know what they're going to
do when the peace breaks out. It's gonna be a
(11:05):
you're gonna have to check on these people because I
don't know what they're going to be able to go to.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Next.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Well, they're still trying to push the Epstein uh, and
that's an important subject. But again, which one is more
important trying to find get peace taken care of here
or or or or digging up and getting into the
story which they're now trying to make about Trump, which.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
You know, actually have an update on that too coming up.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Let me let me get cause there's some interesting meetings
happening hearing yesterday on Capitol that will get into that
coming up. So again they'll move to meet face to
face Trump, Zolensky and Putin will get it all.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
And of course the latest for you coming up and.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
A Taktok segment with our good friend Trink can maybe
affordableized store week.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Michigan Drive and stand out the latest.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Well, they say, if you got's going in that you
used to push like parents used to push for this
sort of high level education at least in a couple
of these films, Law Medicine. There's a few more. But
what are what are they saying now? And who says, hey,
you know, you may not may want to take a
look at something else. We'll give you the advice straight
from Google and those executives who are in the now on.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Dot News Big breaking news.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
The crime rate in VC stats looks like they're falling
off a cliff. I'm sure that's just a coincidence given
everything that's going on this morning. Okay, Tech Tuesday, A
segment is in full effect. Coming up a little bit
after the bottle of the ur news, we'll have the
(13:56):
latest nine thirty.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
What should your kids be doing?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
We'll take you a couple of the fields they usually
be really really prestigious. Google execs are saying, probably not
a good way, especially with how much time you have
to spend studying in these with AI and everything else
and probably not good fields for you to go into.
We'll talk about that coming up, but first I want
to think the folks at the Good feed Store. Holy Molly,
(14:20):
every single day is like a new day. Walking on sunshine,
walking up the clouds. It feels amazing. And I gotta
tell you, your back, your legs, whatever you're going through,
you got pain.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Maybe it's just your feet.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Like me, for years, I struggled until I walked into
the Good feed Store.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
It's time. You've put it off.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
You probably put yourself last all summer long too, and
look at everything you missed out on that was summer's
coming to a close. In some ways, it still time.
We got plenty of good weather left, and you got
plenty of great time left to feel great every single day.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Do the things that you've always wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Take walks this fall in the crisp autumn air, sipping
on sider watching the leaves turn, get out and experience
all of the fun and the everyday life things that
you just have been putting off, not able to do
for far too long. I know because I was there too.
Don't put yourself last anymore. Take that first step to freedom,
(15:26):
The first step the living pain free.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
In fact, with the Good Feet Store.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I walked in and I got to tell you that
perfect fit the personalized art supports. They'll help you. It's possible.
They can help you like they help me. It's a
game changer. My pain has gone. It feel better and
I could do the things I always wanted to do.
So go today, have a Good Feed Store on twenty
eighth Street right in front of costco Or and Portage
on Westage in front of Cole's. Come in and experience
a good feet feeling for yourself at the Good Feet Store. Okay,
(15:55):
now we have new data crime. This is the DC
Police Union, by by the way, putting this information out.
Save your wondering.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Well, give me a fact check on this. Where's this? Companies?
Give me? Sorry?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
You always notice that if you post something that's common sense,
obvious and positive, you always have folks jumping in online
such stars SoRs. Sorry, you don't have access to this
thing called the Google's two DC crime Now, since the
announcement of a federal control, President Trump taking charge here
(16:28):
versus the seven days prior, robberies down forty six percent.
Ad W don't know what an ADW is? Hey, Adam,
can you look up what ADW is and crime crime stats?
ADW down six percent in DC. Whatever ADW is carjackings
(16:49):
knowing that is eighty three percent down eighty three percent
robberies and carjackings, massive car theft down. It's all with
a deadly weapon. WHOA wow, Yeah that didn't sound fun.
Car jacking down eighty three car theft down twenty one percent,
(17:09):
violent crimes down twenty two percent, property crimes six percent,
all crimes down eight percent. Well, federal assistance gives us
a boost. The DC Police Union says on a message
on X we must repeal the miss Guided Comprehensive Policing
and Justice Reform Act in order to make these changes permanent.
(17:32):
But that's big news, and I guarantee a story you're
not going to hear anywhere else.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
More of those. In fact, we're talking tech coming up next.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
That field or field is that you may not want
to push your kids to go. And these were formerly
like really prestigious. I still think they might be. But
they said, if the kids are going into school now,
all the studying and all the work they have to
do to get into them with AI, maybe not be
a great idea, right, now back after this West Michigan Line.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Wherever you are, stream us on your smart folks, West
Michigan Live with Justin Barklay on News Radio Wood thirteen
hundred and one oh six nine.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Back after it, folks, and yes, another big day in
lots of news.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
We'll cover it all.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
In fact, the latest after this segment what we heard
yesterday in behind the scenes backroom testimony about Epstein. I
just I haven't seen any of these major mainstream news
folks covering it yet. And when you hear the headline,
you'll probably you'll probably understand why we're going to break
(18:46):
that all down. Plus the after show Fastest Down Radio
is flying by. We appreciate you being here with us today, Trey,
can it be affordable? Lize Store, Lake Michigan Drive, joining
us for our fun. Every Tuesday we do this little
thing called Tech Tuesday, and boy, folks, it gives you
a chance to hear the latest in a field that
is constantly evolving.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Latest in tech and how it affects you and your world.
This is Tech Talk Tuesday on Wood Radios West Michigan Live.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Trent with the latest of for the Live store like
Mischkund Drive. It stand out Grand River Tech. It can
help you with your personal needs or with your business, organization, school, church,
larger needs as well. Always a pleasure, Trent, thank you
for being here with us today. And this is going
to be an interesting conversation because top of our conversation
is something that we're all thinking about. I know I
(19:39):
have my girls even at four and two, and Trent
has a whole it's like a whole army of kids.
In fact, yeah, how many do you have?
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Now? Is it? Five? Six? Seven? What is it?
Speaker 8 (19:55):
We have a couple justin it's hard to keep track.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yes, even he doesn't, he lost track. But I love
that because single handedly working to make sure that the
that the population is growing on a daily basis, I
think we've got it. We got some catching up to do.
But my point is when you're thinking about these things
and you're talking about them, especially as the kids get older,
(20:21):
you're having conversations about what they might want to do.
And I know, you know, at one point in my
life I thought about some of these professions. But there's
an ex Google exec out there saying, now, hey, look,
if your kids are thinking about these two fields, you
may want to have a conversation with them. There is
a reason, not that these fields aren't going to be important.
(20:41):
They're always going to be important, but he says, with
the rise of AI and how much time it takes
for the kids to go through, you know, you may
want to rethink it.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Law and medicine walk us through this.
Speaker 9 (20:57):
Why yeah, justin I mean, these aretes, especially law and medicine.
A very large part of the traditional training for law
and medicine is massive amounts of memorization. Memorization in the
medical field of medications, interactions with medications, how people's body works,
treatments and diseases and sicknesses, and it's.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
Just a massive amount of knowledge.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
It needs to be retained so that when somebody walks
in your door and is showing a handful of symptoms,
the doctor can look at that and think about it
and say, you know what, I think you have this
or I think you have that.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
And this is the treatment for it.
Speaker 9 (21:33):
Traditionally, doctors didn't have any digital databases Google or web
md or whatever to look up stuff. They would rely
on their professional knowledge of medicine. And medicine is advancing
with technology. There's new treatments, new medications, interactions with those medications.
There is so much increase in knowledge in the medical
(21:55):
field that what they learn and memorize and aid or
ten years is going to be obsolete or very out
of date.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
So obviously they're.
Speaker 9 (22:04):
Using these different online systems CHAT, BGT, open AAI to reference.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
To use for that medical knowledge.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
And what this gentleman's who sees the future of AI
is seeing that in the future, AI will simply take
over a percentage of the doctor's job, the percentage you
think of. You walk into your doctor's office, you give
them your symptoms. He says, hey, I think it's this
majority of that process the AI can do better than
(22:32):
a doctor.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
And the AI is not even really well designed yet.
Speaker 9 (22:35):
It doesn't have full access to all your medical history,
and it's developing rapidly. So in a couple of years,
when AI has more access to your medical history, maybe
access to your smartphone or smart watch to look at
your live current medical data, it's going to be far
better than a doctor on analyzing your needs. So that
reduces the amount of doctors. Nobody's saying we're not going
(22:56):
to need doctors, but it significantly reduces the amount of
doctors needed in the force, and the doctors who are
there are going to be doing really high level work.
They're going to be looking at fifty patients AI results.
It can be done anywhere in the world. A lot
of it would be remote and they're saying, hey, I
don't like the diagnosis on this. When this looks like
an anomaly, I think it might have gotten it wrong.
(23:18):
So there'll definitely be high end jobs, but your average
doctor office visit scenario, a large percentage of that will
be eliminated by in home AI computer based diagnosis, which
is incredible because it can get more people really high
quality live diagnosis for things that doctors can miss. But
it's also sad because it's going to lose that good
(23:40):
old fashion go to your doctor and have a personal talk.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yeah, I'm gonna play the other side here. I'm not
ready for the machines to take over, and I think
we're all ways out. I do think AI is going
to play a big role, But I think the other
thing in this trent is there or not people are
going to be ready for this, and there's a there's
a large portions. I mean, lots of us don't like
(24:07):
going in and we have to. We have see a
PA instead of the doctor. And luckily that's that's not
the case where I go. But you know, there's not nothing,
there's anything wrong with that. But people just have their
their preferences. And you know, a lot of people as
it is now, they don't like how they only see
the doctor for a few minutes and you're kind of
like on a sort of an assembly line. So I think, uh,
(24:30):
there's a bit of this that's going to have to
be you know, I think the younger generations will easily
adapt to this much quicker than we we will some
of us older folks. I'm counting myself in there. But
the other thing I got to tell you, Trent, is
I use AI. I use it every day and it lies.
And so we are so far. This Google guy I
(24:50):
think he is. I think he is really bullish on this,
which is great. I do see the possibilities, but we.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
We are light years.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I think we are light years away from being able
to trust. I saw a guy just this week talking
about this. He goes, you know, and he is a PA.
He was saying, you know, I was I was looking
to do some research on something and a news supplement
that may help with this, that and the other thing.
And he went and he he asked the chat GPT
about it and whether or not it could do this,
(25:22):
that and the other help him with the dosing. And
he started going into what about the what do you
what about? The show me the studies that pack this up,
and chat GPT showed him. He was looking for, you know,
how many people are in the studies, et cetera. It
showed him they were looking like thirty people. And he goes,
it's not a study, that's just that's not it. He
(25:43):
could you could have like a thousand people or more.
The bigger the numbers, the better you're gonna get when
you get to what are the issues, what are the
side effects?
Speaker 3 (25:51):
What do I got to look for?
Speaker 2 (25:52):
So number one gotta remember if you if you're doing
this now too, especially if you're looking for medical advice
from the AI. It's just it's like Google. Do you
always trust everything that you see on the Internet or Google?
Speaker 7 (26:04):
No?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Probably not, And I would recommend the same when it
comes to the AI. Always go back. You find something,
go back and do some due diligence, look further into it.
Don't just take its word for it, because what AI
is doing just so you know, it's pulling from all
of the answers on the internet. It doesn't magically know things.
And then the worst part of this, he said, is
(26:25):
when he got into how much of the thing he
should be taking the supplement.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
It it messed.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
The dosing up by the decimal of the thing of
how much he was supposed to be taking was off
one And he said, do you realize when you're talking
about dosing in medicine this could be catastrophic. So at
the end of the day, I wouldn't say that your
kids have to not think of it, Like, if your
kid's really drawn to something, well they're called to do that.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Then there's nothing that's going to stop that.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
But it is an interesting thought about where we're going
to be in the future and what fields we should
be looking at maybe taking a closer look to.
Speaker 9 (27:08):
Yeah, Justin's I agree with you very much that the
personal side of needing a doctor, needing a human being
to review medical things and to have that personal touches
there to your point about when are we ready to
use it as people as consumers, when do we trust it?
Speaker 8 (27:24):
If you would say ten.
Speaker 9 (27:26):
Years ago, would you use AI to monitor your home camera? System,
or would you be okay with a in home delivery
service that actually you give your door code out to
a service that delivers right and everybody up front it's like, no,
I'd never do this, I'd never do this. But as
they make it convenient and as it works in real life,
(27:48):
people will trust that in a second after the fact,
after they see that, and even if they shouldn't trust
it justin like the whole door code thing, the same
people that said I'd never give somebody my door code
because it's on a weekend and they need some groceries
and they're not home at the time and the store
is closed after they plan to be home, they'll fork
that door code over and all of a sudden that
(28:09):
I care about this never doing this is gone.
Speaker 8 (28:13):
It's out the window.
Speaker 9 (28:13):
So really, the future implementation of it, as much as
we don't like it or we don't like that, it
really hinges on the tech side of people making this
work or convenient to overcome people's fear and ready, I
would say eighty percent of the people that go to
their doctor have already googled what's going on and already
have a feeling about the symptoms or the treatment. Or
(28:36):
whatever before they even talk to their doctor. So we're
using this AI stuff more than we'll admit or confess
at this point already.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
It really is interesting. And again I think it's not
just medicine or law, but there are a lot of
different fields that I think we're going to have to see.
We're going to see the disruption taking place, all right,
lightning round because we don't have a lot of time
left here. Let me just see, speaking of wind, are
you ready for your brain implant? The chat GPT people,
(29:05):
that's Sam Altman, right, and Open AI. They're looking at
brain implants too. It's not just Elon Musk that wants
to make this happen.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
And I don't know if I'm as likely to.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Get a AI doctor as I am the chip implant.
Let's see. Oh here's a good one. Because they're not
gonna have a lot of time spend on some of
this stuff. World's largest video platform now asking for ID
in order to watch videos, and part of this is
going to be triggered by AI. But they're trying to
(29:44):
in other words, they say to protect kids, which I
think we're all for, but how much of that is
going to come at the expense of your privacy at
the end of the day, what is that going to
look like, Trent?
Speaker 8 (30:00):
Yeah, justin you nailed it.
Speaker 9 (30:01):
So they're saying this is just because of you know,
restricting illicitor or inappropriate content content from young people.
Speaker 8 (30:09):
In reality, with technology, so much has been blocked.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
If you're an Apple iPhone user, they have a built
in VPN that blocks tons of information about your persona
that makes it much harder for people like.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
You to say who you are, where you are, to
profile you. So this is their way.
Speaker 9 (30:24):
If they require an ID, they have guaranteed tracking on
every user of what they're doing, where they're going in
a in its most easiest form. So I don't it's
hard to believe that this is just truly just for
age appropriate content. I think this is just their key
to have the perfect profiling on every user, and that's
(30:46):
their and that's their goal in this.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Yeah, if there's a lot in this conversation, we'll continue
to walk through. I listened to the stories we didn't
get a chance to get to today. I'll make sure
that I put them in the stack either way, so
you can read about them.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Everything we talk about on.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
The show goes and it stack and lots of stuff
we don't get time for to at Justin Barklay dot com.
But here's what we got today. Didn't get into the
full discussion on the neurlink and the AI brain chips.
We also didn't get into the discussion about Robot fight Club.
But that's okay because the first role is you really
don't talk about robot fight Club. We also talk about
(31:20):
viral bear trampoline video that's not real, it looks real.
It may be one of the first that I think
first time if people watched a video like an AI video,
they didn't realize it was an AI video trend. Always
a pleasure it is. It's really interesting stuff. Maybe we'll
get to some of that next week. Thank you, my friend.
(31:41):
We appreciate you.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
Thanks Justin. Have a great day.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah, it's Grand River Drive Lake, Michigan Drive rather and
Grand River Tech Affordable Eye Store, and we'll put all
the links online affordableiyestore dot com, Grandrivertech dot com as well.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Back after this, don't go anywhere.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
Here are your headlines from the Midwesterner this Tuesday, August nineteenth.
I'm Robin Poffman. It's a Midwesterner dot News original story.
It's a list we actually do not want to be on.
New FBI data find Saginaw ranked the third most violent
city in the country, with Detroit coming in seventh place.
The rankings are based on over fourteen million crimes documented
(32:26):
last year through the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program. A
new study from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation shows folks who
live here in Michigan we'll see about a three thousand
dollars tax cut as a result of President Trump's Big
Beautiful Bill. Major job growth also predicted, and President Trump
meets with Ukrainian President Zelinsky and European leaders at the
(32:47):
White House. This event after Friday summit in Alaska between
Trump and Russian President Putin.
Speaker 7 (32:52):
Who we're all working for the same goal, very simple goal.
We want to stop the killing.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
For these stories and more, visit the Midwesterner at the Midwest.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Calm here stand by.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
I just I could. I had to share this with
folks in the behind the scenes leshroom.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
I'll put on the stack today too.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
But Tim runs his mouth over on X got a
picture of Zelensky showing up the White House yesterday in
the borrowed I guess it was a borrowed jacket, and
he says, is me trying on my first suit at
J C.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Pennies when I was ten years old.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
And it is Zelensky who does have some sort of
jacket on, but it's there's no tie and the black
shirt is like buttoned all the way to the top.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
It is oh man, it really isn't interest.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
But at least he at least he got out of
his Jammi's yesterday. President Trump even gave him. There was
some credit. I think, uh when he you know, when he.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
When he saw him for the first time, he got
out of it.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Coo.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
By the way, I was just there.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
And in fact, unfortunately can't go but it was invited
to go back here shortly. But maybe we'll go again
another time. Just can't make it this time. But here
he is. This is right next to the Eisenhower but
you right where they pull up and welcome folks there.
(34:21):
This is really cool, there's Trump. Zelenski gets out. Now
Trump looks at his suit.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
He goes, it was really the best I had. And
I just saying it. He's like pointing out. I mean,
he says, look it is.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Christ talking up the suit, which I don't know, Like
I said, I don't know how much of a suit
the guy really had, but it it it's much more
respectful than in what he wore last time, I can
tell you that much. We've got good news more of
it coming up in the in in the after show
(35:00):
A show after the show, want to walk into what
actually got discussed in the hearing there with the Epstein documents.
Here's the headline Former Attorney General Bill Barr was. He
was he was interviewed by Comer and some of the
other folks behind the scenes closed door. They're talking specifically,
(35:20):
they were talking about whether or not well Jeffrey Epstein
killed himself, et cetera, what happened while he was in
that prison.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
And I think that was really the subject of it.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
But what we're hearing now Bar testifying he doesn't see
and did not see any information that would implicate Trump
in the Epstein case, like Democrats are trying to push
right now. Bar goes on to say that that Democrats
basically are making this a big it's a big media
nothing Democrats are pushing with Trump. It's an interesting headline
(35:54):
because again it's one that you you're just you're just
not going to get anywhere else we got. In fact,
during the after show, we'll dive into it all. Why
do we start the after show because it's just never
enough time with the fastest town radio that flies by, folks.
We we love being here with you each and every day.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Again.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
All the stories that you may have mistered, maybe you
heard us talking about one you'd like to hear more about,
we put in the stack at justin Barclay dot com.
You can see it there. Glenn Beck program is coming
up next. First, we'll get the top.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Of the hour news.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
We'll be back with you here tomorrow Live nine oh six.
Make it a great one. God bless
