Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ready to strap any It's going to be a heck
of a riote.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's like drinking from a fire hose.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Never a dull moment. But yes, you'll hear the stories
you won't hear anywhere else, and we'll appreciate you being here.
What is born today? I'm justin Barclay.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, welcome into the after show, the show,
after the show, folks. Never enough time, never well, we
just never a dull moment either. We just have so much.
Somebody asked me yesterday, how's the radio business going to swell?
It's never a dull moment.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I mean, I guess it's good for the business, good
for things to talk about.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
But sometimes, like I said, feel like you're drinking from
a fire hose. So we'll do our best to cover
it all. Yeah, we'll do our best to make sure
that you hear it all in as much as we can,
at least today as we roll through some of these
big stories.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Like I said that we have yet to have a
chance to what to cover.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, I just mentioned Rashida to Leeb getting busted for
right and they have the road checks to Rashida Talib
this is this is wild, but from her own campaign
to herself for personal use. And again that's like twenty
thousand done. They only twenty thousand dollars. That's a that's
(01:25):
an emerging story. I'll just say that's being brought to
light right now. Hey, if you haven't done it yet,
make sure you share today. Help us get the word
about about what's going on. Of course, that really helps,
whether you're sharing this podcast, whether you're sharing what's happening
on the live stream. Boy, all of those things and
more really help us get the word out. And of
(01:48):
course make sure people are wet. You know what they've
they've they have shadowband us. The way Meta and Facebook work,
it's kind of it's kind of silly. Somebody somebody to
me about it last week and I said, you know,
it's funny because on one hand, they they've sort of
(02:08):
I don't know how to how to put this, but
they sort of encourage us. They they they want to
they want to monetize the channel. So if occasionally we'll
get a little check from face it's nothing to write
home about, trust me. And then the next month like
absolutely nothing. But in between, what they're doing is that
they they're they're they're like shadow banning everything.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
It's just it's it's it's wild to see. And again
it's just one of the reasons why we can't.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
We can't.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
We've got to. We can't put our eggs in one basket.
We got to kind of stretch and spread everything down.
And that's why we've given you options. Even the folks
I'm telling you, even the folks on Getter who some
of them prefer, prefer get Her to any other platform.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
We're all over.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yes, I mentioned you get Her folks again to Devis,
I told you I was gonna do my best to
make sure I'm mentioning the folks on on Getter, but
I will tell you it's a little quieter there. So
then sometimes I can't always say hey, good morning to
this person and that person because I don't see the
chat unless you say something like while I'm looking at it.
So if you're on Getter, say hey, and we'll say
(03:27):
good morning to you, as well as as I do
for the folks on Facebook and all the other folks.
Cindy said, by the way, speaking of Facebook, you know
I just got the live notification.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
It's a little.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Wait and that's probably the one that I had to
send out, So they're supposed to send one out when
we go live, and they don't always do that either,
So that's a that's a whole nother thing. But you
know what, we won't spend our whole morning, uh, you know,
complaining about fate. I just want you to realize that
(03:59):
that's why we appreciate your support. And so when you
do go to share, especially when it comes to shows, you.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Know, life show, anything, really it could.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Be memes, they actually help us quite a bit to
any any number of things that help people discover what
we're doing here and why it matters so much.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
It's another great way to do it. You know.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Last week I got a chance with our good friend
Pat Kolbeck to appear on Mike Lindell's.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Show on Lindell TV.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
They had they had Pat fillin in for for Mike,
and at the last minute Pat was like, hey, can
you come on? I want to talk to you about
some things that are happening in Michigan and beyond. Of
course I was thrilled happy to do that. We did,
and again it just underscores what Mike is doing and
has been doing.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
The fight.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
If anybody knows about being Shadow Band, if anybody knows
about any of it. It's it's it's Michae Lindell. I mean,
they come, they've been coming after him since the beginning
of time. It feels like, well, they've got a fan
tastic way to help support right now, they got a
maid in the USA sales save up to fifty percent

and obviously when you help support Mike, you also help
support this show too. So thank you for your your
We really do we appreciate. We appreciate you doing it
because it does. It does mean the world to us.
We appreciate each and every day. All right, We've got
(05:54):
Midwesterners on top of it. And I didn't get to
hear the full reports today, so I don't know if
they mentioned this or not, but you know that this
is the newest thing. You know, it was the battery plants.
Now it's the data centers they want to put in
the data. Some remember Whitmer.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Used to love the science in the data. She loves
the data so much she wants to put in data centers.
This is the new boondoggle, by the way.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Let these people come in and let them put their
own data centers in, Let them figure out their own
way to power them. You know, we're gonna get some
many of these data centers that you're not gonna be
able to afford your electric bill.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I'm not kidding you.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
If they don't make these people build their own power plants,
that they're here to suck up our power and suck
up our water. Thank you Derek from England, He says,
love you, Jabe. Appreciate that, brother saying that's that's really
cool across the pond. I appreciate that. I wonder if
they're having to deal with some of this as well.
I don't know what it looks like where they're building
(06:54):
some of these data centers in another place.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
If it's only Erica that they're dealing with it.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
But here you have Joscelyn Benson, the Secretary State in Michigan,
Democrat candidate for governor. She wants to be the governor here,
the next governor of the Great State of Michigan, and
her husband, Ryan Fredericks. Now, don't you think that's interesting
to know these people? Now, these people have the same
last name, their husband and their and and the wives
(07:19):
could grow Gretcha Weimer.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I don't think her husband's last name is Wimmer, is it?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Maybe it is? I don't remember none of them do
That's that's that's an interesting thing that may too. No,
I'm not that to tell you everything, but isn't that
I just think it's it's just wild to me. I
don't know why, but I just say it's kind of wild.
Ryan Fredericks, the husband of Michigan Very Secretary of State
Jocelyn Benson, the leading Democrat candidate famine president, in details
(07:46):
week on the data center his company is forcing on
Seleine Township. Frederick's vice president of the billionaire Stephen Ross's
related Companies, was at the Seline City Council on Monday
when he alleged the community is behind a plan to
convert five hundred and seventy five acres of prime farmland
(08:07):
in Saline Township, in the massive warehouses filled with computers.
We've gone and knocked every single door he set in
the township twice the doors I knocked for ten to
one in support. Now, what does this sound like? This
sounds exactly to me like what they said in Uh well,
you remember the whole fight in Goshen Green Charter Township
(08:28):
said that same thing.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
He did the same They all have these like stats.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
We've knocked all the doors, We've asked all the questions,
and the people are predominantly in favor. They want this
battery plant. And the boy there was no there was
no fighting it anyway, you can watch it. The whole
meeting is about forty five minutes long. It's a little
bit less, but I'll put the link up today for
(08:55):
folks to see this as well. But these data, I'm
just telling you that this is what's going to drive
up your cost. I was asked the other day, what
you know one of the biggest issues right now, you
know for people that listen to your show, and I said, well,
I think that number one is it's pretty similar. It's
(09:17):
very same as what it was, you know, during the election,
in the campaign, I think it's still cost a living.
And then President Trump says, by the way, just what
we've got some help, help is on the way for
that would in fact, I'll take gas prices.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I've noticed.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I was on the road this week's I could tell
you that I know the gas prices are down. In fact,
they're down here a little bit, I think.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
From what I saw here.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Then they were down where I was at in Indiana
as well. Now Indiana is a lot cheaper than it
is here. It's gonna be even more cheaper coming in January,
when our extra twenty cents gas text jumps up and
bites us in the butt. It'll it'll be interesting to watch.
(10:04):
It'll be interesting to watch. But I just you know,
I'm telling you that's just one of the things. It's
in the cost of the oil and whatnot. And gas
go down and that does help, but people also want
to see the cost of I would tell you energy
(10:25):
is going to be a part of this. This is
the thing that's coming. I said, Yeah, you got all
the kitchen table stuff, I said, But the next thing
that people don't realize, and it's a big thing. The
next thing is going to be energy. Actually, i'll, i'll, i'll,
I'll help you with that. Let me rephrase it. Energy
is a little bit further down the road. They'll start
(10:47):
you'll start to see this probably in the next couple
of months before that, and I would I would imagine
this is going to be as soon as people start
seeing what they're actually going to have to pay in
January for health insurance. That that because the Obamacare subsidies
are well, not just the regular subsidy, this is the
what do they call them, not advanced it was not
(11:15):
extended enhanced Obamacare enhanced subsidies.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
They're going away, remember that was a Biden thing.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
It's going away coming up here in January essentially, So
that's gonna hit people. There are gonna be some people
that see their insurance go up three four times the
cost that they're paying right now health insurance. There'd be
some people to go, I can't afford you this. I'm
(11:44):
just gonna have to drop it. That that's the next thing,
and the thing after that, and particularly here in Michigan,
we're going to see it there singing in Indiana, Ohio and
some other places as well, and that's energy. I mean,
if you have one hundred dollars electric bill right now
or even lower, you may you may have to pay
five hundred dollars a month because because of these AI
(12:12):
data centers and all the rest that they're trying to
put in right now, you may you may have to pay.
It's through the nose, that's that's wild. So those are
the things. Again, these are kitchen table affordability topics and conversation.
And from what I understand, the administration is working on it.
(12:34):
They are talking about what can be done, and uh,
doctor Oz. In fact, I saw a story was looking
at this way and some of the maybe extending the
subsidies until I have a chance to get because you.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Can't overhaul this thing like right out of the gate.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
You can't like right now just just say okay, we're
gonna we gotta real least a whole new system. Then
Congress has to vote on it, they have to do
all these things you talk about. There's got to be
debate and all those.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
And so in order for that to actually happen, and
in an elect think about in an election year, there's
no way Democrats canna let them do that. They're gonna
have to extend this somehow Otherwise it's it's gonna get wonky.
It's gonna get wonky. But I'm telling you, uh, these
(13:23):
costs of these things and these aren't These are not
Trump issues. He didn't cause the problem, but he is
working on trying to solve the problem. It'll be interesting
(13:46):
to see how it all sort of plays out. Oz
Trump administration weighing ACA subsidies extension. This is what the
article says. In the hell doctr MEMNAH has, the Administrative
Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services said Sunday, the Trump
registration holding discussions on extending subsidies offered under the Affordable
Care Act. There is just now, by the way, the
(14:07):
whole system's broke, and it was built to break. That's why,
that's why the Albamacre thing. It was built two break
the majority of fraud. Oz is referencing by the way
he says there are discussions around this. He said, the
old system it needs to get overhaul. We got to
(14:27):
extend this without paralyzing the old system. He said that
the old system and a lot of fraud.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
It doesn't surprise anybody.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Referencing concerns agents, brokers, web brokers, and third parties that
enrolled people in the ACA marketplace.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
According to Health Policy.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Research, the ACA subsidies, which require at the end of
the year were or expire rather were a source of
conflict during the forty three days. Well, that's that's what
the Democrats were trying to say, was the reason why
they were trying to shut everything down, because they wanted
this all negotiated. Trump said, this is the worst possible
time you could you could try to negotiate this. We're
(15:05):
not going to be backed into a corner. We need
to do this correctly. And he held strong so for
any critics out there, anybody that want to question what
he's up to me, and they did the right thing.
So the next question is how do they figure this
and what does come out and what's what's next now?
Trump and then they got to clip here.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I don't know. I've gotta check this. We'll see. I
don't know. This could or could maybe it doesn't have
anything to do with what we're hearing here.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Let me uh, negotiating with rolemakers, and I've had personal
talks with some Democrats.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I can't tell you who they are. I just don't
want to do that. It's not fair to them.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
About paying large amounts of dollars back to the people.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
You know, this is my idea. It came up during that.
You know, oftentimes in time, under times of stress.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Like the shutdown, you come up with great ideas that
you wouldn't have filled up before.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
The insurance companies are making a fortune.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Their sock is up over one thousand percent over a
short period of time.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
He's right, by the way.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I mean, I don't know if you know that the
only people making out on this, and that's what the
whole thing is built around, is really just making a
massive windfall for insurance companies.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
They want and they are. They're seeing massive profits, as
you just mentioned, for these insurance companies, and all while
the care gets worse, the plans get more expensive, and
the doctors make less. Make that one makes sense. The
insurance companies are raking in the dough and they know
(16:45):
there's nothing they have to do because guess what, all
of this is codified in law.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
They are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars and
they're not really putting it.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Back, certainly, not like they should.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
When I see this, and when I've seen this, over
the last pretty short period of time, I said, why
do we why don't we just pay this money directly
to the people of our country and let.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Them buy their own health insurance.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
You know, that's an interesting thought. I don't know how
to work. You know, I know completely how this whole
thing's gonna work, but it's an interesting thought. The money
goes to the people who doesn't go and then they
can buy whatever plan they want with it. Now, I
(17:35):
think it probably end up with a lot of people.
If you, if you there's no way to put a
stipulation on it, you know, if you, if you just
send people money, how do you make them buy the insurance?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I don't I don't know. This is a lot of
this is going to have to be kind of figured
out in the wash here.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
And you know, I made that statement, and I made
it a little bit cavalierly, but it sounded good. Everybody
is picked up, including Democrats, and we I am talking
to some Democrats right now about doing that.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
People love it. We're gonna take the money, well, if
it gets approved, we're gonna take the money.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
We're gonna pay it back to the people of our
country to go out and buy health insurance. Now they
can put it in a health account. We can do
it a lot of different ways. But they'd buy their
own health insurance. They can negotiate price, and it's gonna
be locked. So they can't go.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Out and buy a Cadillac. They can go out and
buy health insurance.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
There you go. So I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
That was an interesting I mean, it's an interesting piece.
And again this is not you know, they're not going
to answer this. This is not gonna be something they
have an answer to anytime soon. But it's one of
the biggest pieces they got to make sure they're going
to take care of these people and trying to get
things now work again. I don't know about you, but yeah,
I think the affordability, not just in this story but
(19:04):
on everything is so important. Now talk of the weekend
for us in some of these in some of these situations,
the cost of Thanksgiving. Now we know all these got
a meal forty people or for excuse me, forty dollars,
it feeds ten people.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
We know that. I think it was Walmart.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
It came out with the cheapest Thanksgiving Turkey in several
years Target.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Now Target is dropping prices ahead of the holidays, The
company announcing reduced costs on three thousand food, beverage and
essential items starting this month. Target is also bringing back
it's Thanksgiving meal at its lowest price.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Ever, they don't really make that much money on food,
so this is a way to get you to come
into the store to buy other things. It's a doorbuster
in some ways. That's why a lot of the grocery
struts to do it. But I will tell you it
is incredible to see that the prices of things they
do have the wiggle room.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
They can do.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
The deal gives custom is a complete dinner with all
your holiday favorites for less than five dollars per person.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Target is dropping it.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
That's not bad holiday favorites less than five dollars a person.
You know, Aldi had four. You could feed ten people
for forty dollars. That's four dollars a person. So that's
a good deal too. But you know, these are the
things that people care about more than anything else. It's
the stuff that hits them and right like right away,
(20:29):
most immediately, Hey is Carla.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
In the chat? Did I just see Carla in the check?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Carla Wagner here acts my tax property taxes by the way,
there's a big push and Carla at the front of
the line of this too, and so is another name
you might recognize. Rono Santis wants to get it done
down to Florida too.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
From the property tax situation, it's very important given how
that's pinched so many homeowners, particularly our senior citizens, who
have their homes paid off and they bought it thirty
years ago for a certain amount. Now they're being told
it's worth so much more and they have to poney
up more and more money. It's almost like they have
to pay rent to the government just to be able
to enjoy their property. And that's wrong and we need
(21:07):
to do something about it. From the property tax situation,
it's very important.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
I think you're going to see more and more people
and this is going to pick up because it is
such a it is such a massive I think it's
a big conversation people are starting to have, especially when
talking about affordability of homes as well. It's another piece
that's baked in there. It's in your home cost. If
you have a new you have mortgage, it's chances are
(21:33):
it's it's in your it's in your mortgage. You have
to you have to pay that every month as well. Now,
some people think it's you know, that's not a good
idea because hiding in there and people don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
But it does. It does. It drives the cost of
your home up as well.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
If you if you look at it that way, at
the end of the day, you think about people losing
their homes and for crazy things. Now, I don't have
a lot of time to get into this one. It's
back and forth sometimes. Some of these fights and feuds.
I wonder if they're staged. I won't get in to
(22:06):
like my conspiracy theory on this, but all the world's
a stage. There's some things that I've seen and just
people that I know and things that I've kind of noticed,
and oh, that's that's kind of odd. I just wonder
about some of this stuff. Now, Trump and Marjorie Taylor
Green and TG are fighting. Trump's got a new nickname
(22:28):
for her, by the way, danger.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Who's that Harvey Taylor Green? He said, Marjorie Trader Green.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
She he made the She made the reporter say her
name so he could throw the nickname out. Watch this now,
I don't I'm not laughing. I'm not laughing. I don't
think she's a trader. Uh, he might feel a little
bit traded.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
I don't. I guess again, if all this is real,
I don't know. This bickering, the back and forth. You know,
it's funny way it's sad to watch some of this.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
But at the end of the day, is it entertaining?
Are you not entertained? Maybe that's part of what I think.
He kind of likes some of that.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
And I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Again, some of this I'm just telling you, like, I
just this is a much This would be a much
deeper conversation I have to get to at another time.
But let's let's play this back so that you can
hear it and uh listen to what he's thinking.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Makes her say, who's that?
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Who's that Lodgerie Trader Grin?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
He goes, wait, wait, wait a minute, is this those
our lives and dead? Who's that? Who's that art?
Speaker 3 (23:39):
He said, Lodgerie Trader Grin.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
The reporter has to say the name again one more time.
This is it?
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Who's that art? He said Lodgerie Trader Grin.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I don't think it goes uh, I don't think. Yeah,
I just the way he operates it is I get
a chuckle out of it. I don't know if I
should be laughing at that or not.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Your life is in danger, I don't think. Frankly, I
don't think anybody cares about her. Okay, what about you?
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Her life?
Speaker 1 (24:13):
All right?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
See, here's what I'm saying. This is this is interesting,
and this is my point. Michigan Joe said Trump is
way off attacking MTG and Massy. I don't have time
to get into all of this, folks, but I think
there's other things happening. I understand what you're saying because
I like both these people. I like Massy, I like
Grand Paul, I like MTG. But I think there's things
(24:39):
going on behind it. And this is one might be
have to be like a fireside chat or something one day.
But I think there's there's stuff happening behind the scenes here,
and I can't necessarily put my finger on it other
than to tell you, I just think there's I just
(25:02):
think there's a lot a lot going on. There's a
lot going on, and my spiny senses are tingling. That's
just my discernment. I don't know anyway. Trump on talking
to reporters.
