Speaker 1 (00:00):
Live from Higher Top Monroe Center in downtown Grand Rapids.
We're talking about what matters most to you when West
Michigan joined the conversation. Now at six one six seven
seven four twenty four twenty four At six one six
seven seven four twenty four to twenty four, it's West
Michigan Live with Justin Barklay on Wood Radio Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Oh, welcome in, folks. Squat a day Hall spokes.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Big history making news made just in the last twenty
four hours. Try and part to it. I'll give you
the latest. The story is that you want here anywhere else? Yeah,
lay matter mouse, you'll be talking about around the water court,
the dinner table, no matter where you are, the President
of the Supreme Court, astronauts to the moon, and the
(00:48):
what else was going on yesterday? Oh yeah, that big
address overnight, all of it and more.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
We'll break it down. Plus are good for Pat Colbeck,
John use weather and traffic.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I won't his stories of the day. We are talking
about what matters most in West Michigan and beyond. This
is the Big three now see speak three.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah, the stories of Mandamus.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Should be talking about these round the watercooks, dinner table,
no matter where, you are powered by our good friends
at Heartland Home Mortgage, Damn count Away and the team.
Whether it's now or down the road, you're looking to
make a move, and that may be that you just
even want to you you just want to stay in
your home, but you think maybe it's time to check
those interest rates because you've seen some of them come down.
(01:36):
Now's the time reach out. At hhmlending dot com.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
They see this house. It's every time we've worked.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
With them, water home refinanced, at home equity line of credit.
And I can't I can't speak highly enough for those folks.
They tell you they're faster, they're better than the big banks.
They'll come to your home and take care of all
those things for you, walk you through it at HHM
lending dot com. Yep, I'll president y'all making history as
(02:02):
the first sitting US president to attend a Supreme Court
oral argument session yesterday and we heard some of those
first opening arguments even yesterday during the after show. There's
a little bit of I think, mixed reaction to where
(02:24):
this is going to land. The usual folks kind of
thinking that it's not going to go in Trump's favor.
I'm not necessarily said on that the questions that were asked.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Sometimes you get a really good.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Perspective of where things are going to going, and sometimes sometimes.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
You just can't know.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Although I wouldn't be surprised if the Supreme Court in
a conservative way, not in the sense of politics, but
just in more of the sense of we're not going
to do anything groundbreaking or shattering here doesn't necessarily give
him the relief he was looking for. And I don't
think that has anything to do with him going to
the court. Not all day yesterday we heard from liberals
(03:08):
and the media, but I repeat myself again, Oh, this
is unprecedent.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I can't believe he's doing it.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
It's almost like he's trying to threaten the court and
intimidate him. No, there's you know, there's actually a seat
for the president there at the Court.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
What little detail many have missed. We'll talk about that
coming un.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
President Trump addressing the nation last night from the White House.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
In a speech.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
That was really just an update. And I don't know
that we learned much of anything new.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Now.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I will say the stock markets are leave the way
things are reacting. Oil markets as well today seem like
they learned quite a bit new. It's it's just the
up and down sort of psychological knee jerk reaction that
the markets tend to do. Right now, we're looking at
futures down almost seven hundred points. And why is that.
(04:01):
It's because, essentially, he said, we got a couple more
weeks of trying to get through this. The other thing
that may have made an issue is he told Europe
and the rest of the folks that get their oil
for the Straight or her moves, they're on their own.
He said, you wouldn't help us when we asked you
to do it, so get your own oil. Well, that's interesting.
(04:24):
More on the ceasefire only considered once the Straight is
actually reopened for shipping. He says, we'll keep an eye
on the markets this morning, Oil and.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
The mid ones as well coming up.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
It was massive news again yesterday NASA's Artemis two mission launching.
They were go for lift off, a successful mission launching
from Kennedy's Space Center yesterday. I was wild to watch,
actually watch with my girls. And there's some people that said,
wait a minute, don't do that, what are you doing?
Don't watch live television that feed remember the Challenger, and
(05:04):
I do.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I was I was in kindergarten, I think when had happened.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Or maybe first maybe it was first grade. I was young,
and I don't remember. I do remember watching from the library.
We all got to go to the library to watch it.
Needless to say, that didn't happen yesterday, Thank god, history did,
and in a good way.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
In fact, that thing is.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Right now making its way on its ten day mission
up to the Moon and around and we'll continue to
give you updates as that all sort of pans out.
But in the meantime, how about this video from the
launch yesterday. It was just absolutely incredible to watch it.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Booster ignition and lift off the crew of Artemis two,
now bound for the Moon. Humanity's next great voyage begins.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Fantastic, God speed and God.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Blessing the flight of Integrity on the Artemis two mission
round them.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
That's incredible.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
My three year old, I didn't think she would get
it as much, but my three year old, she was
just glued eyes on the thing that the whole time
you could tell she was really kind of locked down
and kind of concerned in some ways.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
She wondered if it would be scary or not.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
And then later after we watched it and they got
ready for bad and things. She's just talked about how beautiful,
how pretty it was to watch it fly into the air.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I said, you want to be an astronaut when you
grow up. Hunt.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I don't know that that's her her direction, but if
it is good for her, she's got the footsteps, or
rather the big boots to follow in Christina Cook from
right here in Grand Rapids, Michigan, one of our own
on that flight, as we wished him well, I want
to talk about why this is so big, earth shattering
and the historic nature of it with our good friend
(07:24):
Patrick Colebeck, former Michigan State Center, former golbnatorial candidate, election
integrity warrior.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
We'll talk to him and the latest about the.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Save Act executive order that the President sign the other day.
Both could have some real, massive historic consequences. All that
and more coming up a little bit after Red nine
thirty this morning, right here on West Michigan Live.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
In the meantime, join it.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Call Justin now at six one six seven seven for
twenty four to twenty four. That's six one six seven
seven for twenty four to twenty four, West Michigan Live
with Justin Barklay on news radio Wood thirteen hundred and
one oh six nine f M.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
That's a great question, Chason in the chat, I don't
know if you ever want to chat with his Facebook Twitter. Actually,
we'll get our locals YouTube. That's where we launch our
live stream. He said, who plans a moon launch on
April Fool's Day? Knowing many Americans doubt moon landings. What
a great question for Patrick Colbeck. How do they plan
these things? Why was it? And again it was a
(08:28):
full moon yesterday at the beginning of Passover as well
on the same day. Was It's really interesting everything coming together,
and some may find there's some symbolism or some thought
a little bit and a little bit deeper into some
of those subjects. I, for one, think maybe it's a
little bit trolling, maybe it's a little this sort of
tongue in cheek. But I've already seen the comments of
(08:53):
the chat talking about aliens, and in fact, I've got
something I got to play for you along those lines.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
They because people.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Are already this is twenty twenty six and social media
has broken everybody's brains along with everything else that we
have been through over the last several years, and any
of them already starting to see some of.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
The some of the alien talk online, So yeah, I
get ready for that.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
In the meantime, you can't leave politics out of anything.
They find a way to sort of crow bar it.
In yesterday, I'm going to tell you something. I had
a lot of hope. Maybe we're just looking for things
right now. But I saw people that I don't that
(09:39):
don't that don't talk about politics at all, but I
know that they're kind of SkELL left. I saw people
that do talk talk about politics, but they certainly skew it.
And I saw folks on the right, everyone's sort of
in a lot of ways, coming together to comment on
this this mission, this moment with the moon. And yet
(10:06):
I also saw some of those fractured groups again, you know,
just as loud as ever talking about what they might
talk about. But I saw a moment that looked to
me like it had the power and it may still
(10:28):
have the power to bring people together no matter what
you you think. I don't know what you are on
these subjects, although I will say some of the things
I'm watching now between I may just prove that I
don't know that we'll ever come together a majority of
(10:49):
people are I think in in that group that watched
this and said, wow, that's pretty cool, that's amazing. But
then you have groups of people that say, why are
we spending money on this? And I get, well, I
get that. It's also kind of like if you can't
(11:10):
see why this is important, maybe we haven't done enough work,
or they haven't done enough work. A better job right
really telling you why it's so important, what we're going
to get on it, and why it matters. And then
I've seen people say, well, we've never gone to the moon.
This is just fake, more fake, it's more phonyble And
I get I get that too. I've seen over the
(11:32):
last few years, you can't believe anything. You see, why
would we believe anything?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
We see?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
The government has lied to us about everything before, and
so we find ourselves and so is Tucker Carlson and
Candas Owns and many others. And I understand how they
got here in a place where you can't believe anything,
I mean anything.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
And what makes that worse is the use of AI.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Now, AI makes it possible for everything to be up
for grabs when it comes to question, how do you
believe any of this stuff? So I get it, I
understand fully, wholeheartedly. I also caution and I question again
whether we'll ever be able to come together on any
(12:16):
uniting situation because the algorithm, the folks that do the
pulling and the pushing and the product, whether they really
have their hooks into us so far so much that'll
ever be possible for us ever to come together fully,
even in a situation like this, where I believe it
(12:39):
was such an opportunity.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I mean, we're going back to do.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Something that we haven't done in fifty years, and America
again proving once again.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
That it can do these things. And you know.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
That should be a massive rallying point for us, especially
on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding
this nation. And yet we find ourselves in this weird
moment where the cracks are maybe even more glaring than
ever before. And like I said, everything is politics nowadays, people,
(13:27):
And when you see your worth kind of through that lens,
like a lot of people on the left to that,
woke folk, never miss a good opportunity to cause strife
in the vision, never miss a good opportunity to jump in,
Like was this the BBC of the BBC trying to
(13:48):
interject politics and wokeism. I think this is into the
clip that we have even in this moment.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Ready folding a permit for moral maze when they show
you if if I beyond previously it's just it can't
be quite sad and support. But you know they talked
about the trip to the moon being a troubling raising
troubling moral questions. Okay that with poverty, disease, there was
climate crisis here on earth. Never stop a moment too,
but propaganda and is this it should be spending billions
(14:15):
going to the moon. But also do we risk repeating
the mistakes of colonial expansion?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Insane?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Okay, so this wasn't the clip of the actual woke
folks saying if this is a clip of a conservative
program or one with at least the common sense in
the UK talking about this, and you would not believe
the division of people in the chat right now, says
(14:45):
you mean to tell me that you still think we
landed on the moon?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
You mean to tell me that you don't think we do.
I understand the concept.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I want to explain to you and actually let me
do this when we come back, because this will probably
be a really good, really good moment to share with
you how I process things, and maybe this will be
helpful for you at least if it doesn't change your mind,
maybe it gives you an idea. Maybe I'll look into
how I, how I'd see the world, and how I operate.
(15:15):
So let me do that coming up in a little bit,
because there's all kinds of things, if not now into
the future, I believe this is going to be very
very well, it's going to be critical. So I'll do
that a little bit of a lunar or a lunatic
whoever you whoever, depending on who you ask. Here a
(15:36):
little bit of a lunar learning session.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Next.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Hey, I'm informative in Gigee.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
It's West Michigan Live with Justin Barkley on News Radio
Wood thirteen hundred and one oh six nine a f m.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
Here are your headlines from the Midwestern or this Thursday,
April second. I'm Robin Hoffman. It's a midwesterneror Not News
original story. Michigan Secretary of State Democrat Jocelyn Benson says
she has no plans to comply with an executive order
from President Trump aimed at enforcing federal election law. Benson
saying in a statement the executive order is illegal.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
On its face.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
States run elections, not the president, and President Trump in
a primetime address from the White House saying the US
is close to reaching its military objectives in Iran, the
President asking Americans to have patients with the spike and
oil prices as a result of the war.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
Many Americans have been concerned to see the recent rise
in gasoline prices here at home. This short term increase
has been entirely the result of the Iranian regime launching
to range terror attacks against commercial oil tankers and neighboring
countries that have nothing to do with the conflict.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
For these stories and more, visit The Midwesterner at the
Midwesterner dot news.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
All Right, I'm watching this play out in the Chat
And by the way, I love the folks at chat
behind the scenes livestream with us right now. I just
love it. I'm getting the and if the people I love.
I've said, I've seen these with a lot of you
(17:14):
been on here from the beginning. But you know, people
telling me we didn't go to the moon. In fact,
on Tammy here saying I've got the documents, I know
we didn't go And then didn't You have no idea
what I have researched. But seriously, I'll be glad to
show you here's the problem, and and and then and
it doesn't matter what you have experienced. I get it.
(17:36):
We are in a period and we're going to continue
to beat. This is going to get even worse as
AI continues. But you don't know anything. You believe, you
believe a lot, You believe what you've been told, you
believe what you've seen, But you don't know. We don't know, no, no, no, no,
unless you've actually been to the moon. Now it is
(17:57):
possible that you were an astronaut and you went to
the moon and you experienced it all.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
But you you still now.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
I know, I know this is gonna be tough for
folks to like understand what I'm saying here.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
That's why this is my system. When things come in.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
That challenged me my beliefs and what I know right
to be real, I take them in.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I look at them.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Some yes, I read a qle Others I go, well
that's interesting, Yeah, I don't know, And I take it
and I put it up on a shelf for later on.
This is just kind of how I deal with it
because I see everything. You think you see everything. I
see all the things you see, and then all the
things everybody else sees, because they all say everybody.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Sends it to me, Ah did you see this? Nine
times out of.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Ten when you do something like that, I'll look at
it and I say, oh, yeah, well that's interesting. So
what I will tell you to do is you need
to as we move forward at a couple Yeah, the
things that are very important to you, look into them,
research them, try to get the answers and the details
as much as you can, and then realize a lot
of the stuff. Yeah, it's just there's only so far
(19:12):
you can take it. There's only so much you can know.
And then at the end of the day, and this
is the toughest thing, there's some things that just don't matter.
There are some things that just don't matter when it
comes down to it. How you live your life, how
you raise your kids, and the impact you live leave
on the world.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
That's it. There's just so many things that you can do,
just a tiny number control that you can control, and
then give God the rest. That's it. And yes, discernment's
a part of all that. More. But why is this
so important because.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Yes, with AI and everything else in the days ahead,
you're gonna be facing more and more at this. So
no matter whether you think we went to the moon
or not, you think the Earth is flatter round her,
you believe anything you see on TV or not, yesterday
was a heck of a day to go through all
that just a little piece maybe a little bit to
how to handle things, at least how I do. And
(20:04):
we'll talk with Pat coming up in just a little bit.
Pat callback joins us, an actual rocket scientist talking about
that mission to the moon, and maybe we'll ask him
some of these tough questions too. And something I think
it's probably even more important is that election integrity aspect
and the executive order of the President signed earlier this
week that all fantastic conversations off the air here. I
(20:25):
can just tell you that much. The behind the scenes
live stream of the chat is buzzing as we speak, Facebook, Twitter,
x Rum, We'll get our locals YouTube and justin Barklay
dot com. Okay, so Pat Collbeck is joining us right now.
We saw just a massive history made yesterday as the
(20:46):
launch of that Artemis two rocket went into space, and
it was as my three year old said, so beautiful.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
There it is the Passes, the Ultimate Target, Milestone, mish Control, Houston,
seeing good performance and more eaches.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I had this moment and I don't know about you, Pat,
but like I just felt like it was an immense
like there was this massive opportunity for us to come
together as a country. And I think, you know, I'm
watching people in the reaction and some of the things
that happen, even for people who watch the show, and
think it myself, have we really gotten this far? Are
we really being this manipulated that we can't even take
(21:27):
a moment to watch. So I sat with I got
my girls together, just five and three, and we watched
this thing live. Because I thought to myself that moment
that the kids had in the sixties, to sit down
in front of the TV and watch that and to
think like it's been over fifty years, when it's seventy
two the last time we did this. This is incredible.
And I do remember I remember sitting in school, I
(21:49):
watched the Challenger disaster and that's you know, that was
one of the things somebody weren't me about yesterday. I
thought to myself, Yeah, I just maybe I think this
time to sit down with the girls to do this, so.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
We get it.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
And again, as my three year old said, wow, that's
so beautiful, she was so she was so like, I
don't know, just sort of raptured with the whole thing,
you know, just our eyes were like as big as
you know, saucers watching the whole thing, and she just
loved it. So I don't know about you, what did
(22:23):
you you know when when you saw this happen yesterday,
what were your thoughts on it?
Speaker 5 (22:28):
All?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Welcome in.
Speaker 9 (22:30):
I gotta admit it brought a tier to my eye.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
I mean, I've been in the space program for a
better part of my early career. I like I said,
I went to the International Space Nursy, I got my
degrees in aerospace engineering. I worked for Boeing on the
International Space Station. I actually was a teacher out at
Space Camp in Huntville, Alabama.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
So I love this stuff. And when I.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Saw that that Artemis to rocket take off at the
launch pad, it brought a teer to my eye. And
you know why, because it felt like we were back.
We're back as America. I mean, I don't want to
get too political on this, but the idea of making
America Great Again is a great slogan, but there's this
is an actual example of America going back to the
(23:15):
days of six flags on the Moon and demonstrating that
America truly is an exceptional nation.
Speaker 9 (23:21):
So for me, it was amazingly inspirational.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
And when you look at it against the backdrop of
the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our country. I mean,
you talked about timing at the beginning of the show
that the timing on this is perfect. I mean, I'd
love to scoot forward the landing a couple of years
from the plan twenty twenty eight landing up till now,
but right now they're not ready with the landers yet.
But I'll tell you, I'll settle for a trip around
(23:48):
the moon with four astronauts right now.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
It's and the thing that it does, because right now
I'm watching a lot of people in America fall victims
to the prop again, and I'm actually seeing it on
the right too. Right now, the psychological piece of this,
the warfare is and I think a lot of people
will recognize when I say this that they too understand
that they recognize this at some point as well. But
we have been attacked as a nation. The left has
(24:15):
really been I mean selling us off bit by bit,
piece by piece, because they said the whole narratives were done.
We're over China's taken over America. Let's just get out
and like sell the rest for scrap is basically how
they thought. But we have seen since this president came
into the office the very beginning days that no, we
still have these capabilities, we still are the greatest nation,
(24:38):
we still have the greatest people. We can still do
whatever it is that we set out to do, because
we're shooting for the stars and you know that that
fits here.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
But people always say.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
To me things like, well, why are we going to
spend all this money on this going to the moon when.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
We can't feed people at home? And we can. Here's
my belief. I believe we can do them both. See.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I believe that if we are focused and this president
has those thoughts you think big, you can do these
big things. That we can walk and shoe bubblegum. At
the same time, Biden couldn't even walk. He fell off
a spike, you know, every time he took a step
here and there. I don't want to take these jabs
at him, but that was a perfect symbol for how
those people thought they were constantly in that sort of
(25:22):
victim mindset. At this point and in this place, we
can do if we get back to that mindset, those beliefs.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
That we can do amazing things, then we can exactly.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
It's a swagger mindset, right. I mean, here we have
the idea that America can do anything we set our
minds to go off and do. It's been brought up
thinking that America is one of the most horrible places
ever to live in the whole world, and that the
American dream is gone. And then there's they depend on
government to go often and give them whatever that they want.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
That's not the case here.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
And finally we got a president that's leading and demonstrating
by example that all the negative stuff about America doesn't apply.
It's uh, we can. We truly are an exceptional nation.
And it's about time to start swinging for the fences again.
You know, for too long everybody's been talking about, uh,
(26:17):
you know, getting up to bat and just you know,
putting out a sacrifice fly out there. And finally we
got somebody who's swinging for the fences, and I appreciate it.
There's a there's that mindset as Americans that I think
we need to do that's ford oriented, that's forward looking,
and frankly, it's rooted in our faith, and that that's
what their.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
Real target is on all this.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
From my perspective, I mean, when you talk about what
makes America strong, it's our Judeo Christian roots.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
They can't stand it.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
And and you remember the Foundation or the Matrix of Liberty,
the old Monument to the Forefathers out in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Speaker 9 (26:52):
I talk about this.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Whenever I'm on Lindell TV, and I try to end
the show with this reminder, if you want to know
what makes America great again, And at the center of
that statue, at the center of this monument that was
funded by taxpayer dollars was the idea of faith.
Speaker 9 (27:07):
And morality and law and freedom and education.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
I mean, all this was about making us better as people,
as human beings.
Speaker 9 (27:18):
And so we're up in.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
This battle right now for all these people that want
to make you worse, that want you to be convinced
that you can't do great things anymore. Well, I think
with the President's demonstrating here what the folks out at
NASA are demonstrating what the folks out at Lockheed and
Boeing and all the other aerospace companies that were part
of this Artemis two mission are demonstrating is that if
(27:43):
you dream big, you can achieve big.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Hey man, We've got to get back to that.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
We've got to get back to that mindset, that way
of thinking, and make the mistake that everything that we've
watched through the years has been chipping away at that
idea that we can't I mean, we're we got people
that are solidly been put in the government and institutions
all across the country who hate this country who think
(28:08):
that it's never been great.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
So great again.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
They can't even understand that they think it's never been great,
but they've been indocted, it has been programmed to think
that way. And unfortunately, uh, there's there's far too many
of them. Let me ask you this, what are we
going to get?
Speaker 9 (28:21):
Justin just reminds me of something.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
When I was in the Michigan Senate, I put it,
I did a floor speech and later put on an
op ed on the Detroit News. They carried it and
it was called we need more Footprints, and it was
highlighting that iconic photo of Neil Armstrong when he came
off the Lander on the Apollo eleven mission. And and
I'm gonna when I get a chance, I'm gonna post
(28:44):
it up on all my social media so everybody can
go off and look at it again, because I think
that gets to the heart of why I got so
emotional on that launch yesterday. Because this is a big deal.
I think we're getting back into creating some more footprints again.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Your history with the program them and UH and buzz
Alder and all those things that you've I've seen you
post about and share online.
Speaker 8 (29:08):
UH.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
I think is really incredible. Pat.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
I also want to ask you today about election integrity.
That's the other piece. Yeah, that that was another big
You think about all the historic things that are happening
right now, and it's one after the other. So we
saw they can't get it done in the Senate. President says,
you know what, I'm gonna do it on my own
sign this executive Order. There are a lot of pieces
(29:32):
in this executive Order that look like they're going to
have some good teeth, and I think most of it
folks want to see. You know this this thing with
the mail and the and the ballots, I think is
a big, big step in the right direction. Walk us
through what we what we witnessed. Why that's so important.
Speaker 9 (29:50):
Well for the executive order.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
What's actually in the executive order that I think is
of no if if you want me to focus in
on that for a little bit, but it's essentially establishing
the United States Postal Service as the gateway for determining
whether or not somebody's a legal voter. Essentially, they're going
to be provided with data from the federal government as
(30:14):
to who are citizens and who are of voting age
and all that good stuff. They're going to be provided
with that database, and they're going to use that to
filter out who gets the ballots and who doesn't. And
if you're not a legal voter, then you're not going
to get a ballot, no matter what Jocelyn Benson and
her friends have to say about it. That is on
(30:35):
the mail in voting vulnerability that we have in our elections,
which arguably is probably ninety percent of the election problem. Now,
the Dems have other ways of getting around this, so
just maximize the use of dropboxes because they want anonymous
casting a ballots and stuff. You know, I'm not going
to I you know, can't solve everything all at once,
(30:56):
but the President's taken care of I believe one of
the biggest to the integrity of our elections, and that's
mail in voting. So this is a really good executive
order he put out. There would be better if the
Congress got off their dry air in particularly in the
US Senate, and actually push this. But you know what,
I appreciate that the President gave them an opportunity to
(31:18):
do the right thing. They didn't do the right thing,
and he didn't sit back and wait for them and
just blame him for it. He went off and did
what he could to go off and help secure our elections.
And believe it or not, it sounds like Nancy Pelosi
is actually making some moves to help secure our elections too.
I don't know if you've heard her recent statement, but
she was actually expressing concerns about the integrity of the
(31:40):
machines and she was afraid that Republicans would come in
and modify the votes with these machines. So I'm thinking,
you know what, there's one way to solve this, Nancy,
let's just get rid of the machines. I think it's
she actually helped Tee up a nice little the next
executive order for President Trump that says, let's go off
and help Nancy. People will see sleep well at night,
(32:01):
and let's just get rid of all the electronic voting systems.
Speaker 9 (32:04):
That'll take care of the other ten percent here she is.
Speaker 10 (32:07):
We always have concerns, but with this president and these
Republicans who have no commitment to the rule of law
and doing things the appropriate way, we're ready. We have
three purposes now. One is to win the midterms, Two
is to make sure the elections are safe, and three
(32:28):
to tell people what we will do when we win.
And that is that is the mission.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
All.
Speaker 10 (32:35):
There's so many things that you can do to protect
the election, and they are being done, whether it's litigation
or legislation or just mobilization, communication, all that. But in
addition to that, we have to be on guard as
to what they may try to do to the technology.
(32:57):
They may try to creep into the technology and create
a false count. How do you go on against that.
That's a challenge.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Yeah, that's a minute. I thought this wasn't a thing,
This was just for conspiracy theory cooks.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
What happened?
Speaker 8 (33:12):
I know?
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Well, remember prior to the twenty twenty election. I mean
you couldn't turn on a news station without the Democrats
expressing concern with the machines. I mean they had congressional
hearings where they had the CEOs like John Polis, the
former CEO of Dominion Voting Systems, being questioned about the
supply chain, the fact that they're using Chinese components and
(33:34):
all this kind of stuff. All this was ramped up
in the lead up to twenty twenty election, and then
after the twenty twenty election, Mom's a word, and if
you talked about the machines, if you actually wanted to
investigate the machines, you got indicted, You got investigated, you
got threatened. And Nancy Pelosi and her friends were all
for it. Well, myself, my friend Mike Lindell, and others
(33:56):
were pretty inconsistent, saying, nope, these machines are a vulnerable
vector to the integrity of our elections. They need to
be gotten rid of asap. And so you can tell
who's telling the truth, who keeps their story consistent all
the way through, versus Nancy and crew that seemed to
be changing their narrative depending on who wins the election.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Pat Collbeck follow them online. PJ callback obviously over on
Twitter Rex, but he's all over the place in this
fight for election integrity. And I've found your fime and
things that you shared recently about Artemis and I'm sure
over the coming days and your experience and all of this,
maybe we'll have you back after it's all wrapped up
to talk about some of these things. But I found
it to be very interesting and we kind of hit
(34:40):
a double A two for today. So thank you for
taking a time to be here with us. And where
where can folks find you? I know you're working hard
with Mike and the crew to continue to keep up
the fight.

Yeah, well, go to Election Crimebureau dot com. That's the
website that I curate for Mike Lindell and say because
over the next couple of weeks, I'm still I'm putting
the finishing touches on a blockbuster report.

I mean Grock actually said.
Speaker 4 (35:07):

crew know that said. It's one of the most professional,
well constructed, non fringe compilations of election fraud. There's over
eight hundred findings in it, of which over five hundred

and every day we have these conversations, we know that
we're gonna we're gonna be in for a rocky ride
trying to get things back on track with the the

I'm Robin Hoffman. It's a Midwesterner, not News. Original story
here in Michigan Jocelyn Benson promising to defy President Trump's
executive order on verifying citizenship in order to vote in
our upcoming November election. The Democrat Secretary of State overseeing
(37:48):
her own election for governor, promising to take swift action
to fight what she calls President Trump's illegal order in court. Meanwhile,
President Trump focused on keeping Americans safe and a prime
time address from the White House, the President asking the
American people for patients at the pump as he acknowledges
gas prices are up. He also says the world will
(38:09):
be a lot safer now that the US military is
destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities.
Speaker 8 (38:14):
These actions will cripple Iran military, crush their ability to
support terrorist proxies, and deny them the ability to build
a nuclear bomb.

We'll break it down. Plus are good for Pat Colbeck,

They'll come to your home and take care of all
those things for you, walk you through it at HHM
lending dot com. Yep, I'll president y'all making history as
(02:02):
the first sitting US president to attend a Supreme Court
oral argument session yesterday and we heard some of those
first opening arguments even yesterday during the after show. There's
a little bit of I think, mixed reaction to where
(02:24):
this is going to land. The usual folks kind of
thinking that it's not going to go in Trump's favor.
I'm not necessarily said on that the questions that were asked.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Sometimes you get a really good.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Perspective of where things are going to going, and sometimes sometimes.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
You just can't know.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Although I wouldn't be surprised if the Supreme Court in
a conservative way, not in the sense of politics, but
just in more of the sense of we're not going
to do anything groundbreaking or shattering here doesn't necessarily give
him the relief he was looking for. And I don't
think that has anything to do with him going to
the court. Not all day yesterday we heard from liberals
(03:08):
and the media, but I repeat myself again, Oh, this
is unprecedent.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I can't believe he's doing it.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
It's almost like he's trying to threaten the court and
intimidate him. No, there's you know, there's actually a seat
for the president there at the Court.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
What little detail many have missed. We'll talk about that
coming un.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
President Trump addressing the nation last night from the White House.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
In a speech.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
That was really just an update. And I don't know
that we learned much of anything new.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Now.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I will say the stock markets are leave the way
things are reacting. Oil markets as well today seem like
they learned quite a bit new. It's it's just the
up and down sort of psychological knee jerk reaction that
the markets tend to do. Right now, we're looking at
futures down almost seven hundred points. And why is that.
(04:01):
It's because, essentially, he said, we got a couple more
weeks of trying to get through this. The other thing
that may have made an issue is he told Europe
and the rest of the folks that get their oil
for the Straight or her moves, they're on their own.
He said, you wouldn't help us when we asked you
to do it, so get your own oil. Well, that's interesting.
(04:24):
More on the ceasefire only considered once the Straight is
actually reopened for shipping. He says, we'll keep an eye
on the markets this morning, Oil and.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
The mid ones as well coming up.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
It was massive news again yesterday NASA's Artemis two mission launching.
They were go for lift off, a successful mission launching
from Kennedy's Space Center yesterday. I was wild to watch,
actually watch with my girls. And there's some people that said,
wait a minute, don't do that, what are you doing?
Don't watch live television that feed remember the Challenger, and
(05:04):
I do.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I was I was in kindergarten, I think when had happened.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Or maybe first maybe it was first grade. I was young,
and I don't remember. I do remember watching from the library.
We all got to go to the library to watch it.
Needless to say, that didn't happen yesterday, Thank god, history did,
and in a good way.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
In fact, that thing is.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Right now making its way on its ten day mission
up to the Moon and around and we'll continue to
give you updates as that all sort of pans out.
But in the meantime, how about this video from the
launch yesterday. It was just absolutely incredible to watch it.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Booster ignition and lift off the crew of Artemis two,
now bound for the Moon. Humanity's next great voyage begins.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Fantastic, God speed and God.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Blessing the flight of Integrity on the Artemis two mission
round them.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
That's incredible.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
My three year old, I didn't think she would get
it as much, but my three year old, she was
just glued eyes on the thing that the whole time
you could tell she was really kind of locked down
and kind of concerned in some ways.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
She wondered if it would be scary or not.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
And then later after we watched it and they got
ready for bad and things. She's just talked about how beautiful,
how pretty it was to watch it fly into the air.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I said, you want to be an astronaut when you
grow up. Hunt.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I don't know that that's her her direction, but if
it is good for her, she's got the footsteps, or
rather the big boots to follow in Christina Cook from
right here in Grand Rapids, Michigan, one of our own
on that flight, as we wished him well, I want
to talk about why this is so big, earth shattering
and the historic nature of it with our good friend
(07:24):
Patrick Colebeck, former Michigan State Center, former golbnatorial candidate, election
integrity warrior.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
We'll talk to him and the latest about the.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Save Act executive order that the President sign the other day.
Both could have some real, massive historic consequences. All that
and more coming up a little bit after Red nine
thirty this morning, right here on West Michigan Live.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
In the meantime, join it.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Call Justin now at six one six seven seven for
twenty four to twenty four. That's six one six seven
seven for twenty four to twenty four, West Michigan Live
with Justin Barklay on news radio Wood thirteen hundred and
one oh six nine f M.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
That's a great question, Chason in the chat, I don't
know if you ever want to chat with his Facebook Twitter. Actually,
we'll get our locals YouTube. That's where we launch our
live stream. He said, who plans a moon launch on
April Fool's Day? Knowing many Americans doubt moon landings. What
a great question for Patrick Colbeck. How do they plan
these things? Why was it? And again it was a
(08:28):
full moon yesterday at the beginning of Passover as well
on the same day. Was It's really interesting everything coming together,
and some may find there's some symbolism or some thought
a little bit and a little bit deeper into some
of those subjects. I, for one, think maybe it's a
little bit trolling, maybe it's a little this sort of
tongue in cheek. But I've already seen the comments of
(08:53):
the chat talking about aliens, and in fact, I've got
something I got to play for you along those lines.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
They because people.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Are already this is twenty twenty six and social media
has broken everybody's brains along with everything else that we
have been through over the last several years, and any
of them already starting to see some of.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
The some of the alien talk online, So yeah, I
get ready for that.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
In the meantime, you can't leave politics out of anything.
They find a way to sort of crow bar it.
In yesterday, I'm going to tell you something. I had
a lot of hope. Maybe we're just looking for things
right now. But I saw people that I don't that
(09:39):
don't that don't talk about politics at all, but I
know that they're kind of SkELL left. I saw people
that do talk talk about politics, but they certainly skew it.
And I saw folks on the right, everyone's sort of
in a lot of ways, coming together to comment on
this this mission, this moment with the moon. And yet
(10:06):
I also saw some of those fractured groups again, you know,
just as loud as ever talking about what they might
talk about. But I saw a moment that looked to
me like it had the power and it may still
(10:28):
have the power to bring people together no matter what
you you think. I don't know what you are on
these subjects, although I will say some of the things
I'm watching now between I may just prove that I
don't know that we'll ever come together a majority of
(10:49):
people are I think in in that group that watched
this and said, wow, that's pretty cool, that's amazing. But
then you have groups of people that say, why are
we spending money on this? And I get, well, I
get that. It's also kind of like if you can't
(11:10):
see why this is important, maybe we haven't done enough work,
or they haven't done enough work. A better job right
really telling you why it's so important, what we're going
to get on it, and why it matters. And then
I've seen people say, well, we've never gone to the moon.
This is just fake, more fake, it's more phonyble And
I get I get that too. I've seen over the
(11:32):
last few years, you can't believe anything. You see, why
would we believe anything?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
We see?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
The government has lied to us about everything before, and
so we find ourselves and so is Tucker Carlson and
Candas Owns and many others. And I understand how they
got here in a place where you can't believe anything,
I mean anything.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
And what makes that worse is the use of AI.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Now, AI makes it possible for everything to be up
for grabs when it comes to question, how do you
believe any of this stuff? So I get it, I
understand fully, wholeheartedly. I also caution and I question again
whether we'll ever be able to come together on any
(12:16):
uniting situation because the algorithm, the folks that do the
pulling and the pushing and the product, whether they really
have their hooks into us so far so much that'll
ever be possible for us ever to come together fully,
even in a situation like this, where I believe it
(12:39):
was such an opportunity.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I mean, we're going back to do.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Something that we haven't done in fifty years, and America
again proving once again.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
That it can do these things. And you know.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
That should be a massive rallying point for us, especially
on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding
this nation. And yet we find ourselves in this weird
moment where the cracks are maybe even more glaring than
ever before. And like I said, everything is politics nowadays, people,
(13:27):
And when you see your worth kind of through that lens,
like a lot of people on the left to that,
woke folk, never miss a good opportunity to cause strife
in the vision, never miss a good opportunity to jump in,
Like was this the BBC of the BBC trying to
(13:48):
interject politics and wokeism. I think this is into the
clip that we have even in this moment.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Ready folding a permit for moral maze when they show
you if if I beyond previously it's just it can't
be quite sad and support. But you know they talked
about the trip to the moon being a troubling raising
troubling moral questions. Okay that with poverty, disease, there was
climate crisis here on earth. Never stop a moment too,
but propaganda and is this it should be spending billions
(14:15):
going to the moon. But also do we risk repeating
the mistakes of colonial expansion?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Insane?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Okay, so this wasn't the clip of the actual woke
folks saying if this is a clip of a conservative
program or one with at least the common sense in
the UK talking about this, and you would not believe
the division of people in the chat right now, says
(14:45):
you mean to tell me that you still think we
landed on the moon?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
You mean to tell me that you don't think we do.
I understand the concept.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I want to explain to you and actually let me
do this when we come back, because this will probably
be a really good, really good moment to share with
you how I process things, and maybe this will be
helpful for you at least if it doesn't change your mind,
maybe it gives you an idea. Maybe I'll look into
how I, how I'd see the world, and how I operate.
(15:15):
So let me do that coming up in a little bit,
because there's all kinds of things, if not now into
the future, I believe this is going to be very
very well, it's going to be critical. So I'll do
that a little bit of a lunar or a lunatic
whoever you whoever, depending on who you ask. Here a
(15:36):
little bit of a lunar learning session.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Next.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Hey, I'm informative in Gigee.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
It's West Michigan Live with Justin Barkley on News Radio
Wood thirteen hundred and one oh six nine a f m.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
Here are your headlines from the Midwestern or this Thursday,
April second. I'm Robin Hoffman. It's a midwesterneror Not News
original story. Michigan Secretary of State Democrat Jocelyn Benson says
she has no plans to comply with an executive order
from President Trump aimed at enforcing federal election law. Benson
saying in a statement the executive order is illegal.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
On its face.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
States run elections, not the president, and President Trump in
a primetime address from the White House saying the US
is close to reaching its military objectives in Iran, the
President asking Americans to have patients with the spike and
oil prices as a result of the war.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
Many Americans have been concerned to see the recent rise
in gasoline prices here at home. This short term increase
has been entirely the result of the Iranian regime launching
to range terror attacks against commercial oil tankers and neighboring
countries that have nothing to do with the conflict.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
For these stories and more, visit The Midwesterner at the
Midwesterner dot news.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
All Right, I'm watching this play out in the Chat
And by the way, I love the folks at chat
behind the scenes livestream with us right now. I just
love it. I'm getting the and if the people I love.
I've said, I've seen these with a lot of you
(17:14):
been on here from the beginning. But you know, people
telling me we didn't go to the moon. In fact,
on Tammy here saying I've got the documents, I know
we didn't go And then didn't You have no idea
what I have researched. But seriously, I'll be glad to
show you here's the problem, and and and then and
it doesn't matter what you have experienced. I get it.
(17:36):
We are in a period and we're going to continue
to beat. This is going to get even worse as
AI continues. But you don't know anything. You believe, you
believe a lot, You believe what you've been told, you
believe what you've seen, But you don't know. We don't know, no, no, no, no,
unless you've actually been to the moon. Now it is
(17:57):
possible that you were an astronaut and you went to
the moon and you experienced it all.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
But you you still now.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
I know, I know this is gonna be tough for
folks to like understand what I'm saying here.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
That's why this is my system. When things come in.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
That challenged me my beliefs and what I know right
to be real, I take them in.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I look at them.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Some yes, I read a qle Others I go, well
that's interesting, Yeah, I don't know, And I take it
and I put it up on a shelf for later on.
This is just kind of how I deal with it
because I see everything. You think you see everything. I
see all the things you see, and then all the
things everybody else sees, because they all say everybody.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Sends it to me, Ah did you see this? Nine
times out of.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Ten when you do something like that, I'll look at
it and I say, oh, yeah, well that's interesting. So
what I will tell you to do is you need
to as we move forward at a couple Yeah, the
things that are very important to you, look into them,
research them, try to get the answers and the details
as much as you can, and then realize a lot
of the stuff. Yeah, it's just there's only so far
(19:12):
you can take it. There's only so much you can know.
And then at the end of the day, and this
is the toughest thing, there's some things that just don't matter.
There are some things that just don't matter when it
comes down to it. How you live your life, how
you raise your kids, and the impact you live leave
on the world.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
That's it. There's just so many things that you can do,
just a tiny number control that you can control, and
then give God the rest. That's it. And yes, discernment's
a part of all that. More. But why is this
so important because.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Yes, with AI and everything else in the days ahead,
you're gonna be facing more and more at this. So
no matter whether you think we went to the moon
or not, you think the Earth is flatter round her,
you believe anything you see on TV or not, yesterday
was a heck of a day to go through all
that just a little piece maybe a little bit to
how to handle things, at least how I do. And
(20:04):
we'll talk with Pat coming up in just a little bit.
Pat callback joins us, an actual rocket scientist talking about
that mission to the moon, and maybe we'll ask him
some of these tough questions too. And something I think
it's probably even more important is that election integrity aspect
and the executive order of the President signed earlier this
week that all fantastic conversations off the air here. I
(20:25):
can just tell you that much. The behind the scenes
live stream of the chat is buzzing as we speak, Facebook, Twitter,
x Rum, We'll get our locals YouTube and justin Barklay
dot com. Okay, so Pat Collbeck is joining us right now.
We saw just a massive history made yesterday as the
(20:46):
launch of that Artemis two rocket went into space, and
it was as my three year old said, so beautiful.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
There it is the Passes, the Ultimate Target, Milestone, mish Control, Houston,
seeing good performance and more eaches.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I had this moment and I don't know about you, Pat,
but like I just felt like it was an immense
like there was this massive opportunity for us to come
together as a country. And I think, you know, I'm
watching people in the reaction and some of the things
that happen, even for people who watch the show, and
think it myself, have we really gotten this far? Are
we really being this manipulated that we can't even take
(21:27):
a moment to watch. So I sat with I got
my girls together, just five and three, and we watched
this thing live. Because I thought to myself that moment
that the kids had in the sixties, to sit down
in front of the TV and watch that and to
think like it's been over fifty years, when it's seventy
two the last time we did this. This is incredible.
And I do remember I remember sitting in school, I
(21:49):
watched the Challenger disaster and that's you know, that was
one of the things somebody weren't me about yesterday. I
thought to myself, Yeah, I just maybe I think this
time to sit down with the girls to do this, so.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
We get it.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
And again, as my three year old said, wow, that's
so beautiful, she was so she was so like, I
don't know, just sort of raptured with the whole thing,
you know, just our eyes were like as big as
you know, saucers watching the whole thing, and she just
loved it. So I don't know about you, what did
(22:23):
you you know when when you saw this happen yesterday,
what were your thoughts on it?
Speaker 5 (22:28):
All?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Welcome in.
Speaker 9 (22:30):
I gotta admit it brought a tier to my eye.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
I mean, I've been in the space program for a
better part of my early career. I like I said,
I went to the International Space Nursy, I got my
degrees in aerospace engineering. I worked for Boeing on the
International Space Station. I actually was a teacher out at
Space Camp in Huntville, Alabama.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
So I love this stuff. And when I.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Saw that that Artemis to rocket take off at the
launch pad, it brought a teer to my eye. And
you know why, because it felt like we were back.
We're back as America. I mean, I don't want to
get too political on this, but the idea of making
America Great Again is a great slogan, but there's this
is an actual example of America going back to the
(23:15):
days of six flags on the Moon and demonstrating that
America truly is an exceptional nation.
Speaker 9 (23:21):
So for me, it was amazingly inspirational.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
And when you look at it against the backdrop of
the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our country. I mean,
you talked about timing at the beginning of the show
that the timing on this is perfect. I mean, I'd
love to scoot forward the landing a couple of years
from the plan twenty twenty eight landing up till now,
but right now they're not ready with the landers yet.
But I'll tell you, I'll settle for a trip around
(23:48):
the moon with four astronauts right now.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
It's and the thing that it does, because right now
I'm watching a lot of people in America fall victims
to the prop again, and I'm actually seeing it on
the right too. Right now, the psychological piece of this,
the warfare is and I think a lot of people
will recognize when I say this that they too understand
that they recognize this at some point as well. But
we have been attacked as a nation. The left has
(24:15):
really been I mean selling us off bit by bit,
piece by piece, because they said the whole narratives were done.
We're over China's taken over America. Let's just get out
and like sell the rest for scrap is basically how
they thought. But we have seen since this president came
into the office the very beginning days that no, we
still have these capabilities, we still are the greatest nation,
(24:38):
we still have the greatest people. We can still do
whatever it is that we set out to do, because
we're shooting for the stars and you know that that
fits here.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
But people always say.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
To me things like, well, why are we going to
spend all this money on this going to the moon when.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
We can't feed people at home? And we can. Here's
my belief. I believe we can do them both. See.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I believe that if we are focused and this president
has those thoughts you think big, you can do these
big things. That we can walk and shoe bubblegum. At
the same time, Biden couldn't even walk. He fell off
a spike, you know, every time he took a step
here and there. I don't want to take these jabs
at him, but that was a perfect symbol for how
those people thought they were constantly in that sort of
(25:22):
victim mindset. At this point and in this place, we
can do if we get back to that mindset, those beliefs.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
That we can do amazing things, then we can exactly.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
It's a swagger mindset, right. I mean, here we have
the idea that America can do anything we set our
minds to go off and do. It's been brought up
thinking that America is one of the most horrible places
ever to live in the whole world, and that the
American dream is gone. And then there's they depend on
government to go often and give them whatever that they want.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
That's not the case here.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
And finally we got a president that's leading and demonstrating
by example that all the negative stuff about America doesn't apply.
It's uh, we can. We truly are an exceptional nation.
And it's about time to start swinging for the fences again.
You know, for too long everybody's been talking about, uh,
(26:17):
you know, getting up to bat and just you know,
putting out a sacrifice fly out there. And finally we
got somebody who's swinging for the fences, and I appreciate it.
There's a there's that mindset as Americans that I think
we need to do that's ford oriented, that's forward looking,
and frankly, it's rooted in our faith, and that that's
what their.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
Real target is on all this.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
From my perspective, I mean, when you talk about what
makes America strong, it's our Judeo Christian roots.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
They can't stand it.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
And and you remember the Foundation or the Matrix of Liberty,
the old Monument to the Forefathers out in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Speaker 9 (26:52):
I talk about this.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Whenever I'm on Lindell TV, and I try to end
the show with this reminder, if you want to know
what makes America great again, And at the center of
that statue, at the center of this monument that was
funded by taxpayer dollars was the idea of faith.
Speaker 9 (27:07):
And morality and law and freedom and education.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
I mean, all this was about making us better as people,
as human beings.
Speaker 9 (27:18):
And so we're up in.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
This battle right now for all these people that want
to make you worse, that want you to be convinced
that you can't do great things anymore. Well, I think
with the President's demonstrating here what the folks out at
NASA are demonstrating what the folks out at Lockheed and
Boeing and all the other aerospace companies that were part
of this Artemis two mission are demonstrating is that if
(27:43):
you dream big, you can achieve big.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Hey man, We've got to get back to that.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
We've got to get back to that mindset, that way
of thinking, and make the mistake that everything that we've
watched through the years has been chipping away at that
idea that we can't I mean, we're we got people
that are solidly been put in the government and institutions
all across the country who hate this country who think
(28:08):
that it's never been great.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
So great again.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
They can't even understand that they think it's never been great,
but they've been indocted, it has been programmed to think
that way. And unfortunately, uh, there's there's far too many
of them. Let me ask you this, what are we
going to get?
Speaker 9 (28:21):
Justin just reminds me of something.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
When I was in the Michigan Senate, I put it,
I did a floor speech and later put on an
op ed on the Detroit News. They carried it and
it was called we need more Footprints, and it was
highlighting that iconic photo of Neil Armstrong when he came
off the Lander on the Apollo eleven mission. And and
I'm gonna when I get a chance, I'm gonna post
(28:44):
it up on all my social media so everybody can
go off and look at it again, because I think
that gets to the heart of why I got so
emotional on that launch yesterday. Because this is a big deal.
I think we're getting back into creating some more footprints again.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Your history with the program them and UH and buzz
Alder and all those things that you've I've seen you
post about and share online.
Speaker 8 (29:08):
UH.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
I think is really incredible. Pat.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
I also want to ask you today about election integrity.
That's the other piece. Yeah, that that was another big
You think about all the historic things that are happening
right now, and it's one after the other. So we
saw they can't get it done in the Senate. President says,
you know what, I'm gonna do it on my own
sign this executive Order. There are a lot of pieces
(29:32):
in this executive Order that look like they're going to
have some good teeth, and I think most of it
folks want to see. You know this this thing with
the mail and the and the ballots, I think is
a big, big step in the right direction. Walk us
through what we what we witnessed. Why that's so important.
Speaker 9 (29:50):
Well for the executive order.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
What's actually in the executive order that I think is
of no if if you want me to focus in
on that for a little bit, but it's essentially establishing
the United States Postal Service as the gateway for determining
whether or not somebody's a legal voter. Essentially, they're going
to be provided with data from the federal government as
(30:14):
to who are citizens and who are of voting age
and all that good stuff. They're going to be provided
with that database, and they're going to use that to
filter out who gets the ballots and who doesn't. And
if you're not a legal voter, then you're not going
to get a ballot, no matter what Jocelyn Benson and
her friends have to say about it. That is on
(30:35):
the mail in voting vulnerability that we have in our elections,
which arguably is probably ninety percent of the election problem. Now,
the Dems have other ways of getting around this, so
just maximize the use of dropboxes because they want anonymous
casting a ballots and stuff. You know, I'm not going
to I you know, can't solve everything all at once,
(30:56):
but the President's taken care of I believe one of
the biggest to the integrity of our elections, and that's
mail in voting. So this is a really good executive
order he put out. There would be better if the
Congress got off their dry air in particularly in the
US Senate, and actually push this. But you know what,
I appreciate that the President gave them an opportunity to
(31:18):
do the right thing. They didn't do the right thing,
and he didn't sit back and wait for them and
just blame him for it. He went off and did
what he could to go off and help secure our elections.
And believe it or not, it sounds like Nancy Pelosi
is actually making some moves to help secure our elections too.
I don't know if you've heard her recent statement, but
she was actually expressing concerns about the integrity of the
(31:40):
machines and she was afraid that Republicans would come in
and modify the votes with these machines. So I'm thinking,
you know what, there's one way to solve this, Nancy,
let's just get rid of the machines. I think it's
she actually helped Tee up a nice little the next
executive order for President Trump that says, let's go off
and help Nancy. People will see sleep well at night,
(32:01):
and let's just get rid of all the electronic voting systems.
Speaker 9 (32:04):
That'll take care of the other ten percent here she is.
Speaker 10 (32:07):
We always have concerns, but with this president and these
Republicans who have no commitment to the rule of law
and doing things the appropriate way, we're ready. We have
three purposes now. One is to win the midterms, Two
is to make sure the elections are safe, and three
(32:28):
to tell people what we will do when we win.
And that is that is the mission.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
All.
Speaker 10 (32:35):
There's so many things that you can do to protect
the election, and they are being done, whether it's litigation
or legislation or just mobilization, communication, all that. But in
addition to that, we have to be on guard as
to what they may try to do to the technology.
(32:57):
They may try to creep into the technology and create
a false count. How do you go on against that.
That's a challenge.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Yeah, that's a minute. I thought this wasn't a thing,
This was just for conspiracy theory cooks.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
What happened?
Speaker 8 (33:12):
I know?
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Well, remember prior to the twenty twenty election. I mean
you couldn't turn on a news station without the Democrats
expressing concern with the machines. I mean they had congressional
hearings where they had the CEOs like John Polis, the
former CEO of Dominion Voting Systems, being questioned about the
supply chain, the fact that they're using Chinese components and
(33:34):
all this kind of stuff. All this was ramped up
in the lead up to twenty twenty election, and then
after the twenty twenty election, Mom's a word, and if
you talked about the machines, if you actually wanted to
investigate the machines, you got indicted, You got investigated, you
got threatened. And Nancy Pelosi and her friends were all
for it. Well, myself, my friend Mike Lindell, and others
(33:56):
were pretty inconsistent, saying, nope, these machines are a vulnerable
vector to the integrity of our elections. They need to
be gotten rid of asap. And so you can tell
who's telling the truth, who keeps their story consistent all
the way through, versus Nancy and crew that seemed to
be changing their narrative depending on who wins the election.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Pat Collbeck follow them online. PJ callback obviously over on
Twitter Rex, but he's all over the place in this
fight for election integrity. And I've found your fime and
things that you shared recently about Artemis and I'm sure
over the coming days and your experience and all of this,
maybe we'll have you back after it's all wrapped up
to talk about some of these things. But I found
it to be very interesting and we kind of hit
(34:40):
a double A two for today. So thank you for
taking a time to be here with us. And where
where can folks find you? I know you're working hard
with Mike and the crew to continue to keep up
the fight.

Yeah, well, go to Election Crimebureau dot com. That's the
website that I curate for Mike Lindell and say because
over the next couple of weeks, I'm still I'm putting
the finishing touches on a blockbuster report.
Speaker 9 (35:06):
I mean Grock actually said.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
It's the the most It gave me a very good
crew know that said. It's one of the most professional,
well constructed, non fringe compilations of election fraud. There's over
eight hundred findings in it, of which over five hundred
are established fact from across all all battleground states, and
(35:29):
I'll tell you that's going to be coming out in
the next week or two. I'm just going through validating
two and forty footnote citations right now, so little tedious,
but yeah, go to Election Crimebuera you see more information
out on that. And I'm telling you stay tuned too,
because the next couple of weeks, in particular, you're going

More conversations coming up with you after this, and of course, yeah,
the the news never stops. We're checking a look at
the markets. Uh they opened down, tumbling down CNBC this
is this morning, down more than five hundred points right now. Uh,
they weren't down as far as I think seven hundred,
(36:34):
so they've had a little bit of recovery. But here's
the point, you know, we talk about this and each
and every day we have these conversations, we know that
we're gonna we're gonna be in for a rocky ride
trying to get things back on track with the the
way things that this administration is working. President Trump is
boy going through a lot in this first year, and
as you see that all play out, you need to
(36:56):
plan a holistic approach. The folks that telling well with
Mike Lester and the team do just that to make
sure that you're writing no matter what happens, whether you
want to retire today or ten twenty years down the
road from now, reach out to Mike of the team
today at sixty one six sixty six one one thousand
and sixty one six six sixty one one thousand and
see how they can help you get ready no matter what.

Live with Justin Barklay on News Radio one thirteen hundred

Speaker 7 (37:28):
As carry your headlines from the Midwesterner this Thursday, April second.
I'm Robin Hoffman. It's a Midwesterner, not News. Original story
here in Michigan Jocelyn Benson promising to defy President Trump's
executive order on verifying citizenship in order to vote in
our upcoming November election. The Democrat Secretary of State overseeing
(37:48):
her own election for governor, promising to take swift action
to fight what she calls President Trump's illegal order in court. Meanwhile,
President Trump focused on keeping Americans safe and a prime
time address from the White House, the President asking the

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
