Speaker 1 (00:01):
Live from Hyatad Monroe Center in downtown Grand Rapids. We're
talking about what matters most to you when West Michigan
joining a conversation now at six one six seven seven four,
twenty four to twenty four. At six one, six seven
seven four twenty four to twenty four, it's West Michigan
Live with Justin Barklay on Wood Radio Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Welcome in live from the Swamp. We continue our coverage
as we lead up to the first one hundred days
here during President Trump's administration.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
We have lots to talk about today.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
In fact, we've got great interviews conversations taking place right
inside the White House complex there the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
We're part of the folks on Radio Row. Something special
this administration is doing with the first one hundred days
(00:59):
and transparency to make sure that folks know what's going
on inside.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
The White House and this administration.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Now, you voted, you voted for President Trump, and you asked,
you demanded that the promise he's made on the campaign
trail be fulfilled. And we're already starting to see that
in big ways, in big numbers.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
You're going to hear f folks inside the administration today.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
In fact, Secretary of the Argument of Homeland Security, Christy
nom will join.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Us a little bit later on the program.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
We're going to find out what happened to the purse,
I promise you that, but also more importantly, what's been
happening in the last one hundred days and what is
coming ahead. The conversations are big today and speaking which
no Big three, so we'll.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Skip that and get right on inside.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
In with us right now is Kalindor, the Deputy Communication Director.
And I just found out this is this is some
good Michigan talk. Responsible for the photo?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Am I allowed to say this?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Or no?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Can I?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I'm not solely responsible for the photo. I think the
photo of your beloved governor speaks for itself. I mean,
I would never advise a client or a coworker of
mine to go into the Oval office and act a
fool like that.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
But she's fully responsible.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
It sounds like she can't really help it. But no,
we made sure that that got out there. That was
a very interesting photo. I'm glad that American people got
to see it. And I'm sure you know she's never
shied away from the attention, so I'm sure she is
loving it. In her own way.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Right. We love shining the spotlight on things like that
because we get to see the truth, pull the curtain
back a little bit.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
President Trump's been.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Great about that as matter of fact, and we see
in the transparency here. So, Caitlin, what we're doing today.
We're here with multiple media outlets, radio stations, podcasters, great.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Guys, great folks.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
We had a little bit of a like family reunion
behind the scenes here, But you guys are doing this
over the next few days, and it's part of the
transparency of laying out. Here's what we've been doing over
the last one hundred days.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, and I think we've opened up the doors to
the White House in a way that other people have
only ever dreamed of. Right. Not only is Caroline doing
a great job of working new media outlets into the
briefing room. You know, you see folks like Real America's Voice,
O and n Daily Wire, Daily Caller, they all have
a presence in the briefing room. But we're also rotating
in these influencers, these folks with followings that are a
(03:25):
little untraditional. And then we've done these events. I mean,
just two months ago we had a local media row
in the Rose Garden, which I don't think has ever
been done before. There was a cabinet meeting and we
just grabbed a couple of cabinet members like, hey, there's
some cool cameras here, let's go talk about some achievements.
And we've completely and totally subverted legacy media in a
(03:46):
way that I think truly scares them, but hopefully it
influences their coverage and it influences their desire to report
the facts in a very positive light. And so far,
I think, so far it's been really great. I mean,
we're going to rotate folks in here are daily through
the one hundredth day on April twenty ninth, and how
many we end up rotating through will be truly staggering.
(04:08):
I'm looking forward to following up with all of you
on that.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
You know, it is something we walked through.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Through the gates and past the green tents out there
where people if you're watching TV you see the fake news,
you see them all out there, you know, doing their
shots lined up, and it was kind of interesting.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
We got a chance to wave to a few people.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
But you know, the access you guys have given us
is really unparalleled, and to your point.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Hopefully that does shake some of them up a little bit.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Well, And I think it's about time No One views media,
No One and Jess media the way that they did,
you know, not even ten years ago now, right since
the last time we were here. I was a day
one guy last time, and the thought of bringing influencers
in to do briefings with cabinet officials would have been
almost laughable, right, But I think we found.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
A really good job.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
We've done a really good job of thread the needle,
finding serious folks who are doing serious independent journalism and
getting them plugged in. It's just a sign of the times,
and it's reflected in everything that we do externally here,
whether it's on our digital platforms, whether it's how we
pitch stories or how we go about throwing events or
doing things like that. We are not beholden to tradition
(05:24):
in any way, shape or form, and we're going to
continue to innovate so that way we're communicating, we're meeting
people where they are, right. I think that's ultimately the
biggest difference between us and the previous occupants of this
White House. They wanted you to come to them, We're
going to you because I think you deserve to know
everything that we're doing. We're doing incredible things on half
of the American people. You deserve to know that. You
(05:46):
shouldn't have to co opt the call like twelve people
to get an interview or something like that. Right, you
just show up here, We'll let you it. Now, that's
not a go ahead for people to just show up
here and expect interviews. But I mean, you get the principle, right,
It's truly the doors are wide open for everybody.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Let's talk jobs in Michigan. One of the things we're
watching right now is.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Really really an economic there's a and I know we've
heard Secretary Descent talk about like the different prongs what's
under play. And we're watching Tariffs's big, big conversation in
the legacy media right now. A lot of fear mongering
going on. But back in Michigan, you know a lot
of the auto workers, a lot of the folks here
see this is a very big deal. In fact, you know,
(06:30):
Sean Faine, President uaw no big fan of President serump before.
Now he's singing his praises in these auto workers. Folks
in manufacturing understand that we got to make things in
America again and we like to see that happen in
Michigan too well.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
And I think the people that you're speaking about are
the people that this movement really truly embodies. Right, We're
doing this for.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Them at the end of the day.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
And if this is a very principal economic decision that
had been made one you know, one hundred years ago,
sixty years ago, twenty years ago, we've been a lot
better place, uh, just as a country and our economy
would you know, be absolutely just through the roof. I
mean it was the last time we were here. But
you get what I'm saying, And you know, I want
to I want to take a step back away from
(07:14):
things like tariffs and take a look at what's next, right,
And the President has been very very transparent about what
we're expecting Congress to do over the next coming months,
and that is, you know, pass overhauls to our tax agenda,
right right, like permanently put together these this tax cuts
and jobs that continue those no tax on tips, no
tax on overtime, you know, things like that. I think
(07:37):
it's very important. You know, we understand as as people
go out there and there's this fear mongering, we realize
that this is just one piece of the puzzle. Uh,
and that you know, economic prosperity is just you know,
a few months away. And honestly, and this is something
that I like to bring up a lot. The agenda
is to allow everyone the free them to go out
(08:00):
and pursue their version of the American dream. Right, And
for four years that was dead in the gutter. You know,
you put a gun to my head. I couldn't tell
you what the American dream was for four years there.
But I think we all are aware that it's within
grasps with President Trump in office, and you know, we're
excited to see where things go.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
It's an exciting time.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
You can feel that energy in the air and lots
of folks excited here talking about those those big projects,
the big things that are underway. What you know, I
know you also want to hear from from the American people.
What what are the ways that people can reach out
that they can make their voices heard. On the campaign trail,
I can just imagine there were so many times and
(08:41):
you know, President Trump goes to the rallies, talks to
the people. I know that's still important to him.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Yeah, I know, we love hearing from folks, and so
we were very transparent about receiving feedback as well. So
we actually are doing some things I don't think a
lot of people are talking about. But you know, there's
a pretty pretty aggresive Techee community. You can actually sign
up to receive updates from us, and people respond to those.
We actually receive, you know, those responses and comb through
(09:07):
them so that way we know what's important to communicate
on digital platforms of the bare minimum right. And I
think we were incorporating a lot of feedback. The American
people spoke very loudly in November they wanted this right.
And what I like to say is that this has
been one of the easiest jobs I've ever had in
that the President he basically put together a honeydew list,
(09:28):
you know, going into November, and we just wake up
every day and check a box. You know, oh, secure
the border ways we've never seen before. Yeah, no, done already,
you know what I mean. And we're just going down
the line and knocking things out. And I think I
like to think we're giving everyone that they've everything that
they voted for and then some uh, and you know,
we're looking forward to to getting all that feedback and
(09:50):
continue to drive that home.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Deputy Communications Director here at the White House, Kaalin Door,
thank you so much for taking the time.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Be here with us today. Always appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Now, thank you for coming, and we'll have you back
here for the next one hundred days or maybe even
sooner do some fun stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
So we appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Fantastic looking forward to it. We're back with more live
from the White House. Don't go anywhere. This is what radio.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Here are your headlines from the Midwesterner this Wednesday, April
twenty third. I'm Robin Hoffman. It's a Midwesterner Dot News
original story. Stalantis pausing production at two Detroit facilities as
Michigan job losses continue this month, Stalantis will stop production
and it's Mac and Jefferson North Plants in Detroit starting
next week. In addition to the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Stalantis
(10:39):
produces Dodge Durango SUVs at these two facilities, and both
models have had slow first quarter sales. In twenty twenty five.
It's another Midwesterner Dot News original story. State Senator Lindsay
introducing bills to cut soft drinks from snap Benefits, band
dies and harmful ingredients in food served at Michigan schools.
(11:00):
Lawmakers in both chambers of the Michigan Legislature busy promoting
legislation to make America healthy again. In other news, Vice
President JD. Vance, his wife and their children continuing their
trip to India. Here's the Vice President.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
A great time as dogmahol.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
For these stories and more, visit The Midwesterner at the
Midwesterner dot news.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
The broadcast continues live from the swamp coming out next year.
Here from Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Christine Olmes.
She's got big, big news to talk about. In fact, yes,
we'll find out what happened to that purse.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
That was stolen. We get the latest update on that.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
But also, and probably even more importantly, we want to
talk about what's happening with the border. We want to
talk about what's happening with securing that border, and of
course so many other things, terrorism of the things that
they're fighting, everything else.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
That she's a at FEMA.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Major transformation happening in FEMA right now, just ask the
folks in North Canli. We'll talk more about that after
our bottom of the hour news. We're back after this
West Michigan Live continues next on news Radio Wood thirteen
hundred and one oh six nine FM. Justin Barclay back
live on West Michigan Live Live from the White House
(12:20):
today and here with Secretary of Homeland Security Secretary Christino.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Good morning. Thank you Justin for inviting me to be
with you.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Fantastic we you know, we were just joking, kind of
talking about how things are moving at such a fast pace.
But that's really the way this administration. Ron's President Trump
hits the ground running. You guys start locking into place,
and we're seeing really a feverish pace of great things happening.
We were talking about the deportations, we're talking about making
America safe again.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
And by the way, just that border, I mean, an
incredible feat.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Yeah, it was interesting. As soon as President Trump nominated
me to be the Homeland Security Secretary, he said, listen,
I want the border closed on day one. You wanted
it to be a game changer. And so we started
work even before I was sworn in, on putting the
operations in place so that we could have strong leadership
but also start enforcing the law. And we have seen
the February and March, we've broken the record in the
(13:15):
nation's history for the lowest encounters at the border. So
it's ninety nine percent under operational control, which they tell
me to never say one hundred percent because you might
always have one incident. But it's amazing what a guy
in the White House that loves this country, what he
can do in a short period of time to really
change the whole situation.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I guess we didn't need a new law. I guess
we just needed a new president.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
He was exactly right when he said that in his
State of the Union speech. We just needed a new president.
And now when people break our law, there's consequences, and
they recognize that. And as we're seeing people get deported
that are the worst of the worst, the criminals, the terrorists,
people that are here illegally are self deporting, they recognize
that we've been communicating pretty aggressive that Listen, you have
(14:01):
the opportunity to go home on your own, and then
you have a chance to come back if you want
to be in America, come back. We'll speed it up.
We'll get you guys up to become US citizens in
a faster manner. But we also need you to go
home because you broke the law. So President Trump recognizes
that we got to go after these criminals that are
terrorizing our communities and then encourage people that listen, You
(14:24):
don't get to jump the line. There's laws and there's
consequences for them.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Do it the right way.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And as you mentioned, I think so many people look
in Grand Rapids, we had a Citus situation, and throughout
the state the country, there's another story that fits this
unfortunately same scenario we had Ruby Garcia and Grand Rapids,
and Rachel Marin's mother was here the other day at
(14:50):
the same time that we've got people flying to El
Salvador to visit MS thirteen gang members. We couldn't live
in a more upside down world at times.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
No, that's true, and that's what I think shows us
that evil still lives. The fact that people will defend
individuals that have been out there perpetuating violence, and that
we've got people fighting for individuals that have murdered and
raped and robbed people and been members of terrorist organizations
that don't love America. You know, this individual in El
(15:22):
Salvador is a known MS thirteen gang member. Two courts
decided that local law enforcement officials decided it he was
suspected of human trafficking as well on top of that,
and when he was encountered by law enforcement surrounded by
MS thirteen gang members. So every one of these deportations
that were undertaking, we build cases on information and facts,
(15:43):
and what the liberal press and the fake news has
done to try to turn him into something that he's
not is a shamed to the United States of America
and to the people that live here, those poor mothers
and families that live without their children. Just their minds
are blown that there can be people defend the kind
of criminals that took their children's lives.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
You know, I watch these things, and I think we
all see it. On this day and age, we see
a lot of truth coming out and forms of memes
and things that people say on So one of the
things that hit this last week.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
And I think hit particularly hardest.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I haven't seen any Democrats go to try to get
hostages released from AMAS, and yet we're seeing it here.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
It's just, yeah, I'm not certain it's got to be
just a hatred for President Trump. It has to be
because what hamas perpetuators of violence do is exactly the
same is what TDA and MS thirteen do they swear
the same allegiance and affiliations. They conduct criminal activities and
(16:47):
kill people and rape and murder them and plan big operations.
It's exactly the same thing. That's why the President recognized
that they are foreign terrorist organizations. And so that is
a terrible thing to see happen in those country. That
we have people that muddy the waters on those kind
of facts.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Well, you know, we understand your hard at work and
folks are doing everything, and it's wild to see the
contrast and how quickly things have changed.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
What about the courts, I know we're starting to see that.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
You know, apparently district court judges can run the country now,
or at least they think they can. This is not
just frustrating, I'm sure to the administration, but to the
American people as well.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
It's more than that. What we're seeing happening.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Is and I'll let you talk about this, but it's
a deliberate act to stop the administration from getting things
done that the American people elected you to do.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
Yeah, and President Trump recognized that this would be a
tactic that they would try to employ as soon as
he was sworn into office. I mean that man went
through hell the last several years in court with activists
from the bench and prosecute and das that went after him,
And so he was prepared that everything he would do,
somebody would oppose him and they would try to use
the courts to do it. So, even before he took office,
(18:11):
his team and I was working with them as well
on recognizing that whatever action we took, we'd get legal
challenges too, that we would exercise all of the authorities
that are granted him by the Constitution, and that if
they tie us up in court on one, well, then
we've got five other authorities that we're going to use.
So we wouldn't let one radical judge in a district
court or one bad decision happened that would stop us
(18:34):
from doing what was right. The executive branch has incredible
constitutional power that this President will use to protect the
American people. So even though we're getting challenged, we're still working.
Even though judges are trying to stop us from getting
the worst of the worst out of this country, we're
still every day going after these criminals in their communities
and taking them and deporting them out of the country
(18:56):
and taking them to their home countries. They have broken
the law not only by being in this country illegally,
but by overstaying their orders, having final removal orders, and
then also committing crimes, and many of them committing crimes
in their home countries. So that's one of the remarkable
things that the Department of State is doing, and Marco
Rubio is doing, is negotiating this with all these other
countries to take these individuals back. He's done fantastic work
(19:19):
and getting us permission to land planes, getting into airspace,
getting us the ability to get travel documents, so that
not only are we getting people out of this country
that are dangerous, but that their home countries are taking
their citizens back.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
What are we focused on wrapping up the first one
hundred days. What's one of the next steps that we're
looking at here, particularly priorities with your department?
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Oh my goodness. Well, the first one hundred days have
been phenomenal. The accomplishments of President Trump are amazing. We've
seen a fentanyl crisis and trafficking drop by over fifty percent.
We've seen crime drop. We've seen over one hundred terrorists
removed from this country, thousands and thousands of known criminals deported.
(20:04):
We've seen hundreds of thousands of people that have been
removed from the country. But beyond that, I also have
the responsibility for FEMA. He has committed to reforming FEMA
and eliminating it and making sure that we have people
locally that are best responding to individuals and the federal
government just backing them up with finances and resources. I
have TSA, so can I can I.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Stop you for just just to say that stories out
of North Carolina, Western North Carolina from the moment that
you all took over, it was just like the border,
night and day.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
The help they started.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Getting, Yeah, absolutely, night and day, and those folks had
nowhere to turn until President Trump showed up. And now
they've got roads, they've got homes. They didn't have heat
or winter clothes, and nobody was responding. And we have
within FEMA some claims that we're seven, eight, nine, ten
years old that were approved that were never paid out
to people that relied on that kind of federal assistance.
(20:56):
So we shouldn't promise something we don't follow through on.
We also have USCIS, so that's Citizenship and Immigration Services
making sure that we're hurrying up on working the processes
of people who want to come here legally. I have SISA,
which is responsible for cybersecurity, making sure that we don't
have bad actors victimizing our infrastructure like our water plants,
(21:18):
our electrical grid. We all heard about Salt Typhoon, which
was the big hacking of our telecoms that released all
people's private data. I tell folks, I've got everything from
people that are in this country that come in this country,
leave this country or live here, products that come into
our country or leave our country, and everything on the
Internet that's communicated or said or transpired on the internet.
(21:41):
We have the US Coast Guard as well. We've repositioned
our fleet to be more focused in the areas that
are our biggest threats, like around the border and our
maritime barriers to interdict our drugs. So the repurposing and
focus this president has given us is empowering us to
keep the American people safe but also to help us thrive.
And that's what I think is so powerful about what
he's done.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
We know that well.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
And you mentioned finanel is one of the issues in Michigan,
our northern border that even bigger concern a lot of
times than with the southern border, and we've seen we've
seen those busts of fentanyl and things like that happening.
So we are we're excited to see what's coming in
the next one hundre day. So I've got to ask
you before you go, well, I got to make sure
(22:23):
you got your purse.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
And he hated it.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
I did not. I did get my purse stolen.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
This what happened.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
This is such a and I mean forgive me, but
like such a horrible story that something like this would happen.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Yeah, really, it really was just because you know, we
were just out to Easter dinner with our family and
it was sitting right at my feet and there's an
investigation ongoing. But the guy literally was a professional. He
hooked it with his foot and drug it a few
steps and dropped his coat over it. And but just
that's that's what you realize, is how professional these thieves are,
(22:58):
and that people have had to be living in communities
where this happens all the time. And it reaffirms again
in a very personal way, the work I have to
do every day to help people never have to live
in neighborhoods where they have to worry about this, where
they have to worry about people that are going to
victimize them and take advantage of them or hurt their families.
And that's why President Trump is president, is to protect
(23:21):
us and to keep us safe. So you know, for me,
my whole families fine and safe. But it was eye
opening as to the professionalism of these thieves and what
they can accomplish, and how vulnerable people are when they're
just enjoying time with their families.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Well, and to your point, if it can happen to
somebody like you, it can happen to any one of us.
It underscores the mission of making America safe again. And
we appreciate everything you're doing well.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
Thank you so much for all that you do. And
I would just encourage everybody to keep listening to folks
like you that tell the truth. There's a lot of
big national media fake news out there, and so anybody
who's willing to be accountable to what they say and
what they talk about and put out the facts is
very valuable and important right now to our future.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Thank you so much, Secretary. Now, we appreciate you.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Thank you great.
Speaker 5 (24:15):

Live from Hyatad Monroe Center in downtown Grand Rapids. We're
talking about what matters most to you when West Michigan
joining a conversation now at six one six seven seven four,
twenty four to twenty four. At six one, six seven
seven four twenty four to twenty four, it's West Michigan
Live with Justin Barklay on Wood Radio Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Welcome in live from the Swamp. We continue our coverage
as we lead up to the first one hundred days
here during President Trump's administration.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
We have lots to talk about today.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
In fact, we've got great interviews conversations taking place right
inside the White House complex there the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
We're part of the folks on Radio Row. Something special
this administration is doing with the first one hundred days
(00:59):
and transparency to make sure that folks know what's going
on inside.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
The White House and this administration.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Now, you voted, you voted for President Trump, and you asked,
you demanded that the promise he's made on the campaign
trail be fulfilled. And we're already starting to see that
in big ways, in big numbers.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
You're going to hear f folks inside the administration today.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
In fact, Secretary of the Argument of Homeland Security, Christy
nom will join.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Us a little bit later on the program.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
We're going to find out what happened to the purse,
I promise you that, but also more importantly, what's been
happening in the last one hundred days and what is
coming ahead. The conversations are big today and speaking which
no Big three, so we'll.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Skip that and get right on inside.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
In with us right now is Kalindor, the Deputy Communication Director.
And I just found out this is this is some
good Michigan talk. Responsible for the photo?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Am I allowed to say this?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Or no?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Can I?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I'm not solely responsible for the photo. I think the
photo of your beloved governor speaks for itself. I mean,
I would never advise a client or a coworker of
mine to go into the Oval office and act a
fool like that.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
But she's fully responsible.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
It sounds like she can't really help it. But no,
we made sure that that got out there. That was
a very interesting photo. I'm glad that American people got
to see it. And I'm sure you know she's never
shied away from the attention, so I'm sure she is
loving it. In her own way.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Right. We love shining the spotlight on things like that
because we get to see the truth, pull the curtain
back a little bit.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
President Trump's been.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Great about that as matter of fact, and we see
in the transparency here. So, Caitlin, what we're doing today.
We're here with multiple media outlets, radio stations, podcasters, great.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Guys, great folks.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
We had a little bit of a like family reunion
behind the scenes here, But you guys are doing this
over the next few days, and it's part of the
transparency of laying out. Here's what we've been doing over
the last one hundred days.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, and I think we've opened up the doors to
the White House in a way that other people have
only ever dreamed of. Right. Not only is Caroline doing
a great job of working new media outlets into the
briefing room. You know, you see folks like Real America's Voice,
O and n Daily Wire, Daily Caller, they all have
a presence in the briefing room. But we're also rotating
in these influencers, these folks with followings that are a
(03:25):
little untraditional. And then we've done these events. I mean,
just two months ago we had a local media row
in the Rose Garden, which I don't think has ever
been done before. There was a cabinet meeting and we
just grabbed a couple of cabinet members like, hey, there's
some cool cameras here, let's go talk about some achievements.
And we've completely and totally subverted legacy media in a
(03:46):
way that I think truly scares them, but hopefully it
influences their coverage and it influences their desire to report
the facts in a very positive light. And so far,
I think, so far it's been really great. I mean,
we're going to rotate folks in here are daily through
the one hundredth day on April twenty ninth, and how
many we end up rotating through will be truly staggering.
(04:08):
I'm looking forward to following up with all of you
on that.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
You know, it is something we walked through.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Through the gates and past the green tents out there
where people if you're watching TV you see the fake news,
you see them all out there, you know, doing their
shots lined up, and it was kind of interesting.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
We got a chance to wave to a few people.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
But you know, the access you guys have given us
is really unparalleled, and to your point.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Hopefully that does shake some of them up a little bit.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Well, And I think it's about time No One views media,
No One and Jess media the way that they did,
you know, not even ten years ago now, right since
the last time we were here. I was a day
one guy last time, and the thought of bringing influencers
in to do briefings with cabinet officials would have been
almost laughable, right, But I think we found.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
A really good job.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
We've done a really good job of thread the needle,
finding serious folks who are doing serious independent journalism and
getting them plugged in. It's just a sign of the times,
and it's reflected in everything that we do externally here,
whether it's on our digital platforms, whether it's how we
pitch stories or how we go about throwing events or
doing things like that. We are not beholden to tradition
(05:24):
in any way, shape or form, and we're going to
continue to innovate so that way we're communicating, we're meeting
people where they are, right. I think that's ultimately the
biggest difference between us and the previous occupants of this
White House. They wanted you to come to them, We're
going to you because I think you deserve to know
everything that we're doing. We're doing incredible things on half
of the American people. You deserve to know that. You
(05:46):
shouldn't have to co opt the call like twelve people
to get an interview or something like that. Right, you
just show up here, We'll let you it. Now, that's
not a go ahead for people to just show up
here and expect interviews. But I mean, you get the principle, right,
It's truly the doors are wide open for everybody.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Let's talk jobs in Michigan. One of the things we're
watching right now is.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Really really an economic there's a and I know we've
heard Secretary Descent talk about like the different prongs what's
under play. And we're watching Tariffs's big, big conversation in
the legacy media right now. A lot of fear mongering
going on. But back in Michigan, you know a lot
of the auto workers, a lot of the folks here
see this is a very big deal. In fact, you know,
(06:30):
Sean Faine, President uaw no big fan of President serump before.
Now he's singing his praises in these auto workers. Folks
in manufacturing understand that we got to make things in
America again and we like to see that happen in
Michigan too well.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
And I think the people that you're speaking about are
the people that this movement really truly embodies. Right, We're
doing this for.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Them at the end of the day.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
And if this is a very principal economic decision that
had been made one you know, one hundred years ago,
sixty years ago, twenty years ago, we've been a lot
better place, uh, just as a country and our economy
would you know, be absolutely just through the roof. I
mean it was the last time we were here. But
you get what I'm saying, And you know, I want
to I want to take a step back away from
(07:14):
things like tariffs and take a look at what's next, right,
And the President has been very very transparent about what
we're expecting Congress to do over the next coming months,
and that is, you know, pass overhauls to our tax agenda,
right right, like permanently put together these this tax cuts
and jobs that continue those no tax on tips, no
tax on overtime, you know, things like that. I think
(07:37):
it's very important. You know, we understand as as people
go out there and there's this fear mongering, we realize
that this is just one piece of the puzzle. Uh,
and that you know, economic prosperity is just you know,
a few months away. And honestly, and this is something
that I like to bring up a lot. The agenda
is to allow everyone the free them to go out
(08:00):
and pursue their version of the American dream. Right, And
for four years that was dead in the gutter. You know,
you put a gun to my head. I couldn't tell
you what the American dream was for four years there.
But I think we all are aware that it's within
grasps with President Trump in office, and you know, we're
excited to see where things go.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
It's an exciting time.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
You can feel that energy in the air and lots
of folks excited here talking about those those big projects,
the big things that are underway. What you know, I
know you also want to hear from from the American people.
What what are the ways that people can reach out
that they can make their voices heard. On the campaign trail,
I can just imagine there were so many times and
(08:41):
you know, President Trump goes to the rallies, talks to
the people. I know that's still important to him.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Yeah, I know, we love hearing from folks, and so
we were very transparent about receiving feedback as well. So
we actually are doing some things I don't think a
lot of people are talking about. But you know, there's
a pretty pretty aggresive Techee community. You can actually sign
up to receive updates from us, and people respond to those.
We actually receive, you know, those responses and comb through
(09:07):
them so that way we know what's important to communicate
on digital platforms of the bare minimum right. And I
think we were incorporating a lot of feedback. The American
people spoke very loudly in November they wanted this right.
And what I like to say is that this has
been one of the easiest jobs I've ever had in
that the President he basically put together a honeydew list,
(09:28):
you know, going into November, and we just wake up
every day and check a box. You know, oh, secure
the border ways we've never seen before. Yeah, no, done already,
you know what I mean. And we're just going down
the line and knocking things out. And I think I
like to think we're giving everyone that they've everything that
they voted for and then some uh, and you know,
we're looking forward to to getting all that feedback and
(09:50):
continue to drive that home.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Deputy Communications Director here at the White House, Kaalin Door,
thank you so much for taking the time.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Be here with us today. Always appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Now, thank you for coming, and we'll have you back
here for the next one hundred days or maybe even
sooner do some fun stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
So we appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Fantastic looking forward to it. We're back with more live
from the White House. Don't go anywhere. This is what radio.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Here are your headlines from the Midwesterner this Wednesday, April
twenty third. I'm Robin Hoffman. It's a Midwesterner Dot News
original story. Stalantis pausing production at two Detroit facilities as
Michigan job losses continue this month, Stalantis will stop production
and it's Mac and Jefferson North Plants in Detroit starting
next week. In addition to the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Stalantis
(10:39):
produces Dodge Durango SUVs at these two facilities, and both
models have had slow first quarter sales. In twenty twenty five.
It's another Midwesterner Dot News original story. State Senator Lindsay
introducing bills to cut soft drinks from snap Benefits, band
dies and harmful ingredients in food served at Michigan schools.
(11:00):
Lawmakers in both chambers of the Michigan Legislature busy promoting
legislation to make America healthy again. In other news, Vice
President JD. Vance, his wife and their children continuing their
trip to India. Here's the Vice President.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
A great time as dogmahol.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
For these stories and more, visit The Midwesterner at the
Midwesterner dot news.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
The broadcast continues live from the swamp coming out next year.
Here from Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Christine Olmes.
She's got big, big news to talk about. In fact, yes,
we'll find out what happened to that purse.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
That was stolen. We get the latest update on that.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
But also, and probably even more importantly, we want to
talk about what's happening with the border. We want to
talk about what's happening with securing that border, and of
course so many other things, terrorism of the things that
they're fighting, everything else.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
That she's a at FEMA.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Major transformation happening in FEMA right now, just ask the
folks in North Canli. We'll talk more about that after
our bottom of the hour news. We're back after this
West Michigan Live continues next on news Radio Wood thirteen
hundred and one oh six nine FM. Justin Barclay back
live on West Michigan Live Live from the White House
(12:20):
today and here with Secretary of Homeland Security Secretary Christino.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Good morning. Thank you Justin for inviting me to be
with you.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Fantastic we you know, we were just joking, kind of
talking about how things are moving at such a fast pace.
But that's really the way this administration. Ron's President Trump
hits the ground running. You guys start locking into place,
and we're seeing really a feverish pace of great things happening.
We were talking about the deportations, we're talking about making
America safe again.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
And by the way, just that border, I mean, an
incredible feat.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Yeah, it was interesting. As soon as President Trump nominated
me to be the Homeland Security Secretary, he said, listen,
I want the border closed on day one. You wanted
it to be a game changer. And so we started
work even before I was sworn in, on putting the
operations in place so that we could have strong leadership
but also start enforcing the law. And we have seen
the February and March, we've broken the record in the
(13:15):
nation's history for the lowest encounters at the border. So
it's ninety nine percent under operational control, which they tell
me to never say one hundred percent because you might
always have one incident. But it's amazing what a guy
in the White House that loves this country, what he
can do in a short period of time to really
change the whole situation.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I guess we didn't need a new law. I guess
we just needed a new president.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
He was exactly right when he said that in his
State of the Union speech. We just needed a new president.
And now when people break our law, there's consequences, and
they recognize that. And as we're seeing people get deported
that are the worst of the worst, the criminals, the terrorists,
people that are here illegally are self deporting, they recognize
that we've been communicating pretty aggressive that Listen, you have
(14:01):
the opportunity to go home on your own, and then
you have a chance to come back if you want
to be in America, come back. We'll speed it up.
We'll get you guys up to become US citizens in
a faster manner. But we also need you to go
home because you broke the law. So President Trump recognizes
that we got to go after these criminals that are
terrorizing our communities and then encourage people that listen, You
(14:24):
don't get to jump the line. There's laws and there's
consequences for them.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Do it the right way.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And as you mentioned, I think so many people look
in Grand Rapids, we had a Citus situation, and throughout
the state the country, there's another story that fits this
unfortunately same scenario we had Ruby Garcia and Grand Rapids,
and Rachel Marin's mother was here the other day at
(14:50):
the same time that we've got people flying to El
Salvador to visit MS thirteen gang members. We couldn't live
in a more upside down world at times.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
No, that's true, and that's what I think shows us
that evil still lives. The fact that people will defend
individuals that have been out there perpetuating violence, and that
we've got people fighting for individuals that have murdered and
raped and robbed people and been members of terrorist organizations
that don't love America. You know, this individual in El
(15:22):
Salvador is a known MS thirteen gang member. Two courts
decided that local law enforcement officials decided it he was
suspected of human trafficking as well on top of that,
and when he was encountered by law enforcement surrounded by
MS thirteen gang members. So every one of these deportations
that were undertaking, we build cases on information and facts,
(15:43):
and what the liberal press and the fake news has
done to try to turn him into something that he's
not is a shamed to the United States of America
and to the people that live here, those poor mothers
and families that live without their children. Just their minds
are blown that there can be people defend the kind
of criminals that took their children's lives.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
You know, I watch these things, and I think we
all see it. On this day and age, we see
a lot of truth coming out and forms of memes
and things that people say on So one of the
things that hit this last week.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
And I think hit particularly hardest.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I haven't seen any Democrats go to try to get
hostages released from AMAS, and yet we're seeing it here.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
It's just, yeah, I'm not certain it's got to be
just a hatred for President Trump. It has to be
because what hamas perpetuators of violence do is exactly the
same is what TDA and MS thirteen do they swear
the same allegiance and affiliations. They conduct criminal activities and
(16:47):
kill people and rape and murder them and plan big operations.
It's exactly the same thing. That's why the President recognized
that they are foreign terrorist organizations. And so that is
a terrible thing to see happen in those country. That
we have people that muddy the waters on those kind
of facts.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Well, you know, we understand your hard at work and
folks are doing everything, and it's wild to see the
contrast and how quickly things have changed.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
What about the courts, I know we're starting to see that.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
You know, apparently district court judges can run the country now,
or at least they think they can. This is not
just frustrating, I'm sure to the administration, but to the
American people as well.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
It's more than that. What we're seeing happening.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Is and I'll let you talk about this, but it's
a deliberate act to stop the administration from getting things
done that the American people elected you to do.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
Yeah, and President Trump recognized that this would be a
tactic that they would try to employ as soon as
he was sworn into office. I mean that man went
through hell the last several years in court with activists
from the bench and prosecute and das that went after him,
And so he was prepared that everything he would do,
somebody would oppose him and they would try to use
the courts to do it. So, even before he took office,
(18:11):
his team and I was working with them as well
on recognizing that whatever action we took, we'd get legal
challenges too, that we would exercise all of the authorities
that are granted him by the Constitution, and that if
they tie us up in court on one, well, then
we've got five other authorities that we're going to use.
So we wouldn't let one radical judge in a district
court or one bad decision happened that would stop us
(18:34):
from doing what was right. The executive branch has incredible
constitutional power that this President will use to protect the
American people. So even though we're getting challenged, we're still working.
Even though judges are trying to stop us from getting
the worst of the worst out of this country, we're
still every day going after these criminals in their communities
and taking them and deporting them out of the country
(18:56):
and taking them to their home countries. They have broken
the law not only by being in this country illegally,
but by overstaying their orders, having final removal orders, and
then also committing crimes, and many of them committing crimes
in their home countries. So that's one of the remarkable
things that the Department of State is doing, and Marco
Rubio is doing, is negotiating this with all these other
countries to take these individuals back. He's done fantastic work
(19:19):
and getting us permission to land planes, getting into airspace,
getting us the ability to get travel documents, so that
not only are we getting people out of this country
that are dangerous, but that their home countries are taking
their citizens back.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
What are we focused on wrapping up the first one
hundred days. What's one of the next steps that we're
looking at here, particularly priorities with your department?
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Oh my goodness. Well, the first one hundred days have
been phenomenal. The accomplishments of President Trump are amazing. We've
seen a fentanyl crisis and trafficking drop by over fifty percent.
We've seen crime drop. We've seen over one hundred terrorists
removed from this country, thousands and thousands of known criminals deported.
(20:04):
We've seen hundreds of thousands of people that have been
removed from the country. But beyond that, I also have
the responsibility for FEMA. He has committed to reforming FEMA
and eliminating it and making sure that we have people
locally that are best responding to individuals and the federal
government just backing them up with finances and resources. I
have TSA, so can I can I.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Stop you for just just to say that stories out
of North Carolina, Western North Carolina from the moment that
you all took over, it was just like the border,
night and day.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
The help they started.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Getting, Yeah, absolutely, night and day, and those folks had
nowhere to turn until President Trump showed up. And now
they've got roads, they've got homes. They didn't have heat
or winter clothes, and nobody was responding. And we have
within FEMA some claims that we're seven, eight, nine, ten
years old that were approved that were never paid out
to people that relied on that kind of federal assistance.
(20:56):
So we shouldn't promise something we don't follow through on.
We also have USCIS, so that's Citizenship and Immigration Services
making sure that we're hurrying up on working the processes
of people who want to come here legally. I have SISA,
which is responsible for cybersecurity, making sure that we don't
have bad actors victimizing our infrastructure like our water plants,
(21:18):
our electrical grid. We all heard about Salt Typhoon, which
was the big hacking of our telecoms that released all
people's private data. I tell folks, I've got everything from
people that are in this country that come in this country,
leave this country or live here, products that come into
our country or leave our country, and everything on the
Internet that's communicated or said or transpired on the internet.
(21:41):
We have the US Coast Guard as well. We've repositioned
our fleet to be more focused in the areas that
are our biggest threats, like around the border and our
maritime barriers to interdict our drugs. So the repurposing and
focus this president has given us is empowering us to
keep the American people safe but also to help us thrive.
And that's what I think is so powerful about what
he's done.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
We know that well.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
And you mentioned finanel is one of the issues in Michigan,
our northern border that even bigger concern a lot of
times than with the southern border, and we've seen we've
seen those busts of fentanyl and things like that happening.
So we are we're excited to see what's coming in
the next one hundre day. So I've got to ask
you before you go, well, I got to make sure
(22:23):
you got your purse.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
And he hated it.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
I did not. I did get my purse stolen.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
This what happened.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
This is such a and I mean forgive me, but
like such a horrible story that something like this would happen.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Yeah, really, it really was just because you know, we
were just out to Easter dinner with our family and
it was sitting right at my feet and there's an
investigation ongoing. But the guy literally was a professional. He
hooked it with his foot and drug it a few
steps and dropped his coat over it. And but just
that's that's what you realize, is how professional these thieves are,
(22:58):
and that people have had to be living in communities
where this happens all the time. And it reaffirms again
in a very personal way, the work I have to
do every day to help people never have to live
in neighborhoods where they have to worry about this, where
they have to worry about people that are going to
victimize them and take advantage of them or hurt their families.
And that's why President Trump is president, is to protect
(23:21):
us and to keep us safe. So you know, for me,

we appreciate everything you're doing well.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
Thank you so much for all that you do. And
I would just encourage everybody to keep listening to folks
like you that tell the truth. There's a lot of
big national media fake news out there, and so anybody
who's willing to be accountable to what they say and
what they talk about and put out the facts is
very valuable and important right now to our future.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Thank you so much, Secretary. Now, we appreciate you.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Thank you great.
