(00:47):
everything, but Biden's out. That'sthe big news. Trump here over the
weekend and more. Plus a bigsecret Service hearing said to happen on Capitol
Hill in less than an hour.News, weather, and traffic. I'm
our biggest stories of the day.We're talking about what matters most in West
Michigan and beyond. This is thebig three. I don't see speaks now
(01:14):
with stories that matter most. We'retalking about these around the water cooler,
dinner table, no matter where youare, these are those stories powered by
good friends at Hartlett Home Mortgage HoneyNeither buy Refi, homed, equity,
line of credit or maybe reverse mortgage. They can help in every custom solution

happy they help you get the jobdone. It's official. Biden is out.
(01:38):
He dropped out of the presidential race. It's all over now, well
sort of. I think it's onlyjust begun so far. Biden did endorse
Kamala Harris for president. We've we'vegot that in the stack today, but
a little other fews who have aswell. This is kind of an afterthought.
(02:01):
Actually, you know, the announcementgot made on Twitter slash x the
other day, which is also kindof fascinating, isn't it. I mean,
that's just strange. There's a lotof questions about the note, the
letter that he allegedly wrote and signed. Well, we know he didn't write
(02:22):
it. In fact, there's questionsabout whether he signed it or not.
We'll get into those coming up injust a little bit. And who has
yet to endorse Kamala. This mightgive us everything we need to know about
the questions that we may ask.By the way, there are many calling
In fact, Republican Speaker of theHouse Mike Johnson calling on Biden that stepped
(02:45):
down all together. As president,I can't run, you probably shouldn't be
governing as well, all right.A bomb discovered in Wayne County, that's
the Detroit area, just days beforefor Michigan's President Trump rally. Happened over
the weekend. Thirty one thirty sixyear old arrested for possession of an explosive
(03:07):
device, dangerous drugs and cocaine aswell. All listed the device X ray,
had shrapnel in it, It wasa bomb. Who knows what they
intended it for. Lots of questions, not a lot of answers around this
story. Wish we had more.Maybe we'll hear today. In fact,
maybe we'll hear today in the hearingon Capitol Hill from the Secret Service answers
(03:36):
you have here. This is SecretService Director Kimberly Cheedle being chased through the
RNC yesterday bye or abound the lastweek by senators demanding asking for answers.
She'll be in the hot seat todayon Capitol Hill in front of Congress.
(03:57):
Who knows whether we actually get answersor that maybe you should just be tak
I don't know anything. I wishI did you play in ignorance. I
wish I knew more about what happened. She had to resigned, she had
to step down too. She mayinfect you that today too. We've been
hearing those reports possible as well.Shot want to get to your calls too,
(04:23):
because I know you want to joinin the conversation this morning. Six
one, six seven twenty four.That's the number to dollar sound off the
iHeartRadio app. Just use that buttonthere, that microphone to let it rip.
Let us know what you think.Lots of interesting pieces of the old
(04:46):
puzzle coming together this morning. Howabout this the folks coming out to endorse
Kamala You that aren't. In fact, here's a Democrat representative, black woman,
Jasmine Crockett saying she's not confident atall and Kamala as the choice.
(05:10):
I am not confident at all becauseas it was laid out earlier, I
do know that you know, behindclosed doors, while I won't name names,
that there were people that were absolutelylike, it can't be the vice
president. So in one breath theywere saying, you know, the president
needs to be out. In thenext breath, they were also saying it
can't be her. That's well,that's an interesting piece of the puzzle.
(05:31):
I wonder who it can be.I wonder who it maybe lots of names.
You know, there's an op edlast week about Hillary Clinton. There's
a guy people pointing to that beingwhich she's gonna be the one. It's
got to be Hillary. And there'sa few other people that I respect like
that out there saying that as well. But there's a guy who's written a
book. In fact, we're goingto talk to the day. I'll do
(05:54):
an interviewer podcast. We set thisup last week. Isn't the timing interesting?
He thinks it's Michelle Obama as he'salways been her, and he lays
out it really fascinating history of MichelleObama and why he thinks this is happening.
But now I would just say,if that's the case, that sort
of thought process which leads you tobelieve it's very possible. Given the fact
(06:20):
that the Obamas have yet to comeout endorse fact their message, their statement
on all of this, I thinkspeaks volumes. Listen to this night,
the message from President Biden and thosearound him was, quote, all systems
go and campaign full speed ahead.Then at around one forty five pm,
he notified senior team members that hehad changed his mind. Let's get to
(06:45):
what might have changed his mind.Bread but also this statement from Barack and
Michelle Obama which does not listen tothe doors Kamala Harris, Bill Clinton,
Hillary Clinton have come out to endorseher. President Biden endorsed her. But
here's what the bomb has said.We will be navigating uncharted waters in the
days ahead. Oh that I haveextraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party
(07:06):
will be able to create a processfrom which an outstanding nominee emerges. Oh
so Phil b in a nominee emerging. In other words, it's not the
one that's out there right now,so she ate, But one isn't that
something? Is it? Dan?To hear that bus here? The sound?
(07:30):
That sound? It's the sound ofthe bus. The same bus that
just was just used to throw Bidenunder. That same bus is backing up,
coming around for Kamala next time.That's what this is. She's out
there working the phones, trying toget all the money sent over and of
(07:50):
course reassured donors. There's a lotof chaos still yet behind the scenes,
and the Democrat Party. Folks,this is what you have to realize.
I don't think we see nothing yet. I think that's it. We ain't
seen nothing yet. I think that'sthe point. I mean, you need
to understand we're far this is farfrom over. That's that's the main point
(08:11):
I would make to you more thananything else, all of this far from
over. And boy, it's it'sabout to get exciting. I can tell
you that much. God, Igot exciting. You enjoy the phone lines
and jump in a conversation with usnow called Justin Now at six one six
seven seven four twenty four twenty four. That's six one six seven seven four
twenty four to twenty four, WestMichigan Live with Justin Barclay on news Radio
(08:35):
Wood thirteen hundred and one oh sixnine A f Ah. James Dixon joins
us now. Author. He's awriter the New York Post, Gotta Do
podcast out former and former Detroit newis great guy. He writes on nine
now, Twitter, X down Iseventy five and he's all over this.
We recorded a podcast last week.We went through some of these things that
(08:58):
were possibly on the horizon. You'renot gonna want to miss it and he
weighs us ways always watches through itall coming out. Hey back at it,
and of course the conversation continues,it rolls out. If you want
to join it any time, youcan. Lots of folks jumping on the
phone six one six seven seven fourtwenty four, twenty four. There's a
(09:22):
podcast post you right now. WeEnjoyer Michigan, Enjoyer the website and a
good friend Enjoyer dot com James Dixonin this podcast. And we had a
chat last week about a couple ofdifferent things that could be coming and whether
(09:46):
Whitmer might be somebody who was partof the Plan B team. It's Gavin
Newsom or who am I? Wewe we actually went all over the board
on this, but uh we wethink we had a really good conversation a
number of different levels. And Iactually got a chance to talk to him
a little bit about that this morningon the Detroit Morning Show, justin thank
you so much for taking the time. I really appreciate the opportunity. You
(10:09):
know, a lot of this veryinteresting. President Trump makes the point interviewed
by Jesse Watris about who it mightbe because I still think, you know,
even though we're hearing Kamala today thateverything is like a test run with
the Democrats. You and I havetalked about why they really kind of stuck
(10:30):
with her and why they must doeverything at least in their power to make
this work. And who knows wherethis essentially goes. I don't know that
we can any of us can knowfor sure. But there are a lot
of other names that are being floatedout there and around it in President Trump
mentions, Look, it doesn't matter. This may be the biggest point that
(10:50):
people need to latch onto. Itdoesn't matter who they throw in there.
The policies are the problem. TheDemocrat have problem policies that will destroy this
country and have done so thus far. And look, we can't just blame
that on the fact that Biden appearsto have been asleep at the helm.
(11:11):
He's got a whole host of peoplewho've been running the show behind the scenes
and running the country right into theground. And who do you think is
going to step right in, nomatter who is on the face and on
the front of that ticket, youknow, And that's the thing, you
know, If Biden is unable todo this, which he appears to be
admitting, I'd like to hear himsay it out of his physical mouth.
(11:33):
I'd like to see him hold upthe newspaper. I'd like to see Joe
Biden blink twice at this point.But if he really is past it and
can't do this one, why can'the stay president? And Two, it
seems to me that Pamala Harris wouldhave had to be in on it.
We all know Joe Biden didn't justget senile on the debate stage. He's
(11:54):
been in his current condition hence he'sbeen president, and even before that,
he ran his basement Biden in thetwenty twenty campaign. Joe Biden has never
run a legitimate presidential campaign and he'snever looked like a legitimate president. And
so if Biden was not running thecountry for the last four years, Aamala
(12:15):
Harris probably once. So it seemslike you've just traded one set of problems
for the other. So with Harrisyou have two problems. One she was
running Team Biden as they ran Americainto the ground. And two, who
knew what when if Joe Biden wasunable to do this, trotting him out
there with Alexa Putin and Jijinping watchingthreatened America's national security every day. Joe
(12:41):
Biden was president and remains president.Yeahs a hoax. Yeah, year's long
hoax. Kamala Harris was in onit, absolutely great. They were all
in on it. That includes themedia, that includes all these Hollywood big
donors and all the rest of them. They've all known they're all going to
act like all of a sudden,now they don't. But you know,
again, they never expected Trump tosurvive. And what I mean by that
(13:03):
when I say it over and overagain, they never expected him to survive
the Russia hoaxed, both impeachments.They never expected him to survive any of
this law fair. And when hesurvived last Saturday failed assassination attempt, they
were stuck. They have no there'snowhere for them to go. Then he
comes out with an RNC a conventionthat blows the doors off of none of
(13:24):
that was supposed to happen, andit blows the doors off anything else it's
ever been done before. And theAmerican people get a fresh look at what
that he wants to do and whatthe party looks like now, and boy,
I'll tell you it's turned some heads. They had no choice. The
money was drying up and all therest of it. They've been planning some
of this behind the scenes for awhile, but this was their time to
(13:48):
move. If a Vey Grahama Swamisays this, we're not running against a
candidate, We're running against a system, and that really encapsulates what you just
made that appointment. You know,it's funny because the left, whenever you
hear the word systemic, they're usuallytalking about some type of unfairness between groups
(14:11):
of people. But the Left haspresented us a systemic problem. You know,
Let's take them at their word thatthey do believe blue no matter who,
and they would elect a robot andthey would elect the corps as president.
So basically they're telling you they don'tcare about America. They're also telling
you they don't they only care aboutpower. And then that, you know,
(14:31):
so that leads us to examine,Okay, you want power, a
lot of politicians do what did youdo with the power? And at every
turn, whether it's closing down theKeystone Pipeline, whether it's opening up the
border between America and Mexico, atevery turn, at every policy decision,
(14:52):
the decisions were made such that Americawould be weakened and destabilized. So regardless,
so which Democrat you elect is someonewho probably doesn't believe in America and
does not want to see us asthe strongest country on Earth. They think
we should be brought down a peg. They think there should be equity between
(15:13):
countries and there shouldn't be one countryso far ahead. And so what's the
best way to achieve equity. Areyou going to bring up the rest of
the world or do you simply lowerAmerica to their level? James Dixon with
us right now down I seventy fiveon Twitter and also the Enjoyer podcast,
which is where you can find him. Our entire conversation. By the way,
(15:41):
Yes, we talked about politics.We talk about Gretchen Whitber, part
of the Plan B team. Wetalk about a little bit about what we
knew I think everyone knew what wesaw happen this weekend was coming. We
get into all of that, butwe also talk about Michigan State, why
it matters, and why we loveit so much. Conversation you're definitely gonna
want to be a part of.And the crab You can get that Enjoyer
(16:03):
dot com slash podcast. We'll putit up in the stack a little bit
later on as well Enjoyer dot comSlash podcast. There's more big breaking news
over the weekend, and I wantto get to that coming up here in
just a bit as well as aPresident Trump was here for the rally.
The vice Pasidental Chulaminee candidate jd.Evan's a running mate on the ticket,
(16:26):
Eric de Vanandel, just steps awayfrom where we are broadcasting from right now.
In fact, the whole thing waspacked out. I saw some reports
of some media alwis wanted to saythat there was hardly anybody there with the
whole thing was a capacity. Imean, I never I don't think I've
ever seen that many people inside ofan event like that. I will say
(16:47):
that it was. It was.It was a large, large group of
people, very enthusiastic and u andon fire obviously for the president and for
the visit. But something happened therethat is sending some, of course,
some waves through the state. We'regoing to talk about that in the Senate
race as well, be joined byone of the candidates involved coming up in
(17:10):
this moments. Of course, youcan join the conversation too at any time.
But jumping back on the phone lines. We'll give you a chance to
weigh in on the events of theweekend and more coming up after this.
A growing list of concerns about securityfailures at the event in Transylvania, the
failed assassination attempt on President Trump,and the whistleblawers are coming out of the
(17:32):
woodwork. There's so many of themthey can't possibly silence them all this soon.
There is a hearing set to takeplace today end today Oversight Committee in
the House and they will will definitelyhold her feet to the fire. Kimberly
Cheatlenee Directory Secret Service. I don'tknow how she feels like she could possibly
stay and yet she has not resignedyet. There's no shame anymore in this.
(18:00):
I had a lot of role onthis. We'll we'll be talking about
that coming up. Mike in Wyoming, first up today and the phones.
Mike, appreciate you joining us.How are you man? Justin? I'm
doing just fine, say justin.A couple of things that right out of
the gate when you talked about themball players putting up the fist. That
needs to be our model right now. Fight with the fist. It's gotta
(18:21):
go countrywide, nationwide. We arefighters Justin. We're Americans. We hate,
we don't we don't want to lose. We want to win, and
that's our way. So anyways,what I wanted to talk to you about
is the pick. I'm not thinkingKamala Justin. I'm thinking Hillary Clinton.
She's been landload for a couple ofterms. You know, people are gonna
(18:42):
start forgetting about her crap and uh, she's got a little whit to us
crup that she can be. Nowyou think about that, out of all
of them, who are you gonnapick? Well, the only thing I
can swint thing is for sure,fighting's out and uh, the cat fighter,
I think you're gonna see. Youknow, these all these women involved,
(19:03):
none of them like each other.So it's time to sit back and
enjoy the chow for a while.Jarson. Meanwhile, we have to keep
our foot on the gas and stickwith our game plan. Yeah. I
agree with that, Mike, Thankyou for the call. One thing is
for sure, no matter who itis, it doesn't matter. Essentially,
we're talking about the viag Grahamosami said, But it's this way. You're running
(19:26):
against the system, no matter whoit is, You're running against the failed
policies you're running against the media,You're running against these elites, the donor
class, who really don't care whatyou and I think or want. They
say that they do, they actlike they do, but they don't really
care. And you're running against allof the failed you know, border wide,
(19:48):
open crime, all those issues,every single one of the bidnomics,
all of the failed Democrat policies wouldhave got us to the place we're at
today. So it's not a person, it's a lot bigger and uh and
there's there's even more. In fact, Dan is up next in West Michigan.
Appreciate you, Johnny's Dan, goodmorning, you're a West miskan Live.
(20:11):
Hey, good morning, justin appreciateeverything you do for us books here
in West Michigan, keeping us upto date. My point is this,
it is amazing that the day beforethe director of the President's security is going
to speak the president. Besides,he's not going to run for re election.
(20:33):
I think it's just the puffin' masterspulling the strings, wanting to take
the air out of the story.That's a former president was almost assassinated and
they want to take the focus offof that investigation. Yeah, well,
you know that's a very good pointthen, and the timing it couldn't be
(20:56):
more interesting. You're right, this, this hearing today alone should be and
the event that happened a week priorshould be massive national news. A lot
of it got swept off the frontpage, swept off the news all together.
Today Shrew Fox will cover this,who knows, I'll see an n
or MS Dan Seal will handle it. But you're very you're very right.
(21:18):
These are major, massive failures,and then they're gonna get pushed it awayside,
really because of Biden stepping down.Although here's what I'm gonna tell you.
This is another thing. Don't don'tget me started. I didn't come
down into the bunker with me here. But this letter, he didn't write
it. We now know a guynamed Steve or Kenny on his staff wrote
(21:41):
it. I'm not making this upout of Joe. Joe. Come on,
man, This guy named Steve orKenny wrote the letter. This is
this is out there. He's hemade it to it. Biden didn't even
write the letter. He certainly didn'tpost it on Twitter because even do any
of that, it's some sort ofintern that does that. And now it
(22:04):
looks like he didn't sign it either. It's not his signature. You can't
make this stuff up. There questionon whether or not the guy's even still
live at this point. I hateto say it, but that's what we're
facing. That's what we're looking atthese days. I mean, how crazy
(22:25):
is it. We'll talk more aboutthis during the after sho'll get to the
hearing anymore. Some big news hadhappened here at the rally over the weekend.
Sandy Penciler, running for sidate,stepped out of his race and endorsed
another candidate. So tonight I'm doingthe right thing and ceasing my Senate candidacy.
(22:49):
No, no, it's not inaw it's the right thing. President
Trump endorsed Mike tonight, so amI. So tonight, there you have
(23:15):
it. That's Sandy Penciler saying thathe's getting out and throwing his support behind
Mike Rogers, former congressman and theTrump indoors can't Over the weekend here in
Michigan, a major event, anotherbig one, and of course a big
news coming out of it this weekend. Sandy Penciler with us now to talk
(23:37):
about this and more. Appreciate youtaking the time, sir, grant to
be with you in your audience.We've had some great conversations you and I
the last few months, and youalways make fantastic points, and really appreciate
you being willing to come on andhave those conversations with folks. Let's talk
(24:00):
about this latest the big news,what drove it and why are you making
the decision now? Well, wereally looked out that and we're trying to
look at our pathway. And thepathway was to spend a whole lot with
negative advertising because frankly, Mike wasa head in the polls, he had
(24:26):
been endorsed by the President, andwe had to go really strong out against
him. I didn't really want todo that because I thought it might hurt
his chances. I think he's goingto be the nominee, and there was
a slim path, but I thoughtif it didn't work, it really hurt
his chances. And frankly, mycampaign was never about me. It was
(24:49):
about making America better. And todo that, I really think we've got
to have an opportunity to push througha lot of the president It's agenda,
and to do that we need aRepublican Senate. And I did not want
to be doing something that continued divisiveprimary could hurt those chances, and I
(25:15):
just thought that wasn't okay. Soto do the right thing, I thought
I'd get out of the race andendorse Mike. Think he's going to be
the nominee overwhelmingly. And look,we don't agree on everything, that's pretty
clear, but we agree on thosethings. Then we do agree on pushing
(25:37):
the president's agendas and policies forward,and I think that's the best way to
help America. So that's why Imade that decision. I think it was
the right decision. I think thingsthat happened over the weekend make it even
more likely that the President's going tobe successful. But it's going to be
close here in Michigan. I don'tthink this is going to be a walk
(26:02):
away. It's going to be reallyclose in Michigan. They're going to try
to completely rebrand Kamala Harris, wholooks like she'll likely be the nominee,
and separate her from everything she's doneover the last four years. I don't
think it'll work, but you neverknow. There's just a lot of crazy
stuff that's going on. But that'swhy I did it, and I think
(26:26):
Michael'll make a good senator, andI think he'll support Trump's policies. You
know, we live in a dayand age, as you sort of mentioned
here, where it's hard to knowday after day what's what's coming next.
I mean, it's it does seemin all likelihood that Kamala Harris will be
the nominee for the Democrat Party.But yet, you know, we could
(26:48):
have any number of events in thenext week that could change that. We
just don't know. One thing remainscertain through it all that this is the
most critical election, certainly in mylifetime, maybe as the President has said,
maybe in the history of this country. And I guess that's why all
of this matters so much. Ohboy. I mean, look at what's
(27:17):
happening at the border, and youknow, Kamala was the bizarre to supposedly
fits the border. I think they'regoing to double down on all of THEI
policies instead of having merit and reallydriving equal opportunity. And I really think
(27:40):
that movement towards DEI is incredibly divisiveas well, and it hurts us by
not having just merit. And Ithink we see that in a lot of
positions like secret service that I think. Frankly, it was fairly poign situation
(28:00):
that the cheeta is still saying,well, yeah, Buck stops here,
but she should be resigning. Itwas terrible what went on. If you
look over at that perimeter, youdon't need to be an incredible expert to
see where some of the weaknesses were. And for that shooter to get a
shot from there and carry up.This wasn't a trained foreign seal type officer.
(28:26):
This is a kid. Didn't knowwhat he was doing. Thank goodness,
he was a terrible shot. Wejust we need merits. We need
to get solved these problems. Weneed to stop spending like crazy. Even
today news was out there's one hundredand twenty nine million dollars going to Michigan
(28:47):
for renewable energy projects. Well,it sounds lovely until you realize there's an
effort to make the whole grid renewableand go to don't realize it's more expensive.
It's intermittent energy. It doesn't reallywork. And as you make it
more expensive, who pays for it? All michiganers pay for it. We've
(29:11):
just got this backward policies and hopefullythey'll be stopping in January. So it's
a really big election. And asI said on Saturday, everything comes through
Michigan. The presidency comes through Michigan. It's the key state. It is
deepivotal state, not the only one, but probably more than any other.
(29:32):
The Senate comes through Michigan. Controlof the Senate, control of the House,
and control of the State House.So, boy, there's an opportunity
to make a big difference. Iknow your listeners are informed. Being informed,
isn't enough. Really need to goout and work and make a difference.
There's not a lot of time.It's a little over one hundred days
(29:53):
left to the general election. It'sa big one, you know, reach
out to neighbors, get at tomake a difference. Big election. Sandy
Penciler more in a conversation at thepodcast section at justin Barkley dot Come the
iHeartRadio app wherever you download your podcast, you'll be able to find that conversation.
As Sandy talks about what's next,well he is I on running for
(30:18):
anything else down the road, orwhat he'll do uh to support these candidates
and in this election moving forward,it's the most critical of our lifetime,
that's for sure. And this alot at stake. I beg at it.
In just moments you'll get the latest. The story is a matter most
you know this, Uh, thesignature thing is really picking up, Steve.
(30:42):
But there's other news that just brokeabout Joe Biden. Could we get
an actual resignation from the office ofPresident and that may in fact be on
the table as well. Coming outback after this, we'll tell you why.
After show is going to be jamPactice one of that hearing for the
(31:03):
Secret Service begins in moments. DirectorCheetle in front of Congress today, this
just breaking news. At ten amtoday, Laura Lummer writing that the White
House Chief of Staff, Jeff Sence, is holding a mandatory call for all
White House staff, followed by acall for all political appointees at the Biden
(31:23):
administration at eleven am. We maybe getting close to a full blown resignation,
she writes, from Joe Biden.His medical condition is now terminal from
what sources have said, terminal thatwe've heard some of that talk, some
of that speak lately, and Idon't know, Uh, I got to
(31:45):
want to tell you this. Ifit was a matter of he didn't want
to resign or drop out of therace, if it was a matter of
all that, and and they hadto pressure him and force him, and
it was all about Pelosi applying enoughpressure, which is some of the things
we've heard. It may just beabout applying enough pressure to get him to
(32:09):
step out and resign completely so thatKamala can become prenan Why would why would
that? Why would they want that? Well, if Kamala is president,
then you have history, folks,history being made. You have the first
black female president of the United States. Although there's a question on whether or
(32:34):
not what her actual heritage is.And I don't I don't really care.
I don't think that's important. Theydo, They love it. I think
what's more important is it's Kamal arWhether it's anybody else, you're gonna get
the same policies, you're gonna getthe same results. Unfortunately, over and
over and over again, the Democratsall want the same things. So it's
(32:59):
it's bad news either way. Yousee, it could be Kamala, could
be Whitmer, or it could beNewsome, It could be any number of
people. Doesn't that again, itdoesn't matter. Could be Michelle Obama.
None of this matters. The policiesare still horrific. They're still responsible for
giving us what we've gotten so far. But what the thinking here is what
(33:20):
the strategic or as George W.Bush would say, the strategery, what
the strategery is here is that ifshe becomes president, now she's an incumbent,
and this could go but one ofboth ways, right, you could
get a trial. This is likea free five both trial. Yes,
(33:45):
a free trial of Kamala Harris aspresident and decide whether you like it.
You know, you can cancel itany time, a free trial. Decide
whether you like her as president ornot. And then this upon election day.
So that's that's that's part of athey getting her across the line.
(34:05):
There are a couple of things thathelp in the odds of getting people elected.
And if she could be an incumbentand run as one, that would
really help her. Of course,you know, Biden's never been competent anyway,
So now pulling the plug on himat this moment isn't that hard.
And if there are calls and conversationsgoing on behind the scenes, boy,
that's gotta be. That's gotta beall of that. Note, if it's
(34:29):
a coincidence, I'll tell you thatmuch after show coming up. Actually appreciate

Joe Manchin saying he won't run,He'll call for a Democrat primary. Some
folks coming out at Dorsing Harris thismorning. There's one, there's one that

(00:47):
everything, but Biden's out. That'sthe big news. Trump here over the
weekend and more. Plus a bigsecret Service hearing said to happen on Capitol
Hill in less than an hour.News, weather, and traffic. I'm
our biggest stories of the day.We're talking about what matters most in West
Michigan and beyond. This is thebig three. I don't see speaks now
(01:14):
with stories that matter most. We'retalking about these around the water cooler,
dinner table, no matter where youare, these are those stories powered by

happy they help you get the jobdone. It's official. Biden is out.
(01:38):
He dropped out of the presidential race. It's all over now, well
sort of. I think it's onlyjust begun so far. Biden did endorse
Kamala Harris for president. We've we'vegot that in the stack today, but
a little other fews who have aswell. This is kind of an afterthought.
(02:01):
Actually, you know, the announcementgot made on Twitter slash x the
other day, which is also kindof fascinating, isn't it. I mean,
that's just strange. There's a lotof questions about the note, the
letter that he allegedly wrote and signed. Well, we know he didn't write
(02:22):
it. In fact, there's questionsabout whether he signed it or not.
We'll get into those coming up injust a little bit. And who has
yet to endorse Kamala. This mightgive us everything we need to know about
the questions that we may ask.By the way, there are many calling
In fact, Republican Speaker of theHouse Mike Johnson calling on Biden that stepped
(02:45):
down all together. As president,I can't run, you probably shouldn't be
governing as well, all right.A bomb discovered in Wayne County, that's
the Detroit area, just days beforefor Michigan's President Trump rally. Happened over
the weekend. Thirty one thirty sixyear old arrested for possession of an explosive
(03:07):
device, dangerous drugs and cocaine aswell. All listed the device X ray,
had shrapnel in it, It wasa bomb. Who knows what they
intended it for. Lots of questions, not a lot of answers around this
story. Wish we had more.Maybe we'll hear today. In fact,
maybe we'll hear today in the hearingon Capitol Hill from the Secret Service answers
(03:36):
you have here. This is SecretService Director Kimberly Cheedle being chased through the
RNC yesterday bye or abound the lastweek by senators demanding asking for answers.
She'll be in the hot seat todayon Capitol Hill in front of Congress.
(03:57):
Who knows whether we actually get answersor that maybe you should just be tak
I don't know anything. I wishI did you play in ignorance. I
wish I knew more about what happened. She had to resigned, she had
to step down too. She mayinfect you that today too. We've been
hearing those reports possible as well.Shot want to get to your calls too,
(04:23):
because I know you want to joinin the conversation this morning. Six
one, six seven twenty four.That's the number to dollar sound off the
iHeartRadio app. Just use that buttonthere, that microphone to let it rip.
Let us know what you think.Lots of interesting pieces of the old
(04:46):
puzzle coming together this morning. Howabout this the folks coming out to endorse
Kamala You that aren't. In fact, here's a Democrat representative, black woman,
Jasmine Crockett saying she's not confident atall and Kamala as the choice.
(05:10):
I am not confident at all becauseas it was laid out earlier, I
do know that you know, behindclosed doors, while I won't name names,
that there were people that were absolutelylike, it can't be the vice
president. So in one breath theywere saying, you know, the president
needs to be out. In thenext breath, they were also saying it
can't be her. That's well,that's an interesting piece of the puzzle.
(05:31):
I wonder who it can be.I wonder who it maybe lots of names.
You know, there's an op edlast week about Hillary Clinton. There's
a guy people pointing to that beingwhich she's gonna be the one. It's
got to be Hillary. And there'sa few other people that I respect like
that out there saying that as well. But there's a guy who's written a
book. In fact, we're goingto talk to the day. I'll do
(05:54):
an interviewer podcast. We set thisup last week. Isn't the timing interesting?
He thinks it's Michelle Obama as he'salways been her, and he lays
out it really fascinating history of MichelleObama and why he thinks this is happening.
But now I would just say,if that's the case, that sort
of thought process which leads you tobelieve it's very possible. Given the fact
(06:20):
that the Obamas have yet to comeout endorse fact their message, their statement
on all of this, I thinkspeaks volumes. Listen to this night,
the message from President Biden and thosearound him was, quote, all systems
go and campaign full speed ahead.Then at around one forty five pm,
he notified senior team members that hehad changed his mind. Let's get to
(06:45):
what might have changed his mind.Bread but also this statement from Barack and
Michelle Obama which does not listen tothe doors Kamala Harris, Bill Clinton,
Hillary Clinton have come out to endorseher. President Biden endorsed her. But
here's what the bomb has said.We will be navigating uncharted waters in the
days ahead. Oh that I haveextraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party
(07:06):
will be able to create a processfrom which an outstanding nominee emerges. Oh
so Phil b in a nominee emerging. In other words, it's not the
one that's out there right now,so she ate, But one isn't that
something? Is it? Dan?To hear that bus here? The sound?
(07:30):
That sound? It's the sound ofthe bus. The same bus that
just was just used to throw Bidenunder. That same bus is backing up,
coming around for Kamala next time.That's what this is. She's out
there working the phones, trying toget all the money sent over and of
(07:50):
course reassured donors. There's a lotof chaos still yet behind the scenes,
and the Democrat Party. Folks,this is what you have to realize.
I don't think we see nothing yet. I think that's it. We ain't
seen nothing yet. I think that'sthe point. I mean, you need
to understand we're far this is farfrom over. That's that's the main point
(08:11):
I would make to you more thananything else, all of this far from
over. And boy, it's it'sabout to get exciting. I can tell
you that much. God, Igot exciting. You enjoy the phone lines
and jump in a conversation with usnow called Justin Now at six one six

We recorded a podcast last week.We went through some of these things that
(08:58):
were possibly on the horizon. You'renot gonna want to miss it and he
weighs us ways always watches through itall coming out. Hey back at it,
and of course the conversation continues,it rolls out. If you want
to join it any time, youcan. Lots of folks jumping on the
phone six one six seven seven fourtwenty four, twenty four. There's a
(09:22):
podcast post you right now. WeEnjoyer Michigan, Enjoyer the website and a
good friend Enjoyer dot com James Dixonin this podcast. And we had a
chat last week about a couple ofdifferent things that could be coming and whether
(09:46):
Whitmer might be somebody who was partof the Plan B team. It's Gavin
Newsom or who am I? Wewe we actually went all over the board
on this, but uh we wethink we had a really good conversation a
number of different levels. And Iactually got a chance to talk to him
a little bit about that this morningon the Detroit Morning Show, justin thank
you so much for taking the time. I really appreciate the opportunity. You
(10:09):
know, a lot of this veryinteresting. President Trump makes the point interviewed
by Jesse Watris about who it mightbe because I still think, you know,
even though we're hearing Kamala today thateverything is like a test run with
the Democrats. You and I havetalked about why they really kind of stuck
(10:30):
with her and why they must doeverything at least in their power to make
this work. And who knows wherethis essentially goes. I don't know that
we can any of us can knowfor sure. But there are a lot
of other names that are being floatedout there and around it in President Trump
mentions, Look, it doesn't matter. This may be the biggest point that
(10:50):
people need to latch onto. Itdoesn't matter who they throw in there.
The policies are the problem. TheDemocrat have problem policies that will destroy this
country and have done so thus far. And look, we can't just blame
that on the fact that Biden appearsto have been asleep at the helm.
(11:11):
He's got a whole host of peoplewho've been running the show behind the scenes
and running the country right into theground. And who do you think is
going to step right in, nomatter who is on the face and on
the front of that ticket, youknow, And that's the thing, you
know, If Biden is unable todo this, which he appears to be
admitting, I'd like to hear himsay it out of his physical mouth.
(11:33):
I'd like to see him hold upthe newspaper. I'd like to see Joe
Biden blink twice at this point.But if he really is past it and
can't do this one, why can'the stay president? And Two, it
seems to me that Pamala Harris wouldhave had to be in on it.
We all know Joe Biden didn't justget senile on the debate stage. He's
(11:54):
been in his current condition hence he'sbeen president, and even before that,
he ran his basement Biden in thetwenty twenty campaign. Joe Biden has never
run a legitimate presidential campaign and he'snever looked like a legitimate president. And
so if Biden was not running thecountry for the last four years, Aamala
(12:15):
Harris probably once. So it seemslike you've just traded one set of problems
for the other. So with Harrisyou have two problems. One she was
running Team Biden as they ran Americainto the ground. And two, who
knew what when if Joe Biden wasunable to do this, trotting him out
there with Alexa Putin and Jijinping watchingthreatened America's national security every day. Joe
(12:41):
Biden was president and remains president.Yeahs a hoax. Yeah, year's long
hoax. Kamala Harris was in onit, absolutely great. They were all
in on it. That includes themedia, that includes all these Hollywood big
donors and all the rest of them. They've all known they're all going to
act like all of a sudden,now they don't. But you know,
again, they never expected Trump tosurvive. And what I mean by that
(13:03):
when I say it over and overagain, they never expected him to survive
the Russia hoaxed, both impeachments.They never expected him to survive any of
this law fair. And when hesurvived last Saturday failed assassination attempt, they
were stuck. They have no there'snowhere for them to go. Then he
comes out with an RNC a conventionthat blows the doors off of none of
(13:24):
that was supposed to happen, andit blows the doors off anything else it's
ever been done before. And theAmerican people get a fresh look at what
that he wants to do and whatthe party looks like now, and boy,
I'll tell you it's turned some heads. They had no choice. The
money was drying up and all therest of it. They've been planning some
of this behind the scenes for awhile, but this was their time to
(13:48):
move. If a Vey Grahama Swamisays this, we're not running against a
candidate, We're running against a system, and that really encapsulates what you just
made that appointment. You know,it's funny because the left, whenever you
hear the word systemic, they're usuallytalking about some type of unfairness between groups
(14:11):
of people. But the Left haspresented us a systemic problem. You know,
Let's take them at their word thatthey do believe blue no matter who,
and they would elect a robot andthey would elect the corps as president.
So basically they're telling you they don'tcare about America. They're also telling
you they don't they only care aboutpower. And then that, you know,
(14:31):
so that leads us to examine,Okay, you want power, a
lot of politicians do what did youdo with the power? And at every
turn, whether it's closing down theKeystone Pipeline, whether it's opening up the
border between America and Mexico, atevery turn, at every policy decision,
(14:52):
the decisions were made such that Americawould be weakened and destabilized. So regardless,
so which Democrat you elect is someonewho probably doesn't believe in America and
does not want to see us asthe strongest country on Earth. They think
we should be brought down a peg. They think there should be equity between
(15:13):
countries and there shouldn't be one countryso far ahead. And so what's the
best way to achieve equity. Areyou going to bring up the rest of
the world or do you simply lowerAmerica to their level? James Dixon with
us right now down I seventy fiveon Twitter and also the Enjoyer podcast,
which is where you can find him. Our entire conversation. By the way,
(15:41):
Yes, we talked about politics.We talk about Gretchen Whitber, part
of the Plan B team. Wetalk about a little bit about what we
knew I think everyone knew what wesaw happen this weekend was coming. We
get into all of that, butwe also talk about Michigan State, why
it matters, and why we loveit so much. Conversation you're definitely gonna
want to be a part of.And the crab You can get that Enjoyer
(16:03):
dot com slash podcast. We'll putit up in the stack a little bit
later on as well Enjoyer dot comSlash podcast. There's more big breaking news
over the weekend, and I wantto get to that coming up here in
just a bit as well as aPresident Trump was here for the rally.
The vice Pasidental Chulaminee candidate jd.Evan's a running mate on the ticket,
(16:26):
Eric de Vanandel, just steps awayfrom where we are broadcasting from right now.
In fact, the whole thing waspacked out. I saw some reports
of some media alwis wanted to saythat there was hardly anybody there with the
whole thing was a capacity. Imean, I never I don't think I've
ever seen that many people inside ofan event like that. I will say
(16:47):
that it was. It was.It was a large, large group of
people, very enthusiastic and u andon fire obviously for the president and for
the visit. But something happened therethat is sending some, of course,
some waves through the state. We'regoing to talk about that in the Senate
race as well, be joined byone of the candidates involved coming up in
(17:10):
this moments. Of course, youcan join the conversation too at any time.
But jumping back on the phone lines. We'll give you a chance to
weigh in on the events of theweekend and more coming up after this.
A growing list of concerns about securityfailures at the event in Transylvania, the
failed assassination attempt on President Trump,and the whistleblawers are coming out of the
(17:32):
woodwork. There's so many of themthey can't possibly silence them all this soon.
There is a hearing set to takeplace today end today Oversight Committee in
the House and they will will definitelyhold her feet to the fire. Kimberly
Cheatlenee Directory Secret Service. I don'tknow how she feels like she could possibly
stay and yet she has not resignedyet. There's no shame anymore in this.
(18:00):
I had a lot of role onthis. We'll we'll be talking about
that coming up. Mike in Wyoming, first up today and the phones.
Mike, appreciate you joining us.How are you man? Justin? I'm
doing just fine, say justin.A couple of things that right out of
the gate when you talked about themball players putting up the fist. That
needs to be our model right now. Fight with the fist. It's gotta
(18:21):
go countrywide, nationwide. We arefighters Justin. We're Americans. We hate,
we don't we don't want to lose. We want to win, and
that's our way. So anyways,what I wanted to talk to you about
is the pick. I'm not thinkingKamala Justin. I'm thinking Hillary Clinton.
She's been landload for a couple ofterms. You know, people are gonna
(18:42):
start forgetting about her crap and uh, she's got a little whit to us
crup that she can be. Nowyou think about that, out of all
of them, who are you gonnapick? Well, the only thing I
can swint thing is for sure,fighting's out and uh, the cat fighter,
I think you're gonna see. Youknow, these all these women involved,
(19:03):
none of them like each other.So it's time to sit back and
enjoy the chow for a while.Jarson. Meanwhile, we have to keep
our foot on the gas and stickwith our game plan. Yeah. I
agree with that, Mike, Thankyou for the call. One thing is
for sure, no matter who itis, it doesn't matter. Essentially,
we're talking about the viag Grahamosami said, But it's this way. You're running
(19:26):
against the system, no matter whoit is, You're running against the failed
policies you're running against the media,You're running against these elites, the donor
class, who really don't care whatyou and I think or want. They
say that they do, they actlike they do, but they don't really
care. And you're running against allof the failed you know, border wide,
(19:48):
open crime, all those issues,every single one of the bidnomics,
all of the failed Democrat policies wouldhave got us to the place we're at
today. So it's not a person, it's a lot bigger and uh and
there's there's even more. In fact, Dan is up next in West Michigan.
Appreciate you, Johnny's Dan, goodmorning, you're a West miskan Live.
(20:11):
Hey, good morning, justin appreciateeverything you do for us books here
in West Michigan, keeping us upto date. My point is this,
it is amazing that the day beforethe director of the President's security is going
to speak the president. Besides,he's not going to run for re election.
(20:33):
I think it's just the puffin' masterspulling the strings, wanting to take
the air out of the story.That's a former president was almost assassinated and
they want to take the focus offof that investigation. Yeah, well,
you know that's a very good pointthen, and the timing it couldn't be
(20:56):
more interesting. You're right, this, this hearing today alone should be and
the event that happened a week priorshould be massive national news. A lot
of it got swept off the frontpage, swept off the news all together.
Today Shrew Fox will cover this,who knows, I'll see an n
or MS Dan Seal will handle it. But you're very you're very right.
(21:18):
These are major, massive failures,and then they're gonna get pushed it awayside,
really because of Biden stepping down.Although here's what I'm gonna tell you.
This is another thing. Don't don'tget me started. I didn't come
down into the bunker with me here. But this letter, he didn't write
it. We now know a guynamed Steve or Kenny on his staff wrote
(21:41):
it. I'm not making this upout of Joe. Joe. Come on,
man, This guy named Steve orKenny wrote the letter. This is
this is out there. He's hemade it to it. Biden didn't even
write the letter. He certainly didn'tpost it on Twitter because even do any
of that, it's some sort ofintern that does that. And now it
(22:04):
looks like he didn't sign it either. It's not his signature. You can't
make this stuff up. There questionon whether or not the guy's even still
live at this point. I hateto say it, but that's what we're
facing. That's what we're looking atthese days. I mean, how crazy
(22:25):
is it. We'll talk more aboutthis during the after sho'll get to the
hearing anymore. Some big news hadhappened here at the rally over the weekend.
Sandy Penciler, running for sidate,stepped out of his race and endorsed
another candidate. So tonight I'm doingthe right thing and ceasing my Senate candidacy.
(22:49):
No, no, it's not inaw it's the right thing. President
Trump endorsed Mike tonight, so amI. So tonight, there you have
(23:15):
it. That's Sandy Penciler saying thathe's getting out and throwing his support behind
Mike Rogers, former congressman and theTrump indoors can't Over the weekend here in
Michigan, a major event, anotherbig one, and of course a big
news coming out of it this weekend. Sandy Penciler with us now to talk
(23:37):
about this and more. Appreciate youtaking the time, sir, grant to
be with you in your audience.We've had some great conversations you and I
the last few months, and youalways make fantastic points, and really appreciate
you being willing to come on andhave those conversations with folks. Let's talk
(24:00):
about this latest the big news,what drove it and why are you making
the decision now? Well, wereally looked out that and we're trying to
look at our pathway. And thepathway was to spend a whole lot with
negative advertising because frankly, Mike wasa head in the polls, he had
(24:26):
been endorsed by the President, andwe had to go really strong out against
him. I didn't really want todo that because I thought it might hurt
his chances. I think he's goingto be the nominee, and there was
a slim path, but I thoughtif it didn't work, it really hurt
his chances. And frankly, mycampaign was never about me. It was
(24:49):
about making America better. And todo that, I really think we've got
to have an opportunity to push througha lot of the president It's agenda,
and to do that we need aRepublican Senate. And I did not want
to be doing something that continued divisiveprimary could hurt those chances, and I
(25:15):
just thought that wasn't okay. Soto do the right thing, I thought
I'd get out of the race andendorse Mike. Think he's going to be
the nominee overwhelmingly. And look,we don't agree on everything, that's pretty
clear, but we agree on thosethings. Then we do agree on pushing
(25:37):
the president's agendas and policies forward,and I think that's the best way to
help America. So that's why Imade that decision. I think it was
the right decision. I think thingsthat happened over the weekend make it even
more likely that the President's going tobe successful. But it's going to be
close here in Michigan. I don'tthink this is going to be a walk
(26:02):
away. It's going to be reallyclose in Michigan. They're going to try
to completely rebrand Kamala Harris, wholooks like she'll likely be the nominee,
and separate her from everything she's doneover the last four years. I don't
think it'll work, but you neverknow. There's just a lot of crazy
stuff that's going on. But that'swhy I did it, and I think
(26:26):
Michael'll make a good senator, andI think he'll support Trump's policies. You
know, we live in a dayand age, as you sort of mentioned
here, where it's hard to knowday after day what's what's coming next.
I mean, it's it does seemin all likelihood that Kamala Harris will be
the nominee for the Democrat Party.But yet, you know, we could
(26:48):
have any number of events in thenext week that could change that. We
just don't know. One thing remainscertain through it all that this is the
most critical election, certainly in mylifetime, maybe as the President has said,
maybe in the history of this country. And I guess that's why all
of this matters so much. Ohboy. I mean, look at what's
(27:17):
happening at the border, and youknow, Kamala was the bizarre to supposedly
fits the border. I think they'regoing to double down on all of THEI
policies instead of having merit and reallydriving equal opportunity. And I really think
(27:40):
that movement towards DEI is incredibly divisiveas well, and it hurts us by
not having just merit. And Ithink we see that in a lot of
positions like secret service that I think. Frankly, it was fairly poign situation
(28:00):
that the cheeta is still saying,well, yeah, Buck stops here,
but she should be resigning. Itwas terrible what went on. If you
look over at that perimeter, youdon't need to be an incredible expert to
see where some of the weaknesses were. And for that shooter to get a
shot from there and carry up.This wasn't a trained foreign seal type officer.
(28:26):
This is a kid. Didn't knowwhat he was doing. Thank goodness,
he was a terrible shot. Wejust we need merits. We need
to get solved these problems. Weneed to stop spending like crazy. Even
today news was out there's one hundredand twenty nine million dollars going to Michigan
(28:47):
for renewable energy projects. Well,it sounds lovely until you realize there's an
effort to make the whole grid renewableand go to don't realize it's more expensive.
It's intermittent energy. It doesn't reallywork. And as you make it
more expensive, who pays for it? All michiganers pay for it. We've
(29:11):
just got this backward policies and hopefullythey'll be stopping in January. So it's
a really big election. And asI said on Saturday, everything comes through
Michigan. The presidency comes through Michigan. It's the key state. It is
deepivotal state, not the only one, but probably more than any other.
(29:32):
The Senate comes through Michigan. Controlof the Senate, control of the House,
and control of the State House.So, boy, there's an opportunity
to make a big difference. Iknow your listeners are informed. Being informed,
isn't enough. Really need to goout and work and make a difference.
There's not a lot of time.It's a little over one hundred days
(29:53):
left to the general election. It'sa big one, you know, reach
out to neighbors, get at tomake a difference. Big election. Sandy
Penciler more in a conversation at thepodcast section at justin Barkley dot Come the
iHeartRadio app wherever you download your podcast, you'll be able to find that conversation.
As Sandy talks about what's next,well he is I on running for
(30:18):
anything else down the road, orwhat he'll do uh to support these candidates
and in this election moving forward,it's the most critical of our lifetime,
that's for sure. And this alot at stake. I beg at it.
In just moments you'll get the latest. The story is a matter most
you know this, Uh, thesignature thing is really picking up, Steve.
(30:42):
But there's other news that just brokeabout Joe Biden. Could we get
an actual resignation from the office ofPresident and that may in fact be on
the table as well. Coming outback after this, we'll tell you why.
After show is going to be jamPactice one of that hearing for the
(31:03):
Secret Service begins in moments. DirectorCheetle in front of Congress today, this
just breaking news. At ten amtoday, Laura Lummer writing that the White
House Chief of Staff, Jeff Sence, is holding a mandatory call for all
White House staff, followed by acall for all political appointees at the Biden
(31:23):
administration at eleven am. We maybe getting close to a full blown resignation,
she writes, from Joe Biden.His medical condition is now terminal from
what sources have said, terminal thatwe've heard some of that talk, some
of that speak lately, and Idon't know, Uh, I got to
(31:45):
want to tell you this. Ifit was a matter of he didn't want
to resign or drop out of therace, if it was a matter of
all that, and and they hadto pressure him and force him, and
it was all about Pelosi applying enoughpressure, which is some of the things
we've heard. It may just beabout applying enough pressure to get him to
(32:09):
step out and resign completely so thatKamala can become prenan Why would why would
that? Why would they want that? Well, if Kamala is president,
then you have history, folks,history being made. You have the first
black female president of the United States. Although there's a question on whether or
(32:34):
not what her actual heritage is.And I don't I don't really care.
I don't think that's important. Theydo, They love it. I think
what's more important is it's Kamal arWhether it's anybody else, you're gonna get
the same policies, you're gonna getthe same results. Unfortunately, over and
over and over again, the Democratsall want the same things. So it's
(32:59):
it's bad news either way. Yousee, it could be Kamala, could
be Whitmer, or it could beNewsome, It could be any number of
people. Doesn't that again, itdoesn't matter. Could be Michelle Obama.
None of this matters. The policiesare still horrific. They're still responsible for
giving us what we've gotten so far. But what the thinking here is what
(33:20):
the strategic or as George W.Bush would say, the strategery, what
the strategery is here is that ifshe becomes president, now she's an incumbent,
and this could go but one ofboth ways, right, you could
get a trial. This is likea free five both trial. Yes,
(33:45):
a free trial of Kamala Harris aspresident and decide whether you like it.
You know, you can cancel itany time, a free trial. Decide
whether you like her as president ornot. And then this upon election day.
So that's that's that's part of athey getting her across the line.
(34:05):
There are a couple of things thathelp in the odds of getting people elected.
And if she could be an incumbentand run as one, that would
really help her. Of course,you know, Biden's never been competent anyway,
So now pulling the plug on himat this moment isn't that hard.
And if there are calls and conversationsgoing on behind the scenes, boy,
that's gotta be. That's gotta beall of that. Note, if it's
(34:29):
a coincidence, I'll tell you thatmuch after show coming up. Actually appreciate
