1
00:00:00.250 --> 00:00:04.290
This is West Michigan's Morning News. Good morning.
2
00:00:04.290 --> 00:00:04.549
837.
3
00:00:04.549 --> 00:00:08.619
We were talking in the last hour. We are about
4
00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:15.119
two weeks away, 15 days away from midterm elections. Justin
5
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:18.179
Barclay back with us as we talk about this week
6
00:00:18.230 --> 00:00:20.829
in Michigan politics. Good morning, kind sir.
7
00:00:22.410 --> 00:00:25.510
Yeah, you just mentioned 15 days away. Things are really
8
00:00:25.570 --> 00:00:26.670
starting to heat up.
9
00:00:26.989 --> 00:00:28.670
And if you've been.
10
00:00:28.570 --> 00:00:33.979
Watching the big races, obviously the governor's race, you've got
11
00:00:34.020 --> 00:00:36.159
the race for the Senate, which has taken on a
12
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:39.619
national spotlight here in the state.
13
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:40.520
But there's another.
14
00:00:40.539 --> 00:00:46.119
There's another from Michigan that's grabbed the spotlight this weekend.
15
00:00:46.859 --> 00:00:52.000
Current Democrat Michigan Senator Alyssa Slotkin said, saying that she
16
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:55.340
wants folks that would come in and maybe serve the
17
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:59.009
Trump administration, well, to feel like they shouldn't.
18
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:00.409
Is this a threat?
19
00:01:00.469 --> 00:01:02.950
I'm saying I want to look at these signature cases
20
00:01:03.490 --> 00:01:06.129
and not just focus on the president, but on the
21
00:01:06.189 --> 00:01:09.370
people who enabled him. I want young people coming out
22
00:01:09.409 --> 00:01:11.569
of school to say, should I go work for the
23
00:01:11.590 --> 00:01:14.359
Trump administration? Like, that sounds fun. I might get an opportunity.
24
00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:17.060
I want them to be like, Lord, that might be
25
00:01:17.140 --> 00:01:20.590
buying myself. a ton of problems that I don't want,
26
00:01:20.790 --> 00:01:24.269
and so let me avoid participating in that. I want
27
00:01:24.310 --> 00:01:26.269
that deterrent message.
28
00:01:26.290 --> 00:01:29.810
You know, it was kind of a flop this weekend
29
00:01:29.870 --> 00:01:34.079
for the No Kings Day all across the country from
30
00:01:34.090 --> 00:01:37.250
the reports that we're seeing, and a lot of those
31
00:01:37.299 --> 00:01:43.439
folks are protesting against what they call tyranny. This certainly
32
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.640
sounds like it coming out of a senator's From Michigan.
33
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.920
And again, folks have been talking about this all week
34
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.140
or all weekend, and it's.
35
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.879
A big problem. Another problem Democrats have.
36
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:02.500
Happened over the weekend, threats from socialists, the Democrats, Socialists
37
00:02:02.540 --> 00:02:07.459
of America, Congresswoman Hillary Skuldin, a Democrat who really hasn't
38
00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:11.680
come out and pushed for Abdul El-Sayed, the Democrat on
39
00:02:11.699 --> 00:02:14.639
the ticket in that Senate race against Mike Rogers, the Republican.
40
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.250
common sense versus crazy. She hasn't come out for him, um,
41
00:02:19.509 --> 00:02:23.349
for Abdul. And she received a threatening letter who she
42
00:02:23.409 --> 00:02:26.090
claims is from the Democrat socialist of America.
43
00:02:26.789 --> 00:02:29.060
Now, really interesting story here with her.
44
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:33.099
And of course, um, you know, everything that we've seen
45
00:02:33.139 --> 00:02:36.979
happening over the weekend overseas, lots of people putting pieces
46
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.199
together and saying, boy, you know, this is really strange
47
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:43.289
times we're living in. And people are starting to show
48
00:02:43.330 --> 00:02:49.080
you who They are. Scolton saying thoughts with the staff
49
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:53.090
and the people, the first responders who opened that letter,
50
00:02:53.129 --> 00:02:54.229
that threatening letter.
51
00:02:54.030 --> 00:02:58.009
With a really scary scenario there at hand.
52
00:02:58.930 --> 00:03:04.590
Speaking of scary, Steve, Whitmer appointees approving $ 139 million gas
53
00:03:04.650 --> 00:03:06.250
rate hike for consumers' energy.
54
00:03:07.009 --> 00:03:10.280
If you think your bills are too high, the Democrats
55
00:03:10.340 --> 00:03:12.520
may be to blame. How do you get around that?
56
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.669
And on top of it, Along with those rate increases
57
00:03:16.729 --> 00:03:19.030
and hikes in the threat from data centers, a big
58
00:03:19.069 --> 00:03:21.009
debate happening last week as well.
59
00:03:21.729 --> 00:03:25.509
And in this clip, John James, a congressman.
60
00:03:26.210 --> 00:03:30.129
Claiming that, hey, listen, Jocelyn Benson's husband benefited from one
61
00:03:30.150 --> 00:03:34.509
of these data centers, bulldozing the Saline Township folks for
62
00:03:35.009 --> 00:03:39.370
getting that done and making almost $ 400, 000. She can spew
63
00:03:39.409 --> 00:03:41.229
lies all she wants to, but the fact of the
64
00:03:41.270 --> 00:03:42.810
matter is her party's been empowered.
65
00:03:42.830 --> 00:03:45.830
They've given tax credits to these billion-dollar companies. She and
66
00:03:45.870 --> 00:03:48.159
her husband have been employed by billionaires, bought off, and
67
00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:51.819
she now wants to insinuate that. that somehow campaign donations
68
00:03:51.860 --> 00:03:56.300
are tantamount to her putting $ 370, 000 in her personal bank account.
69
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:59.960
The fact of the matter is that they've bulldozed the
70
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.000
will of the people, and we must hold her accountable
71
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.849
for continuing to tell stories and yarns about this. There
72
00:04:06.870 --> 00:04:09.909
have been widely reported. Go to datacenterdarlings.com.
73
00:04:10.050 --> 00:04:13.349
Yeah, that was all from last week, and Steve, things
74
00:04:13.430 --> 00:04:16.350
are heating up, as you mentioned, 15 days away. There's
75
00:04:16.389 --> 00:04:19.040
a group here in Michigan called 10X Votes. They had
76
00:04:19.069 --> 00:04:23.129
a great success in 2024 that they're actually getting people
77
00:04:23.269 --> 00:04:26.139
out and getting them to get their friends and relatives.
78
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.019
These are low propensity voters to come out and vote.
79
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.939
Folks that would vote, they believe, for the causes that
80
00:04:32.980 --> 00:04:37.230
they believe in, conservatives, 10xvotes. com. And you can do it
81
00:04:37.290 --> 00:04:39.089
on your phone. You can do it from a laptop
82
00:04:39.110 --> 00:04:41.050
or an iPad or whatever you do from your couch.
83
00:04:41.670 --> 00:04:44.709
It's made it really convenient, 10xvotes. com.
84
00:04:43.949 --> 00:04:48.629
And they're very excited about the prospect's uh, at this election.
85
00:04:48.829 --> 00:04:51.279
And, uh, as you, as you see today, boy, there's
86
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.420
a lot on the line, just.
87
00:04:52.819 --> 00:04:53.399
15 days away.
88
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.860
How do we run into Justin Barclay today for more?

00:00:04.290 --> 00:00:04.549
837.
3
00:00:04.549 --> 00:00:08.619
We were talking in the last hour. We are about
4
00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:15.119
two weeks away, 15 days away from midterm elections. Justin
5
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:18.179
Barclay back with us as we talk about this week
6
00:00:18.230 --> 00:00:20.829
in Michigan politics. Good morning, kind sir.
7
00:00:22.410 --> 00:00:25.510
Yeah, you just mentioned 15 days away. Things are really
8
00:00:25.570 --> 00:00:26.670
starting to heat up.
9
00:00:26.989 --> 00:00:28.670
And if you've been.
10
00:00:28.570 --> 00:00:33.979
Watching the big races, obviously the governor's race, you've got
11

13
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:40.520
But there's another.
14
00:00:40.539 --> 00:00:46.119
There's another from Michigan that's grabbed the spotlight this weekend.
15
00:00:46.859 --> 00:00:52.000
Current Democrat Michigan Senator Alyssa Slotkin said, saying that she

Trump administration, well, to feel like they shouldn't.
18
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:00.409
Is this a threat?
19
00:01:00.469 --> 00:01:02.950
I'm saying I want to look at these signature cases
20
00:01:03.490 --> 00:01:06.129
and not just focus on the president, but on the
21
00:01:06.189 --> 00:01:09.370
people who enabled him. I want young people coming out
22
00:01:09.409 --> 00:01:11.569
of school to say, should I go work for the
23
00:01:11.590 --> 00:01:14.359
Trump administration? Like, that sounds fun. I might get an opportunity.
24
00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:17.060
I want them to be like, Lord, that might be
25
00:01:17.140 --> 00:01:20.590
buying myself. a ton of problems that I don't want,
26
00:01:20.790 --> 00:01:24.269
and so let me avoid participating in that. I want
27
00:01:24.310 --> 00:01:26.269
that deterrent message.
28
00:01:26.290 --> 00:01:29.810
You know, it was kind of a flop this weekend
29
00:01:29.870 --> 00:01:34.079
for the No Kings Day all across the country from
30
00:01:34.090 --> 00:01:37.250
the reports that we're seeing, and a lot of those

together and saying, boy, you know, this is really strange

times we're living in. And people are starting to show

00:02:43.330 --> 00:02:49.080
you who They are. Scolton saying thoughts with the staff
49
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:53.090
and the people, the first responders who opened that letter,
50
00:02:53.129 --> 00:02:54.229
that threatening letter.
51
00:02:54.030 --> 00:02:58.009
With a really scary scenario there at hand.

Claiming that, hey, listen, Jocelyn Benson's husband benefited from one
61
00:03:30.150 --> 00:03:34.509
of these data centers, bulldozing the Saline Township folks for

her husband have been employed by billionaires, bought off, and
67

she now wants to insinuate that. that somehow campaign donations
68
00:03:51.860 --> 00:03:56.300
are tantamount to her putting $ 370, 000 in her personal bank account.
69
