But i had part of a city wide i had to suburbs of lansing. Holt and mason. And then i had farmland. Are my district. Smalls was urban rural and suburban. That's nuts the farmers in my district and get trip we're gonna get short changed because the dominant voting block at my district was in the city of lansing or just right next to the city of lansing and that's not fair to the farmers they need to have a voice in the legislature to and i would not have been that voice and the person who beat me in the primary. Wasn't that voice either. Because he he was from one of the suburbs so i like communities of interest. I fought very hard. For when we were doing debating the constitutional amendment and i wanted to be the very dominant criteria for the commission and to give the crate the commission as much wiggle room as possible to figure out what a community of interest meant and i and it is obviously something different than Demographics on voting. Because if i stephen markman are very supportive of people who voted like altogether in one district if those people you know i mean that's what gerrymandering is right. Let's cram all those bastards into one district. One of those guys said when he was talking about democrats get them all into one district and then you know we'll we'll split up the rest of them so this is totally disingenuous. If he says he wanted to be done on geography or you know lines like that. I mean there are places where you can drive through. You could go on a highway drive through one single congressional district career times because of the way that it winds around and stuff. So that's just noise or you. Can you can get into a district one to moberg walberg represents and it literally takes you four hours to drive from one end of the district to the other because it extends from west of lansing in eaton county all the way down to monroe and just kind of winds around lansing wines around ann arbor so to avoid all those democrats just to give tim walberg district. He can run and so at enough time spent. I was angry when i saw the thing but Then i thought he lost and i one so what the hell is bond to beat on them when they're wrong yes especially when they're supreme court justice and nobody there are plenty of those that are wrong though Okay school boards michigan..

"We really only have one That's a slotted but none of the lives within eighty miles of lansing even though this is the largest city in the district because they just decided to make the district lines at the northern boundary of lansing which even though city of lansing extended to another county and the county line on the west side of lansing and the city against spills over that county line. It was set up to make mike rogers happy more than a decade ago. So the safe district runnin. And that's the reason for it and they mark them thinks.

"Voice of the Great Lakes. 7 60 Gala. You Che are sitting in today. Rocky Rushkoff's key. So do you remember during the presidential election? Then carried it. Biden, Vice President Biden and his his running mate, Senator Harris, We're always saying that no, no, no Democrats aren't going to raise taxes on the middle class or the poor. Well. Some reports now that that may not be true. We're actually hearing that Biden is now back stepping his promise. Excuse me. The Biden Harris administration is back, stepping his promise not to raise taxes on the lower middle class. Within the expiration of The trump tax cuts. So now, if you recall during the trump air tax cuts, those were some of the largest tax cuts for poor And middle class labors. Now of those tax cuts expire. It's going to basically wipe away any type of gains that the working middle class or the working poor have made in on top of that. Now we've got all this inflationary pressures that we're starting to see. I'm sure if you've seen the price of gas or if you've gone shopping for food. You've seen packages get smaller prices get bigger. We thought we jump in and check with one of our Michigan representatives. A U. S congressman Tim Walberg to find out what's going on. Tim, can you explain to me is this Is this a broken promise on the Biden Harris Administration side? Rocky, good to be with you. It's hard to explain it. Because it just goes totally against what the promises made by the Biden Biden campaign war as you exactly pointed out to the people, but that shouldn't be a surprise. The last administration promises made promises kept Tax cuts Jobs Act border wall, etcetera, etcetera. The promises were kept when we were capable of getting it either passed the Senate or through the Senate. In this case. Because of that, the tax cut that was put through for the middle class, which ultimately made the middle class the largest recipient of the tax relief. Because of the tax cuts and jobs Act in that whole act Now it was only temporary because of reconciliation approach that Democrats disallowed us. Making that permanent for them. So here we come and quietly remember. This was on Friday last Friday of Memorial Day weekend. That he puts through this tax increase. And the payment of six or the budget of $6 trillion, the largest in history that includes the ways to pay for it. Which means huge tax increase on business makes makes China lesser taxed for their businesses In the United States. We become one of the highest taxes for for businesses in the world. And then because they will quietly let the relief for middle class taxpayers go. It'll be a huge tax increase increase increase on the people that are making the goods making. The service is available in this country, and they say nothing about it. It just happens. So when the Iraqi you you and I heard many times, the president say, if you make less than 400,000 year, you won't have any tax increase. Well, that's all changed now, because when that tax Expires. Everybody under $400,000 gets a tax increase. Yeah, it's gonna even affect families that make under our believe up to $62,000 a year for a family of four. They're actually going to end up paying a little bit. Maura's well and you bring up a very valid point. Congressman will work and that is that, you know, we're benefiting in our tax laws were benefiting. Foreign countries. Companies like Chinese made companies are manufactured and developed companies in China or Mexico and they're getting an advantage now. I'd love to hear your perspective on this one. Also on Friday or was a Thursday, I heard Vice President Harris talked about the triangle countries in South America. The countries where we're getting the most individuals crossing our our southern border, or at least that's what they say the most individuals air coming from these triangle countries. And they're talking about investing business in taxpayer dollars in those countries. So are we obviously were shifting majorly from the trump their policies of making our or not just make America great again, but empower American business to stay in America and build in America first. We're now taking those businesses and exporting them overseas and other countries. Absolutely, And that's what we were changing. We were bringing American industries back by giving them incentives to come back in Michigan. We saw three auto manufacturing plants come back to Michigan. Three engines in my district alone came back that Dundee all of that was happening because we were at 21%, the lowest of the major countries in the world for attacks on our businesses that meant jobs for people. Men increased opportunity for people. Individual citizens, not just business is now if we could do with the vice president Harris wants to do in investing in countries that are bringing the biggest problems. United States for illegal immigration Plus Brought you Don't forget this that under the under the president's plan. We also make illegal immigrants eligible for taxpayer funded education grants in this country. So if you don't stay in the guest coming from we will pay you give you special grants for education in this country. We don't give to our own kids in this country, our own parents in this country, So I mean, this is all backwards. And in trying to grow an economy that is America first. Allows us then being first benefit of compassion of helping other countries once we've taken care of ourselves, and we given all our people the opportunity S so so, Rocky, This is just crazy stuff. Whole. Fortunately, I think we can hold a lot of this back, thankfully by the Senate standing firm and saying, even some Democrats like Joe Manchin, others saying, that's what this Can't go back to West Virginia having voted for this type of tax increase on my citizens, especially since we put a lot of our business our citizens out of jobs by doing the green New Deal stuff. It's costing Americans their own income, their own opportunity. Have very good point. Thank you very much for joining us this morning. Tim Walberg Congressman from the eighth District. Am I correct? The seventh District The perfect seven district. Sorry about that. I promoted you buy one district..

"Have you seen any any place at all? I don't know. I haven't checked Huffington Post. I wonder if they've any the left wing psychotic sites. I wonder if they are extolling the virtues of abiding presidency. I don't know is anybody I'm not saying any more news on the media. There's only been there a week happen in a week. He's destroyed four years of Trump accomplishments, so that's gotta become some kind of progress. On the left side. You're on the edge on terror. Next. Welcome back. Welcome back. We're private their own dot com I'm gonna I'm gonna go through some or Donald Trump accomplishments in a bit, but first Talk about Liz Cheney was cheating. I've never been a major fan actually got to meet her once at one of them their dinners or she was speaking. Ah, And I did that thing which I'm more more more increasingly hating when you take a picture with somebody. And the dog and pony shows where they command and they're they're the celebrity and then they stand there and people getting a line ago buying get their picture taken with him. I dove in and got mine taken. Just because I happen to be in the room where the orders were, and they set it up. Tim Walberg was there in the shot, and I want it by just stood next to him taking pictures. So I said, Stand extra, Uh, Who is it all? They always take all the pictures anyway. Uh, she's right now, hopefully losing her leadership position, but she's being stuck up for she's being defended what she did as she came out and stab Donald Trump in the back. There's always been a never Trumper. But she had to do that Be grudgingly, Paul Ryan thing of well, we gotta work on them. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Republican Kentucky. You know, we know that on Monday lauded lauded House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney, Republican Wyoming. Wake of her vote to impeach former President Donald Trump, calling the congresswoman important leader with the courage to act on deep convictions, really? Really? Voted to impeach Donald Trump. Why would anybody in their right mind vote to impeach Donald Trump? That would be I would argue a sign of being out of your right mind. No criminality. There wasn't with the fake Russian collusion either. This is, uh, this is Grandma. Grandma says Let's Cheney is a leader with deep convictions and the courage to act on them. She's an important leader in our party and our nation. I am grateful for her service and look forward to continuing to work with her on crucial issues facing our nation. Did you hear Grandma on the news Right there. Top PR news. Grandma was talking about how Uh, the new The New Administration is not working with Republicans. I'm paraphrasing with that's what he's talking about. We had broad broad by party supported and they did. They didn't want bipartisan support it. They didn't want to go along with our proposals. See what happened is is, uh, The Biden regime summoned the Republicans to the White House to see if they can hammer out some kind of legislation around this China murder virus relief for the country. That's what that was about. And the Republicans wanted just too much. Well, too much of cuts. So, uh, They were told that there's the door. Doing in the room and on the way out, and they came way complaining. And Grandma's complaining that they were not working. Bipartisan. Did you think they were gonna work by personally? Grandma, did you? Did you really did you really think that? By the way, Grandma has just been exposed even further for contributions. This campaign by China now well knew that and he's he's hooked him through his wife. Big time in Chinese shipping. But the bottom line is is that the actual peel a check off, Give it to Grandma to get re elected and Kentucky and keeping the Senate majority Leader? Yeah, I don't have exact dollar amount, but it's huge. It's over on Breitbart. So Grandma's knee deep in the best damn job I've ever had. But he spent a get reelected. Remember that when he was up against wasn't Bevin? He spent $135 million. I'm pretty sure that was under 3540 million bucks. That's what What if I got $140 million? I'm not gonna get elected during office. No, no. Uh, Yeah, So anyway, that's just it just of it. Representative Cheney. Has violated the trust of the voters. Failed to faithfully represent them. This is is this Kevin McCarthy because he went south too. Ah! Anyway, you get the gist of the story. They're all going soft. They're all turning on Donald Trump now. Because they see that going forward. They want to get elected again. Yeah, they want to be elected again. They want to be elected again so they can stand against. Let's look at a couple of the accomplishments that they will be betraying. Betraying Donald Trump. As president. Ah! See, we talked about border security ended asylum fraud. Shut down human smuggling traffickers on saw the humanitarian crisis across the Western Hemisphere. Donald Trump did that. Use section 2 43 D on the Immigration and Nationality Act. That's I n A to reduce the number of aliens illegal aliens coming from countries where governments refused to accept. Their nationals who are ordered removed from the U. S. Yeah. How does that work? By the way? Let's say you want to get rid of somebody, which they don't want to do. It said he did. Just undeniable that we got to get rid of this guy. This guy's the worst of the worst of the worst. We'll send him back to the country came from Wait. The country said they won't take him back. Okay. That's how it was with practicing Obama. That's how it will be with Joe. Was like that with Trump. Signed into law. This is this is Trump signed into law $1 billion increase in funding for critical Alzheimer's research. Now there's pluses and minuses to that accelerated medical breakthroughs and genic treatments for sickle cell anemia. Sickle cell disease. Uh, you could argue the government has no job whatsoever at all. Being involved in medical research funding at whatever that's private sector stuff should be. But as a long as it's going on, they got their priorities straight about where they're wasting our tax dollars or pumping our tax dollars into research. They shouldn't be funding. Finalized the inter operability rules that will give American patients access to electronic health records on their phones. Initiated an effort to provide 500 million over the next decade to improve pediatric cancer research. These Air Donald Trump accomplishment These are things that people should be going, man. This is good stuff. Get this. Get this out to the people in the zombie media. Started a program to provide HIV prevention drug PR EP. Whatever that is to unsecure patients for free. What for free Actually on the diamond, the taxpayer Launched campaign and the HIV AIDS epidemic in America in the next decade again these these are things that the pedestrian if you will, voter would think our accomplishments is opposed to this is over reach of government, but whatever Sign an executive order word a new development contracts to modernize the influence of vaccine. So that's this is medical stuff that you could list is Donald Trump did this Nobody did.

That's always in the back of their minds. I'm gonna fight and I'm gonna tell you what I'm fighting and I'm going to show you my voting record.

"One of the weakest ever Republican candidates for office. John James. And, uh, Completely duplicitous, traitorous. Globalist hat bitch was Cheney and I want to find that picture of me with Liz Cheney. And I want to make a statement on when I find it I'm looking for I've got a zillion pictures. On that Facebook page, but I will find it. Uh, listen to this. You could see this coming. But House Republicans circulate petition to remove pro impeachment representative Liz Cheney. From GOP leadership dog. Uh huh. Yep. I went after Tim Walberg on this today. Uh, this morning. Yesterday was this morning. Texted when I asked him why are you not leading this charge? And he said that he thinks that's the way house leadership is gone. He could come back and say he's gonna lead the charge didn't come back and say he's going to do it. He just It was one of those. I think it'll probably get done on that pissed me off. So I'm not going to get into my conversation back and forth with him, But I basically asked him how come on Jim Jordan, Matt Gates and Andy Biggs lead everything anyway. Faction of Conservative House Republicans are taking action to remove Liz Cheney from GOP leadership after she became the highest profile Republican member of Congress to declare her support for impeaching President Donald Trump. And, uh, a couple other ones have jumped on board Republicans. It's disgusting. It's it's not because Uh, Donald Trump's out of office in five days. This is crazy to even do this. No, no, no, no, it's because it's 100% wrong thing to do. Even if he was in for one day or another or 10 years. He hasn't done anything wrong. Have you noticed that not one. Left wing media outlet. I don't care what it is. I don't care if it's YouTube. I don't care if it's M s LGBT that one of them is playing the president's speech. The one they keep pointing to and say he incited riders to take over the Capitol building, not one Of CNN's. The Hacks are playing anything from that speech, because there's nothing in there that incriminates him, but they keep pointing to it. He incited people to go, Baba. They're going back and saying just because he's him. People went to the capital and the one in and tried to burn down the Capitol building. And it's amazing how they play with the language and call them insurrectionists, but never once called the real insurrectionists. The black lives matter. The antifa, uh, and Communist revolutionaries in the streets of America never once called them insurrectionist did they, and they never once called for the president to invoke the insurrection Act and get them off the streets. Did they? No. No. You know, one of the reasons they did that. Because you fucking to you, Mr Miss Citizen. You are collateral damage. They don't care. Brick goes to your window. Look, if your business get shut down, they don't care They care about Assuming and maintaining power and plunder. That would be the Democrat Socialist Party. So when you're in your business, as let's say you're in Seattle, or you're in Portland, Oregon, or Washington, D. C. Molotov cocktail went through your building. You are not to say some about it. Got beaten by black lives matter. Thugs with a two by four got put on video. Everybody saw it. Everybody saw who did it? Not one thing happened. Not one person was arrested. When that happened. Who do you think the Democrats socialists were pulling for? It, wasn't you? It was not you if you have a restaurant. In Michigan right now. A number of other things, too. But restaurants soon to be the highest profile that they're losing their businesses and you're being told you can see people in this little igloo out in front of your business, but you can't see them inside. They can sit right next to each other in this igloo, and they take their masks off when they eat at the table. And they're literally feet from each other a couple of feet from each other. But they can't sit your restaurant for 56 ft. Away from each other. Who do you think whose side do you think the Democrats socialists are on? Whose side now I Drove through Ah neighborhood today in the People's Republic of Ann Arbor suburban neighborhood. I really do that, but I cut through one to get over to Washington Avenue and I couldn't believe I forgot. I forgot the black lives matter. Science, The Biden Harris signs. I saw one today I could hardly believe it was it was home made on the front line on one of these common neighborhood houses, and it said Thank you, Georgia. What does that mean? There, thanking Georgia. For election fraud and taking the Senate. Along with the election fraud that is abiding presidency. Now they control everything and the people rooting for this. It's interesting. Some of them are going to come out. Okay, They have government jobs or they work for the university. But If they're Biden voters, and they own up my hair salon or a restaurant. They're screwed. Yeah, they're I mean, they're business could be shut down. It is shut down in many cases. Got a business won't come back. They don't see that they never make the connection they never, ever ever made the connection and they love to blame people they consider to be crazy. Conservative whites apprentice fest.

"News Talk 7 60 wjr. All right. Welcome back into the program. Everybody 808 590957 is our phone number. So good to have you with us, You know, get ready. I was just thinking about this. Muriel Bowser, The mayor of Washington, D. C is already asking federal help. For future future demonstrations in D. C. She's worried that they cannot handle it themselves. It's a police department. What I'm wondering right now is really a simple question is what happens when the District of Columbia becomes a state? And believe me, that is going to be an effort because the District of Columbia has no almost 706,000 people that would make it the Uh, the lower state in terms of population. Uh, well, actually, Alaska's got a little less. But anyway, uh, that Zatz the number for District of Columbia and Puerto Rico could also be named a state 3.2 million people live there. So that Xcel little larger, obviously Puerto Rico, but Washington D. C. Get ready. Mariel Bowser, the mayor there is already talked about how she will be governor. Of D. C and she will be in charge of the entire situation there. I have not done a breakdown really of how it will change in terms of DC's residents being a state versus being a municipality like it is now. But that is the conversation. That's the next move.

I'm assuming they keep the name Maybe there's called the State of D. C. I don't know. But right now the smallest state, let's see you've got Wyoming's It. 579,000, Vermont's 624,000 and then d. C is 706,000 roughly Uh and so on. It goes there. You have it, Though. The rankings and where do you see would fall in that list as Muriel Bowser. What concerns you though. Is that here? She is just for the city right now. And this is not even taking a two level of being a state. And she's already asking the feds for help. In case there's another riot in D. C because they can't handle it there. Well, if they can't handle it now. You know they can't handle that is a state either, And I just I'm just concerned about what the future will hold their without becoming a state, But it's going to happen and we'll have to break it down. This time goes on for what it means to everyone else in terms of No federal funds that go there and for programs and all these sorts of things anyway. Let's get back to the phones. Okay? At 808 590957 here on the Frank Beckmann shows, we head down the stretch and let's go to Harrison Township, Tom Europe Next. Thank you for your patience and for holding, sir. Frank, How are you? Very good. Thank you. My question is, is that you know Benson, you this secretary of State, you had said that Well, you had a call. You had the previous secretary of state on saying that there was fraud, But she decided that there wasn't enough fraud And then she blamed the current secretary of state Benson. Of allowing Mail in ballots without signature. So she created if she did fraud in Perpetrated that. Why isn't she being charged for just that? Well, you know, the investigation needs to be on going that way, doesn't it? And you? Do you think the Legislature and because it's controlled by Republicans? Would would do a deep dive on this and would would raise some issues and perhaps seek out legal remedies as a result, But I guarantee it. They're going toe. See extract structural change, because these these applications for ballots is what was sent out. Not the ballots themselves. Keep that minder. What Justin Benson did. She set out applications for ballots, and I Personally, I believe Democrats just figured out a better way to reach their base and to get them involved in the election process and out to vote. How about you? You know, I'm not sure if they did or not. To be honest, I mean it still looking at the fraud. You know, everybody keeps saying there wasn't enough fraud. If there's fraud, it's fraud. I don't care if it was one vote or oppose 100 boats and even if it was 100 votes, and it's not enough to overturn toe overturn it, too. Home. It should still be denied and sent back to the state T have the state Your own boat on who's gonna be Who again? No, no question. It's it's got. It's got to see the light of day and be investigated. I totally agree with you on that. We don't want it to happen again. Come again next time. Next time it might be the secretary of state's race and negatively impact Jocelyn Benson or governor Wittmer or or frown ism. Thief, Yuri. You know you can. You just don't know who it's going to affect next time. They're not always going to be in church a time. Appreciate the call. Thanks so much. Let's go to Franklin next. And Chuckie around the Frank Beckmann show. Good morning. Morning, Frank. Hey, Um, I wondered if you'd entertain some thoughtful criticism of your interview this morning with Tim Walberg always always in the and I'll probably answer you on it too. So give me your issues. Yeah, I have three of them. First of all, the whole interview was conducted with Walberg with the the presumption that it was okay. And that it was, ah, procedurally sound valid thing to do. To challenge the electoral count in Congress. And it wasn't there was no validity to it. Um, we hadn't gone to that subject. Hold it. Just a minute. Chuck. That subject never came up that I recall. Well, No. But what? What Wahlberg was saying Was that his vote and his objection you know was it was it was the congressional objection that led to the whole riotous fiasco. They were there toe to provoke and support and prod Republicans to overturn the election. That whole thing That's Ryan and Wahlberg and Walberg was saying That. Oh, it was we were just trying to ask questions, and we're just trying to get the 10 day, Um, Special commission to look into things. Keep something in mind here. Hold on..

"C. Congress certifying Joseph Biden as the next president of the United States. President Trump. He also issued a statement. Here's Fox Is Chad Program following the story, President Trump Has issued a statement about the electoral results you know, earlier in the day on Wednesday, he said that he would never concede during that rather raucous rally held on the Ellipse near the White House, and here's the statement from tonight, he says, quote even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out. Nevertheless, there will be an orderly transition. On January 20th. Republican Congressman Tim Walberg says yesterday started normally as Congress convened to certify the electoral college vote. But things quickly turned and members were asked to grab their gas masks from under their seats. They were soon escorted out of the chamber. He praised Capitol police for helping secure the building as the day went on, were also four. Uh what we know right now four or five. Bombs that were set one of the Republican National Committee headquarters, another in the capital of pipe bomb that was found in the capital and two other at other locations and suspicious materials. So the Capitol police were not only protecting the capital. They were called away as well to deal with the bomb threats for dead yesterday in the raucous and violent protests on at the Capitol, 52 arrested and again 14 officers were hurt Temple Walberg there. Speaking to Paul W. Smith later in the evening, Walberg voted to object to the certification of the electoral college vote. Congresswoman Debbie Dingell says in the midst of yesterday's violent protests, lawmakers knew they had to get back to work probably was angry. I was worried about her democracy and I was going to keep fighting for a democracy and I was one of the people that said We will go back to the capital. We must go back to the capital and we have to finish doing our job. Debbie Dingell, speaking with Chris Randwick, Mick Mulvaney, President Trump's former acting chief of staff, announcing today he has resigned from his role as the U. S special envoy to Northern Island, Ireland, the latest in a string of administration officials to leave after The president's supporters stormed the capital building, Deputy National Security Advisor Matt Pottenger resigned. The first lady's chief of staff Stephanie Grisham, White House Social Secretary Ricky Musetta, and the deputy press secretary Sarah Mathews, all quit following yesterday's violence on Capitol Hill. The latest reading on the job market is not quite as bleak as forecast. Jenny Castle. It takes a close look. The number of people filing for unemployment benefits is still painfully high but has moderated slightly. There were 787,000 new claims for unemployment benefits last week, down 3000 from the previous week and fewer than forecast economists were expecting the number of claims to remain steady or increase. Because of rising coronavirus cases in restrictions to control the virus. The number of continuing claims also declined to 5.7 million, and he declined in. That number reflects people going back to work, but also those whose benefits expired. GeneCo's LDA Fox News On Wall Street this hour.

"And it will be better tomorrow as we're reminded again and again by the late Dr Maya Angelou. Meanwhile, I suspect we would get the same thought. From a guy who was in the thick of things in Washington yesterday. Basically locked down in the House gallery in the U. S. Capitol under siege. And a guy who joined us already this week, Congressman Tim Walberg is back to talk about the experience, Congressman A Good morning. Welcome back. Are you there? Cause I don't hear him. Really Well, you know, you know. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Start from the beginning because we didn't hear you at all. If I had taken myself off Mute s, I would have coughed it cost in here. I didn't feel fine, but it's you know, I'm almost feel like Paul W. In bed last night 33 a m. I guess this morning 3 A.m. and then now up How do you I don't know how you do this, but, uh, we're glad to be with you this morning. Yeah, it was. It was. It was a terrible day yesterday for part of it. It was a great day for other parts of it. We We started out doing the things that Constitution requires Electoral college counting of votes. Getting into debates about objections to certain of the state's votes on then everything broke out crazy, but I'll go to the end we we went back into session and completed. Task of counting the votes yesterday. And I think that was a demonstration to the world as well as to, uh, sadly, the people that chose to use their First Amendment liberties In a way that we don't do in the United States and cause destruction and death. And a lot of pain and frustration in the process, But in the end America came through and I'm glad to be part of it. And I'm glad we did show the world that even though there was a momentary blip You got back to doing what you were supposed to do. You were not prevented from doing What you were supposed to do, and you you accomplished what you set out to do in the There's been a lot of confusion this year between what's a protest and what's a riot, and I blame Much of the mainstream media for forgetting the word riot and thinking that everything was a quiet to protest. They right away. Thought of even the quiet protest is being a riot. But when you cross a line As people did you are then writing and it's not right anywhere, but especially in the United States Capitol so there should be no confusion. All of that should be pretty clear to people. And and we move on from there, and that's what we're doing. We will have in the president's own word who called for peace early in the morning this morning. And said, they'll be in orderly transition of power. Which is good to hear him say, because that's what people Needed to hear all along as difficult loss, as it might have been, and with all of the allegations that are still raw, and who knows what went on and where, but the bottom line is We stand for democracy. Around the world we did yesterday morning at this time, and we do this morning at this time. Well said Well said. We are a republic Republican form of democracy. That means we're constitutional democracy. We're not just a democracy that says majority wins, that we've taken great consideration to make sure that we all have a say we don't have an opportunity. And the rights of the majority as well as the minorities are protected. And what we saw yesterday. Um I think was the culmination of a lot of emotions that went on. And maybe some rabble roses assed well. But in the end in the end, um We move forward, and I was delighted this morning to hear that the president said there will be orderly transmission. Uh, the transition transition. You see, you know, you said in the beginning. I don't know how you do this. I didn't know what you were talking about the first but I know what you're talking about. How do you get two hours? Three hours of sleep. Come on the air and makes sense. I'm not sure I do make sense. But I understand how difficult this is for you. Hey, e. I appreciate that. Let me ask you before we leave. Um uh, since I don't have an opportunity to was speak to too many people who were there. Locked down in the chambers. What was it like from your standpoint? Well, it started out much like what you'd hear on a state of the Union address in recent years, you'd hear a demonstration noise going on somewhere in the capital, and normally it's 2030. People that are demonstrating are doing a sit down that type of thing and Banging drums or whatever. And you hear that, But this could began to get closer and closer and we were going on with our debate. Constitutional Abate said. It was over their chambers. We were in ours. And all of a sudden the sergeant at arms and the Capitol. Police began telling us various reports. We we recess for short periods of times, went back into the bait. And then all of sudden they came and said, Listen, we want you to pull your gas mask out for underneath your chairs. And have them in your lap already. And if we ask you to get to the floor, get the floor because there is some protection with the backs of our seats..

"6 37 Wednesday morning, middle of the week, sixth of the January Big day. With whatever's going to happen with the electoral college and the votes and the numbers and all of that. We had a nice conversation with the congressman Tim Walberg. Yesterday we'll get well. We should replay that. Maybe we'll replay as he explains what they're Uh, what they're going to what the drill will be today. Meanwhile, Azaz predicted. It looks like the Democrats will indeed control the Senate so well. Fasten your seat belt will see what it's like to have people who Get what they want, and we'll see how that effects all of us along the way. All right, Marie. We will talk to the governor tomorrow, and I'm sure she's that She's mad as hell about this whole, You know, she's gotten national attention, some positive, some negative. For the whole coronavirus thing, But this one there's there's no other way to look at it. But negative when you say that as the front page of this morning's Detroit News screams Michigan's virus vaccination rates sixth worst. In the U. S. Um, that's just not what any of us were expecting, obviously, and I'm sure she'll have lots of answers, because I'm sure she's been asked about that a lot, but you had some good information earlier about that night. I never thought about the idea of first responders choosing not to get the vaccination. Well, that's one of the things that they point to as the reasons why this has been such a slow roll out, you know, they believe that Z. There's data that shows that this is true that when we see our leaders and health officials among us taking a vaccine, let's say or participating in something that is good for us. Were more apt to say, Uh oh, You know what? I'll try that I'll do that. So that's been one point a sticking point for them here in the rollout in Michigan. Yeah, well, we've talked about this stuff till we're blue in the face. It would have been better to have the president say. This is probably a good thing to do what I'm going to do it and you should do it, but that I mean, going back and forth over this. He's already paid the price. I think the biggest price he paid for in besides having Lot of nefarious activity surrounding the election. It wasn't helpful the way he dealt with the virus, and those people wanted to blame him politically. I've said this so many times, and I should go to sleep and say it in my sleep. You can't blame the president for the virus around the world. That wasn't his fault. And but be that as it may, it would have been better if we started off. Having a better feel for what we needed to do. But then that points to doctors, Sir Anthony Fauci on the CDC and the Worthless Health organization and others who either completely blew it or misled us. From the beginning, and we would've had a better, uh, I think a better foundation to work from and this'll hate to say this, but There's going to be another. There will be another pandemic and Way if we don't learn from this one and handle the next one better. I don't know what the answer is going to be other than cleaning house everywhere. I mean, I don't know. I don't really know what health experts around. There's a couple of great pieces documentaries. I think there are Netflix on this very topic and how there are teams of scientists around the world who do nothing but try to find the latest outbreak of any disease right, so they travel like if they see that there's a hot spot for something they will travel there. Ebola's the example that comes to mind. They will travel there. What's happening there? Why is this happening even if it's just a few cases, so this is not anything new to the real health of people in public health and people who are investigating and analyzing the data. I mean, just took the rest of us by surprise, and I do want to say one thing about the president. He did say if I'm not mistaken. This was before Christmas when the vaccines came out that he because he had had the virus and had the antibodies for he did not want to be vaccinated in front of other, you know, in front of other people, health providers who may have needed it. So if I If I remember correctly, the president did stand back on that for that reason, which made sense. Really? Right? Yeah. Anybody who's had it? They said they don't know how long the immunity last. But yeah, that was Isn't he made a lot of smart and good decisions. It just never got it never got played up as well as the some kind of dumb things he tweeted or or the attention. He took away from something good that he did by tweeting something. Bad and that's just unfortunate. It's we could go on forever with that. I don't want to, but I do note this day in history. 1994. This is the day that Nancy Carrigan was clubbed on the leg. At what.

"Frank Beckmann Show News. Talk 7 60 wjr Now sitting in for Frank Beckmann. Here's Chris Randwick. Alright, final hour of the show will open up to you. 808 590957 talked about a lot of things. You've obviously been talking about the Georgia runoff sits today. Should be priority Number one for the GOP. Gotta win. At least one Gotta win. That least one Goes to the dams. It doesn't do any good. You lose control. You gotta win at least one at least one So we'll see how it plays out. Keep an eye on it for you. President was in Georgia yesterday was indulgent county was there. Trying to rile up troops. Joe Biden was the same way he was there yesterday, trying to rile up the troops. A lot of money going into Georgia for this. This is a big one. This is it. This is the one where you got to pay attention. This is the one that both parties need. Look, Stacey Abrams has done a really nice job down there. Split. Georgia allegedly So that's the case, even if it was close. It's impressive. So I'm just saying, just saying Now What is the GOP done? What have they done? Have they done enough? We'll see. Also tomorrow. You've got the joint Legislate. You've got the joint chambers meeting. House in the Senate on Capitol Hill. And they're talking. Electoral college. We know there will be challenges. We know it. Tim Walberg on early You told us he's going to challenge it. So What does that mean? They say. It's not. This is not about overturning the election. This is not about getting Donald Trump back in office for another four years. It's not what it's about. It's about ensuring and making sure you making sure people Have trust in our system. And maybe you just don't and we poured from a lot of college today. You just you're done. You've got no faith anymore. We've had people say they're just not voting anymore. After this So That's on the table for you as well. 808 590957 808 590 W. J. R. That's the number for you. To call in text. It's got a J and royal Oh, Good morning, Jay. Because while you're doing that, Hey, what's going on? All right. Well, you mean you keep on asking like what's the result? The result has to be that we take back our government. 70% I'm saying. That's a minimum of 70% of these politicians. You know, in our government or crew out, they only do things for themselves. What makes them Richard? Ways elected. These people to work for us couldn't agree more. And this this you know, Colbert stimulus package is the direct example of what I'm saying. Mm. This is Americans get a measly $600. Well, while we give billions and billions of dollars away to other countries where they have to start working for us. Is very remote is this election? This election goes it was 100% corrupts. I mean, just just watching two women called ballots from underneath the table is example enough. I mean, if one thought happens that that should be enough. I shouldn't have. You shouldn't have to prove anything else. You know, if they if they don't sit back and do the right thing with this electoral college then then I think truthfully. And I hear singing the two but I think either two things need to happen. You, don't we? Started knew who started new political party with just Patriots just people that want to work for Americans. And that's it. Or I think there's gonna be a revolution of some sorts, You know, and I'm not saying they got to be a violent revolution. I think it's something has to happen. S so I mean, that's that's much. I'm glad to such I'm just I'm just a produce delivery guy. But you know, that's my two cents on unlike J, and look again, and you're not alone. And when I say when, When people become disenfranchised in this situation, right when they go look, there was voter fraud and a gigantic level. They're taking this from Donald Trump. And we're not voting anymore. We're done. We're done with this word out. I'm done. When when you get to that point, right? And actually, to be honest, Donald Trump brought a lot of those people out. Many people were already there before Donald Trump head back in 2014 back in 2015. Those people weren't even participating. Because they were all right. They were already if they were where we're at now, where a lot of people right now we're just going. Look, I'm done. They're throwing in the towel. They were there Six years ago. They were already there. Seven years ago. Eight years ago, they were there. They weren't voting for Barack Obama orbit Romney. John McCain or or George Bush. Or they weren't into the voting. They won't even a morning in participating because they were already tired of it. And now we're getting back to a place where people are going to go back. And they're going to say I'm done. I'm done again. Donald Trump brought that out in people. And when I say that there are people that you know, like real supporters of the president in Washington, D C You know, like Tom Cotton is one that that pops right in front of my mind. Um Nikki Haley is another one. Where these people very much Mesh with the Donald Trump ideology. And so when if Donald Trump goes away if Donald Trump is done being president In 15 days. If that's the case, there are people that will continue that mantra. They will carry that on. Actor 75 million people out there that are into it. So I just I don't think that that I believed for me personally. That's where the Republican Party is. That's where they need to be there. There's look The Democrats had every single advantage in this election. Every single one They had every single it seemed. Major major company out there stumping for him. They had all of Hollywood everybody, every single famous person in this country. They had musicians, athletes. They had everything. They had everything. And and there was supposed to be this gigantic Democrat way. It wasn't it wasn't there. It wasn't Lost houses and they lost seats in the house, and they're in jeopardy of Still falling behind the Senate. But come four years from now. That that that support diminishes it vanishes. Because they don't find it is necessary to participate again. That's just how it goes. So those 75 million people, the Republicans of GOP need to find a way to hold on to that..

We have a deep bench for the gubernatorial election coming up in a couple of years, and I think it'll be very interesting to see who steps forward here. It's all the more reason I wanted, Tolo. State right out of the box here that before this thing started taking on its own life that you know, I will not be a candidate for governor.

What you take I don't know if the Republicans will take the Senate seats in Georgia. Honestly, I really don't know. I don't have the best field for right now. I don't think so. I don't think so. I think the president's comments on tape to the Georgia secretary of state Honestly, I think that that was not helpful. I have some friends in Georgia. There's a lot of talk about that. We'll see what happens. You know, I'll tell you, as I say this week is gonna be crazy. I'm a person who believes that it's the job of the Congress to pick. Excuse me. It is not. It is not the job of the Congress depict President in America. It's the people The people have to pick the president, but I will say in Michigan And I've talked to some of our legislators for the leaders here, both in the house and the Senate. You know, there's all I was a former secretary of state as you know, so you know, there's always some issues in counting the vote in every election. But you know here, the results have been certified the board of Canvassers and every municipality in every county. The state has certified, so I think what we need to do is look at some some election reforms here. And I know that they're looking at that. You know, there's some best practices that we can pick in other states. I mean, Florida after they had all the problems with Bush V. Gore is now something that you could hold up. I mean, they have early vote. They have an enormous mail in vote. They have all of these things. You know for the Republicans, you could say, Look, they elect Republicans statewide all the time. So you know, Ohio is another state to look at Utah. There's some some great best practices out there, and I think that's really what's important here in Michigan, because obviously, you know, we need voters to believe that their vote does count. It's very distressing. To all of us. I think to see all of this happening and people really believing that somehow this This election was was not done properly. So there's a lot of questions and there always will be, but a quick one. Now we had Representative Tim Walberg on earlier tomorrow. He's going to be challenging the electoral college votes. Um what do you What's your take on that for tomorrow? Mm hmm. E guess everybody has to decide what they're going to do. I will tell you from a personal perspective. When I was in the Congress, I actually was a participant in counting those. I mean, that was really sort of a perfunctory thing with you have the This was with Biden when he was vice president, he was overseeing that which Pence is now going to do. What for Obama's election, and so then you have you had pants and you had Schumer and you had at that time and boner. And then there were two tellers. There was a Democrat teller and there was a Republican. Tell if it was me. And I have these pictures of the ceremony outside my office. I was looking at the other states saying I can't believe I was a part of that history. And now it's at the time. It was just.

What were they not former Attorney General's former Defense Department people, whatever that all those people got together to say. To say to the president. Please don't call upon the military. For political reasons. Or for what was their thing. Yeah, that they you know they are of the 10. Former defense secretaries just want to keep the military out of election disputes. They say that that obviously would be dangerous for many reasons. And unlawful according to them this it's hilarious. So those 10, former defense secretaries, Republican and Democrat calling for the president to not have military involved. With anything election wise. And yet, here's this headline that no one's talked about. The Democrat Washington, D. C. Mayor Muriel Bowser. Is calling in the National Guard to deal with expected protests this week. When Congress meets to certify the presidential election vote, so those defense secretary's calling upon the president not to call in the military while quietly. A Democrat mayor of Washington. Has called in the National Guard. For the election. I mean, doesn't anyone find that to be a little odd? Something to think about. I do. E can happily say I do, but no one's really talking about it except us, pointing it out. Uh, this morning, did you? Did you see the story? You probably have the story of the pharmacist. Who destroyed 570 doses of the modern a vaccine. Yeah, he left him out of the refrigerator. Because, as a conspiracy theorist, he believes the drug isn't safe, right. He thinks it'll mess with people's didna. That's what he thinks. And so he took it upon himself to Uh, ruin really 500 doses of the vaccine. This was in, uh, Wisconsin. He could have ruined and destroyed. 570 people's lives. Mm yeah, Yeah. Yeah. So what did they do with someone like that? What can throw a big enough Look at someone like that? Yeah. I mean, he's been arrested. I mean, so he is facing charges $10,000 Bond. He can do that with this Triple A card. Right out, right. Right, right. So Yeah, it Zittel it. You know, it's interesting in that. It's I've heard people mention this. Like just in talking, you know with other people that you know. Wow. Could that really happen? And sure Enough, Here's a case where Someone actually sabotaged the vaccine. So yeah, very serious matter. Yeah. I suppose. I mean, if there are people who believe What is it? G five or five? G? Yes, well, that's can control. Our lives is when people are burning down places and knocking down telephone poles and Well, blowing up trucks in front of the 18 T bills. I was just going to say that was we think that's the motive behind the guy in and Nashville. Man. Oh, man. Um, I've never been much of a conspiracy theorists that terrorist but you know some of these, uh In the end. Sometimes years later, we find out they weren't far off the mark. But I don't think any of these are on the mark. I don't think that that five G is somehow Infiltrating our bodies and causing us to be followed by the government or whatever it is, they think. Is happening. I mean, I just I don't believe it At a certain point in time you have to say Well, if you really believe stuff like that, then you really either have toe mount the revolution against the government. War. Get the heck out of Dodge. Or there's always common sense. You could try toe, you know, muster up some common sense. Wait a minute. Common sense. Not so common anymore. As the expression goes, yes. Yeah, so anyway, so we will follow that the pope has spoken. Saddened by reports of so many people traveling Over the holidays. Mm hmm. There, there's a big backlash on social media. I was just reading about this. There's a big backlash on social media. Ah, lot of celebrities posting pictures over the holidays if from fabulous locales, you know where they go and spend, um, you know, they're They're vacations, you know, places that are warm and exotic and wonderful. And people are just really like one in particular is Christy Teagan, who was just getting a lot of a lot of backlash on this saying Hello. There's a pandemic going on. None of us are supposed to be traveling unless necessary. What are you doing? And so, yeah, People are really getting raked over the coals on that one. Yeah, yeah, And there's a lot that goes into that, including jealousy. I think there's jealousy too. But I also wonder, you know. Well, you know we're gonna We're in a day and age where you post everything right? You let it all hang out, So I guess that opens you up for criticism. Indeed, it do. It is 7 13 at 7 60 wjr. Jeff Sloane is founder and CEO of Startup Nation spotlighting the entrepreneurial tech and startup community on WJR. And Let's talk a little bit about success. Who doesn't love a great success story? Right, Jeff? Good morning like the rest of us. I love a great success story. But what is really fascinating to me is how and why someone goes big. How they think what makes a winner tick. What makes them different and sets them apart? Well, here's a little inspiration that take us into the holiday. It's the story of a lawyer. His name is Mike Morris, and he wanted to go big and boy did he ever Had a chance to interview Mike recently. And here is the essence of his story. In his own words, Mike. Well, I've been an attorney or 28 years, Always right here in Detroit, Born and raised in Detroit, and my dad was a successful attorney over something. I always wanted to do an early on in my life. Actually, I knew I was not to procure. I was selling gum out of my locker in middle school, and I was a very successful waiter through high school and college and even in law school. I like making money. But even more importantly, I liked finding the shortcuts go. Working in a restaurant and how to make the most sales and make the most money. And it just kind of went into my law firm, and I realized that a law firm was a business early early. It's really good mentors. I read a lot of good books, and I decided that I was going to not just treat it like every other lawyer does. I believe that everybody has to look at their entity like a true business. And after about 20 years of working on cases day in and day out, I step back a little bit, and I started treating it like a business. I still handle cases. I still talk to my clients. Every Day, But I'm or working on top on my business looking over my business than working in my business, and it has really transformed to something unique. We exploded. And of course, we're delivering good legal services. So the clients are coming. Repeat clients. They're sending us a lot of clients. But basically I was a good lawyer and I decided to treat my business like a business and things just kind of took off for me. And there you have it. So if you want to make.
WJR 760
"tim walberg" Discussed on WJR 760
"Tim Walberg representative Jack Bergman, some others. Have announced that they will formally object during the electoral college certification process tomorrow. On. So we're going to ask representative Tim Walberg about that right now. Good morning, Congressman. Always a pleasure to have you on the show. Likewise, Paul, good to be with you. And a happy new year, by the way, and may this be a way better way more blessed year than this last year. This this horrible last year that we went through Sometimes it Zaveri clear that God tests us for for 10 more challenges that were greater things. And so I hope it's the greater things that come this next year, but You and I are both alive and talking involved and trying to make a difference, And I think that's a good thing and they're a lot of people out there that have struggled through this year that we We need to help out, so let's stay strong. Boy and our President Donald Trump, who's done an awful lot of hell on Lee be given credit for in the history books eventually. But, boy, is he ever struggling watching him last night in a rally in Georgia? I don't know if he did more good arm or harm, frankly for the Republican senators in the in the runoff, but he is He is so struggling. I can't blame him. I mean, from the moment, even the moment before he got into the White House and into the Oval Office, he was being attacked and criticized no normal human being could have gotten through. What this president has gotten through and gotten done The things he got done while Being attacked constantly. Absolutely. The policy has been amazing. And can you imagine? Had we gone through this pandemic? With Hillary Clinton's economy, which she would have had, she told us what she was going to do is the same as Barack Obama and worse with greater taxes, etcetera, So we're going into an economy that was not only struggling but floundering. And then to have shut down take place would have destroyed it. We have seen homelessness increase suicides in more than we've seen. Now, At least we have an economy that was strong, and it's amazing House have rebounded as well. But we also had a president understood that the private sector generally does things more rapidly more efficiently than the public sector and moving the two together. Cut the red tape. He was able to even get a vaccine out in record time, unheard of in history before so that now people are getting that vaccine and hopefully we'll get through this time period of a surge here in the winter and move on it. Well, life that's back more toward normal and progressing, so no, I don't know how he's taken it for almost five years. And still kept moving forward and pounding away. But I guess we'll see what the outcome of last night was by tonight when the votes are counted in Georgia, and I sure hope that people People think smart and Don't think personality, think policy and realized that we're going to have to have at least one check and balance in Congress here, and that would be the Senate to T O work with incoming president if it is Joe Biden. Should appears. It appears that it will be ultimately but nonetheless. We have to have some balance to this or else we will flounder still further and you'll have to bring. You'll have to bring someone back to clean it up in four years. You know the checks and balances very important And we can't reiterate that enough, but I had written down personality while we were talking. I make little notes while I'm talking. With someone as special as you are. Congressman Tim Walberg, and I wanted to reiterate something I wrote in my ear. It might have been this past Monday. So Detroit news column and that is The difference between performance and personality with Donald Trump. You won't get people admit this. But his performance in many ways was in a his personality. In many ways was an F sadly and the American people or Or most of them unless this election was indeed stolen from the president. Thea Merican. People couldn't separate the personality from the performance. And that was that was a challenge. You're right. So meanwhile, what is it? You Hope to accomplish by challenging the Electoral College should event tomorrow that the electoral college certification process What is it you hope to accomplish tomorrow? And what realistically, can you Accomplished tomorrow. Well, great question. And when you're talking about this president in the election, there are there are there's a split nation out there now extremely split nation there a lot of people in my district. Down river in your old hometown, Monroe, who were traditional value, blue collar Democrats, union, hard workers, the rank and file Uh, they love his personality. It speaks to them and And so those things they're there. But now when they see an election they thought from all out outward appearances. And the red wave that took place in the rest of the country. I mean Congress that the Republicans didn't lose the 15 states. They've gained 14. So far, the Democrats lost seats. We saw the pickup of state legislatures of governor It was a red wave across United States and so why, they say. Why they say would would would. Would Donald Trump the president who kind of lead the way lose an election and then when they see pictures of what went on in Wayne County, for instance, accounting process there, and they hear of some other things all around the nation, there's a division. So what? My my efforts tomorrow along with others? I think many others who will be objecting to the electors is on Lee, too. Heighten awareness that we need the state legislatures, which are given the authority not only in the state Legislature, state Constitution and laws like Michigan article, too. But they're also given the authority from the federal government in saying it's up to the states and so here, Paul Wi. When you see him, you can check it out. See if it's fact But I still wear my Michigan Legislature ring on my ring finger. And people have asked me why I still wear that. Why don't I get a congressional ring? Well, I weird Truly to remind myself and any others who have a chance to give a sermon to that the power in government flows up from the states and not the other way around. And so on the win that when the U..
