No BS Newshour Episode #367
And on The 7th Day… He Ran Away
(05:04) And Then There Were 7
Pastor Solomon Kinloch, the mega-church preacher who lives in a $1.5 million estate way out there in Apple Cider Millville but still wants to be mayor, has dropped out of the No BS Newshour debate.
Not to worry, he’ll be there in spirit.
Trust us on that.
(16:18) Grandma Killer
What did Gretchen Whitmer tell the DOJ about nursing home deaths?
The state says it’ll cost us $3,147.80 to find out.
What do you say we start a GoFundMe and call their bluff?
(26:31) Jake the Fake
Remember when we filed for custody of Joe Biden citing abuse and neglect?
We ought to write a book on that.

1
00:00:00,560 –> 00:00:04,400
Okay, so the Noel BS News Hour and the Michigan Enjoyer
2
00:00:04,880 –> 00:00:07,760
are hosting the Detroit mayoral debate.
3
00:00:08,320 –> 00:00:09,960
It’s not really a debate.
4
00:00:09,960 –> 00:00:12,040
There’ll be no lecterns,
5
00:00:12,040 –> 00:00:13,120
no opening statements,
6
00:00:13,120 –> 00:00:14,960
no cheesy canned answers.
7
00:00:15,240 –> 00:00:16,160
We’ll sit down,
8
00:00:16,480 –> 00:00:18,560
we’ll ask the candidates the hard questions,
9
00:00:18,680 –> 00:00:20,160
and they’re going to have to answer them.
10
00:00:20,880 –> 00:00:22,320
This is a really big deal.
11
00:00:22,320 –> 00:00:26,680
This is the new media replacing the old because the
12
00:00:26,840 –> 00:00:28,640
old media has failed you,
13
00:00:28,640 –> 00:00:29,200
Detroit.
14
00:00:29,880 –> 00:00:32,120
They’ve been busy sitting around at the Detroit Athletic
15
00:00:32,120 –> 00:00:36,160
Club, sipping cocktails and taking dictation from
16
00:00:36,160 –> 00:00:39,920
the mayor and the money class while they ate the city
17
00:00:40,080 –> 00:00:40,640
alive.
18
00:00:41,200 –> 00:00:44,560
This debate is for you and it’s about you.
19
00:00:45,120 –> 00:00:47,200
So join us this Thursday,
20
00:00:47,360 –> 00:00:49,480
May 22nd from 6 to 8.
21
00:00:50,240 –> 00:00:51,120
Be there early,
22
00:00:51,280 –> 00:00:54,760
6 to 8 at the Wayne County Community College District
23
00:00:55,040 –> 00:00:57,200
Northwest Campus.
24
00:00:57,400 –> 00:00:58,400
You can either do that,
25
00:00:58,800 –> 00:01:02,800
or you can watch the live stream on X at Charlie LeDuff
26
00:01:03,280 –> 00:01:05,360
or at Michigan Enjoyer.
27
00:01:05,920 –> 00:01:06,640
And remember,
28
00:01:07,040 –> 00:01:08,080
elections matter,
29
00:01:08,640 –> 00:01:10,080
but your children matter more.
30
00:01:10,880 –> 00:01:11,440
See you there.
31
00:01:15,280 –> 00:01:17,440
Live from downtown Detroit,
32
00:01:17,680 –> 00:01:22,280
it’s the No Bullshit News Hour with my main man,
33
00:01:22,560 –> 00:01:23,440
Charlie Lazar.
34
00:01:27,520 –> 00:01:28,640
And Karen Dumas.
35
00:01:28,640 –> 00:01:31,120
I’m still breaking up.
36
00:01:31,680 –> 00:01:32,760
Dumb or bullshit.
37
00:01:33,120 –> 00:01:34,000
Dumb or bullshit.
38
00:01:35,200 –> 00:01:36,160
Ooh, I’m wired.
39
00:01:36,160 –> 00:01:37,920
James Dixon.
40
00:01:37,920 –> 00:01:38,480
Welcome in,
41
00:01:38,480 –> 00:01:38,960
dude.
42
00:01:39,720 –> 00:01:40,480
Good to see your face,
43
00:01:40,480 –> 00:01:41,040
Charlie.
44
00:01:41,280 –> 00:01:41,840
Good to see you,
45
00:01:41,840 –> 00:01:42,240
Karen.
46
00:01:42,520 –> 00:01:42,840
Thank you.
47
00:01:43,040 –> 00:01:43,800
Nice to see you as well.
48
00:01:43,800 –> 00:01:46,240
Calling us with the Michigan Enjoyer with his own podcast.
49
00:01:46,240 –> 00:01:46,880
What’s that called?
50
00:01:46,880 –> 00:01:47,680
The Michigan Enjoyer?
51
00:01:47,680 –> 00:01:48,600
The Enjoyer podcast.
52
00:01:48,600 –> 00:01:49,280
There you go.
53
00:01:49,280 –> 00:01:51,080
Like, big intellect,
54
00:01:51,080 –> 00:01:51,520
this guy.
55
00:01:51,520 –> 00:01:52,880
So it’s going to be Karen,
56
00:01:53,280 –> 00:01:54,720
James, and me.
57
00:01:54,960 –> 00:01:56,760
And this is not a debate.
58
00:01:56,760 –> 00:01:57,680
Not a debate.
59
00:01:58,400 –> 00:02:00,320
But it’s going to be focused.
60
00:02:00,320 –> 00:02:02,560
Like, I was up late.
61
00:02:02,560 –> 00:02:05,360
Like, I’m looking into finances.
62
00:02:05,760 –> 00:02:06,800
background,
63
00:02:07,040 –> 00:02:08,080
crime data,
64
00:02:08,160 –> 00:02:09,280
utility rates.
65
00:02:09,280 –> 00:02:10,400
We’re not joking.
66
00:02:10,640 –> 00:02:12,720
They don’t get to have little statements.
67
00:02:12,720 –> 00:02:12,920
No.
68
00:02:13,200 –> 00:02:14,160
One of them,
69
00:02:14,560 –> 00:02:16,360
one of the candidates asked for the questions ahead
70
00:02:16,400 –> 00:02:16,760
of time.
71
00:02:17,040 –> 00:02:18,880
Yeah, it’s very interesting,
72
00:02:18,880 –> 00:02:22,320
but I feel like they’re all accustomed to a more structured
73
00:02:22,800 –> 00:02:23,440
setting.
74
00:02:23,680 –> 00:02:24,960
And that’s what they’re asking for.
75
00:02:24,960 –> 00:02:27,200
And I keep repeating that it’s not that way.
76
00:02:27,200 –> 00:02:28,800
There are no opening statements.
77
00:02:29,520 –> 00:02:30,960
You know, it’s not a Q&A.
78
00:02:30,960 –> 00:02:31,320
You don’t,
79
00:02:31,320 –> 00:02:32,000
I mean, in terms of,
80
00:02:32,000 –> 00:02:32,400
you know,
81
00:02:32,400 –> 00:02:34,240
you get 2 seconds to respond.
82
00:02:34,240 –> 00:02:35,640
It is a conversation because
83
00:02:35,720 –> 00:02:37,920
the response may prompt another question.
84
00:02:38,080 –> 00:02:41,600
We want people to come away with substantive content
85
00:02:41,840 –> 00:02:43,800
as they move forward to decide who’s going to be the
86
00:02:43,800 –> 00:02:44,320
next mayor.
87
00:02:45,200 –> 00:02:47,200
This thing is not tilted toward,
88
00:02:47,680 –> 00:02:49,760
we hope the candidates get the most out of it.
89
00:02:49,760 –> 00:02:51,920
It’s tilted toward the citizen getting the most out
90
00:02:52,040 –> 00:02:52,280
of it.
91
00:02:52,280 –> 00:02:55,680
And so if we can press you and probe you and get you
92
00:02:55,680 –> 00:02:57,760
beyond your canned speech,
93
00:02:57,920 –> 00:02:59,760
people might learn about your character.
94
00:02:59,920 –> 00:03:02,320
People might learn if you have ideas that might move
95
00:03:02,320 –> 00:03:02,960
the city.
96
00:03:04,240 –> 00:03:04,960
And we can’t,
97
00:03:05,600 –> 00:03:07,680
that will never happen in a setting where you’re giving
98
00:03:07,680 –> 00:03:08,960
a live action commercial.
99
00:03:09,120 –> 00:03:12,000
Right, and a realistic assessment of what they’re inheriting
100
00:03:12,000 –> 00:03:14,480
as a city and the challenges that they face.
101
00:03:15,520 –> 00:03:16,480
It’s all bullshit.
102
00:03:16,960 –> 00:03:18,240
Okay, it’s all bullshit.
103
00:03:18,240 –> 00:03:20,720
You’ve been spoon-fed bullshit.
104
00:03:20,720 –> 00:03:22,080
The media went along with it.
105
00:03:22,240 –> 00:03:23,840
Nobody knows how to do math.
106
00:03:24,080 –> 00:03:25,840
Nobody even knows what a tariff is.
107
00:03:26,000 –> 00:03:28,000
Nobody knows what the utility rates are.
108
00:03:28,160 –> 00:03:29,600
Nobody knows about the budget.
109
00:03:29,760 –> 00:03:31,600
Nobody knows what happened with crime.
110
00:03:32,040 –> 00:03:33,840
They just took it and they ate it.
111
00:03:33,920 –> 00:03:37,440
So now we’re going to find out who’s going to take
112
00:03:37,440 –> 00:03:42,720
the chair when and mark it when the city’s finances
113
00:03:42,720 –> 00:03:43,520
blow up.
114
00:03:43,840 –> 00:03:46,080
You know, I don’t want to give away too much here,
115
00:03:46,320 –> 00:03:46,960
but I could.
116
00:03:47,040 –> 00:03:48,160
I just- Because they’re listening,
117
00:03:48,160 –> 00:03:48,520
Charlie.
118
00:03:48,520 –> 00:03:49,680
What do we know?
119
00:03:49,680 –> 00:03:52,000
You all better do to studying because.
120
00:03:52,560 –> 00:03:53,040
It’s like,
121
00:03:53,200 –> 00:03:54,000
go to school.
122
00:03:54,400 –> 00:03:56,360
He and I used to work together at the Detroit News.
123
00:03:56,360 –> 00:03:58,440
She and I used to work together at the Detroit News.
124
00:03:58,440 –> 00:04:00,400
So we’re not idiots.
125
00:04:00,400 –> 00:04:01,480
We read budgets,
126
00:04:01,480 –> 00:04:02,280
spreadsheets,
127
00:04:02,280 –> 00:04:02,960
crime data.
128
00:04:03,120 –> 00:04:05,400
We’ve seen bodies in the streets.
129
00:04:05,400 –> 00:04:06,880
We’ve seen schools burn down.
130
00:04:07,200 –> 00:04:08,400
And I live here.
131
00:04:08,400 –> 00:04:10,320
So I see this every day.
132
00:04:10,320 –> 00:04:12,560
I have been here all my life outside of,
133
00:04:12,560 –> 00:04:12,880
you know,
134
00:04:12,880 –> 00:04:14,960
when I was in college.
135
00:04:14,960 –> 00:04:16,680
So I have watched the city go up.
136
00:04:16,720 –> 00:04:18,800
I have watched the city go down and I’ve been in two
137
00:04:18,800 –> 00:04:19,800
Merrill administrations.
138
00:04:19,800 –> 00:04:20,640
So I know,
139
00:04:20,960 –> 00:04:21,360
you know,
140
00:04:21,360 –> 00:04:22,320
the inner workings
141
00:04:22,440 –> 00:04:24,400
of this city in a way that a lot of people don’t.
142
00:04:24,400 –> 00:04:25,680
You worked in City Hall.
143
00:04:26,040 –> 00:04:26,160
Yeah.
144
00:04:26,240 –> 00:04:27,440
Well, I’ve been,
145
00:04:27,680 –> 00:04:28,000
you know,
146
00:04:28,000 –> 00:04:28,640
here we go,
147
00:04:28,640 –> 00:04:29,040
right?
148
00:04:29,520 –> 00:04:31,360
So to me, when I’m,
149
00:04:31,680 –> 00:04:32,000
you know,
150
00:04:32,000 –> 00:04:32,640
talking to you,
151
00:04:32,880 –> 00:04:33,120
you know,
152
00:04:33,680 –> 00:04:34,640
in real life,
153
00:04:35,680 –> 00:04:38,480
this town is more than drywall in the Detroit Lions.
154
00:04:38,480 –> 00:04:40,240
That’s all anybody seems to know.
155
00:04:40,240 –> 00:04:40,720
But you know,
156
00:04:40,880 –> 00:04:43,720
are anybody occupying these apartments?
157
00:04:44,400 –> 00:04:46,800
I tell you who’s occupying a lot of apartments.
158
00:04:48,360 –> 00:04:50,200
Pastor Solomon Kinloch.
159
00:04:50,640 –> 00:04:54,520
Okay, so what we have is we got 8 candidates and we
160
00:04:54,520 –> 00:04:57,360
don’t want them all standing in a lectern like my
161
00:04:57,360 –> 00:04:58,160
colleague said,
162
00:04:58,160 –> 00:04:58,960
no, we don’t want that.
163
00:04:58,960 –> 00:04:59,640
What we’re going to have,
164
00:05:00,520 –> 00:05:05,280
two panels of 55 minutes for each random draw,
165
00:05:05,280 –> 00:05:05,600
right?
166
00:05:05,600 –> 00:05:05,920
Right.
167
00:05:06,160 –> 00:05:08,240
But it’s not going to be two panels of four because
168
00:05:08,560 –> 00:05:09,600
for some reason,
169
00:05:10,720 –> 00:05:14,800
Pastor Solomon Kinloch of the Triumph Church decided
170
00:05:14,800 –> 00:05:15,520
he’s not coming.
171
00:05:16,120 –> 00:05:16,720
and they said,
172
00:05:16,720 –> 00:05:19,360
they cited to me a scheduling conflict.
173
00:05:19,360 –> 00:05:22,640
So let me just paint this out from a factual standpoint.
174
00:05:23,040 –> 00:05:23,840
I reached out.
175
00:05:24,080 –> 00:05:24,800
This Karen,
176
00:05:24,800 –> 00:05:25,920
man, you in trouble.
177
00:05:25,920 –> 00:05:29,120
Well, no, I reached out to all of the candidates directly.
178
00:05:29,120 –> 00:05:29,840
I text them,
179
00:05:30,160 –> 00:05:30,880
as the kids say,
180
00:05:30,880 –> 00:05:33,280
I have receipts in March.
181
00:05:33,440 –> 00:05:36,240
And so he did not respond,
182
00:05:36,280 –> 00:05:38,800
but I sent it to someone in his camp and they said
183
00:05:38,800 –> 00:05:39,520
he’s in.
184
00:05:39,760 –> 00:05:42,160
So I took that as a confirmation.
185
00:05:42,240 –> 00:05:45,040
I have emailed several times all the candidates as
186
00:05:45,040 –> 00:05:46,040
we were putting this together.
187
00:05:46,240 –> 00:05:47,200
the save the date.
188
00:05:47,920 –> 00:05:50,960
And then I got a call from someone in their camp two
189
00:05:50,960 –> 00:05:52,600
days ago and asked,
190
00:05:52,600 –> 00:05:53,640
have you heard from anybody?
191
00:05:53,640 –> 00:05:54,000
And I said,
192
00:05:54,000 –> 00:05:54,880
no, I have not.
193
00:05:55,080 –> 00:05:55,480
And they said,
194
00:05:55,480 –> 00:05:56,680
well, we sent you an e-mail.
195
00:05:56,680 –> 00:05:58,320
I said, I did not receive an e-mail.
196
00:05:58,320 –> 00:06:00,760
So they forwarded an e-mail that they said was sent
197
00:06:00,760 –> 00:06:03,600
to me on the 13th that I did not receive.
198
00:06:03,960 –> 00:06:05,200
but the 13th is still what,
199
00:06:05,200 –> 00:06:06,560
nine days outside.
200
00:06:06,640 –> 00:06:07,360
I haven’t,
201
00:06:07,600 –> 00:06:08,640
and I explained to them,
202
00:06:08,640 –> 00:06:10,920
I said, I understand scheduling conflicts,
203
00:06:11,280 –> 00:06:13,360
but everybody has my cell number.
204
00:06:13,360 –> 00:06:14,560
I named five people,
205
00:06:14,560 –> 00:06:15,720
including Pastor Kinloch.
206
00:06:16,080 –> 00:06:17,440
Everybody has my cell number.
207
00:06:17,440 –> 00:06:19,240
I said, and we’re not that hard to find.
208
00:06:19,280 –> 00:06:20,560
Okay, so here’s what,
209
00:06:20,720 –> 00:06:22,000
he’s gonna be out of town.
210
00:06:22,080 –> 00:06:25,160
So he’d rather be out of town than in Motown,
211
00:06:25,680 –> 00:06:28,640
standing next to his contemporary so we can judge
212
00:06:28,640 –> 00:06:30,160
what we got going on here.
213
00:06:30,560 –> 00:06:32,320
Now, I don’t play this.
214
00:06:34,480 –> 00:06:35,600
But at the same time,
215
00:06:36,080 –> 00:06:36,960
in fairness,
216
00:06:37,680 –> 00:06:40,280
Ken Lock did convey that he’d be more available after
217
00:06:40,280 –> 00:06:41,120
the primary,
218
00:06:41,600 –> 00:06:43,680
which I thought was kind of presumptuous given that
219
00:06:43,680 –> 00:06:45,440
there’s eight people in the primary.
220
00:06:45,680 –> 00:06:48,000
How could you possibly know you’ll survive it?
221
00:06:48,800 –> 00:06:49,800
That’s a good question.
222
00:06:49,840 –> 00:06:51,840
Well, let’s see what he’s all about.
223
00:06:51,840 –> 00:06:52,800
We got a little clip here.
224
00:06:52,800 –> 00:06:53,520
He gave an interview.
225
00:06:53,520 –> 00:06:57,280
Let’s see the depth of his knowledge of Detroit.
226
00:06:57,600 –> 00:07:00,040
Many times we coming in and we think because we got
227
00:07:00,040 –> 00:07:02,720
beautiful pictures and we showing it.
228
00:07:03,040 –> 00:07:06,560
to the community that they ought to just like it because
229
00:07:06,560 –> 00:07:07,160
we said it.
230
00:07:07,680 –> 00:07:09,160
No, that’s not how this works.
231
00:07:09,560 –> 00:07:10,240
At the end of the day,
232
00:07:10,560 –> 00:07:12,880
if I’ve been living in this community all my life,
233
00:07:13,280 –> 00:07:16,960
I want to be a part of what’s happening in my community.
234
00:07:16,960 –> 00:07:19,680
And I don’t want to be priced out at the end of the
235
00:07:19,680 –> 00:07:19,920
day.
236
00:07:20,800 –> 00:07:22,840
A lot of times people come in and they think because
237
00:07:22,840 –> 00:07:24,160
development is taking place,
238
00:07:24,640 –> 00:07:29,520
and we’re not getting tax credit or an abatement for
239
00:07:29,520 –> 00:07:33,200
this, then whatever we want to do is okay.
240
00:07:33,600 –> 00:07:36,800
But what you’re doing in a community is still impacting
241
00:07:37,120 –> 00:07:38,720
the economics of that community.
242
00:07:39,040 –> 00:07:41,520
So anything you do in that community still needs to
243
00:07:41,520 –> 00:07:43,880
be a conversation and it needs to be a conversation
244
00:07:43,880 –> 00:07:45,600
with the people that live there.
245
00:07:46,400 –> 00:07:48,880
I don’t even know what he said.
246
00:07:48,880 –> 00:07:50,920
That was Kamala Harris level word sound.
247
00:07:51,200 –> 00:07:52,000
That was nothing.
248
00:07:52,760 –> 00:07:54,320
But what I can take out of it is,
249
00:07:54,960 –> 00:07:58,400
dude, you haven’t lived here in 30 years,
250
00:07:58,800 –> 00:08:00,000
excepting for the P.O.
251
00:08:00,000 –> 00:08:01,600
Box in 2014,
252
00:08:01,680 –> 00:08:04,000
which must have very small furniture in it.
253
00:08:04,640 –> 00:08:05,840
He’s been living,
254
00:08:06,560 –> 00:08:08,000
up to last year,
255
00:08:08,160 –> 00:08:15,800
he’s been living in Oakland Township in a $1.5 million,
256
00:08:16,880 –> 00:08:18,320
5,000 square foot,
257
00:08:18,320 –> 00:08:20,000
5 bedroom,
258
00:08:20,080 –> 00:08:21,920
3 bath estate,
259
00:08:22,600 –> 00:08:23,520
Where’s Oakland Township?
260
00:08:23,520 –> 00:08:24,320
You know where that’s at?
261
00:08:24,640 –> 00:08:27,920
That’s closer to Romeo than Rosedale Park.
262
00:08:28,000 –> 00:08:30,040
This is where you go for a hay ride.
263
00:08:30,040 –> 00:08:31,920
This is where you go pick pumpkins.
264
00:08:32,080 –> 00:08:33,600
Let’s get some apple cider.
265
00:08:33,760 –> 00:08:36,240
They all die of old age up there.
266
00:08:36,320 –> 00:08:37,360
Whoa.
267
00:08:37,640 –> 00:08:38,640
And not gunshots.
268
00:08:39,320 –> 00:08:39,600
Right.
269
00:08:40,160 –> 00:08:40,520
Right.
270
00:08:40,520 –> 00:08:40,760
Whoa.
271
00:08:41,200 –> 00:08:41,920
Okay.
272
00:08:42,000 –> 00:08:44,320
So I was up late calling the,
273
00:08:44,480 –> 00:08:44,720
you know,
274
00:08:44,720 –> 00:08:46,960
calling the secret sources in.
275
00:08:46,960 –> 00:08:48,160
Let me, let me check out.
276
00:08:48,240 –> 00:08:49,800
I went, I went down to the board of elections.
277
00:08:49,800 –> 00:08:50,960
I pulled his voter file.
278
00:08:52,040 –> 00:08:56,080
He moved to Detroit last March,
279
00:08:56,160 –> 00:08:58,000
just in time to make the year deadline,
280
00:08:58,560 –> 00:08:59,760
residency requirement.
281
00:09:00,960 –> 00:09:02,160
He moved two more times.
282
00:09:02,240 –> 00:09:06,400
So he moved in here to Michigan Avenue for 10 weeks.
283
00:09:06,560 –> 00:09:10,160
I went over there to Michigan Avenue and I couldn’t
284
00:09:10,160 –> 00:09:11,120
get in the building,
285
00:09:11,600 –> 00:09:12,960
but some dude,
286
00:09:13,480 –> 00:09:15,280
I’m trying to get in the door and somebody comes out
287
00:09:15,280 –> 00:09:16,320
the side door and goes,
288
00:09:16,640 –> 00:09:17,520
hey, come over here,
289
00:09:17,600 –> 00:09:18,160
come over here.
290
00:09:18,680 –> 00:09:19,520
And I go in.
291
00:09:20,560 –> 00:09:21,600
And it’s unfinished.
292
00:09:21,600 –> 00:09:22,400
The whole shit’s on.
293
00:09:22,400 –> 00:09:24,400
It’s just a construction zone,
294
00:09:24,400 –> 00:09:24,720
right?
295
00:09:24,800 –> 00:09:25,880
With wires hanging out.
296
00:09:25,880 –> 00:09:26,480
And the guy says,
297
00:09:26,760 –> 00:09:28,600
no, what do you think this light that doesn’t work?
298
00:09:28,600 –> 00:09:28,960
I go, well,
299
00:09:28,960 –> 00:09:30,320
you have to connect it here.
300
00:09:30,720 –> 00:09:32,680
And well, I did discards.
301
00:09:32,720 –> 00:09:34,640
I might want to put it on this side of the room.
302
00:09:34,640 –> 00:09:35,040
I go, well,
303
00:09:35,040 –> 00:09:37,200
I wouldn’t do that because you’ve already finished
304
00:09:37,200 –> 00:09:38,000
the facade.
305
00:09:38,000 –> 00:09:38,880
So, you know,
306
00:09:38,880 –> 00:09:41,560
you can place the new facade and cut it out there,
307
00:09:41,560 –> 00:09:41,760
right?
308
00:09:41,800 –> 00:09:42,480
I’m explaining to him.
309
00:09:42,880 –> 00:09:44,160
And then a guy walks in and goes,
310
00:09:44,480 –> 00:09:47,400
yeah, I’m here from Kirby Electrical.
311
00:09:47,400 –> 00:09:48,680
And the guy looks at me and goes,
312
00:09:48,880 –> 00:09:49,360
Who are you?
313
00:09:49,360 –> 00:09:51,760
I go, nobody.
314
00:09:52,400 –> 00:09:53,600
He just invited me in.
315
00:09:54,080 –> 00:09:55,360
I gave you my opinion.
316
00:09:55,360 –> 00:09:57,840
I’m A handyman down the street at American Coney Island.
317
00:09:57,840 –> 00:09:58,480
See you later.
318
00:09:58,640 –> 00:09:59,520
Whoa.
319
00:09:59,680 –> 00:10:01,040
Did you really live there?
320
00:10:01,760 –> 00:10:03,200
Then the next address,
321
00:10:04,000 –> 00:10:06,000
oh, let me see that March didn’t,
322
00:10:07,520 –> 00:10:08,280
after 10 weeks,
323
00:10:08,480 –> 00:10:09,840
he moves in with his brother.
324
00:10:10,640 –> 00:10:13,440
Now you got this big freaking mansion out there.
325
00:10:13,440 –> 00:10:14,160
You got a wife,
326
00:10:14,160 –> 00:10:14,880
you got a kid,
327
00:10:15,080 –> 00:10:16,200
and you’re living with your brother.
328
00:10:16,960 –> 00:10:17,680
And then
329
00:10:18,960 –> 00:10:19,760
Eight months later,
330
00:10:19,760 –> 00:10:21,840
just this past February,
331
00:10:22,240 –> 00:10:23,840
he moves in next to his brother.
332
00:10:24,240 –> 00:10:26,320
So who’s minding the shop?
333
00:10:26,720 –> 00:10:29,120
Maybe we move into like the clampets.
334
00:10:29,200 –> 00:10:30,160
Hey, show that picture again.
335
00:10:30,320 –> 00:10:31,600
He got a cement pond.
336
00:10:32,160 –> 00:10:33,360
He got a real,
337
00:10:33,520 –> 00:10:35,760
look at that cement pond in the back.
338
00:10:35,760 –> 00:10:36,880
Oh, look at the trees.
339
00:10:37,120 –> 00:10:39,360
This, this is my dream.
340
00:10:40,720 –> 00:10:42,040
Well, it’s going to be a hell of a commute.
341
00:10:42,040 –> 00:10:43,120
You should start a church then,
342
00:10:43,200 –> 00:10:43,440
Charlie.
343
00:10:43,840 –> 00:10:44,080
Yeah.
344
00:10:44,240 –> 00:10:44,880
So, you know,
345
00:10:44,880 –> 00:10:46,000
maybe he’s going to commute.
346
00:10:46,480 –> 00:10:47,680
By angel’s wings.
347
00:10:48,800 –> 00:10:49,280
Maybe.
348
00:10:49,480 –> 00:10:50,080
What is that?
349
00:10:50,080 –> 00:10:50,240
Maybe.
350
00:11:08,760 –> 00:11:19,520
In the city’s bro.
351
00:11:21,640 –> 00:11:23,280
And I’m living with my brother.
352
00:11:24,080 –> 00:11:24,280
Wow.
353
00:11:25,920 –> 00:11:26,480
So Charlie,
354
00:11:26,480 –> 00:11:27,280
let me ask you this.
355
00:11:27,360 –> 00:11:31,120
So what do you say when people hear that and they say,
356
00:11:31,120 –> 00:11:34,320
well, Dave being moved into the city and
357
00:11:34,800 –> 00:11:36,160
Mike Duggan moved into the city?
358
00:11:36,160 –> 00:11:36,880
I would say,
359
00:11:36,960 –> 00:11:39,840
well, the city’s not happy with the way they’ve been
360
00:11:39,840 –> 00:11:40,200
treated.
361
00:11:40,200 –> 00:11:41,280
There’s no doubt.
362
00:11:41,440 –> 00:11:45,200
It’s beyond argument that the people,
363
00:11:45,600 –> 00:11:47,040
the residents,
364
00:11:47,280 –> 00:11:48,640
not the developers,
365
00:11:48,800 –> 00:11:50,080
not the football fans,
366
00:11:50,080 –> 00:11:51,840
but the people feel left out,
367
00:11:51,840 –> 00:11:52,480
neglected,
368
00:11:52,640 –> 00:11:54,400
and it never reached them.
369
00:11:54,480 –> 00:11:55,600
So under Dave Bing,
370
00:11:55,600 –> 00:11:56,640
the city went bankrupt.
371
00:11:57,400 –> 00:11:58,160
Under Mike Duggan,
372
00:11:58,160 –> 00:11:59,600
all the money got eaten alive,
373
00:11:59,600 –> 00:12:00,360
and there’s none left,
374
00:12:00,360 –> 00:12:03,600
and we’re probably quite possibly quite likely
375
00:12:04,240 –> 00:12:05,440
headed into the red again.
376
00:12:05,920 –> 00:12:06,640
That’s what.
377
00:12:06,880 –> 00:12:07,000
Okay.
378
00:12:07,440 –> 00:12:08,320
Just want to be fair.
379
00:12:08,640 –> 00:12:09,280
That’s what.
380
00:12:09,440 –> 00:12:10,080
You know what I mean?
381
00:12:10,320 –> 00:12:10,600
Yeah.
382
00:12:11,000 –> 00:12:14,000
And I think it also says something about where Detroit
383
00:12:14,000 –> 00:12:15,120
stands as a city,
384
00:12:15,520 –> 00:12:18,000
that the people who have the most options,
385
00:12:18,640 –> 00:12:19,600
a Dave Bing,
386
00:12:19,640 –> 00:12:20,560
a Mike Duggan,
387
00:12:21,160 –> 00:12:21,920
don’t choose it.
388
00:12:22,320 –> 00:12:24,000
The people who are buying homes,
389
00:12:24,120 –> 00:12:25,040
don’t choose it.
390
00:12:25,440 –> 00:12:29,800
And so the very things that run the average person
391
00:12:29,800 –> 00:12:33,200
out of the city are why candidates kind of arrive
392
00:12:33,200 –> 00:12:34,560
here as late as they can.
393
00:12:34,960 –> 00:12:36,480
People don’t want to live in Detroit.
394
00:12:36,800 –> 00:12:37,360
And I mean,
395
00:12:37,720 –> 00:12:38,480
so Mike Duggan,
396
00:12:38,720 –> 00:12:41,120
I don’t want to live here unless I can run it because
397
00:12:41,120 –> 00:12:42,400
otherwise I can’t be sure,
398
00:12:42,800 –> 00:12:43,040
you know,
399
00:12:43,040 –> 00:12:44,400
the city is well run.
400
00:12:44,560 –> 00:12:46,240
That’s essentially what he said.
401
00:12:46,480 –> 00:12:48,080
And we gave him three terms.
402
00:12:48,920 –> 00:12:49,720
That’s absolutely true.
403
00:12:49,760 –> 00:12:50,880
I just, and again,
404
00:12:50,880 –> 00:12:51,120
you know,
405
00:12:51,120 –> 00:12:53,360
when we talk about people not moving into the city,
406
00:12:53,360 –> 00:12:55,600
we look at the whole population thing,
407
00:12:55,600 –> 00:12:56,000
you know,
408
00:12:56,080 –> 00:12:57,520
I mean, and again,
409
00:12:57,520 –> 00:12:59,440
you say people don’t can’t do math.
410
00:12:59,480 –> 00:13:00,640
I’m no mathematician,
411
00:13:00,840 –> 00:13:03,200
but we’re not taking into consideration that 40,000
412
00:13:03,200 –> 00:13:04,880
people moved out of the city.
413
00:13:04,960 –> 00:13:06,320
You’re giving the debate away.
414
00:13:06,320 –> 00:13:06,960
No, I’m not.
415
00:13:06,960 –> 00:13:08,160
I’m just saying people,
416
00:13:08,400 –> 00:13:09,680
when you drive through,
417
00:13:10,160 –> 00:13:10,480
all right,
418
00:13:10,480 –> 00:13:11,040
go ahead.
419
00:13:12,400 –> 00:13:13,120
No, go ahead.
420
00:13:13,520 –> 00:13:15,040
No, I’m just saying for me,
421
00:13:15,040 –> 00:13:15,360
you know,
422
00:13:15,360 –> 00:13:17,360
every time I’m driving through the city,
423
00:13:17,800 –> 00:13:18,920
whether they’re neighborhoods,
424
00:13:18,920 –> 00:13:19,760
whether it’s Midtown,
425
00:13:19,760 –> 00:13:21,440
I went through Midtown yesterday when I come through
426
00:13:21,440 –> 00:13:21,960
downtown,
427
00:13:22,160 –> 00:13:23,840
there are no people here.
428
00:13:24,120 –> 00:13:24,640
They’re not,
429
00:13:24,640 –> 00:13:25,680
there are no people here.
430
00:13:25,680 –> 00:13:28,960
So I don’t care how you manipulate numbers or how you
431
00:13:28,960 –> 00:13:30,080
control the narrative.
432
00:13:30,560 –> 00:13:32,160
I see this every day.
433
00:13:32,160 –> 00:13:34,680
And unless there’s a special event where we keep showing
434
00:13:34,680 –> 00:13:37,200
these pictures from the NFL draft,
435
00:13:37,760 –> 00:13:38,800
where are the people?
436
00:13:39,280 –> 00:13:41,680
And we don’t have a city where people want to be here.
437
00:13:41,680 –> 00:13:44,720
The quality of life does not extend that courtesy.
438
00:13:45,480 –> 00:13:48,200
There’s a big commercial real estate developer taking
439
00:13:48,200 –> 00:13:50,800
a bunch of Chinese businessmen around.
440
00:13:50,960 –> 00:13:53,120
They’re looking for property a bit ago.
441
00:13:54,080 –> 00:13:55,960
And they said,
442
00:13:55,960 –> 00:13:56,720
98% occupied.
443
00:13:57,560 –> 00:13:58,480
Where’s other people?
444
00:13:59,280 –> 00:14:00,320
That’s what they,
445
00:14:00,400 –> 00:14:01,680
you can’t fool a business,
446
00:14:01,680 –> 00:14:02,000
man.
447
00:14:02,480 –> 00:14:03,040
You know what I mean?
448
00:14:03,040 –> 00:14:05,280
But the businessmen here are getting rich and everyone
449
00:14:05,280 –> 00:14:06,120
else getting children.
450
00:14:06,880 –> 00:14:07,600
You know what I mean?
451
00:14:07,600 –> 00:14:08,000
So
452
00:14:10,280 –> 00:14:12,320
When you give an interview and you’re talking about
453
00:14:12,400 –> 00:14:13,840
the people of the community,
454
00:14:13,840 –> 00:14:16,080
you wouldn’t live amongst them.
455
00:14:16,320 –> 00:14:17,240
For 30 years,
456
00:14:17,240 –> 00:14:18,480
you wouldn’t live amongst them.
457
00:14:18,640 –> 00:14:20,400
So what can you possibly know?
458
00:14:20,480 –> 00:14:22,400
Okay, you have a big mega church.
459
00:14:22,720 –> 00:14:23,200
That’s cool.
460
00:14:23,520 –> 00:14:24,600
And you love your pastor.
461
00:14:24,600 –> 00:14:25,440
I love my priest.
462
00:14:25,680 –> 00:14:26,160
That’s cool.
463
00:14:26,200 –> 00:14:27,840
I don’t want my priest being my mayor.
464
00:14:27,840 –> 00:14:28,040
No.
465
00:14:28,160 –> 00:14:29,760
Because he would admit that to you,
466
00:14:29,840 –> 00:14:30,240
right?
467
00:14:30,480 –> 00:14:32,960
So you have a big church in Detroit,
468
00:14:33,040 –> 00:14:35,400
but you’ve got a big church in Macomb and you’ve got
469
00:14:35,400 –> 00:14:36,560
a big church in Northville.
470
00:14:37,080 –> 00:14:39,760
And you’ve got a really big fucking house up in Pumpkin
471
00:14:39,760 –> 00:14:40,560
Patsville.
472
00:14:41,120 –> 00:14:41,320
Wow.
473
00:14:42,400 –> 00:14:44,400
So we’ll be back right after this.
474
00:14:44,480 –> 00:14:45,240
I’m Grace Karos,
475
00:14:45,320 –> 00:14:47,560
and I’m third generation of American Coney Island.
476
00:14:48,000 –> 00:14:49,680
People say Detroit’s A comeback city.
477
00:14:49,680 –> 00:14:50,520
I say, where you been?
478
00:14:50,520 –> 00:14:52,240
We’ve been here for over 100 years.
479
00:14:52,560 –> 00:14:54,560
My family’s been here on the same corner,
480
00:14:54,720 –> 00:14:57,960
serving our famous proprietary American Coney Island
481
00:14:57,960 –> 00:14:58,280
hot dog.
482
00:14:58,960 –> 00:14:59,720
So like always,
483
00:14:59,720 –> 00:15:00,800
we’re keeping things fresh,
484
00:15:01,000 –> 00:15:02,240
updated, and new.
485
00:15:04,600 –> 00:15:06,320
We’d love to have you come downtown and visit us,
486
00:15:06,400 –> 00:15:07,200
but if you can’t,
487
00:15:07,280 –> 00:15:09,520
you can always go to AmericanConeyIsland.com,
488
00:15:09,520 –> 00:15:10,400
order a Coney kit,
489
00:15:10,400 –> 00:15:12,080
get it delivered fresh right to your door.
490
00:15:14,080 –> 00:15:14,520
Well, you know,
491
00:15:14,520 –> 00:15:15,200
when it rains,
492
00:15:15,200 –> 00:15:16,040
the power goes out,
493
00:15:16,040 –> 00:15:17,360
and when the power goes out,
494
00:15:17,360 –> 00:15:18,280
the internet goes out.
495
00:15:18,280 –> 00:15:19,360
When the internet goes out,
496
00:15:19,360 –> 00:15:22,560
I call my friend Matt and Bernie at XG Service Group.
497
00:15:22,720 –> 00:15:24,560
Look at Bernie here on his hands and knees,
498
00:15:24,800 –> 00:15:26,080
giving it everything he’s got.
499
00:15:26,640 –> 00:15:27,840
Look at that man crack.
500
00:15:28,160 –> 00:15:29,040
So busy.
501
00:15:29,680 –> 00:15:30,720
He forgot to wear a belt.
502
00:15:30,720 –> 00:15:32,800
There’s Matt right there getting the board together.
503
00:15:32,800 –> 00:15:35,520
That’s 734-245-4100.
504
00:15:35,520 –> 00:15:38,480
If you need Matt and Bernie to come take care of your
505
00:15:38,480 –> 00:15:39,280
voice over internet,
506
00:15:39,520 –> 00:15:40,640
your security cameras,
507
00:15:40,880 –> 00:15:42,480
off-campus access control,
508
00:15:42,720 –> 00:15:45,120
Wi-Fi and cameras for homes and business,
509
00:15:45,120 –> 00:15:46,240
they’ll design it for you.
510
00:15:46,480 –> 00:15:47,320
You got restaurants,
511
00:15:47,320 –> 00:15:48,520
they do drive-through systems,
512
00:15:48,520 –> 00:15:50,320
railroad cameras for public safety.
513
00:15:50,480 –> 00:15:53,760
Total wireless camera systems for your home and business.
514
00:15:54,000 –> 00:15:54,480
Yeah, that’s right.
515
00:15:54,480 –> 00:15:58,200
Call XG Services at 734-245-4100.
516
00:15:58,400 –> 00:15:59,560
So did you guys see
517
00:15:59,640 –> 00:16:01,360
The news, you know,
518
00:16:01,440 –> 00:16:02,800
basically we,
519
00:16:02,920 –> 00:16:03,760
on this program,
520
00:16:04,080 –> 00:16:09,200
we only do news that we’ve come up with or someone
521
00:16:09,200 –> 00:16:10,160
else has come up with.
522
00:16:10,240 –> 00:16:12,360
We have them on directly or you’re the newsmaker.
523
00:16:12,360 –> 00:16:12,760
That’s it.
524
00:16:12,760 –> 00:16:13,440
That’s all we do.
525
00:16:13,520 –> 00:16:16,560
So why am I going to talk about Andrew Cuomo now being
526
00:16:16,560 –> 00:16:19,320
under federal investigation for lying to Congress
527
00:16:19,320 –> 00:16:20,440
about the nursing home response?
528
00:16:20,800 –> 00:16:23,040
Well, Cuomo’s a friend of the show,
529
00:16:23,040 –> 00:16:23,840
number one.
530
00:16:24,400 –> 00:16:26,160
And he’s a friend of Whitmer’s #2,
531
00:16:26,160 –> 00:16:27,520
even though she won’t admit it.
532
00:16:27,920 –> 00:16:30,040
I don’t have a relationship with the guy.
533
00:16:30,160 –> 00:16:33,440
Even though they’re putting out press statements about
534
00:16:34,000 –> 00:16:36,280
the nursing home response when back in what,
535
00:16:36,280 –> 00:16:41,880
2020, Trump’s Department of Justice asked Cuomo and
536
00:16:41,880 –> 00:16:46,080
Whitmer and three other Democratic
537
00:16:46,680 –> 00:16:48,720
the governors about the response to the nursing home.
538
00:16:48,960 –> 00:16:51,040
They basically all took sick people and put them in
539
00:16:51,040 –> 00:16:51,840
with healthy people,
540
00:16:51,880 –> 00:16:53,520
which sounds so stupid now.
541
00:16:53,720 –> 00:16:54,720
Cross-contamination.
542
00:16:54,720 –> 00:16:55,600
It’s ridiculous.
543
00:16:55,760 –> 00:16:58,360
We shut everything down to keep COVID away from them,
544
00:16:58,360 –> 00:17:00,320
except when we put COVID people inside.
545
00:17:01,200 –> 00:17:01,560
All right,
546
00:17:01,560 –> 00:17:04,080
well, his ass is grass,
547
00:17:04,080 –> 00:17:04,320
right?
548
00:17:04,320 –> 00:17:05,120
Maybe it’s political.
549
00:17:05,120 –> 00:17:06,360
He’s running for the mayor of New York,
550
00:17:06,720 –> 00:17:11,840
but he got rung up for lying to Congress because they
551
00:17:11,840 –> 00:17:13,280
hauled him in for testimony,
552
00:17:13,600 –> 00:17:13,960
right?
553
00:17:15,280 –> 00:17:18,920
How come Whitmer’s never been called up anywhere to
554
00:17:18,960 –> 00:17:21,200
testify about her response to these nursing homes?
555
00:17:22,040 –> 00:17:22,800
It’s a good question.
556
00:17:22,800 –> 00:17:24,240
It just doesn’t make sense.
557
00:17:24,280 –> 00:17:27,240
And when you look at the 2022 election,
558
00:17:27,240 –> 00:17:29,520
right, the first time voters got a look at her,
559
00:17:30,560 –> 00:17:31,360
she was going to win.
560
00:17:31,840 –> 00:17:33,880
She had the other incumbents on her side.
561
00:17:33,880 –> 00:17:35,120
She had ballot measures.
562
00:17:35,360 –> 00:17:37,920
There are six reasons for a Democrat to vote for her.
563
00:17:38,240 –> 00:17:42,440
So between her never really getting her comeuppance
564
00:17:42,440 –> 00:17:43,280
from voters
565
00:17:43,640 –> 00:17:46,080
and then never really being questioned for her COVID
566
00:17:46,080 –> 00:17:46,360
response,
567
00:17:46,360 –> 00:17:48,320
even with Trump in the White House twice,
568
00:17:49,200 –> 00:17:51,120
it just seems like she’s skating on everything.
569
00:17:51,120 –> 00:17:54,160
And the only chance to get her will be at the voting
570
00:17:54,160 –> 00:17:55,360
booth in 2028.
571
00:17:55,920 –> 00:18:00,120
Or do people just figure Michigan is just so irrelevant?
572
00:18:00,120 –> 00:18:01,040
It just doesn’t matter.
573
00:18:01,040 –> 00:18:01,800
That’s what I’m saying,
574
00:18:01,840 –> 00:18:02,920
that it just doesn’t matter.
575
00:18:02,920 –> 00:18:04,160
I mean, we continue to drop.
576
00:18:04,400 –> 00:18:05,600
I think our reading level is,
577
00:18:05,680 –> 00:18:05,920
you know,
578
00:18:05,920 –> 00:18:07,120
below that of Mississippi.
579
00:18:07,120 –> 00:18:07,960
I mean, we’ve got all the,
580
00:18:07,960 –> 00:18:08,120
you know,
581
00:18:08,120 –> 00:18:09,240
our population is dropping.
582
00:18:09,240 –> 00:18:09,680
People are,
583
00:18:09,680 –> 00:18:10,160
so they’re just,
584
00:18:10,400 –> 00:18:10,720
you know,
585
00:18:11,280 –> 00:18:11,680
it’s just,
586
00:18:12,280 –> 00:18:13,920
Because they’re county legals now.
587
00:18:14,520 –> 00:18:15,200
Okay, well,
588
00:18:15,200 –> 00:18:16,080
all right.
589
00:18:16,080 –> 00:18:18,960
But three of our candidates for governor,
590
00:18:19,040 –> 00:18:20,240
including Mike Duggan,
591
00:18:20,560 –> 00:18:22,720
are talking about the Mississippi miracle and how
592
00:18:22,720 –> 00:18:25,120
kids down there are reading better than kids up here.
593
00:18:25,240 –> 00:18:25,360
Yeah.
594
00:18:25,920 –> 00:18:26,880
The 10 years ago,
595
00:18:26,880 –> 00:18:29,040
we would have known to be embarrassed by this.
596
00:18:29,800 –> 00:18:31,280
And that’s been that way for a long time.
597
00:18:31,280 –> 00:18:33,440
Nobody has said anything as we continue to battle that
598
00:18:33,440 –> 00:18:34,240
illiteracy rate.
599
00:18:34,720 –> 00:18:36,840
The guy that wrote you in the New York Times are reading
600
00:18:36,840 –> 00:18:37,520
this morning about,
601
00:18:37,520 –> 00:18:37,680
you know,
602
00:18:39,189 –> 00:18:40,469
The inside baseball,
603
00:18:40,469 –> 00:18:43,629
the politics of charging Cuomo because he’s now the
604
00:18:43,629 –> 00:18:45,429
front runner for the mayor of New York.
605
00:18:45,469 –> 00:18:49,429
And it’s written by some dipshit named Devin Barrett.
606
00:18:49,429 –> 00:18:51,509
I think I remember him from back in the day in New
607
00:18:51,509 –> 00:18:53,989
York, but what a dipshit,
608
00:18:53,989 –> 00:18:54,309
you know,
609
00:18:54,709 –> 00:18:55,909
looking at his bio.
610
00:18:56,629 –> 00:18:57,989
Oh, there’s all my prizes.
611
00:18:57,989 –> 00:19:00,349
I was part of a team that won the Pulitzer in 2018
612
00:19:00,349 –> 00:19:01,029
and he moves on.
613
00:19:03,509 –> 00:19:05,349
You won the Pulitzer for what?
614
00:19:05,349 –> 00:19:06,789
So now you got to deep Google it.
615
00:19:07,669 –> 00:19:08,629
The Russia hoax.
616
00:19:09,829 –> 00:19:10,949
He wants the Pulitzer,
617
00:19:10,949 –> 00:19:12,709
but you don’t want to give it back.
618
00:19:12,949 –> 00:19:13,109
You know,
619
00:19:13,109 –> 00:19:14,269
this is what we’re dealing with.
620
00:19:14,469 –> 00:19:17,749
So these are our people.
621
00:19:17,749 –> 00:19:18,069
Where are they?
622
00:19:18,069 –> 00:19:18,469
Where are you?
623
00:19:18,509 –> 00:19:18,909
Where are they?
624
00:19:18,909 –> 00:19:20,149
Here they are.
625
00:19:20,229 –> 00:19:20,629
They’re here.
626
00:19:24,869 –> 00:19:28,069
In the memory of Brenda Rimson,
627
00:19:28,949 –> 00:19:32,229
in the memory of Clarence Orville Billet,
628
00:19:32,789 –> 00:19:35,269
who died in the nursing homes and were never counted
629
00:19:35,269 –> 00:19:37,629
and hauled around at the end of their life drowning
630
00:19:37,629 –> 00:19:39,749
on their own fluids like bags of laundry.
631
00:19:39,989 –> 00:19:42,149
No fucking way.
632
00:19:42,149 –> 00:19:42,949
You’re answering.
633
00:19:42,949 –> 00:19:46,389
So I got an answer today from a Freedom of Information
634
00:19:46,389 –> 00:19:47,189
Act request.
635
00:19:47,669 –> 00:19:50,549
I had to put it through the attorney general because
636
00:19:50,789 –> 00:19:52,829
you’re not allowed to FOIA the governor in this state.
637
00:19:52,829 –> 00:19:55,269
The only state in the union where the executive branch
638
00:19:55,509 –> 00:19:55,909
is
639
00:19:57,349 –> 00:20:00,549
Is that the transparency she promised?
640
00:20:00,549 –> 00:20:01,589
Yeah, that’s exact.
641
00:20:01,589 –> 00:20:02,309
Thank you for that.
642
00:20:02,629 –> 00:20:03,189
And by the way,
643
00:20:03,189 –> 00:20:06,869
Whitmer also said that she would fulfill FOIA requests
644
00:20:06,869 –> 00:20:08,949
as if the law did apply.
645
00:20:10,069 –> 00:20:11,429
Everyone quoted her saying that,
646
00:20:12,309 –> 00:20:14,869
and that claim was made without evidence because that’s
647
00:20:14,869 –> 00:20:15,669
not what happened,
648
00:20:15,669 –> 00:20:16,869
and that’s not what’s happening.
649
00:20:16,949 –> 00:20:17,709
But you were saying.
650
00:20:17,709 –> 00:20:18,549
It’s more bullshit.
651
00:20:19,429 –> 00:20:22,469
So I got my answer this morning.
652
00:20:23,429 –> 00:20:24,349
That will cost you
653
00:20:26,469 –> 00:20:29,909
$3,100 for you to even give me your response to the
654
00:20:29,909 –> 00:20:30,869
federal government,
655
00:20:31,029 –> 00:20:32,789
because I already know what’s in there.
656
00:20:32,949 –> 00:20:36,109
But you don’t want me to see your communications back
657
00:20:36,109 –> 00:20:36,549
and forth,
658
00:20:36,629 –> 00:20:38,149
which you’re going to strip out anyway.
659
00:20:38,149 –> 00:20:39,269
I already know this game.
660
00:20:39,469 –> 00:20:40,469
I already know their game.
661
00:20:40,869 –> 00:20:41,989
So I’m thinking,
662
00:20:42,309 –> 00:20:42,949
GoFundMe?
663
00:20:43,749 –> 00:20:45,269
Do we do a GoFundMe?
664
00:20:45,509 –> 00:20:49,389
What did you do in the nursing homes account?
665
00:20:49,389 –> 00:20:50,549
I’ll say yeah.
666
00:20:50,989 –> 00:20:52,149
Because I can’t pay for it,
667
00:20:52,149 –> 00:20:52,629
you know.
668
00:20:54,069 –> 00:20:55,949
Last time I did for him out of my pocket,
669
00:20:55,949 –> 00:20:57,029
it cost me over $1000.
670
00:20:57,029 –> 00:20:59,989
Remember the Michigan State shooter?
671
00:21:00,949 –> 00:21:03,029
Shot all those kids up and the guy that shot the kids
672
00:21:03,029 –> 00:21:07,829
up was on probation for a felony gun charge.
673
00:21:08,469 –> 00:21:11,869
And the neighbors were complaining that he was in
674
00:21:11,869 –> 00:21:13,709
the backyard while he was on probation,
675
00:21:13,709 –> 00:21:16,189
smoking weed and thumbing his nose at the court,
676
00:21:16,389 –> 00:21:18,509
that he was taking pot shots in the backyard.
677
00:21:19,469 –> 00:21:22,229
And here’s what the chief of police said back then.
678
00:21:22,909 –> 00:21:24,589
I’d like to clear up just a few things,
679
00:21:24,589 –> 00:21:29,149
a few topics of misinformation that we have been asked
680
00:21:29,149 –> 00:21:33,669
about, about either the accused McRae or the address,
681
00:21:33,869 –> 00:21:35,949
the Lansing address on House Street in the city of
682
00:21:35,949 –> 00:21:39,909
Lansing. LPD has not responded to any welfare checks
683
00:21:40,069 –> 00:21:40,949
for Anthony McRae.
684
00:21:42,789 –> 00:21:44,909
There was a welfare check at the address on House
685
00:21:44,909 –> 00:21:46,069
Street on February 5th,
686
00:21:46,069 –> 00:21:48,269
but it was not related to the accused.
687
00:21:49,149 –> 00:21:50,629
And LPD has not been called
688
00:21:51,029 –> 00:21:53,189
in any way to any shots fired at this address?
689
00:21:54,629 –> 00:21:55,549
Well, you know,
690
00:21:55,589 –> 00:21:56,989
after a couple of trips out there,
691
00:21:56,989 –> 00:22:00,309
a lot of interviews and 1000 plus dollars,
692
00:22:01,749 –> 00:22:02,709
yeah, there was.
693
00:22:03,189 –> 00:22:03,829
Yeah, there was.
694
00:22:03,829 –> 00:22:04,109
There was a,
695
00:22:04,389 –> 00:22:08,309
it’s even coded shots fired from the neighbor and
696
00:22:08,309 –> 00:22:10,389
the police went down to the end where it’s a dead
697
00:22:10,389 –> 00:22:11,589
end, turned around,
698
00:22:11,589 –> 00:22:13,109
never stopped in at the neighbor.
699
00:22:13,269 –> 00:22:14,069
And they say,
700
00:22:15,269 –> 00:22:17,509
the call said it came from at the dead end,
701
00:22:17,509 –> 00:22:19,109
which is where McRae lived.
702
00:22:19,869 –> 00:22:22,869
He lied. Nestle promised an investigation,
703
00:22:22,869 –> 00:22:23,749
didn’t get that.
704
00:22:23,829 –> 00:22:27,029
This was being light on gun laws,
705
00:22:27,669 –> 00:22:29,749
right? We don’t need any gun laws.
706
00:22:30,069 –> 00:22:30,949
We got gun laws.
707
00:22:30,949 –> 00:22:33,269
You want to enforce them or you want to let a dude
708
00:22:33,589 –> 00:22:37,669
who’s off his rocker take pot shots from the backyard
709
00:22:37,789 –> 00:22:38,709
and then lie to us.
710
00:22:38,869 –> 00:22:40,629
You never got your justice.
711
00:22:41,189 –> 00:22:42,709
Flint never got its justice.
712
00:22:42,869 –> 00:22:44,869
The nursing home people never got their justice.
713
00:22:44,949 –> 00:22:47,429
The people of the city didn’t get their justice and
714
00:22:47,429 –> 00:22:48,309
they deserve it.
715
00:22:49,069 –> 00:22:51,589
Enough. We got a debate tomorrow night,
716
00:22:51,589 –> 00:22:52,069
Thursday,
717
00:22:52,389 –> 00:22:55,429
6:00 at the Wayne County Community College.
718
00:22:55,429 –> 00:22:56,709
Charlie, don’t call it a debate.
719
00:22:56,709 –> 00:22:57,949
Don’t call it a debate.
720
00:22:57,989 –> 00:22:58,989
You call it a debate.
721
00:22:59,029 –> 00:22:59,549
Well, you know,
722
00:22:59,549 –> 00:23:03,309
it’s a shorthand for deep and riveting and pointed
723
00:23:03,309 –> 00:23:03,949
conversation.
724
00:23:04,549 –> 00:23:07,349
We’re going to have a substantive discussion with
725
00:23:07,349 –> 00:23:08,629
the candidates that want to be made.
726
00:23:08,629 –> 00:23:10,709
I don’t know if I show up to a substantive discussion.
727
00:23:10,709 –> 00:23:12,749
Let me call it a debate and then we’ll just do the
728
00:23:12,789 –> 00:23:14,309
substantive discussion.
729
00:23:14,469 –> 00:23:15,029
We’ll fool them.
730
00:23:15,189 –> 00:23:16,629
Give them what they think they want.
731
00:23:16,629 –> 00:23:18,109
No, because we don’t do BS.
732
00:23:18,109 –> 00:23:18,749
We’re being honest.
733
00:23:19,189 –> 00:23:19,909
I was like,
734
00:23:19,909 –> 00:23:20,109
you know,
735
00:23:20,109 –> 00:23:23,029
it’s sort of like calling Snow White the redo a horror
736
00:23:23,029 –> 00:23:23,669
story. Ooh,
737
00:23:23,829 –> 00:23:24,789
it’s like,
738
00:23:25,269 –> 00:23:25,669
you know.
739
00:23:26,909 –> 00:23:28,349
Okay. Nightmare on 13th Street.
740
00:23:28,349 –> 00:23:28,789
Was that it?
741
00:23:29,429 –> 00:23:29,909
Was that right?
742
00:23:30,389 –> 00:23:31,349
Nightmare on 13th Street?
743
00:23:31,709 –> 00:23:32,229
Elm Street.
744
00:23:32,549 –> 00:23:33,229
Elm Street.
745
00:23:33,749 –> 00:23:34,629
On Friday the 13th.
746
00:23:34,629 –> 00:23:34,989
There you go.
747
00:23:36,509 –> 00:23:38,229
Yeah. So it’s something like that.
748
00:23:38,869 –> 00:23:39,909
Be back right after this.
749
00:23:40,829 –> 00:23:41,829
You know your teeth can’t heal,
750
00:23:41,829 –> 00:23:43,109
but the stock market can.
751
00:23:43,109 –> 00:23:44,109
That’s just a fact.
752
00:23:44,389 –> 00:23:46,469
The market roller coaster is making you grind your
753
00:23:46,469 –> 00:23:52,389
teeth. Call or text my friend Luke Nowacki at 248-663-4748.
754
00:23:52,709 –> 00:23:54,829
We’re all hanging on to this ride like Gayle King
755
00:23:54,829 –> 00:23:55,749
and Katy Perry.
756
00:23:55,909 –> 00:23:57,269
Just hang on to your flower.
757
00:23:57,509 –> 00:23:59,709
Some people are saying that the earth will be better
758
00:23:59,709 –> 00:24:00,949
when this is all over.
759
00:24:01,589 –> 00:24:02,469
Luke Nowacki,

Are you an aging senior wondering where you’ll end
762

up? Are you a son or a daughter wishing your mom or
763
00:24:09,829 –> 00:24:11,109
dad lived closer to home?
764
00:24:11,629 –> 00:24:14,869
Are you a caregiver with good heart and good character,
765
00:24:14,869 –> 00:24:17,029
but you feel stuck in a dead-end job?
766
00:24:17,469 –> 00:24:20,309

767
00:24:20,309 –> 00:24:23,189
estate investment within a fast-growing market?

we’re back.
774
00:24:40,229 –> 00:24:42,109
Now, speaking of dipshit media,
775
00:24:42,109 –> 00:24:43,389
I just got to do this before we go,
776
00:24:43,389 –> 00:24:44,869
because we got a lot to do,
777
00:24:45,269 –> 00:24:45,669
don’t we?
778
00:24:45,829 –> 00:24:46,549
Oh, we do.
779
00:24:46,749 –> 00:24:48,389
But I’m so looking forward to this.
780
00:24:49,029 –> 00:24:50,869
And I hope Pastor Kinloch,
781
00:24:51,109 –> 00:24:51,429
you know,
782
00:24:52,029 –> 00:24:53,269
You can watch it on live stream,
783
00:24:53,429 –> 00:24:55,269
which will be on X.
784
00:24:55,269 –> 00:24:56,789
X has been promoting this for us.
785
00:24:56,789 –> 00:24:58,709
Remember that the head of X News?
786
00:24:59,109 –> 00:24:59,549
They’re in.
787
00:24:59,549 –> 00:25:00,309
It’s starting to roll,
788
00:25:00,309 –> 00:25:01,189
man. It’s starting to roll.
789
00:25:01,189 –> 00:25:04,069
Okay. So you can watch it on X at Charlie LaDuff,
790
00:25:04,349 –> 00:25:07,589
on X at Mitch underscore Enjoyer.
791
00:25:08,149 –> 00:25:10,789
You can watch it on YouTube where?
792
00:25:12,109 –> 00:25:12,949
No BS News Hour.
793
00:25:12,949 –> 00:25:14,069
No BS News Hour.
794
00:25:14,069 –> 00:25:15,789
You can watch it on the Enjoyer.
795
00:25:15,789 –> 00:25:16,269
And Facebook.
796
00:25:17,189 –> 00:25:19,749
And it’s also going to air as an episode of the Enjoyer
797
00:25:19,749 –> 00:25:20,869
podcast. Okay.
798
00:25:21,429 –> 00:25:21,949
It is? Yeah.
799
00:25:22,069 –> 00:25:24,629
Okay, is it going to be live on the Enjoyers webpage?
800
00:25:25,309 –> 00:25:25,909
On our Twitter,
801
00:25:26,389 –> 00:25:26,949
yeah. On Twitter,
802
00:25:26,949 –> 00:25:30,629
okay. And on mine at Charlie LaDuff,
803
00:25:31,109 –> 00:25:31,749
Facebook.
804
00:25:31,869 –> 00:25:33,109
Okay, so it’s a lot of places,
805
00:25:33,429 –> 00:25:34,549
but I would just come.
806
00:25:34,869 –> 00:25:36,389
Yeah, you got to be there.
807
00:25:36,429 –> 00:25:37,549
So it’s the Pastor Kinloch.
808
00:25:37,589 –> 00:25:39,829
If Pastor Kinloch has a change of heart and finds
809
00:25:39,829 –> 00:25:41,509
himself in town and able,
810
00:25:42,069 –> 00:25:42,269
you know,
811
00:25:42,269 –> 00:25:43,309
he’s available to do this.
812
00:25:43,309 –> 00:25:43,829
It would be great.
813
00:25:43,829 –> 00:25:44,909
I’d love to hear his voice.
814
00:25:44,949 –> 00:25:47,549
Because I anticipated that he would be there.
815
00:25:47,549 –> 00:25:49,629
I had no reason not to because we would not have put
816
00:25:49,629 –> 00:25:51,309
his picture on the materials.
817
00:25:51,389 –> 00:25:55,229
We want to talk to the person who’s going to be the
818
00:25:55,229 –> 00:25:56,429
next mayor of Detroit.
819
00:26:00,069 –> 00:26:00,869
Is that, what is that,
820
00:26:00,869 –> 00:26:03,589
Charlie? On Eagle’s wings.
821
00:26:05,349 –> 00:26:06,269
Are you singing that,
822
00:26:06,349 –> 00:26:07,509
Mark? Go ahead,
823
00:26:07,509 –> 00:26:08,669
Mark. Eagle’s wings,
824
00:26:09,189 –> 00:26:11,669
where you are now.
825
00:26:18,949 –> 00:26:23,109
Ken is over there shaking his head.
826
00:26:24,469 –> 00:26:26,549
Okay, the dipshit media here.
827
00:26:26,549 –> 00:26:30,389
Okay, Joe Biden was off his rocker the whole fucking
828
00:26:30,389 –> 00:26:31,029
time, right?
829
00:26:31,029 –> 00:26:31,589
The guys,
830
00:26:32,069 –> 00:26:34,549
he lost the lightning years ago.
831
00:26:35,349 –> 00:26:36,949
And now the books come out.
832
00:26:37,189 –> 00:26:38,669
Now the hurt tape comes out.
833
00:26:38,669 –> 00:26:39,749
And in between that,
834
00:26:40,069 –> 00:26:42,309
Joe miraculously has bone cancer.
835
00:26:42,989 –> 00:26:43,789
from his prostate,
836
00:26:44,069 –> 00:26:46,069
right? And so we should forget about it all.
837
00:26:46,629 –> 00:26:47,589
I’m not forgetting about,
838
00:26:47,589 –> 00:26:49,589
look, it’s not cancer of the brain,
839
00:26:50,149 –> 00:26:53,189
okay? It’s not cancer of the brain.
840
00:26:54,149 –> 00:26:59,429
Two, you can live 10 years with that malady.
841
00:26:59,429 –> 00:27:00,149
You really can.
842
00:27:00,149 –> 00:27:02,709
And the reason that you don’t test people over 70
843
00:27:03,029 –> 00:27:05,229
in their prostate and their ball sack and everything
844
00:27:05,229 –> 00:27:08,709
is because over half of men at that time have cancer
845
00:27:08,709 –> 00:27:11,029
there. And it’s manageable.
846
00:27:11,029 –> 00:27:12,149
It’s
847
00:27:12,989 –> 00:27:13,589
Not benign,
848
00:27:13,589 –> 00:27:16,269
but it’s not rabidly malignant.
849
00:27:16,869 –> 00:27:18,789
Right. So that’s why they don’t do it.
850
00:27:18,949 –> 00:27:20,789
But we’re fed this.
851
00:27:21,429 –> 00:27:23,949
Well, Jake Tapper and everybody else is coming out
852
00:27:23,949 –> 00:27:24,389
and saying,
853
00:27:24,469 –> 00:27:25,669
they really fooled us.
854
00:27:25,749 –> 00:27:27,269
They pulled the wool on us.
855
00:27:27,429 –> 00:27:28,789
What do you,
856
00:27:28,869 –> 00:27:29,469
why did 80%
857
00:27:29,469 –> 00:27:33,109
of Americans say the guy’s nuts and too infirm and
858
00:27:33,109 –> 00:27:35,509
like the people standing next to him can’t see it?
859
00:27:35,669 –> 00:27:35,909
You know,
860
00:27:35,909 –> 00:27:38,549
when journalists tell you they don’t know things,
861
00:27:38,549 –> 00:27:39,029
listen,
862
00:27:40,029 –> 00:27:42,709
It is not a journalistic instinct to talk about what
863
00:27:42,709 –> 00:27:43,269
I don’t know.
864
00:27:43,269 –> 00:27:45,349
I was never going around volunteering that.
865
00:27:45,909 –> 00:27:47,749
I wanted to tell you what I did know.
866
00:27:47,749 –> 00:27:49,269
I could tell you what I’m working on.
867
00:27:49,669 –> 00:27:50,709
But to sit up here and say,
868
00:27:50,709 –> 00:27:51,429
oh my God,
869
00:27:51,429 –> 00:27:52,229
you fooled me.
870
00:27:53,189 –> 00:27:54,469
That would never happen.
871
00:27:54,749 –> 00:27:55,389
And it should happen.
872
00:27:55,389 –> 00:27:56,229
And if you fooled me,
873
00:27:56,229 –> 00:27:57,709
it was still my fault for
874
00:27:57,829 –> 00:27:58,629
getting fooled.
875
00:27:58,629 –> 00:28:02,149
It was not your fault for trying it or doing it.
876
00:28:02,549 –> 00:28:06,149
And so the steel man case for Jake Tapper is that
877
00:28:06,149 –> 00:28:09,109
I was believing every word the Biden people said and
878
00:28:09,109 –> 00:28:09,909
they lied.
879
00:28:10,509 –> 00:28:11,429
What I would ask is,
880
00:28:11,429 –> 00:28:13,509
why the hell were you believing every word anyone
881
00:28:13,509 –> 00:28:14,069
said? But,
882
00:28:14,069 –> 00:28:14,469
you know,
883
00:28:14,469 –> 00:28:16,309
people, they don’t question,
884
00:28:16,309 –> 00:28:17,109
they don’t ask.
885
00:28:17,109 –> 00:28:18,989
I mean, you’re looking at this guy and his cognitive
886
00:28:18,989 –> 00:28:19,869
decline. I mean,
887
00:28:19,869 –> 00:28:20,869
he’s obviously,
888
00:28:21,029 –> 00:28:22,389
there’s something wrong there.
889
00:28:22,629 –> 00:28:24,349
And everybody just kept propping him up.
890
00:28:24,349 –> 00:28:26,869
The average person could see it from watching this
891
00:28:26,869 –> 00:28:27,749
man on TV.
892
00:28:28,269 –> 00:28:30,189
It wasn’t just a debate night.
893
00:28:30,389 –> 00:28:32,629
It was for years and years.
894
00:28:32,869 –> 00:28:33,509
So, I mean,
895
00:28:33,509 –> 00:28:34,869
something was there and nobody…
896
00:28:35,709 –> 00:28:36,149
I don’t know.
897
00:28:36,149 –> 00:28:38,709
I’m not going to call it a deep level of compassion
898
00:28:38,709 –> 00:28:40,949
because that eliminates accountability on the part
899
00:28:40,949 –> 00:28:43,029
of the media and the people that were around him.
900
00:28:43,269 –> 00:28:44,029
His friends,
901
00:28:44,029 –> 00:28:44,789
his family,
902
00:28:45,189 –> 00:28:46,629
his political colleagues.
903
00:28:46,709 –> 00:28:47,869
Nobody said anything.
904
00:28:47,869 –> 00:28:49,709
Put the pitcher Jake Chapper up,
905
00:28:49,709 –> 00:28:50,309
man. Come on,
906
00:28:50,309 –> 00:28:51,469
Marco. Let’s get hit.
907
00:28:51,469 –> 00:28:55,989
There’s Jake Chapper snuggling up to Joe Biden there.
908
00:28:55,989 –> 00:28:57,029
God, I love AI.
909
00:28:57,029 –> 00:28:57,749
No, that’s not.
910
00:28:57,749 –> 00:28:58,949
That’s probably real.
911
00:28:58,949 –> 00:29:00,149
Don’t say that.
912
00:29:04,709 –> 00:29:05,829
But it’s that,
913
00:29:05,829 –> 00:29:08,949
when we talk about the Democrat Media Alliance,
914
00:29:09,269 –> 00:29:10,109
that photo,
915
00:29:10,109 –> 00:29:13,709
I mean, you could do one with the guys at the Detroit
916
00:29:13,709 –> 00:29:14,949
News and Gretchen Whitmer.
917
00:29:15,229 –> 00:29:17,469
They’re trying to do the same thing with Jocelyn Benson.
918
00:29:17,469 –> 00:29:19,269
Now that she’s bottoming out,
919
00:29:19,429 –> 00:29:21,029
they’re going to try to put their angels’
920
00:29:21,029 –> 00:29:22,469
wings around Mike Duggan.
921
00:29:22,789 –> 00:29:24,869
But people have to understand that,
922
00:29:26,629 –> 00:29:30,709
but that means residents are at a disadvantage because
923
00:29:30,709 –> 00:29:31,989
we are being,
924
00:29:31,989 –> 00:29:33,949
we are being subjected to their friendship.
925
00:29:34,029 –> 00:29:37,669
and their admiration of these folks and not their accountability.
926
00:29:38,149 –> 00:29:41,149
And so little of journalism that,
927
00:29:41,149 –> 00:29:42,109
especially in Michigan,
928
00:29:42,109 –> 00:29:45,509
that you read these days is an honest person’s search
929
00:29:45,509 –> 00:29:46,149
for truth.
930
00:29:46,469 –> 00:29:48,949
I’m trying to get to the bottom of these crime numbers
931
00:29:49,109 –> 00:29:52,149
or the budget or what they’re doing is they’re starting
932
00:29:52,149 –> 00:29:55,269
with a narrative and trying to backfill facts into
933
00:29:55,269 –> 00:29:55,909
that narrative.
934
00:29:56,709 –> 00:29:59,589
Now, bringing it back to this specifically,
935
00:30:00,149 –> 00:30:01,429
he bombs the debate,
936
00:30:01,669 –> 00:30:03,349
right? And then a month later,
937
00:30:03,789 –> 00:30:03,909
he
938
00:30:04,109 –> 00:30:05,589
bows out for the good of the party.
939
00:30:05,989 –> 00:30:08,549
He’s still the fucking president for six months.
940
00:30:08,549 –> 00:30:11,189
He’s a week after Trump was shot and didn’t die.
941
00:30:11,189 –> 00:30:13,989
Yeah. Is when Biden chooses to leave politics,
942
00:30:13,989 –> 00:30:15,109
which I thought was interesting.
943
00:30:15,109 –> 00:30:16,549
We got a cabal of like,
944
00:30:19,149 –> 00:30:24,069
plane and blinking and Sullivan running on auto pen.
945
00:30:24,149 –> 00:30:24,869
We didn’t vote for,
946
00:30:24,949 –> 00:30:26,949
we didn’t know it was running the country.
947
00:30:27,349 –> 00:30:30,389
This was actually the Manchurian Candidate scenario
948
00:30:30,389 –> 00:30:31,189
we talked about.
949
00:30:31,189 –> 00:30:33,429
I mean, I remember seeing that play in high school.
950
00:30:33,749 –> 00:30:34,709
We just lived it.
951
00:30:35,149 –> 00:30:36,149
By the grace of God,
952
00:30:36,149 –> 00:30:37,189
we survived it.
953
00:30:37,629 –> 00:30:38,429
But I mean,
954
00:30:38,509 –> 00:30:39,669
when you really think about it,
955
00:30:39,989 –> 00:30:42,229
how much danger we were in as a country,
956
00:30:42,789 –> 00:30:45,589
People talk about Donald Trump was unprecedented.
957
00:30:45,909 –> 00:30:47,829
No, under Joe Biden,
958
00:30:47,829 –> 00:30:49,749
America was unprecedented.
959
00:30:50,229 –> 00:30:51,429
Oh, look at that.
960
00:30:51,549 –> 00:30:52,309
What a turn of phrase.
961
00:30:52,709 –> 00:30:53,349
You came with it.
962
00:30:53,349 –> 00:30:54,469
Were you reading off cue cards?
963
00:30:54,629 –> 00:30:56,269
No cue cards after the…
964
00:30:57,149 –> 00:30:59,749
In-depth conversation tomorrow night.
965
00:31:00,549 –> 00:31:01,589
No cue cards,
966
00:31:02,309 –> 00:31:03,669
no opening statements,
967
00:31:04,069 –> 00:31:05,549
no text messages,
968
00:31:05,549 –> 00:31:08,229
because I have gotten information that a couple of
969
00:31:08,229 –> 00:31:10,589
candidates are getting information from their staff
970
00:31:10,589 –> 00:31:11,309
and they’re doing.
971
00:31:11,349 –> 00:31:12,629
Are you gonna be called us?
972
00:31:12,789 –> 00:31:13,149
Let’s just,
973
00:31:13,349 –> 00:31:14,749
let’s just be real.
974
00:31:15,229 –> 00:31:16,349
Don’t be on the phone with us.
975
00:31:16,349 –> 00:31:17,109
That’s what I’m saying.
976
00:31:17,309 –> 00:31:18,309
Don’t be on the phone with us.
977
00:31:18,309 –> 00:31:19,109
Who you on the phone with?
978
00:31:19,309 –> 00:31:19,749
What’s so,
979
00:31:19,789 –> 00:31:20,749
what’s so important?
980
00:31:20,789 –> 00:31:21,269
Yeah, I mean,
981
00:31:21,429 –> 00:31:23,749
I’d have to foil those communications if the person
982
00:31:23,749 –> 00:31:26,909
wasn’t sitting in a member.
983
00:31:28,029 –> 00:31:29,829
We’re going to pull that shit.
984
00:31:29,829 –> 00:31:32,949
The best thing I recommend is wearing a long ankle-length
985
00:31:32,949 –> 00:31:36,749
skirt so your aide can hide up underneath there when
986
00:31:36,749 –> 00:31:39,189
they got their hand shoved so far up your ass,
987
00:31:39,349 –> 00:31:40,309
they’re puppeting your mouth.
988
00:31:40,669 –> 00:31:41,389
But wear a skirt.
989
00:31:41,389 –> 00:31:42,309
What if it’s a guy?
990
00:31:43,389 –> 00:31:43,989
It’s cool.
991
00:31:45,069 –> 00:31:45,669
That’s cool,
992
00:31:45,669 –> 00:31:48,229
man. What if you want to do?
993
00:31:48,229 –> 00:31:49,189
I used to wear a sarong.
994
00:31:49,429 –> 00:31:50,949
And then it’s a kill.
995
00:31:50,949 –> 00:31:52,789
I did. I went to Southeast Age.
996
00:31:52,789 –> 00:31:53,069
I’m like,
997
00:31:53,069 –> 00:31:53,869
the sarong’s cool.
998
00:31:53,869 –> 00:31:55,669
And then I’m walking around Ann Arbor in a sarong.
999
00:31:55,789 –> 00:31:57,389
What a douchebag.
1000
00:31:57,389 –> 00:32:00,549
And it was winter and I was barefoot.
1001
00:32:01,509 –> 00:32:02,309
Only Charlie.
1002
00:32:03,429 –> 00:32:04,349
I’ll tell you this.
1003
00:32:04,549 –> 00:32:05,589
Let me say this.
1004
00:32:05,909 –> 00:32:07,109
Everybody is.
1005
00:32:07,549 –> 00:32:11,349
extremely interested in the perspective from you and
1006
00:32:11,349 –> 00:32:11,669
from you,
1007
00:32:11,669 –> 00:32:12,469
James. I mean,
1008
00:32:12,469 –> 00:32:13,029
they are.
1009
00:32:13,509 –> 00:32:16,229
And somebody complimented you yesterday.
1010
00:32:16,229 –> 00:32:16,429
You know,
1011
00:32:16,429 –> 00:32:16,789
they were like,
1012
00:32:16,789 –> 00:32:17,549
Charlie, I just,
1013
00:32:17,589 –> 00:32:19,269
I don’t even know which way he’s going,
1014
00:32:19,269 –> 00:32:21,669
but I know he’s coming with facts.
1015
00:32:21,909 –> 00:32:22,469
And they said,
1016
00:32:22,549 –> 00:32:25,029
I have been watching James and I am extremely impressed
1017
00:32:25,029 –> 00:32:26,149
with this level of intellect.
1018
00:32:26,149 –> 00:32:26,389
They said,
1019
00:32:26,389 –> 00:32:27,429
this is going to be a great,
1020
00:32:27,669 –> 00:32:28,789
great discussion.
1021
00:32:28,909 –> 00:32:32,309
But you will not hear questions anywhere else like
1022
00:32:32,309 –> 00:32:33,429
you will hear tomorrow night.
1023
00:32:33,469 –> 00:32:34,789
Yeah, let’s make this clear,
1024
00:32:34,789 –> 00:32:35,109
like,
1025
00:32:36,189 –> 00:32:37,909
This isn’t a show for us.
1026
00:32:38,149 –> 00:32:38,709
No, it’s not.
1027
00:32:38,749 –> 00:32:40,309
We’re going to be a gust,
1028
00:32:40,709 –> 00:32:45,429
sober. We’re there to spark a conversation.
1029
00:32:45,429 –> 00:32:46,149
I don’t drink.
1030
00:32:46,629 –> 00:32:47,389
No, Karen,
1031
00:32:47,829 –> 00:32:49,029
it doesn’t just mean drinking.
1032
00:32:49,269 –> 00:32:49,669
Here, let me.
1033
00:32:49,949 –> 00:32:50,709
I know. I’m kidding,
1034
00:32:50,709 –> 00:32:52,949
Charlie. I’ll send you a note later.
1035
00:32:53,509 –> 00:32:58,349
I had that discussion about seated watermelons.
1036
00:32:58,349 –> 00:32:58,789
I’m good.
1037
00:32:58,949 –> 00:33:01,429
Do you prefer Oxford Dictionary or Webster’s?
1038
00:33:02,389 –> 00:33:04,229
Okay, let me take that out of the Webster.
1039
00:33:04,229 –> 00:33:05,909
Yeah, thank you.
1040
00:33:05,909 –> 00:33:08,029
Okay. Yeah,
1041
00:33:08,069 –> 00:33:08,389
you know,
1042
00:33:08,389 –> 00:33:10,869
this is really is for the people that trade and they
1043
00:33:10,869 –> 00:33:14,229
have a high expectation that something will be said.
1044
00:33:14,229 –> 00:33:15,669
And there are going to be some players in there.
1045
00:33:16,149 –> 00:33:16,869
I’ve got some
1046
00:33:17,429 –> 00:33:19,829
Very interested players who’s going to show up to them.
1047
00:33:19,909 –> 00:33:21,029
And they deserve it,
1048
00:33:21,029 –> 00:33:22,429
Charlie. I’m going to tell you,
1049
00:33:22,549 –> 00:33:24,469
residents have conversations.
1050
00:33:24,549 –> 00:33:28,389
I have gotten so many DMs and messages from people
1051
00:33:28,389 –> 00:33:29,309
saying, ask this,
1052
00:33:29,309 –> 00:33:30,109
what about this?
1053
00:33:30,109 –> 00:33:33,229
And sharing circumstances that they’ve had or experiences
1054
00:33:33,229 –> 00:33:34,789
they’ve had with a lot of the panelists.
1055
00:33:34,949 –> 00:33:35,949
People want answers.
1056
00:33:35,949 –> 00:33:36,669
They’re tired,
1057
00:33:36,669 –> 00:33:37,469
they’re frustrated,
1058
00:33:37,469 –> 00:33:39,829
and they feel left out and they feel apathetic.
1059
00:33:40,069 –> 00:33:43,749
And I don’t want that apathy to translate into voter
1060
00:33:43,749 –> 00:33:46,029
apathy and lack of voting when it’s time.
1061
00:33:46,229 –> 00:33:47,309
Yeah, and this is what the media.
1062
00:33:47,389 –> 00:33:48,149
they used to do,
1063
00:33:49,029 –> 00:33:51,909
is they used to be more the voice of the people.
1064
00:33:52,389 –> 00:33:55,229
As they dealt with the politician,
1065
00:33:55,229 –> 00:33:57,349
they could tell you what the public’s thinking and
1066
00:33:57,349 –> 00:33:59,349
ask the questions that the public might have.
1067
00:33:59,669 –> 00:34:04,669
What they’ve become is instead an explainer of politicians.
1068
00:34:05,269 –> 00:34:07,189
This is what Whitmer means by that.
1069
00:34:07,349 –> 00:34:09,269
This is what Duggan means by that.
1070
00:34:09,829 –> 00:34:11,509
These people have press offices.
1071
00:34:11,509 –> 00:34:13,989
They actually have people they pay to give them advice.
1072
00:34:14,589 –> 00:34:16,629
And they’re not journalists with media badges.
1073
00:34:16,949 –> 00:34:18,789
So if everyone just stays in their lane,
1074
00:34:18,789 –> 00:34:20,629
this is what journalism should look like,
1075
00:34:21,029 –> 00:34:22,469
is a search for truth,
1076
00:34:22,789 –> 00:34:23,589
real time,
1077
00:34:23,829 –> 00:34:24,869
real questions,
1078
00:34:24,949 –> 00:34:26,269
real opportunity for somebody.
1079
00:34:26,269 –> 00:34:27,669
Can’t we call them reporters?
1080
00:34:27,909 –> 00:34:29,029
It’s the journalism.
1081
00:34:30,229 –> 00:34:32,789
I get a Pulitzer Prize in Russia hoax.
1082
00:34:33,509 –> 00:34:35,229
Yeah, we’ll have this conversation.
1083
00:34:35,229 –> 00:34:35,989
There’s more to that,
1084
00:34:35,989 –> 00:34:36,389
but okay.
1085
00:34:36,589 –> 00:34:37,429
Okay, so you know,
1086
00:34:37,429 –> 00:34:38,549
here, here’s reporting.
1087
00:34:39,229 –> 00:34:40,109
Everybody was laughing,
1088
00:34:40,109 –> 00:34:40,869
what a stunt,
1089
00:34:40,869 –> 00:34:42,869
stunt. Now it’s not a stunt.
1090
00:34:43,349 –> 00:34:47,029
Now that we know that Joe’s brain is applesauce,
1091
00:34:47,549 –> 00:34:48,309
and it was,
1092
00:34:48,789 –> 00:34:49,269
all right,
1093
00:34:50,149 –> 00:34:51,029
after the debate,
1094
00:34:51,029 –> 00:34:52,389
before he stepped down,
1095
00:34:52,429 –> 00:34:53,749
what did Joe LeBlanc,
1096
00:34:53,749 –> 00:34:55,109
nursing home Joe and I do?
1097
00:34:55,669 –> 00:34:59,909
We filed in Michigan and the District of Columbia
1098
00:35:00,069 –> 00:35:03,029
for guardianship of Joe Biden,
1099
00:35:03,349 –> 00:35:05,589
citing neglect and abuse.
1100
00:35:05,909 –> 00:35:07,189
Now, here it is.
1101
00:35:07,669 –> 00:35:08,789
Here’s what we saw.
1102
00:35:08,949 –> 00:35:10,709
From 500 miles away,
1103
00:35:11,109 –> 00:35:12,789
I’m not Jay Tapper in bed with him.
1104
00:35:13,429 –> 00:35:14,949
I’m not on Air Force One.
1105
00:35:15,429 –> 00:35:19,189
I’m just five feet from a TV and 500 miles away from
1106
00:35:19,189 –> 00:35:20,309
DC. Here’s what,
1107
00:35:20,549 –> 00:35:22,149
the adult was recently,
1108
00:35:22,469 –> 00:35:25,309
was seen recently appearing extremely confused and
1109
00:35:25,309 –> 00:35:26,469
at times agitated,
1110
00:35:26,709 –> 00:35:28,309
seemed to lack orientation.
1111
00:35:28,709 –> 00:35:30,629
Other observations include forgetfulness,
1112
00:35:30,789 –> 00:35:31,429
wandering,
1113
00:35:31,429 –> 00:35:32,229
slurred speech,
1114
00:35:32,229 –> 00:35:33,189
frequent falls,
1115
00:35:33,349 –> 00:35:34,309
flat affect,
1116
00:35:34,589 –> 00:35:36,709
possible incontinence of B&B.
1117
00:35:38,109 –> 00:35:38,949
Unsteady gait,
1118
00:35:38,949 –> 00:35:40,069
frequent outbursts,
1119
00:35:40,069 –> 00:35:40,669
dysphasia,
1120
00:35:40,669 –> 00:35:42,069
aphasia, weight loss,
1121
00:35:42,349 –> 00:35:44,389
adults seem to be easily redirected,
1122
00:35:44,469 –> 00:35:45,669
likely dementia.
1123
00:35:46,549 –> 00:35:50,309
So now we look like reporters.
1124
00:35:51,789 –> 00:35:52,669
Humanitarians.
1125
00:35:53,389 –> 00:35:55,669
Yeah, because that too was very.
1126
00:35:56,149 –> 00:35:57,589
That’s going beyond the job title.
1127
00:35:58,229 –> 00:35:59,309
That’s not about information.
1128
00:35:59,309 –> 00:36:00,429
It’s about another human being.
1129
00:36:00,429 –> 00:36:02,349
But think about all the people around him that continue
1130
00:36:02,349 –> 00:36:04,069
to push him and prop him up.
1131
00:36:04,309 –> 00:36:05,949
Like we could see it.
1132
00:36:05,989 –> 00:36:08,269
Could you imagine doing that with someone you cared
1133
00:36:08,269 –> 00:36:09,509
about? You mean his wife?
1134
00:36:10,309 –> 00:36:11,269
Well, she is a doctor.
1135
00:36:11,429 –> 00:36:12,229
His wife.
1136
00:36:13,189 –> 00:36:14,789
Is she an MD or a PhD?
1137
00:36:15,269 –> 00:36:16,149
She’s a PhD.
1138
00:36:16,229 –> 00:36:17,629
I think she’s an education doctor.
1139
00:36:17,629 –> 00:36:18,389
Yeah, it says PhD.
1140
00:36:18,789 –> 00:36:19,189
And then EDD.
1141
00:36:19,549 –> 00:36:20,149
ED, okay.
1142
00:36:20,709 –> 00:36:21,469
All these letters.
1143
00:36:21,509 –> 00:36:21,829
All right.
1144
00:36:22,229 –> 00:36:23,189
I’ve got a DD.
1145
00:36:24,669 –> 00:36:25,509
OPP Mark.
1146
00:36:26,709 –> 00:36:27,749
Yeah, you know me.
1147
00:36:29,469 –> 00:36:30,389
If you don’t know him,
1148
00:36:30,389 –> 00:36:31,669
you’re about ready to know him.
1149
00:36:31,669 –> 00:36:33,269
I’ll see you both tomorrow night.
1150
00:36:34,309 –> 00:36:35,669
Be there at 530.
1151
00:36:36,029 –> 00:36:37,429
Don’t be walking in at six.
1152
00:36:37,429 –> 00:36:38,309
Don’t be doing that.
1153
00:36:39,269 –> 00:36:39,629
But if you do,
1154
00:36:39,629 –> 00:36:40,629
what am I going to do about it?
1155
00:36:41,189 –> 00:36:43,669
Okay, Wayne County Community College,
1156
00:36:44,069 –> 00:36:45,269
Northwest Campus,
1157
00:36:45,269 –> 00:36:47,349
that’s at Southfield and Outer Drive,
1158
00:36:47,669 –> 00:36:49,429
or you can watch it on all the socials.
1159
00:36:50,069 –> 00:36:50,869
I look forward to it.
1160
00:36:51,189 –> 00:36:51,869
We can’t wait.
1161
00:36:52,149 –> 00:36:52,709
See you there.
