It’s an election year, so the politicians are treating Detroit like a game show set.
The Secret Service has lockdowned Michigan Avenue for a week.
3 days of Kamala, then maybe Joe, then comes the Donald, and then Kamala returns.
Small businesses suffer, but they don’t care- they’re small.
In parachutes the media.
“How are the auto workers going to vote?” they ask me without asking the auto workers.
“How is Dearborn going to vote?” they ask me without asking the little people of Dearborn.
“How would I know?” I tell them.
I didn’t ask them how they would vote.
I asked them instead, how they’re going to feed their children now that they got laid off.
Geraldo said Black men don’t want hard jobs.
How would he know? He never asked them.

Transcript:
Speaker 1 (00:00):
And I’ve been here for years working hard. See, I’m sweating hot, tired, legs hurting. Heart, back heart. And you want your car back. You want to give these jobs to other people so you can pay ’em less than what you’re paying me. You shouldn’t have never did that.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
The Detroit auto worker is dying on the vine. You can hear her in the streets.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Everybody done.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Stop. You can hear him in the bars. This is a UAW joint in Warren, Michigan. Stellantis, the European company that now owns Jeep Ram Dodge and Chrysler is laying off 2,500 people at the factory right across the street. Whenever I go to a wake for the house, I like to buy the family a drink, everybody that wants one. So which is me for people in their bills. And every day it sucks. What you mean? What it mean if people got
Speaker 4 (00:46):
The change? They whole dynamic now this is all fucked up and they’ve been there 30 years already. Oh bro. Is that right now that they right mean
Speaker 2 (00:55):
You got all the bills outstanding and all of a sudden it’s yanked out. Now it’s yanked out. Michigan is car country. So when an auto plant lays people off, the unemployment train starts to roll downhill. Let me take you back to the beginning of the day. A, B, c Murray Sprockets has been here on eight Mile Road more than 50 years by the magic of tv. Hey Charlie, how you doing? It’s Bob. They made gears for the assembly line. If the assembly line isn’t churning out cars, then a, B, C might soon become. See you later. The way the country’s going now, are you worried that you won’t be the fourth generation?
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Oh no. I plan on being the fourth generation. I just hope it doesn’t die with me.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Well, where’s the hell is work going in this country?
Speaker 6 (01:41):
It’s going to shame China.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Tell me how you gauge the economy on Eight Mile Road, Detroit slash Warren, Michigan. I
Speaker 6 (01:48):
Tell you traditionally around here on eight Mile, you knew it was busy. If you saw the trains running, you saw the hookers out on the street. But you don’t see no hookers no more. They don’t work this area. And I don’t see hardly any trains running over there anymore. Charlie
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Mark Kerne has been a UAW member for 30 years. He says he’ll be okay, but he says the political class has lost the working class every political season. They’re here. Kamala’s here, Donald’s here. And two years ago nobody was here.
Speaker 7 (02:20):
Yeah, there was no political pundits here at all. Not even in your local cities city council, either from Detroit or for Warren. You didn’t see them until they needed us.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
American taxpayers have given stellantis billions of dollars in cash and incentives and the Ram truck sells. It was the two time truck of the year. In fact, north America is Stellantis most profitable division on the planet. So why after a bruising strike last year where temporary workers finally got a raise and became full-time workers, is the company now kicking them to the curb? I reached out to the CEO Carlos Tavaris at his Portuguese farm. I to ask Carlos why he gave himself a 50% raise while eating ascar go as he’s planning to let our cars go, I got nothing. So I went inside the RAM plan here in Warren to find the manager. No one to be found except this dude. I had reached out to the company for some comment on the layoffs and I didn’t hear back. So I’m here now. Okay. This is private property you came from on here. Well, it says human resource. Can I get an application? Nope. This is private property. I’m going to have to ask you to leave. Please shift change working men and women. It isn’t easy committing your life to a machine only to have it ripped away. Just listen. So what’s going to happen? We all disappear. Are you angry? Like you get a good contract and then the international corporation,
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Everybody angry. Everybody’s angry. Own my own home. Couple cars. You know what I mean? I got four kids, got a wife, beautiful wife at home. So to see it just all of a sudden disappear. Wouldn’t you be a little mad about that?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
You got kids? Yep. Three. You got a kitchen table?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yes I
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Do. You got kids around the kitchen table?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yes I do.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Have you scratched out your finances without this job?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Scratch the what out.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Whatcha going to do? You got kids?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yes. Two. Two. Yeah. I don’t know. Are you scared? I’m scared to death. Just being punched after punch and it’s like, is we ever going to wake up from this? It still is just so hard. It is like you just keep pushing us back, pushing us back, pushing us back.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I caught up with UAW President Sean Fain. He ain’t playing the taxpayer, the Detroiter, the Michigan or the United States taxpayer has given this company billions and now they’re splitting what gives.
Speaker 8 (04:49):
It’s just another decision in the long legacy of corporate greed. I mean that’s what this is all about. I mean it’s a quest for the race, for the bottom and it’s never enough.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
What’s going to happen if these go,
Speaker 8 (05:02):
Oh no, there’s going to be action. I mean we’re not going to sit back. I mean we have to fight for this though.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
You got to go. I little shamed. I don’t have any cash. You got 10 bucks so I can get some cigarettes.
Speaker 8 (05:15):
It’s not in my pocket.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Nobody got nothing in their pocket. Well, there’s a new saying in Warren, Michigan. Next car I’m going to give me is a Ford. That’s right. A car I can afford. Right. A special assignment for News Nation in more in Michigan. I’m Charlie LeDuff. Good luck. A UAW to your future. To your future. Thank you. Cheer though
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Live from downtown Detroit is the no bullshit news hour with my main man Charlie and Jar Dub
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Breaking. Do bullshit. Do bullshit. Yeah, we on bro. That’s molding this cup, man. That’s not good. Housekeeping. Yeah. So that piece ran on News Nation yesterday and Elizabeth Vargas and Chris Cuomo in the morning show today. And before we get into it, let me say, so Stellantis is fucking pissed. Stellantis has got major fucking problems and they’re calling corporate saying we only all laid off 1100. Okay, so for clarification, stellantis announced up to 2,500 layoffs. They’re insisting it’s only 1100 layoffs. The UAW meanwhile says it’s over 2000 with more likely coming. So there you go. Whoever you want to believe.
Speaker 9 (06:53):
Well, I mean are they saying it’s 1100 to date, but they are projecting up to 2,500. They
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Won’t say anything about projecting.
Speaker 9 (06:58):
That’s what I’m saying. So they’re playing with the narrative
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And then the U aaw is telling you No, it’s that it over two grand dude. So there you go.
Speaker 9 (07:07):
So they’re mad at you, Charlie.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Well, you know what?
Speaker 9 (07:09):
You’ve made another friend.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
What’s interesting is that the Wall Street Journal broke a story this morning that Stellantis is expanding their plant in Saltillo, Mexico and they’re going to be building the Ram truck there. So you do your own math. What the fuck?
Speaker 9 (07:27):
That’s become the American way, Charlie. Unfortunately
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Now Ken and I, we were driving around yesterday, went to Ford’s world headquarters in Dearborne because this election is about Dearborne, but it’s about Ford, it’s about cars. It’s 1.1 million auto workers in Michigan. Right? There’s 70,000 adults in Dearborn. You get the
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Math
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And we’re driving around and look, I guess everybody came back to work at Ford’s World headquarters till we went in the lot and it’s all the unsold stock. Really? Thousands of cars unsold. Then we went to Auburn Hills where Chrysler’s World headquarters is and it’s important, the big one, office 75, that is the third largest office complex on planet Earth.
Speaker 9 (08:16):
Really?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah. The biggest one is in India. The second one is the Pentagon. And that’s the third one. That’s the fucking Pentagon of automobiles, right? It was like the tombstone
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Ghost stone.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, it was amazing. And then in their test oval behind it was all the unsold stocks. And then we drove to the Rensen empty, can’t even get a corn dog headquarters. And then we drove out to the Stellantis plant, Jeff, that we paid all that money for. And Mac, how many unsold trucks did you figure you saw there? Ken?
Speaker 9 (08:48):
A thousand a c,
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Thousands.
Speaker 9 (08:50):
Yeah, there’s tons. When you drive by there, they’re just sitting there
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Collecting. It’s so embarrassing that they’ve got railroad cars that they put up against the fence. So when you’re coming down Conor, you can’t see
Speaker 9 (09:01):
It. I know, but that, and to prevent, because people would steal those cars. They were just sitting there and they’d drive out the lot and they’d steal ’em.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
That is true. They had that big problem, didn’t they? So I mean this is what we’re facing.
Speaker 9 (09:13):
But think about that Charlie, as those things that built America and especially even Detroit in terms of the automotive industry, the families, one of the guys that you talked to, he says, I own my own home. I have two cars, I’ve got four kids, I’ve got a wife. I mean, this has been his livelihood.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (09:29):
So what’s next?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I mean, that’s what we’re supposed to be talking about. So when I was on the morning show news nation’s morning show with Marky, she’s real cool. I’m dispirited about all this because we’re a voting block. What’s this block and a vote? And I go, it’s not a game show. It’s real life. And when you actually talk to people, we’re dying on the vine. I didn’t ask anybody anything about politics. I wanted to know about their life.
Speaker 9 (10:01):
But that’s the priority. And that’s what people don’t seem to understand. I mean, people are looking at how to survive. The lady that you talked to that says she had two kids or three kids, I mean, people are thinking about how to survive and the uncertainty of it is scary
Speaker 2 (10:16):
And nobody, the thing is
Speaker 9 (10:17):
Nobody
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Cares. The coastal elite like Washington, the media, they’ve hijacked this election season. It’s turned into a game show for them. It’s not us anymore. Right outside since Sunday night, Monday night, Tuesday night, it’s now Wednesday. It’s been blocked off with Secret Service because Kamala Harris is doing the game show. You know how much this is costing and Secret service?
Speaker 9 (10:47):
Well, not only that though, Charlie, you’ve got secret service, you’ve got DPD. I’ve seen Sheriffs Michigan State Police mean. But you also think about the impact that it’s having on business because you can’t drive down the street, you can’t park. We already have an issue with parking. So I mean, you think about those implications when you talk about small businesses being important, then you may want to do something when you’re not shutting them down for a week.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Pay them for what they lost.
Speaker 9 (11:11):
And I saw a young lady talk about the shutdown. They did, I guess over on Grand River yesterday. I guess she was at a place and the lost business that she had, because she said it was her busiest day and nobody ever came in. Not even to come in and acknowledge her as a business owner. Nothing. Just we shut it all down and you figure it out.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
And they’re going to pack up tonight and they’re back Friday because Trump’s going to be doing Cobo or Huntington or TCF or whatever it is. Okay? And then Harris is back Saturday. So we got a whole week of this bullshit. Is anybody running the country?
Speaker 9 (11:45):
No, but the Secret Service dog is gorgeous. That was the best part of it other than, I mean, great looking dog
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Can vote for that dog when he’s not sniffing for bombs. He sits there like this.
Speaker 9 (11:56):
I know, but he’s gorgeous. I’m like, God,
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Very regal.
Speaker 9 (12:00):
Other than that, it’s like, what the hell is this?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
So I’m on Chris, I think they might be doing a town hall here. I don’t know. I mean that be cool. Kamala Harris in town before we go into what happened with Cuomo last night. So she’s quote unquote in Detroit at a fancy hotel doing a virtual national town hall where you call in on a podcast Charlamagne the God, right? Who’s based out of Atlanta. So how is this supposed to appeal to Michigan or Detroit when you’re afraid to lay your hands on people,
Speaker 9 (12:37):
But you had to submit your questions, I think through the app. So it wasn’t even able to call in. So I believe there was an earlier submission of questions. And then I saw Malachi Barrett mentioned on Twitter last night that at the event she did on Jefferson, that they made it clear that there’d be no more questions posted to her. Jesus, what
Speaker 10 (12:55):
A joke. And I’d love to know how many of those questions are from Detroiters. I mean, we’re just a backdrop. We’re just scenery.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Well, when the moist is like this, and that’s not really the sing song of the streets of Detroit, if you know what I’m saying.
Speaker 9 (13:10):
We’re being used as we’re being
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Abused,
Speaker 9 (13:12):
Used and abused.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
We do cars and everything here spins out of cars.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
True.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Whether you got a sneaker shop or a bagel, it spins from the car and we’re losing these things by the thousands. And we do on this show, we like to do some math and these fake job numbers every month. And you look at it and it’s like, oh, we created a hundred thousand jobs. They’re all part-time. We lost 400,000 full-time jobs. It’s true. It’s here. And the Barbies and Kens of national TV have no clue.
Speaker 9 (13:42):
It’s like the population numbers. We got 1500 people, but you lost 75,000. We don’t got what happens. Smoke on ain mile no more. But that should tell you right there, that
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Tells you everything and all the cigarette butts are smoked down to the end, right? When it’s good times, people throw away a half smoked cigarette. You never find a half smoked cigarette. Now you got to give em homeless a whole cigarette because he can’t find a half smoked cigarette. It affects us all. It’s just right downhill.
Speaker 9 (14:08):
But Charlie, most people don’t understand just how challenging it is for so many people. Exactly. People are struggling.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I mean
Speaker 9 (14:17):
They they really are.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
They’re scared
Speaker 9 (14:19):
And rightfully so.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Well you know what it is, Karen? They don’t want to work.
(14:24):
They don’t want to. Well that’s what Geraldo was saying last night. So I lived it. I haven’t seen it. Will you manage to find that mark? Yeah, it’s really good. Okay, let’s have a listen to that. So if you want to take Detroit or Michigan, you might want to put your hands on the people of Michigan. So I don’t think this election comes down to the undecideds. Everybody’s decided it’s if somebody screws up enough that get you to get up and go cast a vote, you weren’t planning to vote. That’s what’s going to come to a Michigan
Speaker 11 (14:54):
Grievance election. Geraldo, last word to you, listening to what Rob said about how black men and you had been talking about Latino men, what is the chance that they don’t care what Trump says? They care about what the net effect of what the policies were on his watch versus now. And it’s hold the nose time. The policies were better then.
Speaker 12 (15:15):
But having covered this for half a century, these Latino men, these strivers who are coming in, they’re not coming for So-called black jobs. Black men don’t want those jobs. Black men don’t want work in kitchens. They don’t want to work mowing lawns with those blowers. They don’t want to be poultry processors and meat packers. They want real jobs. Black men want jobs in society where they can be upwardly mobile. So I disagree. It is because of propaganda. It is because of the concept. The Biden administration. The Biden administration blew the border. They blew the border. They did a terrible job on the border.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Geraldo, do you know what chicken processing in 1985 was paying today’s in today’s dollars $31 an hour. Today it’s dollars and 50 cents, 1650 in today’s money, which was $32 when Hormel went on strike in 85. That’s the deal. We’re all competing for the body.
Speaker 12 (16:19):
Go around to the Hormel plant. You tell me who you see, you tell me who
Speaker 13 (16:23):
You see. Let me make a point here on Rob, get in, let Rob get in. Let me make a point. And it’s not that black men don’t want to do those jobs that you deem as menial Geraldo in your words, not anybody else’s. They will not do those jobs for the subpar wages that are paid to illegal immigrants.
Speaker 9 (16:40):
My landscaper is black like whatcha you talking about? And he owns a company. But I mean that was not a very intelligent statement to make.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
You know what it is? I mean thought he’s a good dude. He really is a good, I like Geraldo, but it’s clueless because you never worked those jobs. The fact of the matter to make it clear the audio was shit, is meat packers. Remember I worked in a meat packing plant. I worked in a cannery. Yeah, they’re all Latino and they pay 1650 an hour. And all the non-citizens working there in Iowa have been gotten laid off. They make 17, they’re moving to Tennessee and they’re hiring the new migrants for 1650. See back in 1985, that job, the Green Bay Packers a packer is someone that works in a slaughtering house. Back in 1985, you were getting $10 and 50 cents an hour adjusted for inflation. It’s $32 an hour plus benefits. We were eating bacon in 1985. At the same time, the price of bacon, while the wage has fallen in half, the price of has gone up 20% in that time. So how much profit is enough? Right? That’s it. Strivers know, man, you got to get in line. And like Rob was rightly saying, I worked in them. That’s not beneath me.
Speaker 9 (18:04):
Yeah, I don’t think that way. I don’t think people think it’s beneath them, but people want to be treated fairly. And that was something else that came out during Covid. People are like, wait a minute. I mean I’m not an important enough worker to be treated fairly and paid and compensated fairly. I mean that came to the forefront.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Pay me. Okay, why does everybody come up here and work? Because again, if you know the culture of the border and everything and you’ve been to Central America as I have, you’ll realize these aren’t refugees. This isn’t asylum. This is house envy down in Honduras, right? Joaquin came up here, made a lot of money, and he’s building himself a mansion. Now the whole village season, they come up, they come up and then everybody retires in 10, 15, 20 years. Unless you really end up liking this place. So imagine being able to go to Canada and make $200 an hour shoveling horse shit with your bare hands. You would do it and you would live in a house with 30 guys. It’d be a working holiday to make my fortune. This is the truth. I would do it. I’m not blaming anybody. You allowed them to do it. Does the country need immigrants? Of course, because we get a little bit stale. We need an injection of culture, of life, of vigor, of strength,
Speaker 9 (19:24):
Competition.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
You know what I mean? We do. But this bum rush is fucked up. And for the elites to be saying that we don’t want to work, I’ll tell you how we want to work. You pay us. Did you see? Have you ever been in an auto plant? It’s backbreaking work levers and stooping and your knees give out and your feet go flat. We want those jobs. Those jobs pay. And now everybody talks about Trump and the tariffs. Forget the Chinese for a minute. Our own companies did this to us. The America, apple, Ford, gm, Chrysler, you shored it went in inserts of cheap labor, brought it back here and charged us the same price. So how long are we supposed to be able to afford these cars?
Speaker 9 (20:13):
But again, Charlie, that’s become the American way. It’s all about profit over people. I mean it is. I understand capitalism, I get it, but at the same time, we are doing it at the expense of the people that we once depended on.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
That’s right. And speaking of money, lemme tell you about Luke Nacky. He reminds you, politicians might lie to you, the media might lie to you. Are your financial statements lying to you? Do you know your money guy? Do you have a money guy? And if you have a money guy, do you know the money guy? And do you have his personal cell phone when something’s going up and down, what do I do? Does your money man, explain how money works? Does he explain to you interest rates? Does he tell you how that affects your annuities? Your college savings plan? Because there’s a lot of nuance in there, right? You’ve put some money away for your kid and you put it into a 5 29, 5 20 nine’s an education savings plan. You can put it in something, save bonds or some stocks, 50 50, whatever, anything that appreciates is tax free and goes to your kids’ college. And if there’s anything left over when your kid’s 31 that turns into their 401k, stuff like that, that your money man isn’t telling you. So and looking at
Speaker 9 (21:27):
A Roth IRA,
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yes. What is a Roth? IRA?
Speaker 9 (21:30):
I’m not a financial person. Call Luke and ask him
Speaker 2 (21:33):
A Roth IRA is you pay taxes upfront, then you put it in the market and then when you retire and it’s time you don’t get taxed on the gains when you’re retired.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
Okay, then why’d you ask me?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Because he likes to quiz me, but I know he does, and I need to give you a number, Karen. I mean this is something you should know. Luke Acki 2 4 8 6 6 3 4 7 4 8. Let Luke worry so you don’t have to. Luke Acki 2 4 8 6 6 3 4 7 4 8. And of course Archangel Senior Management, if you’re an entrepreneur looking for a safe and socially responsible real estate investment, this is it. It’s senior living. It’s one of the fastest growing markets in America and it’s the antithesis to cold corporate nursing homes. Basically, Archangel has formed a partnership with a nursing school and Majestic residents, which is a home-based assisted living franchise system. You’re getting it. So you invest in this partnership, you get authentic caregivers with the tools and training necessary to manage small livable homes within neighborhoods like human living. And archangel investors are involved in that real estate and they get a return and you can feel secure in both your investment because it’s something cool and the care that’s being provided, the care is genuine. The owners are local and Archangel has Overwatch, if interested in this trailblazing opportunity, contact Archangel at 9 8 9 6 1 4 0 4 1 6. And I am planning to be honest with you,
Speaker 9 (23:05):
It’s an investment in our seniors, which we as a country don’t do. I was driving past the cemetery and I thought I said, people show up for your funeral. They spend a ton of money on funerals, but they won’t care for you as you’re aging like other countries. If you’re in Japan. And it’s like, where’s that disconnect? We talk about how important our family members are, but that aging gap is, I don’t know,
Speaker 2 (23:32):
And I got some big news on that. So follow me on X Charlie, I’ll drop it tomorrow. It’s going to send reverbs through this state in this election. It’s big and it’s got to do with seniors and the way we’re treating them, right? And who’s looking out for ’em. Also, we had transferred, what do you call Spotify? Is it our carrier? Yeah, it’s our platform. Our platform. So we switched over to there and then the tens of thousands of subscribers on iTunes, vaporize because of It’s a whole thing. Yeah, it’s a whole
Speaker 9 (24:14):
Thing. They’ve been asking Charlie.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
They are. So do we post on Facebook anymore? Yes, we do now. And remember a long time ago I said, fuck Zuckerberg, but some people like Zuckerberg. So it’s back up there, right?
Speaker 10 (24:26):
It is. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Under Charlie.
Speaker 10 (24:28):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Okay, so
Speaker 10 (24:30):
Spread it around.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Share the word to everybody. Yeah. So go back, do me a favor, share, share. Go back to iTunes and resubscribe. That’s why you’re not getting notified because you’re not on the list anymore. But we like to make it hard. We don’t even tell people, but it goes by the thousands a week. People figure it out. But if you’re seeing this on Twitter and you just want the audio, that’s what you do. What you’ll also see on Twitter is breaking news. Fake alert, more media hoax. I’m going to edit in post. We lost that one too, didn’t we?
(25:07):
No, people heard it. So it was last week, Donald Trump was talking to the Detroit Economic Club. He spoke for 7,380 seconds, two hours and five minutes. And the media, the fake media just sat and waited. And in the 58th minute, what Trump was talking about was these international trade deals. Apple, gm, stellantis, offshoring, then the Chinese coming in and dumping steel. And he’s like, if you don’t want to put the factory in America, I’ll hit you with a tariff. And then that way, with your slave wages that you’re paying in the third world, $3 an hour max for the Mexican auto worker that if you continue to do that, we’re going to slap a hundred percent terrifying you. And then we’re going to compete. Everybody seems to think this lasts forever. And shopping at Walmart would be like shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue. That’s not the point here. It’s interesting. All of a sudden everybody knows economics, but so they waited and it was a bumptious blowhard in town that did it, started it. The sort of dude that thinks his colonoscopy video is good stuff for Twitter. Swear to God, do you? But this is what got pulled out.
Speaker 14 (26:27):
You want to know the truth? It’ll be like Detroit. Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your president.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Trump’s dogging on Detroit. Wasn’t it just a decade ago. We were bankrupt
Speaker 9 (26:41):
And Charlie, but it two things. You talked about how long his speech was. You got to look at the audience that he’s speaking to, the fact that they clapped throughout his speech in that entire time and it fuels that. What am I going to call it? Fake help me here. Mark. What is it? Fake news. Fake news. But that fake Detroit pride that all these people that don’t, I mean,
Speaker 10 (27:10):
Yeah, the people that buy a T-shirt,
Speaker 9 (27:11):
The T-shirt people, the tiger game people, the hey, show me eight mile people. That whole thing,
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Right? Well, let’s give a little, and we’ll show that commercially. We have a little clip, just the context of what he was talking about. So we
Speaker 14 (27:29):
Will build this policy and it’s called Build It in America plan. It’s build it in America. Because when foreign leaders and CEOs call me up to complain about our tariffs, my answer will be very simple. Build it in America. You don’t have any tariffs. Build it right here in Detroit. You don’t have any tariffs. Build it in Dearborn or Lansing or Grand Rapids or Flint. I don’t know.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I dunno. So let me tell you how this plays out. Okay, so Duggan’s doing his tantrum tweet. We got the lions and okay, mayor Mike Duggan. Detroit just hosted the largest NFL draft in history. The tigers are back in the playoffs. The lions are headed to the Super Bowl. Crime is down and our population’s growing. Lots of cities should be like Detroit. And we did it all without Trump’s help. Well, let’s fact check this because I love Detroit and I’d spend every waking an hour trying to be of service to it. Put that back up so I can see it. I’ll go, crime is down. I’m going to put it generously. You’re massaging these numbers. You’ve backing out dozens of homicides and calling them justifiable. They’re still homicides. There aren’t responses. Arrests are down by half since bankruptcy. Dude, half, half, you’re not responding to crime. A sergeant, Sergeant Moss, I knew him. He’s a SWAT instructor. He unfortunately committed suicide by cop. He called 9 1 1 and special response came. And it’s sad, but I want to advocate for those men and women in blue in his town that do a very hard job.
(29:12):
Moss injured his back on the job and it was debilitating and he couldn’t work and he wasn’t on the right side of the establishment in City Hall, and they’re going to forcibly retire him. So he couldn’t work. Well, here’s the thing. Since the bankruptcy, no cop that retires gets the medical that he was promised when he started the job. So now the guy gave his life and his career to this in service of this city. You’re going to throw him on the garbage heap. He can’t work. What’s he going to do? Security and standard that doesn’t pay healthcare. That’s what happened. No, thanks to you, Mike, because you blew all the money. What else we got up there,
Speaker 9 (29:58):
Charlie? Hold on. Don’t skip past that. I mean, I want that to resonate with people for a second because that’s the human interest side of the financial implications of bankruptcy. He suffered an injury serving the city. I mean, so connect those dots there and being forced to retire. You have no medical and you have a debilitating injury
Speaker 2 (30:24):
And look at the sadness of his death. Look what it does to your mind. That’s beyond anxiety. So rest in peace. And my thoughts are with the officers that had to respond to that. I mean really, all right. Population’s growing maybe. I mean, Duggan called them the Census Bureau clowns when they kept estimating the populations being lost. What was it? This was like about 1500 people. It’s growing. It makes the front page of the New York 1500 people. Well, what you don’t tell people is it’s all the illegal immigrants being resettled here. So take them out and it’s shrinking, dude. Also, revenue tax. Tax dollars adjust for inflation are less now than they were in the year of the bankruptcy. That is remarkable. That tells you what an oligopoly this is and who’s getting hand and who’s getting what because it ain’t the cops and it ain’t the people in the neighborhood.
(31:23):
And it sure ain’t the school kids because that’s one of the worst functioning, least achieving school districts in the United States. And we have the highest property taxes of any urban center in America. So tell me when you guys want to cherry pick shit and national media comes to me and goes, well, I mean, who’s speaking of the auto work? I’m like, at least Trump has a command of it. I didn’t say I’m voting for him. There’s a lot. His people are afraid of me. You know what I mean? Because his people used to advise Tudor Dixon and Tudor Dixon came on the show and by herself expressed her position on abortion. I didn’t lead her into it.
Speaker 10 (32:05):
Not your fault,
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Not my fault. Right? Nothing tricky was going on there.
Speaker 10 (32:10):
She did that herself.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I would ask you, sir, about January 6th, I don’t know who was responsible for the National Guard not showing up or whatever. My question for you would be, what took you so long to respond? Why didn’t you tell people go home right away? Another question would be, we’re going to round up these criminal illegals and ship ’em home. Well, we don’t have a relationship with Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, China, Russia. So you round ’em up. Where are you going to put ’em? Dude? Are you going to land an amphibious assault on the shores of Venezuelan? Just dump ’em off and maybe Biden create a floating pier that they go, I mean, please. And then again, there’s the runaway spending and you talk to the economic community. Numbers don’t add up. It’s just a huge, huge hole in the budget, which you did the last time around accepting for Covid. You were spending a trillion in deficit. So that’s what I would ask you. And then I’d let you go off. And so he’s not afraid of anybody, but his people are afraid of me. And the Democrats are a bunch of pussies. You know what I mean? Like a cat. Like a cat.
Speaker 9 (33:26):
I know. I was just thinking about the last act. That was
Speaker 2 (33:29):
All. I was just like, oh yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, fix that in post thing. Yeah,
Speaker 9 (33:36):
But let me say this, Charlie, when you highlight those inaccuracies, we’ll call ’em. That’s not dogging the city. That’s not kicking it. Those are facts and people are so comfortable, and I think they’re so anxious to feel good about something that they don’t want to know the truth about anything or anybody.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
And
Speaker 9 (33:59):
So they see it as being an attack or they seeing it as being critical? No. If you’re going to make a decision on somebody or on something, make it rooted in fact,
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Huh? That would require work now because we’re talking about the media now, right? It’s just easier to run with it. You don’t have to check anything. Have you ever turned on local TV news and they’re checking the revenues?
Speaker 3 (34:23):
No.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Or when’s the last time you heard that police lost their healthcare? Nope. In the bankruptcy, our force is two different, there’s nothing in the middle. Our force is very young people, five years or less, at least half. And then we got this cadre of 60 some year old guys watling around because they’re trying to make it to Medicare.
Speaker 9 (34:50):
But I saw where I guess they were trying to encourage recruitment and the new hires are offered a higher salary than those with X number of years on the job. So I mean, if I’ve been working all these years and you got somebody that comes in and they’re making far more than I am, that doesn’t make me feel respected or valued,
Speaker 2 (35:12):
I will make, that’s surprising to me.
Speaker 9 (35:15):
Yeah, I said it was on Twitter. They had a
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Well, there you go. Then it’s
Speaker 9 (35:19):
True’s true. I like Twitter, Charlie. But the Detroit Police Department posted a graphic and it had the salaries for incoming officers.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
So I’ll check that out because that’s worth knowing. I mean, we just wrap with this. Remember, watch this program and then come up on Twitter tomorrow and see what I got for you. But just speaking of it, we covered pretty thoroughly the Samantha Wahls murder case, the young Jewish, she’s 40, but the Jewish leader here in Detroit, and she was stabbed to death in her condo. What was townhouse?
Speaker 9 (36:00):
Townhouse
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Right in the city of Lafayette Park here three times in the back of the head. Eventually the guy that the police and the prosecutor bring to trial is Michael Jackson Anos a car thief. And they followed him around all night. They saw a murky figure at four 20 in the morning, they, Jesse Smollett and then found this guy and he was a good find because there was her blood on his jacket. A couple drops.
(36:29):
And it turns out his girlfriend ended up washing that jacket and he was in and around that area. They could tell by his phone, but there was no video of him at the alleged time of the murder. So it’s a good one. He gets acquitted of first degree murder and the jurors are hung for felony murder and home invasion, and they’re hung in his favor. Something like eight to three or eight to four, nine to three. We’d had his lawyer on it was something like that. But now we get the rewrite from Fox Two and the reporter here, I never saw her in the courtroom. Might’ve been, but I never saw her there. And so we’re getting the redo where she’s saying, and the family’s claiming, and it’s insinuated that the cops got the right guy and that somebody blew it. Like the jurors, the jury of our peers blew it somehow. The ones that sat there every day for six weeks. There was also, what was weird about this was Samantha, she broke up with him. He had shrines of pictures of her and his apartment. She had none of him. Right. And he was granted immunity. Okay, wait, first of all, so we good so far? Good enough? Yeah,
Speaker 10 (37:57):
I think that’s
Speaker 2 (37:58):
So they never search his place. They don’t get a warrant until three weeks later after he goes to Kalamazoo three weeks later and makes a 9 1 1 call. And this is what the 9 1 1 call, this is him.
Speaker 15 (38:16):
The jury was stuck on. Well, you, that’s him. Jeffrey Hersman calling 9 1 1 from a West Michigan hotel parking lot because he claimed he was having a panic brought on by a double dose of Ave, a major depression drug and four hits of pot. Do you have any weapons or anything on there?
Speaker 1 (38:46):
No. Okay. There’s a knife in the car. Okay. Like a pocket knife room. What’s your name?
Speaker 15 (38:55):
God. Okay. Panic attacks is one of a validity, side effects, but could it cause this convoluted confession,
Speaker 6 (39:06):
Convince a man, Parker, my girlfriend, that I don’t remember it. Where’s your girlfriend stay at? She still lives in Detroit. Lived in Detroit. Okay. What makes you think that you killed her? I have motive and I have
Speaker 15 (39:30):
I, the outdoor people. Detroit police had already questioned Herbs Smith shortly after Samantha’s murder, but investigators heard that bizarre confession and headed straight to Kalamazoo to question the ex. They also searched for evidence everywhere inside an outside his Detroit house, including the fire pit surrounding cameras and his phone.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Okay, first of all, they searched this place three weeks later. Had you been at trial, you would have known that they never searched the fire pit. Like maybe, I don’t know, evidence there, burned clothes, whatever. I mean, possibly. I’m not saying he did it at all.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
Anything, yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Right. That they didn’t check for cameras in the back of this guy’s residence. Right? You would know that it’s a major depressant. It causes anxiety. A double dose is going to leave. Let’s say I took three of these, had a couple of cocktails, smoked a blunt. Do you think I’d be calling the FBI confessing to Hoffa? No. What the fuck is this? Okay, what else do we got, dear? Mark?
Speaker 10 (40:45):
You’d be feeling pretty good though. Yeah,
Speaker 2 (40:47):
I
Speaker 10 (40:47):
Was just reading about the medications pretty strong.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Yeah. Does it say that
Speaker 10 (40:50):
It causes hall hallucinations? That’s exactly what I was looking up, Charlie. And on the side effects that I see, there’s nothing about hallucinations.
Speaker 9 (40:57):
What is the drug prescribed for
Speaker 10 (40:59):
Depression? It’s a combination, basically of Robitussin and Wellbutrin, which is a pretty well-known antidepressant pretty common too. So I don’t see a bunch of people walking around having hallucinations
Speaker 9 (41:12):
All the time or making calls, confessing murders.
Speaker 10 (41:13):
It’s weird.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
What’s the next one we got here? Mark, put this in order.
Speaker 10 (41:17):
Well, if you want to hear from the lead detective as to why they brought in Jeffrey Hersman into the trial, which they kind of had to because of that phone call. I mean, he opened it up, which he kind of opened up the first reasonable doubt as to whether or not Michael Anos committed the crime.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
And it’s important to say they gave him use immunity, right?
Speaker 10 (41:37):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
He comes in, he testifies it can’t be used against him. Really odd. Okay, so the guy says, I didn’t do it. I just took some meds and had an episode. Why would you need immunity?
Speaker 9 (41:46):
Which was unheard of when he heard from the lawyer. It’s saying that was highly unusual to be granted
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Immunity. And I was talking with Dateline, had lunch with a Dateline report the other day. This guy we’re about to hear from, who’s this guy? He wasn’t the lead investigator back when this thing went down. All of a sudden, the authorities are presenting, oh, by the way, this is on appeal. So why are authorities presenting anybody to speak to a TV camera?
Speaker 15 (42:15):
That’s a good
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Point.
Speaker 10 (42:15):
Yeah. Yeah. Here he is.
Speaker 15 (42:18):
For the first time we are hearing from Detroit police lead investigator on the case, Lieutenant Matthew Bray, who tells me this man captured on surveillance was running away toward the park. They checked every camera in the area and never spotted that person again. Why was he so important to the trial though? If he didn’t do it and he sort of confessed and he had some mental issues. I mean, why even bring him into it?
Speaker 5 (42:44):
So it’s important for us to demonstrate to the jury why we know and why we believe him not to be the person involved in this incident. To exclude that information would leave a gaping question for the jury,
Speaker 2 (42:56):
But he wasn’t the one being charged. But the defense would’ve brought that confession, and so the prosecutors know he’s going to have to say something.
Speaker 10 (43:07):
Yeah, they’re trying to get ahead of it.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
Yeah. So why do you give him immunity? Because he insists on immunity. He didn’t do anything, dude,
Speaker 9 (43:13):
I get it. If he didn’t, then why would he need it? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
Okay. So what the piece was referring to was there was a murky Sasquatch picture of what looks to be a white dude with a George Michael haircut, dark glasses and a dark jacket running through Lafayette Park at 1 24 in the morning when her sensor also went off. See from 1230, her alarm.
Speaker 9 (43:40):
Her alarm sensor.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (43:41):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
From 1 12 30 to one 30, it was on, I mean, there was a lot of movement in there, right? So you come in, it trips, it’s like your ring camera. You can set it right. It trips and it resets, right? It resets once. There’s no motion, right? There’s a timeframe. So hers stays on for an hour. Then this other guy, Michael Jackson Lanis, the guy that was moonwalking around town and breaking into cars. It’s alleged. He comes in at four 20 and then the sensor resets at 4 22, but it takes two minutes to reset. So he’s got one second to commit a crime, and then we’re going to see it later and then run towards the light in people after he allegedly stabbed everybody. But I get ahead of myself, this guy on the left, murky. Grainy, looks like George Michael, the eighties guy on the right is the boyfriend Jeffrey, with the same, very similar indeed. Haircut, dark glasses, black jacket. Right? Now, according to what you just heard from box two, the police checked every camera. Is that what we heard? Okay. So you were chasing Michael Jackson lanis around, right? Because he’s bad, man. He’s bad, but why didn’t you check this other dude out earlier in the night? You know what I mean? That looks a lot like one of the suspects in the case. Well, had you been in court, you’d realize the cops never did check
(45:23):
On the white. Let’s play those clips that we got ’em
Speaker 10 (45:26):
From the stand.
Speaker 2 (45:27):
Yeah, both the two officers.
Speaker 10 (45:29):
Yep. The
Speaker 2 (45:30):
Two detectives,
Speaker 10 (45:30):
The first one’s the video technician.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
Well, you don’t have to go there, just there’s two detectives working the video. This is detective one.
Speaker 16 (45:38):
So you did not
Speaker 2 (45:39):
No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 16 (45:40):
You were not the other guy.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
The other guy.
Speaker 16 (45:42):
And I go to that location.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
Okay. You got both. All right. Fix it in post.
Speaker 16 (45:45):
And
Speaker 17 (45:45):
If there was video, I’m very confident I would’ve seen it. Okay, so I’m going to
Speaker 2 (45:50):
Of the white guy.
Speaker 17 (45:51):
I have not seen any video from there.
Speaker 16 (45:52):
And since you have a team, since this being a very important individual who was running at 1 24, surely you would’ve discussed this with your team whether or not this video was available to be extracted from Lafayette, correct?
Speaker 17 (46:05):
Absolutely.
Speaker 16 (46:06):
And as far as you remember, no conversation was had between you and your team, correct?
Speaker 17 (46:10):
No, it was had. It was had. We need video. We need to continue this pushing eastbound.
Speaker 16 (46:15):
Okay. But I’m not asking the conversation of whether or not you need video. I’m talking specifically whether or not a conversation was had on, we need video from 1 3 0 1 Orleans AKA to Lafayette Park Towers.
Speaker 17 (46:29):
Yes.
Speaker 16 (46:29):
That conversation was not had,
Speaker 17 (46:31):
The conversation was had. I recall Steve Ford, Sergeant Steve Ford talking about that building, and there was no video available to be recovered.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
Okay? That’s the cop who was responsible for chasing Michael Jackson down all night with the video. Right? Now, this other guy was supposed to chase the white guy down, according to that last detective. So here’s Sergeant Ford speaking.
Speaker 16 (46:57):
So you did, were not tasked with extracting video from 1 3 0 1 Orleans better known as Lafayette Towers in an attempt to find out where this individual ran, yes or no? No. Okay. So just to be clear, if Sergeant Sullivan testified under oath in that same chair and told the jury that in fact you were tasked with extracting video from Lafayette Towers in an attempt to find this individual, that’d be false.
Speaker 12 (47:32):
He was
Speaker 10 (47:32):
Mistaken? Yes. Oh, what a contradiction. A major contradiction.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
They’re both going like this.
Speaker 10 (47:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
Okay. So what is the public told? What do we leave? They checked every
Speaker 10 (47:44):
Everything. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:45):
Now that murky George Michael looking Sasquatch figure didn’t have a phone on him so they couldn’t triangulate him. Right? Okay. Well, I mean, it doesn’t take a data analyst with a PhD in applied physics to know to leave your phone at home if you’re going to go do a crime. Now, having said that, Jeffrey, the boyfriend is a data analyst with a PhD in applied physics. You know what I mean? It don’t take a genius. The jury saw this. Somehow the jury fucked up. The jury didn’t fuck up, the police fucked up, the prosecutor fucked up, and the reporters fucked up. And there are no justice for this woman. Now let’s go to the, we got one more, right?
Speaker 10 (48:34):
Yeah. About the timeline.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
Yeah, let’s do the timeline. This is apparently Michael Jackson committing his murder in one second and then running towards the light of Greektown Casino Garage where a bunch of people are picketing
Speaker 9 (48:49):
And cameras. The casino was full of cameras and security. Yes. Okay.
Speaker 15 (48:52):
Okay. The prosecution claims at 4:20 AM he enters startling Samantha from her sleep on the couch. They struggle. He panics and grabs a knife, stabs her eight times, mainly in the back of her head and neck as if she’s trying to get away. The next time we see Jackson Anos on video is 4:23 AM in front of the Greektown Casino wasn’t in that area. I did not hear nothing. I did not see nothing off the road. I saw security and got the on a DT testified, the motion detector was triggered at four 20 and stayed in idle mode until 4 22, giving Jackson Bolanos two minutes to stab his victim, and one minute and 25 seconds to reach the corner of Chrysler in Monroe, about a quarter mile away. Police tested the route from that night at different speeds and learned walking and running. The suspect was seen doing that night, took the same amount of time. So wait a minute,
Speaker 9 (49:53):
But it takes two minutes for the person they talked to from the alarm company, said that it has to be idle for two minutes before it resets.
Speaker 2 (50:02):
Yeah, it’s all nomenclature, right? It’s like it triggers, it’s on once it doesn’t detect motion, it resets.
Speaker 9 (50:10):
Right? But it has to be idle. No motion for two minutes before it resets. So those two minutes that she referenced, there was no motion.
Speaker 2 (50:19):
That’s one of the big questions here, right?
Speaker 9 (50:23):
Okay,
Speaker 2 (50:23):
So when the A DT, by the way, the A DT, the expert, he wasn’t an expert. He was conflicting. He’s like, well, it’s two minutes. It’s three minutes. No, man, what is it exactly? Why is there no seconds on these records?
Speaker 10 (50:38):
All I know is I’m a very slow runner. You wouldn’t guess it by looking at me, but me running or jogging is still faster than me walking. So I was walking to run at the same time, time walking and running.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
They discovered that if I ran or I walked, it took me the same amount of time.
Speaker 10 (50:52):
I don’t get that.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
Maybe it’s a treadmill. Okay? And they wonder why there’s questions right? Now, here’s the other thing. If you really want to about a quarter mile away, 0.25 of a mile, right? It’s actually 0.38 of a mile. It’s over a third of a mile. Wow. That’s two more football fields. That’s a big deal when being in court. When the cop testified, yeah, I ran it. It took me about a minute from her door to the camera at Greek town, it took you about a minute. You’re a three minute miler. Wow. What the fuck is it? Kenyan. It’s just like Usain Bolt on Roys dude,
Speaker 9 (51:36):
That’s unrealistic.
Speaker 2 (51:37):
Nobody bothered to measure all of this matters. And again, I wouldn’t want to be on the jury, but the jury did the right thing. There’s definitely reasonable doubt. Sullivan, the guy that did the Michael Jackson video did a 100% ACEs job. That is, that’s an amazing suspect.
Speaker 10 (51:59):
Yeah. Tracking him all that way.
Speaker 2 (52:00):
Yeah, all the way. And we found the blood on your jaw. Come
Speaker 10 (52:02):
On. He was there
Speaker 2 (52:04):
And he says he was there and he touched the woman. But I didn’t go in the house. I didn’t go in the apartment with the door open, even though I was breaking in his stuff all night. And the sensor just kind of went off. Oh, it was her getting up three hours later after being stabbed eight times. She miraculously got up as I was turning the corner, and then she collapsed, and I went to check her out. And she was cold and clammy, except she had just collapsed. You see what I’m saying? You see what I’m saying here? Awful, man. This isn’t rocket science, but this is what we get around here.
Speaker 9 (52:41):
But you understand. I mean, her family wants justice. Sure. I
Speaker 2 (52:45):
Want justice for them.
Speaker 9 (52:47):
And I understand that. And so I don’t want any of this to take away from the fact that they want closure. They want to find out who did this to their loved one. I get it. But at the same time, you can’t just create a guilty party. It doesn’t happen like that. That’s just not how it works. That’s not how it should work.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
I watched my mom suffer the same thing with my sister, and it took a lot of calls. I had to come back from New York and it took months, and they went and got the dude in Florida, and he got two years. But my mom forgives him. But there was some kind of closure that I know what the family’s going through. And I’m sorry if you guys are mad. I mean, I’m sorry, but this kind of journalism isn’t serving the city. Obviously the prosecutor’s office is a fucking mess. No one gets immunity like that during the hearing. The hvac, the air conditioning is broken in the courthouse. So they had to bring a plugin, like a railroad car size thing, and that went out. The weeds in front of the courthouse were knee high, and they had stopped doing pest control. And there were rats running around the courthouse. And I’m talking to the ladies in victim services, domestic violence, sexual assault, homicide. They all got hundreds of cases, and they’re paid less than 20 an hour. And they were all leaving. And you’re telling me this is a comeback.
Speaker 9 (54:24):
That’s what I was going to say. But Detroit is back. We had 750,000 people visit. Charlie.
Speaker 2 (54:29):
Yeah, it was awesome though. That was awesome. Cool. And big props to the cops on that one and props to everybody from around here that didn’t cause trouble, didn’t hurt each other. Good time
Speaker 9 (54:39):
Within that footprint. Let me just say that within that footprint, I’m going to leave it at that.
Speaker 2 (54:45):
You know what I learned from the NFL draft?
Speaker 9 (54:47):
What
Speaker 2 (54:48):
About Dallas Cowboy fans that they’re all circumcised? Charlie, you know why?
Speaker 9 (54:53):
I don’t want to know
Speaker 2 (54:54):
