1
00:00:00,160 –> 00:00:01,040
Every hour,

2
00:00:01,040 –> 00:00:01,760
only hour,

3
00:00:02,640 –> 00:00:05,520
when we listen and gain our knowledge and power,

4
00:00:05,520 –> 00:00:09,600
we turn to the no bullshit hour.

5
00:00:10,800 –> 00:00:14,080
They killed America’s councilman,

6
00:00:14,080 –> 00:00:16,400
Eric Mays in Flint.

7
00:00:17,680 –> 00:00:19,520
They arrested our guest.

8
00:00:19,840 –> 00:00:24,160
He’s in solitary right now in Flint.

9
00:00:25,360 –> 00:00:27,240
That’s what democracy looks like.

10
00:00:27,680 –> 00:00:28,800
in Genesee County.

11
00:00:28,960 –> 00:00:30,880
It is nasty.

12
00:00:30,960 –> 00:00:32,880
We will bring you that.

13
00:00:34,240 –> 00:00:35,040
But first,

14
00:00:35,280 –> 00:00:36,000
the news.

15
00:00:37,120 –> 00:00:40,320
Today is Real ID Day.

16
00:00:42,000 –> 00:00:42,720
You know what that means,

17
00:00:42,720 –> 00:00:43,040
don’t you?

18
00:00:43,520 –> 00:00:44,000
Yes.

19
00:00:44,240 –> 00:00:45,200
If you don’t have it,

20
00:00:45,600 –> 00:00:46,960
You can’t get on an airplane.

21
00:00:47,400 –> 00:00:49,520
But can’t you use your passport to get on the airplane?

22
00:00:49,520 –> 00:00:51,240
You can use your passport to get on an airplane.

23
00:00:51,240 –> 00:00:53,360
So if you don’t have it and you have a passport,

24
00:00:54,800 –> 00:00:55,040
you know.

25
00:00:55,040 –> 00:00:56,560
Your license isn’t good now.

26
00:00:56,720 –> 00:00:59,280
You can’t get into many federal buildings,

27
00:00:59,280 –> 00:01:00,560
military installations,

28
00:01:00,720 –> 00:01:02,080
and you can’t fly domestic.

29
00:01:02,240 –> 00:01:04,080
Most people don’t have a passport,

30
00:01:04,240 –> 00:01:04,640
by the way.

31
00:01:04,720 –> 00:01:05,560
So, you know,

32
00:01:05,560 –> 00:01:06,880
if you want to carry that around,

33
00:01:07,520 –> 00:01:07,920
good luck.

34
00:01:08,160 –> 00:01:11,040
So it’s supposed to be a star on your driver’s license,

35
00:01:11,320 –> 00:01:14,880
and you’re supposed to go in and prove your citizenship.

36
00:01:15,440 –> 00:01:16,320
your residency,

37
00:01:16,560 –> 00:01:18,000
and your social security number.

38
00:01:18,000 –> 00:01:18,560
Is that right?

39
00:01:19,040 –> 00:01:19,520
That’s right,

40
00:01:19,520 –> 00:01:19,880
isn’t it?

41
00:01:19,880 –> 00:01:21,040
That’s what’s on the website.

42
00:01:21,040 –> 00:01:21,440
All right,

43
00:01:21,440 –> 00:01:23,280
well, our favorite,

44
00:01:23,840 –> 00:01:28,800
well, why don’t we just play this?

45
00:01:28,960 –> 00:01:31,080
Don’t even think about it because we’ll get you.

46
00:01:31,280 –> 00:01:34,400
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson,

47
00:01:34,920 –> 00:01:36,800
our favorite limousine liberal,

48
00:01:37,280 –> 00:01:39,520
has a proclivity for thumbing her nostrils at the

49
00:01:39,520 –> 00:01:39,600
law.

50
00:01:39,600 –> 00:01:40,320
I’m going to live for him.

51
00:01:44,480 –> 00:01:48,080
We told you how Rolls-Royce Joyce won’t take dead people

52
00:01:48,080 –> 00:01:49,200
off the voting rolls,

53
00:01:49,520 –> 00:01:52,400
or do anything to stop foreign nationals from voting,

54
00:01:52,800 –> 00:01:55,040
or even to check signatures.

55
00:01:55,680 –> 00:02:00,000
But the latest is a real doozy that has endangered

56
00:02:00,000 –> 00:02:02,480
all its common folk who fly cargo.

57
00:02:03,680 –> 00:02:06,720
May 7th is the deadline to get a real ID.

58
00:02:07,120 –> 00:02:10,240
You must show proof of citizenship or legal residence

59
00:02:10,400 –> 00:02:12,400
and a real social security number,

60
00:02:12,640 –> 00:02:15,120
or you won’t be able to get on a plane or go into

61
00:02:15,120 –> 00:02:16,240
federal buildings.

62
00:02:16,640 –> 00:02:20,120
That’s designed to stop terrorism and could even help

63
00:02:20,320 –> 00:02:21,840
stop illegals from voting.

64
00:02:22,240 –> 00:02:23,120
Okay, it’s happening.

65
00:02:23,440 –> 00:02:24,120
Everybody stay calm.

66
00:02:24,360 –> 00:02:27,280
Federal law requires the secretary of state to scan

67
00:02:27,440 –> 00:02:31,440
and keep those documents of proof for seven years.

68
00:02:32,160 –> 00:02:35,160
Rolls-Royce Joyce told the feds she did do that.

69
00:02:35,600 –> 00:02:37,760
But it turns out she doesn’t.

70
00:02:37,920 –> 00:02:39,000
We will come for you.

71
00:02:39,200 –> 00:02:43,280
Well, Rolls-Royce Joyce just flunked a state audit.

72
00:02:43,840 –> 00:02:46,720
And now the Transportation Security Administration

73
00:02:46,960 –> 00:02:49,360
is threatening a federal audit of their own.

74
00:02:49,840 –> 00:02:52,880
And that means we might all have to go back down to

75
00:02:52,880 –> 00:02:57,520
the DMV and stand in line all over again.

76
00:03:01,440 –> 00:03:03,520
From downtown Detroit,

77
00:03:03,760 –> 00:03:08,280
it’s the No Bullshit News Hour with my main man,

78
00:03:08,560 –> 00:03:10,160
Charlie Ladell.

79
00:03:13,720 –> 00:03:14,640
And Karen Dumas.

80
00:03:14,640 –> 00:03:17,200
Still still breaking up.

81
00:03:17,680 –> 00:03:18,880
Dumb bullshit.

82
00:03:19,120 –> 00:03:20,000
Dumb bullshit.

83
00:03:20,880 –> 00:03:22,400
So how fucked is that?

84
00:03:24,360 –> 00:03:25,920
And they took,

85
00:03:25,920 –> 00:03:26,160
you know,

86
00:03:26,160 –> 00:03:28,920
the Secretary of State has a

87
00:03:29,600 –> 00:03:32,800
checklist of compliance with the TSA.

88
00:03:33,040 –> 00:03:33,160
Okay.

89
00:03:33,360 –> 00:03:33,680
Right.

90
00:03:34,080 –> 00:03:36,840
And did you keep the documentation?

91
00:03:36,840 –> 00:03:38,640
Did you keep the social security numbers and passport?

92
00:03:38,800 –> 00:03:39,360
Yes.

93
00:03:40,160 –> 00:03:40,880
They lied.

94
00:03:43,880 –> 00:03:44,440
I don’t.

95
00:03:44,560 –> 00:03:46,160
So I saw a picture of two.

96
00:03:46,160 –> 00:03:48,960
One has the state of Michigan with a star and one is

97
00:03:48,960 –> 00:03:49,760
just a star.

98
00:03:50,000 –> 00:03:51,120
Are they the same thing?

99
00:03:51,120 –> 00:03:52,240
Are they two different things?

100
00:03:52,360 –> 00:03:52,640
I mean.

101
00:03:52,640 –> 00:03:53,520
Yes, they’re the same thing.

102
00:03:53,760 –> 00:03:56,960
There’s real ID and then there’s enhanced ID.

103
00:03:57,200 –> 00:03:59,040
And what’s enhanced?

104
00:03:59,040 –> 00:03:59,680
I’m confused.

105
00:03:59,720 –> 00:04:01,440
Isn’t an enhanced ID a real ID?

106
00:04:01,440 –> 00:04:02,160
That’s what I thought it was.

107
00:04:02,160 –> 00:04:06,000
No, no, like one one’s got some it’s got your like.

108
00:04:07,840 –> 00:04:11,760
Biometric numbers on the back like mine mine just has

109
00:04:11,760 –> 00:04:15,320
the star like I am who I am and So wait a minute,

110
00:04:15,320 –> 00:04:16,280
what is it supposed to be?

111
00:04:16,280 –> 00:04:17,840
You know, you’re supposed to prepare for the show.

112
00:04:18,480 –> 00:04:19,600
I did Charlie,

113
00:04:19,600 –> 00:04:20,160
but I’m like,

114
00:04:20,160 –> 00:04:20,280
not.

115
00:04:20,480 –> 00:04:22,040
You can’t come on here with questions.

116
00:04:22,040 –> 00:04:22,640
What am I?

117
00:04:22,640 –> 00:04:23,920
Yeah, because I mean,

118
00:04:24,360 –> 00:04:26,760
I’m sure some other people are thinking.

119
00:04:26,880 –> 00:04:28,080
Look at fucking up.

120
00:04:29,360 –> 00:04:32,960
Get your social security card and your birth certificate

121
00:04:33,440 –> 00:04:35,040
because dummy Ken over here.

122
00:04:35,080 –> 00:04:35,560
How old are you,

123
00:04:35,680 –> 00:04:35,920
man?

124
00:04:37,040 –> 00:04:38,040
He’s 45.

125
00:04:38,040 –> 00:04:38,880
He doesn’t have a,

126
00:04:39,360 –> 00:04:41,120
he goes, he doesn’t have his birth certificate.

127
00:04:41,360 –> 00:04:42,680
His passport’s expired.

128
00:04:42,680 –> 00:04:43,200
And he goes,

129
00:04:43,280 –> 00:04:45,840
he goes, we’re sitting in the car because we got a

130
00:04:46,120 –> 00:04:48,120
real, real scandal brewing.

131
00:04:48,120 –> 00:04:49,520
We’re filming in the rain and Ken goes,

132
00:04:49,840 –> 00:04:51,160
I got my social security card.

133
00:04:51,600 –> 00:04:53,040
And he’s digging through this shit.

134
00:04:53,280 –> 00:04:53,680
And he’s like,

135
00:04:53,720 –> 00:04:54,000
oh, look,

136
00:04:54,000 –> 00:04:55,440
there’s my high school ID.

137
00:04:55,440 –> 00:04:57,600
And he hadn’t been through his wallet in so long.

138
00:04:57,880 –> 00:04:59,200
And at the bottom of it,

139
00:04:59,360 –> 00:05:02,120
like, like when you leave paper in your pocket and

140
00:05:02,240 –> 00:05:03,400
wash it, he goes,

141
00:05:03,400 –> 00:05:04,800
this is my social security card.

142
00:05:06,880 –> 00:05:07,760
And it looked like,

143
00:05:08,080 –> 00:05:09,760
like, like he chewed it.

144
00:05:09,880 –> 00:05:10,240
And I’m like,

145
00:05:10,480 –> 00:05:12,280
dude, there’s one number left.

146
00:05:12,720 –> 00:05:14,800
So do you exist,

147
00:05:14,800 –> 00:05:16,880
Ken, if you don’t have all this stuff anymore?

148
00:05:16,960 –> 00:05:17,320
I mean.

149
00:05:17,520 –> 00:05:18,400
Not to the TSA,

150
00:05:18,400 –> 00:05:19,360
he doesn’t know.

151
00:05:19,520 –> 00:05:20,080
So wait a minute,

152
00:05:20,080 –> 00:05:21,120
I just have a star.

153
00:05:21,120 –> 00:05:23,000
It’s not in the state of Michigan.

154
00:05:23,000 –> 00:05:23,600
Yeah, let me see.

155
00:05:24,160 –> 00:05:25,760
No, let me see the back of it.

156
00:05:25,760 –> 00:05:26,840
I’ll just tell you if it’s in hand.

157
00:05:27,040 –> 00:05:28,400
The enhanced ID,

158
00:05:29,280 –> 00:05:30,280
it’s a passport,

159
00:05:30,280 –> 00:05:30,880
basically,

160
00:05:30,920 –> 00:05:33,520
and it allows you to fly

161
00:05:34,000 –> 00:05:37,120
into Mexico and Canada and the Bahamas or drive in.

162
00:05:37,120 –> 00:05:38,880
Like you don’t have to show a passport.

163
00:05:39,360 –> 00:05:41,960
So it’s basically a passport to drive to the Bahamas.

164
00:05:41,960 –> 00:05:42,720
See, on the back,

165
00:05:43,440 –> 00:05:43,840
on the back,

166
00:05:43,840 –> 00:05:44,560
it doesn’t have like,

167
00:05:44,640 –> 00:05:45,080
you know,

168
00:05:45,080 –> 00:05:45,880
like a passport.

169
00:05:46,400 –> 00:05:49,120
No, this is that you can get on a plane with that.

170
00:05:49,120 –> 00:05:50,760
I have a passport.

171
00:05:51,120 –> 00:05:54,320
I know, but like if you were flying to Canada or if

172
00:05:54,320 –> 00:05:56,480
you’re flying to like Houston,

173
00:05:56,560 –> 00:05:58,320
why would you carry your passport?

174
00:05:58,440 –> 00:05:58,720
Right?

175
00:06:00,720 –> 00:06:02,240
So this isn’t an enhanced ID.

176
00:06:02,480 –> 00:06:03,120
This is, I mean,

177
00:06:03,120 –> 00:06:04,880
this isn’t a real ID.

178
00:06:05,120 –> 00:06:05,600
All right.

179
00:06:05,680 –> 00:06:06,640
Come back next week.

180
00:06:06,640 –> 00:06:08,240
Study up on it and come back next week.

181
00:06:09,280 –> 00:06:10,240
Should I bring my passport?

182
00:06:10,240 –> 00:06:10,560
What am I,

183
00:06:10,720 –> 00:06:12,640
Secretary of Fucking State?

184
00:06:12,720 –> 00:06:13,920
You should be,

185
00:06:13,920 –> 00:06:14,440
Charlie.

186
00:06:14,440 –> 00:06:15,640
I mean, I would have scanned it,

187
00:06:15,640 –> 00:06:16,040
but like,

188
00:06:16,040 –> 00:06:16,240
you know,

189
00:06:16,240 –> 00:06:18,320
let’s really think that through for a minute,

190
00:06:18,320 –> 00:06:20,880
because as the piece said,

191
00:06:21,280 –> 00:06:23,040
that can also be you,

192
00:06:23,760 –> 00:06:25,040
keeping the information.

193
00:06:25,520 –> 00:06:26,840
proves you’re a citizen.

194
00:06:26,840 –> 00:06:29,040
Remember what the Secretary of State also does.

195
00:06:29,360 –> 00:06:31,120
You’re in charge of the voting rolls.

196
00:06:31,280 –> 00:06:31,520
Right.

197
00:06:31,680 –> 00:06:34,720
And I don’t see any mass conspiracy.

198
00:06:34,720 –> 00:06:35,200
I had, you know,

199
00:06:35,200 –> 00:06:35,680
I worked,

200
00:06:35,840 –> 00:06:38,400
I worked the election polls and stuff.

201
00:06:39,040 –> 00:06:40,280
But if 40%

202
00:06:40,280 –> 00:06:44,240
of Americans don’t have faith in the election system,

203
00:06:44,520 –> 00:06:48,400
when the Secretary of State proves she has no idea

204
00:06:48,400 –> 00:06:50,520
how many non-citizens are voting,

205
00:06:50,520 –> 00:06:53,920
it went from 1 to 15 to 16.

206
00:06:54,000 –> 00:06:57,440
We really don’t have the computer power to match up.

207
00:06:57,680 –> 00:07:00,520
You know, if you register to vote without an ID and

208
00:07:00,520 –> 00:07:01,200
if you actually,

209
00:07:01,200 –> 00:07:02,000
she can’t do it,

210
00:07:02,080 –> 00:07:03,280
but she tells us she can.

211
00:07:03,520 –> 00:07:04,320
With this,

212
00:07:05,280 –> 00:07:05,320
80%

213
00:07:06,440 –> 00:07:09,880
of eight people 18 years and older have a real ID or

214
00:07:09,880 –> 00:07:10,800
an enhanced ID.

215
00:07:11,040 –> 00:07:12,840
They’ve already got the stuff.

216
00:07:13,120 –> 00:07:15,120
So why aren’t you keeping it,

217
00:07:15,120 –> 00:07:15,840
Jocelyn?

218
00:07:16,720 –> 00:07:19,680
You’re breaking federal law on what this could mean.

219
00:07:20,240 –> 00:07:21,520
If the feds are pissed,

220
00:07:22,160 –> 00:07:23,360
they’re fucking pissed.

221
00:07:23,520 –> 00:07:25,040
You can read it in that audit.

222
00:07:25,680 –> 00:07:27,680
They might come in here and audit her.

223
00:07:27,680 –> 00:07:30,120
And if fully 50%

224
00:07:30,600 –> 00:07:32,960
of the people with enhanced or real IDs

225
00:07:33,760 –> 00:07:36,400
Their information hasn’t been preserved.

226
00:07:37,120 –> 00:07:38,640
They got to come back to the DMV.

227
00:07:38,960 –> 00:07:40,320
And stand in line all day.

228
00:07:40,320 –> 00:07:42,000
So maybe they’re coming for her.

229
00:07:42,880 –> 00:07:44,560
This is just ridiculous.

230
00:07:44,640 –> 00:07:44,800
I know.

231
00:07:45,040 –> 00:07:47,680
I mean, it will be different if things were more efficient

232
00:07:47,760 –> 00:07:49,400
and just maybe there was an oversight.

233
00:07:49,400 –> 00:07:50,200
But this is just,

234
00:07:50,200 –> 00:07:53,120
and that’s that’s an insane waste of time.

235
00:07:53,560 –> 00:07:54,400
What a dope.

236
00:07:54,720 –> 00:07:55,920
I mean, it is.

237
00:07:55,920 –> 00:07:57,920
Even if you have an appointment to go to the Secretary

238
00:07:57,920 –> 00:07:58,240
of State,

239
00:07:58,240 –> 00:07:59,280
you still sit there for

240
00:08:00,640 –> 00:08:01,040
Okay, well,

241
00:08:01,040 –> 00:08:02,040
that’s exclusive.

242
00:08:02,040 –> 00:08:03,520
And if you want to see it,

243
00:08:03,520 –> 00:08:04,880
you want to see Ken’s work here.

244
00:08:04,880 –> 00:08:05,600
It’s puts,

245
00:08:05,880 –> 00:08:07,000
what do you make of the video?

246
00:08:07,000 –> 00:08:07,520
Oh, it’s great.

247
00:08:07,640 –> 00:08:08,400
He does good editing,

248
00:08:08,400 –> 00:08:08,560
yeah.

249
00:08:08,720 –> 00:08:09,680
Freaking hilarious.

250
00:08:09,760 –> 00:08:11,360
I’m that kind of nerd that likes good editing.

251
00:08:11,600 –> 00:08:12,640
I love good editing.

252
00:08:13,160 –> 00:08:14,400
And I called Ken up,

253
00:08:14,400 –> 00:08:14,760
yes, I go,

254
00:08:14,760 –> 00:08:15,640
how’s the video going?

255
00:08:15,640 –> 00:08:17,880
He said, because you know,

256
00:08:17,880 –> 00:08:18,240
we don’t,

257
00:08:18,960 –> 00:08:21,760
because we want to use some of the old editing Ken

258
00:08:21,760 –> 00:08:24,000
did because it’s really funny and we want to do new.

259
00:08:24,320 –> 00:08:24,800
He’s like,

260
00:08:25,880 –> 00:08:26,240
and I’m like,

261
00:08:26,480 –> 00:08:27,520
if you need any inspiration,

262
00:08:27,520 –> 00:08:28,080
just call him.

263
00:08:30,000 –> 00:08:30,440
And I’m like,

264
00:08:30,440 –> 00:08:32,480
oh, this is going to be real shit.

265
00:08:32,960 –> 00:08:33,520
It’s going to be,

266
00:08:33,920 –> 00:08:35,440
it’s going to be real shit.

267
00:08:35,440 –> 00:08:36,080
You know what I mean?

268
00:08:36,080 –> 00:08:36,720
I’m going to have to,

269
00:08:36,880 –> 00:08:38,280
oh, Ken, back to the drawing board.

270
00:08:38,880 –> 00:08:39,840
And he sent it.

271
00:08:40,680 –> 00:08:41,040
I watched it,

272
00:08:41,040 –> 00:08:41,560
it was great.

273
00:08:41,560 –> 00:08:42,320
And I called him and I go,

274
00:08:42,320 –> 00:08:43,040
he goes, yeah.

275
00:08:43,120 –> 00:08:45,000
I said, I go,

276
00:08:45,000 –> 00:08:45,400
it’s great.

277
00:08:45,400 –> 00:08:46,640
He goes, oh,

278
00:08:47,440 –> 00:08:49,360
well, he was very happy about it,

279
00:08:49,360 –> 00:08:49,600
you know?

280
00:08:49,600 –> 00:08:50,960
So if you want to see it,

281
00:08:50,960 –> 00:08:52,640
you can go to X,

282
00:08:52,640 –> 00:08:53,680
just Charlie LaDuff.

283
00:08:53,680 –> 00:08:55,760
You can go to Facebook,

287
00:09:00,160 –> 00:09:00,400
Yes.

288
00:09:00,880 –> 00:09:02,400
Okay, and you can go to our website.

289
00:09:03,080 –> 00:09:05,040
Yeah, there you go.

00:09:05,200 –> 00:09:05,680
You got it.

291
00:09:05,680 –> 00:09:07,200
Or you can go to Michigan Enjoyer,

292
00:09:07,640 –> 00:09:09,760

293

294
00:09:10,360 –> 00:09:12,880
And you can read the column and there’s,

295
00:09:13,800 –> 00:09:14,120
that’s that.

296
00:09:14,120 –> 00:09:14,240
Okay.

297
00:09:14,320 –> 00:09:14,680
Beautiful.

298
00:09:15,200 –> 00:09:16,240
See, I worked all that shit out.

Did I do it right?

304
00:09:24,320 –> 00:09:25,040
close enough.

How do you do that one?

311
00:09:35,240 –> 00:09:36,240
You just go to Spotify.

312
00:09:36,320 –> 00:09:39,200
And there’s video there too.

313
00:09:39,200 –> 00:09:39,880
There’s video there.

314
00:09:40,000 –> 00:09:41,040
Oh, they changed it.

315
00:09:41,440 –> 00:09:41,800
Okay.

316
00:09:41,800 –> 00:09:42,680

318
00:09:46,080 –> 00:09:46,480
baby.

319
00:09:46,480 –> 00:09:47,120
High 5.

320
00:09:47,120 –> 00:09:47,520
All right.

321
00:09:47,600 –> 00:09:51,360
Now, what’s else in the news before we get to Jedidiah

322
00:09:51,680 –> 00:09:52,560
and solitary?

323
00:09:53,800 –> 00:09:54,720
Sri Tandahar,

324
00:09:54,720 –> 00:09:54,840
the

325
00:09:55,760 –> 00:09:56,400
Detroit.

326
00:09:56,560 –> 00:09:58,000
No, he’s not just Detroit.

327
00:09:58,000 –> 00:10:00,080
He’s also Grosse Pointe and Taylor.

328
00:10:00,160 –> 00:10:03,120
It’s the weirdest congressional district ever.

329
00:10:03,360 –> 00:10:06,800
It’s 13th congressional district here in Michigan.

330
00:10:07,200 –> 00:10:10,880
And he’s made himself some news here.

331
00:10:11,160 –> 00:10:13,240
Do we have a little clip of Sri?

332
00:10:13,800 –> 00:10:14,480
Okay, let’s do that.

333
00:10:15,440 –> 00:10:17,440
This is Congressman Sri Thanedar.

334
00:10:18,080 –> 00:10:22,400
Donald Trump has already done real damage to our democracy.

335
00:10:22,800 –> 00:10:27,120
but defying A unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court ruling?

336
00:10:27,680 –> 00:10:29,360
That has to be the final straw.

337
00:10:29,440 –> 00:10:32,080
It’s time we impeach Donald J.

338
00:10:32,320 –> 00:10:32,640
Trump.

339
00:10:33,120 –> 00:10:37,120
The court said the wrongfully deported Kilmer Garcia

340
00:10:37,360 –> 00:10:40,640
must be allowed to return and receive due process.

341
00:10:41,040 –> 00:10:42,480
Trump ignored it.

342
00:10:42,640 –> 00:10:44,560
He ignored the Constitution.

343
00:10:47,800 –> 00:10:48,800
I’m not going to say it.

344
00:10:49,160 –> 00:10:49,960
Okay, let me start.

345
00:10:50,080 –> 00:10:50,560
It’s real.

346
00:10:51,000 –> 00:10:52,320
I know, but I’m not gonna say it.

347
00:10:52,480 –> 00:10:53,200
Let me start here.

348
00:10:53,200 –> 00:10:54,800
Let’s all you due process people.

349
00:10:56,160 –> 00:11:02,480
It’s it’s I believe Garcia should be a Brega Garcia,

350
00:11:02,760 –> 00:11:03,040
Mr.

351
00:11:03,040 –> 00:11:03,600
Congressman,

352
00:11:03,600 –> 00:11:04,080
by the way,

353
00:11:04,280 –> 00:11:04,880
hyphenate,

354
00:11:04,880 –> 00:11:05,760
that’s his full last name.

355
00:11:07,440 –> 00:11:12,400
The process is he’s been ordered deported.

356
00:11:13,600 –> 00:11:14,080
Twice.

357
00:11:14,320 –> 00:11:15,240
That’s the process.

358
00:11:15,240 –> 00:11:17,920
So the dude is getting fucking deported.

359
00:11:17,920 –> 00:11:19,400
Now at the tail end of it,

360
00:11:19,400 –> 00:11:23,600
which was he was not to be deported back to El Salvador.

361
00:11:23,920 –> 00:11:24,800
He was.

362
00:11:25,920 –> 00:11:27,760
Supreme Court said you got to try to get him.

363
00:11:27,760 –> 00:11:28,800
You don’t got to try hard.

364
00:11:28,880 –> 00:11:29,360
Okay.

365
00:11:30,240 –> 00:11:33,120
Because you broke that piece of the process.

366
00:11:33,840 –> 00:11:39,040
However, when Trump decrees that MS-13,

367
00:11:39,040 –> 00:11:40,240
which the courts found,

368
00:11:40,880 –> 00:11:42,240
but I got to say to be part of,

369
00:11:43,920 –> 00:11:44,920
You’re part of a internet.

370
00:11:45,040 –> 00:11:46,280
national terrorist organization.

371
00:11:46,440 –> 00:11:49,560
So process doesn’t apply to you anymore.

372
00:11:49,640 –> 00:11:50,840
That’s the process,

373
00:11:50,920 –> 00:11:51,160
right?

374
00:11:51,160 –> 00:11:51,880
If you’re a terrorist,

375
00:11:52,040 –> 00:11:53,560
bam, there’s no process.

376
00:11:53,880 –> 00:11:58,040
Now, nobody’s adjudicated if that’s the process.

377
00:11:58,040 –> 00:12:00,120
Like the withholding order doesn’t apply.

378
00:12:00,120 –> 00:12:01,800
It will be found to be that way,

379
00:12:02,360 –> 00:12:02,680
right?

380
00:12:03,160 –> 00:12:03,720
Or it won’t.

381
00:12:04,120 –> 00:12:06,840
So he’s going to be deported anywhere else but El Salvador.

382
00:12:07,040 –> 00:12:08,360
I’m here in Libya now,

383
00:12:08,520 –> 00:12:09,240
New York Times,

384
00:12:09,240 –> 00:12:10,280
like Libya.

385
00:12:10,520 –> 00:12:12,560
How would you like to be in prison in Libya?

386
00:12:13,400 –> 00:12:15,240
Fuck, leave me in El Salvador,

387
00:12:15,240 –> 00:12:15,560
bro.

388
00:12:15,560 –> 00:12:17,240
Woo, shit.

389
00:12:17,640 –> 00:12:20,520
Okay, so that’s the process.

390
00:12:22,360 –> 00:12:24,280
Immigrants do have constitutional rights.

391
00:12:24,600 –> 00:12:25,560
They absolutely do.

392
00:12:25,640 –> 00:12:26,840
First Amendment applies to them.

393
00:12:27,000 –> 00:12:28,680
You can stand where you want,

394
00:12:28,680 –> 00:12:29,480
pray how you want,

395
00:12:29,480 –> 00:12:30,520
protest how you want.

396
00:12:30,680 –> 00:12:31,800
However, it’s limited.

397
00:12:32,280 –> 00:12:34,200
You don’t have the full constitutional right.

398
00:12:34,360 –> 00:12:37,960
You can’t express support for a terrorist organization.

399
00:12:38,120 –> 00:12:38,680
You can’t.

400
00:12:38,680 –> 00:12:39,720
You’re deported,

401
00:12:39,720 –> 00:12:40,120
bang.

402
00:12:40,440 –> 00:12:41,160
Second Amendment,

403
00:12:41,160 –> 00:12:42,120
you can’t have a gun.

404
00:12:42,920 –> 00:12:43,640
Eighth Amendment,

405
00:12:43,640 –> 00:12:45,640
there’s a process above it,

406
00:12:45,640 –> 00:12:50,920
which is the Immigration and Nationality Act that

407
00:12:50,920 –> 00:12:51,640
applies to you.

408
00:12:51,640 –> 00:12:54,120
So if you’re arrested by ICE,

409
00:12:54,120 –> 00:12:55,000
you don’t get bail.

410
00:12:55,560 –> 00:12:56,840
You see what I’m saying here.

411
00:12:57,240 –> 00:13:00,520
So if you claimed asylum,

412
00:13:00,520 –> 00:13:01,880
put that away for a minute.

413
00:13:02,280 –> 00:13:03,560
If you didn’t claim asylum,

414
00:13:03,560 –> 00:13:04,360
you’re here illegally.

415
00:13:05,080 –> 00:13:07,160
gone, but expedited removal.

416
00:13:07,480 –> 00:13:10,360
If you did claim asylum and you didn’t show up to asylum

417
00:13:10,360 –> 00:13:12,520
court or you committed a crime,

418
00:13:13,320 –> 00:13:14,120
you’re out of here.

419
00:13:15,120 –> 00:13:15,280
Right?

420
00:13:15,440 –> 00:13:16,520
That’s the process.

421
00:13:16,600 –> 00:13:18,160
I don’t understand anything else,

422
00:13:18,160 –> 00:13:18,440
Shri.

423
00:13:19,080 –> 00:13:19,560
I don’t know.

424
00:13:19,880 –> 00:13:21,320
You voted twice to impeach the guy.

425
00:13:21,560 –> 00:13:22,200
I don’t know.

426
00:13:22,280 –> 00:13:23,640
But here’s what I do know.

427
00:13:24,120 –> 00:13:25,560
When you went bankrupt,

428
00:13:26,280 –> 00:13:29,080
and you had to give your pharmaceutical testing lab

429
00:13:29,080 –> 00:13:29,640
to the bank,

430
00:13:29,880 –> 00:13:33,080
you forgot to let Snoopy out of the cage.

431
00:13:33,160 –> 00:13:36,200
There was 110 beagles starving today.

432
00:13:36,200 –> 00:13:36,720
Roll it.

433
00:13:41,480 –> 00:13:44,200
We believe that they have never been outside ever.

434
00:13:45,200 –> 00:13:48,040
I don’t think that they’ve actually had their paws

435
00:13:48,040 –> 00:13:48,760
on the grass.

436
00:13:49,280 –> 00:13:50,080
When I walked in here,

437
00:13:50,080 –> 00:13:51,440
it looked like they were walking in eggshells.

438
00:13:51,440 –> 00:13:53,040
They were afraid to walk on the grass.

439
00:13:53,040 –> 00:13:54,160
It’s okay.

440
00:13:56,440 –> 00:13:57,920
These are animals that don’t understand.

441
00:13:58,840 –> 00:14:00,360
Puppy killer dog really is.

442
00:14:00,840 –> 00:14:02,360
All right.

443
00:14:04,040 –> 00:14:04,440
Everybody.

444
00:14:04,440 –> 00:14:05,160
Oh, there you go.

445
00:14:05,160 –> 00:14:05,640
Right there.

446
00:14:05,640 –> 00:14:07,000
That’s going to be the cover art.

447
00:14:07,000 –> 00:14:09,200
The little puppy nose.

448
00:14:09,320 –> 00:14:10,480
How can you do it,

449
00:14:10,480 –> 00:14:10,800
Sri?

450
00:14:10,800 –> 00:14:12,120
How can you do it?

451
00:14:12,440 –> 00:14:12,920
Okay.

452
00:14:13,320 –> 00:14:14,520
Now, Sri Tanahar,

453
00:14:15,160 –> 00:14:15,640
obviously,

454
00:14:15,640 –> 00:14:15,840
you know,

455
00:14:15,840 –> 00:14:16,920
not from around here.

456
00:14:17,440 –> 00:14:23,240
It’s really weird that Detroit has no black representation

457
00:14:24,360 –> 00:14:25,160
in Congress.

458
00:14:25,560 –> 00:14:28,040
It’s beyond me because I think they violated the civil

459
00:14:28,040 –> 00:14:29,640
rights vote,

460
00:14:29,880 –> 00:14:32,840
the Voting Rights Act.

461
00:14:33,560 –> 00:14:35,680
Yeah, they redistrict it.

462
00:14:35,680 –> 00:14:36,760
You can’t do it.

463
00:14:37,240 –> 00:14:40,840
Anyway, so how does Shree self-funds himself?

464
00:14:41,560 –> 00:14:42,240
Okay, he does.

465
00:14:42,240 –> 00:14:43,960
He’s like 5 million,

466
00:14:44,200 –> 00:14:44,760
you know,

467
00:14:44,760 –> 00:14:46,040
you can outspend everybody that way.

468
00:14:46,600 –> 00:14:47,880
But here’s the deal with Shree.

469
00:14:48,680 –> 00:14:50,200
If you look at his campaign filings,

470
00:14:50,680 –> 00:14:51,440
he owes about

471
00:14:52,360 –> 00:14:55,080
The campaign is about $800,000 in debt.

472
00:14:55,960 –> 00:14:56,360
Okay.

473
00:14:56,760 –> 00:15:01,800
And Shri made a loan to his campaign.

474
00:15:02,040 –> 00:15:05,960
So Shri must be repaid.

475
00:15:06,600 –> 00:15:07,000
You gotta,

476
00:15:07,160 –> 00:15:10,920
you can’t do it there or he can pay it off.

477
00:15:11,800 –> 00:15:13,000
You’re allowed to,

478
00:15:13,880 –> 00:15:14,680
without limit,

479
00:15:15,560 –> 00:15:16,440
contribute to yourself,

480
00:15:16,440 –> 00:15:16,640
right?

481
00:15:17,000 –> 00:15:18,760
So Sri doesn’t want to eat to 800.

482
00:15:18,760 –> 00:15:20,840
Why is there a negative balance?

483
00:15:21,240 –> 00:15:24,520
So if you decide you’re going to prance around and

484
00:15:24,600 –> 00:15:26,680
we’re going to have to impeach Trump,

485
00:15:26,840 –> 00:15:28,040
you’re going to get donations.

486
00:15:28,520 –> 00:15:31,360
Because the only person that donates to Sri is like

487
00:15:31,360 –> 00:15:31,760
Sri.

488
00:15:31,760 –> 00:15:33,400
A couple of other guys,

489
00:15:33,760 –> 00:15:33,920
right?

490
00:15:34,760 –> 00:15:35,920
You know, from the old days,

491
00:15:35,920 –> 00:15:36,680
a couple of guys,

492
00:15:36,680 –> 00:15:37,320
but it’s Sri.

493
00:15:37,640 –> 00:15:40,120
And he didn’t make that much money.

494
00:15:40,680 –> 00:15:43,560
If it costs him 5 million out of his own pocket every

495
00:15:43,560 –> 00:15:45,360
two years to keep his fucking seat,

496
00:15:45,640 –> 00:15:46,600
you can see the game.

497
00:15:47,120 –> 00:15:48,920
And it’s a paid for seat.

498
00:15:49,400 –> 00:15:50,920
I mean, it is a paid for seat.

499
00:15:51,240 –> 00:15:52,680
And he’s got and he’s got election.

500
00:15:52,680 –> 00:15:54,760
I mean, he’s got some competition this time around.

501
00:15:54,920 –> 00:15:55,280
Right.

502
00:15:55,280 –> 00:15:55,720
He does.

503
00:15:55,720 –> 00:15:58,520
Adam Olier and Donovan Donovan McKinney,

504
00:15:58,520 –> 00:16:00,520
state rep from the 11th district.

505
00:16:00,520 –> 00:16:01,880
So they’re running and.

506
00:16:03,320 –> 00:16:06,200
people are expecting that to pull away from Cherie.

507
00:16:06,200 –> 00:16:08,720
So I would expect something like this announcement

508
00:16:08,720 –> 00:16:10,200
to impeach Trump to,

509
00:16:10,280 –> 00:16:10,760
you know,

510
00:16:11,320 –> 00:16:15,000
try to establish some relevancy and some attention

511
00:16:15,320 –> 00:16:17,240
to him and his campaign.

512
00:16:17,400 –> 00:16:19,280
I mean, he’s he’s taking advantage of the seat that

513
00:16:19,280 –> 00:16:20,280
he currently holds.

514
00:16:20,920 –> 00:16:24,120
But at what cost?

515
00:16:24,120 –> 00:16:27,280
Because he came across as a total joke doing this and

516
00:16:27,280 –> 00:16:28,880
everyone’s laughing at him.

517
00:16:28,880 –> 00:16:31,640
He has no power in Congress and I don’t think his constituents

518
00:16:31,640 –> 00:16:31,960
like him.

519
00:16:32,040 –> 00:16:34,200
But is this any worse than him dancing in front of

520
00:16:34,200 –> 00:16:35,320
the Spirit of Detroit,

521
00:16:35,480 –> 00:16:36,280
which is what he did,

522
00:16:36,280 –> 00:16:37,920
which I thought was equally ridiculous.

523
00:16:38,200 –> 00:16:40,680
In a way, it is worse because it mucks everything up.

524
00:16:40,720 –> 00:16:42,240
And even if you don’t like Trump,

525
00:16:42,600 –> 00:16:42,840
you know,

526
00:16:43,000 –> 00:16:43,560
like he says,

527
00:16:43,560 –> 00:16:45,880
violating the Supreme Court 9-0 decision.

528
00:16:46,360 –> 00:16:47,400
You’re going to impeach him now,

529
00:16:47,400 –> 00:16:47,880
right now?

530
00:16:47,880 –> 00:16:48,920
Like you’re starting this now?

531
00:16:48,920 –> 00:16:50,920
I mean, it seems more logical that he’s trying to raise

532
00:16:50,920 –> 00:16:51,800
money off of it.

533
00:16:51,880 –> 00:16:54,040
Yeah, but people don’t think at that level though,

534
00:16:54,040 –> 00:16:54,360
Mark.

535
00:16:54,360 –> 00:16:56,280
All they see is the attention and they hear Trump.

536
00:16:56,280 –> 00:16:58,440
So people that are anti-Trump just buy into it.

537
00:16:59,400 –> 00:17:01,000
Yeah, it’s all bullshit.

538
00:17:01,000 –> 00:17:02,200
The media’s in on it too,

539
00:17:02,200 –> 00:17:02,960
because, look,

540
00:17:02,960 –> 00:17:03,240
I mean.

541
00:17:03,320 –> 00:17:05,080
Well, he makes good copy.

542
00:17:05,160 –> 00:17:05,560
He does.

543
00:17:05,560 –> 00:17:07,000
He’s still filling our air,

544
00:17:07,000 –> 00:17:07,640
you know what I mean?

545
00:17:07,960 –> 00:17:09,400
But that dude,

546
00:17:10,600 –> 00:17:12,520
when he was living on the west side,

547
00:17:12,920 –> 00:17:13,800
we had to move,

548
00:17:13,800 –> 00:17:14,040
you know,

549
00:17:14,200 –> 00:17:16,200
he’s asking me to take him around and show him where

550
00:17:16,200 –> 00:17:19,720
all the poison pits are in the in the demolition shit.

551
00:17:19,960 –> 00:17:20,760
And I did.

552
00:17:21,840 –> 00:17:23,240
And he never did anything about it.

553
00:17:23,640 –> 00:17:25,080
He never did anything about it.

554
00:17:25,160 –> 00:17:26,680
He never said anything about it.

555
00:17:26,840 –> 00:17:28,440
All the politicians do that.

556
00:17:28,680 –> 00:17:31,000
And while the Democrats are walking around screaming

557
00:17:31,080 –> 00:17:32,600
about environmental racism,

558
00:17:32,760 –> 00:17:33,800
they were committing it.

559
00:17:34,200 –> 00:17:36,280
They were absolutely committing it.

560
00:17:36,520 –> 00:17:39,120
And I don’t know how many thousands of holes got shit

561
00:17:39,120 –> 00:17:41,320
in them, but we’re going to have more on that in a

562
00:17:41,320 –> 00:17:42,120
couple of weeks.

563
00:17:42,360 –> 00:17:43,400
Sri Tanhar,

564
00:17:43,880 –> 00:17:47,000
you represent the points and you represent

565
00:17:47,640 –> 00:17:50,520
48205, 4820 die,

566
00:17:50,760 –> 00:17:51,880
east side of Detroit,

567
00:17:52,040 –> 00:17:54,680
one of the poorest districts,

568
00:17:55,160 –> 00:17:57,080
zip codes in the United States.

569
00:17:57,720 –> 00:18:01,200
One of the most violent zip codes in the United States.

570
00:18:01,560 –> 00:18:03,240
No one sees you around there.

571
00:18:03,400 –> 00:18:05,320
Nothing’s changing over there.

572
00:18:05,480 –> 00:18:08,520
Why don’t you get off the fucking internet and help

573
00:18:08,520 –> 00:18:09,960
the people you represent?

574
00:18:11,680 –> 00:18:12,440
What did you say,

575
00:18:12,440 –> 00:18:15,080
Charlie, on break when you were talking about what

576
00:18:15,080 –> 00:18:17,400
you learned in your political class,

577
00:18:17,400 –> 00:18:20,280
what you said your teaching assistant told you that

578
00:18:20,280 –> 00:18:23,680
still holds true today about the goal of a politician?

579
00:18:23,720 –> 00:18:25,440
Poli-sci 101,

580
00:18:25,440 –> 00:18:26,680
the American system,

581
00:18:26,760 –> 00:18:33,080
yep, the teaching assistant said the number one issue,

582
00:18:33,160 –> 00:18:34,520
the number one job,

583
00:18:35,080 –> 00:18:37,800
the number one goal of a politician is to get reelected.

584
00:18:37,840 –> 00:18:38,280
And that’s it.

585
00:18:38,760 –> 00:18:39,560
At any cost,

586
00:18:39,560 –> 00:18:40,400
at any expense.

587
00:18:40,560 –> 00:18:42,120
And just, but that’s fine.

588
00:18:42,280 –> 00:18:43,480
But stop bullshitting.

589
00:18:43,800 –> 00:18:44,760
No, it’s not fine,

590
00:18:44,760 –> 00:18:46,480
Charlie, when it’s at the expense of the people who

591
00:18:46,480 –> 00:18:47,040
elected you.

592
00:18:47,080 –> 00:18:48,040
I mean, that’s fine.

593
00:18:48,280 –> 00:18:49,080
But you know,

594
00:18:49,160 –> 00:18:50,120
you earn it.

595
00:18:50,200 –> 00:18:51,760
Yeah, but they don’t have to.

596
00:18:52,760 –> 00:18:54,280
Their accountability isn’t there.

597
00:18:54,280 –> 00:18:55,080
Oh, just be,

598
00:18:55,160 –> 00:18:55,640
oh, you know,

599
00:18:55,760 –> 00:18:56,920
and does this work?

600
00:18:56,920 –> 00:18:59,080
Look, the media’s running around.

601
00:18:59,080 –> 00:19:00,360
Free Press does a poll,

602
00:19:00,360 –> 00:19:00,680
right?

603
00:19:00,680 –> 00:19:02,200
Okay, Trump’s approval rating.

604
00:19:03,400 –> 00:19:04,600
When he took office,

605
00:19:05,320 –> 00:19:08,840
It was, his approval was 46 in Michigan and his disapproval

606
00:19:08,840 –> 00:19:09,720
was 49.

607
00:19:10,120 –> 00:19:12,800
Now with all the up and down and the impeachment stuff,

608
00:19:13,720 –> 00:19:15,640
it went from 46 to 43,

609
00:19:16,040 –> 00:19:17,000
his approval rating.

610
00:19:17,320 –> 00:19:21,240
And his disapproval rating went from 49 to 50.

611
00:19:21,240 –> 00:19:22,280
So nothing moved.

612
00:19:23,240 –> 00:19:23,560
Right?

613
00:19:23,560 –> 00:19:23,960
Nothing.

614
00:19:24,120 –> 00:19:25,760
That’s actually higher than I thought it was going

615
00:19:25,760 –> 00:19:26,040
to be.

616
00:19:26,760 –> 00:19:28,000
Well, but you know polls,

617
00:19:28,000 –> 00:19:29,720
Charlie, so that’s another thing.

618
00:19:29,800 –> 00:19:30,840
I know the media.

619
00:19:31,400 –> 00:19:32,000
You know what I mean?

620
00:19:32,000 –> 00:19:32,920
I know the media.

621
00:19:32,920 –> 00:19:35,320
Like, have prices gone up yet?

622
00:19:35,880 –> 00:19:36,200
No.

623
00:19:36,440 –> 00:19:38,360
So why is everybody tripping on tariffs?

624
00:19:38,440 –> 00:19:39,400
Has gas gone down?

625
00:19:39,800 –> 00:19:40,720
Has eggs gone down?

626
00:19:41,800 –> 00:19:46,760
The Dow Jones is about where it was at Inauguration

627
00:19:46,760 –> 00:19:47,000
Day.

628
00:19:47,240 –> 00:19:50,080
So all that rise up was the Trump effect,

629
00:19:50,080 –> 00:19:52,280
and the rise down is a Trump effect.

630
00:19:52,520 –> 00:19:54,440
I’m not defending Trump.

631
00:19:55,000 –> 00:19:55,600
You know what I mean?

632
00:19:55,600 –> 00:19:57,480
I’m not, I can see it with a clear eye,

633
00:19:58,680 –> 00:20:02,000
but we’re not being given an honest portrait of what’s

634
00:20:02,000 –> 00:20:02,960
going on in the world.

635
00:20:03,240 –> 00:20:05,800
Process, media doesn’t understand process,

636
00:20:06,040 –> 00:20:07,640
tariffs, they can’t even spell them.

637
00:20:08,120 –> 00:20:09,320
It’s amazing to me.

638
00:20:10,440 –> 00:20:16,360
And then they’re ramping up deportation.

639
00:20:16,360 –> 00:20:16,880
You can see it.

640
00:20:16,880 –> 00:20:17,960
They’re talking about Libya.

641
00:20:18,280 –> 00:20:18,680
There’s

642
00:20:19,400 –> 00:20:24,040
Alcatraz.

643
00:20:24,120 –> 00:20:25,400
Alcatraz.

644
00:20:26,680 –> 00:20:26,880
Wow.

645
00:20:26,880 –> 00:20:27,480
But, you know,

646
00:20:27,720 –> 00:20:30,200
let me tell you about Selfridge.

647
00:20:31,240 –> 00:20:33,400
Now, if you’re an illegal immigrant being detained

648
00:20:33,400 –> 00:20:34,760
by American authorities,

649
00:20:34,760 –> 00:20:38,440
then Selfridge Air National Guard Base might be a

650
00:20:38,440 –> 00:20:39,800
wonderful place to say goodbye.

651
00:20:40,680 –> 00:20:43,400
As Trump plans to unleash America’s law enforcement

652
00:20:43,560 –> 00:20:44,600
to pursue criminals,

653
00:20:44,840 –> 00:20:46,120
the question becomes obvious.

654
00:20:46,520 –> 00:20:49,320
Where will we put hundreds of thousands of detainees

655
00:20:49,440 –> 00:20:51,560
while they await their due process?

656
00:20:52,120 –> 00:20:53,080
In Michigan,

657
00:20:53,320 –> 00:20:56,520
one facility under consideration is Selfridge,

658
00:20:56,680 –> 00:20:58,840
and that’s straight from Washington.

659
00:20:59,800 –> 00:21:03,640
Curious, I took a recent tour of the 3,600 acre base

660
00:21:03,800 –> 00:21:05,640
located in northern Macomb County.

661
00:21:05,960 –> 00:21:06,680
My findings?

662
00:21:07,400 –> 00:21:10,200
I couldn’t think of a grander place to await a deportation

663
00:21:10,200 –> 00:21:10,520
hearing.

664
00:21:10,920 –> 00:21:11,480
First of all,

665
00:21:11,720 –> 00:21:14,880
it has convenient one-stop shopping for a guy accused

666
00:21:14,880 –> 00:21:17,160
of belonging to an international crime syndicate.

667
00:21:17,800 –> 00:21:20,120
Selfridge is home not only to the five branches of

668
00:21:20,120 –> 00:21:20,920
the military,

669
00:21:21,160 –> 00:21:22,520
but also to ICE,

670
00:21:22,680 –> 00:21:23,560
Border Patrol,

671
00:21:23,680 –> 00:21:24,680
and the FBI,

672
00:21:24,800 –> 00:21:27,080
which can help with translation services.

673
00:21:27,960 –> 00:21:30,360
The complex has sprawling green vistas,

674
00:21:30,600 –> 00:21:31,880
fresh lake breezes,

675
00:21:32,080 –> 00:21:33,160
a waterfront view,

676
00:21:33,280 –> 00:21:34,040
and get this,

677
00:21:34,400 –> 00:21:36,040
an 18-hole golf course.

678
00:21:36,760 –> 00:21:39,720
There are many day laboring opportunities as well.

679
00:21:40,280 –> 00:21:42,280
Acres upon acres of lawn to mow,

680
00:21:42,640 –> 00:21:45,080
an administration building in need of a fresh coat

681
00:21:45,080 –> 00:21:45,640
of paint,

682
00:21:46,040 –> 00:21:48,360
a shoeshine box in the lobby of the officers’

683
00:21:48,360 –> 00:21:51,160
club, or a guy could chase geese off the mile-long

684
00:21:51,160 –> 00:21:54,920
runway, or maybe even carry the golf bag for one of

685
00:21:54,920 –> 00:21:56,200
the base’s big hitters.

686
00:21:56,520 –> 00:21:57,240
Word is,

687
00:21:57,640 –> 00:21:59,160
The general’s a fabulous tipper.

688
00:21:59,960 –> 00:22:02,840
Housing possibilities include the gorgeous but abandoned

689
00:22:03,000 –> 00:22:03,560
officers’

690
00:22:03,560 –> 00:22:04,040
quarters.

691
00:22:04,360 –> 00:22:06,520
The streets are lined with oak and sycamore.

692
00:22:06,840 –> 00:22:09,440
The homes are of the Georgian and Greek revival styles

693
00:22:09,440 –> 00:22:13,520
with columned porticoes and brick fireplaces where

694
00:22:13,520 –> 00:22:17,560
a man far from home might warm himself on some hoary

695
00:22:17,560 –> 00:22:18,120
afternoon.

696
00:22:18,440 –> 00:22:19,080
Either that,

697
00:22:19,560 –> 00:22:22,760
or a massive tent city could be erected to house migrants

698
00:22:22,760 –> 00:22:25,240
like they did at Brooklyn’s decommissioned Floyd Bennett

699
00:22:25,240 –> 00:22:25,720
Field.

700
00:22:26,280 –> 00:22:28,840
The climate-controlled tents could be pitched on any

701
00:22:28,840 –> 00:22:31,400
number of the green glades bordering Lake St.

702
00:22:31,400 –> 00:22:35,000
Clair, which also includes an inspiring view of Canada.

703
00:22:35,640 –> 00:22:38,600
Recreational opportunities might include Frisbee golf

704
00:22:38,840 –> 00:22:39,720
and beach casting.

705
00:22:40,120 –> 00:22:42,320
Hey, the walleye are running.

706
00:22:43,160 –> 00:22:45,640
There’s A quaint little museum on the airbase where

707
00:22:45,640 –> 00:22:49,320
one can learn all about the Tuskegee Airmen and admire

708
00:22:49,320 –> 00:22:52,760
all the mothballed war machines that dropped bombs

709
00:22:52,920 –> 00:22:55,960
on many of the countries the deportees would be returning

710
00:22:55,960 –> 00:22:56,280
to.

711
00:22:57,080 –> 00:22:57,640
Hungry?

712
00:22:57,960 –> 00:22:58,920
No problem.

713
00:22:59,400 –> 00:23:01,720
With the pocket money earned polishing the general’s

714
00:23:01,720 –> 00:23:05,400
cleats, a peckish man might order himself some culturally

715
00:23:05,400 –> 00:23:08,200
appropriate food from one of the copious restaurants

716
00:23:08,440 –> 00:23:09,880
just outside the base gates,

717
00:23:09,960 –> 00:23:11,480
including Chipotle,

718
00:23:11,960 –> 00:23:12,760
Panda Express,

719
00:23:12,760 –> 00:23:14,600
and the world-renowned Bob Evans.

720
00:23:15,160 –> 00:23:15,960
Craving a late,

721
00:23:17,240 –> 00:23:18,040
late night nibble,

722
00:23:18,800 –> 00:23:20,920
there’s a gas station and a liquor store on the base

723
00:23:21,000 –> 00:23:22,360
stocked with snack cakes,

724
00:23:22,680 –> 00:23:23,320
soda pop,

725
00:23:23,320 –> 00:23:24,240
and jerky sticks.

726
00:23:24,240 –> 00:23:25,080
And best of all,

727
00:23:25,822 –> 00:23:28,062
Once his legal papers are in order,

728
00:23:28,422 –> 00:23:31,982
a C-37 will be idling outside the deportee’s front

729
00:23:31,982 –> 00:23:33,822
door, waiting to take him home.

730
00:23:34,542 –> 00:23:37,102
And if the thought of a long flight makes him queasy,

731
00:23:37,262 –> 00:23:40,462
perhaps arrangements can be made with the newly elected

732
00:23:40,462 –> 00:23:41,582
minister of Canada.

733
00:23:41,982 –> 00:23:43,742
It’s just the short ferry ride away.

734
00:23:46,302 –> 00:23:49,182
Karen, before we get to Flint,

735
00:23:49,462 –> 00:23:50,862
right, right after this message,

736
00:23:50,862 –> 00:23:52,222
I failed to ask you.

737
00:23:53,582 –> 00:23:54,622
That idea of yours,

738
00:23:55,422 –> 00:23:56,222
the enhanced idea.

739
00:23:56,902 –> 00:23:57,022
Right.

740
00:23:57,102 –> 00:23:58,622
Did you ever present documents?

741
00:23:58,942 –> 00:23:59,222
No.

742
00:24:00,142 –> 00:24:02,742
I had the opportunity to renew my license by mail.

743
00:24:02,742 –> 00:24:04,382
I guess it was a year or two ago.

744
00:24:04,782 –> 00:24:05,622
And you know,

745
00:24:05,622 –> 00:24:06,102
it’s just,

746
00:24:06,222 –> 00:24:07,422
has anything changed?

747
00:24:07,422 –> 00:24:07,822
No.

748
00:24:07,902 –> 00:24:09,382
You send it back in the mail and it came.

749
00:24:09,382 –> 00:24:11,982
I didn’t, at the time there was not conversation around

750
00:24:11,982 –> 00:24:12,302
this.

751
00:24:12,702 –> 00:24:13,742
I didn’t know what it was,

752
00:24:13,742 –> 00:24:15,182
but I didn’t pay any attention to it.

753
00:24:15,182 –> 00:24:16,982
I just stuck it in my wallet and kept going.

754
00:24:17,182 –> 00:24:18,222
So no, I haven’t.

755
00:24:18,222 –> 00:24:21,102
You’ve never shown your passport to them.

756
00:24:21,182 –> 00:24:21,462
No.

757
00:24:21,662 –> 00:24:22,382
You.

758
00:24:23,342 –> 00:24:25,342
Never showed your social security card to them.

759
00:24:25,422 –> 00:24:26,182
Birth certificate.

760
00:24:26,182 –> 00:24:26,902
None of that.

761
00:24:27,422 –> 00:24:30,142
Maybe back when you were 18 or 16.

762
00:24:30,382 –> 00:24:30,662
I guess.

763
00:24:30,662 –> 00:24:31,102
I don’t even know.

764
00:24:31,102 –> 00:24:31,942
Was it required then?

765
00:24:31,942 –> 00:24:32,782
That was a long time ago.

766
00:24:32,862 –> 00:24:34,062
That’s the whole point.

767
00:24:34,182 –> 00:24:36,942
And they went and sent you an enhanced ID,

768
00:24:37,102 –> 00:24:39,342
but you didn’t go through the federally mandated,

769
00:24:39,342 –> 00:24:40,222
that means the law,

770
00:24:40,382 –> 00:24:41,582
the process to get it.

771
00:24:41,822 –> 00:24:42,022
No.

772
00:24:42,062 –> 00:24:42,902
You see the problem.

773
00:24:42,902 –> 00:24:43,062
Yeah.

774
00:24:43,062 –> 00:24:45,422
When I turned 18,

775
00:24:45,582 –> 00:24:48,862
they sent me the new one with the like star on it.

776
00:24:48,862 –> 00:24:49,102
I never.

777
00:24:50,302 –> 00:24:51,022
You never took anything.

778
00:24:51,662 –> 00:24:53,702
You never took your driver or your birth certificate

779
00:24:53,702 –> 00:24:54,062
down there?

780
00:24:54,382 –> 00:24:55,222
You had a passport.

781
00:24:55,222 –> 00:24:56,142
You didn’t take that.

782
00:24:56,702 –> 00:24:58,142
You never showed a social security card.

783
00:25:00,502 –> 00:25:02,262
No, this is just the automatic form that they sent

784
00:25:02,262 –> 00:25:02,342
me.

785
00:25:02,342 –> 00:25:02,942
Oh, what a fucking scam.

786
00:25:02,942 –> 00:25:03,742
Does that make us?

787
00:25:04,102 –> 00:25:04,462
I don’t know.

788
00:25:04,462 –> 00:25:05,942
Are we criminals?

789
00:25:06,382 –> 00:25:07,342
No, no.

790
00:25:07,822 –> 00:25:08,302
I know.

791
00:25:08,302 –> 00:25:09,182
This is criminal.

792
00:25:10,302 –> 00:25:11,342
behavior, though,

793
00:25:11,902 –> 00:25:13,702
maybe it’s misdemeanor criminal behavior,

794
00:25:13,702 –> 00:25:14,542
but they’re not,

795
00:25:14,622 –> 00:25:16,702
the Secretary of State’s not following the law,

796
00:25:16,862 –> 00:25:18,542
which is designed to protect us.

797
00:25:18,702 –> 00:25:20,542
And I lived through 9-11.

798
00:25:20,622 –> 00:25:22,062
It’s not a hard thing,

799
00:25:22,302 –> 00:25:22,622
right?

800
00:25:23,262 –> 00:25:24,662
Are you who you say you are?

801
00:25:24,942 –> 00:25:26,222
That’s all this is about.

802
00:25:26,782 –> 00:25:27,982
And then once again,

803
00:25:28,702 –> 00:25:30,462
now we can see if you can legally vote.

804
00:25:31,862 –> 00:25:32,702
That’s just a thought.

805
00:25:33,062 –> 00:25:34,142
And consistency.

806
00:25:34,222 –> 00:25:36,142
I mean, if in fact there’s a process that should be

807
00:25:36,142 –> 00:25:36,542
followed,

808
00:25:36,542 –> 00:25:39,182
it should be followed throughout for everybody,

809
00:25:39,902 –> 00:25:41,342
not just haphazard.

810
00:25:41,662 –> 00:25:42,142
So.

811
00:25:42,182 –> 00:25:43,982
What a freaking scam.

812
00:25:44,222 –> 00:25:46,222
And I wrote about this in the Enjoyer this week,

813
00:25:46,222 –> 00:25:46,542
right?

814
00:25:47,182 –> 00:25:48,702
Nobody paid attention to the audit.

815
00:25:48,782 –> 00:25:51,102
I pay attention to the audit ever since the nursing

816
00:25:51,102 –> 00:25:51,782
home audit.

817
00:25:51,782 –> 00:25:52,102
And I’m like,

818
00:25:52,102 –> 00:25:53,102
there’s always gems in there.

819
00:25:53,502 –> 00:25:55,742
And it took the Republican

820
00:25:57,022 –> 00:25:57,822
strike squad,

821
00:25:57,822 –> 00:25:58,062
you know,

822
00:25:58,062 –> 00:25:59,742
each party’s got a strike squad.

823
00:26:00,142 –> 00:26:02,702
They had to put it out for the media even to read what

824
00:26:02,702 –> 00:26:03,902
the auditor’s doing.

825
00:26:04,142 –> 00:26:04,942
And the media,

826
00:26:04,942 –> 00:26:05,582
I read them all,

827
00:26:05,742 –> 00:26:08,542
they don’t understand what’s in there.

828
00:26:08,622 –> 00:26:10,622
This, they just did the list.

829
00:26:10,862 –> 00:26:13,102
This is pretty bad.

830
00:26:13,342 –> 00:26:14,062
And I, yeah,

831
00:26:14,062 –> 00:26:15,502
I think we’re going to have to redo it,

832
00:26:15,542 –> 00:26:16,862
especially after you 2 just.

833
00:26:17,902 –> 00:26:19,822
dropped another little acorn on there.

834
00:26:19,822 –> 00:26:21,302
They’re just handing them out.

835
00:26:21,782 –> 00:26:22,942
And maybe they like us.

836
00:26:23,342 –> 00:26:25,342
Not only do you like you go there and you present your

837
00:26:25,342 –> 00:26:26,382
stuff and they don’t scan it,

838
00:26:26,382 –> 00:26:27,902
they don’t even give a fuck.

839
00:26:27,902 –> 00:26:29,022
No, they don’t.

840
00:26:29,102 –> 00:26:29,902
And they, you know,

841
00:26:29,942 –> 00:26:31,982
and they don’t give a fuck about Flint.

842
00:26:32,382 –> 00:26:35,502
So we’re going to find out all about what’s going on

843
00:26:35,502 –> 00:26:40,862
there and why my guest is not here right after this.

844
00:26:41,142 –> 00:26:43,502
I’m Grace Karos and I’m third generation of American

845
00:26:43,502 –> 00:26:44,142
Coney Island.

846
00:26:44,622 –> 00:26:46,302
People say Detroit’s A comeback city.

847
00:26:46,302 –> 00:26:47,142
I say, where you been?

848
00:26:47,142 –> 00:26:48,862
We’ve been here for over 100 years.

849
00:26:49,182 –> 00:26:51,182
My family’s been here on the same corner,

850
00:26:51,342 –> 00:26:54,582
serving our famous proprietary American Coney Island

851
00:26:54,582 –> 00:26:54,902
hot dog.

852
00:26:55,582 –> 00:26:56,342
So like always,

853
00:26:56,342 –> 00:26:57,422
we’re keeping things fresh,

854
00:26:57,622 –> 00:26:58,862
updated, and new.

855
00:27:01,182 –> 00:27:02,942
We’d love to have you come downtown and visit us,

856
00:27:03,022 –> 00:27:03,822
but if you can’t,

857
00:27:03,902 –> 00:27:06,142
you can always go to americanconeyisland.com,

858
00:27:06,142 –> 00:27:07,022
order a Coney kit,

859
00:27:07,022 –> 00:27:08,782
get it delivered fresh right to your door.

860
00:27:11,142 –> 00:27:12,222
You know your teeth can’t heal,

861
00:27:12,222 –> 00:27:13,422
but the stock market can.

862
00:27:13,422 –> 00:27:14,462
That’s just a fact.

863
00:27:14,782 –> 00:27:16,782
The market roller coaster is making you grind your

864
00:27:16,782 –> 00:27:17,102
teeth.

865
00:27:17,262 –> 00:27:22,702
Call or text my friend Luke Nowacki at 248-663-4748.

866
00:27:23,102 –> 00:27:25,342
We’re all hanging on to this ride like Gayle King and

867
00:27:25,342 –> 00:27:26,062
Katy Perry.

868
00:27:26,302 –> 00:27:27,662
Just hang on to your flower.

869
00:27:27,902 –> 00:27:30,102
Some people are saying that the earth will be better

870
00:27:30,102 –> 00:27:31,262
when this is all over.

871
00:27:31,982 –> 00:27:32,862
Luke Nowacki,

872
00:27:32,942 –> 00:27:34,142
Pinnacle Wealth Strategies.

873
00:27:34,622 –> 00:27:37,342
Are you an aging senior wondering where you’ll end

874
00:27:37,342 –> 00:27:37,582
up?

875
00:27:37,862 –> 00:27:40,422
Are you a son or a daughter wishing your mom or dad

876
00:27:40,422 –> 00:27:41,422
lived closer to home?

877
00:27:41,942 –> 00:27:45,182
Are you a caregiver with good heart and good character,

878
00:27:45,182 –> 00:27:47,342
but you feel stuck in a dead-end job?

879
00:27:47,822 –> 00:27:50,622
Are you a social entrepreneur looking for a safe real

880
00:27:50,622 –> 00:27:53,502
estate investment within a fast-growing market?

881
00:27:53,982 –> 00:27:56,862
will consider contacting Archangel Senior Management.

00:27:57,262 –> 00:28:00,302

Call Archangel at 989-614-0316.

885
00:28:09,902 –> 00:28:10,342
Well, you know,

886
00:28:10,342 –> 00:28:10,942
when it rains,

887
00:28:10,942 –> 00:28:11,822
the power goes out.

888
00:28:11,822 –> 00:28:13,102
And when the power goes out,

889
00:28:13,102 –> 00:28:13,982
the internet goes out.

890
00:28:13,982 –> 00:28:15,102
When the internet goes out,

891
00:28:15,102 –> 00:28:18,302
I call my friend Matt and Bernie at XG Service Group.

892
00:28:18,462 –> 00:28:20,302
Look at Bernie here on his hands and knees,

893
00:28:20,542 –> 00:28:21,822
giving it everything he’s got.

894
00:28:22,462 –> 00:28:23,662
Look at that man crack.

895
00:28:23,902 –> 00:28:26,462
So busy, he forgot to wear a belt.

896
00:28:26,462 –> 00:28:28,542
There’s Matt right there getting the board together.

897
00:28:28,542 –> 00:28:31,262
That’s 734-245-4100.

898
00:28:31,262 –> 00:28:34,222
If you need Matt and Bernie to come take care of your

899
00:28:34,222 –> 00:28:35,062
voice over internet,

900
00:28:35,262 –> 00:28:36,462
your security cameras,

901
00:28:36,622 –> 00:28:38,222
off-campus access control,

902
00:28:38,462 –> 00:28:40,862
Wi-Fi and cameras for homes and business,

903
00:28:40,862 –> 00:28:41,982
they’ll design it for you.

904
00:28:42,262 –> 00:28:43,062
You got restaurants,

905
00:28:43,062 –> 00:28:44,262
they do drive-through systems,

906
00:28:44,262 –> 00:28:46,062
railroad cameras for public safety.

907
00:28:46,222 –> 00:28:49,502
Total wireless camera systems for your home and business.

908
00:28:49,742 –> 00:28:50,222
Yeah, that’s right.

909
00:28:50,222 –> 00:28:52,342
Call XG services at 734-800

910
00:28:54,622 –> 00:28:55,342
So there’s our guest,

911
00:28:55,342 –> 00:28:57,182
Karen, Jedediah Brown.

912
00:28:58,102 –> 00:28:58,902
It’s not really him.

913
00:28:58,902 –> 00:29:00,142
He’s not really sitting there.

914
00:29:00,302 –> 00:29:04,222
The guy is in solitary confinement at the Genesee County

915
00:29:04,222 –> 00:29:04,942
Jail.

916
00:29:05,662 –> 00:29:06,302
For what?

917
00:29:06,622 –> 00:29:11,662
Well, I believe he was disturbing the peace.

918
00:29:13,022 –> 00:29:15,902
Like he was in front of the mayor’s house with a bullhorn

919
00:29:16,462 –> 00:29:17,662
2 days ago,

920
00:29:18,022 –> 00:29:20,382
and then the mayor put the secret police on him and

921
00:29:20,382 –> 00:29:21,662
found him last night.

922
00:29:23,022 –> 00:29:27,462
The peace two days earlier.

923
00:29:27,462 –> 00:29:28,342
Which is a misdemeanor,

924
00:29:28,342 –> 00:29:29,862
and I don’t know why they didn’t arrest him at the

925
00:29:30,142 –> 00:29:31,982
mayor’s house disturbing the peace.

926
00:29:32,142 –> 00:29:33,662
But that’s Jedidiah.

927
00:29:33,662 –> 00:29:37,022
He is got an organization it’s really big on,

928
00:29:37,182 –> 00:29:38,142
basically it’s YouTube,

929
00:29:38,142 –> 00:29:38,382
you know.

930
00:29:38,742 –> 00:29:40,542
It’s called Investigate and Advocate.

931
00:29:40,862 –> 00:29:43,262
So he’s sort of like this national rabble rouser.

932
00:29:43,262 –> 00:29:45,422
You got a problem in your city,

933
00:29:45,982 –> 00:29:47,022
you call him,

934
00:29:47,742 –> 00:29:48,542
and he comes.

935
00:29:48,702 –> 00:29:49,742
Usually, you know,

936
00:29:49,742 –> 00:29:51,262
he’s a rugged,

937
00:29:52,622 –> 00:29:56,782
well thought out black man and he goes to mostly African-American

938
00:29:56,782 –> 00:29:58,222
place because nobody will help.

939
00:29:59,422 –> 00:30:01,182
That’s why there’s a lot of money in poverty.

940
00:30:02,142 –> 00:30:03,942
So he points it out.

941
00:30:03,982 –> 00:30:08,382
So I met him 10 years ago when I was doing a,

942
00:30:09,262 –> 00:30:11,742
when there was gangland slings in South Side Chicago

943
00:30:11,782 –> 00:30:14,502
and I want to know why we’re killing ourselves,

944
00:30:14,502 –> 00:30:14,902
you know.

945
00:30:14,902 –> 00:30:18,742
And so this is a little clip from my days of Fox.

946
00:30:18,742 –> 00:30:19,662
It’s when I first met him.

947
00:30:19,742 –> 00:30:21,142
You know, this is a whole different.

948
00:30:21,582 –> 00:30:22,262
generation.

949
00:30:22,262 –> 00:30:23,062
So you cannot,

950
00:30:23,062 –> 00:30:24,262
you want to say gang life.

951
00:30:24,542 –> 00:30:25,982
No, this is reality.

952
00:30:26,062 –> 00:30:28,622
I could go on the internet and I’m finding people who

953
00:30:28,622 –> 00:30:30,542
look like me across the country.

954
00:30:30,942 –> 00:30:31,822
We have no hope.

955
00:30:32,142 –> 00:30:34,302
The police are whooping our butts.

956
00:30:34,302 –> 00:30:35,982
The church is not active.

957
00:30:36,142 –> 00:30:36,622
Once again,

958
00:30:36,622 –> 00:30:37,262
I’ll be redundant.

959
00:30:37,262 –> 00:30:39,342
The government officials are not doing anything.

960
00:30:39,582 –> 00:30:40,422
It’s going to,

961
00:30:40,462 –> 00:30:41,582
it’s a repetitive thing.

962
00:30:41,822 –> 00:30:43,502
So now we’re in survival mode.

963
00:30:45,142 –> 00:30:45,502
It’s true.

964
00:30:45,742 –> 00:30:46,622
So that guy’s just walking,

965
00:30:46,622 –> 00:30:48,462
walking, inserting himself in the middle,

966
00:30:48,462 –> 00:30:49,982
trying to advocate,

967
00:30:50,142 –> 00:30:50,902
mediate, you know,

968
00:30:50,982 –> 00:30:51,622
I mean, he’s pretty,

969
00:30:51,822 –> 00:30:52,022
pretty.

970
00:30:52,022 –> 00:30:54,942
Yeah, but sometimes you need disruption,

971
00:30:55,022 –> 00:30:55,462
you know,

972
00:30:55,462 –> 00:30:56,982
otherwise it’s just conformity.

973
00:30:56,982 –> 00:31:00,462
And you add 1 issue on top of the last issue.

974
00:31:00,702 –> 00:31:02,222
And if you don’t take the time to dig,

975
00:31:02,222 –> 00:31:03,262
people forget about it.

976
00:31:03,502 –> 00:31:06,782
So you have to have some degree of disruption to bring

977
00:31:06,782 –> 00:31:09,742
awareness for the purpose of trying to find a solution.

978
00:31:10,062 –> 00:31:10,622
Or, you know,

979
00:31:10,622 –> 00:31:11,462
in the vernacular,

980
00:31:11,462 –> 00:31:13,422
you got to wade through the shit to find the peanuts.

981
00:31:13,502 –> 00:31:14,302
That’s what I just said.

982
00:31:16,782 –> 00:31:17,902
Give me my translator,

983
00:31:17,982 –> 00:31:18,182
Charlie.

984
00:31:19,582 –> 00:31:20,702
Let me put that in regular.

985
00:31:22,622 –> 00:31:25,902
Then, do you guys remember Dalton,

986
00:31:25,902 –> 00:31:26,542
Illinois?

987
00:31:27,342 –> 00:31:29,262
How do I describe it for people that might not know?

988
00:31:29,662 –> 00:31:32,302
It’s a sassy little mayor of a village in Illinois,

989
00:31:32,302 –> 00:31:33,022
Dalton, right?

990
00:31:33,342 –> 00:31:33,822
And

991
00:31:34,782 –> 00:31:38,462
She’s paying herself like $350,000 a year.

992
00:31:38,622 –> 00:31:40,262
Got police bodyguards.

993
00:31:40,262 –> 00:31:40,582
What else,

994
00:31:40,582 –> 00:31:40,742
Mark?

995
00:31:40,742 –> 00:31:42,142
Are they flying around the country?

996
00:31:42,222 –> 00:31:43,342
Yeah, she’s done that.

997
00:31:43,342 –> 00:31:46,702
Any business owner that hadn’t donate to her,

998
00:31:46,702 –> 00:31:48,782
she sent the police there to kind of what people they

999
00:31:48,782 –> 00:31:52,062
claim is a shakedown to either get donations money.

1000
00:31:52,062 –> 00:31:54,382
She threw a festival for her birthday.

1001
00:31:54,862 –> 00:31:58,782
I mean, the list goes on and on so much so that,

1002
00:31:58,782 –> 00:31:58,982
you know,

1003
00:31:58,982 –> 00:32:00,822
the Daily Mail in England picked up on it and named

1004
00:32:00,822 –> 00:32:03,422
her the worst mayor in America and they couldn’t get

1005
00:32:03,422 –> 00:32:03,822
rid of her.

1006
00:32:03,822 –> 00:32:04,662
They would even pass

1007
00:32:04,742 –> 00:32:05,902
The city council would pass,

1008
00:32:06,622 –> 00:32:07,022
I don’t know,

1009
00:32:07,102 –> 00:32:08,622
rules or amendments or whatever,

1010
00:32:08,622 –> 00:32:09,982
and she would just veto anything against her.

1011
00:32:09,982 –> 00:32:11,102
She would just flat veto it.

1012
00:32:11,142 –> 00:32:11,662
She’s awful.

1013
00:32:12,062 –> 00:32:14,542
And he had been on her case for a good nine months

1014
00:32:14,542 –> 00:32:14,942
or so.

1015
00:32:15,502 –> 00:32:16,062
Jedidiah.

1016
00:32:16,062 –> 00:32:16,782
Jedidiah, yeah.

1017
00:32:16,782 –> 00:32:18,942
So Jedidiah is the one that brought it to the attention

1018
00:32:18,942 –> 00:32:19,982
of the world media.

1019
00:32:19,982 –> 00:32:20,622
Exactly.

1020
00:32:20,702 –> 00:32:24,062
And he’s he’s the one that kept put like his technique

1021
00:32:24,062 –> 00:32:26,702
is like in these cases with corrupt politicians is

1022
00:32:26,702 –> 00:32:29,782
needle them and needle them and bullhorn.

1023
00:32:29,782 –> 00:32:30,702
He loves a bullhorn.

1024
00:32:31,182 –> 00:32:32,382
Does that sound familiar?

1025
00:32:34,222 –> 00:32:34,862
The needling?

1026
00:32:35,262 –> 00:32:36,382
Oh, I don’t need the bullhorn,

1027
00:32:36,422 –> 00:32:36,542
man.

1028
00:32:36,542 –> 00:32:37,702
No, I didn’t say bullhorn.

1029
00:32:37,702 –> 00:32:38,302
I said needling.

1030
00:32:38,302 –> 00:32:39,582
I’ve got this right here.

1031
00:32:39,582 –> 00:32:41,942
This microphone is the sword of truth.

1032
00:32:42,102 –> 00:32:44,262
But see, people also trivialize.

1033
00:32:44,262 –> 00:32:46,542
You talked about the majority of his followers are

1034
00:32:46,542 –> 00:32:47,262
on YouTube.

1035
00:32:47,502 –> 00:32:50,062
That’s a whole new platform,

1036
00:32:50,142 –> 00:32:50,942
demographic,

1037
00:32:50,942 –> 00:32:51,542
environment,

1038
00:32:51,542 –> 00:32:53,582
and audience that people overlook,

1039
00:32:53,742 –> 00:32:55,022
but it’s very influential.

1040
00:32:55,022 –> 00:32:56,382
Hey, nobody overlooking it now.

1041
00:32:57,102 –> 00:32:58,022
It’s not even the future.

1042
00:32:58,022 –> 00:33:00,102
It’s the largest media corporation in the world.

1043
00:33:00,102 –> 00:33:00,702
You’re absolutely right.

1044
00:33:01,902 –> 00:33:02,742
YouTube and Google.

1045
00:33:02,742 –> 00:33:03,662
Well, you know,

1046
00:33:03,662 –> 00:33:04,702
it’d be Google.

1047
00:33:05,262 –> 00:33:05,822
Well, they own it.

1048
00:33:05,902 –> 00:33:06,542
Thanks for that,

1049
00:33:06,582 –> 00:33:06,822
Mark.

1050
00:33:06,822 –> 00:33:08,702
That was unbeknownst to me.

1051
00:33:08,702 –> 00:33:10,422
They have the most viewers in the world.

1052
00:33:10,422 –> 00:33:11,902
Okay, so let’s watch,

1053
00:33:12,302 –> 00:33:13,222
or if you’re listening,

1054
00:33:13,222 –> 00:33:14,462
you’ll get the idea.

1055
00:33:14,462 –> 00:33:18,382
Here’s Jedidiah pushing this thing in Dalton,

1056
00:33:18,382 –> 00:33:21,942
Illinois to a head and hijinks ensue.

1057
00:33:21,942 –> 00:33:25,262
We were better take a boat and we’re gonna change,

1058
00:33:25,302 –> 00:33:26,462
we’re gonna exchange your black.

1059
00:33:27,142 –> 00:33:29,622
for Stephanie to be the new member of Army.

1060
00:33:29,662 –> 00:33:31,102
So all those in favor say,

1061
00:33:31,622 –> 00:33:32,342
all those against it,

1062
00:33:32,542 –> 00:33:33,022
say nay.

1063
00:33:33,502 –> 00:33:36,022
All those in favor say aye.

1064
00:33:36,022 –> 00:33:36,062
Aye.

1065
00:33:42,102 –> 00:33:43,022
He just elected a mayor.

1066
00:33:44,382 –> 00:33:45,342
We need him here.

1067
00:33:45,902 –> 00:33:46,302
Uh-oh.

1068
00:33:47,262 –> 00:33:48,622
Mayor’s brothers don’t like it.

1069
00:33:49,982 –> 00:33:51,182
And here comes the mayor.

1070
00:33:53,582 –> 00:33:54,102
Now which one

1071
00:33:57,662 –> 00:33:58,022
Who cares?

1072
00:33:58,022 –> 00:33:58,902
Look at this fight though.

1073
00:33:58,902 –> 00:33:59,862
I can’t see what’s going on.

1074
00:33:59,942 –> 00:34:00,862
The whole fucking thing.

1075
00:34:01,302 –> 00:34:02,542
Looks like a Spirit Airlines.

1076
00:34:06,382 –> 00:34:09,182
So he is suing Tiffany Haynier,

1077
00:34:09,182 –> 00:34:09,702
the mayor,

1078
00:34:09,702 –> 00:34:11,422
her boyfriend who started the fight.

1079
00:34:12,462 –> 00:34:13,342
So I mean,

1080
00:34:13,342 –> 00:34:14,462
hopefully get something out of it.

1081
00:34:14,702 –> 00:34:16,382
So that’s a pretty good piece of work,

1082
00:34:16,382 –> 00:34:16,702
right?

1083
00:34:17,062 –> 00:34:17,902
And then, you know,

1084
00:34:19,182 –> 00:34:22,302
leave your suggestions in the comment boxes.

1085
00:34:22,702 –> 00:34:24,422
So come to Flint,

1086
00:34:24,422 –> 00:34:25,102
come to Flint,

1087
00:34:25,102 –> 00:34:25,902
come to Flint.

1088
00:34:26,502 –> 00:34:26,942
Detroit.

1089
00:34:27,342 –> 00:34:27,742
Right?

1090
00:34:28,302 –> 00:34:29,182
You know, I’m.

1091
00:34:29,262 –> 00:34:29,982
One city at a time.

1092
00:34:29,982 –> 00:34:30,542
Yeah, you know,

1093
00:34:30,622 –> 00:34:31,942
I mean, give me a call first.

1094
00:34:31,942 –> 00:34:32,942
So you’re coming to Flint,

1095
00:34:32,942 –> 00:34:33,182
you know,

1096
00:34:33,182 –> 00:34:34,382
I mean, I love you,

1097
00:34:34,382 –> 00:34:34,782
Flint.

1098
00:34:34,782 –> 00:34:38,462
Flint, Flint’s our family and anything I can do to

1099
00:34:38,462 –> 00:34:40,262
help, because in Flint,

1100
00:34:43,982 –> 00:34:45,142
it’s shamelessly corrupt.

1101
00:34:45,142 –> 00:34:46,942
I made just a list of stuff here.

1102
00:34:47,182 –> 00:34:49,342
$1 billion water crisis money,

1103
00:34:49,502 –> 00:34:49,902
poof.

1104
00:34:50,622 –> 00:34:52,342
94 million in ARPA,

1105
00:34:52,342 –> 00:34:53,742
which is the COVID money,

1106
00:34:54,062 –> 00:34:54,702
vanished.

1107
00:34:55,302 –> 00:34:58,582
259 million for the mega airport that’s supposed to

1108
00:34:59,422 –> 00:35:01,102
project thin air.

1109
00:35:01,342 –> 00:35:05,022
$150 million in COVID cash for the school district

1110
00:35:05,182 –> 00:35:07,662
that has less than 3,000 pupils.

1111
00:35:08,182 –> 00:35:08,382
What?

1112
00:35:09,142 –> 00:35:09,822
Vaporized.

1113
00:35:10,342 –> 00:35:11,942
There’s the pipe contracts,

1114
00:35:12,022 –> 00:35:13,462
the garbage contracts.

1115
00:35:13,702 –> 00:35:15,862
Remember the two children that died in the house firing?

1116
00:35:16,582 –> 00:35:17,862
Okay, there’s that.

1117
00:35:18,582 –> 00:35:20,902
The children’s family won that case,

1118
00:35:20,902 –> 00:35:24,502
but somehow Flint wants to appeal because the mayor

1119
00:35:24,502 –> 00:35:25,942
says that I have immunity.

1120
00:35:25,942 –> 00:35:28,022
The mayor is a hopeless dope.

1121
00:35:28,502 –> 00:35:29,382
Sheldon Neely,

1122
00:35:29,542 –> 00:35:30,662
hopeless dope.

1123
00:35:30,902 –> 00:35:31,542
That guy.

1124
00:35:31,862 –> 00:35:32,662
Okay, wait a minute.

1125
00:35:34,662 –> 00:35:36,022
The fire chief is suing him.

1126
00:35:36,022 –> 00:35:38,822
That one went to federal circuit court because he got

1127
00:35:38,822 –> 00:35:44,262
fired because he wouldn’t change his findings in the

1128
00:35:44,262 –> 00:35:45,702
death of the two children.

1129
00:35:45,702 –> 00:35:48,502
So he claims he got fired for that.

1130
00:35:49,262 –> 00:35:51,502
What kind of person will even ask somebody to do that?

1131
00:35:51,702 –> 00:35:53,022
That’s what you got to think about.

1132
00:35:53,022 –> 00:35:56,702
This is a mayor of a city and you’re asking the person

1133
00:35:56,702 –> 00:35:58,982
in charge of an investigation to change it so that

1134
00:35:58,982 –> 00:36:01,142
it doesn’t have a negative reflection on you or what

1135
00:36:01,142 –> 00:36:02,102
you did or didn’t do.

1136
00:36:02,382 –> 00:36:04,622
What kind of person does that?

1137
00:36:04,622 –> 00:36:06,262
A fearful one?

1138
00:36:06,622 –> 00:36:06,902
Yeah.

1139
00:36:07,302 –> 00:36:07,942
Well, you know,

1140
00:36:07,942 –> 00:36:08,582
then there’s,

1141
00:36:11,782 –> 00:36:12,742
I went up there,

1142
00:36:13,302 –> 00:36:14,422
figure out what’s going on.

1143
00:36:15,382 –> 00:36:16,342
And the late,

1144
00:36:16,342 –> 00:36:17,702
great Eric Mays,

1145
00:36:17,702 –> 00:36:18,262
the late,

1146
00:36:18,262 –> 00:36:20,342
great Eric Mays,

1147
00:36:20,742 –> 00:36:22,102
America’s councilman,

1148
00:36:22,342 –> 00:36:22,822
you know,

1149
00:36:23,702 –> 00:36:27,942
took me to see the mayor using the public vehicle

1150
00:36:27,942 –> 00:36:30,182
for private use.

1151
00:36:30,182 –> 00:36:32,502
And you got a little clip of that?

1152
00:36:33,182 –> 00:36:33,582
Yeah, you know,

1153
00:36:33,662 –> 00:36:34,822
I just pulled in.

1154
00:36:34,822 –> 00:36:36,822
I’ve seen that he was here,

1155
00:36:36,822 –> 00:36:39,462
so I’m always highly suspicious.

1156
00:36:40,062 –> 00:36:43,622
of certain politicians telling the truth and having

1157
00:36:43,622 –> 00:36:47,422
their staff tell the truth and folks lying and telling

1158
00:36:47,422 –> 00:36:48,182
half truth.

1159
00:36:48,582 –> 00:36:49,702
I know this one.

1160
00:36:50,022 –> 00:36:51,102
He will trick you,

1161
00:36:51,462 –> 00:36:52,902
lie to the community.

1162
00:36:53,062 –> 00:36:55,862
So the mayor’s tax-funded car is here.

1163
00:36:56,222 –> 00:36:57,062
Look at those plates.

1164
00:36:58,582 –> 00:36:59,622
The mayor’s not here,

1165
00:37:00,342 –> 00:37:01,302
but his car is.

1166
00:37:02,742 –> 00:37:03,782
Poor Eric Mays.

1167
00:37:04,862 –> 00:37:06,022
They bumped him off.

1168
00:37:06,502 –> 00:37:07,022
They killed him.

1169
00:37:07,622 –> 00:37:07,982
They did.

1170
00:37:07,982 –> 00:37:08,462
I mean, you know,

1171
00:37:08,462 –> 00:37:08,982
and he was,

1172
00:37:08,982 –> 00:37:10,102
people loved him.

1173
00:37:10,102 –> 00:37:11,542
He spoke up again,

1174
00:37:11,622 –> 00:37:12,422
disruptor,

1175
00:37:12,742 –> 00:37:13,062
you know,

1176
00:37:13,062 –> 00:37:14,382
he was blowing up on TikTok,

1177
00:37:14,382 –> 00:37:15,782
which is bringing more attention,

1178
00:37:16,422 –> 00:37:16,902
you know,

1179
00:37:17,462 –> 00:37:20,262
to the issues that were taking place in front in Flint

1180
00:37:20,262 –> 00:37:21,622
and his position on those.

1181
00:37:21,902 –> 00:37:22,902
And then all of a sudden,

1182
00:37:23,862 –> 00:37:23,982
boom.

1183
00:37:24,422 –> 00:37:27,782
Eric Mays was the only city council person there when

1184
00:37:28,102 –> 00:37:30,342
Flint cracked that would

1185
00:37:31,022 –> 00:37:32,102
brought us in and I’m like,

1186
00:37:32,102 –> 00:37:33,782
I need to get a hold of the health department.

1187
00:37:33,782 –> 00:37:36,062
How many, I need to see the death certificates for

1188
00:37:36,102 –> 00:37:37,622
the Legionnaire’s disease.

1189
00:37:38,022 –> 00:37:38,302
Right.

1190
00:37:38,782 –> 00:37:40,862
And I’m sitting there with Eric and we’re just filming

1191
00:37:40,862 –> 00:37:41,382
and how he’s,

1192
00:37:41,542 –> 00:37:42,902
he can’t get through to anybody.

1193
00:37:43,302 –> 00:37:43,462
Right.

1194
00:37:44,182 –> 00:37:45,542
I mean, he was beautiful.

1195
00:37:45,942 –> 00:37:49,022
And they hounded him,

1196
00:37:49,022 –> 00:37:49,542
hounded him,

1197
00:37:49,542 –> 00:37:49,942
hounded him,

1198
00:37:49,942 –> 00:37:50,502
hounded him,

1199
00:37:50,502 –> 00:37:51,142
hounded him,

1200
00:37:51,142 –> 00:37:51,702
removed him,

1201
00:37:51,702 –> 00:37:52,262
hounded him,

1202
00:37:52,262 –> 00:37:52,982
arrested him.

1203
00:37:53,302 –> 00:37:54,702
And his heart finally blew up.

1204
00:37:54,902 –> 00:37:55,782
That’s what happened there.

1205
00:37:55,862 –> 00:37:59,702
Now I got it through an intermediary member.

1206
00:38:00,902 –> 00:38:04,902
After that car showed up on the no bullshit news hour,

1207
00:38:06,102 –> 00:38:07,462
the garage is off limit to the public.

1208
00:38:07,942 –> 00:38:10,062
And then I got it through an intermediary that the

1209
00:38:10,062 –> 00:38:11,462
mayor, Mayor Neely,

1210
00:38:11,462 –> 00:38:14,222
who was on the city council and was advocating to

1211
00:38:14,222 –> 00:38:16,582
drink the Flint River water and was giving tours,

1212
00:38:16,662 –> 00:38:18,262
and all of a sudden now he didn’t.

1213
00:38:19,302 –> 00:38:20,502
That guy, I hear,

1214
00:38:20,662 –> 00:38:22,622
threatened to beat my ass next time you see me.

1215
00:38:22,702 –> 00:38:23,942
He ain’t going to beat no ass.

1216
00:38:24,662 –> 00:38:25,942
Bald ass out of shape.

1217
00:38:26,102 –> 00:38:27,342
Man, get the fuck out of here.

1218
00:38:27,342 –> 00:38:28,342
Can we sell tickets?

1219
00:38:29,462 –> 00:38:30,182
For charity.

1220
00:38:30,182 –> 00:38:30,862
Yeah, for Flint.

1221
00:38:30,902 –> 00:38:33,142
To bail out Jedidiah.

1222
00:38:33,502 –> 00:38:34,342
I love the idea,

1223
00:38:34,342 –> 00:38:36,422
though, he’s going to kick your ass because you exposed

1224
00:38:36,422 –> 00:38:37,462
something he did.

1225
00:38:38,062 –> 00:38:39,302
It just drives me up a wall.

1226
00:38:39,742 –> 00:38:40,342
Man, everything,

1227
00:38:40,422 –> 00:38:41,822
it’s ganged out of there.

1228
00:38:42,582 –> 00:38:43,702
So now, you know,

1229
00:38:44,582 –> 00:38:46,662
he lost control of the city council because the good

1230
00:38:46,662 –> 00:38:47,662
people of Flint just

1231
00:38:48,662 –> 00:38:52,422
filled the vacant seat of a council member that’s hostile

1232
00:38:52,422 –> 00:38:52,662
to him.

1233
00:38:52,662 –> 00:38:54,182
So now it’s going to be 5’4,

1234
00:38:54,302 –> 00:38:56,662
and they’re going to investigate this fucking dude.

1235
00:38:56,982 –> 00:38:59,222
And Jedidiah is up there making waves,

1236
00:38:59,222 –> 00:39:00,102
making headlines,

1237
00:39:00,182 –> 00:39:01,782
because he’s just needling them,

1238
00:39:02,102 –> 00:39:02,902
needling them,

1239
00:39:03,062 –> 00:39:03,782
needle them.

1240
00:39:03,822 –> 00:39:05,382
And guess where I’m going next week?

1241
00:39:05,982 –> 00:39:06,262
Flint?

1242
00:39:06,662 –> 00:39:06,862
Flint.

1243
00:39:07,462 –> 00:39:10,902
How long can they hold him for disturbing the public?

1244
00:39:10,902 –> 00:39:12,982
I mean, isn’t that just kind of write you a ticket

1245
00:39:12,982 –> 00:39:13,702
and let you go?

1246
00:39:14,262 –> 00:39:14,982
Yeah, it’s a great one.

1247
00:39:15,182 –> 00:39:16,422
And, you know,

1248
00:39:16,982 –> 00:39:18,102
let’s call this guy.

1249
00:39:18,142 –> 00:39:18,302
Okay.

1250
00:39:19,262 –> 00:39:19,782
Because this guy.

1251
00:39:20,502 –> 00:39:21,062
Something I’m like,

1252
00:39:21,062 –> 00:39:21,702
what do you do?

1253
00:39:21,782 –> 00:39:23,622
I mean, you disturbed the peace.

1254
00:39:24,102 –> 00:39:24,902
Was he a threat?

1255
00:39:25,062 –> 00:39:27,502
Why is he locked up in solitary confinement?

1256
00:39:28,502 –> 00:39:29,862
Because they want him locked up.

1257
00:39:29,942 –> 00:39:31,022
I know, but I’m saying like,

1258
00:39:31,022 –> 00:39:33,782
how long legally can they detain him for something

1259
00:39:33,782 –> 00:39:34,022
like that?

1260
00:39:34,022 –> 00:39:34,902
We’ll find another reason.

1261
00:39:36,302 –> 00:39:36,822
Okay, let me call.

1262
00:39:43,062 –> 00:39:45,782
Our high technology speakerphone.

1263
00:39:51,782 –> 00:39:52,422
Hey, Jordan.

1264
00:39:53,782 –> 00:39:54,102
Yes, sir.

1265
00:39:54,102 –> 00:39:54,622
Can you hear me?

1266
00:39:54,662 –> 00:39:55,262
Yeah, I can,

1267
00:39:55,262 –> 00:39:55,462
man.

1268
00:39:55,462 –> 00:39:56,102
How are you doing?

1269
00:39:56,582 –> 00:39:57,222
I’m doing well,

1270
00:39:57,302 –> 00:39:57,662
Charlie.

1271
00:39:57,662 –> 00:39:58,502
I do apologize,

1272
00:39:58,742 –> 00:39:58,902
man.

1273
00:39:58,902 –> 00:40:00,422
There’s so much going on right now.

1274
00:40:01,782 –> 00:40:02,822
Getting calls in,

1275
00:40:02,822 –> 00:40:05,702
but I’m glad to announce that he is doing well.

1276
00:40:06,502 –> 00:40:08,702
Just had an opportunity to speak with him personally,

1277
00:40:08,742 –> 00:40:10,422
so he’s doing well.

1278
00:40:11,782 –> 00:40:15,782
You want to explain to the viewers and the listeners,

1279
00:40:15,782 –> 00:40:16,662
like what happened to them?

1280
00:40:17,862 –> 00:40:18,262
Sure.

1281
00:40:18,262 –> 00:40:21,222
So what happened is on Monday,

1282
00:40:21,462 –> 00:40:24,142
because of all of the things that are going on in

1283
00:40:24,342 –> 00:40:25,822
Flint, Flint,

1284
00:40:25,942 –> 00:40:27,142
Michigan is,

1285
00:40:28,102 –> 00:40:32,422
or just have approached 11 years of their water crisis.

1286
00:40:33,382 –> 00:40:37,542
This has been a fight that Jed has been on since the

1287
00:40:37,542 –> 00:40:40,022
beginning with taking

1288
00:40:41,302 –> 00:40:43,222
18 wheelers down to Flint,

1289
00:40:43,222 –> 00:40:46,302
Michigan to make sure that they had clean bottled

1290
00:40:46,302 –> 00:40:46,822
water.

1291
00:40:47,582 –> 00:40:50,582
And so this Flint has been a place that has been close

1292
00:40:50,582 –> 00:40:53,662
to Jedidiah’s heart and all of that.

1293
00:40:54,422 –> 00:40:59,462
With the council that is in office right now,

1294
00:40:59,862 –> 00:41:02,222
there’s been a lot of corruption that has been going

1295
00:41:02,222 –> 00:41:06,422
on with them receiving offer money that was intended

1296
00:41:06,422 –> 00:41:07,542
for the residents

1297
00:41:08,422 –> 00:41:11,702
They have that money that have been going to their

1298
00:41:11,702 –> 00:41:13,902
personal 501c3 companies.

1299
00:41:14,502 –> 00:41:15,702
And so for that reason,

1300
00:41:15,702 –> 00:41:20,182
Jedediah has come to Clint to expose corruption and

1301
00:41:20,342 –> 00:41:22,662
what the city council and what the mayor is doing.

1302
00:41:23,222 –> 00:41:24,022
On Monday,

1303
00:41:24,462 –> 00:41:27,942
JID got a group of people and protested and walked

1304
00:41:27,942 –> 00:41:28,902
from City Hall

1305
00:41:29,382 –> 00:41:34,342
to the residents of the mayor in protest of all of

1306
00:41:34,342 –> 00:41:35,782
the things that were going on.

1307
00:41:35,782 –> 00:41:38,822
The killing of the youth in Flint,

1308
00:41:38,822 –> 00:41:39,262
Michigan,

1309
00:41:39,262 –> 00:41:40,422
as well as,

1310
00:41:41,542 –> 00:41:41,862
you know,

1311
00:41:41,862 –> 00:41:46,022
the water crisis and the mismanagement of money.

1312
00:41:46,742 –> 00:41:47,862
As a result of that,

1313
00:41:47,862 –> 00:41:49,622
there was a call that was made.

1314
00:41:50,182 –> 00:41:54,862
The mayor has a group of special unit officers.

1315
00:41:54,862 –> 00:41:56,662
They call them the mayor’s goons.

1316
00:41:57,222 –> 00:42:01,622
These officers are dispatched under order of the mayor

1317
00:42:01,622 –> 00:42:03,782
and not the chief of police.

1318
00:42:04,302 –> 00:42:05,782
And so these was attacked.

1319
00:42:05,942 –> 00:42:10,342
This unit was the actual unit that took Jedediah up

1320
00:42:10,662 –> 00:42:11,182
in last night.

1321
00:42:11,382 –> 00:42:12,182
Okay, let me stop you.

1322
00:42:12,182 –> 00:42:13,142
Let me stop you there.

1323
00:42:13,702 –> 00:42:20,022
So it was Monday in daylight hours that Jedediah leads

1324
00:42:20,022 –> 00:42:23,142
a peaceful march and protest to the mayor’s house.

1325
00:42:23,382 –> 00:42:24,902
And I’m not even sure the mayor lives there,

1326
00:42:24,982 –> 00:42:26,102
just to be quite honest with you.

1327
00:42:26,742 –> 00:42:28,342
That is correct.

1328
00:42:28,342 –> 00:42:35,342
And they’re peaceably protesting Jedediah’s got a bullhorn,

1329
00:42:35,342 –> 00:42:35,782
et cetera,

1330
00:42:35,782 –> 00:42:35,942
right?

1331
00:42:35,942 –> 00:42:38,142
That is correct.

1332
00:42:38,262 –> 00:42:38,662
Okay.

1333
00:42:38,742 –> 00:42:41,262
Did the police show up on Monday to disperse the crowd?

1334
00:42:41,262 –> 00:42:47,222
There was a police escort from City Hall to the mayor’s

1335
00:42:47,262 –> 00:42:47,502
house.

1336
00:42:48,182 –> 00:42:52,742
And once the protests reached the mayor’s house,

1337
00:42:52,742 –> 00:42:54,262
it was discovered that there was two

1338
00:42:56,182 –> 00:42:58,102
plainclothes officers there as well.

1339
00:42:58,462 –> 00:42:59,222
And so there,

1340
00:42:59,222 –> 00:43:02,342
at no point was there ever a threat to the mayor or

1341
00:43:02,622 –> 00:43:04,102
any other residents on that block.

1342
00:43:04,182 –> 00:43:05,462
So they didn’t arrest him.

1343
00:43:05,542 –> 00:43:07,542
They didn’t arrest him at the protest.

1344
00:43:07,542 –> 00:43:08,022
There was,

1345
00:43:08,102 –> 00:43:09,982
right, no grounds there to be arrested.

1346
00:43:09,982 –> 00:43:10,662
Is that what,

1347
00:43:10,742 –> 00:43:11,142
you know,

1348
00:43:11,302 –> 00:43:11,782
pretty much it?

1349
00:43:11,782 –> 00:43:12,462
That is correct.

1350
00:43:12,822 –> 00:43:13,422
That is correct.

1351
00:43:13,622 –> 00:43:16,822
So then now we’re into Tuesday night and Jedidiah is

1352
00:43:17,142 –> 00:43:19,622
driving around in the passenger seat of a rental car?

1353
00:43:21,302 –> 00:43:22,742
So the rental car,

1354
00:43:23,622 –> 00:43:24,822
it was not a rental car.

1355
00:43:25,382 –> 00:43:29,782
In fact, the vehicle that he was in was just belonged

1356
00:43:29,782 –> 00:43:32,982
to Jedediah and investigated and advocated it as a

1357
00:43:32,982 –> 00:43:34,182
company car that we have.

1358
00:43:35,062 –> 00:43:37,862
And he was in the passenger seat.

1359
00:43:38,582 –> 00:43:40,102
Unbeknownst to us,

1360
00:43:40,262 –> 00:43:42,262
they said that they want to tow the car,

1361
00:43:42,582 –> 00:43:45,982
even though there were several licensed

1362
00:43:47,702 –> 00:43:48,982
people on scene,

1363
00:43:49,142 –> 00:43:52,182
including one of the council people of Flint,

1364
00:43:52,182 –> 00:43:52,662
Michigan,

1365
00:43:52,662 –> 00:43:56,742
who agreed that she would drive the car off.

1366
00:43:57,222 –> 00:43:59,982
But for the inconvenience of Jedediah,

1367
00:44:00,542 –> 00:44:02,502
they decided that they would impound the car.

1368
00:44:02,742 –> 00:44:04,262
Well, you’re burying the lead here,

1369
00:44:04,262 –> 00:44:07,782
Jordan, which is you guys are driving around,

1370
00:44:07,782 –> 00:44:09,102
no traffic violation,

1371
00:44:09,102 –> 00:44:10,422
no nothing.

1372
00:44:11,142 –> 00:44:13,702
So the secret police were hunting for him?

1373
00:44:13,902 –> 00:44:14,702
Is that what you’re saying?

1374
00:44:16,742 –> 00:44:17,342
Yes, Charlie,

1375
00:44:17,342 –> 00:44:18,462
that’s exactly what I’m saying.

1376
00:44:18,462 –> 00:44:18,902
The fuck.

1377
00:44:20,502 –> 00:44:22,582
Now they got him in the county jail and he’s awaiting

1378
00:44:22,582 –> 00:44:23,262
arraignment.

1379
00:44:23,262 –> 00:44:23,622
That?

1380
00:44:24,262 –> 00:44:25,062
On what charges?

1381
00:44:25,422 –> 00:44:26,822
What’s the charge?

1382
00:44:26,822 –> 00:44:28,902
A misdemeanor disturbing the peace?

1383
00:44:28,902 –> 00:44:34,982
The charges to the last of my knowledge,

1384
00:44:35,382 –> 00:44:39,142
the mayor was trying to get the misdemeanor moved

1385
00:44:39,222 –> 00:44:40,582
up to a felony.

1386
00:44:41,662 –> 00:44:42,702
disorderly charge,

1387
00:44:42,702 –> 00:44:45,462
which is absolutely unheard of,

1388
00:44:45,862 –> 00:44:47,262
does not even exist.

1389
00:44:48,102 –> 00:44:49,942
But the mayor at this point is,

1390
00:44:50,822 –> 00:44:51,982
to my belief,

1391
00:44:51,982 –> 00:44:53,702
he’s crashing out at this point.

1392
00:44:54,422 –> 00:45:01,222
Last night he lost his power in the city and probably

1393
00:45:01,222 –> 00:45:05,382
going to be on the ropes to be investigated because

1394
00:45:05,382 –> 00:45:06,262
the 5th vote

1395
00:45:07,142 –> 00:45:09,022
He would no longer have control over it.

1396
00:45:09,462 –> 00:45:11,062
Woo, what a numb nuts.

1397
00:45:11,862 –> 00:45:13,942
Hey, how about Jordan?

1398
00:45:13,942 –> 00:45:15,942
Because Flint’s near and dear to my heart.

1399
00:45:15,942 –> 00:45:17,302
I’ve done a lot of work.

1400
00:45:17,302 –> 00:45:19,302
I brought my own 18-wheeler,

1401
00:45:19,542 –> 00:45:22,262
but it was a milk truck,

1402
00:45:22,662 –> 00:45:22,862
you know,

1403
00:45:22,862 –> 00:45:27,782
like one of those big gas tankers full of nice fresh

1404
00:45:27,782 –> 00:45:28,342
water.

1405
00:45:29,262 –> 00:45:31,622
And I had the police chasing me around.

1406
00:45:32,022 –> 00:45:33,222
It was ridiculous.

1407
00:45:33,222 –> 00:45:34,502
I was trying to bring showers.

1408
00:45:35,382 –> 00:45:36,542
Yeah, remember that?

1409
00:45:36,542 –> 00:45:36,782
I do.

1410
00:45:36,782 –> 00:45:37,782
So how about Jordan,

1411
00:45:37,782 –> 00:45:39,942
how about like I make my way to Flint and meet up

1412
00:45:39,942 –> 00:45:40,582
with you guys?

1413
00:45:45,062 –> 00:45:47,262
I would absolutely love that.

1414
00:45:47,262 –> 00:45:50,022
I’m pretty sure that Jed absolutely would love that.

1415
00:45:50,022 –> 00:45:52,102
He is actually looking forward.

1416
00:45:52,982 –> 00:45:55,782
We were actually on to do an interview with you today,

1417
00:45:56,502 –> 00:45:58,342
but I know that that is something that we would love.

1418
00:45:59,142 –> 00:46:00,902
Well, that’s democracy Flint style.

1419
00:46:00,902 –> 00:46:01,782
Now I’m going to

1420
00:46:02,662 –> 00:46:03,422
I’ll call you later.

1421
00:46:03,422 –> 00:46:04,222
I know you got a lot to do.

1422
00:46:04,222 –> 00:46:06,182
You got to get Jed out of the who sky there.

1423
00:46:06,182 –> 00:46:10,742
But just to bookend the show,

1424
00:46:10,742 –> 00:46:11,542
this is a little,

1425
00:46:11,542 –> 00:46:14,262
this is Eric Mays’s number one hit,

1426
00:46:17,462 –> 00:46:19,142
America’s Councilman.

1427
00:46:20,022 –> 00:46:20,822
Every hour,

1428
00:46:20,982 –> 00:46:21,542
only hour,

1429
00:46:22,462 –> 00:46:25,582
when we listen and gain our knowledge and power,

1430
00:46:25,702 –> 00:46:29,502
we turn to the no bullshit hour.

1431
00:46:31,902 –> 00:46:32,022
Yeah.

1432
00:46:32,982 –> 00:46:33,262
All right,

1433
00:46:33,262 –> 00:46:33,462
man.

1434
00:46:33,462 –> 00:46:33,942
Good luck.

1435
00:46:35,302 –> 00:46:37,062
The great legendary Eric Maze.

1436
00:46:37,222 –> 00:46:38,102
Thank you so much.

1437
00:46:38,102 –> 00:46:38,342
All right,

1438
00:46:38,342 –> 00:46:38,742
Jordan.

1439
00:46:39,062 –> 00:46:39,702
I’ll call you later.

1440
00:46:40,982 –> 00:46:41,302
All right,

1441
00:46:41,302 –> 00:46:42,342
that’s the program.

1442
00:46:42,582 –> 00:46:43,542
We’re going to Flint.

1443
00:46:43,622 –> 00:46:46,502
Ken, get your canteen filled.

1444
00:46:46,502 –> 00:46:47,542
We’re going to Flint.

1445
00:46:48,382 –> 00:46:49,342
We’ll see you next week.

1446
00:47:28,103 –> 00:47:28,183
The.
