Fed Fraud

Ann Arbor– We dish the dirt on Fed Governor Lisa Cook’s dirty mortgage deals.

Transcript:

1
00:00:00,560 –> 00:00:03,920
I was wondering if Lisa Cook lives here or do you rent?

2
00:00:05,440 –> 00:00:07,360
Governor, where do you live?

3
00:00:07,840 –> 00:00:11,120
Uh oh, Lisa just got cooked.

4
00:00:14,080 –> 00:00:17,040
Lisa Cook’s financial house is on fire.

5
00:00:17,760 –> 00:00:18,640
Naturally,

6
00:00:18,720 –> 00:00:21,440
there’s a Michigan angle to the story because there’s

7
00:00:21,440 –> 00:00:23,440
always a Michigan angle to this story.

8
00:00:23,920 –> 00:00:25,280
Cook, if you don’t know,

9
00:00:25,640 –> 00:00:27,440
a governor with the Federal Reserve Bank,

10
00:00:27,760 –> 00:00:31,920
has a bank loan on a secondary house in Massachusetts,

11
00:00:32,080 –> 00:00:35,360
which the Trump administration alleges she rents out

12
00:00:35,440 –> 00:00:36,080
full-time.

13
00:00:36,560 –> 00:00:39,280
A judge might call that mortgage fraud.

14
00:00:40,560 –> 00:00:42,720
Cook also owns a condo in Atlanta,

15
00:00:42,880 –> 00:00:46,040
which she claims is her primary residence on banking

16
00:00:46,040 –> 00:00:47,360
and government documents.

17
00:00:47,680 –> 00:00:50,320
The Trump administration alleges there’s evidence that

18
00:00:50,320 –> 00:00:51,760
she rents that one too.

19
00:00:52,400 –> 00:00:54,240
And that could also be mortgage fraud.

20
00:00:55,280 –> 00:00:56,320
There’s the Michigan part.

21
00:00:56,560 –> 00:00:59,200
Cook has a third home in Ann Arbor,

22
00:00:59,360 –> 00:01:03,000
which she also lists as her primary residence on banking

23
00:01:03,000 –> 00:01:04,080
and government papers.

24
00:01:04,640 –> 00:01:07,440
Lisa must be living in Ann Arbor in the tidy brick

25
00:01:07,440 –> 00:01:10,200
house with the columned portico on Jackson Avenue

26
00:01:10,200 –> 00:01:11,200
then, right?

27
00:01:12,480 –> 00:01:14,480
So I stopped by the house last week.

28
00:01:14,960 –> 00:01:18,240
The glass in the storm door was filthy with neglect.

29
00:01:18,560 –> 00:01:19,480
A metal lock box,

30
00:01:19,480 –> 00:01:19,640
you know,

31
00:01:19,680 –> 00:01:20,560
the kind they use,

32
00:01:21,600 –> 00:01:23,680
and realty deals so you can come by and get the key

33
00:01:23,680 –> 00:01:23,880
out.

34
00:01:24,240 –> 00:01:25,440
That hung on a doorknob.

35
00:01:25,440 –> 00:01:26,080
It’s weird.

36
00:01:26,560 –> 00:01:27,440
From the porch,

37
00:01:27,680 –> 00:01:30,480
I could see a figure sitting at the dining room table.

38
00:01:31,280 –> 00:01:32,080
When I knocked,

39
00:01:32,320 –> 00:01:34,080
the door slightly cracked open,

40
00:01:34,240 –> 00:01:38,400
only to reveal a white man partially visible behind

41
00:01:38,560 –> 00:01:39,520
the filthy glass.

42
00:01:39,920 –> 00:01:42,000
Now, I don’t think Lisa’s married.

43
00:01:42,080 –> 00:01:44,040
So I’m wondering what this white man’s doing.

44
00:01:44,040 –> 00:01:44,720
And I say to him,

45
00:01:44,960 –> 00:01:45,840
I’m A reporter.

46
00:01:46,240 –> 00:01:47,200
He didn’t undo the chain.

47
00:01:48,000 –> 00:01:49,520
I was wondering if Lisa Cook lives here,

48
00:01:50,240 –> 00:01:51,200
or do you rent?

49
00:01:51,600 –> 00:01:53,520
I’m going to show you the video proof in a minute.

50
00:01:53,840 –> 00:01:54,960
It’s hard to hear the guy.

51
00:01:55,760 –> 00:01:56,720
But he said to me,

52
00:01:56,720 –> 00:01:58,080
no, we’re just renters here.

53
00:01:58,560 –> 00:02:00,520
He made it clear he didn’t feel comfortable with the

54
00:02:00,520 –> 00:02:03,280
reporter being on the deteriorating porch.

55
00:02:04,080 –> 00:02:05,200
You’ll have to talk to the owner,

56
00:02:05,200 –> 00:02:05,600
he said.

57
00:02:05,680 –> 00:02:06,560
Okay, I said.

58
00:02:06,720 –> 00:02:07,840
Is it just you living here?

59
00:02:08,080 –> 00:02:08,880
Yeah, he said.

60
00:02:09,120 –> 00:02:09,760
Just renting,

61
00:02:09,760 –> 00:02:10,400
I asked again.

62
00:02:13,200 –> 00:02:13,920
No comment.

63
00:02:14,960 –> 00:02:15,520
I’m sorry?

64
00:02:15,520 –> 00:02:16,960
It was difficult to hear.

65
00:02:17,120 –> 00:02:20,000
The traffic was crackling like an old transistor radio

66
00:02:20,080 –> 00:02:20,960
on Jackson Avenue,

67
00:02:20,960 –> 00:02:21,920
very busy St.

68
00:02:22,080 –> 00:02:23,440
There’s a bus stop nearby.

69
00:02:24,080 –> 00:02:25,760
You’ll have to talk to the owner of the house.

70
00:02:26,560 –> 00:02:27,120
And with that,

71
00:02:27,120 –> 00:02:28,080
the interview was over.

72
00:02:28,080 –> 00:02:28,920
The chain rattled,

73
00:02:28,920 –> 00:02:29,680
the door closed,

74
00:02:29,840 –> 00:02:31,520
and someone pulled the curtains tight.

75
00:02:32,320 –> 00:02:36,080
Now, it’s hard to believe Cook could get confused over

76
00:02:36,080 –> 00:02:37,440
her mortgage paperwork.

77
00:02:37,840 –> 00:02:40,800
Cook is supposed to be a financial sophisticate,

78
00:02:41,040 –> 00:02:43,440
a member of the Board of Governors of the world’s

79
00:02:43,440 –> 00:02:44,960
most powerful central bank.

80
00:02:45,360 –> 00:02:48,080
A bank that sets interest rates that influence the

81
00:02:48,080 –> 00:02:49,480
cost of financing a home,

82
00:02:49,480 –> 00:02:50,080
mind you.

83
00:02:50,640 –> 00:02:52,160
Now, all three mortgages,

84
00:02:52,160 –> 00:02:53,040
all three of them,

85
00:02:53,520 –> 00:02:54,480
Massachusetts,

86
00:02:54,640 –> 00:02:56,080
Atlanta, Ann Arbor,

87
00:02:57,040 –> 00:02:59,680
were taken out by Cook in 2021,

88
00:03:00,080 –> 00:03:02,240
all within a time span of two months,

89
00:03:02,720 –> 00:03:03,520
three weeks,

90
00:03:04,080 –> 00:03:04,960
and four days.

91
00:03:05,040 –> 00:03:07,200
So you’re not going to get confused as to where you’re

92
00:03:07,200 –> 00:03:07,480
living.

93
00:03:07,480 –> 00:03:08,680
And oh, geez,

94
00:03:08,680 –> 00:03:11,200
I forgot about that loan I took out two weeks ago.

95
00:03:12,160 –> 00:03:14,880
Come on, that’s cheating.

96
00:03:15,760 –> 00:03:18,000
In her 2025 ethics filings,

97
00:03:18,160 –> 00:03:21,120
Cook claimed two of the properties are her primary

98
00:03:21,120 –> 00:03:21,760
residences,

99
00:03:21,840 –> 00:03:22,800
so she’s still doing it.

100
00:03:23,200 –> 00:03:25,200
wasn’t like I did it in 2021.

101
00:03:25,520 –> 00:03:27,360
On your ethics filings,

102
00:03:27,520 –> 00:03:31,440
you said you had two primary residences and the Massachusetts

103
00:03:31,440 –> 00:03:33,280
dwelling was an income property.

104
00:03:33,600 –> 00:03:35,120
Again, that’s cheating.

105
00:03:35,280 –> 00:03:39,080
So Trump fired her last week for cause and two criminal

106
00:03:39,080 –> 00:03:41,520
referrals against Cook had been referred to the DOJ.

107
00:03:41,920 –> 00:03:42,640
For her part,

108
00:03:42,880 –> 00:03:44,960
Cook is suing over her firing.

109
00:03:48,880 –> 00:03:52,560
Now, Trump is accused of attacking a prominent black

110
00:03:52,560 –> 00:03:55,920
woman who refuses to lower interest rates as Trump

111
00:03:55,920 –> 00:03:56,800
has demanded.

112
00:03:57,440 –> 00:03:58,800
And that might be so,

113
00:03:58,800 –> 00:04:00,960
but as far as my motivations go,

114
00:04:01,240 –> 00:04:04,160
I’m simply trying to hold the powerful to account.

115
00:04:04,400 –> 00:04:05,680
Don’t we all want that?

116
00:04:06,080 –> 00:04:09,600
When it comes to questions of residency and real estate,

117
00:04:09,920 –> 00:04:13,440
you may have seen me on some porches in the past here.

118
00:04:13,920 –> 00:04:15,200
Two Detroit mayors,

119
00:04:16,000 –> 00:04:17,520
a current mayoral candidate,

120
00:04:17,920 –> 00:04:19,120
a county executive,

121
00:04:19,560 –> 00:04:20,640
a county commissioner,

122
00:04:20,960 –> 00:04:22,240
a Supreme Court justice,

123
00:04:22,480 –> 00:04:23,680
a circuit court judge,

124
00:04:23,840 –> 00:04:25,040
a district court judge,

125
00:04:25,200 –> 00:04:26,320
a member of Congress,

126
00:04:26,520 –> 00:04:27,680
a fire commissioner,

127
00:04:27,960 –> 00:04:29,120
a prominent minister,

128
00:04:29,280 –> 00:04:32,240
and a major party political treasurer.

129
00:04:33,200 –> 00:04:34,560
That’s just a dozen.

130
00:04:36,160 –> 00:04:37,520
These people were black,

131
00:04:38,000 –> 00:04:38,800
they were white,

132
00:04:39,360 –> 00:04:40,240
they were male,

133
00:04:40,320 –> 00:04:41,440
they were female,

134
00:04:41,600 –> 00:04:42,680
they were Democrats,

135
00:04:42,800 –> 00:04:44,000
they were Republicans.

136
00:04:44,400 –> 00:04:45,520
don’t matter to me.

137
00:04:46,080 –> 00:04:48,560
There cannot be two sets of rules,

138
00:04:48,880 –> 00:04:51,920
one for the elites who scam their way into favorable

139
00:04:51,920 –> 00:04:52,960
financial terms,

140
00:04:53,120 –> 00:04:56,160
and another for the rest of us who endure audits,

141
00:04:56,240 –> 00:04:57,280
foreclosures,

142
00:04:57,360 –> 00:04:58,400
and repossession.

143
00:04:59,040 –> 00:05:02,320
Now Cook’s got three basic questions to answer.

144
00:05:03,360 –> 00:05:06,440
One, was she renting the properties when she was supposed

145
00:05:06,440 –> 00:05:07,600
to be sleeping at them?

146
00:05:08,400 –> 00:05:12,640
Two, did she claim rental income on her tax forms?

147
00:05:13,760 –> 00:05:14,240
Three.

148
00:05:15,280 –> 00:05:17,200
Where does she actually live?

149
00:05:17,280 –> 00:05:19,280
Because it’s sure to hell ain’t Ann Arbor.

150
00:05:19,760 –> 00:05:21,320
Now, here’s the,

151
00:05:21,320 –> 00:05:22,320
if you’re listening,

152
00:05:22,480 –> 00:05:23,160
it’s muddled.

153
00:05:23,200 –> 00:05:24,400
I told you what the guy said,

154
00:05:24,560 –> 00:05:26,120
but this is just for everybody.

155
00:05:26,120 –> 00:05:27,120
This is how the day went.

156
00:05:27,640 –> 00:05:28,400
I want you to see it.

157
00:05:31,440 –> 00:05:34,560
Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook has three homes

158
00:05:34,880 –> 00:05:36,400
and big troubles.

159
00:05:36,960 –> 00:05:39,600
She claimed to the banks that she lived at all of them,

160
00:05:39,840 –> 00:05:42,800
but real estate records show she listed two of them

161
00:05:42,800 –> 00:05:43,440
for rent.

162
00:05:43,840 –> 00:05:44,960
That’s not legal.

163
00:05:45,520 –> 00:05:48,560
So Lisa must be living here in Ann Arbor at the 3rd

164
00:05:48,560 –> 00:05:49,920
house, right?

165
00:05:52,080 –> 00:05:53,120
The door’s dirty.

166
00:05:53,440 –> 00:05:55,040
There’s a key lock box right there.

167
00:05:57,520 –> 00:05:59,600
There’s a white man at the dining room table.

168
00:05:59,920 –> 00:06:00,480
It’s weird.

169
00:06:00,480 –> 00:06:02,400
I don’t think she’s married.

170
00:06:06,640 –> 00:06:06,800
Hello?

171
00:06:06,800 –> 00:06:07,160
How you doing?

172
00:06:07,160 –> 00:06:08,240
Okay, how are you?

173
00:06:08,320 –> 00:06:08,800
I’m good.

174
00:06:08,800 –> 00:06:09,680
My name’s Charlie.

175
00:06:09,800 –> 00:06:10,600
I’m a reporter.

176
00:06:10,600 –> 00:06:12,920
I was, this house is in the news.

177
00:06:12,920 –> 00:06:16,280
I was wondering if Lisa Cook lives here or do you rent?

178
00:06:16,280 –> 00:06:17,560
No, we’re just renting this.

179
00:06:17,560 –> 00:06:18,080
We’ll have to.

180
00:06:18,880 –> 00:06:19,440
I’m sorry?

181
00:06:20,960 –> 00:06:22,000
Bill has to talk to the owner.

182
00:06:22,160 –> 00:06:23,160
Okay, you just live in here?

183
00:06:23,160 –> 00:06:23,280
Yeah.

184
00:06:23,880 –> 00:06:24,640
Okay, just renting?

185
00:06:26,560 –> 00:06:27,880
No contact.

186
00:06:27,880 –> 00:06:28,160
I’m sorry?

187
00:06:29,120 –> 00:06:30,680
You have to talk to the owner in here.

188
00:06:30,680 –> 00:06:31,440
Okay, the owner,

189
00:06:31,520 –> 00:06:32,480
would you have a contact?

190
00:06:34,400 –> 00:06:35,120
Number.

191
00:06:36,640 –> 00:06:37,120
Oh.

192
00:06:39,520 –> 00:06:40,000
Oh.

193
00:06:40,800 –> 00:06:42,240
We’ll have to talk to the owner.

194
00:06:43,360 –> 00:06:44,560
They’re just living here.

195
00:06:46,240 –> 00:06:46,640
Oh.

196
00:06:48,320 –> 00:06:48,880
Governor?

197
00:06:53,920 –> 00:06:55,040
Where do you live?

198
00:07:00,560 –> 00:07:00,800
Love!

199
00:07:01,280 –> 00:07:03,280
from downtown Detroit,

200
00:07:03,600 –> 00:07:08,160
it’s the No Bullshit News Hour with my main man,

201
00:07:08,480 –> 00:07:10,400
Charlie Lesdau.

202
00:07:13,360 –> 00:07:14,480
And Karen Dumas.

203
00:07:14,480 –> 00:07:17,040
It’s just a breaking news.

204
00:07:17,520 –> 00:07:18,720
Double or bullshit.

205
00:07:18,960 –> 00:07:19,840
Double or bullshit.

206
00:07:20,680 –> 00:07:21,360
I’m Grace Karos,

207
00:07:21,440 –> 00:07:23,720
and I’m third generation of American Coney Island.

208
00:07:24,080 –> 00:07:25,840
People say Detroit’s a comeback city.

209
00:07:25,840 –> 00:07:26,640
I say where you’ve been.

210
00:07:26,640 –> 00:07:28,320
We’ve been here for over 100 years.

211
00:07:28,720 –> 00:07:30,720
My family’s been here on the same corner,

212
00:07:30,880 –> 00:07:34,120
serving our famous proprietary American Coney Island

213
00:07:34,120 –> 00:07:34,440
hot sauce.

214
00:07:35,120 –> 00:07:35,880
So like always,

215
00:07:35,880 –> 00:07:36,960
we’re keeping things fresh,

216
00:07:37,200 –> 00:07:38,400
updated, and new.

217
00:07:40,720 –> 00:07:42,480
We’d love to have you come downtown and visit us,

218
00:07:42,560 –> 00:07:43,360
but if you can’t,

219
00:07:43,440 –> 00:07:45,600
you can always go to americanconeyisland.com,

220
00:07:45,680 –> 00:07:46,560
order a Coney kit,

221
00:07:46,560 –> 00:07:48,320
get it delivered fresh right to your door.

222
00:07:49,600 –> 00:07:52,240
Is this the hole-in-one?

223
00:07:52,320 –> 00:07:53,920
It’s a hole-in-one,

224
00:07:54,040 –> 00:07:54,560
$50,000 if you hit it.

225
00:07:56,400 –> 00:07:56,680
Luke,

226
00:07:56,880 –> 00:08:00,040
Nowacki, Financial Wealth Management.

227
00:08:00,640 –> 00:08:02,480
What is 50 grand after tax?

228
00:08:05,920 –> 00:08:07,960
37,750.

229
00:08:08,000 –> 00:08:08,960
What about state tax?

230
00:08:09,480 –> 00:08:09,920
Yeah, that’s,

231
00:08:10,440 –> 00:08:11,920
I’m throwing both in there.

232
00:08:12,400 –> 00:08:13,440
What about sales tax?

233
00:08:13,600 –> 00:08:14,400
There’s no sales tax.

234
00:08:14,400 –> 00:08:15,200
Well, you’re buying the beer.

235
00:08:15,200 –> 00:08:15,600
It’s income.

236
00:08:15,680 –> 00:08:16,320
You’ll buy the beer.

237
00:08:16,560 –> 00:08:17,520
Eh, we write that off.

238
00:08:18,720 –> 00:08:19,520
Luke Nowacki,

239
00:08:20,480 –> 00:08:21,720
Financial Wealth Management.

240
00:08:21,720 –> 00:08:22,360
Expense allowance.

241
00:08:23,160 –> 00:08:24,280
when it rains,

242
00:08:24,280 –> 00:08:25,160
the power goes out.

243
00:08:25,160 –> 00:08:26,400
And when the power goes out,

244
00:08:26,400 –> 00:08:27,400
the internet goes out.

245
00:08:27,400 –> 00:08:28,400
When the internet goes out,

246
00:08:28,400 –> 00:08:31,600
I call my friend Matt and Bernie at XG Service Group.

247
00:08:31,760 –> 00:08:33,600
Look at Bernie here on his hands and knees,

248
00:08:33,840 –> 00:08:35,200
giving it everything he’s got.

249
00:08:35,760 –> 00:08:36,960
Look at that man crack.

250
00:08:37,200 –> 00:08:38,080
So busy.

251
00:08:38,800 –> 00:08:39,840
He forgot to wear a belt.

252
00:08:39,840 –> 00:08:41,920
There’s Matt right there getting the board together.

253
00:08:41,920 –> 00:08:44,640
That’s 734-245-4100.

254
00:08:44,640 –> 00:08:47,480
If you need Matt and Bernie to come take care of your

255
00:08:47,480 –> 00:08:48,480
voice over internet,

256
00:08:48,640 –> 00:08:49,840
your security cameras,

257
00:08:50,000 –> 00:08:51,600
off-campus access control,

258
00:08:51,840 –> 00:08:54,240
Wi-Fi and cameras for homes and business,

259
00:08:54,240 –> 00:08:55,360
they’ll design it for you.

260
00:08:55,640 –> 00:08:56,440
You got restaurants,

261
00:08:56,440 –> 00:08:57,640
they do drive-thru systems,

262
00:08:57,640 –> 00:08:59,360
railroad cameras for public safety.

263
00:08:59,600 –> 00:09:02,880
Total wireless camera systems for your home and business.

264
00:09:03,120 –> 00:09:03,600
Yeah, that’s right.

265
00:09:03,600 –> 00:09:07,280
Call XG Services at 734-245-4100.

266
00:09:08,640 –> 00:09:15,360
Okay, that’s Luke Nowacki at 248-663-4748.

267
00:09:15,600 –> 00:09:16,880
Pinnacle Wealth Strategies.

00:09:17,200 –> 00:09:19,840
248-663-4748.

269
00:09:20,320 –> 00:09:21,360
And for God’s sakes,

270
00:09:21,760 –> 00:09:24,840
would you go to americanconeyisland.com and start

271
00:09:24,840 –> 00:09:26,960
ordering these Coney kits for football season?

272
00:09:27,520 –> 00:09:28,080
You know what I mean?

273
00:09:28,320 –> 00:09:30,560
That is a great party favor.

274
00:09:30,840 –> 00:09:31,080
Hell yeah.

275
00:09:32,200 –> 00:09:32,560
It’s time.

276
00:09:32,800 –> 00:09:33,480
Starting Thursday.

277
00:09:33,520 –> 00:09:34,480
Did you order one?

278
00:09:35,000 –> 00:09:35,120
Yeah.

279
00:09:35,280 –> 00:09:36,400
Blue season kickoff.

280
00:09:36,480 –> 00:09:37,080
Thursday night.

281
00:09:37,080 –> 00:09:37,200
Yeah.

282
00:09:37,920 –> 00:09:38,320
You did?

283
00:09:38,400 –> 00:09:38,640
I did.

284
00:09:39,600 –> 00:09:40,400
Where’d you order it?

285
00:09:41,280 –> 00:09:42,640
At AmericanConeyIsland.com.

286
00:09:42,640 –> 00:09:43,320
Oh my man.

287
00:09:44,200 –> 00:09:45,560
I’ll be over yummy yummy.

288
00:09:47,280 –> 00:09:48,000
Where do you live again?

289
00:09:49,960 –> 00:09:51,080
It’s really far out of town.

290
00:09:51,080 –> 00:09:52,200
What about your mortgage?

291
00:09:52,200 –> 00:09:52,880
How’s your mortgage?

292
00:09:52,880 –> 00:09:56,440
I think I’m going to learn something about…

293
00:09:56,480 –> 00:10:00,400
Are you claiming personal residency exemptions at multiple

294
00:10:00,400 –> 00:10:01,040
houses?

295
00:10:01,520 –> 00:10:04,480
I can afford multiple houses like Lisa Cook,

296
00:10:04,480 –> 00:10:05,840
poor government servant.

297
00:10:06,800 –> 00:10:07,480
She’s dead to rights,

298
00:10:07,480 –> 00:10:07,880
isn’t she?

299
00:10:07,880 –> 00:10:08,720
Dead to rights.

300
00:10:09,920 –> 00:10:10,560
But listen,

301
00:10:10,560 –> 00:10:14,400
her response when she was fired kind of revealed she

302
00:10:14,400 –> 00:10:15,840
knew she was screwed on us.

303
00:10:16,240 –> 00:10:16,920
You mean the…

304
00:10:17,360 –> 00:10:20,160
She’s contesting the firing,

305
00:10:20,560 –> 00:10:22,440
not contesting the accusations.

306
00:10:22,440 –> 00:10:25,160
She didn’t even offer a response to the accusations

307
00:10:25,160 –> 00:10:26,400
when it first developed.

308
00:10:26,560 –> 00:10:28,440
This pisses me off to no end,

309
00:10:28,440 –> 00:10:28,640
man.

310
00:10:28,640 –> 00:10:29,120
It’s like…

311
00:10:32,480 –> 00:10:33,760
I’m trying to do everything right.

312
00:10:33,840 –> 00:10:35,440
So many of us are trying to do everything,

313
00:10:35,440 –> 00:10:36,560
be clean,

314
00:10:36,880 –> 00:10:37,400
pay your taxes.

315
00:10:37,540 –> 00:10:44,420
taxes like it’s so easy to cheat and like a moth to

316
00:10:44,420 –> 00:10:49,060
the porch light like you kind of want to do it and

317
00:10:49,060 –> 00:10:51,300
you just don’t because that’s what I was telling you

318
00:10:51,300 –> 00:10:53,260
earlier I feel like I’m the only sucker not committing

319
00:10:53,260 –> 00:10:57,580
fraud with my financials well and it’s lowbrow cheating

320
00:10:57,900 –> 00:11:00,060
And because of who she is,

321
00:11:00,380 –> 00:11:00,980
I mean, literally,

322
00:11:01,020 –> 00:11:03,900
she sits on the board of the Federal Reserve Bank

323
00:11:03,900 –> 00:11:04,900
of the United States.

324
00:11:04,940 –> 00:11:09,380
A few more powerful financial institutions on the globe.

325
00:11:09,420 –> 00:11:12,140
So she’s like the second most powerful banker on earth.

326
00:11:12,140 –> 00:11:16,460
And she’s participating in low bar graft.

327
00:11:17,020 –> 00:11:18,540
to commit fraud.

328
00:11:18,540 –> 00:11:20,740
And everybody’s making excuses for her.

329
00:11:20,740 –> 00:11:23,260
Well, it was before she was on the board of governors.

330
00:11:23,420 –> 00:11:25,300
Yeah, but this is when you were on the board of directors

331
00:11:25,300 –> 00:11:26,460
of the Chicago Fed.

332
00:11:26,700 –> 00:11:29,340
And in the ethics filings that are required every year,

333
00:11:29,420 –> 00:11:30,780
you kept up with the charade.

334
00:11:30,780 –> 00:11:32,660
But I’m always amazed today,

335
00:11:32,660 –> 00:11:33,700
I mean, the last 20 years,

336
00:11:33,700 –> 00:11:36,300
anyone committing any kind of financial fraud,

337
00:11:36,620 –> 00:11:38,780
there is an electronic record of it.

338
00:11:38,780 –> 00:11:41,660
Anyone that takes the time to put the pieces together

339
00:11:41,900 –> 00:11:43,260
will uncover the fraud.

340
00:11:43,260 –> 00:11:46,540
I mean, there’s probably not one that leaves more of

341
00:11:46,860 –> 00:11:46,900
a

342
00:11:46,980 –> 00:11:49,980
trail of clues more than financial fraud.

343
00:11:50,100 –> 00:11:53,420
And what, it was mortgage fraud,

344
00:11:53,420 –> 00:11:53,740
right?

345
00:11:53,740 –> 00:11:55,580
So you cheated the bank.

346
00:11:56,460 –> 00:11:57,980
You only get one place to live,

347
00:11:58,220 –> 00:11:58,540
right?

348
00:11:58,540 –> 00:11:59,580
And the insurers.

349
00:11:59,580 –> 00:12:00,620
And the insurers.

350
00:12:00,780 –> 00:12:05,100
And then there’s the city and the state and the federal

351
00:12:05,100 –> 00:12:05,540
government,

352
00:12:05,540 –> 00:12:06,540
because the question would be,

353
00:12:06,700 –> 00:12:07,260
if you’ve got,

354
00:12:07,660 –> 00:12:11,020
oh, this fucking house was listed in 2023,

355
00:12:11,620 –> 00:12:11,740
right?

356
00:12:12,300 –> 00:12:13,140
For 20,

357
00:12:14,180 –> 00:12:14,580
What was it,

358
00:12:14,580 –> 00:12:15,820
2,750 bucks?

359
00:12:16,140 –> 00:12:16,580
Yeah, okay,

360
00:12:16,580 –> 00:12:17,820
that was two years ago.

361
00:12:17,980 –> 00:12:19,500
So let’s call it three.

362
00:12:20,460 –> 00:12:21,980
Three grand for rent.

363
00:12:22,460 –> 00:12:23,660
And you got one in Atlanta.

364
00:12:23,660 –> 00:12:24,380
Atlanta’s hot.

365
00:12:24,380 –> 00:12:25,460
Atlanta’s booming.

366
00:12:25,460 –> 00:12:26,140
It’s expanding.

367
00:12:26,300 –> 00:12:29,700
So let’s just say 3,000 a month for the condo.

368
00:12:29,700 –> 00:12:31,180
And then you got one in Cambridge,

369
00:12:31,180 –> 00:12:32,060
Massachusetts.

370
00:12:32,220 –> 00:12:33,060
That’s fucking Harvard.

371
00:12:33,500 –> 00:12:34,860
That’s like Ann Arbor on.

372
00:12:34,900 –> 00:12:35,740
And it’s built out.

373
00:12:35,900 –> 00:12:36,180
Yeah.

374
00:12:36,220 –> 00:12:38,660
There’s not a lot of new development in Greater Boston.

375
00:12:38,700 –> 00:12:40,660
Okay, so let’s just say another 3 grand.

376
00:12:40,660 –> 00:12:41,180
First of all,

377
00:12:41,580 –> 00:12:43,940
if you were a professor and then you’re on the board

378
00:12:43,940 –> 00:12:44,100
of

379
00:12:45,260 –> 00:12:49,100
The Fed, you’re not making over 200 your whole life.

380
00:12:49,260 –> 00:12:53,820
So how do you afford three fucking houses in premier

381
00:12:53,900 –> 00:12:55,260
real estate centers?

382
00:12:55,660 –> 00:12:56,380
Okay, so anyway,

383
00:12:56,540 –> 00:12:57,500
3,000, 3,000,

384
00:12:57,500 –> 00:12:58,580
3,000 is 9,000.

385
00:12:58,780 –> 00:13:02,260
9,000 a month times 12 months is $108,000.

386
00:13:02,700 –> 00:13:06,780
Did you claim that with the IRS?

387
00:13:07,500 –> 00:13:09,580
If you didn’t claim that with the IRS,

388
00:13:11,060 –> 00:13:12,220
what would they do to us?

389
00:13:13,380 –> 00:13:14,140
What would they do to us?

390
00:13:14,300 –> 00:13:15,780
So now I’m talking to regular people.

391
00:13:15,900 –> 00:13:16,780
Relatives of mine,

392
00:13:16,780 –> 00:13:17,860
they foreclosed on your house.

393
00:13:17,860 –> 00:13:19,260
You didn’t get new terms.

394
00:13:19,340 –> 00:13:20,300
They wouldn’t deal with you,

395
00:13:20,300 –> 00:13:20,620
right?

396
00:13:22,940 –> 00:13:24,700
People I know getting audited up the ass.

397
00:13:24,740 –> 00:13:25,900
You scare you to death.

398
00:13:26,180 –> 00:13:26,900
What is this?

399
00:13:26,900 –> 00:13:29,820
So I wake up today angry.

400
00:13:29,900 –> 00:13:31,740
It’s big people.

401
00:13:32,460 –> 00:13:34,700
Because so many of you refuse to vote.

402
00:13:34,780 –> 00:13:35,740
Here’s what happens.

403
00:13:36,620 –> 00:13:38,620
Little slimy group gets together and goes,

404
00:13:38,620 –> 00:13:39,660
hey, you know,

405
00:13:39,660 –> 00:13:40,300
you’re in politics.

406
00:13:42,300 –> 00:13:43,020
You’re part of that group.

407
00:13:44,180 –> 00:13:46,700
What we’ll do is get a slimy little group together,

408
00:13:46,700 –> 00:13:47,420
manipulate it,

409
00:13:47,420 –> 00:13:48,180
we’ll take over,

410
00:13:48,180 –> 00:13:51,420
and all the dopes won’t see what they’re doing until

411
00:13:51,420 –> 00:13:52,540
it’s too late.

412
00:13:52,940 –> 00:13:54,540
Look at the state of the fucking country.

413
00:13:54,700 –> 00:13:55,300
Jason Rome.

414
00:13:56,300 –> 00:13:57,340
That’s what you kicked to me.

415
00:13:57,500 –> 00:13:58,460
Yeah, I blame you.

416
00:13:58,860 –> 00:14:01,140
It’s bad, isn’t it?

417
00:14:01,140 –> 00:14:01,420
is a bad.

418
00:14:01,500 –> 00:14:04,860
I mean, people that know how to manipulate the system

419
00:14:05,500 –> 00:14:06,860
and are in the position to do so.

420
00:14:06,860 –> 00:14:08,940
I mean, that’s why you’ve seen over the last few years

421
00:14:09,660 –> 00:14:13,980
legislation trying to ban trading by members of Congress

422
00:14:13,980 –> 00:14:16,300
that have access to information that the rest of us

423
00:14:16,300 –> 00:14:16,820
don’t have.

424
00:14:16,860 –> 00:14:19,340
We all didn’t know that they were allowed to trade.

425
00:14:19,620 –> 00:14:22,140
And even the ones that are critical of it when a push

426
00:14:22,140 –> 00:14:23,740
comes to shove on voting for it,

427
00:14:24,060 –> 00:14:24,940
for some reason,

428
00:14:24,940 –> 00:14:25,900
change their mind.

429
00:14:28,180 –> 00:14:30,140
And they have access to this information.

430
00:14:31,260 –> 00:14:32,500
In a way, you almost can’t blame them.

431
00:14:32,500 –> 00:14:34,940
If you walk out of a briefing having a pretty good

432
00:14:34,940 –> 00:14:36,940
understanding what’s going to happen to markets,

433
00:14:37,300 –> 00:14:39,500
and you’re prohibited from being able to take advantage

434
00:14:39,500 –> 00:14:39,740
of it.

435
00:14:39,900 –> 00:14:41,500
I could see the impulse to want to.

436
00:14:41,700 –> 00:14:47,020
And this is a woman who sets interest rates that have

437
00:14:47,020 –> 00:14:49,420
everything to do with what you pay for your home.

438
00:14:49,820 –> 00:14:54,380
So she must know how difficult and expensive it is

439
00:14:54,380 –> 00:14:55,580
to own a home now.

440
00:14:56,060 –> 00:14:57,180
And she’s engaged in this.

441
00:14:57,260 –> 00:14:57,740
You can’t,

442
00:14:57,740 –> 00:14:58,620
you got to go.

443
00:14:59,420 –> 00:15:01,180
It doesn’t matter what side of the aisle you’re on.

444
00:15:01,340 –> 00:15:01,980
You got to go.

445
00:15:02,220 –> 00:15:04,780
You know, you hear all the neo comms.

446
00:15:05,500 –> 00:15:06,180
Neo-coms.

447
00:15:06,220 –> 00:15:07,740
Yeah, the neo-communists,

448
00:15:07,740 –> 00:15:07,980
right?

449
00:15:08,220 –> 00:15:09,060
It’s unaffordable.

450
00:15:09,060 –> 00:15:09,740
We can’t live.

451
00:15:10,060 –> 00:15:10,900
This is the reason.

452
00:15:10,940 –> 00:15:11,060
Yeah.

453
00:15:11,820 –> 00:15:14,060
Here, I want to pull something.

454
00:15:14,060 –> 00:15:14,420
I’ll tell you,

455
00:15:14,420 –> 00:15:15,580
let’s see where it’s at.

456
00:15:16,140 –> 00:15:17,020
I looked up this morning.

457
00:15:17,420 –> 00:15:20,420
It’s the former Supreme Court justice for the state

458
00:15:20,420 –> 00:15:21,180
of Michigan.

459
00:15:21,500 –> 00:15:22,460
She went to prison.

460
00:15:23,220 –> 00:15:24,660
I’ll tell you that story.

461
00:15:24,660 –> 00:15:28,540
I just want to tell you what they said at the time

462
00:15:28,940 –> 00:15:32,260
when she was sentenced to a year and a day in the

463
00:15:32,260 –> 00:15:33,580
federal penitentiary.

464
00:15:34,260 –> 00:15:37,500
by committing bank fraud in connection with properties.

465
00:15:37,500 –> 00:15:38,700
I’ll tell it to you no more.

466
00:15:38,940 –> 00:15:43,660
This is United States Attorney Barbara McQuaid,

467
00:15:43,660 –> 00:15:45,340
who is questionable,

468
00:15:45,500 –> 00:15:46,500
ethically questionable,

469
00:15:46,500 –> 00:15:48,740
like not a good person.

470
00:15:48,940 –> 00:15:49,660
It’s a long story,

471
00:15:49,660 –> 00:15:50,540
but she said,

472
00:15:51,020 –> 00:15:51,740
super lib,

473
00:15:51,740 –> 00:15:52,140
right?

474
00:15:52,700 –> 00:15:55,420
I don’t know how you leave the US Attorney’s Office

475
00:15:55,420 –> 00:15:57,580
and all of a sudden you’re tenured faculty at Michigan

476
00:15:57,580 –> 00:15:57,740
Law.

477
00:15:58,940 –> 00:16:01,260
I thought you had to do a national search and shit,

478
00:16:01,260 –> 00:16:01,500
right?

479
00:16:02,220 –> 00:16:03,340
I don’t know how.

480
00:16:04,260 –> 00:16:06,100
What was that pinhead that was running Health and Human

481
00:16:06,100 –> 00:16:08,140
Services in Michigan during COVID?

482
00:16:08,140 –> 00:16:08,740
Robert Gordon,

483
00:16:09,340 –> 00:16:13,260
how did you get a lecturing job at Michigan Law and

484
00:16:13,260 –> 00:16:16,620
then your deputy who also left is like an assistant

485
00:16:16,620 –> 00:16:18,300
professor or something at Michigan Law?

486
00:16:18,380 –> 00:16:19,420
It’s a swamp.

487
00:16:20,460 –> 00:16:21,380
It’s a fucking swamp.

488
00:16:22,300 –> 00:16:24,460
But here’s Professor McQuaid at the time when she was

489
00:16:24,500 –> 00:16:25,180
US Attorney.

490
00:16:25,260 –> 00:16:25,980
She said, quote,

491
00:16:26,220 –> 00:16:29,460
we have made mortgage fraud a priority in this district,

492
00:16:29,980 –> 00:16:31,260
which includes Ann Arbor.

493
00:16:33,380 –> 00:16:36,300
because of the harm this crime causes to our housing

494
00:16:36,300 –> 00:16:37,660
markets in the aggregate.

495
00:16:37,820 –> 00:16:40,260
Homeowners who play by the rules should know that those

496
00:16:40,260 –> 00:16:42,220
who don’t will be held accountable,

497
00:16:42,300 –> 00:16:43,660
no matter who they are.

498
00:16:43,980 –> 00:16:44,940
I agree.

499
00:16:45,100 –> 00:16:46,140
Those are fine words.

500
00:16:46,940 –> 00:16:47,900
Now use them.

501
00:16:48,780 –> 00:16:49,300
Man, okay,

502
00:16:49,300 –> 00:16:52,780
so let me tell you about former Supreme Court Justice

503
00:16:52,860 –> 00:16:53,980
Diane Hathaway.

504
00:16:55,820 –> 00:16:58,140
She used to teach real estate law,

505
00:16:58,220 –> 00:16:58,860
all right?

506
00:16:59,180 –> 00:17:00,140
She’s on the Supreme Court.

507
00:17:00,700 –> 00:17:01,580
She’s got a housing,

508
00:17:01,740 –> 00:17:02,300
this was,

509
00:17:02,980 –> 00:17:05,260
2011, everything had collapsed,

510
00:17:05,260 –> 00:17:05,460
right?

511
00:17:05,460 –> 00:17:08,940
So she’s got a state in Florida and she’s got not one,

512
00:17:08,940 –> 00:17:11,420
but two homes in Grosse Pointe Park.

513
00:17:11,940 –> 00:17:13,260
I mean, it’s doing pretty good,

514
00:17:13,340 –> 00:17:14,340
but the bottom fell out,

515
00:17:14,340 –> 00:17:14,780
didn’t it?

516
00:17:15,180 –> 00:17:18,380
And the judge didn’t want it to pay mortgages underwater

517
00:17:18,380 –> 00:17:18,940
there a little bit.

518
00:17:19,180 –> 00:17:22,780
So she took the Florida property and put it under her

519
00:17:22,780 –> 00:17:23,580
stepdaughter’s name.

520
00:17:24,700 –> 00:17:28,940
She took a Grosse Pointe Park residence and put it

521
00:17:28,940 –> 00:17:29,340
under

522
00:17:30,380 –> 00:17:32,140
I think stepson’s name,

523
00:17:32,220 –> 00:17:32,540
right?

524
00:17:33,500 –> 00:17:34,900
And then went to the bank and said,

525
00:17:34,900 –> 00:17:36,220
hey man, this house,

526
00:17:36,420 –> 00:17:36,900
I’m broke.

527
00:17:36,900 –> 00:17:38,060
I don’t got any assets.

528
00:17:38,460 –> 00:17:39,260
You got to take it back.

529
00:17:39,260 –> 00:17:40,220
I’m going to short sell it,

530
00:17:40,220 –> 00:17:42,780
which means I’ll sell it back to you for less than

531
00:17:42,780 –> 00:17:45,020
what you loan me because I’m just underwater here.

532
00:17:45,540 –> 00:17:46,140
And they did it.

533
00:17:46,380 –> 00:17:51,180
And then the children reassigned the property to her

534
00:17:51,180 –> 00:17:51,660
for $10 each.

535
00:17:52,220 –> 00:17:54,540
So I’m at her house doing this story,

536
00:17:55,340 –> 00:17:56,220
knocking on a door.

537
00:17:57,500 –> 00:17:59,580
I go to the recycle bin.

538
00:18:00,860 –> 00:18:00,980
Right.

539
00:18:00,980 –> 00:18:02,900
And I get in the recycle bin because we’re filming

540
00:18:03,380 –> 00:18:03,460
it.

541
00:18:03,620 –> 00:18:04,140
And I go.

542
00:18:08,700 –> 00:18:09,500
Lid pops open.

543
00:18:10,580 –> 00:18:12,980
What’s Supreme Court Justice Diane Hathaway doing in

544
00:18:12,980 –> 00:18:15,500
this swanky Grosse Pointe Park house?

545
00:18:16,380 –> 00:18:18,780
Go to the other house and pop out of that can when

546
00:18:18,940 –> 00:18:21,060
she lives in this swanky Grosse Pointe Park house.

547
00:18:21,980 –> 00:18:22,860
So she went away.

548
00:18:24,180 –> 00:18:25,020
Then her daughter,

549
00:18:25,500 –> 00:18:26,540
Dana Hathaway,

550
00:18:26,860 –> 00:18:29,020
is going to run for circuit court judge in Wayne County.

551
00:18:29,180 –> 00:18:30,860
But she lives in Birmingham,

552
00:18:30,860 –> 00:18:31,900
Oakland County.

553
00:18:32,140 –> 00:18:34,620
So I’m in City Hall in Birmingham,

554
00:18:35,740 –> 00:18:38,940
filming the real estate records.

555
00:18:39,500 –> 00:18:42,140
And I look up across the counter,

556
00:18:43,780 –> 00:18:45,460
and there’s Dana Hathaway and her husband trying to

557
00:18:45,460 –> 00:18:46,860
change the address on the papers.

558
00:18:46,860 –> 00:18:48,380
It’s not my primary resident.

559
00:18:50,340 –> 00:18:50,940
And then there’s

560
00:18:51,660 –> 00:18:52,700
Silentia Miller,

561
00:18:52,700 –> 00:18:56,540
the district court judge who never showed up to work,

562
00:18:56,780 –> 00:18:59,100
leaving all of us regular people sitting there paying

563
00:18:59,100 –> 00:19:00,700
lawyers because the judge won’t show up,

564
00:19:01,420 –> 00:19:03,180
staking out her house where she at.

565
00:19:03,900 –> 00:19:07,580
She went to Grosse Pointe to food shop order in the

566
00:19:07,700 –> 00:19:08,380
food court.

567
00:19:08,860 –> 00:19:09,900
Want to know the crime?

568
00:19:10,700 –> 00:19:11,540
Want to know the crime?

569
00:19:11,540 –> 00:19:13,220
A little crummy melon going for $5.

570
00:19:13,220 –> 00:19:14,540
That was the crime.

571
00:19:16,060 –> 00:19:17,540
So she got censured.

572
00:19:17,540 –> 00:19:18,220
You know what I mean?

573
00:19:21,620 –> 00:19:22,300
What do we got now?

574
00:19:22,300 –> 00:19:23,580
We got a guy running for mayor,

575
00:19:23,580 –> 00:19:26,900
like megachurch pastor Solomon Kinloch.

576
00:19:26,900 –> 00:19:29,820
He’s got a house way up there in the burbs,

577
00:19:30,060 –> 00:19:31,340
way up there in the burbs.

578
00:19:31,420 –> 00:19:33,340
You pretend you’re living in a flop house in Detroit.

579
00:19:33,500 –> 00:19:35,740
So no, Mike Duggan,

580
00:19:35,820 –> 00:19:36,700
same deal.

581
00:19:37,020 –> 00:19:38,300
You didn’t live in Detroit.

582
00:19:39,020 –> 00:19:41,260
You moved here temporarily to run for mayor.

583
00:19:41,260 –> 00:19:41,660
You win.

584
00:19:41,660 –> 00:19:43,940
You bought the house for $200,000.

585
00:19:43,940 –> 00:19:45,180
A year later,

586
00:19:45,220 –> 00:19:45,820
you sell it for $400,000.

587
00:19:47,180 –> 00:19:47,900
Dave Bing.

588
00:19:48,540 –> 00:19:49,580
Mayor Dave Bing.

589
00:19:50,020 –> 00:19:51,340
Way out there in Franklin.

590
00:19:51,580 –> 00:19:52,460
Not going to do a maneu.

591
00:19:52,540 –> 00:19:53,740
Ain’t nobody there.

592
00:19:55,580 –> 00:19:57,660
Fire Commissioner Fred Wheeler and his brother.

593
00:19:58,220 –> 00:19:59,940
Oh, we live in the University District.

594
00:19:59,940 –> 00:20:01,580
What are you doing out there in Ann Arbor?

595
00:20:03,420 –> 00:20:04,820
Way out on the mud road.

596
00:20:04,820 –> 00:20:05,660
I got stuck.

597
00:20:05,660 –> 00:20:06,460
It was cold.

598
00:20:06,860 –> 00:20:07,580
Hey, Fred.

599
00:20:09,100 –> 00:20:09,820
So no, no,

600
00:20:09,820 –> 00:20:10,580
no, no, no,

601
00:20:11,020 –> 00:20:11,820
no, no, no.

602
00:20:11,820 –> 00:20:12,940
No, we expect better.

603
00:20:14,780 –> 00:20:16,260
How much time did Hathaway,

604
00:20:16,260 –> 00:20:18,140
I mean, she wasn’t even put away,

605
00:20:18,140 –> 00:20:21,140
her penalty seemed like a slap on the wrist too for

606
00:20:21,140 –> 00:20:21,980
all that fraud.

607
00:20:22,140 –> 00:20:25,660
So not only do they constantly seems to be committing

608
00:20:25,660 –> 00:20:26,220
a lot of fraud,

609
00:20:26,220 –> 00:20:27,980
but then there’s no penalty for it.

610
00:20:28,380 –> 00:20:29,660
Yeah, when you get the year and the day,

611
00:20:29,660 –> 00:20:30,500
you get good time.

612
00:20:30,500 –> 00:20:32,460
So you get two months off of that and then you’re just

613
00:20:32,460 –> 00:20:33,500
in a camp.

614
00:20:33,580 –> 00:20:33,700
Yeah.

615
00:20:34,300 –> 00:20:35,740
That’s the Supreme Court judge.

616
00:20:35,900 –> 00:20:37,620
This, it’s so rigged.

617
00:20:37,860 –> 00:20:38,540
That’s who you know.

618
00:20:39,140 –> 00:20:39,540
what I mean?

619
00:20:39,540 –> 00:20:40,620
I just wake up and I’m just.

620
00:20:41,820 –> 00:20:42,620
Devastated.

621
00:20:42,700 –> 00:20:44,780
It’s an empty feeling.

622
00:20:46,060 –> 00:20:48,460
Well, and you would think people that want to represent

623
00:20:48,620 –> 00:20:50,460
Detroit would actually live in Detroit.

624
00:20:52,780 –> 00:20:54,940
Why do we have so many people from outside of Detroit

625
00:20:55,020 –> 00:20:57,580
that want to move in and take office here?

626
00:20:58,460 –> 00:20:59,420
To loot it?

627
00:20:59,500 –> 00:21:01,340
Well, what else is the motivation?

628
00:21:02,860 –> 00:21:03,300
Okay, well,

629
00:21:03,300 –> 00:21:03,980
here’s one for you.

630
00:21:03,980 –> 00:21:07,820
I mean, I don’t know which way I should go with this,

631
00:21:07,980 –> 00:21:10,060
but I’m going to stick with

632
00:21:10,639 –> 00:21:12,479
Just remind me about Detroit.

633
00:21:12,639 –> 00:21:14,039
But here, dude,

634
00:21:14,039 –> 00:21:15,999
you got to release your tax forms.

635
00:21:16,079 –> 00:21:17,599
You too, you have to,

636
00:21:17,679 –> 00:21:20,879
because that house way out there,

637
00:21:20,959 –> 00:21:22,719
way, it was closer to Flint than Detroit.

638
00:21:24,399 –> 00:21:24,959
Your church,

639
00:21:24,959 –> 00:21:25,679
Triumph Church,

640
00:21:26,399 –> 00:21:30,559
it bought that house for $850,000 in 2013 and they

641
00:21:30,559 –> 00:21:34,319
put about 650,000 in mortgage financing.

642
00:21:34,319 –> 00:21:35,679
So it was 200 grand down,

643
00:21:35,679 –> 00:21:36,399
put down on this.

644
00:21:37,359 –> 00:21:39,439
A year and Kinloch moves in.

645
00:21:39,959 –> 00:21:40,919
I don’t know if he’s paying rent,

646
00:21:40,919 –> 00:21:42,079
what he’s doing to,

647
00:21:42,239 –> 00:21:43,279
his own church.

648
00:21:44,079 –> 00:21:45,519
Then the next year,

649
00:21:45,879 –> 00:21:46,799
like 10 months later,

650
00:21:47,199 –> 00:21:51,039
he buys it from the church for $850,000 and puts down

651
00:21:51,159 –> 00:21:52,679
and gets a mortgage for $650,000.

652
00:21:52,679 –> 00:21:57,359
It’s weird because that means there’s $200,000 cash

653
00:21:57,359 –> 00:22:00,399
moving, which would be enough to finance a home.

654
00:22:00,399 –> 00:22:01,159
That’s enough down,

655
00:22:01,159 –> 00:22:01,519
right?

656
00:22:01,519 –> 00:22:02,879
It’s 25% down at least.

657
00:22:04,159 –> 00:22:04,559
So really,

658
00:22:04,759 –> 00:22:05,639
what happened?

659
00:22:05,879 –> 00:22:08,319
and if he got that 200 credit,

660
00:22:08,639 –> 00:22:10,079
that’s 200 in income.

661
00:22:11,759 –> 00:22:12,559
Tax filings.

662
00:22:12,639 –> 00:22:14,399
Did the church give you a raise?

663
00:22:14,719 –> 00:22:15,319
Why couldn’t,

664
00:22:15,439 –> 00:22:21,279
what kind of grown man is having his place of employment

665
00:22:21,279 –> 00:22:23,599
buy him, buy a house,

666
00:22:23,759 –> 00:22:24,359
put him in it,

667
00:22:24,359 –> 00:22:25,439
and then he

668
00:22:26,079 –> 00:22:27,919
buys it from them for the same exact amount?

669
00:22:28,079 –> 00:22:30,679
Because property in 14 was starting to appreciate again

670
00:22:30,679 –> 00:22:32,079
because interest rates were so low,

671
00:22:32,079 –> 00:22:32,319
right?

672
00:22:32,559 –> 00:22:34,039
Trying to get the housing market going.

673
00:22:34,239 –> 00:22:36,079
So it’s a really huge question.

674
00:22:36,879 –> 00:22:38,399
Well, the two benefits would be what,

675
00:22:38,759 –> 00:22:40,879
avoiding some kind of income tax or I mean,

676
00:22:40,879 –> 00:22:41,679
I’m not saying it’s not.

677
00:22:41,679 –> 00:22:42,319
We don’t know.

678
00:22:42,319 –> 00:22:43,119
No, but I mean,

679
00:22:43,119 –> 00:22:44,959
that would be one of the reasons.

680
00:22:44,959 –> 00:22:45,679
The other reasons,

681
00:22:46,319 –> 00:22:46,959
and I don’t know,

682
00:22:46,959 –> 00:22:48,839
but you move equal amounts of money,

683
00:22:48,839 –> 00:22:49,759
it’s, you know,

684
00:22:49,919 –> 00:22:50,319
to clean it.

685
00:22:50,559 –> 00:22:51,639
It’s really weird,

686
00:22:51,639 –> 00:22:51,959
right?

687
00:22:51,959 –> 00:22:54,799
And if you’re a financial risk,

688
00:22:55,999 –> 00:22:57,439
The amount of money down is going to be greater.

689
00:22:57,439 –> 00:22:58,799
Your interest rate is going to be greater.

690
00:22:58,799 –> 00:23:01,919
So like, I just never heard of that.

691
00:23:01,919 –> 00:23:02,759
So there’s something.

692
00:23:02,799 –> 00:23:04,319
Or he’s avoiding fees.

693
00:23:05,519 –> 00:23:06,399
Whatever it is,

694
00:23:06,399 –> 00:23:07,599
like release your tax payment.

695
00:23:07,599 –> 00:23:08,719
You want to be the mayor.

696
00:23:08,799 –> 00:23:09,359
Show us.

697
00:23:09,439 –> 00:23:12,719
Because the way that you came to be a resident here

698
00:23:12,719 –> 00:23:14,159
is so,

699
00:23:14,879 –> 00:23:15,679
Scummy.

700
00:23:16,399 –> 00:23:17,599
Like, you know what I’m saying?

701
00:23:17,599 –> 00:23:20,839
Like this isn’t a put down on his flock or anything

702
00:23:20,839 –> 00:23:21,239
like that.

703
00:23:21,239 –> 00:23:22,559
This is just money,

704
00:23:22,639 –> 00:23:23,439
how it works,

705
00:23:23,519 –> 00:23:24,639
who represents us,

706
00:23:24,879 –> 00:23:27,119
and you got your fingers in the public pot.

707
00:23:27,599 –> 00:23:28,159
Remember too,

708
00:23:28,159 –> 00:23:29,039
most of his flock,

709
00:23:29,039 –> 00:23:29,519
it seems,

710
00:23:29,839 –> 00:23:32,079
aren’t, they come to Detroit to worship,

711
00:23:32,399 –> 00:23:34,079
but I don’t know if they actually live here.

712
00:23:34,639 –> 00:23:34,919
Yeah.

713
00:23:35,119 –> 00:23:35,439
You know.

714
00:23:36,079 –> 00:23:36,879
Bob Ficano,

715
00:23:36,879 –> 00:23:38,119
Wayne County Executive.

716
00:23:38,519 –> 00:23:40,879
Hey Bob, your mom’s dead.

717
00:23:40,879 –> 00:23:41,279
Why are you?

718
00:23:43,039 –> 00:23:45,919
Why are you paying the same rate when it went to you?

719
00:23:45,919 –> 00:23:47,439
The value is supposed to go up.

720
00:23:47,439 –> 00:23:48,479
Oh, here’s a quick claim to eat.

721
00:23:48,879 –> 00:23:49,399
All of a sudden,

722
00:23:49,399 –> 00:23:49,919
you know what I mean?

723
00:23:49,919 –> 00:23:52,319
Like, he let me into his house too.

724
00:23:52,799 –> 00:23:53,119
Yeah.

725
00:23:53,439 –> 00:23:56,319
Because we were camped out,

726
00:23:56,319 –> 00:23:56,519
you know,

727
00:23:56,519 –> 00:23:57,919
parked there waiting for him to get home.

728
00:23:58,159 –> 00:23:58,599
And he goes,

729
00:23:58,799 –> 00:23:59,759
oh, Charlie.

730
00:24:00,639 –> 00:24:01,799
Oh, Charlie.

731
00:24:01,799 –> 00:24:02,559
I’m like, Bob,

732
00:24:02,959 –> 00:24:04,239
Bob, mow the lawn.

733
00:24:04,239 –> 00:24:05,439
The neighbor’s got to be mad,

734
00:24:05,439 –> 00:24:06,239
Bob, right?

735
00:24:06,239 –> 00:24:07,279
You got to mow the lawn.

736
00:24:07,999 –> 00:24:08,559
He goes in,

737
00:24:08,559 –> 00:24:09,279
he comes out,

738
00:24:09,359 –> 00:24:10,159
and it’s like,

739
00:24:10,159 –> 00:24:12,959
it’s sort of like the sheepdog and the coyote,

740
00:24:13,919 –> 00:24:14,919
it’s 5:00,

741
00:24:15,119 –> 00:24:16,399
we punched out and he’s like,

742
00:24:16,719 –> 00:24:17,599
you want to come in?

743
00:24:18,879 –> 00:24:21,839
I think as much as he shuddered every time he saw you,

744
00:24:21,839 –> 00:24:22,959
I think he liked you.

745
00:24:22,959 –> 00:24:24,199
I think you guys got along.

746
00:24:24,959 –> 00:24:26,239
We just died from pneumonia,

747
00:24:26,239 –> 00:24:27,039
you know what I mean?

748
00:24:27,359 –> 00:24:28,199
You want to come in?

749
00:24:28,199 –> 00:24:28,719
And I’m like,

750
00:24:30,119 –> 00:24:30,639
Charlie.

751
00:24:30,799 –> 00:24:32,479
Yeah, I want to come in.

752
00:24:32,519 –> 00:24:33,439
And it was like,

753
00:24:34,479 –> 00:24:35,599
It didn’t look like he lived there.

754
00:24:35,839 –> 00:24:36,479
You know what I mean?

755
00:24:36,479 –> 00:24:36,959
It was like,

756
00:24:37,039 –> 00:24:38,959
it’s like a sad bachelor pad.

757
00:24:39,439 –> 00:24:42,039
And he’s got two beers in the fridge,

758
00:24:42,039 –> 00:24:43,919
one’s non-alcoholic and one’s gluten-free.

759
00:24:43,919 –> 00:24:44,319
And I’m like,

760
00:24:44,719 –> 00:24:45,279
well, okay,

761
00:24:45,279 –> 00:24:46,479
I’ll have it.

762
00:24:47,439 –> 00:24:48,039
It was cool.

763
00:24:48,039 –> 00:24:48,919
Which one did you take?

764
00:24:49,519 –> 00:24:50,999
I took the gluten-free one.

765
00:24:50,999 –> 00:24:54,199
And then I had to go to the bathroom and like there

766
00:24:54,199 –> 00:24:56,479
was pubes all over the rim.

767
00:24:56,479 –> 00:24:56,959
And I’m like,

768
00:24:57,119 –> 00:24:57,479
oh, whatever.

769
00:24:57,759 –> 00:25:00,119
Why are those gluten-free as a laxative?

770
00:25:00,919 –> 00:25:01,839
Those are the executives’

771
00:25:01,839 –> 00:25:02,319
pubes.

772
00:25:03,359 –> 00:25:05,119
I’m going to take one for DNA purposes.

773
00:25:08,039 –> 00:25:09,599
Give it to my private dick.

774
00:25:15,439 –> 00:25:16,319
So this one,

775
00:25:16,559 –> 00:25:18,159
Ken’s in the room today.

776
00:25:18,399 –> 00:25:22,159
This one was this Ann Arbor one with this cook lady.

777
00:25:22,159 –> 00:25:23,439
It was, you know,

778
00:25:23,519 –> 00:25:24,279
I know how we did that.

779
00:25:24,879 –> 00:25:25,319
We actually,

780
00:25:25,319 –> 00:25:25,919
we did work.

781
00:25:25,919 –> 00:25:27,199
So we’re driving.

782
00:25:27,199 –> 00:25:28,199
It’s Jackson Avenue.

783
00:25:28,199 –> 00:25:28,559
It’s like,

784
00:25:29,119 –> 00:25:29,639
he’s driving.

785
00:25:29,639 –> 00:25:30,319
He’s going to pull.

786
00:25:30,479 –> 00:25:31,599
Yeah, really busy St.

787
00:25:31,999 –> 00:25:32,399
And

788
00:25:32,959 –> 00:25:34,159
He’s going to pull in.

789
00:25:34,159 –> 00:25:35,119
He’s just going to pull right up.

790
00:25:35,119 –> 00:25:35,439
And I’m like,

791
00:25:35,439 –> 00:25:38,799
no, Let’s just see what we’re dealing with here.

792
00:25:39,359 –> 00:25:40,479
So we go around the block.

793
00:25:40,799 –> 00:25:41,759
I’m like, one more time.

794
00:25:42,559 –> 00:25:43,919
And we go drive by slow.

795
00:25:43,999 –> 00:25:46,599
And there’s the white man at the dining table.

796
00:25:46,719 –> 00:25:47,999
I’m like, what?

797
00:25:48,639 –> 00:25:51,359
Wait, they can’t be relatives.

798
00:25:51,359 –> 00:25:52,719
I mean, she’s a single black woman.

799
00:25:52,719 –> 00:25:53,519
I mean, maybe,

800
00:25:53,519 –> 00:25:53,759
you know,

801
00:25:53,759 –> 00:25:54,879
I mean, I got such a family,

802
00:25:54,879 –> 00:25:55,439
but I’m like,

803
00:25:55,679 –> 00:25:56,319
unlikely.

804
00:25:56,319 –> 00:25:58,159
I go one more time,

805
00:25:58,159 –> 00:25:58,879
Ken, one more time.

806
00:25:58,959 –> 00:26:00,639
Maybe come out and pull some weeds,

807
00:26:00,639 –> 00:26:00,879
you know,

808
00:26:00,879 –> 00:26:01,599
and then we can just.

809
00:26:01,999 –> 00:26:02,679
casually talk.

810
00:26:03,679 –> 00:26:04,639
Then the fourth time it’s like,

811
00:26:04,679 –> 00:26:08,279
okay, what if we pull across the street there?

812
00:26:08,279 –> 00:26:09,679
There’s a copse of trees.

813
00:26:09,999 –> 00:26:12,159
So we pull into the copse trees and we’re looking at,

814
00:26:12,239 –> 00:26:13,679
like, what’s the best way to approach this?

815
00:26:13,679 –> 00:26:14,879
You know, we just want an answer.

816
00:26:15,119 –> 00:26:16,959
We don’t want to shock anybody.

817
00:26:16,959 –> 00:26:17,199
We’re not,

818
00:26:17,319 –> 00:26:20,159
we’re not here to invade privacy.

819
00:26:20,159 –> 00:26:21,919
We just, the world wants to know.

820
00:26:22,159 –> 00:26:24,199
This woman’s job,

821
00:26:24,199 –> 00:26:25,519
whether she keeps her or not,

822
00:26:25,679 –> 00:26:26,319
could be

823
00:26:26,719 –> 00:26:29,599
a swing of $600 billion a year in interest payments,

824
00:26:29,919 –> 00:26:31,079
if rates get lowered,

825
00:26:31,079 –> 00:26:33,439
if Trump gains control of the board.

826
00:26:34,559 –> 00:26:36,039
So we’re looking and Ken’s like,

827
00:26:36,039 –> 00:26:36,959
let me see,

828
00:26:36,959 –> 00:26:37,359
let me see,

829
00:26:37,439 –> 00:26:39,039
let me see if I can get the angle here.

830
00:26:39,039 –> 00:26:40,239
And he takes out these great big.

831
00:26:41,119 –> 00:26:42,159
set of tripods,

832
00:26:42,319 –> 00:26:42,639
right?

833
00:26:42,679 –> 00:26:43,679
I’m like, what are you doing?

834
00:26:43,679 –> 00:26:43,999
He’s like,

835
00:26:44,359 –> 00:26:46,119
he’s walking around like it’s a movie set.

836
00:26:46,119 –> 00:26:47,919
I’m like, why are we behind the trees,

837
00:26:47,919 –> 00:26:48,159
Ken?

838
00:26:48,159 –> 00:26:48,799
If you’re going to do,

839
00:26:49,119 –> 00:26:49,439
you know,

840
00:26:49,439 –> 00:26:51,279
he’s got the hatch open and I’m like,

841
00:26:51,359 –> 00:26:52,719
why are you doing jumping jacks?

842
00:26:53,199 –> 00:26:53,679
You know, I mean,

843
00:26:53,679 –> 00:26:55,279
we could have pulled up in a Fox 2 truck.

844
00:26:55,279 –> 00:26:56,679
What the fuck are you doing?

845
00:26:56,679 –> 00:26:57,759
He goes, okay,

846
00:26:57,999 –> 00:26:58,799
I go, he goes,

847
00:26:58,799 –> 00:26:59,839
I’ll get the little camera.

848
00:27:01,079 –> 00:27:02,799
I think I can get the shot.

849
00:27:02,799 –> 00:27:04,879
I go, what about the wireless mic?

850
00:27:05,319 –> 00:27:07,039
How far is the distance where you can receive it?

851
00:27:07,199 –> 00:27:07,919
He goes, okay,

852
00:27:07,919 –> 00:27:09,679
walk that way and just keep talking and I’ll tell

853
00:27:09,679 –> 00:27:09,839
you.

854
00:27:09,999 –> 00:27:10,639
So I walk,

855
00:27:10,679 –> 00:27:12,799
I walk about 150 feet and he goes,

856
00:27:12,799 –> 00:27:13,439
okay, that’s it.

857
00:27:13,799 –> 00:27:14,199
And I’m like,

858
00:27:14,799 –> 00:27:17,119
well, I don’t know if that is 150 feet,

859
00:27:17,319 –> 00:27:17,599
right?

860
00:27:17,599 –> 00:27:20,959
So I go, I’m just going to walk down a street,

861
00:27:20,959 –> 00:27:21,599
cross the street,

862
00:27:21,599 –> 00:27:24,359
walk by, and I’ll talk to you when I’m directly across

863
00:27:24,359 –> 00:27:25,039
the street from you.

864
00:27:25,759 –> 00:27:27,679
And this Asian kid,

865
00:27:27,999 –> 00:27:29,919
student, is walking and I

866
00:27:31,119 –> 00:27:32,199
I wait for him to get even with me,

867
00:27:32,199 –> 00:27:34,599
and then I run across busy Jackson Avenue in fucking

868
00:27:34,599 –> 00:27:35,199
traffic, right?

869
00:27:35,399 –> 00:27:36,319
And I get in behind him,

870
00:27:36,319 –> 00:27:38,079
so we’re looking like buddies just going for a walk,

871
00:27:38,639 –> 00:27:40,159
and I’m talking into the mic going,

872
00:27:40,479 –> 00:27:41,199
yeah, can you hear me?

873
00:27:41,199 –> 00:27:41,679
Can you hear me?

874
00:27:41,879 –> 00:27:44,799
And the agent keeps looking like I’m some kind of FBI

875
00:27:44,799 –> 00:27:45,239
agent.

876
00:27:45,279 –> 00:27:47,039
He’s a member of the Communist Party,

877
00:27:47,039 –> 00:27:48,039
and I’m tailing his ass.

878
00:27:50,559 –> 00:27:51,719
And then Ken’s in the tree’s going,

879
00:27:51,919 –> 00:27:52,559
I got it.

880
00:27:52,839 –> 00:27:53,119
I got it.

881
00:27:54,879 –> 00:27:55,879
So we go back and I’m like,

882
00:27:56,119 –> 00:27:57,359
okay, this is fucking ridiculous.

883
00:27:57,359 –> 00:27:58,639
He goes, let’s just knock on the door.

884
00:27:58,639 –> 00:27:59,039
I go, well,

885
00:27:59,039 –> 00:28:00,799
if two guys knock on the door,

886
00:28:01,359 –> 00:28:02,879
then you look like FBI again,

887
00:28:02,919 –> 00:28:03,079
right?

888
00:28:03,439 –> 00:28:04,919
He goes, well,

889
00:28:04,919 –> 00:28:07,399
I could stand in front of that tree in front of the

890
00:28:07,399 –> 00:28:07,519
house.

891
00:28:07,519 –> 00:28:08,919
I go, there’s two trees in front of the house.

892
00:28:08,919 –> 00:28:09,879
Which tree do you want us?

893
00:28:09,999 –> 00:28:10,319
He goes, well,

894
00:28:10,319 –> 00:28:10,879
go look.

895
00:28:11,599 –> 00:28:12,319
So I go, well,

896
00:28:12,319 –> 00:28:14,959
why don’t you go pick a tree and I’ll wait back here

897
00:28:15,359 –> 00:28:17,359
and then I’ll walk into frame and go knock on the

898
00:28:17,359 –> 00:28:17,759
door.

899
00:28:18,479 –> 00:28:21,839
So Ken picks a tree and I go,

900
00:28:21,999 –> 00:28:22,479
ready?

901
00:28:22,959 –> 00:28:23,919
He goes, what?

902
00:28:24,239 –> 00:28:25,079
I can’t hear you.

903
00:28:25,079 –> 00:28:26,719
He’s standing in front of the guy.

904
00:28:26,719 –> 00:28:26,999
What?

905
00:28:27,079 –> 00:28:27,319
We’re like,

906
00:28:27,319 –> 00:28:27,919
we’re trying to be,

907
00:28:27,919 –> 00:28:28,239
you know,

908
00:28:28,239 –> 00:28:29,199
real calm and quiet.

909
00:28:29,279 –> 00:28:30,559
Well, I can’t hear you.

910
00:28:30,719 –> 00:28:32,559
I’m like, can you hear me?

911
00:28:32,559 –> 00:28:33,359
Are you ready?

912
00:28:38,479 –> 00:28:39,279
I do want to say,

913
00:28:39,439 –> 00:28:40,399
growing up in Ann Arbor,

914
00:28:40,399 –> 00:28:42,479
I’ve seen plenty of single people on the sidewalk

915
00:28:42,479 –> 00:28:43,759
just yelling to themselves.

916
00:28:43,759 –> 00:28:45,599
So it’s not that out of the ordinary.

917
00:28:45,599 –> 00:28:45,759
Yeah.

918
00:28:46,159 –> 00:28:48,559
Oh, and you remember that old lady who was power walking?

919
00:28:48,639 –> 00:28:51,919
Oh, dude, it was like Skeletor with a mop on her head.

920
00:28:51,919 –> 00:28:54,719
It was like,

921
00:28:55,119 –> 00:28:56,119
I love that city.

922
00:28:56,359 –> 00:28:56,839
It’s so weird.

923
00:28:57,119 –> 00:28:57,839
Oh my God.

924
00:28:58,719 –> 00:28:59,839
It’s got to freak him out.

925
00:29:03,919 –> 00:29:05,239
Yeah, she looked like she was cross-country.

926
00:29:05,239 –> 00:29:06,959
Good thing that Asian kid showed up first,

927
00:29:07,279 –> 00:29:07,999
keeping up with her.

928
00:29:10,719 –> 00:29:13,679
No, this one and I would have been behind her going.

929
00:29:13,679 –> 00:29:17,479
It’d be normal in Ann Arbor.

930
00:29:17,759 –> 00:29:20,959
So I start walking in Ken’s film.

931
00:29:20,959 –> 00:29:22,159
I’m like, what are you doing?

932
00:29:22,639 –> 00:29:24,199
Hold it there so I can be in frame.

933
00:29:24,199 –> 00:29:25,039
So he does.

934
00:29:25,599 –> 00:29:27,039
And I go up to the door and I knock.

935
00:29:28,119 –> 00:29:29,679
And it dawns on me after I knock.

936
00:29:30,239 –> 00:29:34,879
This was the most obvious story for any media organization

937
00:29:34,879 –> 00:29:35,599
anywhere.

938
00:29:35,919 –> 00:29:36,799
This is Michigan,

939
00:29:37,119 –> 00:29:39,839
same in Atlanta or Massachusetts.

940
00:29:39,919 –> 00:29:40,959
Well, are people,

941
00:29:41,119 –> 00:29:41,319
you know,

942
00:29:41,359 –> 00:29:43,439
do you have proof that it’s being rented or is there,

943
00:29:43,519 –> 00:29:45,439
can you up the ante here?

944
00:29:45,599 –> 00:29:49,439
So I knock on the door and I look and I know nobody

945
00:29:49,439 –> 00:29:51,959
had because the only knuckle marks were mine.

946
00:29:51,959 –> 00:29:53,079
The door was really filled.

947
00:29:53,079 –> 00:29:53,839
It’s a busy Rd.

948
00:29:53,839 –> 00:29:54,599
It hadn’t been cleaned.

949
00:29:54,719 –> 00:29:55,799
You can tell even from the video.

950
00:29:55,999 –> 00:29:56,279
Yeah.

951
00:29:57,279 –> 00:29:57,679
So.

952
00:29:58,559 –> 00:29:59,599
That’s how that came to be.

953
00:29:59,799 –> 00:30:00,999
the guy was decent.

954
00:30:01,599 –> 00:30:02,159
Doing the work.

955
00:30:02,319 –> 00:30:03,679
Yep, just simple.

956
00:30:03,679 –> 00:30:04,159
So, I mean,

957
00:30:05,159 –> 00:30:08,399
it took us an hour to film 30 seconds.

958
00:30:08,639 –> 00:30:11,279
Well, think about all these national reporters rushing

959
00:30:11,279 –> 00:30:14,799
to defend Lisa Cook and how few of them took the time

960
00:30:14,799 –> 00:30:17,359
to go verify if the things she’s accused of,

961
00:30:17,359 –> 00:30:18,599
she’s actually done.

962
00:30:19,039 –> 00:30:19,919
Is that what’s going on?

963
00:30:19,959 –> 00:30:20,879
Because I don’t really.

964
00:30:20,879 –> 00:30:22,239
That’s debate is,

965
00:30:22,239 –> 00:30:22,479
you know,

966
00:30:22,479 –> 00:30:23,999
the legitimacy of the firing.

967
00:30:24,719 –> 00:30:27,639
But, and I’m not weighing in one way or the other on

968
00:30:27,639 –> 00:30:31,519
that, but the underlying accusation of claiming multiple

969
00:30:31,519 –> 00:30:33,719
residents as your primary residence and committing

970
00:30:33,719 –> 00:30:34,359
mortgage fraud,

971
00:30:34,359 –> 00:30:36,479
which is insurance fraud and a lot of other frauds,

972
00:30:36,479 –> 00:30:37,039
tax fraud,

973
00:30:37,359 –> 00:30:38,919
depending on what she did with the revenue.

974
00:30:39,279 –> 00:30:40,879
No reporters are doing the work on that.

975
00:30:41,079 –> 00:30:43,239
And you’re absolutely correct about that.

976
00:30:43,239 –> 00:30:45,039
Like, whatever you think,

977
00:30:45,039 –> 00:30:47,519
does Trump have the power to remove her?

978
00:30:47,679 –> 00:30:48,919
We’ll let the courts decide that.

979
00:30:49,199 –> 00:30:51,079
I just figure that people should know what they’re

980
00:30:51,079 –> 00:30:51,559
dealing with.

981
00:30:51,759 –> 00:30:54,599
Like, I take no position because I’m not a constitutional

982
00:30:55,199 –> 00:30:59,519
Although it does seem odd that the Fed is a congressional

983
00:30:59,519 –> 00:31:01,999
creation and there’s no oversight.

984
00:31:02,639 –> 00:31:04,639
Does Congress have the power to remove?

985
00:31:05,399 –> 00:31:06,359
Can they be impeached?

986
00:31:06,359 –> 00:31:07,199
Do we know any of this?

987
00:31:07,439 –> 00:31:08,039
I don’t.

988
00:31:08,039 –> 00:31:08,639
Yeah, I don’t know.

989
00:31:08,879 –> 00:31:10,719
It’s really not my bailiwick,

990
00:31:10,719 –> 00:31:11,999
so I’ll stay out of it,

991
00:31:11,999 –> 00:31:12,319
but…

992
00:31:12,719 –> 00:31:13,839
Well, regardless of that,

993
00:31:13,839 –> 00:31:16,719
can you at least maybe bring her up on fraud charges?

994
00:31:17,039 –> 00:31:17,679
Well, and by the way,

995
00:31:18,159 –> 00:31:19,279
they could be impeached.

996
00:31:19,279 –> 00:31:21,519
We had heard about it by now because Marjorie Taylor

997
00:31:21,519 –> 00:31:24,479
Greene or somebody in Trump’s orbit would have filed

998
00:31:24,479 –> 00:31:25,559
articles of impeachment,

999
00:31:25,559 –> 00:31:27,679
if only to get the headlines and the attention for

1000
00:31:27,679 –> 00:31:28,079
doing it.

1001
00:31:28,079 –> 00:31:30,799
So I’m going to assume that thing has remade

1002
00:31:31,239 –> 00:31:33,279
a independent body by design,

1003
00:31:33,279 –> 00:31:36,479
impervious from congressional or executive branch.

1004
00:31:36,599 –> 00:31:37,239
That’s it.

1005
00:31:37,239 –> 00:31:38,199
What do they lose in a year?

1006
00:31:38,199 –> 00:31:40,959
100 billion in the portfolio they’ve munched up.

1007
00:31:40,959 –> 00:31:45,919
It’s this is and they’re spending 2.5 billion to renovate

1008
00:31:45,919 –> 00:31:47,759
their headquarters in Washington.

1009
00:31:48,259 –> 00:31:50,979
That is outrageous amounts of money.

1010
00:31:50,979 –> 00:31:52,819
That’s federal appropriations dollars.

1011
00:31:52,819 –> 00:31:54,779
That’s taxpayer general revenue funds.

1012
00:31:54,779 –> 00:31:59,099
So they went to $5 billion on a bill.

1013
00:31:59,499 –> 00:32:01,659
Did they go to Congress and ask for 2.5?

1014
00:32:01,899 –> 00:32:04,139
No, because it’s cost overruns.

1015
00:32:04,299 –> 00:32:04,939
Who pays that?

1016
00:32:04,939 –> 00:32:06,539
Let’s remember what the Fed is.

1017
00:32:06,779 –> 00:32:09,019
It’s the Treasury bank.

1018
00:32:09,659 –> 00:32:10,059
Okay.

1019
00:32:10,219 –> 00:32:12,939
Now, when the economy collapsed,

1020
00:32:13,259 –> 00:32:16,059
how was the Fed able to buy all the bad mortgages

1021
00:32:16,059 –> 00:32:16,619
and stuff?

1022
00:32:17,179 –> 00:32:18,059
How did they do that?

1023
00:32:18,379 –> 00:32:21,419
The treasury simply went into the computer.

1024
00:32:21,659 –> 00:32:24,219
Okay, this is all the money out there,

1025
00:32:24,379 –> 00:32:24,699
right?

1026
00:32:26,459 –> 00:32:27,819
It’s going to add some zeros.

1027
00:32:27,819 –> 00:32:29,259
I’m going to add some zeros.

1028
00:32:29,299 –> 00:32:29,979
That’s what they did.

1029
00:32:30,299 –> 00:32:31,179
Quantitative easing.

1030
00:32:31,339 –> 00:32:34,539
They added some zeros and deposited in their bank,

1031
00:32:34,819 –> 00:32:35,419
which is the Fed.

1032
00:32:35,419 –> 00:32:38,659
And then the Fed took the fake dollars and went and

1033
00:32:38,659 –> 00:32:41,619
bought all the bad loans and stuff to put money out

1034
00:32:41,619 –> 00:32:43,019
there because it had collapsed.

1035
00:32:43,419 –> 00:32:45,179
So this

1036
00:32:45,739 –> 00:32:46,739
Now the money’s,

1037
00:32:46,739 –> 00:32:47,619
what’s it lost?

1038
00:32:47,619 –> 00:32:49,659
Maybe in the last five years,

1039
00:32:49,659 –> 00:32:50,379
20% of its value?

1040
00:32:50,939 –> 00:32:52,019
Something to this effect.

1041
00:32:52,779 –> 00:32:55,739
So this is the quality of person we have making these

1042
00:32:55,739 –> 00:32:56,299
decisions.

1043
00:32:56,779 –> 00:32:57,499
We should know that.

1044
00:32:57,579 –> 00:32:58,539
I don’t know her,

1045
00:32:59,339 –> 00:33:00,059
you know what I mean?

1046
00:33:00,459 –> 00:33:02,379
But it’s insane.

1047
00:33:03,579 –> 00:33:04,219
It’s insane.

1048
00:33:05,659 –> 00:33:08,779
All the way down to the local city councils.

1049
00:33:09,179 –> 00:33:11,099
Just what a fucking mess.

1050
00:33:11,419 –> 00:33:12,499
Now, Trump,

1051
00:33:13,739 –> 00:33:14,779
going back to Detroit.

1052
00:33:15,099 –> 00:33:17,019
Is he going to send the National Guard to Chicago?

1053
00:33:17,339 –> 00:33:18,219
Yeah, sounds like it.

1054
00:33:18,459 –> 00:33:19,979
He said, we’re going in.

1055
00:33:19,979 –> 00:33:20,379
So.

1056
00:33:20,659 –> 00:33:21,339
That’s what he said.

1057
00:33:21,339 –> 00:33:22,099
It’s just a tweet.

1058
00:33:22,099 –> 00:33:22,779
We’re going in.

1059
00:33:22,939 –> 00:33:23,099
Yeah.

1060
00:33:23,259 –> 00:33:25,259
Well, no, he was in a press conference yesterday.

1061
00:33:25,259 –> 00:33:26,219
He said, we’re going in.

1062
00:33:26,779 –> 00:33:29,059
You know, and then does he have constitutional authority

1063
00:33:29,059 –> 00:33:29,579
again?

1064
00:33:30,019 –> 00:33:31,419
I mean, and I think that is questionable.

1065
00:33:31,419 –> 00:33:31,979
I do think,

1066
00:33:32,139 –> 00:33:32,379
you know,

1067
00:33:32,379 –> 00:33:33,579
I think a lot of this is.

1068
00:33:33,979 –> 00:33:35,579
because he can do it in DC,

1069
00:33:35,579 –> 00:33:37,739
because the federal government controls the District

1070
00:33:37,739 –> 00:33:38,299
of Columbia.

1071
00:33:38,699 –> 00:33:42,539
But, and I thought he was doing it to telegraph to

1072
00:33:42,539 –> 00:33:43,419
other governors,

1073
00:33:43,739 –> 00:33:45,339
you could do this if you wanted to.

1074
00:33:45,339 –> 00:33:47,099
Notice what Gavin Newsom is doing.

1075
00:33:47,339 –> 00:33:50,099
He is deploying law enforcement,

1076
00:33:50,099 –> 00:33:54,459
state law enforcement into the problem areas preemptively

1077
00:33:54,779 –> 00:33:56,859
and acting as if it has nothing to do with it.

1078
00:33:56,859 –> 00:33:57,179
Meanwhile,

1079
00:33:57,179 –> 00:33:57,819
Pritzker,

1080
00:33:58,659 –> 00:34:00,619
Which this is a fight Pritzker wants,

1081
00:34:01,019 –> 00:34:02,459
to run for president.

1082
00:34:03,059 –> 00:34:05,059
I mean, Trump’s aiding Pritzker,

1083
00:34:05,059 –> 00:34:08,219
which might be the whole plan is to inflate him so

1084
00:34:08,219 –> 00:34:10,699
that they got more people going after each other.

1085
00:34:10,699 –> 00:34:11,739
Because before this,

1086
00:34:11,739 –> 00:34:15,179
I would say Pritzker was as irrelevant as Newsom has

1087
00:34:15,179 –> 00:34:17,819
been until he became the leader of the resistance

1088
00:34:18,459 –> 00:34:20,379
with his social media parodies of Trump.

1089
00:34:23,459 –> 00:34:25,499
I mean, none of this is on their ability to govern

1090
00:34:25,499 –> 00:34:27,979
because both states are failed states.

1091
00:34:27,979 –> 00:34:30,699
I mean, it’s become the developing world in those two

1092
00:34:30,699 –> 00:34:31,179
states.

1093
00:34:32,539 –> 00:34:36,059
But becoming the anti-Trump candidate in the Democratic

1094
00:34:36,059 –> 00:34:37,739
primary is the ticket to,

1095
00:34:37,739 –> 00:34:38,539
you know,

1096
00:34:39,179 –> 00:34:40,219
riding high in the polls.

1097
00:34:40,219 –> 00:34:42,299
Would you know because you’re active in California

1098
00:34:42,299 –> 00:34:42,979
politics,

1099
00:34:43,019 –> 00:34:47,579
would you know the deficit and the debt California’s?

1100
00:34:48,059 –> 00:34:48,459
Carrie?

1101
00:34:48,779 –> 00:34:51,419
The unfunded pension liability is enough already to

1102
00:34:51,419 –> 00:34:52,299
bankrupt the state.

1103
00:34:52,819 –> 00:34:55,619
And a lot of jurisdictions in the state,

1104
00:34:55,619 –> 00:34:57,419
they have something called the 13th check that when

1105
00:34:57,419 –> 00:34:59,339
the pension fund overperforms,

1106
00:34:59,899 –> 00:35:03,699
every pensioner gets a 13th check.

1107
00:35:03,699 –> 00:35:04,659
That’s what happened in Detroit.

1108
00:35:04,659 –> 00:35:07,939
But they also don’t offset that for the years that

1109
00:35:07,939 –> 00:35:09,419
the pension fund underperforms.

1110
00:35:09,419 –> 00:35:11,179
So they’ve been draining on this thing.

1111
00:35:11,179 –> 00:35:13,859
And that’s happening at the municipal and county level

1112
00:35:13,859 –> 00:35:14,779
all around the state.

1113
00:35:15,819 –> 00:35:16,299
Right now,

1114
00:35:16,299 –> 00:35:19,779
they’re running about a $22 billion deficit that they’re,

1115
00:35:19,779 –> 00:35:20,219
of course,

1116
00:35:20,219 –> 00:35:21,899
talking about raising taxes to close.

1117
00:35:21,899 –> 00:35:25,019
Well, I don’t think states are allowed to run a deficit.

1118
00:35:25,259 –> 00:35:25,579
They’re not,

1119
00:35:25,819 –> 00:35:28,859
no, they’ve got to close that deficit gap right now.

1120
00:35:29,499 –> 00:35:33,019
Their budget typically is about $230 billion a year.

1121
00:35:33,019 –> 00:35:34,539
So just to give you an idea,

1122
00:35:34,739 –> 00:35:37,019
that’s scammer polled last time around,

1123
00:35:38,059 –> 00:35:41,259
just told the school districts,

1124
00:35:41,419 –> 00:35:43,139
you don’t got to send your contribution for the

1125
00:35:44,019 –> 00:35:45,499
for the teacher’s pensions this year.

1126
00:35:45,499 –> 00:35:49,579
Just keep that and plug the hole and we’re good.

1127
00:35:49,659 –> 00:35:52,379
So it’s not really a deficit anymore.

1128
00:35:52,379 –> 00:35:54,979
You just underfunded the fucking pension fund,

1129
00:35:54,979 –> 00:35:57,499
which led to bankruptcy in Detroit.

1130
00:35:57,579 –> 00:35:58,659
Well, and ours is bad,

1131
00:35:58,659 –> 00:36:01,099
but it’s not as bad as Illinois and California.

1132
00:36:01,099 –> 00:36:01,979
Illinois and California.

1133
00:36:01,979 –> 00:36:02,779
Connecticut’s worse,

1134
00:36:02,779 –> 00:36:05,099
Puerto Rico.

1135
00:36:05,979 –> 00:36:10,139
the public employee pensions are a ticking time bomb

1136
00:36:10,139 –> 00:36:11,099
that nobody’s addressing.

1137
00:36:11,099 –> 00:36:11,859
Spend, spend,

1138
00:36:11,859 –> 00:36:12,139
spend.

1139
00:36:12,299 –> 00:36:12,659
And you know,

1140
00:36:12,659 –> 00:36:13,579
I love spending too,

1141
00:36:13,579 –> 00:36:15,019
but we don’t got it.

1142
00:36:15,019 –> 00:36:18,379
Now we’re going to set the National Guard or whatever

1143
00:36:18,379 –> 00:36:19,219
the fuck we’re going to do.

1144
00:36:19,219 –> 00:36:22,779
We’re going in because Chicago had,

1145
00:36:23,339 –> 00:36:26,099
oh, how many shootings over Labor Day weekend?

1146
00:36:26,139 –> 00:36:27,859
53, 58.

1147
00:36:27,979 –> 00:36:30,379
I say 53, 56.

1148
00:36:30,619 –> 00:36:32,299
How many murders?

1149
00:36:34,219 –> 00:36:35,699
No, just over the weekend.

1150
00:36:35,699 –> 00:36:36,939
Oh, I think the half dozen.

1151
00:36:36,939 –> 00:36:37,419
Eight.

1152
00:36:37,899 –> 00:36:38,219
Eight.

1153
00:36:38,299 –> 00:36:40,299
Okay, so 8 and 53,

1154
00:36:40,299 –> 00:36:42,899
56, 58 and 58.

1155
00:36:43,099 –> 00:36:43,899
We know that.

1156
00:36:44,539 –> 00:36:45,419
Whole country knows it.

1157
00:36:45,579 –> 00:36:46,219
By the way,

1158
00:36:46,899 –> 00:36:48,299
that’s way better than it’s been over the year.

1159
00:36:48,299 –> 00:36:49,059
Like a couple of years ago,

1160
00:36:49,059 –> 00:36:52,379
it was like 33 murdered and 100 and something shot.

1161
00:36:53,899 –> 00:36:56,939
Philly over the weekend was like maybe 10.

1162
00:36:57,259 –> 00:36:58,379
I forget what Baltimore’s was.

1163
00:36:58,499 –> 00:36:59,419
What was Detroit’s?

1164
00:37:02,259 –> 00:37:03,339
What was Detroit’s?

1165
00:37:04,379 –> 00:37:04,859
No idea.

1166
00:37:08,139 –> 00:37:08,539
Crickets.

1167
00:37:11,339 –> 00:37:12,219
Crickets.

1168
00:37:13,019 –> 00:37:14,139
We don’t know.

1169
00:37:15,059 –> 00:37:16,139
They won’t put it out.

1170
00:37:16,219 –> 00:37:16,539
Really.

1171
00:37:16,699 –> 00:37:19,499
I even called the scanner Detroit 911 guy.

1172
00:37:20,219 –> 00:37:20,619
Yeah.

1173
00:37:21,739 –> 00:37:22,379
A secret name.

1174
00:37:22,939 –> 00:37:23,539
He said, sorry,

1175
00:37:23,539 –> 00:37:26,459
I was gone Saturday and my source inside the stats

1176
00:37:26,459 –> 00:37:27,979
department resigned.

1177
00:37:27,979 –> 00:37:28,139
What?

1178
00:37:29,099 –> 00:37:30,699
So if you look at it,

1179
00:37:31,739 –> 00:37:32,619
Even Flint,

1180
00:37:33,259 –> 00:37:34,179
LA, New York,

1181
00:37:34,379 –> 00:37:35,619
they put out crime stats,

1182
00:37:35,619 –> 00:37:36,259
some daily,

1183
00:37:36,259 –> 00:37:36,939
some weekly,

1184
00:37:37,019 –> 00:37:37,299
right?

1185
00:37:37,299 –> 00:37:38,219
That crime map.

1186
00:37:38,459 –> 00:37:39,139
Troy doesn’t.

1187
00:37:39,339 –> 00:37:39,939
They say they do,

1188
00:37:39,939 –> 00:37:40,539
but they don’t.

1189
00:37:40,939 –> 00:37:42,139
We have nothing.

1190
00:37:42,139 –> 00:37:42,259
Wow.

1191
00:37:43,259 –> 00:37:44,059
Nothing.

1192
00:37:44,379 –> 00:37:47,739
So some enterprising reporter want to find out from

1193
00:37:48,619 –> 00:37:50,699
Friday, how do they do the stats?

1194
00:37:50,859 –> 00:37:54,459
Friday, 5 o’clock in the afternoon,

1195
00:37:54,459 –> 00:37:55,019
I believe,

1196
00:37:55,019 –> 00:37:55,579
to

1197
00:37:56,939 –> 00:37:58,699
Tuesday, 8 in the morning,

1198
00:37:58,699 –> 00:37:59,819
that’s the holiday weekend.

1199
00:38:00,299 –> 00:38:01,259
How many were shot?

1200
00:38:01,859 –> 00:38:03,579
Because you’re all in here.

1201
00:38:03,739 –> 00:38:04,979
Were you looking at Twitter and you’d be like,

1202
00:38:04,979 –> 00:38:05,739
oh, two shot?

1203
00:38:06,059 –> 00:38:06,859
Did you guys see that?

1204
00:38:07,339 –> 00:38:08,459
You can let me know.

1205
00:38:08,979 –> 00:38:09,739
Did you guys see that?

1206
00:38:09,899 –> 00:38:10,099
Yeah.

1207
00:38:10,219 –> 00:38:10,459
Yes.

1208
00:38:10,699 –> 00:38:10,819
Yeah.

1209
00:38:11,099 –> 00:38:11,939
So they were piling,

1210
00:38:11,939 –> 00:38:12,459
everybody’s going,

1211
00:38:12,459 –> 00:38:14,139
oh shit, it’s a bloody weekend.

1212
00:38:14,219 –> 00:38:14,939
And we don’t know.

1213
00:38:15,099 –> 00:38:18,219
This is how you control the narrative.

1214
00:38:18,539 –> 00:38:19,939
This is how you get the 4-5 days.

1215
00:38:19,939 –> 00:38:20,219
Well, you know,

1216
00:38:20,259 –> 00:38:24,299
every network news program in the evening in Detroit

1217
00:38:24,299 –> 00:38:26,459
should be talking about the fact that this

1218
00:38:26,859 –> 00:38:29,019
Detroit Police Department isn’t providing these numbers.

1219
00:38:29,179 –> 00:38:32,259
This should be news unto itself that the department

1220
00:38:32,259 –> 00:38:33,179
is withholding this,

1221
00:38:33,179 –> 00:38:34,939
that the city’s withholding this information.

1222
00:38:34,939 –> 00:38:36,299
Well, back when I started at Fox,

1223
00:38:36,299 –> 00:38:37,579
too, coming out of the newspapers,

1224
00:38:37,579 –> 00:38:39,099
they put out the FBI report,

1225
00:38:39,259 –> 00:38:41,339
the crime report that are always fucking fake.

1226
00:38:41,339 –> 00:38:43,019
Let me just show you how far back this goes.

1227
00:38:43,819 –> 00:38:45,179
It was, when I start there,

1228
00:38:45,179 –> 00:38:47,339
Ken, maybe 2011?

1229
00:38:48,859 –> 00:38:50,859
Okay, so this is like 2012 they come out.

1230
00:38:51,179 –> 00:38:51,739
And I’m like,

1231
00:38:53,579 –> 00:38:54,539
80 arsons.

1232
00:38:55,419 –> 00:38:56,139
80 arsons.

1233
00:38:56,139 –> 00:38:58,619
I mean, everybody’s on a record to say we have 800,

1234
00:38:58,859 –> 00:38:59,179
right?

1235
00:38:59,499 –> 00:39:02,659
I’m like, so you told the feds 80 arsons and we made

1236
00:39:02,659 –> 00:39:05,179
it such a big deal that they took it back and said,

1237
00:39:05,179 –> 00:39:06,219
yeah, it was a clerical error.

1238
00:39:06,219 –> 00:39:07,819
It’s 800 arsons,

1239
00:39:07,819 –> 00:39:08,059
right?

1240
00:39:08,939 –> 00:39:10,059
So from then on,

1241
00:39:10,059 –> 00:39:10,379
you know,

1242
00:39:10,459 –> 00:39:12,779
I caught him faking the stats in 2016,

1243
00:39:12,779 –> 00:39:13,259
17.

1244
00:39:13,819 –> 00:39:14,539
From then on,

1245
00:39:14,539 –> 00:39:15,419
the police

1246
00:39:16,299 –> 00:39:18,459
Under James Craig started to put out a daily crime

1247
00:39:18,459 –> 00:39:19,859
blotter that every city does.

1248
00:39:19,859 –> 00:39:21,659
When I was a cub at the New York Times,

1249
00:39:21,819 –> 00:39:22,619
first thing you do,

1250
00:39:23,019 –> 00:39:25,659
you got to go sit at police headquarters and every

1251
00:39:25,659 –> 00:39:26,939
hour go look at that blotter,

1252
00:39:26,939 –> 00:39:27,739
see what’s going on.

1253
00:39:28,859 –> 00:39:30,659
We actually sat in the police department.

1254
00:39:30,659 –> 00:39:31,579
It was an office for us.

1255
00:39:31,579 –> 00:39:32,699
They used to have one here too.

1256
00:39:32,859 –> 00:39:34,099
Now everybody’s locked out.

1257
00:39:34,699 –> 00:39:35,499
There’s no blotter.

1258
00:39:35,499 –> 00:39:38,219
So they would put out major crimes of the evening in

1259
00:39:38,219 –> 00:39:38,699
the morning.

1260
00:39:39,059 –> 00:39:39,659
It’s pretty good.

1261
00:39:39,899 –> 00:39:42,059
Then Duggan got elected and it vaporized.

1262
00:39:42,379 –> 00:39:42,619
Really?

1263
00:39:42,779 –> 00:39:42,939
Yeah.

1264
00:39:43,659 –> 00:39:44,299
We had it for,

1265
00:39:44,619 –> 00:39:46,859
I was just riding them because we’re entitled to know

1266
00:39:46,859 –> 00:39:47,019
it.

1267
00:39:47,099 –> 00:39:49,099
Because crime is super bad here.

1268
00:39:49,299 –> 00:39:50,459
I’m going to tell you again.

1269
00:39:51,019 –> 00:39:53,819
Somebody said there’s a story out 200 organizations

1270
00:39:53,819 –> 00:39:56,379
of people back Duggan.

1271
00:39:56,539 –> 00:39:58,859
I go, send it to me because I bet you I can name every

1272
00:39:58,859 –> 00:39:59,339
one of them.

1273
00:40:00,219 –> 00:40:00,539
Right?

1274
00:40:01,579 –> 00:40:03,339
You didn’t have to pay pensions for 10 years.

1275
00:40:03,339 –> 00:40:05,099
We in the suburbs had to pay it.

1276
00:40:06,059 –> 00:40:07,299
Biden sent you a billion.

1277
00:40:07,299 –> 00:40:08,139
You spend it all.

1278
00:40:08,219 –> 00:40:09,819
Now it’s come due.

1279
00:40:10,059 –> 00:40:11,499
Crime, you’re lying about it.

1280
00:40:11,499 –> 00:40:12,939
We don’t even know what the crime is.

1281
00:40:13,899 –> 00:40:16,459
This is, and all the fraud going on,

1282
00:40:16,699 –> 00:40:17,579
all the embezzlement.

1283
00:40:17,659 –> 00:40:17,979
It’s like,

1284
00:40:18,059 –> 00:40:18,859
come on, man.

1285
00:40:20,779 –> 00:40:22,139
So what did we learn today,

1286
00:40:22,379 –> 00:40:22,859
Jason?

1287
00:40:25,179 –> 00:40:26,539
Pay your fucking taxes.

1288
00:40:27,579 –> 00:40:28,699
Be honest.

1289
00:40:28,939 –> 00:40:30,379
Contribute to society.

1290
00:40:30,379 –> 00:40:33,019
Because I know most of you in that little cabal,

1291
00:40:33,019 –> 00:40:34,059
the ones you deal with,

1292
00:40:35,179 –> 00:40:39,339
You’re just a little group of fucking termites eating

1293
00:40:39,339 –> 00:40:41,739
the planks of social cohesion.

1294
00:40:41,739 –> 00:40:42,379
That’s what you,

1295
00:40:42,619 –> 00:40:43,339
we don’t,

1296
00:40:44,379 –> 00:40:45,979
we got so much money going to school,

1297
00:40:45,979 –> 00:40:48,699
but such little of it goes to the fucking classroom.

1298
00:40:48,939 –> 00:40:51,099
I thought the lesson was fraud pays because no one

1299
00:40:51,099 –> 00:40:51,899
seems to get in trouble.

1300
00:40:51,899 –> 00:40:52,699
Had I known.

1301
00:40:53,419 –> 00:40:53,979
You know what I mean?

1302
00:40:53,979 –> 00:40:55,099
I grew up in Wayne County.

1303
00:40:55,099 –> 00:40:55,819
I went away.

1304
00:40:55,819 –> 00:40:57,419
I trained myself.

1305
00:40:57,419 –> 00:40:57,819
Thank you,

1306
00:40:57,819 –> 00:40:58,459
taxpayer,

1307
00:40:58,459 –> 00:40:59,419
all public school.

1308
00:40:59,499 –> 00:41:00,099
Thank you.

1309
00:41:00,099 –> 00:41:01,019
I’m trying to pay back.

1310
00:41:02,539 –> 00:41:03,259
I just thought,

1311
00:41:03,499 –> 00:41:05,099
I did what my mom taught me to do.

1312
00:41:05,099 –> 00:41:05,739
Work hard,

1313
00:41:05,739 –> 00:41:06,379
save your money.

1314
00:41:06,379 –> 00:41:07,979
That’s don’t take exotic trips.

1315
00:41:07,979 –> 00:41:08,779
Don’t get into debt.

1316
00:41:08,859 –> 00:41:09,539
I did that.

1317
00:41:09,979 –> 00:41:11,179
Then I come home and I’m like,

1318
00:41:12,539 –> 00:41:13,619
everybody I went to school with,

1319
00:41:13,659 –> 00:41:17,219
like, got a job in a county office somewhere and you’ve

1320
00:41:17,219 –> 00:41:21,819
got two fucking pensions and you’re 49 years old.

1321
00:41:22,139 –> 00:41:22,339
Wow.

1322
00:41:23,579 –> 00:41:24,179
And retired.

1323
00:41:24,619 –> 00:41:25,099
Yes.

1324
00:41:25,419 –> 00:41:27,739
And then now you’re a contractor with the county because

1325
00:41:27,739 –> 00:41:28,739
you ain’t never fucking getting.

1326
00:41:28,739 –> 00:41:30,739
And make it more than you did when you were in government.

1327
00:41:31,259 –> 00:41:34,019
And then the last out is people got to pay everything.

1328
00:41:35,339 –> 00:41:36,219
It’s over.

1329
00:41:37,099 –> 00:41:37,659
Hopefully.

1330
00:41:37,739 –> 00:41:38,459
It’s, well,

1331
00:41:38,539 –> 00:41:39,099
I’m done with it.

1332
00:41:39,259 –> 00:41:43,179
You just, you just best hope that the good,

1333
00:41:43,419 –> 00:41:44,459
the good people,

1334
00:41:44,699 –> 00:41:46,779
the rock solid people keep their heads straight.

1335
00:41:49,499 –> 00:41:51,179
Neo-cons or neo-coms.

1336
00:41:51,419 –> 00:41:52,139
Come to the middle,

1337
00:41:52,139 –> 00:41:52,539
man.

1338
00:41:53,259 –> 00:41:53,939
Like this,

1339
00:41:53,939 –> 00:41:54,459
ain’t right.

1340
00:41:54,859 –> 00:41:57,179
So, Lisa, I’m not being fooled.

1341
00:41:57,819 –> 00:41:58,619
You’re a crook.

1342
00:41:59,419 –> 00:42:00,059
See you next week.

1343
00:42:00,819 –> 00:42:01,459
Thanks for being here.
