TRANSCRIPT:
1
00:00:01,600 –> 00:00:02,480
Watch LeDuff,
2
00:00:03,120 –> 00:00:04,640
Ream City Council.
3
00:00:07,160 –> 00:00:08,000
Charlie LeDuff.
4
00:00:08,480 –> 00:00:10,960
So how badly has Detroit been poisoned?
5
00:00:11,240 –> 00:00:14,160
A random sampling of 50 demo holes filled by Brian
6
00:00:14,160 –> 00:00:16,840
McKinney and his company Guyenga shows that the dirt
7
00:00:16,840 –> 00:00:19,560
is too toxic to touch in 60%
8
00:00:19,560 –> 00:00:20,320
of the lots.
9
00:00:20,400 –> 00:00:23,920
My God, McKinney’s performed thousands of demos.
10
00:00:24,080 –> 00:00:25,280
How bad is it?
11
00:00:25,520 –> 00:00:28,480
In Flint, people were told not to drink the water,
12
00:00:28,560 –> 00:00:29,960
but at least they could bathe in it.
13
00:00:30,080 –> 00:00:30,240
it.
14
00:00:30,560 –> 00:00:31,680
What have you done?
15
00:00:31,920 –> 00:00:33,120
Despite me warning you,
16
00:00:33,120 –> 00:00:33,920
for years,
17
00:00:34,160 –> 00:00:35,520
you voted for these contracts.
18
00:00:35,680 –> 00:00:36,800
You turned a blind eye.
19
00:00:37,120 –> 00:00:39,040
Some of you did more than that.
20
00:00:39,280 –> 00:00:42,000
And so the mayor’s handpicked minority contractor has
21
00:00:42,000 –> 00:00:42,800
been suspended.
22
00:00:42,960 –> 00:00:43,920
He wants back in,
23
00:00:43,920 –> 00:00:45,680
pending a final investigation,
24
00:00:45,840 –> 00:00:47,120
and you will vote on that today.
25
00:00:47,360 –> 00:00:48,400
He claims race,
26
00:00:48,640 –> 00:00:50,960
but plenty of white contractors have been suspended
27
00:00:51,040 –> 00:00:52,080
for toxic dirt.
28
00:00:52,640 –> 00:00:53,720
Denman, for instance,
29
00:00:53,720 –> 00:00:54,800
has been banned for life.
30
00:00:54,880 –> 00:00:55,680
They’re watching.
31
00:00:55,920 –> 00:00:58,080
McKinney claims he got the dirt from Iron Horse.
32
00:00:58,320 –> 00:00:59,920
Iron Horse is now suspended.
33
00:01:00,080 –> 00:01:04,240
But Iron Horse sold thousands of tons to other contractors.
34
00:01:04,480 –> 00:01:05,920
Is this worse than Flint?
35
00:01:06,160 –> 00:01:06,960
Who pays?
36
00:01:07,440 –> 00:01:10,200
It is your legal and moral authority to find out to
37
00:01:10,200 –> 00:01:10,720
the end.
38
00:01:10,880 –> 00:01:12,320
So when you cast your vote today,
39
00:01:12,480 –> 00:01:13,600
please speak clearly.
40
00:01:13,920 –> 00:01:14,880
I’m taking names.
41
00:01:17,200 –> 00:01:17,760
Yeah.
42
00:01:18,480 –> 00:01:19,920
Our municipal novella,
43
00:01:20,160 –> 00:01:21,680
Guess Who’s Ruining Dinner,
44
00:01:21,840 –> 00:01:23,840
has become a real shovel turner.
45
00:01:24,240 –> 00:01:24,880
The plot.
46
00:01:25,840 –> 00:01:27,760
Change has come to Detroit City Hall.
47
00:01:28,080 –> 00:01:30,080
The current mayor is running for governor.
48
00:01:30,240 –> 00:01:33,080
The current city council president was elected as the
49
00:01:33,080 –> 00:01:33,840
next mayor,
50
00:01:34,000 –> 00:01:37,120
and a horde of hacks and cronies is lining up for
51
00:01:37,120 –> 00:01:38,240
jobs and handouts.
52
00:01:38,560 –> 00:01:40,720
Everybody was supposed to feast,
53
00:01:41,120 –> 00:01:44,000
except the supper party was ruined by a character
54
00:01:44,000 –> 00:01:45,120
named Brian McKinney,
55
00:01:45,440 –> 00:01:49,200
a notorious demolition contractor accused of poisoning
56
00:01:49,200 –> 00:01:51,600
the city with toxic soil.
57
00:01:52,320 –> 00:01:53,360
The leading man,
58
00:01:54,000 –> 00:01:57,440
Brian McKinney is a murky character who matriculated
59
00:01:57,440 –> 00:02:00,640
at state prison only to become Mayor Duggan’s go-to
60
00:02:00,800 –> 00:02:04,240
minority contractor after Duggan’s hand-picked white
61
00:02:04,240 –> 00:02:07,600
contractors got ensnared in a federal bid rigging
62
00:02:07,760 –> 00:02:09,360
and price fixing scandal.
63
00:02:09,760 –> 00:02:10,880
The leading lady.
64
00:02:11,520 –> 00:02:14,560
McKinney went on to become the part-time love interest
65
00:02:14,720 –> 00:02:16,320
of Councilwoman Sheffield.
66
00:02:16,560 –> 00:02:19,680
The 2 vacationed together at the Four Seasons Miami.
67
00:02:20,080 –> 00:02:24,760
Sheffield voted to award her paramour millions of dollars
68
00:02:24,760 –> 00:02:26,400
in demolition contracts.
69
00:02:26,800 –> 00:02:30,640
She became the next mayor and he in turn is named as
70
00:02:30,680 –> 00:02:33,840
a board of director at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
71
00:02:34,320 –> 00:02:35,360
The backstory.
72
00:02:35,840 –> 00:02:39,840
McKinney grew fabulously wealthy under Duggan’s umbra,
73
00:02:40,240 –> 00:02:43,440
getting at least $65 million in city contracts.
74
00:02:43,840 –> 00:02:46,800
With influence stretching from Duggan’s executive suite
75
00:02:46,960 –> 00:02:49,000
to Sheffield’s hotel suite,
76
00:02:49,440 –> 00:02:50,720
McKinney was untouchable.
77
00:02:51,360 –> 00:02:54,680
He rotated in high society and was often photographed
78
00:02:54,680 –> 00:02:56,480
in black tails and bow ties.
79
00:02:56,720 –> 00:02:57,840
He was, in short,
80
00:02:58,160 –> 00:03:00,320
Detroit’s Sydney Portageohn.
81
00:03:00,960 –> 00:03:04,120
That is, until McKinney was accused of dumping the
82
00:03:04,120 –> 00:03:07,840
contaminated remains of the old Northland Mall into
83
00:03:07,840 –> 00:03:09,280
the holes in the city.
84
00:03:09,840 –> 00:03:12,760
He charged the city for clean dirt and pocketed the
85
00:03:12,760 –> 00:03:14,960
difference the allegation goes.
86
00:03:15,680 –> 00:03:17,400
So bad is it that 60%
87
00:03:17,400 –> 00:03:21,920
of his holes tested were found to be so toxic that
88
00:03:21,920 –> 00:03:24,160
they aren’t safe for human contact.
89
00:03:24,560 –> 00:03:27,120
In Flint, people couldn’t drink the water,
90
00:03:27,360 –> 00:03:28,880
but at least they could bathe in it.
91
00:03:29,280 –> 00:03:30,160
In Detroit,
92
00:03:30,400 –> 00:03:32,240
children can’t even play in the dirt.
93
00:03:33,040 –> 00:03:36,280
The city’s inspector general temporarily banned McKinney
94
00:03:36,280 –> 00:03:39,920
and his company from work pending its final report.
95
00:03:40,880 –> 00:03:41,600
The scene.
96
00:03:42,400 –> 00:03:45,760
The city council on Tuesday convened a special appellate
97
00:03:45,760 –> 00:03:49,200
session where McKinney’s 3 lawyers pleaded with them
98
00:03:49,200 –> 00:03:51,200
to keep the champagne spigot flowing.
99
00:03:51,680 –> 00:03:53,040
McKinney was a no-show,
100
00:03:53,360 –> 00:03:56,240
as was outgoing Mayor Mike Duggins.
101
00:03:56,720 –> 00:03:58,720
Council President Mary Sheffield came,
102
00:03:58,960 –> 00:04:02,560
but curiously refused to recuse herself on ethical
103
00:04:02,560 –> 00:04:03,200
grounds.
104
00:04:04,160 –> 00:04:07,280
Those in the overflowing gallery included an angry
105
00:04:07,280 –> 00:04:10,320
group of contractors who claimed McKinney had stiffed
106
00:04:10,320 –> 00:04:13,760
them on millions and millions of dollars in work.
107
00:04:15,200 –> 00:04:18,000
We talked three years ago that the demolition process
108
00:04:18,000 –> 00:04:19,280
was a disaster,
109
00:04:19,600 –> 00:04:20,320
Arthur Edge,
110
00:04:20,560 –> 00:04:22,560
the retired supervisor of demolition,
111
00:04:22,560 –> 00:04:23,760
told the city council.
112
00:04:24,080 –> 00:04:26,400
And he, meaning Brian McKinney,
113
00:04:26,720 –> 00:04:29,040
was made the mayor’s poster child.
114
00:04:29,120 –> 00:04:30,400
Let me say that again.
115
00:04:30,720 –> 00:04:32,960
And he, Brian McKinney,
116
00:04:33,040 –> 00:04:35,520
was made the mayor’s poster child.
117
00:04:36,240 –> 00:04:39,480
McKinney’s lawyers argued that the city approved the
118
00:04:39,520 –> 00:04:40,480
offensive soil,
119
00:04:40,640 –> 00:04:43,320
and so the mass poisoning wasn’t McKinney’s fault
120
00:04:43,320 –> 00:04:43,920
at all.
121
00:04:44,800 –> 00:04:48,640
It was the city’s Councilman Coleman A.
122
00:04:48,640 –> 00:04:52,880
Young II, whose portrait you will not find hanging
123
00:04:53,040 –> 00:04:54,640
in the Genius Hall of Fame,
124
00:04:55,120 –> 00:04:56,400
may have put it best.
125
00:04:57,440 –> 00:04:59,280
I can smell the lawsuits from here.
126
00:05:00,240 –> 00:05:01,760
The resolution of this story.
127
00:05:02,720 –> 00:05:05,680
The council voted 9 to nothing to uphold the suspension
128
00:05:05,920 –> 00:05:07,200
of Sidney Porter-John,
129
00:05:07,520 –> 00:05:10,800
thus casting a cloud over Sheffield’s administration
130
00:05:11,040 –> 00:05:14,000
7 weeks before she’s even sworn in.
131
00:05:14,560 –> 00:05:17,680
The gubernatorial hopes of Duggan are starting to sink
132
00:05:17,840 –> 00:05:19,280
like a cement dirigible.
133
00:05:20,080 –> 00:05:21,600
Now, the cliffhanger.
134
00:05:22,480 –> 00:05:25,040
McKinney filled thousands of holes.
135
00:05:25,600 –> 00:05:28,720
Other contractors filled 10s of thousands more.
136
00:05:29,760 –> 00:05:31,520
How much might it cost
137
00:05:32,080 –> 00:05:35,040
to fix them if the city really looks into things.
138
00:05:35,680 –> 00:05:36,320
2 million?
139
00:05:36,880 –> 00:05:37,760
20 million?
140
00:05:38,320 –> 00:05:39,360
200 million?
141
00:05:39,920 –> 00:05:41,040
Would they go broke?
142
00:05:41,440 –> 00:05:43,760
Might Detroit be more poisoned than Flint?
143
00:05:44,240 –> 00:05:45,760
Which begs the question,
144
00:05:46,320 –> 00:05:49,920
can it be called environmental racism if both the
145
00:05:49,920 –> 00:05:53,120
perpetrator and the victims are African-American?
146
00:05:53,920 –> 00:05:55,920
The only thing black and white in all of this,
147
00:05:56,080 –> 00:05:58,560
said former city councilman Roy McAllister,
148
00:05:58,960 –> 00:06:00,560
is the black numbers
149
00:06:00,920 –> 00:06:02,000
on the white paper.
150
00:06:04,800 –> 00:06:07,640
Live from downtown Detroit,
151
00:06:08,000 –> 00:06:12,400
it’s the No Bullshit News Hour with my main man,
152
00:06:13,360 –> 00:06:18,880
Charlene LaDon and Karen Dumas.
153
00:06:20,440 –> 00:06:23,120
Assistant breaking this double or bullshit,
154
00:06:23,360 –> 00:06:24,240
double or bullshit.
155
00:06:25,280 –> 00:06:26,720
And here she is,
156
00:06:26,800 –> 00:06:27,560
Karen Dumas.
157
00:06:27,560 –> 00:06:28,440
What’s up,
158
00:06:28,440 –> 00:06:28,880
lady?
159
00:06:30,360 –> 00:06:31,120
Hey, Charlie,
160
00:06:31,120 –> 00:06:31,720
how are you?
161
00:06:31,720 –> 00:06:33,840
Oh, you have Sunita’s smiles.
162
00:06:33,840 –> 00:06:34,320
I love it.
163
00:06:34,320 –> 00:06:35,120
You look great.
164
00:06:36,080 –> 00:06:36,880
Well, thank you.
165
00:06:37,280 –> 00:06:38,480
I’m I am healing.
166
00:06:38,480 –> 00:06:39,160
So thank you.
167
00:06:39,280 –> 00:06:40,080
I am healing.
168
00:06:40,320 –> 00:06:40,480
Yeah.
169
00:06:40,640 –> 00:06:41,800
Incense, green tea.
170
00:06:41,800 –> 00:06:43,040
What’s going on?
171
00:06:43,120 –> 00:06:43,840
She’s glowing.
172
00:06:44,800 –> 00:06:47,200
And a dose and a dose from my Wednesday cup.
173
00:06:47,400 –> 00:06:47,760
I’m good.
174
00:06:48,560 –> 00:06:52,800
You know, I miss you because everybody’s an asshole,
175
00:06:52,800 –> 00:06:53,360
Karen.
176
00:06:55,040 –> 00:06:55,440
Hey, you know,
177
00:06:55,640 –> 00:06:56,600
wait, I haven’t seen you.
178
00:06:56,600 –> 00:06:57,680
should come by my house.
179
00:06:57,920 –> 00:06:59,360
Check out my neighbor’s leaves.
180
00:06:59,680 –> 00:07:00,200
Unbelievable.
181
00:07:00,320 –> 00:07:03,600
They’re all over my fucking lawn.
182
00:07:03,600 –> 00:07:05,880
I mean, oh look,
183
00:07:06,480 –> 00:07:07,680
how many times I,
184
00:07:07,680 –> 00:07:07,840
yeah.
185
00:07:08,320 –> 00:07:09,520
Well, they’re not on his lawn.
186
00:07:09,840 –> 00:07:11,040
They’re not on his lawn.
187
00:07:11,200 –> 00:07:12,440
And that’s all that matters.
188
00:07:12,440 –> 00:07:13,200
You’ll get ticketed.
189
00:07:15,440 –> 00:07:16,080
I, you know,
190
00:07:16,080 –> 00:07:18,480
Karen, we’re talking about mental health and everything.
191
00:07:18,480 –> 00:07:21,680
It’s, I know what was happening with me.
192
00:07:23,040 –> 00:07:24,960
The cast of Lunatics.
193
00:07:25,280 –> 00:07:26,000
that call me,
194
00:07:26,640 –> 00:07:28,400
because we’re doing demolition.
195
00:07:28,560 –> 00:07:30,760
You’ve got all the people in that group calling you
196
00:07:30,760 –> 00:07:32,000
all hours of the day.
197
00:07:32,320 –> 00:07:35,480
You got nursing home and everybody wants this justice
198
00:07:35,480 –> 00:07:36,880
and everybody has the answer,
199
00:07:37,040 –> 00:07:37,920
but they don’t care.
200
00:07:38,000 –> 00:07:39,360
You have the gadflies,
201
00:07:39,680 –> 00:07:40,000
you know,
202
00:07:40,000 –> 00:07:41,760
keep track of city hall politics,
203
00:07:42,000 –> 00:07:44,560
calling you on the weekends like it’s an emergency,
204
00:07:44,720 –> 00:07:47,040
five times in a row and filling up your voice box.
205
00:07:48,480 –> 00:07:52,560
I just turned off the phone for the weekend.
206
00:07:53,480 –> 00:07:54,320
And it was amazing.
207
00:07:54,840 –> 00:07:55,360
And you should,
208
00:07:55,360 –> 00:07:55,840
Charlie.
209
00:07:55,840 –> 00:08:00,000
But, I think as we saw at the Merrill Forum that we
210
00:08:00,000 –> 00:08:02,800
did, there’s a lot of pent up frustration.
211
00:08:03,520 –> 00:08:06,720
And people are looking for somebody to help them come
212
00:08:06,720 –> 00:08:09,360
up with an answer or an explanation or some form of
213
00:08:09,360 –> 00:08:12,560
understanding as to why things are the way that they
214
00:08:12,560 –> 00:08:12,880
are.
215
00:08:12,880 –> 00:08:13,840
And, you know,
216
00:08:13,840 –> 00:08:17,440
I saw some people criticizing the media saying,
217
00:08:17,440 –> 00:08:18,080
hey, you know,
218
00:08:18,080 –> 00:08:21,320
you guys are bringing this issue up about the dirt
219
00:08:21,320 –> 00:08:23,400
and the relationship between Sheffield and this
220
00:08:23,640 –> 00:08:23,840
guy.
221
00:08:24,440 –> 00:08:25,760
And you didn’t do that with Duggan.
222
00:08:26,000 –> 00:08:27,120
But the reality is,
223
00:08:27,120 –> 00:08:28,600
that it did happen with Duggan,
224
00:08:28,600 –> 00:08:30,400
but everybody gave him a pass.
225
00:08:30,800 –> 00:08:32,440
And so I just,
226
00:08:32,720 –> 00:08:35,760
just because you like someone doesn’t mean that you
227
00:08:35,760 –> 00:08:38,640
should turn a blind eye to their truths,
228
00:08:38,960 –> 00:08:40,000
for better or worse.
229
00:08:40,000 –> 00:08:41,120
Well, first of all,
230
00:08:41,280 –> 00:08:43,840
okay, we never turned a blind eye.
231
00:08:43,840 –> 00:08:46,080
That cannot be said of like,
232
00:08:46,720 –> 00:08:48,480
now that it’s a really big deal.
233
00:08:48,480 –> 00:08:49,760
I mean, it’s a big deal.
234
00:08:50,480 –> 00:08:51,600
We’re the only ones that
235
00:08:52,400 –> 00:08:53,120
For years,
236
00:08:53,120 –> 00:08:55,920
like we’re just trying to be right down the middle
237
00:08:55,960 –> 00:08:57,120
and give you what you need to know.
238
00:08:57,120 –> 00:08:59,440
So that’s not true and that’s not fair.
239
00:08:59,960 –> 00:09:00,920
No, it’s not true.
240
00:09:01,040 –> 00:09:02,400
It’s really not true.
241
00:09:02,880 –> 00:09:05,520
And I put this more on the residents.
242
00:09:05,520 –> 00:09:09,600
I just because they literally just did not say anything
243
00:09:09,600 –> 00:09:11,040
about anything that Duggan did.
244
00:09:11,040 –> 00:09:13,920
You know, I remember the interview when he admitted
245
00:09:13,920 –> 00:09:15,680
to steering contracts and he said,
246
00:09:15,680 –> 00:09:16,400
yeah, but you know,
247
00:09:16,480 –> 00:09:17,600
I lose sleep over it.
248
00:09:17,920 –> 00:09:18,840
Nobody said a word.
249
00:09:18,840 –> 00:09:21,040
I don’t know if they were afraid.
250
00:09:21,520 –> 00:09:22,000
I just,
251
00:09:22,280 –> 00:09:23,680
I don’t know what the issue is,
252
00:09:23,680 –> 00:09:24,520
but they literally,
253
00:09:24,520 –> 00:09:27,960
even after the issue with the lady at the DMC who
254
00:09:27,960 –> 00:09:28,640
turned out to be,
255
00:09:28,640 –> 00:09:30,080
he eventually married,
256
00:09:30,320 –> 00:09:30,720
and they said,
257
00:09:30,720 –> 00:09:30,960
oh, well,
258
00:09:30,960 –> 00:09:32,160
we want him to be happy.
259
00:09:32,800 –> 00:09:37,200
Okay, but they just turned a blind eye to all the stuff
260
00:09:37,200 –> 00:09:38,080
that he’s done.
261
00:09:38,320 –> 00:09:40,400
So that’s not true.
262
00:09:40,400 –> 00:09:44,960
You have actually been very factual and very fair for
263
00:09:44,960 –> 00:09:45,600
everybody.
264
00:09:45,960 –> 00:09:47,360
And now he wants to be your governor,
265
00:09:47,360 –> 00:09:47,680
you know,
266
00:09:48,160 –> 00:09:48,320
here.
267
00:09:48,320 –> 00:09:50,480
So I’m sitting at that city council meeting yesterday.
268
00:09:51,680 –> 00:09:54,400
And we’re going round and round.
269
00:09:54,400 –> 00:09:55,360
So the city,
270
00:09:55,760 –> 00:09:56,200
first of all,
271
00:09:56,200 –> 00:09:57,240
they’re walking in late,
272
00:09:57,240 –> 00:09:58,600
they’re walking out in the middle of it.
273
00:09:58,600 –> 00:09:59,960
This is really serious.
274
00:09:59,960 –> 00:10:01,360
This is quite likely.
275
00:10:01,520 –> 00:10:03,280
And if you’re not from Detroit,
276
00:10:03,760 –> 00:10:04,920
but you’re from Michigan,
277
00:10:04,920 –> 00:10:06,640
this should interest you because it’s going to come
278
00:10:06,640 –> 00:10:07,440
out of your pocket.
279
00:10:07,840 –> 00:10:08,560
Always does.
280
00:10:08,560 –> 00:10:11,600
You can’t leave poisoned lots.
281
00:10:11,920 –> 00:10:13,840
sitting there in the city.
282
00:10:13,920 –> 00:10:16,000
You can’t legally do it as I’ve said there.
283
00:10:16,160 –> 00:10:17,600
You can’t morally do it.
284
00:10:17,760 –> 00:10:19,280
So this affects everybody.
285
00:10:19,520 –> 00:10:21,200
And if you’re looking at billboards,
286
00:10:21,280 –> 00:10:22,440
look beyond a billboard.
287
00:10:22,440 –> 00:10:23,320
Don’t be swindled.
288
00:10:23,440 –> 00:10:28,560
But I’m sitting there in city council and to a person,
289
00:10:28,720 –> 00:10:31,520
they kept asking McKinney’s lawyer.
290
00:10:32,880 –> 00:10:37,760
So McKinney Guyenga got this
291
00:10:38,560 –> 00:10:42,160
contaminated soil from a city approved source,
292
00:10:42,400 –> 00:10:42,680
right?
293
00:10:42,960 –> 00:10:44,080
That’s what you’re telling us.
294
00:10:44,160 –> 00:10:47,120
So it wouldn’t be McKinney’s fault at all.
295
00:10:47,120 –> 00:10:47,680
It would be,
296
00:10:47,920 –> 00:10:49,040
I guess, the city’s,
297
00:10:49,240 –> 00:10:51,520
which is a dumb thing to argue because the city’s
298
00:10:51,520 –> 00:10:52,960
liable for it.
299
00:10:52,960 –> 00:10:57,920
But that’s what the inspector general said.
300
00:10:57,920 –> 00:11:00,000
Well, that’s what they claim.
301
00:11:00,600 –> 00:11:03,440
but that’s not where the evidence is leading us.
302
00:11:03,520 –> 00:11:06,720
And I can’t say anymore because it’s an ongoing investigation.
303
00:11:06,880 –> 00:11:08,880
So I’m looking at the city council and they,
304
00:11:09,040 –> 00:11:10,320
some, they all asked it.
305
00:11:10,480 –> 00:11:12,400
Some of them asked it a couple times.
306
00:11:12,720 –> 00:11:13,200
And I’m like,
307
00:11:14,480 –> 00:11:17,040
these are like low wattage bulbs,
308
00:11:17,040 –> 00:11:17,680
these people.
309
00:11:17,760 –> 00:11:21,320
They’re either really dumb or they’re really smart.
310
00:11:21,320 –> 00:11:24,000
And they’ve been sitting in those chairs a long time.
311
00:11:25,040 –> 00:11:25,920
They’re in on it.
312
00:11:25,920 –> 00:11:26,960
They voted for it.
313
00:11:26,960 –> 00:11:27,920
I’ve been warning them.
314
00:11:27,920 –> 00:11:29,840
I’ve gone to city council a million times.
315
00:11:30,920 –> 00:11:33,200
And maybe they learned a game to be dumb,
316
00:11:33,840 –> 00:11:37,440
confuse the issue to the citizen so the citizen doesn’t
317
00:11:37,440 –> 00:11:38,000
understand it.
318
00:11:38,000 –> 00:11:39,600
Which one do you think it is?
319
00:11:40,560 –> 00:11:42,760
Well, it may be a combination of all of that,
320
00:11:42,760 –> 00:11:43,280
Charlie.
321
00:11:43,680 –> 00:11:46,160
I guess for me,
322
00:11:46,160 –> 00:11:49,080
I was looking at their facial expressions and I found
323
00:11:49,080 –> 00:11:50,000
it insulting.
324
00:11:51,200 –> 00:11:55,280
to trivialize something like this by their facial expressions.
325
00:11:55,280 –> 00:11:59,440
And I know I tend to have very expressive facial expressions
326
00:11:59,440 –> 00:12:00,640
and people tell me to,
327
00:12:00,640 –> 00:12:01,600
be careful with that.
328
00:12:02,120 –> 00:12:03,920
when you’re in the public eye and you’re sitting there,
329
00:12:03,920 –> 00:12:07,280
your facial expression and your physical demeanor
330
00:12:07,280 –> 00:12:10,880
is sending a message as to your interpretation of
331
00:12:11,040 –> 00:12:12,720
how important this issue is.
332
00:12:12,960 –> 00:12:15,280
And I was watching some of their expressions and that
333
00:12:15,280 –> 00:12:16,440
wasn’t a good look for me.
334
00:12:16,440 –> 00:12:17,760
What did you see?
335
00:12:18,560 –> 00:12:20,760
I mean, just kind of the slight turning of the head,
336
00:12:20,760 –> 00:12:22,000
the rolling of the eyes,
337
00:12:22,080 –> 00:12:23,680
the dismissiveness,
338
00:12:25,160 –> 00:12:26,960
about the issue beforehand.
339
00:12:27,600 –> 00:12:29,440
Maybe it wasn’t intentional.
340
00:12:30,320 –> 00:12:32,480
but you have to be careful about what you say and what
341
00:12:32,480 –> 00:12:32,880
you do.
342
00:12:32,960 –> 00:12:36,440
I just, I saw some gestures that I interpreted as dismissive.
343
00:12:36,880 –> 00:12:38,800
I, yeah, and what was amazing,
344
00:12:38,800 –> 00:12:40,760
it’s just municipal stuff,
345
00:12:40,760 –> 00:12:42,800
folks, but it’s amazing.
346
00:12:42,800 –> 00:12:45,560
It’s, you could transport it to Washington on a local
347
00:12:45,560 –> 00:12:45,840
level.
348
00:12:46,080 –> 00:12:47,280
But when Arthur Edge,
349
00:12:47,280 –> 00:12:48,800
the former supervisor of demo,
350
00:12:48,800 –> 00:12:49,600
walks in,
351
00:12:49,920 –> 00:12:50,520
looking great,
352
00:12:50,520 –> 00:12:50,960
by the way,
353
00:12:50,960 –> 00:12:52,040
Arthur, looking great,
354
00:12:52,040 –> 00:12:52,560
my man.
355
00:12:52,720 –> 00:12:54,000
Fit, trim,
356
00:12:54,160 –> 00:12:55,240
nice white beard,
357
00:12:55,520 –> 00:12:56,480
nice white sweater.
358
00:12:56,480 –> 00:12:56,840
I was like,
359
00:12:57,360 –> 00:12:59,680
just the picture of elderly handsomeness.
360
00:13:00,320 –> 00:13:03,440
And he sits there and he says,
361
00:13:04,000 –> 00:13:06,080
you knew this three years ago,
362
00:13:06,320 –> 00:13:06,640
right?
363
00:13:06,640 –> 00:13:09,760
Because Arthur was the real deal and he cares about
364
00:13:09,760 –> 00:13:12,120
this city and he knew what was happening and he’d
365
00:13:12,120 –> 00:13:15,040
blow the whistle and then they threatened his job.
366
00:13:15,440 –> 00:13:16,800
And he said it clearly,
367
00:13:17,600 –> 00:13:22,280
this guy who’s been suspended was the poster child
368
00:13:22,280 –> 00:13:23,840
made by Mike Duggan.
369
00:13:23,920 –> 00:13:24,960
So in the end,
370
00:13:26,200 –> 00:13:27,760
City council rubber stamped this,
371
00:13:27,760 –> 00:13:28,840
you might have canoodled,
372
00:13:28,840 –> 00:13:30,000
you might have taken trips,
373
00:13:30,160 –> 00:13:31,040
but in the end,
374
00:13:31,280 –> 00:13:33,520
this goes right to Duggan.
375
00:13:34,720 –> 00:13:35,480
Yeah, it does,
376
00:13:35,520 –> 00:13:35,920
Charlie.
377
00:13:35,920 –> 00:13:37,600
And that’s the other thing is that,
378
00:13:37,920 –> 00:13:38,400
you know,
379
00:13:39,040 –> 00:13:43,440
in those conversations or those coercive moments,
380
00:13:43,680 –> 00:13:47,280
he has provided or reassured folks of their protection
381
00:13:47,280 –> 00:13:49,600
in doing what he has advised them to do.
382
00:13:50,040 –> 00:13:52,160
Go ahead, cross against the red light.
383
00:13:52,320 –> 00:13:53,320
I got you covered.
384
00:13:53,320 –> 00:13:54,360
I’ll stop traffic.
385
00:13:54,400 –> 00:13:55,600
And so, you know,
386
00:13:55,600 –> 00:13:58,640
they move forward with that confidence that he is
387
00:13:58,640 –> 00:14:00,520
going to protect them from the wrongdoing.
388
00:14:01,120 –> 00:14:03,680
Yeah, it just seems like it was an era of…
389
00:14:04,840 –> 00:14:10,560
And not caring,
390
00:14:10,560 –> 00:14:10,960
Charlie.
391
00:14:10,960 –> 00:14:12,560
I mean, you’re talking about something that could have
392
00:14:12,560 –> 00:14:15,520
damaging effects to the residents of the city,
393
00:14:15,520 –> 00:14:15,880
you know,
394
00:14:15,880 –> 00:14:16,720
whether it’s,
395
00:14:17,120 –> 00:14:17,840
I don’t know how this.
396
00:14:18,000 –> 00:14:18,720
Let me not say,
397
00:14:18,720 –> 00:14:19,680
let me not say that.
398
00:14:19,920 –> 00:14:22,240
Let me continue your thought when I just throw this
399
00:14:22,240 –> 00:14:22,400
in.
400
00:14:24,400 –> 00:14:25,600
It’s been proven,
401
00:14:25,600 –> 00:14:28,440
proven at a random sampling that 90%
402
00:14:28,440 –> 00:14:30,480
of the holes have poison dirt.
403
00:14:30,960 –> 00:14:34,960
And 60% of the holes are at a level not safe for human
404
00:14:34,960 –> 00:14:35,920
contact.
405
00:14:37,280 –> 00:14:38,160
Well, there you go.
406
00:14:38,720 –> 00:14:39,840
No longer to guess.
407
00:14:39,840 –> 00:14:40,480
There you go.
408
00:14:41,200 –> 00:14:42,800
So when you were asking earlier,
409
00:14:42,800 –> 00:14:43,160
you said,
410
00:14:43,160 –> 00:14:43,840
does it, you know,
411
00:14:43,840 –> 00:14:44,720
this person.
412
00:14:44,880 –> 00:14:46,080
So the question is,
413
00:14:46,160 –> 00:14:47,840
who cares about Detroit?
414
00:14:48,320 –> 00:14:51,720
Who cares about the city and the residents enough to
415
00:14:51,760 –> 00:14:52,560
do the right thing?
416
00:14:52,960 –> 00:14:55,120
So if you got the contract,
417
00:14:55,360 –> 00:14:57,200
why not just do it the right way?
418
00:14:57,360 –> 00:15:00,840
Why not go through the process and do and handle
419
00:15:01,120 –> 00:15:04,000
the demo and the dirt the way that it should be done.
420
00:15:04,400 –> 00:15:05,520
Money, money,
421
00:15:05,600 –> 00:15:06,080
money, money.
422
00:15:06,480 –> 00:15:07,080
I understand,
423
00:15:07,080 –> 00:15:08,400
but if you’re still getting paid,
424
00:15:08,400 –> 00:15:10,160
why not do it the right way?
425
00:15:10,240 –> 00:15:11,440
Like, what is so hard?
426
00:15:12,080 –> 00:15:14,160
What is so hard about doing the thing that you’re being
427
00:15:14,160 –> 00:15:14,840
paid to do?
428
00:15:14,840 –> 00:15:16,240
I just, I don’t understand.
429
00:15:16,640 –> 00:15:18,080
I’ll answer that.
430
00:15:18,080 –> 00:15:20,320
It’s easy and you have cover.
431
00:15:20,320 –> 00:15:21,680
If you have cover and it’s easy,
432
00:15:21,680 –> 00:15:23,520
why wouldn’t you take an extra dollar?
433
00:15:24,240 –> 00:15:25,920
But what’s amazing to me,
434
00:15:26,480 –> 00:15:29,120
okay, is there was a federal grand jury here.
435
00:15:30,320 –> 00:15:34,560
The Treasury feds were here looking at all this,
436
00:15:34,880 –> 00:15:35,200
right?
437
00:15:35,840 –> 00:15:36,720
The state,
438
00:15:37,600 –> 00:15:40,480
HUD, Arthur Edge,
439
00:15:41,280 –> 00:15:45,200
this is like we’re nearing a billion dollars of people’s
440
00:15:45,200 –> 00:15:47,200
money to damage the people.
441
00:15:47,360 –> 00:15:50,160
It’s not even up for debate now.
442
00:15:50,160 –> 00:15:51,840
it’s where I’m going is,
443
00:15:52,480 –> 00:15:53,200
how bad is it?
444
00:15:53,440 –> 00:15:54,920
And you’re going to have to fucking fix it.
445
00:15:55,680 –> 00:15:56,240
Because again,
446
00:15:56,240 –> 00:15:59,520
Flint, I’m sorry I didn’t pay closer attention.
447
00:15:59,680 –> 00:16:02,560
And when they make a promise to my people,
448
00:16:02,600 –> 00:16:03,440
I’m going to keep it.
449
00:16:03,960 –> 00:16:05,600
I’m going to see it through to the end.
450
00:16:05,840 –> 00:16:08,840
And for my friends who are concerned about what happened
451
00:16:08,840 –> 00:16:09,680
in the nursing homes,
452
00:16:10,320 –> 00:16:12,160
I’m sorry it’s going so slow for you,
453
00:16:12,160 –> 00:16:16,280
but this is what happens when there’s a system and
454
00:16:16,280 –> 00:16:18,960
it’s corrupt and they’ve got all the levers to pull.
455
00:16:19,040 –> 00:16:21,920
You’ve got to jump through every tire.
456
00:16:23,080 –> 00:16:24,400
Flint’s a good example.
457
00:16:24,400 –> 00:16:25,520
Who got punished for that?
458
00:16:26,720 –> 00:16:27,120
Nobody.
459
00:16:27,120 –> 00:16:29,800
In fact, the guy that put that deal together was the
460
00:16:29,800 –> 00:16:31,880
chief operating officer in Detroit,
461
00:16:32,160 –> 00:16:32,560
right?
462
00:16:32,920 –> 00:16:34,400
When this shit was going down.
463
00:16:34,560 –> 00:16:37,360
And now he’s working for GM and he’s trying to get
464
00:16:37,360 –> 00:16:40,160
money out of the city and the state to take that albatross
465
00:16:40,160 –> 00:16:43,000
off the hands and give it to billionaire Dan Gilbert.
466
00:16:43,120 –> 00:16:44,400
We’re supposed to fund that.
467
00:16:44,520 –> 00:16:47,600
And then Mary Sheffield just put him on her transition
468
00:16:47,600 –> 00:16:47,920
team.
469
00:16:48,560 –> 00:16:50,080
Like the vampires never die.
470
00:16:50,640 –> 00:16:52,640
But everything is so recycled,
471
00:16:52,640 –> 00:16:55,280
Charlie, but you always say follow the money,
472
00:16:55,520 –> 00:16:57,520
but I always say follow the relationships.
473
00:16:57,520 –> 00:16:59,840
And that will also speak volumes.
474
00:16:59,840 –> 00:17:00,800
I mean, that’s,
475
00:17:00,800 –> 00:17:01,520
yeah, I mean.
476
00:17:02,240 –> 00:17:03,120
If anybody knows that,
477
00:17:03,120 –> 00:17:03,560
it’s you.
478
00:17:03,560 –> 00:17:05,040
I’m going to make a bookmark here.
479
00:17:05,440 –> 00:17:06,320
Can I ask a question?
480
00:17:06,760 –> 00:17:09,360
Who did you just say is on her transition team?
481
00:17:09,440 –> 00:17:11,520
The guy that Dave Masseron is?
482
00:17:11,920 –> 00:17:12,240
Yeah.
483
00:17:12,400 –> 00:17:14,080
Who else is on her transition team?
484
00:17:14,200 –> 00:17:16,160
What other names do we know that are recycled?
485
00:17:16,560 –> 00:17:17,680
Butch Hollowell,
486
00:17:17,680 –> 00:17:20,040
who was, you know,
487
00:17:20,040 –> 00:17:21,280
old Six Mile Butch.
488
00:17:22,240 –> 00:17:24,960
He was the guy who was the corporation counsel that
489
00:17:24,960 –> 00:17:26,080
was trying to write,
490
00:17:26,160 –> 00:17:27,120
rewrite laws,
491
00:17:27,360 –> 00:17:28,080
knowing that
492
00:17:28,560 –> 00:17:30,240
Shit was going into these holes.
493
00:17:30,400 –> 00:17:31,520
So he’s back.
494
00:17:31,600 –> 00:17:31,840
Who?
495
00:17:33,360 –> 00:17:36,480
Charlie, the whole reference when you was when you
496
00:17:36,480 –> 00:17:38,000
talked about him.
497
00:17:38,000 –> 00:17:38,400
Don’t say that.
498
00:17:39,760 –> 00:17:40,720
Put your mind out of the gutter,
499
00:17:40,720 –> 00:17:41,040
Karen.
500
00:17:42,480 –> 00:17:43,640
It’s a matter of public record,
501
00:17:43,760 –> 00:17:44,000
Karen.
502
00:17:45,000 –> 00:17:45,560
I’m sorry.
503
00:17:45,800 –> 00:17:47,200
It’s a matter of public record.
504
00:17:48,040 –> 00:17:49,440
Old Dutch boy Butch.
505
00:17:49,960 –> 00:17:51,240
What I know that is,
506
00:17:51,240 –> 00:17:52,440
and the thing about it is,
507
00:17:52,440 –> 00:17:55,560
that under any circumstances and under any place else,
508
00:17:55,560 –> 00:17:58,880
that person would not have been able to just brush
509
00:17:58,880 –> 00:18:02,080
that off and continue to be included and place,
510
00:18:04,080 –> 00:18:08,880
this is all Duggan and people have to understand all
511
00:18:08,880 –> 00:18:11,440
these people are there because of him and then ask
512
00:18:11,440 –> 00:18:11,920
why.
513
00:18:12,800 –> 00:18:13,520
Ask why.
514
00:18:13,840 –> 00:18:15,680
So to all those people of yours that say,
515
00:18:15,680 –> 00:18:17,080
why did you guys challenge you?
516
00:18:17,080 –> 00:18:17,680
I think that’s
517
00:18:18,160 –> 00:18:18,960
It’s all we’re doing.
518
00:18:18,960 –> 00:18:20,240
We’re letting you know right now.
519
00:18:20,240 –> 00:18:22,760
We let you know last week and we let you know last
520
00:18:22,760 –> 00:18:23,040
year.
521
00:18:23,200 –> 00:18:26,800
Now, when you were watching that city council Kabuki
522
00:18:26,800 –> 00:18:29,280
Theater, our municipal novella,
523
00:18:30,560 –> 00:18:32,560
did you see me at all on the cutaway?
524
00:18:33,600 –> 00:18:34,080
Yeah, I did.
525
00:18:34,320 –> 00:18:35,040
You did because,
526
00:18:35,360 –> 00:18:35,680
you know,
527
00:18:35,680 –> 00:18:39,440
it’s always my practice whenever some scandalous bullshit’s
528
00:18:39,440 –> 00:18:41,280
going on that I’ve cooked up,
529
00:18:41,280 –> 00:18:41,560
right?
530
00:18:41,600 –> 00:18:42,320
Like, God,
531
00:18:42,720 –> 00:18:44,480
I always sent center row.
532
00:18:44,960 –> 00:18:45,280
Right?
533
00:18:45,280 –> 00:18:46,160
So in the aisle,
534
00:18:46,640 –> 00:18:49,600
so I can lean in and everybody can see my face.
535
00:18:49,840 –> 00:18:51,000
And I’ll give them the old,
536
00:18:52,320 –> 00:18:52,600
wow.
537
00:18:53,320 –> 00:18:56,000
And then when they’re talking dumb shit,
538
00:18:56,880 –> 00:18:57,840
I stand up,
539
00:18:57,840 –> 00:18:58,880
I stretch,
540
00:18:58,880 –> 00:19:01,400
let them see me,
541
00:19:01,400 –> 00:19:03,880
and then I go off to fake like I’m going to the toilet.
542
00:19:03,880 –> 00:19:04,840
I just make some theater.
543
00:19:04,840 –> 00:19:06,320
This is the dumbest shit.
544
00:19:06,480 –> 00:19:11,520
But if you did not watch the City Council Kabuki Theater
545
00:19:11,760 –> 00:19:13,280
and you want a permanent
546
00:19:14,720 –> 00:19:15,920
Remembrance of my expression.
547
00:19:15,920 –> 00:19:16,320
Look at this,
548
00:19:16,320 –> 00:19:16,560
Karen.
549
00:19:16,560 –> 00:19:17,200
Look what I got.
550
00:19:19,840 –> 00:19:20,240
Look at that.
551
00:19:21,360 –> 00:19:22,160
It is.
552
00:19:22,240 –> 00:19:23,280
It’s new shirt.
553
00:19:23,920 –> 00:19:25,680
No BS news Detroit.
554
00:19:25,800 –> 00:19:27,840
It’s got me looking like Evel Knievel on it.
555
00:19:28,000 –> 00:19:30,640
It’s made in Detroit.
556
00:19:31,680 –> 00:19:32,840
It’s the made in Detroit brand.
557
00:19:32,840 –> 00:19:34,160
Yeah, that’s good,
558
00:19:34,320 –> 00:19:34,680
Charlie.
559
00:19:34,680 –> 00:19:35,280
I like that.
560
00:19:35,360 –> 00:19:35,760
Isn’t it?
561
00:19:35,760 –> 00:19:37,600
Yes, it’s a special holiday edition.
562
00:19:37,600 –> 00:19:40,720
So it’s you go to mydetroit.com.
563
00:19:41,360 –> 00:19:43,440
And it’ll be up there and you can get.
564
00:19:43,600 –> 00:19:44,400
Made in Detroit.
565
00:19:44,600 –> 00:19:45,120
What’d I say?
566
00:19:45,280 –> 00:19:46,320
Made my Detroit.
567
00:19:46,680 –> 00:19:48,000
It’s made in Detroit.com.
568
00:19:48,240 –> 00:19:49,440
Made in Detroit.
569
00:19:49,440 –> 00:19:50,640
M-A-D-E.
570
00:19:50,640 –> 00:19:51,120
You got it.
571
00:19:51,600 –> 00:19:52,800
Not M-A-I-D.
572
00:19:53,600 –> 00:19:54,400
Made in Detroit.
573
00:19:54,640 –> 00:19:55,920
So you can get the T-shirts.
574
00:19:56,080 –> 00:19:57,040
They’re 25.
575
00:19:57,280 –> 00:19:58,560
And I didn’t know it till this morning.
576
00:19:58,800 –> 00:19:59,760
They got hoodies,
577
00:20:00,400 –> 00:20:01,000
which are 50.
578
00:20:01,040 –> 00:20:03,600
So like when you’re raking your leaves and you’re cold,
579
00:20:03,800 –> 00:20:05,360
when you’re raking your neighbor’s leaves,
580
00:20:05,360 –> 00:20:06,800
you’ll be all hip.
581
00:20:07,360 –> 00:20:08,640
Oh, and you know,
582
00:20:09,360 –> 00:20:09,840
I don’t know.
583
00:20:09,840 –> 00:20:11,800
I think they’re just giving it a test out.
584
00:20:11,800 –> 00:20:13,760
Like, so first 25,
585
00:20:13,760 –> 00:20:15,680
I think maybe just 25.
586
00:20:15,680 –> 00:20:17,840
We’ll see if they sell and then we’ll go.
587
00:20:18,000 –> 00:20:19,280
Great holiday gift.
588
00:20:19,680 –> 00:20:20,160
I was going to say.
589
00:20:20,160 –> 00:20:21,200
Yeah, that’s pretty cool,
590
00:20:21,200 –> 00:20:21,480
Charlie.
591
00:20:21,480 –> 00:20:22,000
I like that.
592
00:20:22,040 –> 00:20:22,720
I’ll order one.
593
00:20:23,000 –> 00:20:23,680
It’s hard.
594
00:20:23,800 –> 00:20:24,240
I’ll support.
595
00:20:24,560 –> 00:20:27,680
It’s hard to find a shirt for 25 bucks nowadays.
596
00:20:27,880 –> 00:20:28,880
That’s a really good price.
597
00:20:29,760 –> 00:20:32,120
And sweatshirts are probably about $100.
598
00:20:32,240 –> 00:20:32,920
Yes, they are.
599
00:20:32,920 –> 00:20:34,800
So if you got none of them got Le Duff.
600
00:20:37,120 –> 00:20:38,640
But yeah, as everybody knows,
601
00:20:38,640 –> 00:20:39,240
you know what
602
00:20:39,520 –> 00:20:41,560
We take whatever we get,
603
00:20:41,560 –> 00:20:42,720
whatever proceeds they are,
604
00:20:42,720 –> 00:20:48,600
and we put it in our charitable account and we just
605
00:20:48,600 –> 00:20:50,960
quietly try to help young people,
606
00:20:51,360 –> 00:20:52,080
get them going.
607
00:20:53,440 –> 00:20:56,720
Have you talked to our young man?
608
00:20:59,200 –> 00:21:00,560
Actually, I haven’t in a while.
609
00:21:00,560 –> 00:21:01,760
I thought about him the other day,
610
00:21:01,760 –> 00:21:02,960
so I may reach out to him.
611
00:21:02,960 –> 00:21:04,400
That’s a holiday and check on her.
612
00:21:04,640 –> 00:21:05,280
Yeah, me too.
613
00:21:05,280 –> 00:21:07,040
Because we got him that car and he blew it up.
614
00:21:07,040 –> 00:21:08,640
He got to Denver and blew it up.
615
00:21:08,640 –> 00:21:09,600
We got him a car.
616
00:21:09,600 –> 00:21:10,800
We got him a computer.
617
00:21:10,800 –> 00:21:14,200
We you got we got about we set him up to transition
618
00:21:14,200 –> 00:21:15,320
so he could continue to grow.
619
00:21:15,320 –> 00:21:16,400
We taught him to drive.
620
00:21:16,400 –> 00:21:18,160
We went to his driving test because,
621
00:21:18,160 –> 00:21:18,440
you know,
622
00:21:18,440 –> 00:21:19,360
and he left.
623
00:21:19,520 –> 00:21:20,240
He got out of here.
624
00:21:20,320 –> 00:21:20,800
He left.
625
00:21:20,800 –> 00:21:21,320
And that’s okay.
626
00:21:22,080 –> 00:21:22,200
Yeah.
627
00:21:22,200 –> 00:21:23,920
That’s it’s okay to grow.
628
00:21:24,080 –> 00:21:25,200
It really is okay to grow.
629
00:21:25,240 –> 00:21:26,400
It’s terrific to grow.
630
00:21:26,400 –> 00:21:27,120
And the, you know,
631
00:21:27,120 –> 00:21:27,640
the point is.
632
00:21:28,240 –> 00:21:32,720
there are flowers of humanity everywhere,
633
00:21:33,200 –> 00:21:35,360
and all they need is a little bit of watering,
634
00:21:36,080 –> 00:21:38,320
a little bit of loving sunshine,
635
00:21:38,640 –> 00:21:40,080
and we’re great people,
636
00:21:40,080 –> 00:21:40,480
so…
637
00:21:41,120 –> 00:21:43,520
But you have those opportunities all around,
638
00:21:43,520 –> 00:21:43,920
Charlie.
639
00:21:43,920 –> 00:21:46,280
If people would just kind of open up their eyes and
640
00:21:46,280 –> 00:21:48,400
see other people and respond.
641
00:21:48,640 –> 00:21:50,440
I saw two little girls the other day and they were
642
00:21:50,440 –> 00:21:51,240
in the gas station.
643
00:21:51,240 –> 00:21:54,360
They had like a dollar and about $5 worth of stuff
644
00:21:54,360 –> 00:21:55,280
and they kept taking it up.
645
00:21:55,280 –> 00:21:55,760
And the guy said,
646
00:21:55,760 –> 00:21:56,400
that’s too much.
647
00:21:56,400 –> 00:21:57,520
You know, you don’t have enough money.
648
00:21:57,520 –> 00:21:58,440
So I said,
649
00:21:58,440 –> 00:21:59,040
hold on.
650
00:21:59,040 –> 00:22:01,360
I remember what it’s like to be 10 years old and you
651
00:22:01,360 –> 00:22:03,440
want all this stuff and your money doesn’t match your
652
00:22:03,440 –> 00:22:04,040
desires.
653
00:22:04,040 –> 00:22:04,640
And I just,
654
00:22:04,920 –> 00:22:05,440
I said, here,
655
00:22:05,520 –> 00:22:05,920
you know,
656
00:22:05,920 –> 00:22:06,880
go have fun,
657
00:22:06,960 –> 00:22:07,520
ball out,
658
00:22:07,520 –> 00:22:09,920
buy the junk and just have a good day.
659
00:22:10,240 –> 00:22:11,000
Sometimes kids
660
00:22:11,160 –> 00:22:12,720
And other people just want to be seen.
661
00:22:12,720 –> 00:22:15,840
And, we need to get off of our phones and look at each
662
00:22:15,840 –> 00:22:17,160
other and respond accordingly.
663
00:22:17,160 –> 00:22:18,720
I agree.
664
00:22:18,800 –> 00:22:19,600
So look, I mean,
665
00:22:19,600 –> 00:22:20,480
that’s awesome.
666
00:22:20,800 –> 00:22:22,760

00:22:22,760 –> 00:22:25,240

00:24:42,000 –> 00:24:42,880
Shit, Karen’s…
738
00:24:44,560 –> 00:24:45,600
I set my alarms.
739
00:24:45,640 –> 00:24:46,400
She’s got a hard,
740
00:24:46,800 –> 00:24:47,400
hard out.
741
00:24:47,720 –> 00:24:48,800
She’s working lady.
742
00:24:49,600 –> 00:24:49,920
All right,
743
00:24:50,000 –> 00:24:53,840
speaking to young people of the city and the region,
744
00:24:53,840 –> 00:24:58,000
Karen, you got that little graph of ours?
745
00:24:58,640 –> 00:24:59,040
All right,
746
00:24:59,360 –> 00:25:00,400
here’s the latest.
747
00:25:01,280 –> 00:25:01,640
What’s it say?
748
00:25:01,640 –> 00:25:02,600
Because I can’t read it from here.
749
00:25:02,600 –> 00:25:05,520
Share of young adults who say they are likely to leave
750
00:25:05,520 –> 00:25:06,320
their current city.
751
00:25:06,320 –> 00:25:07,760
Very likely or likely.
752
00:25:07,920 –> 00:25:08,640
Now, Karen,
753
00:25:08,640 –> 00:25:10,640
we have a rule of thumb on this show.
754
00:25:11,440 –> 00:25:14,800
If there’s a list and it’s good,
755
00:25:15,680 –> 00:25:16,360
we’re lagging.
756
00:25:16,360 –> 00:25:17,480
And if it’s bad,
757
00:25:17,480 –> 00:25:18,720
you’ll see us at the top.
758
00:25:18,720 –> 00:25:20,080
Go ahead and give us the top five,
759
00:25:20,080 –> 00:25:20,480
Mark.
760
00:25:21,120 –> 00:25:22,640
Baltimore’s #1,
761
00:25:22,640 –> 00:25:23,160
Charlotte,
762
00:25:23,160 –> 00:25:24,320
North Carolina’s second,
763
00:25:24,480 –> 00:25:25,680
Miami is third,
764
00:25:25,680 –> 00:25:27,360
and Detroit is 4th,
765
00:25:27,360 –> 00:25:28,240
right above Atlanta.
766
00:25:29,040 –> 00:25:29,480
Fourth.
767
00:25:29,680 –> 00:25:29,840
Wow.
768
00:25:30,520 –> 00:25:31,520
Everybody wants to go.
769
00:25:32,400 –> 00:25:34,960
our schools are worse than Chicago’s,
770
00:25:35,520 –> 00:25:36,360
our public schools,
771
00:25:36,840 –> 00:25:37,680
and the achievement.
772
00:25:37,920 –> 00:25:39,120
All you hear is about Chicago,
773
00:25:39,120 –> 00:25:42,080
but you don’t hear anything real.
774
00:25:42,080 –> 00:25:46,080
Let me tell you what happened to me two days ago.
775
00:25:46,240 –> 00:25:48,400
I got a call from a reporter in London.
776
00:25:49,280 –> 00:25:50,080
Hello, mate,
777
00:25:50,320 –> 00:25:50,640
right?
778
00:25:51,600 –> 00:25:54,320
Is flying into Detroit to do a story on Doug and maybe
779
00:25:54,320 –> 00:25:57,440
something to the effect that he’s good enough to be
780
00:25:57,440 –> 00:25:59,280
in the presidential cabinet.
781
00:26:00,200 –> 00:26:00,720
And I said,
782
00:26:01,840 –> 00:26:02,920
so what are your plan?
783
00:26:02,920 –> 00:26:04,720
She goes, I’ll fly in the morning.
784
00:26:04,960 –> 00:26:07,920
I’m interviewing him at 3.30 and then I’m leaving.
785
00:26:08,640 –> 00:26:09,880
So I just wanted to get your take.
786
00:26:09,880 –> 00:26:10,400
And I said,
787
00:26:10,560 –> 00:26:12,960
well, at 2 o’clock is this city council meeting.
788
00:26:13,120 –> 00:26:16,640
So you could meet a gaggle of people who aren’t happy.
789
00:26:17,520 –> 00:26:19,920
You could ask me about homicide.
790
00:26:20,160 –> 00:26:20,960
Once you see that,
791
00:26:20,960 –> 00:26:21,840
then we can talk.
792
00:26:22,320 –> 00:26:23,440
Never heard from her.
793
00:26:25,520 –> 00:26:26,440
that’s your signal.
794
00:26:27,080 –> 00:26:29,680
But that’s because people buy into,
795
00:26:30,480 –> 00:26:32,320
just the whole frenzy.
796
00:26:32,480 –> 00:26:38,240
People are so anxious for Detroit to be the way that
797
00:26:38,240 –> 00:26:39,760
it has been presented.
798
00:26:40,320 –> 00:26:44,800
that they choose to ignore the factors that may challenge
799
00:26:44,800 –> 00:26:45,520
that narrative.
800
00:26:46,080 –> 00:26:47,280
I mean, I find that around here,
801
00:26:47,280 –> 00:26:48,360
people in the media,
802
00:26:48,360 –> 00:26:49,280
the business community,
803
00:26:49,440 –> 00:26:50,720
if, everybody,
804
00:26:50,800 –> 00:26:55,520
I was looking at it after the announcement for Sheffield
805
00:26:55,720 –> 00:26:56,400
and everybody says,
806
00:26:56,400 –> 00:26:57,840
oh, this is the best ever.
807
00:26:58,160 –> 00:27:01,560
These same people say that every reelection,
808
00:27:01,560 –> 00:27:03,200
no matter who the mayor is.
809
00:27:03,520 –> 00:27:04,600
So remember,
810
00:27:04,600 –> 00:27:06,760
Charlie, at one time people were doing the flyovers,
811
00:27:06,760 –> 00:27:07,720
they come in and,
812
00:27:07,720 –> 00:27:07,880
you know,
813
00:27:07,880 –> 00:27:08,720
they were talking about,
814
00:27:08,720 –> 00:27:09,040
you know,
815
00:27:09,040 –> 00:27:09,600
the whole
816
00:27:10,680 –> 00:27:11,960
Brewing porn and,
817
00:27:11,960 –> 00:27:13,960
but they didn’t know anybody here.
818
00:27:13,960 –> 00:27:16,040
Remember Time bought that house and they were supposed
819
00:27:16,040 –> 00:27:17,680
to have reporters to stay here,
820
00:27:18,400 –> 00:27:19,520
but they don’t know.
821
00:27:19,560 –> 00:27:21,360
And they ask people that don’t know.
822
00:27:22,160 –> 00:27:22,880
They don’t know.
823
00:27:23,040 –> 00:27:24,680
Time Magazine,
824
00:27:24,680 –> 00:27:26,000
remember they had during the bankruptcy,
825
00:27:26,000 –> 00:27:27,600
like bought a house in Detroit.
826
00:27:28,080 –> 00:27:29,200
I didn’t know this.
827
00:27:29,520 –> 00:27:31,320
That way they could be on the ground and,
828
00:27:31,520 –> 00:27:31,920
you know,
829
00:27:31,920 –> 00:27:33,000
really getting a close look.
830
00:27:33,000 –> 00:27:35,280
And all they did was steal our stories.
831
00:27:35,280 –> 00:27:37,280
It was perfunctory.
832
00:27:37,280 –> 00:27:38,880
Did anyone ever stay there?
833
00:27:39,200 –> 00:27:39,440
No.
834
00:27:39,774 –> 00:27:41,254
What’s happened to the house since?
835
00:27:41,254 –> 00:27:41,734
Any idea?
836
00:27:41,894 –> 00:27:43,054
It’s probably still standing,
837
00:27:43,054 –> 00:27:44,214
but time’s teetering.
838
00:27:46,774 –> 00:27:48,774
Just it’s known as parachute journalism.
839
00:27:48,774 –> 00:27:52,054
It’s like you’re just going to do the Google clips,
840
00:27:52,534 –> 00:27:54,054
come in, touch your foot down,
841
00:27:54,134 –> 00:27:54,614
Dateline,
842
00:27:54,614 –> 00:27:55,174
Detroit.
843
00:27:55,494 –> 00:27:57,014
It’s not doing us any good.
844
00:27:57,174 –> 00:27:58,254
Washington Post,
845
00:27:58,374 –> 00:27:59,494
Wall Street Journal,
846
00:28:00,774 –> 00:28:01,814
you’re bullshit.
847
00:28:02,374 –> 00:28:02,694
Just
848
00:28:03,374 –> 00:28:03,854
But Charlie,
849
00:28:03,854 –> 00:28:04,694
that’s even some,
850
00:28:04,694 –> 00:28:05,494
I hate to say it,
851
00:28:05,494 –> 00:28:07,494
but even I’ve seen some of our local folks,
852
00:28:07,654 –> 00:28:09,054
they are just,
853
00:28:09,054 –> 00:28:10,214
they want to,
854
00:28:10,454 –> 00:28:12,854
they want approval and they’re buying into the narrative.
855
00:28:12,854 –> 00:28:13,254
They don’t,
856
00:28:13,494 –> 00:28:16,214
there’s some things that are such glaring questions
857
00:28:16,214 –> 00:28:19,894
when a statement is made or something is announced
858
00:28:20,254 –> 00:28:21,174
and nobody,
859
00:28:21,574 –> 00:28:22,494
nobody’s thinking,
860
00:28:22,494 –> 00:28:23,494
nobody’s asking,
861
00:28:23,494 –> 00:28:24,774
nobody’s challenging.
862
00:28:25,014 –> 00:28:25,654
And you know,
863
00:28:25,694 –> 00:28:26,094
people say,
864
00:28:26,094 –> 00:28:26,574
oh, well,
865
00:28:26,574 –> 00:28:26,854
you know,
866
00:28:26,854 –> 00:28:27,414
we, you know,
867
00:28:27,414 –> 00:28:28,214
you’re just,
868
00:28:28,214 –> 00:28:30,374
you’re not being fair or you’re being critical.
869
00:28:30,614 –> 00:28:32,894
No, I’m thinking critically and I like
870
00:28:32,974 –> 00:28:35,854
the whole picture so I can decide how I want to respond.
871
00:28:36,534 –> 00:28:37,374
That’s not happening.
872
00:28:37,374 –> 00:28:38,494
There is some hope because,
873
00:28:38,494 –> 00:28:40,054
on the way to city council,
874
00:28:40,054 –> 00:28:41,414
I ran into Sam Robinson,
875
00:28:41,974 –> 00:28:42,694
young go-getter.
876
00:28:42,974 –> 00:28:46,574
And he was going off on the WNBA franchise,
877
00:28:46,574 –> 00:28:47,174
going to be here.
878
00:28:47,174 –> 00:28:49,174
Maybe it’s going to be called the Detroit Shock,
879
00:28:49,414 –> 00:28:52,094
even though somebody else has the trademark.
880
00:28:52,094 –> 00:28:55,134
And he was all rabid about it.
881
00:28:55,134 –> 00:28:57,374
And then he’s going to go up there and check out the
882
00:28:57,374 –> 00:28:58,374
demo stuff.
883
00:28:58,414 –> 00:28:59,334
And I looked at him.
884
00:28:59,334 –> 00:29:00,774
I said, you know,
885
00:29:00,774 –> 00:29:02,294
this is the kind of town we’re a.
886
00:29:02,934 –> 00:29:05,814
young man in the journalism business can make his bones.
887
00:29:06,174 –> 00:29:08,214
And then off he ran to do his thing.
888
00:29:08,214 –> 00:29:12,334
So that’s kind of the attitude you need if you want
889
00:29:12,334 –> 00:29:13,494
to serve the public,
890
00:29:13,494 –> 00:29:15,974
I think, in the reporting world.
891
00:29:17,014 –> 00:29:17,734
Let us hope so,
892
00:29:17,734 –> 00:29:18,214
Charlie.
893
00:29:18,534 –> 00:29:19,094
Just remember,
894
00:29:19,094 –> 00:29:19,894
everybody,
895
00:29:21,654 –> 00:29:22,854
Midnight Michael,
896
00:29:22,854 –> 00:29:24,894
the Wizard of Woodward,
897
00:29:24,894 –> 00:29:28,374
Duggan, wants to take this governing style and take
898
00:29:28,374 –> 00:29:29,574
the reins of the public
899
00:29:30,494 –> 00:29:33,174
slay with all the money in it but I’m just letting
900
00:29:33,174 –> 00:29:36,774
you know we’ll stay so for all Karen’s friends no
901
00:29:36,774 –> 00:29:43,174
no no no no no everybody gets equal treatment Bing
902
00:29:43,974 –> 00:29:50,454
Duggan Snyder Whitmer Granholm all of them yeah all
903
00:29:50,454 –> 00:29:52,374
man you’re you’re in the public seat
904
00:29:53,374 –> 00:29:54,694
It’s just about accountability,
905
00:29:54,694 –> 00:29:55,174
Charlie.
906
00:29:55,254 –> 00:29:57,454
I mean, and everybody should demand accountability.
907
00:29:57,454 –> 00:30:00,334
When you sit back and see that you don’t have the things
908
00:30:00,334 –> 00:30:02,694
that you’ve been promised or the things that you deserve
909
00:30:03,734 –> 00:30:07,294
from your elected officials and the places where you
910
00:30:07,294 –> 00:30:08,294
pay your taxes,
911
00:30:08,694 –> 00:30:09,894
it’s just about accountability.
912
00:30:10,294 –> 00:30:10,774
That’s it.
913
00:30:10,934 –> 00:30:12,774
Well, who’s accountable for these fucking roads?
914
00:30:12,934 –> 00:30:14,214
Like every.
915
00:30:14,774 –> 00:30:16,974
Every rd’s got like a lane closed,
916
00:30:16,974 –> 00:30:18,374
okay, for half a mile,
917
00:30:18,374 –> 00:30:19,454
the right side of it’s closed,
918
00:30:19,454 –> 00:30:20,414
then the left side of it,
919
00:30:20,414 –> 00:30:22,294
like every Rd.
920
00:30:22,574 –> 00:30:23,654
every highway.
921
00:30:23,854 –> 00:30:25,654
What idiot came up with this?
922
00:30:26,454 –> 00:30:29,174
The same idiot that came up with the roundabouts and
923
00:30:29,174 –> 00:30:31,814
the same idiot that’s putting these bus stops in the
924
00:30:31,814 –> 00:30:33,814
middle of our main thoroughfares,
925
00:30:33,814 –> 00:30:34,614
like Jefferson.
926
00:30:34,774 –> 00:30:35,134
It’s like,
927
00:30:35,134 –> 00:30:36,054
what is this?
928
00:30:36,054 –> 00:30:36,894
They’ve got those big,
929
00:30:37,214 –> 00:30:37,974
even on Kirchimal,
930
00:30:37,974 –> 00:30:40,694
they got those big blocks that there’s a thing.
931
00:30:40,694 –> 00:30:42,774
I don’t know who’s doing this.
932
00:30:42,854 –> 00:30:43,294
It’s like,
933
00:30:43,294 –> 00:30:43,654
I don’t know,
934
00:30:43,654 –> 00:30:44,614
but it doesn’t make any sense.
935
00:30:45,254 –> 00:30:47,614
And a bike lane on Woodward.
936
00:30:47,614 –> 00:30:49,174
So for those of you living,
937
00:30:49,174 –> 00:30:50,174
out of state,
938
00:30:50,174 –> 00:30:50,694
you don’t know,
939
00:30:50,934 –> 00:30:51,974
it’s a highway.
940
00:30:52,614 –> 00:30:53,654
It’s Michigan’s first,
941
00:30:53,654 –> 00:30:54,374
it’s a highway.
942
00:30:54,374 –> 00:30:56,694
I don’t want to ride a bike on a highway.
943
00:30:57,014 –> 00:31:00,054
And they’ve got two way lanes on both sides.
944
00:31:00,214 –> 00:31:02,134
So when you’re trying to turn right,
945
00:31:02,534 –> 00:31:05,334
you’re not looking right.
946
00:31:06,774 –> 00:31:09,654
I’ve never seen a bike in those bike lanes.
947
00:31:09,694 –> 00:31:12,174
And I traverse Woodward a lot,
948
00:31:12,174 –> 00:31:14,134
a lot from where I live down here.
949
00:31:14,854 –> 00:31:15,974
Never, seen a bike.
950
00:31:15,974 –> 00:31:17,734
I’m going to start riding it.
951
00:31:18,214 –> 00:31:21,734
Okay, load up XG while we say goodbye to Karen.
952
00:31:21,814 –> 00:31:22,054
All right.
953
00:31:22,774 –> 00:31:23,654
That’s your alarm,
954
00:31:23,654 –> 00:31:24,134
Karen.
955
00:31:24,894 –> 00:31:25,574
Bye, Karen.
956
00:31:25,654 –> 00:31:26,094
Love you.
957
00:31:26,094 –> 00:31:27,254
Give me a call later.
958
00:31:27,334 –> 00:31:28,854
But don’t call me on the weekend.
959
00:31:29,654 –> 00:31:30,374
I won’t love you,
960
00:31:30,534 –> 00:31:30,854
darling.
961
00:31:30,854 –> 00:31:31,494
Bye, Mark.
962
00:31:31,654 –> 00:31:31,934
See you.
963
00:31:32,254 –> 00:31:32,454
Bye.
964
00:31:32,774 –> 00:31:33,254
Well, you know,
965
00:31:33,254 –> 00:31:33,814
when it rains,
966
00:31:33,814 –> 00:31:34,734
the power goes out.
967
00:31:34,734 –> 00:31:36,014
And when the power goes out,
968
00:31:36,014 –> 00:31:36,974
the internet goes out.
969
00:31:36,974 –> 00:31:37,974
When the internet goes out,
970
00:31:37,974 –> 00:31:41,174
I call my friend Matt and Bernie at XG Service Group.
971
00:31:41,334 –> 00:31:43,174
Look at Bernie here on his hands and knees,
972
00:31:43,414 –> 00:31:44,694
giving it everything he’s got.
973
00:31:45,254 –> 00:31:46,534
Look at that man crack.
974
00:31:46,774 –> 00:31:47,654
So busy.
975
00:31:48,334 –> 00:31:49,334
He forgot to wear a belt.
976
00:31:49,334 –> 00:31:51,414
There’s Matt right there getting the board together.
977
00:31:51,414 –> 00:31:54,134
That’s 734-245-4100.
978
00:31:54,134 –> 00:31:56,934
If you need Matt and Bernie to come take care of your
979
00:31:56,934 –> 00:31:57,974
voice over internet,
980
00:31:58,134 –> 00:31:59,254
your security cameras,
981
00:31:59,494 –> 00:32:01,094
off-campus access control,
982
00:32:01,334 –> 00:32:03,694
Wi-Fi and cameras for homes and business,
983
00:32:03,694 –> 00:32:04,854
they’ll design it for you.
984
00:32:05,094 –> 00:32:05,894
You got restaurants,
985
00:32:05,894 –> 00:32:07,094
they do drive-thru systems,
986
00:32:07,094 –> 00:32:08,854
railroad cameras for public safety.
987
00:32:09,094 –> 00:32:12,374
Total wireless camera systems for your home and business.
988
00:32:12,614 –> 00:32:13,094
Yeah, that’s right,
989
00:32:13,094 –> 00:32:16,774
call XG Services at 734-245-4100.
990
00:32:19,494 –> 00:32:19,974
Hit me.
991
00:32:22,294 –> 00:32:35,854
I just wanted to do that because we just talk about
992
00:32:35,854 –> 00:32:37,014
everybody’s an asshole.
993
00:32:38,214 –> 00:32:38,614
Hit me.
994
00:32:38,854 –> 00:32:39,894
It’s also catchy.
995
00:32:51,414 –> 00:32:55,574
That famous Diddy was created by Bill Arnold of One
996
00:32:55,574 –> 00:32:56,294
Ton Trowley.
997
00:32:57,094 –> 00:32:57,854
Great band.
998
00:32:57,974 –> 00:32:58,454
Good guy.
999
00:32:58,614 –> 00:32:59,414
Just look them up.
1000
00:32:59,574 –> 00:33:00,854
They’re excellent musicians.
1001
00:33:01,014 –> 00:33:01,414
Hit me.
1002
00:33:14,894 –> 00:33:15,414
I will admit,
1003
00:33:15,414 –> 00:33:17,254
I will walk around and sing that to myself.
1004
00:33:17,254 –> 00:33:18,294
It’s a very catchy tune.
1005
00:33:18,534 –> 00:33:19,254
It is.
1006
00:33:19,494 –> 00:33:21,334
That guy’s just super talented.
1007
00:33:21,494 –> 00:33:21,894
So, you know,
1008
00:33:21,894 –> 00:33:24,374
just speaking of Law and Order,
1009
00:33:24,454 –> 00:33:25,334
I wasn’t going to say this,
1010
00:33:25,334 –> 00:33:28,614
but let me bring this up before we get into our last
1011
00:33:29,014 –> 00:33:30,134
little news segment here.
1012
00:33:31,174 –> 00:33:33,734
Do you remember it was six months ago,
1013
00:33:33,734 –> 00:33:41,894
six, six months ago today that I
1014
00:33:43,174 –> 00:33:46,694
Send in a Freedom of Information request for the nursing
1015
00:33:46,694 –> 00:33:47,174
homes.
1016
00:33:47,574 –> 00:33:48,334
Oh, that’s right,
1017
00:33:48,334 –> 00:33:48,774
yeah.
1018
00:33:48,814 –> 00:33:50,134
When in 2020,
1019
00:33:50,214 –> 00:33:53,014
the Department of Justice asked for a response from
1020
00:33:53,014 –> 00:33:53,734
5 governors,
1021
00:33:53,734 –> 00:33:55,014
including Governor Whitmer,
1022
00:33:55,654 –> 00:33:56,694
about her response,
1023
00:33:56,694 –> 00:33:57,414
her data,
1024
00:33:57,574 –> 00:33:58,294
et cetera,
1025
00:33:58,534 –> 00:33:59,414
in the nursing homes.
1026
00:33:59,414 –> 00:34:02,854
Were elderly people’s civil rights violated through
1027
00:34:02,854 –> 00:34:06,654
the executive order of commingling healthy and infected
1028
00:34:06,654 –> 00:34:07,894
old people in the same building,
1029
00:34:07,894 –> 00:34:09,494
which in retrospect is dumb,
1030
00:34:09,654 –> 00:34:10,374
and Whitmer
1031
00:34:10,854 –> 00:34:11,814
admits it’s dumb now.
1032
00:34:12,054 –> 00:34:12,694
It’s weird.
1033
00:34:12,854 –> 00:34:13,494
It was dumb.
1034
00:34:13,654 –> 00:34:14,534
The data was bad.
1035
00:34:14,614 –> 00:34:15,494
There was no data.
1036
00:34:16,054 –> 00:34:19,014
Well, I asked six months ago for all communications
1037
00:34:19,014 –> 00:34:19,654
documents,
1038
00:34:19,814 –> 00:34:21,254
the stuff you actually sent.
1039
00:34:21,414 –> 00:34:24,694
I want to know what you knew and what you did and what
1040
00:34:24,694 –> 00:34:28,894
you told the feds and how cavalierly or not you were
1041
00:34:28,894 –> 00:34:29,734
looking at this thing.
1042
00:34:31,014 –> 00:34:32,694
Then they got to me and said,
1043
00:34:32,694 –> 00:34:37,254
it’s going to cost $3,147.80 to which I sent.
1044
00:34:38,294 –> 00:34:39,094
I haven’t looked it up.
1045
00:34:39,094 –> 00:34:40,374
I’ll let you know soon.
1046
00:34:40,934 –> 00:34:42,134
If that check’s been cashed,
1047
00:34:42,134 –> 00:34:43,334
I’m quite sure it has been.
1048
00:34:43,894 –> 00:34:47,974
And they told me they need an extension,
1049
00:34:48,774 –> 00:34:51,654
90 days, 90 business days,
1050
00:34:51,974 –> 00:34:53,574
right, which is like 130 days.
1051
00:34:53,614 –> 00:34:54,934
And then it was due.
1052
00:34:55,254 –> 00:34:57,734
And then they said they needed another month,
1053
00:34:58,414 –> 00:34:59,254
which I gave,
1054
00:35:00,534 –> 00:35:01,574
and it’s still nothing.
1055
00:35:02,374 –> 00:35:04,534
So be warned.
1056
00:35:05,294 –> 00:35:06,294
I’m going to get that.
1057
00:35:07,174 –> 00:35:09,574
And if I don’t get that soon,
1058
00:35:10,854 –> 00:35:12,294
I’ll let you know what soon means.
1059
00:35:12,534 –> 00:35:14,854
It means like now I’m going to sue the fuck out of
1060
00:35:14,854 –> 00:35:15,334
you again.
1061
00:35:16,054 –> 00:35:17,174
I’m not fucking around.
1062
00:35:18,934 –> 00:35:20,054
Last time I did it,
1063
00:35:20,374 –> 00:35:21,894
no media joined me.
1064
00:35:22,374 –> 00:35:23,174
Nobody helped.
1065
00:35:23,894 –> 00:35:27,294
When I took Whitman to court and won for the data that
1066
00:35:27,294 –> 00:35:28,054
doesn’t exist,
1067
00:35:28,454 –> 00:35:29,414
none of them followed.
1068
00:35:30,214 –> 00:35:31,334
They didn’t care.
1069
00:35:32,134 –> 00:35:32,854
They don’t care.
1070
00:35:33,414 –> 00:35:33,974
I care.
1071
00:35:34,614 –> 00:35:36,134
So now if we got to,
1072
00:35:36,134 –> 00:35:39,014
if we got to make a fucking soap opera out of this,
1073
00:35:39,014 –> 00:35:39,414
we will.
1074
00:35:39,454 –> 00:35:40,374
What are you hiding?
1075
00:35:41,094 –> 00:35:43,254
What are you hiding?
1076
00:35:43,254 –> 00:35:43,654
Hit it.
1077
00:35:43,734 –> 00:35:45,494
I wasn’t ready.
1078
00:35:45,494 –> 00:35:45,814
Damn it.
1079
00:35:49,254 –> 00:35:49,934
Outrageous.
1080
00:35:57,334 –> 00:35:59,894
So if they don’t fulfill the request.
1081
00:36:00,614 –> 00:36:02,414
You have to sue them civilly.
1082
00:36:02,414 –> 00:36:04,374
I mean, there’s no criminal charge for not fulfilling.
1083
00:36:04,374 –> 00:36:06,454
I mean, if they cash the check and they keep filing
1084
00:36:06,454 –> 00:36:07,254
for extensions,
1085
00:36:07,254 –> 00:36:09,014
eventually there’s a deadline and you would think
1086
00:36:09,014 –> 00:36:10,294
that’s a criminal charge.
1087
00:36:10,654 –> 00:36:13,734
It’s the second oldest trick in the journalism book.
1088
00:36:13,734 –> 00:36:16,214
The oldest trick is to charge a lot.
1089
00:36:16,214 –> 00:36:18,134
Charge so much that we go away.
1090
00:36:18,174 –> 00:36:18,934
Well, it’s going to,
1091
00:36:18,934 –> 00:36:21,174
we got to redact names and addresses and it’s going
1092
00:36:21,174 –> 00:36:24,214
to take this many bad hours and you know,
1093
00:36:24,214 –> 00:36:26,134
you’re going to pay this much an hour.
1094
00:36:26,134 –> 00:36:26,494
And it’s like,
1095
00:36:26,494 –> 00:36:27,694
okay, I call you a bluff.
1096
00:36:27,894 –> 00:36:29,014
The second one is
1097
00:36:29,854 –> 00:36:30,854
They just stall.
1098
00:36:31,654 –> 00:36:34,774
And then the third one is they don’t give you all the
1099
00:36:34,774 –> 00:36:35,414
documents.
1100
00:36:35,414 –> 00:36:36,934
Yeah, or it’s heavily redacted,
1101
00:36:37,094 –> 00:36:37,254
yeah.
1102
00:36:37,254 –> 00:36:39,254
Or like stuff’s missing,
1103
00:36:39,254 –> 00:36:42,694
like happened with Nestle and Kornak,
1104
00:36:42,774 –> 00:36:43,494
the treasurer,
1105
00:36:43,574 –> 00:36:44,534
stuff was missing.
1106
00:36:44,774 –> 00:36:46,854
But I’m just going to let you know,
1107
00:36:47,014 –> 00:36:48,534
I’ve already got a bunch of documents.
1108
00:36:48,534 –> 00:36:50,934
They better be in there or you’re a violation of the
1109
00:36:50,934 –> 00:36:51,254
law.
1110
00:36:51,494 –> 00:36:52,534
What does that get you?
1111
00:36:53,414 –> 00:36:54,294
Not a whole lot.
1112
00:36:55,094 –> 00:36:56,214
It’s like Swiss cheese,
1113
00:36:56,214 –> 00:36:56,774
this foil.
1114
00:36:56,774 –> 00:36:57,974
There’s so many,
1115
00:36:58,534 –> 00:36:58,854
you know,
1116
00:36:59,374 –> 00:37:01,374
quagmires that they can just suck you in.
1117
00:37:01,374 –> 00:37:01,974
And it’s like,
1118
00:37:02,294 –> 00:37:03,094
okay, I’m good.
1119
00:37:03,814 –> 00:37:04,614
I’m good to go.
1120
00:37:04,694 –> 00:37:05,334
And again,
1121
00:37:06,854 –> 00:37:08,454
people are so upset.
1122
00:37:08,454 –> 00:37:10,774
You know, just people I deal with,
1123
00:37:10,814 –> 00:37:11,974
whistleblowers,
1124
00:37:12,454 –> 00:37:16,294
like they just come down like an avalanche on me.
1125
00:37:16,294 –> 00:37:16,774
And I’m like,
1126
00:37:17,014 –> 00:37:18,134
if it’s corrupt,
1127
00:37:18,214 –> 00:37:18,774
it’s just,
1128
00:37:19,094 –> 00:37:21,654
again, it’s like football practice.
1129
00:37:21,654 –> 00:37:23,094
You got to run through the tires.
1130
00:37:23,134 –> 00:37:24,134
And if you trip,
1131
00:37:24,134 –> 00:37:25,254
you got to get up and run through,
1132
00:37:25,254 –> 00:37:28,174
then the coach makes you do it again and again and
1133
00:37:28,174 –> 00:37:28,614
again.
1134
00:37:29,574 –> 00:37:31,254
But if you want the fucking answer,
1135
00:37:31,414 –> 00:37:32,214
get up.
1136
00:37:32,974 –> 00:37:34,454
That’s what made a good football player.
1137
00:37:34,454 –> 00:37:34,574
Yep.
1138
00:37:34,574 –> 00:37:36,134
And the clock eventually hit zero,
1139
00:37:36,134 –> 00:37:37,734
so they’re going to have to eventually.
1140
00:37:38,054 –> 00:37:38,774
They take a while.
1141
00:37:39,254 –> 00:37:41,934
No, this game is not like football.
1142
00:37:42,254 –> 00:37:43,894
What’s the only major sport there?
1143
00:37:43,894 –> 00:37:44,494
is no clock.
1144
00:37:45,134 –> 00:37:45,654
A baseball.
1145
00:37:45,694 –> 00:37:46,254
That’s right.
1146
00:37:46,254 –> 00:37:47,574
So what are we in the 50th inning?
1147
00:37:47,814 –> 00:37:48,374
Yeah, right.
1148
00:37:48,374 –> 00:37:48,854
It’s yeah.
1149
00:37:49,574 –> 00:37:50,614
I love sports analogies.
1150
00:37:50,614 –> 00:37:51,494
It’s a classic.
1151
00:37:53,734 –> 00:37:55,654
But there’s no there’s no reliever here.
1152
00:37:57,494 –> 00:37:58,574
I think they can wear you out.
1153
00:37:58,854 –> 00:37:59,734
So bring it.
1154
00:37:59,734 –> 00:38:02,454
Now, everybody seems to know everything.
1155
00:38:02,534 –> 00:38:03,174
Did you see?
1156
00:38:03,734 –> 00:38:04,214
Of course you did,
1157
00:38:04,214 –> 00:38:05,494
because I sent it to you last night.
1158
00:38:05,494 –> 00:38:06,454
So we need a further show.
1159
00:38:06,454 –> 00:38:10,214
Did you see that Border Patrol?
1160
00:38:11,094 –> 00:38:13,094
Hold on, don’t play it yet for those listening.
1161
00:38:13,734 –> 00:38:15,174
In Oak Park,
1162
00:38:15,414 –> 00:38:17,214
here’s a Border Patrol agent,
1163
00:38:18,454 –> 00:38:21,494
stun gunned a woman,
1164
00:38:21,814 –> 00:38:22,454
and then
1165
00:38:23,614 –> 00:38:24,214
Threw in the car.
1166
00:38:24,214 –> 00:38:26,574
Floppy body threw in the car like it was a kidnapping,
1167
00:38:26,574 –> 00:38:26,934
right?
1168
00:38:27,574 –> 00:38:27,934
All right,
1169
00:38:27,974 –> 00:38:28,294
play it.
1170
00:38:28,294 –> 00:38:29,134
That’s right.
1171
00:38:29,174 –> 00:38:29,894
Oh my god,
1172
00:38:29,894 –> 00:38:32,214
this man just like tased this woman.
1173
00:38:33,214 –> 00:38:34,014
Border Patrol.
1174
00:38:34,014 –> 00:38:34,054
Oh.
1175
00:38:35,894 –> 00:38:37,814
Oh boy.
1176
00:38:38,134 –> 00:38:38,934
Get in the car.
1177
00:38:39,694 –> 00:38:41,014
Damn, that’s fucked up.
1178
00:38:41,054 –> 00:38:45,174
Damn, that’s fucked up.
1179
00:38:45,254 –> 00:38:46,214
Damn, that’s fucked up.
1180
00:38:46,974 –> 00:38:49,014
It’s a little out of context.
1181
00:38:49,014 –> 00:38:50,214
I have no idea what happened before.
1182
00:38:50,214 –> 00:38:50,854
No, it’s fucked up.
1183
00:38:50,934 –> 00:38:53,174
That’s the context because it’s on the internet.
1184
00:38:53,814 –> 00:38:54,934
Oh, it’s fucked up.
1185
00:38:55,094 –> 00:38:55,534
Oh, damn.
1186
00:38:55,534 –> 00:38:56,854
And it went crazy,
1187
00:38:57,254 –> 00:38:57,654
right?
1188
00:38:58,134 –> 00:38:59,334
From people that don’t think.
1189
00:38:59,334 –> 00:39:02,374
Now, I told everybody that I was going to go out with
1190
00:39:02,454 –> 00:39:03,334
ice last week.
1191
00:39:03,334 –> 00:39:03,574
Yeah.
1192
00:39:04,054 –> 00:39:04,534
I did.
1193
00:39:06,294 –> 00:39:08,134
We’ll bring you the video next week,
1194
00:39:08,454 –> 00:39:08,854
right?
1195
00:39:09,374 –> 00:39:11,254
I’m writing a magazine story for somebody else,
1196
00:39:11,254 –> 00:39:13,134
but we’re bringing the video to our viewers in the
1197
00:39:13,134 –> 00:39:14,534
michiganenjoyer.com.
1198
00:39:14,694 –> 00:39:15,814
Enjoyer.com.
1199
00:39:16,054 –> 00:39:16,854
It’s a beautiful day.
1200
00:39:18,414 –> 00:39:21,374
And show you professional police work.
1201
00:39:21,374 –> 00:39:22,054
I’m just gonna show you.
1202
00:39:22,054 –> 00:39:24,294
Now, I know people.
1203
00:39:25,734 –> 00:39:27,814
You know, I live near Oak Park.
1204
00:39:28,294 –> 00:39:29,054
I know ICE,
1205
00:39:29,054 –> 00:39:29,974
I know Border Patrol,
1206
00:39:29,974 –> 00:39:30,534
I know the police.
1207
00:39:30,534 –> 00:39:33,414
Here’s what really happened.
1208
00:39:37,014 –> 00:39:38,454
Two Ecuador nationals,
1209
00:39:38,854 –> 00:39:39,174
right?
1210
00:39:40,934 –> 00:39:42,774
One who’s been ordered deported.
1211
00:39:44,454 –> 00:39:48,454
Another who’s wanted has a ice retainer.
1212
00:39:49,334 –> 00:39:50,134
Crimes committed.
1213
00:39:51,334 –> 00:39:51,974
They’re wanted.
1214
00:39:52,054 –> 00:39:56,534
They’re driving through Huntington Woods.
1215
00:39:57,534 –> 00:39:59,094
20 miles over the speed limit.
1216
00:39:59,814 –> 00:40:00,294
20.
1217
00:40:00,934 –> 00:40:02,574
that’s a cute little area,
1218
00:40:02,574 –> 00:40:02,814
right?
1219
00:40:02,814 –> 00:40:04,414
I also know that’s not an area.
1220
00:40:04,414 –> 00:40:06,614
You go one mile over the speed limit because they’re
1221
00:40:06,614 –> 00:40:07,174
going to get you.
1222
00:40:07,174 –> 00:40:09,014
Isn’t there a school right in the middle of it?
1223
00:40:09,014 –> 00:40:10,134
Yeah, right now in Scotia.
1224
00:40:10,214 –> 00:40:11,734
So you got people flying?
1225
00:40:12,054 –> 00:40:12,454
Yeah.
1226
00:40:12,454 –> 00:40:13,294
Unlicensed?
1227
00:40:13,294 –> 00:40:13,494
Yeah.
1228
00:40:13,734 –> 00:40:14,414
They get pulled.
1229
00:40:14,414 –> 00:40:15,174
Not a good thing.
1230
00:40:15,174 –> 00:40:19,014
They get pulled over by the police.
1231
00:40:19,414 –> 00:40:20,214
Where’s your license?
1232
00:40:22,814 –> 00:40:23,654
No, license.
1233
00:40:23,734 –> 00:40:24,854
A lot of names are given.
1234
00:40:26,654 –> 00:40:27,254
Eventually,
1235
00:40:27,734 –> 00:40:29,414
they find their Ecuadoran passports.
1236
00:40:31,094 –> 00:40:32,134
Put them in the computer,
1237
00:40:32,294 –> 00:40:32,774
bing.
1238
00:40:33,414 –> 00:40:34,614
Just to let you all know,
1239
00:40:35,014 –> 00:40:36,534
this isn’t a sanctuary state.
1240
00:40:36,934 –> 00:40:38,374
These aren’t sanctuary cities.
1241
00:40:39,014 –> 00:40:41,174
They do cooperate with the federal authorities.
1242
00:40:41,174 –> 00:40:41,894
They’re tied in.
1243
00:40:42,374 –> 00:40:43,494
Like the lean system,
1244
00:40:43,494 –> 00:40:44,774
the NCIC,
1245
00:40:44,774 –> 00:40:45,654
they’re all connected.
1246
00:40:46,614 –> 00:40:47,734
They come back as a hit.
1247
00:40:47,734 –> 00:40:49,734
Deportation order and a retainer.
1248
00:40:50,934 –> 00:40:52,614
So they call Border Patrol.
1249
00:40:53,334 –> 00:40:55,974
Yeah, because the local police are the ones that pulled
1250
00:40:55,974 –> 00:40:56,374
them over,
1251
00:40:56,374 –> 00:40:56,734
correct?
1252
00:40:56,934 –> 00:40:57,134
Yeah.
1253
00:40:57,654 –> 00:40:58,374
Pulled them over.
1254
00:40:58,374 –> 00:40:59,654
Oak Park Police or Huntington.
1255
00:41:00,014 –> 00:41:00,574
Doesn’t matter.
1256
00:41:01,214 –> 00:41:02,534
But whatever the municipality is,
1257
00:41:02,534 –> 00:41:02,774
right?
1258
00:41:02,854 –> 00:41:04,294
I believe it.
1259
00:41:05,014 –> 00:41:05,574
Well, look,
1260
00:41:06,374 –> 00:41:08,174
it was it was it was Huntington Woods.
1261
00:41:08,614 –> 00:41:08,934
Okay.
1262
00:41:10,814 –> 00:41:12,974
Which is borders Oak Park.
1263
00:41:12,974 –> 00:41:13,094
Yep.
1264
00:41:13,494 –> 00:41:13,774
Okay.
1265
00:41:14,134 –> 00:41:16,214
So they call Border Patrol.
1266
00:41:16,214 –> 00:41:17,014
This guy comes.
1267
00:41:17,494 –> 00:41:22,454
Now the police have handcuffed her in the front.
1268
00:41:23,614 –> 00:41:24,854
let me get rid of this.
1269
00:41:25,494 –> 00:41:25,974
She’s gone.
1270
00:41:26,294 –> 00:41:27,054
I have to remind her.
1271
00:41:27,054 –> 00:41:27,334
Sorry.
1272
00:41:27,494 –> 00:41:29,254
So she’s handcuffed in the front.
1273
00:41:29,254 –> 00:41:29,414
Yeah.
1274
00:41:30,294 –> 00:41:33,454
Dude who’s got a deportation order is handcuffed in
1275
00:41:33,454 –> 00:41:33,894
the back.
1276
00:41:35,654 –> 00:41:37,974
Agent, I’m assuming he’s alone.
1277
00:41:37,974 –> 00:41:40,134
It looked like it on the video.
1278
00:41:40,134 –> 00:41:41,974
Yeah, puts him in the back of the cart.
1279
00:41:42,694 –> 00:41:43,334
He’s driving.
1280
00:41:43,334 –> 00:41:45,574
All of a sudden he hears something.
1281
00:41:46,614 –> 00:41:47,534
Like it’s a telephone.
1282
00:41:48,214 –> 00:41:51,654
Like they’re using a phone to call somebody.
1283
00:41:52,134 –> 00:41:53,094
Pulls over the car.
1284
00:41:54,614 –> 00:41:56,854
He looks, can’t find a phone.
1285
00:41:58,974 –> 00:41:59,814
continues on.
1286
00:42:00,614 –> 00:42:01,734
Here’s the phone again,
1287
00:42:02,334 –> 00:42:02,694
okay?
1288
00:42:03,414 –> 00:42:04,454
Gets out of the car.
1289
00:42:04,774 –> 00:42:07,014
Now he’s gonna go over to the dude’s side and open
1290
00:42:07,014 –> 00:42:07,254
up.
1291
00:42:07,414 –> 00:42:10,374
The guy with the handcuffs behind him,
1292
00:42:11,014 –> 00:42:12,254
rams the door with his feet,
1293
00:42:12,254 –> 00:42:13,094
kicks the door,
1294
00:42:13,654 –> 00:42:14,934
knocks the agent over,
1295
00:42:15,174 –> 00:42:17,814
and starts fucking running through the neighborhood
1296
00:42:18,214 –> 00:42:19,454
with his hands behind his back,
1297
00:42:19,454 –> 00:42:20,054
handcuffed,
1298
00:42:20,054 –> 00:42:20,374
right?
1299
00:42:22,054 –> 00:42:22,934
As he turns,
1300
00:42:23,014 –> 00:42:27,494
the woman who’s got the cuffs in front jumps on his
1301
00:42:27,494 –> 00:42:28,134
back,
1302
00:42:29,094 –> 00:42:32,454
puts the chain around his neck and is choking him out.
1303
00:42:33,414 –> 00:42:34,294
Choking him out.
1304
00:42:34,614 –> 00:42:35,734
She’s on his back,
1305
00:42:35,974 –> 00:42:36,854
choking him out.
1306
00:42:37,814 –> 00:42:38,854
So he tases her.
1307
00:42:38,854 –> 00:42:39,654
I was going to say,
1308
00:42:39,934 –> 00:42:41,214
I would consider herself,
1309
00:42:41,214 –> 00:42:43,814
I would consider her lucky that she was just tased
1310
00:42:43,934 –> 00:42:44,614
at that point,
1311
00:42:44,614 –> 00:42:45,334
not shot.
1312
00:42:47,174 –> 00:42:47,894
There you go.
1313
00:42:47,974 –> 00:42:49,014
I guess the guy’s trained,
1314
00:42:49,014 –> 00:42:49,414
didn’t he?
1315
00:42:49,414 –> 00:42:49,654
Yeah.
1316
00:42:50,054 –> 00:42:51,014
So then,
1317
00:42:51,814 –> 00:42:53,174
my God, look what he’s doing.
1318
00:42:53,574 –> 00:42:54,774
No context.
1319
00:42:54,774 –> 00:42:54,974
No.
1320
00:42:55,094 –> 00:42:56,534
So it’s attempted murder.
1321
00:42:56,614 –> 00:42:58,214
It’s assault of a police officer.
1322
00:42:58,614 –> 00:42:59,174
Oh, and by the way,
1323
00:42:59,174 –> 00:42:59,894
side note,
1324
00:43:01,254 –> 00:43:02,854
if, ladies and gentlemen,
1325
00:43:03,814 –> 00:43:05,254
if you’re under arrest,
1326
00:43:06,054 –> 00:43:08,374
it’s, you don’t have a choice to get out of the car.
1327
00:43:08,694 –> 00:43:10,054
You have to get out of the car.
1328
00:43:10,334 –> 00:43:11,494
It’s required by law.
1329
00:43:12,214 –> 00:43:15,014
Also, Supreme Court case in the 70s,
1330
00:43:15,014 –> 00:43:16,774
Mims versus Pennsylvania.
1331
00:43:17,174 –> 00:43:18,454
If the officer
1332
00:43:20,374 –> 00:43:22,294
finds credible fear for his safety,
1333
00:43:22,294 –> 00:43:23,654
like you got tinted windows,
1334
00:43:24,134 –> 00:43:27,494
you are required to get out of the car for the office
1335
00:43:27,494 –> 00:43:27,894
of safety.
1336
00:43:27,894 –> 00:43:29,094
It’s not a question.
1337
00:43:29,414 –> 00:43:34,214
So when ICE is pulling somebody over and they know
1338
00:43:35,494 –> 00:43:36,374
there’s a warrant,
1339
00:43:36,454 –> 00:43:39,814
a retainer,
1340
00:43:42,494 –> 00:43:43,814
a deportation order,
1341
00:43:44,374 –> 00:43:45,494
you gotta get out of the car,
1342
00:43:46,534 –> 00:43:46,854
right?
1343
00:43:48,374 –> 00:43:49,094
If there’s
1344
00:43:50,934 –> 00:43:53,014
reasonable suspicion,
1345
00:43:53,654 –> 00:43:54,694
you got to get out of the car.
1346
00:43:55,654 –> 00:43:56,054
You can be,
1347
00:43:56,214 –> 00:43:57,654
we all as citizens,
1348
00:43:57,654 –> 00:43:57,974
right?
1349
00:43:59,174 –> 00:44:00,294
Smells like alcohol in here,
1350
00:44:00,294 –> 00:44:01,014
get out of the car.
1351
00:44:01,334 –> 00:44:01,694
Right?
1352
00:44:02,454 –> 00:44:03,814
There’s no warrant for my arrest.
1353
00:44:04,374 –> 00:44:05,414
And I get arrested.
1354
00:44:05,814 –> 00:44:06,694
That’s fascist.
1355
00:44:07,014 –> 00:44:08,374
That’s the way it works.
1356
00:44:08,614 –> 00:44:09,454
So, right.
1357
00:44:09,494 –> 00:44:09,814
Yeah.
1358
00:44:09,814 –> 00:44:11,374
Why isn’t the worst thing about this video?
1359
00:44:11,374 –> 00:44:11,734
Once again,
1360
00:44:11,734 –> 00:44:13,094
going back to the context,
1361
00:44:13,254 –> 00:44:16,934
this isn’t a Home Depot that got raided or a restaurant
1362
00:44:16,934 –> 00:44:17,494
that had,
1363
00:44:17,494 –> 00:44:17,814
you know,
1364
00:44:18,054 –> 00:44:18,974
because we’ve seen that.
1365
00:44:18,974 –> 00:44:21,014
And that’s what people are up in arms about.
1366
00:44:21,094 –> 00:44:23,494
You just see Border Patrol tasing somebody.
1367
00:44:23,814 –> 00:44:24,574
He was called in.
1368
00:44:24,574 –> 00:44:26,054
The local police did their job.
1369
00:44:26,214 –> 00:44:27,254
He’s doing his job.
1370
00:44:27,254 –> 00:44:29,374
I don’t understand why that’s so complex.
1371
00:44:29,374 –> 00:44:30,214
Do you know,
1372
00:44:30,214 –> 00:44:32,054
did they catch the guy that was running through the
1373
00:44:32,054 –> 00:44:32,454
neighborhood?
1374
00:44:32,694 –> 00:44:34,774
As of last night when I was talking to my source.
1375
00:44:35,494 –> 00:44:36,374
He hadn’t been.
1376
00:44:36,534 –> 00:44:37,254
Oh, really?
1377
00:44:37,254 –> 00:44:38,974
Yeah, that was over 24 hours.
1378
00:44:38,974 –> 00:44:42,694
So the guy’s got his shit cuff behind him and people
1379
00:44:42,694 –> 00:44:44,854
were upset that local authorities were helping.
1380
00:44:44,854 –> 00:44:46,134
Like, you know how it is up there.
1381
00:44:46,534 –> 00:44:48,054
You know, I don’t want to say libtards,
1382
00:44:48,054 –> 00:44:51,094
but because I’m law and order,
1383
00:44:51,094 –> 00:44:51,774
but you know what I mean?
1384
00:44:51,774 –> 00:44:52,894
I’m for civil rights.
1385
00:44:52,894 –> 00:44:54,374
You know, I’m the rude guy.
1386
00:44:54,454 –> 00:44:54,774
Of course.
1387
00:44:54,854 –> 00:44:57,974
But when you got a couple that’s been
1388
00:44:58,294 –> 00:44:59,654
ordered to be picked up,
1389
00:45:00,134 –> 00:45:03,254
choking out a cop and he’s running away with a phone
1390
00:45:03,254 –> 00:45:06,214
somewhere and his arms behind his back and you don’t
1391
00:45:06,214 –> 00:45:07,574
want the local authorities.
1392
00:45:08,054 –> 00:45:08,534
I got to tell you,
1393
00:45:08,694 –> 00:45:10,254
they’re kind of proving the point of why they don’t
1394
00:45:10,254 –> 00:45:11,014
need to be here,
1395
00:45:11,174 –> 00:45:11,374
right?
1396
00:45:11,374 –> 00:45:13,614
You’re choking out an officer and you’re running.
1397
00:45:13,614 –> 00:45:13,734
Yeah.
1398
00:45:13,974 –> 00:45:14,894
Get the fuck on.
1399
00:45:14,894 –> 00:45:15,014
Yeah.
1400
00:45:15,654 –> 00:45:16,854
See, you’re not complying.
1401
00:45:16,974 –> 00:45:17,094
Yeah.
1402
00:45:17,094 –> 00:45:20,774
The minute that they come in contact with immigration
1403
00:45:20,774 –> 00:45:21,254
authorities,
1404
00:45:21,734 –> 00:45:22,374
you’re gone.
1405
00:45:22,534 –> 00:45:22,694
Yeah.
1406
00:45:23,334 –> 00:45:24,294
That’s the law.
1407
00:45:24,294 –> 00:45:24,734
You’re just,
1408
00:45:24,774 –> 00:45:25,334
you’re gone.
1409
00:45:26,574 –> 00:45:27,734
You’re going to have your hearing,
1410
00:45:27,734 –> 00:45:28,294
I suppose.
1411
00:45:28,294 –> 00:45:32,054
But, just being arrested for a crime is enough.
1412
00:45:32,214 –> 00:45:32,774
Bang.
1413
00:45:32,934 –> 00:45:33,094
Yeah.
1414
00:45:33,734 –> 00:45:38,614
So while this maniacs running around their neighborhood
1415
00:45:38,854 –> 00:45:41,654
somewhere with his hands cupped behind his back,
1416
00:45:41,814 –> 00:45:42,614
there they are.
1417
00:45:42,934 –> 00:45:43,894
The cops are telling me.
1418
00:45:43,974 –> 00:45:44,134
Yeah.
1419
00:45:45,094 –> 00:45:46,694
It’s like an overweight white lady.
1420
00:45:47,174 –> 00:45:47,374
Yeah.
1421
00:45:48,214 –> 00:45:49,014
You’re fascist.
1422
00:45:49,494 –> 00:45:50,054
Like, okay,
1423
00:45:50,534 –> 00:45:51,254
overweight.
1424
00:45:51,734 –> 00:45:52,574
privileged,
1425
00:45:52,774 –> 00:45:53,734
well-to-do,
1426
00:45:53,894 –> 00:45:55,894
sheltered white lady that,
1427
00:45:55,974 –> 00:45:57,654
like, you never been anywhere.
1428
00:45:57,654 –> 00:45:59,414
You never been in the thick of shit.
1429
00:45:59,574 –> 00:46:00,774
You just got a big mouth.
1430
00:46:01,174 –> 00:46:03,414
And she’s videotaping these fascists,
1431
00:46:03,414 –> 00:46:03,654
right?
1432
00:46:04,134 –> 00:46:05,254
And the local police are like,
1433
00:46:05,254 –> 00:46:09,814
ma’am, they’re bringing in the bloodhounds and we
1434
00:46:09,814 –> 00:46:12,134
need the trail to be clean.
1435
00:46:12,774 –> 00:46:14,854
Because the point of him getting out of the car is
1436
00:46:14,974 –> 00:46:16,294
where the scent starts,
1437
00:46:16,454 –> 00:46:16,814
right?
1438
00:46:17,254 –> 00:46:18,774
So the officer was there,
1439
00:46:18,774 –> 00:46:20,134
the dog will smell him.
1440
00:46:20,374 –> 00:46:21,734
The dog will smell something else.
1441
00:46:21,894 –> 00:46:23,574
The dog will go after that trail.
1442
00:46:23,734 –> 00:46:24,534
And his ladies,
1443
00:46:25,014 –> 00:46:26,294
everybody’s contaminating it.
1444
00:46:26,334 –> 00:46:26,774
Walk, yeah,
1445
00:46:26,774 –> 00:46:28,054
contaminating the scene.
1446
00:46:28,774 –> 00:46:29,974
Like, get out of the way.
1447
00:46:30,054 –> 00:46:31,654
Just you can zoom on your camera,
1448
00:46:31,974 –> 00:46:33,094
step back 10 feet.
1449
00:46:33,334 –> 00:46:35,494
You can zoom if you really need to film for your clout.
1450
00:46:36,254 –> 00:46:37,774
Yeah, right for your for your clicks.
1451
00:46:38,014 –> 00:46:39,574
That’s what it’s what it’s always about.
1452
00:46:39,574 –> 00:46:40,454
Oh my God.
1453
00:46:40,534 –> 00:46:42,134
I think it’s always about clout and clicks.
1454
00:46:43,014 –> 00:46:46,294
So, some guy read in some report said,
1455
00:46:47,094 –> 00:46:49,414
I just wish the local authorities would stay out of
1456
00:46:49,414 –> 00:46:49,654
it.
1457
00:46:50,774 –> 00:46:51,134
I was like,
1458
00:46:51,134 –> 00:46:51,734
what if they do?
1459
00:46:52,374 –> 00:46:53,334
Remember, remember?
1460
00:46:53,894 –> 00:46:56,694
Okay, so when Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard
1461
00:46:56,694 –> 00:46:59,254
said, we’ve got South American gangs breaking into
1462
00:46:59,254 –> 00:46:59,974
your houses,
1463
00:47:00,774 –> 00:47:01,094
Right?
1464
00:47:01,174 –> 00:47:03,054
Do you want the local authorities not to deal with
1465
00:47:03,094 –> 00:47:03,214
it?
1466
00:47:03,334 –> 00:47:06,534
No, I want the people that know the area the best to
1467
00:47:06,534 –> 00:47:07,334
deal with stuff.
1468
00:47:07,334 –> 00:47:09,854
Okay, I want the local authorities to arrest them for
1469
00:47:09,854 –> 00:47:11,014
breaking into my house,
1470
00:47:11,174 –> 00:47:11,574
right?
1471
00:47:11,574 –> 00:47:11,894
Yeah.
1472
00:47:12,614 –> 00:47:13,454
Do you want them sent to,
1473
00:47:13,494 –> 00:47:16,534
you want them sent to prison or you want them sent
1474
00:47:16,534 –> 00:47:17,014
home?
1475
00:47:17,814 –> 00:47:19,174
Sent to prison and let out?
1476
00:47:19,254 –> 00:47:19,574
Yeah.
1477
00:47:20,334 –> 00:47:21,014
I mean, I don’t know,
1478
00:47:21,014 –> 00:47:21,334
man.
1479
00:47:22,214 –> 00:47:24,694
There’s, there’s a level of this and everybody knows,
1480
00:47:24,854 –> 00:47:25,574
like I said,
1481
00:47:26,054 –> 00:47:27,334
I got so many friends,
1482
00:47:27,334 –> 00:47:28,134
close friends.
1483
00:47:28,374 –> 00:47:29,494
They came in illegally.
1484
00:47:30,454 –> 00:47:31,374
generation ago.
1485
00:47:31,494 –> 00:47:33,734
There’s such a part of the fabric here.
1486
00:47:33,974 –> 00:47:35,734
Like, I’m not interested,
1487
00:47:36,374 –> 00:47:38,214
unless you’re a child rapist,
1488
00:47:38,414 –> 00:47:39,334
you’re a felon.
1489
00:47:39,334 –> 00:47:40,334
It’s common sense.
1490
00:47:40,334 –> 00:47:41,414
You got drunk and ransom.
1491
00:47:41,494 –> 00:47:41,774
Yeah.
1492
00:47:42,334 –> 00:47:44,574
And that’s the problem is that a lot of times the political
1493
00:47:44,574 –> 00:47:45,574
are so extreme.
1494
00:47:45,974 –> 00:47:46,854
Everyone needs to go.
1495
00:47:46,854 –> 00:47:47,414
No one gets,
1496
00:47:47,414 –> 00:47:48,574
no one, everyone gets to stay.
1497
00:47:48,574 –> 00:47:48,934
It’s like,
1498
00:47:48,934 –> 00:47:49,654
no, that’s not,
1499
00:47:49,814 –> 00:47:50,534
that’s not common sense.
1500
00:47:50,534 –> 00:47:51,894
Yeah, let’s be reasonable.
1501
00:47:51,894 –> 00:47:54,134
You know, like those that just came and are like this,
1502
00:47:54,134 –> 00:47:55,174
they’re first to go.
1503
00:47:55,574 –> 00:47:59,414
Those of you that came and you come across
1504
00:48:01,974 –> 00:48:02,774
The telegraph,
1505
00:48:02,854 –> 00:48:04,454
yeah, I don’t have a problem.
1506
00:48:04,494 –> 00:48:08,254
you didn’t have to commit a serious crime to be shipped
1507
00:48:08,254 –> 00:48:08,854
back home,
1508
00:48:09,254 –> 00:48:10,214
get back in line.
1509
00:48:10,374 –> 00:48:11,414
For those that have been here,
1510
00:48:11,974 –> 00:48:13,814
no, that’s come and gone,
1511
00:48:13,814 –> 00:48:14,134
dude.
1512
00:48:14,214 –> 00:48:14,454
Yeah.
1513
00:48:15,334 –> 00:48:16,414
Well, who’ll do the jobs?
1514
00:48:16,454 –> 00:48:18,974
And stop filming things out of context and posting
1515
00:48:19,054 –> 00:48:19,134
it.
1516
00:48:19,134 –> 00:48:20,294
I fucking hate it.
1517
00:48:20,294 –> 00:48:22,134
Well, they thought they knew their context.
1518
00:48:23,094 –> 00:48:24,534
They don’t.
1519
00:48:24,854 –> 00:48:26,134
She tried to choke them up.
1520
00:48:27,654 –> 00:48:28,134
Unreal.
1521
00:48:28,134 –> 00:48:29,494
I think the guy had a concussion.
1522
00:48:30,054 –> 00:48:31,094
Oh, the officer did?
1523
00:48:31,134 –> 00:48:32,534
Yeah, Should we watch it again?
1524
00:48:32,694 –> 00:48:33,454
Yeah, let’s watch it again.
1525
00:48:33,454 –> 00:48:33,974
Okay, now watch.
1526
00:48:34,534 –> 00:48:35,254
Stop, pause.
1527
00:48:35,254 –> 00:48:35,494
Yeah.
1528
00:48:35,734 –> 00:48:35,934
Okay.
1529
00:48:36,294 –> 00:48:37,294
See the handcuffs on her?
1530
00:48:37,694 –> 00:48:38,814
And just like take.
1531
00:48:39,174 –> 00:48:39,974
Yeah, right in front.
1532
00:48:40,054 –> 00:48:40,854
There they are.
1533
00:48:43,934 –> 00:48:44,694
And he’s got a gun.
1534
00:48:44,934 –> 00:48:45,494
So once again,
1535
00:48:45,494 –> 00:48:47,734
I’m going to be clear about this.
1536
00:48:47,974 –> 00:48:49,814
So I guess we can all figure out.
1537
00:48:51,174 –> 00:48:51,974
Fuck you.
1538
00:48:51,974 –> 00:48:53,094
She deserves to go.
1539
00:48:53,174 –> 00:48:53,414
Yeah.
1540
00:48:53,494 –> 00:48:54,534
You think otherwise?
1541
00:48:54,654 –> 00:48:55,054
I’m sorry.
1542
00:48:55,054 –> 00:48:55,734
I’m not with it.
1543
00:48:55,814 –> 00:48:56,454
Number two,
1544
00:48:56,614 –> 00:48:57,734
rake your freaking leaps.
1545
00:49:01,654 –> 00:49:02,614
It’s this woman.
1546
00:49:03,574 –> 00:49:04,454
Border Patrol.
1547
00:49:09,974 –> 00:49:11,534
Damn, that’s fucked up.
1548
00:49:13,134 –> 00:49:13,814
What’s fucked up?
1549
00:49:15,254 –> 00:49:16,094
Great question.
1550
00:49:16,094 –> 00:49:17,014
What that she choked on?
1551
00:49:17,014 –> 00:49:17,494
You don’t know that.
1552
00:49:17,574 –> 00:49:19,774
You don’t know that you didn’t even get out of your
1553
00:49:19,774 –> 00:49:20,814
car to film your drive.
1554
00:49:20,814 –> 00:49:21,814
It’s a drive-by film.
1555
00:49:21,894 –> 00:49:22,694
How close is that car?
1556
00:49:22,694 –> 00:49:23,254
Three feet,
1557
00:49:23,254 –> 00:49:23,774
four feet,
1558
00:49:23,774 –> 00:49:24,294
5 feet?
1559
00:49:25,014 –> 00:49:25,374
Really?
1560
00:49:25,374 –> 00:49:26,134
You’re doing that?
1561
00:49:27,294 –> 00:49:27,854
I’m surprised.
1562
00:49:27,854 –> 00:49:29,094
I’m surprised he’s by himself,
1563
00:49:29,094 –> 00:49:29,414
too.
1564
00:49:30,054 –> 00:49:31,094
Well, like sucks.
1565
00:49:31,094 –> 00:49:32,174
Yeah, you know,
1566
00:49:32,174 –> 00:49:33,414
I don’t have that for certain,
1567
00:49:33,414 –> 00:49:35,854
but I don’t see anybody else in the picture.
1568
00:49:35,854 –> 00:49:37,174
I know nobody in the past.
1569
00:49:37,334 –> 00:49:38,934
Maybe his partner’s running after dude.
1570
00:49:38,934 –> 00:49:39,374
That could be,
1571
00:49:39,374 –> 00:49:40,214
yeah, fair enough.
1572
00:49:40,294 –> 00:49:41,974
Something tells me I don’t think so.
1573
00:49:42,614 –> 00:49:42,734
Yep.
1574
00:49:47,374 –> 00:49:48,654
What you gonna do for the holidays then?
1575
00:49:49,174 –> 00:49:50,454
Oh man, this is,
1576
00:49:50,454 –> 00:49:51,094
you know,
1577
00:49:51,094 –> 00:49:52,454
me, this is my favorite week of the year.
1578
00:49:52,694 –> 00:49:53,014
Is it?
1579
00:49:53,014 –> 00:49:53,374
I didn’t.
1580
00:49:53,374 –> 00:49:54,534
Oh, more than Christmas.
1581
00:49:54,534 –> 00:49:55,294
What’s your middle name?
1582
00:49:55,334 –> 00:49:56,454
I actually don’t know you.
1583
00:49:56,934 –> 00:49:57,654
My middle name?
1584
00:49:57,654 –> 00:49:57,894
Yeah.
1585
00:49:58,054 –> 00:49:59,014
Wait, doxing me?
1586
00:49:59,174 –> 00:49:59,334
No.
1587
00:49:59,334 –> 00:50:01,014
Do I have Social Security number too?
1588
00:50:01,654 –> 00:50:02,534
I could get that.
1589
00:50:02,534 –> 00:50:04,294
You already have it for my 1099.
1590
00:50:04,414 –> 00:50:05,174
That’s right.
1591
00:50:05,454 –> 00:50:06,214
It’s Steven.
1592
00:50:06,214 –> 00:50:06,614
Why?
1593
00:50:06,934 –> 00:50:08,054
With a PH or a V?
1594
00:50:08,054 –> 00:50:08,534
V.
1595
00:50:08,934 –> 00:50:10,214
So it’s Nevitz backwards.
1596
00:50:11,294 –> 00:50:13,614
I don’t know what that has to do with anything.
1597
00:50:13,614 –> 00:50:14,134
Why is it?
1598
00:50:14,134 –> 00:50:17,814
Why is your middle name not spelled with a PH if your
1599
00:50:17,814 –> 00:50:19,174
first name spelled with a C?
1600
00:50:19,174 –> 00:50:20,174
I just too many.
1601
00:50:20,174 –> 00:50:20,614
I don’t know.
1602
00:50:20,694 –> 00:50:21,894
I don’t know.
1603
00:50:22,054 –> 00:50:23,094
Did I have a say in it?
1604
00:50:24,054 –> 00:50:25,334
Yeah, you want me to change it now?
1605
00:50:25,414 –> 00:50:26,814
That sounds like a whole thing.
1606
00:50:26,814 –> 00:50:27,934
I don’t want to go through all that.
1607
00:50:27,934 –> 00:50:29,494
No, but best week of the year.
1608
00:50:29,494 –> 00:50:30,294
Food and football,
1609
00:50:30,294 –> 00:50:30,694
man.
1610
00:50:31,174 –> 00:50:32,094
A lot of football.
1611
00:50:32,094 –> 00:50:33,174
Lions, Michigan,
1612
00:50:33,174 –> 00:50:34,054
Ohio State.
1613
00:50:34,614 –> 00:50:35,334
I’m going to that.
1614
00:50:35,414 –> 00:50:35,734
Are you?
1615
00:50:35,814 –> 00:50:37,014
Yeah, take it away there.
1616
00:50:37,094 –> 00:50:37,654
Are you really?
1617
00:50:37,654 –> 00:50:37,814
Yeah.
1618
00:50:38,134 –> 00:50:38,934
Afterwards,
1619
00:50:39,094 –> 00:50:41,294
like, what’s the best way to get there?
1620
00:50:41,294 –> 00:50:43,094
Because all the roads are fucked up.
1621
00:50:43,094 –> 00:50:45,654
You got a secret back way?
1622
00:50:45,654 –> 00:50:45,894
Yeah.
1623
00:50:46,134 –> 00:50:46,454
You do?
1624
00:50:47,334 –> 00:50:47,574
Okay.
1625
00:50:48,014 –> 00:50:50,494
And then is there parking over there?
1626
00:50:50,494 –> 00:50:51,254
Drew can hook you up.
1627
00:50:52,294 –> 00:50:53,094
You think he will?
1628
00:50:53,174 –> 00:50:53,814
Yeah, I think he will.
1629
00:50:54,374 –> 00:50:54,854
It’s my daughter.
1630
00:50:54,894 –> 00:50:55,334
It’s my daughter.
1631
00:50:55,334 –> 00:50:56,094
It’ll be good to see her.
1632
00:50:56,094 –> 00:50:56,934
I haven’t seen her.
1633
00:50:56,934 –> 00:50:59,174
Which would be great because,
1634
00:50:59,174 –> 00:50:59,414
you know,
1635
00:50:59,414 –> 00:51:02,774
I could have a few bevies because she can drive.
1636
00:51:03,494 –> 00:51:05,334
My 11 year old’s been bugging me to go to the game.
1637
00:51:05,334 –> 00:51:06,694
I’m going to wear a tie.
1638
00:51:06,694 –> 00:51:06,774
Why?
1639
00:51:07,174 –> 00:51:10,134
Because I don’t want to look like all you douchebags
1640
00:51:10,134 –> 00:51:11,854
with another man’s name on your back.
1641
00:51:11,854 –> 00:51:12,694
I don’t wear jerseys.
1642
00:51:13,254 –> 00:51:14,614
I actually take a bag.
1643
00:51:14,614 –> 00:51:15,454
I do wear,
1644
00:51:15,454 –> 00:51:16,694
but they don’t have nameplates on them.
1645
00:51:16,814 –> 00:51:17,734
What’s what number?
1646
00:51:18,374 –> 00:51:19,254
I have a 7.
1647
00:51:19,814 –> 00:51:20,454
Rick Leach.
1648
00:51:21,254 –> 00:51:23,174
I think at the time it might have been Henny.
1649
00:51:23,174 –> 00:51:24,294
That’s how old it is.
1650
00:51:25,014 –> 00:51:26,094
That’s how old I am.
1651
00:51:26,374 –> 00:51:27,094
Rick Lee.
1652
00:51:28,054 –> 00:51:28,774
Dennis Franklin.
1653
00:51:29,894 –> 00:51:31,014
20, Mike Hart.
1654
00:51:31,094 –> 00:51:32,294
I think that’s what that was for.
1655
00:51:32,294 –> 00:51:32,894
And then I have the old.
1656
00:51:32,894 –> 00:51:33,574
I love this comedy.
1657
00:51:35,574 –> 00:51:36,534
And then I have the old,
1658
00:51:37,254 –> 00:51:38,974
the throwback jersey everyone hates with the black
1659
00:51:38,974 –> 00:51:40,814
M on the front with the stripes on the sleeves.
1660
00:51:40,814 –> 00:51:41,974
Do you remember that one?
1661
00:51:42,294 –> 00:51:42,934
One game?
1662
00:51:42,934 –> 00:51:43,254
Yeah.
1663
00:51:44,214 –> 00:51:44,614
That’s it.
1664
00:51:44,774 –> 00:51:45,734
None of them have nameplates,
1665
00:51:45,734 –> 00:51:46,854
mainly because I’m cheap.
1666
00:51:47,574 –> 00:51:47,974
right?
1667
00:51:48,134 –> 00:51:49,894
And they’re only going to be there for three to four
1668
00:51:49,894 –> 00:51:50,174
years.
1669
00:51:50,174 –> 00:51:51,734
So I want to buy a new one.
1670
00:51:51,734 –> 00:51:52,454
Plus it’s name,
1671
00:51:52,454 –> 00:51:53,454
image, and likeness,
1672
00:51:53,454 –> 00:51:54,854
and I think it’s wrecking the game.
1673
00:51:54,854 –> 00:51:56,294
So, like, it’s not wrecking the game.
1674
00:51:56,614 –> 00:51:57,014
Okay.
1675
00:51:58,174 –> 00:51:59,974
Don’t have me go down that topic.
1676
00:51:59,974 –> 00:52:02,214
I mean, it’s better than it’s ever been.
1677
00:52:02,214 –> 00:52:03,254
There’s more parity.
1678
00:52:03,254 –> 00:52:04,614
Like the universities.
1679
00:52:04,614 –> 00:52:05,174
Yeah, there is.
1680
00:52:05,174 –> 00:52:06,294
That’s for sure.
1681
00:52:06,294 –> 00:52:08,534
But it was just an extracurricular.
1682
00:52:08,534 –> 00:52:11,494
Now, they own minor league football clubs.
1683
00:52:11,494 –> 00:52:12,294
I would agree with that.
1684
00:52:12,294 –> 00:52:12,614
Yeah.
1685
00:52:12,694 –> 00:52:13,734
It’s big business now.
1686
00:52:13,894 –> 00:52:16,614
And the fact that the labor didn’t get paid for the
1687
00:52:16,614 –> 00:52:17,214
longest time,
1688
00:52:17,214 –> 00:52:19,174
I think it’s kind of a civil rights issue,
1689
00:52:19,174 –> 00:52:19,734
if you ask me.
1690
00:52:20,134 –> 00:52:20,934
Didn’t it used to be?
1691
00:52:20,934 –> 00:52:24,614
It used to be like I could get a scholarship and get
1692
00:52:24,614 –> 00:52:25,814
an education and
1693
00:52:26,134 –> 00:52:26,454
Sure.
1694
00:52:26,574 –> 00:52:28,774
And play football and then it turned into a business.
1695
00:52:29,014 –> 00:52:29,334
Sure.
1696
00:52:29,334 –> 00:52:30,374
Well, remember there’s what,
1697
00:52:30,374 –> 00:52:33,174
118 guys in a team,
1698
00:52:33,174 –> 00:52:33,854
I think it is.
1699
00:52:33,854 –> 00:52:34,054
Yeah.
1700
00:52:34,534 –> 00:52:36,454
And only 80 scholarships.
1701
00:52:36,654 –> 00:52:38,454
And so let’s just take the 80 scholarships.
1702
00:52:38,454 –> 00:52:39,574
Not all of them are going pro.
1703
00:52:39,574 –> 00:52:42,614
So some of them do utilize the scholarship.
1704
00:52:43,254 –> 00:52:44,374
So if you want to play foot,
1705
00:52:44,374 –> 00:52:45,974
see, because it’s minor leagues for.
1706
00:52:46,374 –> 00:52:47,094
for the NFL,
1707
00:52:47,094 –> 00:52:47,254
right?
1708
00:52:47,414 –> 00:52:50,374
So nobody’s now going to get an education.
1709
00:52:50,454 –> 00:52:51,494
I guess I’m naive.
1710
00:52:51,494 –> 00:52:51,694
I know.
1711
00:52:51,694 –> 00:52:52,694
I think some of them.
1712
00:52:52,894 –> 00:52:54,374
I’m allowed to be naive though,
1713
00:52:54,374 –> 00:52:54,694
you know,
1714
00:52:56,054 –> 00:52:58,934
like a full ride tuition.
1715
00:52:59,094 –> 00:53:02,334
That’s over 50 grand a year just for tuition.
1716
00:53:02,334 –> 00:53:04,534
And then you’re out of state,
1717
00:53:05,174 –> 00:53:05,974
room and board,
1718
00:53:06,774 –> 00:53:07,734
books and all that.
1719
00:53:07,734 –> 00:53:10,854
So like you’re getting 75,
1720
00:53:10,894 –> 00:53:12,454
$80,000 a year.
1721
00:53:13,414 –> 00:53:15,094
I mean, people who work
1722
00:53:16,774 –> 00:53:17,414
On average,
1723
00:53:18,054 –> 00:53:20,494
the average American household income is $75,000.
1724
00:53:20,694 –> 00:53:24,734
I know, but your team is bringing in $100 million.
1725
00:53:24,734 –> 00:53:25,814
That’s what happened.
1726
00:53:26,534 –> 00:53:27,494
That’s the adults.
1727
00:53:27,494 –> 00:53:28,294
That’s what happened.
1728
00:53:28,294 –> 00:53:29,014
It’s just moving.
1729
00:53:29,014 –> 00:53:31,454
So I understand why people are upset about it because
1730
00:53:31,454 –> 00:53:32,774
it’s moving fast.
1731
00:53:32,854 –> 00:53:33,934
Yeah, I’m not upset.
1732
00:53:33,934 –> 00:53:34,454
I’m just like,
1733
00:53:34,454 –> 00:53:35,494
oh, there’s a lot of people that are.
1734
00:53:35,494 –> 00:53:38,294
They just don’t like the idea of what they thought
1735
00:53:38,294 –> 00:53:39,174
was amateurism.
1736
00:53:39,174 –> 00:53:39,454
It’s like,
1737
00:53:39,694 –> 00:53:41,334
well, that left a long time ago.
1738
00:53:41,334 –> 00:53:42,334
Oh, well, yeah,
1739
00:53:42,334 –> 00:53:43,374
a long, time ago,
1740
00:53:43,494 –> 00:53:43,814
you know.
1741
00:53:43,974 –> 00:53:44,454
God, I love it.
1742
00:53:44,454 –> 00:53:45,574
That’s why it’s my favorite week.
1743
00:53:45,574 –> 00:53:47,974
You know, Michigan State got all of its wins for the
1744
00:53:47,974 –> 00:53:49,174
last three years vacated.
1745
00:53:49,574 –> 00:53:53,174
because what they paid for a plane ticket for the guys
1746
00:53:53,174 –> 00:53:56,454
to come in and enroll illegally and put three guys
1747
00:53:56,854 –> 00:54:00,214
so they put a total of $13,000 so they flew their
1748
00:54:00,214 –> 00:54:04,934
family and them in right yeah $13,000 and they’ve
1749
00:54:04,934 –> 00:54:08,454
got to vacate all their wins for that see that kind
1750
00:54:08,454 –> 00:54:12,774
of shit should be paid for it I agree I don’t like
1751
00:54:12,774 –> 00:54:15,534
that it’s awfully brutal they got punished very harshly
1752
00:54:15,534 –> 00:54:16,294
because
1753
00:54:16,774 –> 00:54:18,214
state did not want to challenge it,
1754
00:54:18,214 –> 00:54:20,454
did not want to fight the NCAA because it allows them
1755
00:54:20,454 –> 00:54:22,254
cause to get rid of Mel Tucker,
1756
00:54:22,254 –> 00:54:23,694
who they still owe $75 million.
1757
00:54:23,694 –> 00:54:24,774
It’s all a shell game.
1758
00:54:24,854 –> 00:54:25,574
It’s all money.
1759
00:54:25,574 –> 00:54:26,934
It’s very much like politics.
1760
00:54:27,494 –> 00:54:29,094
It’s all about who’s owed what and when.
1761
00:54:29,094 –> 00:54:30,574
I’m fucking confused.
1762
00:54:31,174 –> 00:54:31,414
All right,
1763
00:54:31,414 –> 00:54:31,894

I need a break.

Yeah, we can take a break.
1774
00:54:57,134 –> 00:54:58,014
I don’t want to.
1775
00:54:58,014 –> 00:54:59,414
