1
00:00:00,160 –> 00:00:02,080
We’ve got Trick Trick,
2
00:00:02,080 –> 00:00:03,880
one of the most famous guys in Detroit,
3
00:00:03,880 –> 00:00:05,720
one of the greatest artists to come out of Detroit
4
00:00:05,720 –> 00:00:08,440
this century on the program,
5
00:00:08,440 –> 00:00:09,360
then a new movie.
6
00:00:10,320 –> 00:00:13,840
We’ve got Terrell Germain,
7
00:00:13,840 –> 00:00:16,480
star, Detroit native.
8
00:00:16,480 –> 00:00:19,480
He is in Kiev as we speak,
9
00:00:19,520 –> 00:00:20,560
independent journalist,
10
00:00:20,800 –> 00:00:23,680
going to get it straight from him,
11
00:00:23,840 –> 00:00:25,320
straight from the horse’s mouth.
12
00:00:25,720 –> 00:00:26,400
What’s going on?
13
00:00:26,480 –> 00:00:28,320
But before we do any of that,
14
00:00:28,400 –> 00:00:29,760
I can’t let this go.
15
00:00:30,640 –> 00:00:36,080
this whole shit about the homeless dying in Detroit
16
00:00:36,120 –> 00:00:38,280
and the hundreds of millions of dollars missing.
17
00:00:40,240 –> 00:00:42,560
There stood Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan,
18
00:00:43,200 –> 00:00:44,400
the Wizard of Woodward,
19
00:00:44,480 –> 00:00:46,960
looking rumpled and swollen like he’d been beaten
20
00:00:46,960 –> 00:00:48,480
silly by a feather pillow.
21
00:00:49,040 –> 00:00:51,840
His honor always looks that way when he’s caught in
22
00:00:51,840 –> 00:00:52,560
a scandal.
23
00:00:52,960 –> 00:00:55,840
Now the Wiz was struggling last week to finally lay
24
00:00:55,840 –> 00:00:58,440
to rest the death of two homeless children in that
25
00:00:59,360 –> 00:01:03,040
The mother called the city hotline multiple times only
26
00:01:03,040 –> 00:01:03,840
to be turned away.
27
00:01:03,840 –> 00:01:04,640
And in the end,
28
00:01:05,280 –> 00:01:06,720
the fault lay with Duggan.
29
00:01:06,720 –> 00:01:07,600
After all,
30
00:01:07,920 –> 00:01:11,760
his is the silent hand behind the curtain that controls
31
00:01:11,760 –> 00:01:14,440
those hundreds of millions in homeless dollars that
32
00:01:14,440 –> 00:01:16,640
never seems to quite make it to the homeless.
33
00:01:17,200 –> 00:01:19,920
And so the Wiz convened a press conference to offer
34
00:01:19,920 –> 00:01:23,680
a new seven-point plan of stuff that should have been
35
00:01:23,680 –> 00:01:25,280
part of the plan anyway.
36
00:01:25,600 –> 00:01:29,760
Things like a 24-7 homeless hotline and priority given
37
00:01:29,760 –> 00:01:30,800
to women and children.
38
00:01:31,520 –> 00:01:33,520
I wasn’t invited to the press conference.
39
00:01:34,160 –> 00:01:35,040
I never am.
40
00:01:35,600 –> 00:01:38,800
The Wiz’s footman had taken me off the media list years
41
00:01:40,000 –> 00:01:42,720
I only seemed to annoy the man with obvious questions.
42
00:01:43,040 –> 00:01:45,760
One of the last press conferences to which I’d been
43
00:01:46,880 –> 00:01:48,800
was a change the subject sort of deal.
44
00:01:49,280 –> 00:01:51,720
With the flames of the federally funded demolition
45
00:01:51,720 –> 00:01:54,120
scandal burning up towards his C-suite,
46
00:01:54,320 –> 00:01:56,720
his honor convened a press conference a couple years
47
00:01:56,720 –> 00:01:57,840
ago to discuss,
48
00:01:57,840 –> 00:01:59,920
yep, low-income housing.
49
00:02:00,320 –> 00:02:01,600
He fed the press poodles,
50
00:02:01,600 –> 00:02:02,720
donuts, and coffee.
51
00:02:03,280 –> 00:02:04,560
I ate his French cruellers.
52
00:02:05,280 –> 00:02:05,920
Quite tasty,
53
00:02:05,920 –> 00:02:06,400
actually.
54
00:02:07,280 –> 00:02:08,320
Then I confronted him.
55
00:02:09,680 –> 00:02:12,960
on his role in the possible bid rigging and price setting
56
00:02:12,960 –> 00:02:15,600
and the poisoning of the city in those demolition
57
00:02:15,600 –> 00:02:16,160
contracts.
58
00:02:16,320 –> 00:02:17,280
And he snapped,
59
00:02:17,600 –> 00:02:18,680
like most of your stories,
60
00:02:18,680 –> 00:02:19,280
it’s false.
61
00:02:20,000 –> 00:02:21,040
Yeah, not so much.
62
00:02:21,640 –> 00:02:22,560
A couple months later,
63
00:02:22,560 –> 00:02:24,080
Duggan, the city,
64
00:02:24,240 –> 00:02:27,360
and the demo program were ensnared in a sprawling
65
00:02:27,360 –> 00:02:29,680
federal grand jury investigation.
66
00:02:29,760 –> 00:02:30,800
It got so bad,
67
00:02:31,040 –> 00:02:34,000
Duggan had to hire Hillary Clinton’s defense lawyer
68
00:02:34,160 –> 00:02:38,040
for $1,000 an hour until she quit and went and worked
69
00:02:38,040 –> 00:02:40,320
with Mueller under Russia Trump investigation.
70
00:02:40,480 –> 00:02:41,680
I swear to God to you.
71
00:02:41,920 –> 00:02:43,360
It went on for years.
72
00:02:44,160 –> 00:02:47,280
The case eventually petered away as Biden’s friendly
73
00:02:47,280 –> 00:02:50,320
DOJ let the statute of limitations lapse.
74
00:02:50,800 –> 00:02:52,960
and I got taken off the media list.
75
00:02:53,440 –> 00:02:54,400
You see how that works?
76
00:02:55,040 –> 00:02:56,160
This time around,
77
00:02:56,400 –> 00:02:59,720
the Wiz had just about closed the curtain on the dead
78
00:02:59,720 –> 00:03:02,880
children debacle when Ed White from the Associated
79
00:03:02,880 –> 00:03:06,880
Press ambled up to the lectern for one last question.
80
00:03:07,280 –> 00:03:09,680
I was in my underpants watching on live stream.
81
00:03:09,920 –> 00:03:14,000
Charlie LaDuff had posted video outside of a women’s
82
00:03:14,000 –> 00:03:15,680
and children’s shelter,
83
00:03:15,680 –> 00:03:16,400
said it was
84
00:03:16,960 –> 00:03:18,960
not authorized for occupation.
85
00:03:18,960 –> 00:03:21,120
He showed a child on the floor.
86
00:03:21,280 –> 00:03:22,760
Can someone address that?
87
00:03:22,760 –> 00:03:23,640
It’s a bunch of nonsense.
88
00:03:23,640 –> 00:03:24,720
And what that is?
89
00:03:24,720 –> 00:03:25,680
It’s a bunch of nonsense.
90
00:03:26,320 –> 00:03:29,440
So that shelter is okay?
91
00:03:29,720 –> 00:03:31,520
Again, they are going through,
92
00:03:31,760 –> 00:03:33,000
they have a temporary license,
93
00:03:33,000 –> 00:03:34,640
they’re going through their permanent license.
94
00:03:34,960 –> 00:03:37,280
The zoning board just approved them.
95
00:03:37,680 –> 00:03:38,200
But anyway,
96
00:03:38,200 –> 00:03:42,160
I’m not addressing that kind of a report.
97
00:03:42,800 –> 00:03:45,520
Of course he’s not addressing that kind of report.
98
00:03:45,680 –> 00:03:47,800
How could he address that kind of report?
99
00:03:47,920 –> 00:03:50,160
Because it’s the correct kind of report.
100
00:03:50,960 –> 00:03:53,920
The city’s breaking its own laws and putting vulnerable
101
00:03:53,920 –> 00:03:55,040
families at risk.
102
00:03:55,200 –> 00:03:57,680
Children are eating off the shelter floors,
103
00:03:58,880 –> 00:04:01,840
The temporary license Duggan spoke of was meant for
104
00:04:01,840 –> 00:04:04,080
a temporary warming shelter.
105
00:04:04,400 –> 00:04:08,880
It was issued 2 Januaries ago and was supposed to provide
106
00:04:09,040 –> 00:04:12,080
short-term services during the extreme cold.
107
00:04:12,320 –> 00:04:16,000
It’s not a permit to establish a perpetual overnight
108
00:04:16,000 –> 00:04:19,040
shelter, but that’s what a city building inspector
109
00:04:19,040 –> 00:04:20,800
found in June of 24.
110
00:04:21,360 –> 00:04:24,480
50 women and children living in a former nursing home
111
00:04:24,480 –> 00:04:25,680
on Gratiot Avenue.
112
00:04:25,840 –> 00:04:27,760
The place had a raft of fire,
113
00:04:27,920 –> 00:04:28,640
plumbing,
114
00:04:28,840 –> 00:04:33,200
and structural issues and did not and does not have
115
00:04:33,560 –> 00:04:35,760
a certificate of occupancy.
116
00:04:36,560 –> 00:04:39,200
The inspector failed the facility and cited it for
117
00:04:39,200 –> 00:04:41,440
operating illegally as a shelter.
118
00:04:41,600 –> 00:04:42,880
Now, incredulously,
119
00:04:42,960 –> 00:04:45,840
the city claims the building is operating legally
120
00:04:46,160 –> 00:04:48,160
as a temporary warming shelter,
121
00:04:48,480 –> 00:04:51,360
even though the temperature was 71 degrees the day
122
00:04:51,360 –> 00:04:52,640
the inspector showed up.
123
00:04:53,440 –> 00:04:54,480
Two months later,
124
00:04:54,640 –> 00:04:57,120
the city building department finally approved the
125
00:04:57,120 –> 00:04:57,920
nursing home
126
00:04:58,720 –> 00:05:02,800
to become an emergency shelter on condition that no
127
00:05:02,800 –> 00:05:06,160
one inhabit the joint until the work was complete
128
00:05:06,320 –> 00:05:10,320
and a certificate of occupancy had been issued.
129
00:05:11,000 –> 00:05:12,000
A month after that,
130
00:05:12,000 –> 00:05:13,600
in September of 24,
131
00:05:13,840 –> 00:05:19,520
the building department flunked the joint yet again,
132
00:05:19,520 –> 00:05:22,880
and it was still occupied with women and children.
133
00:05:23,040 –> 00:05:24,240
And last month,
134
00:05:24,560 –> 00:05:26,160
the building yet again
135
00:05:26,640 –> 00:05:28,960
failed a fire inspection,
136
00:05:29,440 –> 00:05:32,560
and it is still not certified to house human beings,
137
00:05:32,640 –> 00:05:34,160
much less dogs.
138
00:05:34,960 –> 00:05:36,880
Instead of fixing the damn place,
139
00:05:37,120 –> 00:05:40,080
Duggan deflects and millions intended to house the
140
00:05:40,080 –> 00:05:42,000
poor go unaccounted for.
141
00:05:42,800 –> 00:05:45,520
As for the woman and her two remaining children,
142
00:05:45,760 –> 00:05:48,560
they got a house rent free for the next 12 months.
143
00:05:48,880 –> 00:05:50,080
Then she’s on her own.
144
00:05:50,720 –> 00:05:52,320
In Duggan’s Land of Oz,
145
00:05:52,560 –> 00:05:55,360
the rich get richer and the poor get children.
146
00:05:55,960 –> 00:05:57,120
He’s running for governor,
147
00:05:57,280 –> 00:05:59,200
but he isn’t popular in Detroit.
148
00:05:59,600 –> 00:06:03,240
Polls show Duggan in a statistical dead heat in the
149
00:06:03,240 –> 00:06:06,880
city with Jocelyn Benson in a head-to-head matchup.
150
00:06:07,360 –> 00:06:10,080
That’s not good for a guy who’s been mayor for more
151
00:06:10,080 –> 00:06:11,040
than a decade.
152
00:06:11,520 –> 00:06:14,000
That’s because people who are not on his payroll know
153
00:06:14,000 –> 00:06:14,640
the truth.
154
00:06:15,120 –> 00:06:18,440
The Wiz has done nothing much to improve the general
155
00:06:18,440 –> 00:06:19,200
livelihood.
156
00:06:19,760 –> 00:06:23,040
So Duggan has dumped the Democrats and is now playing
157
00:06:23,040 –> 00:06:23,840
populist.
158
00:06:24,600 –> 00:06:27,720
Instead of running as a corrupt big city Democrat that
159
00:06:27,720 –> 00:06:31,240
he is, he’s donned the robes of a good old boy and
160
00:06:31,240 –> 00:06:33,120
he’s just plain corrupt.
161
00:06:33,920 –> 00:06:35,280
Good luck running on that.
162
00:06:37,760 –> 00:06:40,120
Live from downtown Detroit,
163
00:06:40,480 –> 00:06:44,960
it’s the No Bullshit News Hour with my main man,
164
00:06:45,280 –> 00:06:51,360
Charlie Ladell and Karen Dumas.
165
00:06:52,960 –> 00:06:53,920
Sister breaking news.
166
00:06:54,720 –> 00:06:55,400
No more bullshit.
167
00:06:55,880 –> 00:06:56,720
No more bullshit.
168
00:06:56,960 –> 00:06:58,440
I am fucking exhausted,
169
00:07:01,440 –> 00:07:02,960
Trying to keep this shit straight,
170
00:07:03,280 –> 00:07:03,800
This, this,
171
00:07:03,800 –> 00:07:05,520
this, this not going right.
172
00:07:05,520 –> 00:07:06,640
Size not going right.
173
00:07:07,040 –> 00:07:08,240
Lie, lie, lie,
174
00:07:09,360 –> 00:07:10,080
Trick, trick,
175
00:07:10,080 –> 00:07:10,800
trick, trick.
176
00:07:10,800 –> 00:07:11,760
Choke, choke,
177
00:07:12,720 –> 00:07:14,000
And they don’t fix anything,
178
00:07:15,600 –> 00:07:16,720
You know, last time you were on the show,
179
00:07:16,720 –> 00:07:17,520
you coined the phrase,
180
00:07:17,520 –> 00:07:18,240
fix the shit.
181
00:07:18,280 –> 00:07:18,920
Fix the shit.
182
00:07:19,560 –> 00:07:20,360
What’s so hard?
183
00:07:24,560 –> 00:07:25,280
Buddy hustling,
184
00:07:25,440 –> 00:07:25,920
you know.
185
00:07:27,160 –> 00:07:28,000
Enough already,
186
00:07:28,240 –> 00:07:28,800
But listen,
187
00:07:29,280 –> 00:07:30,080
I digress.
188
00:07:31,440 –> 00:07:32,080
Trick, trick,
189
00:07:32,080 –> 00:07:34,000
writer, director,
190
00:07:34,160 –> 00:07:35,040
musician,
191
00:07:35,440 –> 00:07:37,520
starring in a new crime drama.
192
00:07:38,200 –> 00:07:39,280
On Amazon Prime.
193
00:07:41,360 –> 00:07:43,440
Amazon Prime and Apple TV.
194
00:07:43,520 –> 00:07:44,280
Wow, dude.
195
00:07:46,240 –> 00:07:46,800
Long time.
196
00:07:46,800 –> 00:07:48,800
What’s the name of the movie?
197
00:07:48,800 –> 00:07:51,200
The Last 24 is the name of the movie.
198
00:07:51,520 –> 00:07:55,680
It’s about a botanical super formula created by a doctor,
199
00:07:55,680 –> 00:07:57,400
played by the great Charlie LeDuc,
200
00:07:58,160 –> 00:08:01,040
who created this super formula to make plants grow
201
00:08:01,200 –> 00:08:03,120
in three weeks instead of three months.
202
00:08:03,200 –> 00:08:06,160
And the Albanian mafia is after it,
203
00:08:06,320 –> 00:08:08,040
sent his son to kind of do a
204
00:08:08,480 –> 00:08:12,600
easy deal for your formula that he acquired from you,
205
00:08:13,200 –> 00:08:15,200
and that deal didn’t go so good,
206
00:08:15,680 –> 00:08:17,280
and the journey starts.
207
00:08:17,520 –> 00:08:19,360
So, high jinks ensue.
208
00:08:19,760 –> 00:08:21,480
Is that Mikey Eckstein producer with us too?
209
00:08:21,480 –> 00:08:21,880
How you doing,
210
00:08:22,400 –> 00:08:22,800
I’m great,
211
00:08:25,400 –> 00:08:26,520
When did we film that?
212
00:08:26,880 –> 00:08:27,600
Seventeen?
213
00:08:28,240 –> 00:08:29,120
The end of 18.
214
00:08:29,120 –> 00:08:29,800
End of 18.
215
00:08:29,920 –> 00:08:31,040
The end of 18.
216
00:08:31,040 –> 00:08:33,440
So this is a long journey.
217
00:08:33,920 –> 00:08:34,840
Oh my God.
218
00:08:35,400 –> 00:08:35,880
I mean, okay,
219
00:08:35,880 –> 00:08:36,320
first of all,
220
00:08:37,120 –> 00:08:38,800
it’s a drama comedy.
221
00:08:38,840 –> 00:08:39,600
Dramedy, yes.
222
00:08:39,600 –> 00:08:40,800
It’s a dramedy.
223
00:08:40,840 –> 00:08:41,600
And you wrote it.
224
00:08:42,160 –> 00:08:43,200
Directed it.
225
00:08:43,200 –> 00:08:44,400
Wrote it and directed it.
226
00:08:44,600 –> 00:08:45,360
And I produced it.
227
00:08:45,880 –> 00:08:47,360
What does that mean when you produce it?
228
00:08:47,360 –> 00:08:49,200
Does that mean you come up with the money?
229
00:08:49,200 –> 00:08:50,360
No, I came up with the money.
230
00:08:52,560 –> 00:08:53,880
I came up with the casting,
231
00:08:53,880 –> 00:08:55,040
with the locations,
232
00:08:55,040 –> 00:08:57,520
with my input quarterback,
233
00:08:57,840 –> 00:08:59,280
the project essentially.
234
00:08:59,760 –> 00:09:00,640
And you know,
235
00:09:00,640 –> 00:09:03,320
Trick and I have been working together for coincidentally
236
00:09:03,320 –> 00:09:04,400
24 years now.
237
00:09:05,200 –> 00:09:06,960
And we feed off each other very well.
238
00:09:07,280 –> 00:09:10,560
I think we kind of bring the worlds together in a sense.
239
00:09:11,120 –> 00:09:13,560
So we, you know,
240
00:09:13,560 –> 00:09:15,360
when he came up with that role,
241
00:09:15,400 –> 00:09:15,760
I’m like,
242
00:09:15,760 –> 00:09:16,160
I know the
243
00:09:16,840 –> 00:09:17,920
Perfect motherfucker,
244
00:09:20,200 –> 00:09:21,520
And you were great.
245
00:09:22,080 –> 00:09:26,160
We had a lot of fun and it took a while for the movie
246
00:09:26,160 –> 00:09:26,960
to come out.
247
00:09:27,040 –> 00:09:29,520
You know, we did this on our own and I’ll let Trick
248
00:09:29,760 –> 00:09:31,240
expound a little bit more.
249
00:09:31,240 –> 00:09:34,600
I mean, there’s a movie in itself leading up to the
250
00:09:34,600 –> 00:09:36,000
release and essentially.
251
00:09:36,320 –> 00:09:37,040
Action-packed.
252
00:09:37,520 –> 00:09:38,880
Somebody, but prior to that,
253
00:09:38,880 –> 00:09:39,920
somebody told him,
254
00:09:39,920 –> 00:09:42,160
told us, a couple people that you can’t do it on your
255
00:09:42,560 –> 00:09:43,920
You can’t do a movie.
256
00:09:44,080 –> 00:09:46,560
You need some Jewish investments and a black
257
00:09:47,200 –> 00:09:48,000
Screenwriter,
258
00:09:48,120 –> 00:09:48,640
blah, blah,
259
00:09:48,960 –> 00:09:49,680
blah, you know,
260
00:09:50,600 –> 00:09:51,120
motherfucker.
261
00:09:52,000 –> 00:09:56,240
I only had two or three outlets to go through in order
262
00:09:56,240 –> 00:09:58,440
to get my film on Amazon Prime,
263
00:09:58,440 –> 00:10:02,360
and Amazon Prime wasn’t accepting any more independent
264
00:10:02,360 –> 00:10:05,680
films, and they accepted my film in under 15 minutes.
265
00:10:07,040 –> 00:10:09,520
Yeah, Apple TV accepted it in under 7.
266
00:10:09,920 –> 00:10:11,280
I mean, what’s the genesis of it?
267
00:10:11,280 –> 00:10:12,720
Do you make music,
268
00:10:12,960 –> 00:10:14,040
You’re known for music,
269
00:10:15,480 –> 00:10:16,680
I’m known for storytelling.
270
00:10:18,880 –> 00:10:20,080
Music is storytelling.
271
00:10:20,080 –> 00:10:21,440
So I’m telling my story,
272
00:10:21,760 –> 00:10:22,240
you know,
273
00:10:22,240 –> 00:10:24,080
and alongside that story,
274
00:10:24,080 –> 00:10:24,600
you have to,
275
00:10:24,640 –> 00:10:24,920
you know,
276
00:10:24,920 –> 00:10:25,600
to be careful,
277
00:10:25,600 –> 00:10:26,120
you have to…
278
00:10:27,320 –> 00:10:29,200
you know, have an imagination as well,
279
00:10:29,200 –> 00:10:29,480
you know,
280
00:10:29,480 –> 00:10:32,840
so that I don’t incriminate myself in my music.
281
00:10:32,880 –> 00:10:36,160
But that imagination come from just a history of just
282
00:10:36,160 –> 00:10:37,240
being a TV head,
283
00:10:37,240 –> 00:10:37,600
you know,
284
00:10:37,920 –> 00:10:38,480
and you know,
285
00:10:38,480 –> 00:10:39,680
as well as a musician,
286
00:10:39,680 –> 00:10:39,840
you know,
287
00:10:39,840 –> 00:10:42,480
from being a drummer in church and my father’s a DJ,
288
00:10:42,720 –> 00:10:43,920
mother was a singer,
289
00:10:43,920 –> 00:10:44,400
and you know,
290
00:10:44,400 –> 00:10:47,040
just being in the environments of creativity,
291
00:10:47,440 –> 00:10:50,800
it’s inevitable that whenever you think you want to
292
00:10:50,800 –> 00:10:51,840
do something like,
293
00:10:51,840 –> 00:10:52,240
you know,
294
00:10:52,720 –> 00:10:54,640
make a movie that you do it,
295
00:10:55,040 –> 00:10:55,440
you know?
296
00:10:55,920 –> 00:10:56,440
I gotta see,
297
00:10:56,440 –> 00:10:57,520
I got asked to do a movie,
298
00:10:57,520 –> 00:10:58,680
I used to live in LA,
299
00:10:59,200 –> 00:11:00,960
and it was Brad Pitt’s people,
300
00:11:00,960 –> 00:11:02,640
right, Jeremy Klein or Plan B,
301
00:11:03,360 –> 00:11:05,440
and read my book and he’s like,
302
00:11:06,640 –> 00:11:07,440
you ever done a script?
303
00:11:07,440 –> 00:11:08,760
I go, no, I don’t know how to do a script.
304
00:11:09,200 –> 00:11:10,760
So, ended up doing a script,
305
00:11:10,760 –> 00:11:11,600
he flew out here,
306
00:11:11,600 –> 00:11:13,120
we wrote it together,
307
00:11:13,760 –> 00:11:14,760
it’s all ready to go,
308
00:11:14,760 –> 00:11:16,960
and then it never goes,
309
00:11:17,760 –> 00:11:18,320
you know what I mean?
310
00:11:18,880 –> 00:11:19,680
It really does,
311
00:11:19,720 –> 00:11:21,760
and I’d never encourage anybody to,
312
00:11:22,240 –> 00:11:23,520
fall in love with Hollywood,
313
00:11:23,520 –> 00:11:25,520
or put your own money into it,
314
00:11:25,680 –> 00:11:26,240
you know what I mean?
315
00:11:26,240 –> 00:11:29,840
Because it’s rare that it pans out,
316
00:11:29,840 –> 00:11:32,480
so it really had to just take a lot of…
317
00:11:33,280 –> 00:11:38,240
Well, that’s when so many other hands are in control.
318
00:11:38,240 –> 00:11:39,840
See, I had control of this.
319
00:11:39,840 –> 00:11:40,960
This was my baby,
320
00:11:42,240 –> 00:11:42,840
I wrote it,
321
00:11:43,160 –> 00:11:45,280
and I’d use my money to finance it,
322
00:11:45,280 –> 00:11:49,040
and I know my partner was ready to go on anything
323
00:11:49,040 –> 00:11:50,080
I needed from him,
324
00:11:50,880 –> 00:11:51,920
to the point to where,
325
00:11:52,080 –> 00:11:55,200
I mean, I slipped up on casting one day and didn’t
326
00:11:55,200 –> 00:12:00,160
call casting to get a talent there to accompany the
327
00:12:00,160 –> 00:12:02,560
other guy and looked out the window and Mikey was
328
00:12:02,560 –> 00:12:04,720
sitting out there looking just like the character.
329
00:12:05,120 –> 00:12:07,240
Immediately he became the character.
330
00:12:07,680 –> 00:12:08,520
So you know what I mean,
331
00:12:08,520 –> 00:12:11,040
when you got that kind of play and power,
332
00:12:11,040 –> 00:12:11,560
you know what I mean,
333
00:12:11,560 –> 00:12:12,960
you got that kind of teamwork.
334
00:12:12,960 –> 00:12:16,480
It’s like the key to it is just to not give up if it’s
335
00:12:16,480 –> 00:12:17,040
your baby.
336
00:12:17,040 –> 00:12:17,760
You wrote it,
337
00:12:17,760 –> 00:12:18,320
that’s your script.
338
00:12:18,920 –> 00:12:20,280
You want it to come to,
339
00:12:20,440 –> 00:12:21,800
you got to keep going on it.
340
00:12:21,800 –> 00:12:25,320
You know, you created this where we sitting right now,
341
00:12:25,320 –> 00:12:27,160
like this out of your head.
342
00:12:27,160 –> 00:12:29,080
This is your fruits of your labor.
343
00:12:29,080 –> 00:12:30,600
This is your idea.
344
00:12:30,760 –> 00:12:31,560
And it’s here.
345
00:12:31,960 –> 00:12:33,800
You manifested it into reality.
346
00:12:33,800 –> 00:12:35,640
We here right now from
347
00:12:36,040 –> 00:12:37,240
your imagination,
348
00:12:37,240 –> 00:12:38,400
from your ideas.
349
00:12:38,400 –> 00:12:39,520
So it’s just,
350
00:12:39,520 –> 00:12:41,400
you just have to get the script and say,
351
00:12:41,400 –> 00:12:43,680
I’m gonna do this motherfucker and then do it and
352
00:12:43,680 –> 00:12:45,000
don’t stop till you do it.
353
00:12:45,400 –> 00:12:47,640
You know, I had a million things come up against me
354
00:12:47,640 –> 00:12:48,760
with the last 24.
355
00:12:49,160 –> 00:12:49,920
From, you know,
356
00:12:49,920 –> 00:12:50,720
I lost my mom,
357
00:12:50,720 –> 00:12:52,040
COVID came,
358
00:12:52,520 –> 00:12:54,320
I had, I got in a high speed chase,
359
00:12:54,320 –> 00:12:58,280
somebody stole a bag out the rental car in San Francisco.
360
00:12:58,520 –> 00:13:01,560
Somebody stole another bag with backup drives out of
361
00:13:01,560 –> 00:13:05,640
it in Los Angeles at going to the meeting a producer
362
00:13:06,000 –> 00:13:07,160
Hulu docu-series,
363
00:13:07,160 –> 00:13:07,640
literally.
364
00:13:08,440 –> 00:13:10,600
The same day I was going to show it to Snoop Nim.
365
00:13:11,960 –> 00:13:13,160
Just like so many different,
366
00:13:13,160 –> 00:13:14,600
the hard drive crashed.
367
00:13:15,360 –> 00:13:17,560
Pow! The file was corrupted.
368
00:13:17,560 –> 00:13:19,400
The whole movie file with the movie,
369
00:13:20,040 –> 00:13:21,400
that session was corrupted.
370
00:13:21,520 –> 00:13:23,160
And it corrupted any computer,
371
00:13:23,160 –> 00:13:24,920
like, I don’t even know what happened.
372
00:13:25,320 –> 00:13:26,440
What, the original?
373
00:13:27,160 –> 00:13:28,320
But see, here’s the thing.
374
00:13:28,320 –> 00:13:29,080
When I shoot,
375
00:13:30,160 –> 00:13:31,400
When we take that footage,
376
00:13:31,640 –> 00:13:34,280
we take that tape or that card from the camera,
377
00:13:34,520 –> 00:13:37,560
it’s handed off to somebody and they’re making three
378
00:13:37,560 –> 00:13:38,440
copies of it.
379
00:13:38,440 –> 00:13:39,720
They log all the footage.
380
00:13:40,040 –> 00:13:41,960
And then when I edit scenes,
381
00:13:41,960 –> 00:13:43,800
I edit scenes one through 7,
382
00:13:44,280 –> 00:13:47,640
bam, block that out and then move it over here and
383
00:13:47,640 –> 00:13:48,600
back it up too.
384
00:13:48,600 –> 00:13:50,960
So I had backups up the wazoo.
385
00:13:50,960 –> 00:13:54,040
It was just a matter of having to keep going from the
386
00:13:54,040 –> 00:13:56,160
finish line is right here and then bam.
387
00:13:56,960 –> 00:13:57,960
Back to the beginning,
388
00:13:58,120 –> 00:13:59,960
gotta start over.
389
00:14:00,120 –> 00:14:02,840
I was making the last corrections with the hard drive
390
00:14:02,840 –> 00:14:03,720
when it crashed.
391
00:14:04,040 –> 00:14:05,400
I had 18 corrections.
392
00:14:05,400 –> 00:14:07,720
We had got the second correction,
393
00:14:07,960 –> 00:14:08,560
and it was like,
394
00:14:09,880 –> 00:14:11,120
And it’s like heartbreaking,
395
00:14:11,160 –> 00:14:15,000
but you can’t let nothing get in your way if you believe
396
00:14:15,000 –> 00:14:16,600
in it and you love it and you want it.
397
00:14:16,680 –> 00:14:17,280
You know what I mean?
398
00:14:17,280 –> 00:14:18,440
If you really believe in it,
399
00:14:18,440 –> 00:14:18,960
and it’s like,
400
00:14:20,640 –> 00:14:23,960
But having you on that film was so much value to me.
401
00:14:23,960 –> 00:14:28,280
Having him work tirelessly on it was so much value
402
00:14:28,600 –> 00:14:30,000
I couldn’t let y’all down,
403
00:14:30,000 –> 00:14:31,080
let alone myself.
404
00:14:31,320 –> 00:14:32,040
I refused to go back.
405
00:14:32,040 –> 00:14:32,840
I’d forgotten about it.
406
00:14:33,160 –> 00:14:33,960
I’d forgotten about it.
407
00:14:33,960 –> 00:14:35,640
I mean, every time we ran into each other,
408
00:14:35,760 –> 00:14:36,080
I’m like,
409
00:14:36,120 –> 00:14:36,680
it’s coming,
410
00:14:36,920 –> 00:14:37,400
it’s coming.
411
00:14:37,800 –> 00:14:38,080
I got you,
412
00:14:38,080 –> 00:14:38,800
it’s coming.
413
00:14:38,800 –> 00:14:39,640
I’m like, what’s coming?
414
00:14:40,680 –> 00:14:44,240
That’s exactly what he did.
415
00:14:44,240 –> 00:14:46,720
The way I found out it came out is it’s a guy that
416
00:14:46,720 –> 00:14:47,800
comes down into the cone,
417
00:14:48,360 –> 00:14:49,400
he’s not homeless,
418
00:14:49,920 –> 00:14:52,280
But he don’t mind you thinking he’s homeless.
419
00:14:52,760 –> 00:14:53,880
That way he gets free meals.
420
00:14:53,880 –> 00:14:54,720
He’s a real nice guy.
421
00:14:54,720 –> 00:14:55,160
And he goes,
422
00:14:57,560 –> 00:14:59,120
I saw you in that movie.
423
00:14:59,120 –> 00:15:00,360
I go, what fucking movie?
424
00:15:01,080 –> 00:15:02,880
I know when you’re a scientist.
425
00:15:02,880 –> 00:15:03,800
I’m like, scientist,
426
00:15:04,280 –> 00:15:04,640
oh, shit,
427
00:15:04,680 –> 00:15:05,000
that’s out.
428
00:15:05,000 –> 00:15:07,240
He goes, it’s a good movie.
429
00:15:08,640 –> 00:15:09,200
So I mean,
430
00:15:09,240 –> 00:15:09,480
you know,
431
00:15:09,480 –> 00:15:10,680
word on the street is like,
432
00:15:10,680 –> 00:15:11,000
you know,
433
00:15:11,000 –> 00:15:11,440
good movie.
434
00:15:11,560 –> 00:15:12,280
Yes, it is,
435
00:15:12,520 –> 00:15:13,440
I’m so thankful.
436
00:15:13,480 –> 00:15:14,440
Is that when you called me?
437
00:15:15,080 –> 00:15:15,880
I’m so thankful.
438
00:15:16,280 –> 00:15:16,920
Yeah, I’m like,
439
00:15:19,400 –> 00:15:20,160
I didn’t, I wasn’t,
440
00:15:20,160 –> 00:15:23,800
I didn’t know my motivation when we were filming that.
441
00:15:23,800 –> 00:15:26,280
I wasn’t, I wasn’t sure I brought it.
442
00:15:27,240 –> 00:15:28,680
The naturalness of it,
443
00:15:28,680 –> 00:15:30,760
the naturalness of,
444
00:15:30,840 –> 00:15:31,160
you know,
445
00:15:31,160 –> 00:15:32,280
your intelligence could,
446
00:15:32,680 –> 00:15:34,040
you could easily be a scientist.
447
00:15:34,080 –> 00:15:35,800
You’re a political scientist for sure.
448
00:15:37,240 –> 00:15:37,600
I think he is.
449
00:15:37,600 –> 00:15:39,240
I think he’s a scientist.
450
00:15:39,480 –> 00:15:40,600
Like, you just,
451
00:15:40,840 –> 00:15:41,880
you natural flow,
452
00:15:42,280 –> 00:15:42,760
You hear that,
453
00:15:43,640 –> 00:15:45,960
Even the way you drunk all that expensive whiskey we
454
00:15:45,960 –> 00:15:48,440
had when you poured it in a,
455
00:15:49,200 –> 00:15:49,880
what do you call it?
456
00:15:51,720 –> 00:15:53,000
He poured it in a beaker.
457
00:15:53,160 –> 00:15:54,520
That night we had the,
458
00:15:54,680 –> 00:15:57,160
I just threw something out of nowhere together.
459
00:15:57,320 –> 00:15:58,360
The bad guy,
460
00:15:58,360 –> 00:16:00,280
whatever it was with you,
461
00:16:00,840 –> 00:16:02,040
Boston, George,
462
00:16:02,440 –> 00:16:04,120
Trick, Trick and Darren McCartney.
463
00:16:04,120 –> 00:16:04,960
Did we shoot that day?
464
00:16:05,720 –> 00:16:07,720
No, but remember we did that panel.
465
00:16:08,280 –> 00:16:09,080
If you were there,
466
00:16:09,080 –> 00:16:09,800
you were there.
467
00:16:09,960 –> 00:16:10,520
If you missed it,
468
00:16:10,520 –> 00:16:11,000
that was.
469
00:16:11,720 –> 00:16:13,200
That wasn’t Boston George was the.
470
00:16:13,960 –> 00:16:15,480
George smuggler back in the day.
471
00:16:15,480 –> 00:16:16,520
George Jung.
472
00:16:16,920 –> 00:16:18,160
You was the mediator.
473
00:16:18,600 –> 00:16:18,960
Yeah, I know.
474
00:16:20,280 –> 00:16:21,760
That was a good night.
475
00:16:21,960 –> 00:16:23,080
That was a good night.
476
00:16:23,080 –> 00:16:24,120
Darren McCarty,
477
00:16:24,120 –> 00:16:24,920
you and Trick Trick.
478
00:16:24,960 –> 00:16:26,280
Dude smokes weed.
479
00:16:27,240 –> 00:16:28,040
Rest in peace.
480
00:16:29,040 –> 00:16:29,560
He passed away.
481
00:16:29,560 –> 00:16:31,640
I think they said he was responsible for.
482
00:16:31,760 –> 00:16:32,200
Cardi did?
483
00:16:32,680 –> 00:16:33,320
No, no, no,
484
00:16:33,480 –> 00:16:34,120
no, no, no,
485
00:16:35,360 –> 00:16:36,680
He got another 60 years.
486
00:16:37,680 –> 00:16:38,120
No, George.
487
00:16:38,160 –> 00:16:39,200
Your motherfuckers pickled.
488
00:16:40,680 –> 00:16:41,320
George Jones.
489
00:16:43,560 –> 00:16:44,960
He was an interesting cat.
490
00:16:46,080 –> 00:16:46,920
That was a good era.
491
00:16:46,920 –> 00:16:47,960
That was a good panel.
492
00:16:47,960 –> 00:16:48,760
That was a good era.
493
00:16:49,320 –> 00:16:50,200
Well, again,
494
00:16:50,200 –> 00:16:51,960
it’s the last 24.
495
00:16:52,440 –> 00:16:56,440
It’s available on Amazon Prime and Apple TV.
496
00:16:56,680 –> 00:16:57,080
Those are the
497
00:16:58,120 –> 00:16:59,240
easy to get to those.
498
00:16:59,240 –> 00:17:01,760
It’s also on Google Play and Voodoo as well.
499
00:17:01,760 –> 00:17:03,160
You got to pay for it?
500
00:17:03,160 –> 00:17:05,840
Rental fee or you can purchase it.
501
00:17:06,320 –> 00:17:07,640
And it’ll be on Tubi,
502
00:17:07,880 –> 00:17:08,840
May the 1st.
503
00:17:09,440 –> 00:17:09,880
Okay, Tubi.
504
00:17:10,120 –> 00:17:10,920
Yeah, May the 1st.
505
00:17:12,320 –> 00:17:13,960
Okay, now I want to do,
506
00:17:15,080 –> 00:17:19,920
Mark, we’ll take a break and hear from our sponsors
507
00:17:19,920 –> 00:17:22,760
and then we’ll be back and I want to move towards
508
00:17:23,960 –> 00:17:25,000
politics,
509
00:17:25,680 –> 00:17:26,160
President,
510
00:17:26,160 –> 00:17:27,040
State of the Union,
511
00:17:27,640 –> 00:17:28,760
You’ve been active on Twitter.
512
00:17:28,760 –> 00:17:29,560
I’m watching what you’re doing.
513
00:17:29,800 –> 00:17:33,040
We got Terrell Starr on the show.
514
00:17:33,040 –> 00:17:35,480
He’s in Ukraine via Detroit.
515
00:17:36,360 –> 00:17:39,320
So quick word from our sponsors and then we’ll be right
516
00:17:39,640 –> 00:17:42,080
I’m Grace Karos and I’m third generation of American
517
00:17:42,120 –> 00:17:42,760
Coney Island.
518
00:17:43,160 –> 00:17:44,920
People say Detroit’s A comeback city.
519
00:17:44,920 –> 00:17:45,720
I say, where have you been?
520
00:17:45,720 –> 00:17:47,360
We’ve been here for over 100 years.
521
00:17:47,800 –> 00:17:49,720
My family’s been here on the same corner,
522
00:17:49,960 –> 00:17:53,160
serving our famous proprietary American Coney Island
523
00:17:54,320 –> 00:17:54,920
So like always,
524
00:17:54,920 –> 00:17:56,040
we’re keeping things fresh,
525
00:17:56,280 –> 00:17:57,480
updated, and new.
526
00:17:59,800 –> 00:18:01,560
We’d love to have you come downtown and visit us,
527
00:18:01,640 –> 00:18:02,360
but if you can’t,
528
00:18:02,520 –> 00:18:04,760
you can always go to AmericanConeyIsland.com,
529
00:18:04,760 –> 00:18:05,640
order a Coney kit,
530
00:18:05,640 –> 00:18:07,320
get it delivered fresh right to your door.
531
00:18:08,360 –> 00:18:11,200
This message of Uplift is brought to you by business
532
00:18:11,200 –> 00:18:12,600
and personal wealth advisor,
533
00:18:12,600 –> 00:18:13,560
Luke Nowacki,
534
00:18:13,880 –> 00:18:16,840
who reminds you that what does it profit a man to
535
00:18:16,840 –> 00:18:17,960
gain the whole world,
536
00:18:18,120 –> 00:18:20,040
but never enter the kingdom of God?
537
00:18:20,880 –> 00:18:21,720
But while you’re waiting,
538
00:18:21,720 –> 00:18:24,440
Nowacki wants you to remember that overreaction is
539
00:18:24,440 –> 00:18:26,120
not a sound financial strategy.
540
00:18:26,520 –> 00:18:32,400
So call Luke Nowacki at 248-663-4748 for sound financial
541
00:18:33,240 –> 00:18:33,960
Archangel,
542
00:18:34,000 –> 00:18:35,880
are you an entrepreneur looking for a safe and socially
543
00:18:35,880 –> 00:18:37,560
responsible real estate investment?
544
00:18:37,960 –> 00:18:39,160
I don’t mean to make it sound like this,
545
00:18:39,160 –> 00:18:40,200
but it’s franchising.
546
00:18:40,600 –> 00:18:42,040
You are a caregiver.
547
00:18:43,240 –> 00:18:47,160
You buy the product from Archangel.
548
00:18:49,760 –> 00:18:51,080
They staff it for you,
549
00:18:51,640 –> 00:18:52,840
they get the property,
550
00:18:52,840 –> 00:18:54,840
that’s what the investors come in for.
551
00:18:55,160 –> 00:18:58,200
And you like a restaurant,
552
00:18:58,360 –> 00:18:59,000
work it off,
553
00:18:59,040 –> 00:19:01,800
and eventually you become the owner.
554
00:19:02,040 –> 00:19:03,480
The investor gets paid,
555
00:19:05,720 –> 00:19:08,880
the caregivers can actually end up being their own
556
00:19:10,840 –> 00:19:13,080
People get to live in communities,
557
00:19:13,320 –> 00:19:14,360
they’re clean,
558
00:19:14,520 –> 00:19:15,640
they’re small,
559
00:19:15,960 –> 00:19:16,760
they’re tight,
560
00:19:17,080 –> 00:19:18,560
if you are interested.
561
00:19:19,280 –> 00:19:21,480
in investing in this.
562
00:19:21,960 –> 00:19:25,000
You’ll get a better explanation from Archangel.
563
00:19:25,960 –> 00:19:28,840
989-614-0416.
564
00:19:28,840 –> 00:19:29,240
Believe me,
565
00:19:29,400 –> 00:19:30,280
this is the future.
566
00:19:30,280 –> 00:19:31,320
This is what’s happening.
567
00:19:31,480 –> 00:19:34,520
989-614-0416.
568
00:19:35,000 –> 00:19:35,440
Well, you know,
569
00:19:35,440 –> 00:19:36,120
when it rains,
570
00:19:36,120 –> 00:19:36,960
the power goes out.
571
00:19:36,960 –> 00:19:38,240
And when the power goes out,
572
00:19:38,240 –> 00:19:39,200
the internet goes out.
573
00:19:39,200 –> 00:19:40,200
When the internet goes out,
574
00:19:40,200 –> 00:19:43,400
I call my friend Matt and Bernie at XG Service Group.
575
00:19:43,640 –> 00:19:45,400
Look at Bernie here on his hands and knees,
576
00:19:45,640 –> 00:19:46,920
giving it everything he’s got.
577
00:19:47,600 –> 00:19:48,680
Look at that man crack.
578
00:19:49,000 –> 00:19:51,520
So busy, he forgot to wear a belt.
579
00:19:51,560 –> 00:19:53,640
There’s Matt right there getting the board together.
580
00:19:53,640 –> 00:19:56,360
That’s 734-245-4100.
581
00:19:56,360 –> 00:19:59,160
If you need Matt and Bernie to come take care of your
582
00:19:59,160 –> 00:20:00,120
voice over internet,
583
00:20:00,360 –> 00:20:01,480
your security cameras,
584
00:20:01,720 –> 00:20:03,320
off-campus access control,
585
00:20:03,560 –> 00:20:05,960
Wi-Fi and cameras for homes and business,
586
00:20:05,960 –> 00:20:07,080
they’ll design it for you.
587
00:20:07,320 –> 00:20:08,120
You got restaurants,
588
00:20:08,120 –> 00:20:09,320
they do drive-thru systems,
589
00:20:09,320 –> 00:20:11,080
railroad cameras for public safety,
590
00:20:11,320 –> 00:20:14,400
total wireless camera systems for your home and business.
591
00:20:14,400 –> 00:20:14,800
Yeah, that’s right.
592
00:20:14,800 –> 00:20:17,520
Call XG services at 734-245-4100.
593
00:20:17,600 –> 00:20:19,120
245, 4100.
594
00:20:20,920 –> 00:20:21,400
All right.
595
00:20:21,720 –> 00:20:23,000
Now, let me just,
596
00:20:23,080 –> 00:20:24,760
because I can’t even read my notes,
597
00:20:24,760 –> 00:20:26,360
Terrell Germaine Starr,
598
00:20:26,600 –> 00:20:29,960
who is in Kiev right as we speak.
599
00:20:29,960 –> 00:20:33,800
You can follow him on his official YouTube site,
600
00:20:33,800 –> 00:20:34,880
Black Diplomats.
601
00:20:34,880 –> 00:20:36,200
He’s also on Substack,
602
00:20:37,560 –> 00:20:38,840
born and raised in Detroit.
603
00:20:38,840 –> 00:20:41,240
And dude, what the hell are you doing in Kiev?
604
00:20:41,320 –> 00:20:42,680
Last time we spoke to you,
605
00:20:42,920 –> 00:20:45,560
you were at a checkpoint and they had guns and the
606
00:20:45,560 –> 00:20:46,760
war just lit off.
607
00:20:47,280 –> 00:20:48,400
And he’s just driving around like,
608
00:20:48,400 –> 00:20:48,960
hold on a minute,
609
00:20:48,960 –> 00:20:49,440
hold on a minute,
610
00:20:49,440 –> 00:20:52,680
I’m gonna bullshit my way through this fucking checkpoint.
611
00:20:53,200 –> 00:20:54,120
And here he is.
612
00:20:54,120 –> 00:20:55,720
He’s worldwide.
613
00:20:55,800 –> 00:20:56,520
Thanks for coming on,
614
00:20:58,120 –> 00:20:58,920
Oh, absolutely.
615
00:20:58,960 –> 00:21:01,080
Thank you all so very much for having me.
616
00:21:01,080 –> 00:21:03,160
Looking forward to talking about all things Ukraine.
617
00:21:03,640 –> 00:21:05,920
Okay, so you and Trick,
618
00:21:05,920 –> 00:21:06,760
this is great.
619
00:21:06,760 –> 00:21:07,520
Okay, so Trick,
620
00:21:07,520 –> 00:21:10,120
it took a while,
621
00:21:10,120 –> 00:21:11,160
but you came out,
622
00:21:11,520 –> 00:21:12,760
Trump comes to Detroit,
623
00:21:13,560 –> 00:21:14,520
you endorse the guy.
624
00:21:16,760 –> 00:21:18,080
I introduced him.
625
00:21:18,080 –> 00:21:19,000
Check, check.
626
00:21:19,720 –> 00:21:20,480
I introduced him.
627
00:21:21,080 –> 00:21:22,480
To the city that night.
628
00:21:23,000 –> 00:21:24,520
‘Cause an endorsement is to say,
629
00:21:25,000 –> 00:21:27,200
I need everybody to vote for this,
630
00:21:27,200 –> 00:21:28,040
that, and the other.
631
00:21:28,680 –> 00:21:30,080
You know, that’s an endorsement.
632
00:21:30,680 –> 00:21:31,440
I introduced him.
633
00:21:31,680 –> 00:21:32,680
I voted for him too.
634
00:21:32,760 –> 00:21:33,800
Yeah, I voted for him,
635
00:21:35,480 –> 00:21:36,520
I didn’t vote for him before,
636
00:21:36,520 –> 00:21:39,520
but I don’t think I had any choice the way the country
637
00:21:39,520 –> 00:21:39,960
was going.
638
00:21:40,120 –> 00:21:42,120
Now, you were up on,
639
00:21:42,160 –> 00:21:44,840
what do you make of Ukraine
640
00:21:45,560 –> 00:21:50,120
and the billions and billions going overseas when you’re
641
00:21:50,120 –> 00:21:51,560
seeing what’s going on in this city.
642
00:21:52,000 –> 00:21:55,320
I don’t support money going anywhere until home is
643
00:21:55,320 –> 00:21:56,120
taken care of.
644
00:21:56,280 –> 00:22:00,440
You know, you don’t drive a half $1,000,000 car and
645
00:22:00,440 –> 00:22:02,360
your house only worth 100,000,
646
00:22:02,440 –> 00:22:03,120
you know what I mean?
647
00:22:03,120 –> 00:22:04,200
And it ain’t paid for.
648
00:22:04,680 –> 00:22:07,000
You know, it’s just common fucking sense.
649
00:22:07,000 –> 00:22:07,720
It’s like,
650
00:22:07,960 –> 00:22:09,240
take care of home first.
651
00:22:09,480 –> 00:22:14,440
Why are we financing a war in another country over
652
00:22:15,560 –> 00:22:16,600
some NATO shit,
653
00:22:17,240 –> 00:22:20,200
and we still got homeless veterans in America.
654
00:22:20,680 –> 00:22:22,400
You know, we still got homeless people.
655
00:22:22,440 –> 00:22:25,240
We still have bad water pipes.
656
00:22:25,240 –> 00:22:27,840
We still got a million other issues that need to be
657
00:22:27,840 –> 00:22:29,880
solved right here in America.
658
00:22:29,880 –> 00:22:30,680
We still, we got,
659
00:22:30,680 –> 00:22:34,120
we got, we got walking in the bathroom behind women,
660
00:22:34,360 –> 00:22:36,600
and it was perfectly damn legal.
661
00:22:36,760 –> 00:22:39,680
We got men beating the shit out of women in women’s
662
00:22:39,680 –> 00:22:42,800
sports, and it was perfectly goddamn legal.
663
00:22:43,000 –> 00:22:45,320
We got transgenders or transgenders.
664
00:22:45,440 –> 00:22:48,280
sisters or whatever the fuck they are coming in schools
665
00:22:48,600 –> 00:22:49,680
talking to children.
666
00:22:49,680 –> 00:22:51,920
What the fuck is you doing talking to these babies?
667
00:22:51,920 –> 00:22:52,680
About what?
668
00:22:53,200 –> 00:22:53,680
What are you,
669
00:22:53,680 –> 00:22:54,840
what the fuck?
670
00:22:54,840 –> 00:22:56,360
How the fuck did we get here?
671
00:22:57,080 –> 00:22:57,720
At this point,
672
00:22:57,840 –> 00:22:59,880
America, we got a goddamn problem.
673
00:23:00,000 –> 00:23:02,280
And clearly we can see now what it is.
674
00:23:02,520 –> 00:23:06,440
All the money and resources that needed for America
675
00:23:06,440 –> 00:23:08,200
is being sent everywhere else.
676
00:23:08,440 –> 00:23:09,800
Terrell, let me ask you then.
677
00:23:10,680 –> 00:23:13,600
I did back of the envelope calculation for about $5
678
00:23:15,400 –> 00:23:18,040
The 40,000 homeless vets in this country,
679
00:23:18,200 –> 00:23:18,680
we could,
680
00:23:18,760 –> 00:23:19,880
with the land,
681
00:23:20,280 –> 00:23:22,200
we could build them a double-wide,
682
00:23:22,200 –> 00:23:25,240
nice double-wide trailer for 5 billion.
683
00:23:26,440 –> 00:23:27,400
What is the value?
684
00:23:27,400 –> 00:23:28,440
You’re in Ukraine.
685
00:23:28,440 –> 00:23:33,360
What is the value of the Ukraine becoming a constant
686
00:23:33,360 –> 00:23:34,520
ward of the United States?
687
00:23:35,560 –> 00:23:36,520
I appreciate the question.
688
00:23:36,840 –> 00:23:39,600
I’m a little bit thrown back by all the extreme transphobia
689
00:23:40,520 –> 00:23:41,360
that I just heard.
690
00:23:41,360 –> 00:23:42,800
I don’t give a fuck about all that,
691
00:23:43,160 –> 00:23:43,800
That’s, yeah,
692
00:23:43,800 –> 00:23:45,520
he asked you a question about something else.
693
00:23:45,520 –> 00:23:47,160
You ain’t got to come back and what the fuck I just
694
00:23:47,320 –> 00:23:51,720
Well, I find it pretty interesting that you talk about.
695
00:23:51,800 –> 00:23:54,240
You just got asked a question and you still talking
696
00:23:54,240 –> 00:23:54,920
to me, bro.
697
00:23:54,920 –> 00:23:56,920
I answered my question to him.
698
00:23:57,240 –> 00:23:57,760
You just asked,
699
00:23:58,360 –> 00:23:59,160
talk to Charlie,
700
00:23:59,640 –> 00:24:01,440
I get the right to respond to you that.
701
00:24:01,680 –> 00:24:03,120
I ain’t asked you a motherfucking thing.
702
00:24:03,120 –> 00:24:04,440
You ain’t got to respond shit to me.
703
00:24:04,600 –> 00:24:05,040
Talk to Charlie.
704
00:24:05,960 –> 00:24:06,640
Well, that’s fine.
705
00:24:06,680 –> 00:24:07,800
He asked you a question.
706
00:24:08,200 –> 00:24:09,160
I ain’t answer shit,
707
00:24:10,280 –> 00:24:11,080
You voted for it.
708
00:24:11,160 –> 00:24:11,640
See, still,
709
00:24:11,720 –> 00:24:12,960
look, still fucking talking.
710
00:24:13,160 –> 00:24:14,160
You don’t ask this anything,
711
00:24:16,080 –> 00:24:17,480
I’m not here to talk to him,
712
00:24:17,680 –> 00:24:18,680
I’m here to talk to you.
713
00:24:19,000 –> 00:24:19,880
I don’t want to hear shit,
714
00:24:19,880 –> 00:24:20,720
dog, got to say.
715
00:24:20,720 –> 00:24:21,800
He started off wrong.
716
00:24:21,800 –> 00:24:22,760
I don’t know,
717
00:24:22,800 –> 00:24:23,320
chick, chick.
718
00:24:23,560 –> 00:24:24,320
Tell me about you.
719
00:24:24,320 –> 00:24:25,160
Well, sir,
720
00:24:25,200 –> 00:24:26,160
I was trying to polite,
721
00:24:26,160 –> 00:24:27,440
sir, but now that I was,
722
00:24:27,520 –> 00:24:29,160
so you can,
723
00:24:29,160 –> 00:24:29,600
well, will you,
724
00:24:30,360 –> 00:24:31,160
well, okay.
725
00:24:31,160 –> 00:24:32,640
So is it really that deep?
726
00:24:32,640 –> 00:24:33,840
So why are you?
727
00:24:35,740 –> 00:24:39,020
Well, how am I supposed to sit here and deal with the
728
00:24:39,020 –> 00:24:41,340
extreme transphobia that you’re doing?
729
00:24:42,940 –> 00:24:45,300
Why are you so like your verbal language?
730
00:24:47,660 –> 00:24:50,300
I don’t want to hear that shit.
731
00:24:50,300 –> 00:24:51,300
You don’t run shit here.
732
00:24:51,980 –> 00:24:54,140
How the fuck you don’t get to fucking tell me how to
733
00:24:54,140 –> 00:24:55,780
think or how to talk.
734
00:24:55,820 –> 00:24:56,780
Do your fucking job.
735
00:24:58,140 –> 00:24:58,700
You don’t got to.
736
00:24:58,780 –> 00:24:59,580
What is my job?
737
00:24:59,740 –> 00:25:00,820
You can shut the fuck up,
738
00:25:01,020 –> 00:25:02,780
and keep talking to this man.
739
00:25:03,260 –> 00:25:05,060
I ain’t ask you a goddamn thing.
740
00:25:05,180 –> 00:25:06,100
Why are you so angry?
741
00:25:08,540 –> 00:25:09,020
You can’t.
742
00:25:09,380 –> 00:25:13,900
I find it so interesting that you have so little self-control
743
00:25:13,900 –> 00:25:14,380
about yourself.
744
00:25:17,340 –> 00:25:19,340
This is just so interesting.
745
00:25:19,340 –> 00:25:19,940
You’re just,
746
00:25:20,180 –> 00:25:20,620
Fuck ass like that.
747
00:25:21,980 –> 00:25:25,020
You lack so much emotional self-control.
748
00:25:27,500 –> 00:25:29,420
I wasn’t saying anything.
749
00:25:29,780 –> 00:25:32,860
I’m just saying that.
750
00:25:32,860 –> 00:25:35,700
Who the fuck made you the moral authority over how
751
00:25:35,860 –> 00:25:36,980
any fucking body talk,
752
00:25:38,860 –> 00:25:41,100
Well, I found that interesting because.
753
00:25:42,380 –> 00:25:45,060
Who made you the moral authority to tell anybody how
754
00:25:46,180 –> 00:25:49,140
Where the fuck do you get your positioning to tell
755
00:25:49,300 –> 00:25:50,220
anybody how to talk?
756
00:25:50,220 –> 00:25:51,180
I’ll wait now.
757
00:25:53,260 –> 00:25:54,540
I didn’t fucking think so.
758
00:25:55,740 –> 00:25:56,980
Now, if you will,
759
00:25:57,180 –> 00:25:59,860
answer Charlie the Duff’s fucking question and please
760
00:25:59,860 –> 00:26:00,860
stop talking to me.
761
00:26:01,020 –> 00:26:02,580
I ain’t here to conversate with you,
762
00:26:03,980 –> 00:26:06,460
I don’t give a fuck about what you’re talking about,
763
00:26:06,500 –> 00:26:09,340
trans, these nuts,.
764
00:26:09,340 –> 00:26:10,100
Shut the fuck up.
765
00:26:10,100 –> 00:26:11,580
What did this make you so angry?
766
00:26:11,780 –> 00:26:13,420
What did this make you so angry?
767
00:26:13,420 –> 00:26:13,900
You talking to me,
768
00:26:13,980 –> 00:26:15,180
because you are the place,
769
00:26:15,740 –> 00:26:18,340
You talking to me and this man asked you a question.
770
00:26:18,780 –> 00:26:19,660
You out of place.
771
00:26:20,380 –> 00:26:21,980
You don’t get to tell me how to think.
772
00:26:22,060 –> 00:26:23,620
You don’t get to tell me how to talk.
773
00:26:23,900 –> 00:26:25,420
You don’t know nothing about me.
774
00:26:25,420 –> 00:26:26,940
You stated that from the beginning.
775
00:26:27,180 –> 00:26:28,060
So at this point,
776
00:26:28,060 –> 00:26:29,660
me and you have no dialogue.
777
00:26:30,460 –> 00:26:31,900
You started off wrong.
778
00:26:31,900 –> 00:26:33,260
You started it wrong.
779
00:26:33,700 –> 00:26:36,300
When you when he told you about said something earlier,
780
00:26:36,300 –> 00:26:37,740
you no, I don’t trick,
781
00:26:37,740 –> 00:26:38,460
trick, tell me,
782
00:26:38,460 –> 00:26:39,020
who are you?
783
00:26:39,380 –> 00:26:43,380
And I told you that I was joking.
784
00:26:43,380 –> 00:26:43,820
OK, shame on you.
785
00:26:44,060 –> 00:26:45,660
I don’t expect you to know who I am,
786
00:26:46,060 –> 00:26:47,820
but the way you came at me like that,
787
00:26:48,620 –> 00:26:49,020
the way, yeah,
788
00:26:50,180 –> 00:26:51,940
And then now you are talking about how I talk.
789
00:26:52,940 –> 00:26:54,500
Bro, where you get these?
790
00:26:54,500 –> 00:26:57,180
Yeah, it makes sense here in Ukraine.
791
00:26:57,780 –> 00:26:58,860
That’s a turn of events.
792
00:27:00,140 –> 00:27:00,580
It’s been worse.
793
00:27:00,580 –> 00:27:03,220
None of your mother fucking kids tell me how to talk,
794
00:27:03,860 –> 00:27:06,020
I’ll answer the question now that I’ve dealt with this
795
00:27:06,020 –> 00:27:06,780
transphobia.
796
00:27:07,780 –> 00:27:07,980
All right,
797
00:27:08,260 –> 00:27:10,060
talk about nothing,
798
00:27:11,580 –> 00:27:13,100
So why don’t you just repeat the question?
799
00:27:14,220 –> 00:27:15,180
Please, please,
800
00:27:15,260 –> 00:27:18,460
Trump has halted weapon sales to Ukraine.
801
00:27:19,220 –> 00:27:20,300
What does that mean?
802
00:27:23,340 –> 00:27:25,820
Is Russia going to be able to sweep through Europe?
803
00:27:26,140 –> 00:27:29,020
If they can’t sweep through Kharkiv,
804
00:27:29,260 –> 00:27:31,100
I don’t see how they make their way to Berlin.
805
00:27:33,180 –> 00:27:35,580
How important is the American backing?
806
00:27:35,740 –> 00:27:36,620
Why can’t Europe do it?
807
00:27:37,980 –> 00:27:39,340
Well, there was another question.
808
00:27:39,340 –> 00:27:43,260
One, you have to remember that the security architecture
809
00:27:43,740 –> 00:27:46,220
of NATO has long depended on the US.
810
00:27:46,260 –> 00:27:49,380
And so to get to your immediate question about the
811
00:27:49,500 –> 00:27:50,300
A being cut off,
812
00:27:51,380 –> 00:27:54,380
There’s roughly about three months of US aid available
813
00:27:54,380 –> 00:27:57,700
now, and much of that aid has been for air defense.
814
00:27:57,700 –> 00:27:59,260
And so every single day,
815
00:27:59,420 –> 00:28:03,740
people wake up here to drones and missiles being targeting,
816
00:28:03,820 –> 00:28:06,140
no, targeting civilian locations.
817
00:28:06,140 –> 00:28:07,180
So for example,
818
00:28:07,580 –> 00:28:10,380
Buildings around my neighborhood have been hit by drone
819
00:28:10,780 –> 00:28:11,980
My trainer,
820
00:28:11,980 –> 00:28:12,620
for example,
821
00:28:12,620 –> 00:28:15,260
a building just maybe two buildings away,
822
00:28:15,500 –> 00:28:19,100
hit a neighbor and killed a well-known journalist
823
00:28:19,340 –> 00:28:20,580
So it’s air defense.
824
00:28:20,580 –> 00:28:23,500
So it directly impacts infrastructure.
825
00:28:24,180 –> 00:28:25,300
And so without that aid,
826
00:28:25,900 –> 00:28:26,780
it means that
827
00:28:27,180 –> 00:28:30,780
the protection that civilians have will no longer exist.
828
00:28:30,780 –> 00:28:34,940
It means that the 155 millimeter rounds that the Ukrainians
829
00:28:34,940 –> 00:28:37,100
need on the battlefield will no longer be there.
830
00:28:37,100 –> 00:28:37,900
Nor there.
831
00:28:38,620 –> 00:28:40,140
What’s the end game here?
832
00:28:40,260 –> 00:28:41,140
What’s the end game?
833
00:28:41,500 –> 00:28:45,500
So I don’t think the reason why I can’t tell you is
834
00:28:45,500 –> 00:28:49,300
because the United States nor Europe ever told us.
835
00:28:49,300 –> 00:28:51,420
They said we’re going to be in for as long as it takes.
836
00:28:51,740 –> 00:28:53,180
Now, my personal opinion,
837
00:28:53,660 –> 00:28:56,860
is that had the United States provided all the weaponry
838
00:28:57,020 –> 00:29:00,820
at the right times and in the right volumes and the
839
00:29:01,100 –> 00:29:02,620
requisite training along with it,
840
00:29:02,780 –> 00:29:04,940
they could have defeated Russia and pushed them out
841
00:29:04,940 –> 00:29:07,020
of their currently occupied territories.
842
00:29:07,380 –> 00:29:08,940
But in order to do that,
843
00:29:09,340 –> 00:29:11,500
that means that you have to see a Russia that was
844
00:29:11,500 –> 00:29:12,620
defeated and they don’t know,
845
00:29:12,860 –> 00:29:15,140
and Europe was not prepared,
846
00:29:15,140 –> 00:29:16,940
nor the United States was prepared for what that would
847
00:29:16,940 –> 00:29:17,380
look like.
848
00:29:18,380 –> 00:29:19,820
Yeah, I just,
849
00:29:20,060 –> 00:29:21,740
having been to Russia,
850
00:29:21,900 –> 00:29:23,100
Ukraine, I just,
851
00:29:23,260 –> 00:29:26,060
I can’t see it.
852
00:29:26,620 –> 00:29:27,700
Russia is so vast.
853
00:29:28,060 –> 00:29:28,780
They haven’t even.
854
00:29:28,780 –> 00:29:29,500
See what though?
855
00:29:29,580 –> 00:29:30,340
So why can’t you see it?
856
00:29:30,620 –> 00:29:33,500
I can’t see Ukraine defeating Russia.
857
00:29:33,660 –> 00:29:35,820
The Russia’s 4 times larger.
858
00:29:35,820 –> 00:29:36,620
I just because.
859
00:29:36,620 –> 00:29:39,260
They don’t have the manpower,
860
00:29:39,580 –> 00:29:41,260
I mean, you know,
861
00:29:41,260 –> 00:29:42,020
they don’t have the manpower.
862
00:29:42,260 –> 00:29:43,940
OK, so let’s look at it.
863
00:29:43,940 –> 00:29:45,860
So according to their first of all,
864
00:29:45,900 –> 00:29:46,420
there are no.
865
00:29:47,660 –> 00:29:51,340
There’s no real official open data from officially
866
00:29:51,340 –> 00:29:54,060
from the government of Ukraine or Russia that speaks
867
00:29:54,060 –> 00:29:57,260
to how many men and women that they’ve lost.
868
00:29:57,260 –> 00:29:57,820
And we know,
869
00:29:58,300 –> 00:29:59,020
and Charlie,
870
00:29:59,020 –> 00:29:59,980
you cover wars yourself.
871
00:29:59,980 –> 00:30:01,260
When people talk about casualties,
872
00:30:01,260 –> 00:30:03,060
casualties mean dead,
873
00:30:03,060 –> 00:30:04,940
it means killed in action,
874
00:30:04,940 –> 00:30:05,980
it means injured,
875
00:30:05,980 –> 00:30:07,580
it means missing in action.
876
00:30:07,860 –> 00:30:10,380
And so basically Russia,
877
00:30:10,780 –> 00:30:13,660
according to all available intelligence,
878
00:30:13,660 –> 00:30:15,620
roughly about 800,000
879
00:30:16,140 –> 00:30:18,940
Russian soldiers have been,
880
00:30:19,580 –> 00:30:19,940
you know,
881
00:30:19,980 –> 00:30:22,860
there are casualties in about 200,000 of those or
882
00:30:22,860 –> 00:30:23,940
so or possibly have been killed.
883
00:30:23,940 –> 00:30:24,900
The rest of them are injured,
884
00:30:24,900 –> 00:30:25,580
missing in action,
885
00:30:25,580 –> 00:30:26,540
whereas in Ukraine,
886
00:30:26,780 –> 00:30:28,580
something around 200 to 300,000,
887
00:30:28,580 –> 00:30:29,900
somewhere around that number.
888
00:30:30,060 –> 00:30:32,780
Now, it’s important to note that since 2014,
889
00:30:33,900 –> 00:30:36,740
the Russians really did not extend
890
00:30:38,220 –> 00:30:39,380
I’ll go back to 2022.
891
00:30:39,380 –> 00:30:39,820
I’m sorry.
892
00:30:39,820 –> 00:30:42,340
So the Russians have not advanced well.
893
00:30:42,340 –> 00:30:44,220
And so after a total of 10 years,
894
00:30:44,220 –> 00:30:46,220
the Russians have only been able to occupy 20%
895
00:30:46,220 –> 00:30:47,180
of this country.
896
00:30:47,620 –> 00:30:49,820
And so they have a large number,
897
00:30:49,820 –> 00:30:51,020
they have a large population,
898
00:30:51,060 –> 00:30:53,100
120 million or so to draw from,
899
00:30:53,420 –> 00:30:55,420
but that doesn’t necessarily mean all those people
900
00:30:55,420 –> 00:30:55,900
are willing.
901
00:30:55,900 –> 00:30:58,940
And then you also know that the tactics that the Russians
902
00:30:58,940 –> 00:31:00,460
use, which are waived attacks,
903
00:31:00,860 –> 00:31:03,340
have a high casualty rate and they don’t make up a
904
00:31:03,340 –> 00:31:06,580
whole lot of kilometers for the people who are killed.
905
00:31:06,780 –> 00:31:08,180
Now, the Ukrainians are,
906
00:31:08,620 –> 00:31:08,900
right, right.
907
00:31:08,900 –> 00:31:11,180
And so another thing is that the Russians are losing
908
00:31:11,180 –> 00:31:14,300
4 soldiers to 1 Ukrainian.
909
00:31:14,340 –> 00:31:17,340
And so as far as the numerical disadvantage,
910
00:31:17,340 –> 00:31:18,460
you’re right about that.
911
00:31:18,460 –> 00:31:20,220
But as far as saying that they don’t have,
912
00:31:20,780 –> 00:31:22,060
the Ukrainians don’t have the manpower,
913
00:31:22,060 –> 00:31:23,500
they’re extremely low.
914
00:31:23,660 –> 00:31:26,060
But we all know that manpower is not the only issue
915
00:31:26,380 –> 00:31:27,740
It’s also the attack comes,
916
00:31:27,900 –> 00:31:29,500
it’s also long range,
917
00:31:30,220 –> 00:31:30,740
long, long,
918
00:31:30,820 –> 00:31:31,580
raid strikes.
919
00:31:31,980 –> 00:31:34,540
And so the reason why that attacking story was such
920
00:31:34,580 –> 00:31:36,420
a big deal and why that delay hurt them,
921
00:31:36,420 –> 00:31:38,540
and you know that the Germans,
922
00:31:38,860 –> 00:31:41,180
they have a Taurus missile that could strike even
923
00:31:42,300 –> 00:31:43,660
They refuse to send,
924
00:31:43,900 –> 00:31:46,220
they send those to Ukraine in fear of an escalation,
925
00:31:46,220 –> 00:31:48,980
even though the Russians fire into civilian locations
926
00:31:48,980 –> 00:31:49,900
every single day.
927
00:31:49,900 –> 00:31:50,580
Every single day.
928
00:31:51,820 –> 00:31:52,300
Every single day.
929
00:31:52,300 –> 00:31:52,980
But the thing is,
930
00:31:53,180 –> 00:31:53,740
it’s just not,
931
00:31:53,900 –> 00:31:56,300
my point is that I think we can concede that it’s
932
00:31:56,300 –> 00:31:58,180
not simply a manpower issue.
933
00:31:58,180 –> 00:31:59,900
And one more thing to that is that
934
00:32:00,940 –> 00:32:04,380
The Russians can afford to send more people now,
935
00:32:04,460 –> 00:32:07,260
but they can’t do that indefinitely because at some
936
00:32:07,260 –> 00:32:11,020
point, there’s only so many ethnic minorities from
937
00:32:11,020 –> 00:32:13,340
the southern regions of Russia that they can throw
938
00:32:13,340 –> 00:32:14,460
into this meat rider,
939
00:32:14,540 –> 00:32:16,380
before they go deeper into Russia.
940
00:32:17,460 –> 00:32:19,980
And because right now you see that they’re recruiting
941
00:32:20,300 –> 00:32:22,020
people from Africa,
942
00:32:22,140 –> 00:32:24,300
they’re recruiting from Central Asia,
943
00:32:24,460 –> 00:32:27,060
North Korea,
944
00:32:27,060 –> 00:32:27,620
et cetera.
945
00:32:27,620 –> 00:32:29,500
And the thing about the North Koreans is that
946
00:32:30,340 –> 00:32:31,740
And if you look at Telegram,
947
00:32:31,820 –> 00:32:34,100
there are plenty of Telegram channels that show you
948
00:32:34,140 –> 00:32:35,260
all the details,
949
00:32:35,580 –> 00:32:38,380
In that these North Koreans are not used to modern
950
00:32:39,180 –> 00:32:41,020
And so they’re ultimately different bodies.
951
00:32:41,140 –> 00:32:43,500
They’re ultimately being thrown into the meat rider.
952
00:32:43,500 –> 00:32:44,780
Now what they are doing,
953
00:32:45,220 –> 00:32:48,180
and this goes back to the Russians or North Koreans
954
00:32:48,180 –> 00:32:48,940
and the Iranians.
955
00:32:49,820 –> 00:32:50,980
having a unified front,
956
00:32:51,580 –> 00:32:54,860
is that the North Koreans can send their ballistic
957
00:32:54,860 –> 00:32:57,700
missiles to Russia and to Russia,
958
00:32:57,700 –> 00:33:00,100
and then they can fire into Ukraine because they have
959
00:33:00,100 –> 00:33:03,500
a they have a supply shortage because of the microchips
960
00:33:03,500 –> 00:33:05,180
that are needed that usually come from the West.
961
00:33:05,420 –> 00:33:07,500
They’re not sending them anymore because of the sanctions.
962
00:33:07,500 –> 00:33:10,700
And so the North Korean ballistic missiles weren’t
963
00:33:10,700 –> 00:33:12,860
as accurate when they first got here,
964
00:33:14,060 –> 00:33:14,620
to Russia,
965
00:33:14,620 –> 00:33:16,220
then fired into Ukraine.
966
00:33:16,220 –> 00:33:17,740
But Russian engineers
967
00:33:18,180 –> 00:33:21,820
have adjusted the missiles so that they are a lot more
968
00:33:21,820 –> 00:33:22,260
accurate.
969
00:33:22,260 –> 00:33:23,820
And so the Russians have far,
970
00:33:23,900 –> 00:33:28,620
there’s the axis of authoritarians are far more united
971
00:33:28,940 –> 00:33:32,740
and care more about Ukraine and the victory than the
972
00:33:32,940 –> 00:33:33,540
West does.
973
00:33:34,060 –> 00:33:34,940
That’s the primary issue.
974
00:33:35,580 –> 00:33:37,020
It’s not particularly manpower,
975
00:33:37,100 –> 00:33:38,060
if that makes sense to you.
976
00:33:38,060 –> 00:33:38,620
Yeah, it does.
977
00:33:38,780 –> 00:33:39,660
For the final question,
978
00:33:39,660 –> 00:33:40,300
let me just,
979
00:33:40,380 –> 00:33:41,660
what was your take?
980
00:33:42,500 –> 00:33:47,220
On the scene in the Oval Office last Friday with Trump
981
00:33:47,220 –> 00:33:48,780
and Zelensky in the back and forth,
982
00:33:48,900 –> 00:33:51,980
what do you think of it and where does it leave us?
983
00:33:52,860 –> 00:33:54,140
Okay, so one,
984
00:33:54,140 –> 00:33:56,780
that was a setup as far as I’m concerned.
985
00:33:56,780 –> 00:33:57,660
Trump had no,
986
00:33:57,740 –> 00:33:58,220
and Trump,
987
00:33:58,260 –> 00:34:01,620
neither Trump nor Vance had any real interest in that
988
00:34:01,620 –> 00:34:02,540
deal getting done.
989
00:34:03,100 –> 00:34:04,220
And let’s deal with the structure,
990
00:34:04,220 –> 00:34:06,620
because I watched the full 50 minute
991
00:34:07,860 –> 00:34:09,220
50 minute presser,
992
00:34:09,980 –> 00:34:11,740
So everything went normally,
993
00:34:11,740 –> 00:34:17,020
the problem came in where Trump and then Vance were
994
00:34:17,020 –> 00:34:18,220
talking about,
995
00:34:19,500 –> 00:34:21,340
about Zelensky pursuing peace,
996
00:34:21,700 –> 00:34:24,180
And trying to find a way to resolve the issue.
997
00:34:24,220 –> 00:34:25,220
So here’s the thing,
998
00:34:25,220 –> 00:34:26,900
and this is where you have to really understand Ukrainian
999
00:34:26,900 –> 00:34:27,380
politics.
1000
00:34:27,740 –> 00:34:31,580
Zelensky ran on a platform that he’s going to take
1001
00:34:31,660 –> 00:34:34,300
an even middle ground towards Russia.
1002
00:34:34,820 –> 00:34:38,780
And so the idea that there were no efforts made prior
1003
00:34:38,780 –> 00:34:42,420
to this war to find a resolution to the Luhansk and
1004
00:34:42,420 –> 00:34:46,780
Donbas and Crimea occupations is just inaccurate,
1005
00:34:47,180 –> 00:34:48,780
So that’s just the thing.
1006
00:34:48,780 –> 00:34:52,140
And so there were multiple times where the Russians
1007
00:34:52,540 –> 00:34:57,380
violated the Minsk accords more than 25 times during,
1008
00:34:57,420 –> 00:34:57,660
you know,
1009
00:34:58,420 –> 00:35:00,700
and so when Zelensky was talking about peace,
1010
00:35:00,700 –> 00:35:01,020
his whole,
1011
00:35:01,180 –> 00:35:03,660
when Zelensky was responding to Vance and Trump,
1012
00:35:04,300 –> 00:35:06,780
That was what really threw it off because he said,
1013
00:35:06,780 –> 00:35:07,660
hey, wait a minute,
1014
00:35:07,660 –> 00:35:08,500
what do you mean?
1015
00:35:08,500 –> 00:35:11,340
And so as a sitting president that’s gone through war
1016
00:35:12,220 –> 00:35:14,060
since 2022 for three years,
1017
00:35:14,940 –> 00:35:19,180
you’re asking this man to sit here and watch you grossly
1018
00:35:19,180 –> 00:35:22,300
mischaracterize and flat out say mistruth about what
1019
00:35:22,300 –> 00:35:23,180
actually happened,
1020
00:35:23,420 –> 00:35:25,340
So we can talk about how he should have behaved,
1021
00:35:25,900 –> 00:35:30,220
but this man is a leader of pre-war 45 million people.
1022
00:35:30,580 –> 00:35:33,700
And so he has to come back to his people with his head
1023
00:35:33,700 –> 00:35:34,300
held high.
1024
00:35:34,340 –> 00:35:36,540
And he also has his own political stature here.
1025
00:35:36,780 –> 00:35:39,660
Now, when we talk about the mineral deal,
1026
00:35:40,220 –> 00:35:41,660
it’s flat out exploitation,
1027
00:35:41,900 –> 00:35:43,500
Because the way,
1028
00:35:43,860 –> 00:35:47,220
and I’m still trying to figure out exactly what the
1029
00:35:47,220 –> 00:35:47,740
deal was,
1030
00:35:47,740 –> 00:35:49,180
not hear what he says,
1031
00:35:49,180 –> 00:35:52,180
but when he talks about the American people need to
1032
00:35:52,220 –> 00:35:54,220
benefit from the money that we spent in this war,
1033
00:35:54,220 –> 00:35:55,500
as I told you earlier,
1034
00:35:56,460 –> 00:35:59,060
a lion’s share of that money,
1035
00:35:59,180 –> 00:35:59,820
and Charlie,
1036
00:35:59,820 –> 00:36:01,100
I think I know you know this,
1037
00:36:01,420 –> 00:36:03,740
goes to American-US contractors.
1038
00:36:03,740 –> 00:36:05,500
It goes to NATO alliance members.
1039
00:36:05,500 –> 00:36:08,900
There are no briefcases of money that are coming to
1040
00:36:09,420 –> 00:36:10,540
And a lot of the money,
1041
00:36:11,260 –> 00:36:12,300
how we quantify it,
1042
00:36:12,460 –> 00:36:15,580
comes out of US stockpiles that were going to be
1043
00:36:16,220 –> 00:36:17,660
retired at any rate.
1044
00:36:17,740 –> 00:36:20,460
And so when you talk about this mineral deal that he
1045
00:36:20,460 –> 00:36:21,500
was supposed to sign,
1046
00:36:21,740 –> 00:36:25,580
it really is exploitation for the very simple reason
1047
00:36:25,580 –> 00:36:28,060
that US companies,
1048
00:36:28,620 –> 00:36:31,420
Trump’s billionaire buddies or Elon Musk who needs
1049
00:36:31,420 –> 00:36:33,420
lithium, they can use it.
1050
00:36:33,420 –> 00:36:35,220
But when you talk about the average American,
1051
00:36:35,220 –> 00:36:37,820
how is the average American being repaid for this?
1052
00:36:38,180 –> 00:36:39,460
He hasn’t articulated that.
1053
00:36:39,460 –> 00:36:40,380
And I would love to know,
1054
00:36:40,380 –> 00:36:43,020
I would love to see even bullet points.
1055
00:36:43,020 –> 00:36:44,540
I know there’s no budget for it,
1056
00:36:44,700 –> 00:36:46,500
but I think what’s happening here in Keith,
1057
00:36:46,500 –> 00:36:48,220
just to give you a feel of what’s happening,
1058
00:36:48,220 –> 00:36:53,020
people are really in dismay because essentially what
1059
00:36:53,740 –> 00:36:56,100
in Ukraine and the rest of Europe and a lot of Americans
1060
00:36:56,100 –> 00:36:57,060
are failing is that,
1061
00:36:57,060 –> 00:36:59,460
but I’ll state the key because I’m here is that pretty
1062
00:36:59,460 –> 00:37:02,740
much Trump is aligned himself with Putin,
1063
00:37:02,740 –> 00:37:06,020
a man who is a dictator,
1064
00:37:06,100 –> 00:37:09,740
a man who has occupied 20%
1065
00:37:09,900 –> 00:37:12,460
of the country and is committing war crimes against
1066
00:37:12,460 –> 00:37:13,140
their people.
1067
00:37:13,460 –> 00:37:16,660
I’ve spoken to people who are in occupation here about
1068
00:37:16,660 –> 00:37:17,700
the mass tortures,
1069
00:37:17,740 –> 00:37:18,980
the sexual assaults,
1070
00:37:19,300 –> 00:37:19,860
You name it.
1071
00:37:19,860 –> 00:37:22,300
This is who is Trump is allying himself with.
1072
00:37:22,620 –> 00:37:25,540
And he’s putting more pressure on the Ukrainians to
1073
00:37:25,540 –> 00:37:27,860
put themselves in a position where they can see even
1074
00:37:27,860 –> 00:37:29,860
more land as opposed to putting pressure on Putin
1075
00:37:29,860 –> 00:37:33,060
to tell him to leave a country that he had no legal
1076
00:37:33,060 –> 00:37:34,660
right to invade the third party.
1077
00:37:34,660 –> 00:37:36,820
I look at it as the third party.
1078
00:37:38,660 –> 00:37:40,660
I don’t want to be funding forever wars.
1079
00:37:40,900 –> 00:37:44,660
I’ve been through enough of them under bogus circumstances.
1080
00:37:46,900 –> 00:37:48,420
The line’s not moving.
1081
00:37:48,660 –> 00:37:50,340
It’s time for a ceasefire.
1082
00:37:50,500 –> 00:37:53,100
It’s A ceasefire and then negotiation.
1083
00:37:53,100 –> 00:37:55,220
I don’t know about aligning with anybody.
1084
00:37:55,780 –> 00:37:58,500
A ceasefire and then negotiation.
1085
00:37:58,580 –> 00:37:59,460
Having said that,
1086
00:38:00,100 –> 00:38:02,020
you’re an independent reporter in
1087
00:38:02,980 –> 00:38:03,780

1089
00:38:06,020 –> 00:38:06,820

00:38:26,820 –> 00:38:27,780
And that would be,
1102
00:38:27,780 –> 00:38:28,820
I would be internally grateful.
1103
00:38:28,820 –> 00:38:32,380
I’m trying to raise $100,000 for from some new projects.
1104
00:38:32,580 –> 00:38:33,420
for black diplomats,
1105
00:38:33,420 –> 00:38:37,300
in which I focus on African refugees who fled Ukraine
1106
00:38:37,300 –> 00:38:40,900
back in 2022 and do more of that work in Europe and
1107
00:38:40,900 –> 00:38:43,620
really bring stories about how black people,
1108
00:38:43,620 –> 00:38:46,020
particularly the marginalized,
1109
00:38:46,020 –> 00:38:48,700
are experiencing life in Europe and as the far right
1110
00:38:48,700 –> 00:38:50,940
continues to rise across the continent.
1111
00:38:52,100 –> 00:38:53,780
Listen, thank you for the brave work,
1112
00:38:53,780 –> 00:38:55,380
man, and I’ll be in touch.
1113
00:38:55,980 –> 00:38:56,460
Hey, absolutely,
1114
00:38:57,460 –> 00:38:57,940
Thanks a lot,
1115
00:38:58,260 –> 00:38:58,900
Good to talk to you.
1116
00:38:59,140 –> 00:38:59,580
Bye, Trick,
1117
00:39:00,500 –> 00:39:00,900
Bye, Kerry.
1118
00:39:01,060 –> 00:39:02,740
I’ll tell Trick Trick to see you say goodbye.
1119
00:39:11,100 –> 00:39:11,660
I mean, you know,
1120
00:39:11,700 –> 00:39:12,420
come on now.
1121
00:39:12,700 –> 00:39:13,780
Like, I’m A queer,
1122
00:39:13,820 –> 00:39:14,740
I’m A queer dude.
1123
00:39:14,740 –> 00:39:15,820
Like, what the hell?
1124
00:39:15,820 –> 00:39:18,340
I’m not supposed to sit there and take that shit.
1125
00:39:18,820 –> 00:39:19,180
Like, you know,
1126
00:39:19,380 –> 00:39:21,060
you quitted yourself well.
1127
00:39:22,420 –> 00:39:23,220
I mean, you know,
1128
00:39:23,220 –> 00:39:23,860
what if, I mean,
1129
00:39:23,860 –> 00:39:24,580
come on, Ken,
1130
00:39:24,580 –> 00:39:25,300
let somebody come up,
1131
00:39:25,380 –> 00:39:27,900
somebody come up here and say,,,,,,,
1132
00:39:28,020 –> 00:39:28,740
like, what,
1133
00:39:28,780 –> 00:39:29,340
I mean, like,
1134
00:39:29,340 –> 00:39:30,580
I wouldn’t expect you to take that.
1135
00:39:30,580 –> 00:39:33,500
So why would I as some person who’s constantly prosecuted?
1136
00:39:33,500 –> 00:39:34,820
Like, why would I accept that?
1137
00:39:35,860 –> 00:39:36,340
That’s all.
1138
00:39:36,660 –> 00:39:38,660
I mean, I just handled myself and I just handled it
1139
00:39:38,660 –> 00:39:39,180
accordingly.
1140
00:39:39,180 –> 00:39:42,060
And the fact that he was so fragile and thought that
1141
00:39:42,060 –> 00:39:43,140
I don’t know who he thought.
1142
00:39:43,340 –> 00:39:46,500
And the thing I was genuinely joking with the dude.
1143
00:39:47,100 –> 00:39:49,180
Like, I didn’t mean any harm and I thought it was cool.
1144
00:39:49,620 –> 00:39:50,780
And so I thought it was fine.
1145
00:39:50,780 –> 00:39:52,940
And then we just had a good old regular conversation.
1146
00:39:52,940 –> 00:39:54,900
Then he started spouting that shit.
1147
00:39:55,300 –> 00:39:55,860
And I’m like,
1148
00:39:56,100 –> 00:39:58,820
okay, I was going to stay there and walk off and then
1149
00:39:58,820 –> 00:39:59,380
he’s gone.
1150
00:39:59,420 –> 00:40:01,140
So I hope that his feelings are,
1151
00:40:01,140 –> 00:40:02,020
I hope, I hope he,
1152
00:40:02,340 –> 00:40:02,580
you know,
1153
00:40:02,660 –> 00:40:03,260
he heals.
1154
00:40:03,260 –> 00:40:06,220
I’ll check with him.
1155
00:40:06,260 –> 00:40:06,740
All right.
1156
00:40:07,340 –> 00:40:08,100
Yeah, please do.
1157
00:40:08,260 –> 00:40:08,540
All right.
1158
00:40:08,580 –> 00:40:09,140
My condosions.
1159
00:40:09,220 –> 00:40:09,500
Thank you.
1160
00:40:12,580 –> 00:40:13,420
Charlie, I’m here.
1161
00:40:16,220 –> 00:40:18,740
Listen, I enjoyed the show today.
1162
00:40:21,660 –> 00:40:22,660
Yeah, it was unexpected.
1163
00:40:22,660 –> 00:40:24,060
You know, before the show,
1164
00:40:24,060 –> 00:40:25,180
I was scribbling some notes.
1165
00:40:25,180 –> 00:40:26,500
That wasn’t on the bingo card.
1166
00:40:27,340 –> 00:40:28,020
But that’s okay,
1167
00:40:28,180 –> 00:40:30,820
You got to respect when people are protective of their
1168
00:40:30,820 –> 00:40:32,180
respective territories,
1169
00:40:32,340 –> 00:40:33,380
trick included.
1170
00:40:33,380 –> 00:40:34,180
So I mean,
1171
00:40:34,180 –> 00:40:34,980
it’s all good.
1172
00:40:35,060 –> 00:40:37,620
And I appreciate the space that you provided for them
1173
00:40:37,620 –> 00:40:38,500
to be themselves.
1174
00:40:38,740 –> 00:40:39,500
Yeah, shit.
1175
00:40:39,500 –> 00:40:41,060
I mean, I don’t censor,
1176
00:40:41,060 –> 00:40:41,300
you know.
1177
00:40:41,540 –> 00:40:42,420
Oh, look who’s back.
1178
00:40:42,740 –> 00:40:43,300
Trick, trick.
1179
00:40:45,260 –> 00:40:45,540
Like I said,
1180
00:40:45,540 –> 00:40:46,460
no disrespect.
1181
00:40:47,500 –> 00:40:48,300
God bless him.
1182
00:40:48,300 –> 00:40:48,900
God bless him.
1183
00:40:49,220 –> 00:40:49,940
It’s all good.
1184
00:40:50,180 –> 00:40:50,660
All right,
1185
00:40:50,660 –> 00:40:53,540
look, I wanted to say something for you.
1186
00:40:53,540 –> 00:40:54,100
There she go.
1187
00:40:54,340 –> 00:40:55,780
I was wondering where she was at.
1188
00:40:55,780 –> 00:40:57,540
See, if she would have been here,
1189
00:40:57,580 –> 00:41:00,260
she would have gave me this look and I would have
1190
00:41:00,260 –> 00:41:00,460
gone out.
1191
00:41:00,620 –> 00:41:01,140
No, I wouldn’t.
1192
00:41:01,540 –> 00:41:02,460
Listen, look,
1193
00:41:02,460 –> 00:41:05,260
Trey, I just told Charlie that you have a right to
1194
00:41:05,300 –> 00:41:06,980
respect your space as you did.
1195
00:41:07,300 –> 00:41:08,260
I mean, no,
1196
00:41:08,300 –> 00:41:09,260
no love lost.
1197
00:41:09,460 –> 00:41:12,260
You know, you already know.
1198
00:41:16,100 –> 00:41:17,460
All right.
1199
00:41:17,620 –> 00:41:18,340
I just want to,
1200
00:41:20,340 –> 00:41:20,900
the money,
1201
00:41:22,900 –> 00:41:23,980
Please, folks,
1202
00:41:23,980 –> 00:41:26,340
let me just explain something to you.
1203
00:41:27,460 –> 00:41:31,220
Tariffs aren’t just about prices going up of goods.
1204
00:41:31,940 –> 00:41:34,580
There’s also the price of your wage,
1205
00:41:36,540 –> 00:41:39,780
what you can purchase with your wage when we’re getting
1206
00:41:39,780 –> 00:41:40,500
dumped on,
1207
00:41:40,660 –> 00:41:42,740
when products are coming in here and they’re being
1208
00:41:42,740 –> 00:41:44,260
subsidized by the government,
1209
00:41:44,460 –> 00:41:48,980
when bullshit is being done at the margins and we’re
1210
00:41:48,980 –> 00:41:51,820
being flooded with pulp and we’re being flooded with
1211
00:41:52,020 –> 00:41:52,660
maple syrup,
1212
00:41:52,660 –> 00:41:54,220
we’re being flooded with automobiles.
1213
00:41:54,420 –> 00:41:57,620
This hurts your wage.
1214
00:41:57,700 –> 00:42:01,700
The UAW came out and they support the tariffs because
1215
00:42:01,700 –> 00:42:04,100
they understand the wage part.
1216
00:42:04,580 –> 00:42:06,020
So when I’m hearing
1217
00:42:08,020 –> 00:42:09,500
You said the price would go down on day one.
1218
00:42:09,500 –> 00:42:10,820
Prices only gone up.
1219
00:42:10,860 –> 00:42:12,980
I’m like, for four years.
1220
00:42:14,260 –> 00:42:15,540
He’s a former Democrat here.
1221
00:42:15,700 –> 00:42:16,820
The gas looking good though.
1222
00:42:17,300 –> 00:42:18,100
She looking real good.
1223
00:42:18,100 –> 00:42:19,180
The gas looking good,
1224
00:42:20,500 –> 00:42:21,260
The gas prices.
1225
00:42:22,020 –> 00:42:23,460
The gas prices looking good.
1226
00:42:24,340 –> 00:42:25,140
They getting there.
1227
00:42:25,860 –> 00:42:27,340
It’s 265 in the hood.
1228
00:42:27,940 –> 00:42:29,140
I’ve seen 255.
1229
00:42:30,980 –> 00:42:33,460
No, ma’am.
1230
00:42:33,700 –> 00:42:35,140
Well, in my truck I do,
1231
00:42:35,140 –> 00:42:36,700
but in that thing out there,
1232
00:42:36,700 –> 00:42:37,380
I gotta, yeah,
1233
00:42:37,380 –> 00:42:38,100
I gotta steal $4.00.
1234
00:42:38,180 –> 00:42:40,980
I’ll make a call.
1235
00:42:42,020 –> 00:42:42,740
So, to me,
1236
00:42:42,740 –> 00:42:44,580
it’s it’s it’s stupid,
1237
00:42:45,540 –> 00:42:48,020
Like, we need jobs back here.
1238
00:42:48,980 –> 00:42:53,820
And shit being cheap at Target ain’t really reordering
1239
00:42:53,940 –> 00:42:55,620
the country the way we need it to be.
1240
00:42:55,780 –> 00:42:57,780
So they’re going to be some short-term pain.
1241
00:42:57,940 –> 00:42:58,580
But this is,
1242
00:42:58,580 –> 00:42:59,620
do we have that clip?
1243
00:43:00,020 –> 00:43:03,220
Okay, so the Democrats are like,
1244
00:43:03,460 –> 00:43:04,620
we got to talk to people.
1245
00:43:04,620 –> 00:43:04,940
We got to,
1246
00:43:04,980 –> 00:43:05,580
no, no, no,
1247
00:43:06,100 –> 00:43:06,740
You know what you need?
1248
00:43:06,980 –> 00:43:09,860
You need regular people in the party.
1249
00:43:10,620 –> 00:43:11,100
You know what I mean?
1250
00:43:11,100 –> 00:43:14,660
If some fancy pants fucking Ivy League lecturing us,
1251
00:43:14,820 –> 00:43:18,660
we need people that actually live a real life to be
1252
00:43:18,660 –> 00:43:20,820
in the party to represent us.
1253
00:43:21,780 –> 00:43:23,700
Because NAFTA didn’t work around here.
1254
00:43:23,860 –> 00:43:24,180
That’s right.
1255
00:43:24,340 –> 00:43:25,700
It didn’t fucking work at all.
1256
00:43:25,780 –> 00:43:26,740
We told you that.
1257
00:43:26,820 –> 00:43:28,260
We told you for years.
1258
00:43:28,380 –> 00:43:29,700
And now we got smart ass.
1259
00:43:29,940 –> 00:43:33,260
I got Rashida Tlaib at the State of the Union last
1260
00:43:33,260 –> 00:43:35,620
night, holding up a sign on one of those paddles,
1261
00:43:37,100 –> 00:43:38,420
Trump to pay your taxes.
1262
00:43:38,580 –> 00:43:41,900
Rashida, I caught you three times cheating on your
1263
00:43:41,900 –> 00:43:42,980
property taxes.
1264
00:43:43,140 –> 00:43:47,060
You owe the city of Detroit a couple of grand because
1265
00:43:47,060 –> 00:43:48,740
you dead homestead credits.
1266
00:43:48,900 –> 00:43:50,340
You weren’t living there.
1267
00:43:50,340 –> 00:43:51,460
You were renting it.
1268
00:43:51,700 –> 00:43:53,460
You owe the city.
1269
00:43:54,500 –> 00:43:55,780
Stop with the bullshit.
1270
00:43:56,100 –> 00:43:59,260
You have one of the poorest districts in America and
1271
00:43:59,260 –> 00:44:00,180
I’m getting nonsense.
1272
00:44:00,740 –> 00:44:02,580
So we got messaging.
1273
00:44:02,740 –> 00:44:04,900
This is what we got from the Democrats.
1274
00:44:04,900 –> 00:44:05,460
You play that,
1275
00:44:06,260 –> 00:44:09,140
I will immediately bring prices down starting on day
1276
00:44:10,500 –> 00:44:21,940
That’s what you just said.
1277
00:44:24,420 –> 00:44:27,060
Schumer, Pocahontas,
1278
00:44:27,460 –> 00:44:28,740
Cory Booker,
1279
00:44:29,380 –> 00:44:31,300
like the talking points.
1280
00:44:31,300 –> 00:44:34,220
You know what that reminds me of that Nexstar deal
1281
00:44:34,220 –> 00:44:36,660
a couple years ago when all the anchors had to say
1282
00:44:36,900 –> 00:44:38,420
it’s a threat to democracy.
1283
00:44:39,140 –> 00:44:40,260
This is just group,
1284
00:44:40,260 –> 00:44:42,180
this is nonsense.
1285
00:44:42,420 –> 00:44:45,380
This is the group for four years that told me prices
1286
00:44:45,380 –> 00:44:45,860
weren’t going up,
1287
00:44:45,860 –> 00:44:47,700
that there was no inflation,
1288
00:44:47,860 –> 00:44:49,260
that jobs were smoking,
1289
00:44:49,540 –> 00:44:51,700
and the economy’s better than it’s ever been.
1290
00:44:52,020 –> 00:44:52,740
It was a lie.
1291
00:44:54,180 –> 00:44:55,060
It’s gotten him through,
1292
00:44:55,060 –> 00:44:56,500
Charlie, for so long.
1293
00:44:56,500 –> 00:44:58,140
I mean, the whole performative thing,
1294
00:44:58,140 –> 00:45:00,020
and we’ve talked about this over the years.
1295
00:45:00,340 –> 00:45:01,220
And so now,
1296
00:45:01,380 –> 00:45:01,780
you know,
1297
00:45:01,780 –> 00:45:02,380
we said this,
1298
00:45:02,380 –> 00:45:04,100
whether people liked Trump or not,
1299
00:45:04,340 –> 00:45:05,780
whether they like what he’s doing,
1300
00:45:05,780 –> 00:45:08,580
he’s doing something and people are falling in line
1301
00:45:08,580 –> 00:45:08,980
with that.
1302
00:45:09,220 –> 00:45:11,100
And the Democrats appear to be lost.
1303
00:45:11,140 –> 00:45:11,700
So it’s like,
1304
00:45:11,700 –> 00:45:15,020
let’s continue to do the performative measures to
1305
00:45:15,020 –> 00:45:15,980
try to, I mean,
1306
00:45:16,100 –> 00:45:17,540
it kind of reminded me of a,
1307
00:45:18,820 –> 00:45:19,140
you know,
1308
00:45:19,300 –> 00:45:22,420
what is the class president elections last night.
1309
00:45:22,500 –> 00:45:23,860
It was just very elementary.
1310
00:45:24,180 –> 00:45:25,260
It was very elementary.
1311
00:45:25,700 –> 00:45:26,780
We just want answers.
1312
00:45:26,780 –> 00:45:27,460
I mean, and again,
1313
00:45:28,060 –> 00:45:28,420
I don’t know,
1314
00:45:28,420 –> 00:45:30,940
Trick, we grew up here,
1315
00:45:30,940 –> 00:45:35,380
a man, and there’s no way to say it except even if
1316
00:45:35,380 –> 00:45:36,980
you were never registered as a Democrat,
1317
00:45:36,980 –> 00:45:38,020
that’s where your heart was.
1318
00:45:38,500 –> 00:45:40,980
Right, because you believed what you were basically
1319
00:45:40,980 –> 00:45:41,700
raised on.
1320
00:45:41,700 –> 00:45:42,140
It’s like,
1321
00:45:42,180 –> 00:45:42,580
you know,
1322
00:45:43,140 –> 00:45:45,060
go to work to get paid a fair wage,
1323
00:45:46,020 –> 00:45:47,540
You go to church on Sunday,
1324
00:45:47,540 –> 00:45:49,140
you pay your tabs and offering,
1325
00:45:49,140 –> 00:45:49,620
and you…
1326
00:45:50,060 –> 00:45:51,780
Getting ready to go back to work Monday.
1327
00:45:52,260 –> 00:45:54,500
You sit on Saturday and you’re in the pulpit,
1328
00:45:54,540 –> 00:45:56,500
or you’re in the pew on Sunday.
1329
00:45:56,580 –> 00:45:57,340
That’s what we did.
1330
00:45:57,380 –> 00:45:57,740
That, like,
1331
00:45:57,740 –> 00:45:58,500
it was a norm,
1332
00:45:58,540 –> 00:45:58,980
I mean, you know,
1333
00:45:58,980 –> 00:46:00,100
this is how you raised,
1334
00:46:00,100 –> 00:46:01,140
this is what you taught.
1335
00:46:01,140 –> 00:46:03,140
You know, at one point,
1336
00:46:03,140 –> 00:46:04,740
I used to believe the news.
1337
00:46:06,180 –> 00:46:07,220
That says a lot.
1338
00:46:07,220 –> 00:46:08,580
Like, I used to believe the news.
1339
00:46:08,580 –> 00:46:09,820
I used to watch the news and be like,
1340
00:46:09,860 –> 00:46:13,260
man, until I talked to somebody at the news and they
1341
00:46:13,260 –> 00:46:13,620
say, man,
1342
00:46:13,620 –> 00:46:15,140
everything we say is bullshit.
1343
00:46:17,300 –> 00:46:19,300
But that’s why we struck out here.
1344
00:46:19,380 –> 00:46:21,380
You know, I’m trying,
1345
00:46:21,380 –> 00:46:23,380
we’re not just commenting on stuff.
1346
00:46:23,700 –> 00:46:25,540
We’re trying to come up with the news.
1347
00:46:25,580 –> 00:46:30,060
I’m not buying it from this robber class where children
1348
00:46:30,060 –> 00:46:33,060
are dying in a van and you’re trying to tell me you’ve
1349
00:46:33,060 –> 00:46:36,740
done everything you could and that it’s nonsense that
1350
00:46:36,740 –> 00:46:41,140
these squalid places that you’re warehousing people
1351
00:46:41,380 –> 00:46:42,500
are on the up and up,
1352
00:46:42,580 –> 00:46:43,540
they’re not.
1353
00:46:44,300 –> 00:46:44,660
They’re not.
1354
00:46:44,660 –> 00:46:48,100
I want some justice and I want some working people
1355
00:46:48,260 –> 00:46:49,860
back in that party.
1356
00:46:54,340 –> 00:46:55,060
I did get a call.
1357
00:46:55,140 –> 00:46:57,460
I did get a call from someone who was on one of the
1358
00:46:57,660 –> 00:47:00,020
homeless boards and they said that as a result of
1359
00:47:00,020 –> 00:47:00,660
your story,
1360
00:47:00,900 –> 00:47:02,980
they were resigning because there were some things
1361
00:47:02,980 –> 00:47:04,940
that you brought up that even they weren’t aware of.
1362
00:47:07,700 –> 00:47:08,860
Just, Charlie,
1363
00:47:08,860 –> 00:47:09,620
you know the story of,
1364
00:47:09,660 –> 00:47:11,940
I mean, in terms of the misappropriation of funding,
1365
00:47:11,940 –> 00:47:13,780
the guy that was a pedophile,
1366
00:47:13,780 –> 00:47:16,180
they weren’t aware that he had those issues.
1367
00:47:17,060 –> 00:47:20,260
The squalor that was in place.
1368
00:47:20,580 –> 00:47:23,220
So those were things that even as a board member,
1369
00:47:23,540 –> 00:47:25,540
those were a few of the things that they weren’t aware
1370
00:47:25,660 –> 00:47:26,740
And they said as a result,
1371
00:47:26,740 –> 00:47:28,940
after seeing the show last week,
1372
00:47:29,140 –> 00:47:30,860
they said they were resigning from the board.
1373
00:47:31,300 –> 00:47:33,380
It’s all just a showpiece because.
1374
00:47:34,620 –> 00:47:38,580
The real people handling the real money,
1375
00:47:38,580 –> 00:47:39,620
you don’t see them.
1376
00:47:39,620 –> 00:47:42,940
They convene these boards and people aren’t very smart
1377
00:47:43,140 –> 00:47:46,660
and they have slices of pizza and we all go away and
1378
00:47:46,660 –> 00:47:48,140
like, where’s the hundreds of millions?
1379
00:47:48,140 –> 00:47:49,260
It’s the same with LA.
1380
00:47:49,260 –> 00:47:50,820
It’s the same in San Francisco.
1381
00:47:50,900 –> 00:47:52,700
It’s the same all over the fucking world.
1382
00:47:52,780 –> 00:47:54,020
Where’s the money?
1383
00:47:55,180 –> 00:47:55,700
That trick?
1384
00:47:56,620 –> 00:47:57,620
How many films you can make?
1385
00:47:59,140 –> 00:47:59,780
Where’s the money?
1386
00:48:00,020 –> 00:48:00,820
Where’s the money?
1387
00:48:00,860 –> 00:48:01,540
Follow the money,
1388
00:48:01,540 –> 00:48:02,540
you find out where the money is.
1389
00:48:02,660 –> 00:48:03,540
Fix the shit.
1390
00:48:04,340 –> 00:48:08,180
Oh, and Terrell says goodbye.
1391
00:48:10,100 –> 00:48:11,180
Nice to meet you and God bless.
1392
00:48:11,180 –> 00:48:12,660
See that little brotherhood at the end there.
1393
00:48:13,300 –> 00:48:14,260
Mikey Eckstein,
1394
00:48:14,660 –> 00:48:15,860
look forward to watching your movie,
1395
00:48:16,180 –> 00:48:17,300
Mikey in the middle over here,
1396
00:48:20,020 –> 00:48:21,140
Karen, feel better.
1397
00:48:21,940 –> 00:48:23,100
And we’ll see you all next week.
1398
00:48:23,100 –> 00:48:23,540
Love you, Karen.
1399
00:48:24,300 –> 00:48:24,660
Love you guys.
