1
00:00:00,160 –> 00:00:04,560
Well, it’s deer season and we went to disabled deer
2
00:00:05,360 –> 00:00:06,000
What’s it like?
3
00:00:08,080 –> 00:00:08,960
Every time I wake up,
4
00:00:08,960 –> 00:00:11,040
I have spasticity like crazy.
5
00:00:11,120 –> 00:00:11,440
I have to,
6
00:00:11,440 –> 00:00:14,120
like, stretch them back and forth for a long time.
7
00:00:15,840 –> 00:00:16,720
Just a little push.
8
00:00:17,120 –> 00:00:20,240
So I got in a motorcycle accident in Grand Rapids and
9
00:00:20,240 –> 00:00:21,280
hit a tree head on.
10
00:00:22,080 –> 00:00:25,360
Everything from here down is.
11
00:00:26,880 –> 00:00:27,600
Paralyzed.
12
00:00:27,840 –> 00:00:29,320
I got really depressed when I got home,
13
00:00:29,520 –> 00:00:30,800
so I had a buddy Dave.
14
00:00:30,800 –> 00:00:32,840
He ended up taking me out hunting.
15
00:00:33,280 –> 00:00:34,000
It was awesome.
16
00:00:34,240 –> 00:00:36,240
I forgot about all my pain.
17
00:00:36,800 –> 00:00:38,880
I forgot about all the bullshit,
18
00:00:38,880 –> 00:00:40,000
everything I was going through.
19
00:00:40,160 –> 00:00:44,400
It made me realize that I have life to live still.
20
00:00:44,720 –> 00:00:45,760
I still have passion.
21
00:00:45,760 –> 00:00:46,800
I still have enjoyment.
22
00:00:46,800 –> 00:00:51,040
I still can find the things that I love in life.
23
00:00:51,720 –> 00:00:53,760
I came up with the idea that how could I get?
24
00:00:54,480 –> 00:00:56,320
People to experience something like I did.
25
00:00:56,320 –> 00:00:57,760
How can I get them out in the woods?
26
00:00:58,080 –> 00:00:58,560
It’s free.
27
00:00:58,560 –> 00:01:00,800
I take people for free because that’s the whole point
28
00:01:00,800 –> 00:01:04,320
is people that need this,
29
00:01:04,880 –> 00:01:06,880
they don’t have the funds necessarily.
30
00:01:07,120 –> 00:01:11,840
Each guest that comes has their own little suite with
31
00:01:12,160 –> 00:01:14,160
sinks and showers.
32
00:01:14,160 –> 00:01:15,760
You can all roll in really easy.
33
00:01:16,960 –> 00:01:19,720
This might be the most beautiful hunting experience,
34
00:01:19,720 –> 00:01:23,440
I think just this I’ve ever had.
35
00:01:24,400 –> 00:01:25,520
I like to go and have a beer,
36
00:01:25,640 –> 00:01:26,480
smoke a cigar.
37
00:01:27,600 –> 00:01:28,320
Talk shit.
38
00:01:29,000 –> 00:01:30,480
Yeah, it’s always fun talking shit.
39
00:01:35,040 –> 00:01:36,120
Greg got hit by a semi.
40
00:01:36,120 –> 00:01:39,640
Well, it was more like I hit the semi.
41
00:01:40,600 –> 00:01:44,400
Turned right in front of it.
42
00:01:44,400 –> 00:01:45,280
Do you remember that?
43
00:01:45,840 –> 00:01:46,240
Yes, I do.
44
00:01:46,240 –> 00:01:48,080
Yep, all of it.
45
00:01:48,080 –> 00:01:49,360
I was talking to my wife on the phone.
46
00:01:49,840 –> 00:01:51,120
You’re lucky not only to be hunting,
47
00:01:51,120 –> 00:01:51,840
but to be here,
48
00:01:51,840 –> 00:01:52,320
actually.
49
00:01:53,000 –> 00:01:55,600
I had two different doctors at different hospitals
50
00:01:56,080 –> 00:01:59,440
ask her if she wanted to just let me go,
51
00:02:00,960 –> 00:02:02,600
hold the proverbial plug.
52
00:02:04,080 –> 00:02:05,200
So I was bad.
53
00:02:06,240 –> 00:02:06,760
How’s your life?
54
00:02:06,760 –> 00:02:07,520
Has it been hard?
55
00:02:09,520 –> 00:02:11,520
You know, it it is.
56
00:02:12,960 –> 00:02:14,960
I get three to four hours sleep a night.
57
00:02:15,680 –> 00:02:16,560
That’s just the way it goes.
58
00:02:16,640 –> 00:02:20,840
The view I see was what a person would see looking
59
00:02:20,840 –> 00:02:21,600
through the scope.
60
00:02:23,080 –> 00:02:24,440
Right there is what I wanted.
61
00:02:24,720 –> 00:02:26,320
I don’t really have any time to myself.
62
00:02:26,840 –> 00:02:29,080
I don’t have any time to do any of my projects.
63
00:02:29,080 –> 00:02:31,120
And I can’t use my fingers,
64
00:02:31,680 –> 00:02:33,440
so I shoot like this.
65
00:02:34,000 –> 00:02:35,120
You know, I’m okay with that.
66
00:02:36,200 –> 00:02:36,720
I really am.
67
00:02:39,840 –> 00:02:40,960
Remember to appreciate her.
68
00:02:41,040 –> 00:02:46,240
She’s up in every hospital next to me and…
69
00:02:47,800 –> 00:02:48,560
On the floor sometimes.
70
00:02:48,560 –> 00:02:51,120
Scratch every itch and…
71
00:02:52,000 –> 00:02:53,280
Been through it all with me.
72
00:02:54,000 –> 00:02:55,640
They give you something back that you’re missing?
73
00:02:56,560 –> 00:02:57,720
Yeah, definitely.
74
00:02:58,880 –> 00:03:00,480
Makes me feel alive again.
75
00:03:01,120 –> 00:03:02,800
It’s not about getting the deer,
76
00:03:02,800 –> 00:03:04,080
it’s about getting out there.
77
00:03:05,680 –> 00:03:06,880
Were you a regular hunter?
78
00:03:07,200 –> 00:03:08,120
Every season,
79
00:03:08,120 –> 00:03:09,040
never missed.
80
00:03:09,280 –> 00:03:09,800
He’s legal.
81
00:03:13,360 –> 00:03:14,320
Usually where I hunt,
82
00:03:14,320 –> 00:03:15,520
there’s a lot of does.
83
00:03:16,600 –> 00:03:19,680
No one’s taking them and they’ve run the bucks away,
84
00:03:23,120 –> 00:03:25,200
Up here it’s managed a little better.
85
00:03:29,200 –> 00:03:31,040
You know where we’re at when it gets dark.
86
00:03:33,600 –> 00:03:35,200
Mark blaze a trail,
87
00:03:36,200 –> 00:03:38,240
OK, yeah, we’ll start dropping toilet paper right now.
88
00:03:39,280 –> 00:03:40,320
Let’s take a picture of that.
89
00:03:40,320 –> 00:03:42,400
That’s what we’re going to need,
90
00:03:42,400 –> 00:03:43,920
just one of them right there.
91
00:03:52,560 –> 00:03:54,240
Got it in the clearing at the end,
92
00:03:54,520 –> 00:03:55,440
and it went that way.
93
00:03:56,240 –> 00:03:57,120
It’s a lovely bug.
94
00:03:59,120 –> 00:04:00,080
You see any orange?
95
00:04:00,640 –> 00:04:01,120
I did not.
96
00:04:01,120 –> 00:04:01,920
I went up on that one.
97
00:04:02,000 –> 00:04:02,680
I didn’t either.
98
00:04:02,680 –> 00:04:03,280
across the way.
99
00:04:03,760 –> 00:04:04,640
Lost foot trip.
100
00:04:09,400 –> 00:04:10,080
I can’t believe it.
101
00:04:11,960 –> 00:04:12,480
Yeah, it drops.
102
00:04:14,560 –> 00:04:18,080
I think I just heard you gave me a follow-up shot,
103
00:04:18,080 –> 00:04:20,160
so they probably have your deer right now.
104
00:04:21,920 –> 00:04:23,040
I just saw that side.
105
00:04:23,120 –> 00:04:24,160
That’s a nice bot.
106
00:04:25,360 –> 00:04:25,920
Looks nice.
107
00:04:26,640 –> 00:04:27,360
Congrats, man.
108
00:04:28,960 –> 00:04:30,520
I let him go the first time,
109
00:04:30,520 –> 00:04:32,400
but I didn’t want my hunting to be over.
110
00:04:32,960 –> 00:04:33,680
Oh, he stings.
111
00:04:38,680 –> 00:04:40,920
Live from downtown Detroit.
112
00:04:41,280 –> 00:04:45,720
It’s the No Bullshit News Hour with my main man,
113
00:04:46,600 –> 00:04:52,160

114
00:04:52,160 –> 00:04:54,720
This is the breaking news.
115
00:04:55,200 –> 00:04:56,240
Double or bullshit.
116
00:04:56,640 –> 00:04:57,520
Double or bullshit.
117
00:04:59,440 –> 00:05:05,800
Yeah, if you’re listening and not watching and you
118
00:05:05,800 –> 00:05:07,040

119
00:05:07,760 –> 00:05:10,560

Actually lovely.
129
00:05:35,840 –> 00:05:36,320
That’s touching.
130
00:05:37,440 –> 00:05:40,720
Yeah, and it was Big Al got a buck,
131
00:05:40,720 –> 00:05:41,120
you know,
132
00:05:41,200 –> 00:05:45,760
And while they were waiting to find it,
133
00:05:45,840 –> 00:05:47,200
I wrote a story about it.
134
00:05:47,200 –> 00:05:48,440
But while they were waiting to find it,
135
00:05:48,440 –> 00:05:53,600
his his wife Rebecca came up to me and that’s that’s
136
00:05:53,600 –> 00:05:54,760
the deep part of a story,
137
00:05:55,280 –> 00:05:56,160
That’s just the tease.
138
00:05:56,160 –> 00:05:57,120
But it like I said,
139
00:05:57,120 –> 00:05:58,480
you go to my my Twitter page,
140
00:05:58,480 –> 00:05:58,800
whatever.
141
00:06:00,160 –> 00:06:01,520
And she sat next to me.
142
00:06:02,400 –> 00:06:06,560
And she said what she had done was she had it’s over.
143
00:06:08,240 –> 00:06:09,040
I can’t take it.
144
00:06:09,120 –> 00:06:10,000
Got in her car,
145
00:06:10,000 –> 00:06:11,280
was going back to Kansas,
146
00:06:11,520 –> 00:06:12,960
hit a Blizzard in Des Moines,
147
00:06:13,680 –> 00:06:18,160
got a hotel and her husband Greg was calling and calling
148
00:06:18,160 –> 00:06:21,040
and she blew him off and she called her minister and
149
00:06:21,040 –> 00:06:24,160
he said the the Lord will intervene.
150
00:06:24,160 –> 00:06:26,960
The Lord will will work what he’s supposed to work.
151
00:06:27,680 –> 00:06:30,320
And Greg called again and she picked up the phone.
152
00:06:31,080 –> 00:06:32,240
And as she’s talking to him,
153
00:06:32,480 –> 00:06:34,880
Greg drove right into a Mack truck.
154
00:06:34,880 –> 00:06:36,360
Oh my God.
155
00:06:37,200 –> 00:06:43,760
So, and they both acknowledged it brought him closer.
156
00:06:43,760 –> 00:06:44,480
So, I mean,
157
00:06:44,960 –> 00:06:46,720
I’m not going to write it what that means,
158
00:06:46,720 –> 00:06:48,880
but that has so many permutations,
159
00:06:49,240 –> 00:06:51,280
what what bringing him closer means,
160
00:06:51,840 –> 00:06:52,080
you know,
161
00:06:52,080 –> 00:06:53,760
and just to be normal out there,
162
00:06:54,280 –> 00:06:57,160
just to get some air and meet some people and like,
163
00:06:58,240 –> 00:06:58,480
you know,
164
00:06:58,480 –> 00:06:59,200
Huntington’s just,
165
00:06:59,280 –> 00:07:00,760
it’s weird because like.
166
00:07:02,560 –> 00:07:05,000
You hunt to live and you live to hunt,
167
00:07:05,120 –> 00:07:05,520
you know,
168
00:07:06,320 –> 00:07:08,160
so they they finally get out there because you you’re
169
00:07:08,160 –> 00:07:09,840
kind of a shut in.
170
00:07:09,840 –> 00:07:10,720
It’s a it’s a beautiful,
171
00:07:10,720 –> 00:07:15,880
it’s called Hunt to Heal #2.
172
00:07:15,880 –> 00:07:16,640
It’s free.
173
00:07:17,040 –> 00:07:18,160
So you have to apply,
174
00:07:18,160 –> 00:07:19,640
but it’s 100%
175
00:07:20,240 –> 00:07:22,000
handicap accessible.
176
00:07:22,240 –> 00:07:23,600
It’s beautiful lodge.
177
00:07:23,600 –> 00:07:26,160
It’s a square mile of hunting grounds,
178
00:07:28,040 –> 00:07:28,800
I’d never heard of it.
179
00:07:28,800 –> 00:07:31,080
You know, you never think that a facility like that
180
00:07:31,080 –> 00:07:31,720
would exist,
181
00:07:31,720 –> 00:07:32,640
but that’s good.
182
00:07:32,760 –> 00:07:33,520
And like, it’s like he said,
183
00:07:33,520 –> 00:07:35,760
it wasn’t about bagging the deer.
184
00:07:35,760 –> 00:07:39,680
It’s about just getting out in some degree of normalization
185
00:07:39,760 –> 00:07:40,320
in his life.
186
00:07:42,320 –> 00:07:43,680
And Al got a got a deer,
187
00:07:44,400 –> 00:07:45,200
but Al couldn’t go,
188
00:07:45,360 –> 00:07:45,560
you know,
189
00:07:45,560 –> 00:07:46,720
he didn’t get him clean.
190
00:07:46,720 –> 00:07:48,720
So, you know,
191
00:07:48,720 –> 00:07:51,280
you got to send the guy with with the four good limbs
192
00:07:51,280 –> 00:07:52,640
out into the woods and attract it.
193
00:07:53,120 –> 00:07:54,120
On his hands and knees,
194
00:07:54,280 –> 00:07:55,680
dude, I’m a Rudolph fan.
195
00:07:55,680 –> 00:07:56,240
So, you know,
196
00:07:56,960 –> 00:07:57,680
that’s cruel.
197
00:07:57,680 –> 00:07:59,120
But we’ll follow it.
198
00:07:59,680 –> 00:08:00,840
There’s too many on the road.
199
00:08:00,880 –> 00:08:01,600
They’re killing people.
200
00:08:02,080 –> 00:08:03,120
I know, but I just.
201
00:08:05,120 –> 00:08:10,640
And joining us is hotel and restaurant queen Grace
202
00:08:11,920 –> 00:08:13,440
Owner of American Coney Island.
203
00:08:14,160 –> 00:08:14,800
Thanks for having me.
204
00:08:14,800 –> 00:08:16,000
That was a great piece here.
205
00:08:16,320 –> 00:08:16,720
Thank you.
206
00:08:17,120 –> 00:08:19,560
And in Las Vegas and at the.
207
00:08:21,200 –> 00:08:22,440
Circa Resort,
208
00:08:22,840 –> 00:08:25,200
Victory Burger and Wings and Stadium Swim.
209
00:08:28,560 –> 00:08:29,320
So before we go on,
210
00:08:29,320 –> 00:08:33,680
I mean, what the fuck is going on in Russia?
211
00:08:37,680 –> 00:08:38,880
I feel like you’re looking at me.
212
00:08:39,920 –> 00:08:41,920
Well, I know Tucker Carlson’s on his way there because
213
00:08:41,920 –> 00:08:44,800
that’s a reason why we’re a day late this week.
214
00:08:44,920 –> 00:08:46,800
Yeah, he was going to be on with us,
215
00:08:47,040 –> 00:08:49,280
but apparently that’s more important to him.
216
00:08:49,840 –> 00:08:51,440
Yeah, doing the show.
217
00:08:52,160 –> 00:08:53,080
And Tucker Tucker was gonna.
218
00:08:53,200 –> 00:08:54,240
We’ll get him soon.
219
00:08:54,240 –> 00:08:56,360
But like, world events are just unfolding.
220
00:08:56,360 –> 00:08:58,800
So no, but now you you got a good fill in though.
221
00:08:58,800 –> 00:09:01,040
Oh, I’m happy with it.
222
00:09:01,280 –> 00:09:01,840
And you’re here.
223
00:09:02,480 –> 00:09:03,160
You’re not virtual.
224
00:09:04,640 –> 00:09:05,680
But so, you know,
225
00:09:06,240 –> 00:09:08,000
I don’t know what the Biden administration’s doing
226
00:09:08,560 –> 00:09:09,840
It is the Biden administration,
227
00:09:10,640 –> 00:09:14,800
In the waning days of a disastrous presidency,
228
00:09:15,280 –> 00:09:19,360
you’ve decided that you are going to guide the Ukrainians.
229
00:09:20,400 –> 00:09:24,080
Long-term missiles that we gave them into Russian territory.
230
00:09:24,240 –> 00:09:25,120
Like, what have they got left?
231
00:09:25,120 –> 00:09:26,720
60 days of this administration.
232
00:09:27,840 –> 00:09:29,200
And so in retaliation,
233
00:09:29,600 –> 00:09:33,280
the Russians are dropping ICBMS into Ukraine.
234
00:09:33,280 –> 00:09:35,040
This is a this is a fucking disaster.
235
00:09:35,120 –> 00:09:38,160
And now and now we’re going to give them landmines.
236
00:09:40,040 –> 00:09:40,640
What it what is?
237
00:09:40,640 –> 00:09:42,640
What deep stateery is this shit?
238
00:09:43,440 –> 00:09:44,000
Yeah, well,
239
00:09:44,080 –> 00:09:45,920
all I know is you have missiles flying all over the
240
00:09:45,920 –> 00:09:47,920
place over there and it’s not really a good thing.
241
00:09:49,080 –> 00:09:50,120
Just to say it easily,
242
00:09:50,120 –> 00:09:51,760
we’re in a state of denial.
243
00:09:51,760 –> 00:09:54,000
We’re in a state of denial and in a state of confusion.
244
00:09:54,240 –> 00:09:57,200
That’s that’s where we are as as a as a country and
245
00:09:57,200 –> 00:09:57,960
as a world.
246
00:09:58,440 –> 00:09:59,440
I mean we are.
247
00:10:00,000 –> 00:10:01,840
I mean that’s you’re heading towards a World War.
248
00:10:01,840 –> 00:10:03,760
Why escalate it when you’re on your way out?
249
00:10:04,000 –> 00:10:05,360
Some deep state bullshit.
250
00:10:05,760 –> 00:10:07,680
They want to destroy as much as possible on their way
251
00:10:08,560 –> 00:10:11,000
Well, you you could like Europe on fire before you
252
00:10:11,240 –> 00:10:14,600
What a bunch of just.
253
00:10:15,920 –> 00:10:19,920
Deep state war hawk amateurs like the the what happened
254
00:10:19,920 –> 00:10:20,600
to the Democrats.
255
00:10:20,600 –> 00:10:21,480
But that’s petty though.
256
00:10:21,840 –> 00:10:24,720
I mean and that and that’s where politics has has gone
257
00:10:24,760 –> 00:10:25,440
over the years.
258
00:10:25,440 –> 00:10:26,880
It’s it’s not about the people,
259
00:10:27,280 –> 00:10:27,680
you know,
260
00:10:27,680 –> 00:10:29,280
it’s all about the personality.
261
00:10:29,280 –> 00:10:30,080
It’s all about,
262
00:10:30,320 –> 00:10:30,560
you know,
263
00:10:30,560 –> 00:10:34,400
the ego and and that’s what it that’s and it’s petty.
264
00:10:35,360 –> 00:10:36,880
So Trump was the the madman.
265
00:10:37,960 –> 00:10:38,240
Yeah, right.
266
00:10:38,240 –> 00:10:39,600
This is sheer madness.
267
00:10:40,560 –> 00:10:41,760
It’s in the heart of Europe.
268
00:10:42,240 –> 00:10:44,480
It’s a serious fucking deal.
269
00:10:45,200 –> 00:10:47,360
Should, should scare everybody.
270
00:10:47,440 –> 00:10:48,840
So, you know,
271
00:10:48,840 –> 00:10:50,400
I don’t know what Tucker’s doing.
272
00:10:50,640 –> 00:10:52,080
Maybe he’s going back to see Putin.
273
00:10:52,080 –> 00:10:52,480
I don’t know.
274
00:10:53,640 –> 00:10:54,360
We can watch and see.
275
00:10:56,320 –> 00:10:57,760
So why don’t we,
276
00:10:58,240 –> 00:10:59,360
on that happy note,
277
00:10:59,360 –> 00:11:00,960
why don’t we hear from our sponsors,
278
00:11:01,680 –> 00:11:02,520
I’m Grace Carros,
279
00:11:02,520 –> 00:11:04,720
and I’m third generation of American Coney Island.
280
00:11:05,200 –> 00:11:06,880
People say Detroit’s a comeback city.
281
00:11:06,880 –> 00:11:07,680
I say, where you been?
282
00:11:07,680 –> 00:11:09,360
We’ve been here for over 100 years.
283
00:11:09,760 –> 00:11:11,760
My family’s been here on the same corner,
284
00:11:11,920 –> 00:11:13,840
serving our famous proprietary.
285
00:11:14,320 –> 00:11:15,520
American Coney Island hot dog.
286
00:11:16,240 –> 00:11:17,000
So like always,
287
00:11:17,000 –> 00:11:18,080
we’re keeping things fresh,
288
00:11:18,160 –> 00:11:19,520
updated, and new.
289
00:11:21,840 –> 00:11:23,600
We’d love to have you come downtown and visit us,
290
00:11:23,680 –> 00:11:24,400
but if you can’t,
291
00:11:24,560 –> 00:11:26,800
you can always go to americanconeyisland.com,
292
00:11:26,800 –> 00:11:27,680

293
00:11:27,680 –> 00:11:29,360
get it delivered fresh right to your door.
294
00:11:31,200 –> 00:11:31,920
Archangel,
295
00:11:31,960 –> 00:11:33,920
are you an entrepreneur looking for a safe and socially
296
00:11:33,920 –> 00:11:35,520
responsible real estate investment?
297
00:11:36,000 –> 00:11:37,160
I don’t mean to make it sound like this,
298
00:11:37,160 –> 00:11:38,160
but it’s franchising.
299
00:11:38,640 –> 00:11:40,000
You are a caregiver.
300
00:11:41,280 –> 00:11:43,920
You buy the product
301
00:11:44,120 –> 00:11:45,120
from Archangel.
302
00:11:46,240 –> 00:11:49,040
The flow, they staff it for you,
303
00:11:49,520 –> 00:11:50,800
they get the property,
304
00:11:50,800 –> 00:11:52,720
that’s what the investors come in for,
305
00:11:53,040 –> 00:11:56,080
and you like a restaurant,
306
00:11:56,240 –> 00:11:56,960
work it off,
307
00:11:56,960 –> 00:11:59,680
and eventually you become the owner.
308
00:11:59,920 –> 00:12:01,440
The investor gets paid,
309
00:12:03,600 –> 00:12:06,760
the caregivers can actually end up being their own
310
00:12:07,120 –> 00:12:11,040
bosses, people get to live in communities,
311
00:12:11,280 –> 00:12:12,240
they’re clean,
312
00:12:12,480 –> 00:12:13,520
they’re small,
313
00:12:13,920 –> 00:12:14,720
They’re tight.
314
00:12:15,040 –> 00:12:19,440
If you are interested in investing in this,
315
00:12:19,960 –> 00:12:22,960
you’ll get get a better explanation from Archangel
316
00:12:23,920 –> 00:12:26,800
989-614-0416.
317
00:12:26,800 –> 00:12:27,200
Believe me,
318
00:12:27,360 –> 00:12:28,280
this is the future.
319
00:12:28,280 –> 00:12:29,280
This is what’s happening.
320
00:12:29,440 –> 00:12:32,480
989-614-0416.
321
00:12:32,480 –> 00:12:35,240
This message of Uplift is brought to you by business
322
00:12:35,240 –> 00:12:37,600
and personal wealth advisor Luke Nowacki,
323
00:12:38,000 –> 00:12:40,840
who reminds you that what does it profit a man to
324
00:12:40,880 –> 00:12:42,000
gain the whole world?
325
00:12:42,240 –> 00:12:44,080
But never enter the Kingdom of God.
326
00:12:44,800 –> 00:12:45,760
But while you’re waiting,
327
00:12:45,760 –> 00:12:48,480
Nowaki wants you to remember that overreaction is
328
00:12:48,480 –> 00:12:50,240
not a sound financial strategy.
329
00:12:50,560 –> 00:12:56,680
So call Luke Nowaki at 248-663-4748 for sound financial
330
00:12:58,719 –> 00:12:59,639
Hey, shut the fuck up.
331
00:12:59,639 –> 00:13:00,399
We’re doing a show.
332
00:13:00,599 –> 00:13:01,159
What is this?
333
00:13:01,439 –> 00:13:01,839
What is this?
334
00:13:01,839 –> 00:13:03,039
It’s how you treat your guests,
335
00:13:03,399 –> 00:13:04,319
There’s not guests.
336
00:13:04,319 –> 00:13:05,319
These are hangers on.
337
00:13:05,799 –> 00:13:06,599
OK, still there.
338
00:13:06,639 –> 00:13:07,519
They don’t pay for the coffee.
339
00:13:07,519 –> 00:13:08,119
They don’t do anything.
340
00:13:08,519 –> 00:13:09,519
They just come for the food.
341
00:13:09,519 –> 00:13:11,519
They come for the food.
342
00:13:11,519 –> 00:13:12,759
You can’t blame them for that.
343
00:13:13,639 –> 00:13:14,359
Leave a tip.
344
00:13:14,839 –> 00:13:16,039
That shit’s about to change.
345
00:13:16,519 –> 00:13:17,239
So let’s go bang,
346
00:13:17,239 –> 00:13:19,599
bang, bang here and get out because it’s I’m going
347
00:13:19,599 –> 00:13:20,839
to take next week off,
348
00:13:21,319 –> 00:13:22,279
I just, I’m tired.
349
00:13:22,279 –> 00:13:23,639
It’s pissin.
350
00:13:25,719 –> 00:13:26,599
Oh my goodness.
351
00:13:26,919 –> 00:13:27,479
So it has.
352
00:13:27,559 –> 00:13:31,519
So, like, the only media on lesser fumes of me is the
353
00:13:31,559 –> 00:13:34,759
mainstream media covering politics in this fucking
354
00:13:35,639 –> 00:13:38,679
You see Morning Joe with the mea culpa,
355
00:13:38,679 –> 00:13:42,759
right to Joe and Mika go down to Mar-a-lago to eat
356
00:13:43,479 –> 00:13:44,439
Give me a little.
357
00:13:44,639 –> 00:13:45,319
Give me a little.
358
00:13:46,279 –> 00:13:47,239
Over the past week,
359
00:13:47,239 –> 00:13:49,479
Joe and I have heard from so many people,
360
00:13:49,639 –> 00:13:52,199
from political leaders to regular citizens,
361
00:13:52,199 –> 00:13:56,199
deeply dismayed by several of president-elect Trump’s
362
00:13:56,199 –> 00:13:57,479
cabinet selections,
363
00:13:58,199 –> 00:13:58,999
and they are scared.
364
00:13:59,719 –> 00:14:00,519
Last Thursday,
365
00:14:00,519 –> 00:14:03,479
we expressed our own concerns on this broadcast and
366
00:14:03,479 –> 00:14:06,199
even said we would appreciate the opportunity to speak
367
00:14:06,199 –> 00:14:08,039
with the president-elect himself.
368
00:14:08,959 –> 00:14:09,559
On Friday,
369
00:14:09,559 –> 00:14:13,719
we were given the opportunity to do just that.
370
00:14:14,279 –> 00:14:17,999
Joe and I went to Mar-a-Lago to meet personally with
371
00:14:18,039 –> 00:14:19,239
President-elect Trump.
372
00:14:19,719 –> 00:14:20,519
In this meeting,
373
00:14:20,519 –> 00:14:21,959
President Trump was tearful,
374
00:14:21,959 –> 00:14:22,959
he was upbeat,
375
00:14:22,959 –> 00:14:27,279
he seemed interested in finding common ground with
376
00:14:27,279 –> 00:14:29,879
Democrats on some of the most divisive issues.
377
00:14:30,279 –> 00:14:34,759
And for those asking why we would go speak to the President-elect
378
00:14:34,759 –> 00:14:36,359
during such fraught times,
379
00:14:36,359 –> 00:14:37,719
especially between us,
380
00:14:37,959 –> 00:14:40,039
I guess I would ask back,
381
00:14:40,839 –> 00:14:41,719
Why wouldn’t we?
382
00:14:46,519 –> 00:14:50,919
But did you hear that Bill O’Reilly last night on on
383
00:14:50,919 –> 00:14:54,759
Cuomo’s show talked about how NBC is pulling out of
384
00:14:54,759 –> 00:14:56,639
the MSNBC partnership.
385
00:14:56,639 –> 00:15:00,319
And so that’s going to leave them without the validation,
386
00:15:00,359 –> 00:15:01,159
the connectivity,
387
00:15:01,199 –> 00:15:03,159
the resources of NBC.
388
00:15:03,799 –> 00:15:05,799
They talked about last night was a very good show.
389
00:15:05,919 –> 00:15:07,079
I was expecting to see you on,
390
00:15:08,199 –> 00:15:09,719
But so yeah,
391
00:15:09,879 –> 00:15:12,119
as you talk about them being on fumes and trying to
392
00:15:12,119 –> 00:15:14,719
hang on, they’re all struggling for survival at this
393
00:15:15,639 –> 00:15:17,039
If she wants to ask why not,
394
00:15:17,079 –> 00:15:17,799
I’ll answer.
395
00:15:17,799 –> 00:15:20,119
It’s because for the last year you’ve told us of what
396
00:15:20,119 –> 00:15:21,479
a terrible person he was,
397
00:15:21,479 –> 00:15:22,439
how he’s a dictator,
398
00:15:22,439 –> 00:15:23,319
how he’s Hitler.
399
00:15:23,559 –> 00:15:24,679
I mean, OK,
400
00:15:24,759 –> 00:15:25,799
we knew you’re a phony,
401
00:15:25,799 –> 00:15:27,519
but now there’s evidence of how.
402
00:15:28,399 –> 00:15:32,679
It’s all fake news.
403
00:15:32,999 –> 00:15:33,799
I understand that.
404
00:15:33,799 –> 00:15:36,039
But now you have concrete evidence for sure.
405
00:15:36,119 –> 00:15:37,439
And there’s even more concrete.
406
00:15:37,439 –> 00:15:38,919
I mean, they get on there,
407
00:15:39,159 –> 00:15:39,719
all of them,
408
00:15:39,719 –> 00:15:42,639
from the news nations to the Fox to the CNN’s,
409
00:15:42,639 –> 00:15:43,239
all the shit.
410
00:15:43,719 –> 00:15:48,239
And they’re talking about fake news and media and misinformation.
411
00:15:48,359 –> 00:15:49,799
They’re talking about themselves.
412
00:15:50,079 –> 00:15:51,479
They’re on there talking about the other people.
413
00:15:51,479 –> 00:15:52,759
They’re talking about themselves.
414
00:15:53,399 –> 00:15:54,679
But it’s not news anymore.
415
00:15:55,039 –> 00:15:57,399
And we’ve talked about this locally,
416
00:15:57,399 –> 00:15:58,279
nationally.
417
00:15:58,839 –> 00:16:01,999
Everybody is now trying to be the people that they
418
00:16:01,999 –> 00:16:02,639
talk about.
419
00:16:02,919 –> 00:16:03,879
So, you know,
420
00:16:03,879 –> 00:16:05,559
they want to be the,
421
00:16:05,559 –> 00:16:06,519
the, the celebrity,
422
00:16:06,519 –> 00:16:07,239
the superstar.
423
00:16:07,239 –> 00:16:08,519
They want to be the decision maker.
424
00:16:08,519 –> 00:16:09,519
They want to be in the room.
425
00:16:09,519 –> 00:16:10,839
They want to be in the camera shot.
426
00:16:11,159 –> 00:16:11,999
They’re not in the,
427
00:16:12,519 –> 00:16:12,919
excuse me,
428
00:16:12,999 –> 00:16:13,239
the, the,
429
00:16:13,239 –> 00:16:15,959
the role of being a journalist and questioning,
430
00:16:15,959 –> 00:16:17,639
demanding accountability,
431
00:16:17,639 –> 00:16:18,599
asking questions.
432
00:16:18,919 –> 00:16:21,039
Well, in fairness to Joan Mika,
433
00:16:21,039 –> 00:16:23,159
I don’t ever think I ever consider them journalists.
434
00:16:23,679 –> 00:16:24,359
And not even then.
435
00:16:24,359 –> 00:16:25,399
And I’m speaking generally.
436
00:16:25,399 –> 00:16:26,399
I’m just saying they don’t.
437
00:16:26,999 –> 00:16:28,999
They read what’s ever thrown in front of them.
438
00:16:29,479 –> 00:16:32,079
And then who all of a sudden made the view like mainstream
439
00:16:32,359 –> 00:16:35,239
Can somebody said that’s next to go?
440
00:16:36,039 –> 00:16:36,999
Who are they?
441
00:16:37,039 –> 00:16:39,679
I was looking at some stupid clips for their fake eyelashes,
442
00:16:39,679 –> 00:16:42,119
extensions and who made Whoopi and the I don’t even
443
00:16:42,119 –> 00:16:42,919
know their freaking names.
444
00:16:42,959 –> 00:16:43,719
And who’s the old lady?
445
00:16:43,839 –> 00:16:44,519
What’s her name?
446
00:16:44,519 –> 00:16:46,119
The old lady.
447
00:16:46,719 –> 00:16:47,479
But I mean,
448
00:16:47,479 –> 00:16:48,959
I don’t care what you really think.
449
00:16:48,959 –> 00:16:50,359
And if you have your opinions,
450
00:16:50,359 –> 00:16:51,159
that’s great.
451
00:16:51,399 –> 00:16:54,519
But don’t tell me what my opinions are or cut me down
452
00:16:54,519 –> 00:16:56,119
or degrade me.
453
00:16:56,599 –> 00:16:57,639
You can have your opinions.
454
00:16:57,639 –> 00:16:58,439
You are not news.
455
00:16:58,439 –> 00:17:00,799
You’re some stupid show to fill in because whatever
456
00:17:00,799 –> 00:17:02,439
station they’re on can’t find anything better.
457
00:17:02,599 –> 00:17:03,319
They’re terrible.
458
00:17:03,319 –> 00:17:04,759
They need to go every one of them.
459
00:17:04,839 –> 00:17:07,079
Well, I heard and they had a kiss ass too the other
460
00:17:07,079 –> 00:17:08,919
day and apologize with the gates thing.
461
00:17:10,159 –> 00:17:12,519
On the view,
462
00:17:12,519 –> 00:17:12,799
you mean?
463
00:17:12,799 –> 00:17:13,559
Yeah, on the view.
464
00:17:14,119 –> 00:17:14,639
I’m sorry.
465
00:17:14,839 –> 00:17:17,159
Yeah, because the attorney was,
466
00:17:17,559 –> 00:17:18,919
yeah, alleged sexual abuse.
467
00:17:19,799 –> 00:17:21,679
DOJ looked into it and found nothing.
468
00:17:22,199 –> 00:17:23,559
She said she used a ledge,
469
00:17:23,559 –> 00:17:25,759
but she said he was charged and he never was charged.
470
00:17:26,199 –> 00:17:27,359
You know, so.
471
00:17:28,959 –> 00:17:32,639
Had swallowed A mentholated mothball too when it right
472
00:17:32,639 –> 00:17:33,399
3 minutes later.
473
00:17:33,399 –> 00:17:36,279
Like the lawyers like right now down to the producer.
474
00:17:36,439 –> 00:17:37,239
Read this.
475
00:17:38,039 –> 00:17:39,719
Oh boy, they’re all imploding inside.
476
00:17:39,799 –> 00:17:42,719
So where does this leave the American people?
477
00:17:42,719 –> 00:17:44,359
Like, where do they go?
478
00:17:45,399 –> 00:17:48,599
MSNBC’s ratings are down like 60 fucking percent.
479
00:17:49,479 –> 00:17:50,519
It’s a bloodbath.
480
00:17:50,599 –> 00:17:51,279
They’re down.
481
00:17:51,279 –> 00:17:52,719
They’re looking to lay people off.
482
00:17:52,919 –> 00:17:54,399
You know, Fox got the bump.
483
00:17:57,239 –> 00:17:57,799
It’s just,
484
00:17:57,799 –> 00:17:58,119
it’s not,
485
00:17:58,119 –> 00:17:59,319
it’s not journalism.
486
00:17:59,879 –> 00:18:00,439
You know what I mean?
487
00:18:00,759 –> 00:18:03,319
It was now you got to go down there and kiss his ass.
488
00:18:04,039 –> 00:18:04,599
But I mean,
489
00:18:04,879 –> 00:18:06,439
I’m saying Once Upon a time,
490
00:18:06,439 –> 00:18:07,599
people could turn on the news,
491
00:18:07,599 –> 00:18:08,519
they could read a paper,
492
00:18:08,519 –> 00:18:10,439
they could do things to get information to make an
493
00:18:10,439 –> 00:18:11,399
informed decision.
494
00:18:11,439 –> 00:18:12,199
But it was fake.
495
00:18:12,279 –> 00:18:12,599
I’m sorry,
496
00:18:12,719 –> 00:18:15,159
Karen, but it was fake back then too,
497
00:18:15,159 –> 00:18:16,599
because it was all corporate.
498
00:18:16,999 –> 00:18:20,039
You know, CBS was a little different than NBC and then
499
00:18:20,039 –> 00:18:23,319
Peter Jennings on the ABC and and the newspapers were
500
00:18:23,639 –> 00:18:26,879
staid Country Club editors like little difference
501
00:18:26,879 –> 00:18:28,199
between the Free Press and the news.
502
00:18:28,199 –> 00:18:33,239
But it was all the the Internet for all all the evils,
503
00:18:33,959 –> 00:18:35,319
You can’t filter the truth,
504
00:18:35,799 –> 00:18:38,439
but the newspapers in the mainstream media was never
505
00:18:38,439 –> 00:18:39,479
given it to you either.
506
00:18:39,479 –> 00:18:40,199
So now it’s.
507
00:18:40,679 –> 00:18:43,559
I wish there was a medium,
508
00:18:43,999 –> 00:18:45,759
I wish there was a difference between there cause you
509
00:18:45,759 –> 00:18:47,999
want some kind of editorial standards,
510
00:18:48,199 –> 00:18:51,039
You just don’t want some guy spouting off online.
511
00:18:51,039 –> 00:18:51,759
But at the same time,
512
00:18:51,759 –> 00:18:53,799
you don’t want so many editorial,
513
00:18:53,799 –> 00:18:54,039
you know,
514
00:18:54,039 –> 00:18:56,159
editors getting their fingers within something.
515
00:18:56,199 –> 00:18:57,879
I just, I don’t think it’s gonna happen.
516
00:18:57,999 –> 00:18:59,799
Well, hopefully it’s a new era.
517
00:18:59,799 –> 00:19:00,399
Like, you know,
518
00:19:00,399 –> 00:19:02,999
those of us that got taught the old standards,
519
00:19:03,159 –> 00:19:04,839
maybe we we can pass them on.
520
00:19:04,839 –> 00:19:07,159
You know, I think the problem with that is that it
521
00:19:07,159 –> 00:19:08,199
just doesn’t sell.
522
00:19:09,199 –> 00:19:09,719
What do you mean?
523
00:19:10,359 –> 00:19:11,199
Well, we get clicks,
524
00:19:11,199 –> 00:19:11,559
don’t we?
525
00:19:13,239 –> 00:19:15,079
Should I start shaving my nipples or something?
526
00:19:15,919 –> 00:19:17,239
Yes, piercing them,
527
00:19:17,639 –> 00:19:19,759
I think people finally woke up and they’re listening
528
00:19:19,759 –> 00:19:22,279
and they know to find you and the various other people
529
00:19:22,279 –> 00:19:25,719
who are doing actual work and not just repeating everything
530
00:19:25,719 –> 00:19:26,439
they hear,
531
00:19:26,679 –> 00:19:27,479
whether it be left,
532
00:19:27,479 –> 00:19:28,759
right, whatever.
533
00:19:28,839 –> 00:19:30,519
People finally are getting it.
534
00:19:31,239 –> 00:19:33,479
And let’s not call it a Republican victory.
535
00:19:33,519 –> 00:19:36,199
No, the Republicans got a lot to answer for and they’re
536
00:19:36,359 –> 00:19:37,319
they’re trying to.
537
00:19:38,599 –> 00:19:39,079
Like, you know,
538
00:19:39,079 –> 00:19:41,239
they’re down with populism somehow.
539
00:19:41,239 –> 00:19:44,439
No, they’re just in the weeds and they’re plotting.
540
00:19:44,599 –> 00:19:46,199
So it’s it’s it’s not a victory.
541
00:19:46,199 –> 00:19:48,519
But Mark, you pointed out something really interesting.
542
00:19:49,639 –> 00:19:51,999
Is everybody in the Trump administration’s kind of
543
00:19:51,999 –> 00:19:52,759
an oligarch?
544
00:19:53,159 –> 00:19:53,559
Well, look,
545
00:19:53,559 –> 00:19:54,519
look at all the billionaires,
546
00:19:54,799 –> 00:19:56,119
I mean, Elon’s involved.
547
00:19:56,359 –> 00:19:57,639
Trump’s a billionaire.
548
00:19:58,759 –> 00:20:00,439
The former head of Cantor Fitzgerald,
549
00:20:00,439 –> 00:20:01,879
who’s now the commerce nominee,
550
00:20:01,879 –> 00:20:03,319
is a multi-billionaire.
551
00:20:03,319 –> 00:20:05,039
Linda McMahon is a billionaire.
552
00:20:05,039 –> 00:20:06,839
I mean, it’s this class of oligarchs.
553
00:20:07,399 –> 00:20:07,959
And trust me,
554
00:20:07,959 –> 00:20:09,719
there’s oligarchs on the other side too.
555
00:20:09,719 –> 00:20:10,599
You have Soros.
556
00:20:11,399 –> 00:20:12,559
I just at some point,
557
00:20:13,199 –> 00:20:15,119
when are people gonna realize that these people don’t
558
00:20:15,119 –> 00:20:16,319
give a shit about you?
559
00:20:16,319 –> 00:20:16,999
None of them do.
560
00:20:17,679 –> 00:20:20,639
I really don’t think the policies they make are for
561
00:20:20,639 –> 00:20:21,319
a greater good.
562
00:20:21,319 –> 00:20:23,879
I think a lot of times it’s to benefit themselves.
563
00:20:24,079 –> 00:20:26,279
And when traditionally we don’t like oligarchs in this
564
00:20:27,719 –> 00:20:28,679
But we’ve always had them.
565
00:20:28,759 –> 00:20:29,679
Oh, absolutely.
566
00:20:29,719 –> 00:20:30,759
Robber Barons.
567
00:20:30,839 –> 00:20:31,479
Yeah, of course.
568
00:20:31,639 –> 00:20:33,159
So minimum.
569
00:20:34,999 –> 00:20:36,759
Regular people who have to fight the wars,
570
00:20:36,759 –> 00:20:38,199
I I don’t want to fight a war,
571
00:20:38,599 –> 00:20:40,679
And I want some stability in my border.
572
00:20:40,679 –> 00:20:43,719
I guess I’m gonna have to put up with the rich guys,
573
00:20:43,719 –> 00:20:46,079
but I don’t know.
574
00:20:47,799 –> 00:20:48,199
I don’t know.
575
00:20:48,279 –> 00:20:49,519
They they still run everything.
576
00:20:50,039 –> 00:20:52,999
Haven’t they always been the ones that run things?
577
00:20:53,039 –> 00:20:55,559
I mean, whether they have been in an official position
578
00:20:55,559 –> 00:20:56,279
or not, I mean,
579
00:20:56,279 –> 00:20:58,719
we may not think of them because they’re not in front
580
00:20:58,719 –> 00:21:01,079
of us, but in actuality they,
581
00:21:01,239 –> 00:21:01,519
you know,
582
00:21:01,519 –> 00:21:02,759
when when Jason was here.
583
00:21:03,159 –> 00:21:04,199
Last week and he said,
584
00:21:04,199 –> 00:21:04,599
you know,
585
00:21:04,879 –> 00:21:07,439
when you donate to a campaign that provides access,
586
00:21:07,439 –> 00:21:08,599
that provides influence.
587
00:21:08,839 –> 00:21:10,479
So whether they’ve been in the forefront or not,
588
00:21:10,479 –> 00:21:11,639
they’ve been doing that all along.
589
00:21:11,799 –> 00:21:15,799
Well, you’re sitting in the city of the world that
590
00:21:15,799 –> 00:21:18,519
created a golden era for working people.
591
00:21:18,839 –> 00:21:22,199
You know, we we had a nice couple of decades run there
592
00:21:22,199 –> 00:21:24,959
where you had to share the wealth and right and.
593
00:21:27,079 –> 00:21:29,319
The oligarch who goes golfing at 4:00 and then,
594
00:21:29,319 –> 00:21:29,559
you know,
595
00:21:29,559 –> 00:21:32,119
the union head’s getting something for his people
596
00:21:32,119 –> 00:21:34,679
and and we created a middle class.
597
00:21:34,679 –> 00:21:37,559
I don’t know where we’re going to be going.
598
00:21:37,559 –> 00:21:40,359
Yeah, because I mean the disparity between the rich
599
00:21:40,479 –> 00:21:42,519
and the working class now is greater than it’s ever
600
00:21:42,519 –> 00:21:43,879
been based on percentages.
601
00:21:44,279 –> 00:21:45,719
Even during the Gilded Age,
602
00:21:45,799 –> 00:21:47,039
right, with the robber barons,
603
00:21:47,399 –> 00:21:49,159
like the difference between rich and poors.
604
00:21:49,799 –> 00:21:50,919
I don’t know what we’re going to do.
605
00:21:50,919 –> 00:21:52,999
That’s a good question.
606
00:21:52,999 –> 00:21:56,119
Well, unfortunately the working people are going to
607
00:21:56,119 –> 00:21:56,599
keep working.
608
00:21:57,559 –> 00:21:59,239
I just think it’s going to get bigger and bigger.
609
00:21:59,879 –> 00:22:00,679
So, you know,
610
00:22:01,399 –> 00:22:02,119
let’s, let’s,
611
00:22:02,199 –> 00:22:02,959
let’s go statewide.
612
00:22:02,959 –> 00:22:03,759
So what are we doing?
613
00:22:03,799 –> 00:22:06,399
It’s the the last gasp of the Democrats like,
614
00:22:06,399 –> 00:22:09,399
OK, so Whitmer is a lame duck governor.
615
00:22:10,119 –> 00:22:15,759
The House was just lost to the Republicans and the
616
00:22:15,759 –> 00:22:17,479
Senate is is tied,
617
00:22:17,959 –> 00:22:19,799
So nothing’s going to get done here,
618
00:22:19,839 –> 00:22:20,399
I don’t think,
619
00:22:20,399 –> 00:22:23,319
except maybe some impeachment hearings.
620
00:22:23,879 –> 00:22:25,559
That’ll be interesting.
621
00:22:25,599 –> 00:22:27,559
Yeah, that’s that’s not going.
622
00:22:27,639 –> 00:22:30,599
But there’s two things they were doing.
623
00:22:30,919 –> 00:22:32,119
One is what?
624
00:22:33,119 –> 00:22:33,519
What do we,
625
00:22:33,519 –> 00:22:34,399
what do we call this?
626
00:22:34,399 –> 00:22:35,879
Like the homeless Bill of Rights.
627
00:22:36,239 –> 00:22:37,399
Yeah, I didn’t know about this.
628
00:22:37,399 –> 00:22:38,439
This is interesting.
629
00:22:38,679 –> 00:22:40,519
Yeah, it’s like 9 points.
630
00:22:40,519 –> 00:22:41,719
It just came out of committee.
631
00:22:43,319 –> 00:22:43,959
I just go quick.
632
00:22:43,959 –> 00:22:46,599
The right to move freely in public spaces as anybody
633
00:22:47,479 –> 00:22:49,639
The right to equal treatment by all state municipal
634
00:22:49,639 –> 00:22:51,159
agencies like anybody else.
635
00:22:52,119 –> 00:22:54,719
The right to be employed without having a house like
636
00:22:54,919 –> 00:22:55,559
everybody else.
637
00:22:55,799 –> 00:22:57,399
The right to emergency medical care.
638
00:22:57,959 –> 00:22:58,519
Medical care.
639
00:22:58,839 –> 00:23:00,199
I I didn’t know that was an issue.
640
00:23:01,079 –> 00:23:01,959
The right to vote.
641
00:23:02,279 –> 00:23:03,559
We already knew that they could do it.
642
00:23:04,679 –> 00:23:10,039
The right to protection of your medical records and
643
00:23:10,039 –> 00:23:10,919
your housing records,
644
00:23:11,719 –> 00:23:13,319
That’s right.
645
00:23:13,879 –> 00:23:16,919
The right to confidentiality of of.
646
00:23:18,199 –> 00:23:19,559
All the stuff you’re getting from the government,
647
00:23:19,559 –> 00:23:20,479
your food stamps,
648
00:23:20,479 –> 00:23:20,919
whatever.
649
00:23:20,999 –> 00:23:23,719
OK, And then the right to a reasonable expectation
650
00:23:23,719 –> 00:23:27,199
of privacy in the individual’s personal property to
651
00:23:27,199 –> 00:23:30,559
the same extent as personal property in a permanent
652
00:23:30,559 –> 00:23:31,039
residence.
653
00:23:31,039 –> 00:23:33,239
Let me let me read that again.
654
00:23:34,039 –> 00:23:37,719
The right to a reasonable expectation of privacy in
655
00:23:37,719 –> 00:23:40,359
the individual’s personal property tent.
656
00:23:41,879 –> 00:23:45,079
To the same extent as personal property of house.
657
00:23:45,559 –> 00:23:48,519
So is that considered personal property if it’s on
658
00:23:48,519 –> 00:23:49,399
public property?
659
00:23:49,399 –> 00:23:51,799
Yes, that’s that’s kind of how I hear it.
660
00:23:52,199 –> 00:23:52,679
But I’m saying,
661
00:23:52,679 –> 00:23:55,759
isn’t that kind of a like Gray area?
662
00:23:56,239 –> 00:23:58,359
I mean, because so they can come pitch a tent outside
663
00:23:58,679 –> 00:24:00,839
They’re already pitching shit outside my door.
664
00:24:00,839 –> 00:24:02,679
They’re already sleeping in front of my door.
665
00:24:02,839 –> 00:24:05,079
They’re already coming into rest my restaurant.
666
00:24:05,279 –> 00:24:06,279
And not just mine,
667
00:24:06,479 –> 00:24:09,959
a lot of people in the city and harassing customers,
668
00:24:10,039 –> 00:24:11,319
damaging things,
669
00:24:11,639 –> 00:24:12,839
demanding free food.
670
00:24:12,839 –> 00:24:14,079
If they don’t get free food,
671
00:24:14,079 –> 00:24:16,359
then they’ll break something or yell at you or pull.
672
00:24:16,599 –> 00:24:17,799
I’ve had knives pulled on me.
673
00:24:17,799 –> 00:24:20,119
I’ve had been spit at things broken.
674
00:24:20,359 –> 00:24:22,919
I mean, it is not my job in this city to feed every
675
00:24:22,919 –> 00:24:23,719
homeless person.
676
00:24:24,119 –> 00:24:25,639
Yes, I do help a lot.
677
00:24:25,679 –> 00:24:27,839
And I Monday we’re doing a thing of the Restaurant
678
00:24:27,839 –> 00:24:28,399
Association.
679
00:24:28,399 –> 00:24:29,639
We’re feeding 1000.
680
00:24:30,079 –> 00:24:32,199
Homeless people or people in need for Thanksgiving.
681
00:24:32,359 –> 00:24:33,479
But this is not my job.
682
00:24:33,479 –> 00:24:36,879
It is not my job to supply a bathroom for everybody
683
00:24:36,879 –> 00:24:38,439
who can’t find a bathroom in this city.
684
00:24:38,599 –> 00:24:40,639
Mayor, get some porta potty.
685
00:24:40,639 –> 00:24:41,919
I’m not the Porta Coney Island.
686
00:24:42,039 –> 00:24:43,479
Get some porta John’s out there.
687
00:24:43,799 –> 00:24:44,879
The parade’s coming up.
688
00:24:44,879 –> 00:24:46,359
People are going to use my bathroom,
689
00:24:46,359 –> 00:24:46,839
flood it.
690
00:24:46,839 –> 00:24:47,999
Thousands of dollars later,
691
00:24:47,999 –> 00:24:49,399
they’re throwing T-shirts down there.
692
00:24:49,719 –> 00:24:51,639
So now I got to worry about homeless.
693
00:24:52,119 –> 00:24:53,119
I’m a restaurant owner.
694
00:24:53,119 –> 00:24:54,359
I can only speak for myself,
695
00:24:54,679 –> 00:24:56,519
but we have enough to worry about.
696
00:24:56,519 –> 00:24:58,279
We want our customers to have an experience.
697
00:24:58,359 –> 00:25:01,319
I need to protect my staff and protect myself.
698
00:25:02,279 –> 00:25:05,319
And how do you know who’s homeless?
699
00:25:05,959 –> 00:25:07,039
You don’t.
700
00:25:07,079 –> 00:25:08,999
Somebody’s muttering and stuff doesn’t mean that they’re
701
00:25:08,999 –> 00:25:09,719
homeless.
702
00:25:09,719 –> 00:25:10,439
That’s a whole another.
703
00:25:10,439 –> 00:25:11,159
That’s mental health.
704
00:25:11,159 –> 00:25:12,439
That’s a whole another issue.
705
00:25:12,439 –> 00:25:14,199
That’s what they should be working on.
706
00:25:14,199 –> 00:25:16,439
We’ve got thousands of dollars for every other stupid
707
00:25:16,439 –> 00:25:18,719
bullshit that the mayor and the Governor Whitmer want
708
00:25:18,719 –> 00:25:19,479
to put together.
709
00:25:20,039 –> 00:25:22,679
No one has tackled the mental health crisis.
710
00:25:23,599 –> 00:25:24,679
And it’s disgusting.
711
00:25:24,679 –> 00:25:26,439
And this one hurts my heart.
712
00:25:26,759 –> 00:25:29,879
The mental situation in this country needs to be attacked.
713
00:25:30,679 –> 00:25:32,479
Fuck the Democrats and neither one of them.
714
00:25:32,479 –> 00:25:34,039
Let’s see if the Republicans can get something done.
715
00:25:34,159 –> 00:25:34,759
But you know what?
716
00:25:34,759 –> 00:25:36,479
I was thinking yesterday and I think,
717
00:25:36,479 –> 00:25:39,119
what do we have about 70,000 nonprofit organizations
718
00:25:39,119 –> 00:25:40,039
in the state of Michigan?
719
00:25:40,039 –> 00:25:41,559
77 as you told me.
720
00:25:41,639 –> 00:25:45,959
OK, so we got a we got a lot of nonprofit organizations,
721
00:25:45,959 –> 00:25:48,599
most of which are focused on resolving some social
722
00:25:48,599 –> 00:25:51,239
issue here in the metropolitan Detroit area.
723
00:25:51,799 –> 00:25:54,679
But everybody repeatedly follows the same.
724
00:25:55,808 –> 00:25:56,848
They do the same thing.
725
00:25:56,848 –> 00:25:59,088
The people switch out and nothing ever happens.
726
00:25:59,088 –> 00:26:01,368
Do we ever wonder why we’re always we’re feeding people
727
00:26:01,368 –> 00:26:03,168
and why they continue to be hungry?
728
00:26:03,168 –> 00:26:04,128
Do we wonder why,
729
00:26:04,448 –> 00:26:04,688
you know,
730
00:26:04,688 –> 00:26:06,288
people don’t have resources,
731
00:26:06,288 –> 00:26:07,608
why they are under-educated?
732
00:26:07,608 –> 00:26:09,568
But we’re not looking at the contributing factors.
733
00:26:09,608 –> 00:26:10,928
They’re not finding a solution.
734
00:26:12,608 –> 00:26:14,648
Here’s a meal and we’ll think about you again in six
735
00:26:14,688 –> 00:26:15,928
months when it’s another holiday.
736
00:26:16,688 –> 00:26:17,568
Nothing gets done.
737
00:26:18,208 –> 00:26:20,408
But the people in charge of those nonprofits pockets
738
00:26:20,408 –> 00:26:20,768
are full,
739
00:26:20,768 –> 00:26:21,168
aren’t they?
740
00:26:21,568 –> 00:26:22,768
That’s where it’s going.
741
00:26:23,168 –> 00:26:24,048
They’re full of shit.
742
00:26:25,008 –> 00:26:26,928
And here’s the next one going through.
743
00:26:27,008 –> 00:26:32,528
The next one going through is increasing minimum wage
744
00:26:32,608 –> 00:26:34,368
for food servers,
745
00:26:35,168 –> 00:26:35,928
So tipped employees,
746
00:26:36,368 –> 00:26:38,048
tipped tipped employees.
747
00:26:38,048 –> 00:26:41,008
So currently now about it’s about $4.00 an hour,
748
00:26:41,728 –> 00:26:46,528
And then so you let’s say you have one table and they
749
00:26:46,528 –> 00:26:47,208
spend $100,
750
00:26:47,408 –> 00:26:48,648
you got $4.00.
751
00:26:50,368 –> 00:26:53,688
If they tip you 20%,
752
00:26:54,208 –> 00:26:54,928
Well, let’s,
753
00:26:54,928 –> 00:26:55,528
let’s just,
754
00:26:55,528 –> 00:26:57,528
we have to do it that way just for general math.
755
00:26:58,688 –> 00:27:01,008
So that’s $120.00 for the consumer,
756
00:27:03,088 –> 00:27:05,808
$100 for the house and 24 for the worker.
757
00:27:06,048 –> 00:27:08,288
So now they want to bring it up to 15,
758
00:27:08,288 –> 00:27:09,488
then 18, then 20.
759
00:27:10,608 –> 00:27:14,688
So if it’s from 4:00 to 15,
760
00:27:14,688 –> 00:27:16,848
it now goes up your your bill’s not 100,
761
00:27:17,248 –> 00:27:18,528
it’s 111.
762
00:27:19,568 –> 00:27:22,728
So are you going to continue to tip 20%
763
00:27:22,728 –> 00:27:25,768
or are you going to get wise and start tipping the
764
00:27:25,768 –> 00:27:26,248
difference?
765
00:27:26,248 –> 00:27:27,568
You’re going to tip way less.
766
00:27:27,568 –> 00:27:28,408
You’re not going to tip 5%,
767
00:27:29,968 –> 00:27:32,088
And that’s why all of the restaurant employees in the
768
00:27:32,088 –> 00:27:34,688
hospitality industry are so upset about this.
769
00:27:34,768 –> 00:27:36,848
I mean, who woke up one morning and decided this is
770
00:27:36,848 –> 00:27:37,568
a good idea?
771
00:27:38,688 –> 00:27:40,128
So you go like this.
772
00:27:40,208 –> 00:27:41,568
OK, so the bills now,
773
00:27:41,568 –> 00:27:42,208
let’s say.
774
00:27:44,288 –> 00:27:44,808
Let’s take it,
775
00:27:44,808 –> 00:27:45,568
take an average,
776
00:27:45,888 –> 00:27:48,648
Like if it’s going to be 1518 or 20,
777
00:27:48,648 –> 00:27:49,008
whatever,
778
00:27:49,008 –> 00:27:49,968
we’ll call it,
779
00:27:52,688 –> 00:27:54,048
we’ll call it 18 an hour.
780
00:27:55,008 –> 00:28:01,248
So that bill is now going to go up to what,
781
00:28:03,248 –> 00:28:04,048
114, right,
782
00:28:06,288 –> 00:28:07,008
So for you,
783
00:28:07,008 –> 00:28:07,968
the consumer.
784
00:28:08,528 –> 00:28:09,568
To remain at 120,
785
00:28:09,888 –> 00:28:11,288
you would only tip 5%,
786
00:28:14,208 –> 00:28:16,528
And people are looking for any excuse to tip less because
787
00:28:16,528 –> 00:28:17,328
people hate tipping.
788
00:28:18,048 –> 00:28:19,488
I’m just saying as a consumer,
789
00:28:20,768 –> 00:28:21,688
you’d be surprised.
790
00:28:22,048 –> 00:28:22,968
You’d be surprised.
791
00:28:23,368 –> 00:28:26,448
What I see people tip tip really well,
792
00:28:26,688 –> 00:28:28,608
but they’re also not going to be taken advantage of
793
00:28:28,728 –> 00:28:32,088
when they see that someone’s getting paid 20 and $22.00
794
00:28:33,168 –> 00:28:35,968
And I had to go up on my prices to be able to afford.
795
00:28:36,288 –> 00:28:37,888
I mean, I’m not doing this for free,
796
00:28:37,968 –> 00:28:40,448
but my staff also needs to be taken care of.
797
00:28:40,528 –> 00:28:41,688
And would do the simple math.
798
00:28:41,728 –> 00:28:45,128
OK, so it’s 18 and you’re tipping 5%,
799
00:28:45,848 –> 00:28:46,688
Which is five.
800
00:28:47,008 –> 00:28:49,408
It’s 23, not 24.
801
00:28:49,648 –> 00:28:51,088
So they start taking a cut,
802
00:28:52,288 –> 00:28:53,568
The server’s gonna lose here.
803
00:28:53,888 –> 00:28:54,688
So what would be?
804
00:28:54,768 –> 00:28:55,888
Is it ideal,
805
00:28:55,888 –> 00:28:58,928
Grace, from your perspective and knowing your staff’s
806
00:28:58,928 –> 00:28:59,648
perspective?
807
00:29:03,008 –> 00:29:04,888
They love it because they’re getting 20,
808
00:29:05,328 –> 00:29:08,248
they’re they end up making like 28 to $32 an hour.
809
00:29:08,288 –> 00:29:08,928
So people are.
810
00:29:08,928 –> 00:29:11,088
Do you think people are more conscientious about it
811
00:29:11,088 –> 00:29:13,488
because they know they make a lower minimum range?
812
00:29:13,488 –> 00:29:13,968
So they know.
813
00:29:14,128 –> 00:29:14,688
So a higher,
814
00:29:14,928 –> 00:29:16,088
OK, all right.
815
00:29:16,128 –> 00:29:21,488
Yeah, every restaurant works in slim margins.
816
00:29:22,368 –> 00:29:25,488
No, nobody wants to raise their prices.
817
00:29:25,808 –> 00:29:27,648
No, we don’t just do it cause we want to screw the
818
00:29:27,648 –> 00:29:29,648
customer.
819
00:29:31,808 –> 00:29:32,848
I won’t have to fire him.
820
00:29:32,848 –> 00:29:34,368
They’re going to leave on their own because they’re
821
00:29:34,368 –> 00:29:35,328
not going to make enough tips.
822
00:29:35,328 –> 00:29:35,808
It won’t be.
823
00:29:36,048 –> 00:29:37,008
I won’t even have that option.
824
00:29:37,008 –> 00:29:38,848
When you ask who comes up with something like this,
825
00:29:39,008 –> 00:29:40,448
it’s a politician because,
826
00:29:40,448 –> 00:29:43,008
hey, what worker doesn’t want to make make more?
827
00:29:43,008 –> 00:29:45,408
But I think a lot of times workers don’t realize that,
828
00:29:45,648 –> 00:29:47,088
hey, I’m not going to be the one who’s going to lose
829
00:29:47,488 –> 00:29:48,848
That person over there might.
830
00:29:48,848 –> 00:29:51,168
I mean, the fact is you raise wages,
831
00:29:51,168 –> 00:29:54,448
there’s still a a labor cost every business runs by.
832
00:29:54,688 –> 00:29:56,568
You’re going to have to reduce that one way or the
833
00:29:56,608 –> 00:29:59,408
other, either raising prices or lessening your labor.
834
00:30:00,168 –> 00:30:01,128
But you don’t want to pass 100%
835
00:30:01,128 –> 00:30:01,368
of it on.
836
00:30:01,368 –> 00:30:01,608
You can’t,
837
00:30:01,608 –> 00:30:03,968
because then you’re going to run yourself out of this
838
00:30:04,608 –> 00:30:06,208
But if if you pass on the consumer,
839
00:30:06,208 –> 00:30:07,808
you’re already passing inflation on to me.
840
00:30:08,528 –> 00:30:09,448
I’m not going out.
841
00:30:09,488 –> 00:30:10,488
I’m not getting a raise.
842
00:30:10,528 –> 00:30:12,368
Everybody in America knows.
843
00:30:12,528 –> 00:30:17,008
They now know it was all of fake political season that
844
00:30:17,008 –> 00:30:19,328
our real incomes have gone down.
845
00:30:19,648 –> 00:30:22,608
So you’re going to create more inflation here.
846
00:30:23,008 –> 00:30:24,208
The tax on tip,
847
00:30:24,208 –> 00:30:25,288
no tax on tips.
848
00:30:25,488 –> 00:30:26,448
Sorry, it’s a Trump one.
849
00:30:26,608 –> 00:30:27,568
It’s better.
850
00:30:27,968 –> 00:30:31,008
That puts more money into the worker’s pocket.
851
00:30:31,328 –> 00:30:34,848
It leaves the government with less money.
852
00:30:34,848 –> 00:30:36,168
We have to figure out how to balance the books.
853
00:30:36,168 –> 00:30:37,328
They’re not very good at that.
854
00:30:37,488 –> 00:30:41,888
But this is antithetical to creating business.
855
00:30:42,688 –> 00:30:47,568
But let me the how do you handle or how do restaurants
856
00:30:47,848 –> 00:30:51,408
I mean, because you’re in the association when consumers
857
00:30:51,888 –> 00:30:52,928
tip in cash,
858
00:30:53,968 –> 00:30:55,488
Is the wait staff,
859
00:30:55,648 –> 00:30:57,088
I mean is the wait person cash.
860
00:30:57,248 –> 00:30:58,408
I’m sorry,
861
00:30:58,528 –> 00:31:00,568
but do they have to report it?
862
00:31:01,168 –> 00:31:04,408
Because one restaurant said that they make all the
863
00:31:05,488 –> 00:31:06,528
waiters or you know,
864
00:31:06,528 –> 00:31:09,088
the staff put all their cash tips in.
865
00:31:09,968 –> 00:31:10,448
They had something.
866
00:31:10,448 –> 00:31:11,048
And I told the guy,
867
00:31:11,128 –> 00:31:12,368
I said I don’t think that’s right.
868
00:31:12,368 –> 00:31:15,008
You have to do it now technically.
869
00:31:15,008 –> 00:31:17,248
But what’s the IRS really looking at?
870
00:31:17,248 –> 00:31:17,448
About 12%?
871
00:31:17,448 –> 00:31:18,128
You better report it,
872
00:31:18,288 –> 00:31:18,888
Is it about right?
873
00:31:19,288 –> 00:31:20,088
It’s a very yes.
874
00:31:20,088 –> 00:31:21,488
It’s about 12 under the new law.
875
00:31:23,448 –> 00:31:26,768
The boss is handling all cash tips and all credit card
876
00:31:26,768 –> 00:31:29,048
tips and right now why don’t we don’t have to deal
877
00:31:29,088 –> 00:31:29,368
with them.
878
00:31:29,368 –> 00:31:31,448
They do their thing whether they want to share it,
879
00:31:31,448 –> 00:31:33,608
take their stations and it’s all and they’re all everybody’s
880
00:31:33,968 –> 00:31:37,008
So isn’t it if you want to if you want to put more
881
00:31:37,008 –> 00:31:39,488
money in the wait staff’s pocket and and the wait
882
00:31:39,488 –> 00:31:43,768
staff supports the no tax on tips because you know
883
00:31:43,768 –> 00:31:44,968
just just take it.
884
00:31:44,968 –> 00:31:46,688
You’re getting forward we’ll tax that and we’ll figure
885
00:31:46,688 –> 00:31:49,408
out the whole this is Frankenstein.
886
00:31:51,288 –> 00:31:54,848
It’s gonna it’s gonna be a disaster when when waiters
887
00:31:54,848 –> 00:31:56,208
don’t want it.
888
00:31:56,208 –> 00:31:56,848
When the restaurant,
889
00:31:56,848 –> 00:31:58,528
when the governor of Massachusetts,
890
00:31:58,848 –> 00:32:00,688
who used to be a waitress,
891
00:32:00,848 –> 00:32:01,648
doesn’t want it.
892
00:32:02,328 –> 00:32:04,288
And they actually put it on the ballot though.
893
00:32:04,288 –> 00:32:05,168
See, they did at least.
894
00:32:05,168 –> 00:32:05,648
Here you go,
895
00:32:05,648 –> 00:32:06,448
vote for it then.
896
00:32:06,648 –> 00:32:08,208
And they voted totally against it.
897
00:32:09,408 –> 00:32:10,448
So I mean,
898
00:32:11,408 –> 00:32:12,048
we’ve already,
899
00:32:12,048 –> 00:32:14,528
we still haven’t recovered from the COVID situation.
900
00:32:14,568 –> 00:32:15,288
Believe it or not,
901
00:32:15,288 –> 00:32:16,368
it’s 2024.
902
00:32:16,688 –> 00:32:18,368
From everything we’ve suffered,
903
00:32:18,648 –> 00:32:19,488
all the restaurants,
904
00:32:19,488 –> 00:32:20,128
hospitality.
905
00:32:20,488 –> 00:32:21,408
And now throw this.
906
00:32:21,408 –> 00:32:23,168
It’s like Michigan.
907
00:32:23,168 –> 00:32:24,928
Stay out of Michigan if you want to open a business.
908
00:32:25,008 –> 00:32:25,968
Bad for business.
909
00:32:27,048 –> 00:32:28,128
Yeah, people are.
910
00:32:28,528 –> 00:32:29,328
People are leaving.
911
00:32:30,328 –> 00:32:30,768
But you know,
912
00:32:30,768 –> 00:32:32,288
there’s another thing that doesn’t make sense.
913
00:32:32,288 –> 00:32:34,328
I mean, as we’re entering the holiday season,
914
00:32:34,328 –> 00:32:35,568
I like to send gift baskets.
915
00:32:35,568 –> 00:32:39,328
You cannot order and have a gift basket with wine sent
916
00:32:39,408 –> 00:32:40,688
into the state of Michigan.
917
00:32:41,408 –> 00:32:43,408
Like, I can’t send you a gift basket with wine.
918
00:32:44,008 –> 00:32:45,088
That makes no sense to me.
919
00:32:45,088 –> 00:32:46,528
Yeah, that’s why I wasn’t going to send any.
920
00:32:48,128 –> 00:32:48,408
All right,
921
00:32:48,528 –> 00:32:49,568
Mark, you know what?
922
00:32:51,088 –> 00:32:51,328
All right,
923
00:32:51,328 –> 00:32:51,808
well, let’s.
924
00:32:51,968 –> 00:32:53,088
OK, that’s the State House.
925
00:32:53,088 –> 00:33:00,688
But is it the Lansing County Commission that is talking
926
00:33:00,688 –> 00:33:02,768
about tampons?
927
00:33:02,848 –> 00:33:03,368
Ingham County.
928
00:33:03,368 –> 00:33:03,728
Ingham County.
929
00:33:04,048 –> 00:33:04,608
Ingham County.
930
00:33:04,768 –> 00:33:05,728
The Board of Commission.
931
00:33:05,728 –> 00:33:06,848
I’m from Ingham County.
932
00:33:06,928 –> 00:33:07,648
OK, Miss Mama.
933
00:33:07,648 –> 00:33:08,128
Shame, shame,
934
00:33:08,608 –> 00:33:08,848
All right,
935
00:33:08,848 –> 00:33:13,128
so it’s like tampons in the men’s room.
936
00:33:13,128 –> 00:33:13,568
In the men’s room.
937
00:33:14,128 –> 00:33:16,888
OK, I want to think about that a second.
938
00:33:19,608 –> 00:33:20,528
I’m not against it.
939
00:33:20,688 –> 00:33:21,168
Watch this.
940
00:33:21,168 –> 00:33:23,448
There’s somebody that’s transitioning.
941
00:33:24,208 –> 00:33:25,968
A woman is transitioning into a man.
942
00:33:26,608 –> 00:33:29,568
She wants to use the man’s toilet,
943
00:33:29,568 –> 00:33:31,328
like one out of a million or whatever it is.
944
00:33:32,368 –> 00:33:33,728
And you need a product.
945
00:33:34,848 –> 00:33:38,608
OK, but why are we?
946
00:33:40,208 –> 00:33:41,568
Why would the taxpayer?
947
00:33:41,648 –> 00:33:42,648
But do transgender.
948
00:33:42,648 –> 00:33:43,408
And I’m asking,
949
00:33:43,408 –> 00:33:45,088
do they have cycles?
950
00:33:45,168 –> 00:33:46,608
I mean, are they?
951
00:33:46,768 –> 00:33:50,848
I mean, until the ovaries are removed and the and the
952
00:33:50,888 –> 00:33:52,648
well, they’re transitioning from a woman to a man.
953
00:33:52,648 –> 00:33:52,968
I’m sorry,
954
00:33:53,168 –> 00:33:53,888
I misunderstood.
955
00:33:53,888 –> 00:33:55,608
I was thinking OK and you’re going to need one,
956
00:33:55,608 –> 00:33:56,208
but you’re a man,
957
00:33:56,208 –> 00:33:57,888
so you’re not going into the woman’s bathroom.
958
00:33:57,888 –> 00:34:03,808
OK, but one,
959
00:34:04,768 –> 00:34:05,728
why wouldn’t you just put?
960
00:34:06,408 –> 00:34:07,048
Dispenser up there.
961
00:34:07,048 –> 00:34:07,968
We have to pay for it.
962
00:34:09,008 –> 00:34:10,128
Just right,
963
00:34:11,088 –> 00:34:12,528
And then like in the women’s room,
964
00:34:12,848 –> 00:34:13,168
they used,
965
00:34:13,288 –> 00:34:15,488
it’s how they used to be years and years ago.
966
00:34:15,488 –> 00:34:17,728
You’d go into a restroom or whatever and they had the
967
00:34:17,728 –> 00:34:20,768
machine and you put in 1/4 or $0.50 whatever it was
968
00:34:20,928 –> 00:34:24,248
and it came out and you used what we have to spend
969
00:34:24,248 –> 00:34:24,688
our money,
970
00:34:24,688 –> 00:34:27,528
$32,000 for tampons and yet there’s no mental health
971
00:34:27,528 –> 00:34:28,288
money for anybody.
972
00:34:28,288 –> 00:34:28,688
There you go.
973
00:34:28,728 –> 00:34:29,368
There’s the problem.
974
00:34:29,408 –> 00:34:33,568
Well, let me ask you this in the in the public buildings
975
00:34:33,728 –> 00:34:35,888
now, are there tampon dispensers?
976
00:34:36,848 –> 00:34:37,728
I haven’t seen any.
977
00:34:38,808 –> 00:34:40,808
Those should be in there so people can get them.
978
00:34:41,408 –> 00:34:42,848
Maybe some still have them.
979
00:34:44,048 –> 00:34:44,488
I don’t know.
980
00:34:44,528 –> 00:34:46,208
So do they sell condoms?
981
00:34:47,168 –> 00:34:48,008
I don’t know.
982
00:34:48,008 –> 00:34:49,248
I think those are bars.
983
00:34:49,248 –> 00:34:50,848
Certain bars used to have condom machines.
984
00:34:50,848 –> 00:34:51,408
And they still might.
985
00:34:51,488 –> 00:34:51,808
And they may.
986
00:34:51,968 –> 00:34:54,128
Shouldn’t they put condoms up in the women’s bathroom
987
00:34:54,128 –> 00:34:56,368
for women who are transitioning from a man?
988
00:34:56,928 –> 00:34:58,528
Isn’t that a hygienic product?
989
00:34:59,688 –> 00:35:00,168
Good point.
990
00:35:00,168 –> 00:35:01,528
Well, they really should put them in there anyways,
991
00:35:01,528 –> 00:35:04,928
because women are generally more responsible getting
992
00:35:04,928 –> 00:35:06,008
condoms than guys.
993
00:35:06,608 –> 00:35:09,168
So I’ve heard some whacked out shit,
994
00:35:10,048 –> 00:35:11,248
Yeah, that doesn’t make any sense.
995
00:35:11,248 –> 00:35:13,568
But I was telling telling Grace earlier,
996
00:35:13,568 –> 00:35:17,848
I had gone into the restroom and I saw a urinal and
997
00:35:17,848 –> 00:35:18,728
I said, Oh my God,
998
00:35:18,728 –> 00:35:21,728
are they putting urinals now in women’s restrooms?
999
00:35:21,728 –> 00:35:22,528
And I took a picture.
1000
00:35:22,528 –> 00:35:22,928
I was ready.
1001
00:35:22,928 –> 00:35:23,208
I was like,
1002
00:35:23,208 –> 00:35:23,648
Oh my God.
1003
00:35:24,328 –> 00:35:26,848
And then I walked out and I realized I had accidentally
1004
00:35:26,848 –> 00:35:27,888
gone into the men’s room.
1005
00:35:28,208 –> 00:35:29,168
So, you know,
1006
00:35:29,688 –> 00:35:30,568
I mean, but I was already,
1007
00:35:30,568 –> 00:35:30,768
I’m like,
1008
00:35:30,768 –> 00:35:32,288
oh, they’re putting urinals in women’s room.
1009
00:35:32,608 –> 00:35:34,928
But we should just have restrooms.
1010
00:35:35,088 –> 00:35:35,848
And it did happen.
1011
00:35:35,848 –> 00:35:37,048
I’m glad nobody walked in.
1012
00:35:37,168 –> 00:35:38,368
I’m glad nobody was in there.
1013
00:35:38,608 –> 00:35:41,168
But why not just have restrooms?
1014
00:35:41,288 –> 00:35:41,888
And, you know,
1015
00:35:41,888 –> 00:35:42,848
so because we keep,
1016
00:35:42,928 –> 00:35:44,928
yeah, individual restrooms and it doesn’t matter.
1017
00:35:44,928 –> 00:35:46,848
It doesn’t matter which what you are,
1018
00:35:46,848 –> 00:35:47,648
just wash your hands,
1019
00:35:47,768 –> 00:35:48,528
old buildings.
1020
00:35:48,968 –> 00:35:50,728
No space, right.
1021
00:35:50,848 –> 00:35:53,488
You know, like you go to LA and then it’s it’s just
1022
00:35:53,488 –> 00:35:56,128
a row or you go to Europe and newer places,
1023
00:35:56,248 –> 00:35:57,648
it’s just a row of doors,
1024
00:35:58,248 –> 00:35:59,968
And and that’s it.
1025
00:36:00,608 –> 00:36:01,968
But we have old buildings.
1026
00:36:02,128 –> 00:36:03,128
So you know,
1027
00:36:03,648 –> 00:36:07,888
it reminds me when I was working at the New York Times,
1028
00:36:07,888 –> 00:36:14,288
it was about the year 2000 and I’m going to call him
1029
00:36:14,288 –> 00:36:17,408
Bob, OK, Bob was transitioning into Babs.
1030
00:36:18,488 –> 00:36:22,928
And Babs wanted to use the woman’s toilet,
1031
00:36:24,288 –> 00:36:25,168
And the women,
1032
00:36:25,168 –> 00:36:25,968
the New York Times women,
1033
00:36:25,968 –> 00:36:27,408
sharp elbowed,
1034
00:36:27,728 –> 00:36:29,088
very, you know,
1035
00:36:29,408 –> 00:36:30,208
new world,
1036
00:36:30,448 –> 00:36:31,568
feministic,
1037
00:36:32,208 –> 00:36:36,528
liberal, absolutely refused to have Babs because it
1038
00:36:36,528 –> 00:36:38,528
was sort of a year transition.
1039
00:36:38,528 –> 00:36:41,808
You live as a woman before reassignment surgery and
1040
00:36:41,808 –> 00:36:42,608
they revolted.
1041
00:36:43,248 –> 00:36:43,688
They were like,
1042
00:36:43,728 –> 00:36:46,768
absolutely fucking not.
1043
00:36:46,768 –> 00:36:49,728
But was Bob still Bob or was Bob fully Babs?
1044
00:36:49,728 –> 00:36:50,408
I mean, Bob,
1045
00:36:50,688 –> 00:36:52,208
Bob was transitioning to Babs.
1046
00:36:52,368 –> 00:36:53,328
Did Bob have his parts?
1047
00:36:53,328 –> 00:36:54,528
He did his male parts.
1048
00:36:54,528 –> 00:36:56,008
OK, so Bob was still Bob.
1049
00:36:57,488 –> 00:36:58,568
See, now we’re getting into all this,
1050
00:36:58,568 –> 00:36:59,488
but that’s what I’m saying.
1051
00:36:59,488 –> 00:37:00,408
So we don’t,
1052
00:37:00,608 –> 00:37:01,648
we don’t know how it works.
1053
00:37:01,648 –> 00:37:02,208
But I’m saying,
1054
00:37:02,208 –> 00:37:03,488
so if Bob is,
1055
00:37:03,648 –> 00:37:04,128
you know,
1056
00:37:04,608 –> 00:37:06,808
Boo, meaning he’s just in the middle and not moved
1057
00:37:06,808 –> 00:37:08,048
from Bob to Babs.
1058
00:37:08,488 –> 00:37:11,448
And he’s still technically Bob and should be handled
1059
00:37:11,448 –> 00:37:13,408
and treated as Bob and not Babs.
1060
00:37:13,408 –> 00:37:16,368
Now when his transition is complete and he’s now Babs,
1061
00:37:16,368 –> 00:37:17,608
then he has access.
1062
00:37:19,408 –> 00:37:23,248
So I mean because in women’s bathrooms you have stalls,
1063
00:37:24,608 –> 00:37:28,968
So is it you’re worried that Bob slash Babs would be
1064
00:37:28,968 –> 00:37:29,648
a predator?
1065
00:37:30,368 –> 00:37:32,848
I think that that that’s what people have said.
1066
00:37:32,968 –> 00:37:35,928
I mean and when I’m not saying Babs was right,
1067
00:37:36,048 –> 00:37:38,048
but it sure invites a whole.
1068
00:37:38,168 –> 00:37:39,648
But women are predators too.
1069
00:37:39,648 –> 00:37:41,568
So I mean where does that?
1070
00:37:41,568 –> 00:37:43,648
I mean how do you distinguish between?
1071
00:37:43,648 –> 00:37:47,728
I mean a gender does not mandate that a person has
1072
00:37:48,448 –> 00:37:51,568
pedophilic or predator practices.
1073
00:37:51,568 –> 00:37:53,328
I mean it happens on both sides.
1074
00:37:53,568 –> 00:37:55,808
See, because this is key cause guys don’t care,
1075
00:37:57,528 –> 00:37:58,928
Straight women will be drunk and hey,
1076
00:37:58,928 –> 00:38:01,328
watch the door for me and come in and they use it.
1077
00:38:01,488 –> 00:38:04,768
And I don’t care who who’s using it,
1078
00:38:05,728 –> 00:38:08,048
It really comes back to a woman’s space again,
1079
00:38:08,848 –> 00:38:09,488
You know what I mean?
1080
00:38:09,728 –> 00:38:14,528
And the way it was the solution at the New York Times
1081
00:38:14,528 –> 00:38:17,008
was they they took a woman’s bathroom and made it.
1082
00:38:18,168 –> 00:38:20,848
Bob Babb’s bathroom and women could use it if they
1083
00:38:20,848 –> 00:38:21,488
wanted to.
1084
00:38:21,528 –> 00:38:22,768
And not a single one did.
1085
00:38:23,328 –> 00:38:24,208
Not a single one did.
1086
00:38:24,208 –> 00:38:24,728
So interesting.
1087
00:38:24,768 –> 00:38:26,208
So I find it interesting now,
1088
00:38:26,208 –> 00:38:28,528
like 20 some years later,
1089
00:38:29,648 –> 00:38:32,048
that the New York Times has as an op-ed,
1090
00:38:32,528 –> 00:38:35,488
the bathrooms of the Capitol are now unsafe spaces,
1091
00:38:36,608 –> 00:38:39,088
written by Anna Marks,
1092
00:38:39,088 –> 00:38:41,088
who writes a lot about gay,
1093
00:38:41,488 –> 00:38:43,168
lesbian, bi,
1094
00:38:43,488 –> 00:38:45,248
queer and all the other letters.
1095
00:38:47,368 –> 00:38:48,568
No, up here it is.
1096
00:38:49,608 –> 00:38:50,008
I’m sorry.
1097
00:38:50,528 –> 00:38:50,968
I’m sorry.
1098
00:38:51,328 –> 00:38:52,768
So that’s Nancy Mace,
1099
00:38:52,768 –> 00:38:53,648
the conservative.
1100
00:38:54,007 –> 00:38:58,087
Republican from South Carolina and the new member of
1101
00:38:58,087 –> 00:38:58,567
the House,
1102
00:38:58,567 –> 00:39:01,367
transgender from Delaware.
1103
00:39:01,607 –> 00:39:03,047
Help me with the name Sarah McBride.
1104
00:39:03,127 –> 00:39:04,087
Sarah McBride.
1105
00:39:04,487 –> 00:39:08,367
So now there’s a big war on Capitol Hill.
1106
00:39:08,367 –> 00:39:10,247
What they’re going to do with with the toilets.
1107
00:39:10,967 –> 00:39:15,127
There are unisex toilets and there are men’s toilets
1108
00:39:15,207 –> 00:39:16,647
and there are women’s toilets.
1109
00:39:17,447 –> 00:39:20,807
So she’s what pass a legislation like you can’t.
1110
00:39:21,047 –> 00:39:23,687
Yeah, a resolution or legislation.
1111
00:39:24,007 –> 00:39:24,727
Did it pass?
1112
00:39:25,447 –> 00:39:27,767
Well, I think they just came to an agreement because
1113
00:39:27,767 –> 00:39:28,967
I think Sarah McBride’s like,
1114
00:39:29,127 –> 00:39:29,527
all right,
1115
00:39:29,607 –> 00:39:31,687
there’s bigger things to worry about.
1116
00:39:31,847 –> 00:39:33,007
I’ll just use whatever.
1117
00:39:33,287 –> 00:39:35,927
I have a bathroom in my own office.
1118
00:39:36,167 –> 00:39:38,727
Put that back up so I can read what what the author’s
1119
00:39:38,727 –> 00:39:42,567
writing though.
1120
00:39:42,607 –> 00:39:43,127
On Monday,
1121
00:39:43,207 –> 00:39:45,767
the South Care representative announced plans to introduce
1122
00:39:45,767 –> 00:39:46,247
a measure.
1123
00:39:47,287 –> 00:39:48,247
Now keep going.
1124
00:39:48,967 –> 00:39:51,767
Move that would prohibit transgender people from using
1125
00:39:51,767 –> 00:39:54,487
single sex facilities on the House side of the Capitol,
1126
00:39:55,287 –> 00:39:55,847
locker rooms,
1127
00:39:55,847 –> 00:39:56,487
etcetera.
1128
00:39:56,887 –> 00:39:57,647
And the author writes,
1129
00:39:57,647 –> 00:39:58,807
while abhorrent,
1130
00:39:59,207 –> 00:40:01,847
the move is straight out of a long time reactionary
1131
00:40:01,847 –> 00:40:04,887
playbook a decade ago after their attempts to exclude
1132
00:40:04,887 –> 00:40:05,447
gay people,
1133
00:40:05,447 –> 00:40:05,767
etcetera,
1134
00:40:05,767 –> 00:40:06,087
etcetera.
1135
00:40:06,327 –> 00:40:10,567
Like, is it a reactionary playbook when there are look,
1136
00:40:10,967 –> 00:40:11,967
here’s how I look at life.
1137
00:40:12,807 –> 00:40:15,127
There are straight people.
1138
00:40:15,527 –> 00:40:16,567
There are gay people.
1139
00:40:16,647 –> 00:40:19,847
There are people in between,
1140
00:40:20,527 –> 00:40:21,087
Transgender,
1141
00:40:22,487 –> 00:40:23,767
fully accept them,
1142
00:40:23,767 –> 00:40:24,487
love them.
1143
00:40:24,487 –> 00:40:25,607
There should be space for them.
1144
00:40:25,687 –> 00:40:28,487
They should be included in the Olympics and their category
1145
00:40:28,487 –> 00:40:29,207
of people.
1146
00:40:30,967 –> 00:40:34,327
But let’s make accommodations,
1147
00:40:34,967 –> 00:40:38,327
but let’s not take it from people that don’t feel
1148
00:40:39,127 –> 00:40:39,847
comfortable.
1149
00:40:40,087 –> 00:40:40,847
But my thing,
1150
00:40:40,847 –> 00:40:44,487
what about and and you and Mark can answer this.
1151
00:40:45,287 –> 00:40:46,327
You’re in a men’s room.
1152
00:40:46,727 –> 00:40:48,887
There’s a guy who is gay,
1153
00:40:50,087 –> 00:40:52,167
maybe even a little flamboyant,
1154
00:40:52,487 –> 00:40:53,447
but he’s gay,
1155
00:40:53,607 –> 00:40:56,087
the male and and he comes into the men’s room.
1156
00:40:56,327 –> 00:40:58,087
Like, is that uncomfortable?
1157
00:40:59,047 –> 00:41:00,887
I mean, but that’s but that’s what I’m saying.
1158
00:41:00,967 –> 00:41:02,047
So where do you?
1159
00:41:02,047 –> 00:41:02,607
No, I’m just saying,
1160
00:41:02,607 –> 00:41:03,567
so where do you draw the line?
1161
00:41:03,567 –> 00:41:05,967
So if you have a a woman that may be gay and it may
1162
00:41:05,967 –> 00:41:08,487
be Butch and she comes into the but it’s still a woman.
1163
00:41:08,487 –> 00:41:11,967
I mean the lines are so like just let everybody use
1164
00:41:11,967 –> 00:41:12,567
the bathroom.
1165
00:41:12,967 –> 00:41:15,527
Oh, like many years ago in like West Hollywood,
1166
00:41:16,007 –> 00:41:18,167
I went to a killer gay bar.
1167
00:41:19,527 –> 00:41:20,087
The Abbey,
1168
00:41:20,607 –> 00:41:21,527
It’s in West Hollywood.
1169
00:41:22,047 –> 00:41:23,607
And I went in with my buddy Gary.
1170
00:41:24,647 –> 00:41:27,287
Gary’s gay and flamboyantly so.
1171
00:41:27,527 –> 00:41:29,967
And he’s got a stall.
1172
00:41:30,087 –> 00:41:30,887
I got a stall.
1173
00:41:30,967 –> 00:41:32,007
And we’re gonna do,
1174
00:41:32,007 –> 00:41:33,007
we’re gonna do a couple of bumps,
1175
00:41:33,007 –> 00:41:34,167
a little cocaine,
1176
00:41:35,127 –> 00:41:35,727
Oh, not you,
1177
00:41:37,007 –> 00:41:37,807
It was the 80s.
1178
00:41:37,807 –> 00:41:38,847
Yeah, it was the 80s,
1179
00:41:39,287 –> 00:41:41,287
You know, it was last year.
1180
00:41:41,367 –> 00:41:43,047
It was another lifetime ago.
1181
00:41:43,527 –> 00:41:48,127
And he does his bit and then he passes it under the
1182
00:41:48,127 –> 00:41:51,207
stall and I’m in and I I get it and I do my bit.
1183
00:41:51,447 –> 00:41:56,487
And then I come out and I realize and Gary comes out.
1184
00:41:57,727 –> 00:41:59,207
But we weren’t stalled to stall.
1185
00:42:00,007 –> 00:42:01,607
There was a guy in between us.
1186
00:42:02,247 –> 00:42:03,047
He comes out and goes,
1187
00:42:03,127 –> 00:42:05,367
hey, gives us a thanks,
1188
00:42:05,367 –> 00:42:05,767
brothers.
1189
00:42:08,807 –> 00:42:11,607
That’s what happens in a men’s bathroom.
1190
00:42:11,607 –> 00:42:11,847
Yeah, man,
1191
00:42:11,847 –> 00:42:12,687
at a gay bar,
1192
00:42:12,687 –> 00:42:13,447
that’s what happens.
1193
00:42:13,447 –> 00:42:14,807
It was fly.
1194
00:42:14,887 –> 00:42:16,047
It was, you know what I mean?
1195
00:42:16,047 –> 00:42:17,847
It was like the most exciting thing we have is,
1196
00:42:17,847 –> 00:42:18,727
hey, we’re out of tissue.
1197
00:42:18,727 –> 00:42:19,607
Can you pass me some?
1198
00:42:19,727 –> 00:42:21,167
Yeah, we’re rolling it underneath.
1199
00:42:21,607 –> 00:42:23,807
Or sometimes you throw it over just for fun.
1200
00:42:26,727 –> 00:42:29,447
I just instead of trying to reengineer society,
1201
00:42:30,247 –> 00:42:32,087
kind of try to respect people,
1202
00:42:32,327 –> 00:42:33,687
It’s like whatever.
1203
00:42:33,807 –> 00:42:35,447
But everybody needs to respect everyone.
1204
00:42:35,447 –> 00:42:36,207
I I’m a woman.
1205
00:42:36,327 –> 00:42:38,087
I don’t want a man coming into my bathroom.
1206
00:42:38,327 –> 00:42:40,407
If I take a little kid in or my whatever,
1207
00:42:40,407 –> 00:42:41,607
I don’t want that happening.
1208
00:42:41,847 –> 00:42:42,807
If you’re a man you don’t want,
1209
00:42:42,807 –> 00:42:43,367
that’s fine.
1210
00:42:43,367 –> 00:42:45,927
So have one that’s available for everyone and everyone
1211
00:42:45,927 –> 00:42:47,767
just lighten the freak up.
1212
00:42:47,807 –> 00:42:48,647
I’m sick of everyone.
1213
00:42:49,047 –> 00:42:50,447
Just being offended by,
1214
00:42:50,447 –> 00:42:52,127
I’m offended that everybody’s offended by everything.
1215
00:42:52,127 –> 00:42:52,647
I’m over it.
1216
00:42:52,647 –> 00:42:53,447
That time’s gone.
1217
00:42:53,687 –> 00:42:54,407
Grow up, people.
1218
00:42:54,647 –> 00:42:56,407
And I think that has a lot to do with it too,
1219
00:42:56,407 –> 00:42:59,687
because if a man is out with his daughter and he asks
1220
00:42:59,687 –> 00:43:00,087
her, you know,
1221
00:43:00,087 –> 00:43:01,127
lets her go into the restroom.
1222
00:43:01,127 –> 00:43:03,247
So I think there’s a legit because you’ve had men say,
1223
00:43:03,247 –> 00:43:03,607
hey, you know,
1224
00:43:03,607 –> 00:43:04,487
my daughter’s in there.
1225
00:43:04,487 –> 00:43:05,527
Can you keep an eye on her?
1226
00:43:05,607 –> 00:43:06,207
I understand.
1227
00:43:06,207 –> 00:43:07,047
And I respect that.
1228
00:43:07,047 –> 00:43:08,007
So you’re right,
1229
00:43:08,007 –> 00:43:10,727
Grace, just just those safety parameters and respecting,
1230
00:43:10,727 –> 00:43:11,047
you know,
1231
00:43:11,047 –> 00:43:13,047
that there are other people that don’t look.
1232
00:43:13,447 –> 00:43:14,087
We all can’t.
1233
00:43:14,247 –> 00:43:15,287
We don’t have to think.
1234
00:43:15,367 –> 00:43:17,767
We just want to go to the bathroom and have an open
1235
00:43:17,767 –> 00:43:19,047
mind, respect each other.
1236
00:43:19,207 –> 00:43:20,727
None of us agree on everything.
1237
00:43:20,767 –> 00:43:21,487
And that’s OK.
1238
00:43:21,487 –> 00:43:23,127
I mean, the last few years,
1239
00:43:23,127 –> 00:43:24,967
like if you didn’t agree on one thing or cease saying
1240
00:43:24,967 –> 00:43:25,327
one thing,
1241
00:43:25,327 –> 00:43:26,087
cancel culture,
1242
00:43:26,087 –> 00:43:26,807
this, that,
1243
00:43:26,807 –> 00:43:27,367
you’re this,
1244
00:43:27,367 –> 00:43:27,927
you’re shit,
1245
00:43:27,927 –> 00:43:28,767
you’re garbage,
1246
00:43:28,767 –> 00:43:29,447
whatever you are.
1247
00:43:30,247 –> 00:43:32,407
In fact, all you said that you all are that now.
1248
00:43:32,647 –> 00:43:33,327
Just relax.
1249
00:43:33,327 –> 00:43:34,647
Everybody respect each other.
1250
00:43:36,367 –> 00:43:37,847
I don’t care what you’re carrying.
1251
00:43:38,647 –> 00:43:39,527
Go use the stall.
1252
00:43:39,607 –> 00:43:40,327
That’s what I’m saying.
1253
00:43:40,327 –> 00:43:41,047
Just use the restroom.
1254
00:43:41,047 –> 00:43:43,087
I’m more concerned about people still in the restroom
1255
00:43:43,087 –> 00:43:44,967
that come out and still don’t wash their hands.
1256
00:43:44,967 –> 00:43:46,087
That that’s a problem.
1257
00:43:46,087 –> 00:43:48,807
That offends me more than you being of another gender.
1258
00:43:49,367 –> 00:43:51,447
I don’t want to legislate either one of them,
1259
00:43:53,687 –> 00:43:55,087
Yeah, but we need a law.
1260
00:43:55,207 –> 00:43:56,287
You don’t need a law for it.
1261
00:43:56,287 –> 00:43:57,887
Do we need a law to wash your hands?
1262
00:43:57,927 –> 00:43:59,087
No, you shouldn’t.
1263
00:43:59,087 –> 00:44:01,087
And a law doesn’t make you more conscious.
1264
00:44:01,087 –> 00:44:01,927
Well, hold on a moment.
1265
00:44:02,247 –> 00:44:02,807
For real, though.
1266
00:44:02,967 –> 00:44:04,327
You go like you go like this.
1267
00:44:04,727 –> 00:44:06,087
You’re you’re at.
1268
00:44:07,127 –> 00:44:09,687
A Lions game and everybody’s waiting for line,
1269
00:44:09,847 –> 00:44:14,967
And the men’s shit is is just this mile long and there’s
1270
00:44:14,967 –> 00:44:18,167
just a few few women in line and a guy goes trudging
1271
00:44:18,167 –> 00:44:18,567
in there.
1272
00:44:19,367 –> 00:44:20,087
What you gonna say?
1273
00:44:20,087 –> 00:44:21,087
I’d be pissing.
1274
00:44:21,607 –> 00:44:22,487
If the women are like,
1275
00:44:22,567 –> 00:44:23,127
hey, get out of here,
1276
00:44:23,287 –> 00:44:23,967
what are you gonna say?
1277
00:44:23,967 –> 00:44:24,927
Yeah, if the women are like,
1278
00:44:24,927 –> 00:44:26,167
hey, well,
1279
00:44:26,327 –> 00:44:27,167
I I just don’t want to.
1280
00:44:27,167 –> 00:44:29,527
I don’t want there to be a law to have to legislate
1281
00:44:29,927 –> 00:44:30,247
it, right?
1282
00:44:30,327 –> 00:44:30,647
Well, you know,
1283
00:44:30,767 –> 00:44:32,167
dude, get the fuck out of there.
1284
00:44:32,247 –> 00:44:35,767
Well, of course you’re trying to make law where you
1285
00:44:35,767 –> 00:44:36,567
can do that.
1286
00:44:37,367 –> 00:44:39,247
What do you what do you got to hold your reassignment
1287
00:44:39,247 –> 00:44:41,527
card out in case the authorities ask.
1288
00:44:42,647 –> 00:44:43,967
We should just be using common sense.
1289
00:44:43,967 –> 00:44:44,487
That’s what I mean.
1290
00:44:44,967 –> 00:44:46,807
That’s why I don’t want to law about common sense.
1291
00:44:47,007 –> 00:44:47,647
Common sense.
1292
00:44:47,767 –> 00:44:48,327
That’s it.
1293
00:44:48,527 –> 00:44:49,287
What you just said.
1294
00:44:49,287 –> 00:44:53,167
So look, if if you live as a woman and you let’s say
1295
00:44:53,207 –> 00:44:55,767
you live as a woman but dress as a guy,
1296
00:44:55,767 –> 00:44:57,687
are you going to say something to him?
1297
00:44:59,287 –> 00:45:01,527
But what is if if he dresses as a woman,
1298
00:45:01,527 –> 00:45:03,447
are you going to say something to her?
1299
00:45:06,607 –> 00:45:07,367
So you know,
1300
00:45:07,767 –> 00:45:11,007
I just say it’s going to be back to where it is anyway,
1301
00:45:12,487 –> 00:45:16,807
Yeah, but it’s just volumes and volumes of bullshit
1302
00:45:17,007 –> 00:45:18,127
and what we should already know.
1303
00:45:18,127 –> 00:45:20,487
But that’s why cause it riles people up on both sides
1304
00:45:20,487 –> 00:45:21,927
and it’s fucking exhausting.
1305
00:45:21,967 –> 00:45:23,127
We need shit fixed,
1306
00:45:23,127 –> 00:45:26,087
but we can’t spend $32,000 on tampons.
1307
00:45:26,567 –> 00:45:28,807
But it also gives them something to say that they’re
1308
00:45:28,807 –> 00:45:29,847
doing again.
1309
00:45:29,847 –> 00:45:31,127
We’re working on something,
1310
00:45:31,127 –> 00:45:32,047
but you’re not doing anything.
1311
00:45:32,727 –> 00:45:34,887
Let’s remember England County is running.
1312
00:45:35,247 –> 00:45:36,247
A deficit.
1313
00:45:36,327 –> 00:45:37,527
You’re not allowed to,
1314
00:45:38,087 –> 00:45:39,647
In these levels of government,
1315
00:45:39,647 –> 00:45:40,487
you’re not allowed to.
1316
00:45:40,967 –> 00:45:43,447
And yet it’s going to start out at 32,
1317
00:45:43,447 –> 00:45:45,927
the estimation to put tampons in there and what?
1318
00:45:45,927 –> 00:45:49,447
Just just make them a dollar.
1319
00:45:50,287 –> 00:45:52,407
So you already run into a deficit.
1320
00:45:52,407 –> 00:45:53,527
That’s a that’s a novel idea.
1321
00:45:53,527 –> 00:45:55,127
Maybe they can make money off of doing it.
1322
00:45:55,287 –> 00:45:57,447
There’s a business that’ll cuts like like a what do
1323
00:45:57,447 –> 00:45:59,367
you call those machines that you know you buy candy.
1324
00:45:59,847 –> 00:46:00,767
There’s a vending machine.
1325
00:46:00,767 –> 00:46:01,207
That’s it.
1326
00:46:01,447 –> 00:46:03,647
You have a company that’s going to do vending machines.
1327
00:46:03,967 –> 00:46:05,207
Ingham County stay the hell out of it.
1328
00:46:05,207 –> 00:46:06,687
Yeah, but they have companies that do that.
1329
00:46:06,687 –> 00:46:08,887
We’ve, you know that that are in women’s rooms and
1330
00:46:08,887 –> 00:46:09,447
you can buy.
1331
00:46:09,447 –> 00:46:10,807
But they want to give them all for free.
1332
00:46:10,807 –> 00:46:11,927
Like everything’s for free.
1333
00:46:12,967 –> 00:46:17,367
OK, well now finally Mike Duggan.
1334
00:46:18,807 –> 00:46:20,327
Who wants to run for governor?
1335
00:46:20,407 –> 00:46:25,287
And he had a little press conference and all the gerbils
1336
00:46:25,287 –> 00:46:29,527
ran up there and and and took their acorn and dutifully
1337
00:46:29,527 –> 00:46:30,167
reported it.
1338
00:46:30,567 –> 00:46:33,127
I accomplished the thing I wanted to accomplish was
1339
00:46:33,127 –> 00:46:34,647
to grow Detroit.
1340
00:46:35,647 –> 00:46:39,847
OK, well, he didn’t grow Detroit because when you came
1341
00:46:39,927 –> 00:46:40,447
became mayor,
1342
00:46:40,447 –> 00:46:42,327
there was 680,000 people here.
1343
00:46:42,967 –> 00:46:44,527
There’s now 630,000.
1344
00:46:44,727 –> 00:46:47,767
That’s a loss of 50,000 people.
1345
00:46:48,247 –> 00:46:50,767
But he looks back to last year and says we actually
1346
00:46:50,767 –> 00:46:52,487
gained about 1800 people.
1347
00:46:52,887 –> 00:46:55,287
OK, if you take out the illegal aliens,
1348
00:46:55,447 –> 00:46:56,567
you lost people.
1349
00:46:56,887 –> 00:46:57,927
And what is it?
1350
00:46:57,927 –> 00:47:00,407
The World Population Review?
1351
00:47:00,487 –> 00:47:02,167
Their estimates are pretty good.
1352
00:47:03,127 –> 00:47:06,727
And Detroit is on schedule to lose more people again.
1353
00:47:07,367 –> 00:47:09,927
So what is this bullshit?
1354
00:47:10,647 –> 00:47:11,847
That the guy’s selling us.
1355
00:47:11,847 –> 00:47:13,647
It’s just like he said all the time.
1356
00:47:13,647 –> 00:47:16,407
He controls the narrative and everybody just runs with
1357
00:47:16,887 –> 00:47:17,767
I mean, it’s like,
1358
00:47:17,767 –> 00:47:19,287
OK, nobody is doing the math.
1359
00:47:19,367 –> 00:47:20,367
I had this conversation with him.
1360
00:47:20,367 –> 00:47:21,527
I said, have you not listened to Charlie?
1361
00:47:21,527 –> 00:47:24,967
Charlie has literally broken down the population numbers
1362
00:47:24,967 –> 00:47:26,407
since he has taken office.
1363
00:47:26,647 –> 00:47:28,647
You know, he said he gained about 1500 people,
1364
00:47:28,647 –> 00:47:31,727
but you lost 80,000 since you took like that doesn’t
1365
00:47:31,727 –> 00:47:33,047
equate to growth.
1366
00:47:33,367 –> 00:47:33,847
But, you know,
1367
00:47:33,847 –> 00:47:34,847
remember he’s out there going,
1368
00:47:34,847 –> 00:47:36,047
what a bunch of cranks.
1369
00:47:36,047 –> 00:47:37,967
They don’t know how to count and he’s suing them.
1370
00:47:37,967 –> 00:47:40,247
He’s trying to get a recount and he can’t get it.
1371
00:47:40,607 –> 00:47:41,447
Finally, he gets it.
1372
00:47:41,487 –> 00:47:43,287
When they’re bussing people up from the border,
1373
00:47:43,607 –> 00:47:44,807
he gets a new estimate.
1374
00:47:45,607 –> 00:47:46,327
And then again,
1375
00:47:46,727 –> 00:47:47,887
you’re not doing a good job.
1376
00:47:48,007 –> 00:47:50,487
We all know these buildings are empty.
1377
00:47:51,127 –> 00:47:52,087
You know, we know they are.
1378
00:47:52,087 –> 00:47:53,327
We know it’s a Potomkin village.
1379
00:47:53,327 –> 00:47:55,287
All you got to do is come down here one day,
1380
00:47:55,767 –> 00:47:56,167
one night,
1381
00:47:56,167 –> 00:47:57,367
look outside one night,
1382
00:47:57,367 –> 00:48:00,487
one day and look around outside and see what’s going
1383
00:48:01,287 –> 00:48:04,087
Detroit used to be people would come into the offices,
1384
00:48:04,087 –> 00:48:04,887
come into the buildings.
1385
00:48:04,887 –> 00:48:08,087
We are not an actual office workforce business city.
1386
00:48:08,327 –> 00:48:12,247
We are now event and convention driven city and it’s
1387
00:48:12,247 –> 00:48:14,167
changed completely and it’ll never go back.
1388
00:48:14,167 –> 00:48:15,927
People need to get up off their asses,
1389
00:48:16,047 –> 00:48:16,727
out of their house,
1390
00:48:16,887 –> 00:48:19,047
get into these buildings and fill them up.
1391
00:48:19,647 –> 00:48:22,207
Pretty buildings with emptiness in there doesn’t make
1392
00:48:22,647 –> 00:48:24,807
There’s businesses that were promised things.
1393
00:48:24,967 –> 00:48:27,807
Things were built to make all the businesses around
1394
00:48:27,807 –> 00:48:28,247
it thrive.
1395
00:48:28,407 –> 00:48:29,127
It’s not working.
1396
00:48:29,967 –> 00:48:30,767
Let’s be honest,
1397
00:48:30,767 –> 00:48:31,887
we’ve done it a million times.
1398
00:48:31,887 –> 00:48:32,407
Not going to go.
1399
00:48:32,487 –> 00:48:33,767
These are fake crime numbers,
1400
00:48:34,647 –> 00:48:36,167
So when you where people live,
1401
00:48:36,567 –> 00:48:37,687
it’s not getting done.
1402
00:48:38,087 –> 00:48:39,367
The schools aren’t getting done.
1403
00:48:39,607 –> 00:48:42,487
The policing is they do the best they can.
1404
00:48:42,487 –> 00:48:44,727
I’m not going to dog on rank and file cops,
1405
00:48:44,727 –> 00:48:46,807
but it’s a mirage.
1406
00:48:47,087 –> 00:48:50,247
And that’s why the population continues to fall.
1407
00:48:50,407 –> 00:48:51,927
Tell the fucking truth.
1408
00:48:52,247 –> 00:48:53,687
Now you want to run for governor.
1409
00:48:53,887 –> 00:48:54,407
But you know,
1410
00:48:54,887 –> 00:48:56,087
just something that Grace said.
1411
00:48:56,247 –> 00:48:57,687
I was thinking about that the other day.
1412
00:48:57,687 –> 00:49:00,487
I had a meeting at downtown and I said there are no
1413
00:49:00,487 –> 00:49:01,607
people down here.
1414
00:49:01,687 –> 00:49:05,767
You remember even Detroit at its worst during the week,
1415
00:49:06,007 –> 00:49:06,967
during the day,
1416
00:49:07,327 –> 00:49:08,487
there were people down here.
1417
00:49:08,647 –> 00:49:10,247
Like there were places to go for lunch.
1418
00:49:10,247 –> 00:49:11,567
You had to find a place to park.
1419
00:49:12,167 –> 00:49:14,807
I mean, there was activity.
1420
00:49:15,407 –> 00:49:16,647
That doesn’t exist anymore.
1421
00:49:16,647 –> 00:49:17,447
And that is,
1422
00:49:17,447 –> 00:49:19,087
remember when I went to Chicago and you know,
1423
00:49:19,087 –> 00:49:19,447
we said, hey,
1424
00:49:19,447 –> 00:49:20,567
but there are people here,
1425
00:49:20,807 –> 00:49:21,367
New York,
1426
00:49:21,367 –> 00:49:22,327
there are people here,
1427
00:49:22,807 –> 00:49:23,367
you know,
1428
00:49:23,367 –> 00:49:24,727
I mean, they’re not here.
1429
00:49:25,367 –> 00:49:27,447
And and a few people walking their dogs because they
1430
00:49:27,447 –> 00:49:29,567
moved into some of the apartments down here doesn’t
1431
00:49:29,567 –> 00:49:30,527
constitute growth.
1432
00:49:31,127 –> 00:49:31,967
No, doesn’t,
1433
00:49:31,967 –> 00:49:32,567
doesn’t really.
1434
00:49:33,687 –> 00:49:36,367
So I’m going to,
1435
00:49:36,367 –> 00:49:37,927
I’m going to have Thanksgiving off.
1436
00:49:37,967 –> 00:49:39,047
I mean, we’ll we’ll see.
1437
00:49:39,207 –> 00:49:39,967
See you in two weeks.
1438
00:49:39,967 –> 00:49:40,967
I’ll get you Tucker,
1439
00:49:41,767 –> 00:49:42,167
you know.
1440
00:49:43,087 –> 00:49:45,127
Soon if if the world’s not on fire,
1441
00:49:45,287 –> 00:49:46,487
if not get Cuomo again.
1442
00:49:46,487 –> 00:49:47,927
He had a good show last night.
1443
00:49:48,567 –> 00:49:49,767
Oh, he had a good show last night.
1444
00:49:49,927 –> 00:49:53,207
He had a great show.
1445
00:49:53,607 –> 00:49:54,807
He had Stephen A Smith,
1446
00:49:55,447 –> 00:49:56,167
Bill O’Reilly.
1447
00:49:56,167 –> 00:49:57,607
He had a great show last night.
1448
00:49:57,607 –> 00:49:58,527
I missed it.
1449
00:49:59,847 –> 00:50:01,527
The only thing that was missing was you.
1450
00:50:01,767 –> 00:50:03,567
I said Charlie’s going to come up in any second now.
1451
00:50:03,847 –> 00:50:07,767
I did a did a show in New York with Stephen A was there.
1452
00:50:07,767 –> 00:50:08,967
He’s a cool fucking dude.
1453
00:50:09,047 –> 00:50:09,367
You know what?
1454
00:50:09,367 –> 00:50:10,887
I used to not like him,
1455
00:50:10,967 –> 00:50:13,007
but I hosted a panel discussion.
1456
00:50:13,207 –> 00:50:15,927
And it was him and Craig Kelcer and some other.
1457
00:50:15,927 –> 00:50:18,487
And I was a moderator and he was actually very nice.
1458
00:50:18,487 –> 00:50:20,247
I was very impressed with him because I used to think
1459
00:50:20,247 –> 00:50:21,727
he was just a I didn’t like him.
1460
00:50:21,767 –> 00:50:22,967
But after I had the opportunity to.
1461
00:50:23,007 –> 00:50:26,007
And I want to say about that whole crew,
1462
00:50:26,967 –> 00:50:31,127
We’re in the new era of populism and reconfiguration.
1463
00:50:31,527 –> 00:50:34,487
Chris had to move towards the Center for Business.
1464
00:50:34,487 –> 00:50:35,767
Tucker had to move.
1465
00:50:37,367 –> 00:50:38,247
Taibbi had to move.
1466
00:50:38,247 –> 00:50:39,127
Like everybody’s had to move.
1467
00:50:39,127 –> 00:50:39,927
I never moved.
1468
00:50:40,567 –> 00:50:41,247
I never moved.
1469
00:50:42,687 –> 00:50:44,567
I’m for working fair days wage.
1470
00:50:44,567 –> 00:50:45,927
Stay out of my bedroom.
1471
00:50:46,087 –> 00:50:46,927
Leave me alone.
1472
00:50:46,927 –> 00:50:48,167
Let me worship as I wish.
1473
00:50:48,327 –> 00:50:50,127
That’s the great promise of America.
1474
00:50:50,127 –> 00:50:50,967
And your bathroom.
1475
00:50:51,567 –> 00:50:52,207
And your bathroom.
1476
00:50:52,367 –> 00:50:52,727
And you know,
1477
00:50:52,727 –> 00:50:54,447
like, yeah,
1478
00:50:54,447 –> 00:50:56,767
yeah, don’t fuck with people in the bathroom then.
1479
00:50:56,967 –> 00:50:57,527
You know what I mean?
1480
00:50:57,767 –> 00:50:59,527
Because we’re fair and it’s common sense.
1481
00:50:59,567 –> 00:51:00,407
But I’m back to that,
1482
00:51:00,407 –> 00:51:02,967
that common sense and some logic and using your brain.
1483
00:51:03,007 –> 00:51:04,647
Look at my post today about common sense.
1484
00:51:04,927 –> 00:51:05,687
That’s really it.
1485
00:51:06,087 –> 00:51:08,607
I’m going to look at your post and look at my post
1486
00:51:08,607 –> 00:51:10,167
on the Michigan enjoyer.
1487
00:51:10,487 –> 00:51:11,287
And all of that.
1488
00:51:11,287 –> 00:51:12,447
Yeah, I told you at the beginning of the show.
1489
00:51:12,447 –> 00:51:16,207
And I just want everybody to remember that just because
1490
00:51:16,207 –> 00:51:19,087
a man’s body is busted doesn’t mean he’s less of a
1491
00:51:20,927 –> 00:51:26,207
And he’s much better of a man with a good woman or
1492
00:51:26,207 –> 00:51:28,007
a good man next to him.
1493
00:51:28,567 –> 00:51:29,207
With that,
1494
00:51:29,687 –> 00:51:30,887
have a terrific holiday.
1495
00:51:32,167 –> 00:51:32,887
See you in a couple weeks.
