00:00:00,560 –> 00:00:01,360
Rats, rats,
2
00:00:01,360 –> 00:00:01,960
rats, Mark.
3
00:00:01,960 –> 00:00:04,640
Which rat story should we do first?
4
00:00:04,640 –> 00:00:06,560
Dana Nestle or Lafayette?
5
00:00:06,560 –> 00:00:07,280
Coney Island?
6
00:00:07,280 –> 00:00:17,760
That’s an easy one.
7
00:00:19,600 –> 00:00:20,320
Now, looky here.
8
00:00:20,320 –> 00:00:22,520
If incompetence were a crime,
9
00:00:22,520 –> 00:00:25,120
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nestle would be doing
10
00:00:25,160 –> 00:00:26,400
a life sentence.
11
00:00:27,040 –> 00:00:30,160
Even renowned mob lawyer Bruce Cutler thinks so.
12
00:00:30,720 –> 00:00:31,840
Cutler, if you don’t know,
13
00:00:31,920 –> 00:00:33,440
was the attorney for John Gotti,
14
00:00:33,440 –> 00:00:36,080
the dapper down of the Gambino mafia family.
15
00:00:36,600 –> 00:00:39,920
Cutler got Gotti acquitted three different times before
16
00:00:39,920 –> 00:00:42,400
the authorities banned him from representing Gotti
17
00:00:42,640 –> 00:00:43,440
a fourth time.
18
00:00:44,160 –> 00:00:46,960
So Cutler knows something about the grime underneath
19
00:00:47,120 –> 00:00:48,240
the judicial robes.
20
00:00:49,040 –> 00:00:51,440
I called Cutler in New York to get his take on the
21
00:00:51,440 –> 00:00:53,680
shenanigans going on in Nestle’s office.
22
00:00:53,840 –> 00:00:57,200
I explained how she screwed up the Flint prosecution,
23
00:00:57,360 –> 00:00:58,800
then Larry Nasser,
24
00:00:58,960 –> 00:01:00,400
then the nursing home,
25
00:01:00,560 –> 00:01:03,040
then her interference with the criminal investigation
26
00:01:03,120 –> 00:01:05,280
into her friend and political ally.
27
00:01:06,080 –> 00:01:08,000
Looks like you need a special prosecutor up there.
28
00:01:08,000 –> 00:01:09,280
That’s what Cutler told me.
29
00:01:09,440 –> 00:01:10,720
But you’re probably not going to get one.
30
00:01:11,200 –> 00:01:12,080
Politics, right?
31
00:01:12,800 –> 00:01:15,680
The legal consigliere made an excellent point.
32
00:01:16,000 –> 00:01:16,960
Who in fact?
33
00:01:17,520 –> 00:01:21,360
Does investigate the Attorney General because the latest
34
00:01:21,360 –> 00:01:22,880
scandal involving Nestle,
35
00:01:22,960 –> 00:01:23,760
her wife,
36
00:01:23,920 –> 00:01:26,880
and yet another political ally should cost Nestle
37
00:01:26,880 –> 00:01:27,920
not only her job,
38
00:01:28,080 –> 00:01:29,360
but her law license.
39
00:01:29,520 –> 00:01:32,560
If anyone in a position of power had the fortitude
40
00:01:32,560 –> 00:01:33,520
to stand up to her,
41
00:01:33,920 –> 00:01:37,360
consider the latest case of lawfare being waged by
42
00:01:37,360 –> 00:01:38,720
the Michigan Attorney General.
43
00:01:39,360 –> 00:01:40,160
Now follow me.
44
00:01:40,680 –> 00:01:43,720
A group called Unlock Michigan was pushing a ballot
45
00:01:43,720 –> 00:01:45,120
initiative back in 2020.
46
00:01:45,680 –> 00:01:50,480
The initiative asked voters to repeal a 1945 emergency
47
00:01:50,480 –> 00:01:53,560
powers law that Governor Gretchen Whitmer used to
48
00:01:53,560 –> 00:01:57,120
seize control of Michigan during the COVID-19 pandemic.
49
00:01:57,520 –> 00:02:00,320
The state Supreme Court eventually ruled that the law
50
00:02:00,640 –> 00:02:02,480
and Whitmer’s lockdown orders,
51
00:02:02,720 –> 00:02:03,440
all of them,
52
00:02:03,920 –> 00:02:05,360
were unconstitutional.
53
00:02:05,840 –> 00:02:07,120
But that didn’t stop Nestle.
54
00:02:07,520 –> 00:02:10,480
Unlock Michigan was referred to her desk,
55
00:02:11,120 –> 00:02:13,760
got a criminal referral on her desk.
56
00:02:14,200 –> 00:02:17,680
For campaign finance violations against Unlock Michigan,
57
00:02:17,760 –> 00:02:23,600
nobody files criminal referrals for campaign contributions.
58
00:02:23,760 –> 00:02:26,160
We all know about campaign count,
59
00:02:26,240 –> 00:02:27,360
how scummy it all is.
60
00:02:27,520 –> 00:02:29,200
No one ever pays the price for that.
61
00:02:29,440 –> 00:02:34,000
Yet Unlock was accused of coordinating with a charity
62
00:02:34,080 –> 00:02:37,440
to launder dark money in order to conceal the identity
63
00:02:37,440 –> 00:02:38,160
of donors.
64
00:02:38,640 –> 00:02:39,600
Everybody does it.
65
00:02:39,920 –> 00:02:43,200
Nestle last February announced charges against two
66
00:02:43,200 –> 00:02:45,680
people affiliated with Unlock Michigan.
67
00:02:45,920 –> 00:02:46,880
Those charges,
68
00:02:46,960 –> 00:02:47,920
believe this or not,
69
00:02:48,160 –> 00:02:51,520
include multi-year felonies with the potential of
70
00:02:51,520 –> 00:02:53,200
millions of dollars in fines.
71
00:02:53,840 –> 00:02:56,440
Now, what Nestle did not tell the assembled press corps
72
00:02:56,440 –> 00:03:01,040
that day was that 10 months earlier she received another
73
00:03:01,280 –> 00:03:05,040
near exact criminal referral from the Secretary of
74
00:03:06,080 –> 00:03:10,160
That referral involved a 2020 gay rights ballot initiative
75
00:03:10,400 –> 00:03:12,400
called Fair and Equal Michigan,
76
00:03:12,520 –> 00:03:15,760
which was Co chaired by wait for it,
77
00:03:16,800 –> 00:03:18,080
Dana Nestle’s wife,
78
00:03:18,480 –> 00:03:19,680
Alana McGuire.
79
00:03:20,280 –> 00:03:22,720
And now nothing seems to have happened in that case.
80
00:03:22,880 –> 00:03:26,000
The criminal referral appears to have been buried.
81
00:03:26,320 –> 00:03:28,840
Despite the obvious conflict of interest,
82
00:03:29,040 –> 00:03:30,840
Nestle has not recused herself,
83
00:03:31,040 –> 00:03:34,320
as is required under the Michigan Rules of Professional
84
00:03:34,320 –> 00:03:36,000
Conduct for Lawyers.
85
00:03:36,640 –> 00:03:40,720
Nestle has not asked the Michigan Prosecuting Attorney’s
86
00:03:40,720 –> 00:03:42,080
Coordinating Council,
87
00:03:42,280 –> 00:03:43,440
a state agency,
88
00:03:43,600 –> 00:03:47,120
to appoint a special prosecutor to consider charges
89
00:03:47,200 –> 00:03:50,200
against the charity that was funneling money into
90
00:03:50,240 –> 00:03:51,920
fair and equal her wife.
91
00:03:53,080 –> 00:03:54,400
When you drill down into it,
92
00:03:54,400 –> 00:03:56,800
nothing about this episode is fair and equal.
93
00:03:57,120 –> 00:04:00,000
Nestle dropped the hammer on Unlock Michigan,
94
00:04:00,120 –> 00:04:03,600
which raised $2.8 million in 2020,
95
00:04:03,680 –> 00:04:05,120
according to the tax filings.
96
00:04:05,280 –> 00:04:07,920
But Nestle stands mute when it comes to her wife’s
97
00:04:07,920 –> 00:04:08,480
campaign.
98
00:04:08,880 –> 00:04:13,600
Fair and Equal Michigan raised $3.5 million in 2020.
99
00:04:14,320 –> 00:04:18,480
Nestle has ignored numerous requests for an explanation,
100
00:04:18,640 –> 00:04:19,920
and we’re entitled to it.
101
00:04:19,920 –> 00:04:22,800
In fact, we demand it and the mainstream media.
102
00:04:23,200 –> 00:04:25,520
They continue to ignore the unfolding scandal,
103
00:04:25,680 –> 00:04:27,040
as has become their custom.
104
00:04:27,840 –> 00:04:30,240
Justice is supposed to be blind,
105
00:04:30,560 –> 00:04:31,920
but under our Attorney General,
106
00:04:32,080 –> 00:04:33,520
it’s plain stupid.
107
00:04:34,240 –> 00:04:37,200
If ever there was a need for a special prosecutor,
108
00:04:37,440 –> 00:04:39,840
Nestle’s troubles would be Exhibit A.
109
00:04:40,240 –> 00:04:41,200
Don’t hold your breath,
110
00:04:41,200 –> 00:04:42,160
Cutler advised me.
111
00:04:42,320 –> 00:04:43,520
And who am I to argue?
112
00:04:43,760 –> 00:04:46,680
It’s good free advice from a guy convicted of criminal
113
00:04:46,680 –> 00:04:49,360
contempt of court and sentenced to 90 days of house
114
00:04:50,480 –> 00:04:51,120
Then again.
115
00:04:51,520 –> 00:04:53,520
There’s always the impeachment hearing route.
116
00:04:53,880 –> 00:04:55,840
Republicans hold the State House now.
117
00:04:56,720 –> 00:05:01,440
Now Nestle held the press conference nearly a year
118
00:05:01,440 –> 00:05:06,400
ago, and I was there to interpret for the hearing
119
00:05:06,400 –> 00:05:06,880
impaired.
120
00:05:06,880 –> 00:05:08,000
Let us roll that tape.
121
00:05:08,320 –> 00:05:11,120
We’re here to announce the findings of our investigation
122
00:05:11,120 –> 00:05:17,040
into alleged campaign finance violations between Unlock
123
00:05:17,040 –> 00:05:17,600
Michigan,
124
00:05:18,160 –> 00:05:20,480
Michigan Citizens for Fiscal Responsibility.
125
00:05:20,800 –> 00:05:21,520
And Michigan,
126
00:05:21,760 –> 00:05:24,040
my Michigan and here to interpret for the hearing
127
00:05:24,040 –> 00:05:25,680
impaired is Charlie La Duff.
128
00:05:26,080 –> 00:05:29,440
Unlike Michigan was a ballot question committee that
129
00:05:29,440 –> 00:05:34,480
in 2020 aimed to repeal the 1945 Emergency Powers
130
00:05:34,520 –> 00:05:37,240
of the Governor Act that Governor Whitmer used to
131
00:05:37,240 –> 00:05:39,720
extend a state of emergency during the height of the
132
00:05:39,720 –> 00:05:41,520
COVID-19 pandemic.
133
00:05:41,840 –> 00:05:44,560
That’s the one where she canceled the Constitution,
134
00:05:44,560 –> 00:05:46,800
made us all stay at home in our underpants,
135
00:05:46,800 –> 00:05:48,000
ruined our kids lives,
136
00:05:48,160 –> 00:05:51,280
killed old people in the nursing homes we were sick
137
00:05:51,280 –> 00:05:54,800
of, and her husband was floating around in his dinghy.
138
00:05:55,840 –> 00:05:59,560
Bright Sparks website boasts an expertise in compliance,
139
00:05:59,560 –> 00:06:03,520
which they define as knowing the limits and the laws.
140
00:06:04,080 –> 00:06:07,200
They also claim that they can help people and organizations
141
00:06:07,440 –> 00:06:10,720
navigate the intricacies.
142
00:06:11,920 –> 00:06:13,200
Intricacies.
143
00:06:13,200 –> 00:06:13,840
Intricacies.
144
00:06:15,920 –> 00:06:17,040
Sorry, did I get that wrong?
145
00:06:17,440 –> 00:06:17,920
Say it again.
146
00:06:18,000 –> 00:06:18,880
Intricacies.
147
00:06:19,760 –> 00:06:20,160
All right.
148
00:06:21,600 –> 00:06:25,280
We have found that both 501C34 is not only coordinated
149
00:06:25,280 –> 00:06:26,280
with Unlock Michigan,
150
00:06:26,280 –> 00:06:29,360
but we allege that Mike Shirky and Heather Lombardini.
151
00:06:29,720 –> 00:06:33,920
Blatantly solicited contributions for the Unlock Michigan
152
00:06:33,920 –> 00:06:36,720
Ballot Initiative utilizing Michigan,
153
00:06:36,720 –> 00:06:40,320
My Michigan and Michigan Citizens for Fiscal Responsibility
154
00:06:40,560 –> 00:06:43,520
in violation of the Michigan Campaign Finance Act.
155
00:06:44,160 –> 00:06:48,400
It’s called dark money and it’s ruining politics.
156
00:06:48,400 –> 00:06:51,920
In fact, my wife is accused of the very same thing.
157
00:06:52,000 –> 00:06:53,840
I even got a criminal referral,
158
00:06:53,840 –> 00:06:55,760
but I didn’t do anything about it.
159
00:06:56,000 –> 00:06:57,920
I know I screwed up Flint.
160
00:06:58,080 –> 00:07:00,320
I screwed up the nursing home Holocaust.
161
00:07:00,480 –> 00:07:02,720
I even covered up for the mayor’s girlfriend.
162
00:07:02,880 –> 00:07:03,920
But this one,
163
00:07:04,080 –> 00:07:07,280
this one I’ll see to the last dying,
164
00:07:07,280 –> 00:07:08,600
incompetent breath.
165
00:07:09,680 –> 00:07:11,840
Because they’re my political enemies.
166
00:07:12,080 –> 00:07:14,040
It doesn’t matter what the people around me.
167
00:07:14,160 –> 00:07:15,280
advising me to do.
168
00:07:15,640 –> 00:07:17,600
And where that money was coming from.
169
00:07:17,920 –> 00:07:20,480
And And I don’t I don’t say that in any way to diminish
170
00:07:20,480 –> 00:07:21,840
the great work of my team,
171
00:07:21,840 –> 00:07:23,760
just to say they’re they’re apolitical.
172
00:07:24,080 –> 00:07:25,840
They’re not out to get anybody.
173
00:07:26,640 –> 00:07:29,920
They don’t care if somebody is a Democrat or a Republican
174
00:07:29,920 –> 00:07:32,640
or an independent or nonpartisan or what have you.
175
00:07:33,120 –> 00:07:35,600
They literally just care about what is the evidence?
176
00:07:35,960 –> 00:07:36,960
What is the law?
177
00:07:37,040 –> 00:07:38,160
How does it apply?
178
00:07:38,720 –> 00:07:39,680
What are the facts?
179
00:07:41,600 –> 00:07:43,600
They’re not out to get anybody,
180
00:07:43,600 –> 00:07:44,640
but I am.
181
00:07:44,640 –> 00:07:46,640
If I had any ethics,
182
00:07:46,640 –> 00:07:49,680
I would recuse myself and refer this to a special
183
00:07:49,680 –> 00:07:50,640
prosecutor.
184
00:07:50,880 –> 00:07:52,800
But I don’t have any ethics.
185
00:07:52,800 –> 00:07:55,440
I mean, who’s going to investigate me?
186
00:07:56,960 –> 00:07:59,920
Huh Thank you and good night,
187
00:08:04,840 –> 00:08:07,080
Live from downtown Detroit.
188
00:08:07,440 –> 00:08:11,800
It’s the No Bullshit News Hour with my main man,
189
00:08:12,360 –> 00:08:18,160
Charlie Ladau and Karen Dumas.
190
00:08:18,160 –> 00:08:22,320
This is just breaking this double or bullshit,
191
00:08:22,720 –> 00:08:23,520
double or bullshit.
192
00:08:23,600 –> 00:08:24,560
Well, as we told you,
193
00:08:24,560 –> 00:08:25,840
politicians lie to you.
194
00:08:25,840 –> 00:08:27,000
The media lies to you.
195
00:08:27,000 –> 00:08:29,200
And how do you know if your investment statements are
196
00:08:29,200 –> 00:08:29,760
lying to you?
197
00:08:30,920 –> 00:08:32,360
You’re not managing your wealth.
198
00:08:32,360 –> 00:08:35,200
That’s some unseen guy working for a big bank,
199
00:08:35,200 –> 00:08:37,200
jocking some unknown algorithm.
200
00:08:37,520 –> 00:08:39,840
But he’s not making decisions based on what’s best
201
00:08:40,720 –> 00:08:43,760
He’s making decisions on what’s best for him and his
202
00:08:43,760 –> 00:08:46,000
bonus gambling with your hard earned dollars.
203
00:08:46,000 –> 00:08:46,720
Ladies and gentlemen,
204
00:08:46,880 –> 00:08:47,720

205
00:08:48,240 –> 00:08:51,840
That’s why I work with financial specialist Luke Nowacki
206
00:08:51,840 –> 00:08:53,120

He’ll tailor a financial.

209
00:08:57,360 –> 00:08:58,200

00:08:58,400 –> 00:08:59,120
college savings.
211

He’ll keep you up to date and always a phone call away.
212
00:09:01,760 –> 00:09:05,680
Let no wacky do that so you don’t have to.
213
00:09:06,120 –> 00:09:06,800
Do not worry.
214
00:09:06,800 –> 00:09:10,960
Call Luke 248-663-4748.
215
00:09:12,320 –> 00:09:13,120
Know your money,
216
00:09:13,760 –> 00:09:14,320
I like that.
217
00:09:14,320 –> 00:09:14,880
Know your money,
218
00:09:15,320 –> 00:09:16,160
I like that.
219
00:09:16,160 –> 00:09:19,480
So this this Nestle shit,
220
00:09:19,840 –> 00:09:23,280
So she’s checking all the boxes of incompetency.
221
00:09:23,840 –> 00:09:27,760
To now run for governor following her sorority sister,
222
00:09:28,720 –> 00:09:29,240
Gretchen Whitmer.
223
00:09:29,280 –> 00:09:31,280
You mean you get the bungling boob vote?
224
00:09:31,760 –> 00:09:33,560
I mean like that’s a crazy.
225
00:09:33,680 –> 00:09:34,800
But I’m going to this is another thing.
226
00:09:34,800 –> 00:09:38,400
I always when when when public officials read statements,
227
00:09:38,640 –> 00:09:41,040
you always think about the their team or their staff
228
00:09:41,040 –> 00:09:42,560
because they’re preparing the statements.
229
00:09:42,800 –> 00:09:44,880
And the fact that she could not pronounce that word
230
00:09:45,280 –> 00:09:46,560
let you know two things.
231
00:09:46,560 –> 00:09:49,120
She did not write it and she did not even read it prior
232
00:09:50,080 –> 00:09:51,360
That’s stupid to me.
233
00:09:52,560 –> 00:09:53,880
So is it is.
234
00:09:53,920 –> 00:09:55,920
And it shows you how fake all of this is.
235
00:09:56,040 –> 00:09:57,240
A lack of preparation,
236
00:09:57,360 –> 00:09:58,480
a lack of awareness.
237
00:09:58,480 –> 00:10:00,760
And you’re an you’re the attorney general and you can’t
238
00:10:00,760 –> 00:10:01,440
pronounce.
239
00:10:02,320 –> 00:10:02,960
Intricacies.
240
00:10:02,960 –> 00:10:03,520
There you go.
241
00:10:03,840 –> 00:10:04,920
You should be attorney general.
242
00:10:06,400 –> 00:10:07,120
Intricacies.
243
00:10:07,840 –> 00:10:08,800
The ins and outs.
244
00:10:09,200 –> 00:10:09,720
You know what I mean?
245
00:10:09,720 –> 00:10:10,560
That’s crazy to me.
246
00:10:10,800 –> 00:10:12,160
That is absolutely nuts.
247
00:10:12,640 –> 00:10:13,720
You know, it’s absolutely nuts.
248
00:10:13,720 –> 00:10:16,000
It’s just this just starts out with one finger.
249
00:10:16,000 –> 00:10:16,800
Freddie, right?
250
00:10:16,840 –> 00:10:18,560
The fat guy that defrauded James Craig,
251
00:10:18,560 –> 00:10:19,600
who could have been governor.
252
00:10:19,600 –> 00:10:20,400
Don’t say that word.
253
00:10:21,520 –> 00:10:22,320
Allegedly.
254
00:10:23,320 –> 00:10:24,800
It gets you in trouble.
255
00:10:25,360 –> 00:10:26,240
Fix that in post.
256
00:10:26,880 –> 00:10:28,080
We’ll ozemperize it.
257
00:10:28,280 –> 00:10:29,200
Hit the ozempic button.
258
00:10:29,760 –> 00:10:30,360
I will go with it.
259
00:10:30,640 –> 00:10:32,080
Our Corpulent calligrapher.
260
00:10:32,080 –> 00:10:32,720
How’s that?
261
00:10:34,240 –> 00:10:36,440
It just starts with that guy ripped off Craig.
262
00:10:36,440 –> 00:10:37,400
He hasn’t been to court yet.
263
00:10:37,400 –> 00:10:38,080
What gives?
264
00:10:38,240 –> 00:10:39,760
And then it goes to wait a minute.
265
00:10:41,040 –> 00:10:42,040
Fair and equal Michigan,
266
00:10:42,040 –> 00:10:43,680
which is co-chaired by Nestle’s wife,
267
00:10:43,680 –> 00:10:45,160
paid the guy 1,000,000 bucks,
268
00:10:45,320 –> 00:10:46,480
1,000,000 bucks.
269
00:10:46,640 –> 00:10:49,600
Craig didn’t even pay 1,000,000 bucks and those signatures
270
00:10:49,600 –> 00:10:51,680
got tossed and we didn’t hear anything about it.
271
00:10:52,080 –> 00:10:54,160
But everything just keeps piling up,
272
00:10:54,560 –> 00:10:55,840
What happened to the trip?
273
00:10:56,040 –> 00:10:56,880
Let’s not forget that.
274
00:10:56,880 –> 00:10:57,840
That Turks and Caicos,
275
00:10:58,080 –> 00:11:00,560
that’s a whole it just everything just blows by and
276
00:11:00,560 –> 00:11:01,760
everybody gets by with it.
277
00:11:01,760 –> 00:11:03,840
You say something nobody else does.
278
00:11:04,200 –> 00:11:05,040
And they just keep going.
279
00:11:05,200 –> 00:11:08,120
Now you see the the meat is just a hot mess,
280
00:11:08,120 –> 00:11:08,400
isn’t it,
281
00:11:08,600 –> 00:11:09,440
Do you believe that?
282
00:11:09,920 –> 00:11:12,080
Oh, yeah, you get what you pay for,
283
00:11:13,120 –> 00:11:15,800
You know, it’s funny thing you say that once they started
284
00:11:15,800 –> 00:11:17,360
putting stuff on the Internet for free,
285
00:11:17,840 –> 00:11:19,840
it started turning into you get what you pay for.
286
00:11:20,800 –> 00:11:21,440
You know what I mean?
287
00:11:21,440 –> 00:11:22,160
Cookies and kiddies,
288
00:11:22,240 –> 00:11:23,680
the subscriptions are still expensive.
289
00:11:24,000 –> 00:11:24,960
News, Free Press,
290
00:11:25,880 –> 00:11:26,480
I mean, all that.
291
00:11:26,480 –> 00:11:28,320
That’s they do have a special,
292
00:11:28,320 –> 00:11:28,720
I believe,
293
00:11:28,720 –> 00:11:30,920
like $1.00 for the first month.
294
00:11:31,600 –> 00:11:34,920
Yeah, I’m paying $20.00 a month for the news,
295
00:11:34,920 –> 00:11:36,240
$20.00 a month for the Free Press,
296
00:11:36,840 –> 00:11:39,120
$250 a year for cranes,
297
00:11:40,400 –> 00:11:42,160
$40 a month for New York Times.
298
00:11:42,480 –> 00:11:44,240
I’m gonna start a newsletter and sell it to you.
299
00:11:45,280 –> 00:11:46,520
I’d buy it just from you.
300
00:11:46,520 –> 00:11:48,880
Well, I gotta make sure we have access to stuff.
301
00:11:48,960 –> 00:11:49,920
There’s nothing in there.
302
00:11:49,920 –> 00:11:52,800
And now they’re all gonna parachute in here now,
303
00:11:53,600 –> 00:11:54,800
Start telling us what’s what.
304
00:11:54,800 –> 00:11:57,760
Now that Gary Peters dropped out and now all the guys
305
00:11:57,760 –> 00:11:58,720
are over there on their phones.
306
00:11:58,720 –> 00:12:01,280
Maybe he’s running for governor.
307
00:12:01,560 –> 00:12:02,720
They might get Tony Dungy,
308
00:12:02,720 –> 00:12:03,520
the football guy,
309
00:12:03,520 –> 00:12:05,720
to move home and run for senator.
310
00:12:05,720 –> 00:12:08,800
And it’s just garbage.
311
00:12:08,800 –> 00:12:09,520
He’s a nice guy,
312
00:12:09,560 –> 00:12:11,120
though, but he is a nice guy.
313
00:12:11,120 –> 00:12:11,640
Really nice.
314
00:12:11,640 –> 00:12:12,240
Super sweet.
315
00:12:12,280 –> 00:12:12,600
He was here.
316
00:12:12,600 –> 00:12:13,680
He was here for the Super Bowl.
317
00:12:13,960 –> 00:12:15,080
I did a panel discussion with him.
318
00:12:15,080 –> 00:12:15,880
He was a very nice guy.
319
00:12:17,480 –> 00:12:18,400
OK, I’m just saying.
320
00:12:18,400 –> 00:12:20,280
I remember Karen’s vote.
321
00:12:21,120 –> 00:12:22,240
Not necessarily,
322
00:12:22,400 –> 00:12:25,560
What are you doing?
323
00:12:25,680 –> 00:12:26,440
I tipped over the.
324
00:12:26,640 –> 00:12:28,960
I tipped over the trash can and all the newspapers
325
00:12:28,960 –> 00:12:29,280
fell out.
326
00:12:31,480 –> 00:12:32,200
They’re shit.
327
00:12:32,200 –> 00:12:32,680
I don’t know.
328
00:12:32,880 –> 00:12:35,840
OK, so we demand an answer,
329
00:12:36,080 –> 00:12:37,280
Dana Nestle.
330
00:12:37,400 –> 00:12:40,960
And I do find it interesting that you are now tweeting
331
00:12:40,960 –> 00:12:47,840
every day that you take the financial fraud of susceptible
332
00:12:47,840 –> 00:12:49,400
elders very seriously.
333
00:12:49,400 –> 00:12:50,240
It’s very interesting.
334
00:12:50,240 –> 00:12:51,200
I am saving them.
335
00:12:51,200 –> 00:12:52,000
Since when?
336
00:12:52,160 –> 00:12:53,280
Bookmarking them.
337
00:12:53,320 –> 00:12:53,840
If you know,
338
00:12:54,080 –> 00:12:55,720
wink, wink what I’m saying.
339
00:12:56,600 –> 00:12:57,680
Cause I’m not giving up.
340
00:12:57,840 –> 00:13:00,880
It used to be like the the media be all in on.
341
00:13:00,880 –> 00:13:02,240
If this was Kwame Kilpatrick,
342
00:13:02,240 –> 00:13:03,320
everybody going berserk.
343
00:13:03,320 –> 00:13:04,240
Yep, they would.
344
00:13:04,400 –> 00:13:05,920
There’s absolutely nothing.
345
00:13:06,040 –> 00:13:06,320
They would.
346
00:13:06,640 –> 00:13:09,040
Remember when I I found out like the nursing home numbers
347
00:13:09,040 –> 00:13:09,520
are fake.
348
00:13:09,920 –> 00:13:10,840
They’re at least 50%
349
00:13:11,000 –> 00:13:12,120
higher, probably 100%
350
00:13:13,640 –> 00:13:15,040
And they took all these assholes,
351
00:13:15,080 –> 00:13:16,080
all the from the media,
352
00:13:16,160 –> 00:13:17,120
put them in a room,
353
00:13:17,680 –> 00:13:18,800
denied the audit,
354
00:13:18,920 –> 00:13:19,600
an audit,
355
00:13:19,600 –> 00:13:20,320
denied it,
356
00:13:20,800 –> 00:13:22,560
and they all wrote it down without seeing the audit.
357
00:13:24,040 –> 00:13:25,440
But that’s been that’s been the MO.
358
00:13:25,680 –> 00:13:26,800
They duplicate the press,
359
00:13:26,960 –> 00:13:27,840
the press release,
360
00:13:27,840 –> 00:13:28,560
they duplicate,
361
00:13:28,640 –> 00:13:29,920
duplicate the statement.
362
00:13:30,240 –> 00:13:31,360
And there’s no questioning,
363
00:13:31,360 –> 00:13:32,200
no investigation,
364
00:13:32,200 –> 00:13:33,280
no challenging,
365
00:13:33,440 –> 00:13:34,240
no nothing.
366
00:13:34,720 –> 00:13:37,760
I mean, all the good for anymore now is Lansing insider-y
367
00:13:38,720 –> 00:13:39,360
That’s all it is,
368
00:13:39,840 –> 00:13:41,320
The politicos and.
369
00:13:41,960 –> 00:13:43,360
The political press just talked to me,
370
00:13:43,360 –> 00:13:44,720
doesn’t blow smoke up there,
371
00:13:45,040 –> 00:13:46,080
doesn’t affect us.
372
00:13:46,440 –> 00:13:50,320
But but we are as residents are at a disadvantage because
373
00:13:50,320 –> 00:13:51,680
there’s no accountability,
374
00:13:51,920 –> 00:13:53,680
there’s no accuracy in reporting,
375
00:13:54,640 –> 00:13:55,360
And so yeah,
376
00:13:55,360 –> 00:13:59,120
that that group unlock Michigan,
377
00:13:59,360 –> 00:14:01,520
that was what was Mike Shirky back in the day?
378
00:14:01,520 –> 00:14:03,680
Was he was he the Senate Majority Leader,
379
00:14:04,400 –> 00:14:05,680
He was behind that,
380
00:14:06,560 –> 00:14:10,000
And she kept mentioning his name at the press conference
381
00:14:10,040 –> 00:14:11,280
and remember what that was.
382
00:14:11,960 –> 00:14:14,800
The governor unconstitutionally took our rights.
383
00:14:14,880 –> 00:14:17,440
She suspended the Constitution and would not.
384
00:14:17,520 –> 00:14:20,080
This was going to be a forever emergency.
385
00:14:20,240 –> 00:14:23,280
It was unconstitutional because you crossed the high
386
00:14:23,280 –> 00:14:24,080
heel mafia,
387
00:14:25,200 –> 00:14:27,040
You’re going down on some obscure charges,
388
00:14:27,200 –> 00:14:29,280
some obscure shit that everybody does,
389
00:14:29,600 –> 00:14:30,440
including your wife,
390
00:14:30,480 –> 00:14:31,040
apparently,
391
00:14:31,040 –> 00:14:31,680
allegedly.
392
00:14:31,680 –> 00:14:33,280
Well, the criminal referrals there,
393
00:14:33,280 –> 00:14:34,480
so I’m free to say that.
394
00:14:34,600 –> 00:14:35,200
Where is it?
395
00:14:36,080 –> 00:14:36,720
Didn’t fit.
396
00:14:37,720 –> 00:14:39,440
Justice is supposed to be blind.
397
00:14:40,720 –> 00:14:41,600
It’s lawfare.
398
00:14:42,080 –> 00:14:43,600
Like, I’m all for it.
399
00:14:43,960 –> 00:14:44,800
Quite frankly,
400
00:14:45,160 –> 00:14:46,080
I’m all for hitting,
401
00:14:46,240 –> 00:14:46,640
you know,
402
00:14:47,120 –> 00:14:48,000
unlock Michigan.
403
00:14:48,160 –> 00:14:49,960
But I want you to hit fair and equal Michigan.
404
00:14:50,160 –> 00:14:51,040
I want it to stop.
405
00:14:51,280 –> 00:14:52,480
You have to be consistent.
406
00:14:52,480 –> 00:14:53,080
But you know,
407
00:14:53,080 –> 00:14:53,680
and if you can’t,
408
00:14:53,680 –> 00:14:56,280
she should recuse herself and ask for a special prosecutor.
409
00:14:56,280 –> 00:14:58,560
I mean, there are some times that people need to remove
410
00:14:58,560 –> 00:15:02,000
themselves from their position if objectivity is even
411
00:15:02,000 –> 00:15:02,720
questionable,
412
00:15:04,720 –> 00:15:05,840
It’s written down.
413
00:15:05,840 –> 00:15:07,280
You have to do that when you’re a lawyer.
414
00:15:07,360 –> 00:15:07,880
You should.
415
00:15:09,640 –> 00:15:12,880
Because now your law license is in jeopardy and your
416
00:15:12,880 –> 00:15:16,080
law license was in jeopardy before on the old lady
417
00:15:16,080 –> 00:15:17,920
getting built in the nursing home,
418
00:15:18,000 –> 00:15:18,960
allegedly,
419
00:15:19,080 –> 00:15:21,280
and you stepping in the middle of that investigation.
420
00:15:21,480 –> 00:15:22,640
No, that’s not alleged.
421
00:15:22,640 –> 00:15:23,600
I got the documents.
422
00:15:24,640 –> 00:15:27,800
And there was a referral made to the Attorney Grievance
423
00:15:27,800 –> 00:15:28,160
Commission.
424
00:15:28,160 –> 00:15:31,200
That’s where you hit the attorney and they won’t touch
425
00:15:31,200 –> 00:15:32,800
it because it’s political.
426
00:15:33,760 –> 00:15:34,320
But I mean,
427
00:15:34,320 –> 00:15:36,120
but the more you do and get away with,
428
00:15:36,120 –> 00:15:38,880
then the more you think you can continue to do and
429
00:15:38,880 –> 00:15:39,440
get away with.
430
00:15:52,040 –> 00:15:54,240
Are you an entrepreneur looking for a safe and socially
431
00:15:54,240 –> 00:15:55,840
responsible real estate investment?
432
00:15:56,000 –> 00:15:58,840
Consider contacting Archangel Senior Management.
433
00:15:58,960 –> 00:16:01,200
Senior Living is one of the fastest growing markets
434
00:16:01,200 –> 00:16:01,840
in America.
435
00:16:02,440 –> 00:16:07,360
And what they have lined up here is small communal
436
00:16:07,360 –> 00:16:09,120
even living for senior citizens.
437
00:16:09,960 –> 00:16:14,560
It’s the antithesis of the cold nursing home corporate
438
00:16:14,560 –> 00:16:15,360
style of living.
439
00:16:15,360 –> 00:16:19,400
You know, the one that they have a lobbyist association
440
00:16:19,400 –> 00:16:20,880
and they have a breakfast every year.
441
00:16:20,960 –> 00:16:23,680
And Dana Nessa was the keynote speaker saying,
442
00:16:23,760 –> 00:16:25,320
I know nothing happened in your nursing home.
443
00:16:25,320 –> 00:16:26,240
It’s so ridiculous.
444
00:16:26,760 –> 00:16:30,000
OK, OK, I haven’t forgot that either,
445
00:16:30,360 –> 00:16:31,440
because I actually care.
446
00:16:31,800 –> 00:16:32,960
About your parents.
447
00:16:33,920 –> 00:16:36,080
This partnership provides authentic caregivers with
448
00:16:36,080 –> 00:16:39,520
tools and training necessary to manage their own care
449
00:16:39,520 –> 00:16:41,840
homes, School of Nursing,
450
00:16:42,880 –> 00:16:46,080
a home-based assisted living franchise system,
451
00:16:46,240 –> 00:16:47,120
the investor,
452
00:16:47,280 –> 00:16:50,080
the home altogether,
453
00:16:50,720 –> 00:16:52,080
and a sustainable,
454
00:16:52,080 –> 00:16:57,680
clean, lovely business to make profit a nice way.
455
00:16:58,840 –> 00:16:59,600
The cares genuine,
456
00:16:59,600 –> 00:17:02,000
the owners are local and Archangel has Overwatch.
457
00:17:02,000 –> 00:17:04,400
If interested in this trailblazing opportunity,
458
00:17:04,560 –> 00:17:10,960
contact Archangel at 989-614-0416 please.
459
00:17:10,960 –> 00:17:12,120
So Charlie,
460
00:17:17,760 –> 00:17:18,800
I smell a rat.
461
00:17:22,880 –> 00:17:23,600
Grace Carrows.
462
00:17:23,600 –> 00:17:26,320
Hi, American Coney Island is it?
463
00:17:28,280 –> 00:17:29,840
Is that you got rats here?
464
00:17:30,720 –> 00:17:31,520
I don’t have any.
465
00:17:32,800 –> 00:17:34,240
I mean, not the four-legged guy.
466
00:17:39,920 –> 00:17:40,800
Unfortunately,
467
00:17:40,800 –> 00:17:42,000
my bad neighbors do,
468
00:17:42,640 –> 00:17:45,040
and every so often one may sneak through.
469
00:17:45,040 –> 00:17:46,720
I mean, I can only be on the defense so much.
470
00:17:47,502 –> 00:17:48,622
And once and for all,
471
00:17:48,702 –> 00:17:51,502
people need to understand we are not one of the same.
472
00:17:51,582 –> 00:17:53,022
We are not the same family.
473
00:17:53,022 –> 00:17:53,902
I own a broom.
474
00:17:53,902 –> 00:17:55,022
I own a trash can.
475
00:17:56,022 –> 00:17:58,542
And we actually fill holes and cracks because buildings
476
00:17:58,542 –> 00:18:01,342
are old and I care about the safety and well-being
477
00:18:01,942 –> 00:18:04,222
of my staff and my customers.
478
00:18:04,862 –> 00:18:05,822
That’s community.
479
00:18:05,982 –> 00:18:08,462
And there’s a lot of naysayers out there and a lot
480
00:18:08,462 –> 00:18:09,182
of haters.
481
00:18:09,502 –> 00:18:10,382
And that’s fine.
482
00:18:10,382 –> 00:18:10,942
You can hate,
483
00:18:10,942 –> 00:18:12,862
but the facts are the facts.
484
00:18:13,102 –> 00:18:14,062
They are closed.
485
00:18:14,462 –> 00:18:15,342
I am open.
486
00:18:16,062 –> 00:18:18,942
The health department reports are there for everybody
487
00:18:20,542 –> 00:18:23,102
Now, if you want to make it political or if you want
488
00:18:23,102 –> 00:18:23,822
to make it about,
489
00:18:23,822 –> 00:18:25,182
hey, she needs a facelift.
490
00:18:25,502 –> 00:18:26,542
Whoever, actually,
491
00:18:27,422 –> 00:18:28,222
But I love that one.
492
00:18:28,222 –> 00:18:28,862
Cause you know what?
493
00:18:29,102 –> 00:18:30,342
Our governor looks great.
494
00:18:30,342 –> 00:18:32,222
And if someone can get me the name of her doctor,
495
00:18:32,422 –> 00:18:33,342
I’ll be on it in a minute.
496
00:18:33,422 –> 00:18:34,542
No, you will not.
497
00:18:34,702 –> 00:18:35,862
No, she does not.
498
00:18:36,142 –> 00:18:37,302
So somebody get that for me.
499
00:18:37,302 –> 00:18:38,302
You know who you are.
500
00:18:38,462 –> 00:18:39,422
You don’t need a facelift,
501
00:18:39,862 –> 00:18:40,782
But let me say this.
502
00:18:41,182 –> 00:18:44,782
I am a very picky consumer.
503
00:18:45,982 –> 00:18:46,662
I mean, I just,
504
00:18:47,582 –> 00:18:49,902
And I just happened to say this to you a couple weeks
505
00:18:50,462 –> 00:18:51,582
I was downstairs,
506
00:18:51,702 –> 00:18:55,142
I was having lunch after the show and I usually,
507
00:18:55,142 –> 00:18:57,502
if I’m in a Coney Island or family style restaurant
508
00:18:57,502 –> 00:18:57,982
or something,
509
00:18:57,982 –> 00:19:00,942
I take a napkin and I’d use it for the ketchup or
510
00:19:00,942 –> 00:19:01,422
the mustard.
511
00:19:01,542 –> 00:19:02,382
And when I looked,
512
00:19:02,382 –> 00:19:04,622
I said this is clean.
513
00:19:05,102 –> 00:19:07,782
Then I start and I looked at the napkin dispenser and
514
00:19:07,782 –> 00:19:08,782
I said this is clean.
515
00:19:09,022 –> 00:19:11,462
Now I’ve already noticed just being in there when you
516
00:19:11,462 –> 00:19:13,422
look up and I do this everywhere.
517
00:19:13,662 –> 00:19:14,622
Look at the air vents.
518
00:19:16,062 –> 00:19:17,342
And I’m glad you noticed.
519
00:19:17,342 –> 00:19:18,702
No, I you clean up.
520
00:19:19,182 –> 00:19:20,502
I mean, but people don’t understand.
521
00:19:20,502 –> 00:19:22,462
You can have a mop floor anywhere,
522
00:19:22,942 –> 00:19:24,182
but the restrooms are clean.
523
00:19:24,182 –> 00:19:26,142
I mean, Kirby was just talking about that this morning.
524
00:19:26,622 –> 00:19:29,582
I think they even clean the the hoses for the pop,
525
00:19:29,742 –> 00:19:29,982
she said.
526
00:19:29,982 –> 00:19:31,142
Because they have the best pop.
527
00:19:32,062 –> 00:19:34,622
But people don’t understand those little things make
528
00:19:34,622 –> 00:19:35,142
a difference.
529
00:19:35,142 –> 00:19:38,462
So you can be in a higher end restaurant and it can
530
00:19:38,462 –> 00:19:39,262
still be dirty.
531
00:19:39,742 –> 00:19:40,982
American Coney Island.
532
00:19:41,022 –> 00:19:42,702
And I posted a picture about a month ago,
533
00:19:42,862 –> 00:19:44,822
my gourmet lunch because I was enjoying it.
534
00:19:45,742 –> 00:19:46,302
It’s clean.
535
00:19:46,302 –> 00:19:47,342
Some people don’t care.
536
00:19:47,742 –> 00:19:49,462
Well, I do because I wouldn’t.
537
00:19:49,462 –> 00:19:50,862
I’d go right out and I would.
538
00:19:51,422 –> 00:19:53,742
And that’s fine if you do you,
539
00:19:54,622 –> 00:19:57,102
And some people don’t care when someone sticks up for
540
00:19:57,102 –> 00:19:57,822
their business,
541
00:19:58,062 –> 00:20:00,302
their reputation and their family name.
542
00:20:00,862 –> 00:20:02,542
That’s what the spirit of Detroit is.
543
00:20:02,702 –> 00:20:04,062
That’s what we do.
544
00:20:04,222 –> 00:20:06,182
If you don’t stick up for yourself and your business
545
00:20:06,182 –> 00:20:07,742
when you know you’re not in the wrong,
546
00:20:07,982 –> 00:20:08,942
then you have a problem.
547
00:20:09,222 –> 00:20:10,782
When did you come up with the idea?
548
00:20:12,142 –> 00:20:14,302
I know when I know when you came up with the idea,
549
00:20:14,302 –> 00:20:15,182
like, OK,
550
00:20:15,182 –> 00:20:20,582
so she’s got a victory burger in Vegas in the brand
551
00:20:20,582 –> 00:20:23,982
new sparkling casino hotel circa.
552
00:20:24,222 –> 00:20:28,542
Yeah, the owners of the D and you have the pool concession.
553
00:20:28,542 –> 00:20:29,102
They have the pool.
554
00:20:29,102 –> 00:20:30,702
We got the Coney up the street.
555
00:20:31,102 –> 00:20:31,742
So I mean,
556
00:20:31,902 –> 00:20:33,102
my brother and I,
557
00:20:33,102 –> 00:20:34,782
yeah, nationwide business one,
558
00:20:34,782 –> 00:20:35,582
very successful.
559
00:20:36,062 –> 00:20:37,982
And she’s going down the elevator.
560
00:20:37,982 –> 00:20:41,662
She’s in Vegas with President Trump in the elevator.
561
00:20:43,102 –> 00:20:44,542
And she’s looking at showtime.
562
00:20:44,542 –> 00:20:44,902
It showed.
563
00:20:44,902 –> 00:20:45,462
Look at this guy.
564
00:20:45,462 –> 00:20:46,302
And she goes,
565
00:20:46,302 –> 00:20:47,302
I’m holding the press conference.
566
00:20:47,422 –> 00:20:48,222
Is that how that work?
567
00:20:49,102 –> 00:20:49,742
Well, you know,
568
00:20:49,822 –> 00:20:51,902
things were bothering me and I didn’t want,
569
00:20:52,142 –> 00:20:54,062
I don’t associate my name.
570
00:20:54,062 –> 00:20:56,542
We are not one of the same American and Lafayette.
571
00:20:57,022 –> 00:20:59,022
And so it got to the point where,
572
00:20:59,022 –> 00:20:59,622
yeah, I’m like,
573
00:20:59,622 –> 00:21:00,062
you know what,
574
00:21:00,062 –> 00:21:02,222
I’m, I’m calling this press conference and let’s set
575
00:21:02,222 –> 00:21:02,862
the record straight.
576
00:21:02,862 –> 00:21:04,222
We are not the same family.
577
00:21:04,302 –> 00:21:06,782
We do not serve the same food and I’m not shut down
578
00:21:06,782 –> 00:21:07,262
for rats.
579
00:21:07,262 –> 00:21:08,062
That’s pretty much it.
580
00:21:08,222 –> 00:21:11,182
But you should there should all always be clarity and
581
00:21:11,182 –> 00:21:13,022
communication from a business perspective.
582
00:21:13,982 –> 00:21:14,782
And people,
583
00:21:15,462 –> 00:21:18,062
whether they said anything or not because the the
584
00:21:18,062 –> 00:21:20,222
build, the businesses are next door to each other.
585
00:21:20,462 –> 00:21:23,142
It would be a natural question to wonder what’s the
586
00:21:23,142 –> 00:21:24,422
status of the one next door.
587
00:21:24,422 –> 00:21:24,782
Absolutely.
588
00:21:24,782 –> 00:21:26,862
So you answer back and you and you took you.
589
00:21:26,982 –> 00:21:28,462
Assumed a proactive approach,
590
00:21:28,742 –> 00:21:31,222
which is a responsible position to assume.
591
00:21:31,262 –> 00:21:33,302
Everybody can’t be lumped into the same thing.
592
00:21:33,302 –> 00:21:34,622
And those those are.
593
00:21:34,622 –> 00:21:35,422
That’s just ignorant.
594
00:21:36,262 –> 00:21:37,182
And that’s pretty much all.
595
00:21:37,182 –> 00:21:38,222
So who eats here?
596
00:21:38,702 –> 00:21:39,582
Queen of England.
597
00:21:41,502 –> 00:21:42,422
And what was Philip?
598
00:21:42,422 –> 00:21:43,022
Was that his name?
599
00:21:43,982 –> 00:21:45,462
Got arrested.
600
00:21:45,942 –> 00:21:46,942
What a consort.
601
00:21:47,382 –> 00:21:48,582
The guy just he just pulled it off.
602
00:21:48,582 –> 00:21:49,582
He was born for that.
603
00:21:50,062 –> 00:21:50,702
Greek too.
604
00:21:51,342 –> 00:21:51,742
Yes, he was.
605
00:21:51,742 –> 00:21:52,382
Yes, he was.
606
00:21:52,702 –> 00:21:53,422
Bill Bonds.
607
00:21:54,022 –> 00:21:54,462
Coleman Young,
608
00:21:54,702 –> 00:21:55,662
Carol Channing.
609
00:21:55,862 –> 00:21:56,862
Those are all the old timers.
610
00:21:57,342 –> 00:21:59,182
Delivering to Trump’s playing.
611
00:21:59,182 –> 00:21:59,982
Clinton’s playing.
612
00:21:59,982 –> 00:22:00,622
Come on now.
613
00:22:01,982 –> 00:22:02,542
Everybody.
614
00:22:02,542 –> 00:22:03,502
Here’s what’s going on.
615
00:22:03,662 –> 00:22:04,422
Stay off of social.
616
00:22:04,422 –> 00:22:05,142
I’m sorry.
617
00:22:05,262 –> 00:22:07,862
I don’t care if you’re a hater or whatever you’re going
618
00:22:08,542 –> 00:22:09,542
I’m going to tell you something.
619
00:22:09,982 –> 00:22:13,502
I started working here in 18 when I left Fox too,
620
00:22:13,702 –> 00:22:14,142
because I just,
621
00:22:14,542 –> 00:22:15,902
I knew it was going to go down the tubes.
622
00:22:15,902 –> 00:22:17,862
That thing’s so down the tubes watching this whole
623
00:22:18,862 –> 00:22:20,222
And I didn’t have any healthcare.
624
00:22:20,662 –> 00:22:20,942
I was like,
625
00:22:20,942 –> 00:22:21,622
Oh my God,
626
00:22:21,622 –> 00:22:22,382
it’s the first time I.
627
00:22:23,302 –> 00:22:25,182
I didn’t think about it because you get a job,
628
00:22:25,182 –> 00:22:27,262
you get healthcare and it was kind of immature.
629
00:22:27,262 –> 00:22:29,422
But and I came to her and I go,
630
00:22:29,582 –> 00:22:30,342
do you have any work?
631
00:22:30,342 –> 00:22:30,942
Do you have healthcare?
632
00:22:30,942 –> 00:22:31,342
She goes, yeah,
633
00:22:31,342 –> 00:22:32,782
we have, we have company plan.
634
00:22:32,782 –> 00:22:33,262
I go, wow.
635
00:22:33,262 –> 00:22:34,782
I had to call me wow.
636
00:22:35,422 –> 00:22:36,222
Do you have any work?
637
00:22:36,222 –> 00:22:36,702
And she goes,
638
00:22:36,862 –> 00:22:39,902
you can start by fixing the tiles under the fryer
639
00:22:40,142 –> 00:22:41,182
and there it went.
640
00:22:41,262 –> 00:22:43,102
So I do the walls,
641
00:22:43,502 –> 00:22:44,022
I do the.
642
00:22:44,822 –> 00:22:46,022
And the window next door,
643
00:22:46,022 –> 00:22:47,702
they had a tree growing in the roof and I’m like,
644
00:22:47,702 –> 00:22:49,982
dude, it’s raining and it’s getting in here.
645
00:22:50,142 –> 00:22:51,262
Let me get you a roofer.
646
00:22:51,502 –> 00:22:53,822
Let me go in there and patch your floor for you.
647
00:22:53,902 –> 00:22:55,662
Let me unclog your ice machine.
648
00:22:57,342 –> 00:22:58,302
Yes, I’m affiliated here,
649
00:22:58,302 –> 00:22:59,022
but I’m a reporter.
650
00:22:59,022 –> 00:23:00,942
Nobody knows this like I know this.
651
00:23:01,102 –> 00:23:02,222
Nobody knows.
652
00:23:02,382 –> 00:23:04,782
You have no conception what’s going on down here.
653
00:23:04,942 –> 00:23:07,582
I will tell you this morning,
654
00:23:07,742 –> 00:23:10,622
the stock that was delivered last Monday.
655
00:23:11,222 –> 00:23:13,982
Was put back on the truck of the distributor.
656
00:23:14,302 –> 00:23:16,462
Somebody is going to eat that.
657
00:23:16,862 –> 00:23:18,062
Distinguish where though?
658
00:23:18,062 –> 00:23:18,582
I’m not going.
659
00:23:18,622 –> 00:23:19,862
I’m not saying your name.
660
00:23:20,062 –> 00:23:22,142
Somebody is going to eat that.
661
00:23:24,302 –> 00:23:25,262
Why would they take it back?
662
00:23:25,262 –> 00:23:25,622
Throw it away.
663
00:23:25,622 –> 00:23:26,102
They throw it away.
664
00:23:26,302 –> 00:23:27,902
OK, well, I just know this.
665
00:23:28,382 –> 00:23:32,302
The chili here is made by the company owned by you
666
00:23:32,702 –> 00:23:33,742
only for this place.
667
00:23:34,062 –> 00:23:36,702
And the hot dog is made only for this place.
668
00:23:36,702 –> 00:23:37,822
It’s a special recipe,
669
00:23:40,102 –> 00:23:41,182
Here’s you in the Coney words.
670
00:23:41,182 –> 00:23:42,062
Tell me if I’m wrong here.
671
00:23:43,422 –> 00:23:45,302
We all have a route in Detroit somehow,
672
00:23:46,342 –> 00:23:47,902
Grandpa, you know,
673
00:23:48,302 –> 00:23:49,422
great-grandma.
674
00:23:49,582 –> 00:23:50,822
I was born in a hustle,
675
00:23:50,822 –> 00:23:51,302
whatever,
676
00:23:51,742 –> 00:23:55,822
And most people left used to be a city of 2 million,
677
00:23:55,822 –> 00:23:56,942
it’s 600,000.
678
00:23:57,102 –> 00:23:58,462
So you don’t have a route in Detroit.
679
00:23:58,782 –> 00:24:01,902
So the fact of the matter is the most violent and virulent
680
00:24:01,942 –> 00:24:04,222
of you, you don’t have a route to the city.
681
00:24:04,302 –> 00:24:05,742
So de facto,
682
00:24:06,382 –> 00:24:07,902
what you do is when people come into town,
683
00:24:08,062 –> 00:24:09,742
let me show you the mess Cody Island.
684
00:24:10,302 –> 00:24:10,742
In Detroit.
685
00:24:10,742 –> 00:24:11,942
Let me let me just show it to you,
686
00:24:12,182 –> 00:24:13,342
And you have no conception.
687
00:24:13,582 –> 00:24:16,222
So this becomes your Detroit.
688
00:24:16,222 –> 00:24:18,062
But you look silly today.
689
00:24:18,382 –> 00:24:22,782
You look absolutely silly because when the health department
690
00:24:22,782 –> 00:24:26,302
in a landmark business shuts it down for rat shit,
691
00:24:26,422 –> 00:24:27,982
which carries trichinosis,
692
00:24:30,062 –> 00:24:32,062
lepto spirosis 2 times.
693
00:24:32,662 –> 00:24:34,142
That’s disgusting.
694
00:24:34,142 –> 00:24:36,102
So I guess I’m mad because those guys down there when
695
00:24:36,102 –> 00:24:37,102
their windows crack.
696
00:24:37,782 –> 00:24:39,622
I crazy glue it for them so they don’t put their hand
697
00:24:39,622 –> 00:24:39,862
through it.
698
00:24:40,142 –> 00:24:41,822
They don’t have Windex,
699
00:24:42,582 –> 00:24:43,422
They don’t have grease.
700
00:24:44,142 –> 00:24:45,262
I mean, I’m just saying,
701
00:24:45,542 –> 00:24:46,542
OK, I understand that,
702
00:24:46,542 –> 00:24:46,742
you know,
703
00:24:46,942 –> 00:24:51,342
but but if you there are certain things that you have
704
00:24:51,342 –> 00:24:53,982
to do and have to have and have to execute in in the
705
00:24:54,142 –> 00:24:55,742
just basics in a business.
706
00:24:56,142 –> 00:24:58,302
So how does that?
707
00:24:59,262 –> 00:25:00,262
I’m let’s not.
708
00:25:00,382 –> 00:25:02,542
Let’s just let’s just there’s a hole.
709
00:25:02,542 –> 00:25:03,342
You plug it.
710
00:25:03,342 –> 00:25:05,302
Yeah, it’s there’s basic protocols.
711
00:25:05,342 –> 00:25:06,422
That’s what I’m saying.
712
00:25:06,862 –> 00:25:09,902
So why are they if a raccoon gets into your attic,
713
00:25:10,782 –> 00:25:13,902
you shoo the raccoon out and then you seal the attic.
714
00:25:14,062 –> 00:25:16,302
You don’t leave the hole open and store your garbage
715
00:25:16,302 –> 00:25:16,702
up there.
716
00:25:16,822 –> 00:25:18,622
I mean, it’s not rocket science.
717
00:25:19,742 –> 00:25:20,582
Hydraulic cement.
718
00:25:21,502 –> 00:25:22,062
This, this.
719
00:25:22,542 –> 00:25:23,582
You guys see this building?
720
00:25:24,182 –> 00:25:25,302
Those of you watching,
721
00:25:25,302 –> 00:25:25,902
not listening.
722
00:25:26,742 –> 00:25:28,822
This, this thing’s from like 1850.
723
00:25:29,022 –> 00:25:31,742
They in fact saw the top two floors off of this.
724
00:25:32,302 –> 00:25:33,902
Down here you got the glass and steel.
725
00:25:33,902 –> 00:25:35,182
That’s the 21st century.
726
00:25:35,342 –> 00:25:36,942
Then you’ve got the sandstone columns.
727
00:25:37,102 –> 00:25:38,382
That’s the 20th century.
728
00:25:38,542 –> 00:25:42,142
This is what’s left of the 1800s in the buggies.
729
00:25:42,302 –> 00:25:43,902
It’s a wonderful building,
730
00:25:44,942 –> 00:25:46,542
I like those guys over there.
731
00:25:46,702 –> 00:25:48,702
But when you start putting out press releases like
732
00:25:49,022 –> 00:25:49,862
I set you up,
733
00:25:49,862 –> 00:25:50,542
motherfucker.
734
00:25:50,702 –> 00:25:51,822
Yeah, like it was a set up.
735
00:25:51,822 –> 00:25:52,742
Like I was walking around,
736
00:25:52,742 –> 00:25:53,902
snuck in there and threw rats.
737
00:25:53,982 –> 00:25:56,462
Not, but you also have to spend money.
738
00:25:56,862 –> 00:25:58,062
Thousands of dollars.
739
00:25:58,062 –> 00:25:58,782
Not hundreds.
740
00:25:58,862 –> 00:26:00,942
Thousands and thousands of dollars.
741
00:26:01,862 –> 00:26:05,342
I was laughing because every time I come down here,
742
00:26:05,822 –> 00:26:08,742
I have to battle with the Orkin man for parking space
743
00:26:09,342 –> 00:26:10,062
and he’s in.
744
00:26:10,062 –> 00:26:10,862
He’s in here.
745
00:26:11,262 –> 00:26:11,902
And so, well,
746
00:26:11,902 –> 00:26:13,502
you have to pay for service once.
747
00:26:13,502 –> 00:26:14,822
You have to pay for trash once.
748
00:26:14,942 –> 00:26:15,582
It’s what you do.
749
00:26:15,862 –> 00:26:17,502
You put it in your car and drive it away.
750
00:26:17,502 –> 00:26:20,262
But Mark and I were laughing about that because he’s
751
00:26:20,262 –> 00:26:22,622
here on a regular basis and you know,
752
00:26:23,502 –> 00:26:24,702
That’s something that you have to do.
753
00:26:24,862 –> 00:26:26,462
That’s that’s part of that’s maintenance.
754
00:26:26,462 –> 00:26:27,622
For those listening now watching,
755
00:26:27,982 –> 00:26:29,102
that’s the Orkin man.
756
00:26:29,182 –> 00:26:30,622
That’s my parking stealer.
757
00:26:31,262 –> 00:26:32,542
You have to maintain.
758
00:26:32,542 –> 00:26:34,142
You have to take care of things.
759
00:26:34,542 –> 00:26:37,022
And that’s pretty it’s you want to like that one more
760
00:26:37,022 –> 00:26:37,582
and be a fan.
761
00:26:37,582 –> 00:26:38,382
Go for it.
762
00:26:38,622 –> 00:26:40,222
I’m not here to hurt anyone’s business,
763
00:26:41,062 –> 00:26:43,342
What’s happening to them is hurting mine.
764
00:26:43,742 –> 00:26:44,782
So enough is enough.
765
00:26:44,782 –> 00:26:46,782
And This is why we’re talking about it.
766
00:26:47,142 –> 00:26:49,262
How many more times you can’t learn your lesson the
767
00:26:49,262 –> 00:26:50,702
first time you’re going to learn it the second.
768
00:26:50,702 –> 00:26:51,302
I doubt it.
769
00:26:51,302 –> 00:26:53,262
Well, I was surprised that people,
770
00:26:53,542 –> 00:26:55,262
as soon as they open back up the last time,
771
00:26:55,262 –> 00:26:55,942
people were in there.
772
00:26:55,942 –> 00:26:56,542
And that’s great.
773
00:26:57,302 –> 00:26:57,822
And that’s fine.
774
00:26:58,062 –> 00:26:58,742
I was surprised.
775
00:26:58,742 –> 00:27:01,582
I just I’m my comfort level one dipshit from the local
776
00:27:01,582 –> 00:27:02,302
news, right?
777
00:27:03,822 –> 00:27:06,462
Well, Americans are not without its sins.
778
00:27:06,862 –> 00:27:09,182
I pulled up the last five years of the health inspections.
779
00:27:09,582 –> 00:27:12,982
Oh, was there one for the ice shovel was left in the
780
00:27:14,222 –> 00:27:15,902
Oh, was the Those are my violations.
781
00:27:15,902 –> 00:27:17,662
Was the pie cooler 2 degrees?
782
00:27:18,542 –> 00:27:19,822
Was it 42 and not 40?
783
00:27:19,822 –> 00:27:21,742
Because it was lunch rush and it was opening and closing
784
00:27:21,742 –> 00:27:24,542
with the delicious lemon meringue,
785
00:27:25,662 –> 00:27:27,742
strawberry cheesecake and my favorite,
786
00:27:27,742 –> 00:27:28,542
the coconut cream.
787
00:27:28,862 –> 00:27:29,582
Could that have been it?
788
00:27:31,742 –> 00:27:33,222
Not rats, you dipshit.
789
00:27:33,222 –> 00:27:34,662
What kind of reporting is this?
790
00:27:34,862 –> 00:27:36,942
Look, I I Googled something.
791
00:27:38,942 –> 00:27:40,142
So I I know what it’s about.
792
00:27:40,622 –> 00:27:41,582
I know what it’s about.
793
00:27:41,982 –> 00:27:44,582
You don’t have a root and this is it.
794
00:27:44,582 –> 00:27:45,462
And you’re going to stick by it.
795
00:27:45,462 –> 00:27:47,982
And now you look dumb because your cousin’s calling
796
00:27:47,982 –> 00:27:49,942
you from from Peoria.
797
00:27:49,942 –> 00:27:51,702
I don’t know if somebody walked in,
798
00:27:51,702 –> 00:27:52,302
know who that is.
799
00:27:52,302 –> 00:27:52,982
How you doing?
800
00:27:53,502 –> 00:27:55,182
Somebody calls him from Peoria and goes,
801
00:27:55,182 –> 00:27:55,702
hey, Bobby,
802
00:27:55,702 –> 00:27:57,182
you took me to the rat then,
803
00:27:58,262 –> 00:27:59,742
Yeah, exactly.
804
00:27:59,982 –> 00:28:00,942
So I guess you had to,
805
00:28:00,942 –> 00:28:02,262
you had to defend your business.
806
00:28:02,262 –> 00:28:03,022
That’s why you did that.
807
00:28:03,222 –> 00:28:04,782
Of course you’re going to defend your business and
808
00:28:04,782 –> 00:28:06,902
your grandfather’s name and your father’s name when
809
00:28:06,902 –> 00:28:07,982
it comes right down to it.
810
00:28:08,302 –> 00:28:11,502
And don’t be talking false and fake stuff that I hate.
811
00:28:12,142 –> 00:28:12,942
Am I perfect?
812
00:28:12,942 –> 00:28:13,982
Absolutely not.
813
00:28:14,142 –> 00:28:15,422
Will one slip through here?
814
00:28:15,422 –> 00:28:16,702
That’s why when I talked,
815
00:28:16,702 –> 00:28:18,942
I said I’m constantly on the defense,
816
00:28:18,942 –> 00:28:21,742
having to worry about what they’re doing next door.
817
00:28:21,982 –> 00:28:22,702
And you are right.
818
00:28:22,702 –> 00:28:23,902
We’ve tried to help them.
819
00:28:23,902 –> 00:28:25,022
We’ve tried to give advice.
820
00:28:25,262 –> 00:28:26,782
We’ve offered them repair people,
821
00:28:26,782 –> 00:28:27,662
service people.
822
00:28:27,822 –> 00:28:29,982
They’ve been riding my coattails enough.
823
00:28:30,702 –> 00:28:33,782
Get your shit together or get the fuck out today.
824
00:28:33,782 –> 00:28:34,782
They took all this shit,
825
00:28:34,942 –> 00:28:35,822
threw it in some buckets,
826
00:28:35,822 –> 00:28:37,262
put them on a kid’s wagon.
827
00:28:37,742 –> 00:28:39,142
And hauled it across Michigan Ave.
828
00:28:39,142 –> 00:28:41,502
and are dumping it in the hotel’s dumpster because
829
00:28:41,502 –> 00:28:42,622
they don’t have trash cans.
830
00:28:42,622 –> 00:28:43,542
They don’t have pickups.
831
00:28:43,542 –> 00:28:45,102
Or if you really want to know.
832
00:28:45,262 –> 00:28:45,822
Hey, go, go ahead.
833
00:28:45,862 –> 00:28:47,022
You guys go ahead right there.
834
00:28:47,022 –> 00:28:47,822
Yeah, you can put it there,
835
00:28:50,062 –> 00:28:51,342
I like those guys.
836
00:28:51,582 –> 00:28:52,782
Not so much today,
837
00:28:53,982 –> 00:28:55,342
but I saved their roof.
838
00:28:55,582 –> 00:28:56,942
I saved your fucking roof,
839
00:28:56,942 –> 00:28:58,062
you morons.
840
00:28:58,622 –> 00:28:59,502
You moron.
841
00:28:59,582 –> 00:29:00,462
You’re going to do that?
842
00:29:00,622 –> 00:29:01,662
Just oh, guess what?
843
00:29:01,742 –> 00:29:03,582
Everybody come down Sunday at 2:30.
844
00:29:04,222 –> 00:29:04,622
Guess what?
845
00:29:05,182 –> 00:29:06,222
Breaking news.
846
00:29:07,022 –> 00:29:10,782
There’s a Black Panther rally against Lafayette for
847
00:29:10,782 –> 00:29:13,982
serving rat infested shit to the community.
848
00:29:13,982 –> 00:29:15,462
We got Panthers coming.
849
00:29:15,742 –> 00:29:16,942
This is great.
850
00:29:17,262 –> 00:29:18,262
It’s so Detroit,
851
00:29:18,662 –> 00:29:20,382
A lot of people.
852
00:29:20,942 –> 00:29:23,102
And they’ll probably stop in for lunch because when
853
00:29:23,102 –> 00:29:26,862
you want to get those revolutionary juices going in,
854
00:29:26,862 –> 00:29:29,142
man, I suggest a nice gear out.
855
00:29:30,502 –> 00:29:34,702
I mean, I’m just telling you just as it from my perspective.
856
00:29:34,782 –> 00:29:35,902
I mean, I know Grace.
857
00:29:35,942 –> 00:29:36,582
I love Grace.
858
00:29:36,582 –> 00:29:37,662
She’s an excellent person.
859
00:29:37,662 –> 00:29:38,862
She’s always been there.
860
00:29:39,062 –> 00:29:40,222
When the community calls,
861
00:29:40,222 –> 00:29:40,942
you respond.
862
00:29:40,942 –> 00:29:42,302
I mean, from years ago,
863
00:29:42,302 –> 00:29:43,742
long before we started doing them.
864
00:29:43,982 –> 00:29:45,102
Grace has always been there.
865
00:29:45,342 –> 00:29:47,502
But I’m just telling you from my perspective,
866
00:29:47,542 –> 00:29:48,382
when I go somewhere,
867
00:29:48,382 –> 00:29:49,422
I am paying attention.
868
00:29:49,742 –> 00:29:51,182
I watched when I’ve seen,
869
00:29:51,182 –> 00:29:51,822
you know,
870
00:29:51,822 –> 00:29:54,222
a wait staff bend down and tie their shoe and then
871
00:29:54,222 –> 00:29:55,102
walk back and like,
872
00:29:55,102 –> 00:29:56,662
no, go wash your hands,
873
00:29:56,902 –> 00:29:58,422
whether it’s a fast food restaurant,
874
00:29:58,422 –> 00:30:00,342
whether it’s a white tablecloth restaurant.
875
00:30:00,542 –> 00:30:02,422
You know, I remember when they had the everybody had
876
00:30:02,422 –> 00:30:03,262
to wear a mask.
877
00:30:03,502 –> 00:30:05,262
I didn’t want to eat because the people were sweating.
878
00:30:05,262 –> 00:30:07,262
So are you dropping sweat into my food?
879
00:30:07,622 –> 00:30:09,822
I don’t like when people approach me when I’m eating
880
00:30:09,862 –> 00:30:10,662
and they’re talking.
881
00:30:11,262 –> 00:30:12,302
So I’m very conscious.
882
00:30:12,302 –> 00:30:14,342
You know, you’re not required to wear gloves when you
883
00:30:14,342 –> 00:30:14,982
work in a restaurant.
884
00:30:15,302 –> 00:30:16,302
Your hands just have to be washed.
885
00:30:16,302 –> 00:30:17,422
But that’s the health department.
886
00:30:17,422 –> 00:30:18,302
But here you do.
887
00:30:18,782 –> 00:30:20,342
Yep, here you do.
888
00:30:20,342 –> 00:30:20,982
This place is good.
889
00:30:21,102 –> 00:30:23,462
You know, when I first started and she said get down
890
00:30:23,462 –> 00:30:24,262
and fix the tile,
891
00:30:24,862 –> 00:30:25,342
I would sit.
892
00:30:25,462 –> 00:30:27,742
I sit in the chair while I come in on my day,
893
00:30:29,062 –> 00:30:30,222
And I sit and I look,
894
00:30:30,782 –> 00:30:32,542
I sit like where a customer would sit.
895
00:30:33,182 –> 00:30:37,342
And I look around like under the sink or in the corner
896
00:30:37,342 –> 00:30:40,702
at the tile or at the footing of the tables or there’s
897
00:30:40,702 –> 00:30:41,822
spots on the window like,
898
00:30:42,862 –> 00:30:43,102
you know,
899
00:30:43,102 –> 00:30:44,142
there’s a high chair here.
900
00:30:44,542 –> 00:30:45,742
Is it been wiped down?
901
00:30:46,502 –> 00:30:48,462
You know, basic are the coolers clean.
902
00:30:48,702 –> 00:30:49,982
It just stuff happens.
903
00:30:50,302 –> 00:30:51,302
I mean, but people don’t.
904
00:30:51,302 –> 00:30:52,102
People don’t.
905
00:30:52,222 –> 00:30:53,262
They don’t think like that.
906
00:30:53,262 –> 00:30:53,582
And I mean,
907
00:30:53,582 –> 00:30:55,662
when you sit there and you watch and you pay attention,
908
00:30:55,942 –> 00:30:57,582
I don’t want to eat somebody else’s germs.
909
00:30:57,662 –> 00:30:59,342
I don’t want somebody shaking my hand while they’re
910
00:31:00,022 –> 00:31:00,302
All of that,
911
00:31:00,302 –> 00:31:01,822
all the proprietors down here,
912
00:31:01,822 –> 00:31:02,542
they’re due,
913
00:31:03,262 –> 00:31:03,942
It’s a city.
914
00:31:03,942 –> 00:31:04,382
There’s rats,
915
00:31:06,222 –> 00:31:08,622
Those comments that it’s a city.
916
00:31:08,622 –> 00:31:09,662
Every city has rats.
917
00:31:09,662 –> 00:31:10,622
Absolutely they do.
918
00:31:10,862 –> 00:31:12,382
Every restaurant has rats.
919
00:31:12,542 –> 00:31:13,702
No, they don’t.
920
00:31:13,702 –> 00:31:15,662
That is the most dumbest comment I’ve ever heard.
921
00:31:15,822 –> 00:31:17,822
Because if every restaurant had rats,
922
00:31:17,822 –> 00:31:19,822
then there wouldn’t be anywhere for you to eat.
923
00:31:19,982 –> 00:31:21,182
They’d be shut down.
924
00:31:21,222 –> 00:31:22,942
Which one is shut down today?
925
00:31:23,822 –> 00:31:24,702
I won’t say the name.
926
00:31:24,702 –> 00:31:25,422
You already know.
927
00:31:26,342 –> 00:31:27,342
This isn’t New York.
928
00:31:28,782 –> 00:31:32,782
Come on, you spend money and you maintain your building,
929
00:31:33,102 –> 00:31:33,822
like Charlie said.
930
00:31:33,822 –> 00:31:34,462
Like you said,
931
00:31:34,702 –> 00:31:37,022
you take care of it for the respect of your customers.
932
00:31:37,342 –> 00:31:39,182
If you don’t respect your customers.
933
00:31:39,702 –> 00:31:40,782
There’s nothing more I can say.
934
00:31:41,182 –> 00:31:42,262
What happened to the the member.
935
00:31:42,382 –> 00:31:44,302
They were supposed to be an inspection thing from the
936
00:31:44,302 –> 00:31:45,502
city and they were going to post,
937
00:31:45,502 –> 00:31:45,742
you know,
938
00:31:45,742 –> 00:31:48,222
like they do in New York with the ABCD rating.
939
00:31:48,222 –> 00:31:48,822
Did that ever,
940
00:31:48,822 –> 00:31:49,542
whatever happened?
941
00:31:49,542 –> 00:31:50,582
It hasn’t come to fruition,
942
00:31:50,582 –> 00:31:51,222
but the stuff’s out.
943
00:31:51,302 –> 00:31:52,622
They’ll get their act together too.
944
00:31:52,782 –> 00:31:54,062
They’re actually doing a very good job.
945
00:31:54,102 –> 00:31:54,982
Yeah, the health department,
946
00:31:54,982 –> 00:31:55,702
building department,
947
00:31:55,702 –> 00:31:56,142
they do a good job.
948
00:31:56,302 –> 00:31:58,222
You know, you see buildings is awesome.
949
00:31:58,382 –> 00:31:59,342
You see, you know,
950
00:32:00,062 –> 00:32:01,422
Kenny the paraplegic,
951
00:32:01,422 –> 00:32:01,702
you know,
952
00:32:01,702 –> 00:32:03,422
you see everybody come through here.
953
00:32:03,422 –> 00:32:03,702
It’s awesome.
954
00:32:04,142 –> 00:32:04,622
It’s really,
955
00:32:04,782 –> 00:32:06,182
it’s where Detroit meets.
956
00:32:06,182 –> 00:32:07,902
So yeah, I mean,
957
00:32:08,142 –> 00:32:09,022
are you taking us to lunch?
958
00:32:09,662 –> 00:32:14,302
And the most efficient government agency in this city?
959
00:32:19,022 –> 00:32:19,822
Got to hand it to them.
960
00:32:19,902 –> 00:32:20,822
Speaking of rats.
961
00:32:20,822 –> 00:32:21,742
Hey, hey, mayor,
962
00:32:21,742 –> 00:32:22,782
give me a break here,
963
00:32:23,822 –> 00:32:24,302
You know, they got,
964
00:32:24,462 –> 00:32:24,662
you know,
965
00:32:24,702 –> 00:32:25,862
they got their lights and plate.
966
00:32:25,862 –> 00:32:27,102
This is Charlie’s car.
967
00:32:27,102 –> 00:32:29,062
Oh, everybody getting a phone.
968
00:32:29,102 –> 00:32:32,862
Everybody wants to move up one.
969
00:32:33,262 –> 00:32:34,302
You’re getting a call.
970
00:32:35,062 –> 00:32:35,742
You’re getting a call.
971
00:32:35,742 –> 00:32:36,782
Oh, it’s coming,
972
00:32:37,222 –> 00:32:38,262
And you know what’s coming.
973
00:32:38,622 –> 00:32:39,222
I know, you know,
974
00:32:39,222 –> 00:32:41,382
it’s going to be great.
975
00:32:41,422 –> 00:32:43,502
OK, that’s the show.
976
00:32:43,502 –> 00:32:45,102
But I want to leave you with this.
977
00:32:45,542 –> 00:32:50,382
Let me let me tell you the origin of the Coney dog
978
00:32:51,342 –> 00:32:52,422
proprietary hot dog,
979
00:32:52,702 –> 00:32:53,942
the Greek meat sauce,
980
00:32:53,942 –> 00:32:58,462
which is 108 year old recipe and why it’s called the
981
00:32:58,462 –> 00:33:01,982
Coney Island Constantine Kerikopoulos.
982
00:33:03,142 –> 00:33:04,862
It walks down from Dara,
983
00:33:05,182 –> 00:33:07,342
the village up in the hills of Greece,
984
00:33:07,502 –> 00:33:09,982
1906, a dusty Rd.
985
00:33:10,142 –> 00:33:11,342
no electricity.
986
00:33:12,142 –> 00:33:15,542
He gets on the Francesca and he sails to the New World
987
00:33:15,902 –> 00:33:17,342
and he gets off at Ellis Island.
988
00:33:17,742 –> 00:33:19,662
And I went and looked up his manifest.
989
00:33:19,822 –> 00:33:22,382
He had $25 and a pair of shoes.
990
00:33:23,022 –> 00:33:25,022
But before he got on the train to Detroit,
991
00:33:25,422 –> 00:33:26,742
he visited Coney Island,
992
00:33:26,742 –> 00:33:27,182
Brooklyn,
993
00:33:27,822 –> 00:33:29,902
and he saw the electric lights.
994
00:33:30,262 –> 00:33:32,862
The new Ferris wheel that was invented for the Chicago
995
00:33:32,862 –> 00:33:33,582
World Fair.
996
00:33:34,302 –> 00:33:36,142
Feldman’s Hot Dog Emporium,
997
00:33:36,702 –> 00:33:37,742
Which beer?
998
00:33:37,742 –> 00:33:39,742
It was like a big beer guy with hot dogs.
999
00:33:40,142 –> 00:33:41,262
He remembers this.
1000
00:33:41,822 –> 00:33:42,782
He comes to Detroit.
1001
00:33:42,782 –> 00:33:44,142
He tries the pickling plant,
1002
00:33:44,142 –> 00:33:44,942
the auto plant.
1003
00:33:45,022 –> 00:33:45,982
It’s it’s all written down.
1004
00:33:45,982 –> 00:33:47,582
You just got to go to the historical museum.
1005
00:33:47,582 –> 00:33:48,382
Look this guy up.
1006
00:33:49,422 –> 00:33:53,262
In 1917, Michigan,
1007
00:33:53,422 –> 00:33:55,422
two years before national prohibition,
1008
00:33:55,582 –> 00:33:56,702
bans alcohol.
1009
00:33:57,102 –> 00:33:58,622
So it was illegal in Michigan,
1010
00:33:58,702 –> 00:33:59,902
just like caged eggs.
1011
00:34:03,662 –> 00:34:07,342
OK, so he might be a country bumpkin,
1012
00:34:07,342 –> 00:34:08,182
but he was no dope.
1013
00:34:08,182 –> 00:34:08,742
You know what he did?
1014
00:34:08,742 –> 00:34:11,502
He goes, let’s open a speak in the basement and some
1015
00:34:11,502 –> 00:34:17,022
card tables and to keep him gambling and drinking.
1016
00:34:17,022 –> 00:34:18,862
I’m going to give him that hot dog I saw.
1017
00:34:18,862 –> 00:34:20,982
I’m going to put the meat sauce on it and I’m going
1018
00:34:20,982 –> 00:34:23,182
to call it Coney Island.
1019
00:34:24,782 –> 00:34:25,742
It was invented here.
1020
00:34:25,742 –> 00:34:27,742
This was America’s first speakeasy.
1021
00:34:27,902 –> 00:34:29,662
The press was allowed to go see it.
1022
00:34:30,302 –> 00:34:38,462
Please, please patronize the restaurant and call me
