Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Wrong.
It was the lobbyist.
The price of eggs has skyrocketed in Michigan, and it’ll probably never go down in an appreciable way.
And it’s all due to a chummy deal cut between Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, animal-rights activists and corporate egg producers. Then there is the lobbyist who put the whole thing together.
What a scam.
But not the only one.
We’re back.
And the fowl government is on the run.
We’re not yoking around.

1
00:00:00,240 –> 00:00:01,520
I know the world’s got you down.
2
00:00:01,520 –> 00:00:03,280
There’s a lot of things going on.
3
00:00:04,080 –> 00:00:05,280
Can’t make sense of them.
4
00:00:06,880 –> 00:00:07,520
In this show,
5
00:00:07,520 –> 00:00:08,560
in less than an hour,
6
00:00:08,920 –> 00:00:11,920
all things shall be explained.
7
00:00:13,080 –> 00:00:14,480
All things shall be explained.
8
00:00:14,720 –> 00:00:16,720
So let me start with this in the new year,
9
00:00:17,360 –> 00:00:18,240
Answer me this.
10
00:00:19,400 –> 00:00:20,400
Which came first,
11
00:00:21,120 –> 00:00:22,640
the chicken or the egg?
12
00:00:24,640 –> 00:00:25,400
That’s a good question,
13
00:00:25,880 –> 00:00:27,360
I’m waiting for you to give me wrong.
14
00:00:27,520 –> 00:00:29,160
It was the lobbyist.
15
00:00:29,920 –> 00:00:31,520
Remember, like over the holidays,
16
00:00:31,520 –> 00:00:34,480
the price of eggs skyrocketed in Michigan,
17
00:00:34,800 –> 00:00:37,880
and it’ll probably never go down in an appreciable
18
00:00:39,200 –> 00:00:43,120
And it’s all due to a chummy deal cut between,
19
00:00:43,120 –> 00:00:44,000
you guessed it,
20
00:00:44,320 –> 00:00:45,680
Governor Gretchen Whitmer,
21
00:00:46,400 –> 00:00:50,160
animal rights activists and corporate egg producers.
22
00:00:50,720 –> 00:00:55,120
Then there’s the lobbyists who put the whole deal together.
23
00:00:55,680 –> 00:00:56,480
So what happened?
24
00:00:56,960 –> 00:00:58,480
Let’s go back to 2009.
25
00:00:59,040 –> 00:01:02,320
The Humane Society convinced Governor Jennifer Granholm
26
00:01:02,560 –> 00:01:05,920
to sign a law requiring Michigan egg producers to
27
00:01:05,920 –> 00:01:09,440
use bigger cages so that confined hens could spread
28
00:01:09,440 –> 00:01:11,600
their wings and live more like humans.
29
00:01:12,800 –> 00:01:15,600
The egg producers were given 11 years to make the change.
30
00:01:16,080 –> 00:01:19,040
The lobbyist for the Humane Society at the time was
31
00:01:19,040 –> 00:01:20,640
a lawyer named Pete Rudel.
32
00:01:21,320 –> 00:01:23,760
In 2018, Rudell,
33
00:01:23,920 –> 00:01:26,400
who was still working for the Humane Society,
34
00:01:26,560 –> 00:01:29,360
was back at the Capitol with a new idea,
35
00:01:29,680 –> 00:01:32,160
one imported straight from California.
36
00:01:32,560 –> 00:01:34,400
Instead of larger cages,
37
00:01:34,640 –> 00:01:38,960
how about doing away with cages altogether by 2025?
38
00:01:39,680 –> 00:01:42,880
Governor Rick Snyder didn’t like the idea and vetoed
39
00:01:43,600 –> 00:01:44,880
But the very next year,
40
00:01:45,040 –> 00:01:48,800
Snyder was out and Whitmer was in and Rudell.
41
00:01:50,320 –> 00:01:51,280
He had a new job.
42
00:01:52,080 –> 00:01:55,360
Rudell was now the lobbyist for wait for it,
43
00:01:56,160 –> 00:01:57,360
the egg farmers.
44
00:01:58,400 –> 00:02:00,080
Now Rudell told me this.
45
00:02:00,080 –> 00:02:00,520
I called him.
46
00:02:00,520 –> 00:02:01,200
I got a hold of him.
47
00:02:02,400 –> 00:02:04,800
The animal activist had a gun to our head,
48
00:02:05,760 –> 00:02:09,920
Rudell saying he with the egg farmers were sitting
49
00:02:09,920 –> 00:02:12,720
in 2019 and the poultry industry did not.
50
00:02:13,120 –> 00:02:15,840
Had not made this conversion yet to the bigger cages,
51
00:02:16,000 –> 00:02:19,040
so they felt that they had their backs against the
52
00:02:19,040 –> 00:02:21,680
wall in the poultry industry and they needed to get
53
00:02:21,840 –> 00:02:22,880
five more years.
54
00:02:23,680 –> 00:02:28,120
So basically it was Rudel’s own gun from his time with
55
00:02:28,120 –> 00:02:31,080
the Humane Society that the animal rights activists
56
00:02:31,080 –> 00:02:34,160
were now pointing at Rudel and his new clients,
57
00:02:34,480 –> 00:02:35,280
the egg farmers.
58
00:02:35,280 –> 00:02:35,920
You follow me?
59
00:02:36,240 –> 00:02:37,040
Yes, I do.
60
00:02:37,280 –> 00:02:38,240
As it happens,
61
00:02:38,880 –> 00:02:42,160
the egg farmers really liked the cage free idea.
62
00:02:44,240 –> 00:02:49,680
Let me quote Michigan Compiled Law Section 287.746
63
00:02:49,840 –> 00:02:54,320
subsection 4 and I quote a business owner shall not
64
00:02:54,320 –> 00:02:58,720
knowingly engage in the sale of any egg in this state
65
00:02:58,960 –> 00:03:02,240
that the business owner knows or should know is the
66
00:03:02,240 –> 00:03:05,120
product of an egg laying hen that was confined.
67
00:03:05,600 –> 00:03:06,480
So that means.
68
00:03:07,080 –> 00:03:07,640
That nearly 70%
69
00:03:07,640 –> 00:03:09,280
of the nation’s eggs,
70
00:03:09,440 –> 00:03:12,640
the ones laid by caged hens across the country,
71
00:03:13,200 –> 00:03:15,760
are now illegal to sell in Michigan.
72
00:03:16,400 –> 00:03:18,320
So the market gets cornered,
73
00:03:18,720 –> 00:03:20,320
the competition gets crushed,
74
00:03:20,640 –> 00:03:22,160
and prices explode.
75
00:03:22,880 –> 00:03:26,800
Add to that a bird flu pandemic that has decimated
76
00:03:26,880 –> 00:03:28,080
Michigan’s chicken flocks.
77
00:03:28,560 –> 00:03:31,160
So now the price of a dozen eggs cost more than the
78
00:03:31,200 –> 00:03:32,480
chicken itself.
79
00:03:33,360 –> 00:03:37,440
Are the more expensive cage free eggs laid by thousands
80
00:03:37,440 –> 00:03:40,560
of birds crammed in the darkened barns any more ethical
81
00:03:40,640 –> 00:03:42,240
or healthy than traditional eggs?
82
00:03:42,720 –> 00:03:46,320
Well, studies show higher rates of bacteria,
83
00:03:46,800 –> 00:03:52,080
parasitic infection and cannibalism among cage free
84
00:03:53,440 –> 00:03:55,840
Further, about 60%
85
00:03:55,840 –> 00:03:59,840
of all the bird flu deaths in America last year occurred
86
00:03:59,840 –> 00:04:01,360
in cage free settings.
87
00:04:01,840 –> 00:04:05,640
Even though the cage free eggs make up only about a
88
00:04:05,640 –> 00:04:06,800
third of the US market.
89
00:04:08,720 –> 00:04:09,280
No matter.
90
00:04:10,160 –> 00:04:12,400
The Humane Society gets its puppy donations.
91
00:04:12,880 –> 00:04:14,960
The governor gets her campaign contributions.
92
00:04:15,280 –> 00:04:17,440
Corporate agriculture gets its profit,
93
00:04:17,920 –> 00:04:19,200
the lobbyist gets paid,
94
00:04:19,680 –> 00:04:21,760
and grandma gets thin.
95
00:04:23,200 –> 00:04:23,920
Last week,
96
00:04:25,120 –> 00:04:26,000
caged eggs,
97
00:04:26,240 –> 00:04:28,240
which are still legal in Ohio,
98
00:04:29,400 –> 00:04:31,200
a dozen went for 397.
99
00:04:31,680 –> 00:04:32,600
In Royal Oak,
100
00:04:32,600 –> 00:04:35,200
where caged eggs are now considered contraband,
101
00:04:35,440 –> 00:04:38,640
the price for cage free eggs was 629.
102
00:04:39,280 –> 00:04:42,400
In San Francisco it was 899.
103
00:04:43,040 –> 00:04:44,640
Now I asked Rudel,
104
00:04:44,720 –> 00:04:45,120
you know,
105
00:04:45,120 –> 00:04:48,320
we talked about the market implications of this and
106
00:04:48,960 –> 00:04:51,600
the switch hitting lobbyist for the egg industry told
107
00:04:51,600 –> 00:04:55,480
me I don’t pay attention to the daily price of eggs,
108
00:04:55,520 –> 00:04:57,360
but I’ll I’ll take your word for it.
109
00:05:00,400 –> 00:05:04,320
OK, So what we have here is Senator Ed Mcbroom,
110
00:05:04,320 –> 00:05:05,280
who’ll be joining us,
111
00:05:06,320 –> 00:05:07,200
who’s, I think,
112
00:05:07,200 –> 00:05:09,600
one of the few farmers in the Michigan legislature.
113
00:05:09,600 –> 00:05:11,440
He’s knows all things agriculture.
114
00:05:11,680 –> 00:05:15,200
We’ll ask him what this means going into the future.
115
00:05:15,360 –> 00:05:16,040
But first,
116
00:05:17,200 –> 00:05:18,480
my buddy Ken Beck and I,
117
00:05:18,480 –> 00:05:20,960
we we put a little something together.
118
00:05:21,920 –> 00:05:23,280
We went down to Toledo because,
119
00:05:23,280 –> 00:05:23,520
you know,
120
00:05:23,520 –> 00:05:23,840
we could,
121
00:05:23,840 –> 00:05:24,160
you know,
122
00:05:24,800 –> 00:05:26,160
I smell an arbitrage here,
123
00:05:27,360 –> 00:05:27,760
You know, if it.
124
00:05:28,400 –> 00:05:29,120
Here’s the deal.
125
00:05:30,160 –> 00:05:34,840
$6 and $4 is a $2.00 difference.
126
00:05:34,840 –> 00:05:37,360
So I figured I could figure out a hustle here.
127
00:05:37,360 –> 00:05:37,920
You know what I’m saying?
128
00:05:38,560 –> 00:05:40,400
So if you want to see the full version of this,
129
00:05:40,400 –> 00:05:43,040
because this show is also most of the audience is
130
00:05:43,360 –> 00:05:44,640
listening and not watching,
131
00:05:44,960 –> 00:05:47,680
you can go to themichiganenjoyer.com where everything
132
00:05:48,320 –> 00:05:50,000
You can go to our YouTube page,
133
00:05:50,000 –> 00:05:50,640
which is what?
134
00:05:51,200 –> 00:05:52,160
No BS News Hour.
135
00:05:52,800 –> 00:05:55,760
You can follow me on X Charlie Leduff and you can watch
136
00:05:56,920 –> 00:05:58,640
But let’s play a little excerpt here.
137
00:05:59,840 –> 00:06:01,040
Old school eggs,
138
00:06:01,040 –> 00:06:03,360
the kind that used to be grown in cages,
139
00:06:03,360 –> 00:06:05,680
are now illegal in Michigan.
140
00:06:05,840 –> 00:06:08,320
So smelling an arbitrage opportunity,
141
00:06:08,560 –> 00:06:12,320
I hustle down to Ohio to score some contour band merchandise.
142
00:06:12,560 –> 00:06:15,520
They still allow you to grow eggs in cages down there.
143
00:06:17,280 –> 00:06:18,560
You know where I can score some eggs?
144
00:06:19,000 –> 00:06:19,600
Score some eggs?
145
00:06:19,840 –> 00:06:22,280
Yeah, I’m cooler over there.
146
00:06:22,280 –> 00:06:22,520
Thank you.
147
00:06:38,000 –> 00:06:44,800
9 X 397 still $3 cheaper.
148
00:06:56,800 –> 00:06:57,920
You know what they did in Michigan?
149
00:06:59,280 –> 00:07:00,560
They can’t be grown in cages.
150
00:07:01,520 –> 00:07:02,840
Oh, I did hear about that.
151
00:07:02,840 –> 00:07:04,640
So the price was like seven bucks a night.
152
00:07:06,320 –> 00:07:07,000
Yeah, isn’t that crazy?
153
00:07:07,000 –> 00:07:07,360
Seven bucks.
154
00:07:08,960 –> 00:07:09,520
Nine and half.
155
00:07:09,520 –> 00:07:09,760
Yeah, I know,
156
00:07:09,760 –> 00:07:10,960
I wanna do it.
157
00:07:11,920 –> 00:07:13,680
Keep that for yourself right here.
158
00:07:19,000 –> 00:07:21,040
Remember, mega day.
159
00:07:22,240 –> 00:07:22,960
He was a doctor.
160
00:07:24,240 –> 00:07:25,680
I remember that.
161
00:07:25,920 –> 00:07:27,160
Once I made the score,
162
00:07:27,160 –> 00:07:29,520
I drove back to Michigan and popped into my local
163
00:07:29,520 –> 00:07:32,640
grocery store to peep out the competition.
164
00:07:40,400 –> 00:07:46,080
$6.29 in one of the largest egg growing states in America.
165
00:07:48,760 –> 00:07:49,720
Something stinks.
166
00:07:51,000 –> 00:07:52,680
Now I ain’t no genius,
167
00:07:52,840 –> 00:07:56,280
but six dollars is two dollars more than four dollars.
168
00:08:00,360 –> 00:08:02,440
Extra large grade A straight from Ohio.
169
00:08:03,320 –> 00:08:03,880
Five bucks.
170
00:08:07,400 –> 00:08:07,800
Hey buddy.
171
00:08:09,680 –> 00:08:11,000
For you fresh from Ohio,
172
00:08:11,000 –> 00:08:12,760
extra large grade A five dollars.
173
00:08:13,280 –> 00:08:13,880
Five dollars?
174
00:08:14,280 –> 00:08:15,440
There’s $6.29 in there.
175
00:08:16,560 –> 00:08:17,840
Those white or brown eggs.
176
00:08:17,840 –> 00:08:18,440
I want brown.
177
00:08:18,560 –> 00:08:19,160
White eggs.
178
00:08:19,240 –> 00:08:20,200
When you get brown,
179
00:08:22,280 –> 00:08:23,120
When you go in there,
180
00:08:23,120 –> 00:08:23,880
you’re gonna be shocked.
181
00:08:23,880 –> 00:08:24,920
This is my last chance.
182
00:08:25,000 –> 00:08:25,800
That fresh in my hand.
183
00:08:25,920 –> 00:08:26,120
All right.
184
00:08:26,360 –> 00:08:26,600
All right.
185
00:08:27,080 –> 00:08:29,160
It’s a large grade egg.
186
00:08:29,760 –> 00:08:31,640
For you, five bucks.
187
00:08:32,760 –> 00:08:34,240
I mean, now we have a shortage.
188
00:08:34,480 –> 00:08:36,280
And it’s, you know who wrote the law?
189
00:08:37,160 –> 00:08:39,640
The The lobbyists for the Humane Society.
190
00:08:40,120 –> 00:08:41,280
You know who he’s a lobbyist for now?
191
00:08:43,560 –> 00:08:47,320
Oh, Van Hal.
192
00:08:47,320 –> 00:08:49,040
I’ll be happy for Van Hal.
193
00:08:49,440 –> 00:08:50,920
For you, don’t nanny that.
194
00:08:57,040 –> 00:08:59,320
Live from downtown Detroit.
195
00:08:59,640 –> 00:09:04,120
It’s the No Bullshit News Hour with my main man,
196
00:09:12,520 –> 00:09:15,880
Charlie and Karen Dubas.
197
00:09:22,200 –> 00:09:23,000
No, it’s OK.
198
00:09:24,360 –> 00:09:25,160
Great, Charlie.
199
00:09:26,360 –> 00:09:27,960
How do you think of this stuff?
200
00:09:28,080 –> 00:09:29,880
Well, you know,
201
00:09:29,880 –> 00:09:31,080
I got a good partner,
202
00:09:31,640 –> 00:09:32,480
Ken Beck over there.
203
00:09:32,480 –> 00:09:33,000
You know what I mean?
204
00:09:33,000 –> 00:09:33,680
Ken’s creative.
205
00:09:33,720 –> 00:09:35,080
Ken, hats off to you.
206
00:09:35,400 –> 00:09:36,680
It’s actually longer.
207
00:09:36,680 –> 00:09:37,400
It’s cool.
208
00:09:37,560 –> 00:09:39,960
It’s an homage to the movie The Sting.
209
00:09:40,520 –> 00:09:43,640
But a lot of it’s just music and setup.
210
00:09:43,640 –> 00:09:45,000
So where can we see the rest of the piece?
211
00:09:45,000 –> 00:09:46,960
The michiganenjoyer.com.
212
00:09:47,800 –> 00:09:49,400
My Twitter page.
213
00:09:51,040 –> 00:09:51,880
I want to check it out.
214
00:09:51,960 –> 00:09:54,040
So before we get to Senator Ed Mcbroom.
215
00:09:55,200 –> 00:09:56,600
Let me tell you about Luke Nowacki,
216
00:09:56,600 –> 00:09:58,760
who reminds you that the politicians lie to you.
217
00:09:58,920 –> 00:10:00,200
The media lies to you.
218
00:10:00,280 –> 00:10:02,680
So how do you know if your investment statements are
219
00:10:02,680 –> 00:10:03,440
lying to you?
220
00:10:03,720 –> 00:10:06,120
Remember, you’re not managing your wealth.
221
00:10:06,120 –> 00:10:09,160
That’s some unseen guy working for a big bank,
222
00:10:09,160 –> 00:10:11,320
jockeying some unknown algorithm.
223
00:10:11,720 –> 00:10:14,040
But he’s not making decisions based on what’s best
224
00:10:15,240 –> 00:10:18,760
He’s making decisions on what’s best for his bonus,
225
00:10:19,080 –> 00:10:21,320
gambling with your hard earned dollars.
226
00:10:21,800 –> 00:10:22,760
You should know your money,
227
00:10:23,240 –> 00:10:26,120
That’s why I work with financial specialist Luke Nowacki
228
00:10:26,360 –> 00:10:27,800
at Pinnacle Wealth Strategies.
229
00:10:28,120 –> 00:10:30,600
He’ll tailor a financial plan specifically for you,
230
00:10:30,880 –> 00:10:33,960
from annuities to retirement accounts to college savings
231
00:10:34,680 –> 00:10:35,720
He’ll keep you up to date,
232
00:10:35,800 –> 00:10:37,320
and he’s always a phone call away.
233
00:10:37,560 –> 00:10:40,760
Let Luke Nowacki worry so you don’t have to.
234
00:10:41,080 –> 00:10:41,840
Luke Nowacki,
235
00:10:41,840 –> 00:10:44,640
248-663-4748,
236
00:10:45,000 –> 00:10:49,240
248-663-4748 now.
237
00:10:50,560 –> 00:10:54,840
From the great is is the UP part of Michigan still
238
00:10:56,280 –> 00:10:57,920
I thought we were swapping that out with Canada.
239
00:10:58,520 –> 00:11:01,320
We would take Ottawa and we’ll give them the UP.
240
00:11:01,320 –> 00:11:03,560
But from from the Upper Peninsula,
241
00:11:04,600 –> 00:11:06,280
State Senator Ed Mcbroom.
242
00:11:06,280 –> 00:11:07,480
Hey Ed, thanks for being here.
243
00:11:09,320 –> 00:11:10,320
Great to be back with you,
244
00:11:10,760 –> 00:11:12,920
I love that piece there from The Sting.
245
00:11:13,080 –> 00:11:13,800
Great movie,
246
00:11:14,040 –> 00:11:15,160
great take off.
247
00:11:15,400 –> 00:11:17,400
We’ll we’ll we’ll send you a link and then you can.
248
00:11:18,040 –> 00:11:19,880
You know, send it around up there.
249
00:11:19,880 –> 00:11:20,760
Like, you know what I mean?
250
00:11:20,760 –> 00:11:22,440
I know you guys are big fans up there at the State
251
00:11:26,200 –> 00:11:31,400
So Ed, that was I about right in that in that monologue,
252
00:11:31,480 –> 00:11:33,320
is that the the sweep of this thing?
253
00:11:34,760 –> 00:11:35,800
Yeah, absolutely.
254
00:11:35,800 –> 00:11:39,240
There’s all those who are now telling us,
255
00:11:39,320 –> 00:11:42,040
oh, the cost of eggs has gone up.
256
00:11:42,040 –> 00:11:43,640
It’s not related to cage-free.
257
00:11:43,640 –> 00:11:45,320
They’re they’re talking out their hat,
258
00:11:46,840 –> 00:11:48,840
Cage free has always been more expensive.
259
00:11:48,920 –> 00:11:50,920
Farmers know it’s more expensive.
260
00:11:51,480 –> 00:11:54,920
And when they agreed to go cage free in Michigan,
261
00:11:54,920 –> 00:11:57,960
they had to have us pass an additional law to make
262
00:11:57,960 –> 00:12:01,160
it illegal for non-cage free eggs to come into the
263
00:12:01,160 –> 00:12:03,760
state because they know they can’t compete against
264
00:12:04,720 –> 00:12:07,800
And so is this price,
265
00:12:08,200 –> 00:12:11,480
the upward pressure on prices for the most basic of
266
00:12:11,480 –> 00:12:13,080
foods, eggs,
267
00:12:13,800 –> 00:12:15,880
If if there’s anything that says inflation.
268
00:12:17,320 –> 00:12:18,200
I know it’s bread,
269
00:12:18,520 –> 00:12:19,800
those basics people,
270
00:12:19,880 –> 00:12:20,120
you know,
271
00:12:20,120 –> 00:12:21,240
milk, maybe.
272
00:12:21,240 –> 00:12:22,760
I mean, we say it bread,
273
00:12:22,760 –> 00:12:23,320
maybe we say,
274
00:12:23,320 –> 00:12:24,040
but eggs,
275
00:12:24,040 –> 00:12:25,000
you, you know,
276
00:12:25,400 –> 00:12:29,080
the egg was central to this whole election kind of
277
00:12:30,440 –> 00:12:33,320
right that that spoke more about inflation than anything.
278
00:12:34,240 –> 00:12:37,120
Any chance in in Michigan that the price is going to
279
00:12:37,120 –> 00:12:39,480
go down or does this law prohibit that?
280
00:12:41,320 –> 00:12:44,760
Well, when with the HPA is obviously adding additional
281
00:12:45,360 –> 00:12:49,240
So if we ever can clear up this mess with HPA,
282
00:12:49,240 –> 00:12:51,480
the bird flu,
283
00:12:52,520 –> 00:12:52,760
you know,
284
00:12:52,760 –> 00:12:55,160
prices will adjust downwards.
285
00:12:55,160 –> 00:12:58,200
But we’re always going to be more expensive now as
286
00:12:58,240 –> 00:12:59,720
a cage-free only state,
287
00:12:59,800 –> 00:13:01,720
we’re going to be more expensive than the states that
288
00:13:02,600 –> 00:13:04,840
Now the industry likes the bullshit and say,
289
00:13:04,920 –> 00:13:05,400
well, you know,
290
00:13:05,400 –> 00:13:08,840
there’s no shortage because Michigan actually exports
291
00:13:11,320 –> 00:13:13,160
But here’s what everybody should know.
292
00:13:13,160 –> 00:13:16,600
The biggest egg producer in Michigan has the contract
293
00:13:16,600 –> 00:13:20,000
with McDonald’s and basically supplies every McDonald’s
294
00:13:20,000 –> 00:13:22,600
store east of the Mississippi with eggs.
295
00:13:23,320 –> 00:13:25,240
So it’s it’s a corporate client.
296
00:13:26,440 –> 00:13:27,800
Ed, do you think McDonald’s,
297
00:13:28,600 –> 00:13:30,840
this, this cost was passed down to McDonald’s or was
298
00:13:30,840 –> 00:13:32,040
it passed down to my mother?
299
00:13:34,280 –> 00:13:36,360
Well, I I think it’s probably both,
300
00:13:36,440 –> 00:13:37,480
I I suspect,
301
00:13:37,480 –> 00:13:39,640
although I’m sure McDonald’s is getting a better deal
302
00:13:39,640 –> 00:13:40,280
than your mother.
303
00:13:41,720 –> 00:13:45,640
But who’s checking to see if an egg is caged or not?
304
00:13:45,640 –> 00:13:47,400
I mean, where’s the enforcement?
305
00:13:47,720 –> 00:13:49,640
Is there any type of inspection?
306
00:13:49,640 –> 00:13:52,360
Like who’s who’s determining whether or not the eggs
307
00:13:52,360 –> 00:13:55,080
are caged or not by the time that they’re harvested
308
00:13:55,280 –> 00:13:56,880
and delivered to the store?
309
00:13:56,880 –> 00:14:00,840
Where’s the confirmation that it’s actually a cage-free
310
00:14:03,520 –> 00:14:04,760
Well, that’s a great question.
311
00:14:05,320 –> 00:14:08,760
I would say that there’s a couple of different parts
312
00:14:08,760 –> 00:14:10,480
of that, but it is going to be enforced.
313
00:14:10,480 –> 00:14:13,400
One, the guys who’ve made the investment to go cage
314
00:14:13,400 –> 00:14:16,280
free are certainly going to be on the lookout for
315
00:14:16,280 –> 00:14:19,560
anybody who’s not following those rules and is impacting
316
00:14:19,560 –> 00:14:20,360
their bottom line.
317
00:14:20,760 –> 00:14:25,240
You have HSUS and their people who are out there anxious
318
00:14:25,240 –> 00:14:27,000
to enforce these rules as well.
319
00:14:27,480 –> 00:14:28,120
And finally,
320
00:14:28,120 –> 00:14:30,600
you can call on the State Department of Agriculture
321
00:14:31,240 –> 00:14:32,520
To enforce this law,
322
00:14:32,600 –> 00:14:34,680
as they do with other food production laws,
323
00:14:34,680 –> 00:14:37,000
some of which I’m subject to as a dairy farmer.
324
00:14:37,920 –> 00:14:41,480
And so it’s enforceable and there’s people who are
325
00:14:41,480 –> 00:14:44,320
going to be watching and making a big deal about enforcing
326
00:14:45,040 –> 00:14:46,080
I mean, when you go to the store,
327
00:14:46,080 –> 00:14:47,160
is it like the golden egg?
328
00:14:47,160 –> 00:14:49,480
Can you look at it and tell that it’s really or is
329
00:14:49,480 –> 00:14:51,200
it just switched in a different carton?
330
00:14:51,480 –> 00:14:52,280
That’s what I’m saying.
331
00:14:52,360 –> 00:14:53,080
Like how do you know,
332
00:14:53,640 –> 00:14:55,960
Look, a cage free egg is not more nutritious,
333
00:14:55,960 –> 00:14:56,440
is it Ed?
334
00:14:57,560 –> 00:14:58,440
No, not at all.
335
00:14:58,520 –> 00:14:59,400
No difference.
336
00:14:59,400 –> 00:14:59,960
No difference.
337
00:15:00,120 –> 00:15:01,400
And it looks to me,
338
00:15:01,400 –> 00:15:03,800
well, the the vast amount of stuff I read on it,
339
00:15:04,840 –> 00:15:06,200
it’s not more humane.
340
00:15:06,760 –> 00:15:08,200
It looks more humane.
341
00:15:08,200 –> 00:15:09,960
And they convinced everybody that,
342
00:15:09,960 –> 00:15:10,200
you know,
343
00:15:10,200 –> 00:15:11,800
the guy in the parking lot wanted the brown eggs.
344
00:15:12,360 –> 00:15:12,960
We didn’t make it.
345
00:15:12,960 –> 00:15:13,320
He’s like,
346
00:15:13,400 –> 00:15:14,280
are they cage free?
347
00:15:14,360 –> 00:15:14,680
And I’m like,
348
00:15:14,680 –> 00:15:15,200
that’s the point,
349
00:15:16,280 –> 00:15:17,080
That’s the point,
350
00:15:18,360 –> 00:15:19,880
So it’s been a whole marketing campaign.
351
00:15:20,120 –> 00:15:21,000
And like you said,
352
00:15:21,000 –> 00:15:22,680
like there’s no real.
353
00:15:24,120 –> 00:15:27,320
Government oversight about what constitutes organic
354
00:15:27,400 –> 00:15:28,440
or cage free.
355
00:15:28,440 –> 00:15:30,360
It’s just a label and there’s some.
356
00:15:30,814 –> 00:15:31,654
And that’s it.
357
00:15:32,134 –> 00:15:33,694
And like you said in the marketing campaign,
358
00:15:33,694 –> 00:15:35,254
I mean, when you think about oversight,
359
00:15:35,254 –> 00:15:38,614
government oversight of food production and consumption,
360
00:15:39,014 –> 00:15:41,574
the FDA just said that they were just going to start
361
00:15:41,574 –> 00:15:44,414
monitoring the lead levels in baby food for the first
362
00:15:44,414 –> 00:15:45,014
time ever.
363
00:15:45,334 –> 00:15:46,374
So, you know,
364
00:15:46,374 –> 00:15:48,614
what is anybody really doing as it relates to what
365
00:15:48,614 –> 00:15:49,574
we’re consuming?
366
00:15:49,654 –> 00:15:50,854
Yeah, let me ask you this,
367
00:15:51,134 –> 00:15:54,214
I mean, you helped write the AG bill,
368
00:15:54,534 –> 00:15:55,174
The, you know,
369
00:15:55,174 –> 00:15:58,694
we had to bring it up to modern standards and definitions.
370
00:15:58,774 –> 00:15:59,814
So you were involved in that,
371
00:16:01,974 –> 00:16:04,294
The the other parts of that bill,
372
00:16:04,294 –> 00:16:04,974
Yes, yes.
373
00:16:05,574 –> 00:16:09,334
But you also stood on the Senate floor warning everybody
374
00:16:10,054 –> 00:16:14,374
that what we just saw a couple days before this law
375
00:16:14,374 –> 00:16:15,294
went into effect.
376
00:16:15,294 –> 00:16:16,574
Exactly what you warned about,
377
00:16:16,574 –> 00:16:18,774
which is prices are going to skyrocket.
378
00:16:20,214 –> 00:16:20,814
Yeah, right.
379
00:16:21,534 –> 00:16:22,294
And who listened to you?
380
00:16:22,294 –> 00:16:23,894
I didn’t read that in the newspapers.
381
00:16:26,774 –> 00:16:29,134
I I know that I did convince a couple of colleagues
382
00:16:29,134 –> 00:16:30,614
to come my way and vote no.
383
00:16:30,934 –> 00:16:31,654
Tom Barrett,
384
00:16:31,654 –> 00:16:33,414
who’s now a congressman in particular,
385
00:16:33,734 –> 00:16:35,014
he texted me the other day,
386
00:16:35,014 –> 00:16:37,814
thanked me for making sure he voted the right way
387
00:16:39,574 –> 00:16:40,454
But, you know,
388
00:16:40,534 –> 00:16:42,294
I even had some people who voted no,
389
00:16:42,294 –> 00:16:44,374
some of my Democrat colleagues who voted no,
390
00:16:44,694 –> 00:16:47,374
who said the reason they voted no was it didn’t implement
391
00:16:47,374 –> 00:16:48,374
cage free right away.
392
00:16:48,374 –> 00:16:49,814
They didn’t want the five year delay.
393
00:16:49,814 –> 00:16:51,494
So, you know,
394
00:16:51,494 –> 00:16:52,534
not everybody listened.
395
00:16:53,254 –> 00:16:55,974
What a just dumb asses from like.
396
00:16:56,454 –> 00:16:58,054
Metro Detroit suburbs,
397
00:16:58,054 –> 00:17:03,014
right, Voting on the source of food and they know
398
00:17:03,014 –> 00:17:04,374
nothing about it.
399
00:17:05,734 –> 00:17:08,534
Well, what I can tell you as a farmer who’s been very
400
00:17:08,534 –> 00:17:10,854
involved over the last 20 years since I got out of
401
00:17:10,854 –> 00:17:14,934
college and have seen HSUS rise up across the country
402
00:17:15,174 –> 00:17:20,134
with this undue influence and they appeal to the consumer
403
00:17:20,534 –> 00:17:23,094
on emotional fronts and they show a picture of.
404
00:17:23,694 –> 00:17:27,294
Of some cow or a chicken or something in a circumstance
405
00:17:27,294 –> 00:17:28,134
that’s always very,
406
00:17:28,454 –> 00:17:28,614
you know,
407
00:17:28,614 –> 00:17:30,694
clipped and you know,
408
00:17:30,694 –> 00:17:32,614
taken out of context almost always.
409
00:17:32,614 –> 00:17:34,854
Or they find somebody who does abuse their animals
410
00:17:35,174 –> 00:17:37,734
and then they they push that out there and they tell
411
00:17:37,734 –> 00:17:40,894
everyone this is how all your food is made and you
412
00:17:40,894 –> 00:17:44,054
need to get your legislators to pass laws to stop
413
00:17:44,054 –> 00:17:47,494
this because we should see all of our food produced
414
00:17:47,494 –> 00:17:48,854
like Old McDonald made it.
415
00:17:49,094 –> 00:17:51,254
And that’s that would be great.
416
00:17:51,414 –> 00:17:52,854
Yeah, my kid kind of thinks that.
417
00:17:53,254 –> 00:17:53,814
You know, like,
418
00:17:54,214 –> 00:17:54,374
you know,
419
00:17:54,374 –> 00:17:54,934
we’re looking,
420
00:17:54,934 –> 00:17:55,974
we’re looking at and honestly,
421
00:17:55,974 –> 00:17:57,894
some and honestly,
422
00:17:57,894 –> 00:18:01,574
some farmers are willing to kind of play this fiction
423
00:18:02,134 –> 00:18:02,774
For instance,
424
00:18:02,774 –> 00:18:05,254
you might remember the commercials about happy cows
425
00:18:05,254 –> 00:18:08,134
come from California and showed the cows out on green
426
00:18:08,134 –> 00:18:09,254
hills in the sunshine.
427
00:18:09,254 –> 00:18:09,974
You remember those?
428
00:18:11,734 –> 00:18:13,494
Those commercials were filmed in New Zealand.
429
00:18:15,894 –> 00:18:17,574
Senator, can I ask you this question though?
430
00:18:17,734 –> 00:18:20,734
It isn’t cage free does not mean that they’re not in
431
00:18:21,254 –> 00:18:23,574
Doesn’t it mean that there’s a door that’s open that
432
00:18:23,574 –> 00:18:25,494
gives them the opportunity to come out of the cage
433
00:18:25,494 –> 00:18:26,054
if they want?
434
00:18:26,534 –> 00:18:27,334
Oh, no, no,
435
00:18:27,654 –> 00:18:29,214
no, no, no.
436
00:18:29,334 –> 00:18:30,614
That’s a big part of the lie here.
437
00:18:31,054 –> 00:18:33,734
That’s a big part of the lie is that now these chickens
438
00:18:33,734 –> 00:18:36,134
are out frolicking in the sunshine and in the green
439
00:18:36,134 –> 00:18:37,174
grasses and,
440
00:18:37,494 –> 00:18:37,734
you know,
441
00:18:37,734 –> 00:18:39,494
just having a grand old time.
442
00:18:39,894 –> 00:18:40,934
That’s not true at all.
443
00:18:42,214 –> 00:18:46,614
Very much still enclosed and housed and even caged.
444
00:18:46,614 –> 00:18:48,854
It’s just that the cages are very big.
445
00:18:49,174 –> 00:18:51,094
They might not have the tops on them.
446
00:18:51,894 –> 00:18:54,374
It’s basically and they start off small.
447
00:18:54,454 –> 00:18:57,374
The chickens are small and so there’s some room as
448
00:18:57,374 –> 00:18:57,894
they’re growing.
449
00:18:57,894 –> 00:18:59,414
But basically by the time they’re full,
450
00:18:59,414 –> 00:19:01,734
you could come in and it’s more packed than,
451
00:19:02,694 –> 00:19:03,014
you know,
452
00:19:03,174 –> 00:19:05,614
the line getting into the stadium on game day.
453
00:19:05,614 –> 00:19:10,294
I mean, it’s just bumper to bumper chickens and there’s.
454
00:19:10,694 –> 00:19:13,814
They’re stomping around in their own crap and they’re
455
00:19:13,814 –> 00:19:16,214
spilling their feed in the midst of their own crap.
456
00:19:16,694 –> 00:19:19,174
And it’s not cleaner,
457
00:19:19,174 –> 00:19:20,214
it’s not healthier.
458
00:19:20,534 –> 00:19:22,814
It’s not better for the birds because now chickens
459
00:19:22,814 –> 00:19:25,734
set up those pecking orders and hundreds of chickens
460
00:19:25,734 –> 00:19:28,454
are now competing with each other rather than 2-3
461
00:19:28,454 –> 00:19:30,294
five in a smaller cage setting.
462
00:19:31,014 –> 00:19:33,014
So it’s less humane.
463
00:19:33,414 –> 00:19:35,414
So wouldn’t it be more important to know what they’re
464
00:19:35,414 –> 00:19:36,214
being fed?
465
00:19:36,214 –> 00:19:37,414
Like, you know,
466
00:19:37,814 –> 00:19:40,134
I don’t know what you feed a chicken or.
467
00:19:40,774 –> 00:19:41,814
Whatever we’re talking about.
468
00:19:41,814 –> 00:19:42,934
I mean, isn’t that,
469
00:19:43,094 –> 00:19:45,334
isn’t that part of the conversation that should in
470
00:19:45,334 –> 00:19:47,814
terms of how healthy the chicken is and how healthy
471
00:19:47,814 –> 00:19:48,614
the egg would be?
472
00:19:49,974 –> 00:19:50,694
Yeah, well,
473
00:19:51,414 –> 00:19:52,454
And and I’ll tell you,
474
00:19:52,454 –> 00:19:55,734
I’ve been to some of these big operations before they
475
00:19:55,734 –> 00:19:56,614
went cage free,
476
00:19:56,694 –> 00:19:57,894
since they went cage free.
477
00:19:58,134 –> 00:19:58,654
And I’ll tell you,
478
00:19:58,654 –> 00:20:01,894
I mean, they care about keeping their animals healthy.
479
00:20:02,294 –> 00:20:03,214
They really do.
480
00:20:03,214 –> 00:20:04,214
I mean, they have to,
481
00:20:04,214 –> 00:20:05,174
they can’t afford,
482
00:20:05,414 –> 00:20:07,174
that’s how you make your money unhealthy animals.
483
00:20:08,134 –> 00:20:11,654
And so they’re feeding them a well balanced diet.
484
00:20:11,654 –> 00:20:13,014
It’s very carefully managed.
485
00:20:13,214 –> 00:20:15,574
Even on my farm with 120 milking cows,
486
00:20:15,974 –> 00:20:18,774
I hire a nutritionist to test my feed,
487
00:20:18,774 –> 00:20:19,734
test my soil,
488
00:20:19,734 –> 00:20:21,734
make sure I’m feeding the animals just right.
489
00:20:22,814 –> 00:20:24,454
And so these guys are doing a good job.
490
00:20:24,454 –> 00:20:26,134
I believe they’re still humane,
491
00:20:26,534 –> 00:20:29,414
but this is a more expensive way to do it.
492
00:20:29,814 –> 00:20:32,454
And it allows you to put a label on a box that deceives
493
00:20:32,454 –> 00:20:35,974
the public into envisioning a reality that’s not true
494
00:20:36,294 –> 00:20:37,734
and pay more money for it.
495
00:20:38,134 –> 00:20:39,814
And to protect that more money,
496
00:20:40,054 –> 00:20:42,294
they’ve had to pass a law that forbids anybody who’s
497
00:20:42,294 –> 00:20:43,334
doing it the other way,
498
00:20:43,414 –> 00:20:47,334
which was humane and I think more efficient and better
499
00:20:47,334 –> 00:20:49,974
for the animals from competing in the marketplace.
500
00:20:50,134 –> 00:20:53,654
And now all the people that were led to believe that
501
00:20:53,654 –> 00:20:55,654
happy cows come from California,
502
00:20:57,094 –> 00:20:58,934
your food prices just went through the roof and now
503
00:20:58,934 –> 00:21:01,894
people aren’t happy and not and you got to pay attention.
504
00:21:01,974 –> 00:21:05,174
This is a problem with mainstream media.
505
00:21:07,894 –> 00:21:08,934
Doesn’t do his homework.
506
00:21:09,334 –> 00:21:12,934
Big government and big AG all coming together.
507
00:21:12,934 –> 00:21:18,694
And now our food has become just like gas and and our
508
00:21:18,694 –> 00:21:20,774
health insurance and our car insurance.
509
00:21:21,014 –> 00:21:22,774
We’re just getting fucked.
510
00:21:24,214 –> 00:21:26,854
It’s no different than what we’re dealing with on energy
511
00:21:27,214 –> 00:21:28,374
where it’s all about,
512
00:21:28,614 –> 00:21:31,294
hey, you should pay more for your energy to save the
513
00:21:31,294 –> 00:21:36,134
planet from a .2 degree increase in 100 years.
514
00:21:36,534 –> 00:21:37,494
I mean, this is,
515
00:21:37,574 –> 00:21:39,534
this is the nonsense that we’re dealing with.
516
00:21:39,534 –> 00:21:41,094
And they just appeal to people’s,
517
00:21:41,574 –> 00:21:41,974
you know,
518
00:21:42,134 –> 00:21:42,774
Oh my goodness,
519
00:21:42,774 –> 00:21:43,894
I better do this thing.
520
00:21:43,894 –> 00:21:45,854
I better sort my plastics out,
521
00:21:45,854 –> 00:21:47,414
even though they’re going to burn them anyway.
522
00:21:49,494 –> 00:21:49,734
All right.
523
00:21:49,734 –> 00:21:52,774
What it’s Senator Ed Mcbroom from the Michigan State
524
00:21:52,774 –> 00:21:53,654
Legislature.
525
00:21:54,214 –> 00:21:55,734
Ed, if you want to hang,
526
00:21:56,614 –> 00:21:56,814
you know,
527
00:21:56,814 –> 00:21:59,374
we’re going to have a word from our sponsor.
528
00:21:59,374 –> 00:22:00,294
But then I got,
529
00:22:00,774 –> 00:22:01,494
I got, I got some,
530
00:22:01,814 –> 00:22:02,934
I got some news here if you want.
531
00:22:02,934 –> 00:22:03,334
Well, just.
532
00:22:03,734 –> 00:22:05,174
Just want to make sure I tell you though,
533
00:22:05,294 –> 00:22:06,774
when it comes to what came first,
534
00:22:06,774 –> 00:22:07,574
chicken or the egg,
535
00:22:07,574 –> 00:22:09,094
it’s it’s American Coney dog.
536
00:22:11,654 –> 00:22:12,654
Just save me that.
537
00:22:14,134 –> 00:22:14,934
Just save me.
538
00:22:14,934 –> 00:22:16,614
I’m going to read that commercial.
539
00:22:16,934 –> 00:22:17,574
There you go.
540
00:22:17,734 –> 00:22:19,814
And do you know about the Coney kit set?
541
00:22:21,174 –> 00:22:21,814
I’ve been there.
542
00:22:22,374 –> 00:22:23,134
Do you know about the Coney?
543
00:22:23,134 –> 00:22:23,574
fantastic.
544
00:22:23,734 –> 00:22:24,774
If you can’t get here,
545
00:22:24,774 –> 00:22:28,694
go to americanconeyisland.com and a dozen will be
546
00:22:28,694 –> 00:22:31,974
shipped to your home or anywhere in the United States.
547
00:22:31,974 –> 00:22:33,574
Yeah, a dozen dogs.
548
00:22:33,974 –> 00:22:35,014
Steamer buns,
549
00:22:35,734 –> 00:22:38,854
a sweet onion and a nice hat.
550
00:22:38,854 –> 00:22:40,654
You can have that with us.
551
00:22:40,654 –> 00:22:41,294
I had no idea.
552
00:22:41,654 –> 00:22:42,294
Yeah, there you go.
553
00:22:42,374 –> 00:22:44,134
You got a very large family,
554
00:22:44,134 –> 00:22:44,934
so get two of them.
555
00:22:46,294 –> 00:22:46,614
All right.
556
00:22:46,734 –> 00:22:49,174
Let me tell you about Archangel Senior Management.
557
00:22:49,494 –> 00:22:51,734
Are you an entrepreneur looking for a safe and socially
558
00:22:51,734 –> 00:22:53,334
responsible real estate investment?
559
00:22:53,734 –> 00:22:56,854
Consider contacting Archangel Senior Management.
560
00:22:57,174 –> 00:22:59,494
Senior Living is one of the fastest growing markets
561
00:22:59,494 –> 00:23:00,214
in America.
562
00:23:00,534 –> 00:23:03,574
And Archangel offers small communal living for senior
563
00:23:03,574 –> 00:23:06,694
citizens in homes right inside our own neighborhoods.
564
00:23:07,094 –> 00:23:09,654
It’s the antithesis to the cold corporate nursing homes
565
00:23:09,814 –> 00:23:11,574
we’ve all now heard so much about.
566
00:23:12,054 –> 00:23:15,734
Archangel has formed partnerships with the PES School
567
00:23:15,734 –> 00:23:16,374
of Nursing.
568
00:23:16,694 –> 00:23:18,094
And Majestic Residences,
569
00:23:18,334 –> 00:23:21,214
a home-based assisted living franchise system.
570
00:23:21,614 –> 00:23:24,374
This partnership provides authentic caregivers with
571
00:23:24,374 –> 00:23:27,134
the tools and training necessary to manage their own
572
00:23:27,134 –> 00:23:27,854
care homes,
573
00:23:28,054 –> 00:23:31,374
and Archangel investors in that real estate can feel
574
00:23:31,374 –> 00:23:34,334
secure both in their investment and their care teams.
575
00:23:34,654 –> 00:23:35,774
The care is genuine,
576
00:23:36,014 –> 00:23:37,134
the owners are local,
577
00:23:37,374 –> 00:23:39,214
and Archangel has Overwatch.
578
00:23:39,534 –> 00:23:41,694
If interested in this trailblazing opportunity,
579
00:23:41,934 –> 00:23:45,694
contact Archangel at 989-614.
580
00:23:46,254 –> 00:23:52,814
0416 That’s 989-614-0416.
581
00:23:53,214 –> 00:23:55,774
OK, now Karen,
582
00:23:55,774 –> 00:23:58,614
Karen and I calling each other up over the holiday,
583
00:23:58,894 –> 00:24:01,934
looking at this Blizzard of bullshit coming from the
584
00:24:02,374 –> 00:24:03,574
Again, you’re right,
585
00:24:04,014 –> 00:24:06,094
They don’t look at anything.
586
00:24:07,374 –> 00:24:08,414
No, they don’t.
587
00:24:09,054 –> 00:24:10,494
OK, so now we got like.
588
00:24:12,094 –> 00:24:14,734
Mayor Mike Duggan left the Democratic Party because
589
00:24:14,734 –> 00:24:15,574
he can’t win.
590
00:24:15,574 –> 00:24:17,214
He’s going to run as an independent,
591
00:24:17,454 –> 00:24:22,214
and he’s created a whole propaganda division of ex-media
592
00:24:22,214 –> 00:24:24,334
types that the public pays for.
593
00:24:25,214 –> 00:24:28,334
And the Blizzard story starts popping up unchallenged,
594
00:24:28,894 –> 00:24:29,614
unchallenged.
595
00:24:29,934 –> 00:24:30,814
So, for instance,
596
00:24:31,934 –> 00:24:38,094
in 2024, we had the fewest homicides since 1965.
597
00:24:38,414 –> 00:24:39,294
Come back,
598
00:24:39,294 –> 00:24:40,174
Detroit, OK?
599
00:24:41,854 –> 00:24:42,654
It’s everywhere.
600
00:24:43,534 –> 00:24:44,494
OK, right.
601
00:24:44,934 –> 00:24:45,414
Allegedly.
602
00:24:45,774 –> 00:24:46,574
You live in the cities.
603
00:24:46,574 –> 00:24:47,374
It feels safer.
604
00:24:48,174 –> 00:24:50,014
Why does what is it?
605
00:24:50,014 –> 00:24:50,734
Nerd wallet.
606
00:24:50,734 –> 00:24:51,454
Wallet hub.
607
00:24:51,574 –> 00:24:52,974
All the all these studies come out.
608
00:24:52,974 –> 00:24:55,694
It’s one of the most violent cities in America.
609
00:24:55,694 –> 00:24:58,494
It’s one of the hardest places to be employed in America.
610
00:24:58,854 –> 00:24:59,654
A quality of life.
611
00:24:59,654 –> 00:25:04,214
Why does that keep coming out when our media is pumping
612
00:25:04,254 –> 00:25:06,654
out what Duggan’s telling him is going on?
613
00:25:07,374 –> 00:25:08,334
Here’s here’s what I got.
614
00:25:08,334 –> 00:25:09,534
We’ll get a little breaking news here.
615
00:25:09,534 –> 00:25:11,214
A little breaking news.
616
00:25:16,694 –> 00:25:18,094
I’m going to give you a tease,
617
00:25:18,094 –> 00:25:19,214
ladies and gentlemen,
618
00:25:19,934 –> 00:25:22,014
all the media that listens to this show has to steal
619
00:25:22,014 –> 00:25:22,734
their ideas.
620
00:25:24,334 –> 00:25:26,014
Since Mike Duggan’s been in office,
621
00:25:26,734 –> 00:25:31,294
the Detroit police have told the public there have
622
00:25:31,294 –> 00:25:32,734
been 3000 homicides.
623
00:25:32,814 –> 00:25:34,814
That would be 300 a year.
624
00:25:35,774 –> 00:25:38,814
But I have the receipts and I have to hold back until
625
00:25:38,814 –> 00:25:39,934
everything’s tight.
626
00:25:40,694 –> 00:25:43,734
The mayor says 3000 homicides in the Detroit over the
627
00:25:43,734 –> 00:25:44,454
past decade.
628
00:25:45,534 –> 00:25:48,494
What if I told you the real number was 4000?
629
00:25:49,694 –> 00:25:50,974
That the mayor of Detroit,
630
00:25:51,214 –> 00:25:53,294
through statistical sleight of hand,
631
00:25:54,574 –> 00:25:56,494
has made 1000 bodies disappear?
632
00:25:56,494 –> 00:25:59,854
I believe that would be 25%
633
00:25:59,854 –> 00:26:04,774
of the bodies are not being counted or that the homicide
634
00:26:04,774 –> 00:26:06,214
rate is actually 33%
635
00:26:06,654 –> 00:26:08,974
higher, which is no victory at all.
636
00:26:09,614 –> 00:26:11,534
So Mike, I know you have people listening.
637
00:26:12,094 –> 00:26:13,454
You’ll be getting a phone call.
638
00:26:14,094 –> 00:26:16,654
The documents will be there and you’re going to answer
639
00:26:16,654 –> 00:26:18,414
for it because it’s bullshit.
640
00:26:19,134 –> 00:26:19,934
Not only that,
641
00:26:19,974 –> 00:26:21,454
what else has has he bullshitted?
642
00:26:21,614 –> 00:26:22,814
The population’s falling,
643
00:26:22,814 –> 00:26:23,934
the population.
644
00:26:23,934 –> 00:26:24,254
And I mean,
645
00:26:24,254 –> 00:26:25,134
again, he keeps saying,
646
00:26:25,134 –> 00:26:27,934
OK, the population has increased by 1500 people,
647
00:26:27,934 –> 00:26:31,694
but they fail to say that we lost 80,000 as it relates
648
00:26:31,694 –> 00:26:33,694
to population during his tenure,
649
00:26:33,694 –> 00:26:34,854
during his during his tenure,
650
00:26:35,254 –> 00:26:36,254
And so it’s.
651
00:26:36,894 –> 00:26:38,014
I mean, just everything.
652
00:26:38,014 –> 00:26:38,974
Like I’ve said before,
653
00:26:39,054 –> 00:26:40,014
under under his,
654
00:26:40,094 –> 00:26:41,054
under his tenure,
655
00:26:41,054 –> 00:26:42,654
the the water is colder,
656
00:26:42,654 –> 00:26:43,694
the grass is greener,
657
00:26:43,694 –> 00:26:44,734
the streets are safer,
658
00:26:44,734 –> 00:26:45,854
everybody’s employed.
659
00:26:46,214 –> 00:26:47,134
On one hand,
660
00:26:47,694 –> 00:26:48,774
black wealth is up,
661
00:26:48,774 –> 00:26:49,294
you know,
662
00:26:49,294 –> 00:26:50,334
in the billions,
663
00:26:50,414 –> 00:26:51,694
home ownership is up.
664
00:26:52,014 –> 00:26:53,934
Although then there’s another report that talks about
665
00:26:53,934 –> 00:26:56,174
the median income is lower.
666
00:26:56,414 –> 00:26:59,934
So it’s just let’s create this land of Oz.
667
00:27:00,654 –> 00:27:04,054
So that it lays the groundwork for his gubatorial campaign
668
00:27:04,054 –> 00:27:05,294
and nobody looks into it.
669
00:27:05,454 –> 00:27:05,934
They don’t.
670
00:27:05,934 –> 00:27:07,854
Yes, black wealth has increased.
671
00:27:07,854 –> 00:27:10,614
Everybody’s wealth has increased because of what happened
672
00:27:10,614 –> 00:27:11,294
to property,
673
00:27:12,014 –> 00:27:13,374
Because the hedge funds came in,
674
00:27:13,854 –> 00:27:15,054
drove up the price of houses,
675
00:27:15,294 –> 00:27:17,934
but black wealth has not increased.
676
00:27:18,574 –> 00:27:22,414
At the rate of the national average and unemployment,
677
00:27:22,414 –> 00:27:23,614
Charlie, I saw something other day.
678
00:27:23,614 –> 00:27:25,294
They were talking about all the promises that were
679
00:27:25,294 –> 00:27:28,814
made for businesses and for incentives that were given
680
00:27:28,814 –> 00:27:29,934
and the jobs never,
681
00:27:29,934 –> 00:27:30,974
never materialized.
682
00:27:30,974 –> 00:27:32,254
There’s no accountability there.
683
00:27:32,254 –> 00:27:33,454
Nobody talks about that.
684
00:27:33,694 –> 00:27:34,894
I mean, it’s just it’s.
685
00:27:35,214 –> 00:27:36,414
You call it a shit show.
686
00:27:36,414 –> 00:27:37,454
It’s a shuffle show.
687
00:27:37,614 –> 00:27:39,454
It’s just the it’s just a shell game.
688
00:27:39,934 –> 00:27:40,894
Arrests are down.
689
00:27:40,974 –> 00:27:42,814
Response times have not improved.
690
00:27:42,814 –> 00:27:43,934
They faked those.
691
00:27:44,174 –> 00:27:45,614
Remember in 2000,
692
00:27:45,614 –> 00:27:46,574
I think 18,
693
00:27:46,734 –> 00:27:50,334
the FBI refused this mayor’s crime statistics because
694
00:27:50,334 –> 00:27:52,014
they were so bullshit.
695
00:27:52,334 –> 00:27:55,854
It’ll all be known.
696
00:27:56,254 –> 00:27:57,374
I got a little more work to do,
697
00:27:57,374 –> 00:27:58,814
but I just couldn’t let that pass.
698
00:27:59,294 –> 00:28:00,974
Here’s another one about the propaganda.
699
00:28:01,134 –> 00:28:03,534
Hey, Ed, did you hear that Detroit?
700
00:28:03,534 –> 00:28:07,214
The New York Times has called Detroit one of the top
701
00:28:07,214 –> 00:28:10,894
52 destinations for 2025?
702
00:28:10,894 –> 00:28:11,534
Did you hear that?
703
00:28:13,534 –> 00:28:14,654
Everybody heard that.
704
00:28:14,894 –> 00:28:16,454
He made it up there.
705
00:28:16,454 –> 00:28:18,494
I was listening to sports radio this morning and they
706
00:28:18,494 –> 00:28:19,454
were talking about that.
707
00:28:19,454 –> 00:28:21,214
It’s unbelievable.
708
00:28:21,534 –> 00:28:22,414
Unbelievable.
709
00:28:22,494 –> 00:28:24,814
But let me tell you how this bullshit works.
710
00:28:24,974 –> 00:28:26,654
Haven’t been at the New York Times,
711
00:28:26,734 –> 00:28:28,494
haven’t been at the Detroit newspapers.
712
00:28:28,574 –> 00:28:29,294
Real simple.
713
00:28:29,454 –> 00:28:31,214
The mayor’s got a propaganda wing.
714
00:28:31,454 –> 00:28:32,894
They type up some notes.
715
00:28:33,374 –> 00:28:36,254
They have their PR people pitch them to the newspapers.
716
00:28:36,414 –> 00:28:38,934
Now, I’m not saying this nice young lady from the New
717
00:28:38,934 –> 00:28:41,054
York Times has never visited Detroit.
718
00:28:41,374 –> 00:28:42,974
I’m not saying she didn’t visit.
719
00:28:43,294 –> 00:28:48,654
These 52 destinations across the world and at a ripe
720
00:28:48,654 –> 00:28:50,654
age of 30 years old or whatever she is.
721
00:28:50,774 –> 00:28:51,934
I’m not saying she didn’t,
722
00:28:52,094 –> 00:28:56,334
but she must not have looked around because the abstract
723
00:28:56,334 –> 00:28:57,134
is, well,
724
00:28:57,854 –> 00:28:59,454
this is Detroit’s on the comeback.
725
00:28:59,454 –> 00:29:00,734
When you go there for this,
726
00:29:00,974 –> 00:29:01,294
you know,
727
00:29:01,294 –> 00:29:02,294
forget Santa Barbara,
728
00:29:02,294 –> 00:29:03,054
California,
729
00:29:03,214 –> 00:29:03,854
Detroit, MI.
730
00:29:04,654 –> 00:29:05,694
Forget New Orleans,
731
00:29:06,094 –> 00:29:06,694
Detroit, MI.
732
00:29:08,494 –> 00:29:10,174
Well, they got the new Gordie Howe Bridge.
733
00:29:10,814 –> 00:29:11,334
What are you going?
734
00:29:11,334 –> 00:29:15,374
You’re going to fly into Detroit to look at some off
735
00:29:15,374 –> 00:29:16,654
ramps from Canada.
736
00:29:16,974 –> 00:29:17,694
Oh, by the way,
737
00:29:17,694 –> 00:29:18,894
it’s not done.
738
00:29:19,214 –> 00:29:22,134
It’s four years behind schedule and it’s not going
739
00:29:22,134 –> 00:29:23,134
to open this year.
740
00:29:23,214 –> 00:29:23,974
But you can watch it.
741
00:29:24,334 –> 00:29:25,654
You can watch them build it.
742
00:29:26,134 –> 00:29:27,374
It’s going to be great.
743
00:29:27,854 –> 00:29:28,054
All right,
744
00:29:30,174 –> 00:29:33,334
Oh, we got the the train station has been rebuilt.
745
00:29:33,334 –> 00:29:33,814
That’s great.
746
00:29:33,814 –> 00:29:35,214
You can stare at that too.
747
00:29:35,374 –> 00:29:36,614
And maybe if you go there at night,
748
00:29:36,654 –> 00:29:38,814
you’ll realize nobody’s in the motherfucker.
749
00:29:39,854 –> 00:29:41,214
Now here’s the best one.
750
00:29:41,894 –> 00:29:47,374
What was the name of the park I Centennial Park named
751
00:29:47,894 –> 00:29:48,854
What’s what’s the name?
752
00:29:48,974 –> 00:29:50,774
What’s the name after that guy?
753
00:29:50,774 –> 00:29:52,654
Oh, I don’t know.
754
00:29:53,534 –> 00:29:54,494
I was talking to you yesterday.
755
00:29:54,494 –> 00:29:55,374
I know, and I forgot.
756
00:29:55,454 –> 00:29:55,934
I don’t know.
757
00:29:56,374 –> 00:29:58,454
OK, but it’s Centennial Park.
758
00:29:58,454 –> 00:29:59,134
It’s on the river.
759
00:30:00,974 –> 00:30:01,694
OK, it’s a white guy.
760
00:30:01,694 –> 00:30:02,694
Well, that’s good.
761
00:30:02,734 –> 00:30:03,334
You know, white guys.
762
00:30:03,334 –> 00:30:04,174
I didn’t say white.
763
00:30:04,214 –> 00:30:05,374
I said white guy.
764
00:30:07,694 –> 00:30:08,574
I’m so sensitive.
765
00:30:10,374 –> 00:30:11,214
I didn’t say I said what?
766
00:30:11,254 –> 00:30:11,774
Not white.
767
00:30:12,574 –> 00:30:14,974
One time I was writing a story.
768
00:30:14,974 –> 00:30:16,054
I was writing a story of,
769
00:30:16,174 –> 00:30:16,374
you know,
770
00:30:16,374 –> 00:30:18,494
I used to do a drinking column for the New York Times
771
00:30:18,494 –> 00:30:19,534
called Bending Elbows.
772
00:30:19,934 –> 00:30:22,534
And you just go everywhere you could where people are
773
00:30:22,534 –> 00:30:23,974
having a drink just to write about life.
774
00:30:24,174 –> 00:30:25,134
So I went up to Harlem,
775
00:30:25,134 –> 00:30:27,614
to the Barber shop where they pour nice,
776
00:30:27,774 –> 00:30:29,454
nice drinks and you get a haircut.
777
00:30:29,774 –> 00:30:30,574
And it was Harlem.
778
00:30:31,054 –> 00:30:35,454
And the only people of limited pigmentation in the
779
00:30:35,454 –> 00:30:36,414
place were me.
780
00:30:36,654 –> 00:30:37,054
And Eddie,
781
00:30:37,054 –> 00:30:38,014
the photographer.
782
00:30:38,654 –> 00:30:39,894
And all of a sudden we’re sitting there,
783
00:30:39,894 –> 00:30:40,334
we drink,
784
00:30:40,334 –> 00:30:41,134
everything’s cool.
785
00:30:41,574 –> 00:30:44,334
And a woman opens the door and starts screaming white
786
00:30:44,334 –> 00:30:46,174
man, white man.
787
00:30:47,374 –> 00:30:49,774
And everybody looks at me and Eddie and and the woman
788
00:30:49,774 –> 00:30:50,334
keeps yelling.
789
00:30:50,334 –> 00:30:51,454
She goes white van,
790
00:30:51,494 –> 00:30:51,974
white van.
791
00:30:52,094 –> 00:30:54,734
The the police are getting a white van.
792
00:30:56,334 –> 00:30:57,974
See the racial sensitivity,
793
00:31:01,709 –> 00:31:04,829
OK, so another great thing to do,
794
00:31:04,829 –> 00:31:06,269
says the New York Times,
795
00:31:08,029 –> 00:31:10,429
repeated by the Detroit Free Press,
796
00:31:10,429 –> 00:31:15,229
is you got to have to check out Lush Centennial Park
797
00:31:15,549 –> 00:31:20,309
with with the slides and the basketball stuff and
798
00:31:20,589 –> 00:31:24,189
and the water pond pool landscape.
799
00:31:24,349 –> 00:31:25,869
It’s lush.
800
00:31:26,069 –> 00:31:27,349
It’s amazing.
801
00:31:27,349 –> 00:31:29,149
Detroit, it’s a comeback.
802
00:31:30,829 –> 00:31:32,029
Unbelievable.
803
00:31:32,749 –> 00:31:33,309
And I’m like,
804
00:31:34,269 –> 00:31:35,629
what the hell is Centennial Park?
805
00:31:36,149 –> 00:31:37,349
I never heard of Centennial Park.
806
00:31:38,189 –> 00:31:40,029
OK, so I went to Centennial Park.
807
00:31:40,989 –> 00:31:41,709
Ironically,
808
00:31:41,709 –> 00:31:44,749
it’s where the old Detroit Free Press printing plant
809
00:31:44,749 –> 00:31:45,309
used to be.
810
00:31:45,389 –> 00:31:47,549
So you’d think the Detroit Free Press would go check
811
00:31:47,549 –> 00:31:48,189
out the park,
812
00:31:48,909 –> 00:31:50,189
So I checked out the park.
813
00:31:50,189 –> 00:31:52,109
Now if you’re listening,
814
00:31:52,589 –> 00:31:54,909
go to Enjoyer.
815
00:31:55,709 –> 00:31:57,469
No, this won’t be on the Enjoyer.
816
00:31:57,469 –> 00:31:59,309
Go to X, Charlie O’Duff on X,
817
00:31:59,309 –> 00:32:00,109
go to YouTube.
818
00:32:00,909 –> 00:32:01,709
Here it is.
819
00:32:01,869 –> 00:32:02,429
Oh, by the way,
820
00:32:02,429 –> 00:32:03,229
before you roll it,
821
00:32:03,229 –> 00:32:04,509
pause right there.
822
00:32:05,549 –> 00:32:06,269
Right there.
823
00:32:06,589 –> 00:32:08,469
Remember the frozen guy with his legs sticking out
824
00:32:08,669 –> 00:32:10,709
in the elevator shaft that I rode about like a decade
825
00:32:11,389 –> 00:32:12,429
That’s where he lived.
826
00:32:13,149 –> 00:32:14,589
And his shit’s still there.
827
00:32:14,589 –> 00:32:16,109
OK, but now here we go.
828
00:32:16,189 –> 00:32:19,149
Here comes beautiful Centennial Park.
829
00:32:21,629 –> 00:32:22,829
There’s a dumpster.
830
00:32:22,829 –> 00:32:24,109
OK, there’s a general.
831
00:32:24,109 –> 00:32:25,229
Oh, there’s a backhoe.
832
00:32:25,749 –> 00:32:27,869
There’s a couple of scraggly trees.
833
00:32:28,269 –> 00:32:30,349
There’s a sign saying coming soon.
834
00:32:30,669 –> 00:32:32,509
There’s mounds of dirt.
835
00:32:32,909 –> 00:32:33,669
Do not enter.
836
00:32:33,669 –> 00:32:35,069
There’s hurricane fencing,
837
00:32:35,069 –> 00:32:37,149
traffic barriers.
838
00:32:41,229 –> 00:32:42,349
Well, there’s that’s a porta John,
839
00:32:42,509 –> 00:32:43,269
All right,
840
00:32:43,309 –> 00:32:45,949
so that’s a construction trailers.
841
00:32:46,429 –> 00:32:47,189
There’s piping.
842
00:32:47,189 –> 00:32:48,749
There’s another earth mover.
843
00:32:49,789 –> 00:32:51,389
There’s there’s mud.
844
00:32:51,549 –> 00:32:52,029
There’s water.
845
00:32:52,589 –> 00:32:53,389
Well, that’s Canada,
846
00:32:53,789 –> 00:32:54,829
Looks like it will be a park.
847
00:32:55,549 –> 00:32:56,029
Yeah, that’s.
848
00:32:56,029 –> 00:32:56,589
You know what,
849
00:32:57,789 –> 00:32:58,189
Look at that.
850
00:32:58,189 –> 00:32:59,029
Look at that dumpster,
851
00:32:59,149 –> 00:33:00,109
Come to Detroit.
852
00:33:00,349 –> 00:33:02,029
And look at this mound of dirt.
853
00:33:03,669 –> 00:33:04,989
It’s gonna be great.
854
00:33:05,709 –> 00:33:06,629
OK, wait for it.
855
00:33:06,629 –> 00:33:07,309
Don’t wait for it.
856
00:33:07,309 –> 00:33:08,989
There’s the bear slide.
857
00:33:09,189 –> 00:33:10,429
I think they got the bear slide up.
858
00:33:11,069 –> 00:33:12,429
More construction trailers.
859
00:33:13,309 –> 00:33:14,069
Wait for it,
860
00:33:15,309 –> 00:33:16,109
You’re gonna love this.
861
00:33:17,629 –> 00:33:18,429
Hold on a second.
862
00:33:18,429 –> 00:33:18,989
Here it comes.
863
00:33:19,229 –> 00:33:19,949
Wait for it.
864
00:33:19,949 –> 00:33:23,789
Yep, there’s a pile of telephone poles on me.
865
00:33:24,109 –> 00:33:26,829
Let’s plan a vacation around that.
866
00:33:27,109 –> 00:33:28,909
But see, that’s the challenge with Detroit.
867
00:33:28,909 –> 00:33:31,149
There’s it’s never been created as a destination.
868
00:33:31,149 –> 00:33:32,749
You go to Las Vegas to gamble,
869
00:33:32,749 –> 00:33:34,349
you go to Chicago to shop,
870
00:33:34,349 –> 00:33:34,829
you go to,
871
00:33:34,909 –> 00:33:35,229
you know,
872
00:33:35,629 –> 00:33:36,989
So when you come to Detroit,
873
00:33:37,149 –> 00:33:39,789
and I remember being around the table in these conversations,
874
00:33:39,789 –> 00:33:42,989
everybody had a different idea about what Detroit
875
00:33:42,989 –> 00:33:43,949
was supposed to be.
876
00:33:44,269 –> 00:33:46,149
And it just there was never a consensus.
877
00:33:46,149 –> 00:33:49,629
So there was never a concerted effort to to to market
878
00:33:49,629 –> 00:33:50,429
it in a certain way.
879
00:33:50,429 –> 00:33:51,869
So now it’s just all over the place.
880
00:33:52,749 –> 00:33:53,149
Yeah, you know,
881
00:33:53,549 –> 00:33:55,709
let me be really clear about this.
882
00:33:56,829 –> 00:33:58,029
I love this place.
883
00:33:58,109 –> 00:33:59,949
My people founded this place.
884
00:33:59,949 –> 00:34:02,029
I moved back to this place.
885
00:34:02,349 –> 00:34:04,589
So don’t take this as negative,
886
00:34:05,229 –> 00:34:06,509
My point is,
887
00:34:07,069 –> 00:34:08,429
with this bullshit,
888
00:34:08,429 –> 00:34:10,189
you’re not helping us.
889
00:34:10,349 –> 00:34:14,349
When 1000 homicide victims have gone missing,
890
00:34:14,989 –> 00:34:18,389
each one of those numbers is a human with veins and
891
00:34:18,389 –> 00:34:22,029
family and a and a heart and dreams and aspirations.
892
00:34:22,149 –> 00:34:23,069
And to be ignored,
893
00:34:23,309 –> 00:34:24,349
to be conned,
894
00:34:25,949 –> 00:34:27,149
Revenues have gone down.
895
00:34:27,149 –> 00:34:30,989
We gave it all to the rich man and then and we’re going
896
00:34:30,989 –> 00:34:32,989
to run out of pension money in a year and a half.
897
00:34:32,989 –> 00:34:33,629
Ed, you know that,
898
00:34:35,269 –> 00:34:36,229
No, I hadn’t heard that.
899
00:34:36,229 –> 00:34:37,349
Detroit went bankrupt.
900
00:34:37,349 –> 00:34:38,589
We did the grand bargain.
901
00:34:38,589 –> 00:34:41,469
Detroit didn’t have to pay its pensions for 10 years,
902
00:34:42,509 –> 00:34:43,949
Now we have to pay for them.
903
00:34:44,669 –> 00:34:51,469
We put $450 million aside and every year it’s $150
904
00:34:51,549 –> 00:34:52,669
million in pensions.
905
00:34:53,309 –> 00:34:54,509
So after three years,
906
00:34:54,509 –> 00:34:55,789
you run out of pension money.
907
00:34:56,589 –> 00:34:58,469
And with the revenue shrinking in the city,
908
00:34:58,469 –> 00:34:59,629
where do we get that?
909
00:34:59,949 –> 00:35:02,509
Do you see why Mike Duggan is abandoning Detroit now?
910
00:35:02,669 –> 00:35:04,029
The bombs gonna go off.
911
00:35:04,269 –> 00:35:06,309
There’s going to be a financial unraveling and that’s
912
00:35:06,309 –> 00:35:07,629
what people have to they’re not.
913
00:35:07,629 –> 00:35:08,189
And Charlie,
914
00:35:08,189 –> 00:35:08,909
I agree with you.
915
00:35:08,909 –> 00:35:10,429
Nobody loves this city more than me,
916
00:35:10,429 –> 00:35:11,789
but I love this city for what?
917
00:35:11,789 –> 00:35:12,509
No, I love it more.
918
00:35:13,789 –> 00:35:14,549
I think I love it more.
919
00:35:14,549 –> 00:35:15,869
I love it enough to live here.
920
00:35:15,869 –> 00:35:16,509
How about that?
921
00:35:16,589 –> 00:35:16,989
Yeah, well,
922
00:35:17,069 –> 00:35:17,949
I can’t afford it.
923
00:35:18,109 –> 00:35:18,749
OK, well, yeah,
924
00:35:19,989 –> 00:35:23,349
But but but people have to understand.
925
00:35:23,349 –> 00:35:26,069
I mean, I loved it for what it was and I loved it for
926
00:35:26,069 –> 00:35:26,909
what it wasn’t.
927
00:35:27,069 –> 00:35:30,269
But I don’t want to be sold a basket of goods about
928
00:35:30,269 –> 00:35:33,469
things when I see a different Detroit every day.
929
00:35:33,709 –> 00:35:34,349
Let’s tell,
930
00:35:34,589 –> 00:35:34,829
you know,
931
00:35:34,829 –> 00:35:36,909
let’s talk about what it is and let’s talk about what
932
00:35:36,909 –> 00:35:38,829
is not and what we have to do to get there.
933
00:35:39,069 –> 00:35:39,789
Like painting a,
934
00:35:39,949 –> 00:35:40,269
you know,
935
00:35:40,269 –> 00:35:42,909
painting a pig yellow doesn’t make it a duck.
936
00:35:43,309 –> 00:35:45,629
And I don’t like the whole misleading thing.
937
00:35:45,629 –> 00:35:46,149
I mean, wait a minute.
938
00:35:46,149 –> 00:35:46,749
Wait a minute there.
939
00:35:48,669 –> 00:35:49,469
You’re a farmer,
940
00:35:50,989 –> 00:35:52,269
If you paint a pig yellow,
941
00:35:52,429 –> 00:35:53,469
does that make it a duck?
942
00:35:55,309 –> 00:35:56,589
Only if it starts quacking,
943
00:35:56,589 –> 00:36:00,269
we may be able to teach it to quack.
944
00:36:00,589 –> 00:36:03,469
I mean, should they be allowed to use the women’s bathroom?
945
00:36:05,309 –> 00:36:07,109
OK, I’m sorry,
946
00:36:07,149 –> 00:36:07,589
continue.
947
00:36:07,589 –> 00:36:08,029
That’s OK,
948
00:36:08,429 –> 00:36:11,309
But you get what I’m saying and and it’s it’s I I’d
949
00:36:11,309 –> 00:36:12,189
rather have,
950
00:36:12,189 –> 00:36:12,589
you know,
951
00:36:12,589 –> 00:36:15,389
the the rough around the edge and the work in progress
952
00:36:15,469 –> 00:36:19,309
than to be sold a bag of of of BS about what the city
953
00:36:19,309 –> 00:36:22,429
is when I live it and I see it and it’s not that every
954
00:36:22,429 –> 00:36:23,629
day, not just for me,
955
00:36:23,869 –> 00:36:25,189
but for the people who are here.
956
00:36:25,549 –> 00:36:27,349
You know, and you’ve got people that have come in and
957
00:36:27,349 –> 00:36:28,149
they buy into,
958
00:36:28,269 –> 00:36:28,589
you know,
959
00:36:28,589 –> 00:36:30,589
the downtown and old Detroit is this.
960
00:36:30,909 –> 00:36:31,469
And it’s not.
961
00:36:31,509 –> 00:36:33,749
And let me be liberal about it.
962
00:36:33,749 –> 00:36:35,229
Remember my liberal friends,
963
00:36:35,229 –> 00:36:36,029
what liberal was?
964
00:36:36,749 –> 00:36:38,589
I’m for solid,
965
00:36:39,229 –> 00:36:40,189
incremental,
966
00:36:40,749 –> 00:36:42,429
sustainable growth.
967
00:36:43,229 –> 00:36:44,429
Now what we did,
968
00:36:44,429 –> 00:36:45,549
my old liberal friends,
969
00:36:46,029 –> 00:36:52,269
is we gave rich men our few nickels and they slapped
970
00:36:52,269 –> 00:36:53,069
up drywall.
971
00:36:53,789 –> 00:36:55,069
And since the Lions are good,
972
00:36:55,069 –> 00:36:56,669
everybody says it’s a comeback.
973
00:36:57,029 –> 00:36:59,069
All the police are taken out of the neighborhoods to
974
00:36:59,069 –> 00:37:01,069
make it cool for you to be here.
975
00:37:01,229 –> 00:37:02,029
And it is cool.
976
00:37:02,349 –> 00:37:04,429
But the Ford family,
977
00:37:04,429 –> 00:37:05,709
we we paid,
978
00:37:06,029 –> 00:37:07,029
we paid for that arena.
979
00:37:07,029 –> 00:37:08,109
They like to say they paid for.
980
00:37:08,109 –> 00:37:09,949
They like to say they redid the train station.
981
00:37:10,029 –> 00:37:10,749
They didn’t.
982
00:37:11,229 –> 00:37:12,229
They did in part,
983
00:37:12,829 –> 00:37:13,869
but we did as well.
984
00:37:13,949 –> 00:37:15,149
And there’s nothing for us.
985
00:37:15,629 –> 00:37:18,669
So here’s the irony of all ironies,
986
00:37:19,149 –> 00:37:20,109
Zuckerberg.
987
00:37:20,989 –> 00:37:22,029
The Facebook guy,
988
00:37:22,109 –> 00:37:23,029
the Facebook owner,
989
00:37:23,029 –> 00:37:23,789
old Zucky,
990
00:37:25,629 –> 00:37:27,389
was censoring this show,
991
00:37:27,389 –> 00:37:28,189
as you remember,
992
00:37:28,349 –> 00:37:30,949
because we would talk truth about COVID,
993
00:37:30,949 –> 00:37:31,949
the election,
994
00:37:32,109 –> 00:37:34,709
politics and you know,
995
00:37:34,709 –> 00:37:38,429
all the snakey liberals in the media and you know,
996
00:37:38,509 –> 00:37:39,629
in the deep state.
997
00:37:40,189 –> 00:37:41,749
He even he even told it,
998
00:37:41,749 –> 00:37:42,429
he told everybody,
999
00:37:42,749 –> 00:37:44,109
pressured him to censor people,
1000
00:37:44,309 –> 00:37:45,069
which would be us.
1001
00:37:45,469 –> 00:37:46,869
Well, he’s had a change of heart.
1002
00:37:46,869 –> 00:37:49,709
This what he he said yesterday about his.
1003
00:37:50,269 –> 00:37:51,469
Fact checkers.
1004
00:37:52,029 –> 00:37:54,589
After Trump first got elected in 2016,
1005
00:37:54,909 –> 00:37:58,349
the legacy media wrote non-stop about how misinformation
1006
00:37:58,349 –> 00:37:59,629
was a threat to democracy.
1007
00:38:00,269 –> 00:38:02,949
We tried in good faith to address those concerns without
1008
00:38:02,949 –> 00:38:04,749
becoming the arbiters of truth.
1009
00:38:05,429 –> 00:38:07,629
But the fact checkers have just been too politically
1010
00:38:07,629 –> 00:38:10,189
biased and have destroyed more trust than they’ve
1011
00:38:10,189 –> 00:38:12,749
created, especially in the US What do you say?
1012
00:38:12,989 –> 00:38:17,069
The fact checkers that we hired were biased and they
1013
00:38:17,069 –> 00:38:18,669
spread more distrust.
1014
00:38:19,269 –> 00:38:21,469
Then, OK, so the question would be,
1015
00:38:22,269 –> 00:38:23,069
in America,
1016
00:38:23,229 –> 00:38:27,549
who was Facebook’s fact checkers that they paid copious
1017
00:38:27,549 –> 00:38:29,949
amounts of money to Fact Check the public?
1018
00:38:30,909 –> 00:38:34,109
Well, one of them was USA Today,
1019
00:38:35,989 –> 00:38:37,149
Which is the Free Press,
1020
00:38:39,069 –> 00:38:42,789
So what did Zuckerberg just tell you about your hometown
1021
00:38:42,789 –> 00:38:43,389
newspaper,
1022
00:38:43,549 –> 00:38:45,109
the biggest newspaper in the state of Michigan?
1023
00:38:45,549 –> 00:38:47,069
They’re biased and they’re.
1024
00:38:47,149 –> 00:38:47,749
Corrosive.
1025
00:38:48,309 –> 00:38:51,189
And they can’t get off their ass and go see if this
1026
00:38:51,189 –> 00:38:53,589
fucking park is built right.
1027
00:38:54,269 –> 00:38:56,869
They they it’s it’s got to stop.
1028
00:38:56,869 –> 00:38:57,909
Or if eggs cost more.
1029
00:38:58,869 –> 00:39:00,069
Or yeah, right.
1030
00:39:00,069 –> 00:39:02,349
You know, I am so sick at of like,
1031
00:39:02,349 –> 00:39:04,709
OK, all the political corruption and lassing and good.
1032
00:39:04,709 –> 00:39:06,989
OK, so we got some Republicans looking into stuff.
1033
00:39:07,189 –> 00:39:07,669
That’s good.
1034
00:39:07,829 –> 00:39:08,869
The nursing homes,
1035
00:39:09,109 –> 00:39:11,349
the the grift in the attorney general’s office.
1036
00:39:13,869 –> 00:39:15,269
They’re so embroiled in,
1037
00:39:15,749 –> 00:39:15,949
you know,
1038
00:39:15,949 –> 00:39:17,149
like the Chatfield scandal.
1039
00:39:17,149 –> 00:39:18,989
They didn’t write a thing about him until he was out
1040
00:39:18,989 –> 00:39:19,909
two years later,
1041
00:39:21,549 –> 00:39:22,549
Or Whitmer’s pal,
1042
00:39:22,549 –> 00:39:25,229
who got the $20 million for a company that didn’t
1043
00:39:25,229 –> 00:39:27,909
exist until two weeks after she got the $20 million.
1044
00:39:28,469 –> 00:39:29,589
OK, that’s great.
1045
00:39:29,949 –> 00:39:32,229
But I wish the media would pay attention to,
1046
00:39:32,229 –> 00:39:36,229
like, really important things like water,
1047
00:39:36,549 –> 00:39:36,789
you know,
1048
00:39:36,789 –> 00:39:38,549
like Flint before the deal went through,
1049
00:39:38,789 –> 00:39:41,349
or like mowing the trees down up north,
1050
00:39:41,429 –> 00:39:43,349
or the price of eggs.
1051
00:39:45,109 –> 00:39:46,229
The serious shit.
1052
00:39:48,509 –> 00:39:49,749
Or even water here in Detroit.
1053
00:39:49,749 –> 00:39:51,149
Charlie, remember there was a question.
1054
00:39:51,149 –> 00:39:52,869
They were sending out letters and there was a question
1055
00:39:52,869 –> 00:39:55,109
about lead composition in the water.
1056
00:39:55,429 –> 00:39:56,549
And, you know,
1057
00:39:56,549 –> 00:39:57,269
they came out and said,
1058
00:39:57,269 –> 00:39:58,149
oh, everything’s fine.
1059
00:39:58,149 –> 00:39:59,909
It’s as good as it used to be.
1060
00:40:00,149 –> 00:40:01,509
OK, but what did it used to be?
1061
00:40:01,509 –> 00:40:02,949
And then everybody stopped talking about it.
1062
00:40:02,949 –> 00:40:03,589
So what happened?
1063
00:40:03,829 –> 00:40:04,269
Yeah, you know,
1064
00:40:04,269 –> 00:40:05,229
in the middle of bankruptcy,
1065
00:40:05,269 –> 00:40:06,749
the whole water system changed.
1066
00:40:07,189 –> 00:40:08,229
So we’re bankrupt.
1067
00:40:08,629 –> 00:40:10,869
And this scheming and conniving is going on,
1068
00:40:10,909 –> 00:40:12,629
which leads to the Flint poisoning.
1069
00:40:12,789 –> 00:40:16,229
So always watch with it’s skeething and conniving these
1070
00:40:16,949 –> 00:40:17,669
You know what I mean?
1071
00:40:17,989 –> 00:40:21,229
So which that’s sort of the Trump effect,
1072
00:40:21,229 –> 00:40:23,309
what what Zuckerberg did,
1073
00:40:23,349 –> 00:40:25,349
because why Zuckerberg really did it.
1074
00:40:25,909 –> 00:40:27,029
Everybody’s got the gasses.
1075
00:40:27,109 –> 00:40:28,389
Here’s really why he did it.
1076
00:40:29,029 –> 00:40:32,229
Because censorship is sweeping the world.
1077
00:40:33,029 –> 00:40:34,149
Pavel Durov,
1078
00:40:34,309 –> 00:40:35,069
the founder,
1079
00:40:35,069 –> 00:40:36,149
the Russian founder of.
1080
00:40:38,069 –> 00:40:39,109
Telegraph.
1081
00:40:39,549 –> 00:40:41,509
It’s a big social media platform.
1082
00:40:41,749 –> 00:40:43,829
France wanted him to censor it and what was on it.
1083
00:40:43,829 –> 00:40:44,549
He didn’t do it.
1084
00:40:44,709 –> 00:40:46,709
They arrested him on the tarmac in Paris.
1085
00:40:47,669 –> 00:40:49,509
Elon Musk pulled everybody,
1086
00:40:49,749 –> 00:40:52,589
everybody from X out of Brazil for fear of arrest
1087
00:40:52,869 –> 00:40:56,789
because they did not comply with the censorship requirements
1088
00:40:56,789 –> 00:40:58,189
laid down by the Supreme Court.
1089
00:40:58,629 –> 00:41:04,109
So Meta, which is the parent company of Facebook and
1090
00:41:04,109 –> 00:41:04,949
Instagram,
1091
00:41:06,229 –> 00:41:06,709
is one of the.
1092
00:41:07,429 –> 00:41:08,989
7 largest stocks in the world.
1093
00:41:09,749 –> 00:41:11,669
So in order to make this thing go,
1094
00:41:11,909 –> 00:41:14,669
Zuckerberg is going to sidle up to Trump.
1095
00:41:15,029 –> 00:41:17,189
Trump’s going to use the pressure of the United States
1096
00:41:17,189 –> 00:41:19,349
market to get these people in line.
1097
00:41:19,429 –> 00:41:21,149
That that’s what it’s about.
1098
00:41:21,509 –> 00:41:22,309
And don’t forget,
1099
00:41:22,549 –> 00:41:25,109
Zuckerberg kicked Trump off of his platform.
1100
00:41:25,189 –> 00:41:26,469
So that’s,
1101
00:41:26,549 –> 00:41:26,789
you know,
1102
00:41:26,789 –> 00:41:27,389
he’s, you know,
1103
00:41:27,389 –> 00:41:29,509
and Trump said he’s going after everybody that came
1104
00:41:29,509 –> 00:41:30,069
after him.
1105
00:41:30,069 –> 00:41:33,629
So now he’s got a line up under Elon Musk and Trump.
1106
00:41:33,629 –> 00:41:34,829
Let me Fact Check that with Mark.
1107
00:41:34,829 –> 00:41:36,509
Did did Trump get tossed off a fake?
1108
00:41:36,509 –> 00:41:36,949
I know he got.
1109
00:41:37,269 –> 00:41:37,869
I believe he did.
1110
00:41:37,869 –> 00:41:38,909
Yeah, he did.
1111
00:41:41,669 –> 00:41:43,909
The president of the United States.
1112
00:41:44,029 –> 00:41:45,509
And it turns out that shit was right.
1113
00:41:45,629 –> 00:41:47,189
And the fact checkers were wrong.
1114
00:41:47,349 –> 00:41:49,709
And the New York Times is not giving back its Pulitzer
1115
00:41:49,709 –> 00:41:51,589
Prizes for the Russia hoax.
1116
00:41:52,749 –> 00:41:53,509
And here we are.
1117
00:41:54,549 –> 00:41:56,469
And and and stop with the bullshit.
1118
00:41:56,469 –> 00:41:58,149
Because if you came to Detroit,
1119
00:41:58,149 –> 00:41:59,589
you would notice no park there.
1120
00:41:59,749 –> 00:42:01,029
The bridge isn’t done.
1121
00:42:02,869 –> 00:42:04,269
What else is the Trump effect?
1122
00:42:04,269 –> 00:42:04,749
What else?
1123
00:42:04,749 –> 00:42:05,349
I’ll tell you.
1124
00:42:05,709 –> 00:42:06,469
Did you notice?
1125
00:42:07,269 –> 00:42:08,309
Claudia Scheinbaum,
1126
00:42:08,309 –> 00:42:10,149
the new president of Mexico,
1127
00:42:10,309 –> 00:42:13,429
is now going to cooperate and take all the illegal
1128
00:42:13,429 –> 00:42:15,749
migrants back that we we pushed back over there.
1129
00:42:16,709 –> 00:42:18,949
I I guess she someone whispered in her ear.
1130
00:42:19,429 –> 00:42:20,629
You’re not big enough yet.
1131
00:42:20,629 –> 00:42:22,709
You haven’t stolen enough of our factories yet.
1132
00:42:22,869 –> 00:42:24,069
You still need our market.
1133
00:42:24,309 –> 00:42:25,429
Do it or you’re done.
1134
00:42:25,789 –> 00:42:26,389
What else?
1135
00:42:28,429 –> 00:42:29,389
Vladimir Zelinsky.
1136
00:42:29,389 –> 00:42:30,069
You know what?
1137
00:42:31,269 –> 00:42:34,389
Peace negotiations might be a good idea all of a sudden.
1138
00:42:34,389 –> 00:42:35,069
What do you think of that,
1139
00:42:36,229 –> 00:42:36,549
You think?
1140
00:42:37,349 –> 00:42:39,669
Well, cause he’s there’s no money coming anyway,
1141
00:42:39,669 –> 00:42:41,669
so it’s his last last resort.
1142
00:42:43,909 –> 00:42:47,589
What about the Rotherham rape scandal?
1143
00:42:47,589 –> 00:42:48,629
Yeah, I didn’t know about this one.
1144
00:42:48,629 –> 00:42:49,469
You told me about this one.
1145
00:42:49,469 –> 00:42:50,309
You didn’t know.
1146
00:42:50,309 –> 00:42:53,829
OK, I read a book during my time out last year called
1147
00:42:53,909 –> 00:42:55,909
The Strange Death of Europe.
1148
00:42:55,949 –> 00:42:56,709
Amazing book.
1149
00:42:56,709 –> 00:42:59,429
And it’s really about the mass.
1150
00:43:00,389 –> 00:43:04,949
Migrant wave that came in and there were two big things.
1151
00:43:04,949 –> 00:43:09,589
One was it was British Pakistani sex ring and they
1152
00:43:09,589 –> 00:43:14,069
had abused like 1400 girls,
1153
00:43:15,029 –> 00:43:18,149
And the town knew about it all this time and the media
1154
00:43:18,309 –> 00:43:19,349
was complicit.
1155
00:43:19,829 –> 00:43:23,309
They didn’t want to bring up what could potentially
1156
00:43:23,309 –> 00:43:26,309
be construed as racist things or bring.
1157
00:43:29,109 –> 00:43:31,389
A shadow on the reputation of this town and what we
1158
00:43:31,509 –> 00:43:33,749
So meantime,
1159
00:43:36,709 –> 00:43:37,829
12 year old girls,
1160
00:43:37,829 –> 00:43:38,789
16 year old girls,
1161
00:43:38,789 –> 00:43:39,669
13 year old girls,
1162
00:43:40,149 –> 00:43:42,549
you let them just be victims for a decade.
1163
00:43:43,269 –> 00:43:44,389
What’s it got to do with race?
1164
00:43:44,389 –> 00:43:45,629
It’s nothing to do with race.
1165
00:43:45,829 –> 00:43:46,869
Immigration’s fine.
1166
00:43:47,029 –> 00:43:47,909
Vet the people.
1167
00:43:48,229 –> 00:43:49,669
You don’t just let them storm through.
1168
00:43:51,709 –> 00:43:55,109
On New Year’s Eve 2016 in Germany,
1169
00:43:55,109 –> 00:43:56,309
mostly in Cologne,
1170
00:43:57,029 –> 00:43:58,469
1200 women were raped.
1171
00:43:59,589 –> 00:44:03,189
In town squares and for weeks,
1172
00:44:05,029 –> 00:44:08,109
nobody wanted to report that they were newly arrived
1173
00:44:08,109 –> 00:44:10,389
refugees from North Africa.
1174
00:44:12,229 –> 00:44:12,949
I don’t know why,
1175
00:44:13,549 –> 00:44:14,549
North Africans are great.
1176
00:44:14,549 –> 00:44:15,029
They’ve been in,
1177
00:44:15,189 –> 00:44:19,149
they’ve been in Germany since after the war.
1178
00:44:19,149 –> 00:44:20,629
I mean, they’ve been in France forever.
1179
00:44:20,629 –> 00:44:21,869
I mean, that’s not the issue.
1180
00:44:23,669 –> 00:44:25,189
You know, you’re not going to let.
1181
00:44:26,149 –> 00:44:27,269
The Hell’s Angels come in,
1182
00:44:27,269 –> 00:44:27,509
you know,
1183
00:44:27,509 –> 00:44:30,229
from California and set up a meth shop.
1184
00:44:32,309 –> 00:44:34,869
So that’s now out there.
1185
00:44:35,029 –> 00:44:38,389
There’s a reckoning coming in Europe about what you’re
1186
00:44:38,389 –> 00:44:41,029
doing and what this woke bullshit is.
1187
00:44:41,029 –> 00:44:42,069
And you know what I mean?
1188
00:44:43,229 –> 00:44:43,989
Devastating.
1189
00:44:44,389 –> 00:44:45,349
And then, of course,
1190
00:44:48,189 –> 00:44:48,869
there’s Greenland,
1191
00:44:49,589 –> 00:44:51,029
Panama and Canada.
1192
00:44:51,749 –> 00:44:52,869
Now let me tell you about Greenland.
1193
00:44:53,269 –> 00:44:54,429
We’re not taking Greenland,
1194
00:44:55,909 –> 00:45:01,589
Greenland plus Canada plus Alaska plus Norway gives
1195
00:45:01,589 –> 00:45:04,309
us more of the Arctic Circle than Russia who’s trying
1196
00:45:04,309 –> 00:45:04,949
to take it.
1197
00:45:05,349 –> 00:45:07,029
And with ice caps melting,
1198
00:45:07,589 –> 00:45:09,989
that’s a new shipping lane right across the North
1199
00:45:09,989 –> 00:45:11,829
Pole, which was never accessible.
1200
00:45:13,109 –> 00:45:15,429
Canada’s the biggest deadbeat in NATO.
1201
00:45:16,709 –> 00:45:22,869
Denmark, which is basically the the colonizer of Greenland.
1202
00:45:22,869 –> 00:45:24,229
They go back 1000 years,
1203
00:45:27,909 –> 00:45:30,029
Canada and Denmark are the two biggest deadbeats in
1204
00:45:30,869 –> 00:45:31,389
They don’t.
1205
00:45:31,429 –> 00:45:32,229
They don’t pay,
1206
00:45:33,509 –> 00:45:36,069
So Trump rightly says,
1207
00:45:36,149 –> 00:45:36,829
hey, Greenland,
1208
00:45:37,069 –> 00:45:37,669
we’re going to buy you.
1209
00:45:37,669 –> 00:45:38,709
We’re not buying them.
1210
00:45:39,189 –> 00:45:44,909
But the Inuit people got self sovereignty if they want
1211
00:45:45,029 –> 00:45:47,749
In 2009, they can vote to leave Denmark.
1212
00:45:47,909 –> 00:45:50,189
Denmark is one of the richest nations in the world.
1213
00:45:50,229 –> 00:45:51,029
It’s about this big.
1214
00:45:52,429 –> 00:45:54,589
Greenland is one of the poorest nations in the world
1215
00:45:54,589 –> 00:45:55,909
and it’s gigantic.
1216
00:45:55,989 –> 00:46:00,389
So they get raped by Denmark and Denmark sends a couple
1217
00:46:00,389 –> 00:46:01,029
nickels back.
1218
00:46:01,509 –> 00:46:03,669
So what I think what Trump’s doing is,
1219
00:46:04,069 –> 00:46:04,869
and how do I know this?
1220
00:46:05,029 –> 00:46:08,229
Cause I used to live in a commune in Copenhagen,
1221
00:46:08,229 –> 00:46:10,709
Denmark, where everybody lived there.
1222
00:46:10,709 –> 00:46:11,029
And I’m like,
1223
00:46:11,389 –> 00:46:11,749
look at it,
1224
00:46:12,109 –> 00:46:12,709
There’s Eskimo,
1225
00:46:12,709 –> 00:46:13,149
dude, man,
1226
00:46:13,149 –> 00:46:14,189
these guys are big.
1227
00:46:14,189 –> 00:46:15,429
These guys are nuts.
1228
00:46:15,429 –> 00:46:16,189
Like, you know what?
1229
00:46:16,189 –> 00:46:19,109
It’s sort of like if the Lakota nation,
1230
00:46:19,109 –> 00:46:20,549
right, the Sioux Indians.
1231
00:46:22,869 –> 00:46:25,829
Had all of the United States and all the rest of us
1232
00:46:25,829 –> 00:46:26,949
lived in New York City.
1233
00:46:27,429 –> 00:46:29,109
That’s kind of the relationship,
1234
00:46:29,509 –> 00:46:29,789
you know?
1235
00:46:29,789 –> 00:46:30,189
And I’m like,
1236
00:46:33,123 –> 00:46:34,163
How is this possible?
1237
00:46:34,163 –> 00:46:34,643
So, you know,
1238
00:46:34,643 –> 00:46:35,243
Trump sees it,
1239
00:46:35,243 –> 00:46:35,683
which is,
1240
00:46:35,923 –> 00:46:38,883
look, we can’t have the Chinese and Russian boats
1241
00:46:39,043 –> 00:46:41,283
going around Greenland #2.
1242
00:46:41,443 –> 00:46:42,883
Greenland’s got a lot of minerals.
1243
00:46:42,963 –> 00:46:43,963
We can do a deal.
1244
00:46:43,963 –> 00:46:44,803
We’re not going to rape them.
1245
00:46:44,803 –> 00:46:46,403
We’ll come buy them #3.
1246
00:46:48,003 –> 00:46:50,083
Europe’s not getting its natural gas from Russia anymore
1247
00:46:50,083 –> 00:46:53,323
because of what they did in the Ukraine.
1248
00:46:53,323 –> 00:46:57,443
And it’s really expensive to ship liquefied natural
1249
00:46:57,443 –> 00:46:59,283
gas across the Atlantic.
1250
00:46:59,603 –> 00:47:01,003
But if you just look NE,
1251
00:47:01,003 –> 00:47:02,963
there’s Greenland.
1252
00:47:02,963 –> 00:47:05,363
You could actually do a pipeline to there and then
1253
00:47:05,363 –> 00:47:07,923
you could create a port and then ship it.
1254
00:47:08,003 –> 00:47:11,123
It’s much shorter distance and then ship it to Europe.
1255
00:47:11,123 –> 00:47:12,243
You need to be a cabinet member,
1256
00:47:13,443 –> 00:47:14,883
I actually know this stuff.
1257
00:47:15,363 –> 00:47:17,203
You know, I Panama Canal,
1258
00:47:17,203 –> 00:47:19,603
everybody knows if you pay attention to the new Silk
1259
00:47:19,603 –> 00:47:22,043
Road that the Chinese are building around the the
1260
00:47:22,043 –> 00:47:23,363
world for trade.
1261
00:47:23,763 –> 00:47:25,603
You knew they were busy in Panama.
1262
00:47:25,843 –> 00:47:28,563
You knew they were building the the high speed rail
1263
00:47:28,883 –> 00:47:30,963
You knew they were building the bridge over the the
1264
00:47:30,963 –> 00:47:31,843
Panama Canal.
1265
00:47:32,243 –> 00:47:35,443
You knew that if you just had been anywhere or paid
1266
00:47:35,443 –> 00:47:36,243
any attention.
1267
00:47:36,483 –> 00:47:37,723
So rightly so.
1268
00:47:37,723 –> 00:47:39,163
We’re not going to take the Panama Canal,
1269
00:47:39,163 –> 00:47:39,923
but here’s the deal.
1270
00:47:40,563 –> 00:47:43,923
No more Chinese construction firms and we get a discount.
1271
00:47:46,763 –> 00:47:48,403
I’m not really against that.
1272
00:47:49,123 –> 00:47:51,043
I don’t not too sure a lot of people would be,
1273
00:47:51,523 –> 00:47:54,323
I mean, but I guess I was thinking too,
1274
00:47:54,323 –> 00:47:57,203
when he talks about taking back the Panama,
1275
00:47:57,283 –> 00:47:58,083
the Panama Canal,
1276
00:47:58,083 –> 00:48:02,923
what does that say as the former President Jimmy Carter
1277
00:48:02,923 –> 00:48:03,923
lies in repose?
1278
00:48:04,163 –> 00:48:06,643
I mean, because wasn’t he the one that gave it back
1279
00:48:07,443 –> 00:48:08,323
He gave it back to him.
1280
00:48:08,323 –> 00:48:09,683
One of his biggest mistakes.
1281
00:48:10,483 –> 00:48:11,363
Why did he do it,
1282
00:48:13,923 –> 00:48:14,723
Well, I mean,
1283
00:48:14,723 –> 00:48:15,603
in my opinion,
1284
00:48:15,763 –> 00:48:16,563
and I think you’re.
1285
00:48:17,123 –> 00:48:18,723
Cracking this nut a little bit right now,
1286
00:48:18,723 –> 00:48:19,763
Charlie, is that,
1287
00:48:20,163 –> 00:48:20,563
you know,
1288
00:48:20,883 –> 00:48:26,003
people of America and our leadership bought into some
1289
00:48:26,003 –> 00:48:27,683
of these globalist ideas that,
1290
00:48:27,923 –> 00:48:28,123
you know,
1291
00:48:28,123 –> 00:48:32,643
America needed to atone for past indiscretions and
1292
00:48:32,643 –> 00:48:36,963
and needed to make bad deals and take the bad end
1293
00:48:36,963 –> 00:48:38,643
of the deals because,
1294
00:48:38,643 –> 00:48:39,803
hey, we’re the big guys,
1295
00:48:39,803 –> 00:48:40,643
we’ve got more money.
1296
00:48:40,643 –> 00:48:43,643
We should be sorry for our position and kind of give
1297
00:48:43,643 –> 00:48:44,803
away the the farm.
1298
00:48:45,123 –> 00:48:46,723
And Jimmy Carter was.
1299
00:48:47,643 –> 00:48:49,043
A part of that at some times.
1300
00:48:49,043 –> 00:48:49,763
And his, I mean,
1301
00:48:49,763 –> 00:48:50,923
he did some good things too.
1302
00:48:50,923 –> 00:48:53,523
I’m not trying to besmirch the recently gone,
1303
00:48:53,523 –> 00:48:55,683
but that was a big mistake.
1304
00:48:55,683 –> 00:48:57,843
He shouldn’t have done that with the Panama Canal.
1305
00:48:57,843 –> 00:49:00,883
It was not in America’s best long-term interests.
1306
00:49:01,603 –> 00:49:05,203
It was in the best interests of globalists and and
1307
00:49:05,203 –> 00:49:06,163
other countries.
1308
00:49:06,163 –> 00:49:07,283
And it was a big mistake.
1309
00:49:07,283 –> 00:49:08,003
We shouldn’t have done it.
1310
00:49:08,083 –> 00:49:08,563
Well, look,
1311
00:49:08,603 –> 00:49:09,843
I mean here,
1312
00:49:10,163 –> 00:49:12,083
Panama has no military,
1313
00:49:12,243 –> 00:49:13,763
none, no standing army.
1314
00:49:13,843 –> 00:49:15,123
We’re their military.
1315
00:49:15,283 –> 00:49:16,323
So we get to pay for that.
1316
00:49:16,883 –> 00:49:19,443
Denmark, one of the biggest deadbeats in NATO,
1317
00:49:19,443 –> 00:49:20,883
one of the original signatories,
1318
00:49:20,883 –> 00:49:21,443
by the way,
1319
00:49:21,683 –> 00:49:22,643
one of the 1st 12,
1320
00:49:23,683 –> 00:49:27,363
has basically no army to speak of.
1321
00:49:27,603 –> 00:49:32,083
And the Canadians have an army that is collapsing,
1322
00:49:33,363 –> 00:49:36,483
So when Trump says to Trudeau,
1323
00:49:36,483 –> 00:49:37,443
Governor Trudeau.
1324
00:49:38,723 –> 00:49:40,963
We got $100 billion in the trade deficit.
1325
00:49:40,963 –> 00:49:42,563
That means you’re dumping your milk on us.
1326
00:49:42,563 –> 00:49:44,163
You’re subsidizing your timber.
1327
00:49:44,243 –> 00:49:45,523
That’s against NAFTA.
1328
00:49:45,843 –> 00:49:47,603
Plus your your your dollars,
1329
00:49:47,763 –> 00:49:49,283
$0.70 to our dollar.
1330
00:49:49,683 –> 00:49:53,203
So when you produce in Canadian dollars already your
1331
00:49:53,203 –> 00:49:54,243
price is 30%
1332
00:49:55,203 –> 00:49:56,403
So we’re we’re gonna stop that.
1333
00:49:56,403 –> 00:49:57,363
We don’t need your timber.
1334
00:49:57,363 –> 00:49:58,243
We don’t need your milk.
1335
00:49:58,923 –> 00:49:59,323
Right, right.
1336
00:49:59,323 –> 00:50:00,003
Dairy farmer,
1337
00:50:00,243 –> 00:50:01,083
we don’t need their milk.
1338
00:50:02,883 –> 00:50:03,763
So when they say,
1339
00:50:03,923 –> 00:50:04,363
hey, well,
1340
00:50:04,723 –> 00:50:05,963
it’s gonna drive prices up,
1341
00:50:06,003 –> 00:50:08,563
everybody seems to forget they bought into the globalist.
1342
00:50:08,803 –> 00:50:10,003
Which is, yeah,
1343
00:50:10,483 –> 00:50:12,203
but the wage goes down too.
1344
00:50:12,203 –> 00:50:13,363
When your price goes down,
1345
00:50:13,363 –> 00:50:14,403
your wage goes down.
1346
00:50:15,203 –> 00:50:16,003
Unbelievable.
1347
00:50:16,403 –> 00:50:20,123
So now, and then there’s another 100 billion that we
1348
00:50:20,123 –> 00:50:21,363
subsidize them in the military.
1349
00:50:21,363 –> 00:50:23,363
They don’t have any military and they won’t patrol
1350
00:50:24,003 –> 00:50:24,723
the Arctic Circle.
1351
00:50:24,723 –> 00:50:25,483
They won’t patrol it.
1352
00:50:26,003 –> 00:50:31,043
So Trudeau’s out on his ass and for an expert look,
1353
00:50:31,123 –> 00:50:31,763
there he is.
1354
00:50:32,083 –> 00:50:33,683
Eat cake, eat cake.
1355
00:50:36,043 –> 00:50:37,923
What a what a ponce this guy is.
1356
00:50:38,443 –> 00:50:40,483
What a He destroyed Canada.
1357
00:50:40,723 –> 00:50:44,483
And who better to explain it than our friend from Voices
1358
00:50:44,483 –> 00:50:45,603
of North America,
1359
00:50:45,923 –> 00:50:46,643
Vinnie Limo.
1360
00:50:46,643 –> 00:50:47,843
Is Vinnie Limo out there?
1361
00:50:51,763 –> 00:50:54,483
He changed.
1362
00:50:55,443 –> 00:50:56,043
OK, listen,
1363
00:50:56,043 –> 00:50:57,283
if you’re listening to the podcast,
1364
00:50:57,283 –> 00:50:58,283
you totally got to,
1365
00:50:58,283 –> 00:51:01,283
like, just go online and look at look at the OG right
1366
00:51:01,603 –> 00:51:05,363
Give me the while Vinnie tries to figure out his his
1367
00:51:05,403 –> 00:51:05,763
microphone.
1368
00:51:05,763 –> 00:51:06,643
Here’s here’s a little.
1369
00:51:07,763 –> 00:51:08,643
No, we can’t hear him.
1370
00:51:10,163 –> 00:51:12,203
Vinny said he’s gonna pick us up at the train station
1371
00:51:12,243 –> 00:51:12,963
in a limo,
1372
00:51:13,603 –> 00:51:14,323
but he didn’t.
1373
00:51:14,883 –> 00:51:16,083
What we got was Vinny.
1374
00:51:18,803 –> 00:51:20,803
Pimp hat, silver cane,
1375
00:51:21,043 –> 00:51:22,163
Fu Manchu,
1376
00:51:22,403 –> 00:51:24,003
Ruby Ring on the right hand,
1377
00:51:24,163 –> 00:51:26,323
his left arm contorted like a chicken wing.
1378
00:51:27,323 –> 00:51:28,043
I’m here to get the limo.
1379
00:51:28,043 –> 00:51:28,883
He sent the limo home.
1380
00:51:29,443 –> 00:51:31,203
No, not my limo guy.
1381
00:51:31,363 –> 00:51:33,323
I got a feeling this whole thing is going to end up
1382
00:51:33,323 –> 00:51:34,803
with me on the train on the way better.
1383
00:51:34,963 –> 00:51:37,523
I think you were right.
1384
00:51:38,963 –> 00:51:40,843
OK, Vin, you got the you got the microphone up?
1385
00:51:40,843 –> 00:51:43,683
Yeah, you can hear me.
1386
00:51:43,683 –> 00:51:44,643
Just Jack it up,
1387
00:51:44,923 –> 00:51:46,163
We’ll take whatever we can get.
1388
00:51:46,483 –> 00:51:47,203
Crank up the volume.
1389
00:51:47,323 –> 00:51:48,643
Can you hear me?
1390
00:51:48,963 –> 00:51:49,483
Keep going.
1391
00:51:51,283 –> 00:51:51,923
OK, hold on.
1392
00:51:52,523 –> 00:51:53,123
Can you hear me?
1393
00:51:53,283 –> 00:51:53,923
Little bit better.
1394
00:51:53,923 –> 00:51:54,643
A little bit more.
1395
00:51:54,883 –> 00:51:55,443
Little bit more.
1396
00:51:56,803 –> 00:51:57,403
Can you hear me?
1397
00:51:58,083 –> 00:51:59,043
Wait, put it back up.
1398
00:52:01,283 –> 00:52:01,843
Put it back up,
1399
00:52:04,163 –> 00:52:04,963
Forget the echo.
1400
00:52:04,963 –> 00:52:06,483
We know you’re on Planet Canada.
1401
00:52:06,803 –> 00:52:09,963
Yeah, I know.
1402
00:52:09,963 –> 00:52:10,923
I’m thousands of miles away.
1403
00:52:11,043 –> 00:52:12,683
We’re about 708 hundred.
1404
00:52:13,283 –> 00:52:13,963
Don’t touch nothing.
1405
00:52:13,963 –> 00:52:14,323
It’s penny.
1406
00:52:14,803 –> 00:52:15,363
I don’t always.
1407
00:52:16,003 –> 00:52:20,043
I don’t always dress like that hilarious person I wasn’t
1408
00:52:20,043 –> 00:52:20,923
that you just showed.
1409
00:52:21,283 –> 00:52:23,523
I dress elegantly as I could.
1410
00:52:24,963 –> 00:52:26,443
So I thought that was Ellie.
1411
00:52:26,483 –> 00:52:27,203
Wait a minute.
1412
00:52:27,523 –> 00:52:28,563
You’re elegant then.
1413
00:52:28,563 –> 00:52:29,323
You’re elegant now.
1414
00:52:29,323 –> 00:52:30,003
What are you doing?
1415
00:52:30,803 –> 00:52:32,083
No, no, I was.
1416
00:52:32,243 –> 00:52:35,363
I was kind of going to go with the narrative last time,
1417
00:52:35,923 –> 00:52:36,123
you know,
1418
00:52:36,483 –> 00:52:38,443
to make that thing funny because it was supposed to
1419
00:52:38,443 –> 00:52:39,523
be a funny pilot.
1420
00:52:40,003 –> 00:52:40,883
You know, I knew that.
1421
00:52:41,123 –> 00:52:42,963
I could sensitize what you were saying.
1422
00:52:42,963 –> 00:52:43,643
So I did that.
1423
00:52:43,643 –> 00:52:44,923
All right,
1424
00:52:44,923 –> 00:52:45,923
Vinny, what’s going on with you,
1425
00:52:46,083 –> 00:52:46,363
though, man?
1426
00:52:46,363 –> 00:52:47,603
What did he do to your country?
1427
00:52:47,763 –> 00:52:48,723
Are you glad he’s gone?
1428
00:52:50,163 –> 00:52:51,083
He’s not gone.
1429
00:52:51,083 –> 00:52:52,163
That’s the whole problem.
1430
00:52:52,163 –> 00:52:53,603
He’s still Prime Minister.
1431
00:52:54,003 –> 00:52:55,443
He’s still Prime Minister.
1432
00:52:55,683 –> 00:52:56,483
He’s still.
1433
00:52:57,123 –> 00:52:59,043
In charge of the party until he gets,
1434
00:52:59,043 –> 00:53:00,163
until they vote him out.
1435
00:53:00,843 –> 00:53:01,843
And he’s holding,
1436
00:53:02,283 –> 00:53:05,843
he’s holding the country hostage to hold onto his
1437
00:53:07,363 –> 00:53:09,843
He’s doing that by proroguing empowerment,
1438
00:53:10,083 –> 00:53:12,883
which means he basically closed down parliament,
1439
00:53:13,283 –> 00:53:14,803
made it, you know,
1440
00:53:15,123 –> 00:53:16,003
null and void.
1441
00:53:16,323 –> 00:53:19,083
So he’s still Prime Minister.
1442
00:53:19,083 –> 00:53:22,243
Everybody’s under the fucking illusion that he’s gone.
1443
00:53:22,243 –> 00:53:23,043
He’s not gone.
1444
00:53:23,443 –> 00:53:25,283
OK, but he’s going to be gone.
1445
00:53:27,203 –> 00:53:29,203
Well, even if they vote him in,
1446
00:53:29,403 –> 00:53:30,563
what he’s trying to do,
1447
00:53:31,043 –> 00:53:35,043
if people if people listen to what Ezra Levant said
1448
00:53:35,043 –> 00:53:35,683
the other day,
1449
00:53:37,043 –> 00:53:37,883
what he’s doing,
1450
00:53:37,883 –> 00:53:40,163
he’s trying to pull a Macron type thing.
1451
00:53:40,323 –> 00:53:44,163
He’s trying to get his Chinese friends to to buy him
1452
00:53:44,163 –> 00:53:46,083
ridings and everything.
1453
00:53:46,323 –> 00:53:49,203
And so he wants to make a consortium so we can hold
1454
00:53:49,203 –> 00:53:50,683
power as long as possible.
1455
00:53:50,883 –> 00:53:54,443
And that’s the problem with the Westminister parliamentary
1456
00:53:56,483 –> 00:53:57,603
You know, when you have that,
1457
00:53:57,603 –> 00:53:58,883
it’s not like the states.
1458
00:53:59,123 –> 00:54:01,043
You don’t vote for the individual here.
1459
00:54:01,283 –> 00:54:03,603
You vote for the party like in France.
1460
00:54:03,763 –> 00:54:04,403
Well, let me,
1461
00:54:04,483 –> 00:54:06,083
let me, let me explain it for people.
1462
00:54:06,323 –> 00:54:07,563
So basically it goes like this.
1463
00:54:08,483 –> 00:54:10,643
He can call an election anytime he wants,
1464
00:54:10,803 –> 00:54:12,763
but there is a hard deadline when he’s got to call
1465
00:54:12,963 –> 00:54:14,163
That would be this October.
1466
00:54:14,483 –> 00:54:17,483
So what he’s doing is if he steps down his prime.
1467
00:54:17,603 –> 00:54:18,203
The minister,
1468
00:54:18,603 –> 00:54:21,803
the Liberal Party still in power and they have a new
1469
00:54:21,803 –> 00:54:22,763
leader, right?
1470
00:54:23,083 –> 00:54:24,683
So that gives you some time.
1471
00:54:24,683 –> 00:54:27,043
He’s not going to call the next election now cause
1472
00:54:27,043 –> 00:54:27,563
they’ll lose,
1473
00:54:27,803 –> 00:54:31,403
but it gives them till October to try to do something,
1474
00:54:32,603 –> 00:54:33,563
That’s how it works there.
1475
00:54:33,563 –> 00:54:36,363
Ours is the election date is set period now.
1476
00:54:36,363 –> 00:54:37,243
But here’s the thing,
1477
00:54:37,243 –> 00:54:38,923
Vin, he’s not popular.
1478
00:54:39,803 –> 00:54:43,163
He let in a half a million immigrants a year if if
1479
00:54:44,043 –> 00:54:45,163
my friend’s listening.
1480
00:54:45,563 –> 00:54:49,563
Canada’s population is about a 10th of the size of
1481
00:54:49,563 –> 00:54:50,443
the United States.
1482
00:54:50,763 –> 00:54:52,203
So what you’re saying is,
1483
00:54:53,363 –> 00:54:57,163
imagine 5 million people a year being led into the
1484
00:54:57,163 –> 00:54:57,963
United States.
1485
00:54:58,603 –> 00:54:59,803
Not very well vetted.
1486
00:54:59,803 –> 00:55:01,083
Is that one of the complaints,
1487
00:55:02,843 –> 00:55:05,323
Yeah, the buses are full of immigrants.
1488
00:55:05,643 –> 00:55:06,563
The people are tight.
1489
00:55:07,083 –> 00:55:07,843
But the problem is.
1490
00:55:08,483 –> 00:55:11,003
They’re pointing to all these results of Trudeau,
1491
00:55:11,243 –> 00:55:14,043
but they’re not pointing to the root problem of Canada’s
1492
00:55:14,603 –> 00:55:16,443
Why he can do stuff like that.
1493
00:55:16,643 –> 00:55:17,643
What the guy done,
1494
00:55:17,963 –> 00:55:20,363
he’s he’s stacked the Senate.
1495
00:55:20,683 –> 00:55:23,163
Canadians cannot vote for their senators.
1496
00:55:23,403 –> 00:55:25,563
They cannot vote for the local judges.
1497
00:55:25,723 –> 00:55:28,843
So when you got those two things on your side,
1498
00:55:28,843 –> 00:55:29,643
any party,
1499
00:55:31,563 –> 00:55:32,683
they you you’ll Vitti,
1500
00:55:32,683 –> 00:55:33,083
Vitti, Vitti,
1501
00:55:33,083 –> 00:55:33,563
Vitti, Vitti,
1502
00:55:33,563 –> 00:55:35,603
Vitti, we we don’t need a civics lesson.
1503
00:55:35,603 –> 00:55:36,523
We need a need.
1504
00:55:37,083 –> 00:55:40,363
If if we’re going to absorb Canada as the 51st state,
1505
00:55:40,523 –> 00:55:43,003
we we got to need to know what we’re getting here.
1506
00:55:44,323 –> 00:55:45,323
What about housing?
1507
00:55:47,323 –> 00:55:49,403
OK, the housing is really bad.
1508
00:55:50,363 –> 00:55:53,723
They’re trying to kick senior citizens out to make
1509
00:55:53,723 –> 00:55:57,283
room for his on the public housing on the sides of
1510
00:55:57,283 –> 00:55:57,723
the trucks.
1511
00:55:58,203 –> 00:56:01,643
The program called it to arrive in French means new
1512
00:56:01,643 –> 00:56:02,283
arrivals.
1513
00:56:03,003 –> 00:56:04,283
They they kick the.
1514
00:56:05,243 –> 00:56:06,043
Out where I live,
1515
00:56:06,283 –> 00:56:10,043
they kicked one of the food banks out that was serving
1516
00:56:10,043 –> 00:56:13,723
30,000 people in order to make room for one immigrant
1517
00:56:14,363 –> 00:56:15,563
You go on the buses,
1518
00:56:15,803 –> 00:56:16,843
they’re so crowded.
1519
00:56:17,243 –> 00:56:19,243
They’re more crowded now than when you were here.
1520
00:56:19,723 –> 00:56:22,843
I mean, they’re like rolling sardine cans.
1521
00:56:23,563 –> 00:56:24,443
So here’s the thing,
1522
00:56:24,443 –> 00:56:25,963
what happened to Canada under Trudeau,
1523
00:56:26,963 –> 00:56:29,003
Plus all of his taxes and everything is ridiculous.
1524
00:56:29,883 –> 00:56:32,843
If Canada was to become the 51st state in the union,
1525
00:56:32,923 –> 00:56:36,523
do you know where it would rank on household income?
1526
00:56:39,483 –> 00:56:42,123
49th, 49th.
1527
00:56:42,523 –> 00:56:46,683
Canada would be the third poorest state in the United
1528
00:56:47,483 –> 00:56:48,603
That’s what’s happened to Canada.
1529
00:56:48,603 –> 00:56:49,803
I don’t think people know that.
1530
00:56:50,643 –> 00:56:51,123
Isn’t that right,
1531
00:56:55,323 –> 00:56:56,203
Not only that,
1532
00:56:56,203 –> 00:56:59,403
they don’t have to become the 51st state.
1533
00:56:59,803 –> 00:57:00,403
They could have a,
1534
00:57:00,923 –> 00:57:01,963
they could keep the,
1535
00:57:02,523 –> 00:57:06,283
keep their king history and all that and just change,
1536
00:57:06,443 –> 00:57:07,883
tweak the system a little bit,
1537
00:57:07,883 –> 00:57:10,203
make it more Republican in nature where the people
1538
00:57:10,203 –> 00:57:12,043
get power and everything.
1539
00:57:12,283 –> 00:57:14,283
But they probably don’t want to do that.
1540
00:57:14,283 –> 00:57:14,883
He don’t want to,
1541
00:57:15,083 –> 00:57:16,523
he don’t want to give you your rights.
1542
00:57:16,683 –> 00:57:19,203
He don’t want to let you vote for senators because
1543
00:57:19,203 –> 00:57:21,323
they want to appoint him the same as the other one.
1544
00:57:21,323 –> 00:57:22,283
It’s a power game.
1545
00:57:22,443 –> 00:57:23,403
OK, listen,
1546
00:57:23,483 –> 00:57:25,083
listen, what even needed a.
1547
00:57:25,723 –> 00:57:28,323
OK, with the constitutional law over here,
1548
00:57:28,323 –> 00:57:31,603
what I’m trying to say is why is it we have twice
1549
00:57:31,603 –> 00:57:35,243
as many encounters with people on the terror watch
1550
00:57:35,243 –> 00:57:38,203
list coming from Canada than we do from Mexico?
1551
00:57:39,963 –> 00:57:42,483
Because he sided with all the Soros.
1552
00:57:42,483 –> 00:57:44,043
Soros is open border.
1553
00:57:44,283 –> 00:57:49,083
He sided with all that and he wants to get that immigrant
1554
00:57:49,083 –> 00:57:50,443
vote, you know,
1555
00:57:50,883 –> 00:57:53,163
and he he sides with the LGBT,
1556
00:57:53,483 –> 00:57:54,603
all the smaller groups.
1557
00:57:55,003 –> 00:57:57,363
And he does that to divide the people.
1558
00:57:57,803 –> 00:57:59,083
Cause when you divide,
1559
00:57:59,083 –> 00:57:59,883
it’s like Roman.
1560
00:58:00,283 –> 00:58:01,483
Rome fell.
1561
00:58:01,483 –> 00:58:02,363
You know your history.
1562
00:58:02,363 –> 00:58:03,323
You know about history.
1563
00:58:03,323 –> 00:58:05,483
Rome fell because of multiculturalism.
1564
00:58:05,643 –> 00:58:07,643
Look what happened in France last year.
1565
00:58:08,043 –> 00:58:10,963
You know, you crowded with the other people and it
1566
00:58:11,283 –> 00:58:12,723
it destroys your society.
1567
00:58:12,843 –> 00:58:14,803
Well, let let me talk here.
1568
00:58:14,803 –> 00:58:16,843
Multiculturalism is a good thing.
1569
00:58:17,243 –> 00:58:19,563
The blood flowing through me is multicultural.
1570
00:58:20,523 –> 00:58:21,163
It’s just.
1571
00:58:22,363 –> 00:58:23,323
Human beings are made.
1572
00:58:23,323 –> 00:58:26,203
They are if it’s too much of one thing all at once,
1573
00:58:27,363 –> 00:58:27,883
And you want,
1574
00:58:27,963 –> 00:58:28,323
you want,
1575
00:58:28,843 –> 00:58:29,963
you want good people.
1576
00:58:30,603 –> 00:58:33,843
So let’s just make this clear before we get the,
1577
00:58:34,363 –> 00:58:34,763
you know,
1578
00:58:35,403 –> 00:58:37,403
rants that we’re like,
1579
00:58:37,643 –> 00:58:37,963
you know,
1580
00:58:38,683 –> 00:58:42,203
you’ve you sent me to see the immigrants that come
1581
00:58:42,203 –> 00:58:43,163
that started business.
1582
00:58:43,643 –> 00:58:45,563
The problem is they don’t vet the bad ones.
1583
00:58:45,563 –> 00:58:46,963
Like you, like you said,
1584
00:58:47,003 –> 00:58:48,683
the terrorists are coming across.
1585
00:58:49,003 –> 00:58:50,883
Not every immigrant is a terrorist.
1586
00:58:50,883 –> 00:58:52,443
We got a lot of good ones here too,
1587
00:58:52,843 –> 00:58:54,763
but they come here the legal way.
1588
00:58:55,003 –> 00:58:57,003
Yeah, Vinny was upset about it,
1589
00:58:57,243 –> 00:58:58,843
He was upset about all the immigration.
1590
00:58:58,843 –> 00:58:59,243
I go, well,
1591
00:58:59,243 –> 00:59:01,243
let’s do a blanket here.
1592
00:59:01,643 –> 00:59:04,603
So Vinny actually got in his car and decided to introduce
1593
00:59:04,603 –> 00:59:07,163
himself to immigrants around Canada.
1594
00:59:07,723 –> 00:59:09,123
And he reported back to me,
1595
00:59:09,123 –> 00:59:10,523
they’re really cool.
1596
00:59:10,763 –> 00:59:12,043
Restaurants are nice,
1597
00:59:12,123 –> 00:59:13,163
hardworking,
1598
00:59:13,323 –> 00:59:13,963
you know what I mean?
1599
00:59:14,043 –> 00:59:15,443
So his yeah,
1600
00:59:15,483 –> 00:59:16,763
yeah, she said.
1601
00:59:16,963 –> 00:59:17,603
And then that’s.
1602
00:59:17,763 –> 00:59:20,043
But that’s the advantage of people connecting with
1603
00:59:20,043 –> 00:59:21,963
people that they otherwise just have a perception
1604
00:59:21,963 –> 00:59:23,563
about on all levels.
1605
00:59:23,603 –> 00:59:27,323
I mean, we sit back and make a guesstimate about who
1606
00:59:27,323 –> 00:59:29,883
people are as opposed to going up and trying to find
1607
00:59:29,883 –> 00:59:32,603
out who they are themselves or for ourselves.
1608
00:59:32,763 –> 00:59:35,643
So those people are under actions,
1609
00:59:35,763 –> 00:59:37,363
not just as a stereotype.
1610
00:59:37,883 –> 00:59:40,083
OK, Vidi, we got about 5 seconds here.
1611
00:59:40,083 –> 00:59:41,523
Where can people find your work?
1612
00:59:41,723 –> 00:59:43,163
The the VNA network.
1613
00:59:44,603 –> 00:59:47,083
Well, we’re on WDGB.
1614
00:59:47,643 –> 00:59:50,443
You know, we’ve been broadcasting here more,
1615
00:59:51,643 –> 00:59:52,883
but we OK,
1616
00:59:52,883 –> 00:59:54,043
it’s it’s a huge.
1617
00:59:54,763 –> 00:59:55,163
Where do they,
1618
00:59:55,203 –> 00:59:55,963
where do they find you?
1619
00:59:55,963 –> 00:59:56,763
Give me, give me,
1620
00:59:56,763 –> 00:59:56,923
you know,
1621
00:59:56,923 –> 00:59:58,203
give me a quick on Twitter.
1622
00:59:58,923 –> 01:00:02,883
On Twitter mostly you’ll see at VNA candidate usa@gmail.com.
1623
01:00:04,763 –> 01:00:09,563
OK, so at VNA you go to VNA and all things Vinny shall
1624
01:00:09,563 –> 01:00:10,443
be revealed,
1625
01:00:12,283 –> 01:00:14,443
And they censor you up there in Canada anyway.
1626
01:00:14,443 –> 01:00:16,843
So that’s another thing Trudeau did.
1627
01:00:16,923 –> 01:00:18,043
So does he want you?
1628
01:00:18,123 –> 01:00:20,883
Do you want Canada to become the 51st state of of the
1629
01:00:20,883 –> 01:00:21,923
United States under Trump?
1630
01:00:22,763 –> 01:00:23,403
Yeah, he does.
1631
01:00:23,403 –> 01:00:23,883
You know why?
1632
01:00:23,883 –> 01:00:25,723
Cause then he’s allowed back in the United States.
1633
01:00:27,523 –> 01:00:29,003
A lot of people do.
1634
01:00:30,043 –> 01:00:32,603
But I don’t believe Canada needs to go that far.
1635
01:00:32,843 –> 01:00:35,003
They could just tweak some things within their own
1636
01:00:35,003 –> 01:00:36,923
system and give the people the power,
1637
01:00:37,163 –> 01:00:38,523
let them vote for senators.
1638
01:00:39,003 –> 01:00:41,403
You know, the problem is they don’t want to do that
1639
01:00:41,403 –> 01:00:42,923
because they love the appointments.
1640
01:00:42,923 –> 01:00:44,203
They love stacking the deck,
1641
01:00:44,203 –> 01:00:45,843
the conservatives and the liberals both.
1642
01:00:47,083 –> 01:00:50,043
OK, a convoy wouldn’t even happen if they had the right
1643
01:00:50,043 –> 01:00:50,803
just to say no,
1644
01:00:50,803 –> 01:00:52,043
like the Americans did.
1645
01:00:52,763 –> 01:00:54,043
You know, they wouldn’t let us in.
1646
01:00:54,043 –> 01:00:54,603
That’s the problem.
1647
01:00:54,603 –> 01:00:55,243
No rights here.
1648
01:00:55,323 –> 01:00:56,043
Wouldn’t let us in.
1649
01:00:56,043 –> 01:00:56,603
No rights.
1650
01:00:57,083 –> 01:00:57,443
All right,
1651
01:00:57,963 –> 01:00:59,003
Senator Ed Mcbroom.
1652
01:00:59,003 –> 01:00:59,763
Thanks for your time,
1653
01:00:59,763 –> 01:01:00,283
my brother.
1654
01:01:02,243 –> 01:01:02,923
Vinny Limo.
1655
01:01:03,243 –> 01:01:03,603
Thank you,
1656
01:01:04,363 –> 01:01:07,243
No, this is every Canadian’s mad as me.
1657
01:01:07,643 –> 01:01:08,203
I’m half and half.
1658
01:01:08,203 –> 01:01:09,163
I’m half American,
1659
01:01:09,163 –> 01:01:09,763
half Canadian.
1660
01:01:09,763 –> 01:01:11,243
I’ve never seen a mad Canadian.
1661
01:01:11,243 –> 01:01:12,403
They’re always so nice.
1662
01:01:13,483 –> 01:01:14,443
Well, when they get mad,
1663
01:01:14,443 –> 01:01:16,603
they’re you ever see them on the hockey rink?
1664
01:01:17,563 –> 01:01:17,883
Well, yeah,
1665
01:01:18,683 –> 01:01:20,163
that’s like when you get mad.
1666
01:01:20,163 –> 01:01:21,163
That’s a stereotype.
1667
01:01:25,603 –> 01:01:26,363
Or on D-Day,
1668
01:01:26,363 –> 01:01:27,563
they were pretty mad too.
1669
01:01:29,243 –> 01:01:30,203
You know, I really don’t.
1670
01:01:31,643 –> 01:01:32,363
I wasn’t alive.
1671
01:01:32,523 –> 01:01:33,123
Yeah, I wasn’t alive.
1672
01:01:33,163 –> 01:01:34,123
No, you weren’t around then.
1673
01:01:34,523 –> 01:01:34,763
All right,
1674
01:01:34,763 –> 01:01:35,843
man, we’ll talk to you guys.
1675
01:01:36,203 –> 01:01:37,123
We’ll see you all next week.
1676
01:01:38,363 –> 01:01:38,683
All right,
1677
01:01:39,083 –> 01:01:39,963
Thanks for having me on.
1678
01:01:40,243 –> 01:01:40,843
For sure, man.
1679
01:01:42,603 –> 01:01:43,403
Here’s the limo.
