Who’s just at breaking his double or bullshit?
20
00:01:16,320 –> 00:01:17,120
Double or bullshit?
21
00:01:18,160 –> 00:01:18,640

At 989-614-0416 XG hit me.
37
00:01:58,960 –> 00:01:59,400
Well, you know,
38
00:01:59,400 –> 00:02:00,000
when it rains,
39
00:02:00,000 –> 00:02:01,000
the power goes out.
40
00:02:01,000 –> 00:02:02,160
When the power goes out,
41
00:02:02,160 –> 00:02:03,120
the Internet goes out.
42
00:02:03,120 –> 00:02:04,160
When the Internet goes out,
43
00:02:04,160 –> 00:02:07,360
I call my friend Matt and Bernie at XG Service Group.
44
00:02:07,520 –> 00:02:10,000
Look at Bernie here on his hands and knees giving it

everything he’s got.
46
00:02:11,440 –> 00:02:12,640
Look at that man crack.
47
00:02:14,480 –> 00:02:15,520
He forgot to wear a belt.
48
00:02:15,520 –> 00:02:17,600
There’s Matt right there getting the board together.
49
00:02:17,600 –> 00:02:20,320

You got restaurants.

No BS in the news,
64
00:02:50,520 –> 00:02:54,880
The No BS News Hour presents What’s bullshit in the
65
00:02:56,320 –> 00:03:05,200
I’m going to tell you what’s bullshit in the news.
66
00:03:05,200 –> 00:03:09,280
Everybody’s hearing about USAID,
67
00:03:11,040 –> 00:03:13,840
United States Agency for International Development.
68
00:03:14,000 –> 00:03:16,600
Everybody thinks when there’s a famine,
69
00:03:16,600 –> 00:03:17,920
they’re delivering rice.
70
00:03:18,000 –> 00:03:19,600
That’s what they like you to believe.
71
00:03:19,760 –> 00:03:20,520
But this thing,
72
00:03:20,520 –> 00:03:21,440
ladies and gentlemen,
73
00:03:21,920 –> 00:03:24,640
is a deep state BLOB,
74
00:03:24,880 –> 00:03:30,320
and any soldier that’s been overseas knows it.
75
00:03:30,480 –> 00:03:33,600
Any reporter worth his or her salt that served in a
76
00:03:33,600 –> 00:03:36,000
conflict zone runs into these people.
77
00:03:37,400 –> 00:03:38,400
What are you doing today,
78
00:03:39,360 –> 00:03:41,840
OK, it wasn’t so much that it’s like when you’re frowning.
79
00:03:42,560 –> 00:03:43,840
It’s relaxed.
80
00:03:43,840 –> 00:03:44,360
It’s off-putting.
81
00:03:44,360 –> 00:03:45,360
You shouldn’t see me.
82
00:03:45,360 –> 00:03:47,840
Can we just put a big you as red as a fucking tomato
83
00:03:47,840 –> 00:03:48,120
over there?
84
00:03:49,160 –> 00:03:50,400
Which, by the way,
85
00:03:50,520 –> 00:03:51,280
which, by the way,
86
00:03:51,520 –> 00:03:57,120
USAID helps the Afghanis grow at 110 billion plus.
87
00:03:57,240 –> 00:04:01,320
What a slush funded deep state newbie United States
88
00:04:01,320 –> 00:04:02,240
Senator from Michigan.
89
00:04:02,440 –> 00:04:05,800
Alyssa Slotkin knows all about the BLOB.
90
00:04:05,800 –> 00:04:08,480
Let me explain USAID.
91
00:04:09,200 –> 00:04:12,720
The yearly budget’s like 45 billion.
92
00:04:13,120 –> 00:04:15,120
It’s an agency unto itself.
93
00:04:15,600 –> 00:04:16,720
Mark, stop shaking your head.
94
00:04:17,280 –> 00:04:17,840
Look right here.
95
00:04:18,800 –> 00:04:19,400
Yeah, I got you.
96
00:04:20,240 –> 00:04:21,680
Maybe you’re upset about USAID.
97
00:04:21,680 –> 00:04:22,440
I am furious.
98
00:04:22,440 –> 00:04:23,480
So this is a federal agency.
99
00:04:24,600 –> 00:04:25,520
Unto itself,
100
00:04:26,760 –> 00:04:29,760
$45 billion budget for some comparison.
101
00:04:30,400 –> 00:04:34,960
That’s three times the budget combined of the CIA and
102
00:04:38,240 –> 00:04:44,040
Remember, old Alyssa likes to say I did 3 tours in
103
00:04:44,200 –> 00:04:45,920
I don’t even know what a tour means.
104
00:04:46,240 –> 00:04:46,720
No, you know,
105
00:04:46,800 –> 00:04:47,760
if you look at a resume,
106
00:04:47,760 –> 00:04:48,720
nobody really knows.
107
00:04:48,880 –> 00:04:49,760
But I know this.
108
00:04:51,040 –> 00:04:51,840
I was there.
109
00:04:53,040 –> 00:04:57,920
We invaded and we leveled the place under the advice
110
00:04:57,920 –> 00:04:59,280
of people like Slotkin,
111
00:04:59,560 –> 00:05:01,600
We leveled it and it didn’t work,
112
00:05:02,640 –> 00:05:04,160
So remember the Battle of Fallujah?
113
00:05:04,240 –> 00:05:05,240
Everybody remember that one?
114
00:05:06,240 –> 00:05:09,760
Two times around we lost a lot of personnel.
115
00:05:10,080 –> 00:05:11,520
It was, it was bloody.
116
00:05:11,520 –> 00:05:15,120
It used to be called the City of Minarets and and we
117
00:05:15,120 –> 00:05:15,760
leveled it.
118
00:05:17,120 –> 00:05:18,720
So what USAID would do,
119
00:05:18,720 –> 00:05:19,480
what would happen?
120
00:05:19,480 –> 00:05:21,000
I was embedded with the Marines,
121
00:05:21,000 –> 00:05:22,560
so I saw this right.
122
00:05:23,200 –> 00:05:25,040
You would have the DOD,
123
00:05:25,440 –> 00:05:27,600
the Department of the Department of Defense,
124
00:05:27,600 –> 00:05:28,880
the Department of State,
125
00:05:29,040 –> 00:05:32,720
the CIA and the USAID also embedded.
126
00:05:33,200 –> 00:05:35,360
OK, so we would go out and there would be a meeting
127
00:05:35,360 –> 00:05:40,480
and the sheikhs wanted power and they wanted water.
128
00:05:41,760 –> 00:05:45,280
And none of this shit ever seemed to come to fruition.
129
00:05:45,600 –> 00:05:47,280
But we’re handing out checks.
130
00:05:47,680 –> 00:05:49,320
We’re handing out refugee checks.
131
00:05:49,440 –> 00:05:51,280
We’re handing out contracting checks.
132
00:05:51,440 –> 00:05:52,640
We’re handing out payroll.
133
00:05:52,720 –> 00:05:54,480
We’re paying them to be docile.
134
00:05:54,560 –> 00:05:57,840
So about 2006,
135
00:05:57,840 –> 00:05:58,800
2007, we’re like,
136
00:05:58,800 –> 00:05:59,520
wait a minute,
137
00:05:59,520 –> 00:06:00,880
the the people we were fighting.
138
00:06:01,760 –> 00:06:02,640
Why don’t we pay them?
139
00:06:02,720 –> 00:06:05,280
Why don’t we build a water plant in Fallujah,
140
00:06:06,080 –> 00:06:07,280
Water treatment plant,
141
00:06:07,840 –> 00:06:10,400
USAID, Army courts,
142
00:06:10,400 –> 00:06:11,600
a big slush fund.
143
00:06:11,600 –> 00:06:13,040
Everybody’s on the payroll.
144
00:06:13,440 –> 00:06:15,120
By the time this thing got done,
145
00:06:16,320 –> 00:06:19,320
it was, let me do the math here,
146
00:06:19,320 –> 00:06:20,880
$80 million over budget.
147
00:06:21,040 –> 00:06:24,320
It didn’t fucking work and it didn’t connect to people’s
148
00:06:24,320 –> 00:06:25,520
houses, right?
149
00:06:26,000 –> 00:06:29,920
In Basra, there was a Children’s Hospital to be built.
150
00:06:30,160 –> 00:06:30,960
This thing was.
151
00:06:31,520 –> 00:06:33,640
$50 million,
152
00:06:33,640 –> 00:06:34,440
100% over budget.
153
00:06:34,640 –> 00:06:36,480
USAID lied,
154
00:06:36,960 –> 00:06:38,120
covered up the cost.
155
00:06:38,120 –> 00:06:39,600
Now where did the 50 million go?
156
00:06:40,160 –> 00:06:41,360
Where’d the 80 million go?
157
00:06:41,520 –> 00:06:42,880
They went to the shakes.
158
00:06:43,120 –> 00:06:46,120
They went to the guys that we were fighting that didn’t
159
00:06:46,120 –> 00:06:49,520
want to be occupied because deep state idiots like
160
00:06:49,520 –> 00:06:52,240
Slotkin thought that this illegal,
161
00:06:52,880 –> 00:06:57,160
unfocused and backwards war was worth fighting and
162
00:06:57,160 –> 00:06:58,600
respect to everybody who went there.
163
00:06:58,600 –> 00:06:59,440
You’re my friends.
164
00:06:59,600 –> 00:07:00,560
We still talk.
165
00:07:01,120 –> 00:07:04,120
I just don’t like it when they start launching shit
166
00:07:04,120 –> 00:07:07,040
in our name and ask us to clean up the mess with no
167
00:07:07,040 –> 00:07:07,600
end game.
168
00:07:07,920 –> 00:07:08,880
There was,
169
00:07:09,600 –> 00:07:10,320
oh, let me think,
170
00:07:11,520 –> 00:07:13,240
Musayib, the power plant,
171
00:07:13,240 –> 00:07:14,880
20 million gone.
172
00:07:15,440 –> 00:07:16,880
Still shitty to this day.
173
00:07:19,040 –> 00:07:22,800
We’re doing global warming initiatives in the Kurdish
174
00:07:22,800 –> 00:07:24,000
regions in the north.
175
00:07:26,320 –> 00:07:28,960
All of this stuff goes.
176
00:07:30,400 –> 00:07:35,440
To push in the deep states will in our name and they
177
00:07:35,440 –> 00:07:36,960
don’t like us over there.
178
00:07:37,680 –> 00:07:38,480
You know what I’m saying?
179
00:07:38,720 –> 00:07:40,600
Yeah, I I understand,
180
00:07:40,640 –> 00:07:41,760
Charlie, but but this is,
181
00:07:41,920 –> 00:07:43,040
this is what has happened.
182
00:07:43,440 –> 00:07:46,560
This is what continues up until now,
183
00:07:48,000 –> 00:07:52,200
$8 million like we got to Baghdad and Maqdel Sadr
184
00:07:52,200 –> 00:07:54,160
and the Sadr militia,
185
00:07:54,320 –> 00:07:55,600
the Shia member,
186
00:07:55,600 –> 00:07:56,000
you know,
187
00:07:57,200 –> 00:07:59,760
Saddam Hussein just murdered them.
188
00:08:00,720 –> 00:08:03,280
And they’re lighting off IEDs and attacking the troops
189
00:08:03,280 –> 00:08:03,720
and all this.
190
00:08:03,720 –> 00:08:05,920
So what does the USAID do?
191
00:08:06,080 –> 00:08:09,360
Hey, here’s a garbage contract for Baghdad.
192
00:08:09,360 –> 00:08:10,320
Pick it up the garbage.
193
00:08:10,480 –> 00:08:13,160
You can read this in the Inspector General report.
194
00:08:13,160 –> 00:08:14,480
This isn’t me making it up,
195
00:08:14,800 –> 00:08:15,840
but I got I saw it.
196
00:08:17,120 –> 00:08:18,560
No garbage ever got collected.
197
00:08:18,560 –> 00:08:19,800
You know where the 8 million went?
198
00:08:20,400 –> 00:08:22,800
Into the pocket of Maqri al Sadr’s militia.
199
00:08:23,520 –> 00:08:24,920
Then they stop shooting at us.
200
00:08:25,040 –> 00:08:30,240
So this is great to spend and spend and spend and have
201
00:08:30,240 –> 00:08:31,440
no end game.
202
00:08:32,400 –> 00:08:33,840
And then when the end game came,
203
00:08:34,000 –> 00:08:34,560
remember,
204
00:08:35,200 –> 00:08:37,760
Alyssa Slotkin then goes to the National Security
205
00:08:37,760 –> 00:08:39,600
Council, her portfolio,
206
00:08:39,880 –> 00:08:42,320
Iraq, Iraq.
207
00:08:42,560 –> 00:08:44,720
So when she’s advising,
208
00:08:44,720 –> 00:08:46,560
we pull out and leave nobody there,
209
00:08:46,560 –> 00:08:48,080
just like Afghanistan,
210
00:08:48,800 –> 00:08:49,680
we pull out.
211
00:08:50,640 –> 00:08:52,000
And ISIS comes in.
212
00:08:52,160 –> 00:08:53,920
And what’s the first town they take?
213
00:08:56,880 –> 00:08:57,680
You get this?
214
00:08:58,240 –> 00:08:59,200
This is her.
215
00:08:59,520 –> 00:09:01,520
Let me remind you of the Ukraine.
216
00:09:01,600 –> 00:09:05,200
She becomes the Assistant Secretary of Defense,
217
00:09:05,920 –> 00:09:07,200
the Velvet Revolution,
218
00:09:08,400 –> 00:09:11,640
All of a sudden we’re in there trying to place missiles
219
00:09:11,640 –> 00:09:12,960
and bring close to NATO.
220
00:09:13,000 –> 00:09:16,040
And now we’re getting close to war and invasion with
221
00:09:17,680 –> 00:09:18,960
She was there in 2015,
222
00:09:18,960 –> 00:09:21,600
part of that whole deep state okey doke.
223
00:09:21,680 –> 00:09:23,440
What’s going on in Ukraine right now?
224
00:09:24,480 –> 00:09:26,240
According to the media there,
225
00:09:26,720 –> 00:09:30,520
USAID funds 80%
226
00:09:30,520 –> 00:09:31,040
of the media.
227
00:09:31,040 –> 00:09:35,520
80% of the media is getting money from us.
228
00:09:36,080 –> 00:09:37,400
If you’re getting money from us,
229
00:09:37,400 –> 00:09:38,480
from our government,
230
00:09:38,800 –> 00:09:40,480
what kind of stories are you writing?
231
00:09:40,480 –> 00:09:44,320
Well, they better be positive favorable ones.
232
00:09:44,640 –> 00:09:46,240
Ukraine’s winning,
233
00:09:47,520 –> 00:09:50,240
OK, where’s the investigation into where our money’s
234
00:09:50,240 –> 00:09:50,880
been stolen?
235
00:09:50,960 –> 00:09:51,840
You don’t see that.
236
00:09:52,000 –> 00:09:53,200
So here’s how it works.
237
00:09:53,840 –> 00:09:55,280
This is how it always works.
238
00:09:55,280 –> 00:09:57,040
This is the the worm pile.
239
00:09:57,200 –> 00:10:00,400
And Slotkin knows this because she’s part of it.
240
00:10:01,200 –> 00:10:03,600
Notice how she’s not saying anything right now.
241
00:10:05,120 –> 00:10:07,840
The Ukrainian media rights stuff.
242
00:10:08,160 –> 00:10:10,560
the United States media is not allowed on the front
243
00:10:11,760 –> 00:10:13,760
We were in in in Iraq,
244
00:10:14,240 –> 00:10:16,080
but not here in Ukraine.
245
00:10:16,400 –> 00:10:18,000
So what are they reduced to doing?
246
00:10:18,000 –> 00:10:21,800
The American media parrots and reproduces what the
247
00:10:21,800 –> 00:10:23,520
Ukrainian media does.
248
00:10:23,920 –> 00:10:25,760
Then it lands on your doorstep.
249
00:10:25,920 –> 00:10:29,000
It lands in the mailbox of our political representatives.
250
00:10:29,440 –> 00:10:33,120
My neighbors putting up solidarity with Ukraine,
251
00:10:33,200 –> 00:10:34,880
but you’re not getting the truth.
252
00:10:36,000 –> 00:10:36,720
What was it called?
253
00:10:36,720 –> 00:10:37,680
The Church Commission.
254
00:10:37,760 –> 00:10:38,320
Is that right?
255
00:10:38,320 –> 00:10:43,040
1974, they realized they banned.
256
00:10:43,920 –> 00:10:47,360
We figured out that the CIA infiltrated American media
257
00:10:48,560 –> 00:10:49,240
that, you know what I mean?
258
00:10:49,240 –> 00:10:50,880
Like Walter Cronkite and everybody,
259
00:10:51,120 –> 00:10:53,040
they had CIA operatives in there.
260
00:10:53,440 –> 00:10:54,800
That’s not allowed.
261
00:10:55,040 –> 00:10:59,040
So now we do that overseas under the umbrella of the
262
00:11:00,320 –> 00:11:04,320
And I thought liberals didn’t like deep state forever
263
00:11:04,320 –> 00:11:06,400
wars that kill people.
264
00:11:07,040 –> 00:11:08,640
No, no, it’s.
265
00:11:09,280 –> 00:11:10,480
It’s time to clean it up.
266
00:11:10,640 –> 00:11:14,080
We’ve been in USAID’s been involved in bad shit in
267
00:11:14,080 –> 00:11:15,520
Cuba, Peru,
268
00:11:15,760 –> 00:11:17,520
Ecuador, Brazil,
269
00:11:17,680 –> 00:11:20,080
Russia, Afghanistan,
270
00:11:20,400 –> 00:11:21,840
Afghanistan people.
271
00:11:22,400 –> 00:11:30,080
We sent through the USAID alone $110 billion.
272
00:11:31,920 –> 00:11:37,360
OK, $110 billion if you need perspective.
273
00:11:38,160 –> 00:11:44,800
How much $110 billion is $110 billion would fund the
274
00:11:44,800 –> 00:11:48,720
city of Detroit for 50 years.
275
00:11:49,680 –> 00:11:51,200
No, 100 years,
276
00:11:52,640 –> 00:11:54,160
100 years,
277
00:11:54,720 –> 00:11:55,680
100 years.
278
00:11:56,640 –> 00:11:58,240
It wouldn’t have to be like this.
279
00:11:58,960 –> 00:11:59,760
But Charlie,
280
00:11:59,760 –> 00:12:01,760
none and not just here in Detroit,
281
00:12:01,760 –> 00:12:04,800
but here period wouldn’t be like this if if money
282
00:12:04,800 –> 00:12:07,760
were being spent responsibly and investing within
283
00:12:07,880 –> 00:12:09,520
and humanely and humanely.
284
00:12:09,520 –> 00:12:11,680
I mean just and we say this all the time,
285
00:12:11,680 –> 00:12:12,960
but I mean how do you,
286
00:12:12,960 –> 00:12:16,480
how do you have any faith or confidence in people
287
00:12:16,480 –> 00:12:19,280
who are making decisions in not in your best interest?
288
00:12:20,480 –> 00:12:22,800
Show me the OK before we do it.
289
00:12:24,000 –> 00:12:26,000
In in Afghanistan,
290
00:12:26,000 –> 00:12:33,120
the USAID spent $330 million on irrigation and farming.
291
00:12:33,560 –> 00:12:38,120
Projects to turn the warlords and the local farmers
292
00:12:38,120 –> 00:12:40,360
away from producing heroin.
293
00:12:42,120 –> 00:12:47,080
Except opium production under the 20 years of occupation.
294
00:12:52,440 –> 00:12:54,200
It’s got to go look.
295
00:12:54,760 –> 00:12:57,480
Here’s the Democrats or what’s left of them.
296
00:12:58,040 –> 00:12:58,840
Show a little clip.
297
00:12:58,880 –> 00:13:01,480
You didn’t create US aid.
298
00:13:01,720 –> 00:13:05,000
The United States Congress did for the American people.
299
00:13:05,440 –> 00:13:07,240
We will see you in the courts,
300
00:13:07,600 –> 00:13:08,440
in Congress,
301
00:13:08,840 –> 00:13:09,640
in the streets.
302
00:13:10,120 –> 00:13:15,840
In Congress to make sure that they know we will not
303
00:13:16,360 –> 00:13:20,040
We are here to fight back.
304
00:13:20,200 –> 00:13:22,040
We are gonna fight this fight.
305
00:13:22,440 –> 00:13:26,040
I am going to stand with you in this fight and we will
306
00:13:28,760 –> 00:13:29,400
We will win.
307
00:13:29,720 –> 00:13:30,280
We will win.
308
00:13:30,600 –> 00:13:31,240
We will win.
309
00:13:31,240 –> 00:13:32,120
We will win.
310
00:13:32,520 –> 00:13:36,360
We will win.
311
00:13:37,800 –> 00:13:41,480
They’re chanting for for covert war.
312
00:13:43,240 –> 00:13:47,400
United States should engage with the world when the
313
00:13:47,400 –> 00:13:48,160
world needs help.
314
00:13:48,200 –> 00:13:51,320
I think that’s what makes us a sort of a shining light.
315
00:13:52,120 –> 00:13:58,000
But all these soft bodied people that get in there
316
00:13:58,000 –> 00:13:59,640
and don’t really know anything,
317
00:14:00,120 –> 00:14:02,440
just parrot what doesn’t need to be parroted.
318
00:14:03,560 –> 00:14:05,480
But shouldn’t the country follow the same,
319
00:14:05,720 –> 00:14:06,040
you know,
320
00:14:06,040 –> 00:14:08,120
direction that they tell you on an airplane?
321
00:14:08,200 –> 00:14:09,360
Put your mask on 1st?
322
00:14:09,360 –> 00:14:10,200
I mean, shouldn’t it?
323
00:14:10,200 –> 00:14:11,280
Shouldn’t you stable?
324
00:14:11,280 –> 00:14:12,600
Oh yeah, they did that to us too.
325
00:14:12,800 –> 00:14:13,720
But shouldn’t you stable?
326
00:14:13,880 –> 00:14:18,120
Shouldn’t you stabilize here before or while at least
327
00:14:18,120 –> 00:14:19,800
extending external help?
328
00:14:19,880 –> 00:14:21,000
Maybe, but.
329
00:14:22,040 –> 00:14:23,480
It’s not what they think it is.
330
00:14:23,640 –> 00:14:24,760
Or maybe it is.
331
00:14:25,000 –> 00:14:25,960
Maybe it is.
332
00:14:26,440 –> 00:14:27,080
You know what I mean?
333
00:14:27,160 –> 00:14:30,760
You have to remember why would it should be folded
334
00:14:30,760 –> 00:14:33,720
into the State Department and let’s why would an aid
335
00:14:33,720 –> 00:14:36,880
agency have top secret computers and files and we’re
336
00:14:36,880 –> 00:14:38,760
not allowed to see and they’re fighting an audit.
337
00:14:38,760 –> 00:14:40,040
You’re an aid agency,
338
00:14:40,920 –> 00:14:42,200
It should be folded in.
339
00:14:42,200 –> 00:14:43,880
It should also be public.
340
00:14:43,960 –> 00:14:46,320
Let me a Chris Cabrera from the.
341
00:14:47,000 –> 00:14:48,840
National Border Patrol Council.
342
00:14:49,080 –> 00:14:53,000
A big heavyweight in what really goes on internationally.
343
00:14:54,040 –> 00:14:54,440
What’s up,
344
00:14:54,760 –> 00:14:56,920
You were in the United States military,
345
00:14:56,920 –> 00:14:57,560
were you not?
346
00:14:59,320 –> 00:15:00,360
I was in the U.S.
347
00:15:01,160 –> 00:15:03,400
You ever deployed overseas anywhere?
348
00:15:04,440 –> 00:15:07,640
I went to Haiti in in the mid 90s.
349
00:15:08,080 –> 00:15:09,800
What was going on there?
350
00:15:11,960 –> 00:15:14,600
They overthrew the government and we went in on a peacekeeping
351
00:15:15,320 –> 00:15:16,040
Peacekeeping man.
352
00:15:16,040 –> 00:15:18,440
So I dollars to Donuts.
353
00:15:18,760 –> 00:15:20,760
You ran into USAID as well.
354
00:15:21,960 –> 00:15:24,160
Oh yeah, I I remember one in particular.
355
00:15:24,160 –> 00:15:29,240
We were on a port in Port-au-Prince and these guys
356
00:15:29,240 –> 00:15:32,120
were unloading the ship full of USAID and and some
357
00:15:32,120 –> 00:15:34,360
of the guys were were just chucking it straight into
358
00:15:34,360 –> 00:15:34,760
the water.
359
00:15:35,320 –> 00:15:37,680
So we went over there and and stopped them from what
360
00:15:37,680 –> 00:15:40,520
they were doing and and they told us that they were
361
00:15:40,520 –> 00:15:42,200
throwing this stuff away because.
362
00:15:42,920 –> 00:15:45,040
The local government wasn’t passing it out to the people.
363
00:15:45,040 –> 00:15:47,680
They were selling it back to the people at,
364
00:15:47,720 –> 00:15:48,320
you know,
365
00:15:48,320 –> 00:15:48,960
insane rates.
366
00:15:48,960 –> 00:15:51,720
So all the the aid we were sending over there to help
367
00:15:51,720 –> 00:15:52,360
these people,
368
00:15:52,680 –> 00:15:53,480
they weren’t getting it.
369
00:15:53,720 –> 00:15:54,960
The the government was keeping that.
370
00:15:55,720 –> 00:15:56,680
What a clusterfuck.
371
00:15:56,680 –> 00:15:59,440
We went over there after the earthquake like 2010 or
372
00:15:59,440 –> 00:16:06,000
whatever and USAID 2.5 billion and none of it got
373
00:16:06,000 –> 00:16:06,720
to the Haitians.
374
00:16:06,720 –> 00:16:07,880
A billion went missing.
375
00:16:07,880 –> 00:16:09,240
Clinton’s in charge of it.
376
00:16:09,640 –> 00:16:12,400
And an audit again found that 90%
377
00:16:12,400 –> 00:16:15,160
of the money found its way back to American corporations
378
00:16:15,160 –> 00:16:16,200
based in Washington.
379
00:16:16,840 –> 00:16:18,000
You you see this little loop.
380
00:16:18,400 –> 00:16:19,760
We will win.
381
00:16:20,360 –> 00:16:21,960
We will win.
382
00:16:22,120 –> 00:16:24,280
We’re throwing rice into the Bay.
383
00:16:25,800 –> 00:16:26,680
Port-au-Prince.
384
00:16:26,800 –> 00:16:28,360
The fuck is.
385
00:16:29,040 –> 00:16:29,480
Well, you know,
386
00:16:30,120 –> 00:16:32,520
if this had been like a a private company doing this
387
00:16:32,520 –> 00:16:33,760
shit or sorry,
388
00:16:33,760 –> 00:16:34,680
this this stuff,
389
00:16:35,320 –> 00:16:36,200
people would be in jail,
390
00:16:36,200 –> 00:16:36,600
you know,
391
00:16:36,920 –> 00:16:38,040
one people would get fired.
392
00:16:38,280 –> 00:16:39,960
Two people will probably go to jail for it.
393
00:16:40,120 –> 00:16:41,360
But since it’s the government,
394
00:16:41,360 –> 00:16:41,760
it’s just,
395
00:16:41,960 –> 00:16:42,400
OK, yeah,
396
00:16:42,520 –> 00:16:42,880
well, you know,
397
00:16:42,880 –> 00:16:43,440
we’ll fix it.
398
00:16:43,440 –> 00:16:45,280
And they keep doing it because there’s no repercussions
399
00:16:45,280 –> 00:16:45,520
for them.
400
00:16:46,200 –> 00:16:47,160
Alyssa Slotkin,
401
00:16:47,160 –> 00:16:48,080
do you know what?
402
00:16:48,080 –> 00:16:48,880
What do you think of this,
403
00:16:49,320 –> 00:16:50,920
I I tell you what you thinks of it.
404
00:16:52,200 –> 00:16:53,640
Being from the BLOB state,
405
00:16:53,640 –> 00:16:54,120
they got their,
406
00:16:54,120 –> 00:16:55,080
the deep state,
407
00:16:55,080 –> 00:16:57,800
got their girl in Washington and nobody around here
408
00:16:57,960 –> 00:16:59,640
even questioned her career.
409
00:17:00,040 –> 00:17:01,400
Well, now you get to see it.
410
00:17:01,560 –> 00:17:02,840
So what do you think of it?
411
00:17:03,640 –> 00:17:06,920
Because we want our,
412
00:17:07,400 –> 00:17:07,600
you know.
413
00:17:08,200 –> 00:17:10,840
Intelligence community to come to heal because they’re
414
00:17:10,840 –> 00:17:12,440
not liking us overseas.
415
00:17:13,000 –> 00:17:13,960
They used to like us.
416
00:17:13,960 –> 00:17:15,080
They don’t like us anymore.
417
00:17:15,240 –> 00:17:16,360
And I can see why.
418
00:17:16,720 –> 00:17:20,040
And I don’t like what we did to our own military.
419
00:17:20,920 –> 00:17:24,080
You know, you guys stick them at a checkpoint and they
420
00:17:24,080 –> 00:17:25,000
don’t speak Arabic.
421
00:17:25,000 –> 00:17:27,400
They can’t say stop in Arabic.
422
00:17:27,520 –> 00:17:29,160
Remember when the car bombs were going off?
423
00:17:30,120 –> 00:17:32,720
I know a guy that dropped some women because he didn’t
424
00:17:32,720 –> 00:17:35,160
think they were women and he’s all fucked up.
425
00:17:35,960 –> 00:17:37,600
That’s the kind of shit we’re doing.
426
00:17:37,800 –> 00:17:39,320
And USAID is part of it.
427
00:17:39,560 –> 00:17:41,640
Passing out paychecks wrong.
428
00:17:41,800 –> 00:17:43,720
And you knew you want to know how you knew who the
429
00:17:43,720 –> 00:17:46,200
sheiks were that were get that were making payroll
430
00:17:46,200 –> 00:17:46,680
to everybody.
431
00:17:46,920 –> 00:17:48,200
They always had cigarettes.
432
00:17:49,720 –> 00:17:51,600
You wanted the Marines wanted cigarettes.
433
00:17:51,600 –> 00:17:52,600
You went to the shake.
434
00:17:54,360 –> 00:17:58,840
You know what I had to pay to shake to get cigarettes
435
00:17:59,000 –> 00:18:01,000
to the cigarettes that he bought from us with our
436
00:18:01,000 –> 00:18:02,360
money, man.
437
00:18:02,840 –> 00:18:04,520
Sounds like prosperity preaching.
438
00:18:05,160 –> 00:18:05,720
All right,
439
00:18:06,000 –> 00:18:08,360
what else is bullshit in the news?
440
00:18:08,360 –> 00:18:15,560
Give me the No BS News Hour presents What’s bullshit
441
00:18:15,720 –> 00:18:17,720
in the news?
442
00:18:18,440 –> 00:18:19,080
All right,
443
00:18:19,480 –> 00:18:20,680
with us, Karen,
444
00:18:21,320 –> 00:18:22,520
is Chris Cabrera,
445
00:18:22,520 –> 00:18:23,720
vice president.
446
00:18:24,320 –> 00:18:26,440
Of the National Border Patrol Council,
447
00:18:26,440 –> 00:18:26,840
you know,
448
00:18:26,840 –> 00:18:29,720
like heavyweight guy knows his business.
449
00:18:29,960 –> 00:18:31,480
So let’s let’s do this.
450
00:18:31,800 –> 00:18:32,520
My friend Chris,
451
00:18:32,680 –> 00:18:34,120
let’s my governor,
452
00:18:35,240 –> 00:18:36,600
soon to be your president.
453
00:18:37,600 –> 00:18:38,240
Wink, wink,
454
00:18:39,320 –> 00:18:41,800
Went on the the hard-hitting view,
455
00:18:42,200 –> 00:18:43,400
went on the view.
456
00:18:43,800 –> 00:18:46,760
And here’s what we’re going to stop it in pieces.
457
00:18:47,560 –> 00:18:49,400
Talking about illegal immigration.
458
00:18:50,200 –> 00:18:51,160
He made this warning.
459
00:18:51,160 –> 00:18:53,320
If you’re in the country illegally,
460
00:18:53,800 –> 00:18:54,760
you got a problem.
461
00:18:55,480 –> 00:18:59,000
So even undocumented immigrants with no criminal record
462
00:18:59,000 –> 00:19:01,320
are clearly being picked up and are at risk.
463
00:19:01,560 –> 00:19:03,400
Is this a fear tactic in your view,
464
00:19:03,400 –> 00:19:06,760
or is the plan to just get rid of every undocumented
465
00:19:06,760 –> 00:19:07,320
immigrants?
466
00:19:07,720 –> 00:19:09,160
Well, I as a fellow lawyer,
467
00:19:09,160 –> 00:19:11,880
I appreciate your setting the stage and what we’re
468
00:19:11,880 –> 00:19:14,040
talking about when it comes to legal and illegal.
469
00:19:14,040 –> 00:19:15,240
That’s very important.
470
00:19:15,240 –> 00:19:16,760
And criminal and civil,
471
00:19:17,000 –> 00:19:17,680
There’s a big pause.
472
00:19:19,560 –> 00:19:23,160
Chris, did we lose Chris?
473
00:19:23,320 –> 00:19:23,720
You there?
474
00:19:24,120 –> 00:19:24,760
Yeah, I’m here.
475
00:19:24,760 –> 00:19:26,480
Yeah, I I’m taking notes on you.
476
00:19:26,640 –> 00:19:28,400
That’s just kind of silly right there.
477
00:19:28,520 –> 00:19:31,720
Is it a criminal offense to enter the country illegally
478
00:19:32,040 –> 00:19:33,320
or is it a civil impraction?
479
00:19:33,440 –> 00:19:36,600
Yeah, under 8 USC1325,
480
00:19:36,600 –> 00:19:39,720
it’s a criminal offense and I’m not even a lawyer.
481
00:19:40,040 –> 00:19:41,480
And on top of that,
482
00:19:41,480 –> 00:19:42,920
I I thought the view would be,
483
00:19:45,240 –> 00:19:45,640
you know,
484
00:19:45,720 –> 00:19:46,920
simulcar or or.
485
00:19:47,800 –> 00:19:49,880
Being shot somewhere other than the US because weren’t
486
00:19:49,880 –> 00:19:51,640
they supposed to leave the country if Trump won?
487
00:19:52,240 –> 00:19:53,560
I thought they were going to Canada or something.
488
00:19:53,560 –> 00:19:54,760
I don’t know why they’re still here.
489
00:19:55,280 –> 00:19:58,040
I’m sure you know how to get transport out of the country.
490
00:19:58,040 –> 00:20:01,160
We’ll send them to the Border Patrol and expatriate
491
00:20:01,640 –> 00:20:05,960
So it’s a criminal offense to enter the country illegally.
492
00:20:06,400 –> 00:20:08,400
What are the maximum penalties under that,
493
00:20:10,360 –> 00:20:13,720
I think for the first offense you could do up to a
494
00:20:13,720 –> 00:20:16,680
year in jail and then you also.
495
00:20:17,320 –> 00:20:18,840
You also have other parts on that,
496
00:20:18,840 –> 00:20:20,120
not that that stem off it.
497
00:20:20,360 –> 00:20:22,760
You know, working in the United States obviously is
498
00:20:22,800 –> 00:20:24,920
a crime if you’re not here legally.
499
00:20:25,680 –> 00:20:27,240
And so how are these people supporting themselves?
500
00:20:27,240 –> 00:20:30,840
So there’s a there’s a lot more that that that spawns
501
00:20:30,840 –> 00:20:33,480
off it, but I think the biggest.
502
00:20:33,800 –> 00:20:36,200
Part of of bullshit in the news right now is they’re
503
00:20:36,200 –> 00:20:39,080
making it seem that ICE is out there going after,
504
00:20:39,320 –> 00:20:39,640
you know,
505
00:20:39,640 –> 00:20:42,160
moms and grandmas and little kids in their houses
506
00:20:42,160 –> 00:20:44,560
and going into schools and and nothing could be farther
507
00:20:44,560 –> 00:20:45,080
from the truth.
508
00:20:45,080 –> 00:20:46,760
That that’s not that’s not happening.
509
00:20:47,560 –> 00:20:49,240
But they’re they’re stirring up a bunch of fear.
510
00:20:49,240 –> 00:20:52,200
They’re stirring up a bunch of hate and it’s leading
511
00:20:52,200 –> 00:20:55,160
to it’s it’s going to lead to more more violence and
512
00:20:55,160 –> 00:20:55,520
bloodshed,
513
00:20:55,720 –> 00:20:58,280
bloodshed on the street from from everybody involved.
514
00:20:59,000 –> 00:21:00,760
OK, let’s continue to roll.
515
00:21:02,440 –> 00:21:04,840
As so few people really appreciate,
516
00:21:04,920 –> 00:21:07,960
Michigan actually has the biggest border crossing
517
00:21:07,960 –> 00:21:08,600
in the country.
518
00:21:10,680 –> 00:21:15,240
Michigan has the biggest border crossing in the country,
519
00:21:15,240 –> 00:21:17,480
says the governor of Michigan,
520
00:21:17,480 –> 00:21:20,120
who wants to be president and would know such things.
521
00:21:20,520 –> 00:21:27,400
Chris, what is the biggest crossing on the United States
522
00:21:31,080 –> 00:21:31,400
If I’m not,
523
00:21:32,920 –> 00:21:34,600
yeah, if I if I’m not mistaken,
524
00:21:34,600 –> 00:21:37,480
the biggest in the country is San Ysidro in California.
525
00:21:37,560 –> 00:21:40,080
I mean, it’s a huge border crossing.
526
00:21:40,080 –> 00:21:41,040
You are in fact correct,
527
00:21:41,880 –> 00:21:42,240
Ding, Ding,
528
00:21:43,080 –> 00:21:44,120
Yes, San Ysidro.
529
00:21:44,120 –> 00:21:47,280
That’s Tijuana for San Diego for everybody that wants
530
00:21:47,280 –> 00:21:48,440
to look at a map.
531
00:21:48,680 –> 00:21:50,360
OK, what is the second?
532
00:21:50,840 –> 00:21:53,880
Maybe we’re the second busiest border crossing.
533
00:21:54,200 –> 00:21:54,960
Would that be right?
534
00:21:56,120 –> 00:22:00,120
Yeah, the 2nd is gonna be station one in the US Border
535
00:22:00,120 –> 00:22:01,480
Patrol, El Paso.
536
00:22:01,880 –> 00:22:04,200
Station one.
537
00:22:04,280 –> 00:22:05,480
Boy, this guy’s an expert.
538
00:22:05,480 –> 00:22:07,080
Station El Paso,
539
00:22:08,440 –> 00:22:10,760
Gretchen, Texas.
540
00:22:10,920 –> 00:22:12,680
OK, maybe she didn’t.
541
00:22:12,760 –> 00:22:14,200
She was just speaking generally.
542
00:22:15,320 –> 00:22:15,960
If you know,
543
00:22:15,960 –> 00:22:17,240
Sir Chris Cabrera,
544
00:22:17,320 –> 00:22:17,960
Vice President,
545
00:22:17,960 –> 00:22:19,400
National Border Patrol Council,
546
00:22:19,920 –> 00:22:25,160
what is the busiest trade corridor in terms of money?
547
00:22:26,360 –> 00:22:27,560
In the United States,
548
00:22:28,960 –> 00:22:32,360
that’s gonna be the the I-35 corridor at which which
549
00:22:32,360 –> 00:22:33,160
starts in Laredo,
550
00:22:33,880 –> 00:22:35,040
Laredo, TX.
551
00:22:35,800 –> 00:22:37,960
Yeah, it’s right down the center of the country.
552
00:22:37,960 –> 00:22:39,240
So Laredo,
553
00:22:39,520 –> 00:22:42,760
So San Ysidro,
554
00:22:44,240 –> 00:22:46,280
El Paso, Laredo.
555
00:22:46,440 –> 00:22:47,800
None of those are in Michigan.
556
00:22:49,760 –> 00:22:50,680
I mean, I’m not a lawyer,
557
00:22:50,680 –> 00:22:51,240
but I mean,
558
00:22:51,240 –> 00:22:52,560
I’m not a lawyer like Gresham,
559
00:22:52,680 –> 00:22:53,800
but last time I checked that,
560
00:22:53,800 –> 00:22:54,120
you know.
561
00:22:54,480 –> 00:22:58,360
They weren’t so far not ready for prime time.
562
00:22:58,360 –> 00:23:02,080
Let’s continue to roll with Canada and as we think
563
00:23:02,080 –> 00:23:03,160
about the conversation,
564
00:23:03,160 –> 00:23:04,120
whether it is around.
565
00:23:04,520 –> 00:23:06,440
Immigration and our borders.
566
00:23:06,440 –> 00:23:08,440
Or it is about tariffs,
567
00:23:08,440 –> 00:23:09,200
for instance.
568
00:23:09,800 –> 00:23:12,080
We have to not lose sight of the fact of what it’s
569
00:23:12,080 –> 00:23:14,360
going to mean for the American citizen too.
570
00:23:14,520 –> 00:23:17,080
Yes, when it costs to talk about increased costs on
571
00:23:17,080 –> 00:23:19,560
your blueberries or your energy or the ability to
572
00:23:19,560 –> 00:23:21,000
find affordable housing.
573
00:23:21,080 –> 00:23:23,800
Well, and the fact that immigrants bring in $100 billion
574
00:23:24,120 –> 00:23:27,480
a year to this country and 8.9 billion,
575
00:23:27,960 –> 00:23:31,160
we’ll lose at least 8.9 billion if we deport all these
576
00:23:31,640 –> 00:23:31,960
That’s right.
577
00:23:33,720 –> 00:23:37,960
Chris, do you have any idea the size of remittances
578
00:23:38,360 –> 00:23:40,600
from the United States to Mexico?
579
00:23:40,600 –> 00:23:41,760
Money being sent,
580
00:23:41,800 –> 00:23:42,200
you know,
581
00:23:42,680 –> 00:23:45,080
by wire sent to family back home.
582
00:23:45,720 –> 00:23:46,760
I know you’re Border Patrol,
583
00:23:46,760 –> 00:23:48,840
so let’s see what you got there.
584
00:23:49,800 –> 00:23:51,560
Yeah, I I don’t know about the remittances.
585
00:23:51,560 –> 00:23:52,360
I know they’re huge.
586
00:23:52,440 –> 00:23:56,160
I I do know the the the flaw in her her statement about
587
00:23:56,160 –> 00:23:58,360
the 100 billion and the 8 billion and all that.
588
00:23:58,600 –> 00:24:00,440
It costs more than that to.
589
00:24:03,400 –> 00:24:07,240
It costs more than that for them being here with with
590
00:24:07,320 –> 00:24:08,080
government aid,
591
00:24:08,080 –> 00:24:08,760
detention,
592
00:24:09,120 –> 00:24:10,520
all the stuff that goes along with it.
593
00:24:10,760 –> 00:24:12,800
Even though they may be bringing in 100 billion,
594
00:24:12,800 –> 00:24:15,840
they’re still probably another 100 billion short of
595
00:24:15,840 –> 00:24:17,400
what it’s actually costing them,
596
00:24:17,880 –> 00:24:20,440
costing us to feed and house them here in the United
597
00:24:20,760 –> 00:24:21,960
Interesting cost cost.
598
00:24:22,400 –> 00:24:26,200
And then you have here’s I think Sonny Googled the
599
00:24:26,200 –> 00:24:26,760
wrong thing.
600
00:24:28,920 –> 00:24:29,880
Mexicans alone.
601
00:24:30,520 –> 00:24:32,960
Send an S We don’t even measure it,
602
00:24:32,960 –> 00:24:34,200
which we need to do.
603
00:24:34,440 –> 00:24:42,680
Send an estimated 100 billion to 400 billion.
604
00:24:44,000 –> 00:24:44,560
Is that correct?
605
00:24:44,560 –> 00:24:47,640
I don’t know to Mexico.
606
00:24:47,720 –> 00:24:49,640
Maybe it’s 100 million.
607
00:24:49,800 –> 00:24:51,000
I don’t even know,
608
00:24:51,480 –> 00:24:54,680
but I know the outflow is massive.
609
00:24:55,240 –> 00:24:56,120
Google that up for me.
610
00:24:56,120 –> 00:24:57,480
I’m like, what are the remittances?
611
00:24:57,640 –> 00:24:59,400
We’re gonna clarify that.
612
00:24:59,560 –> 00:25:01,040
There’s so many numbers going in my head.
613
00:25:01,160 –> 00:25:02,240
Is there any more to the clip?
614
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
Yeah, let’
615
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
s see. And you know,
616
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
the Michigan State Police works very closely with
617
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
our federal agencies as we protect the most cross-
618
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
border in the country.
619
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
And it is well,
620
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
but we’ve got to follow the law.
621
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
We’ve got to treat people with the dignity.
622
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
And we also as a nation have failed to secure tha
623
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
t southern border.
624
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
And it’s not the fault of the last administration.
625
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
This has been going on for decades.
626
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
Pause. OK,
627
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
I’m going to start.
628
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
Chris, Karen,
629
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
you can go in.
630
00:25:30,198 –> 00:25:34,438
Even the New York Times after the election and,
631
00:25:34,438 –> 00:25:34,438
you know,
632
00:25:34,438 –> 00:25:34,438
acknowledged that it was the Biden policy that le
633
00:25:34,438 –> 00:25:34,438
d to this.
634
00:25:34,438 –> 00:25:34,438
This is some dumb ass rejected talking points fro
635
00:25:34,438 –> 00:25:34,438
m the limousine liberals.
636
00:25:34,438 –> 00:25:34,438
She doesn’
637
00:25:34,438 –> 00:25:34,438
t even know that her border is not the busiest.
638
00:25:34,438 –> 00:25:34,438
She can’t speak French.
639
00:25:34,438 –> 00:25:34,438
She can’t speak Spanish.
640
00:25:57,878 –> 00:25:59,398
And she doesn’t know what’s going on here.
641
00:25:59,398 –> 00:25:59,398
Chris, tell the wannabe here about has this been g
642
00:25:59,398 –> 00:25:59,398
oing on for decades,
643
00:25:59,398 –> 00:25:59,398
this explosion on the border?
644
00:25:59,398 –> 00:25:59,398
And you’re right in the middle of it.
645
00:25:59,398 –> 00:25:59,398
Go on. You know,
646
00:25:59,398 –> 00:25:59,398
yes and no.
647
00:25:59,398 –> 00:25:59,398
I mean, we’
648
00:25:59,398 –> 00:25:59,398
ve always had crossings.
649
00:25:59,398 –> 00:25:59,398
We’ve always had an issue,
650
00:25:59,398 –> 00:25:59,398
but not like the issue we had.
651
00:25:59,398 –> 00:25:59,398
I mean, you know,
652
00:25:59,398 –> 00:25:59,398
it was high under Clinton.
653
00:25:59,398 –> 00:25:59,398
It was high under Bush and under Obama.
654
00:26:26,598 –> 00:26:26,878
Under Trump,
655
00:26:26,878 –> 00:26:26,878
it it came down quite a bit,
656
00:26:26,878 –> 00:26:26,878
significantly actually.
657
00:26:26,878 –> 00:26:26,878
And under Biden,
658
00:26:26,878 –> 00:26:26,878
I mean, we went from maybe 20-
659
00:26:26,878 –> 00:26:26,878
30,000 a month that we were apprehending to 300,
660
00:26:26,878 –> 00:26:26,878
000 a month.
661
00:26:26,878 –> 00:26:26,878
So, you know,
662
00:26:26,878 –> 00:26:26,878
the problem has been there for decades,
663
00:26:26,878 –> 00:26:26,878
but the explosion,
664
00:26:26,878 –> 00:26:26,878
what it is now,
665
00:26:26,878 –> 00:26:26,878
that’s unprecedented.
666
00:26:26,878 –> 00:26:26,878
I mean, it’
667
00:26:26,878 –> 00:26:26,878
s nothing.
668
00:26:26,878 –> 00:26:26,878
I mean, that was the last four years that that th
669
00:26:26,878 –> 00:26:26,878
is thing just took off.
670
00:26:51,078 –> 00:26:52,038
And then towards the end of the administration,
671
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
they said,
672
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
well, you know,
673
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
now the crossings are down to 100,
674
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
000 a month.
675
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
Well, better than bad isn’
676
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
t necessarily good.
677
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
I mean, it’
678
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
s still bad.
679
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
You know,
680
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
you jacked it up 300%
681
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
and then you took it down to where it’
682
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
s only over,
683
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
you know,
684
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
200%. You’
685
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
re still up at the end of the day,
686
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
you’re still in the negative.
687
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
So yeah, it was this last administration that jus
688
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
t knocked the wheels off this thing,
689
00:26:52,038 –> 00:26:52,038
the Border Patrol app,
690
00:27:18,358 –> 00:27:21,198
Temporary protective status for Venezuelans encouraged
691
00:27:21,198 –> 00:27:24,758
people to come up to remain in Mexico was discarded.
692
00:27:24,918 –> 00:27:27,638
The pausing of catch and release,
693
00:27:27,638 –> 00:27:27,638
right? No detentions.
694
00:27:27,638 –> 00:27:27,638
None of it.
695
00:27:27,638 –> 00:27:27,638
It was a clarion call.
696
00:27:27,638 –> 00:27:27,638
Gretchen Wimmer has never had her boots in that d
697
00:27:27,638 –> 00:27:27,638
ust. Dude,
698
00:27:27,638 –> 00:27:27,638
I’ve been in that dust with you.
699
00:27:27,638 –> 00:27:27,638
I’ve crossed with the Sinaloa cartel.
700
00:27:27,638 –> 00:27:27,638
I came over the Rio Grande River.
701
00:27:27,638 –> 00:27:27,638
You have made a career of this.
702
00:27:27,638 –> 00:27:27,638
It’s it’s.
703
00:27:46,518 –> 00:27:48,918
It’s beyond simplistic and it’s almost embarrassing
704
00:27:49,078 –> 00:27:51,238
that it’s still being discussed this way.
705
00:27:51,238 –> 00:27:51,238
Well, you know,
706
00:27:51,238 –> 00:27:51,238
and and the the odd part is,
707
00:27:51,238 –> 00:27:51,238
is, you know,
708
00:27:51,238 –> 00:27:51,238
we’ve always had a an illegal immigration problem.
709
00:27:51,238 –> 00:27:51,238
I mean it’
710
00:27:51,238 –> 00:27:51,238
s it’s been going on for for decades,
711
00:27:51,238 –> 00:27:51,238
right. But it didn’
712
00:27:51,238 –> 00:27:51,238
t get, you know,
713
00:27:51,238 –> 00:27:51,238
to the point it is until the last four years wher
714
00:27:51,238 –> 00:27:51,238
e we started just letting anybody in.
715
00:28:12,278 –> 00:28:14,518
And it started affecting our local communities like
716
00:28:14,518 –> 00:28:15,318
up there in in the Detroit,
717
00:28:15,318 –> 00:28:15,318
in the Michigan area,
718
00:28:15,318 –> 00:28:15,318
Ruby Garcia,
719
00:28:15,318 –> 00:28:15,318
a young lady killed by an illegal immigrant.
720
00:28:15,318 –> 00:28:15,318
You obviously,
721
00:28:15,318 –> 00:28:15,318
you know,
722
00:28:15,318 –> 00:28:15,318
Lake and Riley,
723
00:28:15,318 –> 00:28:15,318
you know,
724
00:28:15,318 –> 00:28:15,318
Jocelyn Nungaree from Texas that was brutally ass
725
00:28:15,318 –> 00:28:15,318
aulted, sexually assaulted,
726
00:28:15,318 –> 00:28:15,318
12 year old and and killed under a bridge by Vene
727
00:28:15,318 –> 00:28:15,318
zuelan illegal aliens.
728
00:28:15,318 –> 00:28:15,318
And so when this starts happening,
729
00:28:15,318 –> 00:28:15,318
well, now you’
730
00:28:15,318 –> 00:28:15,318
re riling people up.
731
00:28:15,318 –> 00:28:15,318
I mean, granted,
732
00:28:15,318 –> 00:28:15,318
do we have homegrown criminals?
733
00:28:39,438 –> 00:28:39,838
But we can’t do,
734
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
we can’t send them anywhere,
735
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
but we don’
736
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
t need to import anymore.
737
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
And if these folks hadn’
738
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
t come in and just started doing whatever the hell
739
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
they wanted to whoever the hell they wanted,
740
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
we’d probably still be kind of most people would j
741
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
ust kind of,
742
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
you know,
743
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
pass a blind eye to it and pretend like it’
744
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
s not there.
745
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
But it got so out of control,
746
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
this is where it ended up.
747
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
But remember,
748
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
Charlie, we talked to Chris for the last few year
749
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
s, like this isn’
750
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
t a new conversation.
751
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
And so he’
752
00:28:39,838 –> 00:28:39,838
s had his finger on the pulse and shared it here.
753
00:29:08,678 –> 00:29:09,398
Over time.
754
00:29:09,398 –> 00:29:12,918
So we’ve had an insight into you know the lack of
755
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
organization,
756
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
the lack of processing,
757
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
you know how you did the the test with the phones
758
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
and and the whole you know there’
759
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
s there’s no follow up,
760
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
there’s nothing.
761
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
So we’ve we’
762
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
ve been talking about this for a long time.
763
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
This is not a new conversation.
764
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
So don’t well well thanks for that.
765
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
I mean why TuneIn there’
766
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
s not new.
767
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
Well, no,
768
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
I’m because I’
769
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
m saying no what I’
770
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
m saying, I’
771
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
m playing.
772
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
What I’m saying is that this should not be a shoc
773
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
k. You know we’
774
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
ve been talking you know people are saying oh you’
775
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
re just saying that because you know we want to su
776
00:29:12,918 –> 00:29:12,918
pport Biden.
777
00:29:38,718 –> 00:29:40,438
This isn’t a Trump or Biden thing.
778
00:29:40,598 –> 00:29:43,078
There’s a clear difference in what happened over the
779
00:29:43,078 –> 00:29:43,678
past few years.
780
00:29:43,678 –> 00:29:44,318
That’s what I was saying.
781
00:29:44,318 –> 00:29:44,318
Yes, absolutely.
782
00:29:44,318 –> 00:29:44,318
And it’s it shouldn’
783
00:29:44,318 –> 00:29:44,318
t be a shock.
784
00:29:44,318 –> 00:29:44,318
But now, you know,
785
00:29:44,318 –> 00:29:44,318
it’s silly time here.
786
00:29:44,318 –> 00:29:44,318
It’s it’s silly time with these,
787
00:29:44,318 –> 00:29:44,318
with these,
788
00:29:44,318 –> 00:29:44,318
with the left now,
789
00:29:44,318 –> 00:29:44,318
you know,
790
00:29:44,318 –> 00:29:44,318
me and Cabrera and you,
791
00:29:44,318 –> 00:29:44,318
we’re the old left.
792
00:30:01,918 –> 00:30:02,518
You know what I mean?
793
00:30:02,598 –> 00:30:04,718
We’re the ones that did stuff and it’s reasonable
794
00:30:04,718 –> 00:30:06,678
and be humanistic about stuff and,
795
00:30:06,678 –> 00:30:06,678
you know,
796
00:30:06,678 –> 00:30:06,678
serve the country and all that.
797
00:30:06,678 –> 00:30:06,678
Now it’s shitheads.
798
00:30:06,678 –> 00:30:06,678
Well, it’
799
00:30:06,678 –> 00:30:06,678
s whatever I say is truth.
800
00:30:06,678 –> 00:30:06,678
And that because there’
801
00:30:06,678 –> 00:30:06,678
s no accountability,
802
00:30:06,678 –> 00:30:06,678
there’s no fact checking.
803
00:30:06,678 –> 00:30:06,678
And so she can go on and she can say those things
804
00:30:06,678 –> 00:30:06,678
and people respond to what she says without check
805
00:30:06,678 –> 00:30:06,678
ing the validity of what she’
806
00:30:06,678 –> 00:30:06,678
s saying. I just just vomit.
807
00:30:27,198 –> 00:30:28,198
Talking points.
808
00:30:28,558 –> 00:30:28,598
I mean, this show,
809
00:30:28,598 –> 00:30:28,598
you know,
810
00:30:28,598 –> 00:30:28,598
I met with Cabrera.
811
00:30:28,598 –> 00:30:28,598
Remember last time I saw you in the flesh?
812
00:30:28,598 –> 00:30:28,598
We actually went down.
813
00:30:28,598 –> 00:30:28,598
I remember you crossed the river with the guy.
814
00:30:28,598 –> 00:30:28,598
Yeah, I remember that.
815
00:30:28,598 –> 00:30:28,598
Everybody I come across,
816
00:30:28,598 –> 00:30:28,598
I tell them to Google that video because it was t
817
00:30:28,598 –> 00:30:28,598
hat stupid and.
818
00:30:49,918 –> 00:30:49,998
You know, we,
819
00:30:49,998 –> 00:30:49,998
we, Chris was showing us around and you know,
820
00:30:49,998 –> 00:30:49,998
they were,
821
00:30:49,998 –> 00:30:49,998
it was like back in the trees where they were mus
822
00:30:49,998 –> 00:30:49,998
tering. It was like 2000 people in one little batc
823
00:30:49,998 –> 00:30:49,998
h that morning,
824
00:30:49,998 –> 00:30:49,998
most of them from Venezuela,
825
00:30:49,998 –> 00:30:49,998
some Peru and all that.
826
00:30:49,998 –> 00:30:49,998
They didn’
827
00:30:49,998 –> 00:30:49,998
t want you to see it.
828
00:30:49,998 –> 00:30:49,998
That’s when I’
829
00:30:49,998 –> 00:30:49,998
m picking up those passports and people are discar
830
00:30:49,998 –> 00:30:49,998
ding them because there’
831
00:30:49,998 –> 00:30:49,998
s no identity.
832
00:30:49,998 –> 00:30:49,998
We don’t know who they are.
833
00:30:49,998 –> 00:30:49,998
And you saw the,
834
00:30:49,998 –> 00:30:49,998
what do you call it when you get that?
835
00:31:17,198 –> 00:31:17,718
What’s it called?
836
00:31:17,718 –> 00:31:20,878
A shunt? An implant for birth control?
837
00:31:20,878 –> 00:31:22,518
I don’t know.
838
00:31:22,598 –> 00:31:23,518
I know what you’re talking about.
839
00:31:23,518 –> 00:31:23,958
I don’t know.
840
00:31:23,958 –> 00:31:23,958
No, that’
841
00:31:23,958 –> 00:31:23,958
s not an IUD.
842
00:31:23,958 –> 00:31:23,958
No, that’
843
00:31:23,958 –> 00:31:23,958
s an improvised explosive.
844
00:31:23,958 –> 00:31:23,958
IUD. No, but that’
845
00:31:23,958 –> 00:31:23,958
s not that either.
846
00:31:23,958 –> 00:31:23,958
You’re talking about the it’
847
00:31:23,958 –> 00:31:23,958
s a it’s a under the skin kind of thing for.
848
00:31:23,958 –> 00:31:23,958
Yeah, I don’
849
00:31:23,958 –> 00:31:23,958
t know what it is,
850
00:31:23,958 –> 00:31:23,958
but I know it exists.
851
00:31:23,958 –> 00:31:23,958
I I saw, I saw the the doctor’
852
00:31:23,958 –> 00:31:23,958
s notification,
853
00:31:23,958 –> 00:31:23,958
prescription,
854
00:31:23,958 –> 00:31:23,958
whatever for a 14 year old Venezuelan girl.
855
00:31:45,518 –> 00:31:46,278
So before they left,
856
00:31:46,278 –> 00:31:46,278
they got that expecting to be raped.
857
00:31:46,278 –> 00:31:46,278
Yeah, that it’
858
00:31:46,278 –> 00:31:46,278
s a subcutaneous insert that that that is a work c
859
00:31:46,278 –> 00:31:46,278
ontrol method.
860
00:31:46,278 –> 00:31:46,278
Subcutaneous.
861
00:31:46,278 –> 00:31:46,278
It’s just under the skin.
862
00:31:46,278 –> 00:31:46,278
Can you spell that?
863
00:31:46,278 –> 00:31:46,278
Come on, Charlie.
864
00:31:46,278 –> 00:31:46,278
SUB continuous.
865
00:31:46,278 –> 00:31:46,278
That’s subcutaneous.
866
00:31:46,278 –> 00:31:46,278
Subcutaneous,
867
00:31:46,278 –> 00:31:46,278
Gretchen.
868
00:32:09,558 –> 00:32:09,838
Yeah. So, hey,
869
00:32:09,838 –> 00:32:09,838
Chris, how much were the,
870
00:32:09,838 –> 00:32:09,838
let’s just say,
871
00:32:09,838 –> 00:32:09,838
forget what the cartels were paying for from the G
872
00:32:09,838 –> 00:32:09,838
uatemalan border.
873
00:32:09,838 –> 00:32:09,838
Just when you’
874
00:32:09,838 –> 00:32:09,838
re on the Mexican side of the Rio to crossover,
875
00:32:09,838 –> 00:32:09,838
what was,
876
00:32:09,838 –> 00:32:09,838
what was the the going rate,
877
00:32:09,838 –> 00:32:09,838
the toll,
878
00:32:09,838 –> 00:32:09,838
you know,
879
00:32:09,838 –> 00:32:09,838
yeah, not the entire cost,
880
00:32:09,838 –> 00:32:09,838
but just just across the river from one side of t
881
00:32:09,838 –> 00:32:09,838
he river to the other,
882
00:32:09,838 –> 00:32:09,838
usually for people in in this hemisphere.
883
00:32:39,078 –> 00:32:42,638
2 or $3000 that that’s on top of the 10 to 15 that
884
00:32:42,638 –> 00:32:44,278
they paid to get wherever they were coming from.
885
00:32:44,638 –> 00:32:46,358
And then anybody that’s exotic from Asia,
886
00:32:46,358 –> 00:32:46,358
Africa or or anywhere else,
887
00:32:46,358 –> 00:32:46,358
they’re going to pay probably $5000 just to cross
888
00:32:46,358 –> 00:32:46,358
that river,
889
00:32:46,358 –> 00:32:46,358
just to cross.
890
00:32:46,358 –> 00:32:46,358
There’s a toll.
891
00:32:46,358 –> 00:32:46,358
Now the cartels are working on the Mexican side,
892
00:32:46,358 –> 00:32:46,358
but are they working on the American side?
893
00:32:46,358 –> 00:32:46,358
I mean, they’
894
00:32:46,358 –> 00:32:46,358
re working on the American side.
895
00:32:46,358 –> 00:32:46,358
They’re working on the Mexican side.
896
00:32:46,358 –> 00:32:46,358
They’re working in in.
897
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
Every, every,
898
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
every state in this country.
899
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
And they’
900
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
re they’re in other countries too.
901
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
I mean you have Mexican drug cartels that are ope
902
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
rating in Central and South America.
903
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
They’re operating in Spain that are operating in E
904
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
urope. I mean this is a worldwide industry.
905
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
I mean this this is big business with no red tape.
906
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
Nice segue,
907
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
which brings us to Canada,
908
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
right? Why is Trump rattling the big stick?
909
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
I I was on with Chris Cuomo two nights ago and wa
910
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
tch this Chris and Karen and.
911
00:33:35,558 –> 00:33:39,478
And we’ll circle back since the governor of Michigan
912
00:33:40,518 –> 00:33:41,478
doesn’t know anything.
913
00:33:45,638 –> 00:33:49,398
Canada. Why do we care about the northern border?
914
00:33:49,398 –> 00:33:50,438
Nobody really comes through there,
915
00:33:50,438 –> 00:33:50,438
right? It’
916
00:33:50,438 –> 00:33:50,438
s like a little fraction of our fentanyl.
917
00:33:50,438 –> 00:33:50,438
It turns out that we don’
918
00:33:50,438 –> 00:33:50,438
t have the right picture of what’
919
00:33:50,438 –> 00:33:50,438
s going on up north,
920
00:33:50,438 –> 00:33:50,438
and that’
921
00:33:50,438 –> 00:33:50,438
s why the administration is so sensitive to it.
922
00:33:50,438 –> 00:33:50,438
And that’
923
00:33:50,438 –> 00:33:50,438
s why Trudeau threw so much money at it.
924
00:34:03,358 –> 00:34:04,998
Today. That’s a lot of money.
925
00:34:04,998 –> 00:34:05,558
The question is,
926
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
why didn’
927
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
t he make these moves before?
928
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
See, that’
929
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
s what pressure’
930
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
s about in politics.
931
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
Let’s bring in Charlie LaDuff.
932
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
You know him,
933
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
friend of show Pulitzer Prize winner.
934
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
He has the No BS News.
935
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
One of my favorite things to watch in a trash fir
936
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
e of digital media.
937
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
This is an Oasis.
938
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
Mine too.
939
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
Charlie, it’
940
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
s been a minute.
941
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
I miss you.
942
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
It’s great to see you.
943
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
It really is,
944
00:34:05,558 –> 00:34:05,558
man. It’s good to see you.
945
00:34:32,118 –> 00:34:35,878
So I already told them that we had taken a lot of our
946
00:34:35,878 –> 00:34:37,878
staff from the northern border and moved them to the
947
00:34:37,878 –> 00:34:39,238
south from CBP.
948
00:34:39,238 –> 00:34:40,878
So we’re understaffed up north.
949
00:34:41,158 –> 00:34:43,558
But you called me and I I own it.
950
00:34:43,558 –> 00:34:45,638
You called me months ago saying you need to talk about
951
00:34:45,638 –> 00:34:46,598
what’s happening up there.
952
00:34:46,798 –> 00:34:50,758
What did you learn about what the risk is for who’s
953
00:34:50,758 –> 00:34:52,838
coming over and what’s coming over from Canada?
954
00:34:54,918 –> 00:34:56,038
I try not to bore everybody with numbers,
955
00:34:56,038 –> 00:34:56,038
but we all know about the terror watch list,
956
00:34:56,038 –> 00:34:56,038
right? And all the terrorists are coming in,
957
00:34:56,038 –> 00:34:56,038
terrorists are coming in.
958
00:34:56,038 –> 00:34:56,038
In the last four years,
959
00:34:56,038 –> 00:34:56,038
over the Mexican border,
960
00:34:56,038 –> 00:34:56,038
we’ve encountered about 500 people on the terror w
961
00:34:56,038 –> 00:34:56,038
atch list.
962
00:34:56,038 –> 00:34:56,038
It’s important to say it only took 10 guys to tak
963
00:34:56,038 –> 00:34:56,038
e both towers down.
964
00:34:56,038 –> 00:34:56,038
On the northern border,
965
00:34:56,038 –> 00:34:56,038
Canada and the United States,
966
00:34:56,038 –> 00:34:56,038
it’s 1000.
967
00:35:20,398 –> 00:35:22,678
So we have a huge problem here.
968
00:35:22,998 –> 00:35:27,478
Canada’s immigration system is so lax that if it was
969
00:35:27,478 –> 00:35:28,558
comparable to the United States,
970
00:35:28,558 –> 00:35:28,558
about 6 million people a year being led into the U
971
00:35:28,558 –> 00:35:28,558
nited States.
972
00:35:28,558 –> 00:35:28,558
It’s 500,
973
00:35:28,558 –> 00:35:28,558
000 for Canada.
974
00:35:28,558 –> 00:35:28,558
They’re not looking into them.
975
00:35:28,558 –> 00:35:28,558
And when the Canadian government’
976
00:35:28,558 –> 00:35:28,558
s own audit,
977
00:35:28,558 –> 00:35:28,558
Canadian government says,
978
00:35:28,558 –> 00:35:28,558
of the people our security services flagged,
979
00:35:28,558 –> 00:35:28,558
Canada let in
980
00:35:46,998 –> 00:35:47,518
50% of them.
981
00:35:47,958 –> 00:35:50,198
So it’s not a good deal up there,
982
00:35:50,198 –> 00:35:50,198
man. It’s wide open.
983
00:35:50,198 –> 00:35:50,198
And on the drug side,
984
00:35:50,198 –> 00:35:50,198
they say,
985
00:35:50,198 –> 00:35:50,198
you know,
986
00:35:50,198 –> 00:35:50,198
so little fentanyl comes across the northern bord
987
00:35:50,198 –> 00:35:50,198
er, you know,
988
00:35:50,198 –> 00:35:50,198
focus on the southern border.
989
00:35:50,198 –> 00:35:50,198
You say not so fast.
990
00:35:50,198 –> 00:35:50,198
It’s not clear because you got to remember,
991
00:35:50,198 –> 00:35:50,198
Canada and the United States have a 5,
992
00:35:50,198 –> 00:35:50,198
500 mile border.
993
00:35:50,198 –> 00:35:50,198
The Mexican border is 2,
994
00:35:50,198 –> 00:35:50,198
000 miles.
995
00:36:12,958 –> 00:36:13,078
In Mexico,
996
00:36:13,078 –> 00:36:13,078
on that border,
997
00:36:13,078 –> 00:36:13,078
10 times the Border Patrol agents.
998
00:36:13,078 –> 00:36:13,078
So the number is the northern border is 25%
999
00:36:13,078 –> 00:36:13,078
more porous.
1000
00:36:13,078 –> 00:36:13,078
You can drive through the woods,
1001
00:36:13,078 –> 00:36:13,078
you can drive through North Dakota.
1002
00:36:13,078 –> 00:36:13,078
Who’s there to see you?
1003
00:36:13,078 –> 00:36:13,078
A lot of it comes through in the mail.
1004
00:36:13,078 –> 00:36:13,078
We all know that the Canada’
1005
00:36:13,078 –> 00:36:13,078
s Postal Service is insolvent and because it’
1006
00:36:13,078 –> 00:36:13,078
s so hot on the southern border,
1007
00:36:13,078 –> 00:36:13,078
a lot of the.
1008
00:36:40,558 –> 00:36:43,158
precursors are being shipped into Canada.
1009
00:36:43,398 –> 00:36:44,518
It’s being cooked up there,
1010
00:36:44,518 –> 00:36:44,518
spread into Canada,
1011
00:36:44,518 –> 00:36:44,518
being brought into here,
1012
00:36:44,518 –> 00:36:44,518
and it’s also a place where the money is laundere
1013
00:36:44,518 –> 00:36:44,518
d through their online casinos,
1014
00:36:44,518 –> 00:36:44,518
et cetera.
1015
00:36:44,518 –> 00:36:44,518
So as you saw today,
1016
00:36:44,518 –> 00:36:44,518
Trudeau bent,
1017
00:36:44,518 –> 00:36:44,518
when you’
1018
00:36:44,518 –> 00:36:44,518
re throwing one and a half billion for a fentanyl c
1019
00:36:44,518 –> 00:36:44,518
zar, you know something’
1020
00:36:44,518 –> 00:36:44,518
s up. Right.
1021
00:36:44,518 –> 00:36:44,518
I mean, look,
1022
00:36:44,518 –> 00:36:44,518
you know,
1023
00:36:44,518 –> 00:36:44,518
you got to give credit where credit is due.
1024
00:36:44,518 –> 00:36:44,518
You know,
1025
00:37:09,758 –> 00:37:11,158
used the tactic that he had.
1026
00:37:11,358 –> 00:37:14,718
And obviously Trudeau knew this was coming because
1027
00:37:14,718 –> 00:37:16,598
he came there with a basket of deliverables.
1028
00:37:16,598 –> 00:37:18,998
And you put some meat on the bones for why with me
1029
00:37:19,318 –> 00:37:21,078
that explain this,
1030
00:37:21,078 –> 00:37:21,078
that Canadian officials say that there are a hund
1031
00:37:21,078 –> 00:37:21,078
red organized crime groups in Canada now involved i
1032
00:37:21,078 –> 00:37:21,078
n fentanyl production,
1033
00:37:21,078 –> 00:37:21,078
that that there’
1034
00:37:21,078 –> 00:37:21,078
s a fourfold increase.
1035
00:37:21,078 –> 00:37:21,078
What does that mean about what’
1036
00:37:21,078 –> 00:37:21,078
s going on up there?
1037
00:37:21,078 –> 00:37:21,078
In the last three years,
1038
00:37:21,078 –> 00:37:21,078
fent has become a huge deal,
1039
00:37:21,078 –> 00:37:21,078
brother, you and I,
1040
00:37:38,678 –> 00:37:40,918
Hate this and everything connected to it.
1041
00:37:41,318 –> 00:37:44,118
One of the reasons is when Trudeau came in,
1042
00:37:44,118 –> 00:37:44,118
he suspended visas for Mexicans.
1043
00:37:44,118 –> 00:37:44,118
You can come in without a visa to Canada.
1044
00:37:44,118 –> 00:37:44,118
You can’t come into the United States without a v
1045
00:37:44,118 –> 00:37:44,118
isa from Mexico.
1046
00:37:44,118 –> 00:37:44,118
So what did the cartels do?
1047
00:37:44,118 –> 00:37:44,118
They flew in.
1048
00:37:44,118 –> 00:37:44,118
They set up shop.
1049
00:37:44,118 –> 00:37:44,118
Hey, it’s much easier here,
1050
00:37:44,118 –> 00:37:44,118
right? And the border’
1051
00:37:44,118 –> 00:37:44,118
s wide open.
1052
00:37:44,118 –> 00:37:44,118
Now we got a big problem.
1053
00:37:44,118 –> 00:37:44,118
Trudeau just.
1054
00:38:07,238 –> 00:38:07,678
Last year,
1055
00:38:07,678 –> 00:38:07,678
not about almost a year ago,
1056
00:38:07,678 –> 00:38:07,678
suspended that Mexicans now need a visa because t
1057
00:38:07,678 –> 00:38:07,678
hey’re all coming claiming asylum.
1058
00:38:07,678 –> 00:38:07,678
You got the cartels.
1059
00:38:07,678 –> 00:38:07,678
Good luck getting them out.
1060
00:38:07,678 –> 00:38:07,678
We actually had a quarter million people,
1061
00:38:07,678 –> 00:38:07,678
migrants coming in from Canada,
1062
00:38:07,678 –> 00:38:07,678
the United States,
1063
00:38:07,678 –> 00:38:07,678
which was a 700%
1064
00:38:07,678 –> 00:38:07,678
increase over the last couple of years.
1065
00:38:07,678 –> 00:38:07,678
So we screwed the pooch and we got to deal with i
1066
00:38:07,678 –> 00:38:07,678
t. I’ll make one last point,
1067
00:38:07,678 –> 00:38:07,678
Chris. Don’
1068
00:38:07,678 –> 00:38:07,678
t think for a minute though.
1069
00:38:36,358 –> 00:38:37,398
This is just fentanyl.
1070
00:38:37,638 –> 00:38:39,238
This is a club.
1071
00:38:40,038 –> 00:38:43,238
He bent the knee and it is going to be about defense.
1072
00:38:43,238 –> 00:38:44,838
It is going to be about trade.
1073
00:38:44,998 –> 00:38:46,318
It’s just the opening salvo.
1074
00:38:47,958 –> 00:38:48,118
Oh yeah, look,
1075
00:38:48,118 –> 00:38:48,118
I mean, this is a 30 day window.
1076
00:38:48,118 –> 00:38:48,118
We’ll see what they else they come up with.
1077
00:38:48,118 –> 00:38:48,118
And look,
1078
00:38:48,118 –> 00:38:48,118
I I think it’
1079
00:38:48,118 –> 00:38:48,118
s a good start.
1080
00:38:48,118 –> 00:38:48,118
And what we should do is let’
1081
00:38:48,118 –> 00:38:48,118
s give it a couple of months and if you’
1082
00:38:48,118 –> 00:38:48,118
re still getting the same reports about what’
1083
00:38:48,118 –> 00:38:48,118
s happening.
1084
00:39:01,558 –> 00:39:01,798
Let’s go, let’
1085
00:39:01,798 –> 00:39:01,798
s let’s bring,
1086
00:39:01,798 –> 00:39:01,798
let’s get the the band back together and go up to
1087
00:39:01,798 –> 00:39:01,798
the northern border and let’
1088
00:39:01,798 –> 00:39:01,798
s watch what’
1089
00:39:01,798 –> 00:39:01,798
s happening so we can show the audience that we go
1090
00:39:01,798 –> 00:39:01,798
t to pay attention there too.
1091
00:39:01,798 –> 00:39:01,798
Charlie Lidoff,
1092
00:39:01,798 –> 00:39:01,798
thank you for bringing this to my attention.
1093
00:39:01,798 –> 00:39:01,798
Thank you for helping the audience understand it.
1094
00:39:01,798 –> 00:39:01,798
Appreciate you.
1095
00:39:01,798 –> 00:39:01,798
Chris, what are you making?
1096
00:39:01,798 –> 00:39:01,798
Can I add something on that?
1097
00:39:01,798 –> 00:39:01,798
You know,
1098
00:39:01,798 –> 00:39:01,798
you said that it took 10 to take down the towers,
1099
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
And, you know,
1100
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
it’s terrible because you only need one,
1101
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
two, and you have a bad day like in Bakersfield,
1102
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
California.
1103
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
And I think we’
1104
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
re we’re missing out here on on the effect,
1105
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
the ICE agents and and what their job is,
1106
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
because a lot of these folks,
1107
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
even though they didn’
1108
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
t enter illegally,
1109
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
they they overstayed their visas.
1110
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
And those are the folks that we need to find and g
1111
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
et out of the country.
1112
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
And those folks were overstays.
1113
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
So if we don’
1114
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
t let ICE do their job,
1115
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
if they defund ICE,
1116
00:39:54,078 –> 00:39:56,238
That’s gonna mean that even more people that didn’t
1117
00:39:56,238 –> 00:39:56,598
enter legally,
1118
00:39:56,598 –> 00:39:56,598
but are here,
1119
00:39:56,598 –> 00:39:56,598
they they didn’
1120
00:39:56,598 –> 00:39:56,598
t enter illegally,
1121
00:39:56,598 –> 00:39:56,598
but they’
1122
00:39:56,598 –> 00:39:56,598
re here illegally.
1123
00:39:56,598 –> 00:39:56,598
They’re just free to do what they want because th
1124
00:39:56,598 –> 00:39:56,598
ey don’t want ICE around.
1125
00:39:56,598 –> 00:39:56,598
So not only do we have this,
1126
00:39:56,598 –> 00:39:56,598
this porous border where people are coming in,
1127
00:39:56,598 –> 00:39:56,598
the people that are supposed to be leaving aren’
1128
00:39:56,598 –> 00:39:56,598
t leaving.
1129
00:39:56,598 –> 00:39:56,598
So that adds even more.
1130
00:39:56,598 –> 00:39:56,598
And yet we don’
1131
00:39:56,598 –> 00:39:56,598
t want ICE to do their job.
1132
00:39:56,598 –> 00:39:56,598
And that makes it,
1133
00:39:56,598 –> 00:39:56,598
that just compounds the problem.
1134
00:40:19,278 –> 00:40:19,598
That’s 100%
1135
00:40:19,598 –> 00:40:22,918
correct. It’s a problem with visas in both Canada
1136
00:40:22,918 –> 00:40:24,158
and the United States.
1137
00:40:24,518 –> 00:40:26,038
Nobody reports this Benzman.
1138
00:40:26,038 –> 00:40:26,838
I kept calling him like,
1139
00:40:26,838 –> 00:40:26,838
Todd, report this about 1,
1140
00:40:26,838 –> 00:40:26,838
000,000 people a year abandoned their visa.
1141
00:40:26,838 –> 00:40:26,838
You’re supposed to.
1142
00:40:26,838 –> 00:40:26,838
We can track them.
1143
00:40:26,838 –> 00:40:26,838
Hey, guy didn’
1144
00:40:26,838 –> 00:40:26,838
t show up for the airport.
1145
00:40:39,158 –> 00:40:39,798
They’re here.
1146
00:40:39,878 –> 00:40:44,198
So why are we expanding tourist visas to places like
1147
00:40:44,358 –> 00:40:45,478
Tajikistan?
1148
00:40:45,638 –> 00:40:49,118
Why don’t you need a visa if you’re from Colombia
1149
00:40:49,118 –> 00:40:50,998
and you want to come here and holiday?
1150
00:40:51,238 –> 00:40:52,958
I met a guy at the bus stop here.
1151
00:40:52,958 –> 00:40:53,638
Nice dude.
1152
00:40:54,118 –> 00:40:55,718
Nice dude was looking for work.
1153
00:40:56,118 –> 00:40:57,438
He wasn’t going back to Bogota.
1154
00:40:57,438 –> 00:40:58,678
He wasn’t doing it.
1155
00:40:58,838 –> 00:41:01,718
So it’s a clusterfuck.
1156
00:41:02,358 –> 00:41:04,838
Going on the view doesn’t fix anything.
1157
00:41:04,838 –> 00:41:07,558
It just shows me how little.
1158
00:41:09,078 –> 00:41:11,638
Our leadership knows they don’t know about USAID.
1159
00:41:11,798 –> 00:41:13,478
They don’t know about their own border.
1160
00:41:13,558 –> 00:41:16,038
They don’t know the position the world’s in and and
1161
00:41:16,038 –> 00:41:17,318
what’s trying to be accomplished.
1162
00:41:17,558 –> 00:41:18,598
And you know what else they don’t know?
1163
00:41:18,598 –> 00:41:18,598
Chris, what is the favorite Coney dog of the Unit
1164
00:41:18,598 –> 00:41:18,598
ed States Border Patrol?
1165
00:41:18,598 –> 00:41:18,598
The ones you guys have up there?
1166
00:41:18,598 –> 00:41:18,598
The what is it?
1167
00:41:18,598 –> 00:41:18,598
The I forget the the American Coney Island.
1168
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
Yeah, the ones you sent to me.
1169
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
Those things are freaking awesome.
1170
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
The American Coney Island.
1171
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
We sent you a bunch,
1172
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
right? You and a bunch of the you got.
1173
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
Yep. Had a big BBQ.
1174
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
Now the governor goes to Lafayette.
1175
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
And as we all know,
1176
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
that one’
1177
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
s closed for,
1178
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
you know,
1179
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
stop, Charlie.
1180
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
That is stop.
1181
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
OK, but here’
1182
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
s the deal.
1183
00:41:59,478 –> 00:42:02,438
Nobody really knows the where did this Coney dog come
1184
00:42:02,438 –> 00:42:05,198
from? Even Texas ties to pretend they invented the
1185
00:42:05,198 –> 00:42:05,678
Coney dog.
1186
00:42:05,678 –> 00:42:06,358
They didn’t.
1187
00:42:06,598 –> 00:42:09,958
It was right here at American Coney Island at the
1188
00:42:09,958 –> 00:42:12,198
corner of Lafayette Blvd.
1189
00:42:12,358 –> 00:42:13,318
And Michigan Ave.
1190
00:42:13,798 –> 00:42:14,678
Michigan Ave.
1191
00:42:15,038 –> 00:42:15,718
which runs to Chicago,
1192
00:42:15,718 –> 00:42:15,718
ends right here at American Coney Island.
1193
00:42:15,718 –> 00:42:15,718
Now I thought I would take the opportunity in lig
1194
00:42:15,718 –> 00:42:15,718
ht of all the dis and misinformation to put togeth
1195
00:42:27,958 –> 00:42:33,598
The true and valid history of the Coney Dog that the
1196
00:42:33,638 –> 00:42:35,158
United States Border Patrol.
1197
00:42:35,798 –> 00:42:36,518
What? What is that?
1198
00:42:36,518 –> 00:42:38,358
The you in the Del Rio sector?
1199
00:42:38,358 –> 00:42:38,358
Oh, no, no,
1200
00:42:38,358 –> 00:42:38,358
no. I’m in the Rio Grande Valley.
1201
00:42:38,358 –> 00:42:38,358
Oh, Rio Grande Valley.
1202
00:42:38,358 –> 00:42:38,358
Rio Grande Valley.
1203
00:42:38,358 –> 00:42:38,358
Yeah. That’
1204
00:42:38,358 –> 00:42:38,358
s the favorite of these guys.
1205
00:42:38,358 –> 00:42:38,358
And here,
1206
00:42:38,358 –> 00:42:38,358
Chris, is the story.
1207
00:42:38,358 –> 00:42:38,358
The true story of the Detroit Coney Dog deserves t
1208
00:42:38,358 –> 00:42:38,358
o be properly memorialized.
1209
00:42:55,718 –> 00:42:58,118
It stretches from the Old World mountains of Greece
1210
00:42:58,118 –> 00:43:00,838
to the New World boulevards of America.
1211
00:43:01,798 –> 00:43:05,038
It has prospered and multiplied and changed what and
1212
00:43:05,038 –> 00:43:05,958
how Americans eat,
1213
00:43:05,958 –> 00:43:05,958
and all the while become a cultural touchstone of
1214
00:43:05,958 –> 00:43:05,958
the Motor City.
1215
00:43:05,958 –> 00:43:05,958
It begins in the impoverished village of Dara,
1216
00:43:05,958 –> 00:43:05,958
when 16-year-
1217
00:43:05,958 –> 00:43:05,958
old Konstantinos Kyriakoupoulos is sent down the m
1218
00:43:05,958 –> 00:43:05,958
ountain by his father.
1219
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
Yes, his name was George II,
1220
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
to the docks of Patra to make his way in America.
1221
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
Gust buys a ticket,
1222
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
boards the Francisca,
1223
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
and lands at Ellis Island in November 1906.
1224
00:25:02,278 –> 00:25:02,278
Coming home from Coney Isle by Lens Spencer and A
1225
00:43:49,718 –> 00:43:50,798
There is a time,
1226
00:43:50,798 –> 00:43:50,798
a summer time A time we love to rest The breeze h
1227
00:43:50,798 –> 00:43:50,798
as blown that wet The owner of a single pair of sh
1228
00:43:50,798 –> 00:43:50,798
oes and unable to get much going,
1229
00:43:50,798 –> 00:43:50,798
young Gust heads to Detroit,
1230
00:43:50,798 –> 00:43:50,798
but not before the teenager sets his dark eyes up
1231
00:43:50,798 –> 00:43:50,798
on the electric lights of Coney Island,
1232
00:43:50,798 –> 00:43:50,798
Brooklyn.
1233
00:43:50,798 –> 00:43:50,798
He becomes intoxicated by its sounds and smells,
1234
00:43:50,798 –> 00:43:50,798
its loop-
1235
00:43:50,798 –> 00:43:50,798
the-loop roller coaster,
1236
00:43:50,798 –> 00:43:50,798
Tillu’s Ferris wheel,
1237
00:44:16,718 –> 00:44:19,558
and Charles Felton’s Coney Island Hot Dog Emporium.
1238
00:44:28,038 –> 00:44:29,038
Gus shines shoes,
1239
00:44:29,038 –> 00:44:29,038
pushes popcorn on Belle Island sweeps shops.
1240
00:44:29,038 –> 00:44:29,038
He sends for his younger brother Vasilios Billy Q
1241
00:44:29,038 –> 00:44:29,038
ueros, who makes his way down to 1910,
1242
00:44:29,038 –> 00:44:29,038
boards the SS Timostocles,
1243
00:44:29,038 –> 00:44:29,038
and finds his way to his brother in Boomtown,
1244
00:44:46,558 –> 00:44:48,758
Gus and Billy try their hand in the automobile and
1245
00:44:48,758 –> 00:44:49,158
pickling plants,
1246
00:44:49,158 –> 00:44:49,158
but settle on hat repair and shoe shining at a sm
1247
00:44:49,158 –> 00:44:49,158
all storefront at 115 Michigan Avenue near Lafayet
1248
00:44:49,158 –> 00:44:49,158
te Boulevard.
1249
00:44:49,158 –> 00:44:49,158
They install a grill in the corner where they roa
1250
00:44:49,158 –> 00:44:49,158
st hot dogs for sale.
1251
00:44:49,158 –> 00:44:49,158
The hot dogs catch on after Gus adds a homemade m
1252
00:44:49,158 –> 00:44:49,158
eat sauce,
1253
00:44:49,158 –> 00:44:49,158
a proprietary recipe that is still used today.
1254
00:44:49,158 –> 00:44:49,158
Remembering his time in Brooklyn,
1255
00:44:49,158 –> 00:44:49,158
Gus christens his creation,
1256
00:44:49,158 –> 00:44:49,158
Coney Islands,
1257
00:44:49,158 –> 00:44:49,158
in 1917, the same
1258
00:45:16,558 –> 00:45:19,398
year, alcohol is outlawed in Michigan.
1259
00:45:20,638 –> 00:45:22,998
Business is good at the New American Coney Island,
1260
00:45:23,318 –> 00:45:26,118
helped along by the speakeasy and gambling tables
1261
00:45:26,118 –> 00:45:26,838
in the basement.
1262
00:45:27,318 –> 00:45:28,278
So good, in fact,
1263
00:45:28,518 –> 00:45:31,118
that Billy opens his own joint directly next door
1264
00:45:31,118 –> 00:45:34,918
in 1929, calling it Lafayette Coney Island.
1265
00:45:45,878 –> 00:45:47,558
It is an amicable relationship.
1266
00:45:47,878 –> 00:45:49,798
The brothers prosper and have children.
1267
00:45:50,198 –> 00:45:51,878
Gust, the American Coney King,
1268
00:45:51,878 –> 00:45:55,078
begets George and Chuck and Joe and Ray.
1269
00:45:55,558 –> 00:45:57,318
Billy, the Lafayette Coney King,
1270
00:45:57,558 –> 00:46:00,198
begets George and Tony and John.
1271
00:46:00,758 –> 00:46:03,038
That makes two Georges and two Coney Islands on the
1272
00:46:03,038 –> 00:46:03,798
same block,
1273
00:46:04,038 –> 00:46:05,558
along with the arcade bar,
1274
00:46:05,878 –> 00:46:07,238
also owned by Gust.
1275
00:46:08,078 –> 00:46:08,838
Eventually,
1276
00:46:09,078 –> 00:46:11,878
Lafayette George assumes the crown from his father,
1277
00:46:12,838 –> 00:46:15,958
Likewise, Chuck inherits the American Kingdom from
1278
00:46:16,758 –> 00:46:17,478
Meanwhile,
1279
00:46:17,718 –> 00:46:18,838
Gust’s oldest son,
1280
00:46:18,838 –> 00:46:21,958
George, lands in France during the Normandy invasion.
1281
00:46:22,118 –> 00:46:23,718
with the American Armed Forces,
1282
00:46:24,118 –> 00:46:26,118
then falls in love with the Parisian woman.
1283
00:46:26,558 –> 00:46:28,038
He lives there for a few years,
1284
00:46:28,278 –> 00:46:30,358
appears in a few French B films,
1285
00:46:30,518 –> 00:46:32,518
falls out of love with the Parisian woman,
1286
00:46:32,678 –> 00:46:33,798
returns to Detroit,
1287
00:46:34,198 –> 00:46:36,518
only to find his brother has inherited the store.
1288
00:46:37,078 –> 00:46:38,118
As a consolation,
1289
00:46:38,478 –> 00:46:39,958
George is given the corner bar.
1290
00:46:40,758 –> 00:46:41,398
Meanwhile,
1291
00:46:41,718 –> 00:46:43,798
Chuck sends for his cousin back in Greece.
1292
00:46:44,118 –> 00:46:44,918
His name, too,
1293
00:46:44,918 –> 00:46:45,638
is George,
1294
00:46:45,798 –> 00:46:46,678
and with Chuck’s help,
1295
00:46:46,918 –> 00:46:49,878
cousin George from Greece opens his own Coney Island
1296
00:46:50,038 –> 00:46:51,398
in the suburbs of Detroit.
1297
00:46:52,038 –> 00:46:54,158
But he is another George for another time.
1298
00:46:54,918 –> 00:46:57,758
Lafayette George eventually sells his diner to his
1299
00:46:57,758 –> 00:46:58,518
employees,
1300
00:46:58,718 –> 00:46:59,958
where neither Karos’
1301
00:47:00,118 –> 00:47:00,998
nor George’s,
1302
00:47:01,158 –> 00:47:02,838
but rather Ali.
1303
00:47:03,078 –> 00:47:04,038
and Abdijah.
1304
00:47:05,238 –> 00:47:08,358
Lafayette George is survived by his sons Bill and Steven,
1305
00:47:08,518 –> 00:47:09,638
his daughters Leslie,
1306
00:47:09,718 –> 00:47:10,918
Sandra, and Madeline,
1307
00:47:11,158 –> 00:47:12,518
and five grandchildren.
1308
00:47:17,878 –> 00:47:20,518
Much has been made of the family feud between American
1309
00:47:20,518 –> 00:47:21,878
and Lafayette Coney Islands,
1310
00:47:22,198 –> 00:47:23,958
but it has been wildly overstated,
1311
00:47:23,958 –> 00:47:25,078
says Bill Carros,
1312
00:47:25,238 –> 00:47:26,758
the son of Lafayette George.
1313
00:47:27,638 –> 00:47:29,878
I used to be sent out on the street to steal customers
1314
00:47:29,878 –> 00:47:30,598
from American,
1315
00:47:30,598 –> 00:47:31,238
he recalls.
1316
00:47:31,558 –> 00:47:32,118
Believe me,
1317
00:47:32,318 –> 00:47:33,158
it wasn’t hard.
1318
00:47:34,918 –> 00:47:35,718
But we’re family.
1319
00:47:36,198 –> 00:47:37,478
We’ve always loved each other.
1320
00:47:38,278 –> 00:47:39,238
To which his cousin,
1321
00:47:39,238 –> 00:47:40,118
Grace Karos,
1322
00:47:40,358 –> 00:47:43,038
the current queen of American Coney Island and the
1323
00:47:43,038 –> 00:47:43,798
daughter of Chuck,
1324
00:47:43,798 –> 00:47:44,518
responds,
1325
00:47:45,078 –> 00:47:46,678
Yeah, we love each other,
1326
00:47:46,918 –> 00:47:48,438
but they were trying to steal customers.
1327
00:47:48,998 –> 00:47:51,038
How nice was that after all we did for them?
1328
00:47:52,678 –> 00:47:53,398
In Detroit,
1329
00:47:53,838 –> 00:47:54,678
Charlotte LaDuff,
1330
00:47:55,278 –> 00:47:56,518
no bullshit news.
1331
00:48:00,558 –> 00:48:01,118
That’s pretty cool.
1332
00:48:01,118 –> 00:48:02,678
What’d you find on that old footage?
1333
00:48:02,838 –> 00:48:08,358
You know, you got to remember in 1906,
1334
00:48:09,398 –> 00:48:10,998
most of the United States,
1335
00:48:10,998 –> 00:48:12,318
including New York,
1336
00:48:12,318 –> 00:48:13,758
didn’t have electricity.
1337
00:48:14,358 –> 00:48:16,318
So when Coney Island pops up,
1338
00:48:16,318 –> 00:48:18,118
this is a wonder of the world,
1339
00:48:18,758 –> 00:48:19,558
Lights everywhere.
1340
00:48:19,718 –> 00:48:23,758
That was filmed by Thomas Edison’s company cause he’s
1341
00:48:23,758 –> 00:48:25,158
the one that had lighted it.
1342
00:48:25,318 –> 00:48:27,078
So it’s in the National Archives.
1343
00:48:27,318 –> 00:48:27,918
That’s where we got.
1344
00:48:28,278 –> 00:48:28,758
OK, Chris,
1345
00:48:28,758 –> 00:48:29,158
did that.
1346
00:48:29,718 –> 00:48:30,998
Did that tickle your balls?
1347
00:48:32,078 –> 00:48:32,598
I like that,
1348
00:48:32,798 –> 00:48:33,558
That’s a lot of good,
1349
00:48:34,358 –> 00:48:34,838
you know,
1350
00:48:36,038 –> 00:48:36,478
good history.
1351
00:48:36,518 –> 00:48:38,278
I mean, we eat our hot dogs a little different down
1352
00:48:39,478 –> 00:48:41,398
We we do hot dogs wrapped in bacon.
1353
00:48:42,038 –> 00:48:42,718
You know, you wrap,
1354
00:48:42,838 –> 00:48:44,038
you bite bacon in anything,
1355
00:48:44,038 –> 00:48:45,198
man, and it’s going to turn out good.
1356
00:48:45,878 –> 00:48:47,838
But those Coney Island dogs probably are better than
1357
00:48:47,838 –> 00:48:48,718
than what we got down here.
1358
00:48:48,718 –> 00:48:50,278
I don’t think you can compare it to them.
1359
00:48:51,038 –> 00:48:51,958
Oh, we’ll leave it at that.
1360
00:48:51,958 –> 00:48:52,998
Except for this.
1361
00:48:53,398 –> 00:48:54,438
Answer me this,
1362
00:48:54,678 –> 00:48:55,798
since you’re in Texas.
1363
00:48:56,438 –> 00:48:58,678
Do you know why all you guys are circumcised?
1364
00:49:01,358 –> 00:49:02,038
I don’t know why.
1365
00:49:02,518 –> 00:49:04,878
So you got a place to put your chew while you’re brushing
1366
00:49:04,878 –> 00:49:05,398
your teeth.
1367
00:49:06,118 –> 00:49:11,758
Oh, I’m always looking for a place to put my chews
1368
00:49:11,838 –> 00:49:14,438
So, Cabrera,
1369
00:49:14,438 –> 00:49:15,318
thanks for being here,
1370
00:49:15,558 –> 00:49:16,758
It’s really great to see you.
1371
00:49:17,918 –> 00:49:19,238
Hey, it’s great to see you guys.
1372
00:49:19,438 –> 00:49:20,038
All of you guys.
1373
00:49:20,038 –> 00:49:20,558
I appreciate it,
1374
00:49:20,918 –> 00:49:21,718
Hope you’re doing well.
1375
00:49:21,758 –> 00:49:22,998
And, you know,
1376
00:49:22,998 –> 00:49:24,358
I’m always here if you guys need anything.
1377
00:49:24,678 –> 00:49:25,798
Did he just call you Robin?
1378
00:49:27,318 –> 00:49:27,638
I’m sorry,
1379
00:49:28,038 –> 00:49:29,398
Sorry, Karen.
1380
00:49:29,918 –> 00:49:30,918
I’ve been called worse.
1381
00:49:32,118 –> 00:49:32,518
All right,
1382
00:49:32,678 –> 00:49:33,318
next week.
1383
00:49:34,158 –> 00:49:34,758
That’s all right.
1384
00:49:34,838 –> 00:49:36,118
Tune it in next week.
1385
00:49:36,438 –> 00:49:39,238
Major news in the city of Detroit.
1386
00:49:39,318 –> 00:49:42,438
It should upend the governor’s race.
1387
00:49:43,158 –> 00:49:43,718
See you then.
