No BS Newshour Episode #351

Oh, we’re airing the dirty laundry.

 

Dana Nessel and the coterie of campaign operatives. 

So who investigates the Attorney General?

 

LA fires = Detroit Floods. Man-made disasters posing as climate change. 

Who holds the mayors and the public utilities to task? 

We do. Right here.

 

Pardon me? J6 Convicts v. Biden Crime Family. 

All go free. Which is worse?

 

The Detroit Lions lose and Pluto is once again a planet. 

Order has been restored in the Universe.

Transcript:

1
00:00:00,320 –> 00:00:04,080
Well, she did it again.

2
00:00:17,200 –> 00:00:21,120
Do you remember last week we told you one finger Freddy,

3
00:00:21,840 –> 00:00:23,360
the bogus signature collector,

4
00:00:24,000 –> 00:00:24,880
allegedly.

5
00:00:25,520 –> 00:00:28,080
Was charged nearly two years ago by Dana Nestle,

6
00:00:28,080 –> 00:00:30,160
and he still hasn’t seen a jury.

7
00:00:31,200 –> 00:00:31,920
You remember?

8
00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:34,960
And we’re wondering why.

9
00:00:36,640 –> 00:00:37,920
Oh, the devil’s workshop.

10
00:00:40,080 –> 00:00:40,800
This is why.

11
00:00:43,440 –> 00:00:45,280
What am I doing in a laundry machine?

12
00:00:45,960 –> 00:00:48,080
I’ll tell you what I’m doing in a laundry machine.

13
00:00:48,960 –> 00:00:52,160
Last week we asked why one finger Freddy over here.

14
00:00:52,400 –> 00:00:55,600
Hasn’t been put on trial for faking signatures that

15
00:00:55,600 –> 00:00:58,400
got his Republican clients kicked off the governor’s

16
00:00:58,400 –> 00:01:01,040
ballot almost three years ago.

17
00:01:01,120 –> 00:01:01,800
Allegedly.

18
00:01:01,800 –> 00:01:02,920
Let me get your autograph,

19
00:01:04,080 –> 00:01:04,720
Signature.

20
00:01:05,840 –> 00:01:06,560
There’s my signature.

21
00:01:07,040 –> 00:01:08,000
As it happens,

22
00:01:08,000 –> 00:01:11,600
our corpulent copywriter also worked for the wife

23
00:01:11,640 –> 00:01:14,160
of Michigan Attorney General Dana Nestle,

24
00:01:14,560 –> 00:01:18,560
gathering signatures for her gay rights ballot initiative.

25
00:01:18,920 –> 00:01:19,320
Please leave.

26
00:01:19,640 –> 00:01:20,720
What about the gays?

27
00:01:20,800 –> 00:01:21,680
You screwed that one up,

28
00:01:23,040 –> 00:01:24,640
But those signatures were bogus,

29
00:01:25,760 –> 00:01:28,240
But Nestle didn’t do anything about that one.

30
00:01:29,920 –> 00:01:31,840
And why hasn’t she stepped aside,

31
00:01:32,000 –> 00:01:34,240
considering the family connections and all?

32
00:01:34,640 –> 00:01:35,520
Can you just sign it,

33
00:01:35,680 –> 00:01:36,400
Dana Nestle?

34
00:01:36,720 –> 00:01:37,560
Can I get your autograph,

35
00:01:39,280 –> 00:01:40,480
And I’ll do it myself.

36
00:01:41,120 –> 00:01:42,560
Maybe because of this.

37
00:01:43,200 –> 00:01:45,880
Two months before Nestle announced charges against

38
00:01:45,880 –> 00:01:49,520
Freddie, the Secretary of State referred a separate

39
00:01:49,520 –> 00:01:51,280
criminal complaint to Nestle.

40
00:01:51,760 –> 00:01:55,520
This one alleging that the campaign being run by Nestle’s

41
00:01:55,520 –> 00:02:00,320
wife was using a charity as a front to pay Freddie.

42
00:02:00,960 –> 00:02:04,000
Please vet your vendors.

43
00:02:04,600 –> 00:02:07,920
While there are many legitimate businesses and consultants,

44
00:02:08,480 –> 00:02:10,160
there are also bad actors,

45
00:02:10,680 –> 00:02:15,440
criminals and fraudsters in any and every arena where

46
00:02:15,440 –> 00:02:18,080
large sums of money are being quickly spent.

47
00:02:18,560 –> 00:02:21,280
Now, charities are not required to disclose who gave

48
00:02:21,280 –> 00:02:23,840
them money or who they gave money to.

49
00:02:24,240 –> 00:02:26,880
It’s a perfect way to keep names quiet,

50
00:02:27,360 –> 00:02:30,400
but it’s illegal for the charity to be working in

51
00:02:30,400 –> 00:02:32,240
lockstep with a campaign.

52
00:02:32,640 –> 00:02:33,840
We will come for you.

53
00:02:34,000 –> 00:02:37,520
So the Secretary of State alleges it went like this.

54
00:02:38,240 –> 00:02:42,000
Donors gave money to a registered charity called Bipartisan

55
00:02:42,000 –> 00:02:42,720
Solutions,

56
00:02:42,960 –> 00:02:45,200
or BS for short.

57
00:02:46,000 –> 00:02:49,600
BS then gave money to Nestle’s wife campaign committee

58
00:02:49,760 –> 00:02:51,760
called Fair and Equal Michigan.

59
00:02:52,720 –> 00:02:55,520
Then Fair and Equal Michigan turned around and cut

60
00:02:55,520 –> 00:02:59,240
A5 figure check to Freddie’s company the very next

61
00:02:59,240 –> 00:03:03,280
day after getting the exact amount of money from BS.

62
00:03:03,520 –> 00:03:04,880
Sounds like a get-rich-quick scheme.

63
00:03:04,960 –> 00:03:06,000
Yes, thank you.

64
00:03:06,240 –> 00:03:07,200
You will get rich quick.

65
00:03:07,200 –> 00:03:07,920
We all will.

66
00:03:08,480 –> 00:03:11,320
Now it doesn’t appear that Nestle’s done anything with

67
00:03:11,320 –> 00:03:12,480
the criminal referral.

68
00:03:12,960 –> 00:03:15,920
I’m still waiting for her to drop 1/4 and pick up the

69
00:03:15,920 –> 00:03:17,680
phone and spin me,

70
00:03:18,240 –> 00:03:21,760
’cause things like this cling to you like a leftover

71
00:03:24,600 –> 00:03:25,680
Get the out of here,

72
00:03:26,360 –> 00:03:28,160
I agree with the attendant.

73
00:03:28,640 –> 00:03:30,560
Get the F out of here.

74
00:03:35,040 –> 00:03:37,160
Live from downtown Detroit,

75
00:03:37,520 –> 00:03:42,000
it’s the No Bullshit News Hour with my main man.

76
00:03:42,400 –> 00:03:48,440
Charlie Lelando and Jaren Dumas.

77
00:03:48,440 –> 00:03:52,720
Who’s just breaking this double or bullshit?

78
00:03:52,960 –> 00:03:53,840
Double or bullshit.

79
00:03:59,640 –> 00:04:01,280
Dude, with everything!

80
00:04:01,600 –> 00:04:02,800
I’d say to change price to go.

81
00:04:03,440 –> 00:04:04,560
Ready, set,

82
00:04:05,360 –> 00:04:06,480
go, Red, go!

83
00:04:07,840 –> 00:04:10,000
Detroit might not make it to the championships,

84
00:04:10,160 –> 00:04:12,360
but you can have a little bit of Detroit at your next

85
00:04:12,360 –> 00:04:13,520
championship party.

86
00:04:14,000 –> 00:04:15,240
American Coney Island,

87
00:04:15,240 –> 00:04:19,880

88
00:04:19,880 –> 00:04:20,720
to your door.

89
00:04:20,880 –> 00:04:22,880
That includes Alaska and Hawaii.

90
00:04:23,680 –> 00:04:26,560
Americanconeyisland.com The first,

91
00:04:26,800 –> 00:04:27,480
the best,

92
00:04:28,000 –> 00:04:29,480
and better than all the rest.

93
00:04:29,760 –> 00:04:32,880
And they can’t fly either.

94
00:04:36,320 –> 00:04:37,000
Yeah, baby,

95
00:04:37,320 –> 00:04:38,320
I’m going to Vegas.

96
00:04:38,320 –> 00:04:39,880
They got a Kony store there too,

97
00:04:40,080 –> 00:04:48,640
yeah! This message of Uplift is brought to you by

98
00:04:48,640 –> 00:04:51,440
business and personal wealth advisor Luke Nowacki,

99
00:04:51,760 –> 00:04:54,680
who reminds you that what does it profit a man to

100
00:04:54,720 –> 00:04:55,840
gain the whole world,

101
00:04:56,000 –> 00:04:57,840
but never enter the Kingdom of God?

102
00:04:58,640 –> 00:04:59,600
But while you’re waiting,

103
00:04:59,600 –> 00:05:02,240
Nowacki wants you to remember that overreaction is

104
00:05:02,240 –> 00:05:04,000
not a sound financial strategy.

105
00:05:04,320 –> 00:05:10,440
So call Luke Nowacki at 248-663-4748 for sound financial

106
00:05:11,120 –> 00:05:11,760
Archangel,

107
00:05:11,760 –> 00:05:13,760
are you an entrepreneur looking for a safe and socially

108
00:05:13,760 –> 00:05:15,360
responsible real estate investment?

109
00:05:15,840 –> 00:05:17,000
I don’t mean to make it sound like this,

110
00:05:17,000 –> 00:05:18,000
but it’s franchising.

111
00:05:18,480 –> 00:05:19,840
You are a caregiver.

112
00:05:21,120 –> 00:05:24,960
You buy the product from Archangel,

113
00:05:26,080 –> 00:05:26,960
the flow.

114
00:05:27,440 –> 00:05:28,960
They staff it for you.

115
00:05:29,440 –> 00:05:30,640
They get the property.

116
00:05:30,640 –> 00:05:33,840
That’s what the investors come in for and you.

117
00:05:34,240 –> 00:05:36,000
Like a restaurant,

118
00:05:36,160 –> 00:05:39,600
work it off and eventually you become the owner.

119
00:05:39,840 –> 00:05:41,360
The investor gets paid.

120
00:05:43,520 –> 00:05:46,680
The caregivers can actually end up being their own

121
00:05:48,720 –> 00:05:50,880
People get to live in communities.

122
00:05:51,200 –> 00:05:52,160
They’re clean,

123
00:05:52,320 –> 00:05:53,440
they’re small,

124
00:05:53,760 –> 00:05:54,640
they’re tight.

125
00:05:54,880 –> 00:05:57,920
If you are interested in investing,

126
00:05:58,880 –> 00:06:02,880
In this you get get a better explanation from Archangel

127
00:06:03,840 –> 00:06:06,720
989-614-0416.

128
00:06:06,720 –> 00:06:07,120
Believe me,

129
00:06:07,280 –> 00:06:08,160
this is the future.

130
00:06:08,160 –> 00:06:12,400
This is what’s happening 989-614-0416.

131
00:06:16,200 –> 00:06:17,400
What I found here on the wall.

132
00:06:17,400 –> 00:06:20,080
I don’t know why I hung it up there,

133
00:06:20,080 –> 00:06:21,680
but a letter from the editor,

134
00:06:21,680 –> 00:06:22,480
Detroit News,

135
00:06:22,480 –> 00:06:24,960
the attorney general’s complaint against the news.

136
00:06:25,960 –> 00:06:31,240
When she tweeted the rebuttal to my story about the

137
00:06:31,240 –> 00:06:33,560
Democratic State Party treasurer being accused of

138
00:06:33,560 –> 00:06:34,520
insurance fraud.

139
00:06:34,560 –> 00:06:35,720
And then the he wrote.

140
00:06:35,720 –> 00:06:36,920
This is unusually,

141
00:06:37,040 –> 00:06:39,760
unusually legalistic public and personal approach

142
00:06:40,000 –> 00:06:42,240
to pointing out alleged mistakes was curious,

143
00:06:42,560 –> 00:06:45,600
but did not alter our process of immediately reviewing

144
00:06:45,760 –> 00:06:47,360
the piece for possible errors.

145
00:06:48,640 –> 00:06:49,600
We have found none.

146
00:06:54,600 –> 00:06:55,280
What’d you make of that,

147
00:06:56,200 –> 00:06:57,040
Of which one?

148
00:06:58,400 –> 00:06:59,360
The money trail.

149
00:06:59,560 –> 00:07:01,280
I like that with one finger Freddy.

150
00:07:01,320 –> 00:07:02,240
But you know,

151
00:07:02,240 –> 00:07:03,120
I mean, I’m not.

152
00:07:03,160 –> 00:07:04,240
I’m not surprised.

153
00:07:04,480 –> 00:07:08,360
And I’m not surprised if nothing happens as a result

154
00:07:08,360 –> 00:07:10,320
of even you bringing this information to the forefront.

155
00:07:11,200 –> 00:07:11,760
I mean, nothing.

156
00:07:11,760 –> 00:07:12,800
Nothing ever changes.

157
00:07:12,960 –> 00:07:14,400
People shake their heads and they say,

158
00:07:14,400 –> 00:07:15,360
oh, that is terrible.

159
00:07:15,520 –> 00:07:16,880
And then they go on about their business.

160
00:07:16,960 –> 00:07:17,440
There’s no.

161
00:07:18,240 –> 00:07:19,840
There’s no repercussions for anything,

162
00:07:20,000 –> 00:07:21,000
no penalty for anything.

163
00:07:21,040 –> 00:07:22,400
Political consultant Jason Rowe,

164
00:07:22,400 –> 00:07:24,720
former executive director of the Michigan Republican

165
00:07:24,920 –> 00:07:25,480
What say ye?

166
00:07:26,480 –> 00:07:27,200
For six years,

167
00:07:27,200 –> 00:07:28,400
we’ve watched Dana Nestle,

168
00:07:28,400 –> 00:07:29,280
our attorney general,

169
00:07:29,280 –> 00:07:30,200
and Jocelyn Benson,

170
00:07:30,200 –> 00:07:31,200
our Secretary of State,

171
00:07:31,280 –> 00:07:35,360
act like adjuncts of the Democratic Party and not

172
00:07:35,680 –> 00:07:39,800
neutral enforcers of the law or supervisors of elections.

173
00:07:39,800 –> 00:07:42,320
They’ve been partisan the entire six years.

174
00:07:42,960 –> 00:07:44,240
We shouldn’t expect better from them,

175
00:07:44,240 –> 00:07:44,960
but, you know,

176
00:07:45,320 –> 00:07:46,800
I think those are two offices.

177
00:07:47,280 –> 00:07:49,400
That people expect some non-partisan,

178
00:07:49,400 –> 00:07:51,400
objective approach to the jobs that they’re doing,

179
00:07:51,400 –> 00:07:53,120
and neither one of them have ever displayed that.

180
00:07:53,760 –> 00:07:54,640
And this is curious,

181
00:07:54,640 –> 00:07:55,760
cause here’s a paper trail.

182
00:07:56,800 –> 00:07:58,000
A New York outfit,

183
00:07:59,840 –> 00:08:00,720
Called Fact.

184
00:08:00,920 –> 00:08:03,440
Hey, there’s some funny shit going on with the campaign

185
00:08:03,520 –> 00:08:04,560
contributions here.

186
00:08:05,520 –> 00:08:07,600
They’re referred to Benson’s office.

187
00:08:07,760 –> 00:08:09,760
They do a it’s almost a year.

188
00:08:10,400 –> 00:08:11,280
Yeah, we agree.

189
00:08:11,280 –> 00:08:12,720
Here’s a criminal referral.

190
00:08:12,720 –> 00:08:14,400
Who’s the criminal referral go to?

191
00:08:14,880 –> 00:08:15,760
Dana Nestle.

192
00:08:16,760 –> 00:08:17,600
According to the law,

193
00:08:17,600 –> 00:08:21,000
Dana Nestle’s got 60 business days to rule on that

194
00:08:21,240 –> 00:08:22,400
What are we going to do with this?

195
00:08:23,360 –> 00:08:25,600
All the principles have been called nothing.

196
00:08:25,760 –> 00:08:28,640
There’s nothing on public file that I can find that

197
00:08:28,640 –> 00:08:30,960
shows an adjudication of this.

198
00:08:31,200 –> 00:08:35,680
And what would Nestle be doing involved with any of

199
00:08:35,840 –> 00:08:36,960
You got to recuse yourself.

200
00:08:36,960 –> 00:08:39,760
You got to assign a special prosecutor for this,

201
00:08:39,920 –> 00:08:41,280
which she didn’t do in this case.

202
00:08:41,520 –> 00:08:42,400
She didn’t do it in the.

203
00:08:44,160 –> 00:08:45,600
Party treasurer case.

204
00:08:45,760 –> 00:08:46,640
She doesn’t do it in any.

205
00:08:46,720 –> 00:08:47,120
We’re not.

206
00:08:47,600 –> 00:08:48,560
I’m getting sick of it.

207
00:08:48,800 –> 00:08:49,760
It’s all theater.

208
00:08:49,920 –> 00:08:51,360
But she’s not had to do that.

209
00:08:51,360 –> 00:08:52,960
Again, it goes back to accountability.

210
00:08:52,960 –> 00:08:57,520
So as long as these folks are allowed to continue to

211
00:08:57,520 –> 00:09:00,640
do it, then we are deeming it acceptable and OK,

212
00:09:01,680 –> 00:09:02,360
well, and you know,

213
00:09:02,360 –> 00:09:04,400
and I don’t mean to sound like a partisan about this,

214
00:09:04,400 –> 00:09:07,240
but when Ruth Johnson was the Secretary of State,

215
00:09:07,240 –> 00:09:07,920
a Republican,

216
00:09:08,160 –> 00:09:10,880
she refused to endorse Republican candidates.

217
00:09:11,200 –> 00:09:11,840
In elections,

218
00:09:12,000 –> 00:09:15,120
because she felt her obligation as the Secretary of

219
00:09:15,120 –> 00:09:16,560
State overseeing elections,

220
00:09:16,560 –> 00:09:18,000
that she should stay out of that fray.

221
00:09:18,400 –> 00:09:20,960
When Bill Schuette was the attorney general,

222
00:09:21,120 –> 00:09:24,040
he indicted the Republican governor of the state.

223
00:09:24,040 –> 00:09:26,640
I mean, they demonstrated that they were willing to

224
00:09:26,640 –> 00:09:29,760
step outside of their partisan identities to do the

225
00:09:30,320 –> 00:09:31,840
You know, whether you agreed with it or not,

226
00:09:32,240 –> 00:09:34,120
that that that’s how they felt to do their job.

227
00:09:34,560 –> 00:09:35,760
These two have done nothing.

228
00:09:35,920 –> 00:09:38,440
So what you’re talking about is Bill Schuette assigned

229
00:09:38,440 –> 00:09:39,840
a special investigation.

230
00:09:40,400 –> 00:09:41,640
Into the Flint debacle,

231
00:09:41,640 –> 00:09:44,880
which goes up to Republic former Republican Governor

232
00:09:45,280 –> 00:09:46,160
Rick Snyder.

233
00:09:48,080 –> 00:09:49,200
What happened to that case?

234
00:09:50,400 –> 00:09:53,840
Nestle bungled it like she did the Nasser.

235
00:10:05,240 –> 00:10:07,360
Charlie, what happened to to the to the trip?

236
00:10:07,360 –> 00:10:09,720
Remember you did the story about the trip and the money

237
00:10:09,720 –> 00:10:10,280
and the whole night.

238
00:10:10,280 –> 00:10:11,640
I mean, so whatever happened to that?

239
00:10:11,640 –> 00:10:12,960
Oh, you mean the trip to Turks and Caicos?

240
00:10:13,040 –> 00:10:17,480
Yes, like with a prominent Michigan attorney and the

241
00:10:17,480 –> 00:10:20,080
bill was picked up by the attorney’s company.

242
00:10:20,080 –> 00:10:21,680
Therefore it must have been business.

243
00:10:22,000 –> 00:10:25,440
And then one question gets asked of Madam Attorney

244
00:10:25,440 –> 00:10:26,840
General and she says it’s been paid for.

245
00:10:26,840 –> 00:10:28,400
Don’t worry about it and we all go away.

246
00:10:28,720 –> 00:10:29,680
Where’s the receipts?

247
00:10:29,920 –> 00:10:30,800
Bank statement?

248
00:10:32,800 –> 00:10:35,360
Public service has been replaced with self-service.

249
00:10:35,360 –> 00:10:37,600
You know what’s funny about that Turks and Caicos trips

250
00:10:37,840 –> 00:10:41,440
is Nestle and her wife had barely toweled off.

251
00:10:42,200 –> 00:10:47,480
OK, when this criminal referral comes to Nestle and

252
00:10:47,480 –> 00:10:50,240
then not ten weeks after that,

253
00:10:50,320 –> 00:10:53,040
Nestle announces charges against one finger Freddie

254
00:10:53,360 –> 00:10:55,680
in the scam of the Republican candidates.

255
00:10:55,840 –> 00:10:58,000
But we didn’t hear anything about this.

256
00:10:58,800 –> 00:11:00,720
And I think this is the reason we weren’t supposed

257
00:11:00,720 –> 00:11:02,400
to hear anything about this,

258
00:11:02,720 –> 00:11:04,040
but now we’ve heard it.

259
00:11:04,080 –> 00:11:05,200
So what does it do?

260
00:11:05,680 –> 00:11:06,720
It’s kind of a new era.

261
00:11:07,080 –> 00:11:08,160
Remember the printing press?

262
00:11:09,200 –> 00:11:11,840
OK, now we’ve got the Internet.

263
00:11:12,240 –> 00:11:15,200
And so media has changed.

264
00:11:15,760 –> 00:11:18,240
People are very interested in this.

265
00:11:18,400 –> 00:11:21,680
And if you are listening and you want to see that,

266
00:11:21,680 –> 00:11:23,080
you can go to my X page,

267

Charlie Duff.

268
00:11:23,760 –> 00:11:25,760
You can go to the Michigan Enjoyer,

269
00:11:25,920 –> 00:11:27,120

270
00:11:27,760 –> 00:11:28,560

the links,

272
00:11:29,920 –> 00:11:32,480
everything will be posted tomorrow,

Thursday.

274
00:11:34,720 –> 00:11:35,360
Anything else?

275
00:11:35,360 –> 00:11:35,920

282
00:11:39,680 –> 00:11:40,520
Man, this,

283
00:11:40,520 –> 00:11:41,360
this was a bear.

284
00:11:41,440 –> 00:11:43,360
And I called them all and nothing.

285
00:11:44,400 –> 00:11:45,280
Give me the bullshit.

286
00:11:45,280 –> 00:11:46,160
Okie doke answer.

287
00:11:46,880 –> 00:11:47,200
Well, you know,

288
00:11:47,200 –> 00:11:48,320
go back a little bit further.

289
00:11:48,320 –> 00:11:51,440
Remember Gretchen’s private plane flight down to Florida?

290
00:11:52,400 –> 00:11:55,600
Three different excuses as to who paid for it based

291
00:11:55,600 –> 00:11:57,560
on the laws that she was breaking.

292
00:11:57,560 –> 00:11:59,200
And every time she said,

293
00:11:59,200 –> 00:12:02,400
Oh well, this was paid for by X and then you’d find

294
00:12:02,400 –> 00:12:03,840
out that that was illegal.

295
00:12:03,880 –> 00:12:04,880
And then she would come back.

296
00:12:04,880 –> 00:12:06,400
Oh no, it was paid for by Y.

297
00:12:06,400 –> 00:12:07,400
Then we find out that’s.

298
00:12:07,400 –> 00:12:08,960
I mean, there were three different excuses.

299
00:12:09,280 –> 00:12:12,480
The Secretary of State and the attorney general both

300
00:12:14,000 –> 00:12:18,320
Jurisdiction over that violation of campaign finance

301
00:12:18,320 –> 00:12:19,360
law or ethics.

302
00:12:19,680 –> 00:12:24,240
And neither of them did a thing to hold Whitmer accountable

303
00:12:24,240 –> 00:12:28,360
for accepting a $25,000 private plane round-trip flight

304
00:12:28,360 –> 00:12:30,160
with her kids while the rest of us all had to stay

305
00:12:30,160 –> 00:12:31,360
home during spring break.

306
00:12:31,360 –> 00:12:32,160
And she got to go,

307
00:12:32,480 –> 00:12:32,800
you know,

308
00:12:32,920 –> 00:12:35,320
on a on a big donor’s plane down to Florida to visit

309
00:12:35,320 –> 00:12:35,760
her father.

310
00:12:35,760 –> 00:12:37,000
Now how did that end up being?

311
00:12:37,200 –> 00:12:39,400
What is the bullshit they pass along to the public?

312
00:12:39,520 –> 00:12:40,640
Yes, it was.

313
00:12:41,760 –> 00:12:43,600
I paid for Manoma campaign.

314
00:12:43,880 –> 00:12:45,400
My campaign can and a bit,

315
00:12:45,400 –> 00:12:48,880
a bit, a bit in the end and you still haven’t answered

316
00:12:48,960 –> 00:12:55,360
Gretch, you say that your campaign paid for it cause

317
00:12:55,360 –> 00:12:57,880
you had business down there during COVID and you didn’t

318
00:12:57,880 –> 00:12:59,840
even tell the Florida State Police you were coming,

319
00:12:59,880 –> 00:13:01,680
which is highly unusual.

320
00:13:02,400 –> 00:13:06,080
So where it stands right now is your campaign paid

321
00:13:07,400 –> 00:13:09,680
I’m assuming you cut a check and you booked it in your

322
00:13:09,680 –> 00:13:10,960
campaign filings.

323
00:13:12,000 –> 00:13:13,320
Did the check ever get cashed?

324
00:13:16,560 –> 00:13:18,800
Hey, all you numb nuts from the dying media.

325
00:13:18,800 –> 00:13:19,840
This is why you’re dying.

326
00:13:21,600 –> 00:13:25,200
I I want to see a cashed check because the businessmen

327
00:13:25,360 –> 00:13:27,480
who own the airplane or lease it,

328
00:13:27,480 –> 00:13:28,360
what what have you,

329
00:13:28,640 –> 00:13:31,840
are not allowed to sell seats on it because they’re

330
00:13:31,840 –> 00:13:34,800
not a registered charter business with the feds.

331
00:13:34,960 –> 00:13:37,040
And you’re telling me that was excuse one,

332
00:13:37,040 –> 00:13:38,040
that was excuse one.

333
00:13:38,040 –> 00:13:40,160
And then all of a sudden they came back and did excuse

334
00:13:40,160 –> 00:13:43,640
3, which was excuse one and excuse one’s out of bounds.

335
00:13:44,240 –> 00:13:44,720
And you know,

336
00:13:44,720 –> 00:13:46,960
I got a phone with some numbers in it.

337
00:13:47,200 –> 00:13:48,880
Did they cash the check?

338
00:13:49,160 –> 00:13:49,880
I’ll tell you right now.

339
00:13:50,520 –> 00:13:52,440
And where are the Attorney General and the Secretary

340
00:13:52,440 –> 00:13:55,960
of State to investigate or enforce these laws?

341
00:14:09,240 –> 00:14:11,840
This is a sorority that has penalized the state from

342
00:14:11,840 –> 00:14:12,600
top to bottom,

343
00:14:12,720 –> 00:14:13,840
and that’s exactly what it is.

344
00:14:13,840 –> 00:14:16,480
You can’t say sorority and penal in the same sense.

345
00:14:16,640 –> 00:14:17,240
That’s so.

346
00:14:18,520 –> 00:14:20,680
Am I going to get in trouble?

347
00:14:21,480 –> 00:14:22,240
Movie in LA,

348
00:14:24,240 –> 00:14:24,920
which, by the way,

349
00:14:25,880 –> 00:14:27,400
stay tuned a little later in the show.

350
00:14:27,400 –> 00:14:32,920
I’m going to explain to you how the LA fires and the

351
00:14:32,920 –> 00:14:35,320
Detroit floods are the same thing.

352
00:14:35,880 –> 00:14:36,760
And don’t buy it.

353
00:14:36,760 –> 00:14:39,720
You’re completely being bullshitted.

354
00:14:39,720 –> 00:14:41,720
This is outrageous.

355
00:14:42,280 –> 00:14:42,880
Hang with it.

356
00:14:42,880 –> 00:14:44,760
But first we got to go to Washington,

357
00:14:44,760 –> 00:14:47,200
DC Let’s talk pardons.

358
00:14:47,200 –> 00:14:48,280
Which one you want to do first?

359
00:14:48,280 –> 00:14:50,600
Trump’s pardons or Biden’s pardons?

360
00:14:51,160 –> 00:14:51,720
I’m taking a poll.

361
00:14:51,720 –> 00:14:52,520
Which one you want to do?

362
00:14:52,520 –> 00:14:53,320
Doesn’t matter.

363
00:14:53,320 –> 00:14:54,440
OK, which one you want to do?

364
00:14:54,720 –> 00:14:55,560
Let’s start with Biden.

365
00:14:56,440 –> 00:14:56,640
Oh, oh, Dick.

366
00:14:56,720 –> 00:14:58,040
That’s a partisan answer.

367
00:14:58,440 –> 00:15:00,680
The Biden crime family.

368
00:15:01,400 –> 00:15:04,040
I mean, what’s his brother’s name?

369
00:15:04,560 –> 00:15:05,520
I think so.

370
00:15:05,520 –> 00:15:07,000
James Hunter.

371
00:15:07,800 –> 00:15:08,520
Another brother.

372
00:15:08,520 –> 00:15:10,120
I never heard of the wives.

373
00:15:10,600 –> 00:15:15,640
You’re pardoning them all the way back to 2014.

374
00:15:16,280 –> 00:15:18,280
What happened in 2014?

375
00:15:21,080 –> 00:15:23,800
Wasn’t Hunter flying around with his daddy when he

376
00:15:23,800 –> 00:15:24,840
going to China with him?

377
00:15:25,240 –> 00:15:26,520
Now we know they were golfing.

378
00:15:26,520 –> 00:15:28,280
Now we know they were lunching,

379
00:15:29,160 –> 00:15:30,360
And and Biden,

380
00:15:30,360 –> 00:15:30,680
by the way,

381
00:15:30,680 –> 00:15:33,440
swore he never met with these people at any occasion.

382
00:15:33,440 –> 00:15:35,800
And then the archives finally releases photographic

383
00:15:35,800 –> 00:15:36,680
evidence of it.

384
00:15:37,120 –> 00:15:39,480
And the laptop’s fake and it’s not faking.

385
00:15:39,480 –> 00:15:40,520
And I’m sorry,

386
00:15:40,520 –> 00:15:40,760
you know,

387
00:15:40,880 –> 00:15:46,200
I’m getting real tired of this lame ass student body

388
00:15:46,200 –> 00:15:47,000
president.

389
00:15:47,200 –> 00:15:50,200
What’s left of the mainstream media trying to boss

390
00:15:50,200 –> 00:15:53,080
us around and tell us how to think because they have

391
00:15:53,080 –> 00:15:54,040
no courage,

392
00:15:54,680 –> 00:15:59,000
The running interference and the old crabby whiskered.

393
00:16:00,360 –> 00:16:04,600
Bothersome buzzing fly that used to be reporters is

394
00:16:04,880 –> 00:16:06,520
They don’t even knock on doors anymore.

395
00:16:07,000 –> 00:16:07,960
They don’t.

396
00:16:08,280 –> 00:16:08,960
They don’t.

397
00:16:09,080 –> 00:16:09,800
It was a lie.

398
00:16:09,920 –> 00:16:11,080
And this is proof.

399
00:16:11,800 –> 00:16:13,320
We got sold out,

400
00:16:16,200 –> 00:16:19,800
So do you think I think this could backfire because

401
00:16:19,800 –> 00:16:23,720
now everybody has to testify truthfully because there’s

402
00:16:23,720 –> 00:16:24,680
no consequence,

403
00:16:25,760 –> 00:16:26,760
Tell me the truth.

404
00:16:27,320 –> 00:16:29,120
Because there’s no consequence for you.

405
00:16:29,120 –> 00:16:30,080
You’ve been pardoned.

406
00:16:30,200 –> 00:16:32,560
You don’t have a Fifth Amendment right anymore,

407
00:16:33,320 –> 00:16:33,960
It’s it’s.

408
00:16:34,840 –> 00:16:39,800
But if you don’t tell the truth a new and fresh,

409
00:16:40,920 –> 00:16:42,920
that’s perjury and that’s a felony.

410
00:16:43,400 –> 00:16:45,560
And I’m assuming the documents,

411
00:16:45,560 –> 00:16:46,680
all of the documents,

412
00:16:47,560 –> 00:16:48,680
these documents,

413
00:16:48,920 –> 00:16:49,960
the deep state,

414
00:16:49,960 –> 00:16:51,000
the 51 former.

415
00:16:51,240 –> 00:16:53,480
And did you like that Bolton got his?

416
00:16:54,120 –> 00:16:55,240
Security clearance stripped.

417
00:16:55,480 –> 00:16:56,560
No, I didn’t like that.

418
00:16:56,560 –> 00:16:57,200
I loved it.

419
00:16:57,720 –> 00:17:00,520
This guy has a target on him from Iran.

420
00:17:00,520 –> 00:17:03,000
Regardless of how Trump feels about John Bolton and

421
00:17:03,000 –> 00:17:03,800
his criticism,

422
00:17:04,120 –> 00:17:04,760
this dude,

423
00:17:04,920 –> 00:17:08,600
like, helped assassinate Iranian terrorists.

424
00:17:08,920 –> 00:17:11,440
And we’re taking away his security detail over some

425
00:17:11,440 –> 00:17:12,200
petty bullshit.

426
00:17:12,200 –> 00:17:17,080
Yeah, I I like the idea of all 51 of the former intel.

427
00:17:17,800 –> 00:17:18,280
Like, yeah,

428
00:17:18,360 –> 00:17:18,920
fuck them.

429
00:17:18,920 –> 00:17:20,880
This isn’t a lifetime appointment where you get to

430
00:17:20,920 –> 00:17:21,800
know everything,

431
00:17:22,120 –> 00:17:23,160
You you’re done.

432
00:17:23,560 –> 00:17:26,520
You no one’s allowed to discuss anything with you.

433
00:17:26,600 –> 00:17:28,920
And then you don’t have your TV contracts.

434
00:17:29,160 –> 00:17:31,880
And then we don’t have this echo chamber of misleading

435
00:17:31,880 –> 00:17:33,000
us and bullshitting us.

436
00:17:33,000 –> 00:17:35,080
Well, intelligent officials shouldn’t be involving

437
00:17:35,080 –> 00:17:35,960
themselves in campaigns,

438
00:17:37,160 –> 00:17:38,520
So yeah, take those guys.

439
00:17:38,840 –> 00:17:40,120
The keyword was intelligent.

440
00:17:43,240 –> 00:17:44,480
It was counterintelligence.

441
00:17:48,360 –> 00:17:51,200
It’s obvious to me now the the January 6th pardons

442
00:17:51,200 –> 00:17:52,120
where you stand on those,

443
00:17:52,960 –> 00:17:54,360
I know I sprung that on you.

444
00:17:54,440 –> 00:17:55,640
No, not necessarily.

445
00:17:55,640 –> 00:17:58,520
I mean, I I hate to say it,

446
00:17:58,520 –> 00:18:02,440
but I’m becoming so I don’t care about so much stuff

447
00:18:02,680 –> 00:18:05,480
because I’m finding that caring doesn’t really make

448
00:18:05,480 –> 00:18:06,360
a difference anymore.

449
00:18:07,480 –> 00:18:08,600
You do too.

450
00:18:08,680 –> 00:18:09,680
Well, I I care,

451
00:18:09,680 –> 00:18:10,280
but I don’t care.

452
00:18:10,280 –> 00:18:11,680
Karen does make a difference.

453
00:18:11,720 –> 00:18:13,400
Well, I’m not even thinking about that.

454
00:18:13,400 –> 00:18:13,880
I’m thinking,

455
00:18:13,880 –> 00:18:17,800
Charlie, as much as people realize how much BS goes

456
00:18:18,080 –> 00:18:19,880
on and what just nothing matters.

457
00:18:19,880 –> 00:18:21,400
It’s almost like nothing matters anymore.

458
00:18:21,400 –> 00:18:22,280
And right and wrong,

459
00:18:22,680 –> 00:18:24,600
wrong, right and wrong don’t matter anymore.

460
00:18:24,760 –> 00:18:25,320
That’s what I’m saying.

461
00:18:25,320 –> 00:18:27,040
I thought you said Karen doesn’t matter.

462
00:18:27,040 –> 00:18:27,960
I’m like, you’re better.

463
00:18:28,040 –> 00:18:29,640
You’re better than me,

464
00:18:29,960 –> 00:18:31,080
Well, that’s all that matters.

465
00:18:31,080 –> 00:18:32,360
No, I wasn’t saying that.

466
00:18:32,400 –> 00:18:34,760
I’m saying that caring about things.

467
00:18:35,240 –> 00:18:37,320
It doesn’t matter as much anymore.

468
00:18:37,320 –> 00:18:38,520
Like when you care about things,

469
00:18:38,680 –> 00:18:40,320
Jason, is that a defeatist attitude?

470
00:18:40,800 –> 00:18:41,720
It’s one I’ve embraced.

471
00:18:41,760 –> 00:18:44,440
I’m right along with Karen in the sense that there’s

472
00:18:44,440 –> 00:18:47,320
some stuff that it doesn’t matter how much I get mad

473
00:18:47,320 –> 00:18:47,720
about it.

474
00:18:47,720 –> 00:18:50,360
And I don’t think the blanket pardons by Trump were

475
00:18:50,400 –> 00:18:50,920
a good move.

476
00:18:51,240 –> 00:18:53,560
I would have thought even a majority of those people

477
00:18:53,560 –> 00:18:54,680
shouldn’t have gone through.

478
00:18:54,680 –> 00:18:55,440
I mean, there’s too many.

479
00:18:55,440 –> 00:18:58,120
I mean, not that many people were actually causing

480
00:18:58,120 –> 00:18:58,600
violence,

481
00:18:58,600 –> 00:19:00,120
assaulting police officers.

482
00:19:00,360 –> 00:19:03,240
I think this was a Department of Justice that was trying

483
00:19:03,240 –> 00:19:03,800
to punish.

484
00:19:04,840 –> 00:19:05,880
Biden’s enemies.

485
00:19:06,120 –> 00:19:08,120
But I also think,

486
00:19:08,120 –> 00:19:11,000
and I believe what JD Vance said a few weeks ago,

487
00:19:11,000 –> 00:19:13,240
that they were going to be judicious about who got

488
00:19:13,240 –> 00:19:14,000
commutations,

489
00:19:14,000 –> 00:19:14,760
who got pardons.

490
00:19:15,080 –> 00:19:18,200
But I think it was the Biden move in the 11th hour

491
00:19:18,200 –> 00:19:19,320
of his presidency,

492
00:19:19,640 –> 00:19:21,640
pardoning his family preemptively,

493
00:19:21,880 –> 00:19:23,880
that basically gave Trump license.

494
00:19:23,880 –> 00:19:25,400
And in Axios this morning,

495
00:19:25,680 –> 00:19:27,680
the headline of the article is fuck it,

496
00:19:27,680 –> 00:19:28,440
pardon them all.

497
00:19:28,760 –> 00:19:30,280
Because that was the attitude,

498
00:19:30,280 –> 00:19:32,520
I think, as they were probably talking about who guts

499
00:19:32,520 –> 00:19:33,280
it and who doesn’t.

500
00:19:33,480 –> 00:19:35,160
Trump’s reaction was after that,

501
00:19:35,600 –> 00:19:36,040
harden them all.

502
00:19:36,400 –> 00:19:37,720
So, but I think you’re right.

503
00:19:37,720 –> 00:19:41,200
I think we’re all so desensitized to the nonsense that

504
00:19:41,200 –> 00:19:42,760
doesn’t affect our daily lives,

505
00:19:42,760 –> 00:19:45,200
that it’s there’s no reason getting my Irish up over

506
00:19:45,880 –> 00:19:47,840
There’s plenty of other things that are legitimate

507
00:19:47,840 –> 00:19:48,760
to get pissed off about.

508
00:19:48,840 –> 00:19:51,240
It all becomes personal because because of what Biden

509
00:19:51,480 –> 00:19:51,960
So Trump said,

510
00:19:51,960 –> 00:19:52,960
hey, I’m going to one up you.

511
00:19:52,960 –> 00:19:53,680
If you’re going to do that,

512
00:19:53,680 –> 00:19:54,600
then I’m going to do this.

513
00:19:54,600 –> 00:19:55,960
I don’t think he one upped him.

514
00:19:56,920 –> 00:20:00,760
But I think he tied him and I look 1000 of those people.

515
00:20:00,760 –> 00:20:01,440
Come on, man,

516
00:20:01,440 –> 00:20:02,280
that’s political.

517
00:20:02,280 –> 00:20:03,200
You’re walking around.

518
00:20:03,200 –> 00:20:03,640
It’s nothing.

519
00:20:03,960 –> 00:20:04,840
But I’m sorry.

520
00:20:06,440 –> 00:20:07,480
You beat a cop.

521
00:20:07,880 –> 00:20:09,560
You’re smashing windows.

522
00:20:11,560 –> 00:20:13,240
22 years might be excessive.

523
00:20:13,320 –> 00:20:14,680
It’s gonna be a couple years.

524
00:20:14,720 –> 00:20:16,360
A commutation would have been good.

525
00:20:16,440 –> 00:20:17,160
Like, look,

526
00:20:17,160 –> 00:20:19,440
here’s the difference between the Biden family and

527
00:20:19,440 –> 00:20:20,920
even the violent J6ers.

528
00:20:21,520 –> 00:20:22,920
The violent J6ers.

529
00:20:23,240 –> 00:20:24,280
Have been convicted.

530
00:20:24,520 –> 00:20:25,880
They’re sitting in the can.

531
00:20:26,120 –> 00:20:29,960
To me, that’s historically what a commutation or a

532
00:20:29,960 –> 00:20:31,200
pardon involves.

533
00:20:31,320 –> 00:20:33,960
Not I’m going to whatever you might have done for the

534
00:20:33,960 –> 00:20:35,000
last decade.

535
00:20:35,400 –> 00:20:36,560
You know, you get a Mulligan.

536
00:20:36,920 –> 00:20:38,280
I don’t even think that’s legal.

537
00:20:38,680 –> 00:20:39,720
But having said that,

538
00:20:40,040 –> 00:20:42,720
I’m going to give you a commutation like Kwame Kilpatrick

539
00:20:42,720 –> 00:20:44,840
got, because 28 years was excessive.

540
00:20:45,280 –> 00:20:47,320
As much as I detest public corruption,

541
00:20:47,480 –> 00:20:48,840
28 freaking years,

542
00:20:49,160 –> 00:20:49,960
he did his seven.

543
00:20:50,040 –> 00:20:52,040
Murderers don’t serve 28 years.

544
00:20:52,040 –> 00:20:52,400
Thank you.

545
00:20:52,400 –> 00:20:52,640
Thank you.

546
00:20:52,640 –> 00:20:53,720
They do 20 here.

547
00:20:54,360 –> 00:20:55,520
So you get your seven.

548
00:20:55,560 –> 00:20:56,200
You did your time.

549
00:20:58,360 –> 00:20:59,200
Give him clemency,

550
00:20:59,200 –> 00:21:00,040
which is OK.

551
00:21:00,360 –> 00:21:01,560
Anybody that hit a cop,

552
00:21:01,560 –> 00:21:02,600
grabbed his Taser,

553
00:21:02,680 –> 00:21:03,560
smash windows,

554
00:21:03,720 –> 00:21:05,000
you’re doing one more.

555
00:21:05,640 –> 00:21:06,760
You’re doing one more.

556
00:21:07,080 –> 00:21:10,040
So you don’t really have a friend in the White House

557
00:21:10,360 –> 00:21:11,880
that’s putting up with this bullshit,

558
00:21:12,200 –> 00:21:13,400
but it’s excessive.

559
00:21:14,840 –> 00:21:15,400
It really is,

560
00:21:16,360 –> 00:21:16,760
All right.

561
00:21:16,760 –> 00:21:18,840
So we’re any anything to add to that?

562
00:21:19,640 –> 00:21:19,840
All right,

563
00:21:19,840 –> 00:21:22,120
let’s go to Trump’s executive orders.

564
00:21:22,120 –> 00:21:26,040
And I only want to talk about the border because that

565
00:21:26,040 –> 00:21:28,600
is the number one issue that he can directly affect.

566
00:21:28,600 –> 00:21:32,280
So we have declaring the cartels,

567
00:21:32,280 –> 00:21:33,720
Mara Salvatrucha,

568
00:21:34,520 –> 00:21:40,280
the Train de Aragua as international terror organizations.

569
00:21:40,920 –> 00:21:41,800
Does that mean?

570
00:21:43,240 –> 00:21:45,320
We can invade Mexico and go get these guys.

571
00:21:45,320 –> 00:21:46,520
Or is that of an act of war?

572
00:21:48,760 –> 00:21:51,080
It’s probably technically an act of war,

573
00:21:51,400 –> 00:21:53,240
but if I’m Claudia Shinebaum,

574
00:21:53,320 –> 00:21:55,320
the the new president of Mexico.

575
00:21:55,720 –> 00:21:59,080
I probably welcome a little help dealing with the cartels

576
00:21:59,080 –> 00:21:59,800
because, I mean,

577
00:21:59,800 –> 00:22:01,160
one, having said that,

578
00:22:01,320 –> 00:22:03,200
I don’t think you become president of Mexico with

579
00:22:03,200 –> 00:22:05,440
a lot of without a little bit of complicity with the

580
00:22:06,160 –> 00:22:09,000
They’re not letting their enemies become president.

581
00:22:09,160 –> 00:22:11,400
So she’s probably had to play footsie with them at

582
00:22:11,400 –> 00:22:11,960
some level.

583
00:22:12,280 –> 00:22:14,760
But given what’s going on in that country with the

584
00:22:14,760 –> 00:22:17,560
cartels basically holding the government hostage at

585
00:22:17,560 –> 00:22:20,240
every level from the locals up to the president.

586
00:22:20,600 –> 00:22:24,040
Having us declare that is great on the executive orders.

587
00:22:24,040 –> 00:22:25,000
I think they’re phenomenal.

588
00:22:25,000 –> 00:22:26,640
He said he was going to do all these things.

589
00:22:26,640 –> 00:22:28,840
He’s taking executive action that,

590
00:22:29,080 –> 00:22:29,320
you know,

591
00:22:29,960 –> 00:22:32,280
not all of it is legally enforceable,

592
00:22:32,280 –> 00:22:32,840
but you know what?

593
00:22:32,840 –> 00:22:35,560
It’s going to make it have a chilling effect on those

594
00:22:35,560 –> 00:22:37,320
people that are here illegally,

595
00:22:37,320 –> 00:22:38,200
who don’t want to spend,

596
00:22:38,520 –> 00:22:38,760
you know,

597
00:22:38,760 –> 00:22:41,000
the next four years looking over their shoulder and

598
00:22:41,000 –> 00:22:43,280
all those people that might be on their way here to

599
00:22:43,280 –> 00:22:46,200
turn around and head back because it’s no longer going

600
00:22:46,200 –> 00:22:47,160
to be welcome.

601
00:22:47,160 –> 00:22:48,760
Here’s your welfare card.

602
00:22:49,240 –> 00:22:52,280
See you at an arraignment maybe and let these people

603
00:22:52,280 –> 00:22:53,320
run wild in the country.

604
00:22:53,480 –> 00:22:55,800
But the declaration against the the cartel,

605
00:22:55,800 –> 00:22:58,200
I mean we think about the the guys you always talk

606
00:22:58,200 –> 00:22:58,920
to on the border.

607
00:22:58,920 –> 00:23:02,440
I mean what does that mean in terms of our ability

608
00:23:02,600 –> 00:23:06,760
to actually do anything against the cartel?

609
00:23:06,840 –> 00:23:09,080
I mean we’ve been talking about we can freeze assets,

610
00:23:09,880 –> 00:23:13,400
We remember we picked up basically the chairman of

611
00:23:13,400 –> 00:23:15,240
their Joint Chiefs of Staff at LAX.

612
00:23:15,640 –> 00:23:17,600
We ended up giving him back and he disappeared.

613
00:23:19,240 –> 00:23:23,400
Extradited the basically the Mexican equivalent of

614
00:23:23,400 –> 00:23:25,560
the FBI because they’re all working with the cartels.

615
00:23:25,800 –> 00:23:28,600
So this creates more pressure,

616
00:23:29,000 –> 00:23:30,480
We like you can freeze assets,

617
00:23:30,480 –> 00:23:34,760
you can any country doing business with the cartels

618
00:23:34,840 –> 00:23:36,520
like Sheinbaum could be in trouble.

619
00:23:37,000 –> 00:23:39,800
So I mean it does give you some strength.

620
00:23:39,880 –> 00:23:40,680
Having said that,

621
00:23:40,880 –> 00:23:44,080
another executive order was Trump sent the military

622
00:23:44,080 –> 00:23:47,560
to the border right and declared a national emergency.

623
00:23:48,600 –> 00:23:51,720
It’s a flex right there.

624
00:23:51,880 –> 00:23:53,000
It’s a it’s a flex,

625
00:23:53,200 –> 00:23:53,440
you know,

626
00:23:53,440 –> 00:23:54,120
and you’re getting,

627
00:23:54,120 –> 00:23:58,520
you’re getting the argument that you can’t use federal

628
00:23:58,520 –> 00:24:01,800
troops in domestic policing matters,

629
00:24:01,840 –> 00:24:04,760
which I would doubt that this is a domestic policing

630
00:24:04,760 –> 00:24:05,680
matter, the.

631
00:24:07,400 –> 00:24:08,360
Coast Guard,

632
00:24:08,520 –> 00:24:11,080
right, is used for drug interdiction.

633
00:24:11,160 –> 00:24:12,120
This is not.

634
00:24:12,160 –> 00:24:13,880
When you declare a national emergency,

635
00:24:14,120 –> 00:24:15,600
you can call in the National Guard.

636
00:24:15,720 –> 00:24:18,520
You can call in the 101st Airborne if you want to.

637
00:24:18,760 –> 00:24:24,680
So again, we’re just going to get goofy totalitarianism

638
00:24:25,560 –> 00:24:27,480
disguised in civil liberties.

639
00:24:27,480 –> 00:24:28,840
That’s what the left’s doing now,

640
00:24:29,080 –> 00:24:29,960
Like we’re going to,

641
00:24:29,960 –> 00:24:30,360
we’re going to,

642
00:24:30,520 –> 00:24:33,000
we’re going to talk about civil liberties in order

643
00:24:33,000 –> 00:24:34,800
to take them from you and listen to me.

644
00:24:34,800 –> 00:24:36,360
And this is what we’re doing so.

645
00:24:37,160 –> 00:24:38,360
I think, you know,

646
00:24:38,360 –> 00:24:38,840
Jason said,

647
00:24:38,840 –> 00:24:39,040
you know,

648
00:24:39,040 –> 00:24:39,880
that was a flex,

649
00:24:39,880 –> 00:24:43,320
but I think that’s what people are responding positively

650
00:24:43,320 –> 00:24:44,200
to because it’s like,

651
00:24:44,200 –> 00:24:45,640
OK, maybe it doesn’t work.

652
00:24:45,640 –> 00:24:46,440
Why didn’t we do this?

653
00:24:46,840 –> 00:24:47,560
Why just didn’t we?

654
00:24:47,640 –> 00:24:49,160
Why didn’t we do something?

655
00:24:49,240 –> 00:24:52,440
You know, whether it translates into the desired outcome

656
00:24:53,080 –> 00:24:55,440
I think they like the bravado that Trump shows just

657
00:24:55,440 –> 00:24:58,200
by doing something may not be the right thing.

658
00:24:58,280 –> 00:25:00,400
Well, and he talked about a revolution of common sense.

659
00:25:00,400 –> 00:25:01,720
And I think for most Americans,

660
00:25:01,720 –> 00:25:04,040
regardless of their partisan identity,

661
00:25:04,280 –> 00:25:06,120
they see this as common sense.

662
00:25:06,120 –> 00:25:06,680
Like, why?

663
00:25:07,000 –> 00:25:07,560
And I, you know,

664
00:25:07,560 –> 00:25:10,200
I had a lot of those conversations with people outside

665
00:25:10,200 –> 00:25:12,120
of the political world over the four years of the

666
00:25:12,120 –> 00:25:13,000
Biden administration.

667
00:25:13,240 –> 00:25:15,320
Why are they letting all these people come in here

668
00:25:15,320 –> 00:25:15,720
in the country?

669
00:25:15,720 –> 00:25:19,320
Like there was no comprehension as to what’s the motivation

670
00:25:19,320 –> 00:25:19,880
to do this.

671
00:25:19,880 –> 00:25:22,120
And they see the images at the border,

672
00:25:22,120 –> 00:25:22,840
particularly,

673
00:25:22,920 –> 00:25:23,120
you know,

674
00:25:23,120 –> 00:25:25,320
about a year and a half ago when we had even the Today

675
00:25:25,320 –> 00:25:28,160
show every morning having to show thousands of people

676
00:25:28,160 –> 00:25:30,360
amassed at the Texas border trying to get in here.

677
00:25:30,560 –> 00:25:31,400
And most people are like,

678
00:25:31,680 –> 00:25:32,840
what the fuck are we doing?

679
00:25:33,160 –> 00:25:35,720
Trump did more than 24 hours to deal with the border

680
00:25:35,720 –> 00:25:36,880
situation than Biden.

681
00:25:37,040 –> 00:25:38,760
Mine did it in four years.

682
00:25:38,840 –> 00:25:41,400
Watch the the pity porn start cranking up.

683
00:25:41,400 –> 00:25:42,040
It got lost.

684
00:25:42,360 –> 00:25:44,960
It got lost in the invasion,

685
00:25:44,960 –> 00:25:45,880
which it was.

686
00:25:45,880 –> 00:25:47,200
We allowed the invasion.

687
00:25:48,040 –> 00:25:50,200
At first it was these are asylum seekers and they’re

688
00:25:50,200 –> 00:25:51,240
fleeing war and famine.

689
00:25:51,960 –> 00:25:54,640
450,000 asylums.

690
00:25:54,640 –> 00:25:56,360
And then and then we get a good eyeball.

691
00:25:56,360 –> 00:25:56,680
And you know,

692
00:25:56,680 –> 00:25:59,480
there’s Bill Milujian and Todd Benzeman on the border.

693
00:25:59,960 –> 00:26:00,600
Why are you coming?

694
00:26:00,600 –> 00:26:02,120
Oh, to get a house,

695
00:26:02,200 –> 00:26:02,520
you know,

696
00:26:02,640 –> 00:26:04,920
I mean, or they’re Chinese or they’re Turkish.

697
00:26:05,040 –> 00:26:05,280
Thank you.

698
00:26:05,280 –> 00:26:09,320
Or Tajiki or Russian or Ukrainian.

699
00:26:09,400 –> 00:26:10,760
Like, get in line,

700
00:26:11,640 –> 00:26:13,960
So you’re now going to see.

701
00:26:15,040 –> 00:26:18,240
They fear for their life and we are signatories and

702
00:26:18,240 –> 00:26:19,400
the and the beacon of,

703
00:26:19,720 –> 00:26:19,960
you know,

704
00:26:19,960 –> 00:26:20,760
refugees.

705
00:26:20,760 –> 00:26:21,640
And it’s like they’re not,

706
00:26:22,200 –> 00:26:22,600
they’re not.

707
00:26:22,680 –> 00:26:23,920
They’re economic seekers,

708
00:26:23,920 –> 00:26:24,760
which is cool.

709
00:26:25,000 –> 00:26:26,360
I would do it myself.

710
00:26:26,520 –> 00:26:28,440
I’ve gone over the border a couple times,

711
00:26:28,760 –> 00:26:30,120
but it’s horseshit.

712
00:26:30,760 –> 00:26:34,240
So the another thing Trump did was he canceled the

713
00:26:34,240 –> 00:26:35,800
CBP One app,

714
00:26:35,800 –> 00:26:36,040
you know,

715
00:26:36,040 –> 00:26:37,920
the Customs and Border Patrol One app,

716
00:26:38,120 –> 00:26:40,800
make an appointment to to jump in and we’ll actually

717
00:26:40,800 –> 00:26:41,800
give you work papers,

718
00:26:42,680 –> 00:26:43,560
So I went on it.

719
00:26:44,240 –> 00:26:46,200
Yesterday it’s frozen.

720
00:26:47,560 –> 00:26:48,440
I put my name in,

721
00:26:48,440 –> 00:26:50,520
I put my dog’s picture in and we’re not getting in

722
00:26:50,520 –> 00:26:51,160
the country.

723
00:26:51,400 –> 00:26:53,000
So I’m not going anywhere.

724
00:26:53,440 –> 00:26:56,440
Remember we talked too about the lack of process that

725
00:26:56,440 –> 00:26:58,560
OK, it’s not necessarily a bad thing if people want

726
00:26:58,560 –> 00:26:59,160
to come here,

727
00:26:59,400 –> 00:27:00,680
but that there was no process,

728
00:27:00,680 –> 00:27:01,480
no follow through,

729
00:27:01,480 –> 00:27:02,080
no follow up.

730
00:27:02,080 –> 00:27:04,520
And so people were just coming and nobody knew where

731
00:27:04,520 –> 00:27:05,880
they went or what they were doing.

732
00:27:05,880 –> 00:27:06,760
No accountability,

733
00:27:06,760 –> 00:27:07,800
no, no follow up.

734
00:27:09,280 –> 00:27:13,320
To me was the core of of the issue for a long time.

735
00:27:13,320 –> 00:27:16,600
Just and the media is is running interference for Biden

736
00:27:16,600 –> 00:27:20,600
talking about how low the illegal immigration interactions

737
00:27:20,600 –> 00:27:21,400
are at the border now,

738
00:27:21,640 –> 00:27:23,920
which is complete and utter bullshit because what

739
00:27:23,920 –> 00:27:27,080
the Biden administration did is created a process

740
00:27:27,080 –> 00:27:31,560
by which the Mexican National Guard delivers those

741
00:27:31,560 –> 00:27:35,320
illegal immigrants to American officials in a handoff

742
00:27:35,640 –> 00:27:36,480
across our borders.

743
00:27:36,959 –> 00:27:40,239
So it’s no longer an illegal entry into it’s a Border

744
00:27:40,239 –> 00:27:40,799
Patrol app.

745
00:27:40,799 –> 00:27:45,199
It is a and now and they show Mexican issued IDs.

746
00:27:45,359 –> 00:27:49,039
I mean I literally walked about about a mile along

747
00:27:49,039 –> 00:27:51,119
the border which by the way I could hop over there

748
00:27:51,119 –> 00:27:54,839
was at one place one barbed wire across and I’m and

749
00:27:54,839 –> 00:27:59,359
I found an ID and it was a Panamanian citizen issued

750
00:27:59,399 –> 00:28:02,319
a Mexican ID and So what they do is in the hand off.

751
00:28:02,719 –> 00:28:03,879
They fill out their paperwork.

752
00:28:03,879 –> 00:28:05,479
They’re given this little summons that they have to

753
00:28:05,479 –> 00:28:08,839
appear, and then they throw the ID on the ground and

754
00:28:08,839 –> 00:28:11,079
disappear into the interior of the United States.

755
00:28:11,079 –> 00:28:12,719
Yes, I’ve collected a bunch of them,

756
00:28:12,799 –> 00:28:15,679
including Cuban dollars,

757
00:28:15,759 –> 00:28:16,159
you know,

758
00:28:16,479 –> 00:28:18,479
like I’m keeping that Chinese nationals.

759
00:28:19,199 –> 00:28:20,159
So you see it all.

760
00:28:21,999 –> 00:28:25,999
I didn’t know Panama was a hotbed of political torture

761
00:28:26,559 –> 00:28:27,759
or gang activity.

762
00:28:28,319 –> 00:28:28,879
What is going?

763
00:28:28,959 –> 00:28:30,479
I didn’t know Mexico was.

764
00:28:31,279 –> 00:28:32,639
We’re giving us some to Mexicans.

765
00:28:32,799 –> 00:28:38,319
So no, 90,090 thousand a month just on this app.

766
00:28:38,799 –> 00:28:42,639
And then look at what we the visas that we issue,

767
00:28:42,639 –> 00:28:43,599
travel visas,

768
00:28:44,559 –> 00:28:45,679
Student visas,

769
00:28:46,439 –> 00:28:46,919
work visas,

770
00:28:47,919 –> 00:28:54,319
holiday visas and about 2 million a year don’t don’t

771
00:28:55,279 –> 00:28:56,319
They measure that too.

772
00:28:58,239 –> 00:28:58,999
Consequently,

773
00:28:58,999 –> 00:29:01,759
if you look at the amount of visas that we’ve put

774
00:29:01,759 –> 00:29:03,039
out during the Biden administration,

775
00:29:03,199 –> 00:29:03,959
it’s up like 50%.

776
00:29:05,039 –> 00:29:07,439
Why are we giving holiday visas to Tajikistan,

777
00:29:08,479 –> 00:29:09,519
Tajikistanis?

778
00:29:09,759 –> 00:29:11,199
They don’t leave.

779
00:29:11,359 –> 00:29:12,319
We can measure it.

780
00:29:12,559 –> 00:29:13,439
It’s a joke.

781
00:29:13,679 –> 00:29:16,959
Now sanctuary city funds.

782
00:29:17,159 –> 00:29:20,759
It’s another executive order by Trump.

783
00:29:21,119 –> 00:29:24,439
If you do not cooperate with Immigration and Customs

784
00:29:24,439 –> 00:29:25,119
Enforcement,

785
00:29:25,639 –> 00:29:27,199
we’re not sending you federal money.

786
00:29:28,159 –> 00:29:29,519
Take that,

787
00:29:29,999 –> 00:29:31,919
Let’s put this to where it’s really at.

788
00:29:31,999 –> 00:29:35,759
So you got a guy walking around with a blowtorch in

789
00:29:35,839 –> 00:29:37,279
LA, right?

790
00:29:37,599 –> 00:29:38,399
And the neighbors go,

791
00:29:38,399 –> 00:29:39,719
what the fuck are you doing?

792
00:29:39,719 –> 00:29:41,039
And they said they don’t even beat his ass.

793
00:29:41,039 –> 00:29:42,319
They don’t even beat his ass.

794
00:29:42,719 –> 00:29:43,759
We’re good people.

795
00:29:44,319 –> 00:29:45,519
LA’s on fire.

796
00:29:45,999 –> 00:29:47,559
And we’re not going to beat the shit out of you,

797
00:29:47,559 –> 00:29:50,319
which says a lot about the good people of this country.

798
00:29:51,199 –> 00:29:54,399
And they’re asking him and he goes for and he’s an

799
00:29:55,799 –> 00:29:57,599
And I believe he’s been deported before.

800
00:29:57,599 –> 00:29:59,759
And they didn’t turn him over to ICE.

801
00:30:00,759 –> 00:30:02,399
They let him go.

802
00:30:02,879 –> 00:30:03,599
Now, Karen’s like,

803
00:30:03,679 –> 00:30:04,479
I didn’t hear that.

804
00:30:04,959 –> 00:30:05,679
You heard that.

805
00:30:05,679 –> 00:30:06,199
No, I did not.

806
00:30:06,799 –> 00:30:07,359
You heard that.

807
00:30:08,439 –> 00:30:09,159
Yeah, you heard that.

808
00:30:10,479 –> 00:30:11,039
Oh, well, there you go.

809
00:30:11,519 –> 00:30:11,999
You heard that.

810
00:30:11,999 –> 00:30:12,479
Ken heard it.

811
00:30:12,479 –> 00:30:12,959
Of course.

812
00:30:13,039 –> 00:30:13,879
Oh, my God.

813
00:30:15,999 –> 00:30:16,559
Breaking news.

814
00:30:16,559 –> 00:30:17,439
Ken Beck heard that.

815
00:30:20,879 –> 00:30:24,199
OK, Speaking of LA.

816
00:30:25,839 –> 00:30:28,279
I love LALA gave me my home,

817
00:30:28,279 –> 00:30:29,199
my first home.

818
00:30:29,519 –> 00:30:31,199
It gave me my only child.

819
00:30:31,679 –> 00:30:33,719
LA quite arguably,

820
00:30:33,719 –> 00:30:35,519
and in my my it is my belief.

821
00:30:35,519 –> 00:30:40,399
It is perhaps the greatest city of the last century

822
00:30:40,399 –> 00:30:41,279
that we built.

823
00:30:41,759 –> 00:30:44,239
I believe that San Francisco’s older.

824
00:30:44,479 –> 00:30:45,679
New York is older.

825
00:30:46,079 –> 00:30:47,039
What a beautiful place.

826
00:30:47,079 –> 00:30:48,119
I love LA.

827
00:30:49,359 –> 00:30:51,119
I covered the water system.

828
00:30:51,119 –> 00:30:52,959
I kayaked the LA River.

829
00:30:53,439 –> 00:30:54,919
I covered the fire department.

830
00:30:54,919 –> 00:30:56,799
And now everybody knows what I like to do in life.

831
00:30:58,959 –> 00:31:01,919
We’re now getting the political blowback.

832
00:31:01,919 –> 00:31:02,959
OK, we got our feet.

833
00:31:03,359 –> 00:31:04,559
This was unavoidable.

834
00:31:05,199 –> 00:31:06,879
It was a natural disaster.

835
00:31:07,279 –> 00:31:09,679
The Santa Ana winds and the dry season.

836
00:31:09,759 –> 00:31:11,519
Well, for the last two years,

837
00:31:11,919 –> 00:31:14,879
it’s been one of the wettest epics in Los Angeles’s

838
00:31:17,039 –> 00:31:19,719
Santa Ana winds have been clocked higher than 90 miles

839
00:31:19,999 –> 00:31:21,959
It was 100 miles an hour when I was there.

840
00:31:22,079 –> 00:31:24,879
I know I I’ve been in these fires.

841
00:31:26,719 –> 00:31:27,759
So here’s what happened.

842
00:31:28,479 –> 00:31:29,599
One, environmentally,

843
00:31:29,599 –> 00:31:30,759
you don’t want a clear brush.

844
00:31:30,759 –> 00:31:33,599
And if anybody looks at the pictures of Southern California

845
00:31:33,759 –> 00:31:34,399
in the mountains,

846
00:31:34,719 –> 00:31:36,399
they’ve got the bike path at the top,

847
00:31:36,879 –> 00:31:38,079
That’s not a bike path.

848
00:31:38,399 –> 00:31:39,839
That’s a fire break.

849
00:31:40,079 –> 00:31:41,759
That’s very wide.

850
00:31:41,759 –> 00:31:44,159
So what happens when a fire burns uphill,

851
00:31:44,239 –> 00:31:45,679
it gets to the top of the hill.

852
00:31:45,999 –> 00:31:48,999
And there’s nothing to burn because there’s a big dirt

853
00:31:49,359 –> 00:31:49,759
right there.

854
00:31:50,239 –> 00:31:52,439
Sparks and ashes will go over the top,

855
00:31:52,439 –> 00:31:54,759
but that’s where the firefighters are putting out

856
00:31:54,759 –> 00:31:55,519
those hot spots.

857
00:31:55,999 –> 00:31:56,879
That was bad.

858
00:31:56,959 –> 00:31:58,559
Clearing the brush was banned.

859
00:31:59,199 –> 00:32:03,799
The water in Los Angeles goes along Sunset Blvd.

860
00:32:04,119 –> 00:32:05,839
And it gets to the Pacific Palisades.

861
00:32:06,239 –> 00:32:08,079
And then it’s got to be pumped uphill,

862
00:32:09,439 –> 00:32:10,239
Like an elevator.

863
00:32:12,119 –> 00:32:14,559
And then it goes into three tanks,

864
00:32:14,559 –> 00:32:16,959
like a water tank anywhere in America.

865
00:32:19,039 –> 00:32:19,959
The fire starts,

866
00:32:20,079 –> 00:32:21,279
you plug into it,

867
00:32:22,319 –> 00:32:23,759
you start putting out the fire.

868
00:32:24,239 –> 00:32:27,479
If you cannot replenish the water in the tanks as quickly

869
00:32:27,479 –> 00:32:28,359
as you take it out,

870
00:32:28,359 –> 00:32:29,679
it starts to go dry,

871
00:32:30,559 –> 00:32:32,319
It’s all potable drinking water.

872
00:32:33,079 –> 00:32:35,319
Remember everybody heard about the reservoir up there?

873
00:32:35,319 –> 00:32:35,759
The reservoir.

874
00:32:35,759 –> 00:32:36,639
I’m looking at a map.

875
00:32:36,639 –> 00:32:37,839
I finally got the schematic.

876
00:32:38,879 –> 00:32:42,239
Can’t beat 1500 yards from the three tanks.

877
00:32:42,559 –> 00:32:44,719
The three tanks hold a total of 3 million.

878
00:32:44,959 –> 00:32:47,399
The reservoir holds 120 million.

879
00:32:47,919 –> 00:32:50,649
So what’s what’s the math there like 17 *

880
00:32:52,079 –> 00:32:53,759
The reservoir holds 7,

881
00:32:55,079 –> 00:32:57,039
Money guy.

882
00:32:57,119 –> 00:32:57,999
Money guy over there.

883
00:32:58,359 –> 00:33:01,439
34 times the water that’s in the tanks.

884
00:33:01,439 –> 00:33:02,879
Remember to refill the tanks.

885
00:33:04,319 –> 00:33:06,399
You got to pump it uphill from Sunset Blvd.

886
00:33:06,719 –> 00:33:08,159
Up to the top of the Palisades.

887
00:33:08,879 –> 00:33:11,839
But you got a great big reservoir and it’s empty.

888
00:33:12,079 –> 00:33:13,279
If it wasn’t empty,

889
00:33:13,999 –> 00:33:14,599
you wouldn’t.

890
00:33:14,719 –> 00:33:16,159
This wouldn’t have got out of control.

891
00:33:16,399 –> 00:33:17,279
Why was it empty?

892
00:33:18,719 –> 00:33:20,159
Because in around the 80s.

893
00:33:20,559 –> 00:33:21,439
Oh yeah, you know what?

894
00:33:21,439 –> 00:33:22,319
It’s drinking water.

895
00:33:22,719 –> 00:33:24,279
It’s got bird poop and crud in it.

896
00:33:24,279 –> 00:33:25,039
You know what we should do?

897
00:33:25,119 –> 00:33:26,919
We should put a pool cover on top of it.

898
00:33:27,279 –> 00:33:27,999
Put a pool cover.

899
00:33:28,079 –> 00:33:29,039
Keep the bird poop out.

900
00:33:29,439 –> 00:33:30,079
Oh my gosh,

901
00:33:30,079 –> 00:33:32,879
the pool cover ripped like two years ago.

902
00:33:33,279 –> 00:33:34,399
The pool cover ripped.

903
00:33:35,279 –> 00:33:36,399
It’s still not fixed.

904
00:33:36,399 –> 00:33:37,679
It’s still not stitched.

905
00:33:37,839 –> 00:33:39,599
They still don’t put some tire patch on it.

906
00:33:39,999 –> 00:33:42,079
OK, January 1st,

907
00:33:42,079 –> 00:33:43,079
National Weather Service.

908
00:33:43,119 –> 00:33:44,359
Oh, a big one’s coming.

909
00:33:44,799 –> 00:33:45,599
January 2nd.

910
00:33:45,839 –> 00:33:46,839
Oh, press conference.

911
00:33:46,839 –> 00:33:47,719
A big one’s coming.

912
00:33:47,999 –> 00:33:48,879
January 3rd,

913
00:33:48,879 –> 00:33:50,239
the mayor goes off to Ghana.

914
00:33:50,879 –> 00:33:52,479
Nobody figures out.

915
00:33:52,479 –> 00:33:55,599
Hey, man, turn the valve.

916
00:33:56,879 –> 00:33:58,399
Fill up the fill up the reservoir.

917
00:33:58,399 –> 00:33:59,919
Fill it up just in case.

918
00:34:00,399 –> 00:34:02,559
#2, they did cut the budget.

919
00:34:02,879 –> 00:34:04,639
They cut the budget by millions of dollars.

920
00:34:04,799 –> 00:34:05,679
What did they cut out?

921
00:34:05,679 –> 00:34:06,959
They didn’t cut out firefighters,

922
00:34:07,079 –> 00:34:08,639
which is what the mayor’s saying.

923
00:34:08,879 –> 00:34:10,159
It wasn’t that.

924
00:34:10,319 –> 00:34:11,439
It was a natural disaster.

925
00:34:12,639 –> 00:34:15,039
You cut out the mechanics that fix the fire trucks.

926
00:34:15,999 –> 00:34:16,719
The fire trucks,

927
00:34:16,799 –> 00:34:18,639
over 100 of them are out of Commission.

928
00:34:18,879 –> 00:34:20,959
What you would do if you were competent,

929
00:34:21,359 –> 00:34:23,919
drive the fire truck up to the neighborhood,

930
00:34:24,159 –> 00:34:25,439
drive another one,

931
00:34:25,759 –> 00:34:27,999
Put them up there and just sit there and wait.

932
00:34:29,839 –> 00:34:31,559
No, they’re all broken down.

933
00:34:31,559 –> 00:34:32,999
100 of them are broken down.

934
00:34:33,359 –> 00:34:35,919
Other ones are taken off the road because of the new

935
00:34:35,919 –> 00:34:38,759
emission standards for fire trucks in California.

936
00:34:38,959 –> 00:34:40,159
So we can’t use them.

937
00:34:40,959 –> 00:34:41,639
I heard about that.

938
00:34:41,999 –> 00:34:43,679
This is a disaster.

939
00:34:43,719 –> 00:34:45,999
Well, but you’re even talking about the responses.

940
00:34:45,999 –> 00:34:48,639
I mean, how about the prevention of this stuff?

941
00:34:48,639 –> 00:34:49,599
I mean, like you,

942
00:34:49,639 –> 00:34:50,799
I’m a former Angeleno.

943
00:34:50,879 –> 00:34:55,039
I lived in in LA during the 2000 San Gabriel fires.

944
00:34:55,519 –> 00:34:57,439
And back then the whole debate was,

945
00:34:57,439 –> 00:34:59,039
why are we not doing controlled burn?

946
00:34:59,039 –> 00:35:01,599
Why are we letting all this dead brush accumulate,

947
00:35:01,599 –> 00:35:02,799
which is a tinderbox?

948
00:35:03,039 –> 00:35:05,279
You could literally flick your cigarette.

949
00:35:05,759 –> 00:35:07,919
You know, on one of the hiking trails in the Hollywood

950
00:35:07,919 –> 00:35:10,159
Hills and light that whole city on fire.

951
00:35:10,399 –> 00:35:14,359
That was 25 years ago that Republicans and Democrats

952
00:35:14,359 –> 00:35:16,759
were arguing over the necessity of doing controlled

953
00:35:17,359 –> 00:35:20,079
Democrats have had complete control.

954
00:35:20,079 –> 00:35:22,119
They got super majorities in the state assembly,

955
00:35:22,119 –> 00:35:22,879
the state Senate.

956
00:35:23,199 –> 00:35:25,919
They’ve had almost continuous rule since 98,

957
00:35:25,919 –> 00:35:27,839
except for Arnold Schwarzenegger,

958
00:35:27,839 –> 00:35:30,879
who was barely a Republican but had Democrat majorities

959
00:35:31,759 –> 00:35:33,959
No one’s ever done anything in LA,

960
00:35:34,079 –> 00:35:35,279
this huge hot spot.

961
00:35:36,759 –> 00:35:41,039
Are you running any videos?

962
00:35:41,039 –> 00:35:42,239
Oh, by the way,

963
00:35:42,239 –> 00:35:46,159
you can go to YouTube and watch this No BS News Hour.

964
00:35:46,399 –> 00:35:49,359
You can go on X again and see it all if you’re listening.

965
00:35:49,679 –> 00:35:50,959
And if you’re listening,

966
00:35:51,359 –> 00:35:53,639
you definitely want to see the work of Ken back there

967
00:35:53,639 –> 00:35:56,879
with the I think you’re gonna want to see me tumble

968
00:35:57,999 –> 00:35:59,679
In an industrial drying machine.

969
00:35:59,679 –> 00:36:01,199
I think you’re gonna want to see that.

970
00:36:01,279 –> 00:36:02,639
I’m gonna make that my screensaver.

971
00:36:02,639 –> 00:36:03,799
I’m getting old.

972
00:36:03,959 –> 00:36:04,799
This is, you know,

973
00:36:04,799 –> 00:36:06,239
it’s hard to keep up with the kids.

974
00:36:06,239 –> 00:36:07,039
He’s still limber.

975
00:36:07,119 –> 00:36:09,599
You know, this goes back to when he was cheerleading

976
00:36:09,599 –> 00:36:11,959
at U of M We made a bet downstairs.

977
00:36:11,959 –> 00:36:13,199
Charlie has till spring.

978
00:36:13,359 –> 00:36:14,119
You’re going to do.

979
00:36:14,159 –> 00:36:15,039
What did you agree to do?

980
00:36:15,599 –> 00:36:16,079
Yes, you did.

981
00:36:16,119 –> 00:36:17,399
We said for $500.

982
00:36:17,599 –> 00:36:18,079
What was it,

983
00:36:18,839 –> 00:36:20,599
I think it was a back spring.

984
00:36:20,599 –> 00:36:23,719
It was a back spring because you said your knee and

985
00:36:23,719 –> 00:36:25,279
I said start training spring.

986
00:36:25,279 –> 00:36:25,839
We’ve all got $500.

987
00:36:25,879 –> 00:36:28,239
OK, can I do it off the side of a pool?

988
00:36:29,319 –> 00:36:29,599
Yeah, I’ll.

989
00:36:30,399 –> 00:36:31,599
I’ll allow that.

990
00:36:32,559 –> 00:36:34,319
It’s not my money.

991
00:36:34,719 –> 00:36:35,999
But it’s not just you.

992
00:36:35,999 –> 00:36:36,839
It’s not my money.

993
00:36:36,839 –> 00:36:37,479
I’ll allow it.

994
00:36:37,679 –> 00:36:38,559
All right.

995
00:36:38,719 –> 00:36:39,479
Mark that down.

996
00:36:39,599 –> 00:36:40,439
That’s gonna happen.

997
00:36:42,839 –> 00:36:44,039
This was preventable.

998
00:36:44,039 –> 00:36:44,719
There’s gonna be fire.

999
00:36:44,719 –> 00:36:45,359
There’s always fire.

1000
00:36:45,359 –> 00:36:47,359
The San Gabriel fire took out about what,

1001
00:36:47,359 –> 00:36:48,639
7-8 hundred structures,

1002
00:36:49,079 –> 00:36:51,039
That’s getting in the Angelenas National Forest,

1003
00:36:51,639 –> 00:36:56,799
OK, we’re talking 1215 thousand homes,

1004
00:36:57,359 –> 00:36:59,519
billions of dollars worth of real estate.

1005
00:36:59,559 –> 00:37:01,119
And are we gonna pay for this?

1006
00:37:01,919 –> 00:37:02,479
I hate it.

1007
00:37:02,479 –> 00:37:03,599
It’s a little early.

1008
00:37:03,599 –> 00:37:04,239
And you know,

1009
00:37:04,239 –> 00:37:05,519
I’m not parsimonious.

1010
00:37:05,519 –> 00:37:06,479
I’m not stingy.

1011
00:37:06,639 –> 00:37:08,079
I love my fellow Americans.

1012
00:37:08,879 –> 00:37:09,999
But we’re going to pay for this.

1013
00:37:09,999 –> 00:37:11,359
We need some changes.

1014
00:37:11,519 –> 00:37:14,319
We can’t go along with the governmental.

1015
00:37:14,479 –> 00:37:15,559
And it’s again,

1016
00:37:15,559 –> 00:37:16,639
I’m not a Republican.

1017
00:37:16,799 –> 00:37:18,159
I’ve always been an independent.

1018
00:37:19,839 –> 00:37:22,879
But this bureaucracy has taken over and it’s it’s a

1019
00:37:22,879 –> 00:37:23,919
lie and it’s failing us.

1020
00:37:23,919 –> 00:37:27,359
I’ll give you a for this is the Detroit and Grosse

1021
00:37:27,359 –> 00:37:30,319
Pointe Park flooding of 2021.

1022
00:37:30,479 –> 00:37:32,879
It’s the exact same thing.

1023
00:37:32,879 –> 00:37:33,759
If you listen to this,

1024
00:37:33,759 –> 00:37:35,039
folks, listen to this.

1025
00:37:36,319 –> 00:37:37,279
It rained a lot.

1026
00:37:37,679 –> 00:37:41,079
And June 25th and in early hours of June 26th,

1027
00:37:41,599 –> 00:37:42,959
Karen’s basement flooded.

1028
00:37:43,199 –> 00:37:44,879
Red’s basement flooded,

1029
00:37:46,239 –> 00:37:52,799
30,000 homes flooded before people can even figure

1030
00:37:52,799 –> 00:37:54,639
out to put a bag together.

1031
00:37:54,719 –> 00:37:56,119
They’re out there doing the press conference.

1032
00:37:56,159 –> 00:37:58,559
This was a once in an epochal storm,

1033
00:37:58,559 –> 00:38:00,319
once in 1000 years storm.

1034
00:38:00,479 –> 00:38:01,359
How would you know?

1035
00:38:01,759 –> 00:38:03,999
How would you know it’s a once in 1000 years?

1036
00:38:04,159 –> 00:38:04,879
Oh, it rained.

1037
00:38:05,039 –> 00:38:06,639
Well, I live in Oakland County.

1038
00:38:06,639 –> 00:38:07,679
My shit didn’t flood.

1039
00:38:08,479 –> 00:38:09,879
Oh, Dearborn got a lot of rain.

1040
00:38:09,879 –> 00:38:10,879
They didn’t flood.

1041
00:38:11,839 –> 00:38:13,359
Saint Clair Shores didn’t flood.

1042
00:38:13,519 –> 00:38:18,079
Nobody flooded except East Side Detroit and Grosse

1043
00:38:18,079 –> 00:38:18,639
Pointe Park.

1044
00:38:18,679 –> 00:38:19,559
And why is that?

1045
00:38:19,559 –> 00:38:22,439
What’s over in that area?

1046
00:38:22,439 –> 00:38:23,359
You want to know what’s over there?

1047
00:38:23,679 –> 00:38:24,879
Two pumping station,

1048
00:38:24,879 –> 00:38:27,559
one called Conner Creek and one called Freud.

1049
00:38:27,559 –> 00:38:29,999
What was going on that night?

1050
00:38:31,999 –> 00:38:33,079
They were offline.

1051
00:38:33,079 –> 00:38:35,239
I don’t know if it was Freud or Connor Creek,

1052
00:38:35,239 –> 00:38:37,919
but one of them had a power outage for three fucking

1053
00:38:37,919 –> 00:38:39,159
days leading up to it.

1054
00:38:39,359 –> 00:38:40,799
It’s like the reservoir.

1055
00:38:41,359 –> 00:38:42,319
In the other one,

1056
00:38:42,559 –> 00:38:45,359
the pumps went out there like there’s about 16 between

1057
00:38:45,919 –> 00:38:47,959
At one .3 were working.

1058
00:38:48,399 –> 00:38:49,919
You think that anything to do with flooding?

1059
00:38:50,479 –> 00:38:51,599
Do you do you think?

1060
00:38:51,759 –> 00:38:54,359
So now class action lawsuit.

1061
00:38:54,879 –> 00:38:55,799
Grosse Point Park,

1062
00:38:56,479 –> 00:38:58,799
You owe me water utility,

1063
00:38:58,799 –> 00:39:00,159
Detroit water and sewer,

1064
00:39:00,319 –> 00:39:00,759
sewerage,

1065
00:39:00,759 –> 00:39:02,879
GLIWA, Great Lakes Water Authority.

1066
00:39:03,039 –> 00:39:03,759
You owe us.

1067
00:39:04,479 –> 00:39:06,959
So there’s a lawsuit and it goes to a judge.

1068
00:39:06,959 –> 00:39:09,239
A little hack down here at the Third Circuit.

1069
00:39:09,239 –> 00:39:09,999
You know how it goes.

1070
00:39:10,079 –> 00:39:10,639
You know how it goes,

1071
00:39:11,039 –> 00:39:11,719
You get appointed,

1072
00:39:11,719 –> 00:39:13,239
then you get elected and then you know,

1073
00:39:13,239 –> 00:39:14,959
hey, whisper,

1074
00:39:15,039 –> 00:39:18,879
whisper, whisper.

1075
00:39:18,879 –> 00:39:23,359
Detroit Water and Sewage GLIWA files a motion to dismiss.

1076
00:39:23,559 –> 00:39:24,879
There’s been no discovery,

1077
00:39:24,879 –> 00:39:26,239
no interviews,

1078
00:39:26,399 –> 00:39:27,839
no documents being passed,

1079
00:39:27,999 –> 00:39:28,639
no looking in.

1080
00:39:28,959 –> 00:39:30,239
The judge takes 10 months,

1081
00:39:30,799 –> 00:39:31,839
comes back and says,

1082
00:39:31,999 –> 00:39:32,399
you know,

1083
00:39:32,639 –> 00:39:35,919
reviewing the utilities presentation,

1084
00:39:36,079 –> 00:39:38,559
it was the storm of a century and there’s governmental

1085
00:39:38,559 –> 00:39:39,879
immunity dismissed.

1086
00:39:40,319 –> 00:39:41,439
It’s in the Court of Appeals.

1087
00:39:42,079 –> 00:39:43,839
OK, so here’s what I did,

1088
00:39:46,159 –> 00:39:49,879
They used in the motion to dismiss their own water

1089
00:39:49,879 –> 00:39:50,479
readings.

1090
00:39:52,719 –> 00:39:55,839
Storm of a century and there’s a big map and it’s red.

1091
00:39:55,999 –> 00:39:56,879
It’s red from St.

1092
00:39:56,879 –> 00:39:59,079
Clair Shores past Metro Airport.

1093
00:39:59,119 –> 00:40:01,519
It’s red and red meant 8 inches or more.

1094
00:40:01,999 –> 00:40:04,079
OK, OK, yeah,

1095
00:40:04,719 –> 00:40:05,519
Storm of a century.

1096
00:40:07,119 –> 00:40:12,079
Except Metro Airport recorded about 2 1/2 inches over

1097
00:40:12,079 –> 00:40:12,719
this period.

1098
00:40:13,199 –> 00:40:14,279
City Airport,

1099
00:40:14,279 –> 00:40:16,599
which is 4 miles from the pumping station that didn’t

1100
00:40:16,599 –> 00:40:19,199
work, recorded 4 1/2 inches.

1101
00:40:19,919 –> 00:40:21,439
Grosse Pointe Farms,

1102
00:40:22,879 –> 00:40:26,399
Their data’s not really good because they only have

1103
00:40:26,399 –> 00:40:29,119
a total for the the 26th,

1104
00:40:29,359 –> 00:40:33,199
nothing for the 25th and every all it’s bracketed

1105
00:40:33,519 –> 00:40:34,399
Like the 21st,

1106
00:40:34,399 –> 00:40:34,959
the 22nd,

1107
00:40:34,959 –> 00:40:39,999
23rd, it says M for the data for the precipitation

1108
00:40:40,279 –> 00:40:41,279
M means missing,

1109
00:40:41,679 –> 00:40:44,239
meaning most times nobody’s in Grosse Pointe farm

1110
00:40:44,239 –> 00:40:45,279
looking at the beaker.

1111
00:40:45,759 –> 00:40:49,079
So all of a sudden 6.5 inches shows up in Grosse Pointe

1112
00:40:50,399 –> 00:40:51,679
Fine, still not 8.

1113
00:40:52,639 –> 00:40:53,679
OK, in Dearborn,

1114
00:40:53,839 –> 00:40:54,399
same thing.

1115
00:40:54,399 –> 00:40:54,999
Missing, missing,

1116
00:40:55,439 –> 00:40:56,799
Oh, 6 1/2.

1117
00:40:57,359 –> 00:40:58,839
OK, I’ll take you at your word.

1118
00:40:58,839 –> 00:40:59,839
National Weather Service.

1119
00:41:00,239 –> 00:41:02,279
It’s still not 8 and Dearborn didn’t flood out.

1120
00:41:03,519 –> 00:41:06,879
So Duggan Whitmer,

1121
00:41:06,879 –> 00:41:08,719
the administration of bureaucracy.

1122
00:41:08,719 –> 00:41:09,559
Hey, it was a storm.

1123
00:41:09,599 –> 00:41:10,639
It was a natural disaster.

1124
00:41:10,639 –> 00:41:12,879
It wasn’t because we don’t know what the fuck we’re

1125
00:41:16,399 –> 00:41:17,359
That’s not what happened.

1126
00:41:17,999 –> 00:41:19,999
So they send FEMA.

1127
00:41:21,439 –> 00:41:24,079
Send an emergency money about $100 million,

1128
00:41:24,079 –> 00:41:24,359
$100 million,

1129
00:41:24,839 –> 00:41:25,599
right, 100 million.

1130
00:41:25,839 –> 00:41:26,439
$1,000,000 in damage,

1131
00:41:26,599 –> 00:41:27,159
$100 million.

1132
00:41:28,679 –> 00:41:29,239
Google it.

1133
00:41:30,759 –> 00:41:33,879
Just last month we had $50 million leftover.

1134
00:41:36,599 –> 00:41:37,879
If you’re listening and not watching,

1135
00:41:37,879 –> 00:41:38,359
I’m going,

1136
00:41:40,759 –> 00:41:44,119
OK, we better spend that before Trump gets in.

1137
00:41:44,119 –> 00:41:45,319
So City Council meets.

1138
00:41:45,399 –> 00:41:46,599
We better spend it.

1139
00:41:47,079 –> 00:41:48,359
So what are we spending it on?

1140
00:41:48,999 –> 00:41:53,559
OK, 10 million for collapsed sewage pipes,

1141
00:41:53,799 –> 00:41:54,319
10 million.

1142
00:41:55,639 –> 00:41:56,919
The other millions,

1143
00:41:56,999 –> 00:41:59,799
40, are going to low-income housing,

1144
00:42:00,999 –> 00:42:04,079
rebuilding homeless shelters affected by the wow.

1145
00:42:07,799 –> 00:42:09,639
It wasn’t a natural disaster.

1146
00:42:10,039 –> 00:42:11,719
This case is in the Court of Appeals.

1147
00:42:11,719 –> 00:42:12,759
We demand,

1148
00:42:13,399 –> 00:42:14,999
we demand a reckoning here.

1149
00:42:15,239 –> 00:42:16,679
LA demands A reckoning,

1150
00:42:16,759 –> 00:42:19,119
and we’re no longer going to just throw it out to

1151
00:42:19,119 –> 00:42:20,359
buzzwords of the day.

1152
00:42:21,239 –> 00:42:22,039
It’s negligence,

1153
00:42:23,079 –> 00:42:23,879
It’s negligence.

1154
00:42:23,879 –> 00:42:24,679
It was you.

1155
00:42:25,039 –> 00:42:25,559
I’m you were.

1156
00:42:26,119 –> 00:42:27,079
It was my sister’s house.

1157
00:42:27,559 –> 00:42:28,559
My house didn’t flood.

1158
00:42:28,559 –> 00:42:29,959
It was my sister’s basement that flooded.

1159
00:42:30,039 –> 00:42:31,039
Your sister’s basement.

1160
00:42:31,039 –> 00:42:32,999
But then your stuff kept going out too.

1161
00:42:32,999 –> 00:42:34,479
Well, never mind.

1162
00:42:34,479 –> 00:42:34,839
We’ll move on.

1163
00:42:35,079 –> 00:42:35,679
You see you,

1164
00:42:35,679 –> 00:42:36,519
but you were distraught.

1165
00:42:37,279 –> 00:42:37,879
Yeah, I mean,

1166
00:42:37,879 –> 00:42:38,439
but you know,

1167
00:42:38,439 –> 00:42:40,399
it’s also the anxiety,

1168
00:42:40,399 –> 00:42:40,679
you know,

1169
00:42:40,679 –> 00:42:41,559
because you don’t know.

1170
00:42:41,559 –> 00:42:43,599
And so you’re constantly watching and you’re constantly

1171
00:42:43,599 –> 00:42:44,119
wondering,

1172
00:42:44,119 –> 00:42:44,359
you know,

1173
00:42:44,359 –> 00:42:45,919
every time it rains and you were running down.

1174
00:42:45,919 –> 00:42:46,599
But remember,

1175
00:42:46,599 –> 00:42:49,839
they said that it would never happen again and a few

1176
00:42:49,839 –> 00:42:51,559
days or a couple weeks later.

1177
00:42:52,119 –> 00:42:52,919
It flooded again.

1178
00:42:53,239 –> 00:42:54,439
Do you remember that?

1179
00:42:55,399 –> 00:42:57,879
And so there there weren’t any changes made.

1180
00:42:57,879 –> 00:42:59,799
There were no precautions taken.

1181
00:42:59,799 –> 00:43:03,399
And people that were impacted talked about even though

1182
00:43:03,399 –> 00:43:04,279
FEMA came,

1183
00:43:04,479 –> 00:43:06,599
what they kept doing was referring everybody over

1184
00:43:06,599 –> 00:43:07,959
to the SBA for a loan.

1185
00:43:08,199 –> 00:43:10,119
So the people that were negatively impacted didn’t

1186
00:43:10,119 –> 00:43:11,479
get anything out of that either.

1187
00:43:11,759 –> 00:43:12,359
I mean, they weren’t.

1188
00:43:12,359 –> 00:43:13,839
People lost a lot of stuff.

1189
00:43:13,839 –> 00:43:15,159
See, this stuff underscores.

1190
00:43:15,279 –> 00:43:16,039
And listen,

1191
00:43:16,319 –> 00:43:17,079
I’m a partisan,

1192
00:43:17,159 –> 00:43:19,399
but I don’t want to sound partisan when I say this.

1193
00:43:19,399 –> 00:43:21,559
I try to call balls and strikes even on my own team,

1194
00:43:22,119 –> 00:43:23,239
Take for instance,

1195
00:43:23,239 –> 00:43:24,919
I mean, you look at California,

1196
00:43:24,919 –> 00:43:28,239
how much money is being diverted from taxpayers to

1197
00:43:28,239 –> 00:43:32,599
utopian ideas that are virtue signaling for progressive

1198
00:43:32,839 –> 00:43:33,719
constituencies?

1199
00:43:34,199 –> 00:43:34,639
For people,

1200
00:43:34,759 –> 00:43:38,399
for what you’re saying is for rich white people to

1201
00:43:38,439 –> 00:43:41,359
feel virtuous and they live up in the hills away from

1202
00:43:41,359 –> 00:43:43,879
everybody and it doesn’t affect them until it did

1203
00:43:44,039 –> 00:43:45,639
the services that you’re paying.

1204
00:43:45,879 –> 00:43:47,759
The highest tax bracket in California,

1205
00:43:47,799 –> 00:43:51,879
I think now state income tax is 14.4%.

1206
00:43:52,679 –> 00:43:56,679
Let me just pause that for a second.

1207
00:43:57,959 –> 00:43:58,999
What is the capital?

1208
00:43:59,199 –> 00:44:01,559
What is the corporate tax rate?

1209
00:44:02,639 –> 00:44:04,119
Is it 15 or 21?

1210
00:44:05,679 –> 00:44:06,759
What’s capital gains?

1211
00:44:07,399 –> 00:44:08,759
Max is 20.

1212
00:44:08,879 –> 00:44:11,039
And then if you’re over 450,000,

1213
00:44:11,079 –> 00:44:13,519
it’ll be a bond care surtax of 38.

1214
00:44:15,479 –> 00:44:19,159
OK, so the low is 21 for both for corporate and for

1215
00:44:19,159 –> 00:44:19,719
capital gains.

1216
00:44:19,959 –> 00:44:22,519
So a citizen in California,

1217
00:44:22,839 –> 00:44:24,199
just to pay California,

1218
00:44:24,199 –> 00:44:25,239
not the federal,

1219
00:44:25,399 –> 00:44:26,599
not the sales tax,

1220
00:44:26,599 –> 00:44:27,799
not the property tax.

1221
00:44:27,879 –> 00:44:31,479
Your income tax is almost equivalent to what?

1222
00:44:32,119 –> 00:44:34,039
Well, GM doesn’t pay the federal government.

1223
00:44:34,039 –> 00:44:35,079
Neither does anybody else.

1224
00:44:35,239 –> 00:44:38,679
But you got to pay to watch your shit burn.

1225
00:44:38,759 –> 00:44:39,599
But listen to this.

1226
00:44:40,759 –> 00:44:44,519
The the left in California pushed this train to fucking

1227
00:44:44,519 –> 00:44:47,319
nowhere from Los Angeles up to the Central and they

1228
00:44:47,319 –> 00:44:49,599
built it cause it goes nowhere because it well,

1229
00:44:50,439 –> 00:44:55,879
it’s been now 14 years and 10s of billions of dollars

1230
00:44:56,119 –> 00:44:57,959
and they haven’t laid any track yet.

1231
00:44:58,519 –> 00:45:01,879
Do you know we built the Transcontinental Railroad?

1232
00:45:02,319 –> 00:45:07,159
With Chinese and Irish immigrants 146 years ago with

1233
00:45:07,159 –> 00:45:10,759
no technology blowing up tunnels through mountains,

1234
00:45:10,999 –> 00:45:15,599
it took us six years to build the Transcontinental

1235
00:45:15,599 –> 00:45:18,039
Railroad 150 fucking years ago.

1236
00:45:18,399 –> 00:45:21,159
And with all the technology and all the resources come

1237
00:45:21,159 –> 00:45:23,959
to bear, they can’t lay one fucking stretch of track

1238
00:45:24,279 –> 00:45:27,759
between Los Angeles and Bakersfield in 14 years.

1239
00:45:27,759 –> 00:45:30,759
And we’re going on year 8 for this Dan Gilbert Hudson’s

1240
00:45:30,759 –> 00:45:31,399
tower over here.

1241
00:45:32,199 –> 00:45:35,159
Do you know how long it took to build the Empire State

1242
00:45:35,159 –> 00:45:35,559
Building?

1243
00:45:36,439 –> 00:45:39,959
One year in the Depression.

1244
00:45:43,559 –> 00:45:45,279
And you wonder why we feel defeated,

1245
00:45:45,759 –> 00:45:46,359
Well, don’t see.

1246
00:45:46,839 –> 00:45:48,759
I’m trying to get you up,

1247
00:45:50,719 –> 00:45:57,479
We don’t got to take this because we know we do fantasy

1248
00:45:57,479 –> 00:45:57,759
football.

1249
00:45:57,759 –> 00:46:00,919
We need, we know Jared Goff stats better than we know

1250
00:46:00,919 –> 00:46:02,399
what’s going on with the government.

1251
00:46:02,639 –> 00:46:04,439
What is the budget of Michigan?

1252
00:46:04,839 –> 00:46:05,359
I don’t know.

1253
00:46:05,359 –> 00:46:06,759
What is the budget of Detroit?

1254
00:46:07,919 –> 00:46:09,159
It’s got to be a couple billion.

1255
00:46:09,839 –> 00:46:12,559
What is the what is the budget of the federal government?

1256
00:46:12,559 –> 00:46:13,759
Not with runaway spending,

1257
00:46:13,759 –> 00:46:15,319
but what it what is the I have no idea.

1258
00:46:15,559 –> 00:46:16,279
7 trillion.

1259
00:46:16,359 –> 00:46:17,559
The state’s 7 trillion.

1260
00:46:17,559 –> 00:46:19,279
I’m going to round it off.

1261
00:46:19,279 –> 00:46:20,839
Detroit is about,

1262
00:46:20,919 –> 00:46:21,399
you know,

1263
00:46:22,439 –> 00:46:26,439
I don’t want to get deep into accounting,

1264
00:46:26,439 –> 00:46:27,039
but it’s about,

1265
00:46:27,079 –> 00:46:27,279
you know,

1266
00:46:27,279 –> 00:46:28,239
1 1/2 billion.

1267
00:46:28,279 –> 00:46:30,599
Michigan’s about 818182.

1268
00:46:30,599 –> 00:46:32,039
The United States government’s about four.

1269
00:46:32,199 –> 00:46:33,479
We’ll round up 5 trillion.

1270
00:46:33,559 –> 00:46:34,279
No, it’s seven now.

1271
00:46:34,719 –> 00:46:36,719
No, that’s what that’s what they’re spending.

1272
00:46:36,759 –> 00:46:37,399
That’s the spending.

1273
00:46:37,399 –> 00:46:39,399
The revenue we’re taking is five.

1274
00:46:39,879 –> 00:46:41,479
Ergo, the budget.

1275
00:46:41,639 –> 00:46:42,519
Budget’s what you spend,

1276
00:46:42,519 –> 00:46:43,399
not what you bring in.

1277
00:46:43,599 –> 00:46:45,439
The budget is what you say you’re going to spend.

1278
00:46:45,679 –> 00:46:47,559
The deficit is what you really did.

1279
00:46:49,239 –> 00:46:51,319
I think he gave me the corporate rates and shit.

1280
00:46:52,039 –> 00:46:53,479
Be sure to call Luke the wacky man.

1281
00:46:53,519 –> 00:46:54,199
I’m telling you guys,

1282
00:46:54,359 –> 00:46:55,959
he’s giving you every answer.

1283
00:46:55,959 –> 00:46:57,799
And Speaking of the Lions,

1284
00:46:57,959 –> 00:46:59,399
Oh my God,

1285
00:46:59,479 –> 00:47:01,039
Detroit, what are you doing?

1286
00:47:01,039 –> 00:47:04,279
Only in Detroit would we like.

1287
00:47:04,679 –> 00:47:07,239
This is the most expensive playoff ticket ever.

1288
00:47:07,239 –> 00:47:09,239
And it wasn’t for the Super Bowl.

1289
00:47:10,279 –> 00:47:10,799
We’re out.

1290
00:47:10,919 –> 00:47:11,559
We lost again.

1291
00:47:11,639 –> 00:47:14,439
You got you got playoff tickets all the way through

1292
00:47:14,599 –> 00:47:15,799
and they kept your money.

1293
00:47:16,039 –> 00:47:18,119
You’re going to collect interest and then you can come

1294
00:47:18,119 –> 00:47:18,999
back next year.

1295
00:47:19,079 –> 00:47:19,639
You know what?

1296
00:47:19,799 –> 00:47:21,079
This is so fucked up.

1297
00:47:21,239 –> 00:47:23,159
Everything’s so back to normal again.

1298
00:47:23,719 –> 00:47:25,399
And I want Pluto to be a planet.

1299
00:47:27,079 –> 00:47:28,439
Soon as Pluto comes back,

1300
00:47:28,439 –> 00:47:29,479
everything realigned.

1301
00:47:32,319 –> 00:47:33,519
I thought you meant the Disney character.

1302
00:47:33,519 –> 00:47:34,959
Oh, fuck, I told you guys were gone.

1303
00:47:34,999 –> 00:47:35,959
I told you.

1304
00:47:36,119 –> 00:47:38,279
Okay, remember the Wide World of Sports,

1305
00:47:38,279 –> 00:47:40,039
the the Dart Championships?

1306
00:47:40,439 –> 00:47:41,319
And they do it in the pub.

1307
00:47:41,319 –> 00:47:41,879
Remember that?

1308
00:47:42,839 –> 00:47:44,279
Ooh, that guy’s good.

1309
00:47:44,919 –> 00:47:45,919
Oh, that guy’s good,

1310
00:47:46,799 –> 00:47:51,959
When he’s got a clean pocket and his feet are steady.

1311
00:47:52,199 –> 00:47:54,439
Did you ever see a guy win the World Dart Championship

1312
00:47:55,319 –> 00:47:55,959
scrambling?

1313
00:47:56,759 –> 00:47:57,279
Did you ever see?

1314
00:47:59,679 –> 00:48:01,479
And that’s the difference between darts and football.

1315
00:48:01,799 –> 00:48:02,359
I told you,

1316
00:48:02,359 –> 00:48:04,039
if Jared Goff got to move his feet,

1317
00:48:04,039 –> 00:48:05,559
man, you’re in trouble.

1318
00:48:05,559 –> 00:48:09,159
So that’s what they meant by mobile quarterback.

1319
00:48:10,279 –> 00:48:11,639
I’m not a football person,

1320
00:48:11,639 –> 00:48:12,999
so I’m trying to learn here.

1321
00:48:12,999 –> 00:48:14,919
I’m not laying any of this on Jared Goff.

1322
00:48:14,919 –> 00:48:15,439
Come on, man.

1323
00:48:16,159 –> 00:48:17,159
That’s because you like him.

1324
00:48:17,479 –> 00:48:19,719
No, because he had a phenomenal season.

1325
00:48:19,719 –> 00:48:20,639
He had one bad game.

1326
00:48:20,639 –> 00:48:21,319
Shit happens.

1327
00:48:21,719 –> 00:48:24,279
I’m more pissed off at the offensive and defensive

1328
00:48:24,279 –> 00:48:26,679
coordinators doing interviews for new fucking jobs

1329
00:48:27,159 –> 00:48:27,839
during the playoffs.

1330
00:48:27,839 –> 00:48:28,519
Why shouldn’t they?

1331
00:48:28,759 –> 00:48:31,159
Because they got a fucking obligation to help our team

1332
00:48:31,159 –> 00:48:33,319
win the Super Bowl before they go out looking for

1333
00:48:33,319 –> 00:48:33,919
their next job.

1334
00:48:35,399 –> 00:48:37,319
Nobody has an obligation to anybody anymore.

1335
00:48:37,439 –> 00:48:37,839
It’s the pro.

1336
00:48:37,959 –> 00:48:38,559
That’s the problem.

1337
00:48:38,559 –> 00:48:39,239
It’s all business.

1338
00:48:40,079 –> 00:48:40,679
I’m old school.

1339
00:48:40,839 –> 00:48:41,719
Ben Johnson,

1340
00:48:42,279 –> 00:48:43,479
offensive coordinator.

1341
00:48:43,799 –> 00:48:47,079
The guy that gave us the well,

1342
00:48:47,879 –> 00:48:48,519
Who threw that pick,

1343
00:48:48,679 –> 00:48:49,319
Who threw the pick?

1344
00:48:49,879 –> 00:48:50,759
Jameson Williams.

1345
00:48:51,239 –> 00:48:53,639
That was a bad carpet Humper.

1346
00:48:53,719 –> 00:48:54,639
What was this guy?

1347
00:48:54,639 –> 00:48:55,399
I like the call.

1348
00:48:56,359 –> 00:48:57,319
Why would you like the call?

1349
00:48:57,639 –> 00:48:59,039
Cause it’s first down,

1350
00:48:59,079 –> 00:49:00,919
middle of the field in time for a trick play.

1351
00:49:00,999 –> 00:49:02,599
The execution was just garbage.

1352
00:49:02,759 –> 00:49:03,759
Dude, dude,

1353
00:49:03,759 –> 00:49:05,399
without Goff turning over the ball,

1354
00:49:05,399 –> 00:49:06,999
fumbling the ball four times.

1355
00:49:07,279 –> 00:49:08,879
What were they down 10 at that point?

1356
00:49:09,239 –> 00:49:10,439
Yeah, they were down 10.

1357
00:49:10,439 –> 00:49:11,559
It’s early in the second-half.

1358
00:49:12,039 –> 00:49:12,679
You’re moving,

1359
00:49:12,679 –> 00:49:14,919
you’re running at will and you’re doing that.

1360
00:49:15,159 –> 00:49:16,199
I like trick plays.

1361
00:49:16,439 –> 00:49:18,039
It’s been fun to watch.

1362
00:49:18,279 –> 00:49:19,679
That ain’t the time to do it.

1363
00:49:19,759 –> 00:49:21,079
You don’t have to do it every third play.

1364
00:49:22,839 –> 00:49:26,199
But didn’t I hear that the ticket holders sold their

1365
00:49:26,199 –> 00:49:27,239
tickets to people,

1366
00:49:27,239 –> 00:49:27,639
you know,

1367
00:49:27,639 –> 00:49:28,759
like at that game.

1368
00:49:28,759 –> 00:49:29,439
So the crowd,

1369
00:49:29,439 –> 00:49:31,279
I heard that the crowd was a little different than

1370
00:49:34,199 –> 00:49:36,039
I was, I was there and I thought,

1371
00:49:37,319 –> 00:49:38,039
what’d you pay?

1372
00:49:38,039 –> 00:49:38,919
How much did you pay?

1373
00:49:40,119 –> 00:49:41,599
That’s because he’s we have family tickets.

1374
00:49:41,639 –> 00:49:44,359
But I I was there and I was there for the mixed kids.

1375
00:49:44,839 –> 00:49:45,799
You live in the Palisades.

1376
00:49:45,799 –> 00:49:46,759
It’s my white privilege.

1377
00:49:48,999 –> 00:49:49,719
Wait, wait,

1378
00:49:49,759 –> 00:49:50,999
wait, wait,

1379
00:49:51,239 –> 00:49:52,039
Where are your seats?

1380
00:49:52,319 –> 00:49:53,039
Where are the seats?

1381
00:49:53,039 –> 00:49:54,479
Where are the seats at,

1382
00:49:55,399 –> 00:49:56,399
Section 107.

1383
00:49:56,399 –> 00:49:57,519
It’s like 40 yard line,

1384
00:49:57,919 –> 00:49:58,759
40 yard line,

1385
00:49:59,079 –> 00:49:59,639
upper bowl.

1386
00:50:00,119 –> 00:50:02,119
Pops has had them since the Silverdome opened.

1387
00:50:02,119 –> 00:50:04,199
So they don’t play in the Silverdome,

1388
00:50:04,679 –> 00:50:05,879
No, but he’s had season tickets.

1389
00:50:06,279 –> 00:50:06,799
Not the point.

1390
00:50:06,959 –> 00:50:08,439
The point is which.

1391
00:50:09,799 –> 00:50:10,279
Hey, listen,

1392
00:50:11,079 –> 00:50:11,719
I give up.

1393
00:50:11,719 –> 00:50:12,439
No, no, no,

1394
00:50:12,679 –> 00:50:14,039
But I just want to apologize.

1395
00:50:14,279 –> 00:50:16,679
You know, just a little early in the show we were.

1396
00:50:17,839 –> 00:50:19,959
Taking the piss out of all your oligarch friends.

1397
00:50:19,959 –> 00:50:20,839
I didn’t mean that.

1398
00:50:23,399 –> 00:50:25,039
Go ahead, tell me about the 40 yard line.

1399
00:50:26,359 –> 00:50:26,839
No, I just.

1400
00:50:26,839 –> 00:50:28,359
I didn’t think the crowd was that different.

1401
00:50:28,359 –> 00:50:32,279
People keep talking about the how you know it’s bandwagon

1402
00:50:32,839 –> 00:50:33,799
I didn’t feel that way.

1403
00:50:33,799 –> 00:50:36,599
I just thought the team got just trounced in the first

1404
00:50:36,599 –> 00:50:37,479
half and everyone’s just.

1405
00:50:38,119 –> 00:50:40,639
Yeah, but they were cheering people on.

1406
00:50:40,679 –> 00:50:41,399
I usually,

1407
00:50:41,399 –> 00:50:41,719
you know,

1408
00:50:41,799 –> 00:50:42,679
I mean, and I don’t watch.

1409
00:50:42,679 –> 00:50:45,519
I feel like they gave up a little early,

1410
00:50:45,759 –> 00:50:47,159
but you encourage your team.

1411
00:50:47,159 –> 00:50:47,679
You don’t,

1412
00:50:47,679 –> 00:50:47,919
you know,

1413
00:50:47,919 –> 00:50:49,079
I mean, when they,

1414
00:50:49,159 –> 00:50:49,479
when they,

1415
00:50:49,519 –> 00:50:51,199
when they need help or encouragement,

1416
00:50:51,199 –> 00:50:51,919
you’re supposed to be there.

1417
00:50:51,919 –> 00:50:53,759
Everybody just kind of fell in line with their.

1418
00:50:53,759 –> 00:50:54,759
Well, we did leave early.

1419
00:50:54,759 –> 00:50:56,399
So yeah, a lot of people did.

1420
00:50:56,399 –> 00:50:57,639
That’s what surprised me.

1421
00:50:57,639 –> 00:51:00,359
It seemed like very subdued before the game was actually

1422
00:51:01,079 –> 00:51:01,959
Everybody just gave up.

1423
00:51:02,639 –> 00:51:02,839
All right.

1424
00:51:02,839 –> 00:51:04,799
But so let me see if I get this right.

1425
00:51:04,799 –> 00:51:05,479
I didn’t, you know,

1426
00:51:05,479 –> 00:51:08,279
like go go over game tape for today’s show or.

1427
00:51:09,479 –> 00:51:10,599
So it was first court,

1428
00:51:10,599 –> 00:51:12,319
first quarter strips act,

1429
00:51:13,879 –> 00:51:17,559
So the the key here is the last five minutes of the

1430
00:51:17,559 –> 00:51:18,119
first half,

1431
00:51:18,119 –> 00:51:20,039
if I if I recall,

1432
00:51:20,039 –> 00:51:21,479
the Lions were down.

1433
00:51:22,559 –> 00:51:24,039
The pick six.

1434
00:51:24,559 –> 00:51:25,239
How were they?

1435
00:51:25,559 –> 00:51:28,039
How much were they down before this pick six?

1436
00:51:29,079 –> 00:51:29,719
I believe so.

1437
00:51:29,879 –> 00:51:32,279
That put him down 10 and then they threw down three

1438
00:51:32,759 –> 00:51:34,239
and man, what a wild overthrow.

1439
00:51:34,239 –> 00:51:34,759
And you got,

1440
00:51:34,759 –> 00:51:35,279
you got it.

1441
00:51:35,399 –> 00:51:36,839
Was it Laporta underneath there?

1442
00:51:36,839 –> 00:51:37,559
I don’t remember.

1443
00:51:37,719 –> 00:51:41,239
Yeah, he chose to throw over Laporta to into triple

1444
00:51:41,399 –> 00:51:42,119
coverage.

1445
00:51:42,519 –> 00:51:43,639
That was his biggest mistake.

1446
00:51:43,639 –> 00:51:44,719
And he had to move his feet.

1447
00:51:44,759 –> 00:51:46,039
It wasn’t a clean pocket.

1448
00:51:46,039 –> 00:51:46,799
He had to move his feet.

1449
00:51:46,839 –> 00:51:47,879
Bad, bad, bad,

1450
00:51:48,119 –> 00:51:51,079
I forgive him for the fumble just because fumbles are

1451
00:51:51,079 –> 00:51:51,719
random, right?

1452
00:51:51,759 –> 00:51:52,439
And the fact that.

1453
00:51:52,559 –> 00:51:53,879
Whoever recovers is ran.

1454
00:51:53,879 –> 00:51:55,479
Washington had a fumble and went out of bounds.

1455
00:51:55,479 –> 00:51:55,919
So, I mean,

1456
00:51:55,919 –> 00:51:56,999
that’s not really his fault.

1457
00:51:56,999 –> 00:51:58,239
Jane Dangles didn’t fumble.

1458
00:51:58,799 –> 00:51:59,479
No, he did not.

1459
00:51:59,479 –> 00:52:00,119
The pick six,

1460
00:52:00,359 –> 00:52:01,799
the pick six,

1461
00:52:01,799 –> 00:52:03,639
the interception at the end of the first half.

1462
00:52:03,719 –> 00:52:06,999
OK, so he threw a pick six and then they got the ball

1463
00:52:07,559 –> 00:52:08,279
They’re down 10.

1464
00:52:08,279 –> 00:52:10,919
They got the ball back and then they’re driving again.

1465
00:52:11,239 –> 00:52:11,959
They’re they,

1466
00:52:12,039 –> 00:52:12,759
they drive.

1467
00:52:12,999 –> 00:52:15,119
They’re down about to 202530.

1468
00:52:16,039 –> 00:52:16,519
Oh, I like that.

1469
00:52:16,679 –> 00:52:18,199
202530, ten 2540.

1470
00:52:18,839 –> 00:52:19,799
Let’s schoolhouse rock.

1471
00:52:22,519 –> 00:52:26,039
And he throws it in the end zone and Santis feel undercussed.

1472
00:52:26,039 –> 00:52:27,879
Go blue and picks him.

1473
00:52:28,519 –> 00:52:30,919
That’s two picks in 5 minutes.

1474
00:52:30,999 –> 00:52:34,119
Cost you 10 God.

1475
00:52:34,519 –> 00:52:36,599
But they lost and it’s over.

1476
00:52:37,399 –> 00:52:38,519
Now you know what’s over?

1477
00:52:38,559 –> 00:52:39,519
I’m sorry to say this.

1478
00:52:39,519 –> 00:52:43,719
Did the window close on this lion’s sweet spot?

1479
00:52:43,719 –> 00:52:45,199
No, no, I think it closed.

1480
00:52:47,159 –> 00:52:48,279
You lost Ben Johnson.

1481
00:52:48,359 –> 00:52:49,799
You’re probably going to lose Aaron Glenn,

1482
00:52:49,799 –> 00:52:50,959
the defensive coordinator.

1483
00:52:51,559 –> 00:52:52,439
I think he’s overrated.

1484
00:52:53,319 –> 00:52:55,279
I thought he did a magnificent job.

1485
00:52:55,279 –> 00:52:58,239
He had one game that he did a magnificent job two games

1486
00:52:58,439 –> 00:53:02,199
You got, you got 6 starters on injured reserve.

1487
00:53:02,199 –> 00:53:02,679
I don’t know.

1488
00:53:03,919 –> 00:53:04,879
They don’t pay enough for you.

1489
00:53:04,879 –> 00:53:06,359
All right,

1490
00:53:06,359 –> 00:53:07,479
well, you know,

1491
00:53:09,639 –> 00:53:10,439
it is what it is.

1492
00:53:10,919 –> 00:53:11,639
And what is it?

1493
00:53:11,639 –> 00:53:12,559
Go Red Wings.

1494
00:53:14,239 –> 00:53:15,439
Come on, the Pistons are hot now.

1495
00:53:15,799 –> 00:53:16,879
They’re over 500.

1496
00:53:16,919 –> 00:53:18,679
Well, you’re lucky there’s a play-in game.

1497
00:53:18,679 –> 00:53:20,679
I don’t even know what the playoffs are in the NBA.

1498
00:53:22,119 –> 00:53:23,239
It’s crap.

1499
00:53:23,279 –> 00:53:23,879
And all these guys.

1500
00:53:24,039 –> 00:53:24,759
OK, anyway,

1501
00:53:27,079 –> 00:53:27,799
Go green, too.

1502
00:53:28,399 –> 00:53:29,359
We got a nice basketball game.

1503
00:53:29,359 –> 00:53:30,719
Spartans save Michigan State.

1504
00:53:30,719 –> 00:53:32,119
11 straight wins.

1505
00:53:32,119 –> 00:53:35,239
They’re on pace to win the Big 10 championship.

1506
00:53:35,639 –> 00:53:38,199
Maybe the best Michigan State team is those ever had.

1507
00:53:39,359 –> 00:53:41,719
Michigan’s only got one loss in the conference.

1508
00:53:42,279 –> 00:53:43,439
They’re looking nice.

1509
00:53:43,479 –> 00:53:44,679
I know two more they’re going to have.

1510
00:53:44,879 –> 00:53:47,199
They lost three games by a total of five points.

1511
00:53:47,239 –> 00:53:47,799
I don’t know.

1512
00:53:47,799 –> 00:53:49,399
That’s that’s the whole good thing about it.

1513
00:53:49,399 –> 00:53:50,479
Is this a sports show now?

1514
00:53:50,479 –> 00:53:52,439
I don’t want to hear any more from Jason.

1515
00:53:52,759 –> 00:53:55,479
And I want to know before we go why the University

1516
00:53:55,479 –> 00:53:56,799
of California at Berkeley,

1517
00:53:57,719 –> 00:54:00,119
arguably the best public university in the world,

1518
00:54:00,359 –> 00:54:03,719
the arguments between Berkeley and Michigan that Cal.

1519
00:54:04,639 –> 00:54:07,519
That the incoming freshman class,

1520
00:54:07,519 –> 00:54:11,719
85% of the freshman class is from California and why

1521
00:54:11,879 –> 00:54:16,279
only 50% of the incoming class in Ann Arbor is from

1522
00:54:16,279 –> 00:54:16,999
Michigan.

1523
00:54:17,639 –> 00:54:18,839
That’s bullshit.

1524
00:54:20,439 –> 00:54:21,559
See you next Tuesday.

1525
00:54:23,159 –> 00:54:23,639
Here we go.
