Transcripts:
1
00:00:00,880 –> 00:00:02,000
These are body ovens,
2
00:00:02,000 –> 00:00:02,920
crematoriums.
3
00:00:02,920 –> 00:00:04,240
And five years ago,
4
00:00:04,320 –> 00:00:05,200
in November,
5
00:00:05,200 –> 00:00:07,320
at the second wave of COVID,
6
00:00:07,800 –> 00:00:12,240
a friend brought me here to introduce me to the workers
7
00:00:13,160 –> 00:00:16,480
and show me how it ended for all those people in the
8
00:00:16,480 –> 00:00:17,120
nursing home.
9
00:00:17,120 –> 00:00:18,960
This place was stacked to the roof,
10
00:00:19,200 –> 00:00:20,080
body after body.
11
00:00:20,240 –> 00:00:21,520
No acknowledgement.
12
00:00:21,680 –> 00:00:22,880
They were never counted.
13
00:00:23,040 –> 00:00:24,760
The nursing homes were never fixed.
14
00:00:24,920 –> 00:00:26,720
And we pretend like we’re just going to move on.
15
00:00:26,960 –> 00:00:27,640
I can’t.
16
00:00:28,240 –> 00:00:28,800
I can’t.
17
00:00:29,040 –> 00:00:29,520
That night,
18
00:00:30,640 –> 00:00:31,840
I can’t get it out of my head.
19
00:00:34,080 –> 00:00:36,160
So I want you to go to theenjoyer.com because it’s
20
00:00:36,160 –> 00:00:37,000
too much for a video.
21
00:00:37,000 –> 00:00:40,560
I want you to read where I’m going with this and how
22
00:00:40,560 –> 00:00:44,640
we get justice and recognition and we make end of
23
00:00:44,640 –> 00:00:46,640
care life a better place.
24
00:00:47,600 –> 00:00:48,880
Wimmer’s not going to run.
25
00:00:49,120 –> 00:00:50,560
Nestle’s not going to run.
26
00:00:51,720 –> 00:00:53,040
Politicians aren’t going to run.
27
00:00:53,040 –> 00:00:54,960
We deserve to know.
28
00:00:55,040 –> 00:00:56,400
You, whose people
29
00:00:57,000 –> 00:00:58,320
This was their final spot.
30
00:00:58,320 –> 00:00:59,200
You deserve to know.
31
00:00:59,360 –> 00:01:00,640
I have not forgotten.
32
00:01:01,920 –> 00:01:02,720
Joy.com.
33
00:01:09,880 –> 00:01:12,240
Live from downtown Detroit,
34
00:01:12,480 –> 00:01:17,000
it’s the No Bullshit News Hour with my main man,
35
00:01:17,800 –> 00:01:23,400
Charlie LaDa and Karen Dumas.
36
00:01:23,440 –> 00:01:25,920
I’m just breaking this.
37
00:01:26,480 –> 00:01:27,680
Double or bullshit.
38
00:01:27,840 –> 00:01:28,720
Double or bullshit.
39
00:01:37,680 –> 00:01:38,920
American Coney Island.
40
00:01:39,040 –> 00:01:42,400
So good, even Al Roker from the Today Show eats here.
41
00:01:42,560 –> 00:01:43,560
Not like that other guy,
42
00:01:43,560 –> 00:01:44,720
Al Joker,
43
00:01:44,880 –> 00:01:46,160
who eats at Lafayette.
44
00:01:46,720 –> 00:01:49,440
So make sure you’re a Roker and not a joker.
45
00:01:49,840 –> 00:01:50,840
American Coney Island.
46
00:01:56,640 –> 00:02:01,920
You know your teeth can’t heal,
47
00:02:01,920 –> 00:02:03,120
but the stock market can.
48
00:02:03,120 –> 00:02:04,160
That’s just a fact.
49
00:02:04,480 –> 00:02:06,480
The market roller coaster is making you grind your
50
00:02:06,480 –> 00:02:06,800
teeth.
51
00:02:07,040 –> 00:02:12,400
Call or text my friend Luke Nowacki at 248-663-4748.
52
00:02:12,800 –> 00:02:15,040
We’re all hanging on to this ride like Gail King and
53
00:02:15,040 –> 00:02:15,760
Katy Perry.
54
00:02:16,000 –> 00:02:17,360
Just hang on to your flower.
55
00:02:17,600 –> 00:02:19,800
Some people are saying that the earth will be better
56
00:02:19,800 –> 00:02:21,040
when this is all over.
57
00:02:21,680 –> 00:02:22,560
Luke Nowacki,
58
00:02:22,640 –> 00:02:23,840
Pinnacle Wealth Strategies.
59
00:02:24,840 –> 00:02:26,440
What the fuck did I even mean by that,
60
00:02:26,440 –> 00:02:26,720
Red?
61
00:02:27,520 –> 00:02:28,520
I have no idea.
62
00:02:28,680 –> 00:02:30,240
It’s just Luke Nowacki.
63
00:02:30,240 –> 00:02:30,800
And by the way,
64
00:02:30,800 –> 00:02:33,600
go to americanconeyisland.com and have a Coney kit
65
00:02:33,840 –> 00:02:37,360
delivered to your or a loved one porch.
66
00:02:37,760 –> 00:02:38,840
It’s good for the ball games.
67
00:02:38,840 –> 00:02:40,160
You’re all getting together watching.
68
00:02:40,640 –> 00:02:42,280
college football just around the corner.
69
00:02:43,440 –> 00:02:44,720
Pro football is here.
70
00:02:45,680 –> 00:02:48,080
I wouldn’t be calling that pro what I’ve been watching.
71
00:02:49,760 –> 00:02:50,240
Okay, look,
72
00:02:50,560 –> 00:02:52,160
I said go to the enjoyer.com,
73
00:02:52,160 –> 00:02:54,440
but you’re not going to go to the enjoyer.com a lot
74
00:02:54,440 –> 00:02:54,640
of you.
75
00:02:54,640 –> 00:02:56,800
So let me tell you what’s in there.
76
00:02:59,040 –> 00:03:02,160
Dana Nessa was subpoenaed twice two weeks ago,
77
00:03:02,160 –> 00:03:03,040
as I told you.
78
00:03:03,840 –> 00:03:07,840
Now, a state attorney general being served with legal
79
00:03:07,840 –> 00:03:10,000
papers is unusual enough.
80
00:03:10,400 –> 00:03:14,480
What’s more unusual is the subject of these subpoenas.
81
00:03:14,880 –> 00:03:17,760
The Michigan House Oversight Committee is demanding
82
00:03:17,760 –> 00:03:21,280
documents that may demonstrate how Nestle helped cover
83
00:03:21,280 –> 00:03:24,720
up possible crimes involving her political friends
84
00:03:25,120 –> 00:03:26,480
and actual family.
85
00:03:27,280 –> 00:03:28,480
More unusual still,
86
00:03:29,040 –> 00:03:31,920
not a word of those subpoenas has made its way into
87
00:03:31,920 –> 00:03:34,560
the pages of the state’s largest newspapers.
88
00:03:35,280 –> 00:03:36,080
Who knows why?
89
00:03:37,360 –> 00:03:39,600
Maybe the media is trying to protect their political
90
00:03:39,600 –> 00:03:40,480
dinner guests.
91
00:03:40,800 –> 00:03:42,560
Maybe it’s professional jealousy.
92
00:03:43,040 –> 00:03:46,160
The documents the oversight committee seeks have been
93
00:03:46,160 –> 00:03:48,240
well documented here.
94
00:03:49,440 –> 00:03:52,800
I will continue to write and speak about Nestle’s proclivity
95
00:03:53,040 –> 00:03:56,960
for selective prosecution because it seems to me she’s
96
00:03:56,960 –> 00:04:00,480
abandoned all pretense of political duty and human
97
00:04:00,480 –> 00:04:01,280
decency.
98
00:04:01,680 –> 00:04:03,680
Now let me take you back five years ago.
99
00:04:04,480 –> 00:04:07,760
I was profiling a man in November,
100
00:04:07,760 –> 00:04:08,640
December,
101
00:04:08,880 –> 00:04:12,240
whose job it was to collect COVID-infected corpses
102
00:04:12,320 –> 00:04:15,200
from Michigan’s nursing homes during the deadliest
103
00:04:15,200 –> 00:04:16,320
month of the pandemic.
104
00:04:17,120 –> 00:04:20,000
Helping bagged bodies was the only way I could get
105
00:04:20,160 –> 00:04:23,360
into the lockdown facilities to see if Governor Whitmer’s
106
00:04:23,360 –> 00:04:26,800
mandate to place the sick and the healthy inside the
107
00:04:26,800 –> 00:04:30,480
same building was actually good science like she was
108
00:04:30,480 –> 00:04:31,040
claiming.
109
00:04:31,720 –> 00:04:33,760
And it was obvious it was not.
110
00:04:34,040 –> 00:04:37,680
The COVID wings I witnessed were uniformly separated
111
00:04:37,840 –> 00:04:40,000
from the living quarters of the healthy residents
112
00:04:40,240 –> 00:04:43,120
by simple shower curtains and tarps,
113
00:04:43,280 –> 00:04:46,000
the kind of shit you put on your roof to keep the
114
00:04:46,000 –> 00:04:46,560
rain out.
115
00:04:47,520 –> 00:04:50,400
Nurses and attendants routinely passed back and forth
116
00:04:50,400 –> 00:04:51,440
between the tarp.
117
00:04:52,000 –> 00:04:56,640
Now the enormity of the blunder became shockingly apparent
118
00:04:56,840 –> 00:04:59,760
when the corpse collector took me to a crematorium
119
00:04:59,760 –> 00:05:00,880
in Metro Detroit.
120
00:05:01,520 –> 00:05:03,680
Bodies were stacked nearly to the roof,
121
00:05:04,000 –> 00:05:07,120
and management was forced to turn away more victims
122
00:05:07,280 –> 00:05:08,400
due to the backlog.
123
00:05:09,280 –> 00:05:11,920
Most of the dead were elderly.
124
00:05:12,480 –> 00:05:16,000
It was a macabre barometer of what was going on,
125
00:05:16,080 –> 00:05:19,680
and nobody at home could see it or was told about
126
00:05:19,680 –> 00:05:19,840
it.
127
00:05:20,320 –> 00:05:23,520
That ghastly scene of the workers and the body bags
128
00:05:23,600 –> 00:05:26,720
and the flames and the smell,
129
00:05:27,200 –> 00:05:28,800
it all burned into my brain,
130
00:05:28,880 –> 00:05:30,400
and I shall never
131
00:05:30,720 –> 00:05:31,360
forget.
132
00:05:31,840 –> 00:05:32,560
Never.
133
00:05:33,280 –> 00:05:35,760
So I sued the state for its COVID death data,
134
00:05:36,000 –> 00:05:37,280
and I won that case,
135
00:05:37,680 –> 00:05:41,240
sort of, because I came to find out that the long-term
136
00:05:41,240 –> 00:05:44,080
care facility death count was fake.
137
00:05:44,800 –> 00:05:48,000
A subsequent study by the state auditor general proved
138
00:05:48,000 –> 00:05:48,640
as much.
139
00:05:49,200 –> 00:05:52,320
His findings were dismissed by a group of hand-selected
140
00:05:52,320 –> 00:05:54,560
media types by the government
141
00:05:54,960 –> 00:05:58,760
who had actually neglected to give them a copy of the
142
00:05:58,800 –> 00:06:01,840
audit, so they were writing that the audit was bogus
143
00:06:02,000 –> 00:06:03,760
without ever having seen the audit.
144
00:06:05,200 –> 00:06:08,000
Nestle also dismissed the undercounting of the dead,
145
00:06:08,160 –> 00:06:12,000
referring to human beings as apples and oranges.
146
00:06:12,560 –> 00:06:14,120
She refused to investigate,
147
00:06:14,120 –> 00:06:17,840
telling a group of nursing home lobbyists and CEOs
148
00:06:18,080 –> 00:06:18,400
at
149
00:06:18,880 –> 00:06:22,800
their 2023 annual convention that they did a phenomenal
150
00:06:22,800 –> 00:06:23,280
job.
151
00:06:23,680 –> 00:06:24,320
Now, Nestle,
152
00:06:24,320 –> 00:06:25,200
it should be pointed out,
153
00:06:25,440 –> 00:06:28,640
takes a lot of money from the nursing home lobby.
154
00:06:28,800 –> 00:06:29,680
Roll the video.
155
00:06:29,800 –> 00:06:33,200
And I’m just tired of hearing it regurgitated over
156
00:06:33,200 –> 00:06:36,400
and over and over again that terrible things happen
157
00:06:36,720 –> 00:06:37,840
at your facilities.
158
00:06:37,840 –> 00:06:38,960
It’s not true.
159
00:06:42,160 –> 00:06:43,760
Give that overwhelming applause.
160
00:06:44,920 –> 00:06:47,120
And it’s just that people are much safer,
161
00:06:47,200 –> 00:06:47,840
quite honestly,
162
00:06:47,840 –> 00:06:50,160
in your facilities than really,
163
00:06:50,160 –> 00:06:52,360
well, certainly than when you go into the Capitol
164
00:06:52,360 –> 00:06:52,680
building,
165
00:06:52,680 –> 00:06:53,480
I’ll tell you that right now.
166
00:06:53,480 –> 00:06:55,440
Did you hear that applause?
167
00:06:56,400 –> 00:06:56,960
Smattering.
168
00:06:56,960 –> 00:06:57,360
They’re like,
169
00:06:57,360 –> 00:06:57,960
holy fuck,
170
00:06:57,960 –> 00:06:59,040
are we getting away with this?
171
00:06:59,040 –> 00:06:59,280
Yeah.
172
00:06:59,360 –> 00:07:00,080
Holy shit.
173
00:07:01,440 –> 00:07:05,520
Now, if the Attorney General could politicize the silent
174
00:07:05,520 –> 00:07:08,080
deaths of thousands of senior citizens,
175
00:07:08,320 –> 00:07:10,160
then what else was she sitting on?
176
00:07:11,200 –> 00:07:12,880
So now come the subpoenas.
177
00:07:13,360 –> 00:07:15,120
The first involves Nestle’s wife,
178
00:07:15,120 –> 00:07:16,240
Alana McGuire,
179
00:07:16,480 –> 00:07:19,360
who is connected to a political dark money laundering
180
00:07:19,360 –> 00:07:19,760
scheme.
181
00:07:20,080 –> 00:07:21,120
I didn’t say that.
182
00:07:21,280 –> 00:07:25,200
That’s according to a 2023 criminal referral sent to
183
00:07:25,200 –> 00:07:27,280
Nestle by Jocelyn Benson,
184
00:07:27,440 –> 00:07:28,800
our Secretary of State.
185
00:07:29,360 –> 00:07:32,160
Those charges were referred to Nestle more than two
186
00:07:32,160 –> 00:07:32,960
years ago,
187
00:07:33,200 –> 00:07:35,240
but the referral seems to have vaporized.
188
00:07:36,000 –> 00:07:39,120
Now the oversight committee has unearthed it.
189
00:07:40,080 –> 00:07:40,960
Meanwhile,
190
00:07:41,120 –> 00:07:44,240
people connected to a conservative Unlock Michigan
191
00:07:44,240 –> 00:07:47,520
campaign in 2020 were charged with similar crimes
192
00:07:47,680 –> 00:07:50,240
and faced prison time and hefty fines.
193
00:07:50,720 –> 00:07:54,320
The media has spilled barrels of ink on the intricacies
194
00:07:54,480 –> 00:07:56,560
of this mind-numbing case.
195
00:07:56,960 –> 00:08:00,000
And yet, nothing on the Fair and Equal Michigan gay
196
00:08:00,000 –> 00:08:02,960
rights campaign spearheaded by McGuire
197
00:08:03,600 –> 00:08:05,120
the attorney general’s wife,
198
00:08:05,440 –> 00:08:06,560
and Richard Zuba,
199
00:08:06,800 –> 00:08:10,160
the political pollster who raised money for that campaign.
200
00:08:11,440 –> 00:08:12,160
It’s curious.
201
00:08:12,880 –> 00:08:15,600
The second subpoena involves Nestle’s and Whitmer’s
202
00:08:15,600 –> 00:08:17,520
gal pal, Tracy Cornack,
203
00:08:17,760 –> 00:08:20,800
a slip and fall lawyer who moonlighted as the treasurer
204
00:08:20,960 –> 00:08:22,640
for the state Democratic Party.
205
00:08:23,040 –> 00:08:24,280
Cornack was accused,
206
00:08:24,280 –> 00:08:25,440
at the very least,
207
00:08:25,600 –> 00:08:28,800
of attempting to commit insurance fraud in the name
208
00:08:28,920 –> 00:08:29,760
of an elderly,
209
00:08:29,840 –> 00:08:31,840
brain-damaged client of hers.
210
00:08:32,960 –> 00:08:37,040
Cornett worked for Nestle’s transition team when Nestle
211
00:08:37,040 –> 00:08:38,800
was first elected to office.
212
00:08:39,200 –> 00:08:41,040
Because of this obvious,
213
00:08:41,640 –> 00:08:43,360
obvious conflict of interest,
214
00:08:43,680 –> 00:08:46,560
Nestle’s subordinates drew up what’s called an ethical
215
00:08:46,560 –> 00:08:49,840
firewall document so that Nestle could not and would
216
00:08:49,840 –> 00:08:53,440
not involve herself in her friend’s criminal investigation.
217
00:08:53,920 –> 00:08:55,840
But Nestle did involve herself,
218
00:08:55,840 –> 00:08:57,040
as you know,
219
00:08:58,880 –> 00:09:01,160
as one of the smart people that listen to this program.
220
00:09:02,160 –> 00:09:06,080
and Kornak was even given parts of the active case
221
00:09:06,080 –> 00:09:08,240
file where she was the suspect.
222
00:09:08,800 –> 00:09:12,480
The media wrote nothing after I first exposed this
223
00:09:12,880 –> 00:09:13,680
or since.
224
00:09:14,560 –> 00:09:17,680
Now that the oversight committee is seeking those very
225
00:09:17,680 –> 00:09:18,640
same documents,
226
00:09:19,520 –> 00:09:20,960
more crickets from the media.
227
00:09:22,000 –> 00:09:23,920
Let’s see where the oversight committee takes us,
228
00:09:23,920 –> 00:09:24,480
Michigan,
229
00:09:24,720 –> 00:09:28,240
because if it can move a political hack like Dana
230
00:09:28,240 –> 00:09:29,600
Nestle to the side,
231
00:09:30,000 –> 00:09:33,280
then maybe we can get true answers as to what happened
232
00:09:33,280 –> 00:09:36,200
in the nursing home to our loved ones,
233
00:09:36,200 –> 00:09:37,600
what Whitmer knew,
234
00:09:37,840 –> 00:09:39,040
and when she knew it.
235
00:09:39,760 –> 00:09:44,480
Then we might actually fix the abysmal state of end-of-life
236
00:09:44,480 –> 00:09:45,760
care in this state.
237
00:09:46,480 –> 00:09:47,360
So I’m on it,
238
00:09:48,000 –> 00:09:49,200
I’ll stay on it,
239
00:09:49,760 –> 00:09:51,360
and I’ll see you next Tuesday.
240
00:10:06,000 –> 00:10:06,600
Hit me again.
241
00:10:06,600 –> 00:10:10,960
Has a catchy ring to it.
242
00:10:11,960 –> 00:10:12,520
That’s good stuff.
243
00:10:15,680 –> 00:10:16,320
It’s trendy.
244
00:10:23,680 –> 00:10:27,600
It’s amazing to me how the connections keep the cover-ups
245
00:10:27,600 –> 00:10:31,040
going and we never get solutions to the problem and
246
00:10:31,040 –> 00:10:33,120
people just don’t seem to realize that.
247
00:10:34,160 –> 00:10:34,640
You’re right,
248
00:10:34,640 –> 00:10:34,960
man.
249
00:10:34,960 –> 00:10:35,440
And like, you know,
250
00:10:35,440 –> 00:10:36,000
I get up,
251
00:10:36,000 –> 00:10:37,160
my back is killing me.
252
00:10:37,160 –> 00:10:37,920
I don’t know why.
253
00:10:38,640 –> 00:10:39,920
My crown fell out.
254
00:10:39,960 –> 00:10:40,080
Right.
255
00:10:41,200 –> 00:10:44,160
And I’m trying to prep this show here.
256
00:10:44,160 –> 00:10:44,800
And I’m like,
257
00:10:45,600 –> 00:10:46,200
I don’t know,
258
00:10:46,200 –> 00:10:46,400
man.
259
00:10:46,400 –> 00:10:47,720
People driving up nowhere to go.
260
00:10:47,720 –> 00:10:50,040
There goes Le Duff again and fucking nursing home.
261
00:10:50,040 –> 00:10:51,040
This guy, five years,
262
00:10:51,040 –> 00:10:52,160
this guy with the nursing home.
263
00:10:52,400 –> 00:10:53,400
But I can’t,
264
00:10:53,400 –> 00:10:53,760
dude.
265
00:10:54,480 –> 00:10:55,120
You know what I mean?
266
00:10:55,200 –> 00:10:56,080
That image,
267
00:10:56,240 –> 00:10:59,760
like I worked so hard to really figure out what was
268
00:10:59,760 –> 00:11:01,920
going on because what a consequential time that we
269
00:11:01,920 –> 00:11:03,320
all decided we’re going to forget about.
270
00:11:04,000 –> 00:11:07,600
And that moment in that Bosch painting,
271
00:11:08,240 –> 00:11:10,480
That hell just,
272
00:11:11,920 –> 00:11:14,080
I don’t want to say radicalize me because I’m not
273
00:11:14,080 –> 00:11:14,720
a radical.
274
00:11:14,800 –> 00:11:15,120
Right.
275
00:11:15,240 –> 00:11:16,480
I’m going to be precise.
276
00:11:16,480 –> 00:11:19,360
I’m going to be accurate and I’m going to work.
277
00:11:19,840 –> 00:11:20,880
And I, you know,
278
00:11:21,200 –> 00:11:25,840
I got a kid who went from the eighth grade to the
279
00:11:25,840 –> 00:11:26,560
ninth grade,
280
00:11:26,800 –> 00:11:27,520
a girl.
281
00:11:27,840 –> 00:11:30,000
That’s a very formative time in your life.
282
00:11:30,240 –> 00:11:32,000
You know, now we’re all walking around today like,
283
00:11:32,000 –> 00:11:33,680
got to get the kids off the screens.
284
00:11:34,000 –> 00:11:37,120
And all we did in their formative years was teach them
285
00:11:37,120 –> 00:11:37,440
to
286
00:11:37,580 –> 00:11:38,500
Be on the screen.
287
00:11:38,500 –> 00:11:39,660
Get lost in there.
288
00:11:39,660 –> 00:11:39,900
Yeah.
289
00:11:40,540 –> 00:11:41,420
That’s what we did.
290
00:11:41,460 –> 00:11:42,700
And why did we do it?
291
00:11:44,060 –> 00:11:46,100
Because they locked us in the house and told us it
292
00:11:46,100 –> 00:11:49,260
wasn’t safe to be outside or around each other and
293
00:11:49,660 –> 00:11:50,060
this, that,
294
00:11:50,060 –> 00:11:50,620
and other.
295
00:11:50,620 –> 00:11:51,300
In the meantime,
296
00:11:51,300 –> 00:11:54,460
they had all our elderly and senior citizens basically
297
00:11:54,460 –> 00:11:57,700
suffering in these petri dishes of nursing homes.
298
00:11:57,860 –> 00:11:57,980
Yes.
299
00:11:58,140 –> 00:12:00,540
You know, it was like it became evident to everybody.
300
00:12:00,540 –> 00:12:02,140
That’s why nobody’s talking about because everybody
301
00:12:02,140 –> 00:12:05,340
knows this got old people.
302
00:12:05,900 –> 00:12:08,900
And yes, people with comorbidities over what,
303
00:12:09,580 –> 00:12:11,460
but majority of 80%
304
00:12:11,740 –> 00:12:12,620
was old people.
305
00:12:12,820 –> 00:12:13,100
Right.
306
00:12:13,380 –> 00:12:14,860
And so what was the idea here?
307
00:12:15,180 –> 00:12:17,020
Stick them all in the same building.
308
00:12:18,220 –> 00:12:18,620
Right.
309
00:12:19,020 –> 00:12:20,260
And this didn’t,
310
00:12:20,260 –> 00:12:21,580
like Cuomo did it in New York.
311
00:12:21,580 –> 00:12:22,740
That’s where Whitmer copied it.
312
00:12:23,500 –> 00:12:23,900
They did it.
313
00:12:23,940 –> 00:12:26,540
He did it for 40 days and stopped it when the media,
314
00:12:27,100 –> 00:12:27,420
you know,
315
00:12:27,420 –> 00:12:30,780
the rabid media got on it and he quit doing it.
316
00:12:31,260 –> 00:12:31,900
We
317
00:12:32,700 –> 00:12:34,460
That’s what I was going to say.
318
00:12:34,460 –> 00:12:36,940
Maybe I’m a forgiving person because I understand people
319
00:12:36,940 –> 00:12:39,100
are going to make mistakes with a novel virus.
320
00:12:39,900 –> 00:12:43,980
Okay, But you got to be a little more agile and responsible
321
00:12:44,060 –> 00:12:45,940
in when to change and when to maneuver.
322
00:12:45,940 –> 00:12:47,380
And the state simply wasn’t.
323
00:12:47,900 –> 00:12:49,820
And that’s one thing with Cuomo too.
324
00:12:49,980 –> 00:12:51,420
When it was brought to the light,
325
00:12:51,660 –> 00:12:55,340
he stood on the business of taking the accountability.
326
00:12:55,660 –> 00:12:57,500
I was wrong for whatever reason.
327
00:12:57,740 –> 00:12:59,900
Let’s cease and desist this right now.
328
00:13:00,100 –> 00:13:00,620
And oddly,
329
00:13:00,740 –> 00:13:01,980
he paid a bigger price.
330
00:13:02,540 –> 00:13:04,620
Yeah, he’s losing their mom,
331
00:13:04,620 –> 00:13:05,180
Dami.
332
00:13:05,580 –> 00:13:06,380
That’s what a big,
333
00:13:06,460 –> 00:13:08,100
that’s Andrew Cuomo.
334
00:13:08,100 –> 00:13:09,700
That guy’s a political titan,
335
00:13:09,700 –> 00:13:10,380
that family.
336
00:13:10,940 –> 00:13:12,620
And, you know,
337
00:13:12,620 –> 00:13:14,540
you can’t even get to be the mayor in New York because
338
00:13:14,860 –> 00:13:16,860
it’s not his boor’s behavior at work.
339
00:13:16,860 –> 00:13:18,860
It was the cover-up,
340
00:13:19,900 –> 00:13:20,620
allegedly,
341
00:13:20,780 –> 00:13:20,980
you know,
342
00:13:20,980 –> 00:13:21,420
whatever.
343
00:13:21,580 –> 00:13:22,940
I don’t know who was doing what in there,
344
00:13:22,940 –> 00:13:24,700
but of the old people.
345
00:13:24,860 –> 00:13:27,420
And we still don’t have a count.
346
00:13:28,060 –> 00:13:28,780
We don’t have a count.
347
00:13:28,780 –> 00:13:29,820
We got to get a count.
348
00:13:30,140 –> 00:13:31,020
And we got to know
349
00:13:31,580 –> 00:13:32,460
who knew what,
350
00:13:32,780 –> 00:13:33,060
right?
351
00:13:33,060 –> 00:13:36,780
Because if they knew the depths of this or the fact
352
00:13:37,020 –> 00:13:39,020
that they didn’t know the depths of this,
353
00:13:39,260 –> 00:13:40,700
it’s all a crime to me.
354
00:13:40,900 –> 00:13:41,100
Yeah.
355
00:13:41,260 –> 00:13:41,820
And I’m not,
356
00:13:41,820 –> 00:13:42,740
I’m just not that,
357
00:13:42,780 –> 00:13:43,540
I’m not giving up.
358
00:13:44,220 –> 00:13:46,380
And for those that might be sitting back thinking,
359
00:13:46,380 –> 00:13:49,340
well, why is this such a hard hammer issue?
360
00:13:49,420 –> 00:13:50,460
Because guess what?
361
00:13:50,780 –> 00:13:53,580
We’re all going to be old one day.
362
00:13:53,580 –> 00:13:57,420
And I doubt if this will be the last time we see some
363
00:13:57,420 –> 00:13:59,260
pandemic type situation.
364
00:13:59,260 –> 00:14:00,620
So if I’m 70,
365
00:14:00,620 –> 00:14:03,860
80, I would hope we learn from our mistakes,
366
00:14:03,860 –> 00:14:07,500
which you can’t do if you don’t have clarity and transparency
367
00:14:07,700 –> 00:14:10,700
of what happened and be having that fixed by time,
368
00:14:10,700 –> 00:14:11,860
I may have to be in there.
369
00:14:11,860 –> 00:14:13,820
Well, the good news is you’re not making it to 70.
370
00:14:14,140 –> 00:14:15,020
jeez, thanks a lot.
371
00:14:15,100 –> 00:14:18,140
Yeah, I can see him at age 55 there,
372
00:14:18,380 –> 00:14:20,140
sitting on a porch at Grand Boulevard,
373
00:14:20,140 –> 00:14:20,900
shitting himself,
374
00:14:20,900 –> 00:14:22,460
and nobody’s there to change it.
375
00:14:23,180 –> 00:14:25,140
Damn, I ain’t gonna make it out of the city at 55,
376
00:14:25,340 –> 00:14:25,540
Jesus.
377
00:14:26,100 –> 00:14:26,620
But you know,
378
00:14:26,620 –> 00:14:27,420
like rough,
379
00:14:27,420 –> 00:14:28,220
and I can’t know,
380
00:14:28,220 –> 00:14:29,180
so don’t hold me to this,
381
00:14:29,180 –> 00:14:29,900
I’ll be honest.
382
00:14:30,140 –> 00:14:32,460
But by my rough guesstimate,
383
00:14:34,540 –> 00:14:37,980
The data that the state did provide in Detroit got
384
00:14:37,980 –> 00:14:38,980
hit worse than anything,
385
00:14:38,980 –> 00:14:39,900
and that makes sense.
386
00:14:40,380 –> 00:14:41,340
It’s the biggest city,
387
00:14:41,340 –> 00:14:41,620
right?
388
00:14:41,620 –> 00:14:42,660
I can tell you,
389
00:14:42,740 –> 00:14:45,180
I’ve personally been in some of the nursing facilities
390
00:14:45,180 –> 00:14:46,220
in this city.
391
00:14:46,220 –> 00:14:47,020
At one point,
392
00:14:47,060 –> 00:14:52,060
I did ambulatory service for people that needed to
393
00:14:52,060 –> 00:14:55,820
go to dialysis or doctor’s appointments in these places.
394
00:14:56,060 –> 00:14:57,020
And I’m going to be honest,
395
00:14:57,340 –> 00:15:00,140
some of the places I went into within the city limits,
396
00:15:00,940 –> 00:15:02,100
I wouldn’t have put my dog in.
397
00:15:02,740 –> 00:15:04,340
They were understaffed.
398
00:15:04,540 –> 00:15:06,300
They were crammed in,
399
00:15:06,380 –> 00:15:07,420
overcrowded.
400
00:15:07,980 –> 00:15:09,660
A dark, dimly.
401
00:15:09,660 –> 00:15:11,820
I mean, I ain’t going to name no specific ones,
402
00:15:12,060 –> 00:15:14,060
but by my true own account,
403
00:15:14,220 –> 00:15:16,740
some of those facilities was already jacked up before
404
00:15:16,740 –> 00:15:18,260
the pandemic even came along.
405
00:15:18,260 –> 00:15:20,180
What an interesting segue.
406
00:15:20,180 –> 00:15:21,980
We didn’t even discuss this program.
407
00:15:22,020 –> 00:15:22,860
Someone can fix it.
408
00:15:22,940 –> 00:15:26,460
About rundown facilities and the city turning a blind
409
00:15:26,540 –> 00:15:26,700
eye.
410
00:15:26,860 –> 00:15:30,060
Let’s go back to last night.
411
00:15:30,060 –> 00:15:30,780
We had the
412
00:15:31,300 –> 00:15:32,460
mayoral primary.
413
00:15:32,460 –> 00:15:34,300
So the top two vote getters,
414
00:15:34,620 –> 00:15:37,180
right, go to the general election in November.
415
00:15:37,420 –> 00:15:42,060
And last night it was Mary Sheffield taking 51%.
416
00:15:42,220 –> 00:15:46,300
So Mary in the primary took,
417
00:15:46,380 –> 00:15:48,700
got more votes than everybody else combined.
418
00:15:48,780 –> 00:15:49,180
Now,
419
00:15:51,300 –> 00:15:55,260
Pastor Solomon Kinloch of the Triumph Church living
420
00:15:55,260 –> 00:15:56,940
way up there at 38 Mile Road,
421
00:15:57,260 –> 00:15:59,060
or the Backpackers Hotel with his brother,
422
00:15:59,340 –> 00:15:59,900
we don’t know.
423
00:16:00,060 –> 00:16:02,820
He was close.
424
00:16:02,820 –> 00:16:05,820
He was within 10 points of Mary Sheffield,
425
00:16:06,540 –> 00:16:08,140
but I don’t think people are buying it.
426
00:16:08,140 –> 00:16:10,140
So he cashed in at 17,
427
00:16:10,380 –> 00:16:13,220
beat Sauntil Jenkins by a mere thousand votes.
428
00:16:13,220 –> 00:16:14,180
So I think
429
00:16:15,140 –> 00:16:16,860
really evident who’s going to be the mayor of this
430
00:16:16,860 –> 00:16:17,180
town.
431
00:16:17,180 –> 00:16:20,300
Yeah, it also shows I feel that a lot of Ken Luck’s
432
00:16:20,700 –> 00:16:24,660
flock and constituents in his churches don’t really
433
00:16:24,660 –> 00:16:25,500
live in Detroit.
434
00:16:25,820 –> 00:16:26,900
They go to church in Detroit.
435
00:16:26,900 –> 00:16:28,860
Well, that’s perfect because neither does he.
436
00:16:31,420 –> 00:16:33,660
They all commute to service on Sundays.
437
00:16:33,660 –> 00:16:36,460
Yeah, they get on the charter bus and go vote at their
438
00:16:36,460 –> 00:16:39,940
local polling station next to the German backpacker
439
00:16:39,940 –> 00:16:41,860
hotel near the garbage chute.
440
00:16:41,860 –> 00:16:43,500
The fuck are you fooling?
441
00:16:45,820 –> 00:16:46,260
You voted,
442
00:16:46,260 –> 00:16:46,580
didn’t you?
443
00:16:47,020 –> 00:16:47,260
Yeah.
444
00:16:47,460 –> 00:16:48,500
They say only 18%
445
00:16:48,780 –> 00:16:50,140
turned out yesterday.
446
00:16:50,740 –> 00:16:51,700
And you know.
447
00:16:51,700 –> 00:16:52,780
Do you believe that number?
448
00:16:53,140 –> 00:16:54,380
I’m always.
449
00:16:54,380 –> 00:16:56,060
Okay, Detroit’s population,
450
00:16:56,100 –> 00:16:57,260
whatever they’re doing,
451
00:16:57,260 –> 00:16:57,500
you know,
452
00:16:57,500 –> 00:16:58,780
they’re doing and playing with numbers.
453
00:16:59,420 –> 00:17:01,540
Okay, it’s 650,000.
454
00:17:01,540 –> 00:17:04,860
So there’s 450,000 adults.
455
00:17:05,500 –> 00:17:08,540
of varying degrees of citizenship.
456
00:17:08,780 –> 00:17:10,620
That’s either you are or you aren’t,
457
00:17:10,620 –> 00:17:11,020
et cetera,
458
00:17:11,020 –> 00:17:11,540
et cetera.
459
00:17:11,980 –> 00:17:14,580
And we have over 500,000 people registered to vote.
460
00:17:14,940 –> 00:17:20,180
So we got 450,000 people over the age of 18 and 500,000
461
00:17:20,180 –> 00:17:20,940
people registered to vote.
462
00:17:21,660 –> 00:17:22,420
you got to remember,
463
00:17:22,420 –> 00:17:24,580
we keep people on the roads after they die.
464
00:17:24,700 –> 00:17:27,980
So at least 50,000 of them might not even be living
465
00:17:27,980 –> 00:17:28,380
no more.
466
00:17:28,380 –> 00:17:29,580
You know what the old saying is?
467
00:17:29,580 –> 00:17:30,780
If you want to live forever,
468
00:17:30,780 –> 00:17:32,460
you register to vote in Detroit.
469
00:17:32,940 –> 00:17:33,660
But beware,
470
00:17:33,660 –> 00:17:35,900
you’ll die waiting for them to count that vote.
471
00:17:36,780 –> 00:17:37,420
That’s for real.
472
00:17:37,580 –> 00:17:38,420
So you voted?
473
00:17:38,420 –> 00:17:38,540
Yeah.
474
00:17:40,060 –> 00:17:41,420
Your candidate make the top two?
475
00:17:41,660 –> 00:17:41,940
No.
476
00:17:44,620 –> 00:17:47,100
I have no shame in saying I was really pulling for
477
00:17:47,100 –> 00:17:47,980
Ty Perkins.
478
00:17:48,660 –> 00:17:50,140
So you pulled the lever for Tapper.
479
00:17:50,140 –> 00:17:50,740
I sure did.
480
00:17:50,940 –> 00:17:52,540
So why are you disappointed here,
481
00:17:52,540 –> 00:17:52,780
man?
482
00:17:52,780 –> 00:17:53,220
Real quick.
483
00:17:53,660 –> 00:17:54,140
Real quick,
484
00:17:54,140 –> 00:17:55,020
I’m going to be honest.
485
00:17:55,020 –> 00:17:58,380
I don’t need a cult leader or a generational entitlement
486
00:17:58,380 –> 00:17:59,020
in the office.
487
00:17:59,020 –> 00:18:02,620
We need more than prayer and entitlement to fix what’s
488
00:18:02,620 –> 00:18:04,140
going on in the city of Detroit,
489
00:18:04,140 –> 00:18:05,140
in my opinion.
490
00:18:05,140 –> 00:18:05,580
Now,
491
00:18:06,140 –> 00:18:08,380
who’s to say what’s going to happen with whoever gets
492
00:18:08,380 –> 00:18:08,700
in there.
493
00:18:08,700 –> 00:18:10,620
But from what I’m seeing as a citizen here,
494
00:18:10,940 –> 00:18:13,260
I don’t see either one of these people bringing what
495
00:18:13,260 –> 00:18:15,100
Detroit really needs right now.
496
00:18:15,140 –> 00:18:19,420
And we need a smart person that knows law as well as
497
00:18:19,420 –> 00:18:23,180
business and has connections in these places of legislation.
498
00:18:24,140 –> 00:18:24,700
So
499
00:18:26,020 –> 00:18:26,980
Are you going to vote in the general?
500
00:18:26,980 –> 00:18:29,060
Are you going to hold your nose and pull the lever
501
00:18:29,060 –> 00:18:29,660
for 100?
502
00:18:29,820 –> 00:18:33,300
Well, I’m going to do my due diligence and go vote
503
00:18:33,300 –> 00:18:34,380
and write my name in.
504
00:18:34,540 –> 00:18:35,980
Comedian Detroit Red for mayor.
505
00:18:36,460 –> 00:18:37,340
I’m coming for you.
506
00:18:38,220 –> 00:18:39,140
That’ll be one vote,
507
00:18:39,140 –> 00:18:41,580
which is bigger than the crowd you pull at the nightclub.
508
00:18:41,580 –> 00:18:42,620
Hey, that’s okay.
509
00:18:42,620 –> 00:18:44,300
They still scared of COVID.
510
00:18:44,300 –> 00:18:45,260
That’s why they’re not coming out.
511
00:18:47,020 –> 00:18:48,100
Keep telling yourself that.
512
00:18:49,260 –> 00:18:49,740
Sure, that’s right.
513
00:18:50,300 –> 00:18:51,100
Well, you know,
514
00:18:51,260 –> 00:18:55,340
whoever is the mayor has
515
00:18:56,140 –> 00:18:57,700
serious troubles on the horizon.
516
00:18:57,740 –> 00:19:00,220
I’m just driving down Woodward to the show today,
517
00:19:00,620 –> 00:19:03,820
and it was a boulevard of homeless,
518
00:19:04,220 –> 00:19:06,060
hookers, and the hungry.
519
00:19:07,020 –> 00:19:09,020
The line for the food was long.
520
00:19:09,180 –> 00:19:10,940
You can’t believe it’s America,
521
00:19:11,860 –> 00:19:12,060
right?
522
00:19:12,300 –> 00:19:18,700
Then you get to the McNichols and Six Mile and Woodward
523
00:19:18,700 –> 00:19:18,940
and
524
00:19:20,980 –> 00:19:21,380
There they are,
525
00:19:21,380 –> 00:19:23,260
turned into tricks at 8 in the morning.
526
00:19:23,340 –> 00:19:24,220
Wow.
527
00:19:24,540 –> 00:19:28,700
And Duggan left the city broke.
528
00:19:28,820 –> 00:19:29,620
I’m telling you.
529
00:19:30,900 –> 00:19:32,620
There’s a reason he’s getting gone.
530
00:19:33,220 –> 00:19:35,740
What I see is whoever it is,
531
00:19:35,740 –> 00:19:38,620
coming to sit on a seat that has no foundation.
532
00:19:38,620 –> 00:19:39,660
Because with no money,
533
00:19:39,660 –> 00:19:41,100
you can’t fix no problems.
534
00:19:41,340 –> 00:19:44,220
And even if you’re going to get revenue back into the
535
00:19:44,220 –> 00:19:46,940
city, that takes negotiation and time.
536
00:19:47,100 –> 00:19:49,260
And this city really don’t have that left,
537
00:19:49,260 –> 00:19:50,100
in my opinion.
538
00:19:50,100 –> 00:19:50,860
There’s nothing left.
539
00:19:50,860 –> 00:19:51,860
The resources are gone.
540
00:19:52,740 –> 00:19:55,180
They’ve traded off majority of the things that could
541
00:19:55,180 –> 00:19:56,140
bring revenue.
542
00:19:56,140 –> 00:19:58,940
We have no political pool or play really nowhere.
543
00:19:59,100 –> 00:20:00,220
And we broke.
544
00:20:00,620 –> 00:20:03,540
It’s like me going out to the show to watch a movie
545
00:20:03,540 –> 00:20:04,700
and say, I’m going to enjoy a movie,
546
00:20:04,700 –> 00:20:06,220
but I don’t have a dime in my pocket.
547
00:20:06,860 –> 00:20:09,660
And if it wasn’t for Biden’s COVID bucks,
548
00:20:09,660 –> 00:20:10,420
if they moved around,
549
00:20:10,420 –> 00:20:11,580
there’d be no money in the pensions.
550
00:20:11,580 –> 00:20:12,140
Right now,
551
00:20:12,140 –> 00:20:13,020
we’d be in the red.
552
00:20:13,260 –> 00:20:13,740
Right now.
553
00:20:13,980 –> 00:20:14,620
So next year,
554
00:20:14,620 –> 00:20:15,700
they’re going to have to start cutting.
555
00:20:16,860 –> 00:20:17,980
Contracts are due.
556
00:20:18,300 –> 00:20:19,580
I don’t know what you do.
557
00:20:20,180 –> 00:20:21,340
I don’t know what we’re gonna do,
558
00:20:21,500 –> 00:20:22,380
but I’m, okay,
559
00:20:22,460 –> 00:20:23,740
let me give you this.
560
00:20:24,700 –> 00:20:28,540
So I’m doing my never give up tour this week,
561
00:20:28,540 –> 00:20:28,860
right?
562
00:20:28,860 –> 00:20:30,220
Okay, I’m gonna follow up here.
563
00:20:30,540 –> 00:20:31,740
That crematorium,
564
00:20:32,700 –> 00:20:35,020
I have to go see it again.
565
00:20:35,900 –> 00:20:38,860
Then the six month anniversary on the 10th of this
566
00:20:38,860 –> 00:20:39,620
month, August,
567
00:20:40,060 –> 00:20:41,340
the six month anniversary,
568
00:20:41,900 –> 00:20:44,460
remember the woman with the van?
569
00:20:45,020 –> 00:20:46,940
sleeping in the casino parking lot in the cold,
570
00:20:46,940 –> 00:20:47,700
the babies in the back,
571
00:20:47,700 –> 00:20:48,580
and two babies die.
572
00:20:48,580 –> 00:20:48,780
Yeah.
573
00:20:49,500 –> 00:20:52,100
Okay, and they’re supposed to be able to go to a women
574
00:20:52,100 –> 00:20:53,500
and children’s emergency shelter,
575
00:20:53,740 –> 00:20:54,700
but they get turned away.
576
00:20:55,660 –> 00:20:56,940
And so I went to one of those.
577
00:20:58,140 –> 00:21:00,180
We have the video of you going to it.
578
00:21:00,380 –> 00:21:02,620
Okay, this is the first time I go to it,
579
00:21:02,620 –> 00:21:03,580
and there’s no,
580
00:21:04,940 –> 00:21:05,980
it blunked.
581
00:21:06,820 –> 00:21:07,580
fire inspections,
582
00:21:07,580 –> 00:21:08,460
never passed one.
583
00:21:08,700 –> 00:21:10,420
Doesn’t have a certificate of occupancy,
584
00:21:10,420 –> 00:21:13,020
which means you can’t have a dog pound in there.
585
00:21:13,180 –> 00:21:15,740
But we got women and children in this thing.
586
00:21:15,740 –> 00:21:16,180
Go ahead.
587
00:21:16,180 –> 00:21:18,140
Uh, we’re with the news.
588
00:21:18,700 –> 00:21:21,180
This place doesn’t have a certificate of occupancy.
589
00:21:22,380 –> 00:21:22,740
Occupancy?
590
00:21:25,420 –> 00:21:26,620
Well, it ain’t displayed.
591
00:21:26,620 –> 00:21:27,740
Oh, look, the baby.
592
00:21:28,940 –> 00:21:29,660
In the window here.
593
00:21:31,100 –> 00:21:31,660
Good morning.
594
00:21:33,500 –> 00:21:34,140
You cold?
595
00:21:35,940 –> 00:21:37,180
They don’t have no more blanket for you.
596
00:21:37,180 –> 00:21:37,420
Hmm.
597
00:21:44,660 –> 00:21:45,340
On the floor.
598
00:21:46,300 –> 00:21:47,500
Well, at least it’s warm.
599
00:21:47,660 –> 00:21:48,860
There’s baby on the floor.
600
00:21:53,180 –> 00:21:57,620
So I’m looking in the foyer of this place where you
601
00:21:57,620 –> 00:22:00,980
get buzzed in and there’s a woman and child eaten
602
00:22:00,980 –> 00:22:01,500
off the floor.
603
00:22:01,500 –> 00:22:02,460
That’s what they put him to sleep.
604
00:22:02,460 –> 00:22:02,740
They said,
605
00:22:02,740 –> 00:22:04,060
This is what we’re doing.
606
00:22:05,100 –> 00:22:05,820
we’re spending,
607
00:22:05,980 –> 00:22:06,700
I looked it up,
608
00:22:08,060 –> 00:22:10,900
Duggan, with his propaganda department,
609
00:22:11,180 –> 00:22:15,660
said we were spending $200 million a year on low-income
610
00:22:16,220 –> 00:22:18,060
housing and homeless services.
611
00:22:18,380 –> 00:22:19,900
And that’s what you get.
612
00:22:21,580 –> 00:22:23,020
Yeah, that’s bullshit.
613
00:22:23,580 –> 00:22:24,460
Complete bullshit.
614
00:22:24,460 –> 00:22:25,940
I call bullshit on it.
615
00:22:27,060 –> 00:22:27,860
So what got fixed?
616
00:22:27,860 –> 00:22:29,380
So when we’re out there and like,
617
00:22:29,580 –> 00:22:32,460
you’re cutting SNAP and Medicaid and it’s like,
618
00:22:32,700 –> 00:22:34,620
if you really looked at what was really going on,
619
00:22:34,620 –> 00:22:39,580
like, I know taxpayers and I know people that rely
620
00:22:39,580 –> 00:22:42,140
on taxpayers so we can all live.
621
00:22:42,860 –> 00:22:46,820
We don’t want women and children starving or freezing
622
00:22:46,860 –> 00:22:48,300
or having to live in a van.
623
00:22:48,460 –> 00:22:49,180
We pay.
624
00:22:49,420 –> 00:22:50,620
That part we don’t bitch about.
625
00:22:50,740 –> 00:22:54,100
When we pitch about a dude being on SNAP and getting
626
00:22:54,100 –> 00:22:55,260
himself some steaks,
627
00:22:55,860 –> 00:22:56,460
You know what I mean?
628
00:22:56,700 –> 00:23:00,660
Or the fact that Medicaid expenses went up 50%
629
00:23:00,700 –> 00:23:03,260
since 2021,
630
00:23:03,260 –> 00:23:03,980
like, oh,
631
00:23:03,980 –> 00:23:05,100
we don’t need all that.
632
00:23:05,340 –> 00:23:06,220
We don’t need that.
633
00:23:06,220 –> 00:23:08,380
You know, some people got to get back to work here.
634
00:23:08,820 –> 00:23:11,100
But this is where the rubber hits the road.
635
00:23:12,306 –> 00:23:17,186
It’s actually sad because you put this show on to show
636
00:23:17,226 –> 00:23:18,386
a better Detroit,
637
00:23:18,546 –> 00:23:21,586
but anybody that looks beyond the little borders of
638
00:23:21,586 –> 00:23:25,666
downtown can see that Detroit has not become better
639
00:23:25,826 –> 00:23:26,786
as a whole.
640
00:23:27,186 –> 00:23:30,466
And when our women and children are not taken care
641
00:23:30,466 –> 00:23:31,306
of, protected,
642
00:23:31,506 –> 00:23:34,626
provided situations where they can progress and become
643
00:23:34,626 –> 00:23:36,866
back into productive members of society,
644
00:23:36,946 –> 00:23:38,386
we’re failing as a city.
645
00:23:39,106 –> 00:23:40,786
That kids is the foundation.
646
00:23:40,786 –> 00:23:42,706
Who do you think gonna be running this shit when we
647
00:23:42,706 –> 00:23:43,026
gone?
648
00:23:43,266 –> 00:23:45,826
The kids, they can’t run it if they can’t get nothing,
649
00:23:45,866 –> 00:23:47,106
if they not sustain.
650
00:23:47,586 –> 00:23:48,546
So, hey, why don’t we,
651
00:23:48,546 –> 00:23:49,346
I got an idea.
652
00:23:49,826 –> 00:23:52,386
We could take the big ass building that’s done took
653
00:23:52,386 –> 00:23:53,466
10 years to build.
654
00:23:53,746 –> 00:23:54,906
It finally has glass.
655
00:23:54,906 –> 00:23:55,306
What’s that?
656
00:23:55,306 –> 00:23:56,306
Hudson’s Tower.
657
00:23:56,306 –> 00:23:58,066
Yeah, get your Section 8 penthouse.
658
00:23:58,066 –> 00:24:00,026
No, I haven’t gotten that back here to work.
659
00:24:00,026 –> 00:24:00,586
None of that.
660
00:24:00,706 –> 00:24:01,906
So let’s just make that a,
661
00:24:02,226 –> 00:24:04,546
make a homeless shelter and Gilbert can start really
662
00:24:04,546 –> 00:24:05,066
giving us something.
663
00:24:05,066 –> 00:24:07,186
Well, they said that was going to be 80-20,
664
00:24:07,186 –> 00:24:08,146
like, you know,
665
00:24:08,146 –> 00:24:08,746
like 20%
666
00:24:09,106 –> 00:24:12,186
low income like we’re gonna move the hood into the
667
00:24:12,226 –> 00:24:15,426
new skyscraper that’s gone yeah oh of course that’s
668
00:24:15,426 –> 00:24:18,186
why the revenue in this town adjusted for inflation
669
00:24:18,186 –> 00:24:21,466
never grew yeah all them dudes with all the buildings
670
00:24:21,466 –> 00:24:24,546
that we chipped in for man they’re not paying what
671
00:24:24,546 –> 00:24:26,866
they should be paying it’s just it’s
672
00:24:27,226 –> 00:24:29,346
And they’re not producing nothing out of them.
673
00:24:29,346 –> 00:24:31,266
It is sitting there going on what now,
674
00:24:31,266 –> 00:24:32,106
nine years?
675
00:24:32,106 –> 00:24:32,786
Hey, it looks better,
676
00:24:32,786 –> 00:24:33,026
man.
677
00:24:33,026 –> 00:24:34,466
You know, and the lines are pretty good.
678
00:24:34,466 –> 00:24:37,306
Let’s buy a billboard.
679
00:24:37,306 –> 00:24:38,466
I’m America’s mayor.
680
00:24:39,026 –> 00:24:40,146
Well, that’s what I was going to say.
681
00:24:40,146 –> 00:24:43,346
The other issue is if the leaders don’t even acknowledge
682
00:24:43,346 –> 00:24:44,386
that it’s an issue,
683
00:24:44,586 –> 00:24:45,786
it’s never going to get fixed.
684
00:24:45,786 –> 00:24:47,026
I mean, it starts there.
685
00:24:47,186 –> 00:24:48,306
Let’s roll the tape.
686
00:24:48,786 –> 00:24:50,866
After Ken and I put that out,
687
00:24:51,266 –> 00:24:52,626
there’s a press conference on,
688
00:24:52,626 –> 00:24:54,306
oh, you know how we could fix it all.
689
00:24:55,106 –> 00:24:56,986
I’m not invited to the press conferences because I’ll
690
00:24:57,106 –> 00:24:57,946
probably ask real,
691
00:24:57,986 –> 00:24:59,106
I’ll ask real shit.
692
00:24:59,586 –> 00:25:02,066
But my friend Ed White from the Associated Press,
693
00:25:02,226 –> 00:25:05,266
he did six months ago and here that was.
694
00:25:05,666 –> 00:25:09,586
Charlie LaDuff had posted video outside of a women’s
695
00:25:09,626 –> 00:25:11,346
and children’s shelter,
696
00:25:11,346 –> 00:25:14,546
said it was not authorized for occupation.
697
00:25:14,546 –> 00:25:16,706
He showed a child on the floor.
698
00:25:17,186 –> 00:25:18,346
Can someone address that?
699
00:25:18,346 –> 00:25:19,266
It’s a bunch of nonsense.
700
00:25:19,546 –> 00:25:20,306
And what that is?
701
00:25:20,306 –> 00:25:21,266
It’s a bunch of nonsense.
702
00:25:21,906 –> 00:25:23,826
So that shelter is?
703
00:25:24,546 –> 00:25:25,026
Okay.
704
00:25:25,346 –> 00:25:27,106
Again, they are going through,
705
00:25:27,346 –> 00:25:28,586
they have a temporary license.
706
00:25:28,586 –> 00:25:30,226
They’re going through their permanent license.
707
00:25:30,546 –> 00:25:32,946
The zoning board just approved them.
708
00:25:33,266 –> 00:25:33,786
But anyway,
709
00:25:33,786 –> 00:25:37,746
I’m not addressing that kind of a report.
710
00:25:38,946 –> 00:25:39,266
Okay.
711
00:25:40,786 –> 00:25:41,346
Thanks, Ed.
712
00:25:42,066 –> 00:25:42,866
Wow, Woody.
713
00:25:44,546 –> 00:25:46,146
Okay, let’s just do this real quick,
714
00:25:46,146 –> 00:25:48,626
folks, just because I know you’re driving,
715
00:25:48,626 –> 00:25:50,106
but not now we’re getting into
716
00:25:51,186 –> 00:25:53,346
statewide political cycle,
717
00:25:53,506 –> 00:25:54,146
governor,
718
00:25:54,146 –> 00:25:55,666
senator, congress people,
719
00:25:55,666 –> 00:25:55,906
right?
720
00:25:55,906 –> 00:25:56,506
All right.
721
00:25:58,866 –> 00:26:00,546
In January of 2024,
722
00:26:00,546 –> 00:26:04,066
they were given a temporary license for a emergency
723
00:26:04,066 –> 00:26:05,026
warming center.
724
00:26:05,546 –> 00:26:07,026
Okay, emergency warming center.
725
00:26:07,826 –> 00:26:09,506
This week it was 81 degrees.
726
00:26:10,226 –> 00:26:11,506
So, you know,
727
00:26:12,306 –> 00:26:14,866
The license shouldn’t be applicable.
728
00:26:14,866 –> 00:26:16,106
I went to the zoning board.
729
00:26:16,106 –> 00:26:16,466
I go, hey,
730
00:26:16,546 –> 00:26:19,146
yo, y’all going to double the size of the occupancy
731
00:26:19,146 –> 00:26:19,746
of this thing,
732
00:26:19,906 –> 00:26:22,066
but it doesn’t have a certificate of occupancy.
733
00:26:22,226 –> 00:26:24,786
It hasn’t passed a fire inspection.
734
00:26:25,426 –> 00:26:25,746
Right.
735
00:26:26,146 –> 00:26:30,466
So the owner sends them a report from a private company
736
00:26:30,466 –> 00:26:31,906
looking at the sprinkler system.
737
00:26:32,146 –> 00:26:32,866
That’s fine.
738
00:26:33,186 –> 00:26:34,786
That’s not the fire marshal.
739
00:26:35,106 –> 00:26:36,146
This is so dumb.
740
00:26:36,146 –> 00:26:38,226
I couldn’t believe I’m saying it to you.
741
00:26:38,626 –> 00:26:41,026
So I went back this week.
742
00:26:42,786 –> 00:26:45,426
It’s now August of 2025.
743
00:26:47,426 –> 00:26:52,306
This, according to the buildings department,
744
00:26:53,346 –> 00:26:58,346
the shelter does not have a temporary certificate
745
00:26:58,346 –> 00:26:59,266
of compliance.
746
00:26:59,266 –> 00:27:01,186
They do not have one.
747
00:27:02,066 –> 00:27:05,266
Here’s the inspection just eight weeks ago.
748
00:27:06,626 –> 00:27:07,466
Look at the basement.
749
00:27:07,466 –> 00:27:08,786
Let me hold that up.
750
00:27:09,546 –> 00:27:09,986
Get that right.
751
00:27:09,986 –> 00:27:10,506
Would you mind?
752
00:27:10,506 –> 00:27:10,746
Thank you,
753
00:27:10,746 –> 00:27:10,946
man.
754
00:27:15,186 –> 00:27:15,986
See the basement?
755
00:27:16,146 –> 00:27:17,266
Holes in the ceiling,
756
00:27:17,666 –> 00:27:18,546
catches fire,
757
00:27:18,626 –> 00:27:20,946
fire goes up in the hole and lights the whole building
758
00:27:20,946 –> 00:27:21,506
on fire.
759
00:27:21,826 –> 00:27:22,786
See all the mold,
760
00:27:22,786 –> 00:27:23,746
see the garbage,
761
00:27:23,746 –> 00:27:24,626
see all of that?
762
00:27:25,266 –> 00:27:25,506
All right.
763
00:27:25,506 –> 00:27:27,426
Here’s the next one.
764
00:27:29,106 –> 00:27:31,826
Here’s that fire suppression system now as explained
765
00:27:31,826 –> 00:27:33,266
to me by an inspector.
766
00:27:34,626 –> 00:27:35,666
You see the gauge.
767
00:27:36,146 –> 00:27:37,506
The gauge is supposed to be in the middle.
768
00:27:37,506 –> 00:27:38,706
The gauge is at the bottom.
769
00:27:38,946 –> 00:27:40,146
It’s not pressurized.
770
00:27:40,706 –> 00:27:41,586
Didn’t pass it.
771
00:27:41,986 –> 00:27:43,266
Look at the pipes.
772
00:27:43,746 –> 00:27:44,626
Look at the leaking,
773
00:27:44,626 –> 00:27:46,066
rusting pipes.
774
00:27:46,066 –> 00:27:47,946
Look at the toilet there with the black mold in it.
775
00:27:47,986 –> 00:27:48,786
Okay.
776
00:27:50,546 –> 00:27:52,426
Look at the black mold on the ceiling in one of the
777
00:27:52,426 –> 00:27:53,106
rooms.
778
00:27:53,826 –> 00:27:54,466
Look at that.
779
00:27:54,706 –> 00:27:56,066
That’s where children sleep.
780
00:27:57,266 –> 00:27:59,146
Here’s another hole in the ceiling where fire would
781
00:27:59,146 –> 00:28:00,946
run up there and burn the whole place down.
782
00:28:02,226 –> 00:28:02,466
Okay.
783
00:28:03,746 –> 00:28:05,586
Here’s another view of the pipes and the holes in the
784
00:28:05,586 –> 00:28:06,146
ceiling.
785
00:28:06,466 –> 00:28:07,426
Here’s another one.
786
00:28:08,626 –> 00:28:09,106
Here’s
787
00:28:09,906 –> 00:28:10,706
Here’s another one,
788
00:28:10,706 –> 00:28:12,946
the shower area with the black mold in it.
789
00:28:14,226 –> 00:28:16,146
Here’s the busted toilets in the room.
790
00:28:17,026 –> 00:28:20,866
How do you go to the bathroom when you’re a baby when
791
00:28:21,266 –> 00:28:23,426
it’s covered with plastic?
792
00:28:23,826 –> 00:28:25,586
How do you wash your hands?
793
00:28:26,706 –> 00:28:27,666
Here’s another one.
794
00:28:29,626 –> 00:28:31,266
Black mold in a broken toilet.
795
00:28:31,266 –> 00:28:32,306
Here’s another one.
796
00:28:33,426 –> 00:28:34,706
Seeping pipes.
797
00:28:36,546 –> 00:28:37,586
Can’t have that.
798
00:28:39,346 –> 00:28:41,226
Here’s the broken elevator they keep saying they’re
799
00:28:41,226 –> 00:28:41,866
always fixing,
800
00:28:42,226 –> 00:28:42,546
right?
801
00:28:43,266 –> 00:28:44,466
According to the report,
802
00:28:44,866 –> 00:28:45,266
let’s see,
803
00:28:45,266 –> 00:28:47,386
this is 6-5,
804
00:28:47,386 –> 00:28:48,066
let’s go here.
805
00:28:51,026 –> 00:28:52,786
Fix these emergency violations now.
806
00:28:53,026 –> 00:28:55,266
Clean and sanitize all the walls and the ceiling.
807
00:28:56,626 –> 00:28:59,986
Secure the required annual certificate of compliance.
808
00:29:01,986 –> 00:29:03,186
Fix the elevator.
809
00:29:04,466 –> 00:29:06,986
Fix the damaged stain and foreign substances on the
810
00:29:06,986 –> 00:29:08,466
ceilings and the floors.
811
00:29:11,426 –> 00:29:15,026
Remove garbage from obstructed pathways.
812
00:29:17,346 –> 00:29:19,506
Install maintenance of plumbing fixtures.
813
00:29:21,266 –> 00:29:24,706
Submit a copy of the required fire alarm test report.
814
00:29:25,906 –> 00:29:27,226
I could go on bathtubs,
815
00:29:27,226 –> 00:29:27,986
drinking fountains,
816
00:29:27,986 –> 00:29:28,626
lavatories,
817
00:29:28,626 –> 00:29:29,506
showers, sinks,
818
00:29:29,666 –> 00:29:31,106
toilets, water clog.
819
00:29:31,226 –> 00:29:31,826
Oh, come on.
820
00:29:31,826 –> 00:29:34,306
I mean, looking at them conditions,
821
00:29:34,306 –> 00:29:35,346
to be quite honest,
822
00:29:35,346 –> 00:29:39,066
you could kind of see why a parent might not want
823
00:29:39,066 –> 00:29:41,746
to take their child in there,
824
00:29:41,746 –> 00:29:43,986
even in the worst conditions.
825
00:29:44,306 –> 00:29:46,466
It’s damn it more dangerous to be in there than it
826
00:29:46,466 –> 00:29:48,306
is just to be out here,
827
00:29:48,466 –> 00:29:49,106
unfortunately,
828
00:29:49,106 –> 00:29:50,746
not in the van situation,
829
00:29:50,746 –> 00:29:52,626
but sleeping out of your car.
830
00:29:52,866 –> 00:29:55,586
And then when you call to get into this dump,
831
00:29:55,866 –> 00:30:01,506
get turned away and hundreds of millions of federal
832
00:30:01,506 –> 00:30:03,746
dollars a year are flowing in here I just want y’all
833
00:30:03,746 –> 00:30:05,826
to know that that you got to keep track of what’s
834
00:30:05,826 –> 00:30:09,506
real forget the partisan shit right and call me whatever
835
00:30:09,506 –> 00:30:14,786
you want but so I went there check up on it because
836
00:30:14,786 –> 00:30:18,226
I care and um man there’s a lady hollering at me got
837
00:30:18,226 –> 00:30:20,946
four kids hollering at me out of the window how are
838
00:30:20,946 –> 00:30:23,506
you I’m good how was it in there
839
00:30:26,106 –> 00:30:26,386
Terrible.
840
00:30:26,866 –> 00:30:27,426
Terrible?
841
00:30:27,986 –> 00:30:28,546
Tell me how,
842
00:30:28,546 –> 00:30:30,346
because I need to get it fixed for you.
843
00:30:30,346 –> 00:30:32,226
Food, water,
844
00:30:32,626 –> 00:30:32,866
bathroom.
845
00:30:33,906 –> 00:30:37,346
There’s no certificate of occupancy hanging on the
846
00:30:37,346 –> 00:30:38,146
wall either.
847
00:30:43,746 –> 00:30:45,506
Yeah, fire inspections,
848
00:30:45,506 –> 00:30:46,106
all of that.
849
00:30:49,906 –> 00:30:50,186
Okay.
850
00:30:50,186 –> 00:30:52,346
I might have to find another place to stay after.
851
00:30:53,426 –> 00:30:54,226
We won’t do that to you.
852
00:30:54,226 –> 00:30:55,266
I’ll blur your face.
853
00:30:55,906 –> 00:30:56,946
I’ll blur your face.
854
00:30:57,826 –> 00:30:59,106
We don’t want to get you thrown out.
855
00:30:59,106 –> 00:31:00,106
Okay, pause.
856
00:31:00,466 –> 00:31:00,746
Okay.
857
00:31:01,986 –> 00:31:02,866
You throw her out,
858
00:31:03,026 –> 00:31:04,466
you’ll fight me out of your ass,
859
00:31:04,466 –> 00:31:05,186
motherfucker.
860
00:31:06,306 –> 00:31:06,786
Right?
861
00:31:06,866 –> 00:31:08,466
That is ridiculous.
862
00:31:08,626 –> 00:31:12,866
It’s deplorable to even see that this is what you think
863
00:31:12,986 –> 00:31:15,346
of our mothers and their children.
864
00:31:16,146 –> 00:31:18,386
Mothers are the foundation of civilization.
865
00:31:18,386 –> 00:31:19,266
I think so too.
866
00:31:19,826 –> 00:31:22,786
Our children are the future of the civilization that
867
00:31:22,786 –> 00:31:24,066
we’re trying to produce.
868
00:31:24,386 –> 00:31:27,866
You’re telling me you give a damn more about a Riverwalk
869
00:31:27,866 –> 00:31:28,866
Conservancy,
870
00:31:29,026 –> 00:31:33,106
some skyscrapers downtown than actual human beings
871
00:31:33,266 –> 00:31:36,226
that could grow up to potentially fix some of the
872
00:31:36,226 –> 00:31:37,346
bullshit and problems.
873
00:31:37,506 –> 00:31:40,306
And as a man sitting here watching that,
874
00:31:40,546 –> 00:31:44,146
I am very disgusted at the fact that you have basically
875
00:31:44,146 –> 00:31:48,386
just turned a blind eye to this group of individuals
876
00:31:48,466 –> 00:31:49,706
who are the most vulnerable
877
00:31:49,786 –> 00:31:52,226
vulnerable in our society.
878
00:31:53,346 –> 00:31:54,866
So, Mary Sheffield,
879
00:31:54,866 –> 00:31:55,906
Solomon Kinlock,
880
00:31:55,906 –> 00:32:01,826
this is why the people are angry when we held a mayor’s
881
00:32:01,826 –> 00:32:02,306
forum.
882
00:32:02,706 –> 00:32:05,226
This is why people were worked up,
883
00:32:05,546 –> 00:32:06,906
because this is what people have.
884
00:32:07,026 –> 00:32:07,746
There’s enough,
885
00:32:08,226 –> 00:32:09,106
well, there’s not enough,
886
00:32:09,106 –> 00:32:11,946
but there could be a more equitable share about what
887
00:32:11,946 –> 00:32:12,346
we’re doing.
888
00:32:12,346 –> 00:32:13,826
And if you just look,
889
00:32:13,986 –> 00:32:14,946
arse nonsense,
890
00:32:14,946 –> 00:32:15,826
go fuck yourself,
891
00:32:15,826 –> 00:32:16,146
dude.
892
00:32:16,826 –> 00:32:17,866
Go fuck yourself.
893
00:32:17,986 –> 00:32:18,946
There’s no way.
894
00:32:19,666 –> 00:32:21,906
I will be all on that governor’s race.
895
00:32:22,146 –> 00:32:22,786
No way.
896
00:32:23,186 –> 00:32:23,346
Yeah.
897
00:32:23,866 –> 00:32:25,346
And is he still running?
898
00:32:25,866 –> 00:32:25,986
Yeah.
899
00:32:26,626 –> 00:32:27,586
I don’t know why.
900
00:32:28,146 –> 00:32:31,306
There was a speculation that Benson’s running such
901
00:32:31,306 –> 00:32:33,506
a bad campaign that the Democrats would take Duggan
902
00:32:33,506 –> 00:32:34,546
back to win.
903
00:32:34,626 –> 00:32:34,786
No.
904
00:32:34,786 –> 00:32:37,666
No, I talked to some players.
905
00:32:37,906 –> 00:32:39,026
Maybe we’ll get him on the program.
906
00:32:39,186 –> 00:32:40,226
No way.
907
00:32:40,866 –> 00:32:42,226
They got a hard on for him now,
908
00:32:42,226 –> 00:32:42,946
man.
909
00:32:42,946 –> 00:32:44,586
Yeah, he’s done too much.
910
00:32:45,226 –> 00:32:49,186
is a step too far and what he really hasn’t produced.
911
00:32:49,346 –> 00:32:52,226
And he’s lied about majority of the things he’s produced.
912
00:32:52,386 –> 00:32:55,066
Nobody’s benefited from Duggan for real being in office
913
00:32:55,066 –> 00:32:56,146
the last nine years,
914
00:32:56,386 –> 00:32:58,066
but him and his buddies.
915
00:32:58,146 –> 00:33:01,226
We got to admit the place looks better downtown.
916
00:33:01,426 –> 00:33:02,066
It looks better,
917
00:33:02,066 –> 00:33:02,786
but again,
918
00:33:03,026 –> 00:33:05,426
it’s drywall and tax because there ain’t nobody in
919
00:33:05,426 –> 00:33:05,666
there.
920
00:33:05,746 –> 00:33:05,946
No.
921
00:33:06,466 –> 00:33:06,746
Right?
922
00:33:07,026 –> 00:33:07,426
kid?
923
00:33:07,666 –> 00:33:08,546
We were driving down.
924
00:33:08,546 –> 00:33:08,826
We’re like,
925
00:33:08,826 –> 00:33:10,026
let’s look at the commercial strip.
926
00:33:10,226 –> 00:33:10,746
Holy shit,
927
00:33:10,746 –> 00:33:11,346
it’s empty.
928
00:33:13,346 –> 00:33:14,226
Cheap loans,
929
00:33:14,226 –> 00:33:15,226
tax abatements,
930
00:33:15,226 –> 00:33:17,746
and restaurants are closing down.
931
00:33:17,746 –> 00:33:19,026
Everybody knows what time it is.
932
00:33:19,026 –> 00:33:20,226
Oh yeah, look here.
933
00:33:20,226 –> 00:33:22,186
All you got to do is see that food line that me and
934
00:33:22,186 –> 00:33:23,186
my daughter saw it today.
935
00:33:23,186 –> 00:33:23,506
You’re like,
936
00:33:23,666 –> 00:33:26,546
whoa, I’ve never seen a food line on Woodward.
937
00:33:26,866 –> 00:33:27,266
I have.
938
00:33:27,906 –> 00:33:28,826
That’s not true.
939
00:33:28,826 –> 00:33:30,146
Yeah, it is.
940
00:33:30,866 –> 00:33:31,906
A lot of people don’t know,
941
00:33:31,906 –> 00:33:34,266
yes, our downtown looks beautiful,
942
00:33:34,266 –> 00:33:35,666
because I get this all the time.
943
00:33:35,746 –> 00:33:38,706
It has come back as far as what it looks like,
944
00:33:38,706 –> 00:33:40,826
but I’m down here five days out of the week,
945
00:33:41,146 –> 00:33:43,826
and it is nothing like it looks.
946
00:33:44,066 –> 00:33:46,946
There’s not a populace of people walking around on
947
00:33:46,986 –> 00:33:48,706
a Monday through Friday basis.
948
00:33:48,866 –> 00:33:49,986
It’s not busy.
949
00:33:50,066 –> 00:33:51,546
It’s not shoulder dish.
950
00:33:51,746 –> 00:33:53,866
Shit, there was more people down here when downtown
951
00:33:53,866 –> 00:33:54,466
was raggedy.
952
00:33:55,146 –> 00:33:55,666
That’s true.
953
00:33:56,106 –> 00:33:57,106
And how about your neighborhood?
954
00:33:57,906 –> 00:33:59,506
My neighborhood ain’t really no better,
955
00:33:59,506 –> 00:34:00,546
even though they try,
956
00:34:00,786 –> 00:34:01,906
they do some things,
957
00:34:02,066 –> 00:34:05,026
but the little band-aids don’t fix the major cuts.
958
00:34:05,026 –> 00:34:06,066
It just doesn’t.
959
00:34:06,226 –> 00:34:10,946
We are so behind the eight ball in this city with the
960
00:34:10,946 –> 00:34:14,226
neighborhoods that that may take another 20 years
961
00:34:14,226 –> 00:34:16,306
to get them anywhere near to look like what they done
962
00:34:16,306 –> 00:34:18,226
made downtown look like in 10.
963
00:34:18,226 –> 00:34:21,346
And the only way they were able to do that is somebody,
964
00:34:21,906 –> 00:34:23,586
not going to say nobody’s name,
965
00:34:23,906 –> 00:34:25,186
gave away a lot.
966
00:34:26,746 –> 00:34:29,186
Okay, so there’s that.
967
00:34:30,146 –> 00:34:31,026
Not forgetting you.
968
00:34:32,786 –> 00:34:34,866
Let’s hear a word from XG Service Group,
969
00:34:34,866 –> 00:34:35,546
and then we’ll come back.
970
00:34:35,546 –> 00:34:37,106
We’ll do a little national news.
971
00:34:37,186 –> 00:34:41,186
We do news nationally if it affects you,
972
00:34:41,666 –> 00:34:42,066
right?
973
00:34:42,066 –> 00:34:43,746
So let’s get to a little national news.
974
00:34:44,226 –> 00:34:44,746
Well, you know,
975
00:34:44,746 –> 00:34:45,346
when it rains,
976
00:34:45,346 –> 00:34:46,226
the power goes out,
977
00:34:46,226 –> 00:34:47,506
and when the power goes out,
978
00:34:47,506 –> 00:34:48,426
the internet goes out.
979
00:34:48,426 –> 00:34:49,466
When the internet goes out,
980
00:34:49,606 –> 00:34:52,766
I call my friend Matt and Bernie at XG Service Group.
981
00:34:52,926 –> 00:34:54,766
Look at Bernie here on his hands and knees,
982
00:34:54,926 –> 00:34:56,286
giving it everything he’s got.
983
00:34:56,846 –> 00:34:58,046
Look at that man crack.
984
00:34:58,366 –> 00:34:59,246
So busy.
985
00:34:59,886 –> 00:35:00,926
He forgot to wear a belt.
986
00:35:00,926 –> 00:35:03,006
There’s Matt right there getting the board together.
987
00:35:03,006 –> 00:35:05,726
That’s 734-245-4100.
988
00:35:05,726 –> 00:35:08,566
If you need Matt and Bernie to come take care of your
989
00:35:08,566 –> 00:35:09,566
voice over internet,
990
00:35:09,726 –> 00:35:10,926
your security cameras,
991
00:35:11,086 –> 00:35:12,686
off-campus access control,
992
00:35:13,006 –> 00:35:15,326
Wi-Fi and cameras for homes and business,
993
00:35:15,326 –> 00:35:16,446
they’ll design it for you.
994
00:35:16,726 –> 00:35:17,526
You got restaurants,
995
00:35:17,526 –> 00:35:18,726
they do drive-thru systems,
996
00:35:18,726 –> 00:35:20,446
railroad cameras for public safety.
997
00:35:20,686 –> 00:35:23,966
Total wireless camera systems for your home and business.
998
00:35:24,206 –> 00:35:24,686
Yeah, that’s right.
999
00:35:24,686 –> 00:35:28,366
Call XG Services at 734-245-4100.
1000
00:35:30,566 –> 00:35:33,886
What’s national in the news?
1001
00:35:36,686 –> 00:35:38,846
Do you want the sounder?
1002
00:35:38,846 –> 00:35:39,246
Yeah.
1003
00:35:42,206 –> 00:35:46,446
The No BS News Hour presents National News.
1004
00:35:53,806 –> 00:35:54,846
Well, you know.
1005
00:35:56,446 –> 00:35:59,006
All the Democrats in the Texas legislature ran away
1006
00:35:59,006 –> 00:36:01,406
because the Republicans who now have the majority,
1007
00:36:01,406 –> 00:36:04,046
well, they have for forever,
1008
00:36:04,686 –> 00:36:08,206
want to redistrict the congressional seats to more
1009
00:36:08,206 –> 00:36:11,246
reflect the voting populace of Texas.
1010
00:36:11,646 –> 00:36:16,446
And that’s the constitutional requirement of any legislative
1011
00:36:16,446 –> 00:36:17,566
body, state,
1012
00:36:17,566 –> 00:36:18,446
or federally,
1013
00:36:18,526 –> 00:36:20,926
that you will draw voting lines,
1014
00:36:21,166 –> 00:36:21,486
right?
1015
00:36:22,046 –> 00:36:23,886
So now the Democrats
1016
00:36:24,726 –> 00:36:28,206
are running away to preserve democracy by not fulfilling
1017
00:36:28,686 –> 00:36:30,046
their democratic duty.
1018
00:36:31,166 –> 00:36:31,766
I said duty.
1019
00:36:31,766 –> 00:36:33,446
Did you notice that?
1020
00:36:33,446 –> 00:36:35,566
It’s duty and it is.
1021
00:36:35,646 –> 00:36:36,086
You notice that?
1022
00:36:37,006 –> 00:36:38,966
Okay, so what’s this got to do with…
1023
00:36:41,286 –> 00:36:42,846
What’s this got to do with Michigan?
1024
00:36:43,486 –> 00:36:44,926
We had the same problem here.
1025
00:36:44,926 –> 00:36:46,526
Illinois has the same problem.
1026
00:36:46,526 –> 00:36:47,326
California,
1027
00:36:47,326 –> 00:36:47,966
New York,
1028
00:36:48,126 –> 00:36:49,326
it’s everywhere,
1029
00:36:49,486 –> 00:36:49,806
right?
1030
00:36:50,086 –> 00:36:51,566
Those are like Illinois,
1031
00:36:51,566 –> 00:36:52,006
New York,
1032
00:36:52,006 –> 00:36:55,886
California are locked down Democratic states where
1033
00:36:56,766 –> 00:36:59,566
the populace votes anywhere from 40 to 45 percent
1034
00:36:59,566 –> 00:37:00,126
Republican.
1035
00:37:00,326 –> 00:37:03,006
And yet there aren’t 40 to 45 percent Republican seats
1036
00:37:03,006 –> 00:37:03,606
in these states.
1037
00:37:03,966 –> 00:37:05,326
They all do this bullshit.
1038
00:37:05,886 –> 00:37:09,046
Okay, so how does this affect Detroit and the suburbs
1039
00:37:09,046 –> 00:37:09,646
and Michigan?
1040
00:37:09,726 –> 00:37:10,446
I’ll tell you how.
1041
00:37:12,366 –> 00:37:18,046
We had something called the Michigan Independent Citizens
1042
00:37:18,286 –> 00:37:20,526
Redistricting Commission or something like that.
1043
00:37:21,486 –> 00:37:22,446
We voted it in.
1044
00:37:22,446 –> 00:37:25,806
We took the power out from the political parties,
1045
00:37:25,806 –> 00:37:29,246
and we will have an independent board decide for us.
1046
00:37:29,406 –> 00:37:31,326
So ostensibly,
1047
00:37:31,486 –> 00:37:34,526
this board had five Republicans,
1048
00:37:35,086 –> 00:37:37,966
Five Democrats and five independents.
1049
00:37:37,966 –> 00:37:40,126
But if you go online and you look at the commissioner
1050
00:37:40,446 –> 00:37:42,246
who’s a political independent,
1051
00:37:42,846 –> 00:37:45,446
why don’t you have a pink streak through the front
1052
00:37:45,446 –> 00:37:45,966
of her hair?
1053
00:37:46,446 –> 00:37:48,366
You know what that says to me.
1054
00:37:48,686 –> 00:37:50,686
So these aren’t really independents.
1055
00:37:50,766 –> 00:37:52,566
These are people hiding,
1056
00:37:52,766 –> 00:37:54,286
operatives hiding in the bushes.
1057
00:37:54,606 –> 00:37:55,806
Okay, that’s what’s going on.
1058
00:37:56,286 –> 00:38:00,246
So they decide they’re going to redraw it.
1059
00:38:00,686 –> 00:38:02,366
It’s going to be on the up and up.
1060
00:38:03,326 –> 00:38:04,526
And I got a map up here,
1061
00:38:04,526 –> 00:38:05,486
ladies and gentlemen.
1062
00:38:07,646 –> 00:38:10,366
That’s how Metro Detroit’s,
1063
00:38:14,366 –> 00:38:15,246
what was this one?
1064
00:38:15,726 –> 00:38:16,206
The House,
1065
00:38:16,206 –> 00:38:18,126
that’s the House and Senate.
1066
00:38:18,686 –> 00:38:19,966
So if you look at it,
1067
00:38:20,606 –> 00:38:22,766
It’s it’s not coherent by geography.
1068
00:38:22,766 –> 00:38:24,646
You see Eight Mile Road going through the top there,
1069
00:38:24,646 –> 00:38:24,926
right?
1070
00:38:25,166 –> 00:38:25,326
Yeah.
1071
00:38:25,486 –> 00:38:25,886
Okay.
1072
00:38:26,126 –> 00:38:27,126
Now, now look at like,
1073
00:38:27,126 –> 00:38:27,966
say, the eighth,
1074
00:38:28,126 –> 00:38:28,926
like where I live.
1075
00:38:29,166 –> 00:38:32,766
The eighth goes from fucking Bloomfield,
1076
00:38:33,006 –> 00:38:34,126
Birmingham,
1077
00:38:35,486 –> 00:38:36,686
Beverly Hills,
1078
00:38:37,006 –> 00:38:38,126
Huntington Woods,
1079
00:38:38,526 –> 00:38:39,726
Pleasant Ridge,
1080
00:38:40,766 –> 00:38:41,806
Burndale,
1081
00:38:42,686 –> 00:38:46,526
Detroit, all the way down to where you live at Davidson.
1082
00:38:47,806 –> 00:38:48,526
and Livernois.
1083
00:38:48,686 –> 00:38:52,046
So I can definitely say that part of Detroit don’t
1084
00:38:52,046 –> 00:38:53,566
look shit like Birmingham,
1085
00:38:54,366 –> 00:38:55,166
Bloomfield,
1086
00:38:55,166 –> 00:38:57,406
the schematics is totally the money,
1087
00:38:57,646 –> 00:38:59,926
the populace is totally different.
1088
00:38:59,926 –> 00:39:01,326
I don’t see how they did that.
1089
00:39:01,326 –> 00:39:02,046
So that’s,
1090
00:39:02,526 –> 00:39:03,766
those are Democratic seats.
1091
00:39:03,766 –> 00:39:04,926
So you see what they did,
1092
00:39:04,926 –> 00:39:09,166
what they said about Detroiters who vote normally
1093
00:39:09,486 –> 00:39:09,726
about 95%
1094
00:39:09,726 –> 00:39:10,526
Democratic,
1095
00:39:10,686 –> 00:39:11,086
right?
1096
00:39:11,646 –> 00:39:13,326
They call them wasted votes.
1097
00:39:13,886 –> 00:39:15,086
Wasted votes.
1098
00:39:15,646 –> 00:39:17,326
Because there’s so many votes there,
1099
00:39:17,566 –> 00:39:18,766
they’re just being wasted.
1100
00:39:19,406 –> 00:39:22,526
Black votes being wasted on black representation.
1101
00:39:22,926 –> 00:39:26,766
Like we can mix those with white districts,
1102
00:39:26,766 –> 00:39:27,086
right?
1103
00:39:27,086 –> 00:39:30,766
So it’ll be minority black that used,
1104
00:39:30,766 –> 00:39:31,006
you know,
1105
00:39:31,006 –> 00:39:32,846
sections that used to be majority black.
1106
00:39:33,126 –> 00:39:35,966
And they’ll stretch it all the way to Bloomfield so
1107
00:39:35,966 –> 00:39:39,726
all the white women and the Democrats can get elected
1108
00:39:39,726 –> 00:39:41,806
because Oakland County’s purple,
1109
00:39:42,206 –> 00:39:42,526
right?
1110
00:39:42,606 –> 00:39:44,766
So they’re really looking to lock themselves in.
1111
00:39:45,406 –> 00:39:47,286
But they disenfranchised black people,
1112
00:39:47,286 –> 00:39:48,006
black represent.
1113
00:39:48,046 –> 00:39:52,046
There’s no black congressperson from Detroit anymore.
1114
00:39:52,686 –> 00:39:53,806
So they got sued.
1115
00:39:54,046 –> 00:39:56,326
This group of redistricters,
1116
00:39:56,326 –> 00:39:59,726
gerrymanderers got sued under the Voting Rights Act.
1117
00:40:00,286 –> 00:40:01,446
You can’t do that.
1118
00:40:01,566 –> 00:40:04,606
You can’t take a majority black district and make it
1119
00:40:04,606 –> 00:40:06,806
a minority district.
1120
00:40:07,086 –> 00:40:10,286
And they lost and they got to redraw it.
1121
00:40:10,286 –> 00:40:13,326
So the House seat districts have been redrawn.
1122
00:40:13,726 –> 00:40:14,686
I do believe
1123
00:40:15,086 –> 00:40:16,926
The Senate seats have finally been redrawn.
1124
00:40:17,086 –> 00:40:19,326
So when you’re looking at like my state senator,
1125
00:40:20,286 –> 00:40:22,046
Manhattan Mallory McMurder,
1126
00:40:22,206 –> 00:40:23,486
it’s an illegitimate,
1127
00:40:24,286 –> 00:40:28,046
racist, unconstitutional seat that you’re holding.
1128
00:40:28,206 –> 00:40:29,846
This is what happened.
1129
00:40:29,846 –> 00:40:31,566
We don’t know anything about that.
1130
00:40:32,206 –> 00:40:34,046
So spare me the lecture.
1131
00:40:34,366 –> 00:40:36,726
Spare me the theatrics of running away on the public
1132
00:40:36,726 –> 00:40:38,926
dime, flying in a private jet,
1133
00:40:39,086 –> 00:40:40,446
staying at a five-star,
1134
00:40:40,606 –> 00:40:43,806
having fucking cocktails and zooming on CNN.
1135
00:40:44,206 –> 00:40:45,806
This is the real fucking world.
1136
00:40:46,206 –> 00:40:46,366
Yeah.
1137
00:40:47,166 –> 00:40:47,726
You know what I mean?
1138
00:40:47,886 –> 00:40:51,166
Yeah, and it’s sad that you would actually try to take
1139
00:40:51,166 –> 00:40:52,086
away some folks’
1140
00:40:52,086 –> 00:40:55,166
representation and then turn around and act like they
1141
00:40:55,166 –> 00:40:55,486
don’t vote.
1142
00:40:55,486 –> 00:40:56,686
Well, look at that map again,
1143
00:40:56,686 –> 00:40:56,926
too.
1144
00:40:57,086 –> 00:41:00,166
It stretches into really rich areas to control the
1145
00:41:00,206 –> 00:41:01,086
poorer areas,
1146
00:41:01,086 –> 00:41:01,966
too, because it happened.
1147
00:41:02,126 –> 00:41:02,686
Look at Sri.
1148
00:41:02,686 –> 00:41:05,166
Look at Sri Thanedar and his whole district.
1149
00:41:05,566 –> 00:41:06,886
You know, it’s a Grosse Pointe district.
1150
00:41:06,886 –> 00:41:07,926
It’s not a Detroit district.
1151
00:41:08,646 –> 00:41:09,646
That’s what I want to see.
1152
00:41:09,646 –> 00:41:10,966
Once they redraw this,
1153
00:41:11,006 –> 00:41:13,406
how many more of these politicians are we going to
1154
00:41:13,406 –> 00:41:14,086
see move
1155
00:41:14,166 –> 00:41:15,086
move again.
1156
00:41:15,246 –> 00:41:16,206
Let’s not forget,
1157
00:41:16,806 –> 00:41:18,766
when they did the redrawing,
1158
00:41:19,006 –> 00:41:21,646
we covered it here at NBN.
1159
00:41:21,886 –> 00:41:24,846
All these politicians got to moving around.
1160
00:41:25,006 –> 00:41:28,326
Sri Tanadar moved from the west side over to the east
1161
00:41:28,566 –> 00:41:28,686
side.
1162
00:41:28,846 –> 00:41:30,966
It was a couple more in there to leave.
1163
00:41:30,966 –> 00:41:32,686
All these folks moved
1164
00:41:33,006 –> 00:41:36,766
just to be where they wanted to win and knew they were
1165
00:41:36,766 –> 00:41:37,166
going to win.
1166
00:41:37,166 –> 00:41:38,446
It’s like a monopoly game.
1167
00:41:38,526 –> 00:41:39,486
The point being,
1168
00:41:39,486 –> 00:41:41,326
it’s never real representation.
1169
00:41:41,406 –> 00:41:41,686
Right.
1170
00:41:41,686 –> 00:41:42,526
It’s not.
1171
00:41:42,766 –> 00:41:43,406
Now, hey, Ken,
1172
00:41:43,406 –> 00:41:46,806
how many senators are in the state legislature?
1173
00:41:46,806 –> 00:41:47,646
38?
1174
00:41:48,846 –> 00:41:49,806
Okay, so I,
1175
00:41:51,166 –> 00:41:52,046
I’m not a nerd,
1176
00:41:52,046 –> 00:41:52,526
you know what I mean?
1177
00:41:52,526 –> 00:41:52,806
I’m not a,
1178
00:41:53,246 –> 00:41:55,006
like a Lansing political nerd.
1179
00:41:55,086 –> 00:41:55,486
Kind of.
1180
00:41:55,646 –> 00:42:02,206
But I believe there are two
1181
00:42:03,726 –> 00:42:09,086
Two senators in the state legislature from Detroit.
1182
00:42:11,406 –> 00:42:12,126
One is Asian,
1183
00:42:12,126 –> 00:42:13,086
one is black.
1184
00:42:13,646 –> 00:42:15,566
Okay, Detroit’s population,
1185
00:42:15,886 –> 00:42:18,086
650,000.
1186
00:42:18,766 –> 00:42:21,966
The state is 10 million.
1187
00:42:21,966 –> 00:42:24,526
So it’s at least like one out of every 20.
1188
00:42:24,926 –> 00:42:25,726
I guess that’s
1189
00:42:26,286 –> 00:42:29,286
fair representation for Detroit you got I’m gonna be
1190
00:42:29,286 –> 00:42:32,846
honest I’ve never seen an Asian live in Detroit do
1191
00:42:32,846 –> 00:42:36,526
business in Detroit yes but I’ve never seen an Asian
1192
00:42:36,526 –> 00:42:42,286
family east to west living in Detroit well 50 you
1193
00:42:42,286 –> 00:42:46,286
know Arabs would be considered Asia that’s part of
1194
00:42:46,286 –> 00:42:48,286
Asia isn’t it
1195
00:42:51,726 –> 00:42:56,126
Geographically it is.
1196
00:42:57,406 –> 00:42:59,646
What about Indians and Pakistanis?
1197
00:42:59,686 –> 00:43:05,006
Again, I have never seen Binsul Lao and his family
1198
00:43:05,006 –> 00:43:06,606
living in Detroit.
1199
00:43:06,646 –> 00:43:07,286
I’m sorry.
1200
00:43:07,286 –> 00:43:08,606
I don’t even know who Binsul Lao is.
1201
00:43:08,606 –> 00:43:09,086
I made that up.
1202
00:43:09,326 –> 00:43:10,486
But I’m just saying,
1203
00:43:10,766 –> 00:43:11,646
I have never,
1204
00:43:11,806 –> 00:43:14,846
ever seen an Asian family
1205
00:43:15,246 –> 00:43:18,206
or region or district in Detroit.
1206
00:43:18,206 –> 00:43:20,326
So who is the Asian guy up there representing?
1207
00:43:20,366 –> 00:43:21,166
Ben Sulal.
1208
00:43:23,086 –> 00:43:24,126
Benny so long is…
1209
00:43:24,126 –> 00:43:27,046
That’s his angle can make.
1210
00:43:27,166 –> 00:43:27,486
All right,
1211
00:43:27,486 –> 00:43:29,406
so that’s the way it goes.
1212
00:43:29,726 –> 00:43:32,646
Come on, let’s move forward and get some shit fixed.
1213
00:43:32,646 –> 00:43:34,846
Now, the Russia hoax.
1214
00:43:36,126 –> 00:43:38,366
We have to address the Russia hoax because this has
1215
00:43:38,366 –> 00:43:40,926
just got to be meaningful to everybody.
1216
00:43:41,086 –> 00:43:41,966
Stop
1217
00:43:42,686 –> 00:43:44,766
with the bullshit like this has been,
1218
00:43:44,766 –> 00:43:46,046
it hasn’t been adjudicated.
1219
00:43:46,286 –> 00:43:49,206
Well, the Republicans under Marco Rubio looked into
1220
00:43:49,206 –> 00:43:50,766
that and found that yes,
1221
00:43:50,766 –> 00:43:52,286
there was Russian collusion.
1222
00:43:52,526 –> 00:43:53,406
You want to know why?
1223
00:43:53,886 –> 00:43:56,926
Because Marco Rubio and the House Intelligence Committee
1224
00:43:57,086 –> 00:43:58,286
was lied to.
1225
00:43:58,926 –> 00:44:03,086
Stuff was left out and it’s coming out now.
1226
00:44:03,686 –> 00:44:04,926
Remember the Durham report?
1227
00:44:05,886 –> 00:44:07,646
Well, there was the annex,
1228
00:44:07,646 –> 00:44:10,766
the classified annex that somehow there’s no record
1229
00:44:10,766 –> 00:44:11,086
of it.
1230
00:44:11,566 –> 00:44:14,766
but they found it in a locked room in a burn bag.
1231
00:44:15,246 –> 00:44:17,246
We’re gonna burn this motherfucker.
1232
00:44:18,046 –> 00:44:20,166
Why does the Russian hoax matter?
1233
00:44:20,166 –> 00:44:21,326
Well, I’m gonna get to,
1234
00:44:22,766 –> 00:44:23,806
I’m gonna get to January.
1235
00:44:23,806 –> 00:44:25,566
There were two January 6th,
1236
00:44:25,726 –> 00:44:26,126
okay?
1237
00:44:26,126 –> 00:44:28,846
And let’s stop fooling ourselves as to what happened.
1238
00:44:29,086 –> 00:44:32,366
This goes to the core of what America is,
1239
00:44:33,006 –> 00:44:34,206
how we’re represented,
1240
00:44:34,926 –> 00:44:37,126
that we the people are in charge of the government,
1241
00:44:37,126 –> 00:44:40,126
not the government fucking hoodwinking us and manipulating
1242
00:44:40,246 –> 00:44:40,446
us.
1243
00:44:40,766 –> 00:44:41,166
Right.
1244
00:44:41,486 –> 00:44:41,646
Okay.
1245
00:44:41,806 –> 00:44:46,846
So in 2016,
1246
00:44:47,726 –> 00:44:53,886
the intelligence community intercepted Russian intelligence
1247
00:44:54,446 –> 00:44:55,446
to Vladimir Putin,
1248
00:44:55,446 –> 00:44:56,286
just like we,
1249
00:44:56,366 –> 00:44:56,526
you know,
1250
00:44:56,526 –> 00:44:59,886
our president gets the presidential daily briefing.
1251
00:45:01,726 –> 00:45:03,006
Putin also gets one.
1252
00:45:03,006 –> 00:45:03,486
Okay.
1253
00:45:03,486 –> 00:45:07,406
So the FBI intercepted Judith Soros Foundation
1254
00:45:08,206 –> 00:45:11,966
memoranda that Clinton was planning a Russian smear,
1255
00:45:12,606 –> 00:45:13,886
a fake Russian job,
1256
00:45:14,046 –> 00:45:16,206
to deflect from her e-mail scandal.
1257
00:45:17,126 –> 00:45:18,766
And she destroyed a bunch of emails.
1258
00:45:19,686 –> 00:45:21,166
I won’t get into what I think those are.
1259
00:45:23,486 –> 00:45:26,606
It’s important to say that the Federal Election Commission,
1260
00:45:27,566 –> 00:45:28,846
the Clinton campaign themselves,
1261
00:45:28,846 –> 00:45:34,366
the DNC, admitted that they paid for the fake Steele
1262
00:45:34,366 –> 00:45:35,246
dossier, right?
1263
00:45:35,246 –> 00:45:37,646
The former British intelligence agent that
1264
00:45:38,446 –> 00:45:40,446
through intermediaries,
1265
00:45:40,926 –> 00:45:41,646
put this like,
1266
00:45:43,166 –> 00:45:46,366
Russian hookers are pissing on Trump in the penthouse
1267
00:45:46,406 –> 00:45:48,406
of a Moscow hotel and shit.
1268
00:45:48,406 –> 00:45:49,366
I still believe that one.
1269
00:45:49,646 –> 00:45:50,606
But it was made-up.
1270
00:45:50,846 –> 00:45:51,206
Right.
1271
00:45:51,246 –> 00:45:52,446
It was totally debunked.
1272
00:45:52,926 –> 00:45:56,606
The FBI, according to the Durham report,
1273
00:45:57,486 –> 00:45:59,166
right, the special prosecutor looking into it,
1274
00:46:00,686 –> 00:46:03,806
one side of the FBI knew it was hers because the president
1275
00:46:03,806 –> 00:46:04,686
was briefed on it.
1276
00:46:06,246 –> 00:46:08,806
When they were investigating the Trump campaign and
1277
00:46:08,806 –> 00:46:09,886
got their warrants,
1278
00:46:10,446 –> 00:46:13,086
the other side of the FBI wasn’t told that it was
1279
00:46:13,086 –> 00:46:13,646
Clinton’s.
1280
00:46:13,646 –> 00:46:14,606
You follow me so far,
1281
00:46:14,606 –> 00:46:14,846
Mark?
1282
00:46:15,126 –> 00:46:16,366
Because I know you guys discuss it.
1283
00:46:16,526 –> 00:46:18,606
So one side of the FBI knows it came from Clinton.
1284
00:46:18,766 –> 00:46:21,166
The other side was never told the ones investigating.
1285
00:46:22,926 –> 00:46:24,046
The FBI
1286
00:46:28,323 –> 00:46:29,283
I’m going to find it here.
1287
00:46:29,443 –> 00:46:33,843
The FBI later says in this classified dossier that
1288
00:46:33,843 –> 00:46:38,003
they thought the intercepts were Russian disinformation,
1289
00:46:38,003 –> 00:46:40,003
but the CIA did not.
1290
00:46:40,803 –> 00:46:43,363
Okay, so let me see here.
1291
00:46:44,323 –> 00:46:46,723
Page 22 and 23 of this annex.
1292
00:46:53,523 –> 00:46:53,843
Yes.
1293
00:46:54,803 –> 00:46:58,243
In short, neither the office nor the redacted have
1294
00:46:58,243 –> 00:47:01,283
been able to determine definitively the purported
1295
00:47:01,683 –> 00:47:05,283
Clinton campaign plan if it was entirely genuine,
1296
00:47:05,843 –> 00:47:06,883
partially true,
1297
00:47:07,363 –> 00:47:09,763
a composite pulled from multiple sources,
1298
00:47:10,003 –> 00:47:12,003
exaggerated in certain respects,
1299
00:47:12,163 –> 00:47:14,883
or fabricated in its entirety by the Russians.
1300
00:47:15,603 –> 00:47:16,243
Nonetheless,
1301
00:47:16,243 –> 00:47:19,603
the late July 2016 Sensitive Intelligence,
1302
00:47:19,803 –> 00:47:23,083
which a senior intelligence official with significant
1303
00:47:23,083 –> 00:47:25,843
and detailed knowledge of the intelligence collection,
1304
00:47:26,083 –> 00:47:29,443
described it as really concerning and immediately
1305
00:47:29,443 –> 00:47:32,563
made its way to the CIA headquarters.
1306
00:47:32,723 –> 00:47:35,203
So let me find the last bit here.
1307
00:47:39,443 –> 00:47:42,883
Thus, the record reflects that the FBI was fully alerted
1308
00:47:42,883 –> 00:47:46,323
to the possibility that at least some of the information
1309
00:47:46,563 –> 00:47:49,283
it was receiving about the Trump campaign might have
1310
00:47:49,283 –> 00:47:52,123
its origins either with the Clinton campaign or its
1311
00:47:52,123 –> 00:47:52,723
supporters,
1312
00:47:52,963 –> 00:47:54,323
or, alternatively,
1313
00:47:54,483 –> 00:47:56,563
was the product of Russian disinformation.
1314
00:47:56,963 –> 00:47:58,403
Despite this awareness,
1315
00:47:58,563 –> 00:48:01,483
the FBI appears to have dismissed the confidential
1316
00:48:01,483 –> 00:48:03,603
information as not credible
1317
00:48:04,243 –> 00:48:08,003
without any investigative steps actually having been
1318
00:48:08,003 –> 00:48:12,083
taken to either corroborate or disprove the allegations.
1319
00:48:12,363 –> 00:48:12,723
They said,
1320
00:48:13,043 –> 00:48:13,763
fuck it, throw it out.
1321
00:48:14,083 –> 00:48:19,523
Now, what’s damning is it was used,
1322
00:48:19,763 –> 00:48:20,443
the report,
1323
00:48:20,803 –> 00:48:21,643
we all know now,
1324
00:48:21,763 –> 00:48:22,563
they testified,
1325
00:48:22,643 –> 00:48:25,043
that it was used to spy on the Trump campaign.
1326
00:48:25,363 –> 00:48:27,923
Now, Trump miraculously wins.
1327
00:48:28,003 –> 00:48:29,123
On December 8th,
1328
00:48:29,203 –> 00:48:32,163
the presidential daily briefing put together by
1329
00:48:33,043 –> 00:48:34,123
National Intelligence,
1330
00:48:34,123 –> 00:48:35,603
CIA, FBI,
1331
00:48:35,683 –> 00:48:36,123
et cetera,
1332
00:48:36,323 –> 00:48:36,803
all of them,
1333
00:48:36,803 –> 00:48:38,003
all 18 agencies.
1334
00:48:38,723 –> 00:48:40,483
They put together a briefing for the president,
1335
00:48:40,483 –> 00:48:41,043
which says,
1336
00:48:42,163 –> 00:48:45,003
doesn’t look like the Russians really meddled in there
1337
00:48:45,003 –> 00:48:46,723
and weren’t really capable of doing much,
1338
00:48:46,723 –> 00:48:47,043
right?
1339
00:48:47,203 –> 00:48:50,483
Didn’t really have a preference for Trump or Clinton,
1340
00:48:50,563 –> 00:48:51,043
right?
1341
00:48:51,803 –> 00:48:53,523
That was December 8th.
1342
00:48:53,523 –> 00:48:54,243
December 9th,
1343
00:48:54,803 –> 00:48:58,163
Obama meets with everybody and orders that assessment
1344
00:48:58,723 –> 00:48:59,523
thrown out.
1345
00:49:00,683 –> 00:49:02,963
and have a redo done by a group of five,
1346
00:49:02,963 –> 00:49:04,643
not 18 services,
1347
00:49:04,723 –> 00:49:06,803
a group of five handpicked analysts.
1348
00:49:07,603 –> 00:49:09,283
It comes back January 6,
1349
00:49:09,283 –> 00:49:12,163
2017, and it says,
1350
00:49:13,043 –> 00:49:14,403
yes, they preferred Trump.
1351
00:49:15,043 –> 00:49:17,683
They meddled their possible collusion.
1352
00:49:17,683 –> 00:49:21,923
And off we went with the mayhem for the next three,
1353
00:49:21,923 –> 00:49:22,963
4 fucking years.
1354
00:49:22,963 –> 00:49:24,003
He was a stooge.
1355
00:49:24,163 –> 00:49:25,843
Trump was a Manchurian candidate.
1356
00:49:26,003 –> 00:49:27,443
He was sleeping with Putin,
1357
00:49:27,603 –> 00:49:27,843
you know,
1358
00:49:27,843 –> 00:49:28,563
the whole night.
1359
00:49:28,563 –> 00:49:29,603
It turns out
1360
00:49:32,563 –> 00:49:34,723
The CIA did use the Steele dossier.
1361
00:49:34,963 –> 00:49:36,483
The CIA director,
1362
00:49:36,883 –> 00:49:37,843
John Brennan,
1363
00:49:38,003 –> 00:49:39,203
testified to that.
1364
00:49:39,683 –> 00:49:42,403
The whistleblowers are now coming out saying otherwise.
1365
00:49:42,643 –> 00:49:43,203
And Comey,
1366
00:49:43,203 –> 00:49:44,403
the FBI director,
1367
00:49:44,643 –> 00:49:47,363
even testified that he thought the Steele dossier
1368
00:49:47,523 –> 00:49:48,163
was true.
1369
00:49:48,883 –> 00:49:51,843
So what I’m smelling is we got to keep going because
1370
00:49:52,483 –> 00:49:54,323
the difference between January 6th,
1371
00:49:54,323 –> 00:49:56,923
2017 and January 6th,
1372
00:49:57,043 –> 00:49:57,843
2020,
1373
00:49:58,803 –> 00:50:00,043
was January 6th,
1374
00:50:00,043 –> 00:50:04,363
2020 could have been prevented with some cops and
1375
00:50:04,363 –> 00:50:05,363
the National Guard,
1376
00:50:05,603 –> 00:50:07,043
right, and kicked in baboons’
1377
00:50:07,043 –> 00:50:09,043
asses off the Capitol steps,
1378
00:50:09,203 –> 00:50:10,203
get the fuck out,
1379
00:50:10,323 –> 00:50:11,443
make some arrests,
1380
00:50:11,523 –> 00:50:12,363
right, shoot,
1381
00:50:12,723 –> 00:50:13,523
crowd control.
1382
00:50:13,683 –> 00:50:14,003
Right.
1383
00:50:14,723 –> 00:50:15,443
Like I said,
1384
00:50:15,443 –> 00:50:17,683
that’s just a bunch of goofballs going nuts.
1385
00:50:17,843 –> 00:50:19,763
Angry, rightly so,
1386
00:50:20,083 –> 00:50:20,403
right?
1387
00:50:20,643 –> 00:50:21,563
That could have been controlled.
1388
00:50:21,763 –> 00:50:25,043
The January 6th from three years earlier was treason.
1389
00:50:25,843 –> 00:50:26,603
It was sedition.
1390
00:50:26,603 –> 00:50:27,163
That’s Mark.
1391
00:50:27,163 –> 00:50:28,083
What’s your opinion on it?
1392
00:50:28,243 –> 00:50:29,523
I know you don’t agree with me.
1393
00:50:30,403 –> 00:50:31,723
I don’t necessarily agree with you.
1394
00:50:32,723 –> 00:50:33,323
Tell me what?
1395
00:50:34,003 –> 00:50:35,843
Well, because I do think there was meddling.
1396
00:50:35,843 –> 00:50:37,203
Trump admitted there was meddling.
1397
00:50:37,203 –> 00:50:39,603
I think the meddling tended to be through social media
1398
00:50:39,723 –> 00:50:40,963
and manipulation,
1399
00:50:41,043 –> 00:50:44,163
as they did with Crimea and Ukraine in 2013.
1400
00:50:44,163 –> 00:50:45,203
You just said nothing.
1401
00:50:45,203 –> 00:50:45,843
First of all,
1402
00:50:45,963 –> 00:50:47,763
let me just take that point by point.
1403
00:50:48,083 –> 00:50:49,523
There was social media meddling,
1404
00:50:49,683 –> 00:50:50,043
right?
1405
00:50:50,083 –> 00:50:50,683
Yeah, no.
1406
00:50:50,683 –> 00:50:52,083
OK, CNN.
1407
00:50:53,283 –> 00:50:56,483
And MSNBC did more to fuck with people’s minds than
1408
00:50:56,483 –> 00:50:57,643
any Facebook post.
1409
00:50:57,643 –> 00:50:58,483
True, be it as it may.
1410
00:50:58,643 –> 00:51:04,403
Okay, and it’s well documented that it was not thousands
1411
00:51:04,403 –> 00:51:05,443
of social media posts,
1412
00:51:05,443 –> 00:51:08,043
and almost none of this could be attributed back to
1413
00:51:08,083 –> 00:51:08,563
Russia.
1414
00:51:08,883 –> 00:51:09,843
So give me your next one.
1415
00:51:10,643 –> 00:51:14,723
Well, I mean the meeting in Trump Tower over the Mignitsky
1416
00:51:14,723 –> 00:51:15,123
Act.
1417
00:51:15,163 –> 00:51:16,083
Okay, we go like this.
1418
00:51:16,163 –> 00:51:17,603
There was a meeting in Trump Tower.
1419
00:51:17,603 –> 00:51:18,563
Let me finish that thought.
1420
00:51:18,563 –> 00:51:20,963
I don’t necessarily think they knew that what they
1421
00:51:20,963 –> 00:51:22,163
were doing was illegal there.
1422
00:51:22,163 –> 00:51:23,083
Well, let’s just…
1423
00:51:23,843 –> 00:51:24,083
Sure.
1424
00:51:26,243 –> 00:51:29,403
So Don Junior’s meeting with some Ukrainian people
1425
00:51:29,403 –> 00:51:31,683
that, might have some information and shit,
1426
00:51:31,683 –> 00:51:31,963
right?
1427
00:51:32,163 –> 00:51:33,283
Okay, true enough.
1428
00:51:34,563 –> 00:51:35,763
I know politics.
1429
00:51:36,083 –> 00:51:37,563
It’s called opposition research.
1430
00:51:37,563 –> 00:51:38,563
You got some smoke?
1431
00:51:39,283 –> 00:51:40,803
You got some shit to give me?
1432
00:51:40,803 –> 00:51:41,443
Give it to me.
1433
00:51:41,603 –> 00:51:42,323
Okay, fine.
1434
00:51:42,483 –> 00:51:45,443
Is that I’m in bed and colluding with the Kremlin?
1435
00:51:45,683 –> 00:51:46,043
No.
1436
00:51:46,443 –> 00:51:47,123
What’s next?
1437
00:51:47,123 –> 00:51:48,723
Neither is asking for the emails,
1438
00:51:48,803 –> 00:51:49,123
you know,
1439
00:51:49,283 –> 00:51:50,243
to have them put it out.
1440
00:51:50,923 –> 00:51:51,603
What’s next?
1441
00:51:52,003 –> 00:51:52,483
What do you mean?
1442
00:51:52,563 –> 00:51:53,763
What next?
1443
00:51:53,923 –> 00:51:55,843
Because these don’t rise to any.
1444
00:51:56,563 –> 00:51:57,923
Oh, I didn’t say they do.
1445
00:51:57,923 –> 00:52:00,083
I just, I don’t know.
1446
00:52:00,083 –> 00:52:04,243
I think Russia did have a little bit of influence.
1447
00:52:04,243 –> 00:52:07,203
Now, did it raise to the levels that the Democrats
1448
00:52:07,203 –> 00:52:08,443
thought it did?
1449
00:52:08,443 –> 00:52:08,683
No.
1450
00:52:08,683 –> 00:52:09,883
Where’s Paul Manafort?
1451
00:52:10,083 –> 00:52:12,803
Paul Manafort went to prison for like
1452
00:52:13,803 –> 00:52:15,523
not registered as a Ford lobbyist,
1453
00:52:15,523 –> 00:52:16,963
lie it out as tax returns.
1454
00:52:16,963 –> 00:52:20,403
It wasn’t like I’m funneling information at the Kremlin.
1455
00:52:20,643 –> 00:52:21,243
Was he giving,
1456
00:52:21,683 –> 00:52:25,843
was he showing polling data to a Ukrainian?
1457
00:52:25,843 –> 00:52:26,003
Yeah.
1458
00:52:26,003 –> 00:52:26,483
Okay.
1459
00:52:26,563 –> 00:52:26,723
Yeah.
1460
00:52:26,803 –> 00:52:30,523
So like, I’m looking at what we went through and I’m
1461
00:52:30,523 –> 00:52:34,163
looking at the Steele dossier.
1462
00:52:34,163 –> 00:52:36,763
I’m looking at changing the daily briefings in the
1463
00:52:36,763 –> 00:52:37,523
intelligence.
1464
00:52:37,683 –> 00:52:39,043
And I’m sorry,
1465
00:52:39,043 –> 00:52:39,443
man.
1466
00:52:41,523 –> 00:52:44,883
I never have a problem with a hearing.
1467
00:52:44,923 –> 00:52:46,003
I mean, most of the time,
1468
00:52:46,003 –> 00:52:47,003
though, it’s theater,
1469
00:52:47,003 –> 00:52:47,483
right?
1470
00:52:47,483 –> 00:52:48,403
If it’s televised,
1471
00:52:48,403 –> 00:52:50,243
but what you do first,
1472
00:52:50,243 –> 00:52:52,003
and Dana Nestle is going to find this out,
1473
00:52:52,003 –> 00:52:53,483
is first you’d oppose people,
1474
00:52:54,003 –> 00:52:57,603
then you get the transcripts,
1475
00:52:58,323 –> 00:52:59,443
then you comb through them,
1476
00:52:59,523 –> 00:53:00,803
then you hold the hearing,
1477
00:53:01,283 –> 00:53:01,603
right?
1478
00:53:02,083 –> 00:53:04,083
Then you go through what was said at the hearing,
1479
00:53:04,083 –> 00:53:05,603
and then you decide if they’re going to be charges.
1480
00:53:06,323 –> 00:53:07,483
I basically just.
1481
00:53:07,603 –> 00:53:08,443
This doesn’t bother you?
1482
00:53:08,883 –> 00:53:09,923
No, it does.
1483
00:53:09,923 –> 00:53:11,283
I think it’s worth being looked into.
1484
00:53:11,363 –> 00:53:11,763
I just.
1485
00:53:13,043 –> 00:53:14,203
This is going to sound ridiculous.
1486
00:53:14,203 –> 00:53:16,163
I don’t give either side enough credit to be able to
1487
00:53:16,163 –> 00:53:17,123
pull off something.
1488
00:53:17,603 –> 00:53:18,723
Well, this is the thing.
1489
00:53:19,163 –> 00:53:21,163
They both have enough credit to do it.
1490
00:53:21,163 –> 00:53:23,203
And that’s the whole trick of it all.
1491
00:53:23,363 –> 00:53:27,763
They both can have the power to make these kind of
1492
00:53:27,763 –> 00:53:30,243
moves and then come tell us anything.
1493
00:53:30,323 –> 00:53:33,283
If the intelligence community did what it looks like,
1494
00:53:33,323 –> 00:53:34,163
man, this.
1495
00:53:34,883 –> 00:53:36,323
We’ve almost lost the Union.
1496
00:53:36,323 –> 00:53:36,523
Sure.
1497
00:53:36,523 –> 00:53:37,003
Right.
1498
00:53:37,323 –> 00:53:39,283
And this is Soviet style shit.
1499
00:53:39,763 –> 00:53:40,083
Sure.
1500
00:53:41,363 –> 00:53:44,483
Yeah, you’re making things move in motion that are
1501
00:53:44,483 –> 00:53:46,883
not true to get the narrative you want.
1502
00:53:47,363 –> 00:53:50,563
And if our politicians and the people that we are entrusting
1503
00:53:50,883 –> 00:53:52,403
to be there for our better,
1504
00:53:52,403 –> 00:53:55,283
good, interests or whatever is doing this,
1505
00:53:55,443 –> 00:53:57,523
then that’s scarier than anything else.
1506
00:53:57,603 –> 00:53:58,803
That’s just like you said,
1507
00:53:58,803 –> 00:53:59,683
January 6th,
1508
00:53:59,683 –> 00:54:03,363
because now you’re committing an act against the country.
1509
00:54:03,763 –> 00:54:04,243
Yeah.
1510
00:54:05,123 –> 00:54:06,403
Our will, our will.
1511
00:54:06,563 –> 00:54:07,283
Like my brother goes,
1512
00:54:07,283 –> 00:54:11,363
well, that’s going to get your crowd steeped up,
1513
00:54:11,363 –> 00:54:11,683
right?
1514
00:54:11,803 –> 00:54:13,323
all the nursing home stuff.
1515
00:54:13,323 –> 00:54:14,403
And I go, my crowd?
1516
00:54:15,203 –> 00:54:16,163
I go, what crowd?
1517
00:54:17,203 –> 00:54:17,963
The MAGA crowd?
1518
00:54:18,363 –> 00:54:19,763
And he, I go,
1519
00:54:19,843 –> 00:54:21,163
that’s your crowd.
1520
00:54:21,163 –> 00:54:21,923
That’s where you go.
1521
00:54:22,003 –> 00:54:23,923
I go, maybe,
1522
00:54:24,483 –> 00:54:25,803
I’m the only Democrat.
1523
00:54:25,803 –> 00:54:27,443
Maybe I’m the only liberal.
1524
00:54:28,483 –> 00:54:30,883
that they can even stomach because I think,
1525
00:54:31,523 –> 00:54:32,963
the crowd here,
1526
00:54:32,963 –> 00:54:33,563
the family,
1527
00:54:33,563 –> 00:54:35,683
the listeners and the consumers,
1528
00:54:37,043 –> 00:54:39,843
no, I ain’t no right wing whack job.
1529
00:54:39,843 –> 00:54:41,603
I just balls and strikes.
1530
00:54:41,923 –> 00:54:44,963
And I worked at the New York Times and there’s no fucking
1531
00:54:44,963 –> 00:54:48,563
way that my one source guy at the FBI is going to
1532
00:54:48,723 –> 00:54:52,483
hand me a piece of fucking paper and I’m going straight
1533
00:54:52,483 –> 00:54:53,523
for a Pulitzer with it.
1534
00:54:53,683 –> 00:54:55,363
I would never do that.
1535
00:54:55,443 –> 00:54:56,723
And if I did get fooled,
1536
00:54:57,723 –> 00:54:59,683
And they’re pretty clever,
1537
00:54:59,843 –> 00:55:00,483
these spooks,
1538
00:55:00,523 –> 00:55:01,043
what I mean?
1539
00:55:01,443 –> 00:55:02,243
I would admit it.
1540
00:55:03,443 –> 00:55:04,483
I would, I would,
1541
00:55:04,563 –> 00:55:05,683
if they tricked me,
1542
00:55:05,843 –> 00:55:08,243
I would lay it out for my readers how they tricked
1543
00:55:08,243 –> 00:55:08,403
me.
1544
00:55:08,803 –> 00:55:09,123
All right.
1545
00:55:09,243 –> 00:55:10,723
And then the accountability.
1546
00:55:10,883 –> 00:55:11,923
That’d be just a good read.
1547
00:55:12,243 –> 00:55:12,603
Right.
1548
00:55:12,643 –> 00:55:13,003
That’s good.
1549
00:55:13,603 –> 00:55:14,763
And if you lied to me,
1550
00:55:14,763 –> 00:55:16,683
then all bets are off on your anonymity,
1551
00:55:16,683 –> 00:55:20,523
man, because you came to me anonymously with the truth.
1552
00:55:20,523 –> 00:55:21,643
And if it wasn’t the truth,
1553
00:55:22,043 –> 00:55:23,403
then the deal’s off.
1554
00:55:24,443 –> 00:55:24,803
Basically,
1555
00:55:24,803 –> 00:55:27,403
you gave me a lie I didn’t even ask for.
1556
00:55:27,403 –> 00:55:29,043
We go back to the beginning of the program,
1557
00:55:29,043 –> 00:55:32,043
like you all took Whitmer’s word for this science
1558
00:55:32,043 –> 00:55:32,523
and data.
1559
00:55:32,683 –> 00:55:33,483
I never did.
1560
00:55:33,643 –> 00:55:35,683
I’m going in that fucking nursing home one way or the
1561
00:55:35,683 –> 00:55:35,963
other.
1562
00:55:36,523 –> 00:55:37,163
You know what I mean?
1563
00:55:37,483 –> 00:55:37,603
Yeah.
1564
00:55:37,643 –> 00:55:38,923
I don’t know if I believe this.
1565
00:55:38,923 –> 00:55:39,803
I’m not taking it.
1566
00:55:41,003 –> 00:55:42,323
The game for me is like,
1567
00:55:42,683 –> 00:55:43,643
Quit lying to us.
1568
00:55:44,363 –> 00:55:45,163
We adults.
1569
00:55:45,563 –> 00:55:46,683
Tell us what it is,
1570
00:55:47,003 –> 00:55:48,363
let it be what it’s going to be.
1571
00:55:48,483 –> 00:55:49,643
When you get the line,
1572
00:55:49,643 –> 00:55:52,003
you’re lying because you’re trying to protect something.
1573
00:55:52,043 –> 00:55:53,723
In the case of these politicians,
1574
00:55:53,723 –> 00:55:57,643
all you’re protecting is your interest.
1575
00:55:57,883 –> 00:55:59,083
You’re not protecting mine.
1576
00:55:59,083 –> 00:56:00,283
You’re not protecting the people.
1577
00:56:00,443 –> 00:56:04,363
You’re lying to me to protect whatever it is you holding
1578
00:56:04,363 –> 00:56:05,243
dear and sacred.
1579
00:56:05,323 –> 00:56:07,363
Whether it’s that extra envelope of cash,
1580
00:56:07,603 –> 00:56:08,883
whether it’s the favors,
1581
00:56:09,083 –> 00:56:09,963
whether it’s whatever.
1582
00:56:10,083 –> 00:56:10,883
It’s always money.
1583
00:56:10,883 –> 00:56:11,723
It’s always money.
1584
00:56:11,883 –> 00:56:12,763
It’s all evil.
1585
00:56:12,763 –> 00:56:13,323
So I will,
1586
00:56:13,403 –> 00:56:13,643
you know,
1587
00:56:13,643 –> 00:56:15,483
look, I haven’t drawn a conclusion,
1588
00:56:15,483 –> 00:56:16,923
but I gave you a few,
1589
00:56:17,883 –> 00:56:18,163
you know,
1590
00:56:18,203 –> 00:56:19,643
I read all this shit.
1591
00:56:21,003 –> 00:56:22,203
I gave you a few.
1592
00:56:24,843 –> 00:56:26,843
crumbs through the forest that need to be filed.
1593
00:56:26,923 –> 00:56:29,163
I didn’t say I arrived at a conclusion.
1594
00:56:29,163 –> 00:56:30,243
And I don’t dismiss it,
1595
00:56:30,523 –> 00:56:32,283
but I’m not going to buy it hook and sink.
1596
00:56:32,283 –> 00:56:33,603
No, I’m not doing that either,
1597
00:56:33,603 –> 00:56:33,883
dude.
1598
00:56:34,003 –> 00:56:35,723
I’m open mind here,
1599
00:56:36,363 –> 00:56:39,323
but I know that I kept an open mind through the Russia
1600
00:56:39,323 –> 00:56:44,123
investigation all the way to the conclusion of Mueller’s
1601
00:56:44,123 –> 00:56:44,763
report.
1602
00:56:44,843 –> 00:56:46,283
There was nothing there really,
1603
00:56:46,603 –> 00:56:46,963
right?
1604
00:56:47,083 –> 00:56:47,963
Really nothing there.
1605
00:56:48,523 –> 00:56:50,363
So now that I’m seeing this,
1606
00:56:51,163 –> 00:56:52,203
just keep an open mind.
1607
00:56:53,323 –> 00:56:53,843
Yeah, you have to,
1608
00:56:53,843 –> 00:56:56,003
because even in the I don’t.
1609
00:56:56,243 –> 00:57:01,243
Do you think the Biden family benefited from foreign
1610
00:57:01,243 –> 00:57:01,723
payoffs?
1611
00:57:01,723 –> 00:57:02,643
Of course.
1612
00:57:02,763 –> 00:57:03,163
You do?
1613
00:57:03,243 –> 00:57:03,643
Yes.
1614
00:57:03,643 –> 00:57:07,243
Okay, you who live over there at Davidson and Livernois.
1615
00:57:07,683 –> 00:57:09,243
Yeah, I believe it too.
1616
00:57:09,243 –> 00:57:09,723
Do you believe it?
1617
00:57:09,723 –> 00:57:10,283
Yes, I do.
1618
00:57:10,283 –> 00:57:10,963
But yeah.
1619
00:57:10,963 –> 00:57:12,083
What was I told for years?
1620
00:57:13,003 –> 00:57:15,643
I believe pretty much almost every administration’s
1621
00:57:15,643 –> 00:57:17,883
family benefits though.
1622
00:57:17,883 –> 00:57:20,603
And I feel I feel terrible because it’s such a cynical
1623
00:57:20,603 –> 00:57:21,643
way to look at everything.
1624
00:57:22,283 –> 00:57:22,403
Yeah,
1625
00:57:22,963 –> 00:57:23,483
to see it.
1626
00:57:23,563 –> 00:57:23,803
Yeah.
1627
00:57:24,203 –> 00:57:24,403
Right.
1628
00:57:24,403 –> 00:57:27,323
Why do you think Hillary Clinton took a bottle of bleach,
1629
00:57:27,323 –> 00:57:27,643
you know,
1630
00:57:27,803 –> 00:57:28,523
figuratively,
1631
00:57:28,643 –> 00:57:31,243
and a sledgehammer to a private server?
1632
00:57:31,243 –> 00:57:31,723
Of course.
1633
00:57:31,803 –> 00:57:33,963
Was it to destroy classified information?
1634
00:57:33,963 –> 00:57:34,683
I doubt it.
1635
00:57:35,563 –> 00:57:36,603
I’m probably in deposit slips.
1636
00:57:36,603 –> 00:57:38,123
It’s probably the e-mail like,
1637
00:57:38,123 –> 00:57:38,443
you know,
1638
00:57:38,443 –> 00:57:41,203
you get preferential treatment if you’re talking to
1639
00:57:41,203 –> 00:57:42,123
the Clinton Foundation.
1640
00:57:42,283 –> 00:57:43,163
Could be that.
1641
00:57:43,403 –> 00:57:43,523
Yeah.
1642
00:57:44,043 –> 00:57:46,283
The fact that you weren’t charged is insane to me.
1643
00:57:46,923 –> 00:57:48,203
I want to point this out too.
1644
00:57:48,363 –> 00:57:50,283
A lot of people I don’t think realize this.
1645
00:57:50,283 –> 00:57:51,923
Yes, you make a decent,
1646
00:57:51,963 –> 00:57:54,523
good salary to be a politician,
1647
00:57:54,843 –> 00:57:57,723
but majority of the people that’s politicians already
1648
00:57:57,723 –> 00:57:58,843
be in money.
1649
00:57:59,163 –> 00:58:01,563
So when they run like a Trump,
1650
00:58:01,643 –> 00:58:02,963
I’m not saying Trump,
1651
00:58:02,963 –> 00:58:04,283
I’m not putting this out on him,
1652
00:58:04,443 –> 00:58:06,043
but Trump’s a millionaire,
1653
00:58:06,123 –> 00:58:06,683
billionaire,
1654
00:58:06,683 –> 00:58:07,123
possibly,
1655
00:58:07,123 –> 00:58:07,643
whatever.
1656
00:58:07,963 –> 00:58:11,883
He, that salary he makes as a president ain’t shit.
1657
00:58:12,243 –> 00:58:16,563
What he makes in connection to being president is where
1658
00:58:16,563 –> 00:58:17,403
it’s really at,
1659
00:58:17,483 –> 00:58:20,443
because now he goes into the future with disconnect,
1660
00:58:20,603 –> 00:58:21,203
that connection.
1661
00:58:21,203 –> 00:58:22,043
Well, no, it’s happened.
1662
00:58:22,043 –> 00:58:24,923
That’s a big problem with me in this administration
1663
00:58:24,923 –> 00:58:26,523
is like, you,
1664
00:58:26,523 –> 00:58:27,403
your, not,
1665
00:58:27,403 –> 00:58:28,283
well, your associates,
1666
00:58:28,283 –> 00:58:28,883
your family,
1667
00:58:28,883 –> 00:58:29,243
your son,
1668
00:58:29,243 –> 00:58:31,643
you guys are making buku money overseas.
1669
00:58:32,123 –> 00:58:32,923
Buku.
1670
00:58:33,163 –> 00:58:34,443
I mean, cease and desist.
1671
00:58:35,003 –> 00:58:35,123
Yeah.
1672
00:58:35,243 –> 00:58:35,803
Ceasing to,
1673
00:58:35,963 –> 00:58:36,283
you know,
1674
00:58:36,683 –> 00:58:37,803
deals in Qatar,
1675
00:58:37,803 –> 00:58:39,083
deals with Saudi Arabia,
1676
00:58:39,723 –> 00:58:41,043
hedge funds you’re managing.
1677
00:58:41,043 –> 00:58:42,123
What the fuck?
1678
00:58:42,243 –> 00:58:42,523
Yeah.
1679
00:58:42,923 –> 00:58:43,563
No good.
1680
00:58:44,203 –> 00:58:44,723
No good.
1681
00:58:45,723 –> 00:58:46,363
I’m against it.
1682
00:58:47,083 –> 00:58:47,403
Okay.
1683
00:58:47,563 –> 00:58:48,843
Now, finally,
1684
00:58:51,163 –> 00:58:52,763
just appeared on my buddy show.
1685
00:58:54,043 –> 00:58:54,443
Chris Cole,
1686
00:58:54,683 –> 00:58:55,243
this one,
1687
00:58:55,883 –> 00:58:57,563
he had me on because again,
1688
00:58:57,563 –> 00:59:00,523
we don’t give up things of national importance with
1689
00:59:00,523 –> 00:59:01,643
the local angle.
1690
00:59:02,563 –> 00:59:07,203
Just my appearance recently concerning the guy in the
1691
00:59:07,203 –> 00:59:09,243
terror watch list who never thanked me for the dead
1692
00:59:09,243 –> 00:59:11,323
man’s plant that I gave to him.
1693
00:59:12,203 –> 00:59:13,203
And we’ll see you next week.
1694
00:59:13,803 –> 00:59:16,283
I literally want to just spend like four or five minutes
1695
00:59:16,523 –> 00:59:19,483
with Charlie LaDuff letting him brag about what he
1696
00:59:19,483 –> 00:59:22,443
accomplished after three years and why it took so
1697
00:59:22,443 –> 00:59:22,923
long.
1698
00:59:23,003 –> 00:59:23,483
Okay.
1699
00:59:23,723 –> 00:59:25,723
This is what we’re supposed to be worried about when
1700
00:59:25,723 –> 00:59:27,483
it comes to national security and immigration.
1701
00:59:27,643 –> 00:59:31,643
A terrorist who was allowed in or snuck in or both
1702
00:59:32,363 –> 00:59:34,123
wound up in his hometown,
1703
00:59:34,363 –> 00:59:34,843
all right?
1704
00:59:35,323 –> 00:59:37,723
And Charlie went after it.
1705
00:59:37,803 –> 00:59:38,363
Watch this.
1706
00:59:39,563 –> 00:59:41,963
I found out the Border Patrol caught a man and his
1707
00:59:41,963 –> 00:59:44,763
family sneaking in over the Texas border last November.
1708
00:59:45,203 –> 00:59:46,683
His name is Assam Bazi.
1709
00:59:46,843 –> 00:59:50,443
He’s listed on the terrorist watch list as a high classified
1710
00:59:50,763 –> 00:59:53,243
known or suspected terrorist.
1711
00:59:53,483 –> 00:59:55,723
Anyhow, they let him in anyway.
1712
00:59:55,883 –> 00:59:57,483
He’s living here in Dearborn.
1713
00:59:59,643 –> 01:00:00,843
Charlie joins me now.
1714
01:00:02,603 –> 01:00:03,603
I don’t want to see this guy’s face.
1715
01:00:03,603 –> 01:00:04,363
I want to see Charlie.
1716
01:00:04,363 –> 01:00:04,683
Good.
1717
01:00:04,923 –> 01:00:06,283
Charlie, thank you for joining me.
1718
01:00:06,283 –> 01:00:07,243
I like the haircut.
1719
01:00:08,203 –> 01:00:10,683
Why did it take so long and what do you believe the
1720
01:00:10,683 –> 01:00:11,323
lesson is?
1721
01:00:13,083 –> 01:00:16,043
Why it takes so long is this is a really great indication
1722
01:00:16,043 –> 01:00:19,163
of just really how bad it was under Biden,
1723
01:00:19,243 –> 01:00:19,563
right?
1724
01:00:20,363 –> 01:00:22,683
We all have our opinions about immigration,
1725
01:00:22,763 –> 01:00:26,923
but I think we all have the same opinion about a category
1726
01:00:26,923 –> 01:00:27,483
five
1727
01:00:28,043 –> 01:00:31,803
hit on the terror watch list with high derogatory information.
1728
01:00:32,763 –> 01:00:34,763
You don’t make him get a covid shot.
1729
01:00:34,763 –> 01:00:36,083
You give him a one-way ticket.
1730
01:00:36,123 –> 01:00:36,923
You set him up.
1731
01:00:37,243 –> 01:00:39,603
He gets a social security number.
1732
01:00:39,723 –> 01:00:42,123
He gets working papers.
1733
01:00:42,283 –> 01:00:44,283
He gets a driver’s license.
1734
01:00:44,443 –> 01:00:46,763
He gets all of this when normally,
1735
01:00:47,163 –> 01:00:47,723
normally,
1736
01:00:47,723 –> 01:00:51,123
this is the first guy ever on the terror watch list
1737
01:00:51,123 –> 01:00:52,363
that was known to be let in,
1738
01:00:52,363 –> 01:00:53,243
and he got all that.
1739
01:00:53,403 –> 01:00:55,083
So it was completely bankrupt.
1740
01:00:55,323 –> 01:00:56,043
And I figure,
1741
01:00:56,523 –> 01:00:58,683
there’s one son of a bitch that we can all agree on.
1742
01:00:58,843 –> 01:00:59,963
Does not belong here.
1743
01:01:00,203 –> 01:01:01,763
Takes 3 years,
1744
01:01:01,763 –> 01:01:03,563
Craig, three and a half.
1745
01:01:03,563 –> 01:01:05,483
I’m doing jumping jacks on his porch.
1746
01:01:05,723 –> 01:01:07,963
I brought him a plant from a dead man’s funeral,
1747
01:01:08,283 –> 01:01:08,483
right?
1748
01:01:08,563 –> 01:01:09,643
He never thanked me for it.
1749
01:01:09,643 –> 01:01:10,683
Doesn’t have much manners.
1750
01:01:11,163 –> 01:01:11,883
And finally,
1751
01:01:12,123 –> 01:01:13,323
we have a changeover.
1752
01:01:13,803 –> 01:01:14,923
Takes a few months,
1753
01:01:14,923 –> 01:01:19,123
but immigration officials finally see it and come
1754
01:01:19,123 –> 01:01:19,483
get them.
1755
01:01:19,483 –> 01:01:20,763
So the lesson learned is,
1756
01:01:21,163 –> 01:01:22,203
this is everywhere.
1757
01:01:22,443 –> 01:01:23,043
We’ve all been,
1758
01:01:23,123 –> 01:01:23,643
yeah, there you go.
1759
01:01:24,523 –> 01:01:26,723
we kind of got failed on this and it really bummed
1760
01:01:26,723 –> 01:01:29,403
me out because nobody followed up with the story.
1761
01:01:31,083 –> 01:01:32,683
Why did they let him in?
1762
01:01:35,243 –> 01:01:36,683
Because they were letting everyone in.
1763
01:01:36,963 –> 01:01:39,963
He was the first one that was let in that we knew of.
1764
01:01:40,123 –> 01:01:40,683
Since then,
1765
01:01:40,683 –> 01:01:45,003
we now know 98 people on the terror watch list were
1766
01:01:45,003 –> 01:01:45,483
let in.
1767
01:01:45,723 –> 01:01:47,163
Before it used to be,
1768
01:01:47,323 –> 01:01:48,043
you’re detained,
1769
01:01:48,043 –> 01:01:49,083
you’re interrogated,
1770
01:01:49,403 –> 01:01:51,163
and then you are deported.
1771
01:01:51,723 –> 01:01:53,083
We had 98 guys in,
1772
01:01:53,083 –> 01:01:53,643
get this,
1773
01:01:53,883 –> 01:01:55,323
Four of them were on Medicaid.
1774
01:01:58,763 –> 01:01:59,163
How?
1775
01:02:00,443 –> 01:02:02,763
Because the last administration allowed it.
1776
01:02:03,163 –> 01:02:05,483
Like, you got to know that when I get these high,
1777
01:02:06,043 –> 01:02:07,483
highly classified documents,
1778
01:02:07,803 –> 01:02:10,003
I know frustrated people on the inside,
1779
01:02:10,003 –> 01:02:10,363
right?
1780
01:02:10,683 –> 01:02:12,763
So they want to know why.
1781
01:02:13,003 –> 01:02:15,523
It was just a small cabal of people allowing this.
1782
01:02:15,523 –> 01:02:16,763
And once again,
1783
01:02:17,003 –> 01:02:17,483
we can all,
1784
01:02:17,723 –> 01:02:19,003
you live through 9-11.
1785
01:02:19,483 –> 01:02:20,203
I lived through it.
1786
01:02:20,203 –> 01:02:21,323
We were both in New York.
1787
01:02:21,323 –> 01:02:22,923
I covered that hole every day.
1788
01:02:23,243 –> 01:02:24,363
I had to go to Iraq.
1789
01:02:24,363 –> 01:02:24,923
I wanted to.
1790
01:02:25,323 –> 01:02:25,963
No way.
1791
01:02:26,683 –> 01:02:28,043
This guy, no way.
1792
01:02:28,923 –> 01:02:30,523
And nobody wanted to join in the chase.
1793
01:02:32,443 –> 01:02:35,323
And you think it was just politics?
1794
01:02:35,323 –> 01:02:37,243
It was just the bureaucracy or what?
1795
01:02:38,323 –> 01:02:39,403
And how many more are there?
1796
01:02:41,083 –> 01:02:42,603
How many are left in the country?
1797
01:02:42,923 –> 01:02:44,803
I’ll find that out for you tomorrow.
1798
01:02:44,923 –> 01:02:45,643
I don’t know.
1799
01:02:45,963 –> 01:02:46,363
But
1800
01:02:46,923 –> 01:02:47,803
Just put it this way.
1801
01:02:47,803 –> 01:02:49,803
The guys with the masks on their face,
1802
01:02:49,803 –> 01:02:50,563
they got to go get them.
1803
01:02:50,563 –> 01:02:51,403
The guys that I know,
1804
01:02:52,603 –> 01:02:53,563
they were pissed.
1805
01:02:54,203 –> 01:02:55,803
Year one, year two.
1806
01:02:55,843 –> 01:02:56,923
And then the more of them,
1807
01:02:56,923 –> 01:02:57,643
they saw it,
1808
01:02:57,643 –> 01:02:57,843
you know,
1809
01:02:57,843 –> 01:02:59,483
everybody saw it in power.
1810
01:02:59,883 –> 01:03:02,123
And the more and the more and the more people would
1811
01:03:02,123 –> 01:03:04,043
call me, I would call my Congress people,
1812
01:03:04,363 –> 01:03:07,003
two of whom were on the Homeland Security Committee.
1813
01:03:07,403 –> 01:03:09,483
One would call me back.
1814
01:03:09,483 –> 01:03:10,403
The other blew me off.
1815
01:03:10,403 –> 01:03:13,563
And she’s now a senator talking about sensible politics.
1816
01:03:13,843 –> 01:03:16,523
And that’s all we want in Michigan
1817
01:03:16,843 –> 01:03:17,643
We’re in the middle.
1818
01:03:17,803 –> 01:03:18,843
You wanted our vote.
1819
01:03:19,083 –> 01:03:19,683
You got it.
1820
01:03:19,683 –> 01:03:21,163
And then we went ignored.
1821
01:03:21,163 –> 01:03:22,523
So I want to thank you,
1822
01:03:23,083 –> 01:03:24,043
people of Michigan,
1823
01:03:24,363 –> 01:03:26,963
that you come back and you hear what we have to say
1824
01:03:26,963 –> 01:03:27,803
and what we’re living through.
1825
01:03:29,563 –> 01:03:31,723
And look, and good for putting this guy to justice.
1826
01:03:31,963 –> 01:03:33,483
And we’ll see what the system does with him now.
1827
01:03:33,483 –> 01:03:34,283
Charlie LaDuff,
1828
