TRANSCRIPTS:

Well, Abdul’s commercials are running now and his lawn signs are everywhere, but they’re thin like his resume. Paper thin. Let me explain.

He became a doctor to help people. He’s not a real doctor, he’s a paper doctor. He doesn’t have a license, never had a patient, he can’t even give away aspirin off an ambulance.

He rebuilt the health department after the politicians tore it down. As far as I could tell, he’s only had two real jobs in his life. First, he stopped here in the city of Detroit, had a quick cup of coffee as the city health director.

While there, money through his department was funneled into the pet program of Mayor Mike Duggan’s mistress, one designed to reduce infant mortality. This is a terrible situation. And after just 16 months on the job, Abdul got gone.

The Duggan mistress scandal exploded after he tried to destroy the evidence and infant mortality. It went through the roof. I have to choose between protecting the interests of the city or protecting my family.

That’s the Abdul way, baby. A couple years later, he gets the top medical gig with Wayne County. Got thousands of glasses for kids, including me.

Yeah, glasses with Biden bucks. That’s not a fix. Nothing really got fixed in Abdul’s two years here in Wayne County.

In fact, life expectancy in Detroit, Wayne County’s biggest city, is plummeting. Medicare for all would be the de facto insurer for everybody. Medicare for all? Like Canada? It’s so bad over there they come here for a doctor.

Medicare for all. Come on man, time to stop talking and start working. Live from downtown Detroit, it’s the new bullshit news hour with my main man, Charlie LeDuc, and Gary Neumann.

Let’s just break it up. No more bullshit. No more bullshit.

Is this the hole-in-one? It’s a hole-in-one, $50,000 if you hit it. Luke Nowacki, financial wealth management. What is 50 grand after tax? 37,750.

What about state tax? Yeah, I’m throwing both in there. What about sales tax? There’s no sales tax. Well, you’re buying the beer.

There’s income. You buy the beer. Eh, we rate that off.

Luke Nowacki, financial wealth management. 248-663-4748. Well, you know when it rains, the power goes out.

And when the power goes out, the internet goes out. When the internet goes out, I call my friend Matt and Bernie at XG Service Group. Look at Bernie here on his hands and knees, giving it everything he’s got.

Look at that man crack. So busy, he forgot to wear a belt. There’s Matt right there getting the board together.

That’s 734-245-4100. If you need Matt and Bernie to come take care of your voice over internet, your security cameras, off-campus access control, Wi-Fi and cameras for homes and business, they’ll design it for you. You got restaurants, they do drive-through systems, railroad cameras for public safety, total wireless camera systems for your home and business.

Yeah, that’s right. Call XG Services at 734-245-4100. Come on.

Come on in. Zoom it in, Mark. Well, you’re doing it.

I was talking to a city worker, supervisor, and I won’t mention his name or his department. And the scuttlebutt going around with the workers is maybe layoffs, maybe cuts. And he said to me, I’ve been meaning to call Luke Nowacki.

I got to protect my nest egg. And I encouraged him, you know what I mean? Like, do it now. Yeah.

Or the new thing too is when you get to a certain age and maybe start needing money that you invested like that, you never know how much to pull out. No, I don’t. It’s kind of frightening, but it’s nice to have Luke hold your hand.

I won’t say how many years the man is on the job. He’s very vindictive down here, but you know, he wants to retire and then find another gig for the last 10 years and you know, semi-retirement. I get it.

Yeah. So Luke Nowacki, 248-663-4748. Now let me tell you a story.

A cop recently told me about a call he got from a rich white dude complaining about a suspicious black dude roaming around his neighborhood. Now cops hate those kinds of calls, puts them in a bad spot, but cops have to respond to calls. So he did.

Turned out the black guy was an Amazon driver and naturally the white man had a sign in his yard that read Black Lives Matter. And now there’s a new sign on the white guy’s lawn. Abdul for U.S. Senate.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is running on a platform of good union jobs, money out of politics, and Medicare for all. Okay, cool. I mean, but I don’t understand the attraction here.

It’s doubtful the rich white guy ever worked in a factory or has to worry about his medical bills. Let’s call it virtue signaling for virtue’s sake. Takes the sting out of white privilege.

For you workday humps who’d like to know something about the candidate beyond the slick 30-second commercials, it’s worth noting that El-Sayed never worked in a factory and aside from some part-time gigs at various colleges, his resume is thin, very thin. The first thing you need to know is that El-Sayed is a paper doctor, as you just saw. He’s never treated a patient, is not licensed in Michigan, and can’t even prescribe aspirin to a dog.

He’s never passed his board exams. The second thing you need to know is that El-Sayed, who’s 41, has worked just two real jobs in his adult life, totaling less than four years. According to his own resume, I took out little college gigs, and he lists as a job he ran for governor in 2018.

That’s not a job. And then this is the guy who wants to be a senator for life. Now, what’s troubling here is where he worked and what he actually accomplished, because I was here.

Now, I’ve been here since 2008. I got a good memory. Abdul was appointed as the top public health official in Detroit, and then Wayne County.

Both departments are an historical quagmire of corruption and incompetence. Believe me, I know. I helped put one director behind bars for, among other things, embezzling public health dollars to pay for his hair plugs, which didn’t take.

Now, for his part, El-Sayed was appointed as Duggan’s health director in 2015 by then-mayor Mike Duggan. At that time, as the city was emerging from its historic bankruptcy, El-Sayed’s health department was funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars into a pet program run by Duggan’s mistress. Remember? The program was supposed to lower infant mortality rates in the city.

Now, after just 16 months on the job, quick cup of coffee. He says he rebuilt the health department that was privatized before bankruptcy. To be specific, he was hired a year after the health department was reinstated.

He hung out for less than a year and a half, and then he resigned to run for governor. It’s called a quick cup of coffee. Then Mr. Skate exploded.

Duggan tried to delete all the evidence, and guess what happened with infant mortality? Skyrocketed. In fact, in the 10 years since Sayed took the job, infant mortality in Detroit is higher. What accomplishment? Nothing changed.

Now, to El-Sayed’s credit, before resigning as health director, he commissioned a report that showed Duggan’s demolition blitz was poisoning the city’s children. That program, Duggan’s demolition blitz, is now the subject of a sprawling FBI investigation. However, El-Sayed, the candidate, has said little to nothing about it.

Now, a couple of years and a couple of more coffees later, El-Sayed was appointed in 2023 as the medical chief of Wayne County. Now, according to his own campaign commercial, El-Sayed’s biggest accomplishment was a partnership with a nonprofit that supplied 16,000 eyeglasses to needy children. What the commercial does not tell you is that the nonprofit had existed for a decade beforehand, and that the county’s portion for the eyeglasses was funded primarily by Biden’s COVID bucks.

One time, inflationary federal dollars, printed out of nowhere, is no solution to a health crisis. That’s not a resume. That is just taking one-time federal dollars, spending it, and taking some useless credit.

All the while, life expectancy in Detroit continues to crater from pre-pandemic levels, hovering around 70 years old. It was 72. This is not a good health system, and it’s hardly an effective record.

There’s also serious questions about El-Sayed’s campaign finance problems, including indications of straw donors, actual contributors blowing past legal limits, and a super PAC that’s committed to spending millions of dollars on his behalf. And right now, about half of that funding for this super PAC that he wants to take money out of politics, half the money raised so far is from his daddy-in-law. Who’s his dad-in-law? The father of his wife.

I don’t know. I didn’t write it down. Why’s he got such an interest? Working people.

Medicare for all. Okay. Then there are the disturbing questions regarding the mental fitness of those he surrounds himself with, including a former staffer charged with terrorism, a current staffer who says that all white women are racist, and ironically, that staffer herself is a white woman, but she’s not a racist because she’s oppressed.

And then the prominent podcaster who once said America deserved 9-11. I was there 25 years ago. I don’t think a mass murder of secretaries is deserved.

Have you been around in life and saw one of these women’s head impaled on a girder? Maybe you wouldn’t think that way, but it’s real easy to talk. And in fact, you like to talk with your thumbs, and you deleted three years of social media, interestingly, from the start of the pandemic in the summer of Floyd all the way to 2023, the end of the pandemic, when you start working at the county. And what did you delete? Cops are a standing army.

It’s fascism. Border patrol agents are white supremacists. The usual post Floyd tropes.

Wow. Now, if you’d spend any time in the world instead of the marbled halls of Columbia University, you might know that the vast majority of border patrol agents are Latinos. Fucking A, but these are all stories for another day.

So go ahead. It’s cool. It’s America and plant your yard signs, rich white guy.

It’s your right. Just remember you reap what you sow. He’s got a ton of yard signs out there right now, too.

I’m around where I live. I was talking with Ken about it. You know, there’s none in Detroit, really, and there’s none in Hamtramck.

And Ken said, well, maybe he’s far ahead in these areas and that the battlegrounds. Right. Yeah.

Pretty rich white guy. The virtue signaling the white women. Yeah.

Right. Southern Oakland County. Yeah.

That’s the split. Because, you know, maybe you can pull some stuff from Haley Stevens, Mallory McMurrow. You know, maybe that’s it.

I thought it was an interesting point. I’m not into politics like that. Is he leading right now for the Democrats? Is he the is he on top? Is it Stevens? You have any idea? I don’t know.

Some polls like, you know, it’s because I guess I don’t know anything about any of them, really. Very little. Yeah.

Other than what they put out there, which is why which is why I like the piece. I just wonder if he gets votes because he is pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel, probably the or simply if he’s because he because he’s a guy, the very active wing of of the Democratic Party. That’s what I hate about primary way left.

Right. Yeah. You see, everybody’s got a pander to that.

And then how do you come back to the middle? Now, again, I’m not one. I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I don’t know about polls.

They’re, you know, all the ones we’re getting around here are wrong. Sure. Hillary was supposed to win Michigan.

Kamala was supposed to win Michigan. It didn’t happen. So I don’t know.

You know, just we’re going to inform people. It’s just funny to me. He seems like the flavor of the month almost, you know? Yeah.

But, you know, some people say, yeah, he wins two years from now. He runs for president. I don’t see that.

You know, and I don’t I don’t get it. Like if you look at Mamdani in New York, right, if landlords don’t keep up their buildings and we keep we keep hitting you with fines and fines and you don’t make improvements, we’re going to we’re going to take the building from you. The city is going to manage it.

I spent a lot of years in New York. Do you know there’s something called the New York City Housing Authority? I would assume, you know, they have a housing department. Yeah.

The big housing projects like the Brewsters used to be or Cabrini Green used to be a project that don’t work. Section eights. Yeah.

The failed experiments of like putting people in towers. Yeah. OK.

Very. And I used to live in Queens in a story near near a story. It’s Long Island City the Queens Bridge projects notoriously fetid.

Boilers breaking down, vermin, air conditioning breaking down. It’s like horrible. New York City can’t manage what it has.

It’s a repackaged slum, right? It is a slum. Yeah. You know, and run by a bunch of people together tightly in poor conditions.

What do you expect? Yeah. Yeah. And we need affordable housing.

Where’s the sensibility in anything? Yeah. Yeah. That’s why it’s not to go off topic too much, but it’s interesting to see that bipartisan housing bill pass.

I don’t know if it’ll do anything, maybe because I’m skeptical, but what’s it about? So it’s it’s limiting in the past, you know, 95 to five in the Senate, excuse me, in its limits, Wall Street’s, you know, the hedge funds buying up a bunch of houses, regular housing stock, which that just seems obvious, right? That’s common now. I think there’s always a loophole in a way around it, right? Yeah. Which yeah.

So, but the whole idea is to make these houses more affordable. Well, if they’re more people are going to buy them, that price is going to go up too, but, but it’s making more houses on the market. It’s also cutting bureaucracy to build new homes, which I think a lot of home builders will appreciate.

Yeah. Well, you know, you, you want, um, competition. You, if people want houses, then, then they’re, they’re actually having them.

If you take wall street out of it. Yeah. Well, then that dips the competition and the price goes down and let real people have a shot at it.

It seemed, it seemed sensible. I’m so for it. And like, I was just shocked when I saw it.

Don’t forget the, the, the repealing. And this was led by bill Clinton and the Democrats, right? Rubin secretary treasurer Rubin to repeal glass Stiegel, you know, uh, capital minimums in the bank, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Low income, uh, loans to get people in the houses.

Wall street took over. We got the, uh, synthetic derivatives. It blew up the world economy.

We never put glass Stiegel back. We never got wall street under control. Nobody ever went to prison again.

That’s just the middle of the road fucking thing. So instead of fixing that, you know what I mean? We’re going to try to end run it and, and, and, and find government housing fix. The market’s been skewed by big business.

Indeed money in politics. Indeed, which the Supreme court said is legal, right? And big government, they screwed it all up clearly like Obamacare. It’s a disaster.

Obamacare. There are now more people without insurance than before Obamacare prices have gone through the roof. Why? Because they mandated that insurance companies make you buy all kinds of crazy shit.

Like a list of 10 in the old days, you could just buy doctor visit and cataclysmic, right? That’s what most people did. Now, like you and I, we have to buy maternity care. Yeah.

It’s all rolled in. I don’t have kids. I can’t, I’m sorry what the far left says.

I can’t have kids. All I know is that I’m getting priced out of insurance. Yeah.

And then I, yeah. Okay. It goes like this.

Big government decides we’re going to do this. The very poor Medicaid. It’s great.

You don’t pay anything. Yeah. You don’t pay, you got to wait.

There’s not a lot of doctors that want to, you know, take the lower rates of Medicaid. So there’s a very thin amount. Same with Obamacare.

Okay. But for the middle class that used to pay for all this, they’re the ones being priced out. Yeah.

You know why? Because they left a loophole in there. There’s a profit cap for insurance companies. Okay.

If the cost of everything was $900, right. They’re allowed to tack on a hundred dollars. Let’s say 10%.

It’s a profit cap. So it’s in the interest of the insurance company to let costs run wild because if it costs $2,000 now for everything, they get 200 bucks. You see what I’m saying? Yeah.

Then they did this, did this. Let’s mess with your deductible. Okay.

So deductible high deductible, call it 7,500 bucks. You’re paying a thousand dollars a month, right? For your premium. It’s more than that.

What is this? What is this policy? Can I get on it? Yeah, exactly. It’s my, my biggest expense every month is healthcare premiums. Yes.

And my deductible is more than your mortgage. Oh yeah. Wow.

About 50% more than my mortgage. Wow. It’s all.

And you know what? It pays for nothing. And what’s your deductible? My deductible is why you want to figure out what my mortgage is. No, no, no.

It’s about 1,500 a month. Your deductible. Oh, my deductible.

I’m sorry. That was my premium. My deductible is about 7,800.

Yeah. They’d skyrocket. Yeah.

I never, I’ve never, thankfully never hit it. I don’t ever want to hit my deductible because that means something terrible had happened to me. But that’s what comes first.

But it’s still cheaper to buy meds with, you know, my Costco membership than it is running it through my insurance. So that never comes off the deductible either. It’s, I don’t know what I’m paying for at this point.

I’m paying for, I guess if I ever get hit by a bus or something. Exactly. You know, but you can’t just buy cataclysmic now going back to what you were saying.

Yeah. It fucking crazy. So the deductible keeps going up.

Why? So the insurance company doesn’t have to do the administrative work to get the claim, right? So that’s saving you money right off the rip. And two, you’re paying premiums while you’re paying for the low level healthcare, anything under 7,500 bucks. So when big government, Oh, and by the way, but I, yeah, you want to know another mechanism, how, uh, Obamacare is funded by the way, it’s deficit funded student loans, student loans.

The, the government got into right. Student loans inflated the lot of them. Yeah.

And most of them, you can still get them from the bank, but it’s primarily through the federal government. Our kids are taking out these outrageous loans at high interest rates. Part of the interest rate goes to pay for Obamacare.

So our kids can’t afford insurance. They take out a fuck load of money to go to college to get a worthless degree. And then they’re paying for everybody else.

The young, we totally fucked them. And I understand why they’re angry. I really do.

And it’s gotta be fixed. Well, I’m old and I’m angry. I mean, there seems to be a lot of focus on, you know, which, you know, there’s a lot of focus on people without means.

Absolutely. That’s kind of what government to me is supposed to be about, right. Leveling the playing field.

But there also seems to be a lot of worry about people that have a lot of means. And I’m like, what about, what about me in the middle here? Right. The one getting fucked.

Like I, I thought I was the one getting fucked. It’s making a pretty decent amount of money, but why do I feel like I’m living scraping paycheck to paycheck at age 50? It’s just because you are on my head. Well, this is supposed to be the old days of America, right? When big business was under control, big banks weren’t so big.

Government wasn’t so huge. Everybody got their figures in it. This was supposed to be the time everything 50 and over you’re stacking, like you, you got it, you got your house, your kids are gone.

You know what I mean? And you’re stacking to be old. It’s not like that now. No, not at all.

I mean, talk to, talk to anybody that’s on, you know, a fixed income, right? The biggest worry for old people is outliving their money. That’s a, yeah. I mean, what are we going to do? Why am I thinking about that at age 50? I don’t feel like I should, but I don’t, I don’t know.

So, so what do we get? Like lousy fair capitalism or, you know, uh, government grocery stores? Yeah. Neither of those are the answer. No.

And you’re referring to Mondami’s government run groceries. I mean, it’s been tried many times. Has it really? I’m just saying like the whole socialist deal doesn’t work and else I should know it because, well, I think that’s why he’s popular too, is he’s very, give me something.

I’m dying out here. Okay. But the, the response is not honest and it won’t work.

I’ll give you an example. Who was chairman of the Senate budget committee under Biden? Oh God. I have no idea.

Bernie Sanders. Did anything structural get changed? No. What did we do? Printed a bunch of money.

There was no structural reset, no Glass-Steagall coming back in no bake, breaking up the big banks. You know, that’s not socialist. That’s capitalistic.

All we do is print money. Everything went through the roof. And now we’re talking about the, what’s the, uh, a barrel of crude oil today’s about 70 bucks with the Iran shit going on.

Yeah. Adjust it for inflation through his whole four years, Biden’s whole four years, adjust it for inflation. The average cost for a, uh, a barrel of crude was nearly 90.

And I didn’t see CNN putting up a gas ticker. Sure. And the reason was you were hostile to energy that, that administration and you printed too much money.

Well, they were hostile towards old energy, hostile towards or towards old energy fossil fuels. Yeah. Which is you asked me before the show, like why the UAW would endorse El Sayed when he’s on record as saying he wants to abolish the internal combustion engine, which is more efficient.

We’re finding out I was in electric cars, dumbfounded by that when they endorsed them, it made no sense to me, but well, things have changed. So here you go, folks. I just, this is from memory.

Okay. So you do your own research, but the UAW has changed in the UAW about the, uh, their membership. A hundred thousand are auto workers.

Okay. A hundred thousand auto workers in the UAW, 130,000 members of the UAW are academics, teaching assistants, grad students. That’s where they went to get membership and keep alive.

So there’s more pinheads, which I get. I get why you, you need to add members because you’re a business and you do. Yeah.

We got bills. Totally get it. Okay.

And then maybe a hundred thousand are bureaucrats, public service workers. So by two to one margin, auto workers are outnumbered by university pinheads and big government bureaucrats. Wow.

Exactly where, uh, El Sayed comes from. I bet you that the rank and file auto worker probably went for Haley Stevens, who was Obama’s, uh, point person, chief of staff on the auto bail out. So it’s, it’s not what it looks like.

I feel just like it’s, it’s a chase the money, follow the money game who can do more for us. That’s why these podcasts, they’re good because they could get information out there. And again, thank you all for, you know, tuning in, try to take care of yourself.

This what’s going on. It’s like, I, who was I talking to? It doesn’t matter who I was talking to, but, uh, you really got to blame the media for a lot of this because, you know, even in the old days, you know, it had a bent to it, but it tried to be honest and it would look into all this stuff. And we don’t do that anymore.

You know what I mean? We just don’t, we pick a side and we go like, uh, another one. Well, it’s also easier to, um, just parrot what these people want you to bear it. So you can put out 170 or whatever it is now, 240 character statement.

It’s amazing. It’s not real. It’s not real.

Obamacare was sold to us. It was going to bring down medical inflation back then. And all it really was, was a, a move to take money from the middle-class pay for the lower classes.

I don’t want to say lower class poor. Yeah. And now you fuck the people that went along with you.

Now we have mayhem. I know it all too well. I do too.

You know, it’s funny. I would tell you the story about, uh, going to Puerto Rico and I had to take my daughter to the hospital there. I don’t know if I shared that or not.

Uh, this is just back in March when we were down there and she had a, it was around 104 fever for five days. So I’m like, we got to do something. The, the hotel doctor wouldn’t, wouldn’t come.

So it’s like, okay, so I’m kind of trying to research online what it is. And then basically just take you to the hospital because their insurance works differently down there. There’s no urgent care.

There’s no nothing. So I go to the hospital, spend a few hours there. Thankfully she’s okay.

They give her a shot of steroid. It feels better. It’s great.

Checking out. I’m like, did I get a bill? Do I have to, am I discharged? What am I doing here? And they’re like, nah, just leave. So I’ve been waiting to figure if I get a bill.

I finally got a bill for a hospital visit in Puerto Rico. No insurance or anything. 180 bucks.

180 bucks for me to go to the hospital here. I have to immediately pay two 50 on the copay, right? Plus whatever it is before my deductible. Yeah.

It’s like, how can that be? So now I feel like the care was better up here because they missed a few things down there, but it’s, I don’t know. It’s just that variance of price was just mind boggling. Well, we’d have to look into it.

Yeah. You know, Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States are heavily subsidized by the United States. I don’t know.

Believe me, I don’t want their medical system having experienced it, but I was just surprised at how far off the money was no way in God’s green earth. Medical care should cost as much in this country. I agree with that.

Yeah. Medicare for all you ask the Canadians. That thing is cratered.

Yeah. We need a, we need a redo. Yeah.

At the very least let’s go, let’s go back before Obamacare it’s too, it’s too late. Big business and big government are in bed. Yeah.

Here’s what I’m sorry, but I know, believe me, we’ll look at two other candidates. You know, uh, another thing in the campaign literature of El Sayed is, uh, we managed to forgive $700 million in medical debt. Okay.

In Wayne County. Seems like a good thing. It’s amazing.

Seven. How did you do that for that? Okay. First of all, they go through a nonprofit.

It’s either you can do the nonprofit, you know, when your debt is purchased by a debt collection agency, they buy it for pennies on the dollar one penny on the dollar 1% they’re taking the risk. They’re going to be able to get the money from it. Right? Like, so, you know, so they buy it for nothing, whatever they get, if they can scare you into 50%, good for them, you know? Um, so what the County’s simply doing is using a nonprofit who buys the debt at 1%.

Wow. So 700 million, what’s 1% of 700,000, 7 million. Okay.

Now 5 million of that were the Biden bucks. It was just a drink of money. Here you go.

Right. That was given to the nonprofit because all the Biden bucks got to be spent by the end of this year. So they haven’t spent it.

It’s sitting there and probably over a couple of years, I have very good faith that they will spend it properly. The other 2 million, okay. Is the County’s indigent fund.

We all on our property taxes, stuff, little nickel over here and there, 2 million bucks for the indigent medical care. That’s now going to go to pay these old bills. But what that means is we took $2 million from current indigent people getting medical care and they’re going to be funded $2 million less.

Get what I’m saying? Yeah. Which for instance, my friend read, yeah. Who had all kinds of difficulties trying to pay for a catastrophic injury, can’t work.

Right. So 2 million less, which makes me feel like it’s going to lead to more debt, right? At least less, less healthy, which will have to be paid off. It’s almost like a circle.

Yeah. So this was no solution. Oh God.

Which the reason I bring that up is because Whitmer did it yesterday. Oh, Whitmer, another 74 million to go with 140 million last year of debt forgiveness, my gift to you. Okay.

74 million is $704,000. Okay. Okay.

At 1%. Yeah. Whitmer didn’t do that.

The legislature did that. They set the budget. They vote on it.

They control the purse strings. It’s bullshit. It’s not a fix.

Well, a good politician. Someone that always takes credit for what was done. So we go back to the white dude, the rich guy with the law side.

I really liked them. This is really amazing what they’re doing. They’re not doing shit.

You didn’t rebuild any health system. I think red’s getting out. Really? That’s great.

Yeah. I talked to him yesterday. He sounded good.

Yeah. And, uh, he was laughing good. I think he was in court today for some procedural shit on the, on the guy that ran him over.

So let me see. So red’s now moving into his ex’s house. You know, I mean, we, what solution here? Nobody’s addressing all the fraud.

Well, my, my thought is, is he going to be just drowning in debt now? Are they going to try and collect? How about the, the Turkish guy, the guy that pick up in Turkey, like $4 billion in Medicaid fraud. Oh yeah. How about all the hospice fraud in court? There’s a lot of money in insurance just never seems to go where it’s supposed to.

Yeah. But like the government programs for us, it’s for us. It’s for my friend red.

It’s for my dying mom. And we’re struggling to find it. And we’re doing all of this nonsense.

We’re not looking after anything. No, no. Our people first.

Right. Crazy. Okay.

Um, might as well say this. There’s a saying here at the American Coney Island. What’s the bag of his shirts.

It is made in Detroit. You don’t win friends with salad. You don’t win friends with salad.

You don’t win friends with salad, which is ironic. It’s kind of true. Yeah.

But what’s ironic is the salads here at the Coney Island are on freaking believable, but you’re supposed to eat a Coney with them. Yeah. Okay.

Fine. I’m I’m I’m riffing on a salad. I mean, just to let you know, like gourmet olives, fresh feta cheese.

Nice. The lettuce is crisp. You can get the Euro kind of lettuce.

Huh? What kind of lettuce? Uh, romaine. Nice butter. Yeah.

Chopped fresh iceberg daily. Good. I mean, just, just that I’m very picky.

It’s a wonderland over here at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Lafayette, the big slice of pie, red, white, blue building, American Coney Island since 1917. All right. Speaking of, uh, speaking of Detroit health and all this, this demolition shit is, is why did the feds? Yep.

Yep. They’re, they’re everywhere. And the scuttlebutt is, um, mayor, Mary Sheffield’s got some real problems because remember, even though she lied to us, she was sleeping with lover boy who poisoned the city while voting on contracts.

And this guy didn’t have construction insurance on, on like 10 consecutive jobs of like a thousand houses. Maybe. How does that happen? How does that happen? How was there nobody overseeing that? Right.

And now all the subcontractors are in line. I never got paid. Like the feds are all in this shit.

I mean, you get work done at your house in most contractors. I know are like, yep. Nope.

Got to have it, got to be licensed and bonded. And here’s proof of it before I’m doing any work. So is this thousands of houses now? You know, we know for a fact that a lot, and it’s, it’s bad, dude.

It’s badly contaminated. It’s got heavy metals in it. It’s basically ground up highways.

That’s what they’re doing. Imagine breathing in highway dust. Okay.

It’s supposed to go to special landfill. That shit’s so toxic. That’s why it matters.

They dumped it in Detroit. They dug it out. They tested it too hot to handle causes cancer, brain damage, you name it.

And the office of inspector general and the FBI is looking into this. I know from very, very solid sources. Some of it came from that Northland development site.

Yeah. And as we reported, they moved these big piles and they took the big cement pieces out of it. Right.

So now the piles are to the North of the site near the hospital and the daycare. Yeah. And the big pieces of cement they pulled out are now in a little mountain.

And now when you pull up and you look and you look at this little mountain of cement, you go like this, that’s a fucking highway. Yeah. Holy fucking shit.

So some of the soil there, like, again, I don’t have any analytics and stuff. Right. I’m trying to get the analytics.

I’m getting stonewalled by the state, but some of the soil there is being sifted and sold as topsoil. What really? Yeah. Huh? Uh-huh.

So I call Eagle, the department of energy, great lakes and environment. They’re supposed to be looking over it, right? They’re supposed to, well, we’re going to give jurisdiction to the city, but what if the city like Detroit, they have an incentive not to, I don’t want to call him corrupt, but we’ll let that happen, but, um, you’re supposed to be looking out for us. Yeah.

The EPA. Yeah. Nothing.

The health departments, city of Detroit else. I Ed’s thing. Nothing.

No side himself. No Tanahar. No to leave.

No Gary Peters, no Slotkin, no Whitmer. Why? Everybody now knows what Doug and took a big Pratt ball. He’s out.

Everybody knows what’s going on and nobody’s trying to protect us. Yeah. I wonder, I mean, that doesn’t make any sense as to why they don’t know Doug and anything, they don’t owe him any protection anymore.

Well, look, man, this thing’s so massive, they’re all protecting each other. Yeah. Big government again.

Yeah. To me, it doesn’t work, man. If you got even a whiff of this, you’re coming out publicly.

Let’s get to the bottom of it. Nothing. Well, as you pointed out to clean it up, it’s going to be a massive amount of money.

You know, when you FOIA something, freedom of information, they got three weeks to get you the info. Okay. The MEDC, Michigan economic development court, right? The coffee pot people, right? Yeah.

They said, uh, we found, uh, 250 pages of documents. It takes about three hours, two and a half hours to go over them. Redact what needs to be done.

It costs you 105 bucks. So okay. Here’s the 105 bucks.

We’ll, we’ll get back to you in four, four months, four months. You’ve got three weeks to take that long. Yeah.

That’s illegal. Yeah. But guess who’s holding their feet to fight nobody.

And I had a lawsuit against the state. You’re not allowed to do that. Nobody joined me on my lawsuit.

I’ll do it. People fuck it. I’ll do it.

I’ll do it. Oh, by the way. So, um, Whitmer, the Gordie hub bridge, this was it by Whitmer part there with her 74 million, but I digressed out of there.

We’re going to have it on Bailey. Everybody’s coming. Snyder’s coming.

Whitmer’s coming. The premier of Canada’s coming. We’re going to open the bridge.

We’re not going to open the bridge, man. That looks stupid. Uh, Chris long, the AI guy, he made a little something here.

Let’s let’s look at what he. Trump just called the bridge is not opening today. Whitmer’s legacy failure.

This is a, I generally have not paid for it. I mean, for the reasons, I got to get together with that guy. Yeah.

He does really good work. Do you write the script? Does it write the script? Do you prompt it? What, you know, what do you talk? Do you type if I know which one he uses too? Yeah. There you go.

There you go. And how much she’s killed Celine by doing it. What do you mean? Well, just AI takes up a lot of energy.

Every time you ask Google a question, you’re killing, killing Celine. That’s okay. Tricky situation.

That’s okay. Cause, uh, Jocelyn Benson, her husband going to make tens and tens and tens and tens and tens and tens and tens and tens of billions of dollars on it. Her husband is the chief lobbyist for that thing.

And like Whitmer said, uh, what was the quote? We just got on the hot mic. Something I’m going to paraphrase here that, uh, they tell us not to do something, but we fucking do it anyway. Yeah.

Fuck these clouds, right? They’re, they’re believing it’s politicians, man. They’re believing, uh, the press releases and whatever the mainstream media is telling them that we, we got this fucking crazy Jocelyn Benson’s husband, the lead on this Celine deal. You know what he did? Yeah.

I was just going to ask you, what is he? What is this? What is this? Stephen Ross? Yeah. Who Jocelyn Betsy used to work for? Yeah. Cause it’s sessuous.

Her husband, uh, Ryan Friedrich was Duggan’s right-hand guy, uh, charge of raising money, I think. Right. And he was one of the culprits mentioned in an, uh, OIG investigation.

One of the culprits that instructed Duggan staff to delete the emails, anything referring to the city and his mistress who was running the nonprofit, the save the date that Cy Edwards department was funneling the money through. See how this works. I’ve been around a while.

I’ve been around a while. It just, it just feels so hopeless. Okay.

Now back to the dirt that everybody will ignore us. I won’t help us. They want it to go away.

They want it to go away. Going away. And you know, when Duggan said, oh, you know, it’s just a couple of, a couple of lots and they shouldn’t cost more than 80 grand.

I left more than enough money. It was a lie. There’s nobody.

They are shit themselves in city hall. I got people everywhere. Okay.

18,000, uh, put up this latest contract, by the way, we sniffed it out. They kicked it. They’ve kicked it.

Right. But I’m gonna let everybody know. So this is one lot to take out the poison dirt, deposit it for real in a landfill, and then bring in clean dirt.

How much is that Mark? Uh, 100% blight funding total contract amount. 92,880, $92,880 for a house that costs way too much to demolish 25 grand or whatever it was. 92,880 dollars.

Yeah. Okay. Let’s just call that a hundred grand.

And we’ve got right now they’ll admit to 600 lots. That’s for one location. Yeah.

Holy shit. Holy. Well, no wonder they want to ignore it.

Uh-huh. Now, you know what I mean? Realistically, where will this money come from? Great question. Nobody will answer.

Everybody’s hiding. The only people I got an answer from were the Republican candidates for governor. The debate that you moderated.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

So, you know, uh, John James wasn’t there, man. I don’t know, John. You better answer this dude.

If you want to be the main man, you can’t leave Southfield in the Detroit aching like this. So they committed to helping the people. Um, as soon as Jocelyn Benson comes out of her badger hole, I asked, she got the money, she could pay for it herself.

Yeah. Yeah. Fucking empty shell.

Motherfucker. This is terrible. Yeah.

Anyway, I’m depressed. That’s the news. Really uplifting.

Oh, come on, man. I’m just kidding. Somebody needs a news program at this time.

I’m, I’m glad. Let me crack jokes all day long. It’s Borden, but it’s, it just, you want me to crack jokes all day long.

Is that what we’re doing? Please. All right. Michael Jackson.

Oh, great. Got to do Netflix special. Right.

What’s that called? Do you know? Uh, is it the trial of Michael Jackson? Yeah. Yeah. Which I covered folks to his 2005.

I covered it. Well, I didn’t really cover it myself. So with the New York times, LA bureau.

So this thing went on for four months. So the bureau chief, excuse me, John Broder, uh, Nick, I forget Nick’s last name’s escape me, uh, and myself, we would rotate. We take like a week or two weeks.

Cause it was in central California, right? Santa Barbara County probably took forever to get to beautiful up there. So I covered portions of it. Like when he was dancing on the roof.

Oh yeah. I was there and I’m watching like, where am I? I was, I was like right there. I’m like, where am I? Like, I don’t appear in this motherfucker once.

I know. That’s funny. I was looking for you while I was watching it.

Um, what is the reaction amongst people covering it when that loon jumps on top of a roof and starts dancing? Okay. We’re going to go this way. I I’ve got to be honest.

I’m not Diane diamond. She made her career on this and in this documentary, she’s pulling out the notebooks. I got life to, I don’t remember a lot of it, so I’m watching.

I’m like, Oh yeah, but I mean, it’s a circus. Yes. Okay.

So let’s start with this, like some jokes. I got to cover this, right? And we all, three of us got to go up for the first couple of days, right? Cause it’s the world event. Yeah.

Michael Jackson, a child of century, this guy, like how many childhoods does a grown man need? What is, what did Drew say? He groomed the whole world. He did. He grew in the whole world because he’s a really good musician.

Like I still like Jackson five. I still like some Jackson songs. I, I just, this world of absolutism of he’s either a monster or he’s a genius.

It’s like, yeah, he’s a genius. Monster could be a both. Yeah.

Oh, he did it. We’ll get to that. But, but he groomed the whole world in that he’s a wacky artist.

He’s just eccentric, right? He just loves children. He loves all children so much. That’s why he’s doing so much with them.

I mean, everybody, I mean, I remember growing up going that, that guy’s weird. That’s a weirdo. But I never once thought that he was masturbating to these children and masturbating them.

Not, not even when he was a $27 million settled when that, I mean, when that trials came on, the information came out, I just mean, I mean, when I’m well before the trial, when I was 12, right? So that would have been 88. Okay. Yeah.

He was still wacky as shit. He was weird. He had taken Emmanuel Lewis on a date with him and Barbara Shields, he still had bubbles.

I mean, you knew the guy was weird, right? And that’s what I, that’s what I think is implied by you groom the whole world. It’s like, oh, that’s just a weird artist. That’s, you know, Elvis was weird.

Well, I, I, I just looked at it like I saw it and I’m like, he groomed the whole world. This is absolute fucking nonsense. Most likely, you know, he did.

I okay. So totally to me is another court. So of course it’s Michael Jackson, right? But I called my cousin, I was in LA, cracked a beer.

I go, okay, we got, we got a workshop. Some material here. And, and I came up with some jokes, most of them original, not all.

Uh, and I’m standing in line. It’s gotta be 500, a thousand deep international press, like trial of the century, and I just start cracking the jokes, right? And it’s like the BBC mates. It’s totally inappropriate.

Who are you with? And he looks at my press badge, the New York times. They fucking crack it on it. All right.

So once again, you can cover, you can fairly cover a trial and be inappropriate at the same time. Two things can be true. Dude.

Being a reporter is the best thing in the world. Like B live it. You know what I mean? Like I actually sat front fucking row.

Oh, he would, he would come in. I’m like, I need, you know, yeah, you know, you, you know me, man. Like I need detail.

I need something, all these fucking clowns in here from the BBC and everywhere else isn’t doing. So number one, remember used to wear the band-aids around his fingertips. Watch the documentary again and look at the state of his fingernails.

They’re gone. They’re gone. They’re scaly and gone.

You know what? That’s a classic earmark injecting dope under your nails. Really? Yeah. That’s what the band-aid is.

Adam, how did he die? Yeah. Oh no. He was a horrible.

Yeah. Horrible. Okay.

Why was he frail with the umbrella? Cause he was high as fuck. Yeah. So why did he go to the hospital during the middle of the trial and show up in his jammies the next day? Cause the judge told me to get his ass there.

Yeah. He ended up in the hospital. I, my guess is he was high.

He was high as a kite. Didn’t the documentary say that? Uh, did he go to the hospital and they heavily implied, well, they kept injecting cause he couldn’t sleep is what he said. So they kept injecting with more and more and they’re like, holy shit.

Look at this guy’s tolerance. I mean, that’s an addict, right? It all stems from when his, his Pepsi commercial, when his hair burn on fire. So like we’d all be seated at the lunch break after lunch break and then he’d come in and I’m like, I want him at motherfuckers wearing a bulletproof vest.

I’m one of that motherfuckers wearing a bulletproof vest. How am I going to do this? So everybody’s seated. Michael Jackson comes in and I wait around the corner from the metal detector and I come in after Michael Jackson.

He comes in and he walks to the, to the, to the bar, you know, the door and I come up, I right behind him and I put my hand.

And right on his back and I feel and I go fucking bulletproof vest man really fuck and when I put my hand on his back He he went To which I wrote apparently, mr. Jackson doesn’t like strange men touching him either That’s a great line Or did you have to add allegedly to it allegedly? I don’t know. I have to look it up So we came up with some some original material some not but most of it is I just jotted down before he came up Here’s one It’s what I’m telling in line to the International Press Corps I go yeah Yeah, I met Michael Jackson before and I go, where’d you meet him? I said a Malibu Beach I looked up after I heard hey, you’re in my son You Know why Michael Jackson only wore one glove why got to keep the pimp and strong You’re on a roll what else the morning of the trial they found Michael Jackson’s original nose. Yeah, you reported it It was a Macaulay Culkin’s ass I Which by the way Culkin one of the reasons he got off on that trial Huh, I think Culkin’s one of the reasons Michael got off on that trial was acquitted during that trial Yeah, cuz my only Culkin said everything was copacetic.

He’s the greatest guy in the world. I think celebrity fame blinds people to well It’s the kid from home alone, and there’s the king of pop but I was there when Jason Francia Francia yes He got the second settlement two million dollars, hmm It was Heart-wrenching it was grown man. Just broke down and bawled his eyes out He was the one they you know when he was masturbating him.

They asked him how long would it go for and he said a Cartoon and a half Oh two cartoons That’s a fucking kid who grew into a man and he shattered okay, you know what cartoon True story, you know cartooning. No, Woody Woodpecker. They’re serious.

Yeah now Good I was there when Gavin Arvizo’s mom. Yeah, you know this wasn’t a civil case. This was the criminal kid Gavin Arvizo And I wrote this too because I had gone back to late my shift was over, but you got to monitor it And then it come back and I’m watching her And I’m like you just you just look at Jason, you know the cavalcade of people regardless of Macaulay Culkin and Michael Jackson’s former wife who was gonna Turn on him and then turn that yeah I’m listening to his mother and they’re making all these allegations What he did and then she’s letting him fly anyway afterwards after she says she knew From an event that she let her boy go fly off with him and it was plain dude.

It was it was plain that You’re a gold-digger You offered all these people did you offered your kid up to him because you were entranced by the money sure by flying to Berlin Like it was you know, he grew lifestyle. He groomed poor broken families and Riches and experiences beyond their belief when you’re watching this you you can’t believe it and You just say there’s no credibility there. I’m firmly convinced.

He did it. There’s no doubt. Yeah But I understand why a jury wouldn’t sure it seemed Just from watching that Documentary, it seems like it was a very poorly prosecuted case.

I mean like you said Debbie row flipping Yeah, we bring a Debbie row on and she’s gonna save Michael Jackson all these things and then all of a sudden she doesn’t And the fact that they showed the whole Martin Bashir Documentary, which honestly really good documentary very entertaining. I mean you’re gonna be entertained by it Are you really gonna pull facts out of it? You know, I I don’t know that that was kind of a mistake Bashir didn’t help them on the stand Yeah, I don’t know if it was the documentary so much as it was Martin Bashir taking the fifth Yeah, and I can’t remember why why did he I don’t know If he ever came out and said why yeah in the documentary, yeah, it doesn’t really yeah, I forgot Yeah, I think it I think the belief is and hopefully someone correct me if I’m wrong The belief is it would hurt his reporting Past and future reporting like if he really led this kid on in interviews, which he was asked about a lot I think that was that was the viewpoint. I don’t know what methodology of gathering would have been in question.

Yes. Yeah again, I Don’t have the notebooks. I don’t keep them I I would rather have you report on the circus Anyway, what I what I have is a series of articles the best of the stuff in the notebook.

Mm-hmm, and that’s what do any more? Jokes. Oh, yeah You’re gonna have to see this one I Don’t know Charlie’s no standing on the desk Jackson’s pants never fit. Why they weren’t his Visuals what worth it But seriously They had a souvenir stand.

Yeah, did you know that I did not know that yeah, they had boys pants half-off. Oh Here Wow, I’m learning a lot about the trial. Okay.

I learned this at the trial. What’s that? Yes, Michael Jackson took baths with little boys, right, but he never blew bubbles Bubbles by the way still alive get the fuck out. I’ll see a picture of him.

Hey, really? Yeah He’s a bubsy boy, he’s retired in Florida Things he knows By the way, it says on here he does not like cameras I can only imagine why or being dangled out of windows. Yeah Living it up retirement in Florida So there’s a chimpanzee preserve. Yeah, that’s where he is.

Maybe we should go check it out. It could be the Tiger King part two They yeah, there was a Tiger King part two with chimps. Oh, there was yeah the guy that did the documentary Did another one that was on HBO? Chimp crazy or something.

I think it’s better than Tiger King. Did I see it? I think you did cuz I think we’ve talked about it before see that’s the thing How do you expect me a member to Michael Jackson doing real work? And I’m like, I don’t remember what I watch Yeah Listen, you know what they served for bedtime snacks. Well, what no Neverland.

Mm-hmm. I can’t I can’t imagine Jesus juice and little weenies You know time you knew what time it was when you went to bed at Neverland. Oh No, how when the big hands on the little one And My favorite gonna make some room up here got a laugh at this stuff Give me the wide shot here on it for those you just listening in your car.

Yes, I can Okay What’s the difference? between Neil Armstrong and Michael Jackson What I have no idea Back on it now, maybe that BBC guy was right Well, both things can be true What were you telling me I’d see you’re the you’re the pop culture King here Oh Wait, you brought up Emanuel Lewis. Oh, yeah.

I’m security guard He died Murray jumped on a car He don’t he beat a woman up at the mall because she complained he didn’t sign the autograph, right and the judge Made him go to anger management class, which angered the little man He was an angry man. Yeah Yeah in his adult life. He was still shopping in the boy section Serious, you can find that in the New York.

I believe that yeah Shit, that was a did you like hanging out with him? Yeah, it was cool. Yeah, that was that weird Government race wasn’t it wasn’t like the porn star Mary Carey wasn’t she? Yeah, it was the recall. That’s right What’s the fucking governor’s name Brown was a Gary Brown? No, no.

No, it’s after that. All right. Yeah Anyway, that was cool.

I I had dinner with Rodney King really? Yeah, dude drink, huh? No, good. See I wrote there Rodney King lived the American dream Which is he got a lawsuit got a million moved into a big house and subsequently smaller and smaller houses He was like, you know He’s having trouble with with the PCP and shit and I had gotten a hold of him and I had to drive way out to his little house in the desert You know interview him. Yeah, and Who is it? It’s a Charlie from from the New York Times Who say Charlie from the New York Times, so we had an interview Ronnie ain’t here A Walker yeah.

Oh boy. Yeah Yeah, he was in bad shape later on. I like that.

That’s the other part of his American dream is he ended up on reality TV That’s true. See there you go pop culture, but anyway, I go Rodney I know that’s you. I I know your voice.

He goes Rodney not here now get so eventually cleaned up a couple months later and because it was like the anniversary maybe and He was such a good dude Yeah, I was gonna say I can kind of understand why he’d have a habit might have a drinking. Oh, yeah I mean, you know, I get it. I’m so again.

I’m American, you know, I’m I’m Michigan all the way I I get it, but he was a brilliant guy. He was smart Funny he was low low-key soft-spoken and we were just talking and and neither of us could Understand how such a beautiful thought at a such a horrible moment is now a joke. Like can’t we all just get along? Yeah, no better words have been spoken yeah, it seems like the answer was no I I’m just not gonna agree with it.

I’m just not you stand up for yourself speak your mind, but yeah, I think we can I Considering everything we do a pretty pretty decent job. The whole world’s here. Yep.

You know, it helps Michael Jackson jokes We can all laugh together. Yeah But anyway you were I want to ask you about the Was it the Casio family? I don’t know Yeah, is that another settlement? Yeah, multiple settlements the Casio family five kids one girl was involved one became his friend what time was it was it After our visa do you have to the trial during all of it during the trial their father? Managed the hot hotel where he would always stay in New York City So when 9-eleven happened for instance, you know Jackson famously was in New York and tried to rent a car and was gonna drive cross-country with Elizabeth Taylor God, I wish they would have Wow but instead he stayed with this family for about four months the Casio family in New York City. Yeah.

Well, they lived in Jersey across the river. But yeah, so what exit So they you know defended Jackson they spent a lot of time with Jackson They were stayed at their house in Jersey. He would show anytime he was over, New York He would just show up a lot of times that like 2 in the morning with bubbles Which I don’t want to be woken up by a chimpanzee in the King of Pop in the middle of night So, but they defended they were on Oprah talking about how he never treated us poorly, you know, this is after his death They’re still holding after the trial after Okay, then HBO what about eight years has the documentary where people like Wade Robeson? There’s another guy to came forward and said, yeah, we we testifying in that trial too, but we were a lot we were molested as well Wait, who the Robeson’s Wade Robeson was a dancer Became a choreographer for okay They’re separate.

Yeah, so they see that documentary and then one of the kids sits his family down and says, you know what? Same Cassio kids Cassio kids. So they see this Robeson guy in a documentary. Yes Okay, and realize and they and they say okay we can drop the pretense Yeah, this happened to me and then the brothers were like this also happened to me and they realized oh We were all molested but we all kept his secrets The family paid him off.

The family had an NDA with them for five years. The problem is okay. So this is like 2000 and 19 This is about 2019 when they when they paid him off.

When did he die? Oh nine. Oh nine That documentary is like 2018 and 2019 they go to the estate and the estates like and the family pays him off why because they’re Talking. Yeah.

Well, they were afraid they were going to well, so the family knew Yeah at that point. Yeah, would the family know would know what? That Michael Jackson was molesting a bunch of young brothers bunch of young kids. Well, they compared notes No, you see what I’m saying though.

Oh, how did the estate know? Yeah, that’s a good question Maybe they did maybe they threatened to sue and then you know, you don’t settle unless you’re civilly sued Okay, most point and then you get this NDA. I forget how much it was. I want to say it was about 750,000 apiece, you know for five paid over five years problem is that five years runs up when the biopics coming out and they did not want them talking and So the last last I heard they were kind of negotiating that but then they went on 60 minutes Australian spilled everything So when when did they go on 60 minutes Australian about six months ago? Oh, yeah Oh, so that yeah, but a lot of you know, his fans are there they are vicious and They will defend and so they’ve been attacked since then because you know One of them’s a girl so it doesn’t kind of fit the narrative that he molested only boys.

All these people are lying I don’t believe it and just because he makes good music doesn’t mean people are gonna try and get money out of them It’s just once again, both things can be true. I got so much hate when Prince died Yeah, I go. He’s a great artist, but his shit ain’t gonna last like Michael Jackson’s.

No way Yeah, not like Jackson’s. Well, no, no Prince occasionally. Yeah Plus he had the Jackson 5 era, you know, it’s funny you artists can do bad things, right? Look at our Kelly people still love our Kelly’s music Chris Brown.

Not a good guy Argument like this is really You know, you just hear some Michael Jackson music come out. You’re like damn man, right? Mm-hmm. I Don’t know, you know Jerry Lee Lewis, I like his music, you know Nailed his cousin Elvis, right? No 13 year old.

It’s Chuck Berry Yeah, I mean you can like the art and realize that a bad person made it I don’t know why that’s so hard for fan bases to accept. But I mean, that’s why a lot of Bad people are artists that’s you know, there’s something different inside of you like yeah Yeah, I don’t know I want to go back and look at your stuff and read what you wrote about the trial because I do find that trial very Entertaining. Yeah, I probably shouldn’t but I do gonna rewatch it again.

But yeah What’s it called against that Netflix did my Jack’s trial Jackson? Yeah. Yeah. So there you go.

Mm-hmm I get into this gothery thing, but What the fuck? Yeah What the fuck I mean? I’m not surprised that she’s dead. I mean most people thought she was but then the demand ransom for a dead bodies. Well I’m not surprised.

She’s dead and you guys got wed that she was dead and you just led the public on this whole Ratings bonanza. Yeah, Harvey Levin at TMZ wants to made the FBI a deal I know will be the go-between to make a document and he goes the FBI stiff me. I don’t know why it’s because you’re a whore Harvey fucking He’s a smart whore I’ll give him that Alright, listen everybody.
