Transcript:
1
00:00:00,120 –> 00:00:03,040
let me tell you about Linda D.
2
00:00:03,040 –> 00:00:07,760
Appling, a 77-year-old retiree who resides in a humble
3
00:00:07,760 –> 00:00:10,240
home with a sign in the front door that instructs
4
00:00:10,240 –> 00:00:12,000
the visitor to go to the side door.
5
00:00:12,320 –> 00:00:15,680
The side entrance is missing a storm door and the steps
6
00:00:15,680 –> 00:00:16,880
are in need of a shoveling.
7
00:00:17,360 –> 00:00:20,320
Miss Appling lives with a young man who can’t manage
8
00:00:20,320 –> 00:00:22,760
to get his car started this cold morning because the
9
00:00:22,760 –> 00:00:25,840
battery is old and a new battery is beyond his means.
10
00:00:26,400 –> 00:00:28,240
Despite these lean circumstances,
11
00:00:28,320 –> 00:00:29,200
Miss Appling
12
00:00:29,680 –> 00:00:33,320
77, is something of a Democratic super donor,
13
00:00:33,320 –> 00:00:33,760
Jason.
14
00:00:35,040 –> 00:00:37,280
According to state and federal campaign filings,
15
00:00:39,880 –> 00:00:40,160
Ms.
16
00:00:40,160 –> 00:00:44,880
Apling has made 8,738 contributions,
17
00:00:45,120 –> 00:00:46,080
totaling more than $82,000,
18
00:00:46,080 –> 00:00:51,360
a fact that she seems wholly unaware of.
19
00:00:51,920 –> 00:00:55,120
I don’t think that was me to be truthful about it,
20
00:00:55,480 –> 00:00:55,760
Ms.
21
00:00:55,760 –> 00:00:58,240
Apling told me as she struggled with the ice in her
22
00:00:58,240 –> 00:01:00,560
ill-fitting boots and aluminum cane.
23
00:01:01,200 –> 00:01:04,120
I acknowledged that I’d given some people about $2.50.
24
00:01:06,080 –> 00:01:07,280
According to these filings,
25
00:01:07,280 –> 00:01:10,720
she has also contributed to the gubernatorial campaign
26
00:01:10,880 –> 00:01:12,160
of Jocelyn Benson,
27
00:01:12,320 –> 00:01:14,720
the current Michigan Secretary of State,
28
00:01:14,960 –> 00:01:16,400
even though Ms.
29
00:01:16,400 –> 00:01:18,640
Apling hasn’t made-up her mind about governor.
30
00:01:19,200 –> 00:01:19,840
I showed Ms.
31
00:01:19,840 –> 00:01:21,760
Happling these spreadsheets,
32
00:01:21,880 –> 00:01:24,760
which show that she has contributed nine months in
33
00:01:24,760 –> 00:01:26,240
a row to Benson,
34
00:01:26,880 –> 00:01:28,400
even though she doesn’t know who’s going to vote for
35
00:01:28,400 –> 00:01:28,800
governor.
36
00:01:29,520 –> 00:01:34,080
The January pledge being $7 and the subsequent 8 donations
37
00:01:34,080 –> 00:01:35,080
this year of $2.50,
38
00:01:35,200 –> 00:01:38,720
all paid on the last day of the month.
39
00:01:39,200 –> 00:01:43,280
Now, Benson crows that Miss Appling is among the 32,000
40
00:01:43,280 –> 00:01:46,320
small donors who have contributed less than 100 bucks,
41
00:01:46,480 –> 00:01:49,760
allowing her to raise nearly $5 million in her bid
42
00:01:49,760 –> 00:01:50,480
for governor.
43
00:01:51,120 –> 00:01:53,840
Benson calls it a grass roots swell,
44
00:01:54,080 –> 00:01:56,720
but it appears to be something more nefarious to me,
45
00:01:56,880 –> 00:02:00,400
something like campaign finance fraud wildfire.
46
00:02:00,400 –> 00:02:01,520
That’s what it seems like to me.
47
00:02:01,800 –> 00:02:05,320
A random sample of these so-called small donors who
48
00:02:05,320 –> 00:02:08,000
have contributed to Benson’s campaigns were examined
49
00:02:08,000 –> 00:02:09,040
by Bob Cushman,
50
00:02:09,200 –> 00:02:12,320
a retired pilot and current citizen journalist.
51
00:02:12,880 –> 00:02:14,880
Since November of 2022,
52
00:02:15,120 –> 00:02:18,120
Benson has raised $5.5 million,
53
00:02:18,320 –> 00:02:21,120
with nearly half of that money coming from out-of-state
54
00:02:21,120 –> 00:02:23,440
donors, according to Cushman’s research.
55
00:02:23,760 –> 00:02:26,960
Nearly all of those contributions were $10 or less.
56
00:02:27,440 –> 00:02:29,960
There’s 85-year-old Frank from Maryland kicking in
57
00:02:29,960 –> 00:02:32,160
100 bucks at 6 bucks a pop.
58
00:02:32,480 –> 00:02:35,600
There’s 84-year-old Fred from upstate New York ending
59
00:02:35,600 –> 00:02:39,040
up with six contributions of $6 each.
60
00:02:39,440 –> 00:02:41,760
How about 82-year-old Marcella of Surprise,
61
00:02:41,760 –> 00:02:42,400
Arizona?
62
00:02:42,720 –> 00:02:43,760
It’s no surprise,
63
00:02:44,080 –> 00:02:48,320
Marcella is all in for Jocelyn Benson with 20 donations
64
00:02:48,400 –> 00:02:49,840
at $1.00 a piece.
65
00:02:50,160 –> 00:02:52,880
Now, how is this remotely possible?
66
00:02:53,600 –> 00:02:54,400
ActBlue.
67
00:02:54,880 –> 00:02:58,000
ActBlue is an online fundraising site specifically
68
00:02:58,000 –> 00:02:59,920
to raise money for Democrats.
69
00:03:00,240 –> 00:03:03,280
People can contribute to candidates through ActBlue
70
00:03:03,600 –> 00:03:06,160
or may contribute directly to ActBlue,
71
00:03:06,320 –> 00:03:09,120
which in turn donates to Democratic candidates and
72
00:03:09,120 –> 00:03:09,760
causes.
73
00:03:10,080 –> 00:03:15,040
ActBlue has raised $16 billion since its founding in
74
00:03:15,040 –> 00:03:16,400
2004.
75
00:03:17,360 –> 00:03:21,280
But ActBlue is ensnared in multiple federal investigations,
76
00:03:21,440 –> 00:03:24,640
alleging that it has stolen the identities of small
77
00:03:24,640 –> 00:03:27,120
donors, usually senior citizens like Ms.
78
00:03:27,120 –> 00:03:30,720
Apling, and is using their names to launder larger
79
00:03:30,720 –> 00:03:32,960
donations that exceed legal limits.
80
00:03:33,520 –> 00:03:37,040
By breaking the large donations into multiple smaller
81
00:03:37,040 –> 00:03:38,000
contributions,
82
00:03:38,240 –> 00:03:41,280
the amount and the origin of the money is hidden.
83
00:03:41,920 –> 00:03:45,360
Several senior staff members from AgBlue abruptly resigned
84
00:03:45,360 –> 00:03:48,240
earlier this year following these fraud allegations.
85
00:03:48,720 –> 00:03:51,840
Little people like Miss Appling are called straw donors
86
00:03:52,000 –> 00:03:52,880
or Smurfs,
87
00:03:53,200 –> 00:03:53,920
and Benson,
88
00:03:54,080 –> 00:03:56,240
in her capacity as Secretary of State,
89
00:03:56,480 –> 00:03:58,000
is supposed to protect them,
90
00:03:58,240 –> 00:03:59,120
not use them.
91
00:04:00,880 –> 00:04:02,320
I’m getting sick to death,
92
00:04:02,320 –> 00:04:03,280
Jason Rowe,
93
00:04:03,600 –> 00:04:06,640
like the political hitman of the Midwest.
94
00:04:08,520 –> 00:04:10,640
I’m getting tired of old people getting abused.
95
00:04:11,000 –> 00:04:14,240
whether it be the nursing homes or their identities.
96
00:04:15,000 –> 00:04:15,680
Any thoughts?
97
00:04:16,800 –> 00:04:19,920
Well, my job was on the floor listening to you narrate
98
00:04:20,080 –> 00:04:23,360
a lot of this because those of us that work in campaigns
99
00:04:23,360 –> 00:04:26,160
have known for years that this was happening.
100
00:04:26,560 –> 00:04:30,840
And you did more in that piece right there to explain
101
00:04:30,840 –> 00:04:33,920
what’s going on than anything I’ve read by any mainstream
102
00:04:33,920 –> 00:04:35,160
publication in the country.
103
00:04:35,160 –> 00:04:36,400
And it is fraud.
104
00:04:36,720 –> 00:04:38,320
It is money laundering.
105
00:04:39,040 –> 00:04:42,360
We know that organizations tied to George Soros and
106
00:04:42,360 –> 00:04:45,840
another European donor that’s been funneling billions
107
00:04:45,840 –> 00:04:48,760
of dollars into the left over the last decade have
108
00:04:48,760 –> 00:04:49,680
been doing this.
109
00:04:50,240 –> 00:04:51,920
And that’s one of the reasons
110
00:04:52,560 –> 00:04:54,600
I think a lot of people were optimistic when Trump
111
00:04:54,600 –> 00:04:56,640
became president and would have the Department of
112
00:04:56,640 –> 00:04:59,240
Justice and Republicans would have the oversight committees
113
00:04:59,240 –> 00:05:01,440
in the House and the Senate to look into what’s going
114
00:05:01,440 –> 00:05:01,920
on here.
115
00:05:02,240 –> 00:05:04,400
And you’re already seeing nationally,
116
00:05:04,400 –> 00:05:06,680
Republicans are out raising Democrats for the first
117
00:05:06,680 –> 00:05:07,840
time in about a decade.
118
00:05:08,080 –> 00:05:11,440
And I think one of the big reasons is they had been
119
00:05:11,440 –> 00:05:16,360
laundering money through ActBlue and inflating their
120
00:05:16,360 –> 00:05:18,480
resources with money that should have never been in
121
00:05:18,480 –> 00:05:18,960
the system.
122
00:05:19,040 –> 00:05:19,600
And
123
00:05:20,320 –> 00:05:20,880
like you said,
124
00:05:20,880 –> 00:05:21,600
foreign donors,
125
00:05:21,600 –> 00:05:23,360
which is completely illegal,
126
00:05:23,360 –> 00:05:23,680
right?
127
00:05:23,680 –> 00:05:27,280
Like you, I was just looking up the federal law,
128
00:05:27,280 –> 00:05:27,680
right?
129
00:05:27,800 –> 00:05:29,600
The campaign laws,
130
00:05:29,760 –> 00:05:30,320
US code.
131
00:05:30,960 –> 00:05:33,920
This, all this stuff’s been in place since 1974 when
132
00:05:33,920 –> 00:05:35,320
the Democrats ran Congress.
133
00:05:35,320 –> 00:05:38,160
So we know it’s bad for foreigners to be able to contribute.
134
00:05:38,400 –> 00:05:39,600
By the Watergate reforms.
135
00:05:39,760 –> 00:05:41,040
Yes, indeed.
136
00:05:41,280 –> 00:05:41,760
Or
137
00:05:43,520 –> 00:05:47,600
ActBlue, nobody can make a campaign donation in your
138
00:05:47,600 –> 00:05:47,920
name.
139
00:05:48,240 –> 00:05:49,680
You have to make it yourself.
140
00:05:49,680 –> 00:05:54,760
You can instruct ActBlue to do it.
141
00:05:54,760 –> 00:05:54,800
$82,000.
142
00:05:54,800 –> 00:05:56,000
Nobody’s noticing this.
143
00:05:56,160 –> 00:05:57,120
That’s amazing.
144
00:05:57,120 –> 00:05:58,800
No, we’ve been talking about this for a year.
145
00:05:59,280 –> 00:06:01,360
It took me a while to understand it.
146
00:06:04,000 –> 00:06:06,720
It’s complete manipulation of the American electoral
147
00:06:06,720 –> 00:06:07,040
system.
148
00:06:07,200 –> 00:06:08,240
Well, and this is,
149
00:06:08,560 –> 00:06:10,680
in the area we call hard money,
150
00:06:10,680 –> 00:06:12,240
which is the candidate money,
151
00:06:12,320 –> 00:06:14,960
because the candidates are treated differently in
152
00:06:14,960 –> 00:06:17,280
how they buy television ads and things like that.
153
00:06:17,600 –> 00:06:18,360
Soft money,
154
00:06:18,360 –> 00:06:19,520
which is unregulated,
155
00:06:19,520 –> 00:06:20,080
unlimited.
156
00:06:20,080 –> 00:06:21,360
It can be corporate money.
157
00:06:22,320 –> 00:06:25,360
you can, there are no limitations on how much you give.
158
00:06:25,400 –> 00:06:27,040
These are what the PACs and Super PACs are.
159
00:06:27,120 –> 00:06:28,240
Yeah, so Super PAC,
160
00:06:29,040 –> 00:06:30,160
they would have to disclose,
161
00:06:30,160 –> 00:06:32,000
but a 501c4,
162
00:06:32,240 –> 00:06:36,160
which does not have to disclose who their donors are.
163
00:06:36,560 –> 00:06:39,760
And that money can really walk right up to the line
164
00:06:39,760 –> 00:06:41,360
of what we call electioneering.
165
00:06:41,360 –> 00:06:43,280
So I could run an ad that says,
166
00:06:43,280 –> 00:06:45,040
Charlie LaDuff’s a son of a bitch.
167
00:06:46,120 –> 00:06:47,760
and pay for it with the C4.
168
00:06:48,080 –> 00:06:50,640
But I can’t say Charlie LeDuff’s a son of a bitch,
169
00:06:50,960 –> 00:06:52,880
vote for his opponent.
170
00:06:53,280 –> 00:06:55,080
That’s the difference between the soft one.
171
00:06:55,080 –> 00:06:55,760
Can’t advocate.
172
00:06:55,760 –> 00:06:57,040
Can’t advocate for.
173
00:06:57,040 –> 00:07:00,320
So say all the same things and leave you with a pretty
174
00:07:00,320 –> 00:07:02,800
obvious conclusion at the end of an ad.
175
00:07:02,800 –> 00:07:04,240
So that’s why a lot of these Smurfs,
176
00:07:04,240 –> 00:07:05,520
I’m looking in these spreadsheets,
177
00:07:05,760 –> 00:07:08,320
they’re also donating to ActBlue.
178
00:07:08,560 –> 00:07:09,680
Because what you’re saying is,
179
00:07:09,760 –> 00:07:11,760
I think, ActBlue
180
00:07:12,320 –> 00:07:14,640
itself is a consortium of soft money.
181
00:07:14,880 –> 00:07:18,800
So AgBlue could quite possibly take money from overseas,
182
00:07:19,280 –> 00:07:24,320
wash it through the Smurfs into its own 501c4 or super
183
00:07:24,320 –> 00:07:24,960
PAC, whatever,
184
00:07:25,120 –> 00:07:28,720
and then start not advocating directly for a candidate,
185
00:07:28,720 –> 00:07:30,200
but smearing their opponent.
186
00:07:30,320 –> 00:07:33,440
But also they’re using the straw donors in order to
187
00:07:33,440 –> 00:07:35,680
get hard dollars to candidates.
188
00:07:36,200 –> 00:07:38,800
Both ways.
189
00:07:38,800 –> 00:07:39,120
Yes.
190
00:07:39,280 –> 00:07:40,800
So that your audience understands,
191
00:07:40,800 –> 00:07:43,520
like when you buy a TV ad as a candidate,
192
00:07:43,840 –> 00:07:46,080
it is a fraction of what the market rate is.
193
00:07:46,320 –> 00:07:49,840
If a super PAC or one of these soft money groups buys
194
00:07:49,840 –> 00:07:53,200
an ad, it’s the full freight of the market rate.
195
00:07:53,360 –> 00:07:56,920
So a candidate will typically spend about 40%
196
00:07:56,920 –> 00:07:58,120
of what the market rate is.
197
00:07:58,120 –> 00:08:00,960
So you can take a dollar a lot further when it’s the
198
00:08:00,960 –> 00:08:03,920
candidate money versus the super PACs and dark money
199
00:08:03,920 –> 00:08:04,320
groups.
200
00:08:04,400 –> 00:08:05,680
That’s fascinating.
201
00:08:05,760 –> 00:08:06,000
So
202
00:08:07,280 –> 00:08:10,800
How was this allowed to go on for 21 years?
203
00:08:10,800 –> 00:08:12,160
Well, unfortunately,
204
00:08:12,160 –> 00:08:14,240
it was reforms that created this.
205
00:08:14,240 –> 00:08:16,000
It started with McCain-Feingold,
206
00:08:16,120 –> 00:08:19,520
which took the whole soft money racket away from the
207
00:08:19,520 –> 00:08:20,240
political party.
208
00:08:20,240 –> 00:08:21,120
So it used to be
209
00:08:21,600 –> 00:08:23,880
that the Republican National Committee and the National
210
00:08:23,880 –> 00:08:26,080
Republican Congressional Committee and the Democrat
211
00:08:26,080 –> 00:08:29,960
counterparts would raise soft money into the party
212
00:08:29,960 –> 00:08:30,560
committees.
213
00:08:30,720 –> 00:08:33,600
So it would be controlled by the Republican Party or
214
00:08:33,600 –> 00:08:34,640
the Democratic Party.
215
00:08:35,040 –> 00:08:38,440
McCain-Feingold said elected officials can no longer
216
00:08:38,440 –> 00:08:40,560
be involved in raising soft money,
217
00:08:40,720 –> 00:08:41,600
corporate money.
218
00:08:41,840 –> 00:08:43,520
All of that has to be taken out.
219
00:08:43,520 –> 00:08:45,880
So now those committees can only deal with the hard
220
00:08:45,880 –> 00:08:49,840
dollars that are harder to raise because of disclosures
221
00:08:49,840 –> 00:08:51,200
and because of limits.
222
00:08:51,680 –> 00:08:59,040
And then you had Dave Bossi challenge the McCain-Feigold
223
00:08:59,040 –> 00:08:59,720
in court,
224
00:08:59,720 –> 00:09:01,760
which created Citizens United,
225
00:09:02,040 –> 00:09:05,920
which basically opened up all the other spending outside
226
00:09:05,920 –> 00:09:09,800
of what the RNC and the DNC and members of Congress
227
00:09:09,800 –> 00:09:11,760
and the Senate can control.
228
00:09:11,800 –> 00:09:13,000
The unlimited spending.
229
00:09:13,120 –> 00:09:13,400
Yes.
230
00:09:13,400 –> 00:09:17,600
So now all these outside groups get to do this unlimited
231
00:09:17,600 –> 00:09:19,920
fundraising and spending in these elections.
232
00:09:20,320 –> 00:09:21,400
Those 2 things are the
233
00:09:21,560 –> 00:09:22,840
And we see what we’re seeing right now.
234
00:09:22,840 –> 00:09:26,000
The campaign is not a lot of talk to these big firewall
235
00:09:26,000 –> 00:09:26,640
between us.
236
00:09:27,120 –> 00:09:29,160
But they do before things start.
237
00:09:29,160 –> 00:09:30,160
Is that inside?
238
00:09:30,320 –> 00:09:32,800
Like everybody goes to the golf club and this is what
239
00:09:32,800 –> 00:09:33,280
we’re going to do.
240
00:09:33,280 –> 00:09:34,480
Early on in the process,
241
00:09:34,480 –> 00:09:35,280
there’s, you know,
242
00:09:35,280 –> 00:09:36,360
here’s what we’re thinking,
243
00:09:36,360 –> 00:09:37,520
here’s what we’re seeing.
244
00:09:38,000 –> 00:09:40,080
But at some point a firewall goes up and there’s no
245
00:09:40,080 –> 00:09:40,800
communications.
246
00:09:40,920 –> 00:09:42,560
But during that golf luncheon,
247
00:09:42,560 –> 00:09:43,200
it’s like,
248
00:09:43,680 –> 00:09:45,600
okay, this is what we want to do.
249
00:09:45,600 –> 00:09:46,720
This is where we’re going.
250
00:09:46,800 –> 00:09:47,440
And we’re going to
251
00:09:47,960 –> 00:09:49,880
We can’t directly communicate with you,
252
00:09:49,880 –> 00:09:52,480
but we can maybe through the press by planning stories
253
00:09:52,480 –> 00:09:52,560
or…
254
00:09:52,800 –> 00:09:55,360
I think everyone learns how to read the smoke signals
255
00:09:55,360 –> 00:09:58,080
that you see online or in the press.
256
00:09:58,080 –> 00:09:58,320
Yeah.
257
00:09:58,560 –> 00:09:59,000
And you know,
258
00:09:59,000 –> 00:10:00,080
a lot of this too is,
259
00:10:00,400 –> 00:10:00,600
you know,
260
00:10:00,600 –> 00:10:02,160
when you lay down a TV buy,
261
00:10:02,320 –> 00:10:04,240
that’s publicly disclosed information.
262
00:10:04,240 –> 00:10:06,800
So the outside groups will go look at the TV buy,
263
00:10:07,040 –> 00:10:08,720
figure out where your gaps are,
264
00:10:08,840 –> 00:10:10,640
and go fill those gaps.
265
00:10:10,960 –> 00:10:12,280
God, this is a,
266
00:10:12,280 –> 00:10:13,320
I’m sorry to walk out,
267
00:10:13,320 –> 00:10:15,040
but I’m sure if you’re listening,
268
00:10:15,240 –> 00:10:16,080
does it make sense to you,
269
00:10:16,080 –> 00:10:16,360
Mark?
270
00:10:17,640 –> 00:10:18,680
God, that’s thanks.
271
00:10:18,720 –> 00:10:21,400
You should fucking teach a university course,
272
00:10:21,400 –> 00:10:21,720
dude.
273
00:10:22,080 –> 00:10:23,200
That was simple.
274
00:10:23,520 –> 00:10:24,880
See, now I kind of get it.
275
00:10:25,280 –> 00:10:29,040
What I deal with is the flesh and blood of it.
276
00:10:29,760 –> 00:10:31,520
And you do you want to see Miss Apling?
277
00:10:31,880 –> 00:10:33,000
I went to I went to her house.
278
00:10:33,080 –> 00:10:34,240
I love meeting mega donors.
279
00:10:34,800 –> 00:10:36,480
Fucking super donors.
280
00:10:37,040 –> 00:10:37,640
Do we have that,
281
00:10:37,640 –> 00:10:37,960
Mark?
282
00:10:38,400 –> 00:10:38,800
All right,
283
00:10:38,800 –> 00:10:39,640
it’s Miss Appling.
284
00:10:39,640 –> 00:10:40,800
And by the way,
285
00:10:40,800 –> 00:10:41,920
you’re from Lansing,
286
00:10:41,920 –> 00:10:42,160
right?
287
00:10:42,240 –> 00:10:43,000
I grew up in Lansing,
288
00:10:43,120 –> 00:10:43,280
yeah.
289
00:10:43,280 –> 00:10:45,280
Dude, I had no idea.
290
00:10:45,520 –> 00:10:47,760
Like, oh, state capitol is pretty run down,
291
00:10:47,760 –> 00:10:48,480
pretty empty.
292
00:10:48,720 –> 00:10:51,600
I’ve been to Lansing a couple dozen times in my life,
293
00:10:53,600 –> 00:10:56,800
but this is the first time like I was really in Lansing.
294
00:10:57,040 –> 00:10:57,520
And I’m like,
295
00:10:57,720 –> 00:10:59,320
what a woe begone joint,
296
00:10:59,320 –> 00:10:59,600
dude.
297
00:11:00,480 –> 00:11:01,120
my God.
298
00:11:01,120 –> 00:11:01,760
Right, Ken?
299
00:11:01,800 –> 00:11:02,960
Are we on the south side or where?
300
00:11:02,960 –> 00:11:03,640
South side.
301
00:11:03,640 –> 00:11:04,280
That’s where I grew up.
302
00:11:04,400 –> 00:11:05,160
And the…
303
00:11:05,640 –> 00:11:06,560
What intersection?
304
00:11:06,760 –> 00:11:07,360
I need to know.
305
00:11:07,600 –> 00:11:09,080
No, we don’t want to do that to Miss Happily.
306
00:11:09,080 –> 00:11:11,080
Well, just major intersection.
307
00:11:11,120 –> 00:11:12,520
Logan Road or something.
308
00:11:12,560 –> 00:11:13,280
Miller Road down.
309
00:11:13,760 –> 00:11:13,960
Okay.
310
00:11:14,320 –> 00:11:15,920
S to the freeway.
311
00:11:15,920 –> 00:11:16,040
Yeah.
312
00:11:18,240 –> 00:11:19,280
right off Miller Road.
313
00:11:19,280 –> 00:11:22,520
There was this townhouse complex that the city closed
314
00:11:22,520 –> 00:11:24,960
down because it was so rotten and fetid and…
315
00:11:24,960 –> 00:11:25,880
That was my neighborhood.
316
00:11:26,000 –> 00:11:26,800
That, okay,
317
00:11:26,840 –> 00:11:27,920
you live near Miss Zapling.
318
00:11:28,080 –> 00:11:28,920
You know what I’m talking about,
319
00:11:28,920 –> 00:11:29,520
the townhouses.
320
00:11:29,840 –> 00:11:32,000
There used to be Canterbury Commons when I was a kid.
321
00:11:32,000 –> 00:11:34,640
There used to be a McDonald’s there and a 7-Eleven.
322
00:11:34,880 –> 00:11:37,920
Both of them closed down because it is the most violent
323
00:11:37,920 –> 00:11:40,200
part of all of Lansing and they were getting robbed
324
00:11:40,200 –> 00:11:42,000
at gunpoint regularly.
325
00:11:42,120 –> 00:11:43,720
When does a McDonald’s ever close?
326
00:11:43,720 –> 00:11:47,880
Dude, and they closed that huge townhouse complex down.
327
00:11:49,080 –> 00:11:50,320
Canterbury Commons.
328
00:11:50,320 –> 00:11:51,200
They’re going to redo it.
329
00:11:52,000 –> 00:11:55,400
And like all the vagrants and the dope addicts moving
330
00:11:55,400 –> 00:11:58,480
because the snow was fresh and they ripped it off
331
00:11:58,560 –> 00:11:59,840
and you could see the footprints.
332
00:11:59,840 –> 00:12:02,000
That was my paper route for the Lansing State Journal.
333
00:12:02,000 –> 00:12:03,040
You don’t want it.
334
00:12:03,200 –> 00:12:03,360
Wow.
335
00:12:03,440 –> 00:12:03,960
I was like,
336
00:12:06,160 –> 00:12:09,120
wow, just everybody goes to Lansing to take,
337
00:12:09,920 –> 00:12:10,240
right?
338
00:12:10,400 –> 00:12:11,120
And you’re sitting,
339
00:12:11,280 –> 00:12:11,680
right?
340
00:12:12,000 –> 00:12:14,160
You’re sitting in the middle of this is our capital.
341
00:12:14,680 –> 00:12:16,440
And it’s no offense to the people there.
342
00:12:16,440 –> 00:12:16,920
I love them.
343
00:12:16,920 –> 00:12:17,760
I love Miss Appling.
344
00:12:17,840 –> 00:12:18,880
Really, you’ll see.
345
00:12:19,360 –> 00:12:20,640
It’s just bombed out.
346
00:12:20,640 –> 00:12:21,640
But you know what that is?
347
00:12:21,640 –> 00:12:23,040
That’s the story of the auto industry.
348
00:12:23,520 –> 00:12:26,800
That was nice middle-class neighborhoods before the
349
00:12:26,800 –> 00:12:27,440
70s.
350
00:12:27,760 –> 00:12:28,000
Yeah.
351
00:12:28,240 –> 00:12:28,720
All right,
352
00:12:28,720 –> 00:12:29,920
let’s see Miss Appling.
353
00:12:29,920 –> 00:12:31,560
You got headphones?
354
00:12:37,520 –> 00:12:40,000
We’re checking to make sure your identity wasn’t stolen.
355
00:12:40,680 –> 00:12:43,760
It says that you’ve donated $82,000 to political campaigns.
356
00:12:43,760 –> 00:12:44,240
Would that be?
357
00:12:44,240 –> 00:12:45,600
What political campaign?
358
00:12:48,640 –> 00:12:51,520
10 times Benson for governor.
359
00:12:52,600 –> 00:12:53,640
Benson for governor?
360
00:12:54,080 –> 00:12:56,760
Yeah, 10 times at the end of every month.
361
00:12:58,240 –> 00:12:58,280
$10?
362
00:12:59,920 –> 00:13:00,000
$2.50, $2.50,
363
00:13:00,000 –> 00:13:00,080
$2.50, $2.50.
364
00:13:00,080 –> 00:13:02,960
Well, I may have donated $2.50,
365
00:13:03,200 –> 00:13:06,480
but that would be about it.
366
00:13:08,960 –> 00:13:09,760
One time?
367
00:13:10,800 –> 00:13:16,080
How do they got you $82,000 over 2 decades?
368
00:13:17,080 –> 00:13:18,080
That’s a lot of money.
369
00:13:18,880 –> 00:13:20,120
Yeah, that is a lot of money.
370
00:13:20,480 –> 00:13:21,440
You didn’t do that?
371
00:13:21,760 –> 00:13:23,120
I don’t think it was me,
372
00:13:23,120 –> 00:13:24,320
to be truthful about it.
373
00:13:25,040 –> 00:13:26,160
Let me put it like this.
374
00:13:26,480 –> 00:13:29,480
I will admit I donated $2.50.
375
00:13:29,800 –> 00:13:30,680
What about the other $82,000?
376
00:13:30,680 –> 00:13:30,960
The other $82,000.
377
00:13:30,960 –> 00:13:35,360
Do you know who,
378
00:13:36,160 –> 00:13:37,680
Warnock, do you know who that is?
379
00:13:37,760 –> 00:13:39,920
Yeah, that’s that idiot down in the center.
380
00:13:40,640 –> 00:13:41,960
My nephew was down there.
381
00:13:41,960 –> 00:13:42,360
Georgia?
382
00:13:42,360 –> 00:13:42,560
Georgia.
383
00:13:42,960 –> 00:13:43,600
That idiot?
384
00:13:44,000 –> 00:13:46,560
Well, apparently you gave him $100 a couple years ago.
385
00:13:47,120 –> 00:13:47,920
It says like,
386
00:13:50,160 –> 00:13:51,040
every day.
387
00:13:52,360 –> 00:13:53,120
On the 16th,
388
00:13:53,120 –> 00:13:54,560
17th, 19th,
389
00:13:54,720 –> 00:13:55,360
20th.
390
00:13:55,400 –> 00:13:56,200
You mean every month?
391
00:13:56,560 –> 00:13:58,720
No, this is all just in one month.
392
00:13:59,040 –> 00:14:01,600
In 2022, you gave them 5,
393
00:14:01,760 –> 00:14:02,680
250, 250,
394
00:14:02,680 –> 00:14:03,880
10, 25, 5.
395
00:14:03,880 –> 00:14:05,200
What I do is like,
396
00:14:05,360 –> 00:14:06,240
I may donate $5 or $10,
397
00:14:06,240 –> 00:14:07,120
but that’s all of it.
398
00:14:07,120 –> 00:14:11,320
You know, I’m donating 5 or $10.
399
00:14:11,320 –> 00:14:12,880
That’s a striking amount of money,
400
00:14:12,880 –> 00:14:13,840
83,000.
401
00:14:14,960 –> 00:14:16,400
Yeah, I had no idea.
402
00:14:17,320 –> 00:14:20,560
I think what they might be doing is taking your name
403
00:14:21,120 –> 00:14:22,480
and taking a big part of me.
404
00:14:22,540 –> 00:14:26,180
money and then using your name to spread it in to make
405
00:14:26,180 –> 00:14:28,460
it look legal when it probably isn’t.
406
00:14:28,660 –> 00:14:29,540
Okay, who are you?
407
00:14:29,700 –> 00:14:32,940
My name’s Charlie LaDuff of the Michigan Enjoyer.
408
00:14:32,940 –> 00:14:33,660
I’m a reporter.
409
00:14:34,420 –> 00:14:35,980
I’ve never heard of the Michigan Enjoyer.
410
00:14:36,340 –> 00:14:37,540
Oh, that’s a beautiful day.
411
00:14:37,700 –> 00:14:38,660
Who do you like for governor?
412
00:14:40,020 –> 00:14:40,420
No?
413
00:14:40,500 –> 00:14:40,820
Yeah.
414
00:14:40,900 –> 00:14:41,500
No idea.
415
00:14:41,620 –> 00:14:42,300
No idea I just…
416
00:14:42,300 –> 00:14:42,620
I don’t…
417
00:14:42,900 –> 00:14:43,620
I’m not…
418
00:14:44,900 –> 00:14:47,220
And yet we’re donating every month to Benson.
419
00:14:49,540 –> 00:14:50,260
Like I said,
420
00:14:50,420 –> 00:14:51,580
I do 5 or $10
421
00:14:52,260 –> 00:14:53,220
I don’t know that much,
422
00:14:53,780 –> 00:14:55,060
in terms of donating to them.
423
00:14:55,380 –> 00:14:55,980
Just a little here,
424
00:14:55,980 –> 00:14:56,580
a little there.
425
00:14:56,660 –> 00:14:56,780
Yeah.
426
00:14:57,140 –> 00:15:00,100
And I acknowledge I’m A progressive Democrat.
427
00:15:00,900 –> 00:15:01,860
More power to you.
428
00:15:02,500 –> 00:15:03,780
Are you sure I can’t help you up there?
429
00:15:04,380 –> 00:15:04,820
I’m positive.
430
00:15:04,980 –> 00:15:05,380
Okay.
431
00:15:05,500 –> 00:15:05,940
Don’t help me,
432
00:15:06,020 –> 00:15:06,220
please.
433
00:15:06,500 –> 00:15:08,020
Well, I’m A progressive Democrat.
434
00:15:08,820 –> 00:15:10,860
I just can’t let ladies fall over.
435
00:15:10,860 –> 00:15:13,220
I can do this shit unless that’s what you are.
436
00:15:13,220 –> 00:15:14,420
But I am not about to kill myself.
437
00:15:14,660 –> 00:15:15,020
Okay.
438
00:15:15,500 –> 00:15:15,900
Thank you.
439
00:15:15,900 –> 00:15:16,340
Have a good one,
440
00:15:16,340 –> 00:15:16,660
Linda.
441
00:15:16,660 –> 00:15:17,060
Thank you.
442
00:15:20,740 –> 00:15:23,540
Live from downtown Detroit,
443
00:15:23,860 –> 00:15:28,340
it’s the New Bullshit News Hour with my main man,
444
00:15:29,300 –> 00:15:34,740
Charlie Ladeau and Jaren Dumas.
445
00:15:34,740 –> 00:15:39,060
It’s just in breaking this double or bullshit,
446
00:15:39,220 –> 00:15:40,100
double or bullshit.
447
00:15:40,900 –> 00:15:44,740
Okay, now I met with Rob Robert yesterday.
448
00:15:44,740 –> 00:15:45,860
This is amazing.
449
00:15:47,380 –> 00:15:48,980
Public Adjusters Midwest.
450
00:15:49,860 –> 00:15:50,820
I now belong to him.
451
00:15:51,940 –> 00:15:53,780
The insurance company has an adjuster,
452
00:15:54,260 –> 00:15:54,580
right?
453
00:15:55,220 –> 00:15:58,020
So why shouldn’t you?
454
00:15:58,020 –> 00:16:00,340
suffer fire and water damage on your home or cottage
455
00:16:00,340 –> 00:16:01,220
or commercial building.
456
00:16:01,300 –> 00:16:03,620
The insurance company sends their guy,
457
00:16:04,180 –> 00:16:06,860
gives it to once over and tells you what you’re going
458
00:16:06,860 –> 00:16:07,300
to get.
459
00:16:07,460 –> 00:16:08,740
But who’s representing you?
460
00:16:09,140 –> 00:16:09,940
I never thought of it.
461
00:16:10,260 –> 00:16:11,620
I remember my roof,
462
00:16:11,700 –> 00:16:12,820
storm, leak,
463
00:16:13,060 –> 00:16:13,180
guy.
464
00:16:13,220 –> 00:16:14,460
I gave you 2 grand.
465
00:16:14,460 –> 00:16:16,460
I’m like, want to look like a guy.
466
00:16:16,460 –> 00:16:19,460
I get 2 grand for it.
467
00:16:20,180 –> 00:16:22,500
You can’t find a guy that does plaster for 2 grand.
468
00:16:22,660 –> 00:16:23,460
I got fucked.
469
00:16:24,020 –> 00:16:26,820
Okay, so Public Adjusters Midwest,
470
00:16:26,900 –> 00:16:28,180
that’s who you’re going to call.
471
00:16:28,660 –> 00:16:29,860
He gave me a card yesterday.
472
00:16:29,860 –> 00:16:30,420
It’s metal.
473
00:16:30,580 –> 00:16:31,860
First metal card I’ve ever gotten.
474
00:16:32,020 –> 00:16:32,740
I went to my wife.
475
00:16:32,740 –> 00:16:35,540
I said, go put this with the insurance papers.
476
00:16:35,700 –> 00:16:36,860
Hopefully we’ll never need it,
477
00:16:36,860 –> 00:16:37,700
but it’s there.
478
00:16:37,700 –> 00:16:38,420
You know why it’s metal,
479
00:16:38,420 –> 00:16:38,740
right?
480
00:16:38,900 –> 00:16:40,580
Can’t be destroyed by water or fire.
481
00:16:40,780 –> 00:16:40,900
Right.
482
00:16:41,140 –> 00:16:42,580
On Thanksgiving,
483
00:16:42,580 –> 00:16:44,140
I was at my brother-in-laws in Oxford.
484
00:16:44,140 –> 00:16:45,540
His basement flooded.
485
00:16:45,700 –> 00:16:46,860
He hired one of these guys.
486
00:16:46,860 –> 00:16:48,100
He said it was amazing.
487
00:16:48,180 –> 00:16:49,140
They took care of everything.
488
00:16:51,660 –> 00:16:54,020
Insurance was going to come in at pennies on the dollar.
489
00:16:54,380 –> 00:16:56,740
And this guy went in there and took care of business.
490
00:16:56,780 –> 00:16:57,060
Boom.
491
00:16:57,060 –> 00:16:58,500
I’m like, this is genius.
492
00:16:58,500 –> 00:16:59,220
You know what I mean?
493
00:16:59,220 –> 00:16:59,540
Okay.
494
00:16:59,780 –> 00:17:03,220
They’re like your insurance lawyer for fire and water
495
00:17:03,220 –> 00:17:03,620
claims.
496
00:17:03,780 –> 00:17:04,620
Don’t worry about the car.
497
00:17:04,620 –> 00:17:05,460
They’re not doing cars.
498
00:17:06,380 –> 00:17:07,820
On residential and commercial properties.
499
00:17:07,820 –> 00:17:08,580
Here’s how it works.
500
00:17:08,900 –> 00:17:11,300
They handle the entire claims process,
501
00:17:11,540 –> 00:17:13,220
repping your interest.
502
00:17:13,460 –> 00:17:16,220
They get you more money and they can provide a contract.
503
00:17:16,220 –> 00:17:16,820
Look at this part.
504
00:17:16,980 –> 00:17:18,180
Who do the work at a 10%
505
00:17:18,180 –> 00:17:18,660
discount.
506
00:17:19,460 –> 00:17:20,300
So if they get 10%
507
00:17:20,660 –> 00:17:23,180
of the over that they’re going to get you,
508
00:17:23,180 –> 00:17:25,380
end up actually paying zero,
509
00:17:27,220 –> 00:17:27,620
okay?
510
00:17:27,620 –> 00:17:28,940
now it’s like they’re your lawyer,
511
00:17:28,940 –> 00:17:29,220
right?
512
00:17:29,220 –> 00:17:31,140
So when you call the insurance company,
513
00:17:31,700 –> 00:17:32,820
don’t say shit,
514
00:17:33,300 –> 00:17:33,660
right?
515
00:17:33,940 –> 00:17:34,780
Take the 5th.
516
00:17:34,980 –> 00:17:36,100
Don’t ruin your claim.
517
00:17:36,260 –> 00:17:36,660
Better yet,
518
00:17:36,660 –> 00:17:37,300
they’ll call for you.
519
00:17:37,460 –> 00:17:38,500
They’ll call for you,
520
00:17:38,580 –> 00:17:39,900
call Pam first.
521
00:17:40,260 –> 00:17:42,340
Not Sam, call Pam first.
522
00:17:44,020 –> 00:17:46,340
On the worst day of your life,
523
00:17:47,060 –> 00:17:48,340
it’s best to call Pam.
524
00:17:48,740 –> 00:17:50,340
If you’re in the middle of a claim right now,
525
00:17:50,340 –> 00:17:53,060
PAM guarantees to get you more than the insurance
526
00:17:53,060 –> 00:17:54,260
company has offered.
527
00:17:54,820 –> 00:17:57,820
Look, it doesn’t hurt to talk to them and get an opinion.
528
00:17:57,820 –> 00:17:58,580
That’s free.
529
00:17:59,060 –> 00:18:01,460
They’ll do all the work and get you more money.
530
00:18:01,620 –> 00:18:02,260
And again,
531
00:18:03,700 –> 00:18:05,220
hopefully you never need to call them.
532
00:18:05,220 –> 00:18:06,180
But I’m telling you,
533
00:18:06,420 –> 00:18:07,300
write this down.
534
00:18:07,300 –> 00:18:08,580
I’ll do it at the end of the show.
535
00:18:08,580 –> 00:18:09,100
Remind me,
536
00:18:09,100 –> 00:18:09,380
Mark.
537
00:18:09,860 –> 00:18:10,500
End of the show.
538
00:18:10,580 –> 00:18:12,580
Write it down on your insurance policy.
539
00:18:12,740 –> 00:18:13,700
Just so you know,
540
00:18:13,860 –> 00:18:14,660
it’s PAM,
541
00:18:14,980 –> 00:18:16,580
Public Adjusters Midwest.
542
00:18:17,300 –> 00:18:20,740
The website is callpamfirst.com,
543
00:18:20,900 –> 00:18:23,860
CALLPAMFIRST,
544
00:18:24,180 –> 00:18:25,220
callpamfirst.com.
545
00:18:25,220 –> 00:18:26,180
Or here it goes,
546
00:18:26,660 –> 00:18:29,220
855-975-2020.
547
00:18:29,660 –> 00:18:32,660
And you know me.
548
00:18:33,940 –> 00:18:36,980
I won’t do business with products I don’t believe in.
549
00:18:36,980 –> 00:18:39,220
I sat there for two fucking hours yesterday.
550
00:18:39,380 –> 00:18:40,300
It was fascinating.
551
00:18:40,300 –> 00:18:41,620
He’s a good guy.
552
00:18:41,620 –> 00:18:42,500
Rob’s a good guy too.
553
00:18:43,060 –> 00:18:44,180
Yeah, he’s a very good guy.
554
00:18:44,180 –> 00:18:45,100
All right.
555
00:18:45,100 –> 00:18:46,580
Let’s make a call.
556
00:18:51,940 –> 00:18:53,220
Hello, American Coney Island,
557
00:18:53,220 –> 00:18:53,860
how may I help you?
558
00:18:53,860 –> 00:18:56,980
Yeah, I’d like to book a party.
559
00:18:58,580 –> 00:18:59,900
Okay, could you hold one moment,
560
00:18:59,900 –> 00:19:00,180
please?
561
00:19:00,180 –> 00:19:00,740
Sure thing.
562
00:19:02,740 –> 00:19:03,180
Hey, Grace,
563
00:19:03,180 –> 00:19:04,420
somebody wanted to book a party.
564
00:19:06,460 –> 00:19:06,980
Hello?
565
00:19:07,220 –> 00:19:09,180
Yeah, hi, I’m from Coney Island,
566
00:19:09,180 –> 00:19:09,620
Brooklyn,
567
00:19:09,620 –> 00:19:10,180
actually,
568
00:19:10,180 –> 00:19:11,620
and I’m gonna be in Detroit,
569
00:19:12,020 –> 00:19:13,380
and I’d like to book a party.
570
00:19:14,580 –> 00:19:14,980
Okay.
571
00:19:14,980 –> 00:19:17,700
Do you take bookings for the party?
572
00:19:20,260 –> 00:19:20,900
For this month?
573
00:19:20,900 –> 00:19:21,580
I can do that for you.
574
00:19:22,180 –> 00:19:23,540
Okay, you can book the party.
575
00:19:23,540 –> 00:19:24,980
Is it wheelchair accessible?
576
00:19:25,300 –> 00:19:26,620
And how often do you clean it?
577
00:19:26,740 –> 00:19:27,140
Yes.
578
00:19:28,020 –> 00:19:29,540
Okay, so how much for the party?
579
00:19:32,180 –> 00:19:32,580
Hello?
580
00:19:32,820 –> 00:19:35,300
How many people are in your party?
581
00:19:35,620 –> 00:19:36,980
Oh, no, just one.
582
00:19:36,980 –> 00:19:38,900
Just one person in the party at a time.
583
00:19:40,140 –> 00:19:40,260
Yeah.
584
00:19:40,580 –> 00:19:40,740
Okay.
585
00:19:40,900 –> 00:19:41,660
I’m online here.
586
00:19:41,660 –> 00:19:42,820
I’m looking at your menu.
587
00:19:43,100 –> 00:19:44,260
What’s in a special?
588
00:19:46,380 –> 00:19:46,900
First of all,
589
00:19:47,220 –> 00:19:48,140
you guys are assholes.
590
00:19:48,140 –> 00:19:49,060
I already knew it was you.
591
00:19:49,220 –> 00:19:51,260
But I was just going to try to see how much more you
592
00:19:51,260 –> 00:19:51,780
were going to tell.
593
00:19:53,140 –> 00:19:53,700
Okay, well,
594
00:19:53,700 –> 00:19:57,100
listen, you want to you want to let everybody know
595
00:19:57,100 –> 00:19:58,180
about your Coney kids.
596
00:20:02,420 –> 00:20:03,180
Come on, sweetheart.
597
00:20:03,180 –> 00:20:03,940
I don’t got all day.
598
00:20:03,940 –> 00:20:04,980
It’s called dead air.
599
00:20:06,340 –> 00:20:06,740
Do you guys,
600
00:20:06,740 –> 00:20:08,020
don’t you have like some work to do?
601
00:20:08,020 –> 00:20:10,100
Like, don’t you have news to tell and inform people
602
00:20:10,140 –> 00:20:10,260
on?
603
00:20:10,260 –> 00:20:10,460
Yes.
604
00:20:10,500 –> 00:20:12,500
We want to let everybody know about the Cody kit.
605
00:20:12,500 –> 00:20:14,180
So why don’t you let everybody know about the Cody
606
00:20:14,180 –> 00:20:14,380
kit?
607
00:20:14,380 –> 00:20:16,580
Yeah, we ship out every Monday.
608
00:20:16,580 –> 00:20:17,420
Order your Coney kit,
609
00:20:17,420 –> 00:20:18,980
get it shipped right to your front door.
610
00:20:19,380 –> 00:20:19,860
Okay.
611
00:20:19,860 –> 00:20:22,340
And where do they do that?
612
00:20:22,740 –> 00:20:25,060
American Cody Island.com.
613
00:20:26,420 –> 00:20:27,460
Go through Gold Belly.
614
00:20:27,620 –> 00:20:28,860
Okay, you go through Gold Belly.
615
00:20:28,860 –> 00:20:29,940
What’s in a Cody kit?
616
00:20:31,460 –> 00:20:32,660
Hot dogs, chili,
617
00:20:33,140 –> 00:20:33,860
one big onion,
618
00:20:34,500 –> 00:20:36,580
buns, and a hat like the guys wear downtown.
619
00:20:36,980 –> 00:20:37,460
Excellent,
620
00:20:37,460 –> 00:20:38,740
and what’s in a special?
621
00:20:38,740 –> 00:20:41,180
All right,
622
00:20:41,220 –> 00:20:41,700
gotta go,
623
00:20:41,700 –> 00:20:42,340
thank you.
624
00:20:42,420 –> 00:20:44,220
Okay, so long.
625
00:20:48,140 –> 00:20:52,180
I’m here with political hitman superstar Jason Roe,
626
00:20:52,180 –> 00:20:53,140
dude, just real quick.
627
00:20:56,020 –> 00:20:57,060
The red states are bragging.
628
00:20:57,060 –> 00:20:59,140
Everybody’s leaving the blue states and moving into
629
00:20:59,140 –> 00:20:59,740
the red states.
630
00:20:59,740 –> 00:21:00,740
So long, New York.
631
00:21:00,740 –> 00:21:01,740
So long, California.
632
00:21:01,740 –> 00:21:04,340
I’m going to Florida and Texas and Tennessee.
633
00:21:06,020 –> 00:21:07,620
Well, you know how else is moving in?
634
00:21:08,500 –> 00:21:10,180
It’s that crazy libtard left.
635
00:21:10,620 –> 00:21:12,260
And we were talking about the crazy,
636
00:21:12,820 –> 00:21:14,260
almost fascistic right.
637
00:21:14,260 –> 00:21:16,260
Like, don’t steal Catholicism from me.
638
00:21:16,260 –> 00:21:18,260
Lecture me about Jesus.
639
00:21:18,500 –> 00:21:20,100
It’s all a put on,
640
00:21:20,420 –> 00:21:20,620
you know,
641
00:21:20,620 –> 00:21:21,140
on the right.
642
00:21:21,300 –> 00:21:21,860
On the left,
643
00:21:22,260 –> 00:21:25,300
now you’ve got that congressional
644
00:21:25,620 –> 00:21:26,980
special election in Tennessee,
645
00:21:27,660 –> 00:21:30,620
where she hates country music and it’s all the trance
646
00:21:30,620 –> 00:21:30,780
stuff.
647
00:21:30,780 –> 00:21:31,140
It’s like,
648
00:21:31,780 –> 00:21:33,060
they’re moving there.
649
00:21:33,780 –> 00:21:35,460
I can’t even believe it was that close.
650
00:21:36,660 –> 00:21:37,220
Shouldn’t have been.
651
00:21:38,340 –> 00:21:40,340
Now, Trump won the district by 22.
652
00:21:41,620 –> 00:21:44,820
The Republican Van Epps won it by 8 1/2.
653
00:21:46,620 –> 00:21:48,500
And it should have been a foregone conclusion.
654
00:21:48,500 –> 00:21:49,780
We shouldn’t have had to spend any money.
655
00:21:49,940 –> 00:21:51,140
She was on tape.
656
00:21:51,700 –> 00:21:53,380
saying she hates Nashville,
657
00:21:53,460 –> 00:21:55,660
the suburbs that she’s running to represent,
658
00:21:56,100 –> 00:21:57,620
that she hates country music,
659
00:21:57,620 –> 00:21:59,700
that she hates bachelorette parties.
660
00:22:00,020 –> 00:22:01,220
She went down a list of things.
661
00:22:01,220 –> 00:22:02,260
And when challenged,
662
00:22:02,580 –> 00:22:03,700
even by Ms.
663
00:22:03,700 –> 00:22:07,380
Now, the new version of MSNBC and CNN,
664
00:22:07,460 –> 00:22:10,260
who to their credit actually said,
665
00:22:10,260 –> 00:22:11,340
you said these things,
666
00:22:11,340 –> 00:22:12,180
how do you respond?
667
00:22:12,180 –> 00:22:12,820
She doubled down.
668
00:22:13,140 –> 00:22:14,900
She didn’t walk away from anything that she said.
669
00:22:14,940 –> 00:22:15,820
And it was that close.
670
00:22:15,820 –> 00:22:16,660
And it was that close.
671
00:22:16,980 –> 00:22:17,700
So it’s becoming,
672
00:22:18,340 –> 00:22:20,220
what is Nashville County?
673
00:22:20,220 –> 00:22:21,100
What is that?
674
00:22:21,100 –> 00:22:22,100
Is it Nashville County?
675
00:22:22,580 –> 00:22:23,700
I think it’s Knox County,
676
00:22:23,700 –> 00:22:23,980
isn’t it?
677
00:22:23,980 –> 00:22:24,500
Knoxcom.
678
00:22:24,820 –> 00:22:26,260
It’s becoming Oakland County now?
679
00:22:26,260 –> 00:22:26,380
Yeah.
680
00:22:27,220 –> 00:22:27,340
Wow.
681
00:22:27,340 –> 00:22:28,300
Yeah, absolutely.
682
00:22:28,420 –> 00:22:30,180
But you look at Austin and Texas.
683
00:22:31,140 –> 00:22:34,300
that city has quadrupled over the last 20 years.
684
00:22:34,660 –> 00:22:36,580
And it’s all people coming from California.
685
00:22:37,060 –> 00:22:39,500
And it’s turned that into one of the most liberal cities
686
00:22:39,500 –> 00:22:42,740
in America and one of the reddest states in America.
687
00:22:42,740 –> 00:22:45,660
They run away for what reason and then come and export
688
00:22:45,660 –> 00:22:48,260
their values to the places to turn those places into
689
00:22:48,260 –> 00:22:50,100
the shipbag California they left.
690
00:22:51,260 –> 00:22:51,940
Where’s the middle,
691
00:22:51,940 –> 00:22:52,340
man?
692
00:22:53,300 –> 00:22:54,660
You know, where’s the middle?
693
00:22:54,660 –> 00:22:55,220
Wyoming.
694
00:22:56,740 –> 00:22:57,740
Can’t afford it anymore,
695
00:22:57,740 –> 00:22:57,980
man.
696
00:22:57,980 –> 00:23:00,340
All the fuckers from California move there.
697
00:23:01,340 –> 00:23:01,780
I don’t know.
698
00:23:01,780 –> 00:23:06,020
Okay, but here’s why I was just thinking about it.
699
00:23:06,420 –> 00:23:08,420
That Smurf piece,
700
00:23:08,420 –> 00:23:10,340
you can find that at the Michigan Enjoyer.
701
00:23:10,340 –> 00:23:11,540
Enjoyer.com.
702
00:23:11,540 –> 00:23:12,660
Go to enjoyer.com.
703
00:23:12,740 –> 00:23:13,860
This needs to go viral.
704
00:23:13,860 –> 00:23:16,340
People need to understand what has been happening.
705
00:23:16,340 –> 00:23:17,740
And this has been happening a long time.
706
00:23:17,740 –> 00:23:18,380
And the nice,
707
00:23:18,380 –> 00:23:21,060
simple way that we did it with all the receipts,
708
00:23:21,060 –> 00:23:21,380
right?
709
00:23:21,380 –> 00:23:23,380
All the spreadsheets.
710
00:23:23,380 –> 00:23:24,420
Here’s the video.
711
00:23:24,420 –> 00:23:25,060
It’s true.
712
00:23:25,380 –> 00:23:26,340
And I was thinking,
713
00:23:27,060 –> 00:23:29,500
Enjoyer.com and subscribe,
714
00:23:29,700 –> 00:23:29,860
right?
715
00:23:29,860 –> 00:23:31,140
And then you’ll get the update.
716
00:23:32,500 –> 00:23:34,780
That’s a nice little motherfucker we’re creating over
717
00:23:34,780 –> 00:23:34,900
there.
718
00:23:34,900 –> 00:23:35,420
Don’t you think,
719
00:23:35,420 –> 00:23:35,700
Ken?
720
00:23:36,380 –> 00:23:36,500
Yes.
721
00:23:36,500 –> 00:23:37,580
Like, I don’t,
722
00:23:37,940 –> 00:23:38,580
it’s free.
723
00:23:38,580 –> 00:23:40,100
It’s still 100%
724
00:23:40,100 –> 00:23:40,500
free.
725
00:23:40,500 –> 00:23:41,100
All of it,
726
00:23:41,140 –> 00:23:42,020
all the content.
727
00:23:42,180 –> 00:23:43,180
Good original content.
728
00:23:43,180 –> 00:23:43,540
It is.
729
00:23:45,780 –> 00:23:47,740
It’s the fastest growing new site in Michigan.
730
00:23:47,740 –> 00:23:49,060
It’s the fifth largest now.
731
00:23:49,380 –> 00:23:51,940
And it’s the only place I actually really need to go,
732
00:23:52,420 –> 00:23:53,380
except for sports.
733
00:23:53,780 –> 00:23:54,500
You know what I mean?
734
00:23:54,740 –> 00:23:55,140
But like…
735
00:23:55,140 –> 00:23:56,820
They do a pretty good job of high school sports,
736
00:23:56,900 –> 00:23:57,020
though.
737
00:23:57,060 –> 00:23:58,740
They covered the high school football.
738
00:24:00,100 –> 00:24:01,060
You noticed that,
739
00:24:01,060 –> 00:24:01,380
didn’t you?
740
00:24:01,380 –> 00:24:01,780
Yes, I did.
741
00:24:01,860 –> 00:24:05,700
Because we figured that’s an underserved part that.
742
00:24:06,020 –> 00:24:07,460
We would otherwise never know.
743
00:24:07,460 –> 00:24:10,100
You know, some of these divisions and schools from
744
00:24:10,100 –> 00:24:11,580
around the state were even participating.
745
00:24:11,580 –> 00:24:13,380
That’s one of the nice things about the Enjoyer.
746
00:24:13,380 –> 00:24:13,940
Exactly.
747
00:24:13,940 –> 00:24:15,780
And what I wanted to do was pump it up a little bit
748
00:24:15,780 –> 00:24:16,580
because, okay,
749
00:24:18,140 –> 00:24:18,540
Detroit News,
750
00:24:18,540 –> 00:24:19,380
Detroit Free Press,
751
00:24:19,380 –> 00:24:20,100
the States.
752
00:24:22,340 –> 00:24:24,180
The 2 biggest cities in Wayne County,
753
00:24:24,180 –> 00:24:27,780
the biggest county in Michigan is Detroit and Livonia.
754
00:24:28,500 –> 00:24:28,940
And
755
00:24:29,460 –> 00:24:30,660
They’re just not.
756
00:24:32,780 –> 00:24:34,260
Do they even border each other?
757
00:24:34,260 –> 00:24:34,660
Do they?
758
00:24:35,140 –> 00:24:35,860
They do, right?
759
00:24:36,500 –> 00:24:37,420
At what road?
760
00:24:37,420 –> 00:24:38,020
Inkster?
761
00:24:39,140 –> 00:24:39,580
I don’t know.
762
00:24:40,660 –> 00:24:41,060
Yeah.
763
00:24:42,740 –> 00:24:44,900
No, There’s like a two mile buffer,
764
00:24:44,900 –> 00:24:45,300
maybe.
765
00:24:46,580 –> 00:24:47,780
Like I thought they bordered.
766
00:24:47,780 –> 00:24:48,820
You’re born in there.
767
00:24:50,580 –> 00:24:51,060
We looked at.
768
00:24:51,220 –> 00:24:51,940
But anyway,
769
00:24:52,420 –> 00:24:56,980
if you look at the politics of this region,
770
00:24:56,980 –> 00:24:57,860
like Wayne County,
771
00:24:58,580 –> 00:24:59,460
It’s Detroit,
772
00:24:59,620 –> 00:25:01,220
the largest black city in Livonia,
773
00:25:01,220 –> 00:25:02,580
which was once the whitest city.
774
00:25:03,140 –> 00:25:04,420
That’s the makeup up here.
775
00:25:04,500 –> 00:25:04,900
You’re right.
776
00:25:04,900 –> 00:25:06,020
Does not directly border it.
777
00:25:06,300 –> 00:25:06,860
I didn’t think so.
778
00:25:06,900 –> 00:25:07,780
Redford Township.
779
00:25:07,860 –> 00:25:08,540
Redford Township.
780
00:25:08,940 –> 00:25:09,380
Yes.
781
00:25:09,540 –> 00:25:11,220
And I think you’re going to the south,
782
00:25:11,220 –> 00:25:11,700
maybe.
783
00:25:12,100 –> 00:25:12,500
I don’t know.
784
00:25:13,540 –> 00:25:14,180
Getting into like,
785
00:25:15,540 –> 00:25:18,660
but nobody covers it.
786
00:25:18,660 –> 00:25:22,580
Nobody, nobody’s covering like Livonia or the affluent
787
00:25:22,820 –> 00:25:23,860
western suburbs,
788
00:25:23,860 –> 00:25:25,460
Novi, Northville,
789
00:25:25,460 –> 00:25:25,660
right?
790
00:25:26,180 –> 00:25:27,220
Livingston County.
791
00:25:27,940 –> 00:25:28,980
But the enjoyer is.
792
00:25:28,980 –> 00:25:31,580
And what’s Jay’s last name?
793
00:25:31,580 –> 00:25:32,260
Murray, right?
794
00:25:32,740 –> 00:25:33,780
We call him DeLorean.
795
00:25:34,220 –> 00:25:35,140
He’s a private eye.
796
00:25:35,300 –> 00:25:36,660
And he’s covering that shit.
797
00:25:36,820 –> 00:25:38,580
And it’s dynamite.
798
00:25:38,580 –> 00:25:39,220
And you know,
799
00:25:39,300 –> 00:25:40,500
Apes of Wall Street on Twitter?
800
00:25:41,460 –> 00:25:44,060
That guy picked up his story about Livonia.
801
00:25:44,060 –> 00:25:45,140
Yeah, I saw that.
802
00:25:45,140 –> 00:25:45,860
I saw it on Apes.
803
00:25:46,340 –> 00:25:50,020
And why would Apes of Wall Street pick up a story about
804
00:25:50,180 –> 00:25:52,340
Livonia City Hall machinations and
805
00:25:52,980 –> 00:25:55,700
two-bit trying to rip the public off because it goes
806
00:25:55,700 –> 00:25:56,420
on everywhere,
807
00:25:56,980 –> 00:25:57,300
right?
808
00:25:57,620 –> 00:25:59,220
And that’s what’s cool about the Enjoyer.
809
00:25:59,220 –> 00:26:01,060
Like, whatever we’re laying on,
810
00:26:01,060 –> 00:26:02,180
I see Miss Apling,
811
00:26:02,260 –> 00:26:05,380
but that’s going on in Wyoming and Nashville.
812
00:26:05,620 –> 00:26:08,900
And I’m just kind of impressed by it.
813
00:26:08,900 –> 00:26:10,340
And I’m glad to be a part of it.
814
00:26:10,580 –> 00:26:11,620
And I wanted to play,
815
00:26:12,260 –> 00:26:14,900
Ken, this is a Ken Beckapalooza.
816
00:26:16,100 –> 00:26:19,540
You can see we are definitely the largest
817
00:26:20,020 –> 00:26:22,860
purveyor of original video now in news or even bigger
818
00:26:22,860 –> 00:26:24,020
than the TV stations.
819
00:26:24,340 –> 00:26:27,300
And they have a look and it’s Ken’s look.
820
00:26:28,300 –> 00:26:29,180
And I had to teach Ken,
821
00:26:29,180 –> 00:26:29,500
of course.
822
00:26:29,500 –> 00:26:30,740
I’m taking all credit for Ken.
823
00:26:30,740 –> 00:26:32,100
And then Ken,
824
00:26:32,420 –> 00:26:34,340
Ken is teaching everybody my bits.
825
00:26:35,540 –> 00:26:36,100
I’m like, dude,
826
00:26:36,740 –> 00:26:38,580
everybody can’t pop out of the weeds.
827
00:26:39,700 –> 00:26:40,820
I pop out of the weeds.
828
00:26:40,820 –> 00:26:42,100
He’s popping out of the weeds.
829
00:26:42,500 –> 00:26:43,460
But he’s got it now.
830
00:26:43,620 –> 00:26:45,460
And it’s great because Ken,
831
00:26:46,100 –> 00:26:47,540
This is high quality shit.
832
00:26:47,540 –> 00:26:48,260
Mark Naida,
833
00:26:48,260 –> 00:26:51,380
the executive editors come from the Wall Street Journal,
834
00:26:51,700 –> 00:26:51,900
right?
835
00:26:51,900 –> 00:26:52,660
Troy News.
836
00:26:52,980 –> 00:26:57,340
Ken was executive producer of Let It Rip and did 10
837
00:26:57,340 –> 00:26:59,620
or the 11 o’clock or both?
838
00:27:00,260 –> 00:27:00,820
You know what I mean?
839
00:27:00,980 –> 00:27:03,300
So this isn’t fly by night.
840
00:27:03,460 –> 00:27:07,860
It’s sort of a dream spot I fell into because we have
841
00:27:07,900 –> 00:27:09,060
all these years of experience,
842
00:27:09,220 –> 00:27:11,780
but now we get to be experimental and it’s working.
843
00:27:12,500 –> 00:27:14,380
And now we get to reinvent.
844
00:27:15,220 –> 00:27:17,700
the medium using the old values,
845
00:27:18,100 –> 00:27:19,140
doing the work,
846
00:27:19,460 –> 00:27:19,620
right?
847
00:27:20,020 –> 00:27:21,540
So this is J.
848
00:27:21,540 –> 00:27:23,700
Murray, Livonia City Hall.
849
00:27:24,580 –> 00:27:27,540
Should we watch it or should we set it up?
850
00:27:28,180 –> 00:27:28,980
Let me set up real quick.
851
00:27:29,460 –> 00:27:30,100
Basically,
852
00:27:30,100 –> 00:27:35,460
a Republican city council person who’s had a lifetime
853
00:27:35,460 –> 00:27:38,780
in politics decided to opt out in the 80s from the
854
00:27:39,380 –> 00:27:41,780
defined contribution plan so she didn’t pay into it.
855
00:27:42,420 –> 00:27:44,660
Now that she’s retiring,
856
00:27:45,620 –> 00:27:48,420
Trying to set up a little scheme where she gets a $25,000
857
00:27:48,420 –> 00:27:51,300
payout and health benefits in retirement.
858
00:27:51,380 –> 00:27:52,980
Come on.
859
00:27:53,380 –> 00:27:54,500
It’s skeezy.
860
00:27:55,060 –> 00:27:56,100
It’s freaking skeezy.
861
00:27:56,540 –> 00:27:58,700
And when I was fucking hounding for Kano,
862
00:27:58,700 –> 00:28:02,580
that’s what they were doing right at the county commission.
863
00:28:03,380 –> 00:28:06,420
Double, double retirement packages.
864
00:28:06,500 –> 00:28:08,420
Like, you worked here for fucking years.
865
00:28:08,580 –> 00:28:09,140
Yes, well,
866
00:28:09,140 –> 00:28:10,420
I bought out my last year.
867
00:28:10,740 –> 00:28:12,580
You paid for a year’s work.
868
00:28:12,820 –> 00:28:14,340
So you’re 40 years old,
869
00:28:14,340 –> 00:28:14,900
motherfucker.
870
00:28:15,620 –> 00:28:17,140
So you have 40 years of a pension.
871
00:28:17,180 –> 00:28:19,140
These are not supposed to be investment vehicles.
872
00:28:19,140 –> 00:28:19,780
Oh my God,
873
00:28:19,940 –> 00:28:21,220
dude, we’re so broke.
874
00:28:21,220 –> 00:28:22,100
Poor Lansing.
875
00:28:22,140 –> 00:28:24,020
And this is your leadership.
876
00:28:24,180 –> 00:28:25,140
She’s a Republican.
877
00:28:25,140 –> 00:28:25,460
This one.
878
00:28:25,620 –> 00:28:26,860
Welcome to Livonia City Hall,
879
00:28:26,860 –> 00:28:29,260
where transparency is optional and surprise payments
880
00:28:29,260 –> 00:28:30,180
are the hottest trend.
881
00:28:30,580 –> 00:28:32,380
We started asking about an ordinance that would have
882
00:28:32,380 –> 00:28:33,180
quietly funneled pens
883
00:28:33,260 –> 00:28:35,700
thousands of dollars in taxpayer money to retiring
884
00:28:35,700 –> 00:28:37,380
council member Laura Toy.
885
00:28:37,460 –> 00:28:39,780
But it’s getting yeeted off the council agenda like
886
00:28:39,780 –> 00:28:41,140
incriminating browser history.
887
00:28:41,180 –> 00:28:41,580
The ordinance.
888
00:28:41,860 –> 00:28:43,900
I would have reinstated a pension benefit she personally
889
00:28:43,900 –> 00:28:46,180
opted out of in 1987.
890
00:28:46,180 –> 00:28:48,060
when people were still buying cassette tapes.
891
00:28:48,220 –> 00:28:48,860
Bold move.
892
00:28:48,860 –> 00:28:52,220
I’d like to retroactively opt into Bitcoin in 2010.
893
00:28:52,300 –> 00:28:53,660
We’re told this thing was rushed,
894
00:28:53,660 –> 00:28:56,420
sloppy, and being hustled through city hall like contraband
895
00:28:56,420 –> 00:28:57,740
at a middle school sleepover.
896
00:28:57,980 –> 00:28:59,860
Nothing says public service like speedrunning your
897
00:28:59,860 –> 00:29:00,460
own severance.
898
00:29:00,980 –> 00:29:02,780
So we at the Enjoyer ask a simple question.
899
00:29:02,900 –> 00:29:05,820
What’s this mysterious bag of cash for a retiring politician?
900
00:29:06,140 –> 00:29:07,140
The council panicked.
901
00:29:07,420 –> 00:29:07,980
No debate,
902
00:29:08,060 –> 00:29:09,020
no explanation.
903
00:29:09,340 –> 00:29:11,340
And they’re trying to pull it from the agenda like
904
00:29:11,340 –> 00:29:13,420
they got caught sending money to the Cayman Islands.
905
00:29:13,740 –> 00:29:14,540
No defense,
906
00:29:15,020 –> 00:29:15,660
no delay.
907
00:29:16,060 –> 00:29:17,100
They’re trying to pheno-snap it.
908
00:29:17,100 –> 00:29:19,100
That’s not transparency.
909
00:29:19,740 –> 00:29:21,820
That’s witness protection for legislation.
910
00:29:22,060 –> 00:29:22,620
That’s it.
911
00:29:22,940 –> 00:29:24,140
Apparently no ordinance.
912
00:29:24,220 –> 00:29:25,660
No retroactive payday.
913
00:29:26,540 –> 00:29:28,860
The taxpayers were saved simply because the Enjoyer
914
00:29:28,860 –> 00:29:29,460
asked questions.
915
00:29:29,660 –> 00:29:30,340
Wild idea.
916
00:29:30,380 –> 00:29:32,140
Maybe we should talk about the potholes next.
917
00:29:32,300 –> 00:29:33,340
So congratulations,
918
00:29:33,340 –> 00:29:33,820
motherfuckers.
919
00:29:33,980 –> 00:29:36,340
The Michigan Enjoyer just saved you a nice stack of
920
00:29:36,340 –> 00:29:37,900
cash again.
921
00:29:40,620 –> 00:29:41,020
That’s great.
922
00:29:41,580 –> 00:29:41,980
That’s Ken.
923
00:29:42,020 –> 00:29:43,020
Well done.
924
00:29:43,180 –> 00:29:43,580
Ken’s like,
925
00:29:43,580 –> 00:29:44,460
say this now.
926
00:29:44,860 –> 00:29:45,860
Stand by the pothole.
927
00:29:45,860 –> 00:29:46,540
Are you doing that,
928
00:29:46,540 –> 00:29:46,780
Ken?
929
00:29:46,780 –> 00:29:47,180
He is.
930
00:29:47,180 –> 00:29:48,340
He’s totally directed.
931
00:29:48,780 –> 00:29:49,180
But it’s good.
932
00:29:49,300 –> 00:29:50,060
And you know,
933
00:29:51,660 –> 00:29:52,620
people at the Enjoyer are like,
934
00:29:53,020 –> 00:29:54,780
Jay, but you know what to do with your hands.
935
00:29:56,140 –> 00:29:58,540
So you told him to stick him in his pocket.
936
00:30:01,500 –> 00:30:02,300
But again,
937
00:30:02,460 –> 00:30:05,900
local news lives and it’s of national import.
938
00:30:06,900 –> 00:30:07,660
It’s cool.
939
00:30:08,780 –> 00:30:09,180
You know?
940
00:30:09,500 –> 00:30:09,940
It’s good work.
941
00:30:09,940 –> 00:30:12,140
I’m going to bring you another one after I tell you
942
00:30:12,140 –> 00:30:12,860
about Made in Detroit.
943
00:30:12,860 –> 00:30:13,340
Look at that.
944
00:30:13,740 –> 00:30:14,140
Come on.
945
00:30:14,140 –> 00:30:14,460
Look at that,
946
00:30:14,460 –> 00:30:14,780
Jason.
947
00:30:15,180 –> 00:30:16,660
Look at that.
948
00:30:17,140 –> 00:30:17,780
Beautiful.
949
00:30:17,780 –> 00:30:18,300
Very manly.
950
00:30:18,460 –> 00:30:19,260
Very manly.
951
00:30:19,260 –> 00:30:21,340
Made in Detroit right there.

00:30:22,060 –> 00:30:23,580
Go to made in Detroit.com.
953
00:30:23,900 –> 00:30:25,260
It’s just for the holidays,
954
00:30:25,420 –> 00:30:25,740
right?
955
00:30:25,740 –> 00:30:27,100
So get your collector’s item.
956
00:30:27,100 –> 00:30:28,220
Great stocking stuffer.
957
00:30:28,460 –> 00:30:29,500
Yeah, I think it is.
958
00:30:29,900 –> 00:30:30,860
They’re quite cool.
959
00:30:31,060 –> 00:30:31,700
I’m going to give you one.
960
00:30:31,700 –> 00:30:32,780
No, I’m not going to give you one.
961
00:30:32,780 –> 00:30:34,140
Just go fucking buy one.
962
00:30:34,540 –> 00:30:35,820
Made in Detroit.com.
963
00:30:35,980 –> 00:30:37,420
And then when you get there,
964
00:30:37,420 –> 00:30:39,500
you’re going to see all the cool swag they have.
965
00:30:39,900 –> 00:30:41,580
Like you’ll like it.
966
00:30:41,580 –> 00:30:45,940
They got the nice tracksuits and the jack.
967
00:30:45,940 –> 00:30:46,780
Look, right there.
968
00:30:46,940 –> 00:30:47,540
Look at that jack.
969
00:30:47,540 –> 00:30:48,780
I got that middle one right there.
970
00:30:49,020 –> 00:30:50,300
I’ve actually got all three of those.
971
00:30:50,300 –> 00:30:51,020
It looks like you.
972
00:30:52,220 –> 00:30:53,260
Yeah, it’s cool stuff.
973
00:30:53,820 –> 00:30:54,620
in Detroit,
974
00:30:54,620 –> 00:30:55,500
by Detroit,
975
00:30:55,620 –> 00:30:56,300
of Detroit.
976
00:30:57,260 –> 00:30:58,220
Great, great holiday.
977
00:30:58,220 –> 00:30:58,860
Look at that.
978
00:30:58,860 –> 00:30:59,820
Rosie the Riveter.
979
00:30:59,820 –> 00:31:01,020
They got one with Big Boy.
980
00:31:03,420 –> 00:31:03,820
Look at that.
981
00:31:03,820 –> 00:31:05,100
It’s really good,
982
00:31:05,100 –> 00:31:05,700
great stuff.
983
00:31:05,700 –> 00:31:07,100
It’s made in Detroit.com.
984
00:31:07,220 –> 00:31:07,900
And by the way,
985
00:31:08,140 –> 00:31:13,740
every dollar from this is going to go to us helping
986
00:31:14,460 –> 00:31:17,220
some undisclosed young person.
987
00:31:17,220 –> 00:31:18,660
That’s what we’re doing with that money.
988
00:31:18,660 –> 00:31:19,100
So
989
00:31:19,740 –> 00:31:22,100
Those of you that call me and say you’d like one of
990
00:31:22,100 –> 00:31:23,300
the old fix the shit shirts,
991
00:31:23,300 –> 00:31:24,780
we’ll worry about that in the new year.
992
00:31:24,780 –> 00:31:25,660
Go get one of these.
993
00:31:26,260 –> 00:31:26,380
Yeah.
994
00:31:27,180 –> 00:31:27,820
Did you get one yet,
995
00:31:27,820 –> 00:31:28,060
Mart?
996
00:31:28,700 –> 00:31:29,580
No, not yet.
997
00:31:29,580 –> 00:31:32,060
I’m one of those late Christmas shoppers.
998
00:31:32,380 –> 00:31:32,660
It’s good.
999
00:31:32,940 –> 00:31:34,260
So I’ll buy it before Christmas,
1000
00:31:34,300 –> 00:31:36,620
but it’ll be shipped around my birthday in January.
1001
00:31:36,620 –> 00:31:38,300
So it’ll be a birthday Christmas present.
1002
00:31:38,300 –> 00:31:39,540
It’s good to see your brother at the game.
1003
00:31:39,540 –> 00:31:39,660
Yeah.
1004
00:31:40,460 –> 00:31:41,260
He’s a cool dude.
1005
00:31:41,820 –> 00:31:43,100
Way cooler than me.
1006
00:31:43,500 –> 00:31:43,660
Yeah.
1007
00:31:43,900 –> 00:31:44,460
By a mild.
1008
00:31:44,980 –> 00:31:45,620
By a mild.
1009
00:31:45,620 –> 00:31:46,300
No, I’ll admit it.
1010
00:31:46,300 –> 00:31:47,260
You’re kind of glubby.
1011
00:31:47,260 –> 00:31:48,180
He’s kind of funny.
1012
00:31:48,180 –> 00:31:50,460
And then his son speaking with that Dixie.
1013
00:31:51,220 –> 00:31:51,500
I was like,
1014
00:31:51,500 –> 00:31:52,620
you gotta get that boy out of the south.
1015
00:31:52,620 –> 00:31:53,420
He talking like this.
1016
00:31:53,740 –> 00:31:54,460
I’ve never,
1017
00:31:54,940 –> 00:31:57,020
I was around his buddy was with him too and they both
1018
00:31:57,580 –> 00:31:59,260
unironically used the word reckon.
1019
00:31:59,260 –> 00:31:59,820
I’m like, oh,
1020
00:31:59,900 –> 00:32:00,340
that’s right.
1021
00:32:00,340 –> 00:32:01,820
That’s a word you guys using down there.
1022
00:32:01,820 –> 00:32:02,460
I reckon.
1023
00:32:03,420 –> 00:32:04,220
Yeah, I reckon.
1024
00:32:04,220 –> 00:32:04,780
I’m fixing.
1025
00:32:04,820 –> 00:32:05,580
I’m fixing this.
1026
00:32:06,540 –> 00:32:07,660
They’re what,
1027
00:32:07,660 –> 00:32:07,940
19?
1028
00:32:07,940 –> 00:32:08,060
Yeah.
1029
00:32:08,300 –> 00:32:09,100
You’re drinking beer.
1030
00:32:09,140 –> 00:32:09,900
My daughter’s 19.
1031
00:32:10,300 –> 00:32:12,140
And I go, go talk to people your age.
1032
00:32:12,380 –> 00:32:12,820
Fuck it.
1033
00:32:12,820 –> 00:32:15,020
Talk to people your age.
1034
00:32:15,020 –> 00:32:16,540
She goes, they’re drinking beer.
1035
00:32:16,620 –> 00:32:17,660
And I go, I go,
1036
00:32:17,740 –> 00:32:18,540
you want a wine?
1037
00:32:18,540 –> 00:32:18,940
And she goes,
1038
00:32:18,940 –> 00:32:19,380
can I?
1039
00:32:19,380 –> 00:32:19,500
Yeah.
1040
00:32:20,420 –> 00:32:21,540
I go, I see nothing.
1041
00:32:21,540 –> 00:32:23,500
That was a good time.
1042
00:32:23,500 –> 00:32:24,460
Where are these boys from?
1043
00:32:25,420 –> 00:32:25,780
Virginia.
1044
00:32:25,860 –> 00:32:26,980
Southwestern Virginia.
1045
00:32:26,980 –> 00:32:27,420
Virginia.
1046
00:32:27,580 –> 00:32:29,020
Yeah, right near the border.
1047
00:32:29,700 –> 00:32:30,740
Down there in clan country.
1048
00:32:30,740 –> 00:32:32,100
That is clan country too.
1049
00:32:32,100 –> 00:32:32,740
That’s Crackerville,
1050
00:32:32,740 –> 00:32:32,860
yeah.
1051
00:32:34,460 –> 00:32:35,020
I’m telling you,
1052
00:32:35,500 –> 00:32:39,180
the headquarters of the Loyal White Knights,
1053
00:32:39,660 –> 00:32:40,780
the Ku Klux Klan,
1054
00:32:41,420 –> 00:32:43,580
that’s where they’re at because I went to visit them.
1055
00:32:44,460 –> 00:32:45,980
You know, they have a hotline.
1056
00:32:45,980 –> 00:32:47,180
Yes, the Klan has a hotline.
1057
00:32:48,140 –> 00:32:49,580
And I called them up and they were going to have a
1058
00:32:49,580 –> 00:32:51,060
rally in South Carolina.
1059
00:32:51,060 –> 00:32:51,580
And I’m like,
1060
00:32:52,380 –> 00:32:52,740
I’d like to,
1061
00:32:53,340 –> 00:32:55,380
I’d like to carpool with the Grand Wizard.
1062
00:32:55,380 –> 00:32:56,460
Is this from the Americans?
1063
00:32:56,460 –> 00:32:56,780
Yeah.
1064
00:32:56,820 –> 00:32:57,500
I remember seeing it.
1065
00:32:57,500 –> 00:32:57,820
Yeah.
1066
00:32:58,220 –> 00:32:59,420
When I offered him a cracker.
1067
00:33:01,780 –> 00:33:02,300
He goes, I go,
1068
00:33:02,300 –> 00:33:02,860
cracker.
1069
00:33:03,420 –> 00:33:04,140
He goes, I see.
1070
00:33:04,620 –> 00:33:07,020
And then KK Calvin sitting in the back with me.
1071
00:33:08,300 –> 00:33:08,860
KK Calvin.
1072
00:33:09,180 –> 00:33:09,580
KK Calvin.
1073
00:33:09,980 –> 00:33:10,620
I got the crackers.
1074
00:33:10,620 –> 00:33:12,380
He goes, ain’t no shame in my game.
1075
00:33:12,380 –> 00:33:12,740
I’ll take one.
1076
00:33:12,740 –> 00:33:13,300
Yeah, that’s right.
1077
00:33:13,980 –> 00:33:15,380
That’s a great piece.
1078
00:33:17,820 –> 00:33:18,780
Yeah, but we’re from the North.
1079
00:33:18,780 –> 00:33:19,660
Made it to Detroit.
1080
00:33:20,940 –> 00:33:22,540
There’s a picture of Charlie at the game there.
1081
00:33:23,020 –> 00:33:24,060
You made that hat too.
1082
00:33:24,060 –> 00:33:24,620
I love that.
1083
00:33:24,780 –> 00:33:25,780
Yeah, great game.
1084
00:33:25,780 –> 00:33:26,380
Great picture,
1085
00:33:26,380 –> 00:33:26,660
you guys.
1086
00:33:26,780 –> 00:33:27,980
People took a lot of pictures of that.
1087
00:33:27,980 –> 00:33:28,300
See,
1088
00:33:28,780 –> 00:33:29,740
That’s a bear,
1089
00:33:29,740 –> 00:33:31,860
but I just told her to tell people it’s a Wolverine.
1090
00:33:31,860 –> 00:33:33,100
It’s a bear hat.
1091
00:33:33,180 –> 00:33:33,740
It works.
1092
00:33:33,900 –> 00:33:34,780
Yeah, it was fun.
1093
00:33:34,820 –> 00:33:35,580
It’s a good time.
1094
00:33:36,060 –> 00:33:36,620
Look at that.
1095
00:33:36,620 –> 00:33:38,220
That’s my cheerleading sweater she’s wearing.
1096
00:33:39,020 –> 00:33:39,660
It was fun.
1097
00:33:39,660 –> 00:33:40,380
I had a great time.
1098
00:33:41,900 –> 00:33:43,500
Okay, here’s another one from the Enjoyer.
1099
00:33:43,500 –> 00:33:45,260
This one is from James Dixon.
1100
00:33:45,540 –> 00:33:47,020
This motherfucker’s cut throughout.
1101
00:33:47,420 –> 00:33:50,380
Yeah, he’s he didn’t take no prisoners,
1102
00:33:50,420 –> 00:33:50,700
does he?
1103
00:33:51,300 –> 00:33:51,500
Right?
1104
00:33:51,500 –> 00:33:52,060
He’s become.
1105
00:33:53,420 –> 00:33:55,900
a high thinking personality,
1106
00:33:55,900 –> 00:33:56,220
right?
1107
00:33:56,460 –> 00:33:57,740
But what you’re getting there.
1108
00:33:58,100 –> 00:34:00,300
And for those of you listening,
1109
00:34:00,300 –> 00:34:06,780
go to enjoyer.com or enjoyer on Instagram or YouTube.
1110
00:34:06,780 –> 00:34:07,500
Is it on YouTube?
1111
00:34:08,140 –> 00:34:09,420
Or Facebook,
1112
00:34:09,500 –> 00:34:09,900
you know,
1113
00:34:10,060 –> 00:34:12,940
and watch these if you’re downloading and listening.
1114
00:34:13,020 –> 00:34:17,260
Because the opening here is James going up an escalator
1115
00:34:17,420 –> 00:34:18,460
and down an escalator.
1116
00:34:18,660 –> 00:34:19,540
And talking to himself.
1117
00:34:19,540 –> 00:34:21,580
It’s a he’s talking to himself.
1118
00:34:22,060 –> 00:34:22,540
Ken.
1119
00:34:23,340 –> 00:34:23,820
Excellent,
1120
00:34:23,820 –> 00:34:24,060
bro.
1121
00:34:24,460 –> 00:34:24,860
All right.
1122
00:34:25,260 –> 00:34:27,700
We know that the feds have your Social Security number.
1123
00:34:27,700 –> 00:34:30,220
They’re the ones who issue Social Security numbers.
1124
00:34:30,220 –> 00:34:30,660
Looking good.
1125
00:34:30,780 –> 00:34:31,420
Back at you.
1126
00:34:31,660 –> 00:34:33,020
We know that Jocelyn Benson,
1127
00:34:33,020 –> 00:34:34,220
our Secretary of State,
1128
00:34:34,460 –> 00:34:36,940
has shared Michigan voter data with nonprofits like
1129
00:34:37,020 –> 00:34:38,220
Eric and Rock the Vote.
1130
00:34:39,020 –> 00:34:39,820
Kill Whitey!
1131
00:34:42,300 –> 00:34:45,060
Every Democrat operative in America has access to
1132
00:34:45,060 –> 00:34:46,900
our voter data if they want it.
1133
00:34:47,100 –> 00:34:49,460
So what does Jocelyn Benson fear in sharing our voter
1134
00:34:49,460 –> 00:34:50,460
rolls with the feds?
1135
00:34:50,820 –> 00:34:53,260
Her official argument fails just on its face.
1136
00:34:53,660 –> 00:34:55,340
So what’s the thing behind the thing?
1137
00:34:55,660 –> 00:34:58,620
Ruth Johnson beat Jocelyn Benson in the 2010 race for
1138
00:34:58,620 –> 00:34:59,740
Secretary of State.
1139
00:34:59,820 –> 00:35:01,100
Now a state senator,
1140
00:35:01,340 –> 00:35:04,500
Johnson has sounded the alarm about election insecurity
1141
00:35:04,500 –> 00:35:05,260
in Michigan.
1142
00:35:05,420 –> 00:35:08,220
Johnson points to the Help America Vote verification
1143
00:35:08,220 –> 00:35:08,700
system.
1144
00:35:08,860 –> 00:35:09,180
Last year,
1145
00:35:09,180 –> 00:35:11,820
100,000 people registered to vote in Michigan.
1146
00:35:11,940 –> 00:35:13,340
36% of them,
1147
00:35:13,660 –> 00:35:17,980
36,000 souls had invalid four-digit social security
1148
00:35:17,980 –> 00:35:18,460
numbers.
1149
00:35:19,100 –> 00:35:21,180
and they were allowed to register anyway.
1150
00:35:21,740 –> 00:35:25,500
Michigan has 500,000 more voters registered than we
1151
00:35:25,500 –> 00:35:26,860
have voting age adults.
1152
00:35:27,260 –> 00:35:29,980
How many of those are non-citizens who do not have
1153
00:35:29,980 –> 00:35:31,420
social security numbers?
1154
00:35:31,660 –> 00:35:34,380
Jocelyn Benson isn’t protecting your social security
1155
00:35:34,380 –> 00:35:34,860
number.
1156
00:35:35,100 –> 00:35:37,740
She’s protecting herself after registering voters who
1157
00:35:37,740 –> 00:35:38,780
don’t have one.
1158
00:35:39,180 –> 00:35:41,740
That’s what the feds would find if Benson shared Michigan’s
1159
00:35:41,740 –> 00:35:42,460
voter rolls,
1160
00:35:42,780 –> 00:35:45,740
and that transparency is what Benson fears most.
1161
00:35:48,060 –> 00:35:49,100
That’s federal law.
1162
00:35:50,940 –> 00:35:54,860
So she’s one of the worst secretaries of state in the
1163
00:35:54,860 –> 00:35:55,420
country.
1164
00:35:55,420 –> 00:35:56,700
That’s not partisanship.
1165
00:35:57,420 –> 00:35:58,220
This kind of,
1166
00:35:58,220 –> 00:36:01,540
we have 500,000 more registered voters than we have
1167
00:36:01,540 –> 00:36:03,020
voting age adults in the state.
1168
00:36:03,340 –> 00:36:05,500
The courts have ruled against her multiple times for
1169
00:36:05,500 –> 00:36:08,260
violating the law and her conduct as secretary of
1170
00:36:08,260 –> 00:36:09,580
state administering elections.
1171
00:36:10,780 –> 00:36:11,420
And I mean,
1172
00:36:11,420 –> 00:36:14,140
her rollout of her campaign was one of the most incompetent
1173
00:36:14,300 –> 00:36:15,980
campaign rollouts I’ve ever seen.
1174
00:36:16,140 –> 00:36:16,860
It’s unbelievable.
1175
00:36:16,860 –> 00:36:17,500
And then, you know,
1176
00:36:17,500 –> 00:36:20,460
you’re looking at the Smurfs,
1177
00:36:20,940 –> 00:36:22,620
like all the straw donor shit.
1178
00:36:23,020 –> 00:36:24,020
You know, like I tried to.
1179
00:36:24,060 –> 00:36:25,300
We’re supposed to trust this woman.
1180
00:36:25,540 –> 00:36:28,260
I’m not, this is the law and this is what I want.
1181
00:36:28,260 –> 00:36:28,860
And you know,
1182
00:36:28,860 –> 00:36:29,580
again, I,
1183
00:36:30,260 –> 00:36:30,780
and you.
1184
00:36:32,540 –> 00:36:34,380
There was a mudslide on us in 2020,
1185
00:36:34,460 –> 00:36:38,540
right, when I worked the absentee ballots in TCF and
1186
00:36:38,540 –> 00:36:41,820
told you they didn’t smuggle in 150,000 ballots.
1187
00:36:42,060 –> 00:36:43,260
You know how that came to be,
1188
00:36:43,260 –> 00:36:43,660
actually?
1189
00:36:44,220 –> 00:36:48,540
Trump lost by about 150,000 to Biden.
1190
00:36:49,660 –> 00:36:53,020
And in the early morning,
1191
00:36:53,020 –> 00:36:53,420
like, you know,
1192
00:36:53,420 –> 00:36:56,300
the results as they’re coming into TV and stuff,
1193
00:36:56,780 –> 00:36:57,340
those
1194
00:36:58,060 –> 00:36:58,860
are unofficial.
1195
00:36:58,940 –> 00:37:00,180
And those are hand,
1196
00:37:00,380 –> 00:37:02,660
they’re put in by hand into the computer because the
1197
00:37:02,660 –> 00:37:04,540
real tally cannot be online.
1198
00:37:04,780 –> 00:37:07,820
The real voter tally cannot be online,
1199
00:37:07,820 –> 00:37:09,420
so it can’t be hacked,
1200
00:37:09,420 –> 00:37:09,660
right?
1201
00:37:09,820 –> 00:37:10,860
So basically,
1202
00:37:10,940 –> 00:37:15,180
the clerk is looking at the internal tally and then
1203
00:37:15,180 –> 00:37:17,500
coming over here and sending an e-mail to everybody.
1204
00:37:19,020 –> 00:37:20,940
This was Shiawassee County,
1205
00:37:21,660 –> 00:37:22,460
Republican.
1206
00:37:22,940 –> 00:37:27,100
And instead of 15,300,
1207
00:37:27,580 –> 00:37:28,260
The clerk,
1208
00:37:28,260 –> 00:37:29,100
a Republican,
1209
00:37:29,100 –> 00:37:33,860
mistakenly put in 153,000.
1210
00:37:33,860 –> 00:37:36,300
She added a 0 by mistake to the unofficial.
1211
00:37:36,540 –> 00:37:37,420
20 minutes later,
1212
00:37:37,420 –> 00:37:38,060
fixed it.
1213
00:37:38,460 –> 00:37:39,180
Everybody saw,
1214
00:37:39,180 –> 00:37:39,860
went, whoa,
1215
00:37:39,860 –> 00:37:40,660
it’s 150,
1216
00:37:40,660 –> 00:37:41,580
they stole it.
1217
00:37:41,900 –> 00:37:44,060
Okay, when the Republican clerk said,
1218
00:37:44,220 –> 00:37:46,780
my bad, this is the explanation,
1219
00:37:47,020 –> 00:37:47,820
somehow,
1220
00:37:48,780 –> 00:37:50,460
It’s now Detroit’s fraud,
1221
00:37:50,540 –> 00:37:50,820
right?
1222
00:37:50,820 –> 00:37:52,620
And for no reason whatsoever,
1223
00:37:52,620 –> 00:37:53,340
they just did it.
1224
00:37:53,340 –> 00:37:53,660
And I’m like,
1225
00:37:53,900 –> 00:37:56,060
I was fucking standing there having a cigarette when
1226
00:37:56,060 –> 00:37:57,340
the last ballots came in.
1227
00:37:57,900 –> 00:38:01,220
There was a lot of conflating of different things that
1228
00:38:01,220 –> 00:38:02,380
were happening around the state.
1229
00:38:02,860 –> 00:38:03,180
And they.
1230
00:38:03,580 –> 00:38:06,740
put it into one little stew and decided all this happened
1231
00:38:06,740 –> 00:38:07,260
in Detroit.
1232
00:38:07,260 –> 00:38:09,820
And this is all the forms of stealing.
1233
00:38:09,900 –> 00:38:11,900
Remember, I forget the Northern County,
1234
00:38:11,900 –> 00:38:14,860
which they just had inverted the count.
1235
00:38:14,940 –> 00:38:15,580
Antrim County?
1236
00:38:15,580 –> 00:38:15,900
Antrim.
1237
00:38:15,980 –> 00:38:16,220
Yeah.
1238
00:38:16,540 –> 00:38:18,220
One of the reddest counties in the state.
1239
00:38:18,620 –> 00:38:22,620
And people on the right were believing that the Democrats
1240
00:38:22,620 –> 00:38:25,980
were trying to cheat by stealing a super red county,
1241
00:38:26,220 –> 00:38:29,020
as if no one would notice this red county all of a
1242
00:38:29,020 –> 00:38:29,860
sudden going blue.
1243
00:38:29,860 –> 00:38:31,380
And once the county figured it out,
1244
00:38:31,580 –> 00:38:32,380
but it does,
1245
00:38:32,380 –> 00:38:33,460
however, demonstrate.
1246
00:38:33,660 –> 00:38:37,420
that this system is not flawless and that it can screw
1247
00:38:37,420 –> 00:38:37,740
up.
1248
00:38:37,740 –> 00:38:38,940
And that does,
1249
00:38:38,980 –> 00:38:40,860
I mean, people should be worried about the integrity
1250
00:38:40,860 –> 00:38:41,420
of the system.
1251
00:38:41,500 –> 00:38:43,980
If they can unintentionally fuck it up,
1252
00:38:44,220 –> 00:38:46,300
they can intentionally fuck with it.
1253
00:38:46,540 –> 00:38:46,780
Yep.
1254
00:38:46,900 –> 00:38:49,180
And so way to bring it all the way back around,
1255
00:38:49,740 –> 00:38:54,780
Benson’s sworn duty is to make sure
1256
00:38:55,700 –> 00:38:57,580
The integrity is upheld in these elections.
1257
00:38:57,660 –> 00:39:00,300
And when you’re fucking around and not checking social
1258
00:39:00,300 –> 00:39:05,100
security numbers and telling people to dismiss signatures.
1259
00:39:05,100 –> 00:39:06,700
Well, and that’s worth revisiting.
1260
00:39:06,780 –> 00:39:08,380
After the 2020 election,
1261
00:39:08,380 –> 00:39:09,500
the controversial one,
1262
00:39:10,220 –> 00:39:12,900
the courts ruled against Jocelyn Benson as Secretary
1263
00:39:12,900 –> 00:39:13,300
of State.
1264
00:39:13,300 –> 00:39:14,140
She did two things.
1265
00:39:14,140 –> 00:39:17,260
First, she sent an absentee ballot to every registered
1266
00:39:17,260 –> 00:39:18,140
voter in the state.
1267
00:39:18,380 –> 00:39:19,340
That is illegal.
1268
00:39:19,740 –> 00:39:22,140
You can only get one if you request it.
1269
00:39:22,140 –> 00:39:22,860
You can be sent.
1270
00:39:23,420 –> 00:39:24,820
You mean an application?
1271
00:39:24,820 –> 00:39:25,420
Application.
1272
00:39:25,420 –> 00:39:25,580
Yes.
1273
00:39:26,380 –> 00:39:28,220
And then she allowed people,
1274
00:39:28,380 –> 00:39:29,260
when they voted,
1275
00:39:29,260 –> 00:39:31,500
she instructed the clerks at the township,
1276
00:39:31,740 –> 00:39:35,660
city, and county level to ignore state law that requires
1277
00:39:35,660 –> 00:39:38,220
that when you receive an absentee ballot in the mail,
1278
00:39:38,460 –> 00:39:41,140
you have to compare the signature on that ballot with
1279
00:39:41,140 –> 00:39:43,500
the signature that the clerk has on file.
1280
00:39:44,060 –> 00:39:47,740
Benson instructed the clerks to ignore that law.
1281
00:39:47,740 –> 00:39:49,020
So on 2 counts,
1282
00:39:49,020 –> 00:39:49,580
the courts
1283
00:39:49,700 –> 00:39:54,060
came back after the election and said you were wrong
1284
00:39:54,060 –> 00:39:55,380
and reversed her decision.
1285
00:39:55,740 –> 00:39:57,260
But the votes had already been counted.
1286
00:39:57,340 –> 00:40:00,380
So we have no idea what the impact was on the 2020
1287
00:40:00,380 –> 00:40:00,820
election.
1288
00:40:00,820 –> 00:40:01,260
Indeed.
1289
00:40:01,260 –> 00:40:04,660
And else the federal losses after two federal cycles,
1290
00:40:04,660 –> 00:40:05,980
which is 2 years,
1291
00:40:07,260 –> 00:40:08,380
and there’s no activity,
1292
00:40:08,380 –> 00:40:09,340
send a notice.
1293
00:40:09,660 –> 00:40:12,780
If there’s no return on the notice,
1294
00:40:12,780 –> 00:40:14,940
then start the removal process.
1295
00:40:15,340 –> 00:40:16,220
She won’t do it.
1296
00:40:16,380 –> 00:40:18,100
So we have 500,000.
1297
00:40:18,220 –> 00:40:19,100
We are
1298
00:40:20,460 –> 00:40:21,820
percentage of adults,
1299
00:40:21,820 –> 00:40:22,420
all adults,
1300
00:40:22,420 –> 00:40:23,340
citizens are not,
1301
00:40:23,820 –> 00:40:24,940
residing in Michigan,
1302
00:40:25,020 –> 00:40:26,340
registered to vote is 105%.
1303
00:40:26,340 –> 00:40:29,980
It’s ridiculous.
1304
00:40:29,980 –> 00:40:31,340
Well, and then you have to ask yourself,
1305
00:40:31,660 –> 00:40:35,020
why does she want these invalid voters on the rolls?
1306
00:40:35,180 –> 00:40:37,900
What is the principle that’s so important to protect
1307
00:40:38,220 –> 00:40:40,780
this group of people being on the rolls?
1308
00:40:40,860 –> 00:40:43,540
And it’s why people on the right have questions about
1309
00:40:43,540 –> 00:40:44,860
what are you up to?
1310
00:40:45,180 –> 00:40:47,900
Why not remove the doubt and just take the bad names
1311
00:40:47,900 –> 00:40:48,220
off?
1312
00:40:48,940 –> 00:40:51,100
I think we’re one of the few states in the entire country
1313
00:40:51,100 –> 00:40:52,780
that has refused to comply with this law.
1314
00:40:53,100 –> 00:40:54,420
As is required by law.
1315
00:40:55,100 –> 00:40:56,860
This is all law.
1316
00:40:56,940 –> 00:40:58,940
And now, I forget what,
1317
00:40:58,940 –> 00:41:00,300
2003 maybe?
1318
00:41:01,740 –> 00:41:02,940
Yeah, yep.
1319
00:41:03,340 –> 00:41:05,140
What’s your social security number?
1320
00:41:05,580 –> 00:41:10,340
So what we’ve reported on and what James is reporting
1321
00:41:10,340 –> 00:41:11,900
again, driving it home,
1322
00:41:13,020 –> 00:41:13,500
is
1323
00:41:14,580 –> 00:41:15,260
We belong,
1324
00:41:15,260 –> 00:41:17,580
Michigan and 30 other states and the District of Columbia
1325
00:41:17,580 –> 00:41:18,780
belong to something called ERIC,
1326
00:41:18,780 –> 00:41:21,780
the Electronic Records Information Center or whatever
1327
00:41:21,780 –> 00:41:22,060
it is.
1328
00:41:22,300 –> 00:41:23,900
And Benson,
1329
00:41:23,900 –> 00:41:27,180
it’s a nonprofit run by Benson’s friend and they share
1330
00:41:27,180 –> 00:41:27,580
money.
1331
00:41:28,780 –> 00:41:33,100
She’s given all of our data to a unsecured nonprofit.
1332
00:41:33,260 –> 00:41:34,140
All of our data,
1333
00:41:34,460 –> 00:41:35,740
our social security numbers,
1334
00:41:35,740 –> 00:41:36,780
our voter registration,
1335
00:41:36,780 –> 00:41:37,580
our addresses.
1336
00:41:38,660 –> 00:41:40,700
And when the Department of Justice asked for the same
1337
00:41:40,780 –> 00:41:41,460
stuff, she’s like,
1338
00:41:41,460 –> 00:41:43,900
I’m not going to give it because it’s not secure?
1339
00:41:45,100 –> 00:41:47,660
the federal government that gave us the social security
1340
00:41:47,660 –> 00:41:47,980
numbers?
1341
00:41:47,980 –> 00:41:49,100
What the fuck?
1342
00:41:49,980 –> 00:41:53,420
Okay, let’s talk about somebody intelligent.
1343
00:41:53,740 –> 00:41:54,780
Luke Nowacki,
1344
00:41:54,860 –> 00:41:56,540
Personal Financial Management,
1345
00:41:56,700 –> 00:42:01,100
248-663-4748.
1346
00:42:01,580 –> 00:42:02,100
Is this the…
1347
00:42:03,580 –> 00:42:04,140
Hole-in-one?
1348
00:42:04,220 –> 00:42:05,820
It’s a hole-in-one,
1349
00:42:05,980 –> 00:42:06,460
$50,000 if you hit it.
1350
00:42:08,460 –> 00:42:09,580
Luke Nowacki,
1351
00:42:09,660 –> 00:42:12,060
Financial Wealth Management.
1352
00:42:12,620 –> 00:42:14,540
What is 50 grand after tax?
1353
00:42:17,900 –> 00:42:19,940
37,750.
1354
00:42:20,020 –> 00:42:20,940
What about state tax?
1355
00:42:21,420 –> 00:42:21,900
Yeah, that’s,
1356
00:42:22,420 –> 00:42:23,900
I’m throwing both in there.
1357
00:42:24,380 –> 00:42:25,420
What about sales tax?
1358
00:42:25,580 –> 00:42:26,380
There’s no sales tax.
1359
00:42:26,380 –> 00:42:27,180
Well, you’re buying the beer.
1360
00:42:27,180 –> 00:42:27,580
It’s income.
1361
00:42:27,660 –> 00:42:28,300
You’ll buy the beer.
1362
00:42:28,780 –> 00:42:29,580
We write that off.
1363
00:42:30,820 –> 00:42:31,500
Luke Nowacki,
1364
00:42:32,460 –> 00:42:33,700
Financial Wealth Management.
1365
00:42:33,700 –> 00:42:34,340
Expense loans.
1366
00:42:34,780 –> 00:42:38,620
248-663-4748.
1367
00:42:38,620 –> 00:42:40,460
I’m glad I talked to Luke.
1368
00:42:40,500 –> 00:42:41,420
I’m doing,
1369
00:42:41,580 –> 00:42:43,260
I think the market’s a bit soft.
1370
00:42:43,740 –> 00:42:44,060
You don’t,
1371
00:42:44,060 –> 00:42:45,420
you’re not on the string with Drew,
1372
00:42:45,420 –> 00:42:50,460
but he’s talking about price to earnings and you leveraged
1373
00:42:51,100 –> 00:42:51,820
buyouts.
1374
00:42:51,820 –> 00:42:52,300
And I’m like,
1375
00:42:52,420 –> 00:42:53,260
what’s that mean?
1376
00:42:53,260 –> 00:42:54,060
He goes, that means.
1377
00:42:55,740 –> 00:42:57,100
We’ll stay away from that one.
1378
00:42:57,740 –> 00:43:00,300
Notice how my hair looked really good in that spot
1379
00:43:00,300 –> 00:43:00,620
there.
1380
00:43:01,340 –> 00:43:02,140
Not Luke’s.
1381
00:43:03,540 –> 00:43:04,060
What hair?
1382
00:43:04,400 –> 00:43:05,280
Well, exactly.
1383
00:43:05,280 –> 00:43:07,520
You know, all the riches in the world,
1384
00:43:08,000 –> 00:43:08,600
all the wealth.
1385
00:43:08,600 –> 00:43:09,760
He’s got a hat on,
1386
00:43:09,760 –> 00:43:09,880
so.
1387
00:43:11,200 –> 00:43:12,600
Get better hat at least.
1388
00:43:12,600 –> 00:43:15,200
Let’s make a call.
1389
00:43:22,160 –> 00:43:22,480
Farndale.
1390
00:43:23,440 –> 00:43:24,320
Yeah, I used to do it.
1391
00:43:24,320 –> 00:43:26,320
Is this a Foondale radiators?
1392
00:43:27,120 –> 00:43:27,360
Right.
1393
00:43:28,000 –> 00:43:28,240
Oh, yeah.
1394
00:43:28,240 –> 00:43:30,800
Listen, I’m calling from Brooklyn here.
1395
00:43:30,800 –> 00:43:34,240
I got a leaking radiator and I need to get it out and
1396
00:43:34,720 –> 00:43:35,520
get it to you.
1397
00:43:35,840 –> 00:43:36,880
Can you come take it out?
1398
00:43:38,920 –> 00:43:39,520
Yeah, Brooklyn,
1399
00:43:39,640 –> 00:43:39,760
sure.
1400
00:43:39,760 –> 00:43:40,560
I’ll be right over.
1401
00:43:40,640 –> 00:43:41,280
Yeah, okay.
1402
00:43:41,280 –> 00:43:43,120
So it’s attached to the boiler.
1403
00:43:43,280 –> 00:43:44,800
So, you know,
1404
00:43:44,800 –> 00:43:45,960
you’re going to need some tools.
1405
00:43:46,600 –> 00:43:48,080
Yeah, I’ll bring the boiler here too,
1406
00:43:48,080 –> 00:43:48,440
with it.
1407
00:43:48,440 –> 00:43:49,360
I got a big truck.
1408
00:43:49,920 –> 00:43:50,840
You got a big dick?
1409
00:43:50,840 –> 00:43:51,440
What’d you say?
1410
00:43:51,440 –> 00:43:53,040
Yeah, I’ve got a big truck.
1411
00:43:53,040 –> 00:43:54,640
What up?
1412
00:43:58,080 –> 00:43:58,640
Run out there,
1413
00:43:58,640 –> 00:43:58,800
John.
1414
00:44:00,880 –> 00:44:01,800
You blew the bit,
1415
00:44:01,800 –> 00:44:02,040
man.
1416
00:44:02,080 –> 00:44:03,440
Okay, listen,
1417
00:44:03,440 –> 00:44:04,480
I’ll bring the apple tins,
1418
00:44:04,720 –> 00:44:04,960
you know,
1419
00:44:04,960 –> 00:44:05,880
later in the afternoon,
1420
00:44:05,880 –> 00:44:06,240
okay?
1421
00:44:06,960 –> 00:44:07,640
Sounds good.
1422
00:44:07,640 –> 00:44:08,000
Okay, man.
1423
00:44:08,000 –> 00:44:08,560
Talk to you later.
1424
00:44:09,520 –> 00:44:09,760
Okay, bye.
1425
00:44:13,040 –> 00:44:14,880
Usually the fucker goes nuts.
1426
00:44:15,440 –> 00:44:18,560
We don’t take radiators out of the car.
1427
00:44:19,480 –> 00:44:22,480
And it’s a good group of guys,
1428
00:44:22,480 –> 00:44:22,760
right?
1429
00:44:22,760 –> 00:44:23,920
But like…
1430
00:44:24,720 –> 00:44:25,440
Every guy to walk,
1431
00:44:25,440 –> 00:44:27,280
it’s the only radiator repair shop left,
1432
00:44:27,520 –> 00:44:29,040
like anywhere in the world.
1433
00:44:29,440 –> 00:44:31,000
Like car radiator.
1434
00:44:31,120 –> 00:44:32,000
Yeah, car radiators.
1435
00:44:32,360 –> 00:44:36,000
And every person that walks in has got to give you
1436
00:44:36,000 –> 00:44:37,760
the layout of their GTO,
1437
00:44:37,760 –> 00:44:38,640
you know what I mean?
1438
00:44:40,080 –> 00:44:41,360
And I’m just,
1439
00:44:41,600 –> 00:44:42,320
it’s maddening,
1440
00:44:42,320 –> 00:44:42,640
man.
1441
00:44:42,640 –> 00:44:44,240
And then when the guy leaves,
1442
00:44:44,240 –> 00:44:45,120
one time I said to Mel,
1443
00:44:45,120 –> 00:44:48,000
I said, how much of that car shit
1444
00:44:48,720 –> 00:44:50,160
Do you actually understand?
1445
00:44:50,160 –> 00:44:51,840
He says, he goes about 3%.
1446
00:44:53,360 –> 00:44:54,720
Half his day is just nodding,
1447
00:44:54,800 –> 00:44:54,960
right?
1448
00:44:55,000 –> 00:44:56,080
And then yelling at people,
1449
00:44:56,080 –> 00:44:57,000
I don’t take the,
1450
00:44:57,360 –> 00:44:58,840
you have to take it out.
1451
00:44:59,920 –> 00:45:01,480
All he knows about cars is radiators.
1452
00:45:01,840 –> 00:45:04,640
Okay, I want to call Riley if we can.
1453
00:45:05,680 –> 00:45:07,280
But before we get to that,
1454
00:45:07,280 –> 00:45:08,440
why don’t you dial him up?
1455
00:45:08,600 –> 00:45:09,360
Or should I dial him up?
1456
00:45:09,360 –> 00:45:10,240
You can dial him up there,
1457
00:45:10,240 –> 00:45:10,400
yeah.
1458
00:45:10,400 –> 00:45:12,000
I just want to get to one more thing,
1459
00:45:12,000 –> 00:45:12,560
which is
1460
00:45:14,800 –> 00:45:17,960
The Chinese researcher in Ann Arbor at the University
1461
00:45:17,960 –> 00:45:20,640
of Michigan who was smuggling in pathogenic…
1462
00:45:22,800 –> 00:45:23,120
Fungi?
1463
00:45:23,120 –> 00:45:23,840
Fungi, yeah.
1464
00:45:23,840 –> 00:45:25,960
It was stuff that could wipe out our crops and stuff,
1465
00:45:26,480 –> 00:45:28,800
pled guilty and has been deported.
1466
00:45:29,360 –> 00:45:31,280
Now, I don’t know why she wasn’t put in prison,
1467
00:45:31,280 –> 00:45:34,000
probably international diplomacy,
1468
00:45:34,480 –> 00:45:36,960
like the Chinese are going to pick up one of our students
1469
00:45:36,960 –> 00:45:38,160
over there and throw them in prison,
1470
00:45:38,560 –> 00:45:38,840
right?
1471
00:45:39,360 –> 00:45:40,720
Like they did with Lamelo Ball,
1472
00:45:40,720 –> 00:45:41,680
the basketball player.
1473
00:45:42,400 –> 00:45:42,720
Did they?
1474
00:45:42,960 –> 00:45:44,160
when he was at USC,
1475
00:45:44,160 –> 00:45:46,040
he stole something in China and they arrested him
1476
00:45:46,040 –> 00:45:46,880
and Trump got him out.
1477
00:45:47,840 –> 00:45:48,800
And now he’s an All-Star.
1478
00:45:49,400 –> 00:45:53,040
No, not the only NBA fan.
1479
00:45:53,920 –> 00:45:57,600
No, but I’m just not a big mellow ball.
1480
00:45:57,680 –> 00:46:00,000
The whole ball fan is kind of a bunch of women.
1481
00:46:00,000 –> 00:46:01,840
Wow, because here’s a story.
1482
00:46:02,400 –> 00:46:03,520
Last time I was in China,
1483
00:46:04,640 –> 00:46:05,120
I’m leaving,
1484
00:46:05,120 –> 00:46:06,080
I’m going back to LA.
1485
00:46:06,400 –> 00:46:06,960
And
1486
00:46:08,560 –> 00:46:10,640
The guy I was profiling for Vanity Fair,
1487
00:46:10,960 –> 00:46:11,600
Robert Frank,
1488
00:46:11,600 –> 00:46:12,320
the photographer,
1489
00:46:13,040 –> 00:46:18,000
we were drinking some rice whiskey and his wife gave
1490
00:46:18,000 –> 00:46:20,080
me an Ambient for the plane.
1491
00:46:20,080 –> 00:46:21,360
I have never taken them.
1492
00:46:21,920 –> 00:46:22,560
Those are great,
1493
00:46:22,560 –> 00:46:23,080
by the way.
1494
00:46:23,080 –> 00:46:23,960
I use them.
1495
00:46:24,240 –> 00:46:28,000
Yeah, so that with the rice whiskey,
1496
00:46:28,480 –> 00:46:29,200
like I took it,
1497
00:46:29,680 –> 00:46:30,840
we took off from Beijing,
1498
00:46:30,840 –> 00:46:31,600
I went like this,
1499
00:46:32,200 –> 00:46:33,160
and we’re landing in LA.
1500
00:46:33,160 –> 00:46:34,920
It’s like 13 hours,
1501
00:46:34,920 –> 00:46:35,280
dude, like,
1502
00:46:35,920 –> 00:46:36,480
whoa.
1503
00:46:37,240 –> 00:46:37,840
And I’m
1504
00:46:38,640 –> 00:46:39,720
Clearing customs,
1505
00:46:39,720 –> 00:46:40,960
and they opened a bag,
1506
00:46:41,440 –> 00:46:43,440
and there’s a box of fucking cigars,
1507
00:46:43,760 –> 00:46:44,720
Cuban cigars.
1508
00:46:46,240 –> 00:46:46,880
No idea.
1509
00:46:48,240 –> 00:46:48,880
No idea.
1510
00:46:49,200 –> 00:46:51,280
I mean, I don’t know if I had a receipt or not.
1511
00:46:51,280 –> 00:46:52,680
I’m going to be like bunkin’
1512
00:46:52,680 –> 00:46:53,440
with Lamelo on it.
1513
00:46:54,080 –> 00:46:54,360
I was like,
1514
00:46:54,360 –> 00:46:55,040
oh, fuck.
1515
00:46:56,720 –> 00:46:57,360
Good cigars.
1516
00:46:57,680 –> 00:46:58,240
That’s a lot.
1517
00:46:58,240 –> 00:46:59,280
You got them through?
1518
00:46:59,960 –> 00:47:00,080
Yeah.
1519
00:47:00,400 –> 00:47:00,800
What?
1520
00:47:00,880 –> 00:47:01,080
Yeah.
1521
00:47:02,440 –> 00:47:03,200
I didn’t even look at him.
1522
00:47:03,280 –> 00:47:05,400
That’s a lot less worse than bringing a pathogen in
1523
00:47:05,400 –> 00:47:05,600
though.
1524
00:47:05,600 –> 00:47:07,960
So I would have still locked her up.
1525
00:47:07,960 –> 00:47:11,120
I popped for bringing Cuban rum in and every time I
1526
00:47:11,120 –> 00:47:13,360
traveled internationally afterwards got detained for
1527
00:47:13,360 –> 00:47:16,240
a couple hours and interviewed special over it.
1528
00:47:16,240 –> 00:47:16,720
No shit.
1529
00:47:16,720 –> 00:47:17,200
Yeah, dude,
1530
00:47:17,200 –> 00:47:18,000
they don’t fuck around.
1531
00:47:18,240 –> 00:47:19,600
Well, I was coming out of Iraq,
1532
00:47:19,600 –> 00:47:20,560
like into Kuwait.
1533
00:47:21,360 –> 00:47:24,080
And we, I had the Saddam dinars,
1534
00:47:24,080 –> 00:47:24,720
I had
1535
00:47:26,760 –> 00:47:30,720
Iraqi gin and like a poster of Saddam Hussein.
1536
00:47:30,800 –> 00:47:31,600
And of course,
1537
00:47:31,600 –> 00:47:32,640
Kuwait is completely dry.
1538
00:47:32,720 –> 00:47:34,760
They didn’t give a fuck about the money,
1539
00:47:34,760 –> 00:47:36,240
they didn’t give a fuck about the booze,
1540
00:47:36,400 –> 00:47:37,960
but they ripped up the Saddam,
1541
00:47:38,960 –> 00:47:40,800
like you ain’t taking that shit anywhere.
1542
00:47:41,680 –> 00:47:42,080
Yeah.
1543
00:47:44,640 –> 00:47:48,320
My point here at U of M is once again,
1544
00:47:49,360 –> 00:47:52,320
Fifty percent of the student body is not from this
1545
00:47:52,320 –> 00:47:53,760
great state of Michigan.
1546
00:47:53,920 –> 00:47:56,320
That’s our university.
1547
00:47:56,560 –> 00:47:57,680
And what’s it?
1548
00:47:57,840 –> 00:47:58,720
Mark Bernstein?
1549
00:47:59,200 –> 00:48:00,360
Yeah, he’s elected.
1550
00:48:00,400 –> 00:48:04,320
No, foreign and from out of state.
1551
00:48:04,880 –> 00:48:07,040
Like something like 15,
1552
00:48:07,040 –> 00:48:08,400
17, 20 percent are foreign.
1553
00:48:09,200 –> 00:48:11,120
And the reason they do that is because they pay more
1554
00:48:11,120 –> 00:48:11,600
money.
1555
00:48:11,920 –> 00:48:14,000
But even Cal Berkeley,
1556
00:48:14,480 –> 00:48:15,680
is at 85%.
1557
00:48:15,760 –> 00:48:18,080
UCLA, very prestigious,
1558
00:48:18,240 –> 00:48:19,160
is 85%.
1559
00:48:20,240 –> 00:48:23,720
University of Texas is 90 something percent.
1560
00:48:23,920 –> 00:48:24,840
Michigan State,
1561
00:48:24,840 –> 00:48:25,920
another fine university,
1562
00:48:26,080 –> 00:48:27,000
is 80%.
1563
00:48:27,400 –> 00:48:28,320
What the fuck?
1564
00:48:28,480 –> 00:48:29,360
Get your shit together,
1565
00:48:29,360 –> 00:48:30,880
Mark, or that’s on my,
1566
00:48:31,080 –> 00:48:31,680
I’m writing it down,
1567
00:48:31,840 –> 00:48:33,120
it’s on my fucking list.
1568
00:48:33,280 –> 00:48:34,600
We need a law passed.
1569
00:48:34,880 –> 00:48:37,280
I think they did that in California.
1570
00:48:38,160 –> 00:48:40,560
I think they did recently.
1571
00:48:42,160 –> 00:48:43,920
So if you want to come from China,
1572
00:48:43,920 –> 00:48:46,480
you’re more than welcome to go to Schoolcraft Community
1573
00:48:46,480 –> 00:48:48,000
College, right?
1574
00:48:48,160 –> 00:48:49,560
But those slots in Michigan are for us.
1575
00:48:49,560 –> 00:48:52,520
We are displacing American students from our premier
1576
00:48:52,520 –> 00:48:53,280
institutions.
1577
00:48:53,920 –> 00:48:56,360
And we are educating the people that we’re competing
1578
00:48:56,360 –> 00:48:57,600
with in a global economy.
1579
00:48:57,600 –> 00:48:59,080
This has never made sense to me.
1580
00:48:59,080 –> 00:48:59,760
And I don’t remember,
1581
00:48:59,760 –> 00:49:00,960
I’m sure I’ve told you this,
1582
00:49:00,960 –> 00:49:02,720
but several years ago I was at
1583
00:49:03,600 –> 00:49:04,400
In East Lansing,
1584
00:49:04,560 –> 00:49:06,280
this was back when I lived in California and I was
1585
00:49:06,280 –> 00:49:06,680
visiting,
1586
00:49:06,680 –> 00:49:08,640
and a friend of mine who’s a former state legislator
1587
00:49:08,640 –> 00:49:12,320
was telling me that DTW is having a big problem with
1588
00:49:12,320 –> 00:49:14,800
these children of Chinese oligarchs who drive these
1589
00:49:14,800 –> 00:49:15,920
luxury cars.
1590
00:49:16,320 –> 00:49:18,320
After they graduate from Michigan State,
1591
00:49:18,320 –> 00:49:19,920
they drive to DTW,
1592
00:49:20,080 –> 00:49:21,760
get on a plane back to China,
1593
00:49:22,000 –> 00:49:27,280
and abandon their Mercedes and BMWs and Range Rovers.
1594
00:49:27,680 –> 00:49:30,840
And so there’s this glut of abandoned luxury cars at
1595
00:49:30,840 –> 00:49:32,800
DTW that they don’t know what to do with.
1596
00:49:32,800 –> 00:49:35,000
And we were sitting at the corner of Hagedorn,
1597
00:49:35,000 –> 00:49:35,840
and I forget what,
1598
00:49:36,240 –> 00:49:41,120
and a Porsche 911 and a BMW 7 Series drive through
1599
00:49:41,120 –> 00:49:41,880
the intersection,
1600
00:49:41,880 –> 00:49:43,760
and there’s Chinese kids driving both of them.
1601
00:49:44,880 –> 00:49:45,640
Yeah, I checked.
1602
00:49:45,640 –> 00:49:46,360
You told me about that.
1603
00:49:46,360 –> 00:49:47,800
I checked with my source at the airport.
1604
00:49:48,560 –> 00:49:50,480
They’re not a glut there because what they’ve been
1605
00:49:50,480 –> 00:49:54,240
doing this for a while now is they have tow contracts.
1606
00:49:54,480 –> 00:49:56,360
This was back in 2018 when this happened.
1607
00:49:56,360 –> 00:49:58,000
Yeah, so now they tow them out and then if they’re
1608
00:49:58,000 –> 00:49:58,480
not claimed,
1609
00:49:58,480 –> 00:49:59,440
they auction them off.
1610
00:49:59,840 –> 00:50:00,960
Where do we go to get these things?
1611
00:50:01,360 –> 00:50:01,680
Exactly.
1612
00:50:02,320 –> 00:50:03,520
I can’t do all your work.
1613
00:50:06,640 –> 00:50:07,800
So get that fixed,
1614
00:50:07,800 –> 00:50:08,520
Bernstein.
1615
00:50:08,520 –> 00:50:10,000
It’s terrible.
1616
00:50:10,280 –> 00:50:10,960
It is.
1617
00:50:11,280 –> 00:50:13,160
It’s just a money-making machine.
1618
00:50:13,160 –> 00:50:14,000
I mean, they have the…
1619
00:50:15,360 –> 00:50:18,720
a top six endowment of public or private.
1620
00:50:18,720 –> 00:50:22,800
And it’s by far the largest public university endowment.
1621
00:50:22,800 –> 00:50:23,440
Basically,
1622
00:50:23,600 –> 00:50:24,560
they’re a hedge fund.
1623
00:50:25,200 –> 00:50:25,840
So come on.
1624
00:50:26,320 –> 00:50:27,600
Have you been to Ann Arbor lately?
1625
00:50:28,360 –> 00:50:30,000
I did a campus tour over the summer.
1626
00:50:30,000 –> 00:50:33,600
That the university has like its own sanitation department.
1627
00:50:33,920 –> 00:50:34,880
Its own everything.
1628
00:50:35,120 –> 00:50:35,920
Its own city.
1629
00:50:35,920 –> 00:50:36,160
Yeah.
1630
00:50:37,680 –> 00:50:38,800
Come on, man.
1631
00:50:38,800 –> 00:50:40,560
They also have tampons in the men’s room.
1632
00:50:41,120 –> 00:50:41,920
Do they really?
1633
00:50:42,680 –> 00:50:44,800
Which is great for adolescent boys that are touring
1634
00:50:44,800 –> 00:50:47,000
in your school is when they check into the bathroom
1635
00:50:47,000 –> 00:50:47,880
and see the tampons.
1636
00:50:47,880 –> 00:50:50,880
You know what I mean?
1637
00:50:52,160 –> 00:50:56,560
That’s going to be my son’s only enduring memory.
1638
00:50:56,560 –> 00:50:58,720
The rest of his life from his visit to U of M,
1639
00:50:58,720 –> 00:50:59,440
his tampons.
1640
00:51:00,000 –> 00:51:03,280
Yeah, we took a picture of Dave.
1641
00:51:03,920 –> 00:51:06,160
Brother of mine on the football team and he’s taking
1642
00:51:06,160 –> 00:51:06,680
a dump.
1643
00:51:07,200 –> 00:51:09,080
Boy, we took a picture and made posters and put them
1644
00:51:09,080 –> 00:51:09,920
in the girl’s bathroom.
1645
00:51:10,680 –> 00:51:12,840
He got, he got so mad.
1646
00:51:12,840 –> 00:51:15,040
I wonder what we could do with tampons.
1647
00:51:19,120 –> 00:51:19,640
I don’t know,
1648
00:51:19,680 –> 00:51:20,200
it’s fucking,
1649
00:51:20,200 –> 00:51:20,680
I don’t know.
1650
00:51:20,680 –> 00:51:22,880
Okay, there’s a…
1651
00:51:24,240 –> 00:51:25,040
Should I call him now?
1652
00:51:25,120 –> 00:51:25,360
Yeah.

1694
00:52:38,160 –> 00:52:38,480
Oh, yeah.
1695
00:52:38,800 –> 00:52:41,840

And all proceeds raised,
1700
00:52:49,680 –> 00:52:53,040
all except for a handful of expenses.
1701
00:52:53,680 –> 00:52:54,800
We’ve got no salaries,
1702
00:52:54,800 –> 00:52:56,080
go to four charities.
1703
00:52:56,960 –> 00:52:57,760
Team Joseph,
1704
00:52:57,760 –> 00:52:59,480
which is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy,
1705
00:52:59,480 –> 00:53:02,320
which Killer and I started working on together about
1706
00:53:02,320 –> 00:53:03,600
17 years ago.
1707
00:53:04,480 –> 00:53:06,240
We have a few in Kids Futures,
1708
00:53:06,240 –> 00:53:07,920

1709
00:53:08,120 –> 00:53:10,400
where they pack meals for the kids to go home,
1710
00:53:10,400 –> 00:53:11,440
those who go without.
1711
00:53:12,240 –> 00:53:14,640
Detroit, the downtown boxing gym,
1712
00:53:14,840 –> 00:53:15,480
which Charlie,
1713
00:53:15,480 –> 00:53:16,240
I’m sure you know,
1714
00:53:16,240 –> 00:53:17,680
Kali and the gang over there,
1715
00:53:17,680 –> 00:53:19,520
the Books Before Boxing program,
1716
00:53:20,120 –> 00:53:20,800
where they take,
1717
00:53:20,800 –> 00:53:21,000
you know,
1718
00:53:21,040 –> 00:53:23,400
they take kids and they get them the education they
1719
00:53:23,400 –> 00:53:24,000
deserve.
1720
00:53:24,480 –> 00:53:25,960
And Defeat the Label,
1721
00:53:25,960 –> 00:53:28,080
which is an anti-bullying group for,
1722
00:53:28,720 –> 00:53:29,040

1725
00:53:30,920 –> 00:53:32,080
and all that.
1726
00:53:32,080 –> 00:53:32,760
Beautiful thing,
1727
00:53:32,760 –> 00:53:33,280

00:53:34,080 –> 00:53:37,840

bar what ten o’clock
1732
00:53:55,520 –> 00:53:56,200
a stellar shift.
1733
00:53:56,880 –> 00:53:58,800
I always call your shift the heavyweights.
1734
00:53:59,440 –> 00:54:01,160
And when I say the heavyweights,
1735
00:54:01,160 –> 00:54:02,240
it’s not size.
1736
00:54:02,560 –> 00:54:03,760
It’s they’re strong.
1737
00:54:03,920 –> 00:54:05,200
They’re strong in celebrity.
1738
00:54:05,440 –> 00:54:07,200
They’re strong in bartending skills,
1739
00:54:07,200 –> 00:54:08,560
all except for Wojo.
1740
00:54:09,040 –> 00:54:13,440
And Wojo’s the heavyweight when it comes to one for
1741
00:54:13,520 –> 00:54:14,560
you and one for me.
1742
00:54:14,800 –> 00:54:16,000
But we got Stoney,
1743
00:54:16,240 –> 00:54:17,680
Wojo, yourself,
1744
00:54:18,240 –> 00:54:19,200
Will Burchfield,
1745
00:54:19,200 –> 00:54:21,040
and Craig Monroe are on that shift.
1746
00:54:21,120 –> 00:54:22,880
I was hoping TJ Lang would be on it.
1747
00:54:23,280 –> 00:54:24,800
You guys are fucking hoot.
1748
00:54:26,240 –> 00:54:26,760
Yeah, but this.
1749
00:54:26,800 –> 00:54:30,800
So TJ, TJ is on in 7 to 8.
1750
00:54:31,200 –> 00:54:34,280
I will guarantee you almost everything we’ve raised
1751
00:54:34,480 –> 00:54:36,800
that TJ will still be back there when you get behind
1752
00:54:36,800 –> 00:54:37,200
the bar.
1753
00:54:39,840 –> 00:54:40,120
Yeah, but.
1754
00:54:40,120 –> 00:54:43,240
And he’s like a mountain to move around,
1755
00:54:43,520 –> 00:54:44,000
but he’s,
1756
00:54:44,000 –> 00:54:44,960
TJ’s awesome.
1757
00:54:44,960 –> 00:54:46,480
Yeah, the whole thing is,
1758
00:54:46,480 –> 00:54:47,520

1759
00:54:47,520 –> 00:54:47,680

1763
00:54:51,360 –> 00:54:52,000
I can’t wait.
1764
00:54:52,400 –> 00:54:53,280
It’s going to be a good one,
1765
00:54:53,280 –> 00:54:53,600
man.
1766
00:54:53,840 –> 00:54:55,200
We’re well on our way.
1767
00:54:55,200 –> 00:54:56,040
We’re trying to raise $150,000.
1768
00:54:56,120 –> 00:55:01,600
We’re about two-thirds of the way there.
1769
00:55:01,840 –> 00:55:02,880
We still got the night.
1770
00:55:03,920 –> 00:55:05,920
And anybody who wants to make a donation,
1771
00:55:06,320 –> 00:55:06,960

man.
1779
00:55:14,800 –> 00:55:15,200
Can’t wait.
1780
00:55:15,360 –> 00:55:15,640

00:55:16,240 –> 00:55:16,480
Bye.
1783
00:55:16,480 –> 00:55:18,560
It’s a fun night.
1784
00:55:19,920 –> 00:55:20,760
It’s a wild night.
1785
00:55:20,800 –> 00:55:22,720
Yeah, definitely.
1786
00:55:22,720 –> 00:55:23,760
Get yourself an Uber.

00:55:23,920 –> 00:55:24,080
Yeah.
1788
00:55:24,400 –> 00:55:24,720
Oh, yeah.
1789
00:55:25,560 –> 00:55:28,240
Cause there’s not a lot of taxi cabs.
1790
00:55:28,240 –> 00:55:29,360
There’s no taxi cabs,
1791
00:55:29,760 –> 00:55:30,040
period.
1792
00:55:30,040 –> 00:55:32,000
You know what I’m going to invite?
1793
00:55:32,080 –> 00:55:32,480
Who?
1794
00:55:33,280 –> 00:55:33,680
Mr.
1795
00:55:33,680 –> 00:55:34,400
Positive.
1796
00:55:34,400 –> 00:55:34,880
Yeah.
1797
00:55:35,040 –> 00:55:36,160
For the uplift.
1798
00:55:36,160 –> 00:55:36,640
You know Mr.
1799
00:55:36,640 –> 00:55:37,080
Positive?
1800
00:55:37,080 –> 00:55:37,840
I don’t know.
1801
00:55:37,840 –> 00:55:38,280
Oh, he’s.
1802
00:55:38,280 –> 00:55:39,480
I think I’m going to come out there though.
1803
00:55:39,680 –> 00:55:39,840
Yeah.
1804
00:55:40,000 –> 00:55:40,680
Oh, it’s great,
1805
00:55:40,680 –> 00:55:40,960
dude.
1806
00:55:41,600 –> 00:55:42,320
He, Mr.
1807
00:55:42,320 –> 00:55:44,000
Positive, it’s made his bones.
1808
00:55:44,560 –> 00:55:47,040
I know who he is.
1809
00:55:47,040 –> 00:55:48,760
He’s now nationwide.
1810
00:55:48,760 –> 00:55:49,920
He’s put him there.
1811
00:55:49,920 –> 00:55:50,640
Chris Cuomo,
1812
00:55:50,640 –> 00:55:51,160
Stephen Hayes.
1813
00:55:51,680 –> 00:55:52,320
I put him there.
1814
00:55:52,880 –> 00:55:53,440
I created them.
1815
00:55:53,840 –> 00:55:55,880
This has been 20 years of hard work on his part.
1816
00:55:56,160 –> 00:55:59,600
Do not diminish the do not be negative on the positive.
1817
00:56:00,320 –> 00:56:00,760
Exactly.
1818
00:56:02,120 –> 00:56:02,640
There he is,
1819
00:56:02,800 –> 00:56:03,200
Mr.
1820
00:56:03,200 –> 00:56:05,120
Positive of Detroit Radio.
1821
00:56:05,280 –> 00:56:06,320
And yet with no show.
1822
00:56:07,440 –> 00:56:08,880
All the shows are his show.
1823
00:56:09,040 –> 00:56:09,520
All the shows.
1824
00:56:09,560 –> 00:56:10,880
There you go.
1825
00:56:11,880 –> 00:56:13,440
It’s a very quick message.
1826
00:56:13,440 –> 00:56:18,280
Let’s take you out with 10 seconds of positivity and
1827
00:56:18,280 –> 00:56:19,520
we’ll see you next Tuesday.
1828
00:56:19,520 –> 00:56:20,440
Oh, that one’s coming.
1829
00:56:20,640 –> 00:56:23,360
I got so much I want to tell you I can’t,
1830
00:56:23,520 –> 00:56:25,680
but the holy shit storm’s coming,
1831
00:56:25,680 –> 00:56:26,560
I promise you.
1832
00:56:26,960 –> 00:56:27,360
Yeah, it is.
1833
00:56:27,480 –> 00:56:28,560
Okay, but let’s be positive.
1834
00:56:28,840 –> 00:56:30,400
This is the electrifying Mr.
1835
00:56:30,400 –> 00:56:32,160
Positive Warriors.
1836
00:56:32,520 –> 00:56:35,120
Dreaming is believing that what you’re dreaming is
1837
00:56:35,200 –> 00:56:35,840
possible.
1838
00:56:36,200 –> 00:56:36,640
Hit me.
1839
00:56:40,160 –> 00:56:40,880
He’s a good guy.
1840
00:56:42,720 –> 00:56:43,760
I think he lives with his mom,
1841
00:56:43,760 –> 00:56:44,320
that looks like.
1842
00:56:44,960 –> 00:56:46,240
That’s an awfully nice tree.
1843
00:56:46,240 –> 00:56:47,760
This is the electrifying Mr.
1844
00:56:48,440 –> 00:56:48,720
Positive.
1845
00:56:48,720 –> 00:56:49,520
That is a nice tree,
1846
00:56:49,520 –> 00:56:49,680
yeah.
1847
00:56:49,760 –> 00:56:50,400
Roll it again.
1848
00:56:50,640 –> 00:56:51,080
All right,
1849
00:56:51,080 –> 00:56:51,840
hang on.
1850
00:56:52,240 –> 00:56:53,840
This is the electrifying Mr.
1851
00:56:53,840 –> 00:56:54,560
Positive.
1852
00:56:54,920 –> 00:56:58,400
Warriors, dreaming is believing that what you’re dreaming
1853
00:56:58,400 –> 00:56:59,360
is possible.
1854
00:56:59,640 –> 00:57:00,080
Hit me.
1855
00:57:02,640 –> 00:57:04,960
I loved him cribbing the electrifying mojo.
1856
00:57:04,960 –> 00:57:06,000
Yeah, there you go.
1857
00:57:06,120 –> 00:57:07,360
Yep, that was the point.
1858
00:57:07,360 –> 00:57:07,480
Yeah.
1859
00:57:08,440 –> 00:57:11,440
from WHYT back in the day.
1860
00:57:13,040 –> 00:57:14,400
I still got some cassette tapes.
1861
00:57:14,400 –> 00:57:16,560
I used to drive to Brighton and tape them in the parking
1862
00:57:16,560 –> 00:57:16,800
lot.
1863
00:57:18,160 –> 00:57:18,800
I do, dude.
1864
00:57:18,880 –> 00:57:21,000
I got some great him and the wizard.
