1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,519
It's just like the old radio show
with the addiibility to swear a lot from

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:11,080
the mac of All Trade studio in
Fairport and driven by Victor Chrysler Dots Jeep

3
00:00:11,199 --> 00:00:27,320
Ram. It's bilified the Bill Moran
Podcast. Well, hello and welcome.

4
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:30,679
Thanks for getting your pot on.
Thanks for telling a friend. That's how

5
00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:34,880
we spread the word around the pirate
ship. People tell him friends. Man

6
00:00:35,679 --> 00:00:39,479
getting along to that on the downloads. How you feeling today, Kevin?

7
00:00:40,119 --> 00:00:44,079
Depressed? Beard's gone, but I'm
depressed. I told you last night that

8
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,280
I think Game sevens. I don't
know why. That isn't hockey more than

9
00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:51,640
any other sport. It's just a
perfect game. I don't it's it's it's

10
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:57,240
just it's strange. And the Rangers
got shut out for nothing by the Devil's

11
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:03,200
I think a Devil's fan got knocked
out in the stands. Was there is

12
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,319
there something called like the Woo Gang
or something for the devils where they they

13
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:11,239
whooa or they do something and somebody
bunched a guy like it's terrible. I

14
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:15,640
shouldn't laugh at that. It's it's
awful. It's been awful night. First,

15
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:21,120
that's not nice. What did you
wait what did your kids say.

16
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:32,079
I'm just jose Po is here.
Jose Po is a council and for the

17
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:38,400
City of Rochester, and he handles
the Northwest district, which is Charlotte right

18
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,840
Charlotte to uh four ninety Okay,
from Lake Avenue to Maori Okay. So

19
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:49,519
uh And I would think the Maplewood
neighborhood there's a history there wasn't there back

20
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,959
Not that you would know this necessarily
you never saw this. I didn't either,

21
00:01:53,239 --> 00:01:57,560
but I believe in the late eighteen
hundreds there was a horse track up

22
00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:02,120
in the Maplewood area, like a
horse for the Kodak employees. For the

23
00:02:02,239 --> 00:02:07,359
Kodak employees, they had everything.
They had everything. You've seen the houses

24
00:02:07,359 --> 00:02:09,199
over there, Yeah, they're gorgeous. Maype's amazing. Yeah, maybe it

25
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:12,360
was gorgeous. Oh man. There
was only two areas in the city I

26
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,360
was looking to move into. It
was either Shalot or Mapewood. That was

27
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,400
it, really Yeah, first houses
I was looking at over on Lakeview Park.

28
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,520
You can actually see downtown and see
the lake from up on the and

29
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,080
the attic there. Wow. Now, I remember I was looking for a

30
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:30,560
house and at the time my wife
was very pregnant and we were living in

31
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,560
some small apartment and we went out
and looked at a house right on the

32
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,360
lake. And I gotta tell you, the second floor, I mean it

33
00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:42,560
was practically a roller coaster, the
hallway, but they had just redone the

34
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,400
kitchen. It was gorgeous, and
I knew it was going to meet a

35
00:02:45,439 --> 00:02:47,240
lot of work, so I waived
the inspection. I did everything, and

36
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:54,599
we still somebody had basically they countered
the offered the original buyer and the other

37
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,639
couple wasn't coming back. They figured
they were gonna walk away. So I

38
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,120
was like, Oh, we're gonna
get this. And then that didn't know

39
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,479
this was right on the lake and
not far from Charlotte of Edgemere. You

40
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,639
almost were a West Sider. Yeah, whoa before the flooding the East Yeah,

41
00:03:12,039 --> 00:03:15,039
before the flooding afore you probably well
before the flooding. Then you probably

42
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,599
lucked out. Yeah I had,
I think I did. I think you're

43
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,759
right. I think you're absolutely right. How has that been? You know

44
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,840
what? Let's start here because I
could ask you all these different questions and

45
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,919
I know will meander through this anything, but what is the jose Po story?

46
00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:32,400
So how do you go from you
know, a guy from I believe

47
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:36,199
you grew up in the area right
then army for a little while, if

48
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,680
I remember, then into you were
an entrepreneur, right you gotta ransom stores

49
00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:45,080
and stuff and now finance and I
mean all this stuff. God had me

50
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:46,879
going through the gauntlet. I was
raised over on the northeast side, so

51
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Strathmore Circle Avenue ce Conky. Um, we were born raised over in that

52
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,319
area. Um. Then we moved
to a round to quit when my when

53
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,719
I was getting to the age of
where we're going to school, Yeah,

54
00:03:58,759 --> 00:04:00,599
and my parents are like, where
you're not. You're not going to city

55
00:04:00,639 --> 00:04:03,319
school district. So moved to a
round to Quake. And when I graduated

56
00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:05,360
straight into the military because I had
no idea what I was gonna do,

57
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:08,680
no idea. All I knew was
wrestling. That's all I did in high

58
00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:13,039
school. I wrestled, and you
know, nothing came in for a complete

59
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,840
scholarship. And I didn't know anything
about school loans, think donness at that

60
00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:17,079
time. So I joined the military, and I said, the only thing

61
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,040
I wanted to do was spy stuff. I wanted to do in military intel.

62
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,199
So I went to the military intel. I was stationed Korea South America,

63
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,759
had a great time, had an
amazing time with some people that I'll

64
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,839
never forget and never lose touch with. Ye And when I got out,

65
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,920
I said, I'm moving right back
to Rochester. But can I ask a

66
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,879
few questions about your time in the
army depends, I'll let you know if

67
00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:42,560
you can't. Okay, you said
spy stuff you were interested in? Did

68
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,600
you do a lot of intel?
Oh? Yeah, Now, my brother

69
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:48,439
in law, I'm no longer married, but my brother in law was in

70
00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:55,600
charge of the Pacific Rim Okay for
many years, overseeing in South Korea,

71
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,959
overseeing North Korea or whatever was being
showing up. The guy he was a

72
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,560
West Point guy and then had gone
into the military. So were you part

73
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,800
of all that? So I was
there. Basically, I was with the

74
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,120
team that I was listening into what
North Korea was doing. We were the

75
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,720
team that found the personal submarines that
North Korea was using to come into South

76
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,759
America. I'm sorry South Korea when
it happened, it was right after nine

77
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:18,040
to eleven. I was in nine
to eleven. I'm sorry. I was

78
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,959
in Korea during nine to eleven,
so everything got shut down. So our

79
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,360
North Korea got a little more ambitious
with what they were trying to do.

80
00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:27,680
We're trying to listen into what we
were doing, and they were using little

81
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,279
personal submarines. Look it up.
You can see it on Google now.

82
00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:32,800
It was crazy because they changed up
all their comms, changed up everything.

83
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,319
But I was I was a I
was man. I killed it in the

84
00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:40,759
military. I did really well.
So and you you were you found that

85
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,040
do you speak more than one language? I do, but affluently. Okay,

86
00:05:44,079 --> 00:05:46,800
what languages do you speak? Spanish? Just Spanish? Yeah, we

87
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,439
have we have linguistics that you know, we're listening to the other. Okay,

88
00:05:49,439 --> 00:05:51,319
country, I didn't know if that
was also you. And then you

89
00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:55,360
went to South America's same kind of
deal. South America. That was the

90
00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:58,120
anti drug mission down there where it
was the if you know anything about the

91
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,519
FARC down there, fa ARC,
you can look them up. They're a

92
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:05,560
big time cocaine down in uh in
Colombia. So we were doing a mission

93
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,160
on there because we had a plane, spy plane that went down and they

94
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,959
captured two of our special ops.
I was the guy who told special ops

95
00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:15,639
where to go. Okay, how
was behind the computers? Did you want

96
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:18,000
to be a ranger or anything.
No. Okay, I'm like, I'm

97
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:24,279
pretty bad as it was a quick
answer. No. No, I knew

98
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,399
from the beginning that I wanted to
use my brain because I was I was

99
00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:28,639
really smart. Yeah, I say, was I am really smart? Yes,

100
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,639
not to put myself in a shoulder, but I knew to use my

101
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:34,920
brain to know who America right?
Right? Everyone? Everyone plays their own

102
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,399
position. Yeah. I think I
knew what I wanted to do, and

103
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:41,079
I went and did it. Yeah, that's great. So then you come

104
00:06:41,079 --> 00:06:45,399
back, right, did you retire? No? I came back and I

105
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,439
wanted to open up my own businesses. So I said, let me go

106
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,040
to college, just get a marketing
degree. So I figure out what I

107
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,839
can do, how to do it? Where you go Brockport. Okay,

108
00:06:53,879 --> 00:06:58,040
Brockport before they had really strict guidelines
because back then, I'm not quite sure

109
00:06:58,079 --> 00:07:00,439
I could have made it in because
I had a zero point zero one semester.

110
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:05,800
I was partying. I was partying
hard. That means you didn't go

111
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,720
at all. I didn't. There's
no way. Sometimes hanging out a second,

112
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,240
you could not have gotten a zero
points. I got a zero point

113
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:15,079
zero, almost got kicked that out
of school. He was hanging the disease.

114
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,600
Yeah, but I mean, how
that's impossible. I'm I joined a

115
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:21,879
fraternity and one hundred points for putting
your name on an sat. Don't they

116
00:07:21,959 --> 00:07:25,759
give you something for showing up at
point five? I didn't get that because

117
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,519
I probably had alcohol in my breath
the entire time. Wow, okay,

118
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,199
it was it was a It was
a good time. But certainly I was

119
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:33,959
in the mind frame of see Seese
get decreased. I was like, I'm

120
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,439
going there. I'm gonna ope my
own businesses anyway, so I don't care

121
00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:40,480
about if I'm gonna, you know, get good grades. Um. But

122
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,920
of course, all that stuff is
what you think about when you are in

123
00:07:42,959 --> 00:07:45,800
politics. You think about the stuff, the stupid stuff you did in college.

124
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:47,759
You know, people might but here's
the thing. It's like, okay,

125
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,240
and people might what my you know, my bringing stuff up from when

126
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,199
you were a different person before.
You know, I don't like that,

127
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,079
but it's the way it is.
You remember George Bush. They brought out

128
00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:01,160
his pictures back from where you know, I'm sure the Santis when he was

129
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,680
in college. They brought his pictures
that everyone they always bring pictures up.

130
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:07,560
Well, I have a real problem
and I've talked about it on the podcast

131
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,160
where I feel as though, if
the goal that we all want is for

132
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:15,800
people to evolve, right, to
be better, right, we want you

133
00:08:15,839 --> 00:08:18,839
to learn from your mistakes. That's
not what they want. They say that,

134
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,800
Yeah, I know, but you
understand like this idea of more acceptance,

135
00:08:22,839 --> 00:08:24,639
more tolerance. So then we got
to go back and we got it.

136
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:28,160
I'll tell you what, I am
a bigger fan of the guys who

137
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:33,080
stand up to that stuff. You
know. For example, the first one

138
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,320
that popped into my head Kevin Hart. Kevin Hart wrote a very anti it

139
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,320
was a very homophobic tweet about his
kid or something, right, and we

140
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,759
had a whole joke about it a
number of years prior. I think it

141
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:46,840
was like five years prior, just
before he's about to do the Oscars,

142
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:50,759
and he apologized for it at the
time, and they brought it up again

143
00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:52,799
and he said, I'm not apologizing
for it, and they goes, I'm

144
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:54,600
not doing the Oscars right because I
don't need to. I don't need this,

145
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,799
I don't need this shit. Now, he's never done that stuff again,

146
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:03,279
he doesn't make those jokes, so
he learned from the way we want

147
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,480
people to learn from. And I
always say and people will probably sick of

148
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:09,559
hearing it. People say they have
a drinking game for all the phrases.

149
00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:16,840
But it's almost like, you know, in the Bible, you had Paul

150
00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:20,639
who was a pretty nasty guy or
saw and then he became Paul. Right,

151
00:09:20,639 --> 00:09:24,080
why can't we where where is it? Why are we digging shit up

152
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,120
to rub your face in it?
Like your ship on the rug like a

153
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,679
puppy dut you know what I'm saying. And Paul didn't ask for forgiveness.

154
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,120
Now Rice came to him and forced
him to be a believer. Right,

155
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,480
I'm a big Bible I'm a big
Bible reader. Okay, so I know

156
00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:39,799
all the stories from a Bible.
And the same thing you know with Moses.

157
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,600
Moses killed a guy and still led
the people out of Egypt, So

158
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,519
you can have a pass. And
actually God calls people with actually a checkered

159
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,799
past, that's usually who he calls
to say, Look, I'm gonna use

160
00:09:48,799 --> 00:09:54,120
you. Anyways, got co host
here tonight, Well, I think that

161
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:01,559
atheist No, no, no,
Our other host is yeah big oh,

162
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,000
yes, Yef. I've heard him. I've heard him before. So my

163
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,240
producer is a big atheist. So
really he'll be talking, we'll be talking

164
00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:09,480
on the podcast, and he'll he'll
bring up things like oh no, no,

165
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,919
no, So we have a whole
argument. Yeah, but there are

166
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,720
times where I feel like even the
atheist, you know, push comes to

167
00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:20,159
shove. You're only athist till you
need to know that sort of the way.

168
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,960
Um, okay, So now you
come back, you do Brockport,

169
00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:26,600
you graduate graduate. Okay, So
you pulled your stuff together. I did.

170
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,559
I did, Yeah, pull it
together. Then I started as were

171
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,840
you when you went to college.
When I went to college, I got

172
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,720
out of military. I was twenty
three. Yeah, so a little bit

173
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,279
older yep, and graduated twenty seven. Okay, So but you probably figured

174
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,399
out like, hey man, I
gotta I gotta do this. I got

175
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,960
an opportunity here, I'm going to
do it right. Yeah. So my

176
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,080
cousin came to me, said,
let's open up this h It was when

177
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,720
boost Mobile was first started come out, and we jumped in. We're the

178
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,279
first Boobile boost Mobile store to come
out with her unlimited. Um. He

179
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,159
came to me and said, look, the people want this and they need

180
00:10:56,159 --> 00:10:58,879
it, and and oh yeah.
Yeah, we took over actually a page

181
00:11:00,039 --> 00:11:03,360
store, and then we ended up
buying out a competition. So I've been

182
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,000
in business for I mean since I
was a kid, really, but that's

183
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,759
what I do now. Actually,
my business now is helping other businesses to

184
00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:13,120
grow, either by buying out the
competition or you know, get some loan,

185
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:18,480
said build you get your equipment,
build up. So all that I

186
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,840
learned from back then, everything I've
gone through has always been bringing me to

187
00:11:20,879 --> 00:11:24,279
the future. So I'm very thankful
for all the nonsense I went through through,

188
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,799
all the you know, because I
was I was also a homeless during

189
00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:30,519
that time. Wait wait, yeah, jumped into that one real quickly.

190
00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:33,799
Where were you homeless? I was
actually living at my shop on the store,

191
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,240
on the floor of the store.
Okay, we it was our third

192
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,679
or fourth year in I was in
a really bad relationship and um, you

193
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,639
know, and I finally had decided
to just leave. And I didn't have

194
00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:45,919
a place, and I didn't have
money at the time, and I said,

195
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,399
I don't care, I'll live anywhere. And I went to the store,

196
00:11:48,759 --> 00:11:52,039
unlocked the door, opened up a
box and laid on the cardboard there

197
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,600
applied for food samps and everything.
I got it, food samps, card

198
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,320
and mail because they automatical give you
two hundred fifty dollars when you apply.

199
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,759
And I cut up the card.
I looked in the mirror. I said,

200
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,639
I don't want to be that guy. Yeah, I don't want to

201
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:07,440
be another statistic of another Latino who
can't take care of himself, who is

202
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,799
an able. Where were your parents? My parents were still round, I

203
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:13,320
mean they had divorced at that time. Yeah, but I mean, there's

204
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,279
no there is no way your mom's
gonna did you know you were sleeping on

205
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,840
a card? No, I didn't
tell her. Machismo, right, You're

206
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,240
not gonna tell her, not right, I'm not gonna tell him either.

207
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:24,080
Yeah. Oh, they thought I
was living in glory Land. You know,

208
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,200
you gotta keep up the appearance,
and that's what I did. I

209
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,120
got through it at some point to
make it. At some points she knew

210
00:12:31,159 --> 00:12:33,279
because I had to ask my sister
if I can live on her couch for

211
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:35,080
a little bit. Yeah. So
all right, But that's what families,

212
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,360
I mean, honestly, that's what
family is well, family for or what

213
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,519
family does, right, They're supposed
to. They're supposed to. So okay,

214
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,360
So Now, when do you decide
that you're gonna get into politics,

215
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,200
because I think it probably started smaller
than city council. Yeah, no,

216
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,159
it it was when I moved into
schlat I knew that I wanted to be

217
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,519
part of the city and I did
not like where the city was going.

218
00:12:56,879 --> 00:13:01,879
I did not like Lovely Warren at
all. I didn't agree with her on

219
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:07,159
mostly anything. So politically you are
what what what label do they put by

220
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,360
you? People want to put out
a different lay want me every day?

221
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:15,919
Yeah, I consider myself a blue
dog Democrat. I'm right usually right down

222
00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:18,240
in the middle. But I think
most people, if you ask them that,

223
00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:20,639
they'll say they're a label, but
in reality, when it comes to

224
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:26,799
every different topic, they feel differently
the right. So joined me in the

225
00:13:26,799 --> 00:13:31,399
middle. It's nice and warm.
It is nice. Governor you cannot governor

226
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,120
or governor. You cannot govern from
anywhere but the middle. You just can't.

227
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,120
You need to talk to other people
on city council about that. But

228
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,799
you can't do this. Ship goes
nutty exactly. Have to come to the

229
00:13:39,799 --> 00:13:43,279
middle where you need to have better
dialogue in politics everywhere. Yeah, in

230
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,399
my opinion, open and honest dialogue. You need to allow people to say

231
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:48,360
what they need to say, say
what they want to say, say how

232
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,879
they feel, and not attack them. Figure out why, why, why

233
00:13:52,879 --> 00:13:54,559
did they come to that agreement,
why do they decide that in their life,

234
00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:56,200
and then say, okay, I
can see how you do that.

235
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,200
Let's let's meet somewhere in the middle
here and a lot of that is just

236
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,960
gone. Now it's gone. So, Um, the city is very hard

237
00:14:05,639 --> 00:14:07,440
Democrats. So you have to be
a You have to be a Democrat in

238
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,399
order to win any election in the
city for the most part. Yes.

239
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,840
Um, So if I went into
the downtown, I said I need a

240
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,840
register to vote, because even back
then, I still don't have a I

241
00:14:18,879 --> 00:14:20,840
wasn't registered to vote. I was
in the military before, and I just

242
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,879
stepped it in. But um,
yeah, They're like, well, what

243
00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:24,559
do you want to do. I
was like, well, I want to

244
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,120
I want to be mayor one day. They're like, well, you gotta

245
00:14:26,159 --> 00:14:31,840
be democrat. Okay, so I
democrat still the goal? Oh so yeah,

246
00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:35,240
yeah, I would be mayor.
Yeah I have to be Yeah,

247
00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:39,360
when the city needs me, I
will be mayor. Yeah I am.

248
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,679
I am impressed with the man who's
mayor. Now, Okay, with the

249
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,840
things he's saying. Okay, I
don't know about the action so much.

250
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,279
I don't live there, but I
feel like some of the things are said.

251
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,840
Right. I don't agree with all
of it, but I understand.

252
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,320
I think some of where it comes
to. We'll get to that in a

253
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,320
little bit. I want to go
back to the Jose story. I like

254
00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:03,759
this. So so you join,
you decide, you register, and what's

255
00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:07,960
your first political office or political group. But I got involved with the community

256
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,120
association, and so I tell everyone
who wants to get involved in politics,

257
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,960
start at your street level, start
with your community association. I was vice

258
00:15:16,039 --> 00:15:18,679
president of my communy association. As
soon as I got in there, like,

259
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,080
well, we got a fresh young
voice in Charlotte, which is it's

260
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,320
really highly older, right, And
so I got involved and we were putting

261
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:31,000
together events, put in together fundraisers, we were doing things that they just

262
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,600
weren't doing before, and we were
just kicking ass. But then you get

263
00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:37,639
to hear what the people really want. At that point, you know,

264
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,960
you really get into the granular of
how people think and what they want out

265
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,919
of the city. And at that
point I knew there was no attention in

266
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,039
Charlotte at all. Yeah, no
attention. We have a beautiful beach down

267
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,519
there. It's to me it's the
the Diamond and the rough over there,

268
00:15:50,559 --> 00:15:54,519
because the city is just kind of
like burnt, imploding on itself and we

269
00:15:54,519 --> 00:15:56,960
have a freaking beach with a river
that runs to it, what falls,

270
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:03,039
and we just forget about the waterways. So I'm with you because I used

271
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,120
to when I was on a radio
station WCMF. I've heard of it.

272
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,240
There were, I'm sure you have. There were. There were a lot

273
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,480
of fights that were happening down at
the beach right in the summer, and

274
00:16:12,519 --> 00:16:18,000
that this one summer, and it
was probably around two thousand and twelve,

275
00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:22,840
twenty eleven, and they, I
believe Sea Breeze was saying they weren't going

276
00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:26,240
to open Memorial Day weekend because they
were. There was so much chat on

277
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,879
social media about fights and things.
So we put together an event called Rock

278
00:16:30,919 --> 00:16:34,600
in the Beach and went down there
because it was like it's early June.

279
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,639
We got all four seasons in one
day. Oh yeah, I mean it

280
00:16:37,679 --> 00:16:41,679
was hail and snow, but it
was kind of cool because it is I

281
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:47,840
agree with you, it is a
it's just a gemstone down it's a beautiful

282
00:16:47,879 --> 00:16:51,240
spot with no investment. With no
investment investment. I mean we tried with

283
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,840
the fast ferry. We did,
and you know, well did we.

284
00:16:53,919 --> 00:16:56,759
I went on that fast ferry.
I was impressive. Okay, Yeah,

285
00:16:56,799 --> 00:17:00,480
I did take a ride across the
lake and that I didn't get chance too.

286
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,559
But Bill Johnson is my favorite mayor
Oka of all the time because he

287
00:17:03,639 --> 00:17:06,799
tried. Yes, that's my thing
about it. You tried something, you

288
00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:10,039
don't fail if in the end you
learned something out of it. Right now,

289
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:14,079
we see that slot can grow with
the port down there fully rented out.

290
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,119
Yeah, it is beautiful waterway,
beautiful marina. We have awesome events

291
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,279
down there. So it because something
good did come of it. But that

292
00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:23,720
fast ferry was way too early for
it was way too early. It was

293
00:17:23,759 --> 00:17:26,759
a little too quick. We can
we can get there though. Yeah,

294
00:17:26,279 --> 00:17:30,039
didn't they sell it for a dollar
or something? That you can remember the

295
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,640
guys who owned it. I knew
two of the guys. One of the

296
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,480
guys and he was a neighbor for
a few minutes. Then oh yeah,

297
00:17:36,519 --> 00:17:38,359
I saw that stuff all right,
See you know the inside info of in

298
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,839
it a little bit. Okay,
So then, um, you decide to

299
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,279
run for higher office. Yeah,
how does that go? Someone recruit you,

300
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,720
someone say, hey, man,
really kick it. Oh no,

301
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,839
they didn't want you. Well,
the person that was in this position before

302
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,000
I had heard that she wasn't going
to run again. Okay, Molly Clifford

303
00:17:56,039 --> 00:17:57,839
was in a position before, and
Um I called her up and I said,

304
00:17:59,079 --> 00:18:00,640
I hear you're not running. You
know, I have respect for what

305
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,759
you've done so far, but I
wanted to take the torch for non She

306
00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:07,319
said, sure, have at it. You know you got my blessing for

307
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:08,279
it. I don't know why I
would need a blessing, but no,

308
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,240
I think it's the right thing.
I thought it was the right thing to

309
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,400
do as well. I mean,
it's like asking my wife to get married.

310
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,960
I had to ask father. Um, so asked her. And from

311
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,960
that point on I just freaking hustled. Man. I I love knocking on

312
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,200
doors. A lot of people are
scared to knock on doors and inner city.

313
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,480
I went straight into the inner city. It's funny because I did not

314
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,960
knock on doors and shallot like at
all. Everyone thinks that I focused on

315
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,440
that area. I didn't. I
went into Driving Park, I went into

316
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,279
Sherman street. I went to it
everywhere, and I said, my number

317
00:18:37,319 --> 00:18:41,880
one question was this, do you
feel as if the time that you've lived

318
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,640
here that your community has improved or
not improved? Come on exactly, Well,

319
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,000
you gotta get you gotta get the
yes, right, you gotta yeah,

320
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,079
Obviously it hasn't improved. Okay,
So why keep voting the same way.

321
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,720
I'm telling you right now, I'm
I'm a bulldog. I'm gonna fight

322
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,839
for it. I'm gonna be very
loud and be very vocal. We may

323
00:18:56,839 --> 00:18:59,799
not agree on everything, but I'm
gonna fight for exactly what it is that

324
00:18:59,839 --> 00:19:03,079
you want. And I'm a push
my side, my feelings aside, because

325
00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:06,279
I do have my own biases on
things, and I have voted against things

326
00:19:06,279 --> 00:19:08,079
that I don't personally agree with.
But the people said they wanted it.

327
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,400
Okay, that makes sense, and
I think that's missing as well. Like

328
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:17,440
there's I understand I do because a
lot of times, a lot of people

329
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:22,279
don't understand that. You almost have
to have the wisdom of Solomon right where

330
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,400
you can see where here's why I
don't like it, but I do see

331
00:19:27,039 --> 00:19:30,880
where majority of you do, and
you feel like it's going to benefit you

332
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,680
I don't think you know, the
negative, isn't that bad source? To

333
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,279
do it right? Right? And
here here it is. Let's see what

334
00:19:37,319 --> 00:19:38,880
happens. If it doesn't work,
let's pull it back. Yeah. The

335
00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:41,960
problem with our cities we have no
follow up. There is no pullback.

336
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:47,240
Once we've given money to some organization, it seems like they continue to get

337
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,480
more and more money to continue doing
what they're doing. Would you be talking

338
00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:56,640
about the police accountability there's multiple organizations
that I think. I think we talked

339
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,640
about the Police Scounability Board, you
and I Yes, and then we'll Cleveland

340
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:06,279
got very upset. Yes, yeah, well all right because the board I

341
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,240
know, I guess he was.
We'll take a moment and then when we

342
00:20:10,279 --> 00:20:14,920
come back, I'll ask you what
do you feel like it's the biggest challenge

343
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,000
facing the city today? Sure?
Right now today? And then we can

344
00:20:18,039 --> 00:20:21,759
even get into the keya boys a
little bit, yes, and then how

345
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,759
the city of Rochester. Now that's
something I don't know that I agree with.

346
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,680
Okay, I think I understand why, but I don't agree with it.

347
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,680
If you find yourself heard on the
job and not knowing where to turn,

348
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,799
let me give you your first step
that would be Connors and Ferris and

351
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,839

with a trip to Leo's Hestchester. Oh,

371
00:22:03,519 --> 00:22:07,359
nose hairs, they're nasty. If
you see someone with a view sticking

372
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:08,839
out and they wave at you like
a flag, you need to tell them

373
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,359
about Manscape. That's right. You
don't want to pluck those. That's an

374
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:18,000
awful move. Manscape has all your
man holes covered. The Manscape weed whacker

you Yeah, it's good. I
used it. I find myself almost having

377
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,599
it every day. I'm like that
point in life where you go the hell

378
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,240
is that you can't be walking around
looking like a daddy. Long leg is

379
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,440
trying to escape your nostrils, so
you gotta get the Manscape. Weed Whacker

383
00:22:51,279 --> 00:22:55,359
l get twenty percent off when you
use the code Bill twenty at manscape dot

384
00:22:55,359 --> 00:23:17,559
com. That's twenty percent off with
the code Bill twenty. He ain't got

385
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,480
no regrets. I ain't losing trackers
that way. I'm going. I ain't

386

display angel, no put on no
my way. No, this guy,

388
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:49,079
it's Rochester's own lue Grand Graham about
no, he's gotta follow he does.

389
00:23:49,759 --> 00:23:55,599
Yeah, rev on the red line
the foreigners about Rayton Lake Avenue. But

390
00:23:55,759 --> 00:23:59,400
today is Luke Graham's seventy third birthday. Oh, happy birthday, Louke Graham

391
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,839
Graham. And I think I don't
know that he has He owns a building

392
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,079
downtown somewhere. It doesn't like to
say exactly where it is because he keeps

393
00:24:07,599 --> 00:24:10,240
some muscle cars in there. Okay, yeah, I think it was in

394
00:24:10,319 --> 00:24:14,240
my fraternity as well. Papa five. Really, I'm pretty sure he wasn't.

395
00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:18,519
Okay, he was, he was, I don't know he I remember

396
00:24:18,519 --> 00:24:21,640
once he bought a muscle car,
had it, bought it from California,

397
00:24:21,839 --> 00:24:23,880
had it trailed across the United States. So we had him on and we're

398
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,960
talking and I love cars and stuff. I would see him at some car

399
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,799
shows and things that we're talking about
it. And then later that night he

400
00:24:29,839 --> 00:24:32,400
was playing party in the Park,
which I think is a great event that

401
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,960
the same puts on. And he
pulls up and at the time he was

402
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,440
married and his wife gets out and
she walks over and says, it's thanks

403
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,480
so much for having Luan today.
A great interviewer really enjoyed it. And

404
00:24:41,519 --> 00:24:44,279
I said, yeah, I go, boy, that is some car.

405
00:24:44,799 --> 00:24:48,000
And she's like what, And there's
this guy behind her giving me the cuts

406
00:24:48,079 --> 00:24:52,279
on and I go, you're you're
fucking Louke Graham. Excuse my language,

407
00:24:52,279 --> 00:24:55,599
but you get to do what you
want, you know what I mean.

408
00:24:55,839 --> 00:25:00,279
He had some of the biggest hits. Reason, Yeah, yes, it

409
00:25:00,319 --> 00:25:06,240
is good. So what would you
say, Jose as you went around and

410
00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:10,880
you were talking about going into some
of the I don't know what the right

411
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,279
term would be, tougher that would
that be. When I say tougher,

412
00:25:14,279 --> 00:25:18,599
I don't necessarily mean anything other economic
conditions or a little tougher things are just

413
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,720
a little tougher. Sometimes we have
things called food deserts right in these areas

414
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:29,119
and stuff, and it's almost like
the only way to survive is to to

415
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,359
do something of a criminal entity at
times. Right, So they think so

416
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,559
they think, right, And you
went and knocked on doors and asked people,

417
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,119
has your neighborhood improved or kind of
slid? Uh? What do you

418
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,960
think is the biggest problem in the
city today? Or facing the city or

419
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,599
facing the residence. Let's put it
that way. I know exactly what it

420
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,000
is. It's the number one issue
that our city is facing. So that

421
00:25:49,519 --> 00:25:52,920
Uh, it's destroying our children,
It's pushing families out of the city.

422
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,759
It is the Rochester City School District. It is the number one worst thing

423
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:03,160
in our city by far, everything
that stems from the city school district when

424
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:07,039
it comes to poverty, because they
can't get jobs, because they can't freaking

425
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,200
read, they can't talk appropriately,
they don't have no eloquent speech. You

426
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,279
know, they don't have any job
skills, they don't have any life skills.

427
00:26:14,319 --> 00:26:18,519
So when you don't have that,
then you turn to the nefarious issues.

428
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:23,279
Yeah, that's funny, funny in
that I don't think I expected that

429
00:26:23,319 --> 00:26:29,039
answer. Well, if you think
about it, it's a great answer.

430
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,640
That's a great answer. It's just
I don't think that most people would point

431
00:26:32,839 --> 00:26:34,799
the finger there. Well, when
when you have the conversations like this,

432
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,319
people will will gravitate towards that.
Finally they'll say, all right, we'll

433
00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:41,039
talk about poverty, but how do
people get into poverty. Well, they

434
00:26:41,039 --> 00:26:45,680
don't finish school. That's the number
one reason they don't finish school. They

435
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,799
have children out of wedlock, and
then they don't get married to that person

436
00:26:48,839 --> 00:26:52,079
that or stay with the person that
they or that child with that. Those

437
00:26:52,079 --> 00:26:56,720
are the top three reasons of why
a child is born into poverty and continues

438
00:26:56,759 --> 00:26:59,960
into poverty and continues it and to
their lifetime. I mean, those are

439
00:27:00,039 --> 00:27:03,559
top three issues. But it stems
from the school district. We have a

440
00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:07,400
school that just came into SAT,
the old Shalatt High School, which was

441
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,960
the leadership academy. It was at
all boys school. Yeah, they shut

442
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,839
it down and turned into a social
justice school. All right, I thought

443
00:27:14,839 --> 00:27:17,599
they were joking with me. I
said, I'm a Josepo. You're gonna

444
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:22,759
put a social justice school in my
district in Shalat especially, I was working

445
00:27:22,799 --> 00:27:26,960
for two years to bring an entrepreneurship
class to that school. You know how

446
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,960
hard it is to add an entrepreneurship
or a financial literacy class to a RCSD

447
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,839
schedule. I don't think you can
do it anywhere. Right, we don't

448
00:27:34,839 --> 00:27:38,640
teach about we can change. We
can change from a standard school to a

449
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:44,640
social justice school within a summer.
Well yeah, yeah, I hear you.

450
00:27:44,799 --> 00:27:45,839
So what are you what are you
actually getting these kids ready for?

451
00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:51,160
What is the social justice? So
I went to their soapbox talks, right,

452
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,559
and these kids talked about the issues, the social issues of the day

453
00:27:53,559 --> 00:27:59,519
that require more social justice. One
is access to guns. They wanted to

454
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:06,799
get rid of guns essentially. They
believe that also mental health that is an

455
00:28:06,799 --> 00:28:11,000
issue. Obviously these kids have a
huge mental health issue. Um. Number

456
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,400
three was sexual conversations in the school. How how are we teaching kids about

457
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:21,720
sexuality and gender? Okay, Um, so those were to me one of

458
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:26,000
the top three issues that they spoke
about. Um, I'm confused on the

459
00:28:26,519 --> 00:28:32,079
sex and gender, right, it
would be most people are and I don't

460
00:28:32,079 --> 00:28:36,559
mean to sound ignorant or I hope, but I would think that sex and

461
00:28:36,599 --> 00:28:41,000
gender would be more Are they looking
for more acceptance for other identities? They

462
00:28:41,079 --> 00:28:45,799
want to talk about the other sex
as the other genders, the hundreds of

463
00:28:45,839 --> 00:28:51,160
genders that they might think, you
know, and then the multiple ways that

464
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,960
you can have relationships with other people. Okay, fine and Dan, yes,

465
00:28:56,279 --> 00:28:59,000
right, But if you were going
to say that you can't include this

466
00:28:59,079 --> 00:29:00,519
is my thing. You want to
teach your kids and you want you kids

467
00:29:00,519 --> 00:29:03,720
to learn that kind of stuff.
Fine, cool, I'm with it.

468
00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:07,160
But if your kids are not prepared
for real life when they graduate high school,

469
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,799
then what was the point of everything
else? Well, here would be

470
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:17,680
my question to you. Sure that
sounds like a great assembly, right,

471
00:29:17,759 --> 00:29:22,079
a discussion. He's right, you
know, here's somebody who would identifies is

472
00:29:22,119 --> 00:29:26,200
this here's why they feel this way
we need to be accepting. Here's the

473
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,119
pronouns they would prefer all that.
I don't know that I need to hope

474
00:29:30,359 --> 00:29:33,359
for your program. Well as you
understand what yes, and what I'm thinking

475
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,759
is you would want them to your
point, what are we doing that it's

476
00:29:37,799 --> 00:29:41,799
gonna sustain you later on? Because
knowing who you are is important, But

477
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,920
then what to do after that,
Because when you look at politics, you

478
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,400
when you start something new, you
have to take away from something else,

479
00:29:49,839 --> 00:29:55,119
or you increase taxes. It's as
simple as that. The money is a

480
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,440
certain amount of money that you have
to play with, right, It's like

481
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,559
monopoly money. When you have to
pay for something new program, where's that

482
00:30:00,599 --> 00:30:03,759
money going to come from. It's
either gonna come from your wallets or it's

483
00:30:03,759 --> 00:30:07,359
gonna come from something else. So
a lot of people were wanting to defund

484
00:30:07,359 --> 00:30:10,240
the police, right, take money
from the police and put it into social

485
00:30:10,319 --> 00:30:14,079
justice concerns, which I agree that
we need to fund this, but that

486
00:30:14,119 --> 00:30:17,240
doesn't mean we take away from this. I think that there could be a

487
00:30:17,279 --> 00:30:21,039
more balancing approach. Yeah, I
didn't like the term defund the police.

488
00:30:21,039 --> 00:30:22,759
I don't think anybody that was bad
market. I think it was anti It

489
00:30:22,839 --> 00:30:26,160
made it felt too anti police,
and I think that most people would agree

490
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:32,880
that we do need them. So
maybe you could say reallocate fund I don't

491
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,200
know, they don't think the pounds
that they didn't start with that. Yeah,

492
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,480
of course, once they started getting
the heat for it and they started

493
00:30:37,519 --> 00:30:41,039
seeing that the vast majority of people
were not in agreement with them. Then

494
00:30:41,119 --> 00:30:42,880
they switched their tone. It's like
bud Light now coming out with a whole

495
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,000
new commercial. Right, they switched
their tone real quick. Yeah, and

496
00:30:47,039 --> 00:30:49,599
I understand because it's not working.
Right. So, well, they're in

497
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,960
the business of making money, right, And I guess we would say that,

498
00:30:55,079 --> 00:30:57,599
you know, if you're defund the
police, you're in the business of

499
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,759
making money for something, something else, something else, right. Yeah,

500
00:31:00,839 --> 00:31:04,400
And now we've we're funding a ton
of programs, a ton of programs and

501
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:11,519
tens of millions of dollars into making
sure that kids are understanding that there's alternative

502
00:31:11,559 --> 00:31:15,559
ways, you know, pathways to
peace, making sure they're not out there

503
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,519
on the streets doing ridiculous things.
I think this last year we put in

504
00:31:18,559 --> 00:31:26,000
at least thirteen million into just anti
anti they're not out there just killing people,

505
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,680
making sure that they understand that there's
alternatives. And on top of that,

506
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,160
we're paying money to hire these teenagers. As a company, you can

507
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:40,400
hire this teenager on the city dollar. Wow, So you wouldn't even have

508
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,960
to pay them as an employer.
Nope, but you could. It can

509
00:31:44,039 --> 00:31:47,720
almost be like a paid apprenticeship.
Yes, if right, if we do,

510
00:31:47,759 --> 00:31:49,799
a lot of employers don't know about
it, right, how did it

511
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,519
okay? Why don't they know about
it? That's one of the other biggest

512
00:31:53,519 --> 00:31:56,519
issues with our cities that we're not
speaking directly to the people. Yeah,

513
00:31:56,519 --> 00:32:00,400
we put it on the news or
put on WXX side, put it into

514
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,680
a newspaper, and we assume that
everybody reads or sees those specific things or

515
00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:07,480
by dk X everyone listens to them. Right. Well, that that maybe

516
00:32:07,599 --> 00:32:12,119
I don't want to because I'm always
afraid nowadays, like, but you're not

517
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,119
hitting the people part of traditional media, right, Like if I say something

518
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:19,720
negatives like you no no know what
I'm saying, I understand that people's attention

519
00:32:19,839 --> 00:32:23,440
or split exactly newspapers are. I
mean, it's right, it's it's down,

520
00:32:23,519 --> 00:32:28,160
it's a dying and that is cutting
all the time. Doesn't mean that

521
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,480
somebody's not going to get that information, but it's not getting to where you

522
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,480
need it. But is it the
right person? Right? If we're putting

523
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,599
it, we're just blessing it out
there. It's like putting your name on

524
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,880
a on a billboard. Yes,
that doesn't mean that anyone passing by it

525
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,279
is going to remember mac of all
trades, right, you got it.

526
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,680
Um, they're just gonna see it
and then maybe they see enough to remember

527
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:50,759
how happy didn't But you hope that
people remember that. Yeah, but if

528
00:32:50,839 --> 00:32:53,880
in marketing you understand that you want
to go towards the people that will benefit

529
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,319
from your message, and we're just
not doing that as a city. Now,

530
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,039
me and myself, I have an
app you can download if you just

531
00:33:00,039 --> 00:33:04,240
search Jose Po. I'm literally the
only politician in the world with his own

532
00:33:04,279 --> 00:33:07,240
app. I talked directly to my
constituents. They can send me issues right

533
00:33:07,279 --> 00:33:12,480
through their app. That's pretty freaking
cool. Why can I do that in

534
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,759
the city? Can't do that?
Did you ask them? Because I've met

535
00:33:15,759 --> 00:33:19,839
they have an answer. I'm sure
they do. There's always answer, right.

536
00:33:19,839 --> 00:33:22,519
He made the app for money for
it Fiver, you had fiber do

537
00:33:22,599 --> 00:33:29,480
the app. Brilliant. Oh that's
brilliant. Thank you. I want an

538
00:33:29,519 --> 00:33:31,640
app, seriously, I've been thinking
about that and talking to people, but

539
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:37,200
the cost was looking astronomical. Yeah, it's a little different for me because

540
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,119
you would want audio things and all
that, right, right, But let's

541
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:44,680
go back to the Jose that is
that's brilliant. I was a big fan

542
00:33:44,759 --> 00:33:49,359
when we talked, because I forgive
my blunt language, but you're kind of

543
00:33:49,359 --> 00:33:53,079
a no bullshit guy. I appreciate
your language. I like the the logic.

544
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,359
It made sense. There was a
lot of, in my opinion,

545
00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:00,319
linear thinking. Um. It would
be things like, I understand why a

546
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:07,559
social justice school sounds good, but
what is it doing right? And what

547
00:34:07,599 --> 00:34:12,039
are we doing? Are we making
things more divisive? Are we not uniting

548
00:34:12,039 --> 00:34:14,840
the way we really think we are. I don't know the answer to that.

549
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,840
I'm not an expert, but i
have opinions like anybody else, and

550
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,639
I'll say all the time that they're
halfway between fact and fiction. That's what

551
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,199
the opinion is by definition. But
when you've got things like that going on

552
00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:29,360
in a place that's already a mess, Yeah, you bring up a lot

553
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,199
of good points. Where do we
how do you fix? I mean,

554
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:37,639
it's been like, man, My
parents were educators. My dad was a

555
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:42,519
sixth grade English teacher in the inner
city of Poughkeepsie, which had more murders

556
00:34:42,519 --> 00:34:45,679
per capita than Brooklyn. Yeah,
because it's it's really small. My mom

557
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:51,280
was a speech pathologist in the Wappinger
School district. So I grew up around

558
00:34:51,599 --> 00:34:54,760
this kind of stuff. But I
came up here, I went to college

559
00:34:54,760 --> 00:35:00,920
here, and I go this school
system has been a mass four thirty plus

560
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:08,079
years. And a guy who I
went to college with who is not I

561
00:35:08,119 --> 00:35:10,719
would say, I don't know if
he's persona on brought up with the city

562
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:15,360
of Rochester anymore. But Adam McFadden
and Adam and I used to talk a

563
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,440
lot, and Adam would say to
me, I worry about the future of

564
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,639
the city. And Adam used to
much like yourself, walk the streets,

565
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,639
talk to people. There was this
horrible incident that happened where a woman got

566
00:35:25,679 --> 00:35:29,719
beaten to death trying to protect her
daughter down I forget. It might have

567
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,159
been on Dewey or something many many
yeah, okay, might have been many

568
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,280
years ago. And Adam went and
he knew who was involved, and he

569
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:42,079
talked and you know, now he
did something that certainly and was paying his

570
00:35:42,199 --> 00:35:45,519
time. But he would say to
me, I worry that when the grandparents

571
00:35:45,519 --> 00:35:51,559
start to die, there's gonna be
nobody to raise the kids because the parents

572
00:35:51,599 --> 00:35:54,880
aren't doing it. They're not there. And as you said, young maybe

573
00:35:54,920 --> 00:36:00,239
not staying together on protected sex.
And people always go, well, how

574
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,119
do we need to get them condoms. We didn't. Come on, man,

575
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,719
here's the here's the thing with sex
that nobody wants to admit. It's

576
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,239
free and it feels good. Yeah, Okay, I got a shitty life,

577
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,800
you know what I mean. Let's
say I don't have a lot.

578
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,679
I don't have a lot of things
in life, and don't have a lot

579
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:16,400
of places I can go in a
lot of entertainment. I may have my

580
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,039
guilty pleasure, yeah, but I've
got an escape for an hour. Yeah,

581
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:24,199
yeah, exact hour. But you
know, and I think that we

582
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:29,039
don't see it that way, and
and yet we almost want to demonize people

583
00:36:29,079 --> 00:36:31,320
as well. They need to acting
like we didn't do it. Come on,

584
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:37,400
man, stop it. And the
terms are they in this? We

585
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:42,599
need to bring it down and start
of the conversation at a human level.

586
00:36:42,679 --> 00:36:45,800
Exactly humanize. Yeah, we forget
that they're humans because we look at them,

587
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,039
or some people would look at them
as just straight up animals living in

588
00:36:49,039 --> 00:36:52,599
animal life. Well, they you
got to understand when you're when you're living

589
00:36:52,639 --> 00:36:57,960
in a school system where it's essentially
an animal house people, where they just

590
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,480
allow these kids to do whatever.
The teachers in the city schools said exactly

591
00:37:01,039 --> 00:37:06,000
Yeah, they're just not getting what. You're not hearing anywhere near the amount

592
00:37:06,039 --> 00:37:07,679
of issues that are happening in our
city school In our city schools, you

593
00:37:07,679 --> 00:37:10,360
have no idea what's happening in there
because it does not make the news because

594
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,440
the schools are blocking it from making
it the news. We're talking about teachers

595
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:20,320
drinking. Teachers drinking with their kids
at like an overnight event. Wow,

596
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,280
that didn't make the news. No, but it's a bonding experience that's not

597
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:28,639
drink is here underage kids underage?
I understand. Well. There was also

598
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,920
where teachers were getting physically assaulted.
Yeah, in many of the schools overacting

599
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:37,039
like these kids are so young,
right, these kids? I mean,

600
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,039
I don't know if it's a geniously
river water that allow these kids to look

601
00:37:40,039 --> 00:37:44,639
like forging incredible hawks these days,
but these kids have grown up real quick.

602
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,320
And you know, you could be
fourteen looking like you're eighteen, yeah,

603
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:51,480
real easily. But these kids,
And you ask the question earlier about

604
00:37:51,519 --> 00:37:53,840
how do we fix that? I
believe that there's really only kind of two

605
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:59,159
ways to do that. UM Number
one, completely dismantled at our CSD and

606
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:04,320
allow our kids to join in as
a county with allowing our kids to be

607
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:09,440
involved with the bordering towns and they're
bordering neighborhoods to bring the schools together.

608
00:38:09,639 --> 00:38:13,960
Yeah, I'm I'm not saying that's
I'm not saying that's a good answer.

609
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,800
I'm saying that that is one answer. If you want to talk about integration

610
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:22,760
and reverse racism, that's one answer. The other answer is give the parents

611
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,440
the opportunity to use that tax money
to put their kid to whatever school they

612
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,840
want, whether it be a public
school and they take a check from it,

613
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:31,920
whatever it may be, or they
put it to a private school,

614
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,079
or they go into a charter school. Because when my son was going to

615
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:38,679
private school, I'm not gonna name
their names because they didn't give me no

616
00:38:39,199 --> 00:38:45,199
discount of rates, but it was
seventy five hundred a year kids to go

617
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,039
to the c school district. Our
taxpayers are paying around about thirty three thousand

618
00:38:49,079 --> 00:38:52,440
dollars a year, So why don't
we just pay these private polls thirty three

619
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:58,039
thousand dollars years per child, child
per child, thirty three thousand, you

620
00:38:58,039 --> 00:39:00,400
were seventy five hundred, seventy five
hundred, So why don't we just pay

621
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,679
for these kids? To go to
private schools and what was that, Saint

622
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:07,920
Catarie And there's still sixty million dollars
in the whole sun How this school?

623
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:12,679
Right? And we're not getting the
opportunities that these young kids are doing now.

624
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,800
I don't know what the cost is
today, but I had one kid

625
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:20,119
that went to McQuaid and it was
half of the number you just said,

626
00:39:20,199 --> 00:39:22,599
yeah, almost Yeah, once you
get into junior high in high school,

627
00:39:22,599 --> 00:39:27,320
that numbers come up. But even
if you say half, but you're getting

628
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,719
double the other education. You're getting
double the sports opportunities about eight and twelve

629
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,119
yeah, yeah, from middle school. And so what are we doing?

630
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,239
Why do we keep doing this?
Their budgets over a billion dollars. When

631
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:42,639
you say things like this, what
happens? Oh? I get laughed at

632
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,320
by other members of the city council, other members of the city council,

633
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:51,320
people in the crowd. They say
that's just crazy. And I'm saying,

634
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,000
well, what's your answer then,
because this isn't working right. You know,

635
00:39:54,159 --> 00:39:57,920
parents are leaving the city when their
kid turns five years old. They're

636
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,920
leaving the city because they don't want
to deal with this. Yeah. Do

637
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:06,000
you know that for many, many
years just to give you like kind of

638
00:40:06,039 --> 00:40:13,800
the the plus in the mind is
here in this area. You go fifteen

639
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:20,159
minutes to the east and you have
a school district that only until maybe I'm

640
00:40:20,199 --> 00:40:22,440
going to say I think it was
in the last two years. It could

641
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,800
have been in the last five years, went to full day kindergarten. And

642
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:30,199
the reason they didn't have it was
the kids were getting everything else at home.

643
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:34,840
They had half day kindergarten in Pittsford, and the only reason was that

644
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,000
the kids were learning technology, the
parents were reading to them. There was

645
00:40:37,039 --> 00:40:40,159
all this other stuff that was going
on, right, and you know,

646
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,960
I know there's universal PreK and things
in the city, which I think is

647
00:40:44,039 --> 00:40:46,960
great, and you know, it
is a good opportunity for these children to

648
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:51,280
be in a learning environment, but
they didn't have it there. You go

649
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,519
fifteen minutes in the other direction and
where you are in one of the worst.

650
00:40:54,199 --> 00:40:59,000
I mean, the dichotomy is crazy. Just in general, the same

651
00:40:59,079 --> 00:41:02,559
fifteen miles got some of the better
school districts in the state top ten.

652
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,519
Yes, and you've got the city
school district. He said, it's a

653
00:41:06,559 --> 00:41:08,519
war zone. Yeah. I went
to West ron Acquai High School, where

654
00:41:08,519 --> 00:41:14,480
I graduated and my teacher there,
lu To Caesar, who constantly brings up

655
00:41:14,559 --> 00:41:17,639
kids into financial literacy and entrepreneurship.
They just were ranked the round Quaid School

656
00:41:17,639 --> 00:41:23,440
District was just ranked like twenty fifth
in the country for financial literacy. Yeah,

657
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:27,199
what are we doing in a city? We're not. I don't know

658
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,239
that they're doing it a lot of
places. I didn't even know they were

659
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:30,199
doing in a West Arontic quick.
But you're right, you're not. They're

660
00:41:30,199 --> 00:41:32,679
not doing it in the city.
And those are the things. It's almost

661
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,360
like, if you could these kids
want to learn. Yes, they do.

662
00:41:36,599 --> 00:41:38,519
I will say that. I know
there were people were not a fan

663
00:41:38,559 --> 00:41:44,960
of what Roland Williams was doing with
his academy, but I'm pretty sure And

664
00:41:45,079 --> 00:41:49,000
I thought it might have been Sheriff
Baxter who I talked to, who said

665
00:41:49,039 --> 00:41:53,960
to me, we've never had a
kid involved in that program have an interaction

666
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:58,519
with the police. He phrased it
that way, never had a kid who

667
00:41:58,599 --> 00:42:00,199
was involved in That's a great statist, isn't it. Yeah, it's a

668
00:42:00,199 --> 00:42:04,400
statistic that we need to be talking
about. Like numbers don't live, No,

669
00:42:04,519 --> 00:42:08,599
but people want but all kids wants
to belong to something and self esteem.

670
00:42:08,639 --> 00:42:13,719
And I really feel like the biggest
problem in life with almost everything is

671
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,480
self esteem. And if we could
just take a little bit of pride and

672
00:42:15,639 --> 00:42:20,320
clean up our yard and then from
there then the street, and it has

673
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,880
to start at home, you would
think that this ship just gets picked up.

674
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,440
It's easier said than done. Well, I see that part, and

675
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,440
I also see if you're doing all
this in your neighbor next door is throwing

676
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,320
parties still three o'clock in the morning
and selling drugs all day and you call

677
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:35,119
it a place and nothing happens right
Like, I can see that part of

678
00:42:35,119 --> 00:42:37,440
it too. Where Why am I
doing all this when this guy is just

679
00:42:37,559 --> 00:42:39,960
able to live and is you know, doing whatever how he wants? Yes,

680
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,599
And that's how our city is living
right now. People are just living,

681
00:42:43,639 --> 00:42:46,679
however, to how they want because
there's no repercussions at all, including

682
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:50,320
the Kia Boys. Yeah, well, the Kia Boys. Why don't we

683
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,000
talk about there are two things that
I'd like to talk to you about,

684
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:58,679
the Kia Boys and a story that
thirteen Wham had and we'll play back the

685
00:42:58,679 --> 00:43:04,440
audio on basically squatters and how hard
it is to get people out of apartments

686
00:43:05,119 --> 00:43:07,960
or I don't know if their apartments, but buildings or whatever. Yeah,

687
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:14,599
any property and how difficult that is
and really what it's doing to the city.

688
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:20,039
Yeah, I mean right, property
values are important. They are important

689
00:43:20,079 --> 00:43:22,159
for those who there's a lot of
people who live in a city who've been

690
00:43:22,199 --> 00:43:24,840
living there for thirty something years.
They want their property and these were their

691
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:29,440
neighborhoods and this is where their lives
are exactly, and they watched it burning

692
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,119

we're playing it just to Yeah. Tim

744
00:47:19,119 --> 00:47:27,519
Bachman has died. Pretty I'd send
to be a Kanye guy, okay,

745
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,880
or in sync? You know,
whoa whoa, whoa whoa. We just

746
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:37,199
went like I call it Kanye.
Okay. Do you like yeasies? I

747
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,039
do not. I would never spend
that kind of money. I gotta tell

748
00:47:39,079 --> 00:47:43,960
you, Like I put them on. My wife has them. They are

749
00:47:44,079 --> 00:47:46,519
so comfortable. I don't care.
Would never spend that money. They're so

750
00:47:46,679 --> 00:47:50,639
comfortable I buy, I buy the
bootlegs. You kind you know, you

751
00:47:50,679 --> 00:47:53,280
know you you spent the money indirectly
if your wife has got him. Yeah,

752
00:47:53,079 --> 00:47:58,360
yeah, actually probably. We have
some friends. There's a store in

753
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,800
Eastvie mall called the Plug, and
they've got all the shoes. My sister

754
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:06,320
in law is one of the people
there. Oh she is yeah Natasha,

755
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,400
Okay did she she's not married to
No? Okay, I don't know.

756
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,960
You can't miss her if you go
there. Yeah, I went in the

757
00:48:15,039 --> 00:48:17,519
day I went through. It was
a bunch of bunch of guys. I

758
00:48:17,639 --> 00:48:22,679
am very uh intrigued by the sneaker
game. I am not not, but

759
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,840
I am intrigued by this whole economy
that's happening. Oh, it's crazy,

760
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,559
right because Jimmy's he's one of those
guys. He is. Yeah, he

761
00:48:29,679 --> 00:48:31,599
sends me pictures all the time.
When he's out. Jimmy will just take

762
00:48:31,599 --> 00:48:37,000
a day and he'll go down to
like the outlets or different stores and he'll

763
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:42,280
scoop up what he believes are gonna
be rare Jordan's, Nike Jordan's, and

764
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,599
then he goes and he puts him
on consignment sometimes or he'll save him him.

765
00:48:45,679 --> 00:48:49,719
He's I think he's sitting on a
couple that he spent oh one,

766
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,440
He's sitting on tens of thousands of
dollars with the sneakers. Yeah, yeah,

767
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:57,000
I've seen his apartment was like filled
with not his partment, but he

768
00:48:57,039 --> 00:49:02,599
has like a yeas all right,
So Jose, what do we think about

769
00:49:02,599 --> 00:49:07,599
the the Kia Boys? What is
going on with the Kia boys? Man,

770
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,039
it's it's an interesting thing. You're
trying to get my blood level up?

771
00:49:10,079 --> 00:49:15,920
Yes, a little bit. Well
from like you kind of blame TikTok

772
00:49:15,039 --> 00:49:21,159
in a way, we got social
media that same TikTok. You're right,

773
00:49:21,199 --> 00:49:22,960
you can't you get the parents allowing
their kids to have TikTok. Well,

774
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,599
okay, well, or you can
blame the people that put it up on

775
00:49:25,639 --> 00:49:30,000
TikTok. TikTok didn't do this.
It was somebody showed. Someone makes a

776
00:49:30,079 --> 00:49:34,639
decision, made a decision on how
to you know, rip these cars off.

777
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,679
Right, So now it's led to
not just stolen cars, which is

778
00:49:37,679 --> 00:49:42,360
a huge inconvenience for anybody, right, I mean, it's way worse than

779
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,760
that. It's way worse than that, because imagine your car gets stolen out

780
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:46,719
of the parking lot here, right, it's pain in the ash. They

781
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,880
take the car and they crash it
into a store. Well, that's where

782
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,360
I was gonna go next. It's
usually I because at first it was just

783
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,360
they were stealing cars. Now it's
smashing. Now it's smashing grabs, right,

784
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:57,920
and then they steal everything out of
that store, and then they run

785
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:01,039
away and then they dumped their vehicle
wherever, or they get caught by the

786
00:50:01,039 --> 00:50:05,840
place. And none of these fourteen
fifteen year olds get rereleased an hour later,

787
00:50:06,199 --> 00:50:09,559
whose insurance goes up? Mine and
the store right, and now they

788
00:50:09,559 --> 00:50:13,400
have to pay further stuff And people
say, oh, they have insurance.

789
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:17,199
It's okay. People people are getting
there's businesses getting their insurance dropped, dropped

790
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:22,280
in the city. They're not talking
about I had. One newscaster was talking

791
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,039
about it. People are getting their
insurance dropped. They're going through thirteen different

792
00:50:25,039 --> 00:50:30,679
insurance companies just to find insurance to
cover them in the city. Who's the

793
00:50:30,679 --> 00:50:34,880
news reporters and my friend, um, no, it wasn't Berkeley. He'll

794
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,199
be I'm sure he'll be getting on
it. We talked earlier today. But

795
00:50:37,559 --> 00:50:42,360
that's that's what's really happening in reality
here people say, oh, insurance will

796
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,840
cover it. Well, that person
is now has to call into work.

797
00:50:45,119 --> 00:50:47,760
Who knows if they're under last call
in you might lose their job. They

798
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:51,880
have to get a rental, who
has who knows if they have collision insurance?

799
00:50:52,039 --> 00:50:54,639
Right, So if they don't have
collision insurance, you just totally screwed

800
00:50:54,639 --> 00:50:58,719
them. Yeah, and I'll say, you crash into another vehicle running through

801
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,199
a red light, you just roy
someone's livelihood because you t boned them.

802
00:51:01,199 --> 00:51:05,239
Like my sister got t boned and
a car fitted over. They all pretty

803
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,000
much went to the hospital and we're
out of work for over a week.

804
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:12,880
Who pays for that? So it's
way worse than inconvenience it is. It

805
00:51:13,039 --> 00:51:15,360
is terrible what we are doing to
the good people in this city, who

806
00:51:15,519 --> 00:51:20,360
seriously just want to go to work, get some money to afford R G

807
00:51:20,519 --> 00:51:22,239
and E, get some groceries that
are way over priced at this point,

808
00:51:22,679 --> 00:51:24,920
and be able to feed their family, and then wake up the next day

809
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,320
and do it all over again.
That's all they want to do. And

810
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,559
the kids. They want their kids
to grow up in a safe neighborhood.

811
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:31,679
What are we doing to these people? We're destroying them? Wow? Dare

812
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:35,920
they ask God for all this?
What do they think? This is America?

813
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,599
What were you doing? Yeah,
you should have reasonable expectations the pursuit

814
00:51:38,599 --> 00:51:43,039
of happiness. You should have that. Well, one thing I brought up

815
00:51:43,039 --> 00:51:46,880
to the mayor was holding the parents
insurance accountable. If you're okay, so

816
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:51,599
the parents of the kids, yes, yeah, if they have insurance,

817
00:51:51,599 --> 00:51:53,920
we're going after your car insurance.
I don't care if you have collision or

818
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:55,960
not. We're going after your insurance. Your insurance has to pay for all

819
00:51:55,960 --> 00:52:01,480
that damage. Better than going out
after Kia or Hyundai. Who's gonna win

820
00:52:01,519 --> 00:52:05,480
in that? Well, here's the
way the city's gonna win money and do

821
00:52:05,519 --> 00:52:08,639
what with it? That was my
question, Like, I got it.

822
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,800
I understand, it's it's a to
me, it's great political posturing. I

823
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,079
don't know any other way to say
it. But I hate that. I

824
00:52:15,119 --> 00:52:19,639
hate that. I understand that hand
it is, but to your point,

825
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,840
like, and I know that that
the mayor had talked about a senior citizen

826
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,880
who couldn't get the doctor's appointments,
but somebody who had sneakers stolen and all

827
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,880
this stuff, like, there's gonna
be people who well, leaving your sneakers

828
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:34,039
in the cars a little bit enticing
anyway, potentially, right, don't do

829
00:52:34,119 --> 00:52:37,000
that. But uh, it is
a major inconvenience. But it's an inconvenience

830
00:52:37,039 --> 00:52:40,519
just for you. I don't feel
it if your car gets stolen, right

831
00:52:40,639 --> 00:52:45,280
necessarily if your insurance will go up
though, yes it will because insurance is

832
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:49,199
based on the geographical location. Yes
it is, yea, So we're all

833
00:52:49,199 --> 00:52:52,039
going to feel it's the most it's
the most socialism program that we have insurance,

834
00:52:52,119 --> 00:52:55,280
Yeah, because everyone has figures.
I don't think people really but I

835
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:59,119
don't think people really think. I
think that way. You got to think

836
00:52:59,119 --> 00:53:01,039
about the lung one solve statistics,
right, what area are you living in?

837
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,559
That's why they That's why the number
one question is what tras up code

838
00:53:04,639 --> 00:53:08,119
ye yeah, and you may want
to lie and say one four yeah,

839
00:53:08,119 --> 00:53:15,239
and that you moved out. Uh
so you've got these all that going on.

840
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:19,599
And then I felt like it was
a pannering thing to say that you're

841
00:53:19,599 --> 00:53:22,000
suing them. Now there could be
the key and hunda. I go,

842
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:27,119
we're not monsters and we're not doing
anything. That was horrible and it was

843
00:53:27,159 --> 00:53:30,280
a flawed and we didn't realize it
because it just who who would even think?

844
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,599
Right? You know what I'm saying, like, you need to hire

845
00:53:32,639 --> 00:53:37,920
the kids. You need to take
their their superpowers of evil or apply them

846
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:39,119
to good. You know all they
do it with hackers all the time,

847
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:43,920
right, they hire them at different
companies to go they prevent that ship from

848
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:47,440
happening. But uh, I go, boy, you sue these guys.

849
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:52,239
They may settle just to look like
good corporation. They're gonna have to settle.

850
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,840
Yeah. Yeah, it's just like
the gun manufacturers there, we're suing

851
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,400
the gun manufacturers as well, for
all right, gun murders. Right,

852
00:53:58,519 --> 00:54:02,519
why who's gonna what We're gonna The
city's gonna get money because gun manufactures made

853
00:54:02,519 --> 00:54:07,639
guns. So I would think that
the people that were referenced in the mayor's

854
00:54:07,639 --> 00:54:09,840
speech. Are not going to see
a dime of that, No, I

855
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:14,800
would. I think the city will, and it may be to pay for

856
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,000
the police officers. And maybe that's
some good. No, you don't think

857
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:22,960
so. I just I saw you
dismissed that pretty quick. Anything with pandering,

858
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,400
I just I have no time for
whatsoever. And it's both the Keia

859
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:30,840
thing and and Hondai and the gun
manufacturer thing, Like, we have a

860
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:34,039
really big issue going out in our
city. And then I'm taking this from

861
00:54:34,079 --> 00:54:36,920
I'm giving him credit at Berkeley Breen
earlier, he said, it's like the

862
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,199
house is on fire, yes,
and your it's your house, right,

863
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:42,960
Your house is on fire, and
you're talking about how you need to fix

864
00:54:43,119 --> 00:54:47,960
the the basement. Yeah, go
to be left, man, We need

865
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,639
really need to fix that basement.
Well there's a fire happening right now.

866
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:53,199
You need to put the fire out
right right now. We need to put

867
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,679
the fire output our attention on that. I don't I'm not saying we can't

868
00:54:55,679 --> 00:55:00,039
do anything else, but what's the
outcome of this. We're gonna soothe and

869
00:55:00,199 --> 00:55:01,679
then what We're gonna get money,
and then we're gonna pay for police officers.

870
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,519
When that family's out of money because
they couldn't go to work, well,

871
00:55:05,559 --> 00:55:09,159
you got it. They see that. That's the part, and that

872
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:15,360
to me sort of dovetails into why
we're seeing kids get off so quickly.

873
00:55:15,599 --> 00:55:19,239
Right, there's been a thirteen year
old boy, allegedly I will say that,

874
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,000
I love that word. I won't
just say that allegedly button, Yeah,

875
00:55:22,159 --> 00:55:30,800
allegedly according to the sheriff, that's
been arrested six times and has been

876
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:32,440
released every time. And a fourteen
year old multiple times as well. Okay,

877
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,880
so these are thirteen and fourteen year
olds. Now, we do have

878
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,599
the bail reform laws. From what
I understood the bail reform law to be,

879
00:55:39,119 --> 00:55:43,679
and I talked to may Or Evans
about this, okay, was that

880
00:55:44,119 --> 00:55:47,000
if someone swiped a pack of gum, and this may be a bad analogy

881
00:55:47,119 --> 00:55:51,920
because most people aren't swiping a pack
of gum, but that you wouldn't go

882
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:53,880
to jail, so you could go
to work the next day. What's like,

883
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:58,519
we're talking about where you can if
your car stolen, right, so

884
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:00,840
maybe you could take a bus,
but even that, you're figuring all that

885
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:06,079
shit out right, So that the
idea was that you wouldn't be We wouldn't

886
00:56:06,079 --> 00:56:09,119
prevent you from being able to provide
for your family and continue to work if

887
00:56:09,119 --> 00:56:14,320
it was something minor. I don't
know where the boundaries are on that.

888
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:19,199
What's minor, what's not? Who
gets to determine that that was, in

889
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,360
my opinion wrong. No, in
my opinion, is worse than pandering because

890
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:25,000
you're succumbing to the pressure. So
they say they succumbed to the pressure of

891
00:56:25,039 --> 00:56:29,960
the BLM movement saying there needs to
be no cash bail and we need to

892
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:31,920
let out people who are fifty five
and older because somehow they can't commit crime.

893
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:36,400
And during COVID we let everybody out
of the jail because they can't catch

894
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,199
COVID in jail, they have to
catch it at home insteady And so we

895
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,960
let all the criminals out of jail, We put them in homes that they

896
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:45,719
were not expected to have, and
then we close everything down. Yeah,

897
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:47,440
so what's left. These kids are
gonna see these guys that just came out

898
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:51,599
of jail who were in there doing
hard time for whatever reason it was.

899
00:56:52,159 --> 00:56:53,719
These kids are learning from them.
Now they're going out there and they're doing

900
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:59,880
the things because they these older folks
know that these kids can't go to jail.

901
00:57:00,119 --> 00:57:00,960
They're gonna tell him, you can't
go to Joe. Doesn't matter,

902
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,639
you get caught, you'll be up
within an hour. So here we are

903
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:07,960
with So you think that these kids
are being recruited by other people too?

904
00:57:07,039 --> 00:57:10,840
Oh? Absolutely, absolutely things.
Yeah, it's it's not just teenagers who

905
00:57:12,199 --> 00:57:15,400
just decided, hey, let's go
steal cars. Someone told them. And

906
00:57:15,679 --> 00:57:17,960
I understand there's a lot of people
who are blaming TikTok. But as soon

907
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,960
as we found out that our son, our fourteen year old son had a

908
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,880
TikTok, oh, we he didn't
touch He didn't touch a phone for a

909
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:30,000
long time. After that, he
didn't have he didn't have internet or anything

910
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:31,480
for a long time because he knew
he was supposed to have that. So

911
00:57:31,519 --> 00:57:35,480
what are the other parents doing?
Because I know that my son, who's

912
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,639
for again, fourteen years old,
would never go to the garage and take

913
00:57:38,679 --> 00:57:42,920
his bike out to ride in the
streets, let alone, go steal in

914
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,400
ATV and ride it on the major
streets and do you know donuts and a

915
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:49,639
red light could be a lot of
fun. No, it would not be

916
00:57:49,639 --> 00:57:53,000
a lot of fun for him.
The kids of the Quintas and just seeing

917
00:57:53,039 --> 00:57:58,159
the dirt bikes in the Yeah.
Yeah, because Dewey and Lake have are

918
00:57:58,199 --> 00:58:00,280
one of the worst streets in the
in the city to drive down. Yeah,

919
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:05,239
I literally will go down to Saint
Paul. I'd rather drive down Saint

920
00:58:05,239 --> 00:58:07,519
Paul's Street than Lake Avenue. It's
a prettier street. Um stop it it

921
00:58:07,599 --> 00:58:13,840
is. But do you ever go
speak to like sometimes there's little motorcycle clubs

922
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:17,599
or sometimes groups of kids who have
I know, I know that they've been

923
00:58:17,719 --> 00:58:22,920
meeting up and racing at times and
doing all that. Joseo down and with

924
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,000
a megaphone and talk to these kids. Now, I'll let I'll let the

925
00:58:25,039 --> 00:58:30,199
others on city council who want to
have dirt parks within the city to for

926
00:58:30,239 --> 00:58:32,639
a TV and dirt like writers to
have. They don't want to ride into

927
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:38,159
dirt park. They want to go
out in the streets. Jesus. They

928
00:58:38,199 --> 00:58:40,840
want the YouTube videos. They want
you to feel like, oh, this

929
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:45,039
look like they want to off in
front of the girls. Yes, yeah,

930
00:58:45,159 --> 00:58:47,800
you got it. It's testosterone and
pussy. I'm sorry. As a

931
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:51,159
young man, that's what it is. I mean, what else is there

932
00:58:51,159 --> 00:58:52,840
at that at that age is nothing? I mean, and if you can

933
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:57,480
be the cool guy on that,
you're not gonna go to a dirt park

934
00:58:57,519 --> 00:59:00,639
and no, they've got them.
It's crazy and the suburbs not them far

935
00:59:00,679 --> 00:59:04,119
away. You can find them.
Yeah, you can go there legally.

936
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,920
No one's gonna mess with no.
And the thing is, in my district,

937
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,360
we actually had a street where these
kids were assembling and they were doing

938
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:14,719
drag races down the street. Nobody
messed with them because it was a big

939
00:59:14,719 --> 00:59:17,880
commercial district area. Nobody messed with
them. Yeah. It was during COVID

940
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:21,559
that they decided, well, we
see what's happening on the streets. We

941
00:59:21,559 --> 00:59:22,800
can just drink and smoke all night. No one's gonna mess with us.

942
00:59:23,119 --> 00:59:28,280
Let's bring the dirt bikes out there
as well. Right, but I'll get

943
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:30,199
in trouble and called a racist.
Why would you be called a racist?

944
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:36,039
I was for what I was.
That's exactly what happened. I don't understand

945
00:59:36,079 --> 00:59:39,119
because it's because it's urban kids,
as black kids that are riding the bikes.

946
00:59:39,159 --> 00:59:42,480
I would not say it's just them, because it happens on Clinton with

947
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:45,320
the latinos as well. Okay,
and as white kids as well coming into

948
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:49,480
the area because they know they can
just do them right. Yeah, so

949
00:59:49,599 --> 00:59:51,760
everyone wants to make it a racist
thing where they want to make it a

950
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:53,519
sexist thing where we want to They
want to label you as something bad in

951
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:59,199
and attack that entire lab. But
that's not attacking the issue. It's not

952
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,440
it's not how we are because by
the way, you know what, let

953
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:06,239
one of those people have, uh
what do we have? Happened today with

954
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:09,480
some gentlemen in the city running from
a truck or got hit by a truck

955
01:00:09,519 --> 01:00:13,760
and a baby has been critically injured. Oh yeah, that kid. Then

956
01:00:14,679 --> 01:00:16,519
I forgive me. I don't know
the story exactly. My only point is,

957
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:22,280
let somebody be walking with their family
down the street on a nice day

958
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:23,760
and all of a sudden this comes
up. What the thing is you don't

959
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:27,679
even know. You're in the car
and you're you know, you don't know

960
01:00:27,679 --> 01:00:30,800
where to go because all you hear
is the loud pipes, but you can't

961
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:35,800
tell which way to go. And
then it right, any acction that happens

962
01:00:36,159 --> 01:00:37,920
could be a deadly one. And
I just if you turn a little bit

963
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:42,599
and you might, you know,
piss somebody off. They they shot at

964
01:00:42,599 --> 01:00:45,920
a boat. This guy was dragging
behind him because he kind of went into

965
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:50,360
their lane. Like, we're not
gonna talk about people who are obviously don't

966
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:52,639
care about the laws. They obviously
do not care about I'm not calling I'm

967
01:00:52,639 --> 01:00:57,039
not gonna call them criminals by any
means, but they are breaking a law.

968
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:00,119
Well that's usually what criminals are.
Yeah, I definitely. You know,

969
01:01:00,119 --> 01:01:01,199
when you say something like that,
you automatically go to the worst.

970
01:01:01,639 --> 01:01:05,400
Um, So they are breaking the
law. All we're saying is, look,

971
01:01:06,519 --> 01:01:07,519
if you would have stayed over here, nobody would have messed with you.

972
01:01:07,519 --> 01:01:09,440
No one want to talk to you. But that's not what they want.

973
01:01:09,719 --> 01:01:13,000
They want to go to Cornhill or
do you want to go to Copsco?

974
01:01:13,119 --> 01:01:16,280
Sorry and brace up there. Well, those legislations that city council person

975
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:20,199
wants dirt bikes on the streets,
you can have them. As soon as

976
01:01:20,199 --> 01:01:22,519
I said that, they said,
nevermind, Yeah, never mind, we

977
01:01:22,519 --> 01:01:27,679
don't want it, right right,
sounds like fun. Oh it's a lot.

978
01:01:28,119 --> 01:01:32,159
Well it's it's a lot because are
we in a point now where where

979
01:01:32,159 --> 01:01:37,840
we it almost has become like a
shield. If I label myself as something

980
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:44,639
that I'm almost untouchable, do you
understand what I'm saying, like I think

981
01:01:44,639 --> 01:01:46,559
there's many. Let me be really, really really blunt. Have at it.

982
01:01:46,599 --> 01:01:51,840
If I say that I'm a minority
and I'm gay, and I can

983
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:53,920
say anything I want, You're protected
as hell. Okay, that's I just

984
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:58,440
wanted. And how dare you?
How dare you not you know, embrace

985
01:01:58,559 --> 01:02:01,199
my reality? Yeah? Well reality
as a Latino mail is. Yeah,

986
01:02:01,199 --> 01:02:05,679
but your reality. And I understand
that maybe you're marginalized and all that.

987
01:02:05,719 --> 01:02:07,360
Well, let's try to bring you
in. Let's try to make it better.

988
01:02:07,519 --> 01:02:10,800
But let's go with the issues,
not the labels. Well, I

989
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:15,119
remember when people wanted to be just
just accepted for who they were. Yeah,

990
01:02:15,159 --> 01:02:17,840
they wanted to be included. Yes, Now everybody wants to be in

991
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:22,079
their own little special box. And
then society has to wrap themselves around that.

992
01:02:22,119 --> 01:02:24,199
And it's like, well, no, I don't care about what you

993
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:27,280
do in your bedroom. Yeah,
I really do not care. Well,

994
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,960
the fact that you have to declare
your preferences when you walk in the door

995
01:02:30,159 --> 01:02:32,599
is a little backwards. Where are
we right? Where are we with that?

996
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:37,119
I do not care? No,
I hear you? Yeah? Interesting,

997
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:42,239
So the key of boys, So
we agree on that. I think

998
01:02:42,239 --> 01:02:45,800
we do I think most people do. What was the other issue that we

999
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:50,039
we touched on for a moment,
the lawsuits, We touched on the school

1000
01:02:50,119 --> 01:02:54,719
district. We touched on how amazing
shelat beaches, how beautiful the houses and

1001
01:02:55,519 --> 01:02:59,079
people would are. All right,
we'll take a moment. You got,

1002
01:02:59,239 --> 01:03:00,480
you got a little bit of time. Absolutely, I'll talk all day.

1003
01:03:00,519 --> 01:03:04,519
All right, What did you want
to say about the public Marijuana's terrible too?

1004
01:03:05,039 --> 01:03:08,119
Oh okay, okay, we'll talk
about you mentioned it off the top.

1005
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:12,119
One of the things he used to
do. We get Doug Phillips,

1006
01:03:12,159 --> 01:03:15,639
Doug Phelips to lose one hundred and
fifteen pounds. He wrestles on the show

1007
01:03:16,719 --> 01:03:20,559
one on one match. I love
Doug, but I think he might lose.

1008
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,159
Jose looks like, you know,
he's he's got all. He's got

1009
01:03:23,159 --> 01:03:25,559
a lot of frustration. He's got
to get out. He's stealing a lot.

1010
01:03:25,639 --> 01:03:30,480
He steal fourteen year old kid in
addition to an eighteen year old and

1011
01:03:30,599 --> 01:03:34,440
an eighteen year old. Yeah,
all right, there you go. I

1012
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:40,000
go to Bourbon with that. Yeah, iron smoke. The internationally claimed New

1013
01:03:40,039 --> 01:03:44,719
York State Farm Distillery is right here
in Fairport. It's a really unique fun

1014
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,559
place you can tour or just unwind
with a delicious craft cocktail made with the

1015
01:03:47,559 --> 01:03:52,000
incredible Iron Smoke Whiskey. Tours are
given only Thursday through Sunday and you can

1016
01:03:52,039 --> 01:03:54,519
wrap one up with a flight of
some of the best whiskey to ever pass

1017
01:03:54,599 --> 01:03:59,639
your lip. And that's not just
me saying that Iron Smoke has been named

1018
01:03:59,639 --> 01:04:02,840
by four ch In magazine as one
of the ten best bourbons outside of Kentucky.

1019
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:08,960
They said that Ironsmoke Distillery smokes its
grains over applewood before using them in

1020
01:04:09,119 --> 01:04:12,880
distillation. The process results in a
bourbon that doesn't have a sweet, syrupy

1021
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:16,039
notes expected from the category. So
if you're kind of new to bourbons and

1022
01:04:16,079 --> 01:04:19,639
things, you should really try this
one and one of the ten best outside

1023
01:04:19,639 --> 01:04:25,159
of Kentucky. Now they have live

1064
01:07:29,079 --> 01:07:38,719
Jose, Oh my god, it's
so loud. It's complaints one arm out

1065
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:43,000
the window. And Gordon Lightfoot.
You don't know Gordon Lightfoot. I've never

1066
01:07:43,039 --> 01:07:45,280
heard that name ever, never,
ever never? Might you know the song?

1067
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:50,519
Cannot say that Gordon Lightfoot passed away
eighty four years old. That went

1068
01:07:50,599 --> 01:07:56,360
darker, good, that went dark
It's pretty, it's pretty song. This

1069
01:07:56,400 --> 01:08:04,519
is a good song for song.
Yeah, take a rock guy with a

1070
01:08:04,519 --> 01:08:08,800
fire. Yeah, oh man,
say you know how to live there,

1071
01:08:09,039 --> 01:08:11,719
dude. I love fires. I
love making a little fire in the backyard.

1072
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,760
Do you uh, do you own
property outside of your own home?

1073
01:08:15,159 --> 01:08:15,880
I did? I did a flip. That was it, You did a

1074
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:19,520
flip. I'm too afraid to have
any kind of long term rental, even

1075
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:23,319
short term rental these days, you'd
never know. Why is that? Because

1076
01:08:23,359 --> 01:08:28,520
people will rent it out for parties? Okay, and enough squat. Well

1077
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:33,000
so thirteen Wham did a story and
I only found it because of Rochester Reddit.

1078
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:38,079
And do you go on Rochester Reddit? No? Why not? I

1079
01:08:38,199 --> 01:08:43,239
do not go down to it.
I do not the Twitter. The only

1080
01:08:43,279 --> 01:08:45,520
reason I do a little bit is
because I want to sort of see how

1081
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:49,159
people are thinking on certain subjects.
I think you get a very one sided

1082
01:08:49,199 --> 01:08:51,880
view of it. I think sometimes
you do. I feel like Reddit's a

1083
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:57,159
little more balanced. People seem to
call each other out in the comments that

1084
01:08:57,199 --> 01:09:00,960
I've read. I like to go
into the comments Twitter. I'll agree Twitter.

1085
01:09:00,039 --> 01:09:03,880
There are times where to me,
it's turned into some Jerry Springer show.

1086
01:09:04,119 --> 01:09:08,279
Yes, it's a vacuum, almost
no value to that. But I

1087
01:09:08,359 --> 01:09:11,279
like it for the news stuff.
I always feel like if I'm going to

1088
01:09:11,359 --> 01:09:13,920
get news quickly, I get it
on Twitter, right. I mean,

1089
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:17,119
that's the way I see it.
I got a TikTok for new stuff.

1090
01:09:17,119 --> 01:09:19,960
Oh yeah really, Oh yeah,
news that you don't hear about. Yeah,

1091
01:09:20,039 --> 01:09:23,640
regular news. Okay, I got
lost stuff from my podcast on there.

1092
01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:27,920
So in the Rochester Reddit stuff they
were talking about that. I saw

1093
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:31,439
this story about basically squatters. So
I went to thirteen Wham and we'll listen

1094
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:33,960
to a little bit of this and
see what you think about it. It

1095
01:09:34,039 --> 01:09:39,359
is a different kind of housing crisis
in the city of Rochester. Landlowder says

1096
01:09:39,399 --> 01:09:42,760
he hasn't collected rent from one of
his properties in over a year, but

1097
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:45,880
he hasn't been able to evict the
so called tenants due to eviction laws.

1098
01:09:46,279 --> 01:09:51,760
Here's thirteen whams Chase Hall. These
stacks of papers in folders all eviction cases.

1099
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:58,399
It's been difficult to say the least
procedurally as well as as substantively.

1100
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:01,640
What are those folders contain? A
case brought against those living at four sixty

1101
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:05,600
one Goodman Street. The owner of
the property says he hasn't collected rent and

1102
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:12,600
over a year now. It seems
right, that seems crazy. It's it's

1103
01:10:13,159 --> 01:10:15,760
obscene, right, ridiculous. So
you're paying on a place and most people

1104
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:18,720
are doing it to sort of have
it pay for itself. You rent it

1105
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:21,399
out, you keep the maintenance on
it. Hopefully you make it a little

1106
01:10:21,399 --> 01:10:24,720
bit of profit. But right,
you know, give something to your child

1107
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:28,000
when they get older. You got
it right, yellow generational wealth. Hopefully

1108
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:31,399
retire because who can rely on a
social don't have the leads. They're not

1109
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:36,359
tenants but their occupants. John Knaka
is the lawyer representing the property owner.

1110
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:42,680
He says those living at the home
on Goodman are considered holdover tenants the legislature.

1111
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:45,640
Then, pat do you know Knack? I knew that. I knew

1112
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:53,720
both their voices immediately and Chase how
a law which basically says that a tenant

1113
01:10:53,920 --> 01:11:00,159
can allow someone in or people in
if that's what they choose to do and

1114
01:11:00,279 --> 01:11:04,039
they become occupants. No, because
says even if the individuals living out the

1115
01:11:04,119 --> 01:11:09,159
property don't pay rent, the owner
can't just kick them. Now they're entitled

1116
01:11:09,159 --> 01:11:13,920
to notice of an eviction proceeding,
whether it's for non payment or hold over.

1117
01:11:14,279 --> 01:11:17,880
That seems crazy. You couldn't go
into a store and occupy it.

1118
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:24,439
Imagine it just sounds doesn't it sound
crazy? It's an upside down world right

1119
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:27,399
now. It is literally an upside
down world where you can own a property

1120
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:30,960
and you can't tell someone to leave. That's that's what it comes down to.

1121
01:11:30,119 --> 01:11:33,239
Yeah, you own a property,
you're providing a resource. You're saying,

1122
01:11:33,239 --> 01:11:35,319
hey, I want to provide this
house for you to rent from me.

1123
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:38,680
Here's a contract, we're going to
sign it. You agree to pay

1124
01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:41,840
me, I agree to take care
of this house. When it's like big

1125
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:45,239
issues, right, yes, and
then the greatest thing about renting, Yeah,

1126
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:46,960
but none of this ship is your
problem really yeah? And then the

1127
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:50,319
government comes in puts their heavy thumb
on this and says, uh, COVID's

1128
01:11:50,359 --> 01:11:53,239
here, so you, as a
rent or, do not need to pay.

1129
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:55,399
And then tell us the landlord,
you still have to pay everything,

1130
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:59,439
right, your mortgage, your RGNE
water bill, you still have to pay

1131
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:02,159
everything, and your taxes even though
you haven't received a single thing. And

1132
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:05,680
also we're going to pay for the
renter to stay there. But they have

1133
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:10,720
to fill out this paperwork here.
Not you as a landlord a person that

1134
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:14,720
owns the house, You as a
renter have to fill this out and sign

1135
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:17,079
it. And then if the landlord
agrees to it, they can't evict you

1136
01:12:17,159 --> 01:12:24,640
for at least one year what world
do we live in When you can say

1137
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:26,800
I haven't paid rent in a year, the government's going to go ahead and

1138
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:29,359
pay it. And then on top
of that, you can't evict me for

1139
01:12:29,359 --> 01:12:32,239
another year even if I don't pay
it. That sounds socialistic, dude.

1140
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:40,079
They have no obligation to identify themselves, so nor do they have an obligation

1141
01:12:40,119 --> 01:12:44,840
to identify themselves when they first move
in. Right, the law imposes the

1142
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,479
burden on the landlord try and figure
out who these people are by name.

1143
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:51,239
Some say, well, why can't
he just lock them now? Naka says

1144
01:12:51,399 --> 01:12:57,800
landlords can't not without an eviction because
if that happens, you know, the

1145
01:12:58,239 --> 01:13:01,399
tenant or a as it intore an
occupant can come in and say, hey,

1146
01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:04,760
I'm an occupant. I haven't been
notified, there's been no eviction,

1147
01:13:05,119 --> 01:13:10,960
I live here, and the police
will require the landlord to change the locks.

1148
01:13:11,079 --> 01:13:15,199
In Rochester, Chase Howell thirteen,
way of news. Now, keep

1149
01:13:15,199 --> 01:13:17,119
in mind what you heard that the
residence at four sixty one good Minstreet.

1150
01:13:17,119 --> 01:13:21,920
We're supposed to be in court today
foreign eviction hearing, but they never showed

1151
01:13:23,039 --> 01:13:26,279
up. Right, we will keep
tabs on this cage and bring you updates

1152
01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:29,560
as they become available. Now,
if they don't show up, are they

1153
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:32,119
can you kick him out? Then
eted I if you can't come to court

1154
01:13:32,319 --> 01:13:35,039
right, they can then get it
pushed for another thirty days, okay,

1155
01:13:35,119 --> 01:13:40,079
and then they have the opportunity to
bring in a government paid lawyer, yeah,

1156
01:13:40,199 --> 01:13:45,039
to defend them. I do think
like having access to adequate housing,

1157
01:13:45,199 --> 01:13:48,319
something that's affordable and is okay.
But I also think you got to have

1158
01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:51,479
a little bit of necessary. But
I think you have to have a little

1159
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:56,479
bit of pride in yourself. And
I really am a big believer at least

1160
01:13:56,479 --> 01:14:00,920
in this country, that people will
meet you halfway if you go halfway.

1161
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:05,439
This is going halfway. This is
no man, This is you know someone

1162
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:11,119
that wrote so here are some comments
from the reddit just to let you hear.

1163
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:14,560
I have someone at work who bought
a house that used to be rental,

1164
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:16,239
and after they closed on the house, it took them almost two years

1165
01:14:16,239 --> 01:14:21,319
to get the occupants out while still
paying a mortgage and getting nothing from the

1166
01:14:21,359 --> 01:14:26,880
occupants. It's a horror story.
Somebody else writes, this nation is sick

1167
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:30,960
about housing in general, very sick. People game the systems, game the

1168
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:36,479
system excuse me, squatters occupants because
the system is screwed up. Landlords do

1169
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:41,840
hane his stuff and saber rattle as
if tenants were their enemies and not their

1170
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:45,840
customers. This is a six six
situation, and people suffer and die unhomed

1171
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:50,159
in the streets of our city while
others make obscene fortunes because of it.

1172
01:14:50,239 --> 01:14:54,880
So you're kind of seeing two sides
there, and I'm sure there are somewhere

1173
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:58,279
they're saber rattling and a really shitty
landlord. I would not. I mean,

1174
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:01,600
there's a term slumlord for reasons.
Right right, they're awful, but

1175
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:05,600
that doesn't mean everybody is. And
no, that's the tough part. And

1176
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:09,840
right now it's getting worse because they're
trying to push for good cause eviction,

1177
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:15,159
which means that you can only kick
this person out if they don't pay rent.

1178
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:17,800
Well, we can't do that now, yeah, we can't do that

1179
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,960
now. Where they're saying, well, people are getting evicted for calling for

1180
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:26,920
too many issues. The issue here
is that we can't get the wrong people

1181
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:30,239
out. So if someone's selling drugs
out of their apartment, they can't even

1182
01:15:30,239 --> 01:15:33,000
if the police come, that person
can say, well that's not me selling

1183
01:15:33,079 --> 01:15:36,479
drugs and I was just I wasn't
convicted of it. I was, it

1184
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:40,159
was alleged. I still have to
go to court, right, Well,

1185
01:15:40,199 --> 01:15:43,560
then why can't we kick them out? Oh it's well, it's not that

1186
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:46,640
person, it's their boyfriend. Yeah, there's always a caveat for people.

1187
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:49,760
The thing is about the city.
People always find a way, even with

1188
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:53,479
the scooters, they find a way
to steal the scooters and make it their

1189
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:56,119
own scooters. Like, they always
find a way to do the wrong thing

1190
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:58,920
when it should be much easier to
find a way to do the right thing.

1191
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:01,560
Yeah, so fun that way,
right, But the squatter issue is

1192
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:05,119
a huge problem in the city.
And it's not just a squatter issue.

1193
01:16:05,239 --> 01:16:10,760
It's the abandoned homes issue. It's
the people who are decided it's cheaper not

1194
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:13,600
to pay the taxes and just let
the city take the property. And then

1195
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:15,960
that house turns into a prostitute house, turns into a drug then maybe it

1196
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:18,640
catches on fire, and then it
catches the houses next to it on fire.

1197
01:16:19,119 --> 01:16:25,960
Like, there's such an huge issue
in the city with abandoned homes because

1198
01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:29,159
this city is meant for three hundred
thousand people. Yes, we only have

1199
01:16:29,159 --> 01:16:31,359
two hundred ten two hundred fifteen thousand
people. So what they're trying to do

1200
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:34,359
is trying to build new housing when
we have a housing stock that we could

1201
01:16:34,399 --> 01:16:38,800
just take care of, just renovate
it and help people buy the house and

1202
01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:42,359
give them grant money and say,
just fix this house for us, get

1203
01:16:42,399 --> 01:16:44,680
it back on tax rolls, and
you'll be a first time homeer and we're

1204
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:48,359
gonna hook you up. I am
big fan of things like Habitat for Humanity.

1205
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:54,239
Yeah, but to your point,
I was watching some stuff and I

1206
01:16:54,359 --> 01:17:00,640
wonder, I just think about this. We're seeing buildings, brick and mortar

1207
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:05,479
buildings with nothing in them anymore.
Right, they're talking about the cinema and

1208
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:10,279
Henrietta. I think it's the regal
cinema. What's going to happen to it?

1209
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:13,640
It sounds like things aren't going I'm
just reading the headline there the bed

1210
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:16,840
bath and beyond these things. What
happens to these places that you know,

1211
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:21,359
slowly they'd just become empty shells.
Now it doesn't seem to be so much

1212
01:17:21,359 --> 01:17:24,920
in the city, but I don't
I don't know, but we do have

1213
01:17:25,119 --> 01:17:28,960
this which is much worse because it's
residential and it's where people live and lay

1214
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:32,720
their head and sleep. And even
there, you know, you gotta somebody

1215
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:38,399
who's selling drugs out of a house. People are shooting into homes wrong homes,

1216
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:41,880
right, I mean, or homes
that are shared. Maybe you gotta

1217
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:44,920
split a you know, a duplex, and so all of a sudden a

1218
01:17:45,039 --> 01:17:46,720
bullet comes to one. I mean, boy, it's a shit show,

1219
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:48,880
it really is. And you brought
up a good point. We can we

1220
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:51,760
can convert a lot of these buildings
in the city, especially like let's say

1221
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:56,359
Lyle Avenue Tent City. Yeah,
we are getting a developer in there.

1222
01:17:56,399 --> 01:17:59,840
They are going to put a ton
of money into this place. They're talking

1223
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:03,600
multimillions of dollars into ten City just
to rehab it. Well, they need

1224
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:09,359
help because it doesn't bring back the
revenues. They're not going to make as

1225
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:12,560
much money. They might lose money
if they only put their money into it.

1226
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:15,560
And they're gonna have to pay the
loan as they're renovating. Well,

1227
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:17,960
they're coming to the government says that
help us out. Don't don't force us

1228
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:21,079
to pay taxes for one year.
Let the renovations go. Why when we

1229
01:18:21,119 --> 01:18:26,199
finish with the renovations, then we'll
start paying taxes and then you'll start making

1230
01:18:26,199 --> 01:18:29,079
your money back. And then we'll
have people on city council who say,

1231
01:18:29,119 --> 01:18:31,279
well, we don't want to give
any kind of tax breaks to any developers.

1232
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:34,399
Well, who's gonna who's gonna put
the tens of million dollars into a

1233
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:39,479
place like ten City to develop it? Then we all want to we all

1234
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:43,199
want to help people within our city
to build themselves up. Absolutely, I'm

1235
01:18:43,239 --> 01:18:45,800
with it, I'm for it,
But it's one of those it's that's the

1236
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:51,359
issue with these individual homes that a
person can't buy two three houses have squatters

1237
01:18:51,359 --> 01:18:57,279
in all of them now, are
now completely devoid of any kind of income,

1238
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:02,199
are now out of pocket and dying
with their finances. Essentially, they

1239
01:19:02,319 --> 01:19:06,279
now can't build themselves up to buy
those properties where they can renovate them,

1240
01:19:06,279 --> 01:19:09,439
where they can put the big money
into them. Right, we have to

1241
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:12,439
rely on these big developers to come
in and kind of save the day.

1242
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:15,000
So there has to be a middle
ground. We have to help people that

1243
01:19:15,079 --> 01:19:17,760
want to live in a city.
We have to help people that want to

1244
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:23,000
renovate these houses. We have to
have developers who want to renovate these huge

1245
01:19:23,199 --> 01:19:27,600
apartment buildings or buildings that can be
converted into apartments and help them out as

1246
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:30,760
well. It takes so many different
options and the only positive are the only

1247
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:33,720
outcome I can see that can help. That is a kind of a public

1248
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:39,560
finance industry. It's not available in
a city right now. But if we

1249
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:43,359
work with a smaller bank and say
we have this text money, we want

1250
01:19:43,399 --> 01:19:46,840
to put it into this bank,
and we want this reinvested in the community.

1251
01:19:47,199 --> 01:19:49,920
We want you to put this towards
the businesses and people that want to

1252
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:54,640
buy houses and maybe they want to
buy a house for our twenty In terms

1253
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:59,199
of loans or grants, loans and
grants disseminates people and disseminate it out to

1254
01:19:59,279 --> 01:20:01,640
people. Right, you make a
little bit of money, but so and

1255
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:06,479
I would say people applying for a
loan or a grant are gonna have a

1256
01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:11,680
little more hustle and some what do
we call it sweat equity right into it

1257
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:15,159
something that it's gonna I want this
to work. I'm gonna do this.

1258
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:18,039
It's the betterment of the community.
And when you say things like you're you're

1259
01:20:18,079 --> 01:20:24,439
a disruptor, man, no,
I really do I think and I say

1260
01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:27,279
that sort of tongue in cheek,
But I feel like you're a disruptor and

1261
01:20:27,359 --> 01:20:31,000
you sort of go against the grain
of what's easy, and no, it

1262
01:20:31,039 --> 01:20:34,159
has to be hard because you're gonna
you're gonna love it that much more.

1263
01:20:34,239 --> 01:20:38,399
Nothing in life that's been easy is
worth it. Yeah, I mean,

1264
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:42,119
I'm a big believer in I always
say self esteem. Right, if you

1265
01:20:42,119 --> 01:20:45,840
could help somebody get to that wine, like any one of us, you've

1266
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:48,039
done a diet and it sucked,
and you're going, but all of a

1267
01:20:48,039 --> 01:20:51,119
sudden you lost five and then he
lost ten, and now you're down fifteen

1268
01:20:51,119 --> 01:20:55,840
pounds and now you're motivated. Right
now, Now that momentum's going. You

1269
01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:58,479
know, you go to the gym, right, you start lifting and maybe

1270
01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:00,800
you're not lifting a lot, and
you keep going every day and a little

1271
01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:02,000
by little by little, and the
next thing, you know, the momentum's

1272
01:21:02,039 --> 01:21:05,760
going. And that I really believe
you can help people win, get them,

1273
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:10,000
help them get to that wind,
that first win, that first win,

1274
01:21:10,359 --> 01:21:13,560
and it's almost like the wind in
the sails and everything goes. I

1275
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:15,079
think that with kids, I think
that with people in life. I think

1276
01:21:15,079 --> 01:21:18,079
that with that Here, I mean, look, I left radio, came

1277
01:21:18,159 --> 01:21:21,960
here We started at my kitchen table, taking this and going going right.

1278
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:26,520
But once the wind gets in the
sails and you start to feel it yourself,

1279
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:30,560
the momentum takes over. And I
wish you could just do that in

1280
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:32,680
the city because the city of Rochester
has such a great, rich history.

1281
01:21:33,079 --> 01:21:36,159
You know, I'm a I have
this theory about Rochester as a city,

1282
01:21:36,279 --> 01:21:40,560
and I think it probably benefits the
suburbs more than it does the city itself.

1283
01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:43,520
But I have said many many times, as the city goes, so

1284
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:46,560
go to the suburbs. But I
think Georgie Eastman, good or bad,

1285
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:50,399
whatever you want to think about them, brought brilliant, brilliant minds here.

1286
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:56,520
They developed some of the most innovative
things, you know, the VCR.

1287
01:21:56,600 --> 01:22:00,960
And I had a neighbor of mine
who had a PhD in flow. He

1288
01:22:00,079 --> 01:22:02,920
was all about ink and the way
it flowed, and he would do experiments

1289
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:06,000
in his oven and stuff. So
you get all these brilliant people. This

1290
01:22:06,079 --> 01:22:10,479
is not a very transient community.
Most people come here and they stay here.

1291
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:14,960
Most of the guys could have been
a Steve Jobs type, but they

1292
01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:16,960
didn't want to. They wanted the
security of a job, and so they

1293
01:22:17,039 --> 01:22:23,359
sold basically anything they patent was owned
by Kodak. Right, That's why you

1294
01:22:23,399 --> 01:22:26,279
know the digital camera and all these
things got sold off to other things,

1295
01:22:26,359 --> 01:22:29,560
but they were invented by the brilliant
minds here. Those brilliant minds stayed here,

1296
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:33,920
they reproduced and that's why you have
a lot of really pockets of this

1297
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:39,880
area that have big companies, brilliant
minds, all that right here that I

1298
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:45,079
think wants this city to succeed,
but there seems to be a barrier to

1299
01:22:45,119 --> 01:22:46,520
do it. And I don't know
what that is. It's some mentality.

1300
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:49,680
It really comes out some mentality because
we say that we need a city with

1301
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:54,279
a lot of jobs available for not
just people who want to get into you

1302
01:22:54,319 --> 01:22:57,560
know, a job market, but
also people who want to manage. There's

1303
01:22:57,560 --> 01:23:00,720
a shit son of jobs out there
available right now. Yeah. And there's

1304
01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:04,199
an industries that I have loved,
beats in my district. Who would have

1305
01:23:04,199 --> 01:23:09,039
thought African beat company would be that
huge. Yeah. You know, we

1306
01:23:09,119 --> 01:23:14,640
have a company that's um taking the
batteries from vehicles and yes, recycling them

1307
01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:19,359
was life cycle. Yeah, and
it's it's so needed, it is so

1308
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:24,319
needed. I have such an issue
with the electric car in the fact that

1309
01:23:24,399 --> 01:23:28,439
I get it. I've driven them. They're fantastic. I see the appeal

1310
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:30,840
you have one. No, okay, but whatno, I don't. I

1311
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:35,479
guess there's a truck out there that
eats more. But but I but what

1312
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:40,279
do you do with those batteries?
Right? They're awful, They're horrible,

1313
01:23:40,359 --> 01:23:44,760
they're we're not talking about that.
It's not a good situation. But life

1314
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:47,600
cycle. We're doing it here in
the city, right, Yes, and

1315
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:50,319
then and you're right, those are
things that need to be spotlighted more.

1316
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:55,920
Absolutely. Yeah, there's there's a
ton of businesses in specifically my district about

1317
01:23:56,039 --> 01:24:00,000
I have about the sesame street that
have These are the people in your neighborhoo.

1318
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:02,720
I see a video man with you
going these are the people in your

1319
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:06,880
neighborhood and spotlighting marketing idea. You
know what I'm saying. It's like something

1320
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:10,720
like that that these are the people
in your neighborhood. These are the people

1321
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:13,159
in your city that are making a
tick. And if you want a job,

know you want to work, yes,

1323
01:24:15,079 --> 01:24:17,600
come on, yeah, you're ready. Right. The problem is we

1324
01:24:17,720 --> 01:24:23,640
started a financial education, financial empowerment
center right with a city. So if

1325

with your taxes, they'll help you with

1327
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:33,359
building. See, it's the meeting
the halfway that I said earlier, right,

1328
01:24:33,399 --> 01:24:38,439
So the opera stuff is there to
meet halfway. How do we get

1329
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:41,920
people to say this is the right
way? And then on top of it,

1330
01:24:42,279 --> 01:24:45,760
it's there exactly? Well that too, that too, people don't know

1331
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:47,720
it's there. And then after that, where is the financial empowerment at that

1332
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:50,239
point? Look, having good credit, it's fantastic. You need good credit.

1333
01:24:50,399 --> 01:24:53,960
Having a saving account, it's great. What does that mean in a

1334
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:57,079
long scirt, in a long scheme, what does that mean for your financial

1335
01:24:57,119 --> 01:25:00,920
empowerments for your family, for your
kids? You know, there's no next

1336
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:02,840
step. It's like we're putting band
aids all over a place in the city.

1337
01:25:03,159 --> 01:25:06,560
All the city is is band aids. We are not stopping the bleeding.

1338
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:11,720
We are not stopping the bleeding.
And that's the issue. Yeah,

1339
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:15,000
that's it. But it seems like
there's so much bleeding. Where do you

1340
01:25:15,039 --> 01:25:18,479
focus first? Start? Where do
you focus first? And I think that

1341
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:21,760
like city school district. Yeah,
when you hit that city, school district

1342
01:25:23,039 --> 01:25:25,960
is everything. But even there,
what do you do because you have guys

1343
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:29,119
who have to asked me what's well? Yeah, because well here's the thing.

1344
01:25:29,239 --> 01:25:31,079
Take it over. I'm thinking,
like the city takes over. Take

1345
01:25:32,119 --> 01:25:35,880
city council, city, not the
mayor, city council, because the mayor

1346
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:39,119
is one person. Yes, a
problem with the city is we are,

1347
01:25:39,159 --> 01:25:43,199
in my opinion, we are a
strong mayor city. So the mayor guides

1348
01:25:43,359 --> 01:25:45,319
everything. Yeah, well, the
police chief serves at the pleasure exactly.

1349
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:48,159
Yeah. All commissioners answer to the
mayor. So when it comes to city

1350
01:25:48,199 --> 01:25:51,720
council, I'm a district councilman.
I represent one fourth of the entire city.

1351
01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:54,520
And if I sit there and say, hey, I need some help

1352
01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:57,960
over here with police, like okay, we'll see if we can provide something

1353
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:00,840
for you. What do you mean, I'm telling you what the issues are

1354
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:04,800
we need? We need to answer
that, and we don't have we don't

1355
01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:10,520
have the power as city council members
the mayor. Now is that unique to

1356
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:14,039
Rochester or I mean, look,
these are problems that we've been talking about

1357
01:26:14,039 --> 01:26:17,640
today, whether it be the key
of boys, or school issues or guns

1358
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:23,960
or any that are plaguing metropolitan areas
across the country. You know, you

1359
01:26:24,039 --> 01:26:26,880
just go ninety miles in the other
Like you said, metropolitan areas in city

1360
01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:29,199
because everyone says it's happening all across
the country. No, No, it's

1361
01:26:29,279 --> 01:26:31,880
metropolitan areas around there's certain city,
Yes it is, and and so.

1362
01:26:32,159 --> 01:26:36,520
But you look in Buffalo. Do
they have the same kind of city structure?

1363
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:40,000
They don't. Now now I shouldn't
say that. Sorry, they're not

1364
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:44,159
having the same issues we're having either, because we can go ahead over there

1365
01:26:44,159 --> 01:26:46,199
and ask them, is it a
strong mayor is it a city that controls

1366
01:26:46,279 --> 01:26:49,680
us? The city school, by
the way, didn't win the primary he

1367
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:54,199
wanted with our freaking write in.
That's amazing. Yeah, that's but that's

1368
01:26:54,279 --> 01:26:57,279
the power of the people, that
is right, that's getting people out and

1369
01:26:57,319 --> 01:27:00,000
going what do we really want here? Well, and that's another issue,

1370
01:27:00,039 --> 01:27:01,319
having the cities that the power of
the people are. People don't have a

1371
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:05,600
voice anymore. Are We have a
huge plethora of Latinos from all over the

1372
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:10,600
world and none of them vote.
I don't see them and none of them

1373
01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:15,600
vote. So you get the biggest
district that is actually growing for Latinos is

1374
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:18,800
the Charlotte area. Is Northwest District. And I'm sitting there saying, we

1375
01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:23,359
don't have anything for them, nothing
for them to help them to. They

1376
01:27:23,359 --> 01:27:26,399
came from Mexico, they came from
Cuba, they came from Puerto Rico during

1377
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:30,359
Hurricane Maria. And what are we
what are we doing now? Like we

1378
01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:35,000
have amazing people who want to work
hard, hard, But when we start

1379
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:38,159
them off with hey, come here, and then we're gonna give you a

1380
01:27:38,159 --> 01:27:41,840
monthly stipend every month just because you're
in New York, just because you don't

1381
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:44,640
have a job, just because we
need to help you. Here's twelve hundred

1382
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:46,359
dollars a month to live here.
Yeah, why would they ever go doing

1383
01:27:46,399 --> 01:27:51,520
things? Let me ask you,
how do you okay that you just answered

1384
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:55,279
it? You don't like this.
I don't like a lot of things.

1385
01:27:55,359 --> 01:27:59,760
Okay, what I mean? What
helping somebody, but help helping somebody get

1386
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:01,760
on their feet. Huh Okay.
It's one thing. It's one thing.

1387
01:28:02,159 --> 01:28:06,399
But I would always equate it to
if you give a teenager a car versus

1388
01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:10,439
they earn the money to buy it
themselves, right, you know, exactly

1389
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:13,359
a kid a car and look at
it in a year and get and have

1390
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:15,800
a kid buy a car that they
earn the money for and look at it

1391
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:19,960
in a year and tell me which
one's which guarantee you can exactly. Yeah,

1392
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:24,880
And that's the thing, is that
we need to empower the people and

1393
01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:27,520
then but also give them something to
look forward to. What is that they're

1394
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:30,359
getting empowered for? Because what is
there in the city to look forward to?

1395
01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:34,479
Honestly, how the hell are you
going to be mayor how is that

1396
01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:36,520
going to happen? People don't want
to hear this shit. It makes too

1397
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:40,680
much sense. There are people I
do want to hear it. There's a

1398
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:42,439
lot of people I want to hear
it. Get fun of you, but

1399
01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:44,920
no, No, But it's a
it's a great question because it's going to

1400
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:47,159
go against everything that is. The
democratic part is to be very blunt.

1401
01:28:47,199 --> 01:28:51,600
Well, it feels like almost as
though and maybe I'm wrong, but you

1402
01:28:51,640 --> 01:28:56,239
know, as we're talking, and
maybe I am being I don't know,

1403
01:28:56,560 --> 01:29:00,520
skewed in one way. You're very
persuasive. No, I almost as though

1404
01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:02,479
it's a big machine. Oh yeah, do you know what I'm saying.

1405
01:29:02,479 --> 01:29:04,920
It's like a big machine where we
get to, you know, kind of

1406
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:09,000
protect ourselves within this bubble and talk
a whole bunch of shit, but do

1407
01:29:09,039 --> 01:29:13,159
nothing, and that's not fixing anything. And then you come along and you're

1408
01:29:13,199 --> 01:29:15,680
like poking holes in that bubble and
and I don't think people like that.

1409
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:18,000
Well it's not just me. You
have your own podcast now as well,

1410
01:29:18,039 --> 01:29:21,640
which is fantastic because now we have
the citizen voice. Yeah, now we

1411
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:26,760
have people speaking up and saying you
don't have to listen to the mainstream news

1412
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:29,760
media of this, because what it
is is that there's a certain group who

1413
01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:31,800
has controlled the area. And I'm
not trying to be conspiratory or at all.

1414
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:34,479
There's a certain group that kind of
controls the area. They tend to

1415
01:29:34,520 --> 01:29:40,119
be Democrat, and then the media
follows that. But man, you're Democrat,

1416
01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:44,640
right are you? But that's a
problem is that they will attack you

1417
01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:47,279
if you come from the opposite end, if you're a Republican or conservative,

1418
01:29:47,279 --> 01:29:51,600
they will attack you. How about
we go away I know that labeling things

1419
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:55,359
now, right, we talked about
this, so the Social Justice school,

1420
01:29:55,359 --> 01:29:58,359
all that labeling, it's very popular. Yea, what if we took away

1421
01:29:58,399 --> 01:30:00,640
political labels and just said, be
fantastic, can we do that? Could

1422
01:30:00,640 --> 01:30:03,319
we strip that away? New York
took that away. You can't have a

1423
01:30:03,359 --> 01:30:08,239
third party in New York. I
know that's terrible. It is, that's

1424
01:30:08,319 --> 01:30:11,319
terrible because now you have to be
one or the other right. But but

1425
01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:14,199
you wish that you could almost strip
it away and go, here's what I

1426
01:30:14,319 --> 01:30:17,720
stand for. And I'm not gonna
be all read on this issue or all

1427
01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:21,279
blue on this issue, or I'm
gonna have maybe you know, straddle or

1428
01:30:21,279 --> 01:30:25,840
maybe we can find a common ground
right for things. And here's why.

1429
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:28,800
That's the thing, here's why because
I was raised this way, and I

1430
01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:31,680
know for a fact more Latinos were
raised in a more conservative way. I

1431
01:30:31,680 --> 01:30:35,800
was raised Republican, hardcore. Yeah. Like I was a Baptist churchgoer three

1432
01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:40,720
times a week, going to like
a second of Latino Baptists. Yeah yeah,

1433
01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:45,279
what happened to Catholic Penticosto is usually
what they are on here. My

1434
01:30:45,319 --> 01:30:48,239
mom married a white boy who is
a Baptist. There you go, that's

1435
01:30:48,279 --> 01:30:53,560
it, mom, you love it. I love it. You know.

1436
01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:57,079
Foreigner had a song called dirty White
Boy. They did. I don't know,

1437
01:30:57,119 --> 01:30:59,159
Luke Graham, it's just birthday.
He played that next day. Yeah,

1438
01:30:59,199 --> 01:31:02,600
we could uh interesting, very interesting, uh speaking in white people,

1439
01:31:03,199 --> 01:31:06,039
there's a problem like you think you
got problems in the city. I love

1440
01:31:06,079 --> 01:31:10,159
that interlude in Today. Yeah,
well there is. There's a real problem

1441
01:31:10,199 --> 01:31:13,399
that's happening with white folks lately,
that it's most middle aged white folks.

1442
01:31:13,399 --> 01:31:15,399
We'll get to that in just a
second. You won't believe this. They

1443
01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:17,479
had a white new balance. They're
not at a white Neue balance. I

1444
01:31:17,520 --> 01:31:21,000
call those grilling shoes. By the
way, if you're looking for a truck,

is no one better. I'm so thankful

1473
01:33:10,079 --> 01:33:13,479
for what he did for my son
in that courtroom. Defended him and truly

1474
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:15,159
cared about the outcome. He fought
from my son like he was family,

1475
01:33:15,399 --> 01:33:19,479
professional, kind, honest, the
absolute best. If you've been charged with

01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:49,640
Yeah, actually, you know what, that's a good idea to put

1505
01:35:49,640 --> 01:35:53,079
a little money in loose pockets?
Have you got to vice? Actually right,

1506
01:35:53,079 --> 01:35:55,319
it's not man at all. Now. I know it's not in sync,

1507
01:35:55,399 --> 01:35:57,399
but they were kind of a boy
man at one point. They were

1508
01:35:57,439 --> 01:36:00,119
all there. They were all there, right, it's instant hat some big

1509
01:36:00,199 --> 01:36:02,840
hits. You know who wrote one
of the biggest hits, Richard Marx.

1510
01:36:03,800 --> 01:36:09,560
You're familiar with Richard mark I bet
you d probably Well, now, what

1511
01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:12,800
year what years were you in high
school? Nineties? I was in nineties,

1512
01:36:12,880 --> 01:36:14,960
yes, yeah, so well,
growing up as a Baptist, I

1513
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:17,920
wasn't really allowed to listen to pop
culture, so I had like way to

1514
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:21,479
high school to listen to music.
Yeah, so I was only like oldies

1515
01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:25,720
ninety eight nine, yeah, yeah, yeah, so it was all like

1516
01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:29,800
fifties and sixties. Yeah, oh
god, that's funny. Well you have

1517
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:31,640
a good education and kind of what
was I think? So, but I'm

1518
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:35,439
like the decade before all the songs
you're playing, So it's like the sixty

1519
01:36:36,600 --> 01:36:41,199
safeties and six you put on the
Golden Ages, you know, a nighttime

1520
01:36:42,319 --> 01:36:45,199
what do you call those infomercials,
And I'm singing along to those things like

1521
01:36:45,199 --> 01:36:49,439
black and White and I'm loving that, And then you played all the good

1522
01:36:49,520 --> 01:36:53,439
rocking room music. I'm like,
oh, man, well that hit hims

1523
01:36:53,479 --> 01:36:56,960
or something. This, I promise
you was written by Richard Marks. That's

1524
01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:00,079
such a good song. Yeah,
he wrote that song. Um, and

1525
01:37:00,359 --> 01:37:03,600
I always thought Richard Marks is one
of the most talented writers in uh in

1526
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:08,319
music. Are you a big fan
of Justin Timberlake? I am, yeah,

1527
01:37:08,720 --> 01:37:11,239
kind of, like I always found
it impressive, Like I always found

1528
01:37:11,279 --> 01:37:15,359
him very impressive, funny, uh
personable, and whenever I see him on

1529
01:37:15,359 --> 01:37:16,840
talk shows and stuff, seems to
be friendly with this a pretty good actor

1530
01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:21,840
too. Loved him in two movies
Social Network. Huh Trouble with the Curve

1531
01:37:23,119 --> 01:37:25,119
with Clint Eastwood. Do you ever
see it? I never saw that one

1532
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:29,399
with the Curve. Yes, he's
a scout. Cliniast would just scout.

1533
01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:30,279
I think, I know he's talking
like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1534
01:37:30,279 --> 01:37:33,840
it's I thought he was great in
both those. Oh and he was

1535
01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:39,159
in French with Benefits. Yeah that
was kind of whacking. Yeah, well,

1536
01:37:39,199 --> 01:37:42,600
I was all right. I mean, yeah, that's beautiful. It's

1537
01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:45,960
your song right here, not my
song. Mirrors is my my my justin

1538
01:37:45,039 --> 01:37:47,760
Timberlakes song. But I'm a bigger
Michael Jackson fan. I'm a much bigger

1539
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:51,720
Michael Jackson fan. Oh you are
big time. I think Michael Jackson is

1540
01:37:51,720 --> 01:37:57,039
one of the most talented ever by
fire. You know, Um, can

1541
01:37:57,079 --> 01:38:01,680
you imagine being that popular any country
and everybody knows, you know. I

1542
01:38:01,720 --> 01:38:06,359
think that that level of fame is
addictive and also life altering and destroying.

1543
01:38:06,439 --> 01:38:11,680
Yeah, yeah, you've got to
almost go. You're almost gonna be a

1544
01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:15,399
little nuts by out everywhere you go, guess to be able to go,

1545
01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:16,560
right, it's on the five year
plan. We're getting there. Okay,

1546
01:38:16,640 --> 01:38:19,960
cool us, you got a plan, got a financial empowerment center. They'll

1547
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:24,520
help you get there. Now do
you do you help with the financial empowerment

1548
01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:27,920
center? No? I would,
uh? I would I help with like

1549
01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:31,039
a CCCS credit Consumer Counseling Centers of
Rochester. I worked with them before.

1550
01:38:31,239 --> 01:38:35,520
Okay, I'm on credit. I
said that there's a problem, um for

1551
01:38:35,520 --> 01:38:39,520
for I would. I was gonna
say dirty white boys, but and then

1552
01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:42,159
that that's kind of what it is. It's a problem in the suburbs.

1553
01:38:42,359 --> 01:38:45,560
Okay, Now, we've had a
story about this earlier this week. I

1554
01:38:45,560 --> 01:38:47,880
don't know that this has happened locally, but it certainly could. What's that

1555
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:54,279
problems on the golf course? We're
middle aged men are getting into fisticuffs.

1556
01:38:55,159 --> 01:38:59,640
We watched we watched a video of
like a group of guys. One guy

1557
01:38:59,680 --> 01:39:02,319
tackle one into a sand pit and
the other gets up on the green and

1558
01:39:03,159 --> 01:39:08,640
fighting and the bunker. Yeah,
no, no, no, this was

1559
01:39:08,680 --> 01:39:12,520
because no, these are middle aged
guys. Because the kid who's filming it,

1560
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:15,079
he says, quick, quick,
quick, it again will go viral

1561
01:39:15,359 --> 01:39:19,239
because these guys are fighting, but
they're forty five to fifty five years old.

1562
01:39:19,399 --> 01:39:23,439
And then listen to this and the
man we spoke to is dealing with

1563
01:39:23,720 --> 01:39:28,159
serious injuries. A doctor himself,
he says he could have died, and

1564
01:39:28,319 --> 01:39:33,880
all of this happening in this normally
quiet and safe community. Body camp videos

1565
01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:40,800
shows deputies arresting Eddie Orrabit on the
Harbor Hills golf course. Eddie Orbit by

1566
01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:47,359
the way, Dennis Dennis, who
advertises his light touch nas surprise that is

1567
01:39:47,399 --> 01:39:54,880
happening. The victim tells us this
is why sharing this photo of his brutal

1568
01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:58,159
injuries. I mean I nearly died. That's the thing that scared me.

1569
01:39:58,199 --> 01:40:02,399
And Joseph Sibak says he lost consciousness, has broken ribs, fractured cheek bones,

1570
01:40:02,560 --> 01:40:05,840
and had to get his ear stitch
together. And he says it all

1571
01:40:05,880 --> 01:40:10,920
started while he and his wife were
taking their regular walk around the neighborhood.

1572
01:40:10,960 --> 01:40:15,119
Briefly walking over the card path just
starts. Somebody screaming and swearing has coming

1573
01:40:15,199 --> 01:40:18,479
up really fast behind us. After
some arguing, Sivak says, the man

1574
01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:23,159
spat in his face, then hit
him both of his hands and with a

1575
01:40:23,279 --> 01:40:26,680
golf club, the deadly weapon.
And had he been struck just in the

1576
01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:29,479
right place, I mean, it
could have been much much worse, Sivak

1577
01:40:29,560 --> 01:40:32,439
says, even to what he had
always known to be a very safe neighborhood,

1578
01:40:32,640 --> 01:40:39,039
returning to his regular white on white
crime, that's what okay, went

1579
01:40:39,079 --> 01:40:43,319
Tiger's ex wife onal with the golf
club bashing things. So allegedly the deists

1580
01:40:43,319 --> 01:40:45,399
had his son with him, and
so no one really knows kind of what

1581
01:40:45,479 --> 01:40:50,800
happens. But the guy that's talking
to the camera looks to be over fifty

1582
01:40:50,880 --> 01:40:55,680
maybe fifty five, has a black
eye, has like caught some of his

1583
01:40:55,760 --> 01:41:00,520
ass, got his ass whoop.
Now here's my question. All men have

1584
01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:05,920
an ego. Masculinity is called into
question. What do we do now?

1585
01:41:06,159 --> 01:41:12,720
I get like, if your first
instinct is to hit in a situation,

1586
01:41:12,760 --> 01:41:15,079
I always think there's something wrong with
you. It's not appropriate. No,

1587
01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:21,279
but what does your wife say,
like you, she watched you get your

1588
01:41:21,279 --> 01:41:27,239
ass kicked, and I'm sure she
feels terrible. But privately, I'm just

1589
01:41:27,279 --> 01:41:30,920
wondering, you got divorce them.
You got divorce them immediately. Like I'm

1590
01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:33,479
not saying go out there and just
start fighting people, but if you get

1591
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:36,279
spat on and then you get your
ass whoops? Yeah, man, I

1592
01:41:36,319 --> 01:41:42,239
mean I'm sorry. I was going
she's gotta be secretly ashamed in some way,

1593
01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:46,199
but they didn't shows that she left
with the dentist's now been that son's

1594
01:41:46,279 --> 01:41:50,760
mom. But now what if you
didn't fight back? If you go,

1595
01:41:50,840 --> 01:41:54,119
look, this isn't the right answer. Hey, calm down, Calm down.

1596
01:41:54,319 --> 01:41:58,000
And even if you just took some
defensive moves in some way. But

1597
01:41:58,359 --> 01:42:01,920
I gotta tell you. I don't
know about you, but if I get

1598
01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:06,079
hit, like, my thing isn't
to retreat, I could get into a

1599
01:42:06,119 --> 01:42:11,239
blinding rage. That's the difference.
Like, you know, I boxed a

1600
01:42:11,239 --> 01:42:15,239
lot, so if getting a hit, if you get hit, it's like

1601
01:42:15,359 --> 01:42:17,439
I don't want to shy away.
Now I'm like, oh and here we

1602
01:42:17,479 --> 01:42:20,319
go. I'm too short, so
I automatically think you're trying to kill me.

1603
01:42:20,520 --> 01:42:23,680
Okay, so therefore I must kill
you first. Yeah, so that's

1604
01:42:23,680 --> 01:42:27,119
why I can't. I can't get
in a fight right and with my background

1605
01:42:27,159 --> 01:42:28,960
and wrestling, it's gonna take it
to the ground. I'm gonna beat you

1606
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:30,760
anyways. Yes, so I rather
does not, and so I back up.

1607
01:42:30,880 --> 01:42:32,920
You know, I say that,
dude, I don't want to we

1608
01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:36,079
don't need to go through this because
I'm thinking usually at this these ages that

1609
01:42:36,159 --> 01:42:40,640
these guys are, and knowing some
guys who play golf and stuff, a

1610
01:42:40,640 --> 01:42:43,840
lot of drinking can happen. A
lot of drinking can happen on the top.

1611
01:42:44,159 --> 01:42:46,039
My wife will probably watch this and
figure out that I haven't been playing

1612
01:42:46,039 --> 01:42:49,199
eighteen holes, only nine holes and
just getting drunk every hole. Sort of

1613
01:42:49,279 --> 01:42:55,720
walking path could be traumatic living here. It's really shattered, you know,

1614
01:42:56,199 --> 01:43:00,039
our world view of the neighborhood and
this this area us. It's gonna be

1615
01:43:00,119 --> 01:43:05,439
hard to game back any trust.
This wasn't the only sounds like a yeah.

1616
01:43:05,479 --> 01:43:08,600
I was just gonna say, you
sound like a giant. Plus yeah,

1617

a cry about it? All right, take your ass whip and walk now.

1619
01:43:15,079 --> 01:43:17,279
Unless he's looking to get some kind
of payday out of it. You

pockets. So you don't talk that.

Okay, Well you'll be careful of that

1639
01:44:33,840 --> 01:44:36,439

golf to talk junk to the other team.

1640
01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:40,000
Yeah, Like I'll talk to my
buddy that I'm playing with but I'm

1641
01:44:40,039 --> 01:44:42,680

about pace of play, shut up and

1643
01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:50,239
gotta go home to my kids and
wife? Yeah, but they should know

1644
01:44:50,279 --> 01:44:54,399
to move over. I move over
and go ahead and play because I want

1645
01:44:54,399 --> 01:44:56,479
to take my time. I want
to be here all day. Yes,

1646
01:44:58,239 --> 01:45:01,720
well, look our seasons and run
or don't last to day? Right right?

1647
01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:04,319
We got a bonus a couple of
weeks ago. That's it. Yeah.

1648
01:45:04,359 --> 01:45:06,399
Even if it's nice, you go
to freaking Duran, it's gonna be

1649
01:45:06,439 --> 01:45:12,399
watered down. Yeah, underwater.
Yeah. One other things? Do any

1650
01:45:12,479 --> 01:45:15,319
do we miss anything that you would
like to mention at all? The if

1651
01:45:15,359 --> 01:45:20,000
it's okay to name drop my podcast
as well, politically correcting podcast with Josepo.

1652
01:45:20,039 --> 01:45:26,079
We're actually doing very well. I'm
afraid to get sponsors because of how

1653
01:45:26,199 --> 01:45:29,119
much junk we talk. I don't
say junk, I mean that it's me

1654
01:45:29,319 --> 01:45:31,800
myself. I got Lavelle, who's
a black man who's an independent, and

1655
01:45:31,840 --> 01:45:35,119
I've got Austin who's a we say, the raging liberal. He's also a

1656
01:45:35,119 --> 01:45:41,039
satanist and atheist. Okay, so
there's a dynamic conversation that's being happened between

1657
01:45:41,079 --> 01:45:44,000
a Latino, a black guy,
and a white guy and talks about politics

1658
01:45:44,039 --> 01:45:46,760
and social issues of the day and
what I want to bring to people.

1659
01:45:46,800 --> 01:45:50,039
And that's why I'm so happy you
had me on the show, is that

1660
01:45:50,079 --> 01:45:54,199
people can have a conversation about things
and you can disagree about it. Yes,

1661
01:45:54,479 --> 01:45:57,279
just listen to the conversation and have
a conversation, and then when you

1662
01:45:57,319 --> 01:46:00,199
have the facts, make a decision. At that point, I'm what's side.

1663
01:46:00,239 --> 01:46:02,159
I wouldn't even say side at this
point because it's so far less,

1664
01:46:02,199 --> 01:46:05,239
so far right, and most people
were right here. Yeah, they're most

1665
01:46:05,239 --> 01:46:09,079
people right here in the middle where
we just we may disagree on one way

1666
01:46:09,119 --> 01:46:10,920
or the other, but we're not
going to fight about it. We start

1667
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:14,359
to say, like, I really
think you need to governor govern excuse me,

1668
01:46:14,520 --> 01:46:17,000
you've become a governor, but you
need to kind of you know,

1669
01:46:17,479 --> 01:46:19,960
rule. Some things need to be
made from the middle. I would you

1670
01:46:20,039 --> 01:46:24,720
think that we need laws all that
need to come from the middle. I

1671
01:46:24,760 --> 01:46:27,600
agree, And so we're trying to
bring that out into the forefront. And

1672
01:46:27,640 --> 01:46:30,119
I say we I'm trying to be
vociferous about it because I've seen what the

1673
01:46:30,159 --> 01:46:34,439
news has done to me where they've
they've provided a one narrative about me.

1674
01:46:34,439 --> 01:46:38,479
And I'm sitting there saying, even
when I do a good interview with them,

1675
01:46:38,520 --> 01:46:40,960
they'll cut it up to nothing.
And I'm saying, that's not what

1676
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:43,199
I said my wife every time she's
like, why do you do an interview?

1677
01:46:43,199 --> 01:46:45,239
Then I'm because I have to.
I have to be out in the

1678
01:46:45,279 --> 01:46:47,760
public eye so people will see that
it's okay to be a middle of the

1679
01:46:47,760 --> 01:46:50,199
ground guy. Yeah, you know, it's okay to lean one way or

1680
01:46:50,279 --> 01:46:54,640
the other way on any given conversation, because right now it just seems like

1681
01:46:54,760 --> 01:46:57,920
New York State is just one side
and one sided only, so everyone is

1682
01:46:58,319 --> 01:47:00,920
escaping to Florida. Well, when
everybody escapes, where we're gonna be left

1683
01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:03,880
with. We need to have people
willing to fight and say let's meet in

1684
01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:08,720
the middle. Yeah, right,
that's all I want. Okay, I

1685
01:47:09,239 --> 01:47:12,960
like it, and I hope you're
a future mayor. I hope that it

1686
01:47:13,039 --> 01:47:15,319
will have to happen. I hope
you follow through that it's a big undertaking.

1687
01:47:15,439 --> 01:47:18,119
Oh, it's a huge undertaking.
Yeah, it's gonna it's gonna be

1688
01:47:18,199 --> 01:47:21,760
a pretty penny So yes, Yeah, maybe you'll get people behind it.

1689
01:47:24,039 --> 01:47:27,880
They are already there. It's it's
there's a lot of groundwork being already done.

1690
01:47:27,920 --> 01:47:30,920
It when it's ready, it's it's
gonna burst out. Yeah good.

1691
01:47:30,920 --> 01:47:32,600
I hope you still come back on
the podcast and talk to the little people.

1692
01:47:34,279 --> 01:47:36,079
You let me know. I'm always
ready to talk. All right.

I do is I help business. I

1695
01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:49,479
connect businesses to either money to help
them grow or finance to buy out another

1696
01:47:49,479 --> 01:47:54,720
company, or I help mentor them
to grow from a self entrepreneur to then

1697
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:58,239

background I have. I know all about

1700
01:48:02,920 --> 01:48:05,399
as well. On the political end, and if you want to grow as

1701
01:48:05,399 --> 01:48:09,800
a business or maybe you want to
sell. I'm buying businesses as well.

1702
01:48:10,720 --> 01:48:13,920
I have a landscaping company, plowing
company, proper maintenance company, a cleaning

1703
01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:18,359
company. I'm getting into a hardscaping
company as well that does excavating because there's

1704
01:48:18,359 --> 01:48:21,079
gonna be a lot of work that's
gonna be done in the city in the

1705
01:48:21,119 --> 01:48:24,800
next couple of years, and someone's
gotta make money on it, right,

1706
01:48:24,800 --> 01:48:27,439
I know, I hear you.
And as Latino, Yeah, I'm telling

1707
01:48:27,439 --> 01:48:30,600
you, they're throwing money if you
are, if you are Latino or black,

1708
01:48:30,680 --> 01:48:32,960
watching this or listening to this,
okay, So like minority business,

1709
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:39,960
they're throwing money at you if you
identify as okay, if you identify as

1710
01:48:40,319 --> 01:48:45,439
a personal color okay, because they
can't confirm or deny. Right, I'm

1711
01:48:45,439 --> 01:48:48,600
not saying to do that. I
would suggest you'd be very careful not to

1712
01:48:49,039 --> 01:48:53,000
if it could blow up your face. However, I hear you, man,

1713

there. Did you see heifies as

1715
01:48:59,199 --> 01:49:00,119
like, look, this is what
you I just wanted. How am I

1716
01:49:00,119 --> 01:49:02,960
supposed to confirm that? I don't
know. Yeah, it's crazy, but

1717
01:49:03,039 --> 01:49:05,279
that's what we need to do that. We need to show how crazy it

1718
01:49:05,279 --> 01:49:09,239
can be, how crazy it can
be. Yep, that is absolutely true,

1719
