00:06:53.000 I'll stand up there real quick.
00:07:21.000 Okay.
00:07:48.000 Yeah, it's still... I got it down a little bit lower to like F9.
00:07:51.000 It's pretty bright though.
00:07:53.000 I had it at 5 earlier, but... Well, and also the ISO is at like 800, so... Is that bad?
00:07:59.000 Well, for daylight, yeah, you don't want it up that high.
00:08:01.000 One is low for daylight.
00:08:02.000 Can you turn it down?
00:08:03.000 Mm-hmm.
00:08:03.000 Okay.
00:08:04.000 Yeah, so you can just adjust it from there.
00:08:06.000 Thank you.
00:10:46.000 Go Green! Go Green! Go Green! Go Green! Go Green!
00:10:52.000 Actually you could probably bump your shutter speed at.
00:10:55.000 Uh, looks like... Yeah, here, let me, uh, bump that up for you.
00:11:01.000 Oh, yeah, it's 1 over 75.
00:11:04.000 Yeah, I just changed it.
00:11:06.000 So you should be at 190, we'll do 190, because that's... And then, uh, then you can open up the iris more, if you think it looks, it looks better.
00:11:19.000 Can I open it up a little bit?
00:11:21.000 Yeah, that looks good.

00:23:24.000 I like getting snagged by the demon dog and ghost monster.
00:25:44.000 We're leaving and we are making a big push.
00:25:58.000 We've got some of the best numbers in the country and we want to see it.
00:26:05.000 Just early night nursing homes trying to control the spread of COVID-19 after a number of their
00:26:10.000 residents have been diagnosed with the virus. It happened only after the facility accepted
00:26:15.000 two dozen COVID positive patients from area hospitals. A decision that baffled residents
00:26:21.000 and their loved ones. The decision followed an executive order by the governor. From the beginning
00:26:26.000 the governor was allowing COVID positive patients to be placed in the same nursing home as COVID
00:26:31.000 negative patients.
00:26:32.000 But many of the legislators disagreed and wanted to work to try and change the policy.
00:26:37.000 Cross-contamination between patients and health care providers is a significant risk.
00:26:43.000 The bill introduced Wednesday would make it illegal to knowingly house anyone with the virus in nursing homes.
00:26:50.000 And it has bipartisan support.
00:26:52.000 Both lawmakers brought up the horrifying abuse of well-being safe haven problems in Detroit, where 20-year-old Jaden Hayden brutally beat his elderly roommate, a resident of Westwood Nursing Home.
00:27:04.000 Hayden was living there temporarily after being diagnosed with the coronavirus.
00:27:08.000 But the governor now has vetoed it.
00:27:10.000 Governor Whitmer is still standing by her policy of placing COVID-positive patients in nursing homes.
00:27:16.000 with the new COVID vaccine.
00:27:18.000 This is the one nursing home that has taken a COVID-19 patient
00:27:21.000 that they didn't think that they were prepared to care for.
00:27:24.000 Across the state, nursing homes are not prepared with enough PPE.
00:27:28.000 I'd like to hear what Dana was relied on to pick nursing homes 1.00
00:27:32.000 to bring in COVID patients to infect those that were infected, 0.99
00:27:37.000 to kill those loved ones. 0.99
00:27:39.000 Hello, Michigan! I love this thing. Clap for me. 1.00
00:28:00.000 I love this state! 1.00
00:28:00.000 Clap for it, you stupid bastards! 1.00
00:28:07.000 I'd like to take a second to thank the Lansing PD and Michigan State Police for keeping us all safe today. 1.00
00:28:13.000 And one thing I'd like to reiterate, I know I've talked about this online, please, everyone here, whether you're
00:28:26.000 here in agreement or protest, we ask that you leave this place clear that you found it, be safe, respectful.
00:28:31.000 We don't need more rioters in the area! 0.62
00:28:39.000 Alright, so some of the things I'm about to talk with you about today might sound repetitive.
00:28:43.000 I know a lot of you may know this information.
00:28:46.000 Unfortunately, a lot of Americans don't.
00:28:50.000 Not that Michigan should be the most wonderful state in the Union.
00:28:54.000 I believe it can be.
00:29:01.000 And unfortunately, it's been brought to its knees Through systemic policy that we've also been misled about.
00:29:08.000 Can I take a second, by the way?
00:29:09.000 I wasn't planning on this this morning, but the President, obviously, you've just heard, diagnosed with COVID.
00:29:14.000 We could take like five seconds just to say a prayer for the guy.
00:29:16.000 That's okay?
00:29:18.000 Lord, we pray for President Trump, his family, for a swift recovery, that he'd be one of those people with lighter symptoms, he'd come through this.
00:29:25.000 And you know what?
00:29:25.000 We also pray for Governor Whitmer, even though we may not agree with everything that she says, does.
00:29:31.000 I pray for everyone involved, safe, swift recovery, and for the recovery of our nation.
00:29:35.000 Speaking of people who trespass against us... In Jesus' name!
00:29:42.000 In Jesus' name, thank you.
00:29:46.000 Good guy, God.
00:29:49.000 Now I was born in Michigan.
00:29:51.000 I was born in Michigan.
00:29:53.000 I was born in Michigan.
00:29:57.000 I was raised in Canada a lot of my life, sorry.
00:30:02.000 This is the reason I'm here today.
00:30:04.000 My wife was raised in Michigan.
00:30:05.000 When I got married and chose a place to settle down, for six years we lived in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
00:30:14.000 Her parents were raised in Michigan.
00:30:17.000 My parents We're raised in Michigan.
00:30:20.000 My grandparents were born and raised in Michigan, and my wife's grandparents were born and raised in Michigan.
00:30:25.000 As a matter of fact, my grandfather-in-law, Fred, he not only was a bombardier in World War II, he was a professor at a Michigan college, and he was a mayor, city supervisor of Bloomfield Township.
00:30:41.000 And we lost him not that long ago, but he is survived by his Wonderful wife, my grandma Ruth.
00:30:50.000 What a thing we can bring up here.
00:30:51.000 This is my grandma Ruth.
00:30:52.000 That is, a week ago, two days before her 97th birthday.
00:31:01.000 And as you can see, she's out and about telling COVID to go forticate itself with a wire brush.
00:31:08.000 Unfortunately for my grandma, she is spry. 1.00
00:31:10.000 She's with it, but was recently a victim of attempted murder by this woman, Governor Gretchen Whitmer. 0.91
00:31:21.000 All right, okay, I figured that one would go over well.
00:31:23.000 So, something that I want to be clear about as we move through today, this is not really in my wheelhouse, it's not what I do, this isn't really a show.
00:31:31.000 Hopefully it arms all of you with information, and we can demand information from your elected officials, and hopefully the rest of the country will pay attention.
00:31:40.000 Let me say in no uncertain terms, Governor Whitmer, her policies have directly led to untold deaths of Michigan seniors, thousands, and you have been at worst Deliberately misled, and at best, deliberately misled about those numbers.
00:31:58.000 And that's why we're going to be calling upon the governor of Michigan here, regardless of where you line up, to release the Whitmer death toll.
00:32:05.000 That's what we're hearing out there tonight.
00:32:11.000 And you know, I know there's some people here in protest, and here's something, I know, okay, we're telling a few jokes, we're having fun at the governor's expense, which isn't that hard.
00:32:18.000 Here's the deal.
00:32:19.000 We often hear this term common ground.
00:32:22.000 But you know what?
00:32:23.000 I don't care if you're far left or far right.
00:32:25.000 If you're to the right of Attila the Hun, if you're to the left of Stalin, you're somewhere in between.
00:32:29.000 The only common ground that we can find, it's not found on being a centrist.
00:32:33.000 It's not found in centrism.
00:32:34.000 It's found in truth.
00:32:36.000 And so I do hope that even if you may not agree with some of the conclusions today, whether you think that this state should be locked down in perpetuity, or the country should be locked down in perpetuity, or you think that people should be free to make their own decisions and to continue making their livelihoods, it all starts with having the truth available.
00:32:54.000 And Michigan has not had that.
00:32:56.000 It's time for the truth to be revealed.
00:32:58.000 That's all for now.
00:33:00.000 I'm sorry I have these slides with me because I don't usually, I don't usually prompt through a slide.
00:33:07.000 It's not really my thing.
00:33:08.000 I wish I could pull a Joe Biden and just have him in front of me, going by rope.
00:33:13.000 Something else, too, I think is really important for people who are paying attention.
00:33:16.000 There's been a narrative set out there that if you think that the perpetual lockdown, which have led to deaths, which have led to increased mental illness, which have led to countless businesses being shut down, that you don't care about protecting our citizens.
00:33:30.000 No, no, listen.
00:33:31.000 I will give the benefit to those I disagree with that they haven't given to us.
00:33:36.000 I do believe that everybody wants to protect our most vulnerable.
00:33:41.000 And I think it's time that people understand that those on the right, that those in agreement with our president, have been trying for months, systemically, to protect our most vulnerable.
00:33:52.000 Let me ask you this.
00:33:53.000 If we're talking about protecting our most vulnerable, namely our seniors and our sick, how does a perpetual lockdown help that?
00:34:02.000 We are going about in the exact wrong way.
00:34:05.000 We lock everyone down.
00:34:06.000 Is it safer?
00:34:07.000 Any safer.
00:34:08.000 Three months from now for 90-year-old Grandma Ruth, 97-year-old Grandma Ruth to go back out there? 1.00
00:34:14.000 You don't quarantine the healthy and shut down businesses.
00:34:19.000 You protect the sick.
00:34:21.000 And you protect those who cannot protect themselves.
00:34:28.000 And that's the exact opposite of what we've done in Michigan.
00:34:31.000 What I am going to present is irrefutable.
00:34:34.000 You may not agree with the conclusions.
00:34:36.000 We have filed many petitions for freedom of information under the Freedom of Information Act.
00:34:41.000 Good for this governor.
00:34:42.000 There is no accountability during the pandemic, and it has just been punted by five days and then ten days.
00:34:47.000 So there are some numbers that we don't have access to, but that's where you guys will come in at the end of this.
00:34:50.000 We'll come back to that.
00:34:51.000 So let me bring your attention first to the policy here in Michigan from Governor Whitmer.
00:34:57.000 This is something important because everyone here, remember, we're trying to flatten the curve.
00:35:02.000 I understand that, and I agree with that.
00:35:03.000 And by the way, if you guys can wear a mask today, I encourage you to do so.
00:35:07.000 Practice social distancing as you feel safe.
00:35:09.000 Great.
00:35:10.000 We're not here to make a political statement on that.
00:35:12.000 We are here to look at the data, the facts, the science that have either been hidden or flat-out denied by Governor Whitmer.
00:35:19.000 Now, let me substantiate that.
00:35:21.000 Governor Whitmer, when the outbreak hit, She refused to transport COVID patients out of nursing homes to protect seniors.
00:35:28.000 As a matter of fact, as far as I know, and it's tough to get this information, Michigan is the only state... Hey, look, a drone.
00:35:35.000 Hopefully, it's not a leftover from the Obama era.
00:35:38.000 Is it?
00:35:38.000 Is anyone ducking cover?
00:35:40.000 From China! 0.51
00:35:42.000 From China, girl!
00:35:44.000 Michigan is the only state that I know of, people talk about this in New York, and I know that Michiganders, when
00:35:52.000 you hear people nationally talking about New York and their nursing home policy, you go, oh gosh, you think you have it
00:35:58.000 bad.
00:35:58.000 Michigan not only sent sick COVID patients into nursing homes, and you would think they were re-admitting people who were living in these senior living homes, Michigan sent young sick patients into senior living homes, like a buzzsaw.
00:36:16.000 Knowing what we know about the virus, knowing what we know about who is most vulnerable, you tell me how that's a scientific approach to send a 20-year-old with COVID.
00:36:27.000 Now, this happened when nursing homes told Governor Whitmer that they were not ready, but she refused to listen to the advice of the known medical professionals.
00:36:36.000 And when I say medical professionals, I don't mean scientists just sitting on a board, I mean people actually treating and seeing patients and the consequences of this government's actions.
00:36:45.000 So Melissa Samuel is the president and CEO of the Healthcare Association of Michigan, and she made it clear that they were not equipped to deal with this.
00:36:53.000 Which brings me to the next point here.
00:36:55.000 Many of you know this.
00:36:56.000 The veto from Governor Whitmer.
00:36:59.000 Show of hands, who knows about the veto?
00:37:04.000 A lot of shouts.
00:37:08.000 Hey look, FedEx shirt right there.
00:37:09.000 We appreciate it.
00:37:10.000 Maybe you guys could take care of the votes.
00:37:12.000 We're voting for Bush!
00:37:14.000 We're voting for McNeil!
00:37:16.000 We're voting for McNeil!
00:37:19.000 Can you do next day shipping?
00:37:20.000 I don't know.
00:37:24.000 So, senior living facilities in Michigan faced such a disaster that there was a bipartisan bill presented in Michigan.
00:37:33.000 And this is important, folks, and everyone watching at home, because this is the microcosm of the United States.
00:37:38.000 With a bipartisan bill, both Republicans and Democrats, it caps your state House and Senate.
00:37:43.000 There were three basic demands.
00:37:45.000 And I would say that these are sensible demands.
00:37:48.000 Others would say that they are Nazi demands.
00:37:49.000 I don't know, I'll let you be the judge.
00:37:52.000 Don't send sick patients, COVID patients, into nursing homes.
00:37:52.000 Three demands.
00:37:58.000 Don't send the mentally ill into nursing homes.
00:38:01.000 And if you're going to send people into nursing homes who've had COVID, make sure they are quarantined in a separate facility.
00:38:07.000 Bipartisan bill, Democrat-Republican support, made it through your state legislature, vetoed from your government.
00:38:17.000 Now, this is where it gets a little tricky because as we were traveling to the wonderful state of Michigan, we found out that Governor Whitmer changed the policy a little bit in private.
00:38:27.000 But what's interesting is the change isn't really a change.
00:38:31.000 If you look at her reasoning for having vetoed that bill, It's the exact same reasoning as to the official chamber of policy.
00:38:37.000 Let me read it for you.
00:38:38.000 When she vetoed the bill, she said the bill was based on the false premise that isolation units created with existing facilities are somehow insufficient to protect seniors.
00:38:48.000 Okay?
00:38:49.000 The new order says the new care and recovery centers must designate a distinct area for COVID-19 isolation They must have a designated wing or separate unit.
00:39:00.000 Well, hold on a second.
00:39:01.000 How has that changed?
00:39:02.000 You vetoed the bill because you said we already had it.
00:39:06.000 Just like anyone is a little bit odd?
00:39:10.000 Vetoing the bill was brought forward because medical professionals, science, you know, the folks we all deny apparently said, hey, hey, hey, hey, we need to protect seniors.
00:39:17.000 She said, you don't need to.
00:39:19.000 You guys are fine.
00:39:20.000 He's instituting a new order only after we have been behind the scenes sending requests for information that have either been denied or not responded to, to the exact same effect.
00:39:30.000 Which brings me to the next point here, the numbers.
00:39:35.000 Yes sir, real numbers.
00:39:37.000 I appreciate it.
00:39:37.000 And I love the headband.
00:39:39.000 I don't know whether to give you a hug or jazzercise.
00:39:46.000 So this is one thing.
00:39:47.000 We've been told, right?
00:39:48.000 How many people here have been accused of denying science if you say that you disagree with the lockdowns?
00:39:53.000 Now, how many people here have either had a business or know people who own businesses that have been irreparably damaged?
00:39:59.000 There you go.
00:40:00.000 Science deniers.
00:40:01.000 Okay.
00:40:02.000 So what's the correlation here as it relates to COVID and states?
00:40:06.000 Because Michigan has it pretty bad.
00:40:08.000 Well, you can look at this chart.
00:40:09.000 We have European countries as well as the United States, different states.
00:40:12.000 Lockdowns.
00:40:13.000 Did lockdowns help states?
00:40:14.000 No.
00:40:15.000 You can't argue that it helps states and you can't necessarily argue that it hurts states.
00:40:19.000 I'm not making that argument.
00:40:20.000 What about total population?
00:40:22.000 Is it only states with huge populations that were affected?
00:40:25.000 No.
00:40:26.000 Is it as the media has been saying now when they shift and pivot?
00:40:28.000 Population density?
00:40:30.000 No, it's not population density.
00:40:31.000 How about geography?
00:40:33.000 This is where we started digging for numbers and I tell you what, I thought I had it wrong.
00:40:37.000 I had to have it confirmed by two, three, four doctors and people who worked In running numbers.
00:40:43.000 So, we can look at states with similar population densities and states that either neighbor or touch Michigan.
00:40:50.000 We can look at Wisconsin, we can look at Ohio, we can look at Illinois, we can look at Indiana, we can look... I think I already said Ohio, but I guess we say them twice.
00:40:56.000 I don't know.
00:40:58.000 Alright, stop it.
00:40:59.000 They're not here.
00:41:00.000 John Kasich's not going to show up running through the crowd.
00:41:06.000 Now these states, although they have similar geographic locations and very similar population densities, do not have anywhere near the death rates.
00:41:15.000 Even more, the states that have the directly comparable population densities, states like North Carolina, states like Tennessee, not even close.
00:41:24.000 So why is Michigan an outlier?
00:41:26.000 Well, this is where we'll bring you up to the next slide, and that is the verifiable cover-up.
00:41:35.000 I'm not a fan of cover-ups either.
00:41:37.000 I agree with your boo.
00:41:40.000 So, this is where it gets really scary.
00:41:44.000 To the point where you have to either assume incompetence to the level that someone is unfit for office, or the kind of misleading, I hate to use the word evil, but covering up these numbers when people are suffering and dying.
00:41:58.000 Either way, it's unacceptable.
00:42:00.000 How many people here have heard the reported number That in Michigan, 34% of all your deaths, only 34% come from senior living homes.
00:42:09.000 Show of hands.
00:42:11.000 That number is a lie.
00:42:13.000 And no one else has been able to dig into this as we have before, and we're still waiting on some information from the governor, which you'll be filing to when we're done with this.
00:42:22.000 You look at it and you say, 34%!
00:42:24.000 Well, you know what, that seems to track with other states.
00:42:26.000 Let's look at the other states nearby.
00:42:27.000 Again, those states that were mentioned, Ohio, Wisconsin.
00:42:29.000 Yeah, those states all have, give or take, a fatality rate of the total deaths coming from senior living homes between 28 to 36%, depending on the numbers you use.
00:42:40.000 So that would seem to check out.
00:42:40.000 Okay.
00:42:42.000 Until you take one thing into consideration.
00:42:44.000 This was fine print that I don't believe I read at MLive.
00:42:48.000 Michigan's tracking, and it's the only state with these comparable states, doesn't include assisted living facilities, adult foster care facilities, or homes for the aged.
00:43:02.000 So let me be clear, all of these other states here, their total deaths are 34% when you include assisted living facilities, nursing homes, adult foster facilities, and homes for the aged.
00:43:14.000 In Michigan, it's 34% coming exclusively from some nursing homes.
00:43:19.000 You know how many those are?
00:43:22.000 1,967 deaths coming from about 440.
00:43:26.000 About 447 nursing homes.
00:43:29.000 Now here's the challenge.
00:43:31.000 Assisted living facilities are not licensed in Michigan, okay?
00:43:35.000 And I don't want to get nerdy here, but these numbers really matter and they scared me when I read them.
00:43:39.000 Assisted living facilities are not licensed in Michigan, but they are used in those total numbers from other states, so we would need them for an apples-to-apples comparison.
00:43:46.000 However, there is a website where you can go right now to verify which nursing homes, adult foster homes, and homes for the aged are licensed by the state.
00:43:56.000 So the total number, 34% of all deaths in Michigan come from 440-something nursing homes.
00:44:03.000 How many currently active licensed facilities are there in Michigan?
00:44:08.000 Over 10 times that amount, folks!
00:44:11.000 There are over 4,400 currently active licensed homes.
00:44:19.000 So let's keep that in the context.
00:44:21.000 All those states that we're talking about, they're including numbers from thousands of locations and homes.
00:44:25.000 For some reason, in Michigan, it's only including one-tenth of that.
00:44:29.000 Science, right?
00:44:30.000 All you little science deniers out there, anyone want to buy that all of these homes, nine-tenths of them, 90% have had no deaths?
00:44:38.000 Not one?
00:44:40.000 And that brings us to another slide here, the results.
00:44:44.000 So we've had to do some digging and some extrapolating, right?
00:44:46.000 When you don't have a governor who's transparent enough to give you the numbers, you have to try and guess.
00:44:51.000 The average age of death for someone in Michigan with COVID is 77 years old, 75 on the low end.
00:44:59.000 Over 70% of all deaths from COVID in Michigan come from 70 years old or older.
00:45:08.000 That tracks with the average age of people in nursing homes when they start going in, folks.
00:45:13.000 This makes it clear why we need these numbers.
00:45:16.000 Now, like I said, we can't assume anything at this point, but we also can't make an educated decision, can we, as to how we need to move forward as a state and a country.
00:45:26.000 If we don't have the numbers from these other three, four thousand facilities, how can we know if a lockdown, which has decimated Michigan businesses, is good for this state and this country?
00:45:40.000 Release the numbers.
00:45:41.000 Can we hear that?
00:45:41.000 Let's release the numbers.
00:45:43.000 Release the numbers!
00:45:57.000 Now, Governor Whitmer, when she vetoed the bill before and then secretly changed it more recently, said, well, hold on a second.
00:46:03.000 We don't need any of these rules that would prevent sending young COVID-infected patients into nursing homes because these nursing homes can handle it.
00:46:10.000 All of these assisted living facility homes, these senior homes.
00:46:13.000 I don't want to say just nursing homes.
00:46:14.000 She said they can handle it.
00:46:17.000 Well, they said we can't.
00:46:18.000 Science doesn't matter in this instance.
00:46:20.000 She said, no, no, they have the oversight to handle it.
00:46:23.000 Well, how can you make that claim when, if you have children here, I would ask that they maybe don't watch this next portion because it is disturbing.
00:46:29.000 How can you claim that we have systems in place to protect the most vulnerable when you don't have the kind of
00:46:35.000 oversight necessary to stop this from happening?
00:46:39.000 How can you claim that we have systems in place to protect the most vulnerable when you don't have the kind of
00:46:42.000 oversight necessary to stop this from happening?
00:46:45.000 How can you claim that we have systems in place to protect the most vulnerable when you don't have the kind of
00:46:49.000 oversight necessary to stop this from happening?
00:46:52.000 How can you claim that we have systems in place to protect the most vulnerable when you don't have the kind of
00:46:56.000 oversight necessary to stop this from happening?
00:46:59.000 How can you claim that we have systems in place to protect the most vulnerable when you don't have the kind of
00:47:03.000 oversight necessary to stop this from happening?
00:47:06.000 How can you claim that we have systems in place to protect the most vulnerable when you don't have the kind of
00:47:10.000 oversight necessary to stop this from happening?
00:47:13.000 How can you claim that we have systems in place to protect the most vulnerable when you don't have the kind of
00:47:17.000 oversight necessary to stop this from happening?
00:47:20.000 We're not there yet, folks.
00:47:30.000 I'm not here to call for anyone to be locked up.
00:47:32.000 I'm here to call for the truth as a starting point.
00:47:36.000 Can we all agree on the truth to start off?
00:47:38.000 Any left folks?
00:47:39.000 Right folks?
00:47:41.000 Don't we deserve access to the numbers and the truth?
00:47:46.000 That man, Norman Bledsoe, was beaten ultimately into a depression where he starved himself to death by a man named Jaden Hayden.
00:47:55.000 That was the man beating him.
00:47:56.000 Anyone here know?
00:47:58.000 Were they ever in the same room together?
00:48:01.000 COVID.
00:48:03.000 People across the country, people who are watching right now on the live stream, many folks don't know that.
00:48:07.000 They think, oh, something went wrong.
00:48:08.000 No, no.
00:48:09.000 That man was placed a known dangerous offender with a senior citizen because they have COVID.
00:48:19.000 And we're supposed to believe That these homes were equipped and wanted to bring in more sick patients.
00:48:24.000 Well, who could have possibly seen that coming?
00:48:27.000 Says the governor.
00:48:27.000 Who could have seen it coming?
00:48:28.000 Well, let me tell you, not only the medical professionals, not only those seeing patients, but the boy's dad, who actually said this.
00:48:35.000 He never should have been housed, quarantined with the victim that he eventually assaulted.
00:48:39.000 That should have never happened.
00:48:41.000 Someone dropped the ball.
00:48:43.000 I do think someone dropped the ball.
00:48:44.000 And that someone is Governor Whitmer.
00:48:45.000 It's time to hold her accountable, folks.
00:48:55.000 So now listen, I want to go back here really quickly before I go to what everyone here
00:48:59.000 A call to action to Grandma Ruth.
00:49:01.000 Grandma Ruth is 97 years old and she's a firecracker. 1.00
00:49:03.000 I love her. 0.99
00:49:03.000 She talks mad crap when we play Rummikub. 0.99
00:49:05.000 She makes up songs about how bad I am. 0.99
00:49:09.000 She accuses me of having a learning disability because she's from that generation where it's just okay. 1.00
00:49:18.000 But I was with Grandma Ruth, 97 years old, with the house that her husband built with his bare hands.
00:49:25.000 That's a different generation, folks.
00:49:28.000 Could I build a house with my bare hands?
00:49:29.000 I mean, I could try.
00:49:30.000 I wouldn't go on the second floor.
00:49:31.000 The point is, I was sitting outside of her house, talking with her through a screen door.
00:49:38.000 And she might have let out a cuss word or two. 1.00
00:49:40.000 She was a little frustrated, but she would be appalled to know that I repeated here.
00:49:44.000 And she said, I want to hug my granddaughter. 0.99
00:49:49.000 She said, who the hell are you? 0.99
00:49:50.000 She said, who the hell are you? 0.99
00:49:50.000 She said, people talk about how it's, live your day like it's its last, right? 0.99
00:49:54.000 Live this every day as though you're dying.
00:49:56.000 Live it as though you don't have another day, right?
00:49:59.000 And by the way, that's usually horrible advice, because you should plan for tomorrow, especially if you're young.
00:50:03.000 You should make sure that you're taking care of those folks that you love.
00:50:06.000 But when you are at that age, 97, think about this, four, five, six months, Four, five, six months where she can't spend time with the people she loves most.
00:50:16.000 And she said, hey, I'm 97.
00:50:18.000 I'm willing to make that trade-off if it means that I get to hold my grandchildren and kiss my granddaughters.
00:50:26.000 And who the hell are you to tell me that I can't?
00:50:29.000 Now, I know that is not popular.
00:50:32.000 It'll fall on deaf ears to those who support euthanasia.
00:50:37.000 But whether you agree with that opinion or not, all of this starts with something very simple, and we don't have it.
00:50:44.000 And that is demanding the truth, knowing the numbers, because we know what we have is a lie.
00:50:50.000 So what can we do?
00:50:51.000 Right now, folks, we've made it very easy.
00:50:52.000 If you go to louderwithcrowder.com, that's our website, one click, you can submit your very own request of information under the Freedom of Information Act, because she can't deny us all, okay?
00:51:04.000 That's a start!
00:51:06.000 And just because if I have to see one more yard sign in this wonderful state that thanks the governor for keeping them safe, we have distributed today thousands of signs that you can put up in your own yard to let everyone know where you line up.
00:51:24.000 And if you weren't able to get one today, again, on the website, we have made those files available as PDFs so you can print your own, give them out to friends, pass it on, pay it forward.
00:51:33.000 Let's make sure that folks know what we're talking about.
00:51:35.000 Now, one other thing that you can do... Everyone, please, show me your phone.
00:51:39.000 Everyone here have a phone?
00:51:42.000 One guy's gonna bring out a flip.
00:51:46.000 Just a drug dealer with a track phone.
00:51:47.000 Okay.
00:51:50.000 Everyone here has a phone.
00:51:51.000 What I want you to do is tweet at Governor Whitmer.
00:51:55.000 Tweet at Governor Whitmer and use the hashtag WhitmerDeathToll.
00:51:58.000 Every single one of you, if you can right now on Facebook, on Twitter, on YouTube, forward it to everyone you can so that we get an answer from this governor.
00:52:06.000 We do not come with a sword.
00:52:08.000 We come with the power of the pen and the power of all our voices.
00:52:13.000 This is how change should come about in America.
00:52:15.000 This is how conservatives bring change in America.
00:52:19.000 And not a single Walgreens has to be burned to the ground.
00:52:26.000 And I've got to say, we do have to get going here.
00:52:28.000 I love this state so much.
00:52:30.000 I wish that I could be here 100% of the time.
00:52:32.000 It hasn't been the most business friendly, and your governor gives me the willies.
00:52:36.000 So, I spent a portion of my time here, but I look at a state that at one point was the epicenter, not only of the United States, but the world.
00:52:44.000 And I look at a state that surprised the hell out of me in the last election when I saw it get called red.
00:52:50.000 And I saw the media collectively soil themselves in fear.
00:53:02.000 Because they understood, as goes Michigan, so goes the rest of the country.
00:53:06.000 And Michigan, at one point, was the heartland of America.
00:53:10.000 I know that you folks are the heartland and the backbone of America.
00:53:13.000 You made your voices heard in the last election.
00:53:16.000 Right now we need to make our voices heard to protect the most vulnerable among us, because they have been systematically and proactively eradicated in this state and it has to stop and it starts with the
00:53:28.000 truth. I'll leave you with this.
00:53:30.000 Just recently, Governor Whitmer said, hey, this is all political theater and we don't
00:53:34.000 need to have independent quarantining centers because that wouldn't be scientific. But now
00:53:38.000 she's called for an investigation into our president for mishandling COVID.
00:53:43.000 Well, listen, folks, I say this, President Trump, if you are watching that I and the
00:53:51.000 people of Michigan all would like to say in unison, Governor Whitmer, you want to conduct
00:53:54.000 that investigation, Donald Trump for mishandling COVID.
00:53:57.000 All right, sweetheart.
00:53:58.000 You first!
00:53:59.000 Michigan, I love you.
00:54:00.000 God bless.

00:57:39.000 Okay, that's not my fault.
00:57:42.000 You are skinny! I know, I need to lose some weight.
00:57:47.000 I know, I need to eat more.
00:57:52.000 I'm too lazy to make food.
00:57:53.000 It's my fault.
00:57:54.000 Are those crowds gone?
00:57:56.000 I think so, yeah.
00:57:56.000 They took off pretty quick.
00:57:58.000 Yeah.
00:57:58.000 No meet and greet or anything.
00:57:59.000 There's probably too many people.
00:58:02.000 I think security.
00:58:05.000 That's what I assumed.
00:58:07.000 That's alright.
00:58:08.000 We kind of threw it together kind of last minute.
00:58:10.000 Yeah, it was a bit last minute.
00:58:11.000 I was surprised you guys, you know, were able to do it this way.
00:58:14.000 Yeah.
00:58:14.000 Hey Michigan kids!

00:58:21.000 I'm Fred Damon.
00:58:22.000 Have you ever been on the show?
00:58:24.000 A little bit.
00:58:25.000 I did a thing where I climbed a pole.
00:58:28.000 That's awesome.
00:58:30.000 And then I did a road trip video that's on Mukbang.
00:58:34.000 Oh yeah, did you go to a road trip?
00:58:36.000 Yeah, I went to Chaz.
00:58:37.000 Yeah, you went to Chaz!
00:58:39.000 Yeah, I remember you.
00:58:41.000 I'm so happy that you're my partner.
00:58:43.000 I know, yeah, I think I would have sent you to that apartment by yourself.
00:58:49.000 That was good to do, to stay part of this.
00:58:53.000 I guess.
00:58:55.000 I'm so glad.
00:58:57.000 Oh yeah, dude.
00:58:59.000 I'm so glad.
00:59:11.000 Really?
00:59:13.000 I wouldn't normally be wearing this mask, but I don't think someone would be in the picture.
00:59:17.000 Like, oh my goodness, COVID!
00:59:19.000 Yeah, I was worried about that too for hours.
00:59:22.000 I was thinking he probably would have used something like the three of us and then you
00:59:26.000 would have to get set loose.
00:59:27.000 And you guys weren't even around.
00:59:28.000 I mean he's super powerful.
00:59:29.000 He was.
00:59:30.000 He was very powerful.
00:59:31.000 Yeah.
00:59:31.000 It was very hard.
