Wilkerson and Turner.

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,840
Boston's biggest bribery
buffoonery.

9
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:04,160
Well, hello, my little cohostess
with the mostess.

10
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,120
Alicia.
How are you doing, girlfriend?

11
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,080
Oh, I am so good as a fellow
buffoon.

12
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,800
I'm doing great.
I love.

13
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,000
I love that you use the word
buffoonery.

14
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,560
Yeah, it's right up there with
shenanigans.

15
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,280
Oh my gosh, it absolutely is.
Great choice of words.

16
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,440
Well, cheers to another episode
within an inner Madonna, Black,

17
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,880
Black, Madonna.
Madonna and goblets?

18
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:38,520
Yeah.
OK, I have like, a 1960s mood

19
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:43,160
ring on, and I guess I'm feeling
blue or something like,

20
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,840
contemplative.
All right.

21
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,400
For this episode.
OK, Very excited.

22
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,920
Here we go.
Have you ever heard of a woman

23
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,480
named Diane Wilkerson?
You know what?

24
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,280
I've not.
I have not heard of Diane

25
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,960
Wilkerson.
It sounds like vaguely familiar,

26
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,200
and I don't know if it's just
because I've heard both of those

27
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,040
names multiple times, but it's
not very familiar at all.

28
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,800
OK, well Diane is the first
black woman to be a partner in a

29
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:15,000
Boston law firm.
OK, And she was the first to be

30
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,920
elected into the US State
Senate.

31
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,640
First black woman.
And that was in 1992.

32
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,340
Oh.
How awful.

33
00:02:22,340 --> 00:02:23,060
Is that?
Right?

34
00:02:23,060 --> 00:02:23,780
Yes.
Yeah.

35
00:02:23,780 --> 00:02:30,060
Should have been sooner.
So flash forward to 2007.

36
00:02:30,220 --> 00:02:33,780
Yes.
And there's this thing called a

37
00:02:33,780 --> 00:02:37,420
public corruption department
within the FBI.

38
00:02:38,220 --> 00:02:39,980
Okay.
Now, first of all, I'm sorry,

39
00:02:39,980 --> 00:02:42,460
but if you have to have a
department specifically about

40
00:02:42,460 --> 00:02:44,620
corruption, that's just honestly
sad.

41
00:02:45,570 --> 00:02:47,730
I mean public corruption
nonetheless.

42
00:02:47,730 --> 00:02:52,290
I think that probably what that
signifies is that there is so

43
00:02:52,290 --> 00:02:55,570
much corruption.
Truly you need to have an entire

44
00:02:55,570 --> 00:02:59,130
department, which I mean thank
God, because.

45
00:02:59,690 --> 00:03:01,530
I don't trust a motherfucker,
thank God.

46
00:03:01,530 --> 00:03:02,850
I just don't trust that that's
right.

47
00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:04,450
And thank God we have the
department because, you know,

48
00:03:04,450 --> 00:03:06,770
there's countries where you see
corruption all the time and

49
00:03:06,770 --> 00:03:08,650
there's just nothing done about.
It you're like, oh, we're going

50
00:03:08,650 --> 00:03:10,170
to pull you over.
You're like for what they're

51
00:03:10,170 --> 00:03:13,890
like because you owe us $1000.
Yeah, and you're like, are you

52
00:03:13,890 --> 00:03:15,930
kidding me?
Can I Venmo you?

53
00:03:15,930 --> 00:03:19,730
No, it needs to be cashed.
They will start having those QR

54
00:03:19,730 --> 00:03:21,570
codes.
Yeah, just scan my back and my

55
00:03:21,570 --> 00:03:24,010
badge.
OK, yeah.

56
00:03:24,010 --> 00:03:25,890
So.
And the purpose is to just do

57
00:03:25,890 --> 00:03:28,290
that, find and eliminate
corruption.

58
00:03:29,690 --> 00:03:34,050
So they there was this
cooperator.

59
00:03:34,050 --> 00:03:38,410
And a cooperator is just that, a
person that has a handler in the

60
00:03:38,410 --> 00:03:43,050
FBI who cooperates with the FBI
to do their gigs.

61
00:03:43,170 --> 00:03:46,730
Oh, yeah, OK And so he's helping
them with this corruption case.

62
00:03:48,370 --> 00:03:51,730
And he's talking to his handler
and it comes up that he and his

63
00:03:51,730 --> 00:03:55,650
business business partner are
trying to open this supper club

64
00:03:55,650 --> 00:04:00,690
called Deja Vu.
And it's in this town of Roxbury

65
00:04:00,690 --> 00:04:04,810
within Boston.
OK And so he applies for this

66
00:04:04,810 --> 00:04:08,010
liquor license, and he was
denied.

67
00:04:08,050 --> 00:04:10,170
I guess it's pretty hard to get
a liquor license.

68
00:04:10,210 --> 00:04:14,050
And he just says nonchalantly to
his handler, Oh, well, I'm just

69
00:04:14,050 --> 00:04:15,410
going to call Diane to get some
help.

70
00:04:16,290 --> 00:04:19,930
And the the handler goes, who's
Diane?

71
00:04:20,010 --> 00:04:23,770
Yeah, And the cooperator says
Diane Wilkerson.

72
00:04:25,090 --> 00:04:30,360
And the FBI goes, why would you
have to call Diane Wilkerson?

73
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,440
And the hander goes, oh, well,
you know, to get stuff done, you

74
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:39,560
have to call her.
And so, you know, some little

75
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,760
bells are ringing off in the
FBI's head.

76
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,960
And he goes, What do you pay
her?

77
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,080
Oh, see, I would have been like,
she knows how to get things done

78
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,720
well.
This is why I'm not a police

79
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,160
officer.
It's naive and he goes well.

80
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:00,630
I haven't personally paid her.
But yeah, she gets paid.

81
00:05:01,870 --> 00:05:05,710
And so now he's really curious
and he goes well, And then how

82
00:05:05,710 --> 00:05:08,590
do you know this?
And he says, well, because I've

83
00:05:08,590 --> 00:05:12,750
seen someone else pay her.
In fact, I've seen it twice.

84
00:05:14,390 --> 00:05:16,950
One of them was my business
partner.

85
00:05:17,310 --> 00:05:22,230
Yeah, actually.
And I'm sure he would do it

86
00:05:22,510 --> 00:05:26,010
again because this liquor
license is like make or break

87
00:05:26,010 --> 00:05:27,770
this business.
So I'm sure it's gonna happen

88
00:05:27,770 --> 00:05:31,370
again.
And like, this is all just kind

89
00:05:31,370 --> 00:05:32,650
of coming up and passing like
this.

90
00:05:32,650 --> 00:05:34,250
They weren't focusing on the
end.

91
00:05:34,250 --> 00:05:37,370
There wasn't like a corruption
case involving her.

92
00:05:37,370 --> 00:05:40,090
This just kind of came up in
conversation, which started

93
00:05:40,090 --> 00:05:44,530
ringing some bells for this FBI
handler and they wouldn't have

94
00:05:44,530 --> 00:05:47,430
known about it had he not
probed.

95
00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:49,790
Like if he had he been you and
go, ooh well, that bitch can get

96
00:05:49,790 --> 00:05:52,030
some shit done and let it go
then.

97
00:05:52,030 --> 00:05:53,510
This is any other story?
Right, right.

98
00:05:54,030 --> 00:05:56,910
If it would have been me,
nothing would have happened and

99
00:05:56,910 --> 00:06:06,030
the corruption could have
continued, So what?

100
00:06:06,710 --> 00:06:08,750
So then you start to think
again.

101
00:06:08,750 --> 00:06:12,820
I just, I keep going back to
this whole and as we go through

102
00:06:12,820 --> 00:06:14,980
the story is, yeah, you'll see
all start getting irritated

103
00:06:14,980 --> 00:06:20,500
because it just makes me so mad.
People, these senators, they

104
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:22,780
have these double standards.
They're hypocrites.

105
00:06:23,380 --> 00:06:28,380
They take advantage of people.
They're egomaniacs, yes.

106
00:06:28,980 --> 00:06:32,700
And I I know we're stereotyping,
but there's a whole department

107
00:06:32,700 --> 00:06:34,340
that handles these kinds of
people.

108
00:06:34,580 --> 00:06:36,780
Right, right.
Well, I mean, come on, just to

109
00:06:36,780 --> 00:06:39,980
get into politics, you you
really have to be one of those

110
00:06:39,980 --> 00:06:43,390
people who are.
Really kind of narcissistic.

111
00:06:43,390 --> 00:06:46,990
Like this is what I can do.
This is what I've what I've

112
00:06:46,990 --> 00:06:48,830
been.
You know, this is what I've done

113
00:06:48,830 --> 00:06:50,350
in the past.
This is me.

114
00:06:50,350 --> 00:06:52,830
Here are pictures of me.
Here's my name all over the

115
00:06:52,830 --> 00:06:54,910
place.
Like I'm going to spend all this

116
00:06:54,910 --> 00:06:57,150
money, like meet all these
people, shake all these hands,

117
00:06:57,150 --> 00:06:59,710
have people like worship me,
like it.

118
00:06:59,790 --> 00:07:02,790
The way the system works does
not allow for the best people to

119
00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:05,470
be like, right?
And I feel like a lot of people

120
00:07:05,470 --> 00:07:07,990
go in with that mentality.
Like I'm going to change the

121
00:07:07,990 --> 00:07:11,790
world and I'm going to do all
the right things and and then

122
00:07:11,790 --> 00:07:14,670
just corruption just seeps
through the cracks.

123
00:07:14,910 --> 00:07:16,510
Absolutely.
Just like kind of starts soaking

124
00:07:16,510 --> 00:07:18,110
into your body, you know what I
mean?

125
00:07:18,190 --> 00:07:21,550
Well, yeah, cuz you have to
constantly, like make money and

126
00:07:21,590 --> 00:07:23,470
who knows how long you're gonna
be in office.

127
00:07:23,470 --> 00:07:26,790
You might as well milk it for
all that you can, because that's

128
00:07:26,790 --> 00:07:29,270
what makes the world go around
money.

129
00:07:30,750 --> 00:07:37,270
So the FBI starts to dig on her,
and they find out this woman's

130
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:43,870
got quite The checker passed.
Oh, OK, so she had a 1997

131
00:07:43,870 --> 00:07:49,790
federal tax conviction for
failing to file for account on a

132
00:07:49,790 --> 00:07:53,790
four federal tax returns.
Are you serious?

133
00:07:55,830 --> 00:08:02,630
And at the time, she was in her
third term a senator, and she

134
00:08:02,630 --> 00:08:06,320
practiced law on the side that
she did not report, didn't come

135
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,520
from.
Oh my gosh.

136
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:15,040
And the government is saying
they probably lost maybe about

137
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,760
5055 grand in taxes, in taxes
that she owes and.

138
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,560
That was in 97.
Yeah, well.

139
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,840
A lot more today, yeah.
And these tax returns were 91

140
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,120
through 94, so she had Gotcha.
Yeah.

141
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,090
And so her comment to the press
on this was this is a personal

142
00:08:35,090 --> 00:08:37,890
tax matter.
I respect the legal process and

143
00:08:37,890 --> 00:08:40,610
for this reason I'm unable to
elaborate.

144
00:08:40,890 --> 00:08:45,610
I will not resign.
OK girl, here's the thing.

145
00:08:46,810 --> 00:08:48,730
Here's the problem with that
statement.

146
00:08:48,730 --> 00:08:52,960
You are a public servant.
When you say, oh, this is a

147
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,800
private matter, bitch, it is not
a private matter.

148
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,360
We are paying you, OK?
You're getting all of these like

149
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,120
benefits.
You are for forever.

150
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,080
Like, OK, you know what pisses
me off about this?

151
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,280
These motherfuckers can serve
two years.

152
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,240
Two years.
They're taking care of the rest

153
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,800
of their life.
How many people are, you know,

154
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,000
trying to make ends meet?
Like, you know, working multiple

155
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,760
jobs don't get taken care of.
They probably work way harder

156
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,210
and wait make.
Pennies, if that, no doubt.

157
00:09:21,250 --> 00:09:23,250
You know, and they're not taken
care of.

158
00:09:23,250 --> 00:09:27,090
But these, like these corrupt
fucking egomaniacs, can sit here

159
00:09:27,410 --> 00:09:31,730
and make so much money.
Yes, And then say, Oh no, no,

160
00:09:31,730 --> 00:09:34,730
this is a private matter.
I know I'm a public servant.

161
00:09:34,730 --> 00:09:37,330
But like, you just don't get it.
You don't understand.

162
00:09:37,370 --> 00:09:40,610
Fuck you Diane.
It's OK.

163
00:09:40,730 --> 00:09:45,280
Like, no like.
These You are going to have a

164
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,760
retirement plan from the United
States government?

165
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:48,800
Yeah.
They get health care.

166
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,800
Yeah, Yeah.
Yeah, best best health care to,

167
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,200
like, fuck off, Diane.
Fucking show us your three or

168
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,600
four years of fucking back tax.
Makes me bad.

169
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:03,410
Makes me so, so angry.
Office campaign of political

170
00:10:03,410 --> 00:10:07,410
finance in Boston had multiple
cases on her every two years,

171
00:10:07,410 --> 00:10:10,450
like they would do this cycle of
investigations.

172
00:10:10,450 --> 00:10:12,050
Like that was kind of their
cycle.

173
00:10:12,050 --> 00:10:13,930
I guess every two years and
every two years something would

174
00:10:13,930 --> 00:10:16,610
come up on her.
They just have like like their

175
00:10:16,610 --> 00:10:19,450
file, their actual files like so
thick just on Diane.

176
00:10:19,450 --> 00:10:21,810
They're like, Oh yeah, we're
running Diane.

177
00:10:21,810 --> 00:10:24,490
Everyone has to stay in a stay
up late this week in the.

178
00:10:24,690 --> 00:10:26,050
Sad.
So sad.

179
00:10:26,370 --> 00:10:32,170
So sad one of them was she was
fined $2400 for some other

180
00:10:32,170 --> 00:10:36,290
campaign finance violation.
So she's not paying taxes.

181
00:10:36,290 --> 00:10:40,810
She campaign violations.
What is she doing?

182
00:10:40,810 --> 00:10:45,810
Just making money?
Yeah, this is going to get real

183
00:10:45,890 --> 00:10:47,170
twisted.
Check this out.

184
00:10:49,610 --> 00:10:52,130
Oh, and so then she only paid
half of the fine.

185
00:10:52,580 --> 00:10:55,100
So then when it came up for the
second year view, oh, she came

186
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:57,340
up again cuz she didn't pay the
first time.

187
00:10:57,340 --> 00:11:01,100
So now she's on violation again.
From the first time?

188
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:03,100
For the first time, Yeah,
exactly.

189
00:11:03,220 --> 00:11:06,140
So she keeps getting in these
legal issues, they keep getting

190
00:11:06,140 --> 00:11:08,020
pushed away, probably cuz she's
a senator.

191
00:11:08,020 --> 00:11:09,940
And you know how they get
special treatment?

192
00:11:09,940 --> 00:11:15,660
Totally.
So what just drives me nuts is

193
00:11:15,660 --> 00:11:18,780
that she's got these federal
charges.

194
00:11:18,780 --> 00:11:20,140
I mean, they're federal charges,
Yeah.

195
00:11:21,850 --> 00:11:25,410
How do you stay?
How can you get to stay in this

196
00:11:25,410 --> 00:11:28,050
position?
If you are a normal citizen?

197
00:11:28,050 --> 00:11:32,770
Your company would fire you.
I mean let's let's just like,

198
00:11:32,810 --> 00:11:36,250
let's go to the fact that like,
hey, if you want to skirt one by

199
00:11:36,250 --> 00:11:39,570
the man, I'm cool with that.
Totally get that.

200
00:11:39,850 --> 00:11:41,650
Like, I mean I'm not I'm not
cool with it.

201
00:11:41,770 --> 00:11:45,250
IRS don't come at me.
But like like, hey, I get it.

202
00:11:45,530 --> 00:11:50,500
You know trying to make ends me
kind of in our in our anarchy

203
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:52,380
anarchist.
Yeah, Anarchy.

204
00:11:52,380 --> 00:11:53,900
Anarchy.
Anarchy.

205
00:11:53,980 --> 00:11:56,700
Anarchy.
I don't fucking anyway.

206
00:11:58,260 --> 00:12:02,340
But like, I I understand that.
And like, I, you know, part of

207
00:12:02,340 --> 00:12:04,220
me is like, I wish I could be
like that, but I'm too much of A

208
00:12:04,220 --> 00:12:08,940
role follower.
But you're working for the man,

209
00:12:08,940 --> 00:12:11,620
the ultimate man, the United
States government.

210
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:16,340
You are going to be questioned
by the man's bitch, which is the

211
00:12:16,340 --> 00:12:18,100
IRS.
I'm sorry.

212
00:12:18,550 --> 00:12:22,510
But fucking be smarter like a
hire a goddamn accountant.

213
00:12:22,510 --> 00:12:25,350
That is worth it.
They're waiting gold so you can

214
00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:28,870
hide all your money like
everyone else does, You know, so

215
00:12:28,870 --> 00:12:32,470
you can be a good criminal be.
An intelligent criminal.

216
00:12:34,470 --> 00:12:38,550
So she does a lot for the
minority community.

217
00:12:38,550 --> 00:12:40,910
MMM.
So.

218
00:12:41,580 --> 00:12:45,060
That's the thing, Yes.
And so she's this very strong,

219
00:12:45,060 --> 00:12:46,820
powerful black woman.
Yeah.

220
00:12:46,820 --> 00:12:51,020
Who's doing all of this good.
I mean, if you look, she's doing

221
00:12:51,020 --> 00:12:52,860
good things for their community.
Yeah.

222
00:12:53,180 --> 00:12:57,540
So, like, but is it in, you
know, under the guise of hiding

223
00:12:57,540 --> 00:12:59,860
what I'm really wanting to do,
You know what I'm saying?

224
00:12:59,860 --> 00:13:01,380
It's like what my therapist
says.

225
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,640
It can be both things.
It can like both things can

226
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,320
simultaneously exist and can be
true.

227
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:15,600
Like you can have we're human
and so we are flawed and crazy

228
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,680
weird.
That's why we live in a bizarre

229
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,360
A F world because it's run by
humans.

230
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,120
But like you know you can have
these these like goals and want

231
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,480
to help your community and do
great things for it, but then

232
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,880
also be evading taxes and not
paying taxes and being a total

233
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:32,720
criminal.
Exactly.

234
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,960
And like taking money, I'm sure
there's some kind of

235
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,720
justification.
Do the means justify the ends?

236
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,080
Well, we'll see.
We'll see.

237
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,320
Yep.
You'll be the judge of.

238
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,080
That that's interesting.
So her platform was very, very

239
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,760
heavy on race disparities for
the African community.

240
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:54,400
So she was very much appreciated
and loved by this community, had

241
00:13:54,400 --> 00:14:00,310
lots and lots of support and
like I said, helping the people,

242
00:14:00,310 --> 00:14:02,110
but at the same time helping
herself.

243
00:14:02,110 --> 00:14:09,390
So you know, if if you are
someone who's getting direct

244
00:14:09,390 --> 00:14:15,030
help from her in some form or
fashion, then you can very

245
00:14:15,030 --> 00:14:17,710
easily, you know, if someone
calls her out for something,

246
00:14:17,790 --> 00:14:21,670
it's very easy for you to call
it a lie or to call it like and

247
00:14:21,670 --> 00:14:24,030
had a big deal or you know,
whatever, right.

248
00:14:24,950 --> 00:14:29,300
So the agent asked this, this
cooperator on the other

249
00:14:29,300 --> 00:14:32,180
corruption case, he says, I want
you to set up a meeting with

250
00:14:32,180 --> 00:14:36,980
Diane and we're going to see if
she will actually accept a

251
00:14:36,980 --> 00:14:43,780
bribe.
So he was very hesitant at

252
00:14:43,780 --> 00:14:47,820
first, right, Because he's, I
mean yeah he's a cooperator, but

253
00:14:48,450 --> 00:14:50,610
at the same time he's trying to
get a business going and you

254
00:14:50,730 --> 00:14:53,570
just want to burn bridges and
you know, so he's he's kind of

255
00:14:53,570 --> 00:14:55,770
hesitant.
He's like backed into a corner

256
00:14:55,770 --> 00:14:58,370
by the government and he's like,
look, she is like the highest

257
00:14:58,370 --> 00:15:01,370
ranking African American person
in all communities.

258
00:15:01,370 --> 00:15:04,610
She is a state senator.
She's the only person that's

259
00:15:04,610 --> 00:15:08,010
getting anything done for us.
Like, I don't necessarily want

260
00:15:08,010 --> 00:15:08,850
to do this.
Sure.

261
00:15:09,410 --> 00:15:12,330
And so the handler, he tells
this guy, he goes, well, look,

262
00:15:12,330 --> 00:15:20,510
think about it this way, If she
really the best person, if she's

263
00:15:20,510 --> 00:15:22,950
the really the bad person, like
isn't that the problem?

264
00:15:23,230 --> 00:15:26,150
Like if this corrupt person is
really the best problem, Like,

265
00:15:26,150 --> 00:15:27,710
isn't that the OR the best
solution?

266
00:15:27,710 --> 00:15:32,630
Isn't that the problem?
I mean, he she's corrupt and you

267
00:15:32,630 --> 00:15:35,350
know, if she can do good things
for you and the you know, the

268
00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:38,390
community and all of that, then
she can just as easily do bad

269
00:15:38,390 --> 00:15:40,030
things against you too.
That won't.

270
00:15:40,590 --> 00:15:46,030
It's a solid point, but also.
It's so hard to get to a

271
00:15:46,030 --> 00:15:48,430
position like that, especially
since she's the first black

272
00:15:48,430 --> 00:15:52,110
woman to do so.
I know, like in 92, like, that's

273
00:15:52,110 --> 00:15:56,790
insane.
I would feel the same way as

274
00:15:56,910 --> 00:15:58,790
this guy.
Like, what do I do?

275
00:15:58,790 --> 00:16:00,230
What do I choose?
Like, how do I?

276
00:16:00,670 --> 00:16:03,950
Yeah, I mean, that's a hard one.
Well, they have.

277
00:16:09,830 --> 00:16:11,870
And he says, yeah, you know
what, You're you're right,

278
00:16:11,910 --> 00:16:05,870
you're right, you're right.
The handler actually finally

279
00:16:05,870 --> 00:16:07,430
talked him in to doing it.
Wow.

280
00:16:12,430 --> 00:16:14,190
It's the it's the right thing to
do.

281
00:16:14,190 --> 00:16:15,710
It's the right thing to do.
So he does it.

282
00:16:16,230 --> 00:16:22,030
So maith this is maith end of
May 2007, and the cooperator

283
00:16:22,030 --> 00:16:24,470
reaches out to Wilkerson to set
up a meeting.

284
00:16:25,390 --> 00:16:29,350
And because they had had
dealings in the past, right,

285
00:16:29,350 --> 00:16:32,590
because with this whole, he's a
businessman, he's trying to get

286
00:16:32,590 --> 00:16:33,790
his bar and blah blah, blah,
blah.

287
00:16:33,790 --> 00:16:38,210
So she accepts this meeting and
so he meets her to get this

288
00:16:38,210 --> 00:16:40,330
liquor license.
This is the point of the meeting

289
00:16:40,330 --> 00:16:42,490
is to give me the liquor
license.

290
00:16:42,490 --> 00:16:46,210
Yes, OK.
So and and from A just I know

291
00:16:46,210 --> 00:16:48,650
that you know this is not
planned or whatever, but I used

292
00:16:48,650 --> 00:16:52,170
to work in well I still kind of
do work in in the real estate

293
00:16:52,170 --> 00:16:58,250
industry commercial and to get a
liquor license it's very hard,

294
00:16:58,250 --> 00:17:01,050
it's very expensive and it is
time like.

295
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,800
Like the the amount of time, at
least in the state of Colorado

296
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,240
like to get a liquor license.
It can be months just depending

297
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,040
on how backed up they are and
then like I don't know if

298
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,640
there's even one available.
If there's one available, 25 +

299
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:19,640
1000 dollars, you know, easy.
And you're trying to start out a

300
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,400
business like that's just for
the liquor license that does

301
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,599
not, that does not include any
other costs.

302
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:25,839
That's right.
So.

303
00:17:26,910 --> 00:17:29,510
I can say like, fuck, like, I
kind of get that.

304
00:17:29,510 --> 00:17:32,310
Like if she's like, hey, this
other one let me you know, it's

305
00:17:32,310 --> 00:17:35,430
a great excuse and it would be a
great reason to meet up with

306
00:17:35,430 --> 00:17:37,630
someone.
Exactly, exactly.

307
00:17:38,390 --> 00:17:43,430
So if she doesn't take the
money, then they don't have a

308
00:17:43,430 --> 00:17:45,630
case.
So that's what the FBI wants to

309
00:17:45,630 --> 00:17:47,510
see is if she's going to take
this money.

310
00:17:47,510 --> 00:17:54,070
And in the first meeting, the
cooperator hands her 500 bucks

311
00:17:55,350 --> 00:17:59,470
and she takes it kind of on the
sly.

312
00:17:59,470 --> 00:18:01,230
She kind of just.
And it's all on video.

313
00:18:01,230 --> 00:18:03,390
You can see it on video.
Oh my God, he has.

314
00:18:03,390 --> 00:18:07,230
She's wearing a camera.
OK, And so she takes the 500

315
00:18:07,230 --> 00:18:12,230
bucks and she looks at it and
she's like, very disappointed

316
00:18:12,550 --> 00:18:13,990
with the amount of money in her
hand.

317
00:18:14,110 --> 00:18:18,310
Oh, really?
She looks like this is a paltry

318
00:18:19,310 --> 00:18:23,150
what is this?
And so so he kind of he

319
00:18:23,150 --> 00:18:24,790
recovers.
Hey, hey, no, no, no.

320
00:18:24,830 --> 00:18:27,790
Much more where that came from.
This is just.

321
00:18:27,990 --> 00:18:30,830
A Hey, girl, it's just kind of
went the whistle.

322
00:18:30,870 --> 00:18:31,630
Yeah.
Yeah.

323
00:18:32,630 --> 00:18:35,110
And he goes, I'll we're just
gonna meet up again.

324
00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:37,350
This is just to let you know I'm
serious.

325
00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:40,070
I got you, girl.
I got you.

326
00:18:41,190 --> 00:18:46,910
So since she takes the money,
the corruption case starts.

327
00:18:46,950 --> 00:18:50,310
They're like, all right, well,
tech, she's already been bribed,

328
00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:53,270
so they could arrest her.
So weak and flimsy.

329
00:18:53,350 --> 00:18:56,350
Probably be out in a day, Right.
So we're gonna keep this thing

330
00:18:56,350 --> 00:18:56,950
going.
Yep.

331
00:18:59,070 --> 00:19:03,270
So now it's June.
Next month, he meets her again.

332
00:19:05,510 --> 00:19:08,550
Of course, The corruption.
That same corruption squad is

333
00:19:08,550 --> 00:19:11,990
listening and they're watching,
and they have undercovers in the

334
00:19:11,990 --> 00:19:15,270
restaurant nearby.
That the whole bit you can

335
00:19:15,270 --> 00:19:23,180
imagine.
And she says, I'm gonna get you,

336
00:19:23,180 --> 00:19:29,180
the things are in progress, I'm
gonna get you the license.

337
00:19:29,500 --> 00:19:34,820
And he says perfect.
And he hands her 1000 bucks.

338
00:19:34,860 --> 00:19:37,620
Okay 1000.
So now at this point, it's $15

339
00:19:37,660 --> 00:19:41,270
she's gotten.
So she holds it for a second and

340
00:19:41,270 --> 00:19:45,270
she you can see this on date.
She reaches up her bottom of her

341
00:19:45,270 --> 00:19:47,710
shirt and stuffs it in her bra.
Shut up.

342
00:19:47,790 --> 00:19:53,110
Right there, right there.
Stupid so tough.

343
00:19:53,630 --> 00:19:57,230
Like like why would you just why
would you do that first of all

344
00:19:57,550 --> 00:19:59,630
like like.
That is just like some seedy ass

345
00:19:59,630 --> 00:20:01,550
behavior.
Seedy behavior?

346
00:20:01,870 --> 00:20:06,030
Come on, Diane.
What the fuck suss?

347
00:20:06,670 --> 00:20:16,410
So, so they do this again again
a week later, right?

348
00:20:16,410 --> 00:20:18,010
Because they're trying to keep
things going.

349
00:20:18,010 --> 00:20:23,570
He said he can take care of her.
The semi hands are $2000 OK.

350
00:20:23,570 --> 00:20:28,490
Two weeks later, 2000, and again
she reaches up her shirt and

351
00:20:28,490 --> 00:20:32,610
stuffs it in her broth.
All on tape.

352
00:20:35,130 --> 00:20:41,580
So she's now calling the mayor.
She's calling the president of

353
00:20:41,580 --> 00:20:46,140
the City Council, She's called
the joint chief of licensing for

354
00:20:46,820 --> 00:20:53,980
the alcohol.
And in Boston, these liquor

355
00:20:53,980 --> 00:21:01,980
license typically range between
200 and 300,000 dollars.

356
00:21:02,060 --> 00:21:04,380
Yeah.
Yeah, they're not cheap.

357
00:21:05,220 --> 00:21:09,850
Especially if they're rare or
you know, like sometimes liquor

358
00:21:09,850 --> 00:21:12,410
license, you can buy just the
liquor, sometimes they're

359
00:21:12,410 --> 00:21:14,930
cheaper ones you can if you as
long as you serve food with

360
00:21:14,930 --> 00:21:17,690
them, they're a little cheaper.
Blah blah blah like like just.

361
00:21:17,690 --> 00:21:19,650
Beer and wine and wine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

362
00:21:19,650 --> 00:21:25,050
Well, these particular ones were
just liquor and two to 300,000

363
00:21:25,050 --> 00:21:26,370
bucks.
Holy shit.

364
00:21:27,170 --> 00:21:31,330
But they had this thing called a
special liquor license.

365
00:21:31,410 --> 00:21:34,460
OK.
And the purpose of special

366
00:21:34,460 --> 00:21:42,820
liquor license was for
disadvantaged areas to help them

367
00:21:42,820 --> 00:21:47,180
get these licenses that they
might not otherwise be able to

368
00:21:47,180 --> 00:21:49,380
have access to or afford.
So like in.

369
00:21:49,380 --> 00:21:53,140
Bars that like have like poor,
like, yes exactly.

370
00:21:53,140 --> 00:21:54,820
Or like trying to get a.
Business, yes.

371
00:21:54,820 --> 00:21:56,580
Owners trying to get things.
Yes, exactly.

372
00:21:56,580 --> 00:21:57,260
That makes sense.
That's.

373
00:21:57,260 --> 00:21:58,220
A nice.
That's a nice thing to do.

374
00:21:59,300 --> 00:22:03,560
And you were, so you were able
to get a liquor license for

375
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:09,080
$2900 + 1 dollar a seat.
So I'm I'm guessing that means

376
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,320
like if you could had a $300.00
three hundred person capacity,

377
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,160
it was going to be $2900 + 300
dollars.

378
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,840
So yeah, very very cheap.
Yeah, a lot.

379
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:22,040
Less, but they didn't have any
more of those.

380
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,280
Those were out.
And So what she eventually did

381
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:32,060
was she pushed and she poked and
she prodded and got that Senate

382
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:35,580
and the House and Boston License
Authority and City Council all

383
00:22:35,580 --> 00:22:39,140
in this great big meeting.
And they agreed that Boston

384
00:22:39,140 --> 00:22:42,460
would sponsor what they called
this thing called a home rule

385
00:22:42,460 --> 00:22:47,260
petition to get forty of these
special liquor licenses for

386
00:22:47,260 --> 00:22:50,900
alcohol for the city.
Oh my God, it's like 30 and 30

387
00:22:50,900 --> 00:22:54,420
by beer and wine.
But Diane was going to get four

388
00:22:54,420 --> 00:23:04,340
of them for her area because she
was doing such a good job and

389
00:23:04,340 --> 00:23:07,140
and you know, helping the
communities and getting this all

390
00:23:07,140 --> 00:23:09,060
going.
So she she was going to be able

391
00:23:09,060 --> 00:23:15,220
to get for which he was.
In her jurisdiction, Yes,

392
00:23:15,220 --> 00:23:18,460
exactly.
And so she says, oh, I'm going

393
00:23:18,460 --> 00:23:23,580
to call Chuck Turner and have
him hold a public hearing about

394
00:23:24,060 --> 00:23:27,620
why there aren't more minority
liquor license.

395
00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:31,120
And I'm just going to make a
really big stink about it and

396
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,760
put it in the press and just
make, you know, this big deal.

397
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,760
And again, this boils.
This is what pisses me off.

398
00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:43,200
Is that minorities or
disadvantaged people or any

399
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:53,360
group of people who are taking
advantage of their minorityism

400
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:59,170
or whatever for their own self?
Gain.

401
00:23:59,210 --> 00:24:01,490
Gain.
Hate it now.

402
00:24:03,010 --> 00:24:04,610
Again.
Like you said your therapy said

403
00:24:04,770 --> 00:24:06,410
you could.
Two things can be true.

404
00:24:06,410 --> 00:24:08,490
And yes.
See I.

405
00:24:08,490 --> 00:24:10,930
Think Yeah.
Yes, she's she's make.

406
00:24:11,050 --> 00:24:13,130
She's making these lice.
She's making a big stink that

407
00:24:13,130 --> 00:24:15,050
there's not enough liquor
licenses in here.

408
00:24:15,370 --> 00:24:18,770
But the point of the matter is
she was a greedy biatch and she

409
00:24:18,770 --> 00:24:22,270
wanted money is only reason she
was doing it, I mean.

410
00:24:22,430 --> 00:24:31,430
Yes, but yes and no.
But also what I'm wondering is

411
00:24:32,190 --> 00:24:34,750
like we were talking about do
the ends justifying the means

412
00:24:34,910 --> 00:24:39,970
and if that means that.
Actual people like her giving it

413
00:24:39,970 --> 00:24:41,770
to this guy who's already paid
her like 20.

414
00:24:42,050 --> 00:24:46,050
I mean, honestly, at this point
he's paid her $3500 and she's

415
00:24:46,050 --> 00:24:49,890
already starting to get more
liquor licenses versus him

416
00:24:49,890 --> 00:24:54,890
paying 300,000 for a normal one
like he would potentially.

417
00:24:54,890 --> 00:24:56,050
I don't know.
I don't know how much more he's

418
00:24:56,050 --> 00:24:58,930
going to pay, but but he's still
like making.

419
00:24:59,620 --> 00:25:01,380
Oh, it's helping him.
It's helping him.

420
00:25:01,380 --> 00:25:03,460
It's helping the community.
I mean it.

421
00:25:03,580 --> 00:25:06,220
Is, but it's going in her effing
pocket.

422
00:25:06,420 --> 00:25:08,780
Well, I mean.
Yeah, cuz OK, so this is what I

423
00:25:08,780 --> 00:25:10,020
was thinking.
I'm like, oh, well, then you'll

424
00:25:10,020 --> 00:25:12,460
have other people who can do it,
who need it.

425
00:25:12,740 --> 00:25:14,620
But no fucking Diane is going to
be.

426
00:25:14,620 --> 00:25:17,260
No, she's gonna pocket it.
Yeah, girl, you wanna last the

427
00:25:17,380 --> 00:25:19,780
money make?
It grain.

428
00:25:19,780 --> 00:25:21,780
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes.

429
00:25:22,100 --> 00:25:22,700
Yeah.
Yeah.

430
00:25:22,820 --> 00:25:23,980
No, for sure.
Yeah.

431
00:25:24,180 --> 00:25:27,540
That's it's irritating.
So Chuck Turner is a city

432
00:25:27,540 --> 00:25:33,180
Councilor, yes, and he was in
her district and had a

433
00:25:33,180 --> 00:25:39,020
reputation for being very
abrasive, very outspoken and

434
00:25:39,020 --> 00:25:50,500
again, very much about how being
a minority and being abused is

435
00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:52,820
the wrong word but but taking
advantage?

436
00:25:52,820 --> 00:25:55,740
Taking maybe, perhaps taking
advantage of not being treated

437
00:25:55,740 --> 00:26:01,480
equally, etc, etc.
And so he, he too was African

438
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,960
American and very quick to get
things done by calling out race

439
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,640
disparages.
Disparities, yeah, And about

440
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,560
being harassed by the police.
And if you watch his videos,

441
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,480
it's always, always that, well,
yeah.

442
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:16,960
They always have their fucking
talking.

443
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,320
You know what?
Here's the thing about all these

444
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,400
motherfuckers.
They have like, they're three

445
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,000
things that they say every
single time.

446
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,400
Every single one of them, yeah.
Regardless of who you are.

447
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,160
Exactly.
And it's like always something

448
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,200
to get them on the same page as
the normal man, right?

449
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,280
Yes.
Or the normal person, like yes.

450
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,560
Look, I'm just like you.
I've gone through.

451
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,240
This and this strife and I had
this happen to me.

452
00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:46,720
Yes, Or my family were farmers,
and I know how it is to work

453
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,040
hard like another American.
It's the same fucking shit, yes,

454
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:52,080
but they're the same.
Like egomaniac.

455
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,480
Exactly.
It doesn't matter what you're

456
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,240
saying.
You are who you are.

457
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,840
Color of your skin, they all do
it.

458
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,320
Yes.
In some form or fashion.

459
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,080
Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure,
for sure.

460
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,040
And so his community like
Diane's, they loved both of them

461
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,200
very, very much because they
were calling out all the things

462
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,920
that their community was upset
about.

463
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:19,680
They were helping them, moving
things along regardless of how

464
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:24,480
they did it.
And, and not in the the best

465
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,000
way, in my opinion, but they're
making things happen.

466
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:32,360
Sure.
OK, so she tells Diane tells the

467
00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:35,280
cooperator, which she doesn't
know as a cooperator, to go meet

468
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:40,200
with Chuck too and tells him
what he needs.

469
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,880
And so he does.
And this is also on tape and he

470
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,080
reaches out to Chuck's hand.
He goes, I want to thank you

471
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,960
very much, please let me shake
your hand And he shakes his hand

472
00:27:53,960 --> 00:28:01,600
and he palms him 500 bucks.
And now any.

473
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:07,100
Sorry, any person with any
morals, I'm gonna say it.

474
00:28:07,420 --> 00:28:12,020
Any person with any morals not
expecting money to be pawned

475
00:28:12,020 --> 00:28:14,300
into their hands.
Yeah, if you were to do that to

476
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:16,740
me, I would look at my hands and
go what?

477
00:28:16,820 --> 00:28:18,980
What is this?
Yeah, what?

478
00:28:19,580 --> 00:28:20,900
I don't want that.
I don't need that.

479
00:28:20,900 --> 00:28:22,980
What is this for?
Yeah, yeah.

480
00:28:22,980 --> 00:28:26,780
No, no, no, no, no.
He shakes his hand, feels the

481
00:28:26,780 --> 00:28:28,180
money.
You can see him just kind of

482
00:28:28,180 --> 00:28:31,620
grab it, look, keeps looking and
sticks it right in his pocket,

483
00:28:31,950 --> 00:28:33,950
so.
Like he's done it before.

484
00:28:34,310 --> 00:28:35,670
Like he knew what was coming.
Yep.

485
00:28:36,590 --> 00:28:37,910
Interesting.
Disgusting.

486
00:28:40,030 --> 00:28:45,710
So now the FBI has two people
taking bribes?

487
00:28:45,790 --> 00:28:49,830
Oh my.
God, the first two people, they

488
00:28:49,830 --> 00:28:51,470
investigate.
Both of them are.

489
00:28:51,550 --> 00:28:55,550
Yeah, right.
And so shortly after this whole

490
00:28:55,550 --> 00:28:58,470
meeting that the cooperator
comes into the FBI, he flops the

491
00:28:58,470 --> 00:29:00,390
recording device on the table
and he says I'm done.

492
00:29:00,390 --> 00:29:02,670
I can't.
I can't do this anymore.

493
00:29:04,070 --> 00:29:06,830
And if you want me to do it now,
you're gonna start paying my

494
00:29:06,830 --> 00:29:09,550
rent.
Damn straight.

495
00:29:10,550 --> 00:29:14,510
Damn straight.
I'll fucking tell you what,

496
00:29:14,670 --> 00:29:15,830
that's exactly what I was
thinking.

497
00:29:15,830 --> 00:29:18,110
I'm like, is this guy just doing
this out of the goodness of his

498
00:29:18,110 --> 00:29:20,070
heart?
He needs to be getting paid.

499
00:29:20,070 --> 00:29:25,030
Are you fucking kidding me?
Don't you wanna be like a good

500
00:29:25,030 --> 00:29:28,390
human being to society and
contribute to the benefit of

501
00:29:28,900 --> 00:29:30,580
Sure.
But guess what?

502
00:29:30,980 --> 00:29:33,860
I have bills.
Mama got bills.

503
00:29:33,860 --> 00:29:35,180
I have bills.
That I need to pay.

504
00:29:35,180 --> 00:29:38,180
I don't come from fucking money.
Here's my here's my But you're

505
00:29:38,180 --> 00:29:40,220
working yours.
You're an entrepreneur.

506
00:29:40,220 --> 00:29:42,020
You're creating businesses.
You're not.

507
00:29:42,900 --> 00:29:45,460
You're not.
He's like, he was like because

508
00:29:45,460 --> 00:29:48,420
he was starting a business.
He's like, I don't hat

509
00:29:48,420 --> 00:29:51,260
necessarily have the money.
It doesn't strike me as someone

510
00:29:51,260 --> 00:29:54,980
who is like has a shit load of
funds, right?

511
00:29:55,020 --> 00:29:58,750
Or else why would he go?
And cooperate with a fucking FBI

512
00:29:59,310 --> 00:30:02,190
because all these people are
fucked up and fraud.

513
00:30:02,390 --> 00:30:05,990
Yeah, well, truly, truly, you're
you're in bed with these people.

514
00:30:05,990 --> 00:30:08,390
You can't be that great.
And here's another.

515
00:30:08,390 --> 00:30:14,470
Thing Here's a lesson for anyone
listening ask.

516
00:30:14,910 --> 00:30:18,070
Just ask for it.
It might seem really stupid or

517
00:30:18,070 --> 00:30:21,390
like you're not going to get it,
but ask for it because you might

518
00:30:21,390 --> 00:30:23,310
be surprised.
This is like that's like

519
00:30:23,310 --> 00:30:25,310
something I've been learning
recently like.

520
00:30:25,910 --> 00:30:27,350
Oh, yeah.
This is what I need.

521
00:30:27,710 --> 00:30:31,070
And I get it.
So this guy is needing to have

522
00:30:31,070 --> 00:30:34,630
his bills paid.
He is.

523
00:30:34,630 --> 00:30:38,350
He's putting in some fucking
time and work for the FBI, You

524
00:30:38,390 --> 00:30:40,230
know, like they should be
getting paid.

525
00:30:40,470 --> 00:30:43,550
Honestly.
Like, that's to to do that whole

526
00:30:43,550 --> 00:30:44,870
acting.
It's an acting.

527
00:30:45,150 --> 00:30:46,750
He's being.
He's a paid actor.

528
00:30:46,750 --> 00:30:47,550
Okay.
Yep.

529
00:30:47,830 --> 00:30:51,310
Yep, that's true.
Get your yourself some okay.

530
00:30:52,030 --> 00:31:01,360
Thank you very much.
So they FBI figures, well,

531
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,440
they're gonna enter.
So they're gonna introduce an

532
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:09,360
inch and an undercover into the
case into this.

533
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,240
Into this mix, yes.
So they're gonna bring an FBI

534
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,360
undercover in.
Yeah, that would make sense.

535
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,520
And once they do that, they're
not gonna need the cooperator

536
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,200
anymore because now they've got
their in, right?

537
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,370
So they okay.
Yeah.

538
00:31:24,370 --> 00:31:27,330
Wait, I have a?
Did they pay the cooperator?

539
00:31:28,050 --> 00:31:32,250
They never paid the cooperator.
I'm sorry.

540
00:31:29,890 --> 00:31:34,050
Fuck.
I am on the Cooperator's fucking

541
00:31:34,050 --> 00:31:34,850
side.
Are you?

542
00:31:35,410 --> 00:31:43,260
What do you think?
Well, Kevin, honestly, yeah,

543
00:31:43,300 --> 00:31:46,740
I'm, I'm really, I'm trying to
be open minded here, but like

544
00:31:46,740 --> 00:31:49,460
this is like.
Over a month of working with the

545
00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:52,420
FBI, think of the meetings and
like the briefings that you have

546
00:31:52,420 --> 00:31:56,420
for me, that would that's I'm
bringing the band man down.

547
00:31:56,420 --> 00:32:00,500
Like that's enough for me.
I'm taking the man.

548
00:32:00,620 --> 00:32:04,340
I'm taking those corrupt
biatches away, is the thing.

549
00:32:04,620 --> 00:32:08,060
Let's say you're starting a
business and you don't have very

550
00:32:08,060 --> 00:32:11,770
much money and.
You're like OK at first you're

551
00:32:11,770 --> 00:32:13,410
like, yes.
But then you're like, well why

552
00:32:13,410 --> 00:32:15,890
don't I just get paid while I do
this anyways, cuz then I can

553
00:32:16,130 --> 00:32:18,610
take down the bad guy and make
sure that my rent's paid.

554
00:32:20,850 --> 00:32:24,490
Like you said, it doesn't hurt
to ask you go look, I just, I

555
00:32:24,490 --> 00:32:27,210
need to.
Sure.

556
00:32:24,850 --> 00:32:29,970
I need some cash Sprinkle.
And if they say no, then at

557
00:32:29,970 --> 00:32:35,450
least you've asked.
I'm just a moral person.

558
00:32:31,650 --> 00:32:33,650
Sure, I talked.
Kevin's like.

559
00:32:35,850 --> 00:32:41,350
I'm like, no ask for money.
We are not rich people.

560
00:32:41,350 --> 00:32:54,470
Okay, so they say to Diane and.
Good old Chuck.

561
00:32:54,470 --> 00:32:58,470
Good old Chuck, eh?
That this new FBI guy is the

562
00:32:58,470 --> 00:33:02,950
nephew of the cooperator and.
He's gonna take over getting the

563
00:33:02,950 --> 00:33:04,500
liquor license now.
Okay.

564
00:33:04,540 --> 00:33:07,420
He's now gonna be responsible
cuz cooperators got other

565
00:33:07,420 --> 00:33:10,340
things, more important things to
do in the business.

566
00:33:12,540 --> 00:33:17,780
And so they set up another
meeting with Wilkerson to

567
00:33:17,780 --> 00:33:25,180
introduce the I'm Eric quoting
nephew right this time.

568
00:33:25,780 --> 00:33:30,460
It's the 5th bribe, and it's
coming directly from an FBI

569
00:33:30,460 --> 00:33:35,730
agent.
Oh, this time it's $3000.

570
00:33:36,530 --> 00:33:39,410
They don't give, they don't give
our cooperator any money.

571
00:33:39,650 --> 00:33:46,290
They're like, here's 500 twice
and like $1000, but here we go,

572
00:33:46,810 --> 00:33:50,450
here's 3000 from the FBI agent.
That's so funny.

573
00:33:50,890 --> 00:33:53,610
So now we're up to 6500 bucks
for Diane.

574
00:33:53,610 --> 00:33:55,250
So.
Yeah, that's exactly what I was

575
00:33:55,250 --> 00:33:57,370
gonna say.
Diane has really made it out,

576
00:33:57,690 --> 00:34:00,130
Chuck, he's only made 500 so far
at this point.

577
00:34:00,130 --> 00:34:03,930
He's only made 500 bucks.
Yep, 65. 100, you said, Yeah,

578
00:34:04,130 --> 00:34:09,489
yeah.
So they introduced yet another

579
00:34:09,610 --> 00:34:13,929
FBI undercover guy and this
guy's introduced as an out of

580
00:34:13,929 --> 00:34:21,650
state business developer.
And so he pays her another $2000

581
00:34:21,650 --> 00:34:24,610
to keep that license, that
liquor license thing going.

582
00:34:26,469 --> 00:34:30,110
Because they're gonna also need
this for one one of his, one of

583
00:34:30,110 --> 00:34:33,310
his businesses, Okay.
So I remember cuz she's got

584
00:34:33,310 --> 00:34:34,830
four, right?
And so, during one of the

585
00:34:34,830 --> 00:34:37,710
meetings with the new
undercover, Wilkerson pitches a

586
00:34:37,710 --> 00:34:43,830
new scheme.
She mentions this thing called

587
00:34:43,830 --> 00:34:50,469
Parcel 8.
Okay Well, Parcel 8 is a state

588
00:34:50,750 --> 00:35:01,010
owned piece of property.
And she kept talking about this

589
00:35:01,010 --> 00:35:04,090
thing called direct designation,
OK.

590
00:35:05,290 --> 00:35:08,090
And this particular piece of
land was very valuable.

591
00:35:08,850 --> 00:35:10,130
Yeah, especially like in that
area.

592
00:35:10,130 --> 00:35:13,930
It was in that Perfect area.
It was a great parcel.

593
00:35:15,010 --> 00:35:20,130
And she says she could directly
designate it to this developer

594
00:35:20,570 --> 00:35:24,860
through a piece of legislation
so that it wouldn't have to be

595
00:35:24,860 --> 00:35:27,380
put out for a bid.
Like she could just directly

596
00:35:27,380 --> 00:35:33,700
designate this parcel.
And so he's like, keep in mind

597
00:35:33,700 --> 00:35:37,700
it's the FBI.
He's like, yeah, heck yeah,

598
00:35:37,700 --> 00:35:44,140
let's do this thing.
So a month later he gives her

599
00:35:44,620 --> 00:35:48,100
another $7000.
Oh my.

600
00:35:48,860 --> 00:35:54,120
God, so now we're up to like
35135 Little Diane.

601
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,960
She hasn't delivered anything by
the at this point, by the way.

602
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,160
Oh.
Yeah, she's just well, OK,

603
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,680
actually she kind of has cuz
she's gotten that legislation

604
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,240
passed.
She's had legislation passed.

605
00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:08,920
That's right, she's got 4
licenses and she has four.

606
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:10,840
Yeah, that's right.
Now it's.

607
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:11,600
That's true.
Bring.

608
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:12,600
On the highest bidder?
Yeah.

609
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,560
So the FBI ups the annies and
they suggest yet another meeting

610
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:24,490
with yet another interested
Invest air quoting here in the

611
00:36:24,490 --> 00:36:27,970
state of Georgia.
They're really trying to amp

612
00:36:27,970 --> 00:36:30,130
this up.
And they're like, Oh yeah, so

613
00:36:30,130 --> 00:36:33,090
you're going to be all dirty.
We got all the people you need,

614
00:36:33,090 --> 00:36:34,930
girlfriend.
You're going to be rich.

615
00:36:36,370 --> 00:36:41,810
And so arrange this whole thing
in Atlanta, and they're going to

616
00:36:41,810 --> 00:36:44,850
roll out this whole scenario,
and there's going to be like 12

617
00:36:44,850 --> 00:36:50,250
undercover cops in this hotel.
They send her a plane ticket.

618
00:36:51,720 --> 00:36:54,000
I mean, they've got this whole
thing set up where it's gonna be

619
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:58,200
this investor with all this
money and he just needs her help

620
00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:04,040
and she's gonna be like, rich.
Yeah, she never shows up.

621
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,000
She fucking.
Smelled it.

622
00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:12,690
She lost the primary.
The primary was happening.

623
00:37:12,690 --> 00:37:15,250
She lost the primary.
So she is in the fight of her

624
00:37:15,250 --> 00:37:17,290
life to stay in the office
because now she's gonna lose her

625
00:37:17,290 --> 00:37:18,250
meal ticket.
Yeah.

626
00:37:18,610 --> 00:37:21,090
So she didn't go.
She was focused on this primary.

627
00:37:23,530 --> 00:37:26,970
So she's doing this thing, what
they call a sticker campaign.

628
00:37:26,970 --> 00:37:29,050
And I guess that's kind of like
a write in.

629
00:37:29,690 --> 00:37:32,690
Oh yeah.
It's something to do with write

630
00:37:32,690 --> 00:37:35,320
in and so and she's hoping,
yeah.

631
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,080
So she's hoping that that she
had to do it that way for some

632
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:39,640
reason.
I don't know politics, but

633
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,000
that's what she had to do.
She didn't win her.

634
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:42,920
Campaign her.
Her party's?

635
00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:46,600
Yeah, exactly.
So she's not on the ballot,

636
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:47,720
right?
So she's exactly.

637
00:37:47,720 --> 00:37:48,960
So she's focusing in all on
that.

638
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:55,840
So honestly, that's.
Fucking hilarious.

639
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,600
So the developer, I'm recording,
guy says to her.

640
00:38:03,470 --> 00:38:06,150
Oh no, she says sorry, She
That's right, she says to this

641
00:38:06,150 --> 00:38:07,470
developer.
She goes like, I'm, I'm in the

642
00:38:07,470 --> 00:38:09,990
fight of my life here, yeah.
I might lose my.

643
00:38:09,990 --> 00:38:14,110
I'm gonna lose my seat.
You gotta give me $10,000.

644
00:38:17,910 --> 00:38:21,870
Because you're my friend.
I'm not gonna do anything for

645
00:38:21,870 --> 00:38:23,950
you.
But but I mean, she makes a good

646
00:38:23,950 --> 00:38:26,350
point.
Like, hey, look, if I'm not

647
00:38:26,350 --> 00:38:28,270
here, then I can't.
Do anything.

648
00:38:28,310 --> 00:38:29,630
I can't do anything.
So you need to.

649
00:38:29,630 --> 00:38:31,190
It's in your best interest to
give me money.

650
00:38:31,230 --> 00:38:33,270
Yeah, totally.
So 10,000.

651
00:38:33,270 --> 00:38:36,150
So she's straight up 10?
Yep, straight up asked for 10

652
00:38:36,150 --> 00:38:38,510
grand and he gives her 10 grand.
Oh my gosh.

653
00:38:39,510 --> 00:38:42,630
Diane, he says.
But if I do this, I need that

654
00:38:42,950 --> 00:38:48,510
personal 80, OK?
If I give you this 10 grand, you

655
00:38:48,510 --> 00:38:50,350
need to direct.
Designate me that personal

656
00:38:50,350 --> 00:38:53,270
eight, yeah.
You're desperate.

657
00:38:53,390 --> 00:38:54,630
I'm desperate.
Exactly.

658
00:38:54,630 --> 00:38:57,710
And so she says, yes, I will.
I will do that.

659
00:38:57,790 --> 00:39:00,350
I will do that.
This is all on tape, by the way.

660
00:39:01,700 --> 00:39:04,340
She's like, he's like, here's
the 10,000, she's like, let me

661
00:39:04,420 --> 00:39:06,940
stuff it up on your mind, bro,
she.

662
00:39:06,980 --> 00:39:10,780
Has like these huge boobs.
She's like no, no, no, no.

663
00:39:10,780 --> 00:39:13,620
I'm just swollen or something.
It's a limp issue.

664
00:39:14,540 --> 00:39:17,700
So they meet in this little
sandwich shop, he gives her the

665
00:39:17,700 --> 00:39:23,300
$10,000 and she shows him the
filing where she does that

666
00:39:23,300 --> 00:39:28,780
direct designation to the land.
OK, yeah, so she's keeping her

667
00:39:28,780 --> 00:39:31,230
word.
He's giving her the cash.

668
00:39:32,470 --> 00:39:37,230
So now it is like there is no
question Diane be corrupt.

669
00:39:37,710 --> 00:39:40,750
Diane is like corruptible
corrupt.

670
00:39:40,750 --> 00:39:41,590
Died.
Yeah.

671
00:39:41,750 --> 00:39:47,830
Yeah.
So, I mean, you've heard bribing

672
00:39:47,830 --> 00:39:49,710
a state senator.
That's what's what happened.

673
00:39:49,790 --> 00:39:50,190
Yeah.
Yeah.

674
00:39:50,470 --> 00:39:52,270
I mean, it sounds awful and it
is.

675
00:39:52,310 --> 00:39:55,110
I mean, yeah, that that's
exactly what what happened here.

676
00:39:59,170 --> 00:40:01,210
So now she's what, like 20-3
Five?

677
00:40:01,770 --> 00:40:05,330
Yeah.
So there's this election coming

678
00:40:05,330 --> 00:40:06,810
up.
They decide to move on.

679
00:40:08,650 --> 00:40:11,090
Move on with this before the
election.

680
00:40:11,090 --> 00:40:17,970
Yeah, of course.
And in October, they're waiting

681
00:40:17,970 --> 00:40:12,930
outside of her house to nab her.
Because if she doesn't have any,

682
00:40:13,290 --> 00:40:15,130
they can't continue, so they
surveil.

683
00:40:20,530 --> 00:40:24,130
Yeah, grab her.
So she comes out and they rush

684
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:28,880
in and she's like very
surprised, sure, what's

685
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,200
happening.
And so they put the cuff on her,

686
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,880
they take her back into her
house and they start the search.

687
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,280
And she says, what is this
about?

688
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:47,600
And the FBI agent says, well,
let me just give you a name, You

689
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,240
know, the name.
Oh smart.

690
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:51,640
I was wondering if this would
happen.

691
00:40:53,610 --> 00:40:56,730
And she gives her the name of
the second undercover guy that

692
00:40:57,050 --> 00:40:59,530
the developer, the one, the
Parcel 8.

693
00:41:00,330 --> 00:41:07,530
And she goes, yeah.
And the FBI says he's an FBI

694
00:41:07,530 --> 00:41:14,010
agent.
And the FBI said in their report

695
00:41:14,050 --> 00:41:18,500
They go, you could see.
Like her eyes kind of get a

696
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:21,900
little bit bigger and you could
just see the wheels spinning.

697
00:41:21,900 --> 00:41:24,460
Like, what did I say?
What did I do?

698
00:41:24,460 --> 00:41:26,540
Where were we?
What?

699
00:41:26,540 --> 00:41:28,060
What happened?
How much money did I take?

700
00:41:28,340 --> 00:41:30,180
Did I take?
Exactly.

701
00:41:33,180 --> 00:41:36,460
And so the FBI goes, so we want
to talk about the ought.

702
00:41:38,260 --> 00:41:41,900
And she says, Oh yeah, I'd be
happy to talk to you about that

703
00:41:41,900 --> 00:41:43,580
just as soon as I talked to my
lawyer.

704
00:41:44,060 --> 00:41:48,560
Yes, yes.
So that end of that

705
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,400
conversation, she was arrested,
taken to jail.

706
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:59,400
Evidence response teams are
simultaneously searching her

707
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:07,920
office, of course, also her
campaign office and her home.

708
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,640
Like all three places, Every
place that she would potentially

709
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,580
have.
Exactly, yeah, information they

710
00:42:13,580 --> 00:42:16,340
are.
Also at City Hall at that exact

711
00:42:16,340 --> 00:42:23,020
same moment, going to talk to
Chuck Turner, Chucky, come on.

712
00:42:24,420 --> 00:42:29,700
And they ask him, do you know
the cooperating witness?

713
00:42:30,660 --> 00:42:33,460
Did did he ever pay you any
money?

714
00:42:35,060 --> 00:42:40,900
And they were all absolutely
very pointed direct questions.

715
00:42:45,100 --> 00:42:47,540
And the and the oh, and then
they also that was the other

716
00:42:47,540 --> 00:42:50,500
thing they go you know the you
know the guy we're talking about

717
00:42:50,500 --> 00:42:54,820
the one that slipped you $500.
That guy because remember he.

718
00:42:54,860 --> 00:42:58,100
Yeah, yeah, the handshake thing.
And he's.

719
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,760
Lately, flat out lies because I
have never in my life taken

720
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,640
money from anyone.
Oh yeah, I mean, that's a total

721
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,800
lie.
I I was thinking he he blatantly

722
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,640
lied about saying I don't
remember who he was because I've

723
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:16,880
done it so many times.
And this is all being

724
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,160
videotaped.
And he says, sure quote, I

725
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,600
didn't take any money from any
other developer or any other

726
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,600
person.
I don't need people's money to

727
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:32,650
do my job.
OK, well, we never said the word

728
00:43:32,650 --> 00:43:39,770
developer, but OK, that's OK.
You gave us extra like be as

729
00:43:39,930 --> 00:43:43,730
broad as you possibly can.
If you're caught in a lie, don't

730
00:43:43,770 --> 00:43:48,490
be super specific.
That's how you know so.

731
00:43:48,490 --> 00:43:51,330
About two weeks later, they
decide to arrest him and about 6

732
00:43:51,330 --> 00:43:54,090
FBI agents walk into his office
and he has his feet up on his

733
00:43:54,090 --> 00:43:55,810
desk and he's on the phone.
You know, I'm like.

734
00:43:56,350 --> 00:43:58,470
The typical Jr. bigwig.
Yes.

735
00:44:01,070 --> 00:44:03,430
And he looks over and he can
clearly see it's the FBI.

736
00:44:03,430 --> 00:44:06,470
They got those Blue Jackets with
the huge yellow letters on it.

737
00:44:06,470 --> 00:44:09,750
FBI, right.
And so he just keeps talking on

738
00:44:09,750 --> 00:44:12,870
the phone, looks away, ignores
him, just keep talking on his

739
00:44:12,870 --> 00:44:17,430
phone and they're just gonna
look at each other and they let

740
00:44:17,430 --> 00:44:21,150
him finish his call.
But he's being very

741
00:44:21,150 --> 00:44:24,390
disrespectful, very flippant to
the FBI.

742
00:44:24,470 --> 00:44:32,440
Very flippant.
And so, like they're saying you

743
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,640
know, you you're gonna get
arrested right now, I'm gonna

744
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,040
put the cuffs on you and you're
now, since you're being so

745
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:40,760
flippant, you're gonna get a
perp walk.

746
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:45,000
Oh, great.
So perp walk is, Yeah.

747
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,480
So perp walk is they're gonna
make sure everyone sees that you

748
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,000
are in handcuffs.
They're gonna walk you through

749
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,400
the office, the front doors,
right through the front.

750
00:44:54,790 --> 00:44:56,590
Yeah.
Everybody in the mother can see,

751
00:44:56,590 --> 00:45:00,470
yeah, so, like, so perp walk.
Like if they're doing that is to

752
00:45:00,470 --> 00:45:02,870
embarrass you and to try to
create some drama.

753
00:45:02,950 --> 00:45:05,310
Yeah.
If you cooperate and you go

754
00:45:05,310 --> 00:45:07,430
through, they'll be like, okay,
well, we'll bring you through

755
00:45:07,430 --> 00:45:08,350
the back.
Yeah, exactly.

756
00:45:08,350 --> 00:45:12,830
We'll put jacket over your hands
and yeah, make it less obvious,

757
00:45:12,830 --> 00:45:18,830
yeah.
So there's people outside

758
00:45:18,830 --> 00:45:21,030
because they they find out
what's going on.

759
00:45:21,030 --> 00:45:24,070
I'm not sure how this occurs,
but there's it's like people

760
00:45:24,070 --> 00:45:27,030
like protesters and stuff and
they're holding signs and it

761
00:45:27,030 --> 00:45:32,310
says we stand by Turner and
what's his crime?

762
00:45:32,310 --> 00:45:36,550
He fights for the people.
And Chuck, you need to

763
00:45:36,550 --> 00:45:40,630
investigate the FBI.
F the FBI, they're the liars.

764
00:45:40,630 --> 00:45:42,110
You know, we've all seen it
before.

765
00:45:42,350 --> 00:45:44,030
Sure, he has.
His crime.

766
00:45:44,270 --> 00:45:46,270
They're.
Heckling the FBI.

767
00:45:47,110 --> 00:45:49,910
They're calling the FBI racial
cleansers.

768
00:45:49,990 --> 00:45:51,830
Oh, yeah, OK.
I mean it's.

769
00:45:52,230 --> 00:45:55,590
Going off the rails.
So Chuck Turner gets expelled

770
00:45:55,590 --> 00:45:58,710
from Boston City Council,
Sentenced to three years in

771
00:45:58,710 --> 00:46:01,510
prison.
Serves 2, of course.

772
00:46:03,270 --> 00:46:07,990
And he was convicted of bribery,
500 bucks lying to the FBI.

773
00:46:08,190 --> 00:46:10,960
Got it on tape.
I mean, like, like the fact that

774
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,760
all he made was 500 and well,
I'm there.

775
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,440
They know he did before.
Yeah.

776
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:19,440
I don't have the proof of it.
And so he told tells the media

777
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,840
that he was in jail because of
political persecution and that

778
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,040
he was among the nation's most
respected civil right leaders.

779
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,000
Just like Rosa Parks.
Oh my God, Chucky.

780
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:33,460
No on tape.
Chucky, what are you thinking?

781
00:46:33,820 --> 00:46:35,340
So the FBI.
Responds with what?

782
00:46:35,340 --> 00:46:38,180
We particularly took great
offense with Mr. Turner's

783
00:46:38,180 --> 00:46:40,780
representations that he should
be compared to some national

784
00:46:40,780 --> 00:46:43,620
greatest civil rights heroes
such as Rosa Parks.

785
00:46:44,380 --> 00:46:47,740
Mr. Turner is no Rosa Parks.
He's convicted felon who took a

786
00:46:47,740 --> 00:46:50,300
bribe and then compounded that
offense by lying about it

787
00:46:50,300 --> 00:46:54,020
repeatedly.
And here are our receipts.

788
00:46:54,220 --> 00:46:58,020
Check out Chucky.
Chucky taking the bribe.

789
00:46:58,940 --> 00:47:03,970
So.
So the bond.

790
00:47:03,970 --> 00:47:08,730
So then she So Diane.
Yeah, good old Diane.

791
00:47:10,770 --> 00:47:14,410
All she cares about is herself.
So she she's getting a lot of

792
00:47:14,410 --> 00:47:16,570
pressure.
All of this crap that she did is

793
00:47:16,570 --> 00:47:19,250
on tape.
We got like. 10s of thousands of

794
00:47:19,250 --> 00:47:22,170
dollars recorded of her taking
my So she's like, OK, I think

00:47:22,170 --> 00:47:23,450
I'm gonna need to resign.

Hopefully invested it.

799
00:47:33,970 --> 00:47:36,730
She pleads guilty.
To 8 counts of extortion.

00:47:37,170 --> 00:47:43,250
Sentenced to 3 1/2 years, which

00:47:43,250 --> 00:47:45,410
years for.
Yeah, federal prison.

802
00:47:45,690 --> 00:47:48,410
For bribery. 3 1/2 years?
I don't know.

803
00:47:48,650 --> 00:47:54,050
I don't know.
Last year, Alicia, What year is

804
00:47:54,050 --> 00:47:57,490
this?
It's 2023, a last.

805
00:47:57,490 --> 00:48:01,290
Year, she announced.
She's running for Senator again.

806
00:48:01,770 --> 00:48:07,010
Girl Diane the balls.
Hey Diane, if you want to come

807
00:48:07,010 --> 00:48:09,440
on our podcast do you want to do
your?

808
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:10,520
Do you want to.
Yeah.

809
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,880
You want to get some hype on
your campaign?

810
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,440
Yeah, yeah.
Come come over, we'll talk,

811
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:22,280
we'll bring this stuff up.
We want to hear what you are

812
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:20,120
talking about, Diane.
But like also, we just want to

813
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,720
hear your.
We do.

814
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,440
Like, we won't even.
Like, we'll just highlight this

815
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:28,040
discussion.
Yeah.

816
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:31,000
Yeah, just like a quick promise
we won't bring it up.

817
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:38,940
We won't slip us $500.
We don't have any cameras under

818
00:48:38,940 --> 00:48:41,460
the table.
Yeah, not under the table, just

819
00:48:41,460 --> 00:48:48,300
above them exactly.
Pretty clear you're running for

820
00:48:48,300 --> 00:48:51,900
office, Diane.
Diane, what are you thinking?

821
00:48:53,140 --> 00:48:54,300
And this?
You know what?

822
00:48:54,980 --> 00:48:57,540
This goes out to all
politicians.

823
00:48:57,660 --> 00:48:58,740
Yes.
Stop.

824
00:48:59,020 --> 00:49:00,260
Just stop.
You're being held.

825
00:49:00,260 --> 00:49:04,630
To a higher standard, you should
be yes.

826
00:49:04,750 --> 00:49:07,590
You should be held to a higher
standard.

827
00:49:07,830 --> 00:49:13,230
Stop the buffoonery.
You guys are straight up fucking

828
00:49:13,350 --> 00:49:16,310
buffoons.
I get out of a buffoon too.

829
00:49:16,310 --> 00:49:20,350
But like, you guys are real the
the real OG buffoons.

830
00:49:20,630 --> 00:49:23,810
Like, here's another thing I was
thinking of while while you're

831
00:49:23,810 --> 00:49:26,890
telling me all this stuff that,
like, Diane was making happen

832
00:49:26,890 --> 00:49:29,170
where she's like, OK, let's
like, get the special counsel

833
00:49:29,170 --> 00:49:30,810
together, let's do this, Here's
another way to do it.

834
00:49:31,250 --> 00:49:34,890
Like you almost kind of have to
have that scheming, you know,

835
00:49:34,890 --> 00:49:38,930
thought process to get so far in
politics.

836
00:49:38,930 --> 00:49:40,250
You do?
And I don't.

837
00:49:40,330 --> 00:49:43,890
I don't look down upon that at
all.

838
00:49:43,890 --> 00:49:45,730
Because that's just the way you
get shit done.

839
00:49:45,770 --> 00:49:48,410
Yes, you have to, yes.
And you have to be able to bring

840
00:49:48,410 --> 00:49:52,410
people in and like, use them and
have them use you and be OK with

841
00:49:52,410 --> 00:49:54,610
that and not be offended but to
do.

842
00:49:54,610 --> 00:49:58,970
It get a buck in your pocket,
but that's F you agreed.

843
00:49:59,410 --> 00:50:01,330
Totally agreed.
But here's the thing.

844
00:50:01,450 --> 00:50:05,370
That kind of a personality is
just gonna do it no matter what.

845
00:50:05,890 --> 00:50:07,170
See that's.
The other thing too, because I

846
00:50:07,210 --> 00:50:10,810
feel like people go in, I feel,
and again, we're generalizing,

847
00:50:10,810 --> 00:50:14,130
but I feel like people go in
with all the best intentions,

848
00:50:14,130 --> 00:50:17,930
not all of them.
Someone go in shit heads right

849
00:50:17,930 --> 00:50:20,730
off the start, yeah, But some, I
feel like some go in with all

850
00:50:20,730 --> 00:50:27,410
the best intentions and through
they are corruptible, yes, and

851
00:50:27,410 --> 00:50:35,070
because it's so corrupted.
You get infected by that very

852
00:50:35,070 --> 00:50:39,310
easily and sometimes probably
they feel like they have no

853
00:50:39,310 --> 00:50:43,670
other choice.
But I will say you always have a

854
00:50:43,710 --> 00:50:46,550
choice.
Yeah, always.

855
00:50:46,590 --> 00:50:49,390
Yes, yes to do the.
Right thing.

856
00:50:49,470 --> 00:50:51,790
Even when no one's looking.
I do.

857
00:50:51,830 --> 00:50:53,310
Yeah.
I agree with you on that.

858
00:50:53,550 --> 00:50:56,390
It's very true.
Do I?

859
00:50:56,670 --> 00:51:02,140
Do we get the buffoonery?
Yes, But if we want the world

860
00:51:02,140 --> 00:51:05,420
to, like, move forward, if we
want to rise above all the

861
00:51:05,420 --> 00:51:10,020
bullshit and like the toxic
stuff that's going on, we have,

862
00:51:10,180 --> 00:51:15,660
we have to do the right thing.
When no one's looking like it,

863
00:51:15,660 --> 00:51:17,500
really, that is really what
matters.

864
00:51:17,500 --> 00:51:19,540
Everyone has.
To do that, yeah, absolutely.

865
00:51:20,460 --> 00:51:22,500
I was going to do a Kevin's
tangent.

866
00:51:23,500 --> 00:51:25,460
I was gonna close on a Kevin's
tangent.

867
00:51:25,460 --> 00:51:27,020
Oh my God, do you think I
should?

868
00:51:27,020 --> 00:51:31,180
Or should I just call it a day,
wind it up, you think?

869
00:51:31,180 --> 00:51:33,860
Let's hear it, Kevin.
Yes, I think I need to make a.

870
00:51:33,860 --> 00:51:38,340
Little Jingle like Kevin's
tangent or something like that.

871
00:51:38,340 --> 00:51:39,380
That's it.
That's the Jingle.

872
00:51:43,340 --> 00:51:49,220
OK, here's my tangent.
Yes, if you don't have checks

873
00:51:49,220 --> 00:51:56,420
and balances, I don't think.
You can honestly trust public

874
00:51:56,420 --> 00:52:00,620
officials.
And if you can't trust public

875
00:52:00,740 --> 00:52:08,380
officials, society will spiral.
They are and they should be held

876
00:52:08,380 --> 00:52:11,940
to higher standards and they
take an oath.

877
00:52:12,300 --> 00:52:14,300
And senators are public
officials.

878
00:52:14,540 --> 00:52:17,660
They have to be held to higher
standards.

879
00:52:17,660 --> 00:52:20,500
So when you hear all these news
reports about Senators.

880
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:24,200
Public officials, and they're
complaining about how corrupt

881
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,760
the FBI is.
I mean, really think about the

882
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:31,600
source of the complaint and the
reason for that complaint.

883
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:36,360
It's really easy for them to
say, oh, you know, I'm being

884
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,800
persecuted because of my race or
I'm being persecuted because of

885
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,640
my, I don't know, sexual
orientation or my political

886
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,720
party.
But why?

887
00:52:47,140 --> 00:52:49,980
Is it because, generally
speaking, as seems to be a

888
00:52:49,980 --> 00:52:52,700
constant few who say that
repeatedly?

889
00:52:52,700 --> 00:52:56,100
And if that was the case, then
the FBI would be making up fake

890
00:52:56,100 --> 00:53:00,780
allegations for all of the
senators in all of the parties

891
00:53:00,780 --> 00:53:04,940
that they didn't like.
And it would also be said that

892
00:53:04,940 --> 00:53:09,260
the Supreme Court is too corrupt
and untrustworthy to perform

893
00:53:09,260 --> 00:53:13,260
their duties without bias.
It's quite clear that they are

894
00:53:13,260 --> 00:53:16,020
when opinions are drawn down
political lines.

895
00:53:19,030 --> 00:53:21,910
But like, wait, you're kind of
tangent there.

896
00:53:21,910 --> 00:53:26,470
Sorry, I digress.
If the FBI says you've broken

897
00:53:26,470 --> 00:53:30,590
the law, then.
I think you need to trust me

898
00:53:30,590 --> 00:53:32,430
when I say you've broken the
law.

899
00:53:32,870 --> 00:53:35,350
Like they didn't just make it
up.

900
00:53:35,790 --> 00:53:44,470
And if by chance, let's just say
by chance they have or they do.

901
00:53:45,140 --> 00:53:50,740
Then you can also trust me that
it will and would come to light.

902
00:53:50,980 --> 00:53:55,380
Yeah, too much scrutiny, too
much public eyes on these types

903
00:53:55,380 --> 00:53:57,020
of things, with these types of
people.

904
00:53:58,180 --> 00:54:00,860
And just because you say
something is the other thing

905
00:54:01,180 --> 00:54:04,100
doesn't make it true, right?
Yeah, I know it's very true.

906
00:54:04,860 --> 00:54:12,300
So.
Again, boils down to just be a

907
00:54:12,300 --> 00:54:17,730
good human being, have morals.
Have respect for each other and

908
00:54:17,730 --> 00:54:22,090
just always do the right thing,
even when no one's looking.

909
00:54:22,090 --> 00:54:28,450
And if everybody did that, it
would just be peachy and scene

910
00:54:28,810 --> 00:54:29,850
and.
Scene.

911
00:54:32,130 --> 00:54:36,330
So that's my corruption story.
I'm thinking I might do a series

912
00:54:36,330 --> 00:54:38,570
of like pink color crimes or
something.

913
00:54:38,570 --> 00:54:40,690
Pink color.
What's pink color?

914
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,360
Doesn't have to be women's
crimes, but it's typically,

915
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:54,200
well, it is nonviolent, very
kind of unaggressive, unassuming

916
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:41,610
crimes.
Pink color is.

917
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,000
Can we?
If people do, can we wear pink?

918
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:02,640
Yes.
So this is kind of.

919
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:04,920
Like in a pink color crime?
Yeah, I kind of call it so.

920
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:06,480
I love it.
OK, so more of.

921
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:07,880
These to come?
Maybe, yes.

922
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:09,840
Thank you so much for sharing.
Sure.

923
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:11,600
And it's really important.
Sorry, don't vote.

924
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,090
For Diane.
Yeah, Diane girl.

925
00:55:14,130 --> 00:55:16,370
Sorry, girl.
Can't.

926
00:55:16,370 --> 00:55:19,130
Can't do it.
I mean like we need to just have

927
00:55:19,170 --> 00:55:23,090
a monitor on you at all times.
Exactly, if you are taking

928
00:55:23,090 --> 00:55:26,150
money.
Give it to a charity.

929
00:55:26,150 --> 00:55:28,950
Give it right.
Give it to children who need

930
00:55:28,950 --> 00:55:30,710
fucking school supplies or
something.

931
00:55:30,830 --> 00:55:33,350
Like, yes, exactly.
You can be a criminal and a

932
00:55:33,350 --> 00:55:34,990
savior.
Yeah, things can be true.

933
00:55:34,990 --> 00:55:38,190
OK, Robin Hood.
Hello.

934
00:55:38,270 --> 00:55:39,870
Exactly.
Stole from the rich.

935
00:55:39,870 --> 00:55:42,430
Gave to the poor.
That's what you could do, Diane.

936
00:55:42,670 --> 00:55:45,790
That should be, that should be
like your your motto.

937
00:55:45,790 --> 00:55:46,950
Well, that's some good motto.
Yeah.

938
00:55:47,150 --> 00:55:48,750
OK.
Well, thanks for again for

939
00:55:48,750 --> 00:55:49,990
joining me today.
Thank you.

940
00:55:50,070 --> 00:55:51,190
All right, I'll talk to you
soon.

941
00:55:51,230 --> 00:55:51,750
Talk to you soon.
