Because there was evidence, videotape evidence of Joe Biden talking about Burisma and Hunter Biden, his son, and prosecuting, firing the prosecutor or he's going to withhold a billion dollars of federal money, U.S. money to Ukraine. That's probable evidence.
Perhaps probable cause of a crime, but it's at least reasonable enough for the chief law enforcement officer, the president, to ask this guy, would you look into it? That's all he did, and they impeached him over it. So now I'm on hold. But when it looked like I was coming out, I was literally transferred out of my camp, and they said, you're going home, Trump's sending you out, sending you home.
I had to go back. Understandably, Trump did the right thing for political purposes. The White House did. But they put me back in the kitchen. One of the cops there felt like, who's this guy think he is? Some special inmate? Because the president almost pulled him out. We're going to show this asshole. He ain't no big deal. They put me back in the kitchen at 4 o'clock in the morning.
You got to be there. You wake up at 3.30, washing pots and pans for eight hours a day. They called me the governor of the dish pit.
Yeah. So that paid $5.25 a month. That's so crazy. But here's what I'd like to do. I want to be successful, make money. If things are good, have a best-selling book, maybe God willing, who knows.
I'd like to meet your guy Rick Ross and others, and I'd like to have a foundation that actually does something meaningful, like maybe some sort of vocational training, culinary training for inmates who are coming home, have no opportunities to learn a skill that they don't teach in prison, but they should.
Yeah. You'll help me get a hold of him? Yes, absolutely. I feel like that's my calling. I feel I should do that.
You want to hear a real cynical thing about the Democratic Party? Don't forget, I was a Democratic governor. I was the first one to endorse Obama. I supported Nancy Pelosi in the House, okay?
No.
Oh, it's so good. You're kidding. Yeah.
That is really, really interesting.
Because she doesn't have the inside information she has.
I got you.
In any event, we were talking about what? Criminal justice reform? Yes. Oh, and the black community in particular, and the cynical part of the Democrat Party. And it really started from a guy from this area here in Austin, Texas named Lyndon Johnson. And there were so many good things about his Great Society programs, but he was motivated by politics.
Yes, there's poor people that we must help, but it wasn't just that. He said, this will ensure that we get the end vote for a whole generation. We'll get the end vote. He didn't say it like that. He said the whole word, right? And that's how the Democrats have approached the black community ever since.
And it's, yes, we'll help only so much, but we're not going to give the tools or the means to be able to have the same kind of...
chance at opportunity in the economy where you can actually get up and get out of the neighborhood, get out of the hood, get out of the poverty, and join the middle class, you know, have a business, those sorts of practical things that most everywhere else in America, we have those chances, but ironically, not in the black community, because the Democrats don't want to leave.
They cannot afford to lose 90 to 95% of a safe vote for them if they're free.
Because of the politics. And the old Republican Party, they were fine with it. Just let the black community be where it is. Let the Democrats have all those votes. And we'll just scare the shit out of white suburbanites. Tell them that those gangbangers on the south side of Chicago are coming out to your suburb. Right? And they get votes that way. Trump is a very different guy.
And he's rebuilding this Republican Party. It's a political realignment. And he got more black votes than any Republican candidate's gotten since 1976. He's still a long way from it.
