They cited deliberative process, which essentially means opinions, recommendations, 104 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 9: or conversations that are part of policy making or coming 105 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,559 Speaker 9: to a decision.

Her office said it was 121 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 9: redacted because it was a policy making document. But what 122 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 9: does knowing the dress code have to do with Harris 123 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 9: County policies?

As 196 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: of this morning, we had five thousand openings. A bay 197 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: with a lift and tools and no one to work 198 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: in it. One hundred and twenty thousand dollars a job 199 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: a year, but it takes you five years to learn it. 200 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 13: The essential economy. We are in trouble in our country. 201 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 13: We are not talking about this enough. We have over 202 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 13: a million openings in critical jobs, emergency services, trucking, factory workers, plumbers, 203 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 13: electricians and tradesmen is a very serious thing. 204 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: Or we do not have trade schools. 205 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 13: We are not investing in educating a next generation of 206 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 13: people like my grandfather who had nothing, who built a 207 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 13: middle class life and a future for his family. Those 208 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 13: jobs are out there. Mechanics in a Ford dealership. As 209 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 13: of this morning, we had five thousand openings a bay 210 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 13: with a lift and tools and no one to work 211 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 13: in it. 212 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? 213 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 13: Oh, one hundred and twenty thousand dollars a job a year, 214 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 13: but it takes you five years to learn it. Take 215 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 13: a diesel out of a super duty. It takes a 216 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 13: lot of skill. You need to know what you're doing. 217 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 13: And God forbid we ever get in a war. Google's 218 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 13: not gonna be able to make the tanks and the planes. 219 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 13: So this is a self defense for our country issue. 220 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 13: But how I think about it is if we work 221 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 13: together like we always have in America, we shine a 222 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 13: light on the problem and we start getting people together 223 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 13: like we did it accelerate here in Detroit, like minded 224 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 13: people with similar problems. Roger Pence, you lots about the CEOs, 225 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 13: and we get after this with the government with education. 226 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 13: I think we can solve this. But we have a 227 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,839 Speaker 13: lot of work to do. And I'm very humbled and 228 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 13: late in my life, these jobs gave me the ability 229 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 13: to go through Guidchat school, and we are in deep 230 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 13: trouble when you compare us to China. 231 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 9: Now you've made moves at Ford to kind of follow 232 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 9: the Henry Ford. 233 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: I do see this problem and I think it's a 234 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: serious one. It's an education problem. It's also a cultural problem. 235 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: I think that for so long, even people in the 236 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: trades who made a good living, maybe built their own 237 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: company plumbing, electrical, mechanical, but they wanted that the sign 238 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: the impromoter of success, and that was that you wear 239 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: a suit when you go to an office and you 240 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: have a college to go. And so once that person 241 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: does that, they don't think they should ever use their 242 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: hands again. So I spoke to the Independent Electrical Contractors 243 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: Association a few years ago. The guys at pool wires 244 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: for non union electrical electrical jobs, and it was the 245 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: graduating class, and they were I don't remember forty guys there, 246 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: thirty eight of them guys, two women, let's say, and 247 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: seventy percent of them more Hispanic first generation families. I don't. 248 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: I guess white kids think they just shouldn't do jobs 249 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: like this. I don't you get a four year degree 250 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: and what are you going to do separately? If this 251 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: does not make you think of Tawny Katain, then you've 252 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: probably seen the freckle on pete butter gigs left buttchee. 253 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: I mean, if that does not revenue of for Tony Katain, 254 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what.

There is so much 292 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 1: goodwill because his songs have meant so much to people. 293 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: When I hear Robert Earl.

I got to tell you, there's nothing wrong 300 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: speaking of David Coverdale and White Snake, there's nothing wrong 301 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: with the aging artists continuing to perform. A lot of 302 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: people love to say he needs retire. They said that 303 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: about Brett Farv. No, maybe you need to retire as 304 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: a fan. If people are willing to pay for the ticket, 305 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: why do why don't you just not buy a ticket? 306 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: Why is it important to you? Well, it's going to 307 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: ruin his legacy. That is the dumbest thing ever. What's 308 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: your legacy? Just out of curacy, what's your legacy? Because 309 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 1: whatever it is, you're ruining it with this stupid statement. 310 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: When Farv came out of retirement and they said, oh, 311 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna be terrible, It's gonna be terrible, It's gonna 312 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: be terrible. Well, first of all, the jets were interesting 313 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: for the first time in a while. And then he 314 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: went to the Vikings and damned if he didn't almost 315 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 1: get him back to the super Bowl, and he was 316 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: having fun. The team decided he gave them the best 317 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: chance of winning, and that's really the only person that matters. 318 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: That and the fans and fans we're excited to see him, 319 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: except for Packers fans, and that's only because he's good. 320 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: I've never understood this desire to tell people you know, 321 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: I want you. I want you to be someone I 322 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: really like and I'm a big fan of. But the 323 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: second you hit a certain age, I want you to 324 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: just go away and your life doesn't matter, because you're 325 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: really just a commodity to me. It would be better 326 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: if I could be wistful for you ever coming back, 327 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: But you don't come back. That's stupid. I mean, that 328 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: kind of logic is just stupid. Anyway. I don't I 329 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: don't see a problem with these old rockers getting up there. 330 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: I don't think rockers today will be doing that. I 331 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: love that Coverdale's up at seventy four years old, prancing 332 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 1: around or kiss or Mick Jagger for that matter. But 333 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 1: what people get a kick out of is they're up 334 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: there in leather and they stay skinny.
