You're listening to the dollar
American history, podcast devil. Each week I drink or from mugs poppy owner lover of the sandwiches
giant David, really testing well with the crowd David Anthony REACH, a story from american whose true to his friend Gareth Reynolds, who has no idea what the top
because going to be about.
Seventeen ninety seven
New York native John Young surveys,
area out west in seventeen. Ninety six than purchased it from the Western Reserve Land Come
And settled their way where we settle around here.
Soon. He established young town. I.
That was a different reaction that when I, when I said oh h, yap different not as into it.
Coal was discovered, God, Almighty,
so it's gonna be a long night.
go is discovered early in the nineteenth century
Canal and the railroad railroad were made to transport it. Youngster became a steel town.
by MID century was all happening. Immigrants poured into feel jobs. The steel industry grew and grew
The area around young town became known as my honing counting
What what are you doing in eighteen, forty, six ma hunting is a native american word for SALT Lake SALT Lake? Ok, you know I'm aware, let's name at that
TED, so direct quote. It won't get better than this. Let's stop there. Why contained
brainstorming, we ve hit it out of the park.
between the nineteen twenties. Nineteen thirty's young town became an industrial hub. Still males ran twenty four seven and stretched as far as the eye
could see. She's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful black skies, lovely beautiful view immigrants poured in for jobs, poles, Greeks, Italians, Slovaks, I'm sorry throwing shade at the Slovaks I dunno. It reminds me of this lease tax from the land of the lost.
Just a word, I dunno what the hell you're talking about anymore, I'm in the land of the last person here is over eighty like me and they got it. Other people are looking me up and never listening again.
And with the immigrants came the criminals who took advantage of the lungs towns
its refilled after hours joins the steelworkers got drunk and the cap owes ran the numbers. Youngster was very small compared to Detroit or Chicago, which meant it didn't have a mob family of it.
It is sad, I think, that's an erosion as of now imagine your town is so shit that you can't get a mob
Along until people are just running for MOB Madame's Gregg, I'm running for the mob, please vote for me. I can do
Gimme a given new gimme a money abroad lacking so I run garbage but good here.
About the nineteen. Fifty rob markets were rough maquettes, mob rackets, man
there's a guy named Rob MAC, it's a yet. What do you mean? I don't do anything with the mob made Madame's Rob Robbie, reckless Robbie Beckett's.
It's not it's hard, it's not easy, but that in fifties mob.
we're pulling in millions and millions of dollars. The Pittsburgh and clearly in Cleveland Mafias, began to fight over control of youngsters. Ok, there were bombings, call
start, which became so common that a young town radio station ran a public service, add with the sound of a bomb going off
and the slogan stop the bomb.
By the way, if you
the town that is known for, bombings and
here, just listening to the radio one day
and there's no radio and a palm goes off. I don't think you're like. What's this commercial for you're, like fuck
Boss youngster began getting nicknames
ok, murder, town, USA, let's at the beach boy
recorded
let's go over there. We got it murder,
town, USA, little shit.
I'll go last. What
Then the salary Saturday evening posed ruddy story about the city and called it crime, town, a u s a, but they just ripped off murdered town USA, but that one stuck let it go
Oh, the young stout area exemplifies the truism that rackets cannot survive without two basic conditions: the sanction of the police and politicians and an apathetic public public as
here. Those conditions have combined to produce a breakdown of the democratic process. Buffoons and incompetent succeed to important civic posts.
Jesus Christ. They went what years this from the fifty ok
visuals hobnob openly with criminals. Arrests racketeers are rare convictions rare still. She.
Perhaps items is almost unheard of, my god. What it's just imagine, even at o, Neil
actor from Mary with Georgia. A modern family is only up.
grew up. I know your ass out Bundy, I know arrive as well, but I love it. I love every minute of it. I think
Might know more about this subject than you do he grew up in Youngstown.
Document Iranian of shit when jokes are facts.
He said quote: everyone knew was gangsters killing gangster stirs, so no one was to outraged about it. Ok, all right at least part of the game, like that's the game, their plan,
in the game. Yeah there's the rules of the game, they kill each other and everyone's like yeah. That's what you're doing and it's one really weird role. It's a fight
dub rule, but it's a rule gate Bob Kroner was sent to Youngstown as an f b I agent in nineteen seventy six. He had to fill the position of the previous F B. I agent, who was taking money from the mob and then became the chief of police.
it's a great job, though right yeah yeah kroner, however, was not corrupt when he arrived. That is going to be an issue for the position he's not great,
not a great for the whole town right
when he arrived, a full mob war broke out on one side was Joey Naples and Lenny Streusel from Pittsburgh. Okay and on the other side, were Cleveland's, caribbean brothers, known as Charlie, the crab and Orly. The crab is just dynamite dynamite, the crab brothers,
I hope they walked around sideways just doing the crab lock. What.
What's a man, what do you look at it? You never see the correct
brother.
yeah. That's it Claude Charlie. You better watch out dumb ass, I'm coming from you, but
Eyes are above my head: you dumb ass little, this guy he's gotta
shit. Let's get out of here we're going back to the ocean year. You dump fucks, you gotta, go.
sleep on rocks, put sand over ourselves to peep, can't tell where we are predators and what not later so. First a guy named spider got whack.
was he in the bathroom shower drain?
spider. Next, it was peeps,
apes, who's gonna do that they put

yeah, but it's just that. No, no! I can find a name on the work and allow all know I'm way I'll, nickname, hey my name's Billy Billy Hole
head. They found John Magda wrapped in a dump in tape, so they take them up around his face. I couldn't breathe.
A bookie was bombed which he survived, and then he was shot through his window. While I was watching Tv Jesus Christ, then
We D rose, got killed in kroner, kept track of it all entailed cars and tap phones. He was not like the previous FBI agent Lenny Straddle called him quote a mother fucker.
right now youngster was now these second steel producing city in the world on Friday September. Sixteen nineteen, seventy seven! U S! Steel announced record profits. Nice bow
baby? Then on Monday the company announced they would be closing the younger town Campbell works because they were quote not profitable. But the remember when you said that the more money money, even larger profits
at people right, the. U a w president said quote the whole life of Youngstown is being thrown aside for the sake of profit. Can imagine that'd be so weird, so who's ever heard of such a thing know the day would become known as black Monday over the next six months. Fifty thousand lost their jobs. Four hundred businesses that relied on workers' money were gone. Four hundred and fourteen million in personal income gone another mob was in a different place after the factories closed. That's when the mob really started telling politicians what to do
Kay by the way, Klondiker last, no, no, no! No, no! You don't fuck it
West Coast teams losing in here I can it.
you're fuckin. Oh h, you show me some respect.
Jim trafficking was born in nineteen forty one interesting. He was a hot as star high school quarterback. We,
she's, it's over their age. If eating
That on the podcast went on like this, he share that was you dated him right here
as more so he was big. He was big as shit in Youngstown. He played every week in front of thousands was like ten or twelve thousand people go to the games, the high school games, sure, and then he went to the University of Pittsburgh play with guys like MIKE Ditka sure, but he never played in the pros. So after Jim went back to school and got a master's from Pittsburgh, and then he got a master's from Youngstown state. Jim Traficant is not a dumb man he's a very smart man right, yeah weren't ready for that warrior. He taught courses on drug and alcohol dependency. Then he became executive.
Director of the IMF, honing County drug programme and nineteen. Seventy one ok seems nice rain, saying and doing something for the people yeah. But whenever you advocate for someone it just means you're about to stab me.
He was well known around town because of the football days a bit of a celebrity. He was also very charismatic and a great speaker, okay and then in eighteen. Ninety, one, no nineteen, eighty one ow what I say you said at a time where he's not from doc. We did it to the.
In eighteen, ninety one he appeared
appeared in young stand on the side of a river. Jim was the first time traveller
You didn't know where this is go under,
Tell you what I love the new direction.
I'm going to know a lot about this.
Anyone Jim ran for sheriff. Ok, there's a democratic.
party leader who everyone had to go through to get elected right hand. I that's the last day my nose first name dragged out here.
Was a mob lawyer mob lawyer, a drank a court
those every day. Only shit so good amount, but always got the job done. You mean getting drunk.
At once- and I literally said in an interview, quote, everyone takes money from the mob all right. Well, there you go that's good and he did not like Jim, because Jim did not kiss his ring
Okay, now Jim was doing the walking tall thing, which was a movie, a movie that starred Joe Don Baker and a who was a sheriff who took on the bad guys in town while carrying a giant stick you've seen the picture I just got. It looks like a bat, but it's a fucking giant. Stick he's taking out the bad guys with a stick, his walks around with it and kick some ass, big stick and just beats criminals: okay, nope nowhere.
Jim started talking a big game against them up at a press conference, he said quote the mob should get a youngster town. I am still
thing on my own and I'm afraid I'm frightened of what I'm facing. But if
One in my family gets hurt or even lose a job, I'm going to come after those people physically can kind of challenging the mob too
yeah, but and also in a way, that's not really about anything other than his own life. That's right
If I'm the sheriff, I will take care of my family guy. That's a promise.
The crime rate in my family has skyrocketed if any bag.
it touches? My family are Killop Jim trafficked for sheriff eighteen. Ninety one hand he said
but I think we need to show Jim Traficant that we don't live in Nazi Germany. So obviously he's on the side of the Mafia, Jesus man, Jim, did received threats and so did his family, but he's still kept running for sheriff. Okay, Jim seemed a bit crazy, but he was very smart quote. He would give some outrageous quote
and that would lead the news every time for a reporter writing it up. It was all gobbledygook and didn't make sense, except for the three lines he threw at the tv station it's time for black. Let's do it welcome church and off my ipad that that'll make it hard. I think you can keep your ipad on it's nice. To finally, have my pants off, like you were saying,
the people. If you're listening, there's around the world than eight thirty blackouts positive for an hour turn out the lights turn out your city in we ve city done it here in the theater, and you thought it was a good idea. I did. I still do what you can read, thus making sure people can see you.
I'm not doing anything he so chimps are attacking hat, and I and the Democratic Party for being crop then said he would fix everything he became the people's candidate, but at the same time Jim was taking money.
just as there are a lot of parallels, I'm feeling right now mean nothing, but the same to this
at the time Jim was taking money from the mob. As a matter of fact, he was taking money from both the Pittsburgh MOB.
and the Cleveland MOB nice play on both sides outside from what I've seen and films that never ends badly.
Adam against each other. We ll win. It would to take money from
I didn't say I'll help. You start the their money from the other. Is that nobody most of my family and he won the election? Okay.
So Jim is now share of my honing county and he did the whole walking tall fair. He went on drug rates, he raided the outlaws biker gang where they found a machine gun which Jim made sure that the cameras got him holding. Can I give point out that there was a time when, if you found a machine gun on someone,
It was like: woe like it wasn't. Like always a citizen.
it was like holy shit. What are you going to do with this? Instead of being like this
what George Washington wanted me to have the.
And yes, I'm in a dance is
no joy short stack pancakes. It's a mags with a rifle.
I like uzis and generally work at our say, Laszlo Jellia about tells the little Uzi my breakfast table.
Jim would make sure the cameras are always there. He would go knock on the
Alone to do a dry grade so so
as for hours and real showman still fall on. Reality show stuff right, but its biggest move. What happened when it came time to foreclose on people's houses, the sheriff had to sign the foreclosure deeds and he refused to do it. So he was brought before the judge on ten counts of refusing to sign deeds. He's brought to the judge for not signing it is it's his legal job to sign,
Closure deeds, and if he doesn't, I can't foreclose okay. Well, it feels like he's the decision maker. Then yeah. Ok, he said he wouldn't do it because it was destroying lives and destroying neighborhoods. So the judge sentenced him to ten days for each of the deeds. So he's got one hundred days in jail. Okay, he made sure was all filmed the courtroom being handcuffed, the lock to the jail.
EL, the finger printing him standing, Amerika jail, uniform modeling,
So Jim is now close to a God and youngster. Ok, he eventually agreed to sign the deeds address some time in jail,
the rest of his sentence was suspended in Jim said, quote, I'm very proud! I went to jail in youngster.
Yeah, I'm illegally, all that we can also that
the Youngstown, you should spend some time in the jail, but if you like
rating around as a hero, because you're going to lose that that science may guarantee oh hi.
It's me over here.
you say that, then you should serve your hundred days. This is now what it's just like. Listening to the five zero people have to that
our messages, like do weirdos voices.
But if so, you parade around being like I'm a deserve a hundred days and you're the people's champion, and then you like serve eight hours. You like I did it.
Outside people. Listening Davis got up on a visual gag.
Oh, my God
reporting us.
They were regarding data, so a
Why
you are
I feel a jury foster, and now the Tibetan earns the somber. She does the two kinds of
I think that everyone she did. I like those like that attitude hours of adjusting
I feel like I was in the hole for thirty days. I feel like a Jim Traficant Charlie, the crab. Oh finally, thank God disappear.
What under the sea.
No one knows what happened. No one knows what happened. The Charlie. The grounds is gone. Fbi.
Aegean Kroner was searching a mob hitman apartment when he found some tapes in a breadbox stuff is ain't bread.
then some stale bread is kind of bread.
What are you guys? Eaten tape, sandwiches yeah yeah, that's it we take burgers yeah, don't touch them
Gone it ain't, Charlie,.
Kroner, listen to the deep. It was the crab brothers talking to Jim traffic. It turns out the crab. Brothers did not trust Jim, so they tape the meeting.
Is that bad, where you don't trust the sheriff and it's bad on a number of levels for sure when you don't trust the sheriff and you're in the mob, and also what
The sheriff at an FBI agent just found incriminating evidence in some white bread, Zagreb.
kroner, then found another tape in the crabs sisters, safe deposit box in a crescent, real pastry theme. These guys on those tapes, Jim said quote
so he's talking to the crab brothers. I am a loyal fucker, I'm a wet, loyal, flocking. Ok, so he fucks Lloyd's,
Even the loyal family- yes, I am a loyal fucker and my loyalty is here and now we ve got a set up the business that they ve run for all these fucking years and swing that business over to you and that's what your concern is. That's why you financed me- and I endorse.
and that Dave did someone write this down for him to say that is as incriminating as it could possibly be. That is just every word of that is necessary to incriminate yourself perfectly yeah and I'll. Do it for you guys, because of Jim Traficant,
now, let's counted out one to the core,
brothers had given Gemma hundred and three thousand to protect their rackets and shut down the Pittsburgh mobs rackets sure
im said: if any of the do infinity of his deputies betrayed the crab brothers quote: they'll fuckin
Come up. Swimming in them are honing river.
And this is again as the sheriff who shares York. I just wanted to clarify that one last time.
oh I must refer to serve to strengthen the crab, still live him. He went.
God what just happened? I really Marianna Rollercoaster overthrow. The crab disappears later, Sir, like.
Get investigative. Now, yup, that's a mistake. Hey everybody.
areas, disabilities back what's up.
Charlie. You do don't worry about a thing. I'm gonna be five forever now than a back.
Sorry to worry you now I'll, never go away again. That's a promise, Charlie to crab. You can lock it
it's my claw. I think figures be room when I say we hate you with a mug. What boastful
a sip like a king like a loyal fucker, so.
So try the crab was actually worried about gems loyalty because little will that ever come back into play when he knew that Jimmy
sixty thousand from the Chicago MOB, who is now double crossing? Jimmy then gave some of the money from the Chicago MOB gave him to travel.
Crash in what to prove he was loyal to them. But what no and said the day he became sheriff, he would use some of the money they Pittsburgh MOB. I've given tomb to rest them for bribery, ok, wait!
just tired, so it's a pastry. Is it it's the Pittsburgh MOB that he's playing against the crabs, the crabs or Cleveland? Okay right Pittsburgh is one of the guys named Lenny right. The stroller stroller is a straw.
Why our stroller stroller sorry so he's like Spanish. So that's great, so he is like no, of course, I'm with you guys I'll take some of the bribe money. They gave me and gave it to you
Trade exaggerating shaded here: how could anybody not go for that not seem school, so I one point in the tapes Jim realize
How amazing is plan was quote if you think about it. If I fucking did that Charlie interrupted him, you could run for governor and then they all laugh. She says
FB agent, Kroner met Jim and asked him if he was conducting an investigation into the mob and Jim said no, no, and then he asked if he knew the crabs. No, no. He asked him if he had ever met the crowd, never met him, though, and then Cook Kroner played the tape. Well I mean, oh, you mean me to meet them. Yeah I met them. Yeah
Yeah, if you have tapes yeah, I met him. You wouldn't tell me you had tapes before that and I met them. Yes, I've met them yeah. That's us yeah yeah, so I dunno. What any other questions? I guess? Can you stop that tape
Who did you go through some bread what's going on over here? How did you get those? Did you look at the breadbox.
M slumped and said he didn't want to hear anymore. He admitted to taking the money and then he signed a confession, but for some reason Jim thought once he confessed, he would get to remain sheriff. So Jim Jim really didn't look up. What is job
was to my child is just sort of like so just sort of like the leader of everyone right as those works. I just think it was
will corrupt that he was like yeah, you do a thing, he'd get yeah and then you're find yeah slap on the wrist boom boom boom. I'm back with the Krebs, love it
he figured it. I think you figured, he was elected, so sure, yeah well, I'll tell you! That's not incorrect!.
But then he was told he would have to resign and he said quote: do it you have to do and I'll do what I have to do yet
No, we're firing you, so I don't know what the fuck threat that is get out.
He later told they local. Reporter quote. All those people trying to put me in jail can go fuck themselves. So he's sir
switched.
on August, eighth and nineteen. Eighty two, the forty one year old, sheriff, surrendered to the F b I for taking one hundred and sixty three thousand from the mob. He faced twenty three years, Jim held a press conference in a white suit and said he would continue to act as the sheriff until someone came and removed him interesting. What I'm going to do is dress like an angel and push back. That's not the time for the press conference. I hope everyone's cool with that that'll be my move. I'm going to just like the colonel from Kentucky Fried Chicken and say I'm still the sheriff. That's what I'm planning on doing. So
but it s, notes now's. The time passed, the plane, sorry white suit us the plane ride Venezuelan either he's a part to play
It has to play delicious passively
right. Ok, yeah! I didn't sort of now that we're sorry, I'm sorry! No! No! No! I deserve what did he always wear white suits? Yes, they both did. They both did. It was
magic. Ireland was fast and if you please have come through so that it can then show is about it wasn't about. If it wasn't about, was it about fantasies community,
go there and then your fantasy comes true. What if you're fantasy was that those two weirdos weren't dressed in white, suits that arrive at that? That might happen. Sometimes they just up different ways
but there is one thing: you know what you just go to Fantasy Island and then you're a fantasy would happen.
There is a new personal because their hard from the description, others they want to happen. Well, I mean
It's me out. A bigger was like the law
it's the island or anything. I thought it was just like you know, there's a lot of fun stuff happening here. It's like a fantasy, it depends on you. We couldn't go there and, like I want to fuck buffaloes like there was a live out. So okay limit well well! Well! Well, those plot thickened, so some Buffalo
There's got to sit in the closet, for another decade is a totally different gets an island built or some archipelago where you can have is way with wild beasts.
it's a different Ireland, its off the girl, what they call that give me it's coordinates called.
it's called mammal fucker. I welcome do men.
Fucker island
Show me your cheetahs.
Well, the dolphin I retired, to the main lab. Yes, a blanket tighter, thank you so before the trial
held more press conferences, probably good ones right. Yet here one, he said the F B. I faked the evidence and gave him a false statement to sign her. He said he
it was fake, but he it anyway because he thought it would help the FBI's probe of the mob.
So he is really about Adrian thinking. Well, make sense,
Now it does, if you don't think about it, a kind of makes sense. He said called the ethics of the FBI.
Are now going to be on trial, those guys again, Jim then
Tried to get arrest warrants for ten FBI agents, as is I mean look. I don't wanna just state how so
alert as to what's happening in our country right fucking now, but it'll trump just hear about this guy was like that'll. Do I have no idea where your turtle playground? Let's just do that as a goal. Could we have no idea what you're talking about? Can we just do that? Let's just do that. Jim wanted to charge the chief F B, I agent with intimidation yeah, because he was asking me a lot of questions
The FBI chief said quote: we don't run from the mob and we don't run from Ding Dong sheriffs either.
That was a bird, my white suit, but I'm not a day going. You you're, dingoes shit come on GM, come up with a per capita he's sure sure Ding Dong, that's adieu,
Well, hey, that's what also hating gone Doorbell for sheriff, which camera.
Hey I'm here to fuck Buffalo
you're, not a cop or anything. I you with my dick, the out of I was.
Potentially, totally a possibility, I guess it is youngster so anyway, this is your buffalo
oh yeah, merely by the way, don't try to rip it. It's fur, it's not a guy in a suit so just go out at though its array
buffaloes rare, it's like rubber on
feel rubber hook, hey quit stared at it, so much heavier way, welcomed a mammal, Fucker Island. Just do it! It's a guy! That's my brother down.
liar! It's my job
Whatever they want, I put on the suit yeah
I used to be the sheriff, then that crazy, that's on funny.
Jim men said he had been
his own personal sting the entire time. This guy is just dynamite.
Of reveals that aren't happening.
another plot was, I am
If the I one was your mind is blown okay, he ran for sheriff quote to impregnate the mob. That's right! You know what I'm going to do get in. There had my way they have babies,
The three steered plan: ok, you know how hard it is to impregnate the mob. That's right and by the way terms I got em. Ok, do you no harm
was to appropriate the mob infiltrated. My wife. At the same time I filed candidacy papers for the
sheriff, and then I met everybody Susan, that's how hard it was a pretty subordinate
Is he now? Is he like thinking of these before he says he's just kind of learning about now? I think that he is as it goes along. Just
It's with things he's basically throwing everything against a wall right, so so he says he had to take money to become accepted right. That's why I took the hundreds, well they're, not going to think you're a legit, corrupt asshole. Unless you play that role, that's right and this matched the tapes quote. I took the money so on. I became the fucking sheriff I'll. Stop this fucking organized racketeering in Mahoney County. The swearing isn't helping his case too much for professionalism, yeah, some believed
His personal investigation was pretty smart. Who are these people? The Jim said he said he had. This is not a sentence.
Jim said, as sheriff he was going to take down the mob. He was playing the long game, so he said the whole time he was running. The whole plan was to become sheriff. Take them down yet hand. I couldn't take it. He printed up transcripts of the phone calls then gave them out to anyone who would
Take the gay he spent thousands of dollars printing up transcripts. He said they were quote the
the wings of a lunatic? At one point hand I held talk to the news and said quote: J
I think that perhaps you ought to go to a hospital and have your blood checked, because I think that you are in
its suspect weight.
no gonna help help no good guys. So,
good guy story. What did he call them and AIDS?
Thus back that's right. That's right
What are the suspects.
crime is a.
Flawed out a number of level. It's not great. Already
top Jim. I think that perhaps you ought to go to a hospital and have your blood check, because I think that you are an AIDS suspect. They tell me that.
AIDS has a native of negative effect on the human brain. Ok, so this guy is like an open microbes.
And I'll testify material policies. This is the mob lawyer who drinks are court of booze every day, more and you're telling me that this guy was not necessarily tailored for public speaking,
Hannah they went to court and yearly guilty or not guilty do being the AIDS husband come on.
And I then went to court and ass. The Jimmy hospitalized for mental illness quote. I am convinced that this
sheriff is nuts and if he
isn't. Then the rest of us are in serious trouble that mean he's got a point. Sure yeah it just you know the eight. I think I'm still stuck with the age thing.
Yeah, it's hard to get past the hard won
Judge Interview Jim, looked at his records and ruled that quote: the sheriff is not crazy, actual quote, etc. We call a feeling for Jimmy's. I get one case.
Also, then Jim took that and.
saying that he was the only public official in Ohio with a court documents.
stating that he was same yeah. No, no,
you're the only one who needed the document is what it is.
the only same one, that's amazing that he gets like a certificate z, not crazy. Ok, prove
Ok, I think I'm crazy, who has a certificate that says that
Craziness, crazy. Okay, thank you! God, the trial was in Cleveland.
Jim acted as his own attorney. You know Dave, there's not a lot of this
ups that I enjoy more on this podcast than when someone is going to serve as there
an attorney. That's like
oh god. I would never want to be on a jury, but if they were long and the guys are because those dirty I'll be like I'll pay, you I will pay, I will pay for this show I will pay to watch
the man who doesn't know law and is probably guilty try to move.
Round the law
actually gets myself your honor, oh sustained,
not my party. There, I'm sorry permission
myself is hostile,
the football at recess,
So this is also a real danger. Wouldn't hammer like that.
So this is also Rico case, which is super complicated, so.
insane than anyone would try to defend them
Dave Insane or delicious, but.
This is made him look larger than life and my honing valley, where they don't like the government.
Oh boy, so the evidence is overwhelming. Handwritten convention tapes, fingerprints, even a deputy who testified Jim and asked him
shoot him and make it look like a mob hit so
and not just once a bunch of times because
ok was debited bitching about just fuckin wing May June. We make it. Can we take the certificate back at this point? It seems like it's fair to remove and retract as difficult of sanity whose exists. Now you
We asked the multiple times you didn't ask to be shot multiple times and the mob
budget. I just over a long period. Time is like yours, fucking stupid way, bills.
You can. You only want to shoot us if you're a bay, if you're here and your boss asks you to shoot him shoot him. It's going to be the grace to your life.
I mean yeah someone's, giving you permission to kill them, realize what it is just put it on your proton video and then do it and then hide it in some bread. That's right! So Jim asked for the trial to be moved to Youngstown, which didn't work. So then he asked for jurors from Youngstown to be on the jury, networked interests, etc.
yes, six out of twelve of the jurors were from youngest, so he asked for a home game and they were like no and then he's like. Can I have the fans come in for the game and they're like? Yes? Basically, ok, Jim came to court in a quarter or a jacket with a pocket.
Ripped out what a bold move, Jim, no again
mere plan. But I like what I hear and then I'm going a rip. The pocket, of course where's that certificates, that can we just have a look at that. His first statement that
sorry he said he looked right at one of one of the two one of the jurists that he looked right at him and he said I got inside the mob. I fucked the mob that
Beyond that jury, her innocent, it look
I let me look. I've got a brother. I bought a mob fucked the mob, your first that
First state, like you, thought that one out now be perfect and look right at one of those guys milligram fuck them.
Jennifer to himself, as quote my client. Oh, my God, Dave
What have we done to deserve such a gift? My client,
Tell me he's running back to sit at the table and nodded himself,
And.
You're on permission to call my attorney awesome.
Permission denied for every permission request, thus forward
Could you just lie quiet please? I am he's, got little costume changes.
And as myself I wear a little hat. I ever
a pocket, and then I read the pocket off, take the head off and I am the lawyer man or whatever his name is the almost judge. That's what it's called.
Jim said, it was a one man sting operation and that he does.
Earth and Academy award just gold dust, stenographer whisper.
All of this is that
Oh, my god- this is great. This is phenomenal. I'm doing this
draft this is so good. He said the confession was fake and a handwriting expert testified.
Then it was now would way. Do I look like my client and my lawyer. I am the handwriting expert, theirs
That is a that's an interesting thing. Client. I agree completely.
Now the guy who signed this was you weren't a white suit, Corduroy where's, your buffalo fucker? What was he so that,
if he had written on this piece of paper and then it got down near the bottom any like scrunch to sign it. So it's they look like you. I believe you
sign if you're
Drudge sign it gets. You need a whole different expert. You need a guy who is an expert in scrunch signature, always use a long legal legal yeah, no
roles, that's why I only read on scroll, scrolls, absolutely true. People say that it's not smart, but I only. I only will do a scroll, Jim, had an audio expert come in and say the tapes were edited which they were because the F b I always fucks up the F B. I had added them to make them shorter. Him admitted taking the mob money, but said he did so
so his campaign, opponent wouldn't get it well. Let me ask you: this: did his opponent have a certificate? That said he wasn't crazy. No.
I think we know who, in this round hats may image. That's quite a plan, quite a plan on June fifteen nineteen, eighty three Jim trafficking was acquitted, wow.
He's silently wept in court out on the courthouse steps jurors, wanted to meet him and shake his hand thanks for fucking the mob tsar Awesome,
When you look at me, all one
with him another another said that they had been rooting for him the whole time. This was the eighties when, after the trial, the jurors were allowed to go, have like a fan meeting with the guy who was just acquitted, I think they still are. If you're acquitted, I think you can hang out with
drew right away right after you re you could go for the nineteenth. All just go sit with the
earth man. I was crazy. Thank you guys so much what's comic kamikaze, I'm buying ha woo back
in young town, they celebrated, they didn't think he was for
innocent, but in their say, and this
Everyone was full shit and corrupt shadow, Neil,
it was amusing to us. Do you like that he's popping back in.
Jim was a winner, there's video of him returning that looks like fuckin Rocky just want to fight large
These pushed his way through surrounded by bodyguards. People are clear.
Being cheering summer crying bodyguards
through the crowd, he's young towns. National, celebrity many thought he was a crook, but he was there. Crook, ok, that's sure, hometown hero at a press conference. He said the mob she'd get out a youngster down. What is he he's back, oddities back on the fucking game, be mean he's back in character.
Bet he's bays doing. This is pretending we cease being been share. Your voice got super high, which tells me you're covered up for, I think you're in love with this man.
Brad owed right now and not the marble. I M writing is,
many name the mob, guys individually, Naples, James frayed Crabby brothers, but this is all for the cameras he wasn't go on after anyone. He was just plain to see.
And then Jim shocked, everyone I mean it's like went out,
is like now we find the killer,
She's just come on. You got it just go. No. I've got more work to do right.
And then Jim shocked everyone and ran for the House of Representatives, is he doing
And what do you mean? What do I mean the fuck? Is he doing he's running for the house represented? Oh okay, you gotta represent the people to the people like him, yeah, that's good!.
He won the democratic primary easily of Kurds, well, big events right in
And during the race against the Republican and Jim, went up to the chief strategist of the incumbent and said quote: I'm coming
If your boy and I'm gonna win, look what I've done.
Look who I am I own- the mines I own, the Marine, yes, the mind owner.
He had no campaign handlers, he had no consultants, he didn't trust anyone, my god, he could speak for
Our without looking at notes and captivate everyone, my God Jim, also like to do the salesman moves- is opponents like a foot smaller, so you grab his too
It has had in this parliament with the other shut up. What are you doing right? He looks like the stronger guy and also he's much taller. So, let's go.
His man handling this guy yeah. No I've seen is yeah, remember when veterans sprained his aim as like arm when he came here. It's like she has us. What is he doing? Why would he do that? Her lawyer said everyone watching this made him look like he was in charge and he easily won. Jim Traficant became a member of Congress in nineteen. Eighty five, oh my god, this guy's story- this was during Reagan's massacre. Jim was the
only newly elected Democrat in all Congress, while yeah eighteen, eighty shy was a fucking bomber,
as a freshman in Congress. You are expected to sit and listen as we can see the old, don't like it.
talk
The young brown woman saying things
Listen lady.
You start losing your mind like me, then you can begin to govern.
What the money! I don't like this truth jailer. He is here to hurt us she's, the one we read about.
The Oracle foretold one would like she would come around. We must
Destroy, however, can.
So obviously, sitting and listening is not gym style, no and now in Congress. Apparently you can give him one minute speeches every day if you want to, and so he did, that every day he spoke out for his constituents. One minute he said quote my areas hurt. I lost fifty five thousand jobs in the last eleven years and all these fancy Harvard ideologists philosophers all they have given us is rust, proof paint he slept on a boat and he lived in his office. What yeah that must have slipped on a boat in the Potomac River and then and then Potomac and then.
And then, and then he kept all of his clothes and stuff in his office and change, just like basically sleeping on the vote is like Captain RON. If you were in Congress, yes, okay, Captain RON he's captain Ronan
right, but he's beggar, no progress running for Congress, but is much
she's. Talking about all the jobs lost in everything, no one's doing anything in Congress of
Meanwhile, doesn't sound like Congress yeah, I know it's me
My honing valley was disintegrating in a near permanent recession. Mills closed department stores, close airlines stop flying there by the end of the ninety navies. The population in young town alone fell.
More than twenty eight thousand, when one of the last stillness closed Jim said quote, I think this is beyond all the talking phase. If the
A rip off the last industrial facility, then someone should grab him by the throat and stretch him a couple of inches. So he's talking the way people who lost their jobs are feeling want to hear you say exactly what they want to hear depend
made. The mob stronger middle class was now gone. Doctors. Lawyers accounts: basically, the entire civic backbone is gone. The civic leaders who remain or totally marginalized, success and morals and youngster became inverted so that kid to grub worship, worshipping the couples. So they went from wine to work in a mill right to now worshipping the mob and the mob, no longer cater de mille workers, but instead drug dealers
other criminals, they were the only ones left with money to spend. Sixty minutes did a special on and ninety ninety one because he's a century and an outspoken he did gave great speeches. I mean you see his one minute speeches and the entire house applauds and cheers him because he's saying he's, fucking saying the truth right and the house reps would stand and applaud. At this point he had. He had crazy to pay.
so haired followed, and then he put it to pay on that like didn't, it doesn't fit right. It's just kind of unity. Ever this one is spectacularly bad like it's like. You stole it
hey from another guy to put on like before his speech its next level. Fucking crazy, like its hanging off of his at, is the point.
Well that play you. Look it up to show you a yes, so my favorite part, this is
your favorite part here when you give a little picture, I'm always into so
oh, oh yeah. That is so that its not it doesn't mean now. It's like. I don't know what it.
Doesn't look right that doesn't look like hair.
not at all, not remotely. Here it looks like a hare cake. It's just dynamite, so me, I'm in my bed forties what
He did this on purpose. He what war that I did look crazy on purpose. He worked it's so now it's the nineties. He still wearing Bell bottoms, often white.
I mean literally one person clapped once it's
I was as support can be for something that support is called out for you. That was an appeal
But applaud exactly yes ass. Finally,
the sound of one hand clapping.
So this is part of his act right, so he said there were four hundred and thirty five guys in Congress and four hundred and thirty four war grey suits us who is sure Vassili standing out yet will you could just do that with the bell bottoms? You don't need to put a fuckin old rat
Your head he's also very funny and charismatic to the people of Youngstown. This meant he was one of them. He wasn't a DC type, ok, sure the Iris came after Jim for the one hundred and sixty three thousand. He took.
the mob. It right that off which
it told there when he had taken right
of how we editor impregnated them, but here
Used to pay taxes on it and went to trial, but there there's no juries is to judge so he lost Ray and now
He's in Congress and his wages are garnished by the IRA's at that,
So he was only bringing home four hundred and fifty five dollars four hundred and fifty dollars a week. It's pretty great. I mean that's enough to sustain boat living, what you need out there and now he's pissed
So it is one minute speeches he starts railing against the IRS every day
started. Using the phrase beam me up beam me up, which came from being me up. Scotty, there's no intelligent life down here, so he was saying get me out of
Congress or the world of the IRS single they're, all everyone's a fucking idiot right, ok,.
loved him more and more in young stone. He was screaming for them. They had been fucked by the economy, Trade, NAFTA, the bank's China all became his targets. He knew that he knew what the voters were mad about, and he could say the way they want it to be said. He was the politician who people said got them when no one else did because he also didn't fit in Jim. He was basically the politics of resentment of a people discarded by a country, butchers,
I think it's fun theme in american history. When you re out there was another party I mean like a real one. Jim saw what was coming, he said quote what happened.
Young town will happen everywhere else. If there isn't a trade programme developed in America, we have a crisis ahead. That will make the twenty nine crash. Look like offender bender, if all those who keep making light of it in about ten years, training,
I dont like how those guys, starting to win me over.
I feel, like I led me downward path of now like right.
Keep going Jim is a complicated man complicated here now building
Bill Clinton was running guys, the chairs going to fall apart. Let's not it's an honor
it's an overall strategy for the girls and honour. So above
was running for President nineteen. Ninety two he comes to Youngstown. He needs he needs gym to support him because Jim is a fucking young stat right, so he needs his approval. So to get the backing Jim tells
Future President Clinton town needs a new defence centre and that would provide four to five thousand jobs. Ok, he has ever heard of a defence Clinton. Looked Jim and said: quote: I promise you, you ve got it and Clinton was elected after the election. Jim pressed Push Clinton to deliver, but it wasn't happening so you up
Alec and he went very hard. Lo too hard for the Democrats, GM said. If he had to make a choice between being loyal to the Democratic Party or his constituents, the party would lose every time. Then the Democrats in Congress held a closed door meeting about gym afterwards Clinton reneged on his promise and gave the defense Center to Columbus Ohio, allow and that
The ninety ninety six couldn't came back to young stand a campaign that girl
its May. I've got a budget. Do promises. First problem, go fuck yourself,.
the first promises. No promises are abandoned once I leave here will have sexual you're willing. I will I an out of control pervert, but the parties get to pretend like I'm, not getting married,
next? What it's called kick in? The can down the road, not I'm gonna, do. Thank you so much Jonestown, aware of the fucker about. I remember.
so Jimmy speaks at the ride him. A sheep and wolves clothing, a man and a Buffalo cars do.
The gym space at the rally again
What does this time it's a little awkward our bill, couldn't even
I'll, get it a rally with this guy down. I mean they pushed him that, because Jim out a plan, they pushed him in bills.
Behind him and Jim got up and just fucking ripped him a new ass, an bills.
Out there and took the letter. Is he's got lomna after the rally
other funny. I think other funny
Lab lab for behold,
Areas of AIDS.
after they got into a limo together and Jim, just
tearing into Clinton further
Is every name in the book? Finally, Jim was through
when out of the limo by the secret service.
after that Jim used. All is one minute speeches to go after bill could love. That is a lot that is still on a pitch count.
Alright, you got one minute where I'm past, eventually Clinton, couldn't take it and gave millions of upgrades to the AIR Force Base in Youngstown, okay, but that's also bullshit, because the military industrial complex just pays off every single fucking district, so people have jobs and then we will have to go to war, to have jobs. Sorry,
But this is when they were probably just starting to figure out exactly how lucrative that could be. That's right. Right,
so what when he was just like? Oh, I could just do this everywhere. That's the easy! So Jim still in Congress he's crushing opponents when they run against him, he's winning by seventy five to eighty percents every election and that's fuckin, unhurt yeah, but Youngstown is going deeper into the abyss. The mob is now completely
things Lenny straw, low change, these civil service exam, so he could pick the chief of police and almost every patrolman. Well, that's not good. He controlled ninety percent of appointments to the
department- oh Jesus, this city's law director would bring stroller
a list to his house, so he could pick which cop he wanted as as you're supposed to do sure. If you can imagine this led to him being able to pick which murders got put on trial, sure
When three hit men were pulled over in a car with an AK, forty seven at three, fifty seven and a nine millimeter pistol, one of the cop one of the the mob guys just handed his phone to a cop and said here called Bernie. The Jew who will later run for president hello there with me
only the Jew told the cops to let the guys go and they did did Bernie that you have a push back on the nickname we're here.
I am what I am ok, let him go I've. I just think they call.
Called it like. It was horrible, yeah yeah. Well, this
Deborah than as he's a Jew. What you recall call him Bernie, the Jew is what I've always go.
with
so the Cleveland and Pittsburgh mobs we're still fighting and with all this control, stroller got reckless and he just started Killin tons of guys. But then a new prosecutor was elected and he was not corruptible. His name was Phil gains. This was obviously huge.
Yeah he started investigating meanwhile Dc Jim started, saying dumber dumber things he went after attorney general, JANET Reno, about a conspiracy theory
And said she had a relationship with a sex worker who was associated with the mob
boosting nobody
Youngstown people like well that's crazy, so they actually started thinking he's a little out of touch right didn't go over very well back home. Meanwhile, the F b I investigation guy was going on guys are going down. Stroller went away for gambling. Okay, then he got out forty months later. Just started running things again, so the F B, I decided to start going after the lower guys, hoping they'd flip on the upper guys. Okay, so they got a bookie who they arrested and turned
he worked in the market and always smelled like fish. Okay, it they didn't so his nickname was, but it was Joey stinks, stuff, Charlie tuna yeah for now there's already a Charlie fishy bill, fish sturgeon search,
ugh love to see you in the mob pitch meeting Sturgeon, Davy bad ideas.
The fuck out here a day.
shit nicknames go baby girl. What about trout,
now Davy bad names. Octopus
Dave Everything's, a fish go.
Davy drags outdo long, don't pitch see
bear savvy out of ideas, Davy
here believe how hard it is for you to come up with fish author of held David
Love to go, they eat they fish, they be.
Connections, leave the approach meeting deficient
most there's baby won't stop big shut. The fuck up leave, go.
But Joey nipples I'll. Tell you what clothes.
To come back in someone's back.
And I'm in charge. I Mikey just gotta, hear twelve things so.
So that guy starts wearing a wire that leads to phone taps sooner listening to thousands of conversations, strollers phone is tapped, his rooms are bugged, so stroller then knew what was going on tried to plant evidence that agent kroner was on the take.
And then he couldn't have coming home like man, kroner share, loves money.
I gave him all of it. He said. That's not enough.
Why do we not with your hands? What you why you
yeah and I only liquid my hands, you're, yellow.
A quiet life. No, I'm not I'm pouring some tea for the both of us. What are you afraid of.
What's going on here, Jesus
Don't pay no fore finger at me like a gun, not pointing a figure. You like a gun, I'm hanging a picture. I've always wanted on the wall.
finger again, what the watchword,
What did manufacturers limo throw? No. I am merely petting the neighbourhood dog,
oh dog, does what
boss. Why you pulling your dick, often thrown down.
I am simply putting out a chess board the play against you later you what's with the first I'm talking about Kroger, he takes money.
Canadian what're you fuckin stupid first
Kroger's, it a grocery store west each other.
Kroner, the FBI agent.
Ah, how, by Jimmy to fishes, we could come up with a better name.
So strong follow orders a hit on the incorruptible county prosecutor. Ok,
Gave the order to Bernie the Jew who hired a black marble, says assassin who told us friends, he was gonna, be the first made black guy in the country
So I do you sell you, like cool,
What do you want to hear from us? That's not good. Also
Mark Bacco, a local guy who idolized the mob so much growing up. He got tattoos of capitals and moment Harris a crack dealer. No man scarecrow,
that's a good grandma, their regime
They drove to the prosecutors house and bachelor, went in and shot him, but didn't, kill him. Then the gun jammed. So he ran so
and gone to perfection. When he got in the car he said the gun jammed and they were like well. Why didn't you stab them? Ah yeah, it's my fuck. What smart? I should have said this. I yeah I just panicked and put my fingerprints all over stock.
I wrote my name in blood on the wall and then I was out of there and I flipped them over made sure he had a good look at me and then I left. What are you going to do once the gun jams, you've gotta freak out right now?
I signed a thing that said, I did it and then I made you gotta go look at me. I touched a budget stuff, but a little.
I blood on their own case that technologies around now, I don't know
I came down here to catch up with you guys, that's right.
when I ran out of Europe, I am but John. So
it's fine he'll, be fine. Despite dead.
He said by when I left, but I'm sure is in no way is it being nice? I think.
I think it was saying by to his life. Maybe I don't know
goddamn like I said I freaked out after what watched little tv
and out of there
I left took off, came to you guys, so,
Couple days later, so they didn't think it was the mob because it was
it's a bad hit there like there's, no way this isn't a mob ass, no way, there's the mob, some guy, who panicked real, easily and touched a bunch of stuff.
So that a couple days later, a bitter ex cop,
called the FBI, one of the guys ex girlfriend and told them everything who is keeping that in touch with their ex girl
It's hey: how are you Kathy I'm about to do a hit? It was still cool right. Awesome.
alright, see
this, let you know worst we're still talking and we're still find. I trust you I'm in a murder, a guy in tonight's good to catch up, so the four hit men were charged with attempted murder. Bachelor became a mob rat in December in eighteen. Ninety seven, the FBI arrested twenty eight
guys, including stroller, and then they all squealed against each other, except to the black eye and the jewish guy shirt,
Riddle burning that you were the only ones who stuck to the sicilian code, even though they were not a topic.
All the italian guys squealed at each other, even stroller. So now politicians started going down. Ok, Jim's, longtime top aide was arrested. It was reported that he was Jim's bag. Man, his bag, man, okay, but Jim, had an explanation for that. He said his aide had cancer, so he would go to the capitol his wife to get cancer medication. So that's what was in the back? Sorry wait. What was the excuse? He had cancer, the bag, man yep the aid sure and then so he went to the the kappa, his wife to get cancer medication because they had so that's why he was going back and forth from there. Okay cause they had
while the good cancer drugs yeah right, okay in Youngstown, if you have cancer, go to the mob yeah. Okay, not a good medical, although maybe better medical can't be worse.
We should actually pitch there that the mob runs healthcare.
It can be worse or at the at some point. Yeah. You just gotta, dig all the way through the hole at this point and just be like. What's on the other end, hey the mob runs the hospitals, okay, hey! So we know we broke both your arms and here's. What we're going to do to fix them.
I'm afraid we're gonna have to work your husband pull the plug, sorry school. So
Then the aid, however, testified that he was actually bringing money back and forth. He was an not cancer medication
I got from the hospital weird you lied to me, so
Jim's entire office staff is being investigated.
Jim was being very open about it to the press, quote hawks.
darkling buzzards circling sharks are circling, what can a desert? Is he of
a picture where he is. What landscape is this? I'm in the ocean desert.
eight those birds, hawks buzzards sharks
jerk three on a desert island,
It is fantasy. Island hawks
Circling buzzards circling sharks are searching, trying to kill the traffic and election. That's right. He still running for office during all of the line
his Ex staffers started. Turning and testifying they had been bag. Man for Jim Jim said he was under pressure and not sleeping well, but
I want to say this to the: U S attorney. You are also under pressure. You must defeat me, I'm
or getting them they better, not make a damn mistake. I am mad and I'm going to fight like a junkyard dog in the face of a hurricane. What is he talking about
in a not it.
ok, I got bad news for the dog. Why
I urge shrapnel and wind
This won't end while doggie to be fair. I just.
Wash my puppy and I use the hairdryer on me. It was on our dog, so it's def.
The same thing is the dog in the whip there
it's a different thing: it's a different thing, yeah, so
It makes sense. What did all those animals circling other in a hurricane? That's the only way it would be rationally possible. That's right is in some sort of predatory
the Tory Hurricane sort of aquatic desert like Cross wind dogs facto, if there's sharks in that area
and yet they love junk yard dog. He then threaten.
Democratic Party saying he was switch parties if they didn't back the Republicans like no, no, no, no, no
problems are like a journey.
election, he kept saying he was going to be indicted. That's a good slogan,
trafficking gonna be indicted.
trafficking and I approve this message.
But because he was saying it and he already beaten one, it was basically saying I got. This is no big deal common after began right, so people are like ass Jimmy.
Equal a reboot, so I didn't see their bad and he won
At his popularity easily easily wasn't even close, ok, but then, when the new Congress was seated, he voted for the Republican has stirred to be the speaker of the house happens to be a pet. If I don't have any a boy fucker, that's fine!
If not, that is true, that's cool. He just paid the guy off, but what he traded for this when he traded for being a Democrat voted for putting for a pedophile to be the speaker of the house was he would get.
thirty five million to build a new arena and youngster. Well, that's cool, but the Democrats were furious and he was kicked out of the party.
So now he's kind of a republican but turncoat one. So there.
It's not easy. So he's really nothing here,
if he gets wine beer lady has Simon, but he's got media zero power and the Justice Department still coming after right
so Jim is finally arrested, not on big mob stuff, but on a bunch of little things like not filing cracked income tax reports hiring under undocumented workers on his farm like stuff, it's not right
big, but it all adds up when the government
earned over the evidence for the trial, because he was an attorney. Did I just don't?
How I feel about this? This is quite a polarizing figure. In many ways. Jim didn't even looked through it,
told this chief of staff. He didn't need to look through because quote I've done nothing wrong. Sure yeah just go in there called treated,
good, dollop, just walk in there and just hear what they're going to throw at you and just figure it out. Jim, represent himself again in front of the courthouse. He told reporters quote: most people have problems with a fly.
with a fly on their face. I have an elephant eating, my asshole,
I'll, tell ya it's true. Seagulls just have to go bigger, it's like an issue
as what he started by saying like I've fucked the mob zero like buddy, you you've peaked what're, you gonna. Do I baked well guess what I now
What is eating my ass off
Jim Traficant. I will be indicted.
Our future
by the way right now, the republic of parties, an elephant eating an asshole.
Even the ass, their loving they ass. All I mean it's this video of it it's,
video of an elephant eating his asshole. I think it's just a guy in a suit.
You sure this is your fantasy. I do
take. This is what we intended when we opened decided. This has really taken a turn:
Now. Every guy there comes there. Just want steed, Alfred Assholes, whereby.
The elephant ass, a island that name was already taken.
Do you miss Oliver? It can you just read the quiet, while my time, it's really good, mostly
We have problems with a fly on their face, so there I think, not a good start casually beds,
really weird problem. I feel, like we ve all kind of figured out how to solve that its one motion, but ok, so most people have that level of a problem. Most people have a have problems with it:
I, on their face. I have an elephant eating my asshole, and this is the nineties. This is not that long ago and in those not this is two thousand. I wonder what his client, through.
Come on, I told you not to talk like that I'll do what I want. I'm the attorney God damnit, alright, listen, look we're both getting our assholes eat and I object. That is not your position. All right, we'll take some questions from myself.
I have a question yes: over there I added say you'd. Take that one of the client shut up on the attorney miss. Thank you. So
I am also you guys. Now Gmos offered a plea to two years. We will plead guilty. He did not know what he did do well plead guilty breed, not guilty by reason of it
Vanity in away his whole life has been leading up to this point.
Ladies and gentlemen, look at the thing I have
I had the bell by
