This NYT Article Glazing a Deported Jamaican Kidnapping Drug Dealer is Absolutely Bonkers
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Mr. Blair was handed a yellow jumpsuit at the Orange County Jail.
It's his first time behind bars since leaving prison.
You know, people mess up.
People get things wrong all the time.
Yours truly included, and certainly, Gerald.
And...
The media messes up.
Okay.
Sometimes it's just you make a mistake.
Sometimes there's new information.
Sometimes the information...
It changes, and you have to adapt.
Sometimes...
It's not only malicious, but it's so tone-deaf that you're basically putting your ear to the ground to hear the piano even though you're riddled with syphilis.
It's time for media malpractice.
you
And we have a couple to get to.
All references, we make them publicly available.
I highly recommend you go and read this.
There might be a paywall if you don't have a membership.
We have to pay for all these memberships, and I feel guilty to New York Times and Washington Post and Wall Street Journal, Forbes, blah, blah, blah.
But it does this for us.
Yeah.
We didn't know what to pull.
This is all one article.
It's the whole thing.
At the New York Times.
This is a book, dude.
There's chapters.
There's literally chapters.
And here's the thing.
Is it funny?
Sure.
But it also shows you, when people talk about the country club sort of Democrats, and the parties have changed a little bit now, what they're talking about is this.
The person writing this does not care about you.
The person writing this doesn't believe that anyone, including serial criminals, who have no business being here, should be deported.
So if you just sort of follow that down the end of its logical trail, it's, oh, okay, you need to pay for these people, as we have seen in New York City.
As we've seen with hotels, as we've seen with SNAP benefits, EBT cards, right?
If they don't believe that this guy should be deported, and this is an entire write-up.
Think about this.
Abrego.
Abrego Garcia, did I have that right?
I believe so, yeah.
That's the example they found.
He's a guy who clearly was an MS-13 gang member.
I'm sorry, Maryland man.
Maryland man.
Make sure you get it correct.
Doesn't this tell you something?
If they're really, really looking to do a profile on the poor, innocent, hard-working, Law-abiding migrant who accidentally gets deported and instead you end up with MS-13 gang member and this.
So, the headline is 21 years later, deported back to a home he barely knew.
All right.
Can we talk about this being the island of Jamaica, too, just a little bit?
Yes.
I know there's some slummy parts of it, a lot of the island, but it's Jamaica!
Also a home that still exists that he has a place to live.
Yeah, he does.
With relatives that he definitely knows and sent things back to.
Yes.
What?
You barely knew.
You knew the address.
You were sending shit back for years.
You sent back an autographed best of Bob Marley, which, by the way, there's only, like, one song.
Can we stop?
Come on.
With the stupid tattoos.
One song!
You described this during run through, like, this is the exact kind of person who would want to be.
Yeah, that's what I was saying.
It was, like, four years ago.
Or, no, not even four.
One year ago, we're in the campaign.
Both sides come together and go, who's the people that need to be deported?
Okay, not the average person.
All right, not the dreamers.
Not the anchor babies.
No, no, no.
It's the guy who's guilty of kidnapping?
Yeah, probably that guy.
They make the case for why he should be deported while lamenting.
Dealing a weapons possession.
Like, this article might as well be called fodder for those advocating deportation.
Validation for Trump's policy.
It's guilty of kidnapping somebody.
It should be called kidnapped person gets kidnapped.
Kidnapper goes home.
I'm baffled.
I can't even speak today.
Under Trump administration, message is clear.
Kidnappers not welcome.
What a douche.
And they'll still try and make it a race thing.
If you're like, I don't want kidnappers because he's black?
No, because he napped kids!
It's the napping that I have a problem with.
So let me read you some of this.
Nascimento Blair returned home.
In shackles.
Good.
Shackles or zip ties?
Scrooge, is it Marley?
Yeah.
Over the next three nights, you'll be deported.
You'll be visited by three Rastafarians when the bell tolls 11.30 a.m. if they sleep in.
He landed in Jamaica in February.
21 years after he abandoned the island, seated next to dozens of his countrymen who were also handcuffed.
They don't specify, were they also kidnappers?
Yeah, like being handcuffed is the worst thing.
This is not an op-ed on them, so obviously they have done worse.
They have.
Still dazed, he looked out of place.
He had on the same winter clothes.
A peacoat.
A turtleneck.
Gray suit.
And Chelsea boots, how I often picture my Jamaicans.
Ah, he had style.
Why did we deport him?
He had been wearing when U.S. immigration authorities had abruptly detained him on a frigid morning in New York City weeks earlier.
It was frigid, Stephen.
Feel bad for him.
I should feel...
He had icicles on his testicles.
I should feel bad for him!
Did he say he was there for 21 years?
Yeah.
He was in the U.S. for 21 years.
Yes.
Oh, he was in the U.S. for a total of 21. Okay.
Yes.
Okay.
And he's 44?
Yeah.
I'm just doing some math here because it's not like this guy was five when he left.
No, he spent the majority of his life in the home he barely knew.
So here's the thing.
They're setting this all up, right?
I'm not going to...
Maybe I should just read all of it.
You guys let me know if you want me to read all of it.
But I'll go to the second page here where I just want you...
Just please have your short...
Drink your coffee if you need to.
Have your short-term memory working so you can remember the first two phrases.
Once I speak, immediately the very next phrase in the article.
Okay?
I don't know how important.
All right.
They don't look at you like a Jamaican, Mr. Blair said.
They look at you like a criminal.
That's sad.
Next phrase.
Mr. Blair did not give them details about his past.
An odyssey that began with a side hustle dealing marijuana in the New York suburbs with a 24-year-old Jamaican transplant, which led to a kidnapping conviction he disputed and a 15-year prison sentence he fulfilled.
You know who he disputed it with?
The guy who got kidnapped!
They look at you like a criminal.
Are you one?
They don't say wrongfully.
No.
They say he disputed.
Every criminal does.
What are you talking about?
They're like, hey, hey, we think you kidnapped this person.
No.
Yeah, well, we have proof.
Oh, 15 years.
No, I was just holding him, man.
By the way, do the math.
He's a kidnapper.
Of course they look at you as a criminal.
You're like, amongst the worst.
Yeah, everybody in prison is innocent.
Yes, that's true.
I also saw Shawshank.
Got it.
By the way, do the math.
It was one of the first things he did here.
Yes.
It was kidnap.
It was like first thing.
Oh, America.
The land of kidnapping opportunity.
Since when can you not do that here?
That's crazy, man.
There's free people to kidnap here.
There's three people that are involved in this case.
I know.
I know.
And by the way, just again, you think, look at all of this.
This is all making the case that the man who came here immediately kidnapped, did 15 years hard time, should not be deported.
That's from the New York Times.
Okay.
To Jamaica.
It was his criminal past that had gotten him deported from the United States.
You fucking think?
Wait, did he write this article?
Is anything else relevant?
It's like, well, yeah, look, we all agreed we're going to start deporting the violent criminals, you know, certainly pedophiles, kidnappers.
Okay, hold on.
Where he had been rebuilding his life and seeking redemption, largely with more kidnappings.
He had earned two college degrees, started a trucking business, mentored people, released from prison, cared for fiancé with breast cancer, taking classes at Columbia University.
All right.
None of it.
They brought up his fiancé's breast cancer because, again, heartstrings.
I'm going to point it out.
Every time they try to tug your heartstrings, I'll point it out.
On paper, Mr. Blair fit the profile of the people Mr. Trump says he wants to deport.
Yes.
Those with criminal backgrounds.
They write it.
I'm not saying it.
Yes.
Correct!
We all agree!
Yeah, on the same page.
Oh, good.
So this is a good thing.
This whole thing, might as well read the defense, is like, to be fair, he didn't kidnap anyone during the 15 years he was in prison.
I don't think you get credit for that.
I don't think that's how it works.
Oh, my God.
Okay, all right.
Here you go.
But to Mr. Blair and his supporters...
His life story was one of rehabilitation nuanced and filled with qualities that they believe Mr. Trump's deportation machine disregards as it flies out immigrants en masse.
Yes.
Well, I don't think it's disregarding his story so much as acknowledging it.
Like, hey, we have to look for who we should deport.
Somebody who has no business being here, you did 15 years for kidnapping?
Yeah, you're gone.
No, but he made papier-mâchées in prison.
Yes, exactly.
I told other people not to do it.
He had a pen pal.
His removal from the United States and dizzying journey back to the Caribbean raises a fundamental question Americans are grappling with as they consider the president's immigration crackdown.
Who deserves to stay?
Okay, I can't answer that entirely, but I can say not kidnappers.
Pretty easy.
Without exception, in fact.
Pretty much.
Alleged kidnappers?
You may be convicted.
I would even say, like, natural-born kidnappers, you'd have a case to deport them.
Somewhere.
But it was good for five years before the kidnapping.
Yeah.
Mr. Blair was home, except Jamaica did not feel like home.
Not enough people to kidnap there, are there?
They know you as the kidnapper and run away.
Here's the next chapter.
A cryptic call from Ice.
What?
In this chapter, they lay out how he was deceived by Ice when they called him and said, hey, please come here.
I got tricked.
I got tricked.
They called me and they asked me to go to Ice.
And I did!
And they did what ICE do!
I thought I could kidnap!
I don't think it's all that cryptic.
Like, the call from Ice should be like, hey, yeah, Mr. Blair, we're gonna be deporting you on account of all that kidnapping.
Wanna come down and see us?
Yes, you tricked me.
Hey, so on account of, okay, so he's a kidnapper and he's also an idiot?
Yeah, we'd really have to get rid of this guy.
He's also here illegally.
We're forgetting that.
Like, all this is enough to be like, oh yeah, he was never allowed to be here.
Yeah, you shouldn't be here if you're here illegally.
And you're like, a parking violation.
That's enough for me.
Yes.
All right.
A judge ordered cryptic call from ICE.
Okay, next chapter.
A judge ordered Mr. Blair to be deported after he was convicted of kidnapping in 2006.
Accused of abducting an acquaintance who had stolen weed from his apartment.
I get it, Stephen.
You can't tell the cops, hey.
I also feel like if they wanted to paint him in a more positive light, like, the New York Times could have, they could have chosen a litany of different phrases, but instead it's like, abducting an acquaintance.
Who had stolen weed.
Abducting an acquaintance who allegedly had violated his, you know, business.
Personal property inventory.
Yeah, he stole his reefer.
So he kidnapped him.
Another pull on the heartstrings.
They couldn't technically say friend.
Right.
They have to say acquaintance because the guy lived in the same building.
Yeah.
And he smelled the weed.
And he's like, I know where the weed is.
They saw each other from time to time outside.
They knew each other.
The deportation order loomed over Mr. Blair as he rebuilt his life after prison.
Mr. Blair, who lived in Yonkers, New York, and worked in Harlem, had to check in at the ICE office in downtown Manhattan seven times over five years.
The audacity.
That's more than probation.
Or less.
Sorry, that's less than probation.
Doesn't that mean that six times under Biden, they looked at him and went...
Yeah, you're fine.
Yes, absolutely.
By the way, if he's in Yonkers, or if he's going from Harlem, it's about a 25-minute train ride.
Yeah, how awful.
Approximately once a year, you've got to take a 20-something minute train ride.
Oppressive.
The fact is, what can we expect immigrants here?
Let's just assume this guy was legal.
What can we expect immigrants to contribute?
At a certain point.
Like, you know, we're not even at the point of talking about taxes, assimilating into your community, giving back.
Like, take a 20-minute train ride every year.
In two years, you might have to do it twice.
Can we ask that?
With an appointment that you can plan around?
I mean, that's less than a dentist.
I mean, it really is.
Opportunities for kidnapping along the way.
Who knows?
Okay, hold on a second.
Let me see.
It just gets...
Mr. Blair regularly ship barrels filled with cooking supplies, textiles, and other goods from his home in Yonkers, New York, to his family in Jamaica.
Now, back in his homeland, he's benefiting from the contents.
How much do you want to bet that they weren't just cooking supplies in those barrels that he was shipping back?
This is a guy who was kidnapping.
This is a guy who was selling so much weed that a friend in his apartment building knew how much weed was being sold, and he did 15 years for kidnapping, said Snitch.
And I don't know about you, but even when I ship Christmas gifts to families, they're often not barrels.
They tell you how much weed was in his apartment?
Very much later in the article so that you give up before then.
How much?
Do you know?
It's at least three pounds.
Whoa!
It's either he had three pounds or three pounds was stolen out of the stash.
Yeah, well that's why you gotta do some kidnapping.
Weed is a very light drug.
Three pounds is a lot.
Three pounds is a lot.
Mr. Blair, who goes by Blair.
Dressed up, as he typically did, and headed to the ICE office.
Unlike many immigrants who wade through the country's convoluted immigration system without legal or financial support, he was not alone.
Well, that's nice.
He dressed up, Stephen.
Yeah.
He's a good man.
Yeah, he brought some of his kidnapping victims along.
He put on his Chelsea boots.
Nearly 50 friends, supporters, and New Yorkers, an unlikely contingent of community organizers, college professors, and faith leaders, showed up outside in solidarity, bearing posters.
I'm sorry.
An unlikely contingent of community organizers, college professors, and faith leaders?
You mean all the usual suspects?
You mean no friends, people who do this for a living?
That's like if I was getting deported and the crew from Panda Express showed up.
What will we do with all the Beijing beef?
I hope the poster said, Bye!
It says, They had banded together to try to stop his deportation through a flurry of last-minute letters to ICE, casting him in a sympathetic light, a rehabilitated man who had repaid his debt to society.
So I guess ICE didn't take it, but then you wrote a puff piece on it, New York Times.
You know what?
I'll say this.
I think people can be rehabilitated.
Sure.
I think the guy made a mistake, and I have no doubt that he's probably a good dude overall, but...
You kidnapped somebody.
You can't be here.
You were never allowed to be here.
You kidnapped somebody.
Guns in your...
He should have never done 15 years in prison.
He should have been, oh wait, you kidnapped somebody.
Oh, okay, we're sending you back to Jamaica.
Well, because we're not going to pay to house a kidnapper who shouldn't be here.
You know what I mean?
It's like, feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, do the crime, do the time.
That's right.
Yeah, exactly.
I think they would understand that better than this New York Times piece.
Do you think this guy is any good at bobsledding?
I don't.
I don't think it really caught on.
No.
Well, it doesn't matter now.
He's got a criminal record.
They won't let that be on the picks.
You don't think anyone was inspired by that very long movie in which they lost?
Well, they picked it up and carried it.
Hey, it's really cool, dude.
I like that movie.
Don't you do this to me!
They've been training the whole time and they immediately crash their bobsled so they have to carry it.
That's true.
That lucky egg wasn't very lucky.
No, it was not.
Mr. Blair entered the ICE office on February 3rd with his lawyer, Bernard Harcourt, a Columbia law professor.
Oh, okay.
Of course.
He took some classes at Columbia.
Yeah.
So, maybe that was a friend.
Alright, hold on a second.
Okay.
From New York to Louisiana.
This is another chapter, by the way.
How many chapters are there?
There are so many chapters.
Like, this whole thing could just be, hey, our immigration system is broken.
People are coming here and immediately committing crimes, ending up in prison, and then back on the streets.
That's what they should write.
But instead, since they have to wade through the bullcrap and, like you said, tug on your heartstrings, it's just a bunch of irrelevant information.
The guy came here illegally and he immediately committed a serious crime that violates an American's fundamental human rights.
Gone!
Yeah, they're pulling at the heartstrings.
They go, the way they tricked Mr. Blair into coming to get arrested.
If they tricked him, why did he get dressed up and bring 50 protesters?
Very much not tricked.
On a cryptic call.
And also, you said the next chapter is called From New York to Louisiana.
This is our subject's Huck Finn story.
Yes, it is.
It's fantastic.
Can we get in touch with this author so that Stephen can do an interview with him?
I would love to.
Josh, do you want to take something?
Do you want to read something?
Yeah, sure.
This is fun.
It was close to midnight, oh no, when Mr. Blair was transferred to a jail a short drive north in Orange County, New York, where ICE holds many people rounded up in New York.
ICE officers paraded Mr. Blair and other detainees before loading them into vans, posing for photos with immigrants like trophies, Blair said.
Like its roots.
Yeah.
Come on, man!
Come on, everyone get a good look at my illegal immigrant.
He says, one of the officers says, this is the new administration.
You weren't a priority then, you are a priority now.
Got no problem with that.
You feel special, that's good.
It's weird that the cops are just kind of like jabbing him, but you know, whatever.
I don't think that ever happened.
They're upset, they weren't allowed to do their job before, they're now allowed to do it.
Then they go on to say, Mr. Blair's handed a yellow jumpsuit.
That's a, oh no, he had Chelsea boots, now he's got a jumpsuit.
No, no, look at this.
Hold on.
I want to highlight this.
Mr. Blair was handed a yellow jumpsuit at the Orange County Jail.
That's his first time behind bars since leaving Reality
I feel like they wrote this entire article for someone else, couldn't find them, and just said, we can just, like, add one, you know, one phrase, and it'll fix it.
Like, this was his first time behind bars.
Just add, since he'd last been to prison.
Right after that, it says the staff were respectful, and he was allowed visitors.
That's nice.
He was there for 17 days, and then on February 21st, his birthday!
Oh, no!
Like they did it maliciously.
Like they waited to transfer all these prisoners until his birthday.
Some warden is like, ah!
Don't you go away!
That's Italian fry here at somebody's birthday.
Never gonna guess what present we got you.
We got you a nice surprise.
No soap.
Shave 'em dry.
Make a wish, boy.
Do it!
Jeez.
I just want to go home.
We can arrange that.
Yeah, we will.
Send you.
So on his birthday, he was transferred with little explanation to a jail in Nassau County.
The next day, he was waking up at about 3 a.m.
Another heartstrings like, oh, you can't wake up at 3 a.m.
They got to be somewhere.
So he was taken to Newark Liberty International Airport there, and he had the detainees were put on a plane.
And there's a charter company, yada, yada.
The detainees wore arm and leg restraints that left Mr. Blair's wrists.
Swollen.
As cuffs do.
Oh my.
So this is fun to me.
What's the alternative?
No restraints?
Yeah.
No restraints when you're taking them to a public airport?
I trust ya.
So let me make sure this is really clear.
They transferred him with no extra.
You would like them to explain to him, do it at a reasonable hour so he can get a full night's rest, and then have him in a public airport with no restraints so he can easily run away.
They sound like it's such a victim story to get up at 3am to go to the airport Have you never gone to an airport?
I know.
Everyone gets up at 3 a.m. to go to the airport, unless you're a moneybags that can fly out at 1 p.m.
Anyway, the plane departed about 8.30, stopping in Boston, Buffalo, and Pennsylvania to pick up others in custody, mostly men, Mr. Blair recalled.
Ugh, sausage fest!
I was hoping there'd be some easy bitches for kidnapping!
Then they go, 12 hours later, they land in Louisiana.
Hold on a second, hold on a second.
Is the implication here that they're, like, pissed off that this illegal alien didn't fly direct?
I guess he had.
And then he had a layover!
Oh, you had to fly like most of us?
Yeah.
Oh, shoot.
Then it goes on to say when they got there, people were being replanted.
When 50 people leave in the morning by 10.30 a.m., the doors open and 60 more people walk in, Mr. Blair recalled, and still mostly men.
I didn't say that.
Okay, here's the next chapter.
A conviction haunts on arrival.
You mean you're haunted by your...
Past of kidnapping?
Again with Marley here.
Caribbean nations have been bracing for an influx of flights packed with repatriated citizens as well as people looking to self-deport to avoid the shame associated with deportation.
So all of this and how terrible it is, they're also saying that a lot of people are voluntarily deported.
Which he could have done if he had a problem with those seven visits during five years.
At any point.
Alright, I wanted to highlight this.
It says, Jamaicans deported to the island, many of whom have criminal backgrounds.
How much do you want to bet?
Most of whom.
Close to all of whom have long had to grapple.
With social stigma that stems from a widely held perception that deportees are unemployable, dangerous, and destined to fuel crime.
Yeah, yeah, I would imagine that if someone is arriving in Jamaica, and whatever their equivalent to immigration or customs are like, reason for him getting to Jamaica, and the guy's like, oh, he's a criminal who kidnapped people.
They're like, oh, so there's a good chance he'll kidnap over here.
Yes.
Great.
It's not the deportation.
It's the criminal record that you have that makes them think that.
I also, by the way, they said, like, it's a home that he barely knew.
Oh, 20-something years.
But then it just says, growing up, Mr. Blair attended an all-boys high school in Jamaica.
Ugh, sausage fest.
And chased dreams of playing soccer in England.
Yet in 2005, less than two years after moving to the United States on a work visa to join his father, the state with the largest Jamaican pocket, he wound up sitting in a Westchester jail.
Well, he did because he committed crimes.
Yes.
That's not our fault.
That's not society's issue.
That's his.
I love how they say sitting in a Westchester jail, then the very next paragraph, before landing in jail.
You don't land in jail.
This isn't Monopoly.
He didn't roll a six and then lose $100.
I thought I kidnap a bitch and pass go!
Maybe if I roll, they'll let me out, man.
Oh, I shouldn't have bought that hotel at Kidnapping Gardens.
LAUGHTER
All right, here's another one of his interviews.
I got caught up selling weed and fell in love with the money.
Yes, I get it.
I strayed from Miss Sarka dreams.
Yeah.
At the age of his early 20s, at the age of 23 or 24, he's like, maybe I'm not going to make it, man.
Maybe when they're recruiting all the 16-year-olds, they're not going to be looking for a 23-year-old who better want to sell her.
I don't think I can play in FIFA, but I can kidnap one who can.
Those dreams...
Oh, no, sorry, this is the New York Times person, not him again.
Those dreams were resoundingly shattered on October 11, 2005, when an 18-year-old who lived in Mr. Blair's building broke into his apartment and stole half a pound of marijuana and money.
Mr. Blair did not report the break-in to the police, fearful of getting busted for possessing marijuana.
Yes.
Pounds.
Instead, he took matters into his own hands.
I think the left hated vigilante justice.
of the problem here.
The police arrested him and two other men the following day.
After they were accused of kidnapping the teenager, holding him at another
What?
Mr. Blair was accused!
Of pistol-whipping the 18-year-old and driving him to the apartment where prosecutors say he was tied up.
The police freed the...
So here's the thing.
Here's an...
All of this...
Here's the funny one.
Like, they want to give...
You know, this guy did 15 years.
Okay.
Just to be clear.
And I'm going to get to the part where you obviously...
Like, nothing is 100%.
It's just 100% that this happened because you'll understand.
Again, with the very, very next phrase.
But think about this.
It wasn't just kidnapping.
He took matters into his own hands.
And so he got a group of other grown men to kidnap a teenager, tie him up, pistol whip him, and hold him ransom, demanding money from the kid's father.
But at least they didn't call the cops on him.
Exactly, exactly.
Then it says, the police freed the teenager that night after raiding the apartment where they found two handguns and two pounds of marijuana.
Meaning...
The police found him tied up with guns.
So in other words, their couple deniability is they show up, they find a teenager who's been kidnapped by a group of Jamaican men, likely bruises all over his face, tied to a chair, but the New York Times wants you to believe his defense was he had the gun, went like, oh,
it's on the floor!
Sounds like he got swatted.
Poor guy.
Dude, that's a gang crime.
Yes.
This is like, they make movies about this.
This is the whole plot of Rush Hour.
One and two.
Look, we all make mistakes.
Who among us hasn't recruited two other Jamaican bodyguards and kidnapped a teenager while destroying their father's life, holding him for ransom, pistol-whipping him in the cock?
I think it's also the plot of Bad Boys 2. I could go on.
There's so many fucking movies, dude.
Who is not in my house?
Before you...
Before you read this about the account of what happened, it says, prosecutors and Mr. Blair differ on what happened next.
By prosecutors, they mean the guy who was kidnapped, pissed or whipped, and tied up.
And his family.
Here's the other thing, too.
Do you have any other evidence that he did?
I know this doesn't always mean, but again, the cops found the teenager tied up in the apartment.
That's how they found him, because they raided the house.
And then the two other suspects involved in the kidnapping pled guilty.
Meanwhile, the guy whose apartment it was in said, "No!
I didn't do it!
I didn't know!"
Back to the background point.
The New York Times doesn't care about you.
They know that this is a guy who was here, who had no business being here, who was involved in a gang crime, kidnapping a teenager, tying him up, pistol whipping him, and God knows what he put his father through.
And the cops found the kid.
And then the other two people involved with the crime admitted it.
Like, yeah, we did it.
If we can't deport this person, who can we deport?
Honestly.
They're sure to mention, though, that the other suspects pleaded guilty in exchange for reduced sentences.
Right.
So why didn't he?
They made sure to do that.
Yeah.
Because he's innocent.
Well, here's the good...
No, hey, look, maybe there's a twist.
Okay.
Oh, you know what?
You're right.
It's a long article.
Yeah, yeah.
Otherwise, they wouldn't write this giant pile of shit, right?
Spoiler, I read it.
Mr. Blair pleaded not guilty.
Yeah.
I'm the odd one out.
He pled not guilty and went to trial in 2006 and faced seven felony counts, including kidnapping and weapons charges.
Mr. Blair admitted that he demanded money from the teenager, but maintains that he never held him against his will, never hit him with a gun, and never tied him up.
Yeah, just like that pedophile in Russia, he tied himself up.
Yeah, exactly.
So you never held him against his will.
The only way he was extracted was when the SWAT team came.
He could have left at any time!
And the guns were out from what I've read too.
The guns were there and out.
They're always out!
Two handguns.
Yeah, two handguns.
And the other two guys said, yeah, we did it.
But they lied.
No, no, the kid was there voluntarily for three days and two nights.
With no food or...
And it was a misunderstanding when I called the father and said, you're going to give $5,000 or you'll never see your son again.
It's a joke in Jamaica!
It's Jamaican.
You don't have that joke here.
It's like the calling saying, do you have Prince Albert in a can?
But instead, I'm kidnapping your son.
Hey, how many ounces in a pound?
I'm not, I don't know the...
16. 16 ounces in a pound?
Is that right?
What's 16 times 200?
I don't think it adds up to 5,000.
Well, it's at least two and a half pounds because the guy, the other guy, took a half pound.
They said it was two and a half.
What he stole was a half pound.
I'm trying to think what he was, what the ransom money was.
What was he looking to see?
Was he seeking the amount, the value?
That's a good point.
Because that's, I mean, I get, like, yeah, you stole this much money.
He stole half a pound is what he said.
Half a pound?
Yeah, so eight ounces.
Eight ounces.
What, $1,600?
Wow, how do you know that?
Thank you.
Yeah, so if it's $200 an ounce, I mean, granted, this is in 2005, it's different.
Yeah.
But if you go, which is, it's not, that's not cheap, $200 an ounce.
Shut up!
It's what we call a finder's fee!
Aggravation charges.
But then he does the victim thing, right?
Okay.
So, the other guys plead guilty.
The cops had to raid the house.
They find two guns.
They find the kid tied up.
They find injuries.
All right.
During the two-week trial, Mr. Blair testified that police officers beat him while he was chained to a desk and coerced testimony that was used at the trial.
Is there any proof of that?
Hold on.
At this point, in other words, it's clearly you've got nothing.
We don't need testimony.
We also don't need two weeks to figure this out.
It's like when you pull a guy over for going 15 on the freeway and his eyes are red.
You might not smell marijuana, but you say I smell marijuana in the car.
It's like the lawyer going like, yeah, and then also say that they roughed you up.
Yeah, exactly.
Say they want you.
Here's the thing.
They said...
They coerced testimony.
Can we find this testimony, guys?
In other words, that means...
Now, unless he's saying they coerced the testimony of the other guys who pled guilty, where he was trying to...
By beating him?
Yeah, but he was saying they beat him, which means he basically admitted to something and tried to undo it.
So he sat down with his pro bono Columbia lawyer, and he said, okay, so tell me, is there anything I should know?
Like, well, I admitted to it.
What?
I admitted it!
But you didn't do it.
I did!
No, you just say they beat you.
I don't understand.
What were you saying?
They said it's not publicly available.
Oh, okay.
I wonder why the New York Times asked this one.
You know, here's the thing is, that could be possible.
It could be like an episode of some kind of, I don't know, 2005 crime show.
But after all the other things, you're like, I don't...
I don't think so.
Yeah.
No, I don't believe so either.
After all the other things, it's like, yeah, I doubt it.
It's a pretty clear-cut case.
I don't think they need a confession out of you.
They found a kid tied up in your apartment with weed.
And guns.
And guns.
And two other guys who were like, we did it!
From the kid's father.
It's like...
I don't think that's evidence they need.
The whole case took two weeks.
It was just everyone.
Guilty.
There actually was.
There was some heavy deliberation.
Really?
Yes.
Okay.
All right.
There was.
Is there something I'm missing?
No, it's a few days.
It's somewhere in here.
Okay, okay, okay.
All right, I'll find it.
Okay.
I'm looking through the pages.
I see LGBTQ community.
I don't know what that heart string is being pulled.
Is he gay?
No, I don't.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Here's something else that I find funny.
Upon returning to Jamaica, Mr. Blair focused on his immediate needs, buying clothes, getting his belongings shipped, finding out how to obtain an ID.
It's like, oh, so they make you do that in Jamaica?
And they don't just give you free clothes and figure that out?
Like, here in the United States, they expect you to make your own way and have ID?
Here's where it says, the jury struggled to render a verdict, and a mistrial seemed possible.
Oh, okay, so the New York Times, right, so there was a mistrial.
But a judge instructed the jurors to continue deliberating after they said they were deadlocked, according to the court documents, which are not public.
After five days of deliberations, the jury found Mr. Blair guilty of kidnapping in the first degree, but not the other charges.
The weapons charges of the...
Guns that were clearly found.
They were there when I got there!
Yeah, exactly.
They probably were sentenced to the other guys.
Okay, now we have another chapter.
I'm sorry, guys, we could just...
I hope...
This one's for us.
A metamorphosis in prison.
Okay, all right.
Metamorphosis in prison.
So...
It's a fun prison that he went to.
It sounds like a Disney movie.
So it wants you to believe, like, you guys may not remember this, too.
They did this whole thing with Tukey Williams.
And I think people can be rehabilitated.
But there was a huge civil rights protest.
Tukey Williams, how could they put him?
How could they put him to death?
Well, Tukey Williams, I believe, was involved with the murder, the Crips, the killing of four different people on three separate occasions, if I'm not mistaken.
And then when he was in prison, they said, oh, he wrote children's books, sure.
But he never gave up the information that would have led to the arrest of those people who likely were out there, they were still members of the Crips, killing people.
So it's like, yeah, okay, we get that you want to check your little bingo card saying, look, I'm rehabilitated, but where you can actually make a difference, there are still those gang members, the gang that you helped found out there on the street, right?
They're hurting people, they're killing people.
Tukey Williams never helped with that.
But he wrote a pop-up book.
There you go.
That's not enough.
Was the pop a gunshot?
Yeah, I'm kidding.
Now remember that because this man, Mr. Blair, he began writing poetry that he published online and in a newsletter that he circulated inside the prison.
Huh?
And he got married in 2012 to a Jamaican woman.
What?
Who visited him while he was in prison.
Afforded conjugal visits.
What?
They had a son in 2014, but later divorced.
Who could have seen that one coming?
You think he divorced her because he didn't realize that marrying an also Jamaican doesn't give him the right to stay?
Right.
I can't believe people in prison would not use protection.
Yeah, exactly.
I can't believe they gave him a conjugal visit.
I can't.
I mean...
Why?
Guy's got a bone.
Yeah, but this is prison.
That's part of it, I think.
I don't know.
I think that's a normal thing, right?
It almost seems like if you look at this, he met her while he was in prison and she was banging him while he was in prison.
And then he immediately left her that he almost didn't actually care about her and was just banging her.
Surely it goes into how he's a great father here.
So, yes, yes, exactly.
Surely. Surely it must.
Surely that's not the last mention of his fatherhood.
It must be.
Yeah, it must go into what a present father he is.
OK, here's a.
But on the day of his release, ICE informed the prison that it would not detain Mr. Blair.
He said.
What? Still, when his aunt picked him up outside the prison, Mr. Blair sprinted to the car and reclined the passenger seat so he was hidden from view in case.
I hope ice was waiting down the street to make you think you got away.
And it doesn't mention...
It mentions earlier, but it mentions not...
It makes sure not to mention here, cleverly, that the year was 2020.
Oh.
2020.
So relatively recent.
So it's almost like...
No, the timing of it is...
Yeah.
It's great.
Yeah.
Trump's out, Biden's in.
Well, Trump was in in 2020.
2020, yeah, but everyone kind of...
No, but this also means that the majority of his time in the United States was spent in prison.
Yes.
Pretty much all of it.
Yeah, within the first year.
He spent six years out of prison, 15 in.
I went to Queens and then Rikers.
He also visited Buffalo, Pennsylvania.
He got a few prisons under his belt, you know?
Okay.
All right.
Executive Platinum.
So here we go.
You talk about his fiancée.
Oh, sorry, but his fiancée is separate from the woman he was banging in prison who he met while he was in prison.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, different lady.
He lived with his fiancée who was also Jamaican and had been caring for her after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Okay.
So hopefully he stays with...
That is sad.
Yeah.
It is.
Five years had gone by since prison.
He had recently purchased an 18-foot box truck.
Intending to one day have a trucking fleet.
So I was told that he started a trucking company.
It sounds like he has dreams of starting a trucking company.
You could have a trucking company with one truck.
He gave it up for kidnapping.
And he was thinking of buying a house next year.
That's also everybody.
Always.
I own a house.
I'm also thinking of buying one next year.
I constantly think of buying houses.
Just like, ah, it'd be cool if I could just buy all the houses.
But I just...
Okay, BlackRock, do it.
And then I'm like, ah, I only need the one.
You can buy more if you want.
Yeah, I just think about it.
Every vacation, I think about buying a house here.
I'm like, ah, this is really nice.
I should buy a house here.
And then instead, I buy an 18-foot box truck.
You know, yesterday...
Think about starting a trucking fleet.
Yesterday, I was thinking about buying an island.
Yeah, yeah, me too.
Then I realized...
I don't have money.
No.
How many trucks do you need for a fleet?
I would imagine more than one.
More than one, you think?
I think it's the definition.
But there's no singular...
No!
I have a dream of being the first single truck fleet!
I have the QT fleet gas cart, though!
Like, this is such bullcrap!
Can we go back?
When they start the article, what was it?
What was the article where it started where it said he was...
Hold on a second.
Let me find...
You said a chapter.
Which chapter was it?
Well, because early on...
Hold on.
I think I might have...
We're going through this.
One second.
We'll do it live with our friends.
Okay.
Hold on.
Is Chad loving us or hating it, by the way?
They're loving it.
Okay.
Because I'm like...
Is it just us or...
This is ridiculous.
Yeah.
There was a whole thing where it talked about earlier.
It talked about him starting a trucking fleet.
That's what I mean.
Five years had gone by since prison.
In the beginning.
It was trying to make him out to be this entrepreneur.
He's done this.
He started a trucking company.
He's done all these things.
Hold on a second.
Yeah, hustling, dealing.
Jamaican side dealing.
Hold on a second.
You guys keep reading it all.
Keep reading it all fine.
Because early on, we just read it, right?
Where they were like, oh yeah, he did.
He had a trucking fleet.
And now they're like, he bought a truck and thought about an apartment twice.
You go, Josh.
It's probably the top where it says he was handcuffed.
There's something earlier where it says, where one of these ladies that was protesting says, I feel like if Mr. Trump met Mr. Blair, he would think that he is what makes America great.
We've got it.
Call President Trump.
That's what she said.
It was his criminal past that had gotten him deported from the United States, where he had been rebuilding his life and seeing redemption.
He had earned two college degrees, started a trucking business.
So thinking about starting a business is starting a business.
Well, he earned two college degrees.
That's pretty cool.
I wonder how he paid for it.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Yeah, and how does he still have the free cash for thinking about buying a house?
How did he pay for two college degrees?
Us.
Sold a lot of weed.
No offense, but I...
Actually, offense.
I don't know how he came up with the money.
Was it the marijuana money from before?
Look, don't blame me that you can't afford two college degrees.
Pull yourself up by your kidnapping bootstraps.
Good point.
Just kidnap a few more people, get a few more ransoms.
How many ransoms did it take?
It was DeVry, I think.
It's like free education for prisoners?
Is that a thing?
I don't know.
Like how military people get it?
Okay.
Alright.
Hold on a second.
They eat the same food.
I'm so tired.
That juxtaposition is rough, Josh.
Okay.
I know.
That's why I said it.
Guys, there's still so many more chapters.
Are you serious?
You still have the tabs.
Oh my gosh.
It's 2025.
I usually don't have to have tabs on a New York Times article when I print it.
Are we at rebuilding yet?
Yes.
Rebuilding.
Again.
In Jamaica.
Now remember, all cultures are equal.
Or you could say building.
Yeah.
There is no re.
The comforts Mr. Blair took for granted in the United States vanished in Jamaica.
Like a free education?
Free food?
Oh my god.
Camaraderie of other cellmates?
I don't understand.
Just a few days after arriving, Mr. Blair was showering and flushing with buckets of water as the family dealt.
With a water outage, a frequent occurrence.
Hey, can you guys bring up, and I like him, but Conan O 'Brien, remember when Donald Trump said that Haiti was a shithole, or he said like these shithole countries?
And then Conan O 'Brien took a picture of him in the water and was like, Haiti has always been beautiful.
It was a whole campaign.
It's always been beautiful.
Because Haiti is even worse than Jamaica, but as far as poverty, Jamaica's really bad.
So keep in mind, this is the same left that tells you these countries are beautiful.
You have no right to say that they are inferior.
Who would ever use the term shithole?
I don't know.
You're talking about how...
There's the photo.
Yeah.
He's going, Haiti was always beautiful.
Now, just pan that camera two degrees.
He had to go half a mile off the coast.
And you'll see Papa Doc standing over there.
There's someone waiting on the shore with a two-by-four and a nail in it.
Yeah, the black people are a hundred yards away behind him.
Yeah, exactly.
We've got about one minute until we're going to be raiding to Tim Poole, so don't forget.
Mr. Blair was home.
Wait, wait, wait.
He was home?
He was home?
I thought it wasn't home!
It doesn't feel like home!
But without a job.
Maybe he can start a trucking company down there.
I heard trucks are cheap, so you don't have to go very far.
And living in a house that needed repairs.
He went from thinking about buying one to being in one that needed repairs.
Hold on, hold on.
It seems like he got to be in a house for free.
This sounds like a better deal.
He's with family, which it kind of seems tone deaf to me that they're talking about how shitty of a life this guy is having now.
Living in the same conditions his family he abandoned have been living in the last 21 years.
He's reunited.
He says, This is my freaking reality after I worked so hard.
What am I going to do?
Well, why don't you just keep working hard?
Yeah, there you go.
You could still work hard in Jamaica.
Yeah, work hard in Jamaica.
Hey, by the way, if you were thinking of buying a house, I would imagine you have some cash.
Imagine you have some disposable income.
You'd probably have another stash of three pounds of weed.
I mean, you're a two-time collegiate graduate.
I don't think there's any weed in Jamaica.
No, you can't find.
No, you can't sell it there.
Everybody has it.
There's one.
I don't need to buy your weed, man.
I got my own plant.
It's a saturated market.
Oh, you're going to sell me one or two, man.
There's one dumb Jamaican there who's like, does anyone know what I can do?
Help me!
I have glaucoma!
Alright, this next one needs to be read in a f***ing voice.
That's not what I said.
For a muscular man who speaks with great self-confidence about his soccer skills, his intellect, his business acumen, his life transformation, that means he's talking about himself.
Yes.
Like, I'm the best soccer player ever!
Bailey couldn't wash my balls!
Call up FIFA.
I have the best business document.
I thought a fleet of trucks was one.
Like you just said before, why can't you do it in Jamaica?
He tried tapping into the restless energy that had rubbed off on him in New York to keep busy with his immediate needs.
Formally quitting the job he left behind, he didn't really need to do that.
No, not so much.
I would like to send in my little resignation.
Hold on, I thought you owned a truck and started your own business.
Did you resign to yourself?
How do you formally do it?
I wrote myself an email from a separate account.
Was this truck written?
Jamaica, okay.
Getting his belongings shipped to Jamaica.
Finding out how to obtain a local ID.
And dealing with a stray bull roaming the backyard.
What?
All cultures are equal.
Oh, when I was in Yonkers, I never had to worry about angry bulls.
Do you think the stray bull is a cow or just a man who wants to bang him?
Well, that's just Jeff, the neighborhood bull.
Without a job or car, Mr. Blair mostly languished in his sister's home, even as he expressed fear of becoming a burden to her.
So hold on a second.
Wait a second.
I don't fully understand.
Hold on.
But without a job and living in a home that needs repairs.
Okay.
His sister had carved out an abandoned and run-down section of the house for Mr. Blair to fix up as his own.
Abandoned?
So his family isn't doing...
In other words, they're living as many Jamaicans as most Jamaicans do.
Yeah, but how do you abandon part of your home?
Well, there was a big hole in the floor.
I mean, there's maybe a room that you don't use as much, but I wouldn't call that like an abandoned portion, a wing of the estate.
What are you talking about?
I mean, I don't even know that ownership laws apply there.
It is a different place.
It's a hard place to live, and he doesn't want to be a burden to his sister, so maybe he should get his hands dirty and build some fucking house.
Yeah, exactly.
Sorry, I didn't mean to curse like that.
What happened to his fiancée?
Well...
Yeah, what is she...
They said Jamaican fiancée.
Is she Jamaican in Jamaica?
By the way...
No way!
Hey, can we bring this up?
Wasn't Jamaica listed as having pretty damn good healthcare on that international list of social...
Oh, you're right.
We were right below...
Was it Lithuania or Columbia?
Lithuania?
I wonder if it's higher than us on the list of happiness.
Yeah, Jamaica.
Yeah, exactly.
So the fiancée.
So either she doesn't want to go to Jamaica or...
She might be illegal here in America.
Yeah, she might be illegal here in America.
Maybe she is legal in America.
And she doesn't want to go back.
Maybe she's on a visa and she doesn't want to go back, which is understandable.
I will say, his relationships don't really seem to have that sticky factor.
No.
What about this kid?
Well, we don't talk about him.
We don't talk about the bastard.
His name must be Bruno.
The little bastard's lucky I made him.
Into prison walls.
He was like pain.
He was born in the dark.
I love a guy complaining about his situation while also creating...
A lifetime of struggle for another human being.
I know.
I know.
A fatherless child who would appear to have been fatherless for a while while he was even in the States.
And by the way, they even say...
Because they would have pulled that heartstring if they could have.
Yeah.
If they could have called him an outstanding citizen and an upstanding father, they would have put that in here seven times.
I bet you the divorce record is public because it says later divorced.
I'm willing to bet he divorced her.
That's what I'm willing to bet.
Well, he got out of prison three days later and was like, bye!
Yeah, he had five years to spend with his kid after getting out of prison.
Yeah, five years.
Five years to be a father, right?
Piece of shit.
Probably didn't even leave his trucking fleet to him.
No, he probably sold the truck.
Kidnappers and sons!
It's a family business!
Your grandfather was a kidnapper!
Your father was a kidnapper!
And by God, you'll be a kidnapper.
The second I find out somebody is an absent, is a totally, I don't want to say absent father, but a totally uninvolved father.
I have zero sympathy.
Yeah.
Zero sympathy.
And by the way, there are multiple steps.
Here's also proof.
When they say more education would solve, it would solve the out-of-wedlock birth problem.
This is a guy with two degrees, right?
He's a self-made man who's accomplished, apparently the best undiscovered soccer star in the world.
He could pass those skills on.
He didn't know, even though I guarantee you, they warn you during college visits.
I'm pretty sure they provide them, didn't use it, conceived a kid, and then left.
So many, many, education doesn't solve it.
Maybe a dirtbag.
Yeah.
Noodles, were you...
They sent in the healthcare stats.
And yeah, they're 67. We're 69. So good on them.
69, nice.
So why doesn't your fiancé go down to that Jamaica, get that breast cancer treated by your world-class voodoo doctor?
Watch out for the bull.
If we can get scale of happiness, watch out for the bull.
That's the doctor.
You just go in like, I think I have a lump.
All right.
We have a protocol.
You have to sacrifice a rooster.
And throw the bones.
I swear it works.
As he began taking in the island, a drive by his school, a visit to the hotel kitchen where he used to toil.
What is that?
I thought work hard.
Yeah, toil.
Toil.
Then he applied his toiling skills to kidnapping.
Yes, wow.
But realized he was on an island.
Couldn't get away.
A stroll on the field where he pursued his soccer-playing dreams.
Again with that.
But I thought it didn't feel like home.
I thought I didn't know this place.
There's a young black American kid in New York City that would love for a father to teach him how to play soccer right now.
Yep.
You're exactly right.
Yep.
By the way, you know the place that would feel most like home to this guy in the United States?
Prison.
It's true.
It's where he spent most of his time here.
It's where he spent most of his time.
Like, Jamaica, it goes in order of if home is where the heart is, you know, where you spend the most amount of time.
For him, it goes, I don't know, probably prison, then Jamaica.
Then wherever else he lived.
Maybe it's Jamaica prison.
I don't know.
Maybe we can confirm his age.
But certainly 15 years in prison was more...
He's 44 now.
Okay, so he's 44. So he spent more time in Jamaica than here, but not by a lot.
Not by a lot, and most of his time here in prison.
It looks like, at least.
Yeah.
23 to 21. Yeah.
15 years in prison, six years out of prison in the United States.
He's like, this place doesn't feel like home.
Well...
Oh, I missed this solitary.
I wonder how many senators are going to go visit Jamaica.
I can't sleep without the cries of a man in the middle of the night.
That's right.
I need to be Little Spoon.
Now, he also said...
I can't shower alone, man.
No one tried to rape me in the shower.
I don't feel wanted.
By the way, Josh and I agree with this.
Sometimes it's nice to be Little Spoon as a guy.
Yeah, definitely.
No, no, I just mean, especially when you're like, oh, I'm not always the one who has to...
Yeah, sometimes that hand drifts a little south.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Usually because I move it.
It drifts like my boat does when I steer it.
Mr. Blair's Jamaica seems smaller to him.
In comparison to prison?
You mean you grew up and everything isn't small anymore?
Okay. After the airport, Mr. Blair's sister took her and handled the car.
If you're occupied with a mugshot and fingerprints painting, I had no idea how he would begin
It's not the deportation.
It's the reason.
It's the original history.
It's the reason for the deportation.
Yes.
Yeah.
His prospects dimmed about a month after his arrival when local news outlets wrote about his deportation.
Sorry, his deportation after ICE issued a news release with his photo publicizing his kidnapping conviction and touting his removal from the United States.
Oh no, I lost my job at the daycare!
I love to, even right before that, it says...
This deportation is not going to be good for his resume, his sister said.
They're going to assume the worst.
No, I bet you, before they have the information, they'd be like, oh, he was deported from the States?
That's been going around.
Did he overstay a visa?
Yeah, yeah, that was mainly it and the kidnapping.
What?
Huh?
That was some kidnapping there.
What was that?
Yeah, well, I had a thought this would happen when in high school he won the award of most likely to be kidnapping.
Yeah.
What did you do for the 15 years?
It's like they're going to assume the worst.
They would not assume kidnapping.
No.
They would assume visa overstay.
Yes, exactly.
They would assume maybe some kind of tax thing.
I've known people.
It doesn't even show up.
I mean, are you serious?
They're reading the resume.
They're like, yeah, 15 years for kidnapping.
I guess we're fine with that.
Deportation?
No.
Especially with how the mainstream media is selling this deportation operation by this administration.
They're selling it as this witch hunt.
This racist hunt for everyone who's not a white American.
Yeah.
And then you think they're going to assume the worst.
No.
The worst they're going to assume is that he was deported for no reason.
He had a perfectly good visa.
He's a college graduate, for crying out loud.
He's a father.
That's what they're going to assume.
Okay.
Here you go.
Hold on.
Let me just read the end of it.
Because this is how they want to leave you.
They want to leave you remembering that.
Ignore all the kidnapping.
Ignore all this.
Something about breakfast.
On a recent Sunday morning, the sun seeped.
Into the hilltop house as Mr. Blair's nephew picked June plums from the backyard to make fresh juice.
At gunpoint.
Make the fresh juice!
Watch out for the bull!
His grandmother made the bed while his sister cooked breakfast.
Beef liver, cooked banana, dumplings, and coffee.
Hey, if she's giving you a place to stay, notice he's not doing any of it.
How am I gonna get a job?
Thanks for the fresh juice.
You're making breakfast, what you're cooking.
I'll be back in the hammock.
His sister and grandmother and family, I want to be on the record saying, I like them.
They seem like good people.
They're taking care of their family.
They didn't do anything wrong here.
They all sat to eat next to two giant barrels awkwardly placed by the dining table.
The barrels were stuffed with rice, canned beans, sacks of sugar, and bottles of cooking oil.
The dry goods Mr. Blair used to ship from New York.
Sorry, the dry goods Mr. Blair used to ship from New York to help feed his family.
Now they were feeding him too.
Also, at the bottom of the barrel, they found 18 pounds of meth.
Ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
It's just as believable.
This story.
Oh, how did that gun get in there?
Oh, that's what we call the bonus gun.
It's like Cracker Jack.
You ship a little sugar and no one knows.
Oh, there's a Browning High Power in there.
It's like a box of the Captain Crunch.
How did it get in there?
Here's the media talking about this.
Maybe there's a sticker too.
Look at this.
Fact check.
New York Times article did not fail to mention his kidnapping conviction in prison sense.
Thank you for the fact check.
Well, that's not what we said.
We didn't say they failed to mention it.
We said they downplayed it and misled about all...
So stupid.
By the way, his nephew is making the plum juice.
Are they hilltop home?
What's that?
It sounds nice.
The hilltop home as the sun...
They painted it as like he's living in paradise now.
I know.
Yeah, but they're also on an island where they would have sugar cane, and he has to ship it.
Well, maybe it's cheaper in the U.S. somehow.
I know Jamaica's run by, like, gangs and stuff in a lot of places, but it's...
I'm sorry you screwed up your island, okay?
We didn't do it.
I'm not sorry.
You guys did it.
I'm not sorry.
No, I meant the people in general.
You should have not screwed up Paradise.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sorry.
When I was in Guantanamo Bay, there were a lot of Jamaicans who worked there, and a lot of the guys who were working there were constantly getting mugged by them.
What?
Yeah.
I went deep sea fishing with a guy who was like a real life Ralphie Mae.
He was like 400 pounds.
And I remember I had some fish in the cooler that we had caught.
He was like, oh man, you gotta put that away.
You can't just walk around that cool.
You gotta put it there.
I got a spare cooler.
You gotta put it in there.
He goes, well I'm telling you, last week I had a Jamaican.
He said, they love bonefish.
They go nuts.
I said, one guy came out and he had enough.
I said, you motherfuckers gonna stab me with a bonefish.
And he showed me the cut.
The guy stabbed him with a penknife for a bonefish.
Seriously?
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Did he kill the guy?
No, I didn't kill the guy.
I mean, I think it was a surface wound because he was really fat.
That doesn't matter.
You got stabbed.
That's the headline.
