  Lamar Cordell : Mm-mm-mm. This is America, y'all, in 2023, where the free-thinkers who've red-pilled themselves from the sheep, well...

  Detective Frank Cosgrove : Will you just answer the question? Did you threaten Jacob Ackerman's life?

  Lamar Cordell : I am the victim here. Look, Ackerman and his tribe are trying to stop people from learning the unsanctioned truth of what they've done to us, my brother.

  Detective Jalen Shaw : Oh, no. I am not your brother in this, OK? Your brand of crazy, that's all you

  Detective Frank Cosgrove : I hate to break the news to you, buddy, but when it comes to being a victim, Ackerman's definitely got you beat.

  Lamar Cordell : How's that?

  Detective Jalen Shaw : He was murdered this morning. And you happened to threaten to do that to him three days ago, brother.

  Lamar Cordell : Well, I didn't mean it literally. Look, I wasn't gonna kill him. I was I was saying I was gonna make him a martyr for his cause.

  Detective Frank Cosgrove : Well, that clears that up.

  Lamar Cordell : Look, the more he and I fought, the more people paid attention. More attention brings in clicks, and more clicks, more money.Look, I don't believe half the things I say. But that's how the game is played.

  Detective Frank Cosgrove : Oh, so you're saying you two were friends?

  Lamar Cordell : No, I needed him. Like I stated, he's good for business.

  Detective Jalen Shaw : OK. Where were you 6:00 a.m. this morning?

  Lamar Cordell : Here, like every other day.
