| 0:00.0 | Tonight, on Let It Rip, from Heroes to Zeros, two Michigan bozos who couldn't manage their own campaigns. |
| 0:07.3 | Former Detroit police chief James E. Craig and self-annoyed equality guru Perry Johnson |
| 0:12.4 | both kicked off the Republican primary ballot for governor after turning in thousands of fake signatures. |
| 0:19.1 | And now, your host, RIP ROG. |
| 0:23.0 | Good evening. It's time to let it rip. Let's get right into it. Chief, you were the front runner. |
| 0:28.8 | Now, you're in yesterday's newspapers. We'll let me tell you something. I'm a cop. |
| 0:35.5 | And I'm not going to stand for this. This is Craig. And I'm a cop. And? That's it. I'm a cop. |
