Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakamoemiti a Barack Obama i te whakaari a te roopu US The Wire hei 'tetahi o nga mahi toi nui rawa atu i roto i nga tau tekau tau kua hipa' i roto i te uiui me tana kaihanga. I kii te Perehitini ki a David Simon he tino kaiwhaiwhai ia mo te raupapa HBO rongonui mo te koiora i roto i te Baltimore e pa ana ki te tarukino, i te wa e korerorero ana mo te whakarereke i te whakawakanga. He ataata o te kōrerorero 12-meneti, e pā ana ki te hiahia ki te whakaiti i te herehere o te hunga hara tarukino kore, i whakaaturia i te Huihuinga Tika Tika Tangata a Bipartisan i Washington. Huihuinga: Ka kōrero a Perehitini Barack Obama ki te kaihanga o The Wire a David Simon mō te pakanga ki ngā tarukino. I kii te perehitini ko te hunga e rapu ana i nga rongoā ki te pakanga tarukino me 'whakamarikitia te mea he maha tonu, i runga i nga purongo a rohe, he tini noa iho o nga ahuatanga pouri me te korero i o raatau korero.' 'Koinei te wāhi i tino hira ai te mahi i mahia e koe,' ka mea ia ki a Mr Simon. 'Kei te piki haere te mohio ki te taha maui, engari ki te taha matau hoki, i runga i nga mahi torangapu, ko ta tatou e mahi nei he kino,' i kii ia. Fan: I whakamoemiti a Perehitini Obama ki te The Wire, i wheturangitia e Dominic West, Larry Gilliard Jr. me Wendell Pierce (i whakaahuatia) hei 'tuhi toi' nui. Whakamoemiti nui: I kii a Perehitini Obama he 'kaitautoko nui' ia mo te Wire, i wheturangitia e te pirihimana a James 'Jimmy' McNulty (Dominic West) me te Kaitirotiro a William 'Bunk' Moreland (Wendell Pierce). 'Mai i tētahi tirohanga ā-iwi, he raruraru te āhua o tātau maimoatanga ki ngā hara tarukino kore-tino, ā, mai i tētahi tirohanga ā-pūtea, ka pakaru te pēke, ka nui ake te whakapaunga ki te whare herehere i tātau e whakapau ki ēnei tamariki e haere ana ki te kura, e haere ana rānei ki te whare wānanga, e whai hua ana.' I korero ia mo nga tangata e hurihia ana hei 'kaipahua kino' i te wa e mauheretia ana, na te mea i hanga he huringa o ratou hoki ki te whare herehere. Ka mea a Obama ko ngā rongoā ki te pakanga tarukino e hiahiatia ana hei 'whakatūnga i te mea i te nuinga o te wā, i runga i ngā rongoā ā-rohe, he rōpū o ngā pūāhua pōuri noa iho, me te kōrero i ō rātou kōrero' i āwhina a The Wire. Ngā kōrero: Ka tūtaki a Barack Obama ki te kaihanga o The Wire, a David Simon i te White House hei matapaki i te herehere o te tarukino...
I kōrero te Tumuaki mō te whakahoutanga o te whakawa ā-ture ki a David Simon. I kii a Te Waea kua awhina i te'whaka-tangata'i te iwi i roto i te pakanga tarukino. Ko tā te kaituhi o te pukapuka a Haimona i kī ko te pakanga ki te tarukino i whakangaro i ngā mea kāore i oti i a ia. He whakaaturanga 12 meneti i whakatangihia i te Huihuinga Tika Tangata a Te Rōpū Tuarua.
