Speaker 1 (00:00):
I just found out that one of the series that
I gave up on because you know, during the whole
COVID thing when everything stopped, I was streaming stuff and
I really, I really really like this show. But it
took forever for the next season to come, which was
would have been their season three. They did a season three,
which I didn't really bother to watch, and then apparently
(00:21):
a season four to close it out. So now that
I know that it's closed out and there was a
fourth season in twenty twenty four, I guess I'm going
to go back and watch it. It's called Upload. You
ever watch Upload?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I've never even heard of it.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I'm guessing it's a tech show. Not at all. It's
a death show, and it's it was really very creative. Essentially,
when you die, instead of going away, the essence of you,
your existence could be uploaded to the cloud and companies
would would store you in a world where you, you know,
(00:57):
your brain, your mind, your memories were all still living
on this computer chip. And the more money you had
or your family had, the better your life was, if
you want to call it, a life in computer world.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
So you can still be poor in computer world.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Right, and those people their families could only afford like
one gig of streaming per month, So those poor people
barely even moved. But the wealthy they were able to
finance a very nice existence. And you could actually cyber
visit your dearly departed in computer world as well. And
(01:39):
there was a love story in there. That was it was.
It was a technical show, it was a futuristic show.
It was a romantic show. I really really liked it.
And now that I know they did a fourth and
final season, I'm gonna find a way to stream this upload.
It's on Prime Video, by the way, if you if
you like stuff like that. It's very interesting talking about this,
(02:00):
this raid of the Omaha meat processing plan. Glenn Valley Foods,
and the owner stands by, stands by the story. We
did everything right. We did the background checks, the e verify,
we did all that. They presented their documents. We hired him.
I had no idea I was I was employing, you know,
(02:20):
seventy percent of my workforce was illegal. But that's what
he found out in an ice raid. Whether you believe
him or not, Pat called earlier. He says, the meat
industry is just dirty and they know what they're doing.
I don't know. I don't know, but let's say, let's
say pass right. There are other industries out there, probably
caught in the same thing. You know, there's plenty of
businesses out there that are a mom and pop maybe
(02:42):
graduated high school, but maybe not just just folks making
a living. Maybe they run a logistics service and have
truck drivers that they employee, or maybe they maybe it's
a farm. They bought some land and they got a farm,
they got some some hands work in the farm. Just
(03:04):
basic folks and they think they're obeying the law, and
then something like that happens. Should we, as reasonable people
not at least have the conversation that these small businesses
might deserve some sort of compensation to keep the business
(03:27):
alive when they lose all of those employees and they've
got to hire, you know, when you got to rehire
seventy percent of your workforce, man, that's going to take
a couple of minutes. And especially a small business, or
especially a small business in a small town, that maybe
what keeps the dollars flowing there for all. You know,
(03:48):
I don't think it's unreasonable to at least have that conversation.
A two one nine eight eighty six h two one
WTVN Dipper, you're on six to ten do w UTVN.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Yeah, Pat, Pat was correct. As a truck driver, I'd
go to all these different places. I'd go a lot
of dairy farms. I done some work with some of
the lot, a lot of the construction industry, and I
would say ninety percent of the employees I run across
are Hispanic or other nationalities. So usually I know in
(04:19):
the in the beef industry, I think there's like four
major ones, and I know, like the big ones, like
National Beef out of Liberal Kansas. They got a pretty
big one. I know on the West side Columbus, I
think you have Virtual Wood Foods. I used to do
service for them. They do a pretty good job in verifying,
but they all know. I think these big ones know
(04:40):
that the SOD Security number they're given don't match up.
If the person can't speak a lick of English, you know,
darn will that that is not a valid Social Security number.
And unfortunately, for years we've we've looked the other way.
The federal governments looked the other way because big businesses
the bodies in there, and so everyone looks the other
(05:03):
way and that has been the game. So now we
need to clean it up.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Let me ask you, dipper on putting aside every business
that you know to be dirty. Mom and pop family
farm employees, fifty people did their e check. They don't
know ice from a hole in the ground.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Man.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
They think they're doing the right thing and ice comes
in and takes away forty nine of their fifty people.
Should that family farm be able to say, hey, can
you help us out until we can hire some more
people because we're in trouble here.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Well, that was a big issue was a lot of
the Western That's the dirty little thing that the states were.
The Western states were scared when Trump was gonna win
because they knew he was going to force the immigration
laws and they're looking at their workforce. Omahall is a
big example of it. If you look at Omaho, I
bet you that they probably voted for Kamala Harris because
that's the one area that that Nebraska is separate is
(05:56):
Omaha because of it leans a little bit more blue.
I think we're going to have to work a way through.
There's two big issues we have in this country. One
is our young kids don't want to work and The
other problem is past right, you have to start, you know,
making more. Uh, increase your wages, because who wants to
(06:18):
go and butcher cowls for twelve dollars an hour every day?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I mean, I got you.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
It's tough work.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I got you. I appreciate the call different be safe
out there on the roads. But eight two one nine
six eight two one WTV and Joe, you're on the
Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone lines.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yes, hello, Chuck's first time caller.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Well, thank you, I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Uh. I worked at a factory on road and growth
there loves that had the same situation. We're eighty percent
of the workforce plus building. How I know they were illegal?
I was friends with the play manager and wrote back
and forth forth with him. They don't care the E file.
(07:04):
All it does is make sure that the name and
social Security numbers. Then we had one gentleman that his
ideas said he was sixty three and he wasn't a
day over twenty. Most of the plans that hire them
don't care. They do what they're supposed to do to
stay legal, but they don't care.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Well, see now, Joe. In that case, I'd have no
sympathy on that company. It's obviously your twenty three year
old man, and the ID says sixty three that company
then intentionally broke the law, and I would have no
sympathy for them whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yes, I worked there for three and a half years,
and I say eighty percent of the population of the
workforce was there dealing. That's all I have.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Thank I appreciate you making this your first time calling Joe.
Please feel free to call back any time.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Man.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Welcome here A two one nine at eighty six A
two one WTV. And I you know, I'm not I
am not in any way saying that all businesses are are,
you know, crisp and clean and all that. I know
that there are people out there who take advantage of
any opportunity to cheat the system and pay less to
employees and whatever they can to increase their bottom line.
And you know, buy a new boat this summer. I
(08:22):
get it. I just I worry that there are those
there are good guys that are gonna go by the
wayside and take it up the nose because the bad
guys are out there, and I just I hate to
see that. I hate to see the good guys lose
even when they're being the good guys. I know, I'm
so blessed idealistic A two onu WTV and is my
(08:44):
number A Debbie R on the Legacy Retirement Group dot
com phone lines.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Hi, Hey Chuck, I hate you guys loose too. I mean,
I'm with you, but uh your caller before the Left
I really got to agree with and the way that
young kids today just don't want to work. And it's
not like these folks coming here and when when you
(09:09):
say illegal, it kind of it's got a fine line.
Because these ICE raids have got me really in an
uproar because it's not like they're.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Going out to neighborhoods where drug dealers are dealing drugs
and all that. They're going into places of these mom
and pop places or even you know, big corporations that
these folks they're here illegally with quotation marks around it,
(09:39):
but they're trying to go about it the right way
and get their papers in order, and you know they've
been here for years, they go to a judge and
then they get arrested by ICE. I got a real
big problem with ICE and the way these raids are
being done because you're won you hit a topic, it's
hurting the small business.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
We disagree on the quotation marks because I you know,
if you come here illegally, you are here illegally, and
it's it's that kind of a cut and dry thing
for me.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
There truck, our ancestors came over here illegally, No don't.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
They didn't debby because there was no law that defined
legality at that time, so they didn't come here illegally.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I disagree on I wholeheartedly.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Man.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
The way they're doing these grids, it's not right.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And I appreciate you calling up to let me know.
You'll you're never going to be told you're wrong. We
can disagree all day long, that's fine, but illegal is
illegal to me, and I just don't want to see
people doing things the right way suffering because of that.
I just found out that one of the series that
I gave up on because you know, during the whole
