More Immigration Orders / Foster Kids in Juvy

The President is trying again on illegal immigration policies as a judge tells Iowa to stop trying to do something about it.  We also talk about the alarming number of foster kids in juvenile detention (and who's fault it is), racism earning jail time in Spain, the Pope using the "f-word," and more.

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Scott vordees a guy named Nicholas Christophe. He is a blue blood liberal,
progressive Democrat, and he's written apiece in The New York Times and he
says this message is for those whocontrol, you know, govern some of

(00:23):
the bluest parts of the country.And he's talking specifically about cities on the
West Coast. He's talking about SanFrancisco, he's talking about Seattle, he's
talking about Portland, he's talking aboutSan Diego, he's talking about Los Angeles.
And he says these cities are amess, plagued by high rates of

(00:47):
crime, rampant homelessness. And hesays he's singling out the West Coast because
he says East Coast cities run byprogressive liberals on the East Coast are doing
better by comparison. He says,the problem isn't with liberalism, it's with
West Coast liberalism. Now, someof the problems not I mean, there's

(01:17):
certainly not just homelessness will automatically leadto crime by itself, but there is
a hand and glove relationship all toooften, and if you have more homelessness,
there's just the potential there. It'sright for being a hotbed for crime,

(01:40):
and why would you have more homelessnesson the West Coast than the East
Coast. Could it be that theweather is so much better if we're talking
about East Coast versus West Coast Democratrun cities, all these cities here San
Diego, San Diego versus Boston.What could be the allure of maybe you
wanting to spend your time in SanDiego or San Francisco, which isn't exactly

(02:07):
warm all year, but you're notgonna get hit by a blizzard like you
would in New York City or Bostonor Washington, d C. It's the
weather, but it's also the tacitapproval of basically not having any responsibility to
try and find a way to makeyourself fit into a responsible society, and

(02:31):
the issues with crime, where hey, unless you go out there and rob
a Secret Service agent at gunpoint,nothing will probably happen to you. And
even if you do that, nothingmight happen to you, where you're just
released back into the wild. Overand Overrea, we don't even prosecute.
Police are too busy to come andtry and figure out what flash mod just

(02:51):
went in there and just ransacked adepartment store. So Nicholas Christoff says,
in his view, the West Coast'scentral problem is not so much that it's
unserious, as that it's infected withan ideological purity that has focused more on

(03:12):
intentions than on oversight and outcomes.What does that mean, he said,
Well, people say things like housingis a human right, but then they
fail at actually getting people into ahouse. I mean you can say these
things, Oh, housing's a humanright, thank you. Where's my house?
Oh well, that's going to bea little harder to come by,

(03:36):
what with the low availability of housing, your complete inability to work a job
or stay clean, and the costof living here on the West Coast.
But housing is a human right,thank you for that. Where's my house
again? Not here? But it'sa right. They just say things.

(04:00):
They sound great at election time,but the actual transition into reality several steps
are missed along the way. Hesays, less purity and more pragmatism would
go a long way, but perhapsthe first step must be the humility to
acknowledge our failures. This is,as I said, blue blood democrat,

(04:23):
liberal, progressive type East Coast liberal. He is calling out the West Coast
liberals for ruining the West Coast highrates of homelessness and crime. The other
day, President Biden was being andit's always cute, like if you see

(04:45):
someone out for a walk with theirdog, You're like, is the is
the person holding the leash leading theway or is the dog on the leash
leading the way? It's kind ofcute to look at that. So was
President Obama leading the way or wasPresident Biden leading the way? When one

(05:05):
kind of grabbed the hand of theother and kind of shuffled aimlessly to the
left. I mean, who wasleading who in that instance. Well,
while President Biden was out there inLos Angeles, one of his Secret Service
agents who was there assisting as thepresident, was at a big fundraising event.

(05:28):
George Clooney was there. George Clooneywas there, Jimmy Kimmel and Julia
Roberts. Joe Piscopo. Now JoePiscopo wouldn't be there. He's a conservative
radio guy. I was just lookingfor an eighties reference. I went with
Joe Piscopo. These are all peoplewho would not be affected by inflation.

(05:53):
Mostly. Well, I don't carehow much money you have when the cost
of your diamond encrusted yacht goes upforty five percent in just a few years.
I mean, you feel it youmight have to sell one of your
private jets. You have to weighit out though, how much is the
inflation going to affect you versus howmany laws and different things that are going

(06:17):
to be enacted that are going tobenefit you. I think it goes back
into what Nicholas Christoff said, andthat is a lot of people just say
things that they feel like, well, if we just say, you know,
we're going to put a man onthe moon, that's good enough.

(06:38):
We have said this is our intention. Actually actually doing it anymore is a
bit of a problem. And I'llbring it back to Omaha with a story
here about what's happening in a veryinteresting subset of juvenile crime here in Omaha
that has people concerned. I'll bringit back here as an another example of

(07:00):
that. Let me tell you whathappened to President Biden's secret Service agent.
This guy, who was in LAfor a fundraising event over the weekend,
was returning from work Saturday night whenin the community of Tusting, about an
hour's drive southeast of Los Angeles,he had his bag stolen at gunpoint.

(07:23):
Guy comes up in a nice car, Silver Infinity, that was fleeing the
scene, probably stolen, I don'tknow, and jumps out, puts a
gun in the face of the SecretService agent and steals his stuff a Secret
Service agent. The agent who wasuninjured ended up firing his gun during the

(07:48):
confrontation, but they don't know ifanyone was actually shot. The guy took
off, fled the scene. They'restill looking for him. Yeah, as
you're in town to talk about howwonderful America is under this certain political ideology

(08:09):
and our governance, and one ofyour bodyguards, your Secret Service agents,
is outside with a gun in hisface. Maybe it's not working out as
well as you thought. And boy, there's so many different directions I want
to take this. I think thatI need to quickly first loop in what

(08:33):
the President wants to do now whenit comes to immigration in this country versus
what they just told Iowa they can'tdo. So we'll hit that, then
we'll come back to this juvenile crimestory here in Omaha. That's all next.
Scott Coyes NewsRadio eleven ten k FAChuck Email Scott at KFAB dot com.

(08:56):
It says, where's the location ofthis president debate viewing party. Thank
you for asking Chuck. Next Thursday, that is June twenty seventh, a
week from this Thursday, aka nextSome people think when you say next Thursday
it means the next Thursday. Itdoesn't. It means Thursday after this ah
English. So next Thursday, thetwenty seventh, our presidential debate viewing party

(09:20):
will be held at Buffalo Wings andRings Buffalo Wings and Rings, one hundred
twenty second in l in the LStreet Marketplace. Biden Trump Part one.
I don't know if there will bea part two based on how this goes.
We'll see. Can't wait next Thursdaynight, Buffalo Wings and Rings,

(09:45):
one hundred and twenty second in lin the L Street Marketplace. Now,
one of the participants in next week'spresidential debate is allegedly taking another big step
to offer relief to potentially a halfmillion currently illegal immigrants here in this country.

(10:05):
And it's acknowledged in this story thatone of the big reasons he's doing
it is he's trying to get reelected. He's trying to rally his base,
and a lot of Democrats across thiscountry are not happy that he said we're
going to cap the number of entriesinto America from our southern border at only

(10:28):
twenty five hundred a day. Andpeople are like, this isn't outrage.
What do you mean? We can'thave that just anyone in the world who
wants to come in here. Now, the President said that the reality is
is that's not happening. So still, the fact that he said it made
a lot of people mad. Sowhat's he doing now? The White House

(10:52):
is expected to announce that in thecoming months, the Biden administration will allow
certain spouses of US citizens to applyfor permanent residency and eventually citizenship. I
don't get it. I thought ifyou married a US citizen that you were
good, like right, or doyou have to do you have to have

(11:15):
Yeah, that's it. You havesome legal status to be in this country.
And then in order to stay here, you either have to have your
green cart extended or seek citizenship ormarry an ugly, fat, rich American
who will have you. That's howmy wife stayed here. So I'm kidding

(11:43):
to qualify an immigrant an immigrant?Oh, you know, these people who
followed the rules, stood in line, got the proper acknowledgment to be in
this country. Or you know,just came across the border and said I'm
here. You know, same thing. To call a legal immigrant must have
lived in the United States for tenyears as of yesterday and be married to

(12:07):
a US citizen. If a qualifyingimmigrants application is approved, he or she?
What? Oh? He or she? That's that's hateful, they right,
eighty seven genders. Why are wejust given too? This is stupid?
They or none or two spirit wouldhave three years to apply for a

(12:28):
green card and receive a temporary workpermit to be shielded from deportation. You
know what else shields them from deportationthe fact that we are not deporting anyone.
That's also a really good way tobe shielded from deportation. So they

(12:50):
think this is maybe not a halfmillion, but you know, tens of
thousands of people might be able toqualify for this, which is also kind
of fun to say, because everytime they offer some path to status in
this country, they always say,and here's it could be three hundred and

(13:13):
twenty five thousand people for whom thiswould apply, and then like three or
four people come forward and go,I'll do it. The rest of them
think it's a trap. They don'twant anything to do with it. And
they're living here quite well, notworried about deportation, not worried about status.
They have a job, the kidsare in school, they go to

(13:35):
the hospital, and you know there'swhat's the you know, if they do
things the right way, they mighthave to pay a fine, they might
have to sit in classes or something, you know, try and apply there,
to fill out paperwork, they mighthave to work. Why do that?
So they'll just keep doing what they'redoing. But at least it's something

(13:56):
the Biden administration is saying, andhe's the President's going to speak about his
plans this afternoon at an event atthe White House which will mark the twelfth
anniversary of DHAKA. The Deferred Actionfor Childhood Arrivals program, the Obama air
era directive that offered some sort ofprotection and status for those kids who were

(14:20):
brought into this country illegally as childrenand they've been raised here all the rest
of this stuff. So Biden's like, hey, if these kids got married
to a US citizen, then theyshould be able to stay here. And
they're like, I thought I wasstaying here. See here, stop by
my house is my house. Iwas staying here. But now I got
to pay something. I'll think aboutit. I thought about it. The

(14:45):
answer is no. Meanwhile, afederal judge yesterday blocked an Iowa law that
would have allowed law enforcement in thestate of Iowa to file criminal charges not
against people who are in this countryillegally. Like all Iowan's there are a
bunch of racists. They don't wantMexicans or there has nothing to do with

(15:05):
that. These are people who arein this country illegally and have outstanding deportation
orders, or who had previously beendenied entry into the US, got into
the US anyway and decided to goto adventureland here or wherever. And so
they are found in Iowa by PottawatameCounty sheriffs or what have you, and

(15:30):
someone says, hey, it sayshere that you have an outstanding deportation order.
Well, since you are in thiscountry illegally and you have basically what
amounts to an outstanding warrant, theywere also going to file criminal charges against
you in Iowa. Now, thereason Iowa did this is because the federal

(15:52):
government wouldn't do anything about any ofit. So they're just looking to do
something. This US district judge issuedan injunction against it because he said,
Iowa can't do this. Immigration isa federal policy and the state of Iowa
has nothing to do with it.And Iowa's like, yeah, we know,
we did this to try and forceyou guys at the federal level to

(16:14):
do something anything. Please. Abbotdid yeah, I know. Well,
and this Texas. That's Governor GregAbbott of Texas, or maybe you're talking
about Bud Abbot. Abbott and Costellodid this in Texas. Abbot's the governor
is Lieutenant Governor Lou Costello did thisin Texas, and this was also shot

(16:37):
down in the same way by adifferent district judge. Iowa's law was patterned
after the Texas law, and bothof them have been put on hold.
Right now as both these states aresaying, we know that you told us
we can't do anything, but wekind of thought maybe you'd do something and
you're not, so we're gonna dosomething. We're gonna keep trying. Now,

(16:59):
how in the world can you saythat it's good for the State of
Iowa if we have people who aremarked for deportation or have been previously denied
entry into this country. Hanging outin Davenport. You know, hey,
I've always wanted to see the bridgesof Madison County like the real thing.

(17:21):
I already saw the movie fifty times. I love that movie, so I
wanted to see him in person.But I couldn't come into this country because
I deal drugs, I engage inchild trafficking, and I have a bad
habit of eating people. So theytold me I couldn't come in here.
But I got in anyway because theysaid, are you the guy who eat
people? And I said no,and they said, all right, come

(17:45):
on in, and so I gothere into Madison County, and turns out
a lot of the covered bridges areactually in a different part. The movie
kind of had a different name toit, but still beautiful part of the
country. And have you been uparound the Quad Cities. It's an unhair
o place that a lot of peopledon't know about. It's great. I
got a chance to see a greatpart of America, and I hate some

(18:06):
people. And then the police camealong and said you are that guy.
And thankfully this judge said, thepolice can't touch me. I've been marked
for deportation. And once they catchme again, maybe they'll deport me.
That's fine. I'll just snack onthe plane. You know who's gonna snack
on the person sitting in twelve Band it'll be me. I'll be I'll

(18:32):
be the middle seat again. Andthis guy is like, can I get
the window seat and chew on yourarm? Like ah every time? Every
time. So yeah, someone decided, Oh, Iowa, calm down the
fact that you might have people inyour state who have no business even being

(18:52):
in this country. Why don't youquit being so racist about it again.
The hour started off here with theassessment in The New York Times of a
liberal columnist named Nicholas Christoff, whosaid that West Coast liberalism is ruining the
West Coast with their pacification when itcomes to crime, homelessness, border policies,

(19:18):
drug use, and the rest.But by all means, let's do
this anywhere in the country, includingIowa. Now Here in Omaha a disturbing
rise not just in juvenile crime,but an interesting subset of juvenile crime.
I'll give you the details on thisstory after a Fox News update. Next,

(19:38):
Scott, I'm shook on the DUIarrest for Justin Timberlake. What j
T I don't understand why anyone wouldever need to drive drug exactly. I've
had that thought for a while.I just don't get it. An uber

(20:02):
ride is just a couple of minutesaway, not very much money, certainly
not the same amount of money thatyou would pay to deal with a DWY
arrest. Do you go DWI orDUY? When we were growing up,
it was DWI, which was easierto get because we didn't have ride sharing

(20:25):
services other than the Yellow cab,and no one really seemed to care that
much. Well, I think there'san aspect of that, absolutely, But
I thought you meant that it waseasier to get because it was a WN
not a U. But it wasDUI when we were kids. Really it
was DWI. I grew up withdwys. Well, now you got me
thinking, Now I don't know itwas d W They changed it to also

(20:49):
include are you intoxicated by drug useor are you under the influence DWI driving
wild and intoxicated d u I drivingunder the influence? I see, so,
yeah, it probably was d WIthen d WE. How cute you

(21:11):
named it. Well, that's beenaround for a long time. But j
T was arrested on l I LongIsland and he's he's touring right now with
n Sync, which is weird becausehe was in the Backstreet Boys, right
I know he was in Sync.Calmed down now here. We have a

(21:36):
logo. By the way, Ilike justin Timberlake. I like his music,
and I seem to like, youknow what he you know who he
is. He seems to be afun guy. His Saturday night live bits
are epic and he's a golfer,So my kind of guy. You know.
He's the kind of guy who ifhe called me, even in the
middle of the night and says,Scott, it's Josh, I was like,

(22:02):
say no more, dude, Iam on my way. I'd come
and pick him up. I'd givehim a ride. That's all he has
to do is ask. All hehas to do is ask. Now Here
in Nebraska, and especially in DouglasCounty, we've covered over the years in
this program the disturbing rise and juvenilecrime, especially the very violent juvenile crime.

(22:29):
One of these kids we talked aboutyesterday who decided that they should leave
the Lincoln Juvenile detention facility. Theyreleased themselves in their own recognizance as they
felt the system had nothing left tooffer them, which, by the way,
is your eighties movie reference for thissegment of the radio program, Lucy's
Gonna Take a half rear ended stabat It night at the Roxbury. Yeah,

(22:52):
real close. Raising Arizona also agood movie. We felt the system
had nothing else to do offer us. You've never seen Raising Arizona of Nicholas
Cage. I'll be taking these Huggiesand whatever cash you got. These kids
who left the Lincoln Juvenile Detention Centerand stole a car and their way out

(23:18):
of there, just as their wayof saying, we don't belong here,
and now we're going to commit grandtheft auto just to proof. One of
these kids was the he's now fifteen, but just almost two years ago and
he was only thirteen. Little Tykedidn't know what he was doing. He
was murdering someone, and he's ina facility where he couldpparently just walk out.

(23:41):
I tell you that's great. Andso now they're in the Omaha Detention
Center, which is about you know, we don't want to lock these kids
up, these little scamps. Sowe've been covering things like this. Well,
now there's a story here from WAWTsix News that is a trend that

(24:02):
concerns Douglas County Advocates and the NebraskaFoster Care Review Office, and that is
the number of youths in detention centersor juvenile justice facilities who are also foster
care kids. Kids in the fostercare system. Last September there were ninety

(24:26):
three of them at spiked to onehundred and eighteen in December and went down
to one hundred and three in March. I don't know what we're at now.
These are the most recent numbers wehave, but apparently there are kids

(24:47):
who are in the foster care systemand someone takes them in, maybe tries
to institute some rules. The kidssays rules and either breaks those rules,
commits crime, or won't live bythe rules, and so the foster parent

(25:10):
says, all right, maybe thisisn't the home for you, and they
end up going back into the systemand oftentimes end up in the streets committing
crimes. And apparently this is thefault of the well generational trauma. If
you're a little tich and you're outthere committing crimes, it's because the home

(25:34):
that you were raised in didn't providea loving and nurturing place for you,
which I agree with, But they'retalking about in the story here generational trauma.
If your great great grandpappy had nothingand chose a life of crime,
somehow that's trickled down into your familyto the point where now you've been put

(25:59):
into assist to look out for you, and you've even been placed in a
home of someone who has volunteered tolook out for you. What do you
need? How can I help you? You've been given this tremendous opportunity and
you're not taking advantage of it,and apparently that's your grandma's fault. I

(26:22):
see where you're going with this,and you the scenario that you laid out
on why foster kids are getting intotrouble and getting into the juvenile detention and
is fair, and I can seethat that could be a cause. But
you also have on the other endof the spectrum, you might have kids
out there just committing crimes so theycan go to juvenile because the homes are

(26:42):
so bad. Maybe you have someactually some good kids that want to do
something with their lives, but they'replaced into homes that are abusive or wait,
foster care homes. Don't start saying, you know, throwing this blanket
over all. Foster don't throw ablanket over for all. Foster care is
the most wonderful, cherished love youhome, because there's a lot of those.

(27:06):
I don't have a lot of blanketshere, okay, But I will
say, if you're the kind ofperson who says I want to take in
a foster care youth, you're eitherdoing it because you have a heart for
it and you're a great person,or you're like, Hey, I see
dollar signs here, and for everyfoster care kid I bring in here,

(27:29):
I get a little extra money.And I don't really care about these little
jerks. But you know they canstay in my home, and I can
miss Hannigan them, you know.To give you another eighties movie reference,
that's an easy one. Really,Miss Hannigan. Yeah, Miss Hannigan,
Fast Times Annie an all that Annie? Why would I see that? Because

(27:55):
it's one of the greatest movies ofall time? Up for debate, Haerrol
Burnette, I like her, TimCurry like him, guy named poonjabb Fine,
I'll watch it. No you won't, probably not. I tell you
what. Annie sitting up there inthe window singing about her parents. The

(28:17):
maybe they're Dunn. H I don'tknow the words right off the top of
my head, you know, singingthat song that gets me every time,
gets me right in the fields.We stopped and talked to the uncle.
What's the uncle's name, the richuncle. There's no rich uncle, okay,
bald. Yeah, she's taken inby Daddy Warbucks. Daddy Warbucks,
the guy, the actor who playedDaddy Warbucks, Albert Finney. Yeah,

(28:40):
we stopped and talked to him downhere at the Magnolia. Oh dad,
that's been like ten years ago.Really, yep, I didn't get a
chance to talk to Albert Finny.Well, so let's also agree that not
every kid in the foster care systemis Annie and her little dog Sandy.
Absolutely I can agree with that.So here's what the story seems to be

(29:06):
specifically saying, though, is thatthese kids are put into a foster home
situation and they're not abiding by rules, and they're breaking rules. The person's
coming back going all right, we'vetried everything. All we've done is try
and love this person where they are, give them what they need, but

(29:27):
also set some boundaries, and theywon't do it. And so sorry,
I guess this isn't the home forthem, and then that kid goes out
and breaks the law and somehow it'sgrandma's fault or generational trauma. Now,
what we've always heard here is thatthese kids, they need someone to intervene
in their lives. They need someoneto be there to help them, They

(29:49):
need someone to come in and givethem that nurturing and give them that emotional
and moral rudder that they previously lacked. And so we do that, and
that it still doesn't work, andthen it goes back to being something that's
called generational trauma. Well, ifyou're saying, and that's what the story
is saying here, that if it'sgenerational trauma, then what's anyone supposed to

(30:10):
do? Well, it sounds tome like this whoever wrote the story is
trying to drag in religion, becauseif they are going to accept generational trauma,
then that is something that could alsobe referred to as sins of the
father fathers. So if you're goingto go down that road, then you're
going to put on upon these kidssins of the fathers, generational trauma,

(30:33):
la la la, whatever you wantto call it. And you can change
from that, you absolutely can.Of course, you can but there is
some there's some validity to the wayyour brain is wired, even from generations
you've never met. There's some validityto that. Then if the idea is
is we need to have them ina different environment, but that still doesn't

(30:57):
work, and well what are yougoing to do? It's general rational trauma.
Then why are we wasting all thistime to provide foster homes and so
forth? Now, no one wrotethis story in this way. This is
they interviewed the executive director of KASAfor Douglas County. This is the coret
appointed Special Advocates group here in DouglasCounty that works with these kids. And

(31:19):
that is the assessment of that executivedirector, Kimberly C. Barnes. So
I don't want to say it waswritten in such a way. That's her
assessment, and she works with thesekids all the time. And these people
who volunteer for KASA of Douglas Countyare fantastic people, the overwhelming majority of
them. They need more. They'vegot three hundred and five kids in Douglas

(31:40):
County that need to be served hereby these court appointed individuals advocates, and
there's one hundred and forty kids ina wait list because they don't have enough
volunteers. That's terrible, I know. So if you're hearing this going I'll
help by all means. Reach outto KASA for Douglas County CASA. They'd

(32:01):
love to have you assist. Butnobody changes without hope. You just don't.
Nobody can change the way they arewithout hope for the future of that
change. But if we have someonewho's provided the ability for hope and then
they maybe it doesn't stick or whatever, and then they end up, you

(32:23):
know, back in the juvenile detentioncenter or what have you, and it's
like, well, it's generational trauma. I think that's a bad thing to
blame this on. How about thistry something that's never been done with a
lot of these kids. Blame iton them. You're here because of your
actions. You did this, andthis happened, and now you're back here.

(32:44):
This is your fault. Now here, someone else has been on the
same path, and he or she'sgoing to talk to you about what happened
in their lives that turn their livesaround. And we're here to prepare you
for being there. And we'll tryas many times as it takes because we
feel you're worth it. But ifyou end up back here, make no
misunderstanding, it's because of your actions. And the sooner you start blaming yourself

(33:07):
for your actions here, you can'tblame it on well, the schools or
my grandpa or my dad wasn't around, or you know, because of where
I grow up, or poverty,or you know, the president or Trump
or whatever. You know. Hey, you're pointing a lot of fingers in
other directions and where they should be, and that's back at you. You

(33:27):
should sign up for CASA. Icould barely take care of my own two
kids. Scott Vordiez. I wasdown at Civic Auditorium when the manager Slick
got hit in the face with afull beer that a fan whipped at him.
Not enough to quote Paul Fiction.I don't mean, you know,

(33:50):
no paper cup, I mean afull glass of beer, your nineties movie
reference for this segment of the radioprogram. But I forget whose Slick was
energy in the time it might havebeen. Who would that have been,
Nikolai Volkoff and Big John Stutters.I don't know. So these guys,

(34:12):
these manager comes out member of thecrowd, like just whips a glass of
beer hits him in the face.He had to actually go back into the
tunnel to be treated for that.And and I don't know that anyone did
anything about it. Now, yougo down and stick your face, you
stick your stupid face into the Floridadugout at the College World Series. Start

(34:36):
leveling all kinds of crazy accusations.You can get a lifetime ban from the
College World Series as these two.And I'm sure Texas A and M if
you're familiar with the story of whathappened over the weekend. If you're not,
I'll bring you up to speed.Saturday night, Texas A and M
is playing Florida. A couple ofguys wearing Texas A and M fans,

(34:58):
and I know that that program doesnot count these guys as fans. A
couple of these guys go over there, they're leaning over in the Florida dugout,
and they're trying to accuse the coachof the Florida Gators of being involved
in a murder suicide somehow. Sothis is something that happened three years ago.

(35:21):
The police fully investigated, this guyhad absolutely nothing to do with it.
But these guys decided, Eh,what a great time let's go down
here and accuse this coach of stuff. It was the basis of today's Rosie
to Genozi, which we'll be postedon the Jim ros podcast link at kfab
dot com in just a few minutes. Here. I'll get it up there

(35:42):
for you if you want to knowmore about the situation. But these guys
get escorted out by security and nowthey're trying to figure out how can we
issue a lifetime ban to these guysso they never come back to the College
World Series, which, admittedly,if they're going to admit it, is

(36:04):
going to be almost impossible to pulloff. These guys show up, whether
it's the game today or whether it'snext year they show up again, Who
in the world's going to recognize themdo anything about it? But whatever,
Listen to what happened to these fansof Valencia Spanish soccer team. These three

(36:28):
fans of Valencia were accused of raciallyinsulting a soccer player on Real Madrid.
And this all happened in Spain.Well, there's a fairly recent law in
Spain that says you can be convictedfor racism. These fans were detained after

(36:55):
a Spanish League match between Real Madridand Valencia in May of twenty twenty three.
The match was briefly stopped after thisplayer for Real Madrid was insulted.
The player, who is black,was having calls that were aimed at him,
with people making monkey sound, makingmonkey sounds of this guy. The

(37:20):
fans were making gestures and sounds whotowards this player. The player called for
the attention of the referee, pointedto the fans of the stadium and they
stopped the play. People start booing, you know, because now we've stopped
the game, and then the securitycomes in there and they grab these guys
who were then detained and charged withracism, but basically racism. I don't

(37:50):
know if there's any more specific crimethan that. Let's see a crime.
The sentence found the defendants guilty ofa crime against moral integrity with the aggravating
circumstance of discrimination based on racist motives. Now I'm not standing up for these
guys. These guys are idiots andthey should have been dealt with by other

(38:13):
fans. But they're detained. Theywere charged and now convicted and handed eight
month prison sentences after pleading guilty toracism in Spain, three guys eight months

(38:37):
in prison for racially taunting a player, which again, I mean part of
me is definitely like, my heart'snot broken for these guys, not at
all. On the other hand,for racism, I mean, there's a

(39:02):
difference between threats that also include aracial component and these guys making monkey sounds.
Eight months in prison. That happenedin Spain. How long before it
happens here. I wonder if whenhe goes, if he goes to Spain,

(39:29):
if another individual might be found to, depending on his phrasing at the
time, might be found guilty ofNow, it's not racism, but you
could probably make a similar case forthis. Have you been following the accusations
against Pope Francis over the last twothree weeks or so. It started off

(39:52):
with someone came out of a meeting, you know, and the Pope's not
just meeting with just regular schlubs.I mean, I presume this is pretty
important. People are in the meeting. But someone came out of a meeting
with the Pope and said that thePope was concerned about gay men getting in

(40:13):
the priesthood. And he used aphrase, a Spanish phrase which is a
sounds like a common gay slur herein America. It's a similar word the
F word, except as it relatesto being a gay slur. So someone

(40:37):
came out and said, yeah,the Pope used that word talking about his
concerns that there might be some gaymen settling in for a career in the
priesthood. And he apparently was concernedand used that word. So then he
came out and I'm trying to rememberwhat he said. He said something that

(40:57):
wasn't exactly gray about women, aboutbeing too emotional or something. And then
the other day he was accused ofusing that gay slurred again in another meeting
with priests, and the Vatican hasissued an apology. There have been some

(41:21):
people that said, well, Idon't know if Pope Francis, you know,
he's an older guy. I don'tknow if he knows that that's a
word that he's not supposed to say. Well, they just had a big
pride celebration in Rome and they didit with the Pope's image on T shirts,

(41:42):
hats, cardboard cutouts. They usedthat word a bunch and they said,
we just want the Pope to feelhow beautiful being gay is. And
they said they use that word asa badge of honor. They say,
if I take ownership of the word, I can use it as a marker

(42:06):
of my identity. One participant said, adding it makes you immune from any
insult, which makes me wonder ifthis word is more commonly used by people
who self identify and using a hatefulword, and they use it to call

(42:27):
themselves or others in that group.But if someone else uses it, then
it's not allowed. If only therewere another word I could think of that
might have that, I can't thinkof one, can't don't email, can't
think of one. So I justthink it's funny that you know the pope
who's however old he is. Iforget how old the Pope is, but

(42:49):
he's certainly of an age where somepeople might say, well, you know,
he's older, and he might usea word that was more common years
ago, and he might not knowit's offensive to use that word. But
how close are we to If Spaincan lock up soccer fans for a racial
taunt, I wonder if they coulddecide to lock up the pope for a

(43:15):
gay slur. Here in America,the US Surgeon General wants to put warning
labels on not cigarettes we already havethose, and I presume the vape same
thing. Not foods that are highin fat content or caloric content or salt

(43:38):
or whatever. No, this isa warning label on social media platforms.
This is Doctor Vivek Murphy said socialmedia should have a warning label similar to
those that are found on packs ofcigarettes. Would that be the skull and

(43:58):
crossbones? Would that be a pictureof a diseased lung? Is that social
media is a contributing factor to themental health crisis among young people, saying
quote it's time to require a SurgeonGeneral's warning label on social media platforms,
saying that social media is associated withsignificant mental health harms for adolescents. A

(44:22):
Surgeon General's warning label, which requirescongressional action, would regularly remind parents and
adolescents that social media has not beenproved safe. Evidence from tobacco studies show
that warning labels can increase awareness andchange behavior. Was it the warning labels
or was it the fact that thepacks of smokes skyrocketed in costs? Social

(44:47):
media platforms are largely free, andI don't need I mean, I'm a
parent of two teenagers. I knowthat social media is not great, and
I didn't I need the Surgeon Generalto instruct my wife and I as parents
as to how to deal with this, how do we deal with it well?

(45:07):
In addition to trying to regularly engagethese tots, these these youth in
my home in things, crazy oldthings like all sitting down for a family
dinner. Last night, we allwent out and watched The Inside Out Too.
I didn't fall apart like I thoughtI would. It actually got me

(45:28):
a little bit more at the beginningof the movie. At the end,
I cry at everything, and Ithought I'd be a blubbering mess. It
didn't. It didn't strike that courtin me for whatever reason. One because
I thought that perhaps the girl inthis movie was closer to my daughter's age,
but she's a few years younger andstill great movie. Loved it.

(45:51):
I loved Inside Out the first one, one of my favorites. Inside Out
Too is really good. Glad Isaw it. But I managed to get
through it without being a blubbering mess. They'd have to bring a wheelchair in
to get me out of there becauseI was crying so hard my legs wouldn't
work. That happens sometimes, really, any movie will do it. Jaws.

(46:14):
I mean, you never know,you never know. Oh, here's
one other thing we do with ourkids. My wife has the ability with
her phone to turn off their socialmedia, so they can't be up all
night on social media. You know. They know here's sometimes to be on
the phone communicating with their friends andso forth. But after this time of

(46:36):
night social media gets turned off.Wow, how do we do that?
The Surgeon General hadn't put a warninglabel on it or anything. We just
decided as parents that the more ourkids spend isolated on a phone, it
seems to change their behavior, notalways in a good way, and we
should put some limits on this kindof thing. Shocking parents doing guarantying an

(47:00):
absence of a Surgeon General warning.And then there's this Republican lawmakers are mad
they're not able to puff on cigarsinside the US Capitol anymore. Here's what
happened. Congressman Tom Cole, whoas Chair of the Rules Committee, had

(47:23):
a special office that he transformed intoa makeshift cigar bar. Well, he
gave up that role in April ashe became chair now of the House Appropriations
Committee. That means the office goesto the new chair of the Rules committee,
who is doctor Michael Burgess. DoctorBurgess does not want cigar parties in

(47:45):
his office, so he shut downthe cigar bar. Smoking is banned in
the US Capitol, but last yearthey called it a private office that's exempt
from this rule, like a cigarbar, and they mostly did it to
upset at Nancy Pelosi during those years. But as of right now, their
smoking space is gone. And JerrySeinfeld last night had a pro Palestine heckler

(48:09):
stand up and yell from the Riverto the Sea and all that, and
Seinfeld stopped the show and said,we have a genius. Ladies and gentlemen,
He's solved the Middle East. Hefigured it out. It's the Jewish
comedians that's who we have to get. As they were taking him out of
the office, he said, nowthey're going to start punching you in three
seconds. So I try to getall your genius out here so we can

(48:31):
all learn from you. You MoronSeinfeld last night at a show in Sydney,
Australia. We got a show herenext Clay Travis and Buck Sexton in
