Election Interference, 2024 Style

Today's mostly political talk also includes a popular new Halloween costume and what happens in election season if I die.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vorgiez difference between election Day twenty twenty four, I
should say election season twenty twenty four and what happened
in twenty twenty. This is not to try and figure
out what happened in twenty twenty, but there is a
big difference between then and now when it comes to

(00:23):
election day. Other than the impact that COVID has had
on our lives, the accusations of rigged elect rig elections
and everything else here that happen in twenty twenty has
spawned a very big change. And that is a number
of people who took up that mantle and either went
full blown Trump was had the election stolen from him,

(00:45):
it was all rigged, or they at least had legitimate
questions about all of that. Well, some of these people
did something a little bit more than just complain about
it on truth social or on talk radio programs, or
to their neighbor while their neighbor was trying to trim
the hedges. And then you got your other guys sitting

(01:06):
over there. I'll tell you another thing. Ballot boxes in Pennsylvania,
you know, And you're like, I dude, it's twenty twenty three.
I don't care you know. So they did a little
bit more than that. They went on and became appointed
or elected in positions like local election commissioners and secretaries
of states. And now we're seeing a couple of new

(01:29):
things pop up as people are looking now in the
early days of early voting in twenty twenty four, and
that's why you're seeing some states like North Carolina and
a little closer to home, Iowa, start to report things
like this. Now, the Associated Press and a lot of

(01:49):
these media outlets quickly say, well, it's really not a
big deal. I mean, there's so many people who vote.
The fact that the Iowa secretary of State's office says
we found evidence of eighty seven individuals who are not
citizens in this country who have voted in Iowa's elections.

(02:10):
Eighty seven. That's nothing. They said, well, we also have
sixty seven people who are not citizens in this country
who have registered to vote in Iowa. They have yet
to cast a ballot. And people are like, hey, eighty
seven sixty seven, that's one hundred and soent I don't know,

(02:31):
it's still not a very big number. And then they said,
we also, and this is weird, the Iowa Secretary of
State's office. This story from the Iowa Capital Dispatch, Iowa
Secretary of State's office says it found eighty seven non
citizens who voted in the state's election, sixty seven non

(02:55):
citizens who registered to vote but have yet to cast
to ballot, and also another two thousand and twenty two
people who self reported that they're not US citizens but
went on to vote or register to vote in Iowa.

(03:18):
I don't know why that number is buried in a
lot of the stories about this. It's like they went
looking for it. And also there were individuals who just
flat out ass people, are you a registered voter, are
you a citizen? Are you planning on voting? Did you
vote in the last one? And they were able to
find eighty seven people who voted illegally. Now that is

(03:43):
a Class D felony in Iowa. Registering to vote as
a felony charge Class D felony. You don't even have
to vote, Just registering to vote as a non citizen
as a felony. First degree election misconduct charges are punishable
by up to five years in prison and finds between
seven hundred and fifty and seven five hundred dollars. It's

(04:06):
treated as a big deal now is anyone going to
get five years in prison and seventy five one hundred
dollars in fine? Not under this administration. I'll tell you
why I say that in a second. But you had
two thousand plus people brazenly say, yeah, I'm I'm not
a citizen in this country, but I want ahead and
registered to vote, and some of them said and I voted.

(04:32):
Now a couple questions here, why are we hearing this? Well,
because of what happened in twenty twenty, Secretary's of state
election commissioners are trying to look at this in a
very different way and trying to figure out whether or
not all these accusations going back years, even before the
twenty twenty election, have any legitimacy attached to them. But

(04:54):
the other thing here is, okay, so now we've actually
found some of these people, what do we do about it?
You know, in some of these local races, there was
a representative elected in Iowa who won in twenty twenty two,
believe by six votes. So some of these are very

(05:18):
very thin, some of these legislative races very very thin.
Two thousand plus people voting who shouldn't be voting can
absolutely sway these elections. So it's number one, how are
we finding this stuff out? Why are we looking into it?
And then what do we do about it? Well, that's
kind of the not funny funny part because the Secretary

(05:43):
of State, his name is Paul Pate in Iowa. He said,
what they're supposed to do is they turn over all
of this information to the federal government. The US Department
of Justice is supposed to look into all of this,
as voting in a federal election is a federal crime.

(06:07):
They're supposed to hand this over to the federal government.
Do you want to guess what the rest of the
story sounds like. It sounds like the federal government. According
to Secretary of State Pate in Iowa, his office is
run into, as he puts it, quote roadblocks unquote, with
the federal government. Now, other states have started removing non

(06:31):
citizens from voter rolls, and the US Department of Justice,
that is the Biden Harris administration, filed a lawsuit in
one instance this month against Virginia because Virginia started removing
non citizen voters from their voter rolls, and they said

(06:52):
it's too close to the election and so therefore we're
not going to look at it here like, well, people
just started voting. We can't go back last February and
see whether anyone voted illegally in this election. For a
couple of reasons. Number One, millions of people come into
this country illegally this year. They have registered to vote.

(07:15):
Some of them have already started voting. This is something
that needs to be taken care of now, And the
Department of Justice said, now, we'll look at it later.
It's too close to the election. Anything that we look at,
our efforts won't even start until after the twenty twenty
four general election. That's a roadblock. Now, how are places

(07:40):
like Virginia or Iowa or North Carolina, how are they
even managing to find out what that kind of interference
from the federal government as to who's in this country illegally,
whether or not they're registering to vote, whether they're voting.
How are they even able to find this stuff out?
Secretary of State Pate in Iowa didn't end around here,

(08:00):
and it's something that's also happening in Nebraska. I'll explain next.
Scott Goryes News Radio eleven ten kfab I recognize how
thick some of this can be I'm doing my best
to make it as clear and entertaining as possible. Let's check, Lucy,
how am I doing. Lucy's in a coma.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
I'm sorry? What?

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah? I know? All right? So here's where Here's where
we are right here. So allegations of election fraud in
twenty twenty, a lot of people went on beyond just
complaining about it on truth social and they ran for
and got elected or appointed two positions like secretary of State,
like election commissioner. And they're looking at some of this

(08:41):
stuff now that early voting is underway. They're finding evidence
of exactly what was claimed four years ago and in
several elections before that, that people who are not supposed
to be in this country legally, who are not supposed
to be registered to vote that's a felony, and are
certainly then not supposed to actually vote, are voting. And

(09:06):
now the question is what's to be done about it.
Virginia turned this over to the Department of Justice and
says we're going to exponge our voter rolls of illegal voters,
like exponge, how dare you? You can't do that? And
the federal government, that is the Biden Harris administration, Department

(09:27):
of Justice told Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, Republican of Virginia,
you can't do that. You can't remove non citizens from
voter rolls. And they said, because it's too close to
the election. Well, who gives a rip if it's too
close to the election. Now, the other question is, if

(09:54):
they're getting this kind of interference from the federal government,
how do they even find out about this in the
first place. Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate went a
different way. He didn't end around all of this. He
started looking at numbers through the Department of Transportation. What
does that have to do with anything? What in the

(10:15):
world does that have to do with Nebraska. A couple
of years back, Governor Ricketts and others led this charge,
and it was kind of a you know, like, we
don't like it any more than anyone else that you
got people in this country illegally or with some sort
of temporary status while the Biden Harris administration tries to
figure out what we're going to do with all these

(10:37):
asylum seekers, and they put them in places like Nebraska
or Springfield, Ohio, or New York or wherever. While they're here,
some of the are going to be driving anyway, we
might as well teach them how to drive and issue
them drivers' licenses. When you go to get your driver's license,

(10:58):
do you want to register to vote? Okay, there are
a lot of people pushing making sure those who are
in this country illegally for purposes of they're going to
be driving any Why are we allowing any of this
to happen? And say, well, they're going to be driving anyway,
we might as well teach them how to drive a

(11:19):
little better. And I see people who may not be
in this country illegally driving very poorly. Every once in
a while, I look up from texting and I see
this happening. So the big push is they're gonna be
driving on the same streets as you and your family.
Don't you want them to be driving safely? Don't you
want them to have a driver's license. Don't you want

(11:40):
them to go into the local DMV and be asked
whether they want to register to vote and then actually
say sure, I do, and then register to vote, and
then don't you want them to vote? And then when
you find out that they're already voting in early voting
processes and states across this country and you go to
the Department of Justice and go, all right, we have
felons here, here are their names, and the Department of
Justice says, we'll take a look at it later. That's

(12:03):
what's happening. In what other way is the federal government
is ignoring laws. I told you this last week. This
is right here in Douglas County, and I said this.
I read this letter on the radio. I don't think
anyone cared. So I'm going to add some movie magic
this time. And this time I'm going to read this

(12:26):
letter with the theme music to the movie Halloween underneath.
Because the person who signed this letter here in Douglas
County is the Douglas County Director of Corrections, Mike Myers.
He goes by Michael. Michael Myers wrote this letter to

(12:52):
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement in September of twenty twenty one.
Mike Myers said, this letter serves as written notice of
Douglas County's intent to terminate our agreement with Immigration Customs Enforcement.
I we have determined that continuing this agreement is no

(13:15):
longer in the best interest of the Department of Corrections
or Douglas County. We will honor all terms of the
agreement for the period of one hundred and twenty days
from today's date per Article nine of our agreement, that's
September twenty second, twenty twenty one. Please feel free to
contact me with any questions or concerns you have regarding
this matter. Respectfully. Michael Myers, Director of Corrections, Douglas County, Nebraska.

(13:46):
So a lot spookier when I have the music, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
I'm scared?

Speaker 1 (13:50):
See? So that happened in twenty twenty one, and as
I reported last week, when I did the a lot
of counties and cities across America in twenty twenty one
told ICE, we're not going to detain people who are
in this country illegally picked up by local law enforcement.
And then they contact ICE and say, we think we

(14:11):
got one of your guys, and I says, great, Yes,
definitely someone we're looking for. They're very dangerous, they're on
this watch list, or they committed these crimes, please detain them.
It used to be that the county jails or correctional
facilities would say, okay, but you're paying for it, And
I said, great, we're the federal government. We have an

(14:31):
unlimited source of money. We'll pay you good money. And
local places like Douglas County like to catch illegal immigrants.
ICE would pay them a lot of money to detain
them until ICE could get around to it. How long
until ICE gets around to it? Long time? And then
they find them. You know, now they got to go
through a deportation hearing all that, we hold them the

(14:52):
whole time, we get paid a lot of money. It
works out great for taxpayers, and it works out great
for those who appreciate safety and rule of life law.
And then in twenty twenty one, all these different counties
and cities said we're not going to do this anymore. Now,
what happened that was putting pressure on these places in
twenty twenty one, The election of twenty twenty the twenty

(15:14):
January twentieth, twenty twenty one inauguration of President Biden and
Vice President Kamala Harris that resulted in the pressure put
on these communities. Tell ICE, you're not going to detain
people anymore. That makes the numbers go down. Look how
fewer people we're detaining illegally in this country compare in
twenty twenty two compared to twenty nineteen Wow, it's a

(15:37):
lot less. I guess border crossings are down. No, they're
way up. We're just not detaining them anymore. They fudge
the numbers. That's pressure put on that Biden Harris administration
on communities like Douglas County, Nebraska that end up making
Douglas County, Nebraska on this list of sanctuary counties for

(15:58):
things like this. This was orchestrated across the country and
now still under the same administration. You've got people like
the Iowa Secretary of State or the governor of Virginia
telling the Department of Justice, here are all the illegal
immigrants in the country who are registered to vote in
already voting illegally. Do something, and the dogs doj said, yeah, maybe,

(16:22):
but too close to the election. Now you can't do
anything about it, and neither can we hope everyone goes
to vote. Scott Boorhees where you know it? News Radio
eleven ten kfab Lucy Chapman's there, I'm Scott Borhees. Lucy
has glasses on. Are you dressing up as a librarian
for Halloween? Is that what's going on over there?

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Sexy librarian? Get it right?

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Well, yeah, it's like a regular librarian, except you're wearing
the costume. I understand. You know, one of the top
selling Halloween costumes now this.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Week McDonald the uniform.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
McDonald's uniform.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Ye. People are going as Trump working at McDonald's and
those with Trump Derangement syndrome TDS are going as Trump
working at McDonald's serving e COLI.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Is that true?

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Probably? All right? I just went through how we have
this process now where various secretaries of state, governor's election
officials across the country are finding it evidence of illegal
voting by non citizens. They're telling the Department of Justice
do something about it. The DOJ says, nas do close
to the election. Maybe we'll look at it later. Meanwhile,

(17:34):
this is actively happening. And the reason why, in one example,
the governor or the rather the Secretary of State Iowa
has determined this is happening is through the Department of Transportation,
he can look through those numbers dugent cross checks and
he's finding thousands of examples of people who have registered
to vote while non citizens in this country when they

(17:56):
go get that driver's license, because we have to let
people get drivers letsonson's. After all, they're going to be
driving and we want them to be driving safely, don't we.
They're on the same roads as your family, and it's
a joke. And I get this email from Steve that says,
thank you for pointing out the fraud behind allowing illegal
immigrants to get a driver's license and subsequently registering to vote.

(18:18):
California is one of the worst states, allowing this fraud
to go on for years. My daughter went to college there.
She was involved in two serious car accidents caused by drunk,
uninsured illegal immigrants. That's from Steve said to Scott at
kfab dot com. But here's the email that said, for
the love of God, Scott, please do not mention my

(18:40):
name on this one. And then Troy hackinwax Oh, shoot,
I did it. I'm kidding. That's a fake name. I
think unless that's your.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Name, that can possibly be a fake name.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah, I don't know that's a good name. But this emailer,
the shadowy email email X emailer X says I'm a
local mail carrier with the United States Postal Service. Didn't
I read this letter in Penthouse magazine? Been on. I
don't think so. I'm a local mail carrier with the

(19:11):
United States Postal service. The other day, we had a
ballot that we needed to deliver for early voting. However,
we noticed that the recipient had been dead for two years.
We did a quick Google search just to make sure
we knew what we were talking about. For the obituaries.
We were able to confirm it. So you think that
everything is on the up and up, you're kidding yourself.

(19:34):
Signed shadowy emailer X local mail carrier with the Spice
the United States Postal Services. I'd be very curious which
political party was pushing that. I don't know. It might

(19:55):
maybe none. I don't know. What is the process when
someone dies. Let's say we'll make this, We'll keep this
on the happy side. Let's say I die, yay, and
my wife who I mean? After my After I die,
my wife suddenly has a lot of different things she

(20:18):
and has to take care of. First of all, which
of the multiple potential suitors is she gonna go with
first or next or whatever? I don't know. All I
know is my anniversary comes up in early November. I
have to run for reelection every single year. Members of
Congress get two years Senate six. You know, I have

(20:38):
to run for reelection every single year and this year,
the competition is stronger than ever. The signs in my
yard of people competing with me to stay married to
my wife. Dan Osborne was out there himself putting a
sign in my yard. I was like, Dan, he said,
I'm just a Plaine talking Nebraska. I'm just a working
man and I want to work on that. And he's

(20:59):
pointing to my wife like, Hey, that's my family, you know,
that's the kind of thing that anyway. Where was I, Oh, yeah,
so I die. My wife has all these different guys
lining up to take a shot at it. My kids
are like oh, and then they just put their headphones
back on and go back to whatever they're doing. And
at some point she says, oh, I need to make

(21:22):
sure that he doesn't get a ballot to vote. What
is the process? Does filing the death certificate start a
chain reaction across these agencies to let them know this
person's dead and therefore shouldn't be mailed to ballot.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Well, I was kind of thinking around going down that
same line, because the bureaucracy, the what now the bureaucracy,
I can't forget it.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Just he was the he was the forty fourth president,
forty fourth president of the United States, Baracus Frock.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Uh. Now, you can't say so anyway because of that.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
He could be because what come on, you can do long.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
It takes so long it takes the government to do anything.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
How about that professional broadcaster Lucy.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Chap There's some words you can't say.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
So, maybe not for this election, but for twenty twenty eight.
If we still have a country by then we have
a fascist dictator in charge. That could be true of
either one, depending up for whom you're going to vote
twenty twenty eight, I die any minute. Now, What does
my spouse have to do to make sure that I

(22:33):
don't get mailed to ballot four years from now? I
don't know. I mean, you hear about all this stuff
about if a loved one dies, you know about it,
do this and do that, file this. I never thought
like you'd have to make sure that they're no longer
on the voter rolls. That do I have to go
to Brian Cruz's house, the Douglas County election commissioner, and

(22:55):
and you know, sit him down at his computer and
force him to click that name off there.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
What happens, Well, I think you have to stay take it.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
It's Okay for you to say you don't know, I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Well, you have to take a step back because this
is one instance of a guy who actually died just
two years ago. If if you were you can't see,
you can't see monsters behind every tree. And that's coming
from somebody who is a conspiracy theorist. So you gotta
use your brain. You've got to think logically and.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Critically you do. No, I'm not I'm not going conspiracy
on this one. I'm going to the reality of what
do you need to do when someone dies so that
they don't get a ballot mailed to them, so that
they know if someone died two years ago and suddenly
they vote this year, that that triggers something somewhere that
says we don't think that this happened.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Well, if they died two years ago. This is what
I was trying to say. It's it's very possible they
could still get a ballot because that may not have
even if it was filed immediately a death certificate because
of the way the slow movement of government. I'm just
one problem is going to be what I have to do.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Is that my responsibility or does filing the death certificate
trigger all that. I'm I'm waiting for kfab Nation to
answer this one.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Not yet.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
I know what you to carry this I'm looking No,
I know what you're trying to say. Bureaucracy.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
I know.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Here me let me go to this, all right, let
me go to this story because in talking about those
who are in this country illegally, people have been found
to be non citizens voting illegally in places like this
story here from Iowa. But in Nebraska, we got these guys,
the two men from Guatemala who were out I don't know,

(24:43):
out in the field or lake, I don't know. They
were out someplace and they see these birds and they're like, hey,
look at those birds, and we should kill them and
eat them. And it turns out these two guys from
Guatemala killed and eight a bald eagle in Stanton County, Nebraska.

(25:07):
It's out there, Stanton, Nebraska, Stanton County. And so this
happened back in yeah, February twenty twenty three, there was
a suspicious vehicle at the Wood Duck Wildlife Management Area
in Stanton County. Law enforcement approached the vehicle and had

(25:28):
Hernandez and Zatino, who had admitted to shooting and taking
the bald eagle, and then this guy had the bald
eagle dead in his trunk. They hadn't eaten it yet.
I don't know if they're gonna eat it. I don't know.
But it turns out the law prohibits anyone from having
anything to do bad against a bald eagle.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
You can't even have a feather.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Really, h excuse me, I have to go.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
If you can prove that it was given to you, and.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
It was given to me by the bald eagle, you know.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
If you can prove that it was given to you
the way I understand it, it was given to you
by a Native American, you I think you can keep that.
I really think. But again we'll wait to hear from.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Why does a Native American get to just start plucking
bald eagles.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
I'm not saying that they're just out there plucking bald eagles.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Anyway, here's the thing about this I find funny. I
don't know about these guys. I don't know their story
and all this I'm just thinking about. You know, I'm
always trying to put myself in someone else's moccasins, and
so I'm in Guatemala, for example, And I'm I'm maybe
I'm a hunter, maybe I'm hungry, maybe I just like

(26:42):
shooting birds. I don't know. I'm out there and I
see a bird and go, wow, look at that bird.
That's a special Look at bird, and I shoot it.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
But they don't have eagles in Guatemala.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
And bet they do. Yeah, but is the bald eagle
a protected species in Guatemala? I bet it's not. But
there might be some bird.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Maybe they used to have them.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
But see that's that's the thing now right there. All
the Guatemalans ate them, and so then they had to
come north to find more of their food source. So
what I'm saying is if I'm in another country, whether
it's Guatemala or North Korea or whatever, and I shoot
a bird and I'm walking around, going look this bird
I shot, and they're like, wait, that's our special magic bird,
that's our special protected bird. That's our symbol. You don't

(27:25):
know what our symbol is, our special bird in this country. Like,
I don't have any idea what you're talking about. I
don't speak your language. In this example, they're yelling at
me and their native tongue. But anyway, I find out
I've killed their magic protected bird. Now Here in America
we have the bald eagle. In Guatemala, it might be
a sparrow. I don't know. Maybe I got these things
and they're maybe one of them like hits my window

(27:48):
because I got it too clean, and they're like, you
can't have your window that clean. And next thing you know,
I'm deported out of Guatemala because I killed their magic bird.
How would these guys know if you came to America
from Guatemala, how would you know that the bald eagles
are protected species? But these guys are getting deported, and
you know, it doesn't break my heart or anything, but

(28:09):
I think it's interesting that these guys are getting deported.
But the people who are non citizens voting illegally in Iowa,
the Department of Justice says they get to stay. Scottitkfab
dot com is the email address here Zonker's custom woods
inbox always open for you Via scottitkfab dot com. I

(28:31):
spent part of the last hour talking about how the
Department of Justice here the Biden Harris administration is pushing
against states like Iowa and Virginia and North Carolina, to
name a few who are trying to expunge that's right,
exponge non citizens from the voter rolls, even though in
Iowa they found evidence of thousands of people in the

(28:55):
country illegally registering to vote, which is a felony. And
so they go to the DOJ and say, here are
the names, and the DOJ says, we can't do anything
about it. It's too close to the election. That's like
robbing a bank at four point fifty eight pm. We're
not going to do anything about it. It's too close

(29:16):
to quittin time. Okay, I guess that's when you rob
a bank, right with the kind of what's going on
right now. So when we were talking about this in
the last hour and someone pointed out that her his
or her sorry I forget who emailed what, but a
parent had died a couple of years ago and this

(29:38):
parent had just gotten a ballot in the mail to vote.
And we were talking about what does one have to
do when and the example I gave is when I die.
And on that front, I got this email from our
buddy Corley. Corley says, don't you dare die on me, Scott.

(30:00):
There are only a couple of things in the entertainment
world that I really like, and the other one hasn't
been able to play good football for over twenty years.
I didn't realize you were an Iowa fan. It hurts
all right, Courley, thank you very much for the email.
I'll try not to. But if I die, is it

(30:20):
incumbent upon my wife as she's battering off, you know,
new potential suitors for her hand and trying to console
my children, you know, crying saying he occasionally takes me
to get chicken strips. You know, that would probably be
about it. Between rounds of golf. He sometimes comes and says, so,

(30:42):
how are you guys, You know, like we're gonna kind
of miss that. He comes in every morning and tries
desperately to wake me up several times and occasionally succeeds.
That's exclusive to my teenage son. Anyway, if I die,

(31:02):
as an incumbent upon my wife to go and tell
the election commissioner's office he gall therefore I can't vote,
Or does the process of me dying and then through
the process of all of the things that happen next
there's a death certificate, and does that then trigger a
chain reaction? Well, that's a good question, and I have
some answers to it, But Lucy kind of miss the

(31:26):
point of that email, and that was why would you
be mailed? And it could be this person's wrong, But
the question then is why would you be mailed a ballot?
Now two things are at play here. Either both political
parties do this. They'll mail you a sample ballot. Sometimes

(31:49):
it looks like it's coming from the election commissioner's office.
They'll use that as the return address, and it looks
like you're sample ballot, but it'll already be filled in
for you with all the Democrats. Like vote for Kamala Harris,
vote for Preston Love Junior, vote for Tony Vargas. You know.
So it has all this stuff and people look at

(32:11):
this and go, I can't believe my election commissioner has
already fill out my ballot with all Democrats. This is
proof that there's a rigged election. Like that's it's it's
just it's a form of campaign advertising. They make it
look official, but it is. It's that's no more legitimate
than things that are illegit. I don't know, I don't

(32:33):
have a good reference there, but it's not legitimate. It's
what I'm trying to say, so it could have been
something like that, or because if you're going to get
a ballot mailed to you in this election cycle, that
means in this election cycle you had to request a ballot,
whether it's early or absentee voting, which in the case

(32:54):
of that emailer, if dear old dad died two years ago,
hard to leave that two years ago he requested in
advance of the twenty twenty four elections an early ballot
to vote. Don't even think you can do that. So
that's the question then with why is the family getting

(33:16):
a ballot anyway? If he died two years ago. Now
that's a good question, isn't it. Here are some of
the emails come in here via scottkfab dot com. Bonnie says,
my brother died a couple of years ago. I called
the Douglas County election commissioner to tell them to take

(33:36):
his name off the registration. I called soon after he
died and they said they already did. I didn't ask
how they knew. I didn't put it in the newspaper.
I'm guessing the coroner's office informs them. It made me
proud of my county, though absolutely Bonnie, thank you for that,
Amy says, my dad passed away a month ago and

(33:56):
he'd already been mailed to ballot. Now that's a little
different than two years ago. My dad passed away a
month ago, and he'd already been mailed a ballot. My mom,
being a good person, took the ballot back to the
voting place and they had her right deceased on it,
and then they took it. I'm sure there are others
who would have taken advantage of that and voted illegally. Amy,

(34:20):
you're right, only emails and says yes, Lucy is correct. Oh,
this is a this is about a feather from a
bald eagle. What were you saying about that, Lucy?

Speaker 2 (34:34):
You're not even allowed to have a feather from a
bald eagle unless you can prove that it was given
to you, because they're ceremonial. It is there, that's there.
It's a religious uh given to you by a Native America,
by Native American.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Yes, so this email says and the subject line is
have feather from eagle. Says yes, Lucy is correct. My
friend is Native American. He has a tribal card. He
gave me a feather from a bald eagle because he
knew how much I wanted. One says he lives on
the northeast coast by the ocean, actually two blocks from

(35:09):
Mouth's house. That's your Goonies reference for this segment of
the radio program. Yeah, Mouth from Gooneyes. So he's up around. Ah,
we were there. I can't think of the name of
the little town up there. My son got a shirt.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
You're gonna obsess about.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
It, I know, all right, Sorry, sorry, So he lives
up there. It's where the rocks are, where the old
you know, the pirate's boat comes out. Anyway, Now I
can't think of the name.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Of the You're still trying, all right, Sorry.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
I know it's almost there, so he said. Anyway, those
bald eagle feathers are all over the place. He saw
one fall from a nest and he kept it for me.
And again the subject line is have feather from Eagle, which,
by the way, is the guy's name, Eagle, native American's name.
His name is half feather from Oh, that's his Indian

(36:02):
All right, there's a long way to go for that joke.
Other emails Sharon, see I know what, Yes, Sharon says,
my father died in two thousand and four. He was
called for jury duty twice after he died, once for
district and once for federal court. I had the lady

(36:22):
at the jury duty office argue with me about whether
or not he was dead. Oh, yeah, we know a
lot of people trying a lot of ways to get
out of jury duty. What a horrible thing for a
family to go through. I've got a family member who
lost a spouse earlier this year, and the emotion of

(36:43):
just dealing with the continued spam messages and phone calls
and whatever, whether it's legitimate or not, that always come
up in her name. Obviously, anytime he walks around the house,
that's a daily reminder she's not there. But it's just
crippling and then you have to like call someone or
in this case, go to the office and tell them, yeah,

(37:04):
she can't serve on this jury she's dead. And they're like, really,
what a horrible thing to put someone through. Why would
someone do that? And by the way, does that work
if you get called for jury duty.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
I was actually thinking they probably have to deal with
this a lot, so I just send someone else in
there and go, yeah, Lucy, can't she died. If they
can be a little bit more sensitive, you don't get
to argue with them. Then, you know, just take the
death certificate in and take the jury someone in and
I mean, what more can you do?

Speaker 1 (37:37):
That's how it work. Lucy gets called for jury duty
and I go in there with the letter and like
a fake letter on like KFAB letterhead, I died, can't
do jury duty, sign Lucy, And I'm handing it over
to them, and they're looking out the window, going, we
know she's not dead. We can see her. She's hiding
behind that light pole. And it's not that we can
see her because she's fat. We're not saying that very

(38:00):
very thin light pole. That's how that was.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
No, I had my physical yesterday. It's official.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
In fact, Astoria is the name of that town and
there's a there's a specific beach there though, too. But yeah, Astoria,
thank you, KFAB Nation, everyone here, Tom, rob Ben, Jennifer,
thank you very much. Astoria. Where was I? Oh, yeah,

(38:33):
I don't know. Anyway, it sounds it sounds like if
someone dies, there is an automatic process that triggers tailing someone,
like the election commissioner's office that they died. Stacey says Stacey.
Says Scott, you don't have to do anything. You can
go to the election commissioner's website and look up the

(38:54):
voter to see if they're still on the voter rolls.
That's a good idea.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Okay, Well, nobody's going to do that.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
Well they might, all right, So anyway, we have an
election here and one of the polsters yesterday issued his
gut feeling about the election. I'll tell you who said
what next? Scott boys. Great to have you with us
here on news radio eleven ten KFAB. Whether or not

(39:22):
you recognize that this song is the theme to one
of the greatest movies of all time, Break into Electric Boogaloo,
Little Ali and Jerry. We got them both on this one.
I'm Scott. There's Lucy Chapman, the Ali and Jerry of
Omaha Talk Radio. Ain't nobody does it better? All right,
let me just try and alienate several patches of the

(39:45):
radio audience by referencing songs from breakdance movies in the
early eighties. This is news radio eleven ten kfab. Where
else where else are you going to get this kind
of talk here?

Speaker 2 (39:56):
I'll help you, Yes, I go bring back some of
the audience.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
Yes, you're the very first. I thought you were gonna say,
I'll help you by continuing to talk about break dancing
movies of the early eighties. We haven't even talked about
Beat Street. Now, what were you gonna say?

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Stay with us, Stay with us the very first rap song.
Huh yes, Johnny Cash, I've been everywhere man.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
Yeah, you can make that argument. Some people will point
to the first charting pop rap song is Rapture by
Blondie because Debbie Harry was just kind of talking. Yeah,
but whatever.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Anyway, all right, move on anyway.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
I was thinking about Jerry Duty a moment ago, because
I was going to reference that the I think it's
the kicker for the Dallas Cowboys or one. I don't
know if he's the placekicker or the punter or whoever
they have down there. I don't think it's the punter
who tries to hit the giant scoreboard, you know, above
the fifty yard line there and Jerry's bigger ring. Anyway,

(40:56):
kicker for the Dallas Cowboys might not be able to
play this weekend because he's been called for jury duty
and the team said we're going to try and get
you out of it. He said, no, no, this is
my duty as a responsible American. I want to do it.
And even I don't want to play for the Dallas
Cowboys anymore. I've been called for jury duty, or at

(41:18):
least I got a summons once, but the night before
I was to go. The next morning, they called up
and said, never mind, so and that kind of that's
happened to you. I think a couple of times.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
I've been called three times. The first time I didn't
I had legitimate reasons why I couldn't, and they said
that's fine. And both the second and third time, yeah,
they called like the night before, we don't want Yeah,
a lot.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
Of people are wondering what legitimate excuse you gave to
get you out of jury duty.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
It was a long time. I want to say I
was sick or was having I don't know, hair day.
It was probably a fat day. My batpants are in
the washed.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
I'm feeling kind of fat. I don't want to go
to jury duty. I would. I would serve on a
jury and I hope it's a good one.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
Not like it going to the other two times.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah, I don't want to be something stupid like a
jaywalking charge or graffiti or I want to get into it.
I want to send a guy to the chair.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
Well hang on, because Omaha is getting more and more crazy.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
And I'm not even for the death penalty. I just
want that awesome responsibility to legally take a guy's life.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
There really is something wrong with you.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
Thank you. Nate Silver is the founder of five thirty eight,
and he's the one who looks at all the different
polls of you know, what's going on in this day,
what's going on in that state, how's this district looking?
And he then every four years before the election comes
out and says, well, here I am, I'm like a
human groundhog. I'm going to tell you what my gut

(42:48):
reaction is of what's going to happen on election day
and who was going to be the next president. And
he says, quote, my gut says Don Trump. And my
guess is that that is true for many anxious Democrats unquote.

(43:09):
So what he's saying is I think Trump's gonna win.
And I think there are a lot of very nervous
Democrats who agree with that gut feeling. They also think
Trump's going to win, and they're very very nervous now
jd Vance is out there telling people, don't believe these polls.
Don't believe people like Nate Silver. They're trying to suppress

(43:30):
anyone who would potentially go out and vote for Trump.
They don't want you to vote, They want you to
think it's in the bag. I heard Trump's gonna win.
That's what Nate Silver said. That's what the betting market
is saying right now. They think Trump's gonna win. This
presidential election. Is now responsible for someone quitting their job.

(43:53):
There is an editorials editor, the editorials editor at the
Los Angeles Times, Mariel Garza. Is this a boy, Mariel
or a girl? Maryel? Do we have a pronoun in here?
Does it matter anymore? Anyway? The editorials editor of the

(44:14):
Los Angeles Time quit yesterday because the owner of the
newspaper barred the editorial board from endorsing for President Kamala Harris.
Mariel Garza says, quote, I am resigning because I want
to make it clear that I am not okay with

(44:36):
us being silent in dangerous times. Honest people need to
stand up. This is how I'm standing up. Now. Here's
what the newspaper said. The owner, doctor Patrick Soon Shong,

(44:56):
owner of the Los Angeles Times. I don't know who
this is, but the statement posted on social media said
the editorial Board was provided the opportunity to draft a
factual analysis of all the positive and negative policies by
each candidate during their tenures at the White House and

(45:16):
how these policies affected the nation. In addition, the board
was asked to provide their understanding of the policies and
plans enunciated by the candidates during this campaign and its
potential potential effect on the nation in the next four years.
In this way, with the clear and non partisan information

(45:37):
side by side, our readers could decide who would be
worthy of being president for the next four years. Instead
of adopting this path as suggested, the editorial board chose
to remain silent and I accepted their decision. Please vote.

(45:58):
That's the statement from the newspaper. Again, Basically, it looks
to me the editorial board went and said, well, we
want to endorse Kamala Harris, and the newspaper said, I've
got a different idea here. And bear in mind all
of these decisions have to do with business. I mean,

(46:21):
there's some journalistic integrity on behalf of some people. But
I'm guessing if you're the owner of the newspaper, there's
probably some business decision maybe looking at how people have
seen that too many newspapers across the country are just
left wing rags. And here's the funny part. As more
and more media is owned by and you got parents

(46:42):
from liberal causes and organizations like George Sorow's kind of things,
you know who typically doesn't consume a lot of media, newspaper, radio, TV,
people who tend to be more left wing, they're just
not that interested in subscribing to the newspaper in many instances.

(47:06):
Now some people, I mean, there's any kind of number
of reasons why this might be. Some people might take
the certain notion that they don't want to be informed,
they'd rather be ignorant, and they don't want to pick
up a newspaper because it might have something that they
might disagree with. I'll tell you this. There was a

(47:27):
talk radio experiment in the two thousands called the Heck
was it called I can't remember the name, Radio America
or something like that, and it was supposed to be
this whole left wing lineup available to radio stations bought

(47:48):
up by more left leaning individuals across the country who
would listen to this, and they would hear voices not
like Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck. They would hear voices
like Janine Garoffalo and and people like that. And it
was more it was a left wing answer to right

(48:10):
wing hate talk radio. And they put it out there
had a lot of money behind it, and that money
all went away because no one listened to it.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
Is the senator from the SNL or Alf Frankah.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
Al Franken was one of the Air America. Yeah, that's right,
Air America. Al Franken, Janin Garofalo had like one or
two actual radio people. Now people looked at like Rush
Limbaugh looked at it. After they finally folded up and
said this chair or whatever and says that. It just
goes to show you the left doesn't want to be

(48:48):
informed in this country. They don't want to consume news,
they don't want to know what's going on. They just
want to go with what their feeling is. They don't. Actually,
now that might be true of some people. I think
it was because they took a bunch of people who
were not radio people and just put them on the

(49:10):
radio and said there you go be radio people.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
Now.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
You can complain about Rush Limbaugh, as people did throughout
his entire career, but you have to look at where
that career started. Rush Limbaugh started at small radio stations.
He honed his craft, he got fired from radio stations,
he survived, He kept trying to find ways that he
could get his message out, not just to get listeners

(49:35):
with the message, but also with entertainment. It doesn't work
if you just go on the radio every single day
and go Democrats are bad call now. But that's what
Air America did. Republicans are terrible call now. You have
to have some radio experience and know how to work
the medium, and no one did that better in talk

(49:56):
radio than the godfather himself, Rush Limbaugh. And that's why
he was so popular. And that's why he was so successful,
not necessarily because he was conservative, but because he was
incredibly entertaining. So they just come out with this progressive
answer Air America and say, there we go. We're just

(50:18):
gonna basically tell you how Rush Limbaugh is a big,
fat idiot. And it wasn't that entertaining, and that's why
it folded. So when media says or does anything like
the owner of the Los Angeles Times. They might have
a message they want to grind out there, certainly, but

(50:38):
it has to be something that people actually want to consume.
And if the owner of the Los Angeles Times said,
how about this, as people seem to be longing for
a more fact based approach to journalism and reporting, Now
stay with me on this one. Maybe we just provide

(50:59):
the positive and negative policies by each candidate. Each has
been in office now for about four years, in the
case of Vice President Harris almost four years. Trump had
four years in office. What were the positive things that
emerged during these reigns? What were the things that the
editorial board of the LA Times sees as negative things?

(51:19):
And then compare and contrast that with each other. But
also what they're saying now about what they want, not
what they say the other sign's going to do the
things that they say they want to do in office,
not what Kamala says Project twenty twenty five is that
Trump has nothing to do with it. The actual things
they're saying and whether these would be good or bad
for the country. Let's actually do some journalism here. And

(51:43):
the editorial editor of the LA Time said, no, I
just want to say that kamala Is did to be
winning and Trump is a fascist dictator. And they said,
all right, that's not what we're going to have. And
this person quit me. She oh garza, she just said, quote,

(52:04):
I am resigning because I want to make it clear
that I am not okay with us being silent unquote.
How did that phrase get to be such a liberal
buzz phrase not okay.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
I don't know, because it's been around for a long time.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
But I only really hear about it in terms of
someone who is trying to lay some liberal gibber jabber
on you, right, that is not okay, or you know what.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
I guess I'm used to hearing it as this a
situation is not okay. I guess it is new that
I'm not okay. Yeah, that's okay.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
That's different, but still that phrase and not okay, Like
do you ever remember hearing it or using that when
we're growing up. No, not a fairly recent thing here,
And usually it's like this is not okay, I am
not okay with this. In dangerous time, dangerous times again,
the owner of the newspaper told the editorial board, tell

(53:08):
me you can do this, Tell me what Trump did
in four years of being president that was so dangerous
and since they couldn't do that, I'm gonna quit. Okay,
quit honest. People need to stand up, and this is
how I'm standing up. All right? You know what? That
and a dime will get you a bazooka joe piece

(53:29):
of bubble gum. No one else gives a rip, but
you know, have fun on social media. You're out of
a job. As I said Trump as McDonald's employee is
getting selling a lot of Halloween costumes right now. But
on another food front, I'm very nervous about what this

(53:50):
might mean for Omaha. We'll close out the show with
that next Scott Byes News Radio eleven ten kfab wishing
Omaha's own Matthew Sweet Lincoln native became a great alternative
rock star in the nineties with hits like Sick of
Myself and this little early nineties diddy girlfriend suffered a debilitating,

(54:13):
a debilitating stroke in Canada this month, and now he's
on the mend here in Omaha. Might have to be
a karaoke Friday tomorrow on this or Sick of Myself,
So we'll revisit that possibility tomorrow. Lucy probably didn't know
that song That's a Girlfriend by Matthew sweet great song.
I want to close the program here with another food note.

(54:35):
I mentioned that Halloween sales of Trump at McDonald's costumes
are going through the roof. But I'm concerned about Denny's.
The franchise just announced they're closing more than ten percent
of their restaurants. Hundreds of restaurants will close in the
next year and a half or so. Any of them
in Omaha right now, we don't know. The company says

(54:58):
most of them seem to be California, Tech, Florida, and Arizona.
They're going to be the underperforming ones. But in the meantime,
if you want a moon's over Miammi, get to that
great Denny's location off eighty fourth and I eighty one
of my favorite places in the world. I admit I
don't go there as much as I did in high school.
In fact, we should do at Gourmet Club there, but
we'd have to do it at one o'clock in the

(55:18):
morning because it's Denny's. Scott Voyes Mornings nine to eleven,
Our News Radio eleven ten kfab
