Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vordiez Lucy, good morning, great to see you.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Good morning to you.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Scott's when you dropped your mink coat at the Grammys
last night and showed everyone that you were essentially nude,
I mean, what was going through your mind as you
were standing there next to your good friend Kanye West.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I was hot. Gosh, it's hot in there.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
It's toasty on the red carpet. And if they just
you know, turned on the air conditioning outside of where
the Grammys were held, then you wouldn't have had to
do that. I hadn't considered that. In Toronto, there was
I don't know, one of these one of these basketball

(00:44):
teams went up there to play the Toronto Raptors, and
they announced the fifteen year old girl who was singing
the national anthem into it. You know, since it's an
American team going up there. They do the Canadian national anthem, which,
as you know, is the song take Off by Bob
and Doug McKenzie featuring Geddy Lee from Rush, and then

(01:06):
they have the American national anthem. Hard to hear her
over the sound of the Canadians booing the national anthem. Now,

(01:30):
of course, I don't believe that they were booing her specifically,
but think about being her for a moment. Fifteen year
old girl and you're singing the national anthem before a
basketball game that no one outside of the sparsely attended
arena is actually going to watch. But still it's a
big deal because you're singing America's national anthem, I'll bee

(01:53):
at on foreign soil, and the people there in Canada
and Toronto start booing you as you're singing. Think about
if that was your daughter out there, how do you
go from as soon as this anthem starts, I'm gonna
take my hand off my heart, I'm gonna put my
hat back on, and I'm gonna start punching every single

(02:15):
one of you. You know, how do you not do that?
Your daughter is out there singing and everyone's booing. Why
are they booing? Because broken record radio here. They still
haven't figured out that when Trump says I want this,
he doesn't want that. He wants something else. Now Canada

(02:38):
knows what he wants. I don't know what he wants,
he says.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
When you say Canada, you're talking about the government knows
what he wants.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, the Canadian government, right, they know what he wants.
Mexico knows what he wants, China knows what he wants.
So when Trump says, all right, here we go starting tomorrow. Now,
if he really wanted this, he would have done it
a couple of weeks ago. He would have done it yesterday.

(03:05):
It would already be in effect. He doesn't need to
give any notice. He just the other day he said,
all right, starting Tuesday, twenty five percent tariff on imports
from Canada and Mexico and a ten percent import on
tariffs from China. Now he's already said all right, ten
percent on that coming from Canada and Mexico. That has

(03:29):
to do with oil, natural gas, electricity and other energy products.
You know, he doesn't want to hurt Americans too badly
though he already said, eah, there might be some short
term pain uh here. And you start thinking like, oh, no,
everything's going to cost twenty five percent more. Yes, if
you exclusively get everything that you buy from Canada and Mexico,

(03:54):
things are going to cost a little bit more. What exactly, Well,
before I get into that, Trump wants Mexico to be
stronger when it comes to battling what the invasion going
on on our southern border. He wants that. He wants
China to stop the fentanyl production, which then comes into

(04:17):
America through Mexico or Canada. So we also wants Canada
to be stronger because if China's like, all right, America
is really watching that southern border, and apparently we can't
get our drugs into there, so now we'll just go
through Canada. No big deal. America doesn't seem to be
all that concern with the northern border. And then Trump

(04:39):
starts cutting off the northern border. Now all of this
would be solved if you would stop doing so much fentanyl.
Good lord, your mother told you everything in moderation. Why
don't you cut back your fentanyl habit by fifty percent
and we wouldn't have to do this. The only fentanyl

(05:05):
I do because I do a little. I am a
little bit into fentanyl fitting all this pizza into my mouth.
Don't don't laugh at that. Now you laughed at it,
don't laugh at that. So if Americans would just put
just a just a curtail, maybe not every single day

(05:27):
and night of the week. Do you just gobble up
your fentanyl. I don't really know much about it. They
tell you that as much as one little grain of
salt sized bit a fentanyl can kill a beluga whale
or something. Now I don't know who. And God's Green
Earth is walking around going, hey, where's that stuff that

(05:47):
could kill a camel? Give me some of that? Have
we run out of rum? Are we all out of beer?
Is did the pino grisio supply in this country dry up?
Or if you absolutely got to? Apparently there's all sorts
of different ways you can ingest various levels of THC
into your system. Is that all gone? Because I understand

(06:10):
that's by your mom's house. So apparently there are people like, look,
I've drank it all, I've smoked it all, I've snorted
it all, I've injected it all. Where's that stuff that
could bring down a bobcat? Give me some of that.
So if we would just control our fentanyl habit in

(06:30):
this country but just a little bit, then maybe we
wouldn't have to do this. So back to I don't
know that I went back to anything. So Trump says
I want twenty five percent tariff on this, twenty five
percent tariff on that. He doesn't want the twenty five
percent tariff on any of this. He wants Canada to
get serious about what's really being imported into this country,

(06:53):
and same with Mexico, and that's drugs and human trafficking
and gangs and all the rest of this stuff. He
wants them to really crack down on this. So when
he says I want this, it doesn't matter what this is.
He doesn't think he's going to get that. He wants
something else. It's the same Trump negotiating tactic he's been
doing since the Art of the Deal in the eighties.

(07:15):
He wrote a book about it. No one should be
surprised by death. He did it as four years in
four years as president of the United States, and now
he's been in office now for a couple of weeks.
He's doing it again. And yet somehow the media and
the politicians every time he does this are shocked and surprised,
like what is he doing? All right? So what do

(07:35):
we get from Canada? The biggest thing we import, The
biggest thing imported from Canada to America is mineral fuels
and oils, which Trump already said is not going to
be subject to a twenty five percent tariff, though it
could be subject to a ten percent tariff. So that's it.

(07:58):
The other one is cars vehicles. There's no Canadian car,
probably something that runs on maple syrup or something I'm
not familiar with. But there are a lot of vehicles
that are made in Canada and then imported here. All
these vehicles are also made here. The vehicles that are

(08:23):
imported the most into America the Chevy Silverado, the fifteen hundred,
and the HD, followed by the Honda Civic and Honda CRV,
the Toyota Rav four, the Lexus NX and RX, the
Chrysler PACIFICA and Voyager Grand Caravan, and the Dodge Charger.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
It sounds like all makes it.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Least the Dodge Charger isn't made in America. All these
vehicles are also made in America. So like, oh, it's
the cost of a Honda CRV gonna go up twenty
five percent? No, because that would just be those vehicles
that Honda produces in Canada, which isn't a ton. They

(09:08):
make more in Japan, and they make a lot in America,
and they also make some in Canada. So it would
then be the twenty five percent would be spread out
amongst all that they make everywhere. And so next time
you go buy yourself a Honda. It's not going to
be twenty five percent more. Might be a little bit more,

(09:28):
but let's also focus on this what doesn't cost a
whole heck of a lot more now than just two
years ago, five years ago, ten years ago, Which then
begs the question whether we're talking about that which is
imported from Canada or Mexico or China. It begs the

(09:54):
question as Trump does whatever, as Elon Musk and his
doz do whatever and suggest whatever, like we're cutting this
and this aid is gone, and this is subject to
a tariff, and people start wringing their hands and gnashing
their teeth, or if they're really dumb, they start gnashing

(10:15):
their hands and wringing their teeth, and then they're going
to realize, like, wow, gnashing my hands was a really
bad idea. These hands are nothing but bloody stumps at
this point. But you know, you do you and everyone
starts clutching their pearls over Trump doing anything. Now, when
you hear most of the politicians and media people react

(10:38):
to anything Trump does, it's automatically going to be bad.
Why wouldn't someone ask them the next time someone on
some politicians, some media members, some head of some Democratic
party somewhere or one of your friends on Facebook starts
going off about Trump's doing this and it's terrible. What

(10:59):
about what we been doing now in America is so
great that it couldn't be changed? What have we been
doing in this country that have made conditions completely unaffordable
for so many people? Now, when I left you a
week ago, we talked about some email that some guy

(11:20):
sent me. We didn't get a chance to get into it,
but I posted it on Facebook about how whether it's insurance,
it's rent, it's mortgage rates, all this stuff is going
up exponentially, and it's especially difficult for young people to
be able to afford not just their first home, but rent.

(11:41):
Whether it's the cost of college or insurance, rent, all
this stuff is skyrocketing in this country. So Trump and
Elon Musk and the rest of these guys come in
there and say we need to do something different, and
people go, no, are they saying it because it's Trump? Yes,
they don't want Trump to do anything because they hate Trump.

(12:03):
Someone needs to ask them, what about what we've been
doing is so great that we shouldn't or couldn't take
a look at changing it? And I haven't even told
you about the third thing that we import from Canada.
Now this one really is going to impact us. I'll
tell you what this is next. Scott Goyes News Radio

(12:25):
eleven to ten kfab Joel says, nobody gives a rip
about tariffs. We need to hear all about your vacation.
Where'd you go? What'd you do? I went south and
played a lot of golf there. Now back to tariffs.
I that's essentially what I did. I could go into
greater detail. I made stops in Branson, Tulsa, and for

(12:46):
the first time I spent some time golfing, and spent
a little more time than I ever had in Oklahoma
City and enjoyed Oklahoma City. Stopped and saw family in Wichita,
and got one more round of cold, windy golf in

(13:07):
at Woodland Hills just side of Lincoln and Beautiful Eagle, Nebraska,
before going to try to watch my daughter at the
All City Music event to the music festival whatever they
call it on Saturday night back here in Omaha. I
have a note to address that later. It's an OPS

(13:28):
run event, so you know I have problems with it.
So that's what I did on my summer vacation. The
third thing that we import the most from Canada first
be mineral fuels and oils, which is not subject to
a twenty five percent. It could be subject to a
ten percent. But again Trump says, here's a big tariff.

(13:52):
We're gonna it starts tomorrow. That means that you've got
the rest of the day to do what I want.
Ask Columbia how that worked out. Remember last week when
Trump said, all right, we've rounded up some people who
are some bad dudes from Colombia. We're sending them back
to you. These are Colombian nationals. These are your people,
and we're not going to house them and pay for

(14:13):
them in American jails. You're taking them. And Columbia president
said the heck I am, And Trump said, all right,
We've just imposed a million percent tariff on everything from Columbia.
And the Colombian President's like, I'm still not taking your people.
You're bluffing, And then, for whatever reason, about an hour later,

(14:33):
the Colombian president said, we will be happy to take
these Colombian nationals here just to a make sure that
they're in good care. We're concerned about the care they
received in American jails. We'll put them in Colombian jails, right.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
To boil that geopolitical issue down into a third grade
art argument, Trump said you're doing this. Columbia said uh huh,
and Trump said yes, huh. And Columbia goes no, and
Trump said all right, and then Columbia said, oh, oh, okay.

(15:17):
And that's how that worked out. So Canada in this
instance might just be a bigger Columbia. Trump wants something else.
He's threatening the tariffs. We'll see what ends up. We'll
see what he really wants and what Canada actually the

(15:39):
Columbia North actually does. So the things we import for
Canada subject to this tariff, mineral fuels and oils that'd
be subject to ten percent of this goes through vehicles,
which all these vehicles are also made in America, which
it also seems like what Trump wants is more things
made in America, manufactured in America with American jobs. What

(16:02):
a terrible thing to want. Boy, he's the worst, isn't he. Now?
The third biggest thing they we import from Canada, This
one's gonna this one's gonna sting a little bit if
we have to pay twenty five percent more for this Lucy.
The third biggest thing we import from Canada nuclear reactors.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Oh, I was gonna say syrup, No nuclear reactors, what
the whole things and parts and machinery. Now I'm in
the process. I watched a couple of YouTube videos. I
decided that electricity was getting a little bit too expensive.
So I'm building. I looked all over my homeowners Association codes,

(16:50):
and as long as it's not a shed, I can
have a nuclear reactor. So I've been kind of diying
a nuke reactor on the side of my house. You know,
something small, something tasteful. I don't need it to run
the entire city, just enough to UH to run, you know,
take care of my house. And even though my kids

(17:12):
have started growing antlers already, yeah, I don't.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Think, well, yeah, we've already. I've already brought in all
the enriched uranium and all that stuff. And so we've
been doing that and mostly, I mean, the kids want
to help, so they go out there. My son started
after spending a lot of time in enriching uranium and
putting the the spent rods in the UH, I just
put them in the recycling. I think I can just
put those in the recycling bin right spent nuclear runs

(17:39):
so that I don't know. So he's been doing that,
and after spending just a couple of days doing that,
started regrowing his umbilical cord, which was weird, but uh,
you know, now he's got you know, like he's got
a little front tail. He can spin around.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Well, there's always a bright side, right.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Right, like when fancy guys would walk into a club
in the you know, nineteen twenties and they're spinning like
a pocket watch or something like that, it kind of
looks cool. So I've just fitted him for a top
hat in the cane and now he spins his umbilical
cord around and so that's cool, and we're saving money
on electricity. But if it's going to cost an extra
twenty five percent to get my nuclear reactor from I've

(18:22):
been getting it for Canada, and uh, you know, I
still got some more parts. So twenty five percent on
nuclear reactors. I didn't know he's going to do that.
In other words, people are crying about twenty five percent
everything's gonna cost. No, everything's not going to cost twenty

(18:44):
five percent more. If you're getting a nuclear reactor from Canada,
it might cost twenty five percent more.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
But like the ketchup and mac and cheese, without all
the chemicals that we have here, we can still get that.
That's not going to cost twenty five.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Well, RFK Chapman Junior. I look over the rest of
the list. I don't see any of your chemical food
on here. Plastics, aluminum or we don't want that stuff anyway. Yeah, plastics, aluminum,
electrical machinery. I don't know what that is. Precious stones.

(19:21):
I got two of those. Wood, gonna not gonna sayd
iron and steel and aircrafts. All right, So Trump says
twenty five percent more. He doesn't want twenty five percent tariff.

(19:42):
He wants something else. And Canada and Mexico and China
with the ten percent threat have until midnight today to
get that done. So we'll see, we'll see what ends
up happening. Fox News Update.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
Next, Scott bodies here, you're going.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Thanks again to Glenn for filling in for mo Still
last week. Well, I was away. I am Scott Vorhees,
I am here. Lucy Chapman here as well, and we're
glad to be with you on News Radio eleven to
ten kfab.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Why only most did I miss something.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Most of last week. I was here last Monday. Remember
we were on the radio together. Oh yeah, so I
wasn't gone the entire week. Yeah, that's right, couldn't possibly
take an entire week off.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Maybe that's why I thought you were gone.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Today, I'm here, I know.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
I see that.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
I'm here, and you and I get a chance to
spend a lot of time on the radio together because
next up this is a month of vacations. So I
was gone most of last week. Gary is gone. He's
here tomorrow and then gone the rest of the week
and all of next week. I see you and I

(20:52):
get a chance to talk on the radio for hours
and hours. I mean, Lucy, think of how exciting this
is going to be for you. Spend time on the
radio with me from five o'clock in the morning until
eleven o'clock in the morning, every single day for a
week and a half.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
I think you should set up now caters for every day.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
Next week, and then Gym's gone for a week or so.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
So I that's going to put it right at about
Saint Patrick's day.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yeah gone, Yeah, that's when that's when winter should start
setting in. Weird winter, I y it is, but it's
not that strange.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Well, we had a couple of just a couple of
days in December that it warmed up. Always have a
December thaw, had the January thaw which kind of spilled
into February.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
But you and I have talked about before that we
were growing up, it seemed like there was snow pretty
consistently from like Thanksgiving to March around here. I just all,
like all of my childhoods, I just was in here
outside with my friends, sledding, snowball fights and snow forts

(22:06):
and and and like every single winter. Then I think
about my kids. They're both teenagers, they're both high schoolers now.
They've only had a few times in their lives where
they've really been able to spend a lot of time
out playing in the snow and having fun. It's weird.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Do you think that's why it's becoming so expensive to
live in Nebraska? Because you know what they always say,
if it's if it's simplace you want to live because
of the weather, you can't afford it.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Right, No, I don't. I just think it's weird so
much so that when they announced yesterday at Gobbler's Knob,
what a great name for a town. So they pulled
that roadent out of his hole and said, all right,
come on out. It feels like I don't want to

(22:58):
come on out. Tell us whether or now you see
your shadow. So they got that. I know that that
honey badger or whatever it is they you know, hook
they hook him up with electrodes. They got them. They
got him tied down there, and then they hook him
up with electrodes and say all right, everyone's here and
it's time, and they shock him and he starts talking

(23:19):
like mister ed. And then he comes out of his
hole and everyone's like a hey, what's that film and
feels like, oh my tushy, you guy's been shocking me.
By the way, I don't know for a fact that
they do that, but I would not be surprised to learn.
So they come out or they have the thing. And
by the way, this is not a rant about how

(23:41):
stupid Groundhog's Day is. It is stupid, but it's not
a rant about it. I enjoy some organized stupidity from
time to time when it's there for the purpose of
being stupid. Like, no one thinks this is a legitimate event.
It's just fun. These guys dress up in their tails
and top hats, and they make this little, this bullfrog

(24:06):
covered hair come out of it. It's a dan.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Phil saw a shadow six more weeks of winter, and
I thought, first, six more weeks of winter in Omaha.
First we'd have to have six weeks of winter. We
haven't had six weeks of winter. We've had like a
week here or there. We haven't had six weeks of winter.

(24:32):
We've had maybe two. It's been weird. I don't know
what happened climate change. I suppose no one was talking
about climate change a year ago when we were buried
in snow and sub zero temperatures for three weeks.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
But well, I think part of the problem is Paksaitani
has lost some of his ability living so close to
the nuclear reactors underground. Yeah, wastewater and such.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Phil's eating all that, all that that junk food that
RFK Junior wants us to stop eating, maybe.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Toss the border.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yeah, he couldn't come out of his hole because he'd
gotten fat. I can't fit, I can't put my socks
on anymore. It just hurts.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Dude, you're so close to the border.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Dude, when you when you when you're getting winded, from
putting your socks on. That's a bad sign.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Who told.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Usually things I bring up on the radio or things
that I'm experiencing.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
In my life.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
I'm not going to admit that I did mention to
my wife last night. I said, you know, I'm not
there yet, but I noticed that it's getting more and
more difficult to put my socks on. Where were we
terriffs by bigger socks? Emails? Yeah, no, that that's not.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
That be as big as a pillow case.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
That's the same thing my wife said. She says, like
your feet or two. But it's like not, my has
nothing to do with my feet. I can't. It's harder,
harder to reach them.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
I'm just I'm just thinking about pellows, pellowcase size socks.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
I mean, my feet are I think, you know, bigger
than average. Don't worry, all right. So in the inbox,
Dave says, what about Bieber? We also import justin Bieber
from Canada. If I have to pay twenty five percent
more for Bieber, I'm gonna raise hell. That's from David

(26:39):
said to Scott at kfab dot com. Yeah, twenty five
percent more. We've already had like twenty five percent less
bare naked ladies from that Canadian band. So I don't
by the way, that math doesn't check out just twenty percent.

(27:00):
Now we're gonna pay twenty five percent more for bare
naked ladies when they're already twenty percent less than they
used to be. That math doesn't math twenty five percent more?
Anne Murray, is she still alive?

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Well, she might not be after this. She might not
be able to stand it.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Trump killed her.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Maybe what about Rush?

Speaker 1 (27:18):
What second, well, twenty five percent more Rush. That would
be the band, not the other.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Oh, we get twenty five percent more.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Twenty five percent more for Rush. You know, it's like
shrink flation.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Brian Adams won't care.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Oh, I'm gonna care. We get twenty five percent less
Brian Adams. Brian Adams part of that crop of musicians
that when he shows up at the Grammy, they're like, sir,
do you have your ticket? Like, Brian Adams, I don't
know why you're speaking with a slight Australian accent. You
sound like Billy Idol or something. I don't I know,

(27:53):
it's just this indistinguishable foreign accent. Brian Adams, I am
doesn't so And then they're like, yeah, do you have
a ticket? He's like, man, this cuts.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Like a knife, but it feels so right, so right, and.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
He tells his date because she's already in. He's like,
hang on, let me give my ticket and then I'll
run to you. This whole thing is reckless. It's the
name of the album from the I.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Grew up on Brian Adams and I'm blanking really hated him.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
You can't, you can't ping pong Brian Adams titles with me.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
They hated him.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Everything I do, I do it for Brian Adams, You're
killing me? Or I do it all for one and
all for love with Rod.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Stewart's thing, I'm Got Nothing.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
What was the song you do with Tina Turner? That
was a great song, did he Yeah, that was a
great song. We'll come back from the next break with it. Yeah.
Brian Adams is part of that crop of musicians who
when you go see them a concert, he says like,
here's a song from my new album, people are like nope,

(29:15):
and they go get a drink or use the bathroom
or whatever.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
That might be why he's so angry. He's very angry.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Didn't you go see Brian Adams when he was here.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
I don't think he made it.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah he did.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
He was scheduled.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
No, he was.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
This is like ten years ago. He did an acoustics
show at the Holland or the Orpheum. I forget, but
it was a great show. I remember how great the
show was. I don't remember where it was. I think
it was the Holland. All right, let's see you here.

(29:48):
I'm looking in Marco. Rubio has been sent to Mexico
to lead trade talks before tonight's deadline of twenty five
percent tariffs on everything imported from Mexico. Rubio is just
down in Panama talking to the president of Panama. And
this is the other thing. Trump's like, yeah, we're gonna

(30:09):
take the Panama Canal back. Panama's like, you can't take
the canal back, Like yeah, I think we can. We
paid for it, and we've continued to pay for it.
Did we keep the receipt, Yeah, we still got a receipt.
Panama is like, no, the thirty day return policy. You're
outside the window, Like this isn't best buy. We can

(30:34):
there's never ending, Like all right, so Panama, let's talk
about this in reality. Let's just face the facts. Here.
You say, you're not going to give us back control
of the Panama Canal. Yeah, let's take a look at
what you have for an army right now? You want
to do this? Do you really want to do this?
I mean, are we going to go to war over

(30:56):
taking control of the Panama Canal? I don't know. You
want to find out? I mean, what a what a
horrible thing to do. But that's the thing about I mean,
not to bully people, but if Panama, who got this

(31:17):
sweet deal from America? We paid for the canal, We
built the canal, paid for it, and we sold it
to him for President Carter sold it to him for
like a buck. You can't even get a mountain dew
out of a vending machine for a dollar anymore. We
sold it to him for a dollar. And then they
turn around and charge us like a half a million
dollars or more to send a ship through there. Hey,

(31:40):
thanks for nothing. And and China is basically controlling the
Panama Canal. And so President Trump said, all right, we're
taking him back to the canal. Same thing with the
tariff thing. He doesn't want to maybe take back the canal.

(32:02):
He wants to negotiate a better deal. For our trade
through there and clamp down more on China. And what
do you know, we have some breaking news. As I said,
Trump doesn't want a twenty five percent tariff on Mexico.
If he did, it would have been imposed two weeks
ago or two days ago or now. Instead, he said,

(32:26):
all right, you got till tomorrow. Mexico is apparently playing
some ball, as President Trump just announced a one month
pause on the tariffs against Mexico. That breaking news just
here into the eleven to ten kfab studios. Now, how

(32:47):
did that happen? Trump said, all right, here's what's coming
at you. Mexico goes, no, wait, no, wait, no, whoa, whoa,
let's just take a step back. Nope, you know what
I want, and if you don't give it, give it
to me twenty five percent. Mexico's like, you're not really
gonna all right it just it just became thirty five percent.

(33:09):
I can do this whole day. So Mexico's like, all right, fine,
I don't know what they're doing. We don't have the details,
but we just heard that Trump just gave Mexico thirty days. Well,
he gave him one month. It could be a February
month twenty eight days, but he gave him a month.

(33:30):
Sounds like Mexico's like all right, all right, let's let's
figure this out. Which is all Trump wants? To begin with.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
Scott Byes News Radio eleven ten k fad.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
If this Trump tariff ends up going into effect, twenty
five percent for our next Brian Adams album, twenty five
percent more for our next lover Boy album.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
But it'll come straight from the heart.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
So now you want, now that you've than, now that
you printed up the Brian Adams discography, now you want
to play Brian Adams Ping Pong?

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Fine?

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Uh? Who else can't Rush? Lover Boy, Anne Murray bar
Naked Ladies?

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Oh see, you got your own little list there.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Bieber No, I'm just I'm looking here, Bob and Doug McKenzie,
and then John says Canada. I'm looking at the email.
John says, Canada hasn't won the Stanley Cup since nineteen
ninety three. I don't think they'll fare too well in
this battle either. You mad that, There's no way that's true, right.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Maybe they're just mad? Then?

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Is there anyway is that true?

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Can't you're asking me about sports?

Speaker 1 (34:47):
I thought Edmonton just want it a few years. I don't.
I barely pay any attention to hockey. All right, here's
what we got Fox and KFAB news updates. Next. Trump
has already told Canada or told Mexico, all right, you
get a month reprieve from my tariff Canada. Are you listening, China?

(35:08):
Are you listening? This is News Radio eleven ten, KFAB
and the Zonker's Custom Woods inbox at John's right. The
last time a team from Canada won the Stanley Cup
was nineteen ninety three, the Montreal Canadians. Wow, I didn't
know that.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Well, how long has Jared Obin in power?

Speaker 4 (35:31):
There?

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Not since nineteen ninety three?

Speaker 2 (35:36):
I thought he was leaving anyway, didn't he resign or something?

Speaker 1 (35:39):
Yeah, but it wasn't effective immediately. Oh so I don't
know what he's doing. And let me check. I don't care.
We were trying to figure out if Trump does in
which he just agreed to a one month pause on
the Mexico tariffs, as Mexico is apparently willing to negotiate.
Canada has yet to uh make a move as far

(36:03):
as we know. But we say, if Trump imposes these tariffs,
twenty five percent more on nuclear reactors because Canada imports
a lot of nuclear reactors to America. You know, it
can't practically swing a cat without hitting a nuclear reactor
in this country. And twenty five percent more on nuclear reactors.
That's gonna sting. You're not gonna feel it because of

(36:25):
you know, the radiation.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
But does it come with the plutonium at least?

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Yeah, well, the plutonium of course we get from Hillary
the Libyans. There's your eighties movie reference for this segment
of the radio program. Do you want to take a
shot at that movie reference?

Speaker 2 (36:45):
Spies like us.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
An excellent guess, but no back to the future. Oh
the Libyans they found me. I don't know how. Run
for it, Marty. So we are also saying if Trump
does this, twenty five percent more on your next Brian
Adams album or Anne Murray or Bare Naked Ladies. And
then we got people emailing me with all the Canadian bands.

(37:10):
Thomas says, you forgot the guests who Bachman Turner Overdrive
and the Young Bloods didn't forget about him. Don't think
that they put out new albums anymore. Haven't seen that
new song from the Young Bloods. And quite some time
Charles says, also Chili Whack, one hit wonder band from

(37:30):
the eighties, had a song with my Girl.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Oh, I thought he was talking about the food that
doesn't have as many chemicals.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
No, Chili Whack, not Chili Mac. That's a great, great
name for a band, not a great song, my girl.
And then not like I Got Sunshine, not that, Oh
my Girl, a different song. And he says there's also
the Arrogant Worms, oh and the and the Frantics. Charles
apparently a fellow fan of Doctor Demento. I'm familiar with

(38:00):
the frantics. They are they are very important in my
family as especially my daughter and I love Boot to
the Head.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
So wouldn't that be twoke.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Two?

Speaker 3 (38:15):
What?

Speaker 2 (38:15):
Well, that's a hat.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
That's a hat. But all right, you wanted to do
stea traffic? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes yes yes. Starting
today you will not be able to get downtown over
the Harney Street bridge over for eighty That did they
implode the bridge? What's going on?

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Well, I don't think that they have done that yet,
but it will be completely redone so it's going to
be closed until December. So the bridge over for eighty
on Harney is now closed. I just got confirmation that
in fact did close at nine o'clock. And you can
always use the Farnham Bridge eleven Worth Douglas.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
But what or or I don't know, if you ever
go downtown no, no, or if you I don't know
if you ever watch dukes a hazard. But if the
bridge is out, all you got to do is just
punch it and just pull the steering wheel and lean back.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
Well, it depends on you're coming from.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
It makes the vehicle, unless you're driving an old cop
car that will not make it. But if you're driving
a sweet car, all you got to do is just
lean back and the car. The disbursement of the weight
allows the vehicle to jump off a ramp that's not
there and clear whatever span you're looking to clear.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
That sounds like a good plan, Scott. Let us know
when you're doing that.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
We'll come watch it helps if you can also go,
I don't.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
Think that's allowed while I've got you.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
Don't worry the construction crews will get out of your way.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
While I've got you.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
That happens.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Yes, let you know. There is a crash on a
dodge at one hundred and eighth, so that is what
is causing you to be in a very long line
on that curve from six's eighty or sixties that's from northbound,
or just coming from Maple on sixties southbound to exit
onto Dodge westbund you get a crash just past that

(40:04):
lower Yeah, no, the crash is on upper Dodge. Oh,
but it's just right past that that merge from six
point eighty onto Dodge. You can if you're on Dodge
westbound already, you can stay on lower Dodge and pick
up the expressway from one hundred and twentieth. But coming
from Dodge, it doesn't look like it's too long of
a wait. It's just that usual line.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Or when you come up on that traffic, I don't
know how many cars you have to jump, but just
paddle to the metal and lean back.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Honk.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
Though I'm teaching my fifteen year old how to drive,
we haven't gotten to how to jump a pond yet,
but we will just lean back. So up you didn't
lean back. Now we're in the pond.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
That would make a great rap song.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
We're in the pond in the vehicle next to Roscoe
Pea coletran. Those cop cars could never jump those bridges
and dukes of hazard. Now. We thought when they first
announced this that they were doing the construction on the
Harney Street Bridge over four eighty, because for most people

(41:11):
in this town, you can still get where you're going
without having any impact of Oh no, I can't use
the Harney Street Bridge over four eighty. How am I
gonna How am I gonna live? How am I gonna
get anywhere? I might as well just stay home. But
what we thought was as they were doing all the
bridge repair, that traffic wouldn't be able to get under

(41:35):
the bridge repair on four eighty. But they're saying you
can't expect closures on four eighty during construction, but it's
not gonna be constant. Four eighty. Both directions under the
Harney Street Bridge is not going to be closed from
now until December. I don't know how they're doing it.

(41:58):
I don't know what magic there work. I don't know
if they're gonna just like direct traffic up and over
and around on those times there will be sometimes it's closed.
I don't know. I guess you have to take They'll
have signs. It's gonna be a mess. But I think
that they're doing a lot of those four eighty closures
like weekends and overnights throughout the years. It's not going

(42:21):
to be constantly closed. I don't know how they're able
to pull that off. How do you take a bridge
down when and put a new bridge up when there's
cars going underneath?

Speaker 2 (42:31):
Well, they did it on seventy five over at Lake
and at Bristal and Hamilton bridges. I don't think that
that closed underneath.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
How what do they do they built? They just build
the bridge someplace else and bring it in by helicopter
and just drop it in like here you go, there's
a new bridge.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
Well, I think they closed some lanes obviously at times,
can't they I don't think they ever closed it.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Why can't they get just use a bridge layer. I
watched G I Joe when I was a kid, you know.
G I. Joe's like, Oh, no, cobras on the other
side of this this chasm. How are we gonna get
over there and deal with them and never once actually
shoot and kill any of them? How are we gonna
do this? And they're like, oh, we got to call
on the bridge layer who always happened to be just

(43:21):
down the road like he's getting a sandwich or something like, oh,
you need a bridge hang on and he just drives
up and it just unfolds this bridge oh, in which
perfect dimensions for whatever it is that they were looking
to to span. And then they all, hey, hey, thanks,
bridge layer and he's like, hey, no problem, and he's
smoking and you know, he's hanging out and he never

(43:44):
actually sees any action and then all g I Joe
goes over this. So they made that toy available when
we were kids, the bridge layer, Yoe, Joe. Oh, no,
Cobra's on the other side of this, this crevasse. How
are we gonna deal with it?

Speaker 4 (44:00):
All?

Speaker 1 (44:00):
The bridge layer. And then the bridge layer comes in
there and this bridge folds over the top of it
and it perfectly like these kids are playing in there
in like this awesome like forested area with rocks and
a creek and everything. There's water going underneath, and like
the bridge layer, the bridge is the perfect dimensions for this.
And then you can roll your little jeeps and tanks

(44:20):
and stuff over it, and you're like, this is awesome.
I gotta have a bridge layer. I was like, Mom, please,
they need a bridge layer. And so for Christmas, I
got a bridge layer and I went outside and I
realized there was not a single creek, creek, there's nothing there.
There was no chasm, Like, Dad, could I dig a
trench in the yard? So I dig a trench in
the yard, but the bridge like, no, you can't dig

(44:42):
a trench in the yard. And looking all over the
place going, they're not a single place to put this
stupid bridge. I got a bridge layer. It's gonna go
over nothing. What a ripoff?

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Well, you mentioned that there will be signs, yeah, to
alert you whether you can go straight or you have
to get off of the interstate, or you can't use
the bridge. Signs signs man everywhere. Five minut electrical band
was gonna be here to do it, but they're stuck
in Canada.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
Is that a Canadian band is due? Are you sure
Tesla's not a Canadian band?

Speaker 2 (45:20):
Who?

Speaker 1 (45:20):
Tesla? That remade Signs in the nineties.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
I don't care. That's such a stupid song. I've told
you right about all my problems with the song. Signs
All right, here's the biggest one. I'll condense this the
whole part in there not to mention all the trespassing.
You know, sign says like no trespassing. So I jumped
over the fence, like, what are you gonna do? I

(45:45):
hope that guy gets mauled by dogs or like steps
in the land mine. There's probably a pretty good reason
why there's a sign up that says no trespassing, you hippie.
But the whole riff and that song about the sign
says long haired freaky people need not apply. First of all, no,
it doesn't. No one put that sign up.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
Second they could.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
Secondly, all right, so let's let's say they did. Let's
say someone is hiring for a job and he doesn't
want long haired freaky people. So this long haired freaky
guy tucks his hair up under his hat and he
goes in and applies for a job. And the guy's like, well,
I think you're an outstanding young man. The job is yours.
So I took off my hat and said, imagine that

(46:27):
huh me working for you.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
You want a job.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
Look, a guy that doesn't want a long haired freaky
person for his job is not going to accept someone
that goes in wearing a hat for a job interview.
He's just not no, especially so stupid. Oh and you
know a guy coming in here wearing a hat for
a job interview in nineteen sixty. Whatever, Well, they think

(46:51):
you seem like a fine upstanding young man bowl stupidest
song ever, stupidest song ever, catchy but dumb. So they're
closing the Harney Bridge over four to eighty and apparently
fourty is not going to be closed all year, which
is very smart. With city elections coming up here this spring,

(47:12):
you don't want to have a main thoroughfare around downtown
closed all year. That's a sure way to not get
re elected. So I don't know how they're going to
do it, but I know why they're doing it. You
know why they're doing all this, right, Yeah, streetcar.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
The current in the tracks right, the.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
Current Harney Street bridge. No, they don't put in the tracks.
You can just put the tracks on the bridge. They
said the current bridge is not strong enough to handle
the weight of the street car. And I'm like, that
streetcar seems like it's the weight of like six cars
which you can have on the bridge at one time.
Is that bridge going to fall down? They said, the

(47:53):
bridge currently is not strong enough to handle the weight
of the upcoming streetcar. When I was gone last week,
one of the communities I spent a little time in
was Oklahoma City saw their streetcar. No one was on it.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
What Oh is that even possible that people would not
flock to use these?

Speaker 1 (48:14):
No one was on it, just kind of driving it,
just zipping around. And yeah, downtown Oklahoma City, no one
was on the street car.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
It's because they didn't have brand new giant buildings for
office space. That's why there's nobody on them.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
Plenty of buildings, plenty of activity. You can go over
here from Bricktown to downtown and there was some basketball
game playing. It wasn't the Thunder, but some other game
was playing. And there was a band playing over here
at this blues bar. And Bricktown's a pretty swinging, cool
happening place. And here's the street car going around going
all right, anyone the streetcar people were like, I'm good,
nice park over here and walk. No one was on

(48:54):
the street car.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Maybe it didn't go far enough so because it didn't
help anybody.

Speaker 1 (48:57):
Yeah, because I saw that streetcar twice with no riders,
I'm once again saying it's a terrible idea for Omaha.
After all, I saw a street car for a couple
of seconds once in Oklahoma City. But I have been
like I said, in other communities where they said, hey,
I wouldn't recommend getting on that street car at night.
That's what I was told in Dallas a few times.

(49:19):
I haven't really seen anyone on the Kansas City street.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Car either, not Minneapolis either.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
Hey, whatever, we're gonna get a streetcar. But that's the
reason why they're closing the Harney Street Bridge over four
eighty new bridge that can support the streetcar. Is anyone
else gonna support the streetcar? Well, see the Harney Street
Bridge is I don't know, but just expect that there

(49:46):
will be, especially if you're going over weekends overnights, that
there'll be some closures on four eighty. Just don't close it, Like,
all right, it's a Friday night after ten pm, let's
close four eighty.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
I don't believe there are any plans for that.

Speaker 1 (50:02):
I wouldn't do that.

Speaker 3 (50:04):
No.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
Have you ever come back from a concert or a
ballgame or something downtown and then you get on four
to eighty to go back towards West Omaha and they're like, oh,
we close the interstate. You know, it's late on a weekend.
Didn't think anyone and everyone's just stuck, like, I guess
we'll all get off on Martha, and Martha is like,
not all of you. What. At a time, Trump told

(50:26):
Mexico and Canada twenty five percent tariff on all your imports,
and Mexico said, well, hold on a second, let's talk,
And so all right, fine, Mexico gets a month before
we impose these tariffs. Canada, what say you right now?
No word from Canada, but we're saying that the next
time you buy an album from a Canadian rock singer

(50:47):
or band, it's going to cost twenty five percent more.
And people are populating the Zonker's custom was inbox at
scottikfab dot com with Canadian artists. Several of you reminded
me about Nickelback. This is how you remind me of
Nickelback being a Canadian band. Thank you for that. Christopher says,

(51:11):
Glass Tiger, don't forget me when I'm gone. I'm like, Christopher,
where you go? Oh yeah, that's the name of their
song again that featured Brian Adams as well. And then
regarding G I Joe, I got into a little side
tangent about the bridge layer from G I Joe. They're
closing the Harney Street bridge over four eighty for the
rest of the year. It's only going to mildly impact

(51:34):
four eighty traffic, which is good. But Curtis says the
three most amazing amazing things about G I Joe cartoons.
Number one machine guns that shot lasers. I remember that
they shot lasers. There was a interesting you know, like
a flash that came from them too. Not a single

(51:57):
fatality was recorded in the War with Cobra. One of
the greatest episodes of Community of all time was the
G I. Joe episode where the casts of Community were
all in a GI Joe cartoon and Joel McHale starts
shooting out Destro's parachute to send him falling to the
ground to kill him, and all the Gi Joe's are like,

(52:20):
what are you doing? He's like, what are you doing?
All we do is follow these guys all over the globe.
We never single we never kill a single one of them.
So funny, and Curtis says Number three the evil, naughty
librarian in a black cat suit. That kind of made
your root for the bad guys. You know who I mean, Yes, Curtis,

(52:41):
I do remember Baroness.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
Now this was a kid's little like a Little Boys toys.

Speaker 1 (52:47):
Yeah, but as a kid. I didn't think of it
like I'm currently thinking of it now. Okay, partly because
my sexual awakening didn't happen until what time is it
till Curtis made me think about Baroness from the G I.
Joe series. Oh yeah, yeah, and it's passed all right.

(53:13):
That was we were all just here to experience bisexual awakening.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
It's greety. I'm glad I wasn't paying attention.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
It was fun and creepy. Twenty five percent more for
kids in the hall. Another great Canadian import. We hadn't
even talked about. All the actors, actresses, comedian, mostly comedians
from Second City. Uh yeah, the well I did that,

(53:39):
the original. Yeah, sc TV troop Man, the original. Those
sctvs were absolutely incredible and it kind of broke off.
Some of them became Saturday Night Live, the original not
ready for primetime. Players I can't believe were on fifty
years of SNL.

Speaker 2 (54:00):
And they said it wouldn't last.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
I know well, and it almost didn't. The Peacock streaming
service has got a series now of little one ish
hour episodes about very specific parts of SNL, and there's
one about what they call the Weird Year This was
nineteen eighty five and six, I think was that season

(54:24):
where Lauren Michaels had left the show, Dick Eversow had
taken it over. They had the one really good year
where they paid a bunch of money to guys like
Billy Crystal and Martin Short and some of these Christopher guests,
these really established entertainers, and then they said, all right,
we're going back to the basics and they bring in
like some actors like Robert Downey Junior and Anthony Michael

(54:46):
Hall were on that cast, and it just really didn't gel.
There was like John Lovett's and Nora Dunn survived into
what would become a resurgence of SNL after that, as
they a added Dana Carvey and Kevin Neeland and Dennis
Miller and all the rest of those guys. But just
that one episode about the Weird Year was really really interesting.

(55:10):
I'm enjoying that.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
I would think that, uh, Robert Donney Jr. In nineteen
eighty five was still deep in his issues.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
He either was deep in or was still young enough
where he could deal with it and still have a life.
You know, there's there's that guy who likes to drink
and party a little bit, and at twenty five you
can you can battle, you know, you can, you can rally,
you can make it to work. And people are like,

(55:39):
he's a fun guy. When you're still doing that at
thirty five and forty five, you've got a problem. Yeah,
you can't wait.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
Wait what if you start at thirty five so you're
not still doing it?

Speaker 1 (55:50):
I don't know, doesn't make you younger, because I'm willing
to learn. Harold ramis one of those original Canadians we
just talked about. And it comes full circle. So we
just heard speaking of Canada as Toomp has said twenty
five percent tariff on Canadian imports. The Premier of Ontario,

(56:10):
Doug Ford, has said that the tariff threat coming from
Trump is quote like being stabbed in the heart by
a family member. Now I don't know if you've ever
been stabbed in the heart by a family member. I

(56:34):
presume he means literally, if you're given the opportunity today
a choice. I don't know through what crazy, bizarre set
of circumstances this is going to happen. But let's say
you come to a fork in the road today, someone
provides you with two roads. One of those roads is

(56:56):
a twenty five percent tariff on everything that you create
an import to someone. It's gonna cost you an extra
twenty five percent. I'm not saying that's going to be
easy for you. It certainly isn't. But that's one of
the opportunities provided for you, twenty five percent tariff. And
the other road is your grandma standing there ready to

(57:18):
stab you in the heart, or any family member. This
is the opportunity afforded you. I don't know how many
of us would look at these two choices and go
I can't decide. I mean, it's basically the same decision, right,
A twenty five percent tariff or my uncle Jim stabbing

(57:39):
me in the heart. Same thing. It's six to one
a half dozen of the other. Right. So when the
Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, says Trump's twenty five percent
tariff threat is like a family member stabbing you right
in the heart, it's it's not. But I guess that

(58:04):
he's saying that. I mean, I don't know that I'd
even spend any time on this if he said it
felt like we're being stabbed in the back. You're not
being stabbed in the back. I guess in that approach,
you are being stabbed in the heart because Trump told
you this is coming. He didn't sneak up on you
and go yeah, so he knew. I mean, we all

(58:26):
knew this was coming, and we all know it doesn't
have to come to this wall. Look at what Mexico
has done today. Mexico has already said all right, hang on,
what do you want? And Trump said, for one, I
want you to get serious at the border. We just
learned in that Fox News update a few minutes ago,
Mexico is sending ten thousand Mexican troops to our border,

(58:47):
not to invade, but to help protect America's border from
the criminal element and all the drugs that are coming
across our border. That's what Trump wants. He doesn't want
a twey tariff on Mexican coke and tortillas and tequila
and all the rest of this stuff. He wants them
to get serious about our border, and he wants Canada

(59:10):
to do the same thing. It doesn't have to be hard,
but it's still has got this story here, this from
k e TV News Watch seven. They're talking to business
owners in South Omaha and one of the voices here
is a guy with Omaha's Latino Economic Development Council, a

(59:33):
great dude named Marcos Mora. I've talked to Marcos a
couple times over the years because when they have the
big Sinco de Mayo festival and other community festivals in
southeast Omaha, Marcos is right there, great champion for that
wonderful community here in our town. And I like Marcos
very much, so I don't know that he came up

(59:55):
with this phrase. I don't know if he misspoke or
if he's just the product of everyone saying this, so
therefore it must be true. But Marcos is talking about
tariffs against Mexico and America's immigration policy, and he said
to k ETV News watch seven, and I quote, I

(01:00:19):
can't see how this whole thing, the sentiment of immigrants
are bad for the economy, bad for the US. It
looks like a really good thing for our economic drive.
He's talking about how immigrants and immigration is great for
our community. And there's a sentiment here that immigrants are
bad for the economy and bad for the US. All right,

(01:00:43):
No one has said that, No legitimate voice has ever said,
and we don't want any more immigrants. And if anyone's
in this country as an immigrant, you can either see
yourself out or we'll see you out. In fact that
it goes through those of you if you don't have
at least three generations of your family that are Americans

(01:01:06):
and get out. No one has said there is no
sentiment of immigrants are bad for the United States. No
one has said that. But Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE
they're rounded people up, and yet yes they're they're rounding

(01:01:26):
up criminals, They're rounding up people on terrorist watch lists.
They're rounding up gang members, murderers, people who are in
our prisons, are wanted for crimes in our country, and
they are removing them from our community, which is people
who are fifth generation Americans. You've got Native Americans going,

(01:01:49):
don't forget about us. We've been here a while, and
we got people that just showed up legally last Tuesday.
And do you know what the number one thing those
people that just showed up legally last whose days say
all those criminals we got away from and our home nations,
don't let them in here. We don't want America to

(01:02:09):
look like the country we just fled. These people, don't
I shouldn't say these people I'm talking about people racial demographics. Right,
that sounds ben these people. Sorry, it's a rush Limbaugh thing.
Are you people? You can't say you people? Who you
calling you? People? Who you calling you people? There's your
tropic thunder reference. Dang. Anyway, these voices that want to

(01:02:34):
continue to say that there's a sentiment in America that
says immigration's bad. Immigration isn't bad. No one feels that way.
But there's a reason why Trump got more of the
Latino vote than any Republican for national office in our lifetimes.

(01:02:56):
I think it certainly has been a very long long time.
And oh, how in the world could that be. He's
racist against Hispanic people. No, he's saying what they believe,
and that is the bad guys, those bad ombres that
you fled from to come here. Now, we want you
to come here legally, but the bad ombres that you

(01:03:19):
fled to come here, that situation, it was full of
squalor and crime and regional drug lords, human trafficking. We've
got to shut that down. We can't have it here
in the community because it impacts all of us. And
they're like, absolutely, So you can keep saying, well, there's

(01:03:40):
a sentiment in our country that says immigrants are bad
for America. You can say that, but no one believes that.
Did you know yesterday was this was supposed to be
a day without immigrants. Yesterday was Yesterday was supposed to
be day where immigrants like didn't show up for work?

(01:04:04):
Do you do anything yesterday? Was your life impacted it
all yesterday? Did anyone actually participate in this or did
they say, look, you go protest in your own time.
I've got to go to work. People depend on me
and I need the paycheck. Did anyone have a problem yesterday, like, yeah,
I tried to go do something. Everything was closed. Boy,

(01:04:28):
the impact of those immigrants, No one did this. That
it's falling apart, this whole narrative that if we disagree politically,
then your size is just racist and misogynistic and all
the rest of the stuff. It's old, it's tired, it's
not rooted in reality. Every time you say it, you

(01:04:49):
lose more and more people. So every time they say
it's like being stabbed in the heart by a family member,
well that's apparently what you remember. You know, Doug Ford's
family member, right, Doug Ford, the mayor of some mayor,

(01:05:11):
Doug Ford's brother was the mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford,
who spent equal time being mayor and doing mountains of
cocaine or whatever he was doing. Crack. Rob Ford used
to get a bunch of crack at him and say, hey,
you know what we need street cars. Man's like that

(01:05:35):
guy's high lucy. It's amazing sometimes the things that I
flap my big fat mouth about, Actually, you we something
that I have been calling attention to and ranting about
has actually now shown that we're moving in the right direction.

(01:05:56):
How many times in the past year have I said
Douglas County the board forced the Douglas County Board of
Corrections to end their contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement,
as several cities and counties did in the first year
of the Biden administration. Amazingly, they all sent the same
letter to ICE saying, we're not going to be detaining

(01:06:19):
people even if they're gang members, on terrorist watch list,
we arrest them for jaywalking. We're not. And you say, oh,
we want that guy detain them. Hey, not my job.
We're not going to do that for ICE anymore. And
I said, that's why Omaha ends up on a sanctuary
city list because of the actions of Douglas County. You've
heard me say all this right, Well, guess who now

(01:06:40):
is singing a different tune?

Speaker 2 (01:06:41):
Who is it?

Speaker 1 (01:06:42):
Same people that sent that letter to ICE a few
years ago are now saying, hey, we don't want this
to be a political topic. Well we'll work with ICE.
We'll work with ICE to detain people in local jails
who are arrested on the cases, and Immigration says hold
that guy for us. Wow, I'm glad to see they've
come to their senses.
