Thoughts on Mayoral Race and Having 7 Kids

And Elon trying not to get shot, Apple's announcement yesterday, and more.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vorhees.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Good morning, I'm Scott Vorhees. There's Lucy Chapman. This is
Nebraska's news, weather and traffic station. We are News Radio
eleven to ten KFAB. A week from Tuesday is the
city election here in Omaha. You got various council members
looking to be re elected or potentially in the case

(00:25):
of District too, you've got an open seat there since
the incumbent didn't make it on to the city election.
But the big news in Omaha is mayor of Omaha.
We this past Tuesday hosted Mayor Stothard and Douglas County
Treasurer John Ewing. Stothard, in an official, nonpartisan city race,

(00:46):
is Republican. Ewing is Democrat and a brand new Republican
made his decision this week as to which candidate he's
supporting in the race for mayor. That Republican Mike McDonald.
Mike McDonald former fire captain, fire chief, a former head

(01:09):
of the firefighters union who then became a state senator
as a more liberal leaning Democrat. But he does believe
he has a pro life position. Also, he has this
crazy idea that people who commit crimes should be locked up.
Democrats didn't like some of that stuff. So he says,

(01:29):
all right, fine, tell me what I can or can't believe.
I guess there's no room for me in this party.
I've got to be a Republican. And a bunch of
Republicans said, yay, we got one, you know, like Janine
and Ghostbusters. We got one. And then you hit the
fire alarm button and everyone goes running and it's very exciting.
And I said, alright, hold on, let's before we start

(01:54):
having a ticker tape parade, let's see what we got here.
I think it's fine if someone just says, look, I
tend to be more liberal on these things, and I
tend to be more conservative on these things. That's kind
of how most people are, though they don't exactly admit

(02:17):
it out loud anymore. You can't have someone who says, well,
I believe in this that tends to be a more
Democrat ideal. And I believe in this, but you know
what what's going on with our southern border, and I
don't know if I want gang members living here. Suddenly
it's like, oh, I guess you're all trumpy, aren't you. Well,

(02:38):
you just go serving the Trump administration. You mega Nazi like,
there's no room for nuance on any of this stuff.
But it is funny to me that as soon as
making his switch to be a Republican, they went running
over to Mike McDonald in the legislature. Hey, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike.

(03:01):
Wasn't there a commercial? Hey Mike, Mike, Mike. Guess what
day it is? Mike? Oh, yeah, guess what day it is.
It's hump Day, hump dy. That was the caml in
the office. Hey Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
I don't know what the commercial was for though.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Geico or Progressive. They're the ones who have the funny commercials.
I don't know which one it was. But they ran
over to Mike and say, Mike, we've got this way
that Nebraska is unlike every other state except Maine, and
how we uh apportion out our electoral college votes. And
since you're a new Republican where you got a bill

(03:38):
here where we want to give all of the electoral
college votes from Nebraska. That's right, all five of them,
to whoever wins the popular vote in the state. This
would benefit the Republican and not give that blue dot
second district one vote to a Democrat, which you know
every four years that one vote in Nebraska second district

(03:59):
could tip the power of the election and hand the
election over to Democrat. So, hey, Mike, what do you say,
Let's do it? And Mike said, nah, I don't want
to do that. And they're like, but you're a Republican
and this would help Republicans. He's like, I don't. I
don't think we need to do this. So that was
one of the first things he did. And now he's
out of the legislature. He ran from mayor against the

(04:23):
longtime Republican mayor of Omaha, Jean Stothard, and then he
finished third, so he didn't make it to the general
election here a week from Tuesday on the thirteenth, and
so he came out and endorsed a candidate from mayor
and that candidate is the Democrat John Ewing. Now, on

(04:48):
one hand, I've got seven hands on one hand. Now,
on one hand, it would be I think disingenuous to
say I don't think Gene Stouther should be mayor anymore.
And I musa spend a bunch of money and time
and resources and go door to door, and I'm gonna
tell everyone why she shouldn't be mayor and I should

(05:11):
be mayor. It'd be disingenuous to say no, no, not her,
and then get beat and then come out and go
all right, I guess she's pretty good.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
But now what happens, That's typically what happens is whoever
loses endorses the party's candidate.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Mike McDonald is a Party of Mike McDonald. Well, so
he comes out and adorses John Ewing. Well, why would
John Ewing get the NADAS because McDonald spent more of
his adult life as a Democrat. John Ewing's a Democrat.
Has nothing to do with Republican or Democrat. This is
about union and union and union, and Mike McDonald is

(05:49):
a union guy. John Ewing is a former member of
the Omaha Police Department. That's union stuff. That's public labor unions,
and it's thought since he's also McDonnell is president of
the Omaha Federation of Labor. This is about what's best

(06:09):
for unions. Unions tend to vote more Democrat, but Trump
has been speaking more to that union worker and winning
more favor among blue collar union worker guys, and that

(06:30):
tends to favor more more than it used to the Republican.
But Gene Stothard isn't exactly real trumpy. Give her the
opportunity to say anything nice about President Trump, and she
struggles with that, and people mostly don't ask her and
she doesn't like answering it, So she's not exactly a
real trumpy Republican. Now. I know that there are those

(06:57):
who say, you know, you look at some of these
city is run by Democrats, and it's just pictures of
cities on fire. I think I saw one where there's
a mushroom cloud going over. I'm like, that's not even
so like, oh yeah, it's just gonna be it's gonna
be crime, it's gonna be lawlessness, everything's gonna be on fire.

(07:18):
If you buy a car, it probably be four and
a half hours before someone sets that car on fire.
First they're gonna they're gonna topple it over with you
in it, and then they're gonna set it on fire.
And that's how it all goes. And it just shoes
pictures of like Antifa wearing masks that say, all right,
this whole area of this downtown belongs to us now,

(07:41):
and the Democratic mayor of that city is like, Okay,
whatever you guys need, you know, whatever space you need
to destroy. I don't get the sense that John Ewing,
as a former member of law enforcement, is that guy.
I don't get the sense that the Democrats, who will
most likely continue to have a majority control of the

(08:05):
Omaha City Council, are thinking, yeah, let's just let the
city of Omaha burn. I don't get the sense that
that's going to happen with those leaders. Should the Democrat
win the mayor's race, should the Democrats continue to have

(08:25):
a majority of the city council. I mean, you look
at Lincoln, which has been staunch Democrat run, and it's
not like, oh yeah, Lincoln is just a go down
there and it's just lawlessness and Antifa and it's just offul.
I don't get the sense that we're going to do
that in Nebraska. But some of the actions from some

(08:46):
of the liberal leaning people in the Nebraska unicameral make
me wonder what is set up for the future of
Democratic leaning candidates even in these city elections. We'll also
kind of handicap here what McDonald's endorsement does in this

(09:07):
mayor's race that's coming up next.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Scott Vorhees News Radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Just a little chitty chat here about some local city politics.
Is looking at the landscape here. It's a week from Tuesday,
and I'm very curious how this mayor's race turns out
because you've got Mayor Stothart seeking a fourth term in office,

(09:35):
and she's been very popular, so much so that in
the last city election four years ago, and she ran
against the Democrat named R. J. Neary.

Speaker 5 (09:45):
R J.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Neary was a super good guy. I mean, he was
so nice. He actually called Mayor Stothart to concede the
race the night before the election. I mean that was
just super nice of him.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
It's not true, is it.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
No, but it's might as well have been. I mean,
it wasn't even close. But you've got people who say, well,
I don't know about this streetcar, and that's a potential
Stothart vote that stays home on election day. You've also
got a couple of Republican city council districts where the

(10:18):
Republicans there are actually running unopposed. In those districts, Brinker
Harding and Donroe have no competition, and I don't mean
like their candidate that is running against them is a
political weakling. I mean, there's no one who decided to
run against them. It's their name on the ballot and

(10:40):
that's it. So it's not like brinker Harding and Donroe
are out there hustling people like, oh, we got a
tough race here we got which would then be more
votes for Stothart presumably, and so they're not there. Then
you've got that staunch twenty percent of really really maga
trump'ss who say, if you're not one hundred percent trumpy,

(11:06):
you are a commie, you're a terrorist, you're an MS
thirteen gang member, you should be in an l. Salvador prison,
You pinko, nut job liberal progressive COMMI rat you know.
So you got twenty percent of the real Trumpet people
who have that feeling, and that's those are the people

(11:26):
that say, that's it. I'm not voting for deb Fisher,
I'm not voting for Don Bacon. Don Bacon should be primary.
And you got that really staunch twenty percent that really
truly believes it and it ends up not happening the
way that they want it. But can a candidate in

(11:47):
a tight race afford to lose twenty percent of that
real real trumpet vote. Can they afford Can I'll put
a real fine point on it. Can Mayor Jean Stouth
to Ford to lose the really, really trumpy Republican voters
who are not happy about the streetcar and don't believe

(12:08):
her when she says, no, there are no taxpayer dollars
going for the streetcar. And as I've said, the only
thing I can say about the streetcar that makes me
believe Jean's douth when she says this stuff is she's
running for reelection. Over the next four years, the streetcar
will be a reality, and she can stand there and say, see,

(12:30):
look at how great this is. Look at all the
business that popped up around it. Look at this headquarters,
look at this new business, look at all this new housing,
Look at what we did over here. It's all gonna
be great. And see you're riding it and you love it,
and people are like, ah, yeah, okay. You know, if
she didn't believe in the streetcar, she doesn't run for reelection.
If she was like, oh, this was a terrible idea,

(12:52):
then she would say, you know, I've had a good
run as mayor. It's time to turn over the reins
to some new blood in the city. She didn't do that.
I think saying she firmly believes in this, and that's
I think a point for the street car. But I
don't know. I'm not over here carrying streetcar pom poms

(13:14):
or anything like that. I'm just saying she firmly believes
in it.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
So I think she probably does too. But running doesn't
prove that because she could run and if she thought
that it wasn't going to work out, which again I
think she's one for this, and she could run again
and win and then say, well, we really, we really
thought it was going to work out, and I mean,
she would still be able to.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
She firmly she is a true believer in she truly believes.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
I'm simply saying running isn't the proof.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
But you got some people that say I don't like it.
These are also the same people as say we don't
need a downtown convention center. You know that, we don't
need an interstate, we don't need a railroad.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
I mean the same.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
It's it's you've always got that twenty percent or so
of people it's like I don't like it, and that's fine.
Sometimes I'm in that crew. That's how that's our right
as Americans to just be crabby about stuff. Way, what
are we doing over here? We're changing something I don't
like it. Do you want to hear about it?

Speaker 4 (14:19):
No?

Speaker 2 (14:22):
So, can Jean Stoutht lose those potential votes? Can Mike
McDonald as this new Republican with that new Republican smell,
come out there and endorse the Democrat in this race
in Omaha's mayoral race, which suggests to a lot of people,
myself included, he's not a Republican. He's a Mike McDonald.

(14:47):
He's pro life, not questioning that that's a point in
the conservative camp, but on pretty much everything else, he's
a labor union Democrat, and so he's voting for he's
putting the support for Ewing for mayor. Now will that
be balanced out by a former Democrat state senator who

(15:10):
ran against Gene Stothard. He's now in he's in the CEO,
he's in charge of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, and
the Omaha Chamber of Commerce with Heath Mellow as their president,
endorsed Gene Stothard in her reelection bid, which had Heath Mellow,
who a couple of election cycles ago ran against Stothard

(15:32):
from mayor of Omaha lost, but Heath Mellow has now
come out and said, Yep, we think Stother's doing a
great job and deserves to be re elected. So that's interesting.
You've got a Democrat endorsing the Republican, You've got the
alleged Republican McDonnell endorsing the Democrat, and there's an ad

(15:55):
running right now in favor of Stother's reelection that says, look,
John Ewing's a good guy, but he's wrong when it
comes to this, and his political leanings are wrong when
it comes to that, and it has to do with
public safety and all the rest of it. Now, Ewing's
got his own problems, you know. I just laid out
where Stothard I think has some problems with that Republican base.

(16:17):
Are Stothers problems bigger than Ewing's problems? What's the big
problem Ewing has? He's a former cop. I don't know
what percentage of Democratic voters don't like cops, but for
sake of throwing a number on it, I'll put that

(16:38):
at about the same twenty percent. I mean, the ones
who are really really strongly against law enforcement among potential
Democrat voters who will, under no circumstances like those real,
real Trumpet people say, if you don't line up with
me on everything, you're a COMI. It's about twenty percent
of conservative voters, so we'll call it twenty percent of

(17:00):
Democratic voters say if you are siding with police in
any way, shape or form, I will never vote for you.
So there's that same percentage of that base that's out.
But you've got the labor union people and you think, well,
the cops and the firefighters are going to vote for
you Ing, and maybe they will. But you've also got

(17:20):
Trump and Republicans currying more favor with labor unions, including
cops and firefighters. Why because Democratic leaders aren't standing up
for cops and Republican leaders are now, as I said,
and as this ad seems to suggest, like, hey, John

(17:42):
Ewing's a good guy, but what's that butt. The Nebraska
legislature yesterday had another contentious argument where some of the
Democratic leaders in the Nebraska unicameral we're calling white conservatives
racists because these conservatives say, if you commit serious crimes

(18:04):
at the age of twelve, you're old enough to know better,
and you should be made to pay for those crimes.
You shouldn't have a slap on the wrist at eleven
or twelve years old when you steal a car or
shoot a guy, you shouldn't have a slap on the
wrist like, hey, knock that off, you little scamp. So
we would lower the age at which a teen would

(18:26):
be charged as an adult for serious felonies from fourteen
to twelve. That did not pass in the unicameral. But
they lower the age at which a Nebraska youth can
be detained to eleven years old, from thirteen to eleven.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Detained where they're not going to go in charge them.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Right, most likely in a youth detention center. But you've
got Democrats saying youth shouldn't be detained anywhere. These detention
centers should basically be open doors. People can come and
go as they please, and we shouldn't be detaining people.
And you've got people like Terrell McKinney Ashley Spivey, two
members of the state Senate in Nebraska, who are arguing

(19:11):
that doing so is somehow racist. Ashley Spivey said that
there was one provision in the package that specifically demonize
black youth. And I'm looking at this going This has
nothing to do with race. This doesn't say anything about race.
It has to do with high risk juvenile probationers, those

(19:35):
who are viewed as they keep getting in trouble, they
cut off their ankle monitor, they get in more trouble,
they're running with crime syndicates in our community. And she says,
she says, oh, you're talking about black kids. And because
she's black and a Democrat, no one's going to call

(19:57):
that racist. Now if I come out here as a
translucent white honky and say, oh, we're talking about kids
that are committing crimes. We're talking about black kids, right,
that's racist. But when she says it, it's somehow apparently
not racist. And she said that anyone who's trying to

(20:19):
put a clamp down on some dangerous young criminal, why
would we have kids twelve thirteen years old committing these
crimes because the older kids know will recruit you know, Danny,
you know this little brother, this kid here in the neighborhood,
will recruit him to do this stuff. Nothing's going to
happen to him, and we'll have him do it. And

(20:43):
these kids are all more willing to go out and
commit worse and worse crimes. We've got some dangerous kids,
and we're not talking about a lot of them. We're
not talking about a kid swiping a pack of Skittles somewhere.
We're talking about armed carjackers. We're talking about murderers, which

(21:03):
has been happening with kids this young. But we don't
have the mechanism to allow the justice system to do
anything meaningful. All we're asking is the opportunity to do
something about it. And anyone who suggests that a twelve
year old it commits murder should be detained for it
is somehow racist. So I don't see if John Ewing,

(21:32):
the Democrat in the mayor's race, gets elected and the
city council remains a slight majority blue city council, I
don't see that these people. I look at John Ewing,
I look at Danny Begley, at Ron hug These are
not dangerous people. But don't mistake me when I tell

(21:53):
you there is a mindset undercurrent in this community that
once lawlessness, that's rooting for lawlessness. The question is how
much does Omaha continue to crack open that door. Fox
News Update next Scott Board yapping my big fat face off,

(22:17):
talking about how I think that Mayor Stothard is in
trouble with a percentage of that typically reliable Republican vote.
But I also see that John Ewing is in trouble
with about the same percentage of that typically reliable Democrat vote.

(22:39):
So what exactly what was my point with all of
that here for the first part of this program. Well,
to quote the great Grandpa Gustafson from Grumpy Old Men,
how the hell should I know? I just got here? No,
I think I think my point is this is going

(23:04):
to be a very close mayor's race, and it's an
important one. There are, as I said, You've got people,
You've got Democrats at the legislative level actively campaigning to

(23:24):
keep dangerous criminals out on the streets. You've got protests
and those are elected officials. You've got protesters, including yesterday
with some of what has decided we need to have
May Day protests across the country because we haven't had
a Trump protest in like a week and a half.
So you got to get out there. And I'll tell

(23:45):
you what the sign makers are really happy about that
we got to have a protest every single week where
the same people who hated Trump last week got to
come out this week with brand new signs and new shirts. Look, Diane,
I made a new shirt. And they come out there
with new signs and shirts and hats, and they say,
I know you saw me out here on the street

(24:05):
corner last week and I hated Trump last week. Well
I guess what, I really hate him this week. Look
at the sign. So we got to have that every
single flipping week around this country. Those individuals want dangerous criminal,
gang member, drug dealer, human traffickers to live in your

(24:30):
daughter's bedroom. All right, that might be a gross exaggeration,
but not much, not much so when people are like, hey,
you know what, I Ewing seems like a good guy,
and he is. He is. I'm not worried about John Ewing.

(24:52):
I'm not worried about Pete Festerson or these Democrats on
the city council. These some of their supporters, some of
the people who you know are going to go out
and vote. I'm worried about some of them. I'm worried
about what they want and what they're going to do
in our community. Now this isn't me saying, so make

(25:17):
sure you go out and vote for this person. I
don't do that. I don't look good in the cheerleader's outfit.
I don't tell people what to do or how to vote.
I will tell you this, whereas in previous elections I've said,
all right, fine, if you don't know what's going on,
then just stay home, don't vote. I'm giving you a
week and a half before Tuesday's election. That's plenty of
time to be an informed voter. Figure out how to

(25:40):
register to vote, figure out where you vote, and do
some research on what's important to you and make that
vote accordingly. Let's do this. Let's find out where Omaha
wants to set itself up for in the future. Man.
I was reminded this past week. I had a meeting
yesterday downtown at a business owner's place of business who

(26:05):
we started talking about where the police called him and said, hey,
I know you usually are in there working on the weekends.
There is a mob coming downtown. They had their protests
at seventy second in Dodge that got ugly, and now

(26:26):
they're heading downtown and your business is right there and
just giving you a heads up. If you're down there working,
you want to get out of there. And some of
the ugliest part of that protests from a few years
ago downtown Omaha was right outside this guy's business. He
had damage to his building, he had windows broken in,

(26:50):
And we were talking about that yesterday and my gosh,
I just was reminded yesterday how ugly that was.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
Night.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
That Saturday night was the worst of Omaha. And I'll
look at that, and I'll look at the people who
are out there championing the lawlessness, championing the vandalism, hating
on police officers, hating on their neighbors here in the

(27:23):
city of Omaha, who say, I don't know, I think
cops are good people. They tend to stop the crime
here in this town. I don't like crime, you know
where they think that you're a danger to our community
for supporting law enforcement. That Saturday night was the worst
of Omaha. But it wasn't Omaha, Omaha, the Omaha I

(27:45):
grew up in the omaham raising my kids in the
Omaha that I'm proud to emanate the broadcast this show
over every single morning, weekdays, nine to eleven sept Monday,
because I'm not going to be here but any other
time that Omaha. That wasn't that Saturday night. It was
Sunday morning, anyone else go downtown that Sunday morning after

(28:07):
what happened the night before I did. I went and
walked around for a couple of hours, helped out. There
were people out there with brooms, trash cans, cleaning up
broken glass, trying to wash off graffiti off of buildings,
give hugs to perfect strangers, and people are just walking
around and looking at each other like, can you believe this?

(28:28):
It's the same omaha you see in the wake of
a storm. That's omaha. How much of that omaha is
going to go out and vote on election day versus
how much of the omaha that says we think that
super predator criminals, whether they're in this country legally or
whether they grew up here and they go to seventh

(28:50):
grade and they're dangerous young people, and the schools aren't
doing anything about it, and the parents aren't doing anything
about it. We need someone to do something. How much
of that is going to vote? I mentioned that you
got a couple of Republican districts where those council candidates
are running unopposed. You just heard one of them in

(29:12):
a commercial. Brinker Harding's running a commercial. He's not even
he's going to be re elected if he just goes
out and votes for himself, and per chances are probably
pretty good that he will. He just ran a commercial
encouraging people to go out and vote, so they're certainly trying. Now.
You also heard an ad there for Amy Melton in

(29:32):
District seven Northwest Omaha. And Chris p aka Crispy has
been filling in for Emery Songer this week two to six.
This is his last day here today and then Emory's
back on Monday. And he's got Amy Milton's opponent in
the studio. And I told the producer, look, I don't

(29:53):
know this guy, Tim Carter, but he didn't impress me
a few weeks ago when he had a make phone
and was talking to a group of protesters at Memorial
Park with a bunch of kids there and drop an
F bombs. Not real impressive. So I told the producer,
I was like, you know where the dump button is, right,
That's the the big red button that says dump here

(30:16):
in the studio. And if someone says something that the
FCC would say and that's a fine for you, meaning
you can't cuss on the radio. You've got to you
gotta do that now. I would hope, and I would
presume that mister Carter is smart enough not to come
here on the radio and start dropping curse words. But

(30:39):
that performance a couple of weeks ago, Scott, what are
you talking about? Oh, let's listen in.

Speaker 5 (30:46):
If you want to progressive voice at city council, you
have to donate your money.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
We've got a mayor who.

Speaker 5 (30:52):
Refuses to commit to not using our police force to
arrest women and doctors for healthcare decisions.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
I think she's full of We have a mayor who
refuses to commit to not using police resources to arrest
women and doctors for personal health care decisions. She and
he says, I think she's full of shin Nola dropped
a curse word there, What in God's name are you

(31:20):
talking about? And he kept talking.

Speaker 5 (31:22):
Ice is already on our streets. LGB yeah boo, LGBTQAA.
Youth are being targeted, and our leaders want to turn
police into political weapons. But they're going to be putting
an impossible position, uses pawns instead of protectors.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (31:40):
Who out there remembers twenty twenty seventy second in dodge,
the rubber bullets, the tear gas, the peaceful protests that
were met with violence. I want you to say his
name with me, George Floyd and James Skurlock. Say his

(32:05):
name again, because we said it five years ago. Say
his name, James Skurlock, say it again.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
James Skurlock was the young man who got killed by
the bar owner who was defending his life as Skurlock
had him down in the street and was smashing his
head against the pavement. James Skurlock was one of those
who was seen on film vandalizing businesses, businesses that didn't

(32:35):
have anything to do with George Floyd, like a printing business.
Better go smash the windows and destroy that place. James
Skurlock was a criminal that night. He didn't deserve to die, certainly,
but someone in that interaction was about to lose his life.
As it turns out they both did. Jake Gardner later

(32:58):
was so overcome with what happened with ending this kid's life,
he ended his own life. And here we have people
here in the city of Omaha championing that criminal, James Skirlock.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
The system protected a white supremacist who killed that man.
Be the candidate we take back the power, and by
that I mean I'll chain myself to city Hall. If
I have to, I will sit and handcuffs and go
to jail with you. I will march with you. To
vote for Tim Carter is a vote for resistance Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Well, that's that's the guy. Yeah, yeah, he's very brave.
That's the That's the council candidate running in Omaha's District
seven Northwest Omaha, Amy Mountain, is running against him for
re election in that council district. That's the mindset. I
don't know. Maybe maybe he got whipped into a frenzy

(34:02):
and he's not usually like that. I'm very anxious to
hear as Crispy filling in for Emery this week has
had all the council candidates, and that includes the incumbents,
That includes those running to defeat those incumbents. He's had
them all on. Tim Carter got the votes. Tim Carter

(34:22):
gets the spot later today on KFAB. Can't wait to
hear that one. I think that's just after five o'clock.
Don't miss it.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Scott Voice News Radio eleven ten KFAB breaking news.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
We just got here. A celebrity has passed away. Lucy
and I feel terrible saying stuff like this, but it
happens once in a while, says, oh, this person died,
and I say, I thought that person died years ago.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
Same, are you talking about the girl from he Haw the.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Girl the girl from he Hall. No, the girl from
laugh In died. Not not Goldie Hawn. Ruth Buzzy has
died at the age of eighty eight.

Speaker 5 (35:13):
You want to see a moon, gotcha, you've seen.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
It's just a guy i' molasting a woman on a
park bench and then she's beating him with her purse.
And that was high comedy Rowan and Martin's laugh In.
Ruth Buzzy didn't say a lot. I don't think she
had a lot of long monologues, soliloquies, bits. Mostly she'd

(35:42):
just say a couple of things and then, with a
grumpy look on her face, beat someone with her purse.
She was the frumpy but funny character on laugh In,
a show that wouldn't have been the same without her.
Also for Rush Limbaugh, Officionados became the name of a
Supreme Court justice, because I'm sure there are some people saying, no,

(36:04):
the Supreme Court justice. She died a few years ago.
She died during Trump's first term. That's how we got
various Supreme Court justices. So I know that that was
Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Still has a z in it, but
that's how that's what rush Limbaugh. Rush Limbaugh called her
because they do look a little similar with the hairstyle

(36:27):
and not exactly you know, a face that lights up
a room, which is fine, but rush Limbaugh used to
refer to Supreme Court Justice RBG. Ruth Bader Ginsburg is
Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg. So when I say Ruth Buzzy died,
there are some people like, no, the Supreme Court justice

(36:47):
she died years ago. No, that was Ruth Buzzy from
laugh In has passed away the age of eighty eight.
Say it with me. I didn't know she was still alive.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
I thought she'd be older than that if she was
still alive, which apparently.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
She was eighty eight. That's a good run. Oh yeah,
Well you think about who else was on Laughing, like
Goldie Hawn. She's not near ninety, she's whatever age she is.
And uh, I'll say it with me, guys, I would.
So I mean that it was not like Laughing was
the first show ever on broadcast television. It was just

(37:29):
before our lifetime.

Speaker 4 (37:30):
But don't you find eighty eight as you get closer,
And I'm not saying you're very closer, but as you
age and you get closer to that age, don't you
find that number always getting just a little bit. Well,
they might have had some time left. Yeah, they've gone
so young. I we joke about it, but as we
it closer to that age and we feel good.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
I'm at the age now where I now. I remember
asking my parents when I was a kid, I ask
my dad how old are you? And he'd have to
think about it, and I'm they're at like ten eleven
years old, going, how do you not know how old
you are? And I think, you know, my dad must
be stupid. And I now know a couple of things.

(38:11):
Number One, my dad was stupid. All our parents were.
They didn't know what they were doing. He didn't know
what he was doing anymore. Then I don't know what
I'm doing and raising my.

Speaker 3 (38:22):
Kids, okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
We try to figure it out as we go along.
And you look at them when you're a little kid
and you think, well, this man he knows everything. And
then you you ask him how old he is and
he doesn't know because it doesn't matter and then you
get to be that age and you realize, yeah, I
don't know how old I am, and I don't care

(38:45):
if someone asked me how old I am. I have
to think about it because it doesn't matter. I know
how old my kids are. Last night, my daughter in
her now final days in her her high school career,
the high school graduating senior.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
My daughter, Wait a minute, she's graduating.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
I've only mentioned it a million times.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
I haven't seen a graduation invite.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
Oh, you want to come to the graduation party with
a bunch of you didn't want my gift? I know
we're not. We're not doing the invite everyone, you know,
so we can try and get gifts. She doesn't need anything.
She's good.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
I just want you to know I'm turning my mic
off because I'm hurt. I'm going to go cry for
a few minutes, and i'll be back.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
I'll make sure that you get an invite. I tell
you I already left. It will not be a surprise
to you to learn I'm not in charge of any
of that.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
I'm not here.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
In fact, I can't even tell you until I look
at my calendar, and it would take me a minute
to dig around each day. I don't know when the
graduation party is at our house.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
Oh so you didn't get invited.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
I think I'm invited. I don't know when it is.
I don't know, but last night was I mean, my
daughter has been involved in so many things throughout school, theater, choir,
show choir, tennis, softball, soccer. As a little kid, she's basketball.
She's done so many different things. But the thing that

(40:15):
she's done consistently since she was really little, and they
first put a viola in her hand is play that.
As I call it. Her fiddle is a viola. But
I say, oh, you got you gotta play the fiddle
tonight never gets old, I guess. And last night was
her last concert as a member of a school orchestra

(40:38):
because she's not gonna presumably do it in college unless.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
Well she could, couldn't she Yeah, she could, but she
could march out there on the football field, and.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
No, she's a Last night was her last concert. And
they recognized the seniors at the concert last night, and
it was a beautiful thing. And I'm watching that and
I'm thinking, now, I know, now, I know why families
have like seven kids, because I watching my first born

(41:10):
go through all this stuff like she did that last night.
I held it together all right. Tuesday night is the
last choir and then show choir concert, and that one's
going to destroy me. And the reason is because of
the look on her face. Because when she's playing her viola,
she's very serious. She's not smiling, you know, she's working

(41:32):
on her piece, she's reading her music. But when she
does show choir, big smile, mostly fake, but big smile.
And just watching her up there dancing and smiling and
all that. To see that for the last time is
going to destroy me. That's Tuesday night. I'll be if
you mentioned how was the show choir concert on Wednesday,

(41:54):
I won't be able to go on. So there's yeah, yeah,
there's your reminder. You'll forget.

Speaker 4 (42:00):
These things are really good for them though in a
way because we all had to do it, we all
had to go through those milestones that broke us up,
just tear us apart. Sure, But and then you still
look back at them. You can tell her when she's
in her thirties and forties, she's still going to look
back on that night and be just as sad.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
I know well, and she and I had a bit
of that conversation last night. But I understand. I was
watching that last night completely understanding why families have seven kids,
because my firstborn's going to graduate, she's going through all
this less stuff. And then the only thing that kind
of snaps me back to some semblance of all right, well,

(42:42):
I'm not completely saying goodbye to this feeling is because
her little brother, who's a freshman in high school, he's
got a few more years and then we'll go through
all of this again, and it will hurt less because
I've already done it. But I've just got two kids,
and that's going to hurt.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
Well, you guys were to get on it, I know.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Yeah, the families that have seven kids, I think are
doing it right because then you by the time your
seventh kid comes through there and graduates, and like, this
is my last football game, this is my last prom,
this is my last graduation. You're like, big deal, I
forgot you still lived in this house. Like these dads

(43:26):
with seven kids, each of them by two to three
years apart. Literally walk around the house and here comes
the kids scurrying from the bathroom to the bedroom. And
you look at him for a second and go, what
are you still doing here like me listening to the
breaking news. Oh, Ruth Buzzy is dying. I thought she
died years ago. Like I would see a kid go

(43:48):
running through the house, going, why is Trevor still here?
I figure a seventh born would be named Trevor. It's
a good name. Why is Trevor still here? My wife
would have to say, like she'd have to look at
the chart and go, yeah, he's he's still here, Like
for how long he's graduating? This month? Good? You know,

(44:09):
I probably wouldn't even go to graduation.

Speaker 3 (44:11):
Doesn't mean that he's moving out, And.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
I wouldn't care. By the time, by the time you
get to this stake, by the time you get to
the seventh kid, you wouldn't even care. And you've been
beaten down. Life has kicked you in the nads so
much over from the first kid to the seventh kid
that you don't remember how much it hurt watching your
firstborn go through all this, and you die inside a

(44:33):
lot faster the more kids you have. Boy, if I
could go back and do it all over again, seven kids,
it's too late now, we're not doing it now. But
if I could go back, if I had a time machine.
Seven kids?

Speaker 3 (44:53):
Do you really think you would do that?

Speaker 2 (44:56):
No, because well if I if, if I knew then
what I know now? Mostly because like, you got seven kids,
what do I got to buy a bus to transport
them around? Like, hey, we're all going to Denny's.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
Christmas is a night getting the bus?

Speaker 2 (45:18):
You know that. I like having a standard one vehicle. So,
like I was saying, Ruth Buzzy died, how about that?
Elon Musk says, this is what's keeping me alive. I'll
tell you what that is next. Scott voice see Zonker's
custom was inbox. Scott at kfab dot com has got

(45:40):
two count them. Two moms in the inbox sent messages
to Scott at kfab dot com and said, Scott, I
know you said that you want to have seven kids.
That way, by the time the seventh one ends up
graduating from high school, it's not as sad. Both of
these moms email. Both Penny and Angie emailed and said,

(46:02):
just a heads up, even if you have lots of kids,
when the last one goes through all the last stuff
and all this stuff, it doesn't get any easier. It
still breaks you down. Two moms have said that and
zero fathers.

Speaker 3 (46:20):
Well they're busy.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
No dad's of seven kids of email emailed to say,
I'll tell you what when that last one went you there,
it tore me up. Here's what the dads are saying.
I forgot after the fourth kid how many kids I had?
And I'm not really sure of the last one's name.
Do you ever have someone in your life where you
see him often enough that you you're not sure if

(46:45):
you ever knew their name, but if you did, it
was when you met them years ago. But now it's
like five years have gone by and you see him
often enough where you're like, I really hope I don't
have to introduce him to somebody because I don't know
that guy's name and it's way too awkward now to
say I'm sorry, what was your name again? You're like,
we see each other once every two or three weeks

(47:07):
for five years, you don't know mine? Like so, I
think there are a lot of fathers who have that
relationship with their sons. That's why you get nicknames like Sport, Hey.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
Sport, that's a dog name, that's.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
Uh sport, Buddy Pow. That's where those names came from.
They weren't they weren't terms of endearment. They were because
fathers forgot your name. And you're like, wait a second,
my dad calls me sport. Yeah, see he doesn't remember. Wait,
I'm the I'm the the sixth kid. My dad hasn't

(47:46):
called me by my name in years?

Speaker 3 (47:48):
Uh huh, yeah, think about it, has he ever?

Speaker 2 (47:50):
Yeah? You were you were today years today, years old
when the guy on the radio told you your dad
doesn't know your name? Telling you all right, Elon Musk
He says, this is what's keeping him alive because there
was some question as to whether Elon was going to

(48:12):
leave his doji position with the White House saying here's
a hundred billion dollars in savings, here's another one hundred
billion dollars in saving. You know, there are people saying
it looks like he's already done. He said he was
gonna cut two trillion dollars in waste, but boy, he's
really short of that. Yeah. That's because every time they

(48:35):
try and cut something, nineteen judges stand up and go,
oh whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't do that. So the
cost cutting and savings are still down the road on
a lot of this stuff. But Tesla has been having
some issues, mostly because Democrats keep, i should say Anti

(49:01):
keeps setting fire to the cars and damaging any Tesla
as they see in any parking lot anywhere, and so
people might be less likely to drive a vehicle that
would become a target of arson. So yeah, Tesla's shafes
had dropped a little bit, and it was thought that
maybe Elon Musk would stop dozing and go back to Tesla.

(49:21):
And he was at the White House yesterday and said, no, no,
I'm I'm still here. And he says, I'm still going
to keep my office in the West Wing, which he
described as comically tiny, and said it has a view
of nothing. It has a window, but all you see
is the h VAC unit, which is fine. It makes
it harder to shoot me. It's not a good line

(49:44):
of sight.

Speaker 4 (49:47):
Going back to Veep, I think that that office was
actually in Veep.

Speaker 3 (49:52):
Really that he just described.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
Should I watch that show?

Speaker 3 (49:56):
Oh yeah, oh yeah?

Speaker 2 (49:59):
Which should I watch First Succession or Veep?

Speaker 4 (50:02):
Well, it depends if you want to laugh. It is
not for kids. She has got a filthy mouth, and.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
I've we've gone from the point where we tried to
watch things that the entire family could watch.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
Two, we can't watch anything that the kids because the
kids would wander in. We're trying to watch them and
they're like, what are you watching? And we're like, well,
we can't watch this. But now the kids really want
nothing to do with us, that's true. And we're trying
to say, like, hey, there's a new movie on Netflix
with Chris Pratt and the chick from Stranger Things, and

(50:36):
it looks kind of fun. Can we all watch it
together as a family? Yeah? Maybe, can we do it tonight?
Can we can we do it tonight? No, I'm playing
video games with my friends. I got a bunch of
homework to do. Like, well, when can we watch it?
I don't know. We'll watch it sometime. We'll watch it, Like, well,
we're gonna watch it without you? No, are you gonna

(50:57):
watch it with us? I don't know. Nightly conversations at
Vorhees Villas. But Elon says, I guess the thing that's
keeping him alive is that you can't shoot him in
his White House office because the window has a no
good line of sight. And he says he and Trump

(51:19):
are still good friends. Trump's always saying like, hey, stay
in the Lincoln bedroom, and Trump will call him and say,
make sure you get some ice cream from the kitchen,
And then Elon said, don't tell RFK.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
I don't think he has a problem with ice cream. No,
not all of it.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
Anyway, Trump meanwhile is cutting or he's saying he wants
to cut all the funding from NPR and PBS, and
people are like sesame Street. Well they do more than
sesame Street. Some of the stuff they do is good
on both S and NPR, and some of it is

(52:00):
not good. The children's programming about how bad white people
are on PBS that got people upset. So there's a
little bit of everything. But there's programming here on news
radio eleven ten KFAB that some people like and some
people don't. How much tax money do we get We
don't get any. We get money from our sponsors, which

(52:25):
are coming up here in just a moment. If PBS
and NPR have such great programming that they can have
sponsors by ads, then that's what they should do and
stop fundraising, right well, or yeah, well you could still
do the fundraising.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
I guess, yeah, I guess we'll do it.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
We could do a fundraiser here on eleven ten KFAB
for us. Good morning, it's the NPR FAB fundraiser. Oh wait,
we already did that. Sorry, I just had to find
the music. To find the music. Really is it April first?
Now May second?

Speaker 1 (53:06):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (53:06):
So Trump says it's time for them to survive outside
the taxpayer funded nest. And people are acting like Trump
just took away there's the sun, like, well, how are
we going to see where we we're going? Trump just
took away the sun. There's already some judge going, uh,
over my dead body. I've got uh, I've got the

(53:29):
We're gonna have the sun up there because I've got
an illegal immigrant son who I've got right here in
my house the sun. Whole family. Shut up about the sun.
I'll find that one too.

Speaker 3 (53:42):
Shut up about the sun.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
I got that one in here as well. Shut up
about the sun.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
Shut up about the sun.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
So Trump is taking away the sun by taking taxpayer
dollars away from broadcasting organizations that can survive without taxpaier. Oh,
only a little bit of their money comes from taxpayer dollars.
Then why are you complaining about it? Oh? Fox News Update.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
Next Scott Byes News Radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
Connie emails and says, who is Crispy Chris p aka
Crispy and who is he? He's the guy who for
the last week has been very nice to fill in
for Emery's songer. Emory is back on Monday, Chris in
for one more day to day two to six here

(54:34):
on news radio eleven to ten KFAB. He's been hosting
council members and candidates before the election on May thirteenth.
I'm very curious to hear how it goes today as
Amy Melton's competitor, Tim Carter is going to be in
the studio and the last time we heard him speaking

(54:54):
in public, he was dropping profanity left and right, and
that is not allowed on this flank and radio station.
So we're curious. I think I don't know the guy.
I hope he doesn't get the what's called the license
in jeopardy here for a radio station like ours. So

(55:18):
President Trump said time to take federal funding away from
NPR and PBS and people. As I said a moment ago,
you would think that Trump just kicked their dog. And
then they said, well, they don't get that much money.
Then what are we complaining about? What is the argument here? Now?

(55:40):
Something else that Trump has I think navigated. I don't
know how much he really wanted this particular outcome, but
I think it works out best for everyone involved in
the short term, because one of the big criticisms was,
well if Trump and people say, like I like America,

(56:04):
this country is just fine with me. It is just
all right, baby. And I like American jobs, and I
mean I have one. I'm here in America and I
have my American job. You know what else I like?
I like cheap crap, and I get it from China.
All that cheap garbage is made in China, and I
get a lot of cheap garbage. As I complained about
on the radio yesterday, we got some cheap garbage that

(56:28):
was you know what. I should check to see where
that washing machine was made, but I know how much
it cost, and I know it only lasted about three years.
So we spent twice as much this week and got
a new washing machine that has great ratings, is very quiet,

(56:50):
and it's made in the USA. Yeah, I spend a
little bit more money on this, But I can either
keep buying cheap garbage and replace it every couple of years,
or spend the money and get something that's going to
last and something that a local company is gonna stand by.
You ever bought some cheap garbage from China and then
you get it in the mail and you look at

(57:11):
it and go, this thing doesn't even work. And if
you can even reach back to the company the place
you bought it, what do they say? They say, Well
you can. Let's say I know you bought this thing
for one hundred dollars. You can send it back to
us and we will refund your money minus shipping and handling. Well,
how much is the shipping and handling to send it

(57:32):
back to China? Seventy nine dollars.

Speaker 3 (57:36):
That's that's a bargain, Yeah, seventy nine dollars.

Speaker 2 (57:39):
Like, wait a second, I got to spend seventy nine
dollars to get one hundred dollars back, they said, Or or.

Speaker 4 (57:44):
Well that's the reserve reserve reverse tariff though if you're
sending it back.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
Right or right and this is before all the tariffs, okay?
Or they say, okay, you can do that if you want.
You send us back minus shipping and handling is and
eighty dollars. Send it back, You get your hundred dollars back,
You get twenty dollars back or you cannot hassle with
any of that, and you can just keep the product.

(58:10):
We'll keep your money minus and we'll give you like
twenty bucks back. There you you broke even, and you
can keep that cheap crap that costs like a dollar
fifty to make, and you can just keep it. And
you realize they would have sent me this thing for free,
and it's just so stupid. How many people got a

(58:33):
whole bunch of stuff in their house that they just
decided not to send back because it wasn't worth the hassle.
And the company you gave you a slight refund, and
you feel like, well, I guess I got a little
bit of money back on this, and I still get
to keep this product that I don't want meat because
it doesn't work. So people in America say, look, I'm
not gonna spend a whole bunch more money for stuff

(58:55):
made in the USA when I can get the same
thing made in China, even if it's cheap garbage. It's
the mindset, and look, on some level I get it.
So when Apple said, because people I think have a
right now, there are people that don't use I Phone products,
saying oh no, all right, I'm not talking about y'all. Apple.

(59:19):
I think throughout America has a pretty good reputation as
being a good product. A lot of people have iPhones
and iPads and Apple this and Apple that. So Apple
makes a bunch of their stuff in China, and suddenly
it was like, wait a second, I have to have
this phone. My life revolves around this phone. When I

(59:41):
have to get another iPhone or whatever eye product, I
pads and all the rest of it, I gotta spend
like twenty percent more to get it. I don't know
about if I like that. Apple then came out they
met with the President of America, and people were like, so,
what's gonna happen here with the cost of all the

(01:00:02):
Apple stuff. Well, Apple came out yesterday and said we're
shifting production of iPhones and other Apple devices out of China,
and that caused people to go, hey, all right, but
wait a second, are you gonna make it in America
with American labor or we gotta pay American labor prices. Look,

(01:00:25):
I don't like all that slave labor, child labor, and
all the rest of it in China where they're paying
people like, all right, you're gonna make this iPhone? How
much do I get? You get to live another day,
that's what you get. And Americans are like, that's terrible.
Where's the Apple store? And then they go buy all
the stuff anyway, and we kind of ignore the fact
that it was made in some instances by child labor.

(01:00:48):
Now I don't know about Apple, and it's not saying
about some of the other stuff. I don't know. But
people are suddenly like, are they gonna make this stuff
in America? Because we're paying paying people through the knows
to make you make all some of this stuff in America.
It's gonna cost a lot more than the twenty percent tariff.
So then Apple said, and we're moving our devices out

(01:01:09):
of China, but we're not gonna make a lot of
the stuff in America. Oh where are you gonna make it?
Vietnam and India, but mostly Vietnam will be the source
of almost all the iPads, the mac, the Apple Watch,
and the AirPod products sold in the United States. They're

(01:01:30):
moving it all to Vietnam. It's been fifty years since
the Vietnam War ended. This is I guess how we
try and get one back. We got these jobs coming
into Vietnam, it's relatively cheap labor. It's compared to America,
it's next to nothing. We're not gonna have tariffs. Vietnam

(01:01:54):
has been playing ball with Trump, and the stuff's not
going to increase dramatically in price now. It's not American
jobs coming back here. But Apple has done a lot
of American investment and they're making some stuff in America.
And India is happy because they get some of this
action as well. You know who's not happy, China. That
sounds like a pretty good day. That sounds like a

(01:02:16):
pretty good win for the United States and Apple and
the American consumers who are used to buying stuff as
cheaply as possible. And we're not funding our own demise
by handing all that money over to the communist Chinese
and China if look, I got nothing against the good
people of China. If you want to play on this

(01:02:38):
world stage, it's easy. All you do is topple your
leadership and institute some democracy and capitalism. Ask Japan how
it's done. They'll tell you. So it's as possible. And
next time, don't put a flower in the barrel of

(01:02:59):
the tank. I grab one of their tanks. Let me
know what you need. I'm sure America will help you out.
And see then you can have Kentucky Fried Chicken and
you can have stuff made in China again that Americans
can buy without funding a government that wants to kill us.

(01:03:24):
Didn't that sound nice? I've only got a few minutes
left when I come back here for this week. What
other problems can I solve? We'll find out next.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
Scott Bodies News Radio eleven ten kfab Lucy. Today's college
graduates like those who were exposed to President Trump and
Alabama last night. The whether they were there cheering or
whether they were part of the counter speech by Beto O'Rourke. Boy,

(01:03:56):
that must have cost dozens, dozens and dozens of dollars
to bring him to Tuscaloosa. So they had a speech
down there in Alabama. Beto O'Rourke was like, you.

Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
Can either go listen to the President or you're gonna
listen to me, and a few people decided that was
worth their time, and that's that's what America is all about.
But there are a lot of people there cheering along
with the President, who was talking about we're trying to
get you jobs in the future and make your neighborhoods
more safe and secure our borders and all the rest
of this stuff. Well, the reality for a lot of

(01:04:28):
these college graduates is they feel like they're not going
to have their jobs because of artificial intelligence. AI has
taken a lot of these opportunities away from this next
round of people entering the workforce. And to them, I
would say, and this is why they don't ask me

(01:04:48):
to go speech. It goes I can't even say I
can't even speak English. They don't ask me. They don't
ask me I don't speech good, they don't ask me
to go speak I go to hire you for college
graduations because I would probably say things like this, like,
all right, so you guys are afraid that AI is
gonna take your jobs. Well, you know what AI doesn't do.

(01:05:12):
It doesn't accept a job and then not show up
on the first day of work, or if it does
show up, it doesn't look like eight miles of bad
road and then act like there's some sort of like
you know, cultural situation going on when someone says, hey,
if you could put on pants, you know we wear
pants in this office. Oh yeah, sort of imperialism, the

(01:05:35):
capitalism imperialism like well, capitalism, imperialism is signing your paycheck.
AI knows which bathroom to use and doesn't get mad
if you call it by the wrong pronoun. AI works
pretty cheap. It doesn't show up all entitled going on.
I think I need to make seventy nine thousand dollars
in my first year. Like you were in a college

(01:05:56):
classroom on Tuesday, tell you tell me who's going to
make what so? Uh, I don't know. Maybe find a hat,
put it in your hand and go out there. And
rather than trying to find a job where you tell
your employer what they can do for you, maybe you
approach that position with here's what I want to do

(01:06:20):
to help you and your team. Here's what I can
bring to the table to help your business grow. Here's
an opportunity that I see with your business that I
can help with that's going to make you money and
make your life better. I mean, if it does anyone
actually do that kind of thing anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:06:39):
You should hit the commencement speech, trail, hire yourself out.
That's those are great points.

Speaker 2 (01:06:46):
I'm happy to do it. I will if you ask
me to go see.

Speaker 3 (01:06:51):
What trigger somebody?

Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
If yeah, if you asked me to go speak to
college graduates, or even high school graduates, or those who
now we have have commencement for well we're leaving elementary
school and going on to middle school whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:07:08):
Well they've been doing that for a while.

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
I promise you that I will do it with as
much care and attention and focus that I put into
the presentation on this radio show every single morning.

Speaker 3 (01:07:20):
No wait, don't sorry to sell yourself that way.

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
And you can pay me accordingly.
