Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott vorgiez, an elected representative who represents a district in
northeast Omaha. If you just moved to town, welcome, We're
so glad to have you here. North Omaha, as it's
often described is I don't generally use the phrase north Omaha.
(00:22):
It has I mean, that phrase in and of itself
has a connotation associated with it. For some people. It's
one of negativity. It's one of crime, it's one of squalor,
it's one of danger. And I don't see it that way.
As someone who grew up here in Omaha. I love
all of Omaha. I have spent time in all of Omaha,
(00:48):
and I understand that there are good people who live
in that community who don't like being lumped in as
just this all encompassing, dismissive term north Omaha. I'll use
a directional to be able to identify a part of
town I'm talking about, and that would be Northeast Omaha.
(01:08):
But north Omaha is it's an increasingly larger area of
space and in corporate incorporates a lot of different communities, neighborhoods,
and frankly, there are some parts of that as well
as all quadrants of town that could use a few
fewer thugs in it. And and there's no reason to
(01:29):
just say, well, north Omaha just being north Omaha over
this past weekend. But that said, this district does have issues,
longstanding issues, not just related to crime. The elected representatives
(01:51):
in this community, whether they're at the state senate level
or the city council level. Sometimes not all of them,
but some of them have been of this adude that
somehow the reason that there's crime problems, homelessness and vandalism
and whatever in our part of town is because all
(02:12):
the people in the other part of town are just
pushing all this stuff into our community because they don't
care about us. Never mind the fact that there have
been so many bazillions of dollars that have gone in there,
everything from education to crime prevention. And that's just from
a government standpoint. The number of nonprofit organizations and individuals
(02:35):
and good people who have been there for this community
is a very long and noteworthy list. Meanwhile, you get
state senators like longtime State Senator Ernie Chambers, who turned
his back on his community every chance he got by
going in there and doing Christmas songs while they're trying
(02:57):
to talk about the business of the state of nebrass
and chose to demonize whitey and law enforcement, saying they
just murder people and know and and there's there's never
any repercussions for it. You know, this was the stance
of this community for the better part of fifty years
(03:17):
with Ernie Chambers at the helm. Well he got term
limited out again, and you have a state senator now
named Terrell McKenny. Terreel McKenny at least knows where his
community is. Ernie Chambers didn't spend much time there, didn't
Slash doesn't live there, and it's my assessment he never
really cared about his community. He cared about him at
(03:40):
least for his part. State Senator Terrell McKenny lives there.
He was there this past weekend when we had on
Saturday night that be Friday night into early Saturday morning.
He was there at one point over the weekend for
Native Omaha Days. There was a shooting at about thirtieth
(04:01):
in Bedford after Friday night's festivities and that got seven
people injured. And then the next night, just down the
street from there, another shooting, same community celebration, right down
the street, two more people injured and one dead. So
you had nine shot one killed in an event in
(04:23):
this part of town over the weekend. Stay Senator McKinney
was there on one of the nights, and he has
since said, look, we're are horrible about what happened in
this community, and I feel bad for the people who
have been injured. As we noted yesterday, the Omaha Police
(04:43):
Officers Association, this is the police union here in Omaha,
they put out a post saying that McKenny was down
there inciting anger, flipping off cops. Well, cops were out
there running towards gunfire, applying tourniquet and CPR and trying
to help people in the community. State Senator McKinney is
(05:04):
out there flipping them off, yelling blank the police and
inciting anger and all the rest of it. Now, there
have been those saying, well, wait a second, was were
Omaha police officers actively applying CPR and McKinney's standing right
over him, cussing at him and yelling at him and
flipping them off and all the rest of the stuff.
I didn't get that impression from the post. The impression
(05:27):
I got was right there near where the police officers
were and there were officers everywhere. You have all these
people shot there, cops everywhere that he was in the
vicinity doing this, They observed him doing this. I didn't
get the impression that he was actively impeding law enforcement.
He certainly wasn't helping, and he certainly wasn't flamming the fames.
(05:52):
He was sorry, he was fanning the flames of passion
among the anti cop crowd in his community. But the
media says, well, it was McKenny actively impeding law enforcement,
so they had to go out to the Omaha Police Department.
Chief Schmaters said, no, we don't have any record of
(06:12):
Terrell McKinney stopping police as they were trying to do
this stuff. That's not the impression I got anyway. Now,
Senator McKinney posted on his social media and said, on
Saturday night, I exchanged words with OPD because from my perspective,
they were unjustly attempting to violate the rights of community members.
(06:39):
With all due respect, Senator, what the hell are you
talking about? The cops were unjustly attempting to violate the
rights of community members. Was there something going on there
other than cops trying to save the people who had
been shot who were not shot by the police. The
(07:00):
police were trying to track down the individuals who did
the shooting, and they were talking to people about it.
Did you see anything? Are you one of those we
need to talk to? We had someone who said he
went that way, you're over here, let's talk to you
for a second. Is that's called police work, senator, not
(07:20):
unjustly attempting to violate the rights of community members. What
in God's name are you talking about? And then he
went further and just in case you're wondering, well, what
does he think about what police do? He has long
accused police officers of murdering people black men in his
(07:40):
community unjustly, and he said so again in a social
media post in the wake of this incident over the weekend.
He said, if I'm being labeled unfit to serve as
an elected official, then the officer is responsible for the
deaths of and he starts listing a bunch of individuals
who he says have been unjustly murdered by cops. He says,
(08:04):
then the officer is responsible for the deaths of Zachary
bear Heels, Kenneth Jones, Stephen Phipps, Cameron Ford and Janetie
Ibraheim are unfit to serve in law enforcement. Accountability must
work both ways. And he posted some other stuff I
think leading up to this weekend about Stephen Phipps. Just
(08:25):
in case you're trying to remember, well, who did what,
win and all? This? This was a guy who police
pulled him. Oh yeah, he says. You know, this guy
was pulled over because he didn't have a license plate
on the front of his car. That's not even something
that's illegal anymore. I think you had to have a
license plate on the front of your car at the
time law enforcement pulled them over. A lot of times
(08:48):
law enforcement will pull you over if you've got a
head light out, tail light out for any reason. Anyone
else not carrying a weapon. They're not supposed to have
ever been pulled over by law enforcement because there was
a headlight or tail light out. I have we all
alive today? Yeah, you know why, because we didn't do
what happened. Next, Phipps gets out of his car. Officers
(09:12):
said sorry, get back in the vehicle. He didn't seem
like he could follow that command. He then took off.
He ran through a parking lot and was pulling a
handgun out of his I don't know his jacket or
his pants as he climbed over a fence. He's now
on the other side of a fence. Law enforcement are
running towards him. He's got a gun pointed at cops.
(09:34):
They shot and killed him. Cameron Ford was a well
documented gang member who was known to be in possession
of a firearm he was not supposed to have. They
had a warrant to search his home. He was killed
in the issuance of the so called no knock search warrant.
(09:58):
You know why officers do that, because these guys are
going after really bad guys. And if you say hello,
anyone home, Hi, it's the cops. We're coming to arrest
you and make the rest of your life miserable. Can
you open up the door for us, please? That doesn't
work out so well for anyone now. Terrell McKinney should
be much more concerned with well documented gang members in
(10:22):
possession of firearms, are not supposed to have committing crimes
in his community, in his neighborhood, or people can't follow
simple commands from law enforcement. Get in the car, stay
out of the car, show your hands, don't run, put
the gun down. You know, these are simple things. And
Jero McKinney apparently thinks that the cops, who in many
(10:46):
instances have had their lives threatened by some of the
individuals he named here, and we're in a position where
it's either my life or his. He thinks that these
officers should have just been shot and killed. Hey, they
chose a dangerous job. If they go out and get
themselves shot and killed, well that's on them. You know,
people in our community should not have their rights unjustly violated.
(11:12):
What are you talking about. So Terrell McKinney doesn't like
the cops. He hasn't for a long time liked the cops.
The cops are out there, he was exercising here's first
Amendment right for sure, flipping off the cops as they're
trying to help people in his community. How is he
(11:34):
helping by flipping off cops and yelling blank the police.
This is an elected representative in what is a short
line but long years long issue of elected representatives in
this community who have the same attitude. This attitude gets
(11:57):
men like Stephen Phipps and Cameron Ford and JANETI Ebraheim
gets them killed. This attitude gets young black men killed. Hey,
if the cops have to ask you a question to
pull you over, you don't have to talk to them.
You do whatever you want. You pull a gun on them.
(12:18):
You know I'd shoot first and ask questions later. Like
Ernie Chambers said about murdering police officers, this is the
kind of attitude that gets the guys that you say
that you're standing up for, gets them murdered, and it
leads to what we saw on an army base yesterday.
(12:39):
We'll get to that in two minutes.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Scott Fores News Radio eleven ten kfab on the.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Assertion by the state senator he was flipping off cops
over the weekend as they were trying to help people
and arrest bad guys, and he's flipping them off and
yelling blank the police. He says, I exchanged words with
Omaha police because from my perspective, they were quote unjustly
attempting to violate the rights of community members. John emails
(13:08):
and says, you mean there are justly ways to violate rights.
That's a good question and good point there, John well Taken,
thank you very much for that email. You can send
it as well. Scott atkfab dot com. Ryan says, we
really need to start dismissing people like the state senator.
(13:29):
We need to shut them down and stop allowing them
to spew their ignorant statements. When we give them relevance
by arguing with them, they win. Shut them down like
they are your child. Stay Senator Terrell McKinney is not
my child. He's an elected representative serving a community that
continues to have problems with I'm not saying that there's
(13:52):
a quadrant of town that's like this place is absolutely
crime free. We don't have that luxury here in Omaha.
But the attitude that has taken root and continues to
be watered by the actions of elected representatives like Terrell
McKinney leads to young men getting either arrested unnecessarily in
(14:17):
many instances, sometimes killed by police. Or here's the other thing.
I know that people like State Senator McKinney don't want
to hear this, but there are people getting shot and
oftentimes killed by people who are not police officers. I
don't really hear the eye or that complaint the problems
about that. Only when law enforcement shoots someone does Someone
(14:44):
like McKinny seem to be mad. In fact, law enforcement
was there over the weekend because over two nights, in
just a couple of blocks away from each other, at
the same event, community event. Over a couple of nights,
I had nine people s one person killed, and McKinney
didn't say anything, Hey, I want to thank law enforcement.
(15:06):
They were right there as emergency first responders trying to
save lives. The reason why it was one person killed
and nine injured is because we had cops right there
saving lives. It could have been more people killed if
not for the immediate life saving actions of law enforcement
and first responders. He didn't say that. He's probably really
(15:30):
mad that it wasn't cops showing up and just starting
to shoot and kill people, because that's what he thinks
that they do. Like the cops are sitting around on
Saturday night, What do you guys want to do tonight?
I don't know. I already saw Happy Gilmore too, so
there's nothing else I want to watch on TV. Oh
I heard there was a community event up in northeast Omaha. Ooh,
(15:52):
there'll probably be a lot of unarmed black people there.
We know what to do, guys, and they go up
there bitty bitty just I just hey, there's one you know,
like it's a carnival game. That's what Terrell McKinney thinks
cops do. And that's what they tell young people that
cops do. That's who that's what they tell people about
(16:14):
who cops are. And so you have a situation where
and this is what happened in Georgia yesterday near Savannah, Georgia,
I had Fort Stewart Army Base. You have an army
sergeant accused of shooting five people on the base yesterday.
As I said, army sergeant, someone who didn't have a
(16:38):
problem in terms of any disciplinary action while in the
ranks of the United States Army. He I think he
got pulled over for d UI recently, but that was
something to see. He he this past May was arrested
(16:59):
for DUI in Georgia. But it seems like his actions
yesterday are unrelated to that. And I don't know what
the uh the army knew about that, But according to
what we're learning here about the situation, he had a
problem with a co worker. Clearly they had a disagreement.
(17:23):
He had previously told family members about racism on the base.
Now I don't know other than to say, even if
you had racists making this guy, this guy is black,
making his life miserable, there are much better ways of
(17:43):
dealing with it than taking out your firearm and just
starting to shoot guys. That's something that we need to address.
But I also wonder if the alleged racism is the
same stuff we hear from individuals like State Senator McKinney.
(18:03):
That racism is a guy is pointing a gun at
a cop, the cop shoots the guy. The cop shot
that guy not because the guy had a gun on him,
but because the officer is white and the guy is black.
It's racism. I got news for you. That's not racism.
(18:25):
And whether it's stuff like that or the perceived slights
of how if anyone ever says, hey, stop running when
you're a kid, they're saying that to you because you're
black and they you just can't get ahead in this world. Hey,
you need to pay better attention in class. Oh are
you telling me that because I'm black? You know what?
(18:47):
It's this attitude that we're just infusing in young men
that dilutes actual racism and leads to so many different problems.
So he felt that he was targeted because he's black.
I'm guessing that he was not the only black man
(19:10):
on a military base near Savannah, Georgia. It's like, oh, look,
see what do we have here? Oh I get I've
never seen a black person before here in Georgia. I
find that hard to believe. So they don't know why
(19:34):
he attacked his fellow soldiers, but they noted that he'd
complained to his family about racism. I don't know. I
My knee jerk reaction is we're teaching young people the
wrong way of dealing with problems, and that's of all
(19:55):
different backgrounds, hughes, ethnicities, races, and all their of it.
Anytime anyone tries to do anything good, we got people
out there, you know, yelling say that's racist, that's in humane,
which brings us to a very impassioned email that went
out this morning. Recently, there was a new movement that
(20:18):
came from Washington, an executive order from the President of
the United States, which automatically means that there are some
people who are completely opposed to it. You want to
read it first, Nope, did the president sign it? Is
this something that Trump wants?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Then?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I hate it, and I hate anyone who might think
it's a good idea. That's where we start this conversation.
That's how we start every conversation under the sun, not
just in America, but seemingly around the world these days.
Is it worth having a conversation about the reality of
(20:58):
what led to the executive order, what the order does
or does not do, and what people who work in
this world think about it. Well, I hope so, because
that's what I have planned for this segment. The order
is called ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
I'll vote for that.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah, it was amazing. Here's what happened. Here's the timeline.
There was crime and disorder on America's streets, and then
the President signed an executive order and since then it's gone.
Thanks Trump. All right, there's a little more to it
than that. There's a little more to it than that,
not just the crime. Though. It's interesting to note here
(21:42):
that two fifteen year olds have been arrested in Washington,
d C. And President Trump is talking about if DC
doesn't get its act together, we will have no choice
but to take federal control of the city and run
the city how it should be run, and put criminals
on notice. They're not going to get away with crime
I'm any more. That's what he's talking about.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
In d C.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
You know who got attacked the other day none other
than Edward Korstein. He is a DOGE leader who's best
known by his nickname, which he used on social media
and this guy into media media and he is the
(22:24):
one who is known as and I quote big Balls.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
I thought he got fired.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I think he just laughed, but he was. Yeah, he's
I guess, a former member of DOGE, the Department of
Government Efficiency, one of the most visible member. Well he's big,
you know, So he's a big visible member of So
he was over in the weekend in d C with
his girlfriend. Group of teenagers attempted to carjack him. He
(23:00):
confronted this group of teenagers. Several of the teens attacked him.
He's trying to shield his girlfriend from attack. Police who
were patrolling nearby intervened. They all took off. Two fifteen
year olds from Maryland have been arrested on charges of
unarmed carjacking. So, yes, we have some issues across the
(23:20):
country with crime. But also he's talking Trump is about
disorder on America's street because not only is this look,
We've got to deal with crime, illegal immigration, but also homelessness.
He's given some opportunity for cities to deal a little
more stringently with providing the means for people to not
(23:45):
live on the streets and the means for people to
remove these individuals from Omaha's and America's streets. Not because hey,
don't you people have homes. I'm tired of looking at
this unwashed riff raft as I'm walking into the yacht club.
How can I walk from the country club to the
(24:06):
yacht club without walking by someone asking for change? Little
street urchins, get out. You know, that's not what we're
talking about. We're talking about people. As we have another
stretch of weather here with the heat index, over one
hundred people die in these conditions, and yet somehow it's
considered humane to just let people live on the streets,
(24:28):
not only let them live on the streets, but provide
them with the means to do so. Whether it's allowance
of panhandling, allowance of living in areas where people can't live.
If I can't build a house on this street median,
on this public or private property near an intersection in
(24:49):
this town, if I can't build a house there. You
can't erect your domicile there as well. It's illegal. But
we have people out there giving tents. It's amazing how
they all have the same tents, because we have a
group of people who are out there saying, here, take
a tent, so what it's easier to wrap you up
when you catch your death here on the streets of Omaha.
(25:13):
That's what we're talking about. It's not a tent that's
going to keep you alive. It's a tent where you
can store your stuff and be and have that stuff
stolen by other members of the homeless community. You can
be attacked in that tent. You can do drugs or
store your alcohol till it's stolen by someone else in
the community. It's a horrible life and to allow people
(25:37):
to live in that life and die and wait for
the elements to kill them or other criminals on the
streets is not humane. And the more we've been pacifying it,
the worse it has gotten. President Trump says, here's an
executive order and in crime and disorder on America's streets.
We have a response now from someone who works in
(25:59):
this world who will joinjoining us on the radio tomorrow.
Morning after nine o'clock, and that is Open Door Mission CEO,
doctor Candice Gregory. She'll be on here to speak for
herself and talk about some of the blowbacks she's gotten
since she's had this opinion. An email went out this morning,
(26:19):
and I've been texting with her since then. She's traveling today,
she'll be on tomorrow, but she says, here's a portion
of the email. I've received a flood of questions from
not just Open Door Mission staff, volunteers and donors, but
from my family, friend's, colleagues, and fellow partners about the
President's recent executive order. It marks a dramatic shift from
(26:42):
the federal approach we've lived under for over thirty years,
with the same mantras and homelessness in ten years, no
child left behind, rapid rehousing housing first. Honestly, I have
to say, says Candice Gregory. I have to say, it
reads like someone finally stood back, took a hard look
(27:03):
at the people and broken outcomes, and finally said enough,
this isn't working. Candice then provides those resume points that
most of us already know for thirty some years full
time ministry, working with those who are homeless, who are addicted,
(27:23):
who are mentally ill, who are deeply marginalized, and she says,
I've watched firsthand as entire systems failed the very people
they were meant to serve. Billions have been spent, countless
initiatives launched, and yet conditions have only worsened. People are dying,
and not just physically, but spiritually, emotionally and mentally dying
(27:47):
every day. So when I saw this executive order, I
felt a spark of something I hadn't felt in a
long time around public policy hope. Not because I believe
any single policy will be perfect, but because someone somewhere
in the leadership finally seems willing to admit that what
we've been doing isn't working. Many advocacy groups are pushing back.
(28:14):
I realize that my opinion is different and often not welcome.
When shelters turn people away because they're not housing ready,
when mental illness and addiction are treated as secondary people
die alone, in tense, just a block away from help.
This isn't about right or left politically, she says, I
(28:36):
don't carry water for any politician. I carry water literally.
That's part of the outreach of the mission. That's why
we did hydrate for hope on this radio station just
the other day. Candas sums up by saying, it's time
to try something different with open eyes, open hearts, and
a firm commitment to results that restore dignity and save lives.
(28:58):
We owe people that much. So Candice Gregory is not
immediately dismissing as uncarrying and inhumane the actions of President
Trump to allow communities the power to restore people's lives
and dignity by not allowing them to live on the streets.
(29:20):
And somehow people have decided that, I mean, look at
it this way. If you live on the streets, whether
or not you've got weather conditions like extreme heat this
week or extreme cold in other times of the year,
but you also have a criminal element that roams the streets,
subjects people to drug addiction, leaves mental illness unchecked. When
(29:45):
mental illness is unchecked, a lot of times, the result
of that is death. When you're emaciated because you're not
getting the nutrition you need, and especially for young people,
in these conditions, you're often abused, attacked, and affect as
a way of trying to get that which you need
to survive one more day. These are the realities of
(30:07):
those living on the streets. When you allow it to continue,
you're allowing all of those things. I just said. It's disgusting.
If someone were standing there in a street corner with
a gun to their own head saying I'll do it,
people will be like, someone's got to intervene, Cops need
(30:29):
to do something. But if someone's standing there in a
street corner with open sores and mental illness, unchecked, emaciated belly,
hasn't seen nutrition in months, they've got boils because their
skin is I mean, I don't want to be gross here,
but they're standing out there in these heat conditions, completely
(30:53):
dehydrated and just waiting to die so someone can give
them a couple of bucks so they can spend that
money on drugs or alcohol. That's no different than standing
there with a gun to your own head. Someone needs
to intervene and do something and not be demonized for
doing so. That's what this executive order is all about.
That's what we're empowering in our communities. And that's what
(31:15):
the CEO at the Open Door Mission is applauding right now,
and she's being demonized for it by people who aren't
doing the same things that she and her volunteers and
donors have been doing. We'll talk more about it tomorrow
morning at nine o'clock right here on eleven ten KFAV
when Candice Gregory will be here on this program.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Scott Byes News Radio eleven ten k FAD.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
America has Florida, Nebraska has Lincoln, not just as cool
place to live or visit, but also there does tend
to be a prevalence of stories of weird behavior coming
out of these places. So much so that Florida man
(32:05):
as in a lot of news stories, odd news stories
starting off with the phrase Florida man arrested for trying
to impregnate a sea cow or whatever. There's some of
that out there. Now, America has Florida, Nebraska has Lincoln.
In this case, it's not Lincoln man, it's Lincoln woman
(32:30):
arrested after wild scene. Lucy, I think you'll be the
judge of that. Let's see how wild this got. The
other night, Lincoln police were called to the intersection of
twenty fifth and P Streets. The story from Nebraska Public Television.
I thought we defunded them. Oh wait, we just talked
to them the other day. They're still around okay, good.
(32:54):
Lincoln Police were called to the intersection of twenty fifth
and p for a report of a woman with her
entire forearm inside of a fire hydrant. Do you want
me to repeat that?
Speaker 3 (33:11):
I think you should for some but I got it.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
But yeah, reports of a woman with her entire forearm
inside of a fire hydrant.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
It was like from the top from the side.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yeah. Well I thought you said you got it, because
I have a lot of questions. Was the fire height obviously?
Maybe she's it was open? If it was open, was
there water coming from it? If there was water coming
from it, was she trying to plug it? If it
was open and there wasn't water coming from it, What
(33:49):
did she think was in there?
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Treasure?
Speaker 1 (33:53):
I got I can't get my kit cat bar out
of here. Yeah, there's treasure in there. So police were
called for a report of a woman with her entire
for her entire for it's got to be in here somewhere.
What I don't know another way.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Of saying that this is up to the elbow right, yes,
unless it was like terri I mean, why would they
say forearm?
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Well, either she got her arm wedged in there and
couldn't move it, in such a way she could get
it back out, or the hole was pretty small and
her forearm was bigger and it went in but it
wouldn't come back out like like Chinese fingercups.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Okay, I'm I'm just I picture your forearm kind of
like the you know, the little fatty part here on
the side, not the whole.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Arm, not yours.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
You have.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
You have no fatty part on your body. So uh, this,
by the way, is just the beginning of this story.
We have not reached the conclusion of this story. Because
I said Lincoln woman arrested after wild scene. That's an
interesting first conversation. Well, hello, miss, what seems to be
(35:09):
the problem?
Speaker 3 (35:11):
What time did this happen last night? Was this?
Speaker 1 (35:13):
No, this happened the other day after midnight, So.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Way, you were there then, weren't you?
Speaker 1 (35:20):
No, No, that was there Tuesday. This happened Monday. When
officers arrived on the scene, they talked to this woman,
thirty one year old. Her name is Cassandra.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Cassie for friends.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yeah, they found her to be intoxicated and on drugs.
And in case you're wondering, like, was that through a
breathalyzer or toxicology? Was that only after you die, a
blood draw or anything. No, she just started talking and
(35:56):
she said that she stated this is again. According to
the story from Nebraska Public Television, LPD Lincoln Police Department
said she stated, quote, items were igniting inside her uterus.
You're welcome. Oh, items were igniting inside her uterus. And
(36:24):
I don't know if this was in response to you know, identity,
where do you live, How old are you? What's your
date of birth? Well, she said she was born in
the eighteen hundreds. I'm impressed that someone who is well
over two hundred years old could still have items igniting
inside her uterus.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Well rules out batteries.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Well, I don't know. They said that there were rubber
portions of the fire hydrant that were broken off beyond repair,
and the cylindrical cap was completely screwed off. Every opening
to the hydrant was exposed. We don't know if she
did it, but it is suspected that she was doing that.
(37:12):
I don't know why there wasn't water coming from it.
I guess I don't know how that works all the time.
But she gave officers a piece of masking tape from
her bra which contained meth I suppose as a peace offering.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
Is that a bribe?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Well, I don't know. I can only read the story.
LPD said. Cassandra gave officers a piece of masking tape
from her bra containing meth. She was arrested and booked
into the Lancaster County Jail.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
And that's it. That's all we have.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
What more do you want? There's a lot, Yes.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
I want to know a lot more than that. How
did she get the tops off?
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Well, I'm guessing that she probably if you're all hopped
up on meth plus, if you've got the wisdom of
at least two hundred and twenty five years, well, I
suppose maybe up to two hundred and twenty five Maybe
not quite all right, if you're if you're well over
one hundred and twenty five years old, you probably have
(38:19):
the experience to be I mean, taking a part of
fire hydrant, no big deal, now, I don't I don't
know why you would get your arm wedged in there, But.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
We charge somebody with that the myth.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yeah, the uh charge for intoxication, public intoxication. If she
didn't hurt the destruction of public property, it wasn't destroyed.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Well, I suppose she could be impeding safety if they
couldn't use it.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
If they're the fire hydrant, the rubber portions of the
fire hydrant were broken off beyond repair. I guess I
haven't played honor around a fire high in since I
was a kid. What rubber portions of a fire hydrant?
I'm guessing you have to unscrew parts of the fire
hydrant to get to the rubber portions.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
I'm thinking seals.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Yeah, you've got the seals the O rings on there,
but you'd have to have like a big plumber's wrench
to be able to do that.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
That's what I'm saying, get them off.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Maybe she just bit it off. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Is that what really happens to teeth? You?
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Yeah, people think that the you're on meth and your
teeth just kind of gradually disintegrate and fall off. No,
it's it's from trying to bite fire hydrants in half.
The story here is about dating apps, and there's one
new tool on the Tender dating app. Is that for
dating and meaningful relationships or well maybe for some people,
(39:50):
so for some it's other it's a meaningful relationship but
only for an hour at a time or whatever. There
is a there's an apparent new tool on tender that
allows people to among setting their preferences for potential matches
on this dating app. One of the preferences is height. Okay,
(40:18):
And there are some people, we'll call them short people
who are saying.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
I don't know, why is height any different than any
other preference you have?
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Well, I mean what, it's your preference, that's true, it
is your preference. Maybe your preference is I don't want
to date someone is too short or too tall. I
mean it could be that. It's also like, look, I'm
not interested in going out with lou Alcinder anytime soon.
The guy's too tall.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
But well, he's dead, isn't he?
Speaker 1 (40:52):
He better not be?
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Who is he?
Speaker 1 (40:54):
Kareem Abdul Jabbar?
Speaker 3 (40:55):
Oh yeah, okay?
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Why are you trying to kill Kareem?
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Not not?
Speaker 1 (41:03):
Who do you think you are? The Detroit Pistons or
the eighties Boston Celtics. Don't try and kill Kareem. No,
Kareem's fine. And if you want to date him, I
think he's married. I don't know. But there are those
who say that it's a bias against not so tall men.
On the site, one user laments it's over for short men. Now,
(41:25):
wait a second. Let's say you are on the dating
app and you have all your different preferences and you're
looking at a picture. Let's say you're a woman, Lucy.
Let's say you're a woman and you're looking for a
potential mate, either for the evening or for life, and
you find someone who seems to have all the characteristics
(41:46):
you like. You know, he's got that standard picture of
I'm out jogging, which shows that I care about health
and fitness, but I'm also petting a cat, which shows
I'm sensitive, and my cat likes to jog with me
while I pet it. And you're like this, this guy
seems sweet, and then you meet him and you find
out he's four five he's four feet five inches tall.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
If you have that much of you cannot date tall
or short, then you shouldn't even meet these people even online.
Just don't even get to know them well.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
The idea is is that someone would have a preference
not to date someone who's really short.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
Right, that's why you don't want to meet right, Right?
Speaker 1 (42:32):
But if was what if you really like him? Right?
But wouldn't it be wouldn't it be better if you're
a short guy, and you end up dating someone and
she's she's taller, and she's not interested in dating someone
who's a lot shorter. Wouldn't it be better to just
not get swiped on on the app as they find out? Like, Oh,
(42:53):
I like this guy. He seems okay, but he's really
short or he's really tall or whatever whatever preference. Maybe
it's you know, hair color. I don't know, But isn't
it better to know that and not know that in advance? Like, oh, okay,
I didn't get this match. You don't know that this
person rejected you because of your height as opposed to Yeah,
(43:13):
you're everything I'm looking for in a guy except your
fund sized, so I'm not interested. And she says it
to your face at your lunch meeting. Isn't it better
to just not know? To ignorance? Is bliss?
Speaker 3 (43:26):
Rights saying don't even swipe, don't even meet.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
When you meet for a lunch date and she says, oh,
very nice to meet you. You're Kevin. Do you need
a booster chair so we can have this lunch? I
can't wait.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
Why don't you start making fun of the really super
tall people?
Speaker 1 (43:42):
Right? You know? When the waiter comes over and brings
her a menu and brings you a kid's menu. That's
not a good sign probably for the health of this relationship.
So I think it's just better just not to know
that way, if you don't get the matches, it can
be like, oh, well, there's just a you know how
guys think.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
Right, No, I don't know anything about.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
If you're on a dating app and you're clicking on
the app to say, all right, how many matches does
this eligible bachelor have today, and you look and at
you find that it's none, Well, it's either well, obviously
the app's not working. There's some problem. You're calling tech support.
My app doesn't work. Well, we checked it seems like
it worked. Well, probably nothing, but lesbian's on there. That's
(44:30):
that's what guys think. That's how guys think. And it
helps them get by all of their personal shortcomings which
prevents them. Yeah, there helps them get by all their
personal issues that would cousse someone not to want to
click on them. I can't imagine being in this world
(44:54):
of the dating apps. I mean, on one hand, it's
got to be super easy, right, I mean, back when
we were young and single, you actually had to go
up and talk to someone it was horrifying. Hey, how
are you you wanna gonna buy you drinkers? Something? You
want to go out on Friday?
Speaker 3 (45:15):
And they didn't have to tell you they didn't want
short people or tall people. You could just see it.
You can see it in their eyes have to stoop.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
Overs as you were approaching them. You can see them
looking literally looking down on you. What's horror problem? It
probably doesn't help that I'm characterizing guys who might be
a little bit on the short side as dwarves and
elves and munchkins.
Speaker 3 (45:41):
But yeah, because it could just be what somebody that's
like like Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1 (45:52):
Yeah, he's not real.
Speaker 3 (45:53):
Nobody's going to scribe him.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
I mean, wouldn't it be awful? Tom? Is he married
right now? I don't know what his relationships.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
I don't think so. But I think he's got a girl. Okay,
I think he's involved. But he's only like five seven.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
I guess he's not very tall. I don't know. I've
never hung out with him. I'm available, you know, but
hanging out with Tom Cruise would be exhausting. Hey man,
let's hang out on Saturday. Great, what are we gonna do?
Maybe play a little golf? No, We're gonna hang off
of airplanes and then jump off of buildings and repel
down without a bungee cord, Like, well, how are we
(46:28):
gonna do that? Oh, We're gonna use a series of
bed sheets and belts, you know whatever, Like it would
be exhausting. We're gonna run in that weird upright, Tom
Cruise way all day just so we can stay in shape. Like,
can't we just jog? No? We sprint everywhere.
Speaker 3 (46:46):
Wouldn't it be fun to hang out with Vince Vaughan
though he's six four and he would just keep you
laughing all day.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
It's interesting that you know how tall Vince Vaughn is,
since he's your ideal man, he's your celebrity crush.
Speaker 3 (46:59):
He's just like he's got the dad bod, which is guy.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
Yeah, what do you suppose? Like, Hey, I got Tom
Cruise wants to hang out this weekend. All he wants
to do is is hang off the side of helicopters,
Like hang on to the skid of a helicopter as
they fly around town. Vince Vaughn says, there's a new
barbecue joint opening, and I heard they got great ribs. Hey, Vince,
what time.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
You could go with both all three of you guys
get together and you'd be like the middle guy.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (47:34):
Or you could just let them hang out and they
would look ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (47:37):
Yeah, you know who I'd be in that crew, Vince Vaughn,
Tom Cruise and me. Yeah, Scott Vorhees. You know we'd
be girls would be all over those two, and I'd
be that that side guy, just trying to hone in
on it, like Okay, well, I know Tom Cruise rejected
you for this weekend, but I'm available now.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
I can see what you would be doing. You would
be doing the girl that wants to meet them, that's
going all crazy over both of them, or one of
them and her friend that is being drug along to
this ridiculous and she's standing back there where their arms cross,
and when are you going to be done with this?
That's the girl you'd hone in on.
Speaker 1 (48:16):
I always talk to her, always did. I learned pretty
early on, back in those single days where you actually
had to talk to someone. Right, if there are three
girls and you're obviously interested in one of them, you
can't talk to her and exclude her friends, especially if
she has a friend that maybe you're not as attracted to.
(48:39):
You've got to show yourself as hey, I'm fun and
gregarious and i want to talk to all of you,
and I'm interested in all of you. And honestly, it
was easy because I love talking to people. So it
was never like all right, I'd I'll lower myself to
talk to this gorg over here. You know, there wasn't
anything like that, And in some there're at least one
(49:00):
instance I can think of. Or I started talking to
one girl probably got rejected pretty quickly and ended up
with another one who was fantastic. I didn't immediately see it.
I was blinded by the attractiveness of this girl who
wanted nothing to do with me, and I moved down
the line as like, all right, how about you anyone interested?
I mean, but my point is that I've always been desperate,
(49:24):
and no, I mean. My point is back in the day,
you had too literally, you had to face this in person,
face to face, talk to people, figure out a strategy,
come up with some reason why you're approaching this person
and talking to them in the first place. It was
it was fun, It was I honestly had a great
(49:45):
time with it, even all those times I got rejected
which was often.
Speaker 3 (49:49):
But what I was hearing you say was that if
I think back to my young dating days, if I
was out with my friends. So you're saying that the
guy who came to talk to me was talking to
me because I was the ugly of the three. No,
I'm not saying, Yes, that's exactly what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (50:05):
No, I'm not all right, I'm saying that today you
just have let's say you have the girl and her
her friends on this app, and you can just sit
there with your phone, not talking to anyone, and just
be like nope, nope, yep, nope, yep, yep, yep, nip, yep, yep, yep,
I'm getting desperate, yep, yep, yep, yep, nope, no, yeah, okay,
(50:29):
and then yep, and then you see which of them
because suddenly they get a notification that says, hey, this
guy over here wants to talk to you, and you're
like nope, and you don't even really know you've swiped
yes on so many because you have you forgot yes,
I know, and you forgot how many you swiped on
in the first place, and you come back with a
(50:50):
few are like, yeah, why not, let's give it a chance.
After all, my I'm forearmed, deep in this fire hydrant,
and Lincoln I could use some company. It's hard getting
back to a story from earlier in the hour. So
I mean, it's so easy these days. You can just
mark down preferences and find out who's like, yeah, what
the heck, man, It's so easy. And once my wife right,
(51:17):
once my wife comes to her senses and dismisses me
from her life, I'll be back out there and I'll
let you know how it's going.
Speaker 2 (51:23):
Scott Fores News Radio eleven ten KFAB
Scott vorgiez, an elected representative who represents a district in
northeast Omaha. If you just moved to town, welcome, We're
so glad to have you here. North Omaha, as it's
often described is I don't generally use the phrase north Omaha.
(00:22):
It has I mean, that phrase in and of itself
has a connotation associated with it. For some people. It's
one of negativity. It's one of crime, it's one of squalor,
it's one of danger. And I don't see it that way.
As someone who grew up here in Omaha. I love
all of Omaha. I have spent time in all of Omaha,
(00:48):
and I understand that there are good people who live
in that community who don't like being lumped in as
just this all encompassing, dismissive term north Omaha. I'll use
a directional to be able to identify a part of
town I'm talking about, and that would be Northeast Omaha.
(01:08):
But north Omaha is it's an increasingly larger area of
space and in corporate incorporates a lot of different communities, neighborhoods,
and frankly, there are some parts of that as well
as all quadrants of town that could use a few
fewer thugs in it. And and there's no reason to
(01:29):
just say, well, north Omaha just being north Omaha over
this past weekend. But that said, this district does have issues,
longstanding issues, not just related to crime. The elected representatives
(01:51):
in this community, whether they're at the state senate level
or the city council level. Sometimes not all of them,
but some of them have been of this adude that
somehow the reason that there's crime problems, homelessness and vandalism
and whatever in our part of town is because all
(02:12):
the people in the other part of town are just
pushing all this stuff into our community because they don't
care about us. Never mind the fact that there have
been so many bazillions of dollars that have gone in there,
everything from education to crime prevention. And that's just from
a government standpoint. The number of nonprofit organizations and individuals
(02:35):
and good people who have been there for this community
is a very long and noteworthy list. Meanwhile, you get
state senators like longtime State Senator Ernie Chambers, who turned
his back on his community every chance he got by
going in there and doing Christmas songs while they're trying
(02:57):
to talk about the business of the state of nebrass
and chose to demonize whitey and law enforcement, saying they
just murder people and know and and there's there's never
any repercussions for it. You know, this was the stance
of this community for the better part of fifty years
(03:17):
with Ernie Chambers at the helm. Well he got term
limited out again, and you have a state senator now
named Terrell McKenny. Terreel McKenny at least knows where his
community is. Ernie Chambers didn't spend much time there, didn't
Slash doesn't live there, and it's my assessment he never
really cared about his community. He cared about him at
(03:40):
least for his part. State Senator Terrell McKenny lives there.
He was there this past weekend when we had on
Saturday night that be Friday night into early Saturday morning.
He was there at one point over the weekend for
Native Omaha Days. There was a shooting at about thirtieth
(04:01):
in Bedford after Friday night's festivities and that got seven
people injured. And then the next night, just down the
street from there, another shooting, same community celebration, right down
the street, two more people injured and one dead. So
you had nine shot one killed in an event in
(04:23):
this part of town over the weekend. Stay Senator McKinney
was there on one of the nights, and he has
since said, look, we're are horrible about what happened in
this community, and I feel bad for the people who
have been injured. As we noted yesterday, the Omaha Police
(04:43):
Officers Association, this is the police union here in Omaha,
they put out a post saying that McKenny was down
there inciting anger, flipping off cops. Well, cops were out
there running towards gunfire, applying tourniquet and CPR and trying
to help people in the community. State Senator McKinney is
(05:04):
out there flipping them off, yelling blank the police and
inciting anger and all the rest of it. Now, there
have been those saying, well, wait a second, was were
Omaha police officers actively applying CPR and McKinney's standing right
over him, cussing at him and yelling at him and
flipping them off and all the rest of the stuff.
I didn't get that impression from the post. The impression
(05:27):
I got was right there near where the police officers
were and there were officers everywhere. You have all these
people shot there, cops everywhere that he was in the
vicinity doing this, They observed him doing this. I didn't
get the impression that he was actively impeding law enforcement.
He certainly wasn't helping, and he certainly wasn't flamming the fames.
(05:52):
He was sorry, he was fanning the flames of passion
among the anti cop crowd in his community. But the
media says, well, it was McKenny actively impeding law enforcement,
so they had to go out to the Omaha Police Department.
Chief Schmaters said, no, we don't have any record of
(06:12):
Terrell McKinney stopping police as they were trying to do
this stuff. That's not the impression I got anyway. Now,
Senator McKinney posted on his social media and said, on
Saturday night, I exchanged words with OPD because from my perspective,
they were unjustly attempting to violate the rights of community members.
(06:39):
With all due respect, Senator, what the hell are you
talking about? The cops were unjustly attempting to violate the
rights of community members. Was there something going on there
other than cops trying to save the people who had
been shot who were not shot by the police. The
(07:00):
police were trying to track down the individuals who did
the shooting, and they were talking to people about it.
Did you see anything? Are you one of those we
need to talk to? We had someone who said he
went that way, you're over here, let's talk to you
for a second. Is that's called police work, senator, not
(07:20):
unjustly attempting to violate the rights of community members. What
in God's name are you talking about? And then he
went further and just in case you're wondering, well, what
does he think about what police do? He has long
accused police officers of murdering people black men in his
(07:40):
community unjustly, and he said so again in a social
media post in the wake of this incident over the weekend.
He said, if I'm being labeled unfit to serve as
an elected official, then the officer is responsible for the
deaths of and he starts listing a bunch of individuals
who he says have been unjustly murdered by cops. He says,
(08:04):
then the officer is responsible for the deaths of Zachary
bear Heels, Kenneth Jones, Stephen Phipps, Cameron Ford and Janetie
Ibraheim are unfit to serve in law enforcement. Accountability must
work both ways. And he posted some other stuff I
think leading up to this weekend about Stephen Phipps. Just
(08:25):
in case you're trying to remember, well, who did what,
win and all? This? This was a guy who police
pulled him. Oh yeah, he says. You know, this guy
was pulled over because he didn't have a license plate
on the front of his car. That's not even something
that's illegal anymore. I think you had to have a
license plate on the front of your car at the
time law enforcement pulled them over. A lot of times
(08:48):
law enforcement will pull you over if you've got a
head light out, tail light out for any reason. Anyone
else not carrying a weapon. They're not supposed to have
ever been pulled over by law enforcement because there was
a headlight or tail light out. I have we all
alive today? Yeah, you know why, because we didn't do
what happened. Next, Phipps gets out of his car. Officers
(09:12):
said sorry, get back in the vehicle. He didn't seem
like he could follow that command. He then took off.
He ran through a parking lot and was pulling a
handgun out of his I don't know his jacket or
his pants as he climbed over a fence. He's now
on the other side of a fence. Law enforcement are
running towards him. He's got a gun pointed at cops.
(09:34):
They shot and killed him. Cameron Ford was a well
documented gang member who was known to be in possession
of a firearm he was not supposed to have. They
had a warrant to search his home. He was killed
in the issuance of the so called no knock search warrant.
(09:58):
You know why officers do that, because these guys are
going after really bad guys. And if you say hello,
anyone home, Hi, it's the cops. We're coming to arrest
you and make the rest of your life miserable. Can
you open up the door for us, please? That doesn't
work out so well for anyone now. Terrell McKinney should
be much more concerned with well documented gang members in
(10:22):
possession of firearms, are not supposed to have committing crimes
in his community, in his neighborhood, or people can't follow
simple commands from law enforcement. Get in the car, stay
out of the car, show your hands, don't run, put
the gun down. You know, these are simple things. And
Jero McKinney apparently thinks that the cops, who in many
(10:46):
instances have had their lives threatened by some of the
individuals he named here, and we're in a position where
it's either my life or his. He thinks that these
officers should have just been shot and killed. Hey, they
chose a dangerous job. If they go out and get
themselves shot and killed, well that's on them. You know,
people in our community should not have their rights unjustly violated.
(11:12):
What are you talking about. So Terrell McKinney doesn't like
the cops. He hasn't for a long time liked the cops.
The cops are out there, he was exercising here's first
Amendment right for sure, flipping off the cops as they're
trying to help people in his community. How is he
(11:34):
helping by flipping off cops and yelling blank the police.
This is an elected representative in what is a short
line but long years long issue of elected representatives in
this community who have the same attitude. This attitude gets
(11:57):
men like Stephen Phipps and Cameron Ford and JANETI Ebraheim
gets them killed. This attitude gets young black men killed. Hey,
if the cops have to ask you a question to
pull you over, you don't have to talk to them.
You do whatever you want. You pull a gun on them.
(12:18):
You know I'd shoot first and ask questions later. Like
Ernie Chambers said about murdering police officers, this is the
kind of attitude that gets the guys that you say
that you're standing up for, gets them murdered, and it
leads to what we saw on an army base yesterday.
(12:39):
We'll get to that in two minutes.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Scott Fores News Radio eleven ten kfab on the.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Assertion by the state senator he was flipping off cops
over the weekend as they were trying to help people
and arrest bad guys, and he's flipping them off and
yelling blank the police. He says, I exchanged words with
Omaha police because from my perspective, they were quote unjustly
attempting to violate the rights of community members. John emails
(13:08):
and says, you mean there are justly ways to violate rights.
That's a good question and good point there, John well Taken,
thank you very much for that email. You can send
it as well. Scott atkfab dot com. Ryan says, we
really need to start dismissing people like the state senator.
(13:29):
We need to shut them down and stop allowing them
to spew their ignorant statements. When we give them relevance
by arguing with them, they win. Shut them down like
they are your child. Stay Senator Terrell McKinney is not
my child. He's an elected representative serving a community that
continues to have problems with I'm not saying that there's
(13:52):
a quadrant of town that's like this place is absolutely
crime free. We don't have that luxury here in Omaha.
But the attitude that has taken root and continues to
be watered by the actions of elected representatives like Terrell
McKinney leads to young men getting either arrested unnecessarily in
(14:17):
many instances, sometimes killed by police. Or here's the other thing.
I know that people like State Senator McKinney don't want
to hear this, but there are people getting shot and
oftentimes killed by people who are not police officers. I
don't really hear the eye or that complaint the problems
about that. Only when law enforcement shoots someone does Someone
(14:44):
like McKinny seem to be mad. In fact, law enforcement
was there over the weekend because over two nights, in
just a couple of blocks away from each other, at
the same event, community event. Over a couple of nights,
I had nine people s one person killed, and McKinney
didn't say anything, Hey, I want to thank law enforcement.
(15:06):
They were right there as emergency first responders trying to
save lives. The reason why it was one person killed
and nine injured is because we had cops right there
saving lives. It could have been more people killed if
not for the immediate life saving actions of law enforcement
and first responders. He didn't say that. He's probably really
(15:30):
mad that it wasn't cops showing up and just starting
to shoot and kill people, because that's what he thinks
that they do. Like the cops are sitting around on
Saturday night, What do you guys want to do tonight?
I don't know. I already saw Happy Gilmore too, so
there's nothing else I want to watch on TV. Oh
I heard there was a community event up in northeast Omaha. Ooh,
(15:52):
there'll probably be a lot of unarmed black people there.
We know what to do, guys, and they go up
there bitty bitty just I just hey, there's one you know,
like it's a carnival game. That's what Terrell McKinney thinks
cops do. And that's what they tell young people that
cops do. That's who that's what they tell people about
(16:14):
who cops are. And so you have a situation where
and this is what happened in Georgia yesterday near Savannah, Georgia,
I had Fort Stewart Army Base. You have an army
sergeant accused of shooting five people on the base yesterday.
As I said, army sergeant, someone who didn't have a
(16:38):
problem in terms of any disciplinary action while in the
ranks of the United States Army. He I think he
got pulled over for d UI recently, but that was
something to see. He he this past May was arrested
(16:59):
for DUI in Georgia. But it seems like his actions
yesterday are unrelated to that. And I don't know what
the uh the army knew about that, But according to
what we're learning here about the situation, he had a
problem with a co worker. Clearly they had a disagreement.
(17:23):
He had previously told family members about racism on the base.
Now I don't know other than to say, even if
you had racists making this guy, this guy is black,
making his life miserable, there are much better ways of
(17:43):
dealing with it than taking out your firearm and just
starting to shoot guys. That's something that we need to address.
But I also wonder if the alleged racism is the
same stuff we hear from individuals like State Senator McKinney.
(18:03):
That racism is a guy is pointing a gun at
a cop, the cop shoots the guy. The cop shot
that guy not because the guy had a gun on him,
but because the officer is white and the guy is black.
It's racism. I got news for you. That's not racism.
(18:25):
And whether it's stuff like that or the perceived slights
of how if anyone ever says, hey, stop running when
you're a kid, they're saying that to you because you're
black and they you just can't get ahead in this world. Hey,
you need to pay better attention in class. Oh are
you telling me that because I'm black? You know what?
(18:47):
It's this attitude that we're just infusing in young men
that dilutes actual racism and leads to so many different problems.
So he felt that he was targeted because he's black.
I'm guessing that he was not the only black man
(19:10):
on a military base near Savannah, Georgia. It's like, oh, look,
see what do we have here? Oh I get I've
never seen a black person before here in Georgia. I
find that hard to believe. So they don't know why
(19:34):
he attacked his fellow soldiers, but they noted that he'd
complained to his family about racism. I don't know. I
My knee jerk reaction is we're teaching young people the
wrong way of dealing with problems, and that's of all
(19:55):
different backgrounds, hughes, ethnicities, races, and all their of it.
Anytime anyone tries to do anything good, we got people
out there, you know, yelling say that's racist, that's in humane,
which brings us to a very impassioned email that went
out this morning. Recently, there was a new movement that
(20:18):
came from Washington, an executive order from the President of
the United States, which automatically means that there are some
people who are completely opposed to it. You want to
read it first, Nope, did the president sign it? Is
this something that Trump wants?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Then?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I hate it, and I hate anyone who might think
it's a good idea. That's where we start this conversation.
That's how we start every conversation under the sun, not
just in America, but seemingly around the world these days.
Is it worth having a conversation about the reality of
(20:58):
what led to the executive order, what the order does
or does not do, and what people who work in
this world think about it. Well, I hope so, because
that's what I have planned for this segment. The order
is called ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
I'll vote for that.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah, it was amazing. Here's what happened. Here's the timeline.
There was crime and disorder on America's streets, and then
the President signed an executive order and since then it's gone.
Thanks Trump. All right, there's a little more to it
than that. There's a little more to it than that,
not just the crime. Though. It's interesting to note here
(21:42):
that two fifteen year olds have been arrested in Washington,
d C. And President Trump is talking about if DC
doesn't get its act together, we will have no choice
but to take federal control of the city and run
the city how it should be run, and put criminals
on notice. They're not going to get away with crime
I'm any more. That's what he's talking about.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
In d C.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
You know who got attacked the other day none other
than Edward Korstein. He is a DOGE leader who's best
known by his nickname, which he used on social media
and this guy into media media and he is the
(22:24):
one who is known as and I quote big Balls.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
I thought he got fired.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I think he just laughed, but he was. Yeah, he's
I guess, a former member of DOGE, the Department of
Government Efficiency, one of the most visible member. Well he's big,
you know, So he's a big visible member of So
he was over in the weekend in d C with
his girlfriend. Group of teenagers attempted to carjack him. He
(23:00):
confronted this group of teenagers. Several of the teens attacked him.
He's trying to shield his girlfriend from attack. Police who
were patrolling nearby intervened. They all took off. Two fifteen
year olds from Maryland have been arrested on charges of
unarmed carjacking. So, yes, we have some issues across the
(23:20):
country with crime. But also he's talking Trump is about
disorder on America's street because not only is this look,
We've got to deal with crime, illegal immigration, but also homelessness.
He's given some opportunity for cities to deal a little
more stringently with providing the means for people to not
(23:45):
live on the streets and the means for people to
remove these individuals from Omaha's and America's streets. Not because hey,
don't you people have homes. I'm tired of looking at
this unwashed riff raft as I'm walking into the yacht club.
How can I walk from the country club to the
(24:06):
yacht club without walking by someone asking for change? Little
street urchins, get out. You know, that's not what we're
talking about. We're talking about people. As we have another
stretch of weather here with the heat index, over one
hundred people die in these conditions, and yet somehow it's
considered humane to just let people live on the streets,
(24:28):
not only let them live on the streets, but provide
them with the means to do so. Whether it's allowance
of panhandling, allowance of living in areas where people can't live.
If I can't build a house on this street median,
on this public or private property near an intersection in
(24:49):
this town, if I can't build a house there. You
can't erect your domicile there as well. It's illegal. But
we have people out there giving tents. It's amazing how
they all have the same tents, because we have a
group of people who are out there saying, here, take
a tent, so what it's easier to wrap you up
when you catch your death here on the streets of Omaha.
(25:13):
That's what we're talking about. It's not a tent that's
going to keep you alive. It's a tent where you
can store your stuff and be and have that stuff
stolen by other members of the homeless community. You can
be attacked in that tent. You can do drugs or
store your alcohol till it's stolen by someone else in
the community. It's a horrible life and to allow people
(25:37):
to live in that life and die and wait for
the elements to kill them or other criminals on the
streets is not humane. And the more we've been pacifying it,
the worse it has gotten. President Trump says, here's an
executive order and in crime and disorder on America's streets.
We have a response now from someone who works in
(25:59):
this world who will joinjoining us on the radio tomorrow.
Morning after nine o'clock, and that is Open Door Mission CEO,
doctor Candice Gregory. She'll be on here to speak for
herself and talk about some of the blowbacks she's gotten
since she's had this opinion. An email went out this morning,
(26:19):
and I've been texting with her since then. She's traveling today,
she'll be on tomorrow, but she says, here's a portion
of the email. I've received a flood of questions from
not just Open Door Mission staff, volunteers and donors, but
from my family, friend's, colleagues, and fellow partners about the
President's recent executive order. It marks a dramatic shift from
(26:42):
the federal approach we've lived under for over thirty years,
with the same mantras and homelessness in ten years, no
child left behind, rapid rehousing housing first. Honestly, I have
to say, says Candice Gregory. I have to say, it
reads like someone finally stood back, took a hard look
(27:03):
at the people and broken outcomes, and finally said enough,
this isn't working. Candice then provides those resume points that
most of us already know for thirty some years full
time ministry, working with those who are homeless, who are addicted,
(27:23):
who are mentally ill, who are deeply marginalized, and she says,
I've watched firsthand as entire systems failed the very people
they were meant to serve. Billions have been spent, countless
initiatives launched, and yet conditions have only worsened. People are dying,
and not just physically, but spiritually, emotionally and mentally dying
(27:47):
every day. So when I saw this executive order, I
felt a spark of something I hadn't felt in a
long time around public policy hope. Not because I believe
any single policy will be perfect, but because someone somewhere
in the leadership finally seems willing to admit that what
we've been doing isn't working. Many advocacy groups are pushing back.
(28:14):
I realize that my opinion is different and often not welcome.
When shelters turn people away because they're not housing ready,
when mental illness and addiction are treated as secondary people
die alone, in tense, just a block away from help.
This isn't about right or left politically, she says, I
(28:36):
don't carry water for any politician. I carry water literally.
That's part of the outreach of the mission. That's why
we did hydrate for hope on this radio station just
the other day. Candas sums up by saying, it's time
to try something different with open eyes, open hearts, and
a firm commitment to results that restore dignity and save lives.
(28:58):
We owe people that much. So Candice Gregory is not
immediately dismissing as uncarrying and inhumane the actions of President
Trump to allow communities the power to restore people's lives
and dignity by not allowing them to live on the streets.
(29:20):
And somehow people have decided that, I mean, look at
it this way. If you live on the streets, whether
or not you've got weather conditions like extreme heat this
week or extreme cold in other times of the year,
but you also have a criminal element that roams the streets,
subjects people to drug addiction, leaves mental illness unchecked. When
(29:45):
mental illness is unchecked, a lot of times, the result
of that is death. When you're emaciated because you're not
getting the nutrition you need, and especially for young people,
in these conditions, you're often abused, attacked, and affect as
a way of trying to get that which you need
to survive one more day. These are the realities of
(30:07):
those living on the streets. When you allow it to continue,
you're allowing all of those things. I just said. It's disgusting.
If someone were standing there in a street corner with
a gun to their own head saying I'll do it,
people will be like, someone's got to intervene, Cops need
(30:29):
to do something. But if someone's standing there in a
street corner with open sores and mental illness, unchecked, emaciated belly,
hasn't seen nutrition in months, they've got boils because their
skin is I mean, I don't want to be gross here,
but they're standing out there in these heat conditions, completely
(30:53):
dehydrated and just waiting to die so someone can give
them a couple of bucks so they can spend that
money on drugs or alcohol. That's no different than standing
there with a gun to your own head. Someone needs
to intervene and do something and not be demonized for
doing so. That's what this executive order is all about.
That's what we're empowering in our communities. And that's what
(31:15):
the CEO at the Open Door Mission is applauding right now,
and she's being demonized for it by people who aren't
doing the same things that she and her volunteers and
donors have been doing. We'll talk more about it tomorrow
morning at nine o'clock right here on eleven ten KFAV
when Candice Gregory will be here on this program.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Scott Byes News Radio eleven ten k FAD.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
America has Florida, Nebraska has Lincoln, not just as cool
place to live or visit, but also there does tend
to be a prevalence of stories of weird behavior coming
out of these places. So much so that Florida man
(32:05):
as in a lot of news stories, odd news stories
starting off with the phrase Florida man arrested for trying
to impregnate a sea cow or whatever. There's some of
that out there. Now, America has Florida, Nebraska has Lincoln.
In this case, it's not Lincoln man, it's Lincoln woman
(32:30):
arrested after wild scene. Lucy, I think you'll be the
judge of that. Let's see how wild this got. The
other night, Lincoln police were called to the intersection of
twenty fifth and P Streets. The story from Nebraska Public Television.
I thought we defunded them. Oh wait, we just talked
to them the other day. They're still around okay, good.
(32:54):
Lincoln Police were called to the intersection of twenty fifth
and p for a report of a woman with her
entire forearm inside of a fire hydrant. Do you want
me to repeat that?
Speaker 3 (33:11):
I think you should for some but I got it.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
But yeah, reports of a woman with her entire forearm
inside of a fire hydrant.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
It was like from the top from the side.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yeah. Well I thought you said you got it, because
I have a lot of questions. Was the fire height obviously?
Maybe she's it was open? If it was open, was
there water coming from it? If there was water coming
from it, was she trying to plug it? If it
was open and there wasn't water coming from it, What
(33:49):
did she think was in there?
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Treasure?
Speaker 1 (33:53):
I got I can't get my kit cat bar out
of here. Yeah, there's treasure in there. So police were
called for a report of a woman with her entire
for her entire for it's got to be in here somewhere.
What I don't know another way.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Of saying that this is up to the elbow right, yes,
unless it was like terri I mean, why would they
say forearm?
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Well, either she got her arm wedged in there and
couldn't move it, in such a way she could get
it back out, or the hole was pretty small and
her forearm was bigger and it went in but it
wouldn't come back out like like Chinese fingercups.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Okay, I'm I'm just I picture your forearm kind of
like the you know, the little fatty part here on
the side, not the whole.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Arm, not yours.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
You have.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
You have no fatty part on your body. So uh, this,
by the way, is just the beginning of this story.
We have not reached the conclusion of this story. Because
I said Lincoln woman arrested after wild scene. That's an
interesting first conversation. Well, hello, miss, what seems to be
(35:09):
the problem?
Speaker 3 (35:11):
What time did this happen last night? Was this?
Speaker 1 (35:13):
No, this happened the other day after midnight, So.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Way, you were there then, weren't you?
Speaker 1 (35:20):
No, No, that was there Tuesday. This happened Monday. When
officers arrived on the scene, they talked to this woman,
thirty one year old. Her name is Cassandra.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Cassie for friends.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yeah, they found her to be intoxicated and on drugs.
And in case you're wondering, like, was that through a
breathalyzer or toxicology? Was that only after you die, a
blood draw or anything. No, she just started talking and
(35:56):
she said that she stated this is again. According to
the story from Nebraska Public Television, LPD Lincoln Police Department
said she stated, quote, items were igniting inside her uterus.
You're welcome. Oh, items were igniting inside her uterus. And
(36:24):
I don't know if this was in response to you know, identity,
where do you live, How old are you? What's your
date of birth? Well, she said she was born in
the eighteen hundreds. I'm impressed that someone who is well
over two hundred years old could still have items igniting
inside her uterus.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Well rules out batteries.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Well, I don't know. They said that there were rubber
portions of the fire hydrant that were broken off beyond repair,
and the cylindrical cap was completely screwed off. Every opening
to the hydrant was exposed. We don't know if she
did it, but it is suspected that she was doing that.
(37:12):
I don't know why there wasn't water coming from it.
I guess I don't know how that works all the time.
But she gave officers a piece of masking tape from
her bra which contained meth I suppose as a peace offering.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
Is that a bribe?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Well, I don't know. I can only read the story.
LPD said. Cassandra gave officers a piece of masking tape
from her bra containing meth. She was arrested and booked
into the Lancaster County Jail.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
And that's it. That's all we have.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
What more do you want? There's a lot, Yes.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
I want to know a lot more than that. How
did she get the tops off?
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Well, I'm guessing that she probably if you're all hopped
up on meth plus, if you've got the wisdom of
at least two hundred and twenty five years, well, I
suppose maybe up to two hundred and twenty five Maybe
not quite all right, if you're if you're well over
one hundred and twenty five years old, you probably have
(38:19):
the experience to be I mean, taking a part of
fire hydrant, no big deal, now, I don't I don't
know why you would get your arm wedged in there, But.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
We charge somebody with that the myth.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yeah, the uh charge for intoxication, public intoxication. If she
didn't hurt the destruction of public property, it wasn't destroyed.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Well, I suppose she could be impeding safety if they
couldn't use it.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
If they're the fire hydrant, the rubber portions of the
fire hydrant were broken off beyond repair. I guess I
haven't played honor around a fire high in since I
was a kid. What rubber portions of a fire hydrant?
I'm guessing you have to unscrew parts of the fire
hydrant to get to the rubber portions.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
I'm thinking seals.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Yeah, you've got the seals the O rings on there,
but you'd have to have like a big plumber's wrench
to be able to do that.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
That's what I'm saying, get them off.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Maybe she just bit it off. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Is that what really happens to teeth? You?
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Yeah, people think that the you're on meth and your
teeth just kind of gradually disintegrate and fall off. No,
it's it's from trying to bite fire hydrants in half.
The story here is about dating apps, and there's one
new tool on the Tender dating app. Is that for
dating and meaningful relationships or well maybe for some people,
(39:50):
so for some it's other it's a meaningful relationship but
only for an hour at a time or whatever. There
is a there's an apparent new tool on tender that
allows people to among setting their preferences for potential matches
on this dating app. One of the preferences is height. Okay,
(40:18):
And there are some people, we'll call them short people
who are saying.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
I don't know, why is height any different than any
other preference you have?
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Well, I mean what, it's your preference, that's true, it
is your preference. Maybe your preference is I don't want
to date someone is too short or too tall. I
mean it could be that. It's also like, look, I'm
not interested in going out with lou Alcinder anytime soon.
The guy's too tall.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
But well, he's dead, isn't he?
Speaker 1 (40:52):
He better not be?
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Who is he?
Speaker 1 (40:54):
Kareem Abdul Jabbar?
Speaker 3 (40:55):
Oh yeah, okay?
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Why are you trying to kill Kareem?
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Not not?
Speaker 1 (41:03):
Who do you think you are? The Detroit Pistons or
the eighties Boston Celtics. Don't try and kill Kareem. No,
Kareem's fine. And if you want to date him, I
think he's married. I don't know. But there are those
who say that it's a bias against not so tall men.
On the site, one user laments it's over for short men. Now,
(41:25):
wait a second. Let's say you are on the dating
app and you have all your different preferences and you're
looking at a picture. Let's say you're a woman, Lucy.
Let's say you're a woman and you're looking for a
potential mate, either for the evening or for life, and
you find someone who seems to have all the characteristics
(41:46):
you like. You know, he's got that standard picture of
I'm out jogging, which shows that I care about health
and fitness, but I'm also petting a cat, which shows
I'm sensitive, and my cat likes to jog with me
while I pet it. And you're like this, this guy
seems sweet, and then you meet him and you find
out he's four five he's four feet five inches tall.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
If you have that much of you cannot date tall
or short, then you shouldn't even meet these people even online.
Just don't even get to know them well.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
The idea is is that someone would have a preference
not to date someone who's really short.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
Right, that's why you don't want to meet right, Right?
Speaker 1 (42:32):
But if was what if you really like him? Right?
But wouldn't it be wouldn't it be better if you're
a short guy, and you end up dating someone and
she's she's taller, and she's not interested in dating someone
who's a lot shorter. Wouldn't it be better to just
not get swiped on on the app as they find out? Like, Oh,
(42:53):
I like this guy. He seems okay, but he's really
short or he's really tall or whatever whatever preference. Maybe
it's you know, hair color. I don't know, But isn't
it better to know that and not know that in advance? Like, oh, okay,
I didn't get this match. You don't know that this
person rejected you because of your height as opposed to Yeah,
(43:13):
you're everything I'm looking for in a guy except your
fund sized, so I'm not interested. And she says it
to your face at your lunch meeting. Isn't it better
to just not know? To ignorance? Is bliss?
Speaker 3 (43:26):
Rights saying don't even swipe, don't even meet.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
When you meet for a lunch date and she says, oh,
very nice to meet you. You're Kevin. Do you need
a booster chair so we can have this lunch? I
can't wait.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
Why don't you start making fun of the really super
tall people?
Speaker 1 (43:42):
Right? You know? When the waiter comes over and brings
her a menu and brings you a kid's menu. That's
not a good sign probably for the health of this relationship.
So I think it's just better just not to know
that way, if you don't get the matches, it can
be like, oh, well, there's just a you know how
guys think.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
Right, No, I don't know anything about.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
If you're on a dating app and you're clicking on
the app to say, all right, how many matches does
this eligible bachelor have today, and you look and at
you find that it's none, Well, it's either well, obviously
the app's not working. There's some problem. You're calling tech support.
My app doesn't work. Well, we checked it seems like
it worked. Well, probably nothing, but lesbian's on there. That's
(44:30):
that's what guys think. That's how guys think. And it
helps them get by all of their personal shortcomings which
prevents them. Yeah, there helps them get by all their
personal issues that would cousse someone not to want to
click on them. I can't imagine being in this world
(44:54):
of the dating apps. I mean, on one hand, it's
got to be super easy, right, I mean, back when
we were young and single, you actually had to go
up and talk to someone it was horrifying. Hey, how
are you you wanna gonna buy you drinkers? Something? You
want to go out on Friday?
Speaker 3 (45:15):
And they didn't have to tell you they didn't want
short people or tall people. You could just see it.
You can see it in their eyes have to stoop.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
Overs as you were approaching them. You can see them
looking literally looking down on you. What's horror problem? It
probably doesn't help that I'm characterizing guys who might be
a little bit on the short side as dwarves and
elves and munchkins.
Speaker 3 (45:41):
But yeah, because it could just be what somebody that's
like like Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1 (45:52):
Yeah, he's not real.
Speaker 3 (45:53):
Nobody's going to scribe him.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
I mean, wouldn't it be awful? Tom? Is he married
right now? I don't know what his relationships.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
I don't think so. But I think he's got a girl. Okay,
I think he's involved. But he's only like five seven.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
I guess he's not very tall. I don't know. I've
never hung out with him. I'm available, you know, but
hanging out with Tom Cruise would be exhausting. Hey man,
let's hang out on Saturday. Great, what are we gonna do?
Maybe play a little golf? No, We're gonna hang off
of airplanes and then jump off of buildings and repel
down without a bungee cord, Like, well, how are we
(46:28):
gonna do that? Oh, We're gonna use a series of
bed sheets and belts, you know whatever, Like it would
be exhausting. We're gonna run in that weird upright, Tom
Cruise way all day just so we can stay in shape. Like,
can't we just jog? No? We sprint everywhere.
Speaker 3 (46:46):
Wouldn't it be fun to hang out with Vince Vaughan
though he's six four and he would just keep you
laughing all day.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
It's interesting that you know how tall Vince Vaughn is,
since he's your ideal man, he's your celebrity crush.
Speaker 3 (46:59):
He's just like he's got the dad bod, which is guy.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
Yeah, what do you suppose? Like, Hey, I got Tom
Cruise wants to hang out this weekend. All he wants
to do is is hang off the side of helicopters,
Like hang on to the skid of a helicopter as
they fly around town. Vince Vaughn says, there's a new
barbecue joint opening, and I heard they got great ribs. Hey, Vince,
what time.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
You could go with both all three of you guys
get together and you'd be like the middle guy.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (47:34):
Or you could just let them hang out and they
would look ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (47:37):
Yeah, you know who I'd be in that crew, Vince Vaughn,
Tom Cruise and me. Yeah, Scott Vorhees. You know we'd
be girls would be all over those two, and I'd
be that that side guy, just trying to hone in
on it, like Okay, well, I know Tom Cruise rejected
you for this weekend, but I'm available now.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
I can see what you would be doing. You would
be doing the girl that wants to meet them, that's
going all crazy over both of them, or one of
them and her friend that is being drug along to
this ridiculous and she's standing back there where their arms cross,
and when are you going to be done with this?
That's the girl you'd hone in on.
Speaker 1 (48:16):
I always talk to her, always did. I learned pretty
early on, back in those single days where you actually
had to talk to someone. Right, if there are three
girls and you're obviously interested in one of them, you
can't talk to her and exclude her friends, especially if
she has a friend that maybe you're not as attracted to.
(48:39):
You've got to show yourself as hey, I'm fun and
gregarious and i want to talk to all of you,
and I'm interested in all of you. And honestly, it
was easy because I love talking to people. So it
was never like all right, I'd I'll lower myself to
talk to this gorg over here. You know, there wasn't
anything like that, And in some there're at least one
(49:00):
instance I can think of. Or I started talking to
one girl probably got rejected pretty quickly and ended up
with another one who was fantastic. I didn't immediately see it.
I was blinded by the attractiveness of this girl who
wanted nothing to do with me, and I moved down
the line as like, all right, how about you anyone interested?
I mean, but my point is that I've always been desperate,
(49:24):
and no, I mean. My point is back in the day,
you had too literally, you had to face this in person,
face to face, talk to people, figure out a strategy,
come up with some reason why you're approaching this person
and talking to them in the first place. It was
it was fun, It was I honestly had a great
(49:45):
time with it, even all those times I got rejected
which was often.
Speaker 3 (49:49):
But what I was hearing you say was that if
I think back to my young dating days, if I
was out with my friends. So you're saying that the
guy who came to talk to me was talking to
me because I was the ugly of the three. No,
I'm not saying, Yes, that's exactly what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (50:05):
No, I'm not all right, I'm saying that today you
just have let's say you have the girl and her
her friends on this app, and you can just sit
there with your phone, not talking to anyone, and just
be like nope, nope, yep, nope, yep, yep, yep, nip, yep, yep, yep,
I'm getting desperate, yep, yep, yep, yep, nope, no, yeah, okay,
(50:29):
and then yep, and then you see which of them
because suddenly they get a notification that says, hey, this
guy over here wants to talk to you, and you're
like nope, and you don't even really know you've swiped
yes on so many because you have you forgot yes,
I know, and you forgot how many you swiped on
in the first place, and you come back with a
(50:50):
few are like, yeah, why not, let's give it a chance.
After all, my I'm forearmed, deep in this fire hydrant,
and Lincoln I could use some company. It's hard getting
back to a story from earlier in the hour. So
I mean, it's so easy these days. You can just
mark down preferences and find out who's like, yeah, what
the heck, man, It's so easy. And once my wife right,
(51:17):
once my wife comes to her senses and dismisses me
from her life, I'll be back out there and I'll
let you know how it's going.
