Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
All right, welcome to That's Bass Time. I'm your host,
Caleb Salvator. We are laughing our way through the end
of the day, and of course reporting from somewhere underground.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
It's a special show today. I told you we were
having some guests on and this guy made some waves,
like a week and a half ago, because he went
on a local radio station here in town that we're
not on, so we're not going to give a shout
out to. But he went on a local radio station
and did an interview and he announced he's running for office.
It was the first that a lot of people have

(00:37):
heard from him unless you listen to this show, because
he has done this show before. But ladies and gentlemen,
without further ado, we've got the legendary Chris Baker here
in studio with us.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
And it is a beautiful studio too. It is you
know what's missing, a barking dog.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
We could get the barking dog back in here.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Caleb's dog hates my guys.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
It's not just you. He hates everything. That my old dog,
she only hated black people, so this one barks it.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
I'm glad you got rid of that racist dog to.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
See this because you're running for office, you gotta you
gotta denounce the racist time.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
I believe that all people should have the equality with
old dogs. You will let me old dogs will be friendly.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Well, you got my mom's vote.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, that's a crazy story.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
That's a crazy So we can't there's a legal case,
so we can't talk about it out here.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
But yeah, I know it's uh, it's okay. So before
we get into idiots, you were telling me something about Miami.
I gotta hear this.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
So so before.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
We before we started here, before oh hi, before we
got started, Caleb and I were just yacking about doing
goofy radio stuff and bits and everything, and he said,
it's like War of the worlds. And I've never told
you this story. This is so when I arted in
talk radio in Miami, I was on on the weekends.

(02:05):
So this was Fidel Castro was alive and well and
he had just taken over Cuba and I'm kidding, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
They put these missiles down outside anyway, So he did
another one of those mass releases.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Right or he was threatening like, what was it Scarface?
The movie Scarface was that was kind of the the
backdrop of that whole cute which was pretty accurate, by
the way. Anyway, I lived in South Florida, so they
were talking, they're talking about having another Mary l boat lift.

(02:44):
So I was on w I O D for four
straight hours and then I was also simulcast to another
station W S U N I think for the last
two hours, right, so it's four total. The two last
hours are on in Tampa.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
So I set this up with the Miami audience. I said, listen,
let's tell Tampa when we go on in Tampa that
there's another Mario boat lift going on, and that we're
going to house all the We're going to start housing
Cubans in the Sundome, which I guess that's what they

(03:26):
called it, but it's where the Rays played baseball now,
because Major League Baseball used to hold Tampa hostage and
they would say, well, you know, the Cardinals might move
there unless they get a new stadium. They build them
a new stadium, and the people in Tampa year after
year were just let down. So I set it up

(03:50):
with the Miami audience. Y'all are out on your boats
and you're, you know, whatever you're doing, and you're seeing
all these people coming ashore and they're rounding them up,
and they're putting them on buses and heading them to
the stadium and Tampa. And then to make it even
more stupid, I said that. I said, I just got
a release from the immigration authorities and it says, at

(04:13):
the bequest of the President, if you can find twenty
seven guys who can play ball, yeah, major League Baseball
will give you a franchise. So and I got these people,
all these listeners in Miami are They're hysterical. One guy's
calling in, he's a baseball scout, yeah, and he's going, yeah,

(04:35):
I understand, there's a six foot the six foot pitcher,
he's twenty throws one hundred and thirty miles an hour
and just everything. And they're saying that. You know, they're
they're flying over them and people are shooting them all.
So the whole state blows up. And so I'm a comic.

(04:57):
So the only you know, I'm not really thinking about
this is radio. And radio is different than stand up
because in stand up, you start your act, you build
your act, and then you hopefully finish your act with
a big crescendo you kill and then they give you
twenty dollars.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yes, twenty and maybe a free drink. You might get
a meal, get a meal.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
You might get a meal, yes, like a free toe pie. Yeah,
you open up anyway. So it's it's insane. I mean
it is insane. Phones are going crazy, News stations are
calling our station. Where is this going? Where are you
getting a scoop? And then the best part, two best parts.
I was in the Coast Guard for four and a

(05:40):
half years, and without realizing it, I was doing it
on the anniversary of the Coast Guard.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
And so the stars align.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
So the Coast Guard had to cancel their anniversary party
because there were so many search and rests.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Excuse the incident, right, rescue.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Calls are coming in and uh, and I just think
it's funny as hell. So my program director calls me
on the hotline during her break. He goes, you know
you're gonna have to pull the plug on this. You know,
this is really getting out of hand. It's a great bit,
don't get me wrong, but it's getting a little out
of hand.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
So I'm like, okay, So I'd milk it for a while,
and I mean, it was just phones. And then I
was leaving lines open for people in Tampa because I
was predicting to the Miami audience. Yeah, I said, the
Tampa audience is going to be called get the Cubans over,
and you know, and I'm like, well, you can get
a baseball team.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, my grandma was.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
So finally I just pulled the plug and go, okay,
I want everybody listening. I none of this is made
the whole thing. Everything's made up. Everything's fake, none of
this is happening. And what I didn't realize is that
in radio, people listen and then they tune in, and
they tune in and they tune out. I'm used to

(07:08):
doing the comic thing of hey, how you do it? Everybody?

Speaker 1 (07:11):
And yeah, right.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
So the second best part is that when it's over,
I got all these news stations call. They all want
to talk to me because I'm I'm orson wells now.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
So anyway, then Senator Bob Graham, the Democrat senator from
the state of Florida, is on the hot line and
he wants to talk to me, and of course the
people in the newsroom are saying he's furious. It's furious
I wouldn't pick up the phone, and I'm like, oh, now, yeah, yeah,

(07:49):
So I pick up the phone, and I'm like, uh, hello,
and he goes, this is Bob Graham and I go, who,
Senator Bob brand Ego check. I know, I'm so mean anyway,
so he is, he's just furious, and he also, there's
a he has, like another guy. All those politicians when

(08:12):
you talk to them, especially when you're up on the
Senate level, they all have a media person that's you
know there, oh yeah, to keep him in check.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah right yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
So uh he's he said, are you are you the
guy doing that? And I go, yes, sir, I go,
my name is Chris Baker. I'm a I'm a host.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
And is this on air?

Speaker 3 (08:32):
No, this is off the actually standing in the newsroom.
Oh god, I wish it was on air anyway. So
he's saying, don't you think this is highly irresponsible? And
you heard this little voice in the back. Yeah, don't
you think it's highly which makes it even funnier to me,
And so everything he says, the little voice repeats, right,

(08:52):
this it's highly irresponsible. And I said, well, you know, senator,
he said, don't you think it's a journalist. This is
beneath the act. So a journalist, yeah, a journalist.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Of a journalist.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
It's like, listen, I said, Well, to be honest, Bob,
I'm not a journalist. I'm an entertainer, and so I
was entertaining people with theater of the mind. It's like
Dorson Wells when he did War of the World. There's
this little pause. Then Bob Graham, US senator, who can
send your kids to war? Right, says well, I don't

(09:28):
think that was a high point of his career.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
What that was his only member in the moment of
his career?

Speaker 3 (09:34):
I did, I go, what it's like the thing he
know him for? Well, I don't think.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
Well, listen, Einstein in the Theory of Relativity, just a
blip on.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
The Federal Communications Board, and I go, hang on second,
and I put him on hold and then I left.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
He sat there back. Yes, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
I was laughing too hard. I'm thinking, what kind of
jack ad doesn't know Orson Wells War of the World.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, you know, I mean.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
That the history of that and I'm not going to
get into it, but.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, I knew what that was in like fifth grade.
You had the book and everything.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yeah, committed suicide.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Oh yeah, Mia, do you know what that was?

Speaker 2 (10:17):
The War of the world's you know what war the
world is right like the time, you know the Tom
Cruise movie and everything. I know the movie it was, well,
it's it was a book, but it started from like
a radio show and the guy did a pretend broadcast
and then this is like in the twenties, so it's
not like there's cell phones or anything.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Oh yeah, the guys did a pretend broadcast that aliens were.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
So, yeah, the aliens are attacking the earth and you know,
all these people are getting wiped out. People committed soup.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Oh yeah, they flipped out. They thought it was real.
They thought we were being invaded by these giant like
hypot aliens.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
And I may have made people think there was a
Marrio bolt lift going on, but nobody killed them.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
So that's are you on next door? I felt like
you'd have fun on next door?

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Am I a loser?

Speaker 1 (11:00):
I'm a loser. I'm permanently banned from next door because
I don't even know what's It's like Facebook for old ladies,
where they'll go on and they'll post like that if they.

Speaker 3 (11:11):

Yeah, neat, look boom. As soon as I touch technology.

Speaker 1 (11:31):

(11:55):

Speaker 1 (11:56):
No, they they will sometimes on there.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
It's not as it's kind of wa away a good
voice on that.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
They'll but they'll complain about like leaves in the street.
And and uh. I saw one lady one time. She said,
there was a bull here. Here's all right, he's a
great one. I'm sorry, no, no, no, did you no?
Go ahead, here's a good one.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
A woman says, I'm looking for a sitter to come
to my home every Friday and watch my two kids
while I work. Yeah, let's go on social media and
look for me. Right, great idea.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Well, I seen one on there. There was an older lady.
She said.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
You know, I was driving through the neighborhood this afternoon
and I saw black teenager was walking and when I
started to follow him.

We started to run. Oh yeahs did. It's like this
lady's going three miles an hour following me down the street.
I'm gonna run zill man, you know.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
So No, So I got on there and I made
a fake account and I posted that I had two
Sheriff's COUMP deputies coming to my house and tell me
that my ex wife and her new husband had hired
an assassin to have me killed, and that there was
a hit out on me. And I'm talking hundreds and
hundreds of comments. The neighborhood is up in smoke. They're thinking,

(13:17):
they think there's an assassination plot out on someone, and
they're arguing about whether.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
It's real and what I did to deserve it.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
And then there's this one old lady comes in and
she's like, what is wrong with you people? This poor
man is scared and lonely and you're on here talking
about al he's a liar.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
You should go back on there and have a look

I called my brother who's in the Highway Patrol, and
they can't find your name in the system. Rick Moore
is in the system.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Now they're looking for us a whole new fake. I

five or six of them. Oh yeah, oh yeah, I

Speaker 3 (14:24):
I should really dive into that craziness.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Next door just any you should get on it after
you leave here. Yeah, you should, you should.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
So okay, so you you you've caused now international incidents
with countries were not exactly friendly with.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
And so now you're running for I'm gonna be honest.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
You're running for an office that I did not know
existed until I found out you were running.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
For exactly well, I made the whole thing up. And
if he would like to contribute to the Chris Baker
campaign for best Guy ever? Yeah, you know, uh gosh,
so in my new position, right, So here's how this
whole thing came about.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
I got bounced out of the radio world and then
tried the streaming world, and we just kept getting kicked
off the air. Mysteriously, you didn't. I'm not sure exactly
how that come about. That work.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
No, I kicked once a month.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Oh good. Yeah, well, yeah, you got to put up
up front.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
He by the way, he gets kicked off YouTube once
a month.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
Most people, they get kicked off once it's over, it's over, John.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
So anyway, so a couple of things led to this,
you know, spending twenty five years as a radio talk host,
watching politicians and looking at the stupid crap they do
and being able to tell them, you know, hey, this
is a really bad idea and you're gonna do it

(15:58):
and it's not gonna work, and you're an idiot, right,
So that happened. Then my best friend, Chris Tritico, his
daughter was murdered by a sixteen year old kid. This
story is not it's an amazing story. So Maria Tritticko
was a girl. She was an artist, a metal artist,

(16:20):
and did amazing stuff. No, and well, she traveled all
over the world learning about art therapy, and her whole
drive was that she wanted to help, you know, traumatize people,
especially prisoners. You know, give them, you know some art.

(16:41):
Well they are I don't know what art therapy really is.
I guess people chill out after I'm making this cool
thing and distracts them from whatever. But anyway, Maria was
just an amazing girl. And and I knew her when
she was just a kid. And I remember when she
first went to college and her dad said, well, you
know she's going to be she wants to be a

(17:04):
art therapist. Yeah, okay, And she's very talented. She does jewels,
she makes jewelry. She made amazing jewelry. But she was
the sweetest girl ever. And she was going to college
in Chicago. I'm not sure which college is in Chicago, but.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
Chicago was probably Chicago h Loyola, Northwest Western those anyways,
so she's there and at night she would go down to.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
That that nasty, tough, crazy jail they had there.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Okay, yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
Can't think of the name of it. But she would
go there every night for free and just work with
guys and teach them how to make stuff and that
kind of stuff. So her career, she ended up taking
over this big philanthropic art therapy institute in Palm Beach, Florida,

(18:01):
northern West Palm Beach, Florida, and I used to live there. Yeah,
so her and her, so she had a fiance, and
her fiance and her were they would go to Singer
Island Beach and I used to go there all the time,
and so I know exactly where they were. And so
they would, you know, he'd be playing frisbee with the dudes,

(18:23):
and it was like a Docker's commercial from all the
hot girlfriends and fiances are chilling, you know, hanging out
of the beach having I don't know, fruit stuff or whatever,
and the guys are playing frisbee frisbee and going crazy.
So this sixteen year old kid sees a rival gang

(18:44):
member and pulls out a gun and shoots five times,
and one of those bullets went between two buildings, through
a stand of trees without hitting anything and hit her
right in the head.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Oh my god, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
Killed her, one of them. They kept her alive long
enough for Chris and Debbie to fly from Houston to
West Palm Beach. He called me on the way to
the airport. Yeah, tell me, and you know, we're all stunned.
And so they went and uh, she was an organ donor,
so they kept you know they kept things going.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, I know this story is getting.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Really long, but it's a it's an amazing story about
an amazing family. And so her kidney is keeping one
of Chris's close friend's wife alive.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Oh really yeah?

Speaker 3 (19:35):
Okay, because I didn't know this, but when they donate,
when you when you have a family member that donates,
the first thing they ask you is do you know
anyone who needs an organ?

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Oh? Because you're a close match.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Yeah yeah, because if they put your kid's organ in
there and it saves their life, you can hold that
over their head for.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Itmly sorry, guilt trip. Yeah, I mean I saw it still.
I saw a story about her can't give me a ride.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
I saw a story about a sixty year old rock
star that died and was an organ donor and somebody
got his liver, And I'm like, what a shit?

Speaker 1 (20:10):
What can I take this worse than that?

Speaker 3 (20:14):
I ask me, I don't know what the problem is, liver.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
That's like your targets totaled and you're like, you're gonna
enjoy your ninety two Ford Pinto. We catch.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
My liver's got a pull start anyway. So, uh so
I learned a lot about uh, and he actually is
involved now helping these people who take the organs. I
understand that you can't just give everybody the bum's rush,

(20:53):
you know, yeah, great, she's donating organs. Okay, great, you
guys say goodbye, all right, out, get out. We got
to get her up, you know. And so that was
very moving. But he was murdered by a sixteen year
old kid, right, And I went there for the sentencing,
and this kid's just sitting there and about you know,
his mom was there, and there were about three or
four other people there, or his grandmother was there and

(21:18):
she actually turned him in grammar. So her and the
tritecos have, you know, they they got to know each
other very well. So at one point in the trial,
and Chris, Chris is a a top defense attorney in
the countries. He's probably top ten. And he was on

(21:41):
the Timothy McVeigh trial. I mean, he's done a lot
of high profile stuff. Greatest guy in the world.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
We're going to bill him for this ad We.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
Should because he's awesome. But anyway, at one point in
the trial, Chris is following it and in fact, the
prosecutors figured out who he was. He didn't tell them
he was an attorney. Never said a word, They just
figured it out. So this kid's court appointed defense attorney

(22:09):
wasn't showing up for hearings, and so Chris is a
defense attorney, so he sees where this is going. You know,
that kid, he didn't get a fair trial. You didn't
have proper representation. All right, he gets to go. Yeah,
So Chris flew to West Palm Beach to his next
hearing and represented.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Him, represented the guy that shot his kid. Yeah. I
don't know that was legal. I thought it was like
a conflict of interest as well.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
He went in there just to represent him, to appeal
to the judge to appoint better counsel.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Okay, yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
Yeah, but he said it's the hardest thing he's ever
done in his life.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
But so watching my friend go through that and this
new Juvie Justice Center here in Omaha, they told everybody, right,
they told everybody, Oh, we're gonna build it. It's going
to be so good. The children are gonna once they
go in there, they're gonna come out they're gonna be perfect,
and they're gonna be great.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
And I watched them build it. It was across the
street from where I used to do comedy at one
of the clubs I used to Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Yeah, so, but they told the public, Okay, we're gonna
we're gonna raise raise taxes a little bit. It's Little's
spend one hundred and fourteen million dollars building this building,
and in the building will be the juv Justice Center,
which is basically a jail.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
The jail is built kind of like a really high
dollar version of a McDonald's playroom. Right, there's seriously, there's cells,
and there's lounging areas. Yeah, giant screen TVs.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Will it be cleaner than a McDonald's playroom?

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Oh? Totally. No ballpit, so it's gonna ask That was
my follow up, the no ballpit. Probably parents, never let
your kid get in the ball pit. No, don't ever. No,
you know, it's like a horror movie that's gonna come
out soon. Just someday, it's just gonna.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Be ball ballpit. Yeah, like monsters.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
Coming out of the ball pit late at night.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
They used to talk about snakes being in him and stuff.
I remember that was the rumor when I was a kid,
find a snake. My mom was freaking out because there
was some email that was when email chains were a thing,
and that there's snakes and needles or something in the
Devius guy.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Yeah, that's the honey you order of milkshake. I'm gonna
unload the snakes get us from next of Ken. Do
you ever see that Movietrick Swazey, Oh, the dumbest movie ever.
I love bringing that movie. It's the stupidest movie ever
about Patrick Swayzey who's a coon ass from the Hills

(24:42):
and he becomes a Chicago detective and then a relative
of theirs gets murdered, so that means the family's got
to come get retribution feud. Oh, so, my favorite scene
in the whole movie is when they are literally loading
up a cool bus with snakes to take to Chicago

(25:06):
to fight the mob.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Brilliant.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
It's got a scene in there where they're, you know,
they're packing up and get ready to go to Chicago
the mob, and there's all these women making these you
know sandwiches with the homemade bread and breads like six
inches thick, and they're making you know, large sandwiches and
putting them in a picnic basket or a red check
napkin and stuff. Yeah. Those yeah, and they're loaded up

(25:31):
and they got they got these aquariums all full of snakes,
a bus full of snakes. Take on the mob. Anyway,
back to Chris Trading cut. So, sixteen year old kid
murdered the daughter. I go to the sentencing. They give
the kid fifty years day for day. The judge was
very specific, so there's no good time bullshit. And then

(25:51):
he said he's going to write a letter because a
kid gets a guaranteed parole hearing at thirty years, so
he will. So anyway, the judge said, I'm gonna write
I'm gonna put a letter in here telling whoever reviews
this case, do not let this guy out. Yeah right, wow,

(26:15):
so it was really bizarre. Yeah, well, they were doing
victims impact statements, and his buddies or relatives whatever, they're
in the back of the room, laughing, cutting up, talking shit,
making jokes. Deputies had to go back there four times, Yeah,
telling him to shut up.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Yeah, that's hilarious.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
It gets fifty years. Yeah, he didn't flinch, his buddies
didn't flinch. Nobody flinched. Judge said, boom. Courts adjourned. They
walk out. I'm looking they're walking out. They barely even
look back at him.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah, no, they didn't care.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
And they're out in the hallway waving in another buddy
of theirs who's in cuffs, who's one floor down. Yeah,
they're waving to him, and so I just walked over
and I said, you know, I introduced myself, and I said,
I got to ask you. He got fifty years, didn't
even flinch. You guys, didn't even flinch.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
And then he walked out.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Of there like it was just another day. Yeah, that's
that's a little weird to me. And the guy just
looks at me and goes, well, we're gonna either be
dead or in prison, and then they turn around and
walked off. Right.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
At least they're optimistic.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Well, you know, at least they got choices.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yeah, they do. You know, they have options.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
You know, That's what my dad taught me when I
was a kid. He told me to make sure have
a plan, you know, try to have you have your
number one plan, and then you got your back.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Prison's probably back up planned to death.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Back up yeah, death, playing back up prison.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah, I did. Like, so they're aware of it and
they're just cool with it. That just doesn't make any
sense to me, I don't know, they don't know any better.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Yeah, right, And I know that some people might say
that this is very insensitive of me to say that,
but it's not. I don't know any better now in
my current position. Yeah, I deal with these guys every day,
all day, ten hours a day. Yeah, and it would
it'll it's to me. This has been the greatest experience, Yeah,

(28:13):
because I got a view that people don't get. And
I'm telling you a man, the people that come in
that building, you know, the you, the kids like the
last and the last I would say, four days, I've
seen six kids brought in that had leg shackles on them.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Yeah, and I mean juvenile violence is becoming a real
problem in this huge problem.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
They had another fourteen year old kid indicted for murder
just two weeks ago, fourteen fourteen.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Fourteen years old. Do you know what I was doing
at fourteen? Not murdering people? Now, I mean nothing productive,
but not murdering people.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
Losers have been shoplessing from the mall O.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
But I wasn't killing people, you know, But yeah, that's nuts.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
Well, so if you take like people, ask me, you know,
what do you like for those of you that don't know.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
All right.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
So here's what I'm doing now, work for the Sheriff's Department,
and uh I do a courthouse and civic center security.
I'm a security professional profess, got a badge, you know.
And they don't just get anybody. You gotta be the
cream of the crop of old fuckers this job.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
So I've seen them at the Sarpye County Courthouse. Man,
those guys there.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
Oh no, those guys, Oh no, no, no, Boddy's that
old where I work. Those guys ancient, our old guys.
Make fun of those.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Guys as they didn't know they were hiring World War
One vets, you.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
Know, saying trenches. Oh yeah, anyway, So I see it
all day every day. People show up for court in
their pajamas, pajama pants and slippers. Now I can see
pajama pants and tennis shoes. Sure, all right, So I'm

(30:12):
not saying, yeah, I think it's good people go to court,
you know, where certain decisions come down that truly.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Affect your life.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
I think you might want to go in there looking
a little better, right than pajamas.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
Not a suit, but you know, maybe it's some jeans. Nice,
say a suit, Frank, Yeah, a suit. Yeah, if you
kiss your god. So not everyone has a suit. Fourteen
year old murderer probably doesn't have a suit.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
No, they get them a suit, Oh they do. Yeah,
their attorneys will buy it for public defender. They'll pick
up that tab for them. Oh really. Oh yeah. So anyway,
I've seen this, I've chronicled this for all these years
as a as a talk host, and now every prediction

(30:58):
I've ever made comes true. Like people come in the
courthouse and this is the big thing that I get
from it, even bigger than you know, kids come in.
They have no social skills. You'll see mom or grandma
and four or five kids come in. They just rereak
of weed. Why would you show up in a courthouse

(31:19):
freaking weed?

Speaker 1 (31:21):
That That's just something I've never been able to comprehend it.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
But they don't care, right because really nothing really happens
to them. But the biggest thing that I see that
is such a It's an eye opener every day. Right,
people will come in and they really need help, they
need something, right, They really need their government to do

(31:47):
what government's supposed to do. And sometimes you know, people
come in and they throw their phone and metal and
stuff like that. But the ones that get me are
the people who come in and they empty their pockets
and it's like a plastic comb and a couple of
throat loss anges.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah, that's it. That's it.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
That's all they got, you know, that's you know, if
you think about it, Wow, yeah, that's but and you see,
they just flow in, right, And so all these people,
a lot of these people are broken. Sure, you know,
we get a lot of people who are they have
they have they're they're mentally whacked.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Well, we're all broken to some degree. Some people just
never learn how to put the pieces back together, you
know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (32:34):
You know that. And then again there's people that just
keep getting squatted. Yeah, you know, one crappy thing happens
and then they're like trying to get through that, and
then here comes something else down the road, you know,
you see that. And man, sometimes people come in there
and they smell so bad. A lady ah yeah whatever,

(32:59):
a lady was on her way to a specific room
and then didn't make it.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Oh no, oh yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
But here's so it's also funny. I mean, I have
a good time goofing around, especially with the brothers that
come in, you know, it's just we we get along
and we make a lot of jokes and good frown.
But I will tell you a funny story that happened
last week. So a woman came in. It's very rude,
very rude, very entitled, mad at me about everything. I

(33:30):
didn't do anything to her. I'm just you know, making
sure she's not bringing a gun or anything. So she
comes in and she's just nagging me because she had
a she had a weapon that she can't bring it
into the courthouse. So we made her. I made her
take it out. She comes back and she's cussing me out,
and I'm just, you know, she's nothing I could do, right,

(33:55):
I don't really care. She's just she's her. I'm me.
I'm good. So she goes in and I mean, she
was to call me ball headed this guy and you know,
stupid ball headed white cracker. You know it was. It
was great. But she's wearing white sweat pants and like
off white sweat like hoodie, and so she's walking away

(34:18):
towards some elevators and I look and she's got a
poop stain, right yurt. I mean, there was no question
of what that was. And I'm just like, man, no,
I'll never unsee that. So the best part was later
she comes out and I'm still standing there and she

(34:41):
just starts yelling at me ball headed, stupid, ball headed
be and uh and she kind of paused for a second.
I said, well, you know, ma'am, I am a ballheaded guy,
but I don't have a ship stain in the back
of my pants. All the other guys I work with
are just dying laughing. Two deputies just ran. They didn't

(35:02):
want to be anywhere near Oh no, hysteria.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
For that through the violin.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Well, you know, so I said, It's true. She was rude,
and I didn't yell at her. No, I just go, well,
you have a ball at a guy, but I don't
have a big ship staying.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
I mean, if anything, you were just warning her. You know,
it's a courtesy, you know what.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
I was giving her perspective.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Yeah, yeah, right, I would want to know if I
had a ship stand on my pants, you know, and.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
You know what else, she can wash those pants? Yes, right,
always going to be bald. I think I'm the guy losing.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
Out, that's true.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
No, but you know, you come in contact with all
these people and they're and even the really rude people
and stuff. There's still people, you know, and and nobody's
coming in there having their best day. So so anyway,
Juvie Justice And when I was on the air in
eighteen and nineteen at KFAB, they were going to build

(36:03):
that Juwy Justice Center, and I'm looking at it and
I'm you know, I'm talking to the police Association, I'm
talking to the Sheriff's department. I'm talking all these guys
who deal with juveniles every single day.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:15):
And the whole beef was they wanted to they want
they had a facility that holds one hundred and ten
and then they wanted to build this new facility because
apparently here's the big problem with juvenile crime.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Excuse me.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
After a juvenile murders someone, yeah, if you could just
house him closer to the courthouse, Yeah, that seems to
apparently make a big difference.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
Oh of course, Yeah, it's a difference.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
Like that guy. Yeah, I killed that guy and then
he's right next to the courthouse. Goes oh, man, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
I understand.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
I shouldn't have done that.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
I understand now rehabilitation.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
I didn't have a long ride to really think this out.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Yeah. In other words, there are some contractors that needed
some money.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
Well, you know, I don't know they needed well, they
needed a faccause they now I mean they did need it.
They needed a part they needed like they needed extra
space for the public defenders. You know, because as this
is ironic, and I brought this up during the discussion
about this juvenile justice center. As a county grows, more

(37:19):
criminal types come in too, and they get arrested. So
you're gonna need more public defenders. You're gonna need more prosecutors,
You're gonna need all the stuff victims advocates. They have
an office for victims advocates up there, so you're gonna
need more of that. So that's part of the building
they built. Then they also added as part of this,

(37:40):
and this was what made everybody so excited about it.
Allegedly was ever going to have a juvenile justice center
and it was only going to have sixty beds. Currently
they're averaging eighty to ninety.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Yes, I know, that's local government and action if I've
ever heard of even better.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
So the lady I'm running against, Mary Anne.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Borgison, she is the InCom She's been there.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
Thirty years, and this is the kind of stuff that
happens when you've been there thirty years. Here's what she
well she list is a republic. Yeah, she's a moon bat. Okay,
so so she decides, okay, we're gonna build this her
and the Sherwood Foundation, Susie Buffett. Yeah, right, so I

(38:27):
know what happened here. But so what they did was
they got together, we're gonna build this facility. And then
they are quoted as saying, we wanted to build a
smaller facility so that we could nudge you know, the
communists love the nudge.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Oh, yes, we're gonna.

Speaker 3 (38:44):
Nudge the county officials into not incarcerating so many juveniles.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
So what Yeah, so there's they're going to make a
smaller one. Yes, and that's gonna get rid of crime,
is basically what that's.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
It's, well, it's not gonna get rid of crime.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
This is going to release They're going to.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
Bring in a lot of these magic programs that at
the time I'm asking tell me about this programming and
these programs, where are they in place? Where are they working? Show? No,
we can't show you. Well, so where where are they
doing this? Well? You know, uh, these these programs are
being created by experts, and that was the rap for

(39:22):
the whole thing. So we're depending on magic programs that
don't exist to make everybody safer. The children will be
more productive, and we'll go around robbing people.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
So if a kid murders or raped somebody and the
beds are full, then just right back out onto the street.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
Oh yeah, dude, ankle monitors. I see guys come in
sometimes they have two two.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Look.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
I'm not Look, I'm a I'm a born again Catholics,
So I'm not like, I'm not under the impression that
people can't be redeemed, right, you know, if a kid
robs the liquor store at sixteen or whatever, I think
he can be fixed.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Right. But there's also but the believing in redemption doesn't
mean people shouldn't suffer consequences.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
Right, Redemption is doesn't mean no consequence, right, you know. Well,
so they so to build it. They formed a nonprofit,
which the woman I'm running against, Mary Ann Borgeson, would
be the top. The head of all is the head

(40:29):
of it all. Right. So then the Sherwood Foundation says,
we'll give you ten million dollars. Yeah, five for construction,
five for magic programs that don't exist. Yeah, So then
they start building it and it's all being built through
the nonprofit and so they're in charge of it. They're
ignoring the police, they're ignoring juvenile you know, fit court officials,

(40:53):
they're ignoring prosecutors. All these people are telling them, you
already have ninety kids in the other facility. You can't
build a sixty bed facility. They instead said, no, we
know better. I don't know if you know this. My
father is one of the richest men in the world.
That gives me some credibility. Oh yes, and you know,

(41:14):
and this is what I say. And I know you
have seen this too. I think politicians when they get elected,
like we're show biz guys, we do shows. Yeah, okay,
so we're used to people saying, hey, you're great. People
that run for office are not used to being told
how great they are. So now you got this. And again,

(41:38):
this is just my whole theory. But I'm pretty good
at this. My wife will tell you that I'm always right.
But Mariam Borgeson's now hanging with Susie Buffett and they're
sitting there and they're putting together their ideal facility and
it's going to be great and she's hanging with Susie
and they're all hanging out together. So they build it.
The total for that out of the one hundred and fourteen.

(41:58):
Am I boring you? By the way, you're playing with
your hair?

Speaker 1 (42:01):
She's always doing this. Oh, this is what helps me.
I always do this during the show. It helps me concentrate.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
Are you are you concentrating?

Speaker 1 (42:09):
She's very laser focused right now. Yeah, that helps. Playing
with my hair helps me. She's going to chime in
in about five minutes and say the most racist thing
you've ever heard. That's normal, and I was kidding. That's
her stick now.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
So they built this, ignored every expert, and now the
county is on the hook for twenty seven million dollars.
Sweet of a building, and it's empty. I see it
every day. Yeah, it's empty. There's nobody in it. Yeah,
there's nothing going on. And to make it even better,
it costs Douglas County about three hundred thousand dollars a year.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
Just to run the utilities.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
To run the utilities and pay a guy to walk
around a flush toilet.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
How do I get that job?

Speaker 3 (42:58):
Yeah? Too, Well, the electric bill cuts into it. Something else.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
Dumb.

Speaker 3 (43:03):
If you drive by at night, every light and the
whole place is on.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
So just run it constantly.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
Yeah, it's just constantly up and running. See I did.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
I never understood my dad until I got a house
in my own, And now I'm that guy that's throwing
a fit about the twelveth cents you're.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
Gonna add to the light bull or the light bill
you leave that light. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
Absolutely, that stuff adds up.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
So in order to service the debt, taxpayers are on
the hook. I know I've got the number. I have
the numbers all right here in my phone. But I
don't want to just start scrolling around, you know, But
I know that. So what I've done is in my research.
I do extensive research me too. I did it That

(43:48):
JUV Justice facility is like twenty one percent of the
whole project. Yeah, so twenty seven million out of one
and fourteen. So when you're servicing debt on the one
hundred and fourteen, two million, over almost three million dollars
a year goes to service the.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
Debt for an empty building.

Speaker 3 (44:11):
Wow. Yeah, And it's been like that for three years, wow,
and yesterday, just to give you an example of how
much they don't care. They're all moonbats on that whole
boards full of moonbats. So they didn't even have their
normal Tuesday meeting yesterday because you know, this is just
not really a pressing issue. Oh well, I'm Chris Baker

(44:33):
and I'm running for her seat. She's been there thirty years.
This is what happens when people serve for thirty stinking years.
And I'm ready. I want to go in there and
try to change that mentality. I don't want to go
fight people, you know, but I do want to go
in and bring this new perspective, have new eyes on stuff.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
Who can vote for you? Is it anyone in Douglas?

Speaker 3 (44:56):
So I'm in District six.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
I have to figure what you do?

Speaker 3 (44:58):
You register at my house? Right, register to vote at
my house? I don't know. Is that illegal?

Speaker 1 (45:03):
I don't think you can.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
My friends that Act Blue told me it was perfectly
fine to have seven hundred people living.

Speaker 1 (45:10):
Can tell you this. Dan Osborne there during that.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
Dan Aliceboorne was there. Well, you know, Dan Osborne and
his union supervised building that new wing on the Baker House.

Speaker 1 (45:18):
Course they did.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
Well.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Did his wife's consulting business specialize that one hundred and
fifteen thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
I don't know that.

Speaker 3 (45:27):
Well, here's what I know about Dan Osborne. I loaned
him my spy pin when I was helping them during
the Kellogg strike. That worked out well though, don't didn't it.
Oh yeah, they're getting rid of it really well. So
I was helping him and a nice guy if you
ever met.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
Oh yeah, he did the show guy, and I loaned.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
Him my spy pin. I never got it back. Oh
spy pin you put in your pocket and you just
clicked the top of it. And when you're talking to people,
they don't know you're recording everything. Really Oh yeah, high
def running on TV.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Huh yah, yeah, huh I got uh No, he did
the show. We were the first ones that interviewed him. Good.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
When he was in Nobody took him seriously and they
were scrounging for interviews before I think the d n
C got on board. He's a very nice guy.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Yeah, very He's got some shady financials that are going on,
but you know, other than that, it's a very very
friendly guy.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
I don't know anything about that. No, I'm not running
against him, No, you're good. Yeah, I'm running against I
want I want to replace Mary Anne Borgison, because I
just watched for so long these politicians they just they
just loot taxpayers, and then they come in and they
talk to you with a big smile.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
Yeah they're good.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
You know what, You're right, we should we need to
get that JUBI Justice Center up and running possible, You're right,
and then there that's over, you know, and then I
watch I said it. First of all, i'd never seen her. Yeah,
I've lived here. I used to be the highest rated
talk host in town.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
Never met I've heard number. Because Vorhees was talking on
the air the other day about how he's never gotten
her on despite numerous requests, and why don't you send
an email see if she'll do our show? Yeah, do that,
I'll talk.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
Here resp I'm a woman, Yeah absolutely.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
You should sign it off as me a woman of color.

Speaker 3 (47:22):
Oh yeah, a lot of color.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
Yeah, color, just sight off as that that way, she's
a racist if she writ.

Speaker 3 (47:30):
And go hi, uh, count, what is it a commissioner
that you gotta know what, Joe, you're running for. I
know it's what they call it, the board. And you
said something so funny in the very beginning when you
said I didn't even know that even exists. No, You'd
be surprised how many people that I've said that to

(47:51):
and they go, what do they do?

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Yeah, what do you mean?

Speaker 3 (47:54):
What do they do? Kidney? Yeah, look at you look
at your house payment lately.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
That's what they Yeah, that's what they do. So are
you in charge of how much we get taxed at?

Speaker 3 (48:04):
Or I don't? The board controls the tax levee. Okay, right,
So what I want to try to do is I
want to try to I want to get in there
and be an influence for UH to quit wasting money. Yeah,
first and foremost, but also we gotta have You gotta

(48:25):
have accountability. Right If you say I'm gonna spend one
hundred and fourteen million bucks and we're gonna build this
JUBI Justice Center, you need to know number one when
it's gonna be built, number two when it's going to open, Yeah,
and basically start operating. Those are the things you have
to have. They didn't and here you want to you
love this. They they raised the head, they did, they

(48:50):
raised the levee, so that raised your taxes of course,
and they didn't budget for people to work there.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
So then can you believe that?

Speaker 1 (49:03):
So now I gotta raise it again, could Yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
Well so so again I'm doing.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
Yeah, they're all volunteer work.

Speaker 3 (49:10):
Well, no, the magic programs are going to work so well.
The kids you're just gonna stop by on their own.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
You know.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
This is starting the ball and then hit a punch clock,
you know. And I was here.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
This is starting to sound a lot like my wife's
creative budgeting about how we just find the money to
go out to eat four nights a week and go
to TJ Max and buy all the Christmas decorations every year.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
And it just it'll just it's it's fine, it'll just
show up a couple.

Speaker 3 (49:36):
Yeah, it just it's there for twenty six years.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Don't worry about it. It'll show up. It'll that's what
it sounds like to me. It shows up from you.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
I don't see it.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
Yeah, she doesn't see it.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
She's got these magic When we first started dating, she
told me, uh, and I quote, she wanted some jewelry
for her for her birthday. And you know, I'm on
the road, some broke as shit, and she tells me,
and I quote, that's what credit cards are for.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
That's bingo. Yeah, that's the problem.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
That's the goal. Is to go into debt and pay
it back on time. Yeah, so you can get a
higher credit.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
Score, so I get more debt.

Speaker 3 (50:20):
You can go further into debt than.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
A fun scam they run. Nope, I got my house
and my cars. We're done. I'm not. We're done. No
more loans, no more loans. But I gotta pay for
all the city's loans now I can't afford to get anymore.

Speaker 3 (50:36):
Well, you're on the hook.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
Yeah, you know what.

Speaker 3 (50:38):
I'll dig up.

Speaker 1 (50:39):
That because I want to know how much I have
to pay for all this stuff, because I I grown
every time I pay the mortgage of how much of
it goes to property tax? Here it's insane.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
Well, once you do interest, you do interest, you do
all your property taxes, insurance, all that stuff, like five
hundred bucks or your house payment actually goes a print.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
It's like it's like putting the drop of water from
an eyeglass and or an eyedropper into a bath tub.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
It'll fill up a ventures fire.

Speaker 3 (51:08):
Hey give me that eye dropper exactly.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
That's how it feels. She doesn't make this, so she
you don't know how it feels. That's every time.

Speaker 3 (51:15):
Yeah, big, big, big tanker plane one guy, Well, eye dropper,
that's how it feels. Yes, that's well, have a lot
of water here you go.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
Yeah, that that's the whole other story going on there.
And that's uh.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
So so this time away from UH radio and UH
and and now I've been working there for three years,
right and it's it's it's almost like, well, I'll tell
you what it has done for me. And I'm sure

(51:55):
you you kind of hit this as well. I'm never
really and this is I'm not saying this against Mary
Anne Borgson, who's been there for thirty years and who
would like to replace. Yeah, I'm making a generic comment.
But don't you think it's interesting that right now? And
I believe that God is shining the light on people

(52:16):
who lead us, because if you just watch, those are
some of the dumbest people.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
They're so stupid.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
They're stupid. They don't know, like, they don't know. They
can't say anything unless somebody has said here's what you
should say.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
Yeah, right, they are.

Speaker 3 (52:33):
I mean, we got these people that are in charge
and they're just dopes. They're just dopes.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
They're over educated. Someone once told me all the dumbest
people I know went to college and I'm like, yep,
that's one hundred percent right. Yes, they're over educated and
a lot of them are degenerates, alcoholics, drug addicts, adulterers,
just and I'm not going to drop any names because
I don't like it sued, but is a lot of

(53:00):
just I mean, if these people lived in a trailer park,
we'd be calling them trash. You know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
Well, they didn't have their office, they would probably live
in a trailer They probably want you money that if
you had two cars with a flat tire each one,
that that guy living in the trailer park would their
their kid running around in a diaper, would have that
tire change quicker than yes, right in Some congressman, well,

(53:30):
I believe we have a flat tire. Put a committee together.
This flat tire Trump has ruined the roads.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
I am Tom Becka.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Yeah, that after three months the committee would find out
that there was no tire to begin with, or something
like that.

Speaker 3 (53:48):
Really wasn't any tire. You don't even have a call.
It could have been flat.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
Exactly exactly that You're one hundred percent right there. It
is as high as we hold the level of esteem
we hold toward these people. They are just the bottom
of the barrel of society.

Speaker 3 (54:06):
Well, I mean they're just there are people that are
really good at at saying the right thing to get elected.
And I'm just now that I'm not on the radio, right,
And I mean I saw it when I was on
the radio, but now that I'm not, I'm able to
put it more in focus because I see it and
I'm thinking, damn it, I wish I was on the radio.

(54:28):
So much fun to make fun of that guy. Right,
But yeah, these people get elected and then they're just
there's nothing like I'll give you a great example, county board.
This is a county board example. I think that if
I'm on the county board, I could be very helpful
and bring a new perspective. Okay, So one of the
county board members, Garcia, whatever he's got, like, I don't know,

(54:49):
twenty degrees. Yeah, right, he's a Divinity degree, very educated,
saying so the sheriff. So let me, let me let
me make a point quick before I tell this. So
what I did is I I did a study, or
not a study, but I did research, and I took

(55:12):
excuse me, facilities of the same size in cities that
had the same relatively same population same demographics and did
research to find out that if they just took that
sixty bed facility and leased it to ICE, they could
bring in a million and a half a year to

(55:36):
Douglas Cans.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
So we'd make money. We would make money.

Speaker 3 (55:38):
No one has ever lost money leasing out jail space
to the Fed.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
Never, No, no, they'll find someone for it.

Speaker 3 (55:46):
If we did an agreement with the Marshall Service and Immigration,
we could bring in over three million a year. So
the sheriff comes out and says, I think we should start,
you know, leasing out jail space to the Marshall Service
and Immigration. So the Garcia guy, he's the head of

(56:08):
the board whatever they call that guy. I don't really
know much about it. What I know I want to
take I want to I want that seat for District
six so that I can lobby for the taxpayer and
and present real perspective. Because this is what they said
at the county board. We don't want to do a
deal with ICE because it is not right that we

(56:29):
are pulling families apart. And these people are just here working.
They're honest, and uh, you know, we're we we we
What we think is that we need to push for
immigration reform.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
What does that even mean? At the county lee, what's.

Speaker 3 (56:46):
Stupid it is? You know, at the county level, that
is not your job.

Speaker 1 (56:49):
You can't do anything that is not your job.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
Your job is on the county board is to make
sure that county agencies are properly funded and that the
roads are you know nice, right, take care of not
doing that those things right. Your board is not to
socially engineer the country or not to.

Speaker 1 (57:12):
I saw an ad for he's a Republican. He's running
for governor in Michigan or somewhere like that, and he's like.

Speaker 3 (57:18):
The southern border.

Speaker 1 (57:19):
I'm like, bro, do you know where your state is?
You're in Michigan. What are you talking about? The southern border?

Speaker 3 (57:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (57:26):
I don't. Oh no, I don't.

Speaker 3 (57:27):
I see it every day. I'll tell you about that.
That dude, I could talk for hours about this. I'm
not kidding. It's so crazy. Anyway, So this guy's saying
these people they're not they're not criminals, blah blah blah.
Well he's using the people seventy five people they arrested
at that food processing plant.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
Yeah you remember that, Oh yeah, yeah, they.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
Were arrested because they were using stolen.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
IDs, social security numbers, right, stolen.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
So you're you're in a fraud biz. Yeah, you commit
a lot of fraud all day all. He has a
lot of fraud, a lot of scams. Yes, he has
a still in the spare bedroom.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
Yes, just print off social security liquor. Yeah, yeah, I
have Sicilian they got family Jake Daniels.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
Yeah, it's got a black label of believable. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
And you can get my Luis Baton persons back there
and yeah, we have all that we do.

Speaker 1 (58:25):
We're in the counterfeiting business. Yes, does that? Yeah, he's
got a three D printer, Yes, and put a hundred
bucks in it and saying, you know, absolutely million bucks,
million bucks, that's what we do.

Speaker 3 (58:36):
So anyway, the sheriff wants to do this, he says, no,
we don't want to pull these people apart, all right.
This thing is always infuriated me. And that is nobody
cares about the illegal alien until they need them for power,
sure right, they until they need them, you know, to
to do something.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
And you know, and in this case a prop when
they're being trafficked by coyotes, they don't give two shits.

Speaker 3 (59:01):
But see, and if I go if I'm on that board,
I can give them real world perspective that I have witness. Right,
I'm totally against illegal immigration, but I literally when I
was living, when I was working down in Texas, we'd
go put up water stands in the desert, right because
I mean, yeah, I don't want you coming over the border,

(59:22):
but I also don't want you dying of thirst.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
Sure you know what I mean, you know? And so.

Speaker 3 (59:29):
That guy, seriously, they don't know or they're either they
don't know or they're ignoring the fact that cartels still
get these people to do stuff for them, right, Because
in Houston you have these smuggling houses. In fact, there
was one day I was on the air in Houston
and there's literally a gunfight going on on the highway.

(59:52):
One guy had a bunch of illegals in the back
of his trust.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
This wasn't another one of your stories, wasn't one of
your hoaxes.

Speaker 3 (59:59):
No, even I couldn't think of something that's great. But
so he's got all these illegals in the back of
his truck and he's taking them to their little stash
house whatever. Well, a rival gang wants to steal them.

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
Yeah, because when they get them.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
To their stash house. Didn't they extort them even more?

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
Yeah, labor and stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:00:18):
Yeah, they tell well, no, they tell them, uh, you
need to come up with another five grand.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
Oh yeah, yep, or will kill you. Yeah, and they
will kill your family, that's.

Speaker 3 (01:00:29):
The thing, right. So no, but they don't they never
thought about that when that was going on. Yeah, right,
they didn't think about it. When you know, when fourteen
year old girls are in a canteena you know, uh,
being raped by men repeatedly to pay off smuggling debts
and stuff. And see I know all that stuff. Yeah,
I take it personal. It's horrible.

Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
So when he's saying, oh, they're not doing anything wrong,
they're just people trying to make a better life, yeah,
so am I Yeah right? So are you know you
guys got a nice house now? Yeah, you've been able
to hide a lot of that money you make from
the government all that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
Yeah, hide all that money exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
The room the still is in you it looks like
a hoarder of twenties. You walk in there and there's
these little corridors between the stacks of twenties and then
when you get past the fifties into the hundreds. That's
where the still is.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
You should see what's stashing the walls. Man. Oh yeah, yep,
once you get into the air. And then I got
a whole stop.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
Out back that's detached from the house and just all yep,
it's all in there.

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
That's where I got my net. That's where I got
the Filipinos working out back. You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (01:01:39):
They're good, yeah, you know, because most people mistake them
for Mexican.

Speaker 1 (01:01:43):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
I had a guy passage my show's page today. He goes,
there is this really Caleb Salvator And I'm like, well,
it depends. Are you a debt collector, because if so,
then it's the Filipino contractor I hired to run it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
But other than that, no, it's not what's going on. Yeah,
so so yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
Want to do it because the sixteen year old, these
sixteen year old kids who these magic programs are supposed
to help, they're not.

Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
Though.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
One of them killed my best friend's daughter.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Right, And you know this place has been open for
three years.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
Juvie.

Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
Crime's going up.

Speaker 1 (01:02:20):
Sure, and it's more violent, which is so weird because
it seems like adult crime is going down because we
just posted like our lowest homicide rate in years last year,
right from what I saw, So it's it's weird that
juvie crimes going up so high.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
Well, but here's something else. You know, when people talk
crime statistics, you know, murder rate is always one of
the big focus on. What they don't focus on are
karth thef's, burglaries, dope, you know, all these things like
like picture just imagine you're a single mom. Yeah, and
you got a kid, You got to take your kid's daycare,
you got to go work your job, or your horny,

(01:02:55):
fat nasty boss is probably going, hey, bitty, I think
you're creda cute. Yeah, all that craziness going on. And
then she comes home, she gets your kid, she's having
a nice day watching you know, some Disney flick and
they're having a tender moment making s'mores, and then they
fall asleep in each other's arms. And then some crackhead
comes in there in the middle of the night and

(01:03:15):
steals her catalytic converter. Yeah, so there's fifteen hundred bucks yep,
that she's gonna have to fork out.

Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
That's another industry for several days. That's another industry man. Yeah,
we've got in those.

Speaker 3 (01:03:27):
Melt him down.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
You gotta melt him down because otherwise I found the scrapyard.

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
Start asking too many questions.

Speaker 3 (01:03:33):
Yeah, they got me on the manhole Yeah yeah, what
do you mean property of City of Omaha. My grandpa
left me a whole collection of classic manhole cover Here's
here's one of the kiss man hole covers for me.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
The guardrail off the interstate.

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
You know, but you know, look, I'm a I'm a joker,
That's what i am. I'm a joker. But I'm not
stupid enough to build a facility and not think about
financing the operations of that thing, right, And I'm not,

(01:04:20):
you know, arrogant enough. And I'm arrogant. I'm a real arrogant,
horrible person, but I'm not so arrogant that I will
have made such a catastrophic mistake with a tax dollars
and then just sit on it like, well, you know, that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
Just doesn't mean, like, do these people manage their own
money this way? They can't. They'd all be homeless and
like sued into oblivion. You would think maybe if they
were stupid with their own money.

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
But remember, they can always pull the I don't think
you know who I am.

Speaker 1 (01:04:51):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
The county commissioner, that's true.

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
So you know it does have parks. I need to
run for some bullshit things, so I should throw that around.

Speaker 3 (01:04:59):
You know, we need more comics and politics.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
I agree. I agree. My own business partner ran for
governor and got like three votes.

Speaker 3 (01:05:08):
You gotta have the money, you do.

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
No, I was looking today. I saw there.

Speaker 3 (01:05:12):
Imagine that he didn't win, going against a billionaire.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
I know, right, I would have thought, right, that's uh
I saw today, Mia, What do you think about? I
was gonna ask you. Douglas County Treasure is one hundred
and forty thousand dollars a year. There's no Republican running
for it.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
You know who makes big I can't remember what they make,
but they make a bunch of money. The whoever's elected
to make sure everybody gets internet? Really, yeah, that's a
six figure.

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
Job internet provider.

Speaker 3 (01:05:40):
You're the you're the telecommunication director. There's something yeah, you know,
I can't remember what it is, but somebody was going
over it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:49):
I just want a fake job like that. That's all
I want is a fake job.

Speaker 3 (01:05:53):
Walks in and just look around and go okay, everything.

Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
All right, what if the treasurer do I just walk
in and go, yep, they're paying for the license.

Speaker 3 (01:06:00):
Have you been watching the news lately about the treasurer? No?

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
No, I think you took the mayor. No oh, the
new one.

Speaker 3 (01:06:09):
No. Yeah, there's a there's an investigation going on.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
Sweet, so it's prime time for me to hop on
it is what you're saying.

Speaker 3 (01:06:15):
You should check it out. I might actually do this,
they sit. I can't really talk a lot about it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
Okay, See I've I've joked about like running for state Senate,
but they make like twelve grand a year and I
can't afford to do that. No, but I but like
something like that I might actually do.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
And here's my thing, like, and you'll probably had to
think about this as well when you did it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
My issue is there's hundreds of hours of tape of
me saying horrific things and I don't care. That's my
thing is from now on. The election in Virginia last night,
I guess changed the game because you had that guy
that said he wanted that woman's kids to die in
her arms so he could piss on their shoot them. Yeah,
and that wasn't a deal breaker for them. So I'm like, Okay,

(01:06:59):
I've never said anything remotely close to being that bad.

Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
So you guys think bying with him, I don't think.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
I feel Yeah, I know.

Speaker 3 (01:07:06):
I mean my wife, my wife, you know, her and
I we've been talking about this a bit lately. Yeah,
and she just says, you messed up a tweet.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07:17):
And this guy's talking about killing his opponent and pissing
on his ground.

Speaker 1 (01:07:21):
Yeah yeah, kids, yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07:24):
But and he got elected and he won. I'll bet you,
I bet none of those elections are clear. In other words,
I think that over many, many years, Democrats have found
ways to you know, uh, illegal votes, cheat, assistant votes,

(01:07:45):
all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:07:47):
The illegal votes are at dude, the illegal votes are
at the DMV. When you look around and nobody speaks
any English, that's the that's the illegal votes.

Speaker 3 (01:07:54):
See. Here's something else I would like to tell board
Member Garcia. So, I, uh screen people as they all
come into the civic center, right, so we get I
would say fifty percent of the people I see on
a daily basis do not speak any English whatsoever. Right, Okay,

(01:08:14):
And then here's something else that people don't talk about,
but they should a lot of these people, the majority
of them are illiterate. So when you get your phone
and use your translator.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
Thing, they can't read it. Yeah. Well, and that's another
big problem is you've got truck drivers that are coming
here that don't speak a lick of English, and they'll
be driving down the highway and it says, hey, what
lane ends in a mile and they don't read that,
and then they're blowing through cones or they kill a
worker or you know, got to hit someone with their
kid or that happened in California.

Speaker 3 (01:08:48):
The majority of Amazon drivers, yeah, get ready, this this
this needs to be a huge story. The majority of
Amazon drivers that come in the building.

Speaker 1 (01:08:58):
Yeah, no English, None really speak a lick of it.
Really Yeah, huh, I guess.

Speaker 3 (01:09:05):
So here's a question. How do they get a driver's license?
You know, now it's not illegal to not speak English
and drive. That too, is stupid, I agree, But yeah,
Amazon drivers and they're driving those electric ten ton you know,
giant Amazon, and they can't read the signs, you know,

(01:09:29):
they and and you know, I'll tell you one. I
see so many people that come in they don't speak
any English, right, and I grew up in Texas, so
It is very common. It's normal to me when when
I deal with Latinos that they'll act like they understand
me and they don't. But that's just what they've done

(01:09:53):
my whole life. Right, you have to admit, at least,
I think you got to admit, you got to have
a big set of balls to go into a country
that you don't speak the language, you can't read. Yet
those they come here and they make a living. They do,
they make a living. They bust ass is that they do.

(01:10:16):
I mean, but think about it. You know that, you
know they just said, well, I guess I'm just going
to go to America. Well you don't speak English.

Speaker 1 (01:10:24):
Take it till you make it. Baby hates you know
me as the opposite.

Speaker 2 (01:10:28):
She gets people that walk up to her and just
assume she knows Spanish, walk up and they'll start speaking
Spanish to her, and she just gives them that confused
look and then they're confused because she looks like she
should speak Spanish.

Speaker 3 (01:10:46):
Two guys I work with, their Latino guys, Yeah, they
don't speak a lick of Spanish speak Spanish. This girl
I work, white girl who no, she's black's black, and
and she's I have so much admiration for this chick.
She's such an amazing girl. But she doesn't, you know,

(01:11:06):
she has no heirs. In other words, she does she
doesn't you know, walk around like hey, I'm hot shit.
But like she's in the Army Reserve. She has a
special needs child that she does not pawn off on anybody.
She's also going to school, yeah, and working ten hours
a day at the court.

Speaker 1 (01:11:23):
Handling her business. We need more people in this country.

Speaker 3 (01:11:25):
Like that handles her business. And she has learned Spanish
over the last two months.

Speaker 1 (01:11:33):
Just from interacting with people.

Speaker 3 (01:11:35):
No, she said, I gotta talk to all these people.
I'm just gonna start studying Spanish two months now. She'll
sit there and have a conversation with him, and then
I accuse her of talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:11:47):
Me, talking about you. You got to learn how to
speak it back too, so next time you just rattle
something off to her and freak her out.

Speaker 3 (01:11:52):
Sometimes I'll just go, I know what you're saying, right,
and they look at me in and they just kind
of clam up.

Speaker 1 (01:12:00):
So you know what, I just say, Yeah, you just
got to learn something like profanity so you can.

Speaker 3 (01:12:07):
Them to kind of bring it back. Yeah, I'm running
because there has to be people rational think of people.

Speaker 1 (01:12:16):
Like like us.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
They need a voice in the boardroom, sure, right, not,
you know, people there's due. There are guys that come
in every every meeting to go up there and bitch
at every meeting. Oh I know, bless them. You know,
I know what to wear? A red hat?

Speaker 1 (01:12:36):
Uh of a roofing company. No, okay, then it's nuts.

Speaker 3 (01:12:41):
But they're this dude is there every county board meeting,
every city council meeting. Yeah, retired and that's what he does.

Speaker 1 (01:12:48):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:12:49):
There's a few guys like that and they come in
and you know, you can talk to the board members,
but it's some kind of BS deal where you know,
the board just sits there and you tell them that
they don't care. I don't like that they're just sitting there.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
Yeah. Yeah, guys sitting there thinking about what he's gonna
make for dinner tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:13:05):
Common sense. People need a voice in the border. They
need to be there to give that perspective, right, Like,
you know, I hope that if I'm elected. By the way,
I've made a pledge for my campaign. I am not
gonna tell people I'm gonna fight for something.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
You're not gonna fight.

Speaker 3 (01:13:23):
You know, we're not gonna have nothing. We're not gonna
be using that. You know, how many do you have
any idea how many political ads I've had to listen
to over my radio career, fight billions, I will fight for,
I will fight for, shut up.

Speaker 1 (01:13:37):
And they've always got that intense music.

Speaker 3 (01:13:39):
You fight.

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
You'd be gaffed about forty fighting nobody.

Speaker 3 (01:13:45):
Fighting anybody a pill a fight. But I just want
to go in there and bring that perspective, right, Like,
if we're gonna build this building, then let's have timelines
and what are our expects patiens, How's it going to
benefit the tax payers?

Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (01:14:03):
And I mean I think you know, there's a lot
of guys that'll say that. I'm not the first guy
to ever say that, but I'm probably one of the
few guys that just doesn't really care. Who if I
make them mad.

Speaker 1 (01:14:16):
I don't care.

Speaker 3 (01:14:18):
I'll work for that.

Speaker 1 (01:14:19):
We definitely need more real people. We need more real
people in those those roles, not people that are on
the board you know of some bullshit charity they made up,
and you know, like we need people that have actually
had to deal with Hey, how am I going to
pay my property taxes. This went up another one hundred
and fifty bucks a month. This year.

Speaker 3 (01:14:35):
My house payment went up. I've only refinanced my house
once and that was when the rate was down to
two percent.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
Oh yeah, my men on that.

Speaker 3 (01:14:50):
But the next thing, you know, the taxes start piling up,
and so my house payment just because of taxes and
stuff has probably gone up seventy It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
It's crazy. And they don't do anything with the money
they jack did well, yeah, stupid shit with the money.
Yeah yeah, no, I mean it's it's criminal. They're like California,
for as bad as they are, they have a rule
over there that that price you bought your house on
is what you get taxed at. And I'm far from
one to defend California, but it sounds like common sense

(01:15:23):
to me. I mean, because that's the thing. If you know,
if I bought my house thirty years ago for one
hundred thousand dollars and now you're taxing me at five hundred, it's.

Speaker 3 (01:15:31):
Like, what am I going? What? What I didn't pay
for this? You know?

Speaker 1 (01:15:34):
If I buy a TV, you can't go, well, that
TV's actually worth twice as much now, So we're gonna
hit you with another sales tax, and yeah, you pay
the tax one time when you buy the TV. And
that's it. That's what they're doing in Florida right now.
And that's common sounds like common sense to me. I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:15:49):
Well, you know, the thing is is like, especially on
a county level, you're the county board. Yeah, first of all,
you figure out how much money you need for all
your stupid stuff. Yeah, then that's when you say, well,
we need this. Our budget says we need this, So
all right, so let's raise the levee. You know, and

(01:16:09):
if you think about it. I can't remember the last
time in Nebraska. I cannot think about I can't even
remember the last time any person running for office who
didn't who said we need to look at spending. What
are we spending money on? It's always, you know, property

(01:16:30):
taxes are very, very high. We need to spread out
the property tax around the state. Like guys that live
outside of Omaha, Dude, they get crushed with taxes that
that or they lived three hours from here, you know.
So I just you know, you you need that guy

(01:16:53):
in that boardroom who knows what I mean. I know
what I'm talking right, I'm because as a talk host
you have to know everything, even if you're not even
gonna talk about it, you need to know it because
if it comes up, you got to be ready.

Speaker 1 (01:17:07):
You don't want to sound every day is a final Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:17:11):
So I mean, I know what I'm talking about, I
know what can be done, and all it takes is
somebody to just pull a trigger on something. And you
know when this Garcia guys say, well, I don't want
to be me and we want to wait for immigration reform.
You're talking four years, right, Okay, So that's three hundred
grand a year for four years. Okay, that that starts

(01:17:33):
to add up to real dough. And meanwhile, they need
they got to get back on the ball on this
thing because the taxpayer. A lot of people don't even
know this, because you know, there's the media that they'll
do the obligatory every other year. I'll let you Ivy
Jason Centerstell isn't open. Well, that's a lot of money
that was spent. Okay, you want to hear some quote.

(01:17:56):
You want to hear a great quote, Mariann Borgenson When
in the last story they did I think it was
a year ago or more maybe a year ago.

Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:18:08):
She literally said, you know, I can't remember a more
contentious debate than over the Jube Justice Center. Yeah, because you.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
Were wrong, because you sucked it up.

Speaker 3 (01:18:20):
Yeah an aniot. Well that doesn't help me. But you
were wrong, right, you were so wrong. People are going, hey,
you're wrong. Yeah, well you don't know why you guys
are so upset about it. We're gonna try to nudge
the county, don't you understand?

Speaker 1 (01:18:38):
Nudge?

Speaker 3 (01:18:39):
We just you know, if you let us build this
every day, only seventy two and sunny every day with
a little.

Speaker 1 (01:18:43):
Rain in the evening, you know, nudg just right off
a cliff. You know what I'm saying. Do you think
it's gonna Do you think it's gonna get dirty? Are
you prepared to be the dirty politician? I know a
guy who ruins people's lives for fun. If you want it,
if you want his number, No, No, I you know what.

Speaker 3 (01:18:57):
I'm just gonna be me right, I'm gonna be mees.

Speaker 1 (01:19:00):
This is me, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:19:03):
I just I know that I know that something has
to change, and I think I can do that because
I've always you know, even people who who initially don't
like me that don't know me, you know, you know,
I'm we eventually see Okay, all right, Well this person

(01:19:23):
like I'll like them, you know, like Chris Rogers, one
of the board members. I disagree with him right pretty
much everywhere, but I like him. You know, I've had
him on my show. He never ran away for he
was always anytime I asked him, will you come on
the show? Sure, he come around the show. I like
the guy, right. I think that, you know, he and

(01:19:45):
I can see something because what they're doing with these
juveniles now is a lot of therapy and a lot
of you know, well you gotta do you understand your pain? Well,
you know what, My parents divorced and I used to
listen my mom cry herself to sleep on the couch. Okay,
so yeah, I know, I know what it's like to

(01:20:06):
have everything suck. Sure, so they they they need they
need that perspective. And if you can, you know, I mean,
I'm not going to go in there and go, well,
you're an idiot. You don't even understand what illegal immigration
is or it works. No, if you go in there
and you tell her, you explain it to him, maybe

(01:20:26):
I think it can make a difference. Right, was save
some money and then plus I'm looking forward to the bribes. Oh,
I've heard county commissioners get bribed a lot. And I'm
not saying I want to take a bribe, but I
just think it would be cool. They would go, tell
you what, Chris, We'll give you a million dollars if
you'll do this, and I'll.

Speaker 1 (01:20:46):
Go no, no, Yeah, So you're just looking forward to
being bribed, not accepting.

Speaker 3 (01:20:51):
No, I don't want the bribe, but I want someone
because then you know you made it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:56):
That's true, that's true. What what constitutes is a bribe?

Speaker 3 (01:21:00):
My headliner?

Speaker 1 (01:21:01):
Yeah, Like if somebody's like, hey, do you want to
go out to dinner? And they take me out to
Flemings and I just assume that we're gonna go Dutch,
and I run up a seven hundred and fifty dollars tab,
which is not hard to do if you go there
and they go, oh, I've got this. Is that a bribe?

Speaker 3 (01:21:18):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:21:18):
Okay, I don't think so Okay, yes you do, because
you're what we're trying to get selected here.

Speaker 3 (01:21:23):
No. No, if some dude wants to spend seven hundred
bucks taking me out to dinner, that's fine, I don't
owe him anything.

Speaker 1 (01:21:31):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (01:21:32):
Hey, you're talking to me like I'm some kind of
smoke show chick. Hey, that guy spend seven hundred dinner,
seven hundred bucks on dinner, and what are you gonna
do later? You going back to his house, You're spending
the night. What's up? Well, Rogers enjoyed the steak.

Speaker 1 (01:21:46):
Well that's what end of the day. Are we gonna
get any cringy commercials out of you? Because I love that?

Speaker 3 (01:21:51):
Oh no, I'm gonna mock the hell you should.

Speaker 1 (01:21:53):
You should.

Speaker 2 (01:21:54):
That's like we had the one with Dan Osborne that
we did the mock ad where I was like, these
are my tattoos.

Speaker 1 (01:22:00):
Over and over and over. That's something like that. Yeah,
you gotta do it with the patriotic background, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:22:08):
I'm just I'm gonna be me, right, That's how people
in this town know me. They is a smart elec andy.
But I'm not stupid, you know. But yeah, like I've
already thought about some stuff. Here's one of the things
I thought about doing. I may still do it. Finding
people that live in my district that have a famous name, right,

(01:22:31):
like like a Brad Pitt or whoever. And then just
say endorsed by Michael Jordan right, like Carrot Top is
an old friend of mine. I reached out. I'm trying
to get him to endorse me so I can say
Chris Baker endorsed by Carrott.

Speaker 5 (01:22:49):
He's like Jack now, the guy is Jack now. Yeah, yeah,
he's just you know, it's funny. He just found that
he had a lot of free time, didn't want to
sit around. There was a guy that would go out
and get high or any of that stuff. He was
actually Scott's his real name, and he really takes his stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:23:08):
Serious, should you know? And he's great. Yeah. I wanted
to find people with famous names so they could say
Chris Baker endorsed by George Clooney. Will here's a guy
standing there going Hi, I'm George Clooney, not the actor.
I just happen to live in District six. I like
Chris will Smith. It's a white guy and a white

(01:23:32):
guy with with his son dreased like half in drag,
half Halloween costume.

Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
With Oh that's great?

Speaker 3 (01:23:41):
Is he Susan on the top of his head with
various dips going?

Speaker 2 (01:23:45):
And when when did when do people need to show
up to vote for you what's the day the primary?

Speaker 1 (01:23:51):
Day?

Speaker 3 (01:23:52):
The primary is in May of twenty twenty six.

Speaker 1 (01:23:56):
Okay, so you got some time?

Speaker 3 (01:23:58):
So yeah, right now I'm just kind of I'm raising money,
of course, right, and the two things that anybody who
runs profice needs. You need money and you need volunteers, right,
that's what you need. Yeah, And so I got a
little tweaking to do to the website and then we'll

(01:24:18):
start going full court press here and there's fairly short.

Speaker 1 (01:24:23):
Amount of time there you go, you know, perfect, So
I you know, I just.

Speaker 3 (01:24:28):
Think I can. I can do a better job than
she's done for thirty years.

Speaker 1 (01:24:32):
Absolutely, I think it can too. It'd be entertaining if
nothing else, What do you have to lose? What do
you have to lose?

Speaker 3 (01:24:37):
I was talking to I was talking to I won't
say well, I was talking to Amy Melton. She's always
city council favorite people. She's really great. And she said,
she goes, you know, if you're on county board, that'll
give people a reason to tune in.

Speaker 1 (01:24:52):
It will it will? Well, guys, listen, the worst case
scenario is your taxes still go up like they were
going to anyway, but now it's you know, it's funny.

Speaker 3 (01:25:02):
Now you can laugh your way to going from you know,
eating steak to ground beef.

Speaker 2 (01:25:08):
Yeah, exactly, exactly labeled ground beef. Now you're drinking Shasta
instead of coke?

Speaker 3 (01:25:14):
You know? Is that still around?

Speaker 1 (01:25:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:25:17):
I said you drink it. When I was a kid, man,
Shasta and r C was the other one we would have.
RC Cola was I had a one not too long ago,
and I was like, wow, yeah, no.

Speaker 3 (01:25:31):
The best though, rcy Cola and a moon Pie, oh moon.

Speaker 1 (01:25:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:25:37):
When I was a kid, that was an awesome Saturday.

Speaker 1 (01:25:40):
Yeah. And Fago, I don't know anything about that. That
Fago they sell it it like doing the dollar tree.
Fago was the insane clown posse. That was their drink
and it would get sold and my mom would buy
it for us, and I didn't know anything about it.
And then they got some beef with M and M
and he's talking about faggots. That's spray Fago root beer,

(01:26:01):
and I'm like, wait, what that's we were drinking the
Juggalo juice.

Speaker 3 (01:26:06):
I had no idea. I don't know about you, but
I'm going to pass on any beverage that comes from
somebody known as a Juggalo Juggalo we had.

Speaker 1 (01:26:14):
A fourteen year old kid walk up to our house
trigger treating on Halloween full beard.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
Yes, no, he had his face done like the ICP,
and I'm like, Okay, it's eleven o'clock at night. I'm
either gonna get robbed or this is just a lonely kid.

Speaker 3 (01:26:29):
I still don't get that.

Speaker 1 (01:26:30):
The ICP.

Speaker 3 (01:26:31):
Yeah, yeah, the Insane clown Posse. I remember that. That
wasn't a thing when they first busted out. They were
all insane clown Posse, and I thought, Okay, these guys
are definitely they painted their face, so I at least
gotta listen.

Speaker 1 (01:26:46):
Yeah, horrible, They're terrible, But I think that's the stick.
That's the stick, is that it's so bad. They like it.
They do my friend's podcast like once a month, the
Anthony Rogers Show.

Speaker 3 (01:26:56):
Really, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:26:57):
Yeah, they do it like once every other month. They're
always on there. So they sucked on purpose, Yeah, to
become rich and faint, that's what they Yeah, it's a joke. Yeah,
how do you get everybody in on that? That's a giant? Well, yeah,
they built like a culture around it. That's it.

Speaker 3 (01:27:14):
That's the way to success. Let's start this whole podcast over.

Speaker 1 (01:27:18):
Let's do it.

Speaker 3 (01:27:18):
Hey, Caleb, what's up? Well?

Speaker 2 (01:27:21):
No, I think there's a guy that's already got that
mastered here in town. I won't use his name, but
we all know who it is talking about Scott, Like,
oh no, now we love Scott.

Speaker 3 (01:27:32):
Friend.

Speaker 2 (01:27:33):
Scott wishes me happy birthday on Facebook every year. Okay,
all right, where can people send you money?

Speaker 3 (01:27:39):
And then we'll get out of here. Uh Chris Baker

gonna I have to change the domain to Chris Baker
