Twelve Bucks?!?

At least it wasn't a bill from Omaha for $828!  We did more than talk about dollar amounts this morning, we also talked about ... other stuff.  (Did I mention I was out late last night?)

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Happy six to O de Mayo. I am Scott Voorhees
with Lucy Chapman, Craig Evans, and Jim Rose Courtney Donaho
as well. This is Nebraska's Morning News. Hi, We're all
here for you on news radio eleven ten KFAB. We're
all here and not all there for the next few hours. So, Lucy,
I was out late last night and celebrating Sinko to

(00:23):
Mayo and the way, the traditional way that I believe
that Cinko to Mayo is supposed to be celebrated. I
was drinking Jamaican rum while singing on a stage with
a fellow white guy outside of an Irish pub.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
But why do you have to burn all the rum?

Speaker 1 (00:42):
I just I may have. I may have after finishing
a song on stage with the great Jimmy Weber, oh boy,
who said, Scotty, come out here and say a song.
I'm like, I don't remember the words, let's do it,
because I apparently thought it was karaoke night. After after
singing the song and before leaving the stage, I may

(01:03):
have said, while embracing fellow super pasty white guy Jimmy
Weber outside of an Irish pub, I may have said
ladies and gentlemen. This is what Senko de Mayo is
all about. If that's not too infuriating.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
And you're admitting it.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
No, oh are we? Hey? Good morning?

Speaker 2 (01:23):
You're gonna start over?

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yes, hey, good morning, it's no Did you were you
out tearing it up last night? I know Jim Rose was.
He was at a fancy pants party last night.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
If by tearing it up you mean making meat loaf? Yes,
I was.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Were you listening to Bat out of Hell one, two
or three? You making an excellent choice? I know, excellent choy.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Did have a margarita?

Speaker 1 (01:52):
You can't go wrong with any of the meat Loaf
bat albums? You had a margarita? That's good I had.
I had tacos last night. It's Taco Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Well that's what I wanted to have, But the request
was meet Louve.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah. I was driving home like a good boy, and
then I remembered that my buddy Trevor and his band
were playing at this place, followed by Jimmy Webber, and
I swerved the other direction and hung out there way
too late.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
We'll try to keep it down.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
I was talking to somebody and it was loud out there,
so of course you're out there loud talking and she said,
what radio station are you on? At eleven ten am.
She's all right, I'm going to listen tomorrow. I said, well,
I'm gonna be pretty tired tomorrow. Tomorrow. She goes, you're
retiring tomorrow. Congratulations. I don't think so. We do have

(02:45):
a suit in town later today, but we'll see. Jim.
You were at a fancy fants party in.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Midland's Business journal fiftieth anniversary celebration down at the Durham.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
I love the Midland's Business. It is a good paper.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
It comes out every Friday and has for fifty consecutive
years of Friday. It's it's sort of a throwback, but
it's one of those classic cases of something that really worked.
And it's not just Omaha. They do counsel bluffs link
in Midland's Business true, but it was a sorte of
the Midlands begin and end wherever you want them to,
you know, if you want them to begin in Minnesota,

(03:19):
feel free. Yeah, but pretty much, Uh, you know, it's
been really good for business and uh it sort of
keeps the business community tied together. They also have annual
awards to their top you know, folks. And Johnny Rodgers
got one last night because he's been promoting a lot
of small businesses and he's really good with young people.

(03:39):
He's into, you know, educational training, and he's committed a
lot of time and energy to that.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Is he related to the Heisman Trophy winner. Same guy.
His kids, by the way, are rock stars. His daughter
is there incredible poet laureate.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
One of them is the Poet Laureate of Nebraska and
the other one is like a big business executive in Chicago.
But his kids have turned out great. Mike Castleing got
something last night, which was good to see. Mike and
gaile Yany got something less these they have nice business
Trailblazer and Business Entrepreneur awards.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
John Houtsch got something last night.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
He's been on He's been profiled in the Midland Business
Journal like fifteen or twenty times. The first one when
he was eighteen years old and he'd started this lawnmowing
business and he was profiled in the Midland's Business Journal
back in the seventies because at age eighteen he was
getting jobs for other eighteen year olds in town and

(04:30):
that was a nice story. That's something that should be
talked to a lot of kids these days, that entrepreneurial spirit,
or just how about this, instead of looking at your
phone all day long, why don't you do something, earn
a little bit of money. And he built a really
large and successful business.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Well, they are laws. They're all sports betting. That's why
they're looking at their phones. And sometimes they earn a
little bit of money.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah, they're betting on whether the next pitch is going
to be a fastball from Tarik's school ball.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
The Omaha business community does a good job looking out
for each other and members of the Chamber and a
lot of these different organizations to get together for meetings
and read the Business Journal and all the rest of that. Great.
There were some people that showed up at a city
meeting yesterday along those lines. That is a divisive issue

(05:17):
in our community. And I'll tell you about it. After
traffic slow.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
On eastbound eighty between six eighty and four eighty and
the Dodge Expressways starting to fill in. It's Wednesday traffic.
That's a look at your roads. I'm Lucy Chapman.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Wednesday traffic. I've never heard you say that.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
I have mentioned it. You might not have heard it,
but I have mentioned it.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
We worked together on a few Wednesdays over the last
couple of decades. Is there an issue with Wednesday morning traffic.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
I don't know that i'd call it an issue, but
it is the busiest traffic day it is. Yeah, And
the only thing that I have come up with for
the reason because I've watched this for years and it
started probably around twenty two. If you have to work
from home but only partially, say you have to be

(06:06):
in the office for two days, you're going on Wednesday,
You're going on Wednesday. You're either going to take Monday
and Tuesday off or Thursday and Friday. M hm, okay,
so everybody goes to work on Wednesday. Now that is
starting to ease a little bit as more companies are
forcing you to go back to work into the office
full time. But still, even this morning, I was driving

(06:28):
in my usual time and I'd like six cars around me.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Are there still businesses who at this point are still
trying to make that transition from ari you've been working
at home come back to the office at this point,
because we've been essentially back to some level of normal
for five years here in Omaha. Not everyone, okay, not
everything but much more than a lot of other communities.

(06:55):
And I would guess that if you're still working from
home and you're you're office has not said hey, come
on back here, then you're probably good. I mean, are
there still businesses like, Okay, we're just getting out of COVID.
Like I don't know about you. We got out of
COVID five years ago. That's when the vaccines rolled out.
In a few months after that, people are like, all right,

(07:17):
these are either gonna work or they're not. I've got
to work. We're coming back. Not everything is completely back
to normal. I get it now. With that, I don't
expect you to answer that question well, actually, unless you
have an answer.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
I actually have just one comment on that. I just
saw recently within the last few days, a large company
and I'm sorry I don't remember which company was, but
it's a national company that have now told everybody in
their company they have to all be back five days
a week or whatever their schedule is, no more work
from home, and they have until August to make that happen.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
So Kmart that series and Robustart's coming back. It was
Montgomery Wards.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Oh I love that. Bring Ankers Back and you'll all
be on top of the world.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Richmond Gordman made that safe way. I can do hinky dinky,
I can do this all day. There was a meeting
yesterday the Omaha Public Works Department. This kind of goes
along the same things because one of the hardest hit
industries was really the restaurant industry, and everything changed and
then we had the dawn of the food trucks. Well,
the standalone restaurants say, we would rather you know, we're

(08:22):
paying the property taxes and the employees and the infrastructure
costs and everything, and we're having to jump through a
lot of different health and safety hoops, which are fine.
We like health and safety. We're serving people food. But
we got to do all these things as a restaurant,
a brick and mortar restaurant, which I would not recommend
serving to your customers. And we got boat we have

(08:44):
brick and mortar. Oh that sounds good, I'll have I'll
have the mortar. Yeah, I would eat.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
It, would deep anything, I'll eat it.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
So then here come the food trucks. They have none
of those things. And the council and the the Public
Works Department have tried to say, look, if you're gonna
do food truck stuff. You've got to do this and that. Well,
a few months ago, and this was apparently news to
food truck owners, the city council said, yeah, as of

(09:13):
last August, if you're a food truck here in Omaha,
you need to go every single day to a licensed
kitchen and you got to you know, make sure everything's clean,
and you got to make sure as everything's up to code,
and you got to stop buy a licensed kitchen for
daily licensed commissary cleanup and service. And the food truck

(09:36):
owners are like, we don't want to clean anything up.
I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't know if you
want to admit that. No, they say everything's clean. I
don't like burdensome regulations. If you want to go eat
at a food truck and you feel like, I don't
know how how great that food and the cleanliness is,

(09:57):
then don't eat there. But the restaurant owners hate the
food trucks.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
I understand that. But you know, you talk about the
cost of maintaining that truck, the engine, just the mechanics
of it. That's a lot of cost.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Too, not as much as a full restaurant, but it's
it's definitely an issue here that you know, the food
truck owners are like, what do you mean We're going
to do this like you've been you supposed to do
this as of nine months ago. A little hollering at
that meeting yesterday. Now the eleven to ten KFAB Certified
Transmission Sports Brief. Here's Jim Rose, Jay Scott, Good morning everybody.

(10:32):
It was diehard night at schwab Field last night.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
If you stuck around till the thirteenth, the least they
could have done is given you one for the road.
But the Jays rewarded the girlfriends and scouts who were
still there through four hours and fifty four minutes. Nine
to eight, Creighton topples the number seven ranked team in
the country. Kansas Jay's coach Mark Kingston.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Big win for.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
US, obviously, and the last two games I told the
team the last two games were all about just the
will to win.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Really proud, really proud of you guys. Now.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Ben North hit a walk off home run in the
bottom of the thirteenth for the winner, but Creighton's pitching
staff was nails.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
The Jayhawks, one of the better.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Scoring teams in the country, was shut out over the
last seven innings Big League Scoreboard. The Royals win again,
that's five w's in a row. Beat the Guardians five
to three. Angels, Yankees, Rays, and Red Sox also win
in the American League. National League postpones Milwaukee at Saint
Louis and New York at Colorado, but San Diego beat
the Giants, Arizona beat the Pirates. The Cubs over the

(11:30):
Reds in Philadelphia nine. The A's one inter League played
Baltimore nine, Miami seven, Minnesota eleven, the Nats three, Houston two,
and Los Angeles won. Atlanta three, Seattle two. Omaha at
Indianapolis postponed because of rain. Two days ago, a Husker
football legacy committed to Minnesota, Scott's Allstate or Wyatt Libentrid,

(11:51):
but Big Red got a good one yesterday. Maurice Purified two,
whose dad was our top receiver in two thousand and
six in two thousand and seven, committed to.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Big Read for this fall.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
Moe two was recruited by Washington State, but they had
a coach change and the new coach didn't want him,
so Purify and All State are at West Side. Was
a man without a team, which is puzzling the guy
drips with athletic ability six four one hundred and seventy pounds,
caught sixty three passes over the last two seasons, and
is the leading long jumper in Class A. He also

(12:24):
runs a ten to eight hundred. So it's Christmas in
May for Matt Rule. Although it is a crowded room,
eighteen wide receivers are now on scholarship Down there seems
like a lot for a team that says it's going
to run the ball. NBA Playoffs Detroit one to eleven,
Cleveland one oh one. That is Game one of the
East Semifinals. In Game one of the West Semifinals, Oklahoma

(12:46):
City won a eight. The Lakers ninety NHL Playoffs Colorado
five to two over Minnesota. The ABS lead that best
of seven second round series two victories to none. Our
old friend Craig Bowle, who was an average assistant coach
but a really good head coach here, is now the
chairman of the American Football Coaches Association. He is lobbying
the NCAA for major reforms to the college football schedule.

(13:09):
He floated a proposal yesterday that would end the season
by the second Monday in January, increase the number of
playoff teams reduce the number of in season by weeks
from two to one, but the Biggie is eliminating the
conference championship games. The AFCA has no power, but is
trying to give the ncaa overside committee which does make

(13:30):
these decisions some options. Nothing could change until the twenty
twenty eight season. Sports His News on Nebraska's news weathern
traffic station.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
We convene every morning, and honestly, we look at each
other and go, how do we entertain the masses this morning?
What is it the people are coming to us for?
How can we provide them with that expectation and more?
And then we say, I don't know, Let's talk about
Huscar football. And we do that for a few hours
every morning. And here we are on Nebraska's morning news

(14:02):
news radio eleven ten KFAB. I'm Scott Vorhees, Lucy Chapman,
Craig Evans, Jim Rose, Courtney Donahoe. Right here. We did
get into a conversation a moment ago about the food trucks.
The restaurants with their brick and mortar locations hate the
food trucks, and I said, I recognize that, and I

(14:25):
said I'd prefer to let the market decide on this.
If someone wants to go to a food truck and
they say, yeah, I don't know this very clean in there,
and they're not hiring as many people as the restaurant
here that is right next door. And in some cases
I don't know what rules exist right now to stop
a food truck from pulling right up in front of

(14:46):
a restaurant and saying, Hey, whatever they're charging in there,
we're gonna do ten percent less. Who wants popsicles or whatever.
There's got to be something, but I'm kind of gonna
let the market decide. Kind of a guy only emails
and says agree to disagree on food truck. Scott, a
buddy of mine, ran a pub and grill and south

(15:07):
Though had to go through all the proper inspections regularly
with his brick and mortar and his food trailer that
they ran for functions outside the pub. When the food
truck boom came along, his lunch crowd took a hit,
and he knew for a fact that most of the
food trucks did not go by the same laws and inspections.
Don't get me wrong, I fancied some and agree with

(15:30):
if the food truck looks suspect, don't go there, then
we don't disagree. I said, the restaurants hate the food
trucks and it can't be. I don't know about laws
and regulations. I just go Jim off of the It's
just not cool. Like if you're doing a sports update

(15:51):
here on microphone two and someone comes up on microphone
three in the middle of your sports update and says, hey,
I'm going to tell you about the Kansas City Royals
for a lit little bit cheaper than Jim Rose is
at the same time that you're doing it. It's just
not cool. I'd say, be my guest. We're doing auditions
in the eight o'clock hour this morning. You want to

(16:11):
come in, just make sure you bring your own money.
But this idea where we suddenly told the food trucks
here in Omaha you've got to go to a licensed
kitchen every day, a license commissary every day for clean
up and service. The food trucks say, where are we
going to go? What is the This is where someone
could make a bunch of money. I'm now taking investors.

(16:34):
The KFAB license Commissary will do a central location in
Omaha and all the food trucks have to come there
every day pay us to be able to use that space,
and they clean up their tongs or whatever it is
that they got to do. We we got a kitchen
at a breakroom. We got a coffee bar right over
here with a refrigerator. H I don't drink coffee.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Another refrigerator across the hall on the top floor. But
then a whole big fat kitchen with a dishwasher.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Oh, did you see the new fridge. We got a
new fridge up there. We got a new fridge too,
a new fridge ending, and they.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Were essentially we're and we're centrally located here in Dundee.
It's the KFAB License Commissary. Now. I don't know what
we charge these food trucks.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
I say call it the KFA B Cafe. Let's open
it up for lunch.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah, just and just to be clear, don't stop by
the radio station a day for lunch. All I have.
I've got a couple of old instant oatmeal packets in
my desk at well, there's.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
Some chicken salad from when the suits were in here
a week or two ago. I think there's still some.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Of that there's a salad downstairs that I think has
been sitting there for eight weeks. Got an email says,
don't read don't use my name if you read this
on the air, because we were talking about going back
to the office too. He says, I work at Mutual
of Omaha, and last month we were told we have
to go back to the office three days a week.
And when the new building is finished, they want people

(17:53):
in the building.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Only three days a week.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
So what are they doing and they're complaining about it?

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Well, I mean, are they working from home exclusively?

Speaker 1 (18:01):
I imagine that there's a lot of all right, everything
that's in the current Mutual headquarters here and needs to
go at Like, we got to start boxing stuff up.
It's going to be a war zone in here as
we're moving stuff down to the new construction. When we
open this tower with our logo and whatever non racial
imagery we put on the side of this tower, we

(18:23):
we want I do too. We want people in the office.
We can't have a what is it thirty two whatever?
I think that's a tall building, we can't have one.
We can't have the skyscraper in Omah with no one
in it. So we got to have people come back
to the office. Well, how we dos to come back.
We'll start with three Right, ride the street car.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Make it an amusement park ride. Ye, hey, you park
your card, un MC, get on the street car.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Take that down to Me's. It starts off. It starts
your day off.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
Fun.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
The checking here not working. You want to shove one
of the homeless guys out of the seats. But other
than that, it's a hell of a fun deal to
start the day.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
That's part of the experience.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
Or the other thing is that you pull your keel
boat up there on the Missouri river side and grab
that street car right along the river and circle around
on Harney and back down Farnham.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Jim, are they really homeless if they are living on
the street car?

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Good point. These are the issues. We have a new
classification and that is mobile homeless. We've got a couple
of years to discuss the mobile homeless and keel boat
situation here in Omaha. If you just moved here, great
to have you.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
I'm trying to get people excited about coming to work
in mutual five.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Days a week. Love the idea someone just moved to
Omaha and they're like keel boats. And there's eighty degrees
on Monday, and it was forty degrees last night. What's
going on here? Is the other thing.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
We got all these parking spaces down there that the
city says it's going to get rich off of these
parking spaces, you know, part of the mutual tower. City
says we're going to get rich leasen off those parking spaces.
On weekends, people are going to come down, park their car,
ride the street car, pay ten bucks to park the car.
We're gonna pay off the seven hundred million in debt
on the street car by the parking garage.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
I'm telling you, this is a whole plan, all right.
I got here, We got it all figured out. We're
gonna have some fun over the next few years, and
it's a few more fun things to do for mutual
people who are coming downtown. I just wish someone would
call into the KFABE comment line with Jean Stottard and
bring up the street car once so while, which happens
nine times a day. Lucy, you weren't doing traffic updates

(20:26):
on Sunday afternoon. Otherwise you do too. You're constantly checking.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Stuff before you start that. Let me just say that
there is a lane down for construction on the JFK
northbound at Cornhusker. That's why you're backed up, almost coming
to a standstill. Once't you get past that, looks like
you're smooth ceiling.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Okay, don't you dare interrupt me.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
I'm sorry. Everybody sitting in line is not sorry.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Always interrupt. In fact, sometime when Jim's talking about the
Kansas City Royals, here in a moment, just interrupting and
go ye, I'm gonna let you finish. But there was
just pull a Kanye West you would have on Sunday
afternoon though, near one hundred and thirty eighth and birch Wood.
That's on that road there between Q and Harrison that
goes by the airport, And there was a guy who

(21:17):
is an alleged drunk driver who drove down that road
and hit everything. He just ate like a pinball. The
family's out in their yard nearby and they hear a bang.
It started when he hit a light pole and then
he backed off of that and thought, I don't know

(21:38):
who put this light pole in the middle of the road,
but I'm going to keep driving. And that's when he
According to what we saw, in the ring doorbell camera
for this family. Their cars are in their driveway. The
family is on the other side of the cars in
their yard. Here comes the alleged drunk driver, and if
he's not drunk, there are a lot more issues that

(21:59):
need to be figured out. He goes flying over their curb,
over a retaining wall, slams into one of the cars
in their driveway. The family's on the other side of
that car. They're like, what the you know? Their kids
are out in the yard playing ball or whatever. And
then this guy same thing with the light pole. He's like,
I don't I don't know what is going on with

(22:19):
this road, but there's jug all over the middle of it.
So he starts trying to back out, but he can't
because he's stuck between a car and a retaining wall
and a guy's driveway. Police caught up with him and
he's now facing several charges. The family probably hasn't slept
since Sunday.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Did they catch him? Did they catch up with him?
Still close to the scene.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah, you can see it and hear it in the
doorbell camera. He's spinning his wheels trying to back out
of this thing. Can you imagine this you're there in
your yard. You know, you're weed whacken or something. You
look over and you see this and you're like, what
is this guy doing? And you know that they locked
eyes with him where he was like, hey, sorry, I

(23:04):
gotta go though, and he's trying to He's stuck, having
just almost taken out your family all right there in
your driveway.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
I'm just wondering if they caught him there or if
they caught him later at home. I mean, it would
make a difference in.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
The case police caught him. I think there. I don't
think he got out of that situation. He couldn't unless
he tried to get out of the car and stagger away.

Speaker 6 (23:26):
People filling their gas tank say that the high price
of gas is hurting their budgets and their families. It's
crazy just that.

Speaker 5 (23:33):
I think it's ridiculous for somebody who has to work
two full time jobs to survive.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
This is not what I need right now. It's outrageous.
I drive every day and it's becoming a struggle. I
have two kids and I'm ownA budget. Do you cut
back on going places? Absolutely?

Speaker 6 (23:48):
He says they had to cancel a planned Mother's Day
visit to the children's grandmother an hour and a half
away because of high gas prices. The Nebraska average price
is four h six a gallon this morning, eight cents
higher than yesterday. A year ago, gas was under three dollars.
I'm Craig Evans News Radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Ladies and gentlemen. We have reached that point in the
morning where I think it's time for us to do
some math. This was a guy who said, we wanted
to go visit my mom for Mother's Day weekend, but
she lives an hour and a half away, and I
can't afford the gas. Gas prices are too high, so
we're not gonna go visit my mom. I'm not gonna

(24:28):
take my kids up to visit their grandma from Mother's Day.
All right, let's do some math hour and a half away,
presuming that they don't live on the interstate. Mom doesn't
live right off the interstate. There's gonna be some time,
so we can't just figure on ninety miles away for
your ninety minute drive here. I think we should probably
conservatively estimate it as mom lives seventy five miles away.

(24:52):
So let's say your car gets twenty five miles per gallon.
That's gonna be three gallons up, three gallons back at
six gallons to go visit mom. So let's say you're
paying two dollars more than a year ago to go
visit Mom, an extra two dollars per gallon, six gallon total.

(25:18):
You just told your mom, We're not gonna come see
you for Mother's Day because I'm not going to pay
an extra twelve bucks to come see Now. I know
I'm the guy who started off coming in hot Monday
morning complaining about gas prices. That's because you were down
in another state, driving all over the Midwest over the
last week here. And yeah, I'll complain, but I'm still going.

(25:41):
I just don't like paying the extra money because I
don't know what we're doing in Iran right now. Are
to have a nuclear weapon? No, I don't, but I
thought we already destroyed by the president's own admission, we
already took out Iran's ability to have nukes. And he
keeps saying like they got no navy, we tug all
that stuff out, And what are we doing? Who are

(26:01):
we negotiating with? And with whom are we negotiating? I'll
say it both ways, for the English teachers listening this morning,
so that I was just wondering, like, all right, what
are we doing? How long we gonna be doing it?
How high is gas gonna go? But I'm not gonna
tell my mom, Hey, we can't come up and visit you.
Gas prices are higher, and I thought, I'm not gonna

(26:22):
pay twelve bucks to go visit mom from Mother's Day?
Is that all she means to you? Twelve bucks? We
would have done for eight. I can't afford an extra tour, Dude,
I'll give that guy twelve bucks, go visit your mom
twelve bucks.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Times are tough out there. People can't make ends meet.
They know they're gonna have pay more for Husker volleyball tickets.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
If you can't. So the decision is, I'm either paying
more for Husker volleyball tickets or twelve dollars extra to
go visit people are strapped if you can't afford it,
Decisions got to make priorities. I'm not suggesting, nor am
I making fun of people or in such a situation
that they can afford an extra twelve dollars. A lot
of people in that position, that's fine, but it's twelve

(27:09):
dollars on top of this and that I know, but
if your entire financial picture is suddenly flipped on its
head thanks to an extra twelve dollars, then gas prices
are not the issue. There are other issues there and
I'm I'm sympathetic, might be onto something, but twelve bu dude,
we got to kick in for nil players. You know,

(27:29):
people are passing the hat. They need money for the players.
Your mom raised you better than that. Spend that twelve
bucks extra. Go visit your mother. It's your mom Mother's Day.
We've done that. I'm not yelling.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
I'm not real happy with my children right now, but
you know they've got other things to do on Mother's Day.
And I use guilt as a weapon as a club,
but it didn't work. So you really need to come
up and see your mother. Don't know how many more
mother Day Mother's Days she's gonna have.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Oh you didn't do that, yeah you, Oh my gosh,
you paved the guilt trip for them, and they still
didn't go down that road. And now and I got
I was rejected with prejudice that one. Yikes. All right,
they've got their own lives. We'll explore more of Jim's
family dynamic coming up. Do you know that I think
we got through, and I probably shouldn't. I'm not bragging

(28:17):
about this, and I probably shouldn't admit this. It sounds
like dereliction of duty. But I think that in the
last segment where the name President Trump was dropped. In
that last segment, I think that's the first time in
a couple of days we've even swerved back into mentioning
the UH national and geopolitical politics that emanate from the

(28:37):
White House and truth social posts. I don't think we
talked about President Trump at all on yesterday's program, So we.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Go an entire program without talking about it.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
I know it's funny if you step back, you talk
about geopolitics. If you step back and look at the
totality of Trump's foreign policy successes, it's pretty dramatic.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Think about it. They're about ready to wrap up the Iran.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Deal, which not only not only neutralizes Iram, but it
neutralizes any threat that they would have a nuclear weapon.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Otherwise he won't accept the terms.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Venezuela was at rogue state and a sponsor of terrorism.
It's now like the fifty first state. It's producing oil
that we are using to leverage against Iran and to
buffet our own energy supplies.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
And cut off China, Iran and Venezuelan oil, China and.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
North Korea and some of the other bad guys. And
he's about ready to turn Cuba back into that you know,
winter time paradise we enjoyed before our good friend Fidel
Castro took over. If you look around, Trump's foreign policy
is better than about anything that happens since Reagan ended
the Cold War.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
A couple of wet blanket issues on that just slight.
I don't want to be that guy called me negative
number one. We still have no idea with whom we
are negotiating and trying to get a piecetreal agreed to
with Iran. Who's in charge over there the ai Atola,
We have no We don't know if anyone's even alive.
It's probably a chat bot who's Maybe it's the gang

(30:11):
members that are shooting at our ships with like sling
shots and like bows and arrows that you buy at
a gas station in Austin's. Yeah, so, President Trump says,
assuming Iran agrees to give what's been agreed to, which
is perhaps a big assumption. The already legendary epic fury
will be at an end. But he says if the bombing,
if they don't, the bombing starts and will be much

(30:33):
bigger and higher level of intensity than it was before,
which of course he is maybe blustered. They don't know,
maybe it's not all of it's true.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
But you know that the strait is shut off, the
quarantine is working. There are three hundred ships sitting there
with oil on them in the Strait of Horror moves.
Iran's losing five hundred million dollars a day on this.
What's left of their navy are a couple of tug
boats that work at about five miles an hour that

(31:02):
we just shoot out with our with our handguns. But
the truth is, in totality, he's winning the geopolitical battle
bigger and better than any president we've had in a
long time. Just look at the facts. That's that's not
the talking about.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
True. The Iranian navy is like a sixteen foot bass
boat with an Evan Rude motor. But I said I
had two wet blanket issues and all your stuff you
mentioned there. We don't have greenland yet, and I want greenland.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
That's next I got to get Cuba first because Cuba
is a great spot for a vacation.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Greenland is clearly more important than all the rest of them.
We pointed out earlier Craig Evans had a news update.
This guy was like, I can't even afford gas. Price
is so high. I can't afford to go see my mom.
She lives an hour and a half away. She sounded
just like that gazs price is so you can't And
we did the math and figured out it was going
to be an extra twelve flipping dollars for this guy

(32:00):
to go see his mom. And he's not gonna go
see his mom, take his kids see grandma for Mother's
Day weekend for twelve bucks. Emails into the Zunker's custom
was inbox Scott at kfab dot com. Tom says, Scott,
thank you for pointing out that about the trip to
old Grandma's house. I was literally just typing the same

(32:21):
math to you when it popped up. Thank you for
pointing out the ignorance of the left. Kevin says, it
sounds so dramatic when you say you can't afford to
see mom this year. It's not so dramatic when you
point out it's an extra twelve bucks. I don't care
if that guy's listening. If that was a local report,

(32:44):
I don't know if that was, I don't know where
it came from. I hope that guy's mom is listening.
And anyone else, any of the rest of you who
are gonna make up some lame oh down on my luck,
can't afford to come see you. Gas price this is
so high. Sorry, you got to come up with a
better excuse. You tell your mother, your poor mother, that

(33:07):
you can't you're not gonna come up and see her.
She lives an hour and a half away, being extra
twelve bucks because of the extra gas prizes. You better hope,
and I don't say this, well, I do say it glibly.
You better hope your dad is either dead or shocked

(33:27):
up with a younger woman and hasn't talked to you
in years, because if he finds out that you told
your poor mother you're not gonna come see her for
Mother's Day weekend for twelve bucks, well he would he
slapped the taste right out your mouth.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Wait a minute, done, what there is one caveat what
if he's driving In nineteen seventy six, LTD that's going
to be more than twelve bucks.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Nineteen seventy six Ltd. That was a band with Jeffrey Osborne,
wasn't that right, nineteen seventies.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
It's also a car, oh it was?

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Okay? All right, okay, well all right, so let's say, like, well,
it's cost more than twelve bucks that I drive. I
drive a nineteen ninety three hum Vy. They're just not
fuel efficient. Then that's your problem. The gas prices are
an issue. I'm not saying they're not. But your problem
is that you're driving a tank. It gets four miles

(34:23):
a gallon. It's more than twelve bucks. All right, that's
your problem, dude.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Let's just say it. I'll say it. I don't care.
He doesn't like his mother in law.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
He didn't say mother in law. It's his mom.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
But he doesn't like his mom.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
I know this is yeah, And he just laid it
out there for kfab Nation to judge, and he is
being judge harshlett. Now all right, I'll try and put
myself and everyone's shoes here. Give him the benefit of
the doubt. Maybe his mother sucks. She might she maybe
she's just a horrible person, might be the worst We

(34:54):
haven't factored that in. It could be the Jim Roses
back here in the studio. His mom could be Anne
Ramsey from Goonies exactly. Throw mama from the train, ohen.
Mama could be Howard Wallawitz's mom. How what are you know?
And then get me out of the top. I think

(35:14):
his mother's probably a saint and you're making an assumption
and she needs to call him up and say, you
know what, we always thought you were switched to birth
and then start singing that Genesis song. You're no son
of mine. Starts singing that song to him. This is
a good time. Hey, it's Mother's Day weekend. What a
great time to disown your child. Then on Mother's Day weekend,

(35:36):
twelve bucks. I'm so mad at that guy. I'm gonna
go I'm I'm so mad at that guy. I'm gonna
consider actually sending my mam a text, you know, just
to step up for sons. My mom lives down the
street from me. I'm a text her It's Mother's Day.
From the talkback Mike, we let you talk on this
program as well. All you gotta do is when listening
to us on our free iHeartRadio app, which is available

(35:59):
anywhere you are are with this station, you can preset
with podcasts. You can pull up right there on our app.
It's super easy. And there's a little picture of a
microphone on there. You touch that microphone button, you record
a message, and you send it in to the Zonker's
custom was inbox.

Speaker 5 (36:15):
Hey, good morning and happy Wednesday. Say, I wondered if
you guys saw the Washington Huskies women's soccer team getting
beat by a U fourteen boys soccer team. So I
wondered what you fourteen meant? It meant fourteen and under
a fourteen year old boys soccer team beat the Washington

(36:36):
Huskies girls soccer team. Okay, any more trans testical questions?

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Good gravy? What was that word? Trans testicle? What transgender questions? Yeah,
there are a lot of people pointing that out. And
by the way, that did happen last week? The University
of women's soccer team had a match against a quote
unquote men's team, men's This is a fourteen U boys

(37:09):
soccer team. Not the first time this has happened. There
was a fifteen U boys soccer team that beat the
women's national team in twenty seventeen, the one that was
fresh off of women's World Cup win a couple of
years prior. A bunch of fifteen year old kids in
Dallas beat them five to two. The Swiss women's national
team lost about the same time to a fifteen U

(37:30):
boys team seven to one. Husky's lost to this fourteen
U boys team. I don't know what the score was,
and they say, well, practicing against men is the same
as if you know that you're playing a baseball team
and their top pitcher throws ninety miles an hour, you
want to set your pitching machine to one hundred. That
way those pitches look better. The jury has already rendered

(37:55):
this conclusion on this one. There is a business here
in the Omaha metro area because there is a woman
who's been keeping me apprized of the situation throughout this
women's amateur pickleball season where they're playing against a guy
who's more athletic and he's much better than these women,

(38:16):
and these women are like, look, this guy can live
the life he wants to live. We got into this
league at this local sports bar establishment because we thought
it would be, you know, kind of a fun recreational league,
and this guy is out there taking it very very seriously.
And I don't know where he gets off thinking it's fun.
It's going there and just pound these women in pickleball.

(38:38):
But so and of course the establishment won't say anything
about it. They're just hoping the season ends as quickly
and as quietly as possible. And I'm not naming them
as their business they can do what they want. But
I told this woman, if you and your teammates want
to come on the radio and make a case of it,
I'll let you do it. We'll reach out to the

(38:58):
business see if they have anything to say, But thus
far they're not saying anything to anyone about it. This
is sounds like a lack of leadership to me. That's
right now. Mike emails Scott atkfab dot com and accuses
us of treating the high gas prices like a as
he says, quote a Big Morning Zoo joke, says, we
sound like out of touch in the bubble coastal elites

(39:20):
making fun of this. Look, Frank or Mike or whatever
your name is, Bodia, we'll treat everything like a joke. Eventually.
I'm Scott Vorhis here with Jim Rose, Lucy Chapman Craig's
at craig Evans, Courtney, Donahoe and now eleven to ten kfab.
National correspondent Rory O'Neill joins us here on Nebraska's Morning News.
The gas prices are not funny when it comes to

(39:42):
the rising costs everything. Gas prices go up, everything goes up,
especially in the restaurant business, right.

Speaker 7 (39:47):
Rory, especially when we're talking about those diesel prices, because
diesel gets into everything. Farmers know that clearly, because it
costs money for a lot of Diesel goes into growing crops,
harvest the getting them to market, and then getting them
out to the restaurants that ultimately serve us. And we're
looking at not only higher costs for restaurants, say for

(40:10):
this upcoming Mother's Day weekend, but then people don't have
that disposable income either, so maybe it'll be eggs for
mom this year rather than sick.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
All right, Well, here's what we were talking about, Rory.
Let me get your take on this. There was a
guy whining that he can't go visit his mom, she
lives about an hour and a half away because of
high gas prices. And we figured that the extra cost
of maybe a couple dollars a gallon. For the six
gallons of gas he would spend to go see month
is twelve extra dollars. And he's not going to go

(40:41):
see his mom for twelve bucks. We called him a
horrible son. What's your thought, Well.

Speaker 7 (40:47):
That's a little extreme, but I think that it shows
you the psychological impact of these prices, because again, we
drive by the gas sign one hundred times before we
actually stopped to have to get guests. So we see
it and we, oh, gosh, it's up twenty cents from yesterday.
Oh gosh, it was forty cents cheaper a week ago.
But we still haven't stopped to buy gas. So to

(41:09):
your point, when you actually buy the gas, put it
in the tank, Yeah, you're talking about ten twelve dollars difference.
It's not much, but that's one car. Likely there are two,
maybe three cars in the household. Suddenly that starts to
add up too.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
Oh I know, I got a sixteen year old son.
I get it. I have not yet begun to get extreme.
But oil prices are down about seven percent right now.
If that were the case the other way, if they're
up seven percent, we'd be paying an extra fifty cents
a gallon for gas by noon. But if it goes down,
it's like, well, it takes a while for price to
come down. Liars and thieves, rory, liars and thieves. I

(41:46):
want to like a.

Speaker 7 (41:47):
Rocket down like a feather. That's the model. Remember that.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
I want to get your thoughts on another story that
you're reporting on this morning, and that is what I saw.
That Vladimir Putin is in an underground bunker with Dick
Cheney or something like that. He's afraid that what the
Ukrainians are coming after and what's going on.

Speaker 7 (42:03):
Yeah, it's almost that bad, either the Ukrainians or perhaps
a coup inside Russia with a lot of frustration about
this war with Ukraine that seems to be dragging on.
You know the numbers, thirty thousand Russian soldiers, maybe North
Koreans too, but thirty thousand of them are being killed
or wounded every month and this has taken an economic

(42:25):
told the big military parade that Russia has to celebrate
the victory over the Nazis is set to take place
on the ninth. They asked for a ceasefire with Ukraine
so that they could bring enough soldiers back and military
hardware to actually take part in the parade. Otherwise it's
all being deployed across Ukraine.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
I don't see Zelensky having the hard to say, yeah, Russia,
whatever you guys need to get on the men, then
you can come back and attack us again. Rory, great
conversation as always, Thanks for the time, Thanks God. That's
eleven ten KFAB national correspondent Rory O'Neill here on Nebraska's
Morning News. And if you yet to email me this
morning via the Zonker's custom was inbox, Scott at kfab

(43:05):
dot com and call me in out of touch in
the bubble coastal elite liberal sounding blow hard than please
send in that email. How will I know unless you
tell me Scott at kfab dot com. Here's another example
on where you might want to say this. Now look, now, look,
I'm not saying this isn't a lot of money. This

(43:27):
is an exorbitant amount of money, but there is a
way around it. Because I didn't get charged this amount
of money. I'm guessing that Jim and Lucy didn't get
charged this amount of money. The amount of money is
in this guy's case eight hundred and twenty eight dollars.
Some people paid a little bit less, some people paid
a little bit more. These people are the ones who

(43:50):
went to the Omaha City Board of Equalization meeting yesterday.
Oh shoot, was that yesterday? I missed it? So why
did these guys go on there? About ten property owners
filed protests went over there and complained to the board
and said, look at this bill you guys gave me
in the City of Omaha. I can't I pay this
much money. It's ridiculous. Why did they get the charge?

(44:12):
Because the way it works is we get a significant
amount of snow, You get so much time to get
the snow off of your sidewalk in front of your house.
If you don't do that, the City of Omaha, by
virtue of this is lost in the story from First
Alert six News. By virtue of one of your neighbors

(44:33):
calling the city to complain about you Stan didn't clean
up his sidewalk in front of his house. Rather than
going over to see what stands issue might be, he
might be in there clinging to life. You don't care.
You just called up the city like you send someone out.
My kids have to walk in the snow on their
way to school. Your kids are gonna be walking in

(44:54):
the snow anyway, their kids, they should be walking in
the snow.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
Don't walk in the snow. They don't walk too.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
Should well, not too many anymore. City sends out a
contractor and they'll happily clean. And this is after I think.
The first thing they do is they put a little
door hanger saying, if you don't get the snow off
your sidewalk, we're sending someone out to do it, and
we'll charge you for it.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
I don't use my front door, That's.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
What one guy said. He does, I go in my garage.
I didn't know there was a door hanger.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Yeah, but you knew that there was a door.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
You knew the front door. I don't even think that works.
I don't know where the key is. You knew that
there was snow on the sidewalk in front of your
house though you could see that true, and you didn't
clean it up.

Speaker 6 (45:34):
Well.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
I was waiting for it to melt next week. So
they send out a contractor. Contractor does it, and then
you get a bill. This guy got a bill for
eight hundred and twenty eight dollars. I want that job
his I know his sidewalk doesn't look like the you
know Lewis and Clark trail or anything like that. It's
just sidewalk sized. And they did it and charged him

(45:56):
eight hundred and twenty eight dollars, So they went to
dispute their bills. I don't blame them, But like I said,
did you get a charge Lucy for eight hundred and
twenty eight dollars to clean off your sidewalks?

Speaker 2 (46:07):
No, but I would absolutely dispute the total. I would
dispute the amount.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
Or here's another thing. You could just be a good
neighbor and shovel the sidewalk.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
Yeah, but if it's not your Yeah, but if you can't,
what if you are an elderly person and you just
can't get out there and get it.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
Done, then you either pay a kid to do it,
or your neighbors know you.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
Kids don't do that anymore.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
Your neighbor they can't. They some do therefore, or your
neighbors know you, they know your situation, and a strapping
young man or his father and or his father come
over and they clean your sidewalk for you.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
No, keep your eyes on your neighbors when they need help.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
Yeah, and then you know Gladys looks out her curtains
and you give her a wave and she's like, oh,
thank you. You know, that's that's how people used to do.
We can do that again. We can be decent people again.
And if not, the charge for not being decent eight
hundred and twenty eight dollars. Craig Evans just gave us
the story of the guys saying, yeah, I'm not gonna
go see my mom hour and a half away. Gas

(47:14):
price is too high. We figured that's probably an extra
twelve dollars to go see mom. And if you can't
afford extra twelve bucks to go see your poor mother
on Mother's Day weekend, your bad son, bad son, well,
at least give her a call, send her a text,
like I'm gonna do send her a text.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
Your sensitivity is overwhelming, eh, send her a text, yeah,
and use some emojis and see if she can figure
it out.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
Oh she'll Here's what I'll do for my mom on
Mother's Day. She'll send me a text, just kind of
a hint because she hadn't heard from me all day,
Just a little hint like, hey, hope you're having a
nice Sunday, and I'll just heart it.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
No, let's see if you can put in the least
amount of effort possible and still assuage the guilt that
is ravaging your soul for being such a crappy son.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
Thankfully, I hope my mom is listening and laughing at this.
That's you. Wonder where I got my sense of humor.
It's she's very, very funny.

Speaker 3 (48:13):
One time, Satomaire and I called our moms on the
Friday before Mother's Day on this radio show.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Yeah, I remember that this good stuff. Satimayer's mom said,
who is this? I remember that there is some messages,
some messages here and there. I'm on the radio. You
are too stop it. H Zonker's costin was inbox Scott
at kfab dot com. Dave says Scott, I was just
behind a heavyset person brand new iPhone using thirty dollars

(48:40):
thirteen dollars cappuccino eight dollars muffin purchaser at Starbucks who
was concerned about the gas prices. So I wish you
would do the same. Being fluent and sarcasm, Dave, I
appreciate that email. Greg's along the same lines, saying, I
wonder how many of these people complained about gas prices,
drink smoke, or of multiple page streaming services. Maybe they

(49:02):
could cut corners somewhere well, to be serious for a moment,
they will we can't pay we we shouldn't and Trump
has told us we shouldn't pay this much for gas
for too long. Yeah, this is awful right now. And
like I often say about all elected officials, I hope
they know what they're doing. Good news here today. We've

(49:24):
seen good news here and there throughout the last month
or two. We've been messing around with whatever's going on
in I run. I certainly hope it leads somewhere. I
don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons. I don't want
Council Bluffs to have nuclear weapons. You know, let's let's
try and bring this in.

Speaker 3 (49:42):
We can barely live with North Korea having nuclear weapons,
and thank goodness, China is keeping a leash on that guy.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
I don't think North Korea has nukes. Yeah they can't.
They can't even shoot rockets into the ocean. And doesn't
mean they don't have a nuke. All right, now, let's
go to the talkback Mike and see what you have
to say here this morning. Hey, good morning, guys.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
How about them Blue Jays against them Kansas Jayhawks last night.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
Uh right, yeah, that's good stuff there. Thank you very
much for that message. And oh, this is on the
guy who went and complained to the city that they
charged him eight hundred and twenty eight dollars to have
a contractor go out and clear his sidewalk a snow
this past winter, but one time because he wouldn't do it. Yeah,
it's a one time charge. Yeah, it's exorbitant. And uh,

(50:25):
maybe you just I don't know, clean the snow off
your sidewalk like a normal person. And I reminded him
and you when this happened, it is because your neighbors
called the city on you, So we get this.

Speaker 4 (50:38):
Maybe all the neighbors hate this person's guts because they
don't clean up their yard. It's a trash heap. They
don't do this and they don't do that, so they're
hated by their neighbors. No one's gonna work with them.
I have one of those type of neighbors. They're scumbags.

Speaker 1 (50:55):
Don't you wish you could call out the city and
have them write your neighbor a one hundred and twenty
eight dollars ticket just for being a scumbag. So what
do they do tack that onto your property taxes? How
did they collect it? They just bill you?

Speaker 3 (51:09):
But what if you don't pay it? What's the recourse?
The stocks? The stock can they put you in the stocks? Oh,
they throw you in jail.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
You don't say this. They throw you in jail. They
put you in the stocks. We all get to go
down and throw tomato's. Actually I think it's a civil charge.
I don't think they lock you up. Probably do a
lean on your home, or that's what I mean. They
slap a lien on there. How about this? By the way,
you clean the snow off your sidewalks. Just do do that,
mow your grass.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
By the way, Creighton won that game nine to eight
in thirteen innings, over the number seventeen in the country.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
That's why it was exciting. I heard about that on
the AM radio this morning. You're here too in the
talk back, Mike.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
Could you give my named phone number information to the
man that got billed.

Speaker 5 (51:53):
Eight hundred and thirty eight dollars for snow removal. I'll
do it for three fifty. Thank you for your cooperation
on this matter.

Speaker 4 (52:03):
Have a great day, fellows.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
Yes, thank you for your attention to this matter. Oh
that reminds me we got a new one of these.
We need to listen in on here, Jim.

Speaker 8 (52:11):
Hold on me, fellow AMERICANOS ays to Presidente Favarto, your
favorite president, that I just wanted to wish you a
very happy Cinco di Porto, philis Cinco di Porto, the
day we celebrate getting rid of the illegal alien bed
ombre animals who are hurting our country. They're hurting a
lot of people in our country. And you look at

(52:33):
the radical f Democrats. They want them to stay. They
want to keep them. Like Akim Jeffries, we call him
Peso store Obama. He has a very small sombrero. Tiny sombrero.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
I have the.

Speaker 8 (52:46):
Biggest and beautiful sombrero in the history of the world.
He is a very small sombrero, and he's very embarrassed
by it. It's very small, that much I can tell you.
You look at the border. We've sealed up the border.
They say to me, signor the border is so tight.
It's tighter than Chris Christie's lap band. You know, he
had a lap band and he broke it. Nobody thought

(53:08):
it was possible, but he had the lap band and
he kept eating and he snapped it and he got
very big. You look at him, he's a gastad. We're
looking at deploying Chris Christy into the Strait of Hormuz
so he can gobble up all of the sea minds.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
They have their minds. He's gonna gobble them up.

Speaker 8 (53:27):
We call them snack man. He's like pac man walka walker.
He's gonna gobble up all of the mines, you know,
and fix the strait. We're also looking at deporting a
very horrible person by the name of Ilha Nomar. She
married her brother, which is a raw deal for the brother.
It's a horrible deal having to be married to such

(53:48):
a terrible person. But we're looking at sending her back
to Somalia, which is a dump of a country, Somalia.
So I hope you have a very happy and healthy
Sinko Deporta. Remember to thank Ice, remember to thank your
border protection, because without a secure border, we don't have
a country. God bless you, Felise Cinco de Porto, and

(54:11):
thank you for your attention to this matter.

Speaker 1 (54:13):
A Sean ferrush. They're another fantastic report from our favorite
Trump impersonator. I'm glad he brought up Bill han Omar.
She's very excited that Nebraska just got Maurice Purified the eleventh. Sure. Yeah,
she called them Maurice Purify the eleventh. Maurice Purifi eleventh
is gonna come into Nebraska. That's great.
