Autism, Homelessness and Fingers in Ears

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vordie. I had a rough time yesterday. I stopped
by to visit my mom and she wasn't she wasn't
feeling well and said she had a really bad headache,
and she asked me for some tailand al and I
had to tell my mom, with a pounding headache, I'm sorry,

(00:23):
I'm not giving it to you. I'm not going to
have I don't. My mom, to my knowledge, is not pregnant.
I mean she's entered, she's beyond child bearing years generally speaking,
but I'm not going to take any chances. I'm not
going to have any more of her kids being born

(00:44):
with any kind of issues. So I had to cut
her off and say no. The President, who can't pronounce
a seidomenifin, has said Thailand al not good. And a
lot of people have taken a look at this and
they've been mocking President Trump saying what does he know?

(01:07):
He's not a doctor. He's surrounded by TV people and activists,
and what do they know? They're not doctors.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Isn't that what allidents do?

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Right? And how dare the President come out and say
I don't know? We got some questions here about the
links between US mini spinafin and autism Thailand all not good.
And let's just take a look at let's just let's
just for one moment, if it's if you can find

(01:42):
it within you to admit I don't really know what
I'm talking about either, And now I know that's that's
tough for some people to admit. I'm talking about you
people I do. I'm in a unique position where I
absolutely know what I'm talking about at all times. And
you know, so I feel sorry for people like you
who live in ignorant bliss. Sometimes I feel sorry. Sometimes

(02:04):
it's more of a curse than a blessing, this knowing
everything that I have here. But you know, for other people,
they might have to come to the realization once in
a while. Is they hear someone talk to go, I
don't think that guy knows what he's talking about. And
then you have to realize, actually, either do I nor
am I. I'm not a doctor either. I'm not a

(02:24):
research scientist. So I will tell you as it turns out.
I don't know whether taking tailanol a sadomenefin is good
or bad at any point in pregnancy. Here's what I know.

(02:50):
I know that some people have fooled themselves into thinking
this is the enlightened age. The scientific strides that we've
made to this point in human history are not going
to go any further. We've gone as far as we
can go. Everyone knows everything related to science related to

(03:13):
climate change. And yes, there have been some people in
the past who have made mistakes. There have been some
interesting decisions made by science and doctors in our lifetimes
and before. But thank goodness that we're here in mid
to late September twenty twenty five, whereas it turns out,

(03:34):
this is the point in human history where we know
everything we can look back at, not all that long
ago in our history. For some of you, this was
something you heard on the radio, probably on this radio station.
Four out of five doctors recommend Winston cigarettes. You ever
hear anything like that when you were growing up at

(03:55):
probably at the end of a kid's show, probably the
end of a kid show where they bring out the
kid who plays you know, Michael Landon's son and some
cowboy show, and he comes out and goes, boy, I
sure do like these cigarettes. Now, Tommy, take it easy.
You've already had seven cigarettes today. Oh it's okay, my

(04:16):
doctor says, it's fine. You know this is something that
you probably grew up with. Four out of five doctors
recommend Winston's. You'd see a pregnant woman smoking. It takes
the edge off. That wasn't a million years ago. That
was like sixty years ago. I don't think seventeen years ago.

(04:36):
It's like sixty four and a half years ago.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
You were still no, they were still doing it. Fifty
years ago, really, well, maybe fifty two.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
There was a time in Italy, not a billion years ago,
where doctors in Italy recommended powdered soy. Pardon me, powdered
sowed dun. This would be the excrement from sows. Pigs
consuming powdered sow dung relieved labor pains, probably made you

(05:12):
forget all about those labor pains. So I was thinking.
There was also some advice. There was also some advice
that for women, if you didn't want to have any
babies anymore, here is an effective form of contraception. This
was a piece of advice from Italian doctors. Keeping weasel

(05:33):
testicles near one's bosom was an effective form of contraception.
And you know what I imagine it was.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
I was thinking more along the lines of the hormones
or the pheromones or something that might interact with your body.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
But no, you're right, I'm thinking about it from a
guy's perspective, like, hey, baby, how about you and me? Oh,
you know what, never mind, I've got places to be. Yeah,
a lot of guys have power through that kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Does anybody ever ask about the poor weasels later they alive?

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah, they've You know, you right, if you don't test
the the weasels, then you know what you get? You
get more weasels, and we can't have that. In the
early nineteen hundreds nineteen hundreds, when people walked into a
medical spa in this particular town in the Czech Republic,

(06:30):
the doctors thought it would be the best thing for
you when you first walked into this medical spa they
called it, to breathe in irradiated air that was circulating
in the lobby. They felt that'd be good for you.
That was basically taking a pipe with nothing but radon
and sucking it directly into your body. Radar, by the way,

(06:54):
one of the leading causes of lung cancer. This wasn't
five hundred years ago. This was like a hundred years ago.
And if you're like Scott, do you have any other
stupid things that happen in medieval times, the epoch, not
the restaurant. I'm sure I can find them, but I

(07:16):
don't have to go back that far. Let's go back
four years. If you take the vaccine, you can't get COVID.
And if you can't get COVID because the vaccine blocks
that COVID, then you can't give COVID to anybody else. Okay, Well,
if the people who want to get the vaccine can't

(07:37):
get COVID and therefore can't give it to anybody else,
do I need to take the vaccine? Oh? Yes, yes
you do. But why because because because we said you
have to. Doctor Anthony Fauci said you have to take it.
Why Well, we don't want people who are at risk

(07:59):
to get COVID, but they already got the vaccine you
told them to get, and you said that if they
get the vaccine, they can't get COVID, So it doesn't
matter if I get COVID. But why are you a
COVID denier? Why are you a vaccine denier? You don't
like science That wasn't in medieval times? That was four

(08:20):
years ago. And if you went on social media four
years ago and said I was told that if I
got the vaccine, I couldn't get COVID. I've gotten the vaccine,
I have COVID, they would bounce you off of social media.
How dare you so? Again? Tell me going back to
the main point here, when a group of people come

(08:41):
out and say we have some science to pass along,
immediately people say, how in the world do you guys know,
because we're already at the most enlightened point in history,
so therefore there is no more science. By the way,
they're eighty seven genders don't know if you guys picked

(09:04):
up on that, the science is very clear. We are
at the most enlightened point in history, and all the
science that there was to science has been scienced. I
learned that from who's the guy that did this song,
Thomas do Doctor Thomas Dolby. Yeah, we've got it all

(09:27):
figured out. So when you guys come out and say,
I don't know, we think that perhaps giving all the
vaccines to babies, including heppatitis B, which has generally passed
through intercourse or intravenious drug needles, better give that to
the kids. You never know these kids, they start younger
and younger, and this stuff. Might want to give them
all the vaccines at the same time. Could we spread

(09:49):
it out and maybe not do Hey, come on, who's
the doctor here? And the idea about as set a
menafin being given early in all in the pregnancy. Look,
I don't know, but a lot of the people who
are also not doctors, and some of the people who
are who have gone on social media in the wake

(10:10):
of yesterday's announcement by the President, which I thought was
incredibly reckless, I think that there are a lot of
people they don't know either. And the problem is is
that maybe President Trump does know. Maybe he sat down
there with the aliens at Roswell and they looked at

(10:32):
it and it turns out that, yeah, the science is
very clear. When you have this plus this and then
you've got a baby in utero, that kid's gonna have
a very good chance of being autistic. Thank you, Dweiseldorp,
the alien leader from planet beyond the Sun. I appreciate

(10:56):
the information here. Our minds are not strong enough to
be able to process that which even our best computers
and groc can't figure out. What Duezeldorp can figure out.
So the President gets this information, comes out and says,
I've seen the evidence, and here it is, by the way,
and it's all out there, and people are like, wow,
that does look like the evidence. The president, just by

(11:19):
the fact that his name is Donald Trump, there'll be
people to say, I don't believe him. He's lying, and
he's he's an idiot. I mean, the President come out
today and say I've talked to the doctors, and today's Tuesday.
People are like, that's I don't believe him. If anything,
it's Wednesday, Eve. I don't believe anything that man says.

(11:39):
So is there a link between taking tailand all early
in the pregnancy and autism? I don't know. I want
to talk about this not from a pseudoscience perspective, but
also a human one, and we'll do that next. Scott
Fores News Radio eleven ten KFAB yesterday here on this

(12:01):
radio station, during Emery Songer's show, they took live a
lot of the news conference featuring President Trump, RFK Junior
and others who, among other things, President Trump I did
say he was reckless. I don't know what would compel
a man to say tailand all not good? He said,

(12:23):
I'll say it, it's not good. Taking tyland All is
not good. I don't know what would compel a man
to say that, other than he must be very very
good friends with tailand All's lawyers, who I imagine we're
just sitting there just you could just hear their heads
going to change, to change, to change, chi ching. The
President of the United States telling people that a product

(12:46):
is not good, and then the maker of tailand All
came out and said, we disagree with the president's remarks.
Quote sound science clearly shows that taking a set of
metaphine does not cause autism. Unquote. Well, I don't know
that that's what the President said either. I don't think

(13:08):
he said. Yeah, if you if you have a headache
and you go upstairs and take a set of menafin,
you'll come down and have you'll be compelled to watch
Wapner at four. It's not like a link like, Hey,
the thing says you take two tail and All once
every six hours, and if you take any more than that,

(13:29):
then you'll be able to count all the match sticks
when they fall out of the box. Immediately. I got
I got a little bit of pain in my shoulder.
Take one of these if you take two, you'll be
counting cards. We are counting cards. How many more rain
Man references can I make here? All of your eighties
movie references? Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang

(13:51):
ding all of them? Not you say an expam the
future of Rock and Roll. I do like that movie,
So the president shouldn't have put it like that. It
gets in the way of not that there's anything the
President could have said that wouldn't cause this. But the
people who say I don't like Trump and I don't

(14:13):
care what proof he says he have, I don't believe him,
which is a dangerous place to be too. The thing
I wonder about are all the moms out there who
have kids who are autistic, and they're wondering, And this
is that human element I alluded to a moment ago,
and they're wondering as they look there at their precious

(14:35):
children who are autistic, some more high functioning verbal than others.
And they're looking at their kids, going did I do
something wrong? Should I not have? I don't even They're
probably thinking, how do I know what I took? I
didn't know. I didn't I didn't know. Did I do

(14:57):
something wrong? No? If I'm not qualified to say that definitively,
but I'm saying that definitively. No. If you think did
I do something wrong by maybe taking over the counter
medication to treat whether it was pains or a high

(15:19):
fever or whatever it was that I took, here, No,
you didn't do anything wrong. You if you just took
thailand Al or something like that, you didn't cause your
kid to be autistic. And as mothers of autistic kids know,

(15:41):
there's nothing wrong with my kid. My kid's autistic. This
other kid has red hair, and this kid likes to
bite his fingernails. Every kid's different. They're nothing wrong with
your kid. But I think that a lot of other
parents would say, well, I don't. If there was an

(16:04):
opportunity for my son not to be autistic, I would
love for that to happen. And that's where finally someone
is saying, look, we got like a huge increase in
autism rates here in this country. Yes, we're testing for
it more. Yes, there are people who are now on
the spectrum who you would look at and go, really,

(16:25):
I don't know. I mean, yes, why it's called spectrum,
And so there's a lot more people on that line.
But I mean, it's not crazy to suggest is there
any combination of things, whether it's the foods, whether it's
the vaccines all given to babies about the same time,
whether some of these vaccines shouldn't be given, whether they're

(16:45):
given too early, whether they're given too often, whether there's
a link between sidomenephin and taking this early in the pregnancy.
I don't know. I don't mind them asking the questions. Now,
what I heard yesterday wasn't a lot of questions. It
was yeah, Tayland Hall is not good. That was a

(17:05):
reckless thing for the President to say. So Yep, there's
another day in history where we come out the day
after and go I don't know why the President put
it that way. There will be more. But I don't
mind them, and I think them as this team asking
the questions, and I think that these parents and the
next generations of parents here deserve to have someone looking

(17:29):
at this stuff other than saying, well, but is there
any causal link between no, you science and I? Or
what are you anti vacs? Are you anti science? You
crazy person? What's the matter with you? That's how people
would get shut down for the last twenty thirty years
in this country. At least now these women are being
listened to. And who was it yesterday who made the

(17:51):
point that said, yeah, some of my friends on the
left side of the aisle say women are to be believed.
And then these women say I have questions about the
pregnancy and all this, and they're like, hey, science denier,
crazy person, Jenny McCarthy, why don't you shut up. At
least we're looking at it. At least they're being listened to.

(18:13):
People have their fingers in their ears, not just when
I come on the radio, But I think that there
are some people who are just predisposed that no matter
who is talking, I just automatically don't believe anything that
they say. As I mentioned in the last hour, President
Trump could come out there and say, yeah, we got
the evidence. Here it is. It turns out doing this

(18:34):
at the same time as this will lead to autism.
We figured it out, and we'll take your questions. Now,
there'll be some people are like, I don't believe any
of that. I don't believe any of that. It doesn't matter.
As I said, President Trump could come out and go
today is Tuesday, and people would say, I don't know,
I'm not going to believe it because he says it.

(18:55):
I mean, it's Wednesday, Eve. If anything, I don't know
that it's Tuesday. Why does he get to proclaim it Tuesday?
What makes him an authority on Tuesday? So people just
don't They have their fingers in their ears and it
doesn't it wouldn't matter. I'm not telling you. Hey, Trump
said that sidamenefin and autism causal link, and I believe
every single word of it. I don't. I just I

(19:17):
think it's interesting that people are now asking the questions
and listening to the moms and looking at some of
the other science involved here rather than what has been
happening for the last thirty years, and that is a
mother would say, yeah. But it seems like with this,
like whoa are you a science denier, crazy conspiracy theorist,

(19:38):
anti vaxer. You're dangerous. You're a dangerous person, and you're
like I thought I was a mom. I'm trying to
help other moms. I just I'm wondering. I just want
to ask the question. You're not allowed to ask the question.
Get her off Facebook. That seems like a dangerous path.
But I don't mind that they're asking the questions to

(19:59):
be fair President Trump didn't seem to be asking questions yesterday.
He seemed to be saying some things that I'm sure
that Tayland Hall's lawyers were very happy to hear the
President say. But this, it's just true that some people
have their fingers in their ears. And here's a stupid
but fair example of what I'm talking about, Lucy. Have

(20:23):
you seen the fireworks show that they just did, like
on a mountain side in Tibet. They did an incredible
like a path of fireworks that all exploded in colors
at the same time. It was on the side of
a mountain, and it trailed down and it looked like
a dragon that was just kind of doing a serpentine
movement down the side of the mountain, and it was

(20:46):
just so many different colors and it was just an
incredible timed explosion. And they got it all on you know,
like satellite imagery, so people could see this and it
was absolutely stunning. Have you seen that?

Speaker 2 (21:00):
I have to say, I have not been to Tibet lately,
and so no, I have not seen that.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Well, I was just in Tibet, that's why. Oh wait,
also also it's online. Oh no, you don't have to
go to Tibet or back in time to see it.
They preserved it for posterity on a video.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
You can do that now.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah, it's amazing. So it was like this daytime pyrotechnic
show where you could see this explosion of colors in
broad daylight. Absolutely incredible. But people are very very mad.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Why because it was during the day and all these
all were no explosions but no color.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
They said, I can't believe that they did this thing.
It's harmful to the mountain ecosystem, and how was this
ever approved for this ecologically sensitive region? And it doesn't
do anything for the company that did this. They they
kind of have a connection to, like an outdoor clothing

(22:03):
brand that's conversation Conversation conservation Focus, that's the one. And
it's just so much backlash and there's probably environmental impact. Now.
The scientists who was part of the team that did
all this stuff said, well, the fireworks were biodegradable materials,
and we did an environmental impact study before we did

(22:26):
this to make sure that the fragile ecosystem would not
be harmed. This did absolutely nothing. It's all fine, and
people are like, we're boycotting you, Like, wait, a second,
your concerned that we did this thing. We were telling you,

(22:47):
we made sure that we weren't going to do that,
and then we did it and we checked it and
turns out everything's fine. It's just everything's fine. Like what,
we don't believe you. People have their fingers. Yeah, people
have their fingers in their ears. That's in Tibet, closer

(23:08):
to home, unless you're listening to us in Tibet on
our free iHeartRadio app. But right here in Omaha, the
neighbors of the Elmwood Park neighborhood, there's a midtown Omaha
neighborhood we'll say southeast of seventy second and Dodge, that wonderful,

(23:30):
sprawling neighborhood. Elmwood Park neighbors have told KMTV three news.
Now we're seeing more homeless people in the area. And
it's not just in the park like in the neighborhoods,
and it's it's becoming a bigger and bigger problem. So

(23:53):
a reporter went out and talked to the president of
the Elmwood Park Neighborhood Association and the Midtown Alliance and
they said, oh, yeah, people have been living in the
shrubbery behind businesses. The shrubbery behind businesses, and we got
to get them out of the shrubbery. They shouldn't be

(24:14):
in the shrubbery. Holy grail. They said, there are safety risks,
and this is a quote from the story quote there
are safety risks and trash that accumulates, and defication and defication,

(24:34):
and people have children in this neighborhood. They're uncomfortable with
having this in their backyard. So it definitely needs to
be addressed, and it needed to be addressed a long
time ago, all right. So they went to the person
saying this stuff, president of the Midtown Alliance, the Elmwood
Park Association, and they said, well, Councilman Brinker Harding has

(24:56):
brought up this idea on finally something we can do
to clean out homeless encampments. And there would be criminal
penalties for people who are provided the path to help.
And they spit, not literally, but they spit in the
face of that help and say nope, I'm going back
on the streets, like well, you can't live on the streets.

(25:17):
We're giving you every opportunity to clean up, get the
help you need, get off the streets, and if you
choose not to do that, sorry, there will be a
criminal penalty. Otherwise there's no teeth to this. Otherwise, you
just go to someone who's living on private property in
some instances and go, hey, you can't live here. What
are you going to do about it? Nothing, You've got

(25:42):
to have some sort of punishment. So it's a possibility
that some people would face the fines of like up
to three hundred dollars, maybe even thirty days in jail.
And people say, you can find them a dollar, fifty
or a million dollars, doesn't matter, they don't have any money.
They're like, well, that's not the point. It's you can't
live on the streets. We are not gonna have homeless encampments.

(26:05):
We're not gonna have personal and private and public property
owners saying yeah, the trash and the defecation mountain over here,
like kids shouldn't be playing on that. So they went
to the people here and they said, the councilman is
suggesting that maybe we can do this clean it up,
and they said, well, we don't like that idea. It
sounds mean you're just you're the one that said safety risks.

(26:32):
We don't feel comfortable with our kids being here in
our neighborhood. All right, this guy wants to do something
about what's he gonna do? He's gonna get him out
of there? Well that sounds mean, all right, what idea
do you have? Well, thankfully, Mayor John Ewing Junior? Who
is It's amazing since he got elected, he's become Mayor

(26:54):
John Ewing Junior. I imagine. I guess he's the son
of the longtime Douglas County treasurer. When did we start
calling him Junior Junior? Sorry, daddy, there's another seventies movie
reference for this segment of the radio program Smoking the Bandit.
You know, Paul Williams is being inducted into the Nebraska

(27:17):
Music Hall of Fame. They're having a ceremony next month,
but he has a scheduling conflict and he's not coming
to town for it because I was trying to get
him back on the show. But it's good that they're
putting him in the Nebraska Music Hall of Fame. Paul
Williams not just little Nis from Smoking the Bandit. You
kiss your mother with that mouth? But also, you know,

(27:37):
he the songwriter, among other things, Rainbow Connection stop right
there right, an incredible song. He wrote some stuff for
the carpenters. He's amazing, but he is not able to
come to town for the ceremony high heels being inducted.
We love Paul Williams, we love Smoking the Bandit. Now,
where was I junior? Oh yeah, John Ewing, junior mayor,

(28:01):
son of longtime Douglas County Treasurer John Ewing. At some
point he got the junior attached to his name. I
didn't know that, but that's what all the media is
doing the same. He is the same. I'm just I'm
so he Mayor John Ewing says, well, we have a
plan to address the homeless encampment. All right, please introduce

(28:23):
us to this guy who has this plan. They had
a news conference yesterday and they bring this guy out
who looks like is it mean to say that? Yeah,
it is. I won't say it. If you start something,
what is it mean? Yeah, it would it would be.
I'll put it this way. It's like, hey, we're having
a news conference at city Hall. All the dignitaries and

(28:43):
the media will be there. He's like, Okay, I'll put
on my best T shirt and and meet you there.
But hey, I guess he would know, you know what
the so anyway, they get this guy and he says, well,
what we need is we need a more coordinated response
to the encampments with some flowery language and all this

(29:06):
and that, and we can't criminalize homelessness and all the
rest of this stuff. So we need to have our
site set on affordable housing, and we need to have
a task force to look at the issue is why
people are homeless and then try and get them into
affordable house. I did a rant the other day and
several other days on affordable housing. What, how, where? Who's

(29:27):
paying for it? Are? There's no such thing as affordable housing.
It's all gotten incredibly unaffordable. We have affordable housing for
the homeless. They're the homeless shelters Seeanna Francis House, the
Open Door Mission and others. And a lot of the
people out there in the streets say I'm not going there. Okay,

(29:47):
So then what you can't live in the Median, You
can't live in this little area here off of Saddle
Creek and Military and Cumming Street, there's that little area there.
We see a lot of them in that area, and
all over town. It's all over town. You go under
an overpass in Millard, there's people living under there, there's
a tent. You go into the shrubbery, the bushes, it

(30:11):
businesses from Midtown to Elkhorn, there's people living in there
they can't And the idea here from Mayor Ewing is well,
we're going to do a pilot plan to address the
homeless encampments. And we're just looking to I understand Brinker Harding,
the councilman. You know, he's running for Congress. He's trying
to get his name out there, and maybe he is,

(30:34):
maybe he's not. He's trying to do something about the
all the homeless encampments popping up around town. But you know,
we're just going to table this here. We're asking the
city council, if they're meeting tonight, to ignore Counselman Harding's
homeless ideas for a time of six months. Well, I'm
telling you right now, in six months from now, the

(30:54):
City of Omaha will be able to come back and say,
you'll notice, over the the last few months here, we
haven't had as much homelessness in our town. We haven't
seen the number of people living on the streets as
six months ago when Councilman Harding thought this is a problem,
maybe look around you right now, think about the last
couple of months. They look at the last three months.

(31:16):
Have you seen a lot of people living on the
streets to Omaha? You have not? Hey, we fixed it.
You know what else would have fixed it in that time?
Freaking winter? Six months from now is March. You're not
gonna see a lot of homelessness here when it's twenty
below zero throughout February, January, some parts of December. And

(31:37):
when we get into March, that's mud season. You don't
know what you're gonna get. You're just not gonna see
as much homeless encamments. We never do throughout the winter
cause it's cold. It's really really cold. And so this
idea of well, we're gonna table this idea what to
do about homeless en camments for six months. Then they'll
come back and go, well, we've seen a three thousand

(32:00):
percent decrease in visible homeless encampments in town. Yeah, it
turns out people don't want to go sleep on a
meetian when it's thirty five below zero. And then they'll
come out and say we fixed it Omaha. Man, these
people are shameless. They're just shameless. Meanwhile, I heard from

(32:28):
a guy who runs a business downtown he has a
good long term employee, saying, I'm tired of being threatened
by dangerous homeless people to come into this business and
want to fight me, and we call the cops. The
cops are like, well, when we got there, the person
was gone, what do you want us to do? We've
got to do something. And this idea of hey, let's

(32:50):
let winner freeze them out is not I mean, they'll
be effective in February. I'll give them that. This is
not an effective long term solution. So I don't know.
Ask the people. This rant started with the people at
Elmwood Park in the Midtown area saying, yeah, there was

(33:12):
the definitely an increase in homelessness. Well, do you want
us to get him out of here? Now? That sounds
mean we need affordable housing. Okay, we'll put affordable housing
right here in your neighborhood and you guys can pay
for it. That okay.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Did they fill out the applications?

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Yeah. Douglas County Sheriff Aaron Hansen said, if you want
to house a homeless person, here's an application online. I
did ask him about that the other day and he said,
no one has applied huh. Scott Boys Mornings nine to eleven,
