Daughters and Detention Centers

My whaa-whaa story about taking my little girl to college, followed by my response to some of the whaa-whaa complaints I've heard about the Cornhusker Clink.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott VORDIEZ, I am thankful to Glenn Beck for filling
in yesterday so I could take my daughter to college,
drop her off, and try and extract my wife from
my daughter using the jaws of life. It was rough, dude,

(00:21):
I'll say this. Emery Songer, I was hanging out with
him helping out his show on Tuesday, and he was
wrapping things up or at some point in his show,
I was talking about how there are more and more
people in America who just aren't having kids, and Emory
and his wife are those among those who they don't

(00:44):
have children. It's been a long bit on this radio
show to play this sound.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Now here's the part of the show where Lucy says
she's glad she doesn't have kids.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
And count me among those that, in situations like yesterday,
half of me understands, do not have them. Their miserable
life sucking money grubbing little pukes. All they do is take, take,
take from you financially and emotionally. It's like their little vampires,

(01:18):
sucking away decades of your life every single day. They
never say thank you hardly ever. And I do not
recommend if this were a Yelp review of children, I
would say, do not recommend.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
No stars, no stars. Yeah, but who's gonna take care
of you when you're old?

Speaker 1 (01:37):
I thought you were No? Is that not how this works?

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Well, first of all, I'm older than you, so that
wouldn't work out. I'll be old and crippled up before you.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
I can't wait you, and I'll just be on the radio,
just all old and crippled up.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Is that politically non correct?

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yes, this is the place for that.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
But I was talking about myself.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Right, Yeah. But well, anyway, I'm glad that that you're
here to help me through this because because the other
the other half of me is, like I told Gary
and Jim a little bit ago, there are a lot
of things that I've done with my kids where I've

(02:22):
just loved it and hated it so much at the
same time. I believe they call that the range of emotions,
the glass box of emotion. Here, Dang Anchorman. So we
took our daughter to college yesterday. It's not like she
went to college in Istanbul. She's in Manhattan, Kansas. She's

(02:44):
at k State that's three hours away, and it's it's
not that big a deal, but it is because this
is this is where you walk by her room every day.
She not in there, and my wife won't let me
turn it into a gym, as like, come on, she's

(03:06):
not here, let's go. I want to pump iron. She goes,
we can turn this into a gym. We've got all
the gym equipment down in the basement. You never use it.
I'm like, that's because it's not upstairs. So so my
wife won't let me turn in I'm kidding, she won't.
Here was the thing that got me though, because we

(03:27):
just went through this a few months ago, and how's
Scott's range of emotion in regard to his children. When
my daughter graduated from high school and Lucy said, you're
gonna lose it. You're gonna have a hard time during
the actual ceremony, I was okay with it. It was
some of the lasts going up to it, especially her

(03:48):
last show choir where she's up there smiling and dancing
with all of her friends, which she'd been doing for
four years in high school, that got me really really hard.
And for this instance, it actually wasn't the taken her
to school yesterday. It was I gotta think what day

(04:09):
this is? Because I was off yesterday and today's not Monday.
Don't take Wednesday off. Come in on a Thursday and go, hey,
how is your weekend? Because it's Thursday. Sorry, it's weird.
So Tuesday night we had, as my daughter described it
her last supper, hilarious, and my wife decided to do

(04:29):
something that has been a longtime tradition in our family.
And I have to imagine, even with eight billion plus people,
all these different people and families here on the planet,
I imagine our family is the only one that does
this because years ago, when the kids were very little,
I came home from work and my wife said, I'm

(04:52):
making tacos and I said, that's a fancy, fancy dinner.
Let me get dressed. And I went up and, like
over a T shirt or golf shirt or something, I
put on a tie. In selecting what tie I was
going to wear for this, I didn't I don't know
how I came to accumulate this tie. I imagine it
was a gag gift from somebody somewhere. It's a red

(05:15):
tie with little pictures of cows on it. So I
put on the cowtie and the kids thought that was funny,
and my wife rolled her eyes and thought Okay, I
guess we're doing that, and we started. So we did
the tacos and I had a tie on because it
was a fancy dinner. So then a few months later
we had another taco night, so I would go and
put on the tie. Now it became known as cowtie

(05:39):
Taco Night. And the kids got into the construction paper
and they cut out their own ties and drew pictures
of cow cows on it, or I think my daughter
just wrote on it cowtie. And so then for Christmas
a few years ago, I found a series of cow
ties and bought them for the family. So that way

(06:02):
when we sit down for cowti Taco Night, we can
all have real cow ties on. Like I said, this
is we're probably the only family on the planet that
does this. So we had one last cowtie Taco night
as a family where someone doesn't live someplace else for

(06:24):
part of her life, and that's what got me on
Tuesday night. Taking her to college yesterday was an experience
that I'm so glad that we were able to provide her.
You know, she's she's going down to k State and
people are like, oh, she going into agg Is she

(06:44):
going to be a veterinarian because they kind of specialize
in that thing. I said, no, she's leaning into teaching
a whole different rant, is what that's all about. I
have different thoughts about that too, But and people say teaching,
she can do that anywhere. Yes she can. I am

(07:05):
well aware of that. I know this is not exactly
the most financially viable thing for this kind of situation.
But the idea is is that we managed to get it.
Thanks thankfully, she has a number of scholarships. We got
it down to a doable number. It's three hours away,
which I think is a great distance away from home

(07:27):
for college. Maybe because that's what I did and it
seemed like it worked well, and you know, it just
kind of worked. So she has a cousin who goes
to school down there. She loves the school. It's a beauty.
It's a great campus. It's a fantastic campus. You know,
it's a real big university. And it's funny that that

(07:52):
real big university has all the problems of every other college,
which we found out yesterday as they gave us a map,
Like when you take your kid to college at a
big school like this, It was like, all right, this
is your move in time. You have to be here
at this time. You have a fifteen minute window. You
check in with this person. They'll be stationed here. Here's

(08:14):
your map to go in here and get everything out
of your car. Well, people there assisting you putting any
of the big stuff that you have into like a
rolling bin, and you get it in the car and
we get it in there, and you get your car
and you park your car eighty seven miles away in
some parking lot and you can let's go, let's go,
let's move it. I mean, it's stressful. I'm like, we

(08:35):
can't miss our move in time. We've got to get there.
We get and we get there, and we follow the
map and the map takes us into a parking lot
that is closed due to construction. There is no one
at that parking lot to say, yeah, sorry, I know
you guys got the wrong map for this particular dorm.
You have to go around to this side. There's no
one there. People are getting stuck in the parking lot

(08:57):
because there's really no way to turn around.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Get your money back yet, I know.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
I'm like, and here's the other fun part. She's moved
into a dorm down there where she's only going to
be there for a couple of months because there's a
dorm across the way that's under that's undergoing renovations, and
then they're gonna move these girls from the dorm they're
in now across the way to another dorm and they

(09:22):
can do renovations in the dorm that she's in now.
I'm like, so don't get too comfortable in here. You
might only be in here for two or three months,
not the entire year. But you know, it's whatever minor issues.
You know, we met her roommates, in her roommates' families,
and it's very nice thing, and it seems like this

(09:43):
will be a good combination. So no one cares about
any of that. The issue is, Scott, did you cry?
I had a couple of moments yesterday where I got
a little welled up. One was we were about a
half hour away from campus and I kind of remem, oh, yeah,
I forgot what we were doing, and it kind of

(10:04):
hit me. And then of course watching my wife start
crying spontaneously for the eighty seventh time yesterday, But this
one was appropriate. This is when we were hugging her goodbye,
So that got me The smartest thing we did yesterday though,
is we did take obviously two cars down there because

(10:26):
we don't live down there, So my daughter was driving
her car down there, and then my wife took my car,
and the question or we had we had the two cars,
The question was who's gonna ride with our daughter? And
it was decided by both my wife which was a
good idea on her part because she knew and my

(10:47):
daughter didn't fight her on it, that I would be
the one to drive down to school with my daughter yesterday.
My wife could be by herself, which I hated having
her by herself, especially, you know, since she was hit
getting hit with the emotions. So I drove down with
my daughter to prevent my wife from doing three hours

(11:10):
of last minute parenting advice because it would have been NonStop,
rapid fire and it would have driven my daughter insane.
I swear if my wife had been the one to
drive down to campus with in the car with my daughter,
it would just be stuff like, all right, what else?

(11:30):
Don't eat glass? I don't care. It looks shiny and
they have a lot of different colors of glass, but
you're not supposed to eat it, so you don't eat glass.
Sometimes you might look at a light bulb and think
I'm gonna eat it, but you can't do it because
then it becomes broken glass. And of course you shouldn't
eat broken glass. I think we covered that about forty
five minutes ago. So whether the glass is broken, even

(11:52):
if it's intact, like you got a nice glass vase
or something like that, and you think, can I eat that,
it's not broken, when you start chewing on it, it
will become broken glass. So that and as we already
discussed it, you are not to eat broken glass, So
don't do it. It doesn't matter if the glass has a
color tint to it or you know, and sometimes at

(12:12):
college everyone else is eating broken glass, but it's still
just because everyone else is doing it doesn't mean that
you should. Either. It's gonna your teeth are gonna be bleeding. Well,
the teeth don't bleed, it's the gums. Actually, the teeth
don't have blood in them, but your gums will be bleeding.
Not to mention what it could do to you know,
your throat, It could perforate a bowel. So that's a

(12:36):
as we cover here, do not eat glass. What else
did I tell you not to eat glass. I mean,
it would have been ridiculous for them to drive down
there together, so we didn't do that. Instead, my daughter
and I hung out listen to her playlist, just a

(12:58):
solid playlist. I was like, I raised this kid, right,
she has a really good playlist. She has a few
songs in her playlist from the sixties that I've never
heard from bands I've never heard of, where I had
to say, is this a real song that sounds like
is it from the sixties or does it just sound
like us from the sixties. She found some like girl group,
like garage band, girl group from the sixties and has

(13:21):
a song on there like I don't even know. She
had a Marvin Gaye song in her soundtrack that I've
never heard before. No, it wasn't sexual healing, like a
real deep track. I was like, we're she she said,
I don't know. It's in some TV show I watched
and I liked it, so I downloaded it. You know,
cool chick. My daughter so she's at college and as

(13:46):
I told her as the family sat down the other
night for dinner, I said, it's not that you're leaving
us that bothers me. It's that you're leaving us with him,
and then I looked at my son. So now we
got that. We got that to deal with.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
He's going to rule the roost.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
You No, he's not.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
He's going to play on your wife's sympathy. Sympathy, didn't
I yeah, sympathies.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Yeah, didn't. I already tell you how that went. I
told him as his big sister was graduating from high school,
I said, you know, when when your sister leaves and
you're the only one in the house, you can really
play this up. You told him that, Yeah, I told
I didn't tell you this. So this was last your.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
Sister was older. Huh No, no, oh okay, so you
left first.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah. So I told him, I said, you can really
play this to your advantage. Just you know, after after
Grace leaves for college, give it a few days. Then
walk around going, I, miss Grace, can we go to
Chick fil A?

Speaker 4 (14:58):
You know?

Speaker 1 (14:58):
I mean, you could really do this. So he thought
that sounded like a pretty good idea and waited all
of about five hours until he started. He walked into
the kitchen and my wife is in there, and he's like, I,
miss Grace, I'm really sad that Grace is leaving, Can
we go to Chick fil A? And I'm sitting over
here watching him do this. His sister is in the
next room, and my great and my my wife looks

(15:22):
at him and looks at me, and I'm just I
got my head in my hands, and my wife starts going,
wait a second, am I being played? Are you trying
to like play on my on my emotions right now?
Are you trying to like emotionally bribe me? And my
son just starts laughing. I'm over in the next room, going.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
You blew it, You blew it.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
You couldn't wait, could you? You blew it?

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Showed all his cards.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah, So that's uh, that's how that went yesterday, And
it was it was really nice. And there are some
kids who go to college and they're there for a
few hours of the first couple of days and they
go home that first weekend and they don't come back.

(16:05):
My wife is hoping that kind of partly helping that
our daughter is one of those kids. She's not. I
would say that watching her walk back into the dorm
as we were leaving was not as hard as watching
her walk into kindergarten with their little backpack on that.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
No because they're still cute.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Then I know that was that was rough. Yeah cute,
she's not, she's just old and so yeah, it was,
it was. It's it's good to know that, all right.
I raised a kid who can live on her own.
She's not going to be, you know, calling all the time,

(16:46):
going how do I do this? What do I do
in this situation? She's just going to figure it out
because she has for a long time been the most
emotionally secure, responsible and mature member of our family.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Where did you get it?

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Her father, the Milkman.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Scott Voorhies News Radio eleven tien Kfab.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Kevin emails Scott at kfab dot com saying you didn't
take your son to help you move his sister into college? No,
because he had high school yesterday. I wasn't taking him
out of school to go do this because my son
always wants to be involved in everything. He always wants

(17:32):
to go. But once we get anywhere, he's kind of
like Lucy, He's just like, how long do I have
to be here? You know? So Lucy's very much the
same way.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
I had no idea that you had picked up on that.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah how long? Yeah, I want to be there. I
want to be I want to be in. Lucy wants
to be invited, and then sometimes she'll show up. And
then when she shows up, she's like, how long do
I have to be here?

Speaker 3 (17:54):
That's because everybody ignores me?

Speaker 1 (17:57):
Who said that?

Speaker 3 (17:58):
The story of my life?

Speaker 1 (17:59):
So the best thing for I should have taken my
son down yesterday because it would have been really really
funny to watch him. Because in addition, and I don't
know that surely they exist somewhere, but there was something
that was really kind of a weird dynamic yesterday. My

(18:19):
daughter is one of these rare creatures who is a
girl who identifies as a girl. I know hardly anyone
does that anymore. I think they call it cis gender now.
We used to call it girls. But uh so, you
know she's there, she's living in on a dorm floor
with all girls, her roommates or girls, and so that's

(18:41):
you know, so that's that's girls. So and that area
of what we were doing yesterday was just all all
college girls. Also, the nearby sorority houses we're having rush
for freshman girls yesterday, many of whom got there a
couple of days early, so they've all he kind of
been there and moved in and from like that area

(19:04):
around there to over to the student union where we
went over and got some lunch. It's nothing but freshman
college girls who are sorority girls.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
And how were you able to keep all of this
information from him, because clearly you must.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Have my son, Well, it would have been it would
have been hilarious to watch him navigate that because I
imagine he just would have been walking around going, that
is the hottest girl I've had. No, No, that is
so all of the dad I got, calm down, sound,

(19:42):
I would have been plying cold compresses to his forehead.
It's okay.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
He didn't know this, Just calm down. Or you told
him he could not go.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
No, I told him he couldn't go. I didn't know
that there would be Oh like it looked like an
all girls college yesterday.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
Yeah, because the guys they bring in their duffel bag. Yeah,
I'm all moved in.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yeah, I'm saying I don't.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Know, right, give me some blankets.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
Right. And that's that's also a really weird dynamic for
college kids. Now you can buy virtue of social media,
you know months in advance who your roommate is going
to be or my daughter's case. Her roommates. She has
two other roommates. Oh, she must be in a really
big dorm room. No, it's I don't I don't really
understand it. But we made it work. And her roommates

(20:28):
seemed like very very nice girls. And and uh, they
seem like they all.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
Do I know, well they yeah on the parents' day.
Oh yeah, they're all angels.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Uh No, I mean I saw some weird dynamics. I
thought that's gonna I saw one girl in particular, I
thought she's gonna go She's one of those who's gonna
go home this weekend because they don't have to start
class till Monday, so they're just kind of in there
getting acclimated. This girl is going to go home this
this weekend and not come back, you can tell. I

(20:58):
saw another girl really sweet moment where she was telling
her parents goodbye and she was giving her brother a hug,
and I thought, it's really sweet. It was nice that
he was able to come here. And then he reared
back and they kissed full on the lips, and I thought, ah,
maybe that's not her brother, Maybe it is Kansas. So sorry,

(21:20):
I can't say stuff like Oh they were just cousins. Yeah,
what was I saying? Girls everywhere? Oh? You you can
meet your roommates now in advance, so you kind of
get to know them a little bit, which was very
different than when I showed up at Carney a million
years ago and like met my roommate, like, hey, I'm Scott,

(21:42):
I'm Shane. All right, then you just stare at each other.
You want the top bunk or the bottom bunk. I
guess we'll be just living together for the next several months. Nice,
nice to meet you. You want to get something to eat?
I'm good. All right, Well I'm gonna I'm gonna head out.
They're key or something. I don't know how to do this.

(22:03):
I mean, it was a well oiled machine yesterday, and
it was nice to see the girls all meet each
other and then try and extract the moms from the room.
I think the moms in all these instances were like,
all right, let's make sure this is done. Let's do this,
and have you guys thought about that? And I'm just
pulling them out of the room, going they have to

(22:24):
figure it out for themselves. This is all stuff they
can figure out themselves. Let's go let's go all right,
that's enough. I think that's enough of that unless I
come up with any other stories or make them up.
We've got important things to discuss on the radio today.
The corn Husker Clink is chief among them. We'll get

(22:45):
into that next.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Scott Boards.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Karen Emails says, we are literally taking our daughter to
college this morning while listening to you so perfect. Thanks
for making our emotional mourning full of laughs. Well, I
think that's about to come to an end because no
one has any kind of not that I not that

(23:08):
I think there's anything inherently funny about the reality of
what this is. But this news story has got people
completely bent out of shape, and I don't know. I'm
either going to try and bend you back into shape,
or maybe you're so hopelessly bent out of shape that
there's no hope for you, or you got yourself into

(23:30):
this politically emotional position because you want to. I have
to offer that up as a possible consideration here, that
some people are just one hundred percent angry all the
time because they want to be, and being angry all
the time and feeling like, well, this is the worst

(23:51):
that I thought yesterday was the worst day. Ever, but
today I woke up and things are even worse. Maybe
that gives you joy on some level, because as you
feel like you're the only decent person on the planet anymore,
and that makes you feel better somehow. If so, great,
I hope that's all working out for you, because this

(24:13):
story is exposing a lot of people to say a
lot of things that just simply aren't true. At the
root of the story is the reality of the situation.
There are people who have buy the millions, either come

(24:33):
into the country illegally or been allowed into the country
through whatever initially potentially legal means. But then that was
years ago, and then they were told, laughably, all right,
show back up here in this courtroom in five years
and we'll have a hearing on your request for asylum

(24:56):
or whatever. And no one ever showed up. And so
now you're in the country. You were let in through
whatever means necessary initially, and you've just decided, all right, well,
no one's ever gonna come looking for me. I'll just
stay here. Some of the people for whom this applies
are good, hardworking, decent people, and I hope that we

(25:16):
can find a way to get them within the boundaries
of law so they can continue being good, hardworking, decent
people in many instances, raising kids here who were born here.
Some aren't, and this is the part of the reality
that causes some people to bury their heads in the sand.

(25:37):
Some people aren't. Some people are willingly doing everything from
my identity theft to human and drug trafficking. They're gang members,
they are murderers. They never I mean, they used to
return their movies to applause video, but they didn't rewind it.
They would just watch that movie and say that it

(25:59):
was pretty good movie, and they wouldn't even rewind it.
They would just take it back and drop it in
the box. We're talking about some really bad people. You
ever get that copy of Three o'clock High. You're like, Oh,
I can't wait to watch this movie. All my friends
said it's a cult classic. And even though the movie

(26:19):
just came out and that term doesn't apply yet, I
got to see it. And then you turn it in
and you're watching the end credits, you're like, ah, you
got to rewind the whole thing. You got to rewind
and avert your eyes so you don't watch it being rewound,
Like I just watched the whole movie backwards.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
Just rewind it faster.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Boy, Jerry Mitchell doesn't know that how this day is
going to work out for him. Look how happy he
is here early in the movie. By the way, three
o'clock High is a cult classic, I highly recommend. So
we have bad people, rape, murder, wouldn't rewind their movies,
you know, the worst people you could possibly think of.

(27:01):
All right, what do we do with these individuals as
they're now being identified, they're being apprehended. They're home countries
in many instances don't want them back. But don't bring
him here. He's your problem. Now. Now we have other
nations who are saying, we can take a few here,

(27:22):
we can take a few there. L Salvador I think
Uganda is the latest one that said, yeah, give us
some money and we'll take your detainees. So now there's
a facility in Uganda. And of course we have Alligator
Alcatraz in Florida because Governor DeSantis there was the first

(27:44):
one to realize or have been impressed upon him. Look,
if you open your own detention center, the federal government
will pay you to hold on to these detainees until
such time as we can figure out where the going
to go or how all this is going to work.
It's not a concentration camp. That's the one thing that

(28:09):
I see identified again and again as people are like,
well this is a concentration camp. They're just rounding people
up who look Hispanic and they're putting them in cages.
No they're not. Again, I bring you to the ICE
operation here in Omaha. They didn't show up and say
you you got a decent tan get in the van.

(28:30):
They came with a list of names of people who
were identified as being involved in identity theft in some
instances worth things. It wasn't a raid, it was an operation.
This has been going on around the country. A lot
of people have been detained. They are in the country illegally.

(28:50):
And so therefore, when you're already considered a flight and
hiding risk, you can't arrest someone say all right, we
have arrested you and charge you with these crimes. Now
in the meantime you're free to go, but make sure
and come back to this courtroom here in seven months,
a year and a half or whatever. You'll never see

(29:12):
them again. We saw that in Omaha with the guy
who killed Sarah Rut He was allowed to go he
was in the country illegally. He fled thankfully earlier this year,
arrested and now will be made to face the charges
against him. But that happened. How long was that? Seven years? Six?

(29:35):
Seven years? We have to And if you're like, but
this is just wrong, No, it's not. If you go
out and you commit a serious crime today, you will
be arrested, you will be charged, you will be given
a court hearing, and if they determine you to be
a flight risk, you will not be allowed out. That's

(29:59):
how this worked. And for those saying.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
This is terrible, this is in America. We're incarcerating people.
People get incarcerated every day for any number of things.
So that's the other thing. They didn't just build this
facility there in McCook.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
It's already there. It's called the Nebraska Department of Corrections
Work Ethic Camp. It's a two hundred bed facility for
males who've been classified to all right, you served some
of your time, and we're gonna let you out at
some point. But in this minimum security prison out here,

(30:41):
you'll be given work tasks. It is in your best
interest not to flee this place. It's secure, but it's
minimum security. We're giving you some of the benefit of
the doubt. They're changing some of that up. It's not
gonna be minimum security, but the facility itself is already there.
It's already a work at the camp for American males.

(31:07):
So now we're taking those who are in the country
illegally and committing additional crimes, and we're putting them in
a facility that already exists for guys who have broken
the law. So for people in McCook to say, why
don't feel safe, You already had a correctional facility there.

(31:29):
It's in the same place. You're going to have more
federal supervision here and local supervision. And as far as
the federal dollars go, people say, well, this is a bribe.
The federal government's just paying correctional facilities to hold their detainees. Yeah,
you know when else they did this. They did this
under the Biden administration, they did this under the Trump

(31:50):
administration Part one, they did this under the Obama administration.
They did this under the Bush administration. I keep going
back to James K. Polk. I don't know about the
Polk administration, but for several decades, when someone's in the
country illegally and they're arrested and they're detained and they
have to face the charges against them, but it might

(32:11):
be a few weeks, a few months, whatever, and they're
determined to be a flight risk, they have to put
them somewhere. We don't have a lot of detention facilities,
so they would call up the local jail and say,
do you have room for this guy. We'll pay you.
Douglas County used to be a place that would get
that money and detain these guys, and then they said

(32:32):
under the Biden administration, in the first month the President
Biden's administration, they didn't want to do that anymore. So
Potawatamee County got all these guys and they've been raking
in the cash ever since then. And that's why Douglas
County was put on the Sanctuary City's community list, because
they said, we're not going to cooperate with ICE in
holding their detainees. But they shipped them over to Council

(32:55):
Bluffs and Potawatamee County held them and they got all
that money and we just didn't even though they were
arrested here by our people. This process is not new.
This facility is not new. The process of the federal
government paying local communities to hold their detainees not new.

(33:18):
What is new? The name? Oh yeah, the name. Let's
talk about that next.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Scott Voice News Radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
For those who are all bent out of shape about
the name of this facility, the corn Husker Clink. That
is a nickname. Should you find yourself in the thriving
metropolis of McCook, Nebraska and you happen upon this place,
there's not a neon sign that says welcome to the
corn Husker Clink. It's not sanctioned by the University of Nebraska.

(33:50):
It has no affiliation with the college or the football
or athletic programs there. It is a nickname. So people
are like, well, the university needs to tell them they
can't do it's it's a it's a stupid it is
a stupid nickname. Because we did this on our show
a few weeks ago that if we got one of
these facilities, what should we call it? And we decided

(34:13):
it should be called the corn Hole, kind of like
that one. The Sandhills Slammer was another good one, good one,
but the corn Hole. Uh, there's no name on this facility.
And by the way, you wouldn't It wouldn't matter to
you what they called it. You would still hate it.
So you're just choosing to I don't like the name.

(34:36):
Oh if they changed the name, are you okay with it?
Are you going to stop the lawsuits? A you gonna
stop whining and complaining about it. I'm not gonna stop
whining and complaining. Some of your emails are kind of
whiny and complaining. We'll get to them next. Lucy Chapman
is right there. People immediately started yelling and screaming when
it was announced on Tuesday afternoon that Nebraska would be

(34:58):
as we knew weeks ago, Nebraska would be one of
the areas where there would be an illegal immigration detention center.
As I ranted about in the last hour, we already
have detention centers. Sometimes the detention centers have been the
correctional facilities that already exist in the federal government going

(35:19):
back several presidencies, pays the local communities correctional facilities to
hold on to detainees. The reason is that some of
these guys are bad guys and their flight risks. They're
in the country illegally, and they're committing crimes, so their
flight risk. It's not like, all right, head out, you
can bail out and come back to this courtroom here

(35:42):
in eight months. You'll never see them again. We know
that all too well here in Omaha. So the facilities
already exist. The idea of detaining these individuals already exists.
The idea of the federal government paying these communities to
these guys already exists. The facility itself and McCook already exists.

(36:07):
It is the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services Work Ethic Camp.
It's about two miles from downtown McCook. McCook is a
great community. I understand. I've never been there, but there
is a golf course. I want to play there, so
I'll get out there. I just it's kind of hard

(36:28):
to drive west to Gothenburg. It's such a great golf course.
They're a wild horse, but that's not what this segment's about. Anyway.
I'll get out and play Heritage Hills at some point.
I've been told I have to, and I do what
I'm told eventually. But McCook is it kind of what
I've heard is it kind of feels like Carney without

(36:49):
the big college there. I mean there's I think there's
a community college out there something. But you know, it's
about town of about eight thousand people. And when you
get a town of about eight thousand people, it's not
you know like hey, you know blank and you'll miss it.
It's a it's a decent sized town out there. Lucy.
Have you ever been to McCook, Nebraska? No, Okay, let's go.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
I don't think so what highway is it on?

Speaker 2 (37:15):
Again?

Speaker 1 (37:17):
H rural route M from A Cook. I don't know
what highway?

Speaker 3 (37:21):
And otherwise, yeah, you don't know.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
Yeah, you're not going to accidentally go through MCA.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
Know if you but if you're taking a more scenic
route if you're going to Wyoming, or if you're going
if you're going.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
To Wyoming, I don't know. If you want to go
through McCook, Well.

Speaker 3 (37:35):
You don't know that. What do they have is that where?

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Because you're going because you're going the wrong way, why
that's why Homing would be uh wait which where Cook?
It's southwest Nebraska, south of North Platte. So if you
go to North Platte.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
Then hey, you've gone too far.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Hang a left and you find yourself in McCook. I
mean it's straight south of North Platte on Highway eighty three.
You can all So that's the one that's north and south.
If you want to take.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
You can take that route to seventy. Isn't it seventy
that goes through Colorado? So you could drop south take okay,
that through Colorado, Yes, going to.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
The just and then you could go to Denver that
way and then go clear back up towards Cheyenne. Yeah,
it would be the real scenic route. But yes, it's
it's I suppose it's possible.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
I might have them because we've taken crazy scenic routes.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Then take Highway thirty four, Highway six, Highway eighty three
and find yourself in McCook. Okay, all right, so about
eight thousand people, which means that you've got, you know,
people there who are maybe a bit more entrench Nebraska
agg in America, which has a usual political division attached

(38:51):
to it stereotypically, but you've also got your coffee shop owners,
and that also has a bit of a stereotypical political
attachment to it. Anyway, I say that because when the
media goes out there to say, hey, what do you
guys think about this. They're able to find people who
are like, I don't care. Uh, you know, hey, it's

(39:14):
the facility is already there, and it's going to bring
more money and jobs into our community, and we need that.
That's a good thing for our community. As far as
these guys being detained, they're in the country illegally, they're
committing crimes. They got to go somewhere. Might as well
come here, give money to the community, some jobs, and
some stability. Why not. Then you got the people saying
this is just terrible. I'm afraid, I'm afraid to live here.

(39:38):
And that was a guy saying that. So I don't
start saying, like, why are you doing that weird affectation
on your voice when you're impersonating a woman. That's a guy.

Speaker 4 (39:47):
I'm afraid we.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Like I said, the work ethic camp that's for prisoners
already exists there. It is the same building. Well, what
are we doing with the two hundred and so guys
that are already there? I don't know. That's not my job.
My job is to mock the people who are just

(40:10):
coming up with reason after reason to be upset about this.
One of the big ones is the name. We don't
like the name Cornhusker Clink. Do I like the name? No.
I don't want corn Husker to be identified with anything
other than the athletic programs and the nice connotation it

(40:30):
has for the people who live in the corn Husker State.
But the people who are complaining about this being called
the Cornhusker Clink, first of all, it's not like you
can change the name and they're like, okay, well, now
I'm okay with it. It doesn't matter. You can call
it the Cornhusker Clink. You can call it the Sandhills Slammer.

(40:52):
I wouldn't say that McCook is necessarily the sand Hills.
Be that as it may. The Husker huscal I mean,
they wouldn't like that either because of the But that's
the other part of it. You can change the name
to anything. You can call it Bill, They're not gonna
like it because of what it is and what it represents,
and that Trump does like it, so they hate it.

(41:13):
Doesn't matter what it's called. Here's the other thing. Some
of the people who are complaining about, well, I don't
like it because it kind of it brings up the
name of the corn Huskers, and that's the athletic programs
at the University of Nebraska. So many of you complaining
and using that excuse. You know that you're being a hypocrite.

(41:33):
You don't like the football program anyway, you don't. You
don't like athletes. You're the kind of look down your
nose academic academic types in academia there we go, who
look at these athletes going they barely even go to class,
and they get these degrees and they get coddled and
they just because they can shoot a basketball or run

(41:54):
a football or whatever.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
They you know, well that does happen in other schools.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Yeah, they they these holier than now elite academic types.
They look down on the football program, especially all the
other athletic programs. Secondarily, and they really really look down
on football fans. These beer swilling Neanderthals show up there

(42:22):
with their bellies painted.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
Eh.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
It makes me sick to even think about it.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
There's a term for that, convenient complaining.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
Oh yeah, so they're they're complaining about this. They don't
care about making sure the name corn Husker is in
good standing. They would be quite happy if all that
toxic masculinity associated with corn Husker and Nebraska sports just
went away. They hate all of it, and they hate
you for loving it. So spare me on the well

(42:54):
the name the university should shut up there that ought
to do it. And as far as what some of
these other people are saying, the ACLU released a statement saying,
imagine here, you know what I think this. I think

(43:17):
this statement from the ACLU of Nebraska is going to
require a little background music to read this. Imagine hearing
about the cruel rights violations happening in other states ICE
detention sites and thinking that we need our own heartland horror. Oh,

(43:44):
that would have been a good name. Sorry, as if
that weren't bad enough. Add In tasking the Nebraska State
Patrol to act as ICE agents, you mean the Nebraska
State Patrol that's our out there arresting criminals. You want
the people who arrest criminals to assist other law enforcement

(44:07):
and arresting criminals. And this is a problem. How right
back to the statement. Instead of further enabling the Trump
administration's anti immigrant agenda, it's not an anti immigrant agenda.
These are the no one's rounding up immigrants, criminal illegal aliens.

(44:33):
But they love to ACLU and the rest of these
groups love to just keep calling them immigrants, as if
there's no difference between the two. All right, Governor Pillen
should be focused on supporting our communities, including by encouraging
comprehensive immigration reform. Nebraskans know that immigrants make our states

(44:56):
stronger again. Immigrants, the governors and anouncement today is a
new low point and way out of step with where
most Nebraskans are on this issue. That is the statement
from the ACLU of Nebraska. Way out of step. Nebraskans

(45:17):
are way out of step with the governor on this issue.
The Nebraskans who overwhelmingly voted for Jim Pillen and Donald Trump,
who both said they would do something about this issue,
and now they're actually doing it. And the ACLU says, well,
we in a small minority of other voters didn't vote
for this. So we feel that the people who were

(45:37):
elected overwhelmingly to do the things that they said they
would do if they were elected, who are now doing
those things, are way out of step with the people
who voted for them, knowing that they would do these things.
Does that make sense to you what I just said,
because that's apparently what they're saying. They don't like law enforcement,
assisting law enforcement and enforcing the law. They think that

(46:00):
criminal illegal aliens are exactly the same as immigrants, and
they're not. And they call it our own heartland horror
to say nothing about the people who are immigrants, who
have had their identities stolen by illegal immigrants, who have

(46:21):
had their opportunities to get good, meaningful jobs taken away
by illegal immigrants, who have had their emergency rooms, health
care facilities, law enforcement, correctional facilities, health care and everything
else completely destroyed, picked apart, and used up by criminal
illegal immigrants. And then when they had the audacity to

(46:45):
complain about it, they had these alleged community leaders say,
don't you dare say anything about our brothers and sisters
who are in the country illegally. They're immigrants just like you. No,
they're not well. Don't you open your business when after
an ice operation an ice raid in our community, you
got to show solidarity with your brothers and sisters. The

(47:08):
brothers and sisters you're talking about are breaking the law.
If my brother was breaking the law, I don't know
that I would allow him to break the law. I'd
want to do something about it for everyone's benefit. You're
not allowed to think that. And then I got this
email because I mentioned that there are certainly some people

(47:31):
in the country illegally who are good, hardworking people came
here through whatever means, and we I would love to
find a way. I don't know how you go about
doing this. I don't know that anyone's taking a real
strong look at it, which is unfortunate. But there are good,
hardworking people in the country illegally, and we got to

(47:53):
find a way to get them within the boundaries of
some sort of status. Adam emails and says Scott, I'm
listening to your program for the first time in a
long time, and I can't believe your stance on illegal immigration.
Every person who entered our country illegally must go and
not have a chance to come back. There are millions
of people who become legal immigrants and then some became citizens.

(48:17):
We don't want or need people whose first act into
our country was an illegal act. That's from Adam. I
don't know what percentage I would attach to it. Would
I haven't enough of an active imagination. And I've talked
to some people for whom this is their story, who say,

(48:38):
look just like you would do anything to take care
of your family. That's what I did. America was looking
the other way. It was almost like they were saying, no, please,
I couldn't eat another bite as they were motioning for
someone to bring them the cake. I came into the
country illegally, and I I would love not to look

(49:01):
over my shoulder all the time wondering if I'm going
to be detained and deported to a country I don't
know and my kids have never been there. Yeah, it's
it's a brutal situation, but I can. I would do
it if I didn't have two nickels, pasos or whatever
to rub together. In my home country, it was overrun
by gangs and drug lords, and America is like, hey,

(49:23):
we got jobs and fresh water up here. All right, kids,
get on the back. We're going. Get on my back.
We're going. I'd crawl through miles of broken glass to
take care of my family. You would too. Now, there
are some who want you to believe that every single
person in the country illegally fits that narrative. That's not me.

(49:45):
I said, I don't know what percentage that is. I
don't even know how you find that out, but I'm
telling you just allowing all of it, because some of
it is okay, that's not the answer either. I would
hope that the detention and deportation of the bad criminals
would also go along with some way to find out

(50:09):
who's not a bad criminal and have them say yep.
And I didn't even know if someone told me if
this happens too. Someone told me sign here, Hey, you're
you're an American, come on in, and I gave them
a bunch of money. And I didn't know what I
was doing, and I came in. Yeah, there's a penalty
price to pay for ignorance, is no allowance of the law.

(50:32):
There's a penalty price to pay in all of these situations,
and we've got to figure that out. I think I'm
not in charge, though, and neither is Adam. Now here's
another email I got this morning, danemail Scott at kfab
dot com, subject line a sad day due to the

(50:54):
last seven months of a military takeover of our citizenry,
I have, after eighty years of being a Republican, had
to re register parties, certainly not as a Democrat. The
last straw was listening to an extremely unconvincing governor try
to justify bringing this national debacle. To McCook, the snatching

(51:16):
of people off the street by hooded men has not
been a part of our lives since men in white
hoods roam the streets and byways. When you have a
director such as Hoffman acting like Goebbels, even you should
condemn it. On the radio. That's from Dan. Who's Hoffman?
Are you thinking? Are you mean Tom Homan? Anyway? Um? Dan,

(51:44):
I appreciate your email. I am sure you're upset. I
believe almost everything you say there, other than your eighty
years of being a Republican. And it's not because you
sound younger. I can't believe you're eighty. You've never been
a conservative, and I don't believe you've ever been a Republican.

(52:06):
But you know, otherwise, stuff like the snatching of people
off the street, but the arrest of criminals by law enforcement,
what part of that is a problem.

Speaker 3 (52:21):
Dan.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
You'd make a great Democrat, and I'm sure they'd love
to have you. Unless you're a straight white man then,
especially if you're a Christian, then might have to find
another place to go. Scott Voice Joe emails via the
Zonker's custom was inbox. Scott A kfab dot com and says,
I too think that the corn Husker Clink, which, by

(52:43):
the way, again as I said earlier, is not the
official name. When you drive up there, there's not a
big sign saying welcome to the korn Husker Clink. It's
a nickname. And do I love it?

Speaker 2 (52:58):
No?

Speaker 1 (53:00):
Do I care? No, it hasn't bothered me too much.
I prefer the corn Hole. But Joe emails and says,
I too think that Cornhusker Clink is a bit too
personal for some Husker fans. Might I suggest Devanny's Dungeon,
the soul its solitary or Osbourne's outhouse. That's from Joe,

(53:23):
said the scott a kfab dot com. How about this
the rule of law our h U l.

Speaker 3 (53:33):
E E on all of them, because it doesn't It wouldn't,
It wouldn't strike anybody outside of Nebraska as interesting. It's funny,
it's it's funny, but that's about it.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
And now it's it's funny to me because people see
the joke. Here, let me.

Speaker 3 (53:49):
Break this down for you, Okay, break it down.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
The idea is is that Cornhusker being associated potentially with
the football team is going to be upsetting to some people.
So instead we just take the name aims of the
coaches and make it more upsetting to him, under the
guise of under the guise of is this okay?

Speaker 3 (54:07):
Okay, that's funny.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
Here's another thing. They're mad that they're painting the border wall.
This would be our southern border wall with Mexico. They're
painting it black. Lucy sing the song I see, I
see a border wall, and I want to paint it black.
They're painting it black, and people are mad about this. Now,
they could paint it anything in the world. They wouldn't

(54:31):
like the fact that it exists. Did you hear that
they're painting it black. This isn't a joke. They are
doing it.

Speaker 3 (54:36):
Well, what is the reason behind it? So it doesn't rust?

Speaker 1 (54:39):
I mean that actually is another reason why that it
would prevent rust. But when something is black, it absorbs
more of the power of the sun and therefore is hotter.
Oh and if it's hotter to the touch, people won't
try and climb it. That's the thinking. Homelands Security Secretary

(55:01):
Christy Nome was down there and she said, yeah, this
was President Trump's idea, And she grabbed a paint roller
and started, you know, doing the ceremonial, we're painting the
border wall black.

Speaker 3 (55:12):
Well, if we're gonna do that, why don't we just
put some solar panels on top of it.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
Not a bad idea, except that the solar panels won't
do much in terms of helping with the electricity. But
why because they don't. They're not an efficient way of
getting electricity from the sun to well, your light switch.

Speaker 3 (55:32):
They don't. They don't work much on my landscape lighting.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
No, yeah, that's that's a great point. I went to
the store and I thought, what a great thing. I
don't have to start, you know, setting up a bunch
of electrical wires and so forth. I can just plug
these in. I can move them if I want to,
and I can just plug them in with no wires.
And here's this, and here's this, and here's this. And
then I plug them in. They absorbed the power of
the sun and that night there they kind of flicker

(55:58):
for about five minutes and then nothing happens. I have
a great idea. Let's base our entire electrical grid on
this situation in my landscaping.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
When you put out seventeen landscape lights, yes, and you
open up the door at about ten thirty. Yep, and
you're excited because you see two. Yeah, there's a problem.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
One hundred percent. The Council Bluff's police department has made
some arrests in the scandal we address the other day.
I'll tell you about this after a Fox News update next. Scotty,
thanks again to Glenn Beck for filling in yesterday. I
had taken my daughter down to college and then had

(56:43):
a really tough time extracting my daughter from the clutches
of my wife and letting her go into the dorm
room and put my wife in the car and get
her back home. So incident, my wife woke up first
thing this morning and said, oh, Grace forgot her water bottle,

(57:05):
and then headed back towards college. That didn't happen, No.

Speaker 3 (57:10):
She didn't.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
That didn't happen. I admit, I am hoping that my
daughter says, oh my here's how my daughter would say it. OMG,
I forgot whatever, because I am looking for an excuse
to go down there and play a great golf course
in that town, so I can go play golf.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
Take her what she needs, you want to go.

Speaker 1 (57:37):
Get some food with her golf? Come home, right, I
do I'm.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
Sure you do want to play golf, but yeah, that's not.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
Colbert Hills is the golf course there in Manhattan, Kansas,
and it's a great golf course. So I'd go there,
i'd play, I'd take her out to eat, and then
i'd come home. That's a good day.

Speaker 3 (57:56):
That's a really good sure that you would do that well.

Speaker 1 (57:58):
And also then it's not like I just I just
happened to be driving through town. What are you doing?
You want to get some coffee? You know I'm down
there doing something.

Speaker 3 (58:08):
I'm thinking you should buy a club membership to that place.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
Great idea. Let's get him on the phone. Hello, get
me colbt Hills.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
You know you're going to be there a hundred times.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
Hello, that's not working. Oh this isn't like Siri. Yeah,
but when I'm down there, I'm going to be there,
you know, with my wife and maybe our son will
go with us, and we'll have like parents' weekend stuff
to do, and I won't be able to go play
golf anywhere I want. I want both. We mentioned a

(58:46):
couple of days ago when I was when I was
here on the radio show, that there were people out
there stealing memorial vases, or, for some of the nicer ones,
vases from area cemetery. Since then, the Council Bluff's police
department arrested several people and connection to stealing more than

(59:07):
wasn't it didn't We have the number six hundred. These
are the big heavy.

Speaker 3 (59:12):
Metal six hundred sounds about.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
Right, heavy metal vases.

Speaker 3 (59:16):
Heavy metal.

Speaker 1 (59:16):
It's a it's a vase metal. It's a vase with
flowers on top and a picture of Ossy on the side,
Ozzy Beavis and butt Head, you know whatever. It's a
heavy metal vase. And they steal these things. They unscrew
them and steal them and take them to scrap metal places.

(59:39):
That's apparently look the other way and go, oh, here's
a bunch of really weird gravelop robbing looking people who
suddenly came into contact with eight hundred cemetery vases. No questions,
here's your money. And so we were wondering, like, well,
how many people are doing this? This is not the

(01:00:00):
only community where this has happened, but it's it can't
be that easy to just go in there and like
back up trucks in cemeteries day or night and just
start chucking these vases in the back of trucks. Well,
counsel Bluff's police say that the individuals they've arrested and

(01:00:21):
they're looking for four more people are people who work
at these cemeteries or or or used to work at
one particular cemetery. Is that true, That's what counsel Bluffs want.

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
PA just can't trust anybody, can you.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
It's an interesting collection of people. They don't all I
don't know that any of them have the same last names,
but that's a it's a great collection of names. You
got the names that you do sound more I hate
to put it this way because it sounds so awful,
but you got names that kind of sound like they're

(01:01:05):
more American sounding names, and then names that sound more
foreign sounding. Not to say that one's better than the other.
It's just like if you're born in foreign lands, you're
gonna have a name that's you know. It's people think
there's a connotation with saying stuff like this. It's the
same people that say, oh, there you go, just I know, well,
it's the same.

Speaker 4 (01:01:24):
It's the same people that say.

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
Like, oh my gosh, you did an accent of someone
that sounded like a Mexican person on the radio, that's racist.
I also did an accent of a person that sounds
like an Irish person on the radio. Is that racist?

Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
I guess that's okay. Why two different countries. There's a
dialect there and you do an impersonation of the dialect.
It didn't used to be. It's when you're doing it
in a hateful way and making them sound stupid. You know.
That's that's where the racism comes in, just doing the
dialect anyway. There you've got you've got names of that

(01:02:01):
that sound like they're from around the globe. Any and
the ages as well. You got guys in there. Uh,
here's a guy in his sixties, guy in his fifties,
a girl in her twenties. What's she doing hanging out
with these guys? Person in their twenties, person in their forties.
This is it's like the uh, the Greatest Journey or

(01:02:27):
what uh the Incredible Journey? Not the Greatest Where is
my theosaurus? It's like the Incredible Journey. We have these
people of different backgrounds, They're like, hey, we all have
the same idea. Let's do it together now. In the
Incredible Journey, it was some animals that I went on
an adventure. I didn't read it, but in this one,

(01:02:48):
it's a bunch of people, different ages and backgrounds. It
all got together to hang out in cemeteries and steal
big metal vases. I'm actually kind of impressed. I want
to I want to know, how did you encouraging them?
How did you all come together?

Speaker 3 (01:03:05):
Don't encourage them.

Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
These guys stole more than eight hundred, memorial face. It
didn't start off with a theft of eight hundred. They
probably took two, took him to the scrap metal guy.
Scrap metal guys like, oh, yeah, these are definitely worth something.
I'll give you this much money. Oh cool, and they
went and they're looking around, going, we can't really take

(01:03:29):
all these, right, And the next time they took four,
and they took him back to the guy like, oh
you found some more, boy, I'll tell you what. You
guys are not at all grave robbing or anything. Let's
just go ahead and give you the money, and that's fine.
And the next time maybe they took a few more,
and then they're like, no one seems to know or

(01:03:49):
care that we're just all right, let's take four hundred
of the and they eventually took eight hundred Did they
take them one at a time. You can't just go
and a cemetery and take eight hundred faces, right, these
are big things. How many vehicles do you need? No
one noticed this. So they've arrested four people. They're looking

(01:04:13):
for four more suspects. This is I'm I'm almost impressed.
Here's another story reminds me. All right. This is in Texas.
A Texas inmate who was convicted of violence, like violent
assault against family members. This is not the part that

(01:04:36):
impresses me. The guy went to jail and a lot
of other charges. I mean, he was gonna be in
jail a long time in Harris County, Texas. He went
to jail on August fourteenth. I don't know what his
entire Oh wait, yes I do. Seven years, seven years.

(01:05:00):
He went to jail on August fourteenth. That was a
week ago. He is not currently in jail. Do you
know why.

Speaker 3 (01:05:10):
I can think of a few reasons, but why.

Speaker 1 (01:05:13):
Here's the part that impresses me. Thirty six year old
guy named Troy is the one who was booked into
the Harris County jail on all these charges. Seven years
facing seven years, Oh my gosh, goes to jail gets
them all booked in their August fourteenth. Three days later,
on August seventeenth, someone came up and said, all right,

(01:05:35):
are you Troy. Yep, you're free to go. Here's your belongings,
and here you go. And this guy had the he
had the intelligence not to say, hey, you must have
the wrong guy. I'm supposed to be in here for years.
I've only been here for a few days. Are you sure?
He was like, oh, oh yeah, I thought today was

(01:05:59):
the day and was able to pull it off. I see,
I'd be the kind of idiot because I don't enjoy
I take it as a curse more than anything. But
I have to if someone's wrong. I feel like it's

(01:06:22):
incumbent upon me to point it out to him. I'm
trying to get better. I'm honestly trying to get better
about that. But I would I would probably be like, well,
wait a second, I think you're wrong in this. See
I was sentenced to seven years. I've only been in
here since Thursday, and here it is the weekend, and

(01:06:45):
I don't think seven years has gone by, right, We're
still August twenty five, That's what I thought. Yeah, it
can't be me, like I feel like it was my
responsibility to point out to them their error. This guy
felt no such poll. He was like, oh, okay, yeah, great, Yeah,
I tell you what. The time goes by, doesn't it.

(01:07:09):
I'm a better man. I'm a better man than when
I came in here all those years ago. So they
they let him out, What were you going to call them?

Speaker 3 (01:07:18):
His name?

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
I guess I don't know. I'm kind of making up. Okay,
how I presume this went. But here's what I do know.
Booked into jail August fourteenth, sentenced to all these He
booked after not booked, but he was sentenced. He was
incarcerated on August fourteenth for several years. On August seventeenth,

(01:07:39):
they let him go, and he's and he and he
left and didn't say a word, or at least didn't
say anything to say, hey, check your records again, because,
as it turns out, like I guess, someone later is
like looking in the cells, going, hey, where's true? Oh

(01:08:01):
that guy he had his dismissal date. They're like, wait
what And they look at all this stuff and go,
you screwed it up. You put a decimal in the
wrong place, or however it was that it worked out.
It worked out to Troy's benefit because they mistakenly let
him out of jail, and he did not call them
on their mistake. He's like, yeah, so I was trying

(01:08:24):
to tell you people that's right, and then he leaves,
and I don't know. I didn't check a lot of
this news on Troy yesterday, but I don't know if
they found him again, I don't know that Troy.

Speaker 3 (01:08:38):
Is going to they will.

Speaker 1 (01:08:39):
I don't know that he's going to self report. I think, hey,
it's their mistake, not Troy's fault. Give him another chance.
What a tremendous opportunity in his life.

Speaker 3 (01:08:53):
So you're saying if he stays out long enough and
he does something spectacular or changes his life around, that
they might resentence him.

Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
Oh well, I know, I don't think so, but hey,
it's their mistake. They're the ones that have to live
with it. If you just go arrest the guy and
put him back in a cell, then the people who
jack this up will never learn.
