He got kicked out for it, but let's give Rep. Al Green credit for being the only Democrat who stood during President Trump's speech! The podcast is the alleged highlights from my stints on KFAB today (I filled in for Emery in the afternoon) dealing with the fallout from weather and poltical blizzards.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vorgies.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Since yesterday afternoon, it has been an eventful weather situation
here in our area. It's something where if you have
to go out this morning, and that's always someone's judgment call,
isn't it. Hopefully it's yours. Hopefully it's on you. You
make the decision whether or not you're going to go
out and brave the elements. Sometimes it's someone else's judgment call. Hey,
(00:25):
it's not a half day, come on, get in here.
I'm driving around and I'm thinking, rather than spending too
much time focusing on the terrible drivers, which is really
easy to do and I'm sure a lot of people
will be holding my hand on that, I'm instead trying
(00:45):
to see the glimpses of what I hope to be positivity,
because there are a lot of people, and I know
we talk about all the time that it seems like
there are too many people that just really don't have
work ethic. They don't care. They're not going to show up,
They're not going to do a great job if they
show up. There are just some people that just seemingly
(01:08):
don't care. I saw a lot of examples of people
who care, maybe in some instances too much today here.
I mean, first of all, those who are operating the plows.
They're not only battling the conditions, and these these big
machines that get used occasionally, so you're not sure whether
(01:30):
it's going to start, you're not sure whether it's going
to keep running, You're not sure what you're going to
run up on with other drivers. These guys have done
a really fantastic job, especially since we couldn't go out
and pre treat the roads around here because it rained
like crazy all afternoon. Whatever they would have pre treated
the roads with, whether it's your brine solution or your
(01:51):
sand and salt and all, it would have washed right
off the roads. There was no point in doing any
of that. So they had to go out there cold
in the respects of that phrase, and go out there
and do the roads. And I think they've done an
admirable job, and they're certainly not done. So that's number one.
Number two, I'm seeing some of these gas stations and
(02:13):
supermarkets open and there are people out there. Parking lots
have been cleared. A lot of these parking lots are
done by some of these workers that maybe they do
some lawn and landscaping stuff. Some lawnmowing and things like
that throughout the spring and summer and the fall would
take care of the leaves. And in the winter they
make their money going out there and clearing these parking lots.
(02:34):
They can put the plow there on the front of
their truck and they go clear these parking lots. And
they haven't had anything to do all winter until the
last couple of weeks. So yeah, they're going to be
out there first thing in the morning. This is their job,
so they got to get out there. They got to
get to that point. But usually it's an employee of
the gas station or the grocery store that'll go out
(02:54):
there and take care of the walkways. And I saw
a lot of walkways all cleared out. I saw areas
around gas pumps all cleared out, walkways cleared out. I
saw diners that they were out there clearing off sidewalks saying,
I know a lot of people aren't probably going to
work this morning, and maybe they're not going to make
(03:16):
a breakfast stop on their way in, but just in
case they do and they want to pay a king's
ransoms for eggs, we are open and we are ready
to accommodate them. There is one business on the east
side of Benson that it looks to me like as
a little mom and pop and it's probably more like
(03:37):
grandmom and pop upholstery store. And this woman who has
had some experience in life. I don't know how old
she is, she wasn't young. She was out there with
a big old coat on and a shovel and she
(03:59):
was clearing the sidewalk in front of the upholstery store,
you know, just in case someone's like, look, I know
the conditions out there are awful, and they're saying stay
home if you possibly can. But this old chair is
not going to reupholster itself, and that's something that has
to be done right now. So we're going in. We're
(04:22):
braving the elements and risking life and limb to go
take this ottoman to the old mom and pop upholstery
store outside of Benson. And this woman was out there
clearing the sidewalk. I got a real good look at
her because I was driving in the curb lane and
splashed her with a bunch of snow and eyes that
came back up on the sidewalk, which is just my
(04:42):
way of saying, hey, I recognize the effort that you're doing.
And I wanted to say hi, all right, that last
part I lied about it moved clear out of the
way so that wouldn't happen. But some amazing people here
in the Heartland. Sometimes we lose sight of that, you know,
(05:07):
when you have America turning on the TV and seeing
very different things. Some people are looking at this going yes,
I was waiting for this, This is fantastic, this is
oh my gosh, this is great. And some people are
tuning it on and going no, no, why why this again?
(05:33):
Oh no? And of course I'm talking about the Nebraska
basketball game. Also Trump was on last night. People turn
on the TV and they see wildly different things, including
the people who saw this moment not only didn't get
a little choked up, but they just sat there all STONEFACEDJ.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
And his dad have been on request to make his
dream come true and has been sworn in as an
honorary law enforce officer actually a number of times peace.
The police love him, the police departments love him, And tonight, DJ,
We're going to do you the biggest honor of them all.
(06:15):
I am asking our new Secret Service Director Sean Kerrn
to officially make you an agent of the United States
Secret Service.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
The thirteen year old kid scars across his head from
brain cancer surgery. This is a pediatric brain cancer survivor,
and based on what we went through here in Nebraska
recently with Team Jack Hoffman, to see that kid out there,
just his eyes open really wide, and then the new
(06:50):
director of the Secret Service came in there and gave
him his badge. As this thirteen year old kid is
up there dressed in full law enforcement cop regalia, in
a full uniform, and then he's like he's got a
badge now, and the President of the United States just
recognized him and said, you are a member of the
(07:10):
Secret Service. Kid, give us the Secret Service director a
big old hug. And I'm tearing up watching that. Republicans
are standing up, laughing and clapping and just like this
is great, This is so cool. As this young man
DJ Daniel, thirteen year old cancer survivor, is up there,
(07:32):
just bewildered and thrilled, and he already kind of has
that cop attitude like I'm not too move I'm not
going to show you I'm incredibly moved by this. You know,
I just got to be stoic here he's already got
that cop attitude and over on the other side of
the political aisle. I don't want to spend a lot
(07:54):
of time on this, but that's disgusting just to sit there,
sit there all stone faced, you know. And the pundits,
liberal pundits afterwards, were like, I can't believe Trump's out
there making this kid a prop. Here's what I saw
last night. I don't I don't agree with, nor do
(08:15):
I put on the cheerleading outfit for everything Trump says
or does. But I saw the same thing last night
that I saw during the political campaign. And there are
some people, be they MSNBC hosts or elected Democrats who
just don't flip and get it. Trump is out there
having a party. He's hosting a party. He's having fun.
(08:39):
He's recognizing these these kids dressed like cops and making
their dreams come true. And everyone's cheering, and they're having
a great time, and they're pumping their fist and they're
chanting USA and they're having a blast. And the Democrats
are sitting there. Gunn it was it.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I was.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I would have been more dismayed had I not been
really happy for this kid and his dad, his Dad's
there dressed in the red, white and blue holding up
his son. Super super cool moment. If if you haven't
seen that on TV, I encourage you to find the
video clip. In fact, if you only watched No, No, No,
(09:25):
try that against Scott, if you only listened yes to
the president's speech last night, you wouldn't have got the
impression because the Republicans were so loud, and let's face it,
there are a bunch of brown nose and suck ups.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Trump's up there saying I did this, and I did this,
and I did all this stuff in the last five weeks.
The Republicans are like, yay, that means we don't have
to do it. We're a bunch of cowards who've been
telling people for years. As we get re elected and
re elected to the House and Senate, you vote for us,
we're gonna do this stuff. And they vote for us,
and we don't do any of that stuff. We don't
do a darn thing. But Trump goes out there and
(10:00):
with one hundred plus executive orders in the first few days,
he does all this stuff. Yay, Trump, you know we're
gonna go ahead and glom onto your coat tails. Brown
nose and suck up a little more. Bunch of cowards
last night. Pass some bills, write some bills, pass some bills.
Let's do some stuff. You know, Trump's gonna need some
help with some of this stuff. And he's also gonna
(10:21):
need someone to say, all right, let's not maybe do this,
or maybe we can look at this differently. Just sit
there and brown nose all the time isn't doing anyone
any good. But those Republicans are up there, yay Trump,
But you know what, they're having fun. They're having a
great time last night. I imagine that's the most exercise
(10:41):
that any of those guys have had in five years,
standing up, sitting down, standing up, sitting down. They're all
gonna need chiropractors today from all this stuff. It's quite
the scene last night, and that moment there with DJ
Daniel was so sweet. Unfortunately it was short lived because
(11:04):
this morning DJ Daniel neglected to respond to Elon Musk's
email and lost his job.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Scott Voices News Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Here was an incredible laundry list last night by President
Trump that ended up being about three minutes long. This
is after he said thanks to Elon Musk and Doze
for uncovering.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Working very hard. He didn't need this, he didn't need this.
Thank you very much. We appreciate it. Everybody here, even
this side, appreciates it.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
I believe.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Yeah, Democrats didn't like that. One bet don't want to
admit that. All right, here we go, just listen to
some of the appalling waste.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
We have already identified twenty two billion dollars from HHS
to provide free housing and cars for illegal aliens. Forty
five million dollars for diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships in Burma,
million dollars to improve the social and economic inclusion of
sedentary migrants. Nobody knows what that is. Eight million dollars
(12:10):
to promote LGBTQI plus in the African nation of Lesuto,
which nobody has ever heard of. Sixty million dollars for
indigenous peoples and Afro Colombian empowerment in Central America. Sixty
million dollars, eight million dollars for making mice transgender.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
This is real, this real stuff that Doze has uncovered
and rolled back. Now. I know that yesterday people are like,
all right, transgender mice and whatever's going on in some
African nation that you're right, I've never heard of that. Naruto.
Isn't that like Japanese cartoon? I don't know what eat?
(12:56):
I don't know. There's so much of this stuff is
so in trench. And it went on. He talked about
Stacy Abrams, the former gubernatorial candidate in Georgia. She ended
up getting some cushy job in a big salary as
a way of saying, hey, thanks for being a good Democrat.
And he just went on and on with this last night.
(13:17):
And I know a lot of people were saying, like, well,
I know that the tariffs were the big news yesterday,
and wow, let's talk about that for a second. Because
remember Rob Ford, the crackhead mayor of Toronto, who was
kind of fun and interesting until he realized just the
(13:38):
extent of his drug and alcohol problem that eventually killed him. Well,
it turns out his brother, Doug Ford, is now the premier,
like the governor of Ontario, Canada's biggest most I don't
know if it's biggest, the most populous province of Canada.
And what Doug Ford was saying and doing yesterday made
(13:58):
his crackhead brother Rob Ford look like the same one.
Because Trump comes out and says, all right, we're gonna
put some tariffs on some of these Canadian goods, bring
them in line with the tariffs that you put on us.
And Doug Ford starts saying, all right, here's what we're
gonna do here in Ontario. We're no longer gonna supply
(14:19):
one point five million homes and businesses in New York,
Michigan and Minnesota with the electricity they get from Ontario.
But we're cutting it off or right now, he says,
we're gonna jack up the cost. And if these tariffs
are still here on Canada in April, we're cutting off
the electricity. And there are other province premiers, governors people
(14:41):
that is, like Saskatchewan and Alberta as saying well, let's
not rush into not only cutting off potential future business partners.
I mean, if the idea is is that you hate
Trump and he does hate Trump, and he's not gonna
be in office forever, gonna need these customers, these businesses,
(15:02):
these these homeowners, We're gonna need them to be customers
here again, because this is how we make money. Let's
say you got ten million customers, you cut off a
million and a half. Well, the costs are still the same,
and you're gonna spread those costs among the other eight
and a half million customers that are still paying the utility.
(15:25):
So really bad idea to suddenly just cut off one
point five million customers out of spite. And there are
people saying like, well, let's let's not rush into this.
Here's one guy saying, I'm not sure that threatening the
United States not to supply them with electricity is such
a good idea.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Sorry, And Doug Ford meanwhile said I want to inflict
as much pain as we possibly can yes on the
people of Canada. They're going to pay higher rates for
the electricity you're cutting off from paying customers in America.
This is going to cost them more. This is going
to hurt them long term. This is something you're doing
(16:09):
to your own people. He also canceled a one hundred
million dollar contract with Starlink. Starlink is the Elon Musk.
We send these string of Pearl satellites into space and
we're able to basically provide internet service over areas that
have wildfires or disasters. It's low cost, very good wireless
(16:33):
internet service, and it's amazing what he's able to do.
You know how you pull out your phone and post
something stupid on social media or play the wordle or something.
Elon Musk pulls out his phone and directs satellites to
war torn or natural disaster torn areas so they can
still communicate, so emergency first responders can communicate, so family
(16:58):
members can get in touch with loved one. And this
guy said, Nope, we hate Trump, therefore we hate Elon Musk.
We're canceling the one hundred million dollar contract with the
people who can do this for the people of Ontario.
All right, why don't you use the other guy? Oh,
there is no other guy. It's just Musk. So once
again you have hurt your people out of spite. Doug
(17:23):
Ford has made his crackhead brother Rob look like the
sane one, and Rob Ford has been dead for years.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Scotty America is once again standing strong against the forces
of radical Islamic terrorism. Three and a half years ago,
ISIS terrorists killed thirteen American service members and countless others
in the Abbey Gate bombing during the disastrous and incompetent
withdrawal from Afghanistan. Not that they were withdrawing, it was
(17:53):
the way they withdrew perhaps the most embarrassing moment in
the history of our country tonight, and please to announce
that we have just apprehended the top terrorists responsible for
that atrocity, and he is right now on his way
here to face the swift sword of American justice.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
That was the announcement made last night by President Trump,
and the White House confirmed it. Mohammed sharifu lah If,
I'm saying that correctly enough. I'm not who cares described
this guy as having orchestrated the attack at the abbey
gate to Afghanistan that as we know all too well
(18:39):
here in Omaha, we're one of thirteen communities across America
that was grieving after the attack in Afghanistan. When we
suddenly August twenty one, decided after telling the bad guys
when we were going to leave, so they could behave themselves,
(19:03):
they could start stockpiling weapons, they could formulate a plan
of attack. After telegraphing when we were going to leave,
then we started leaving. It was absolutely an inexcusably horrible scene,
not just from leaving our American service members vulnerable to
(19:23):
this attack and telling the enemy when to do it
and basically where to do it. In many instances. But
the behavior of the Afghan men, the men who were
old enough and well enough to be able to pick
up a rifle and defend their own country. These guys
(19:44):
that we've been training, we've been equipping, we've been arming,
we've been standing by, we've been supporting, we've been fighting.
On behalf. We trained this group of Afghan men, and
which of them didn't shoot us in the back during
the training basically surrendered as soon as they saw the
(20:05):
Taliban coming. And they're trying to hold on to the
skids of the helicopters and everything else and cling onto
planes get us out of here, leaving their women and
children behind to be attacked. It was absolutely disgusting. He
was embarrassing for everybody. Thirteen Americans killed that day, including
(20:28):
Corporal Dagan Page Millard west Graduate, who was just twenty
three years old when he lost his life trying to
defend the last passages of the cowards who were trying
to cling onto the planes and escape the Taliban. Absolutely horrible,
And if that had been a bigger concern for the
(20:52):
Biden administration, perhaps the man who orchestrated that attack might
have been in custody earlier. That happened in in the
late summer of twenty twenty one. Through the entire Biden administration,
they didn't capture him. I don't know if they were
looking for him. I never heard the President or anyone
(21:14):
with the Pentagon or any of the military experts, had
never heard anyone even mention this as a possibility. President
Trump is in office for five weeks. We got him,
and they said he wanted to thank Pakistan as well
for helping bring this guy into custody. He's coming to
the United States to face charges thirteen murders. That Of
(21:40):
everything that President Trump said last night, and there's a
lot to cover, that is maybe the most important. The
suspected senior planner and the suicide bombing, they never do
it themselves. I tell you, what, how are these guys
able to do that? By the way, do you work
(22:00):
with people? Do you have kids? Are you in a
situation where you have to convince someone to do something?
It's sometimes impossible, isn't it? Like, Hey, guys talking to
your teenagers. I'm going to be at work all day.
I'll be home late this evening. Would love to see
the driveway cleared off before I get home. Do you
(22:24):
think you can get the shovels and go out there
and clear off the driveway and the sidewalks in front
of our house. Do you think you can do that? Oh, bruh, bruh, bruh, bruh, bruh.
I can't do that. I want to go to the gym.
Or you want to go to the gym and workout? Yeah,
I want to go lift weights. I want to go
run a little bit. I want to go shoot some hoops.
I want to go exercise. Okay, there's plenty of exercise
(22:47):
to be had in our driveway where you can go
out there with the shovels, get some fresh air and
shovel the snow. I would suggest shoveling with the wind
so it doesn't blow right back down your collar. It
gets it, gets it, It always gets in the collar,
gets in all the crevices. You'll never get it out,
or is that sand I don't Anyway, You've got to
(23:10):
try and convince your kids to do that. You got
coworkers going, hey, does anyone else want to host Emery
show to today? And everyone suddenly road runners their way
out of there? Is just me meh, oh shoot, man,
I'd love to, but I've got stuff and then they're gone.
So you're trying to convince the people in your life
(23:32):
to do certain things. Maybe it's just me. I can't
convince anyone to do anything. This guy is convincing people
to strap bombs to themselves and blow themselves to Kingdom.
Come because on the other side of this life, you've got,
of course, a wonderful paradise and seventy or however, I
(23:55):
don't with inflation, it might be eighty six virgins waiting
for you on the other side. If you just go
down there and blow yourself up and take some infidels
with you. And they tell these guys like it's gonna
be great. You're not even gonna believe it how great
it is. And they're like, you're coming with us, right?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
You know I would, You know I would, But I've
got I've got a dentist appointment on Tuesday, and I
can't go into the afterlife with this sore tooth back here.
I don't know if it's a cavity or if food
just keeps getting wedged up in there, and I try
and get it out, and it seems like every time
(24:35):
I floss or brush I'd end up flossing or brushing
too hard, and it just makes it more painful. I
can't go because when you go into the afterlife, you
go in like this. I can't go it. You wouldn't
expect me to go into the afterlife with a sore tooth. No, no,
of course not. How am I gonna take care of
all those virgins if I'm worried about sore tooth. So
I can't do that. But I'll tell you what, I'll
(24:55):
see you there. I'll be right behind you, dude, I
will be right behind you. These guys are like, okay,
and it seems like these mastermind planners, they're able to
convince these guys to do this. You know, if they
weren't so freaking evil, perhaps they could do great things.
(25:20):
They could convince people and be great leaders of mankind
in a positive way, or at least sell crypto. I
don't know. They could probably do something. If you can
convince someone who's otherwise happy and healthy and thinking about
playing golf this weekend, and you're like, no, I got
better idea, go blow yourself up. Well, if you say so.
If you can do that, surely you could sell use
(25:44):
cars something so we got the suspected senior planner in
the suicide bombing at the Kabul Airport in Afghanistan, Thirteen
American service members killed, including US Marine Corporal Dagan page Man.
(26:07):
I wish I had a chance to meet that young
man twenty three years old. We saw his impact when
they drove him in the procession through all of Omaha
down the Interstate off of the I guess they probably
took the ILQ, took l Street over to Millard Avenue,
(26:29):
and then down Millard Avenue there towards Harrison Street, Omaha
National Cemetery ultimately laid to rest with full military honors. Yeah,
there's another guy who had a whole life ahead of him,
but we decided to tell the enemy bent on killing
(26:49):
him and anyone to look like him, where he would
be at what time when we were trying to pull
out of there. Leave It just that's disgusting, and the
fact that the Biden administration seemingly never went after this guy.
I hope I'm wrong in saying that. I'm not taking
any pleasure in saying that. It just seems to me
that they completely ignored that whole situation. Trump's in office
(27:13):
for five weeks. Hey, don't forget to get that guy
all right, we'll take a look. Got him right now.
I wanted to welcome back onto the program frequent KFAB contributor,
But Joe, it's been too long since I've had a
chance to talk to you. Joe Herring, The Daily Herring
is here on news radio eleven ten KFAB. Good morning
(27:35):
or good morning. Used to singing that on my show,
Good afternoon Joe or whatever time it is.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Afternoon to use.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Yeah, it's great to be back on the air with you.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
You have paid a lot of attention here recently with
some great social media posts looking specifically at Ukraine, and
I started reading your stuff a lot more closely and
carefully after that meeting last week where Vans and Trump
ganged up on Zelenski and he's like, hey, we're supposed
to be friends and went home crying, and the people
(28:08):
are like, you guys are mean. Guys are mean doing
that to this guy's trying to fight for his people,
and you guys are mean. You've got a different take.
Tell me about your thoughts on that meeting and what
we've seen on that Russia Ukrainian American front here in
the days since.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Well, you have to look at the overall lay of
the land if you want to understand why that meeting
was not what it appeared. Everything that Trump is doing,
if you look at all of his moves that he's
made since he was inaugurated, every one of them has
multiple components to them. They have the obvious component, which is,
(28:48):
you know, the specific order in the executive order, but
they also have a secondary element. And I would invite
the listeners to go look through each those executive orders
and see if I'm not right on this. All of
them are designed to remove the opportunity for power from
(29:12):
anyone involved in the deep state. They are being defanged
with each and every one of these and not just
by saying okay, you can't do this anymore. He's doing
it by bringing these things which were normally kept behind
closed doors, only given to the biggest donors, the opportunities
(29:34):
only available to those who are the most tightly connected. Instead,
he's bringing those things out almost like an open source
computer programmer. For example, we need those rare minerals, and
Ukraine has them. They also happen to owe us, so
it's a nice arrangement there.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Well, let's let's take a look at Let's take a
look at that, because there are several people that say,
away is America. We go in and help and we
battle back bad guys like Russia. We don't ask for
anything in return. We've never asked any nation that we've
ever assisted to Hey, you guys got to repay us.
In fact, oftentimes we go back in there and rebuild
the whole place form and it's all on our dime.
(30:17):
Why does Ukraine have to pay us back?
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Well, those who feel that way are looking at just
a very surface examination of history. If you go back
and look at perhaps the largest rebuilding operation, because of
course it was the largest destruction operation of World War Two?
Who rebuilt all of that? Yes, the American government facilitated that,
(30:42):
but it was American business that brought Germany back. It
was American business and economic power that brought Japan into
the fold of a productive nation again. And there were
trillions of dollars made, even in World War two dollars.
There were trillions of dollars made in rebuilding a nation
(31:02):
that way. The money that the United States put out,
for example, or the Marshall Plan, that was seed money.
It's the same thing with one essential difference in Ukraine.
Ukraine isn't taking our money and then using it to
fight Russia. Ukraine is taking our money, laundering a portion
(31:26):
of it, sending a large portion of it back to
the people responsible for getting it to them in the
first place, and then while they skim off the top,
they're also on the side. Reports are, and they're credible
reports that they're selling a lot of the military hardware
for twenty cents on the dollar and keeping the change.
(31:47):
This is not what you would expect to see if
you're thinking that we're doing the right thing.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I've seen some of these things as well, Joe, and
it does seem to me that when Zelensky walked out
of that meeting last week, I did think and we
talked about this a little bit on Monday, and I
was even on the radio across Iowa on Friday night
in the wake of that, and I said, you know,
I want to believe that Zelenski and these forces here
(32:18):
in Ukraine want to what they want, what we want.
They want to beat back Russia, they want a sovereign nation.
It is their best interest. If there are people getting
rich from America shoveling hundreds of billions of dollars at Ukraine.
There are people who could be lining their pockets and
it's in their best interest for this war to continue
(32:38):
exactly as it has. That I suppose is a possibility.
But if all this is the case, Joe, why wouldn't Russia,
If Ukraine's not taking our money and buying weapons and
beating back Russia and selling the stuff on the black
market and all the rest of it, lining people's pockets,
why hasn't Russia beaten them yet?
Speaker 4 (32:58):
They're not taking all all of the money. That's that's
a sort of an either or fallacy that gets propagated
by the media. They're taking enough of it that it's
there's no there's no way that they have deployed three
hundred and fifty or billion dollars worth of aid. They
(33:19):
just simply haven't. We don't even know where a hundred
billion of it is. We can't account for it. Zelensky
can't account for it. Russia has their own problems. You
have to understand as well. Russia, while it has a
large force, it does not have the economic power of
(33:41):
the United States. It doesn't have the economic power of Ukraine.
By extension being backed by the United States. As a consequence,
they are literally throwing bodies at a problem. Now, we
learned a long time ago that the Soviet and therefore
(34:01):
Russian the idea of military strategy was not really the best.
Those were the people who trained Iraq. Those are the
people who trained all of the Middle Eastern countries, the
ones that we were able to route in literally weeks.
And it's because their basic military philosophy hasn't been updated
(34:24):
since really the early eighteen twenties. The problem that they
have now is they still don't have the capacity to
do anything beyond what they're doing right now, which is
throwing more and more and more bodies at it. This
is draining Putin, It's draining his power. He needs to
(34:47):
have this piece more so probably than Zolensky, because Zelensky
has an out. He's going to take off with the
cash at some point, there's no doubt about this. He's
going to be given a sign in some neutral nation.
But Putin has a lot of enemies, and he has
(35:08):
people who on both sides, ones who want to align
themselves more with the United States and the West and
those who want to go the other direction.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
You're hearing, Yeah, you're hearing the thoughts here. Joe Herring
on news radio eleven ten kfab I'm Scott Voorhe's in
for Emery Songers. So since that meeting and everything that
you've just said, in some cases alleged in what we
talked about here, since that meeting on Friday, Zelensky has
sent a big, beautiful letter back to Trump say we
(35:40):
want peace. I'm ready to sign that deal. Russia's behave themselves.
You know a lot of people are like, oh, this
is going to give Putin what he needs to go
in there and finally put that death shot on Ukraine.
They didn't do it, Ukraine's Zelensky is looking for peace.
Is Trump getting what he wants? And is this that's
what America needs? What do you think about those as
(36:02):
say Trump is working for Putin on all.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
This, Well, it's ridiculous to even think that. And here's
why Putin isn't doing those things. He isn't leaping on
this opportunity because he's a nice guy. He's not leaping
on the opportunity because he's unable to. If he were
able to do that, he would have done it. Prior
(36:26):
to now, Zelensky has been weakened for quite some time.
That's the whole reason why this is, this circumstance has
come to a head. Now he sees the riding on
the wall with the new group, with the new crew
that's in there. The problem that you have is the
old crew never let go. The old crew is still
(36:48):
working behind the scenes, the Victoria Newland, Susan Rice Axis,
They're still out there pretending that they have control. They
believe themselves canntinuously to be the smartest people in the room,
no matter what, no matter what room, and they are
advising Zolenski. They advised him against that mineral deal, against
(37:12):
moving forward with a peace plan. Now there's a ton
of different reasons for that. One of which, though, is
that mineral plan has been talked about since before the
war began, and that mineral plan was supposed to be
put together, negotiated, and fulfilled by private interests, some of
(37:34):
whom are attached to those.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Very people who in America do you blame for getting
us all down this road and into this mess.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
Ultimately you have to go back to whoever empowered Obama
because the mistakes have been made from their forward. Now Clinton,
he just bungled into a line of this. They were
You know that all of the Victoria Newland and Susan
Rice slash Obama axis didn't account for one thing that
(38:11):
has ruined their entire operation. That is, they didn't account
for the avarice present in the Biden administration. They didn't
account for the fact that, above all, they wanted their cut,
above whether it was successful, above whether anyone knew it.
They wanted their cut and did undercut everything that they
(38:31):
were trying to do. There were no true believers in
the Biden administra.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
I have a hard time believing. I have a hard
time believing Obama is some boogeyman behind all this. If
that was the case, Michelle Obama would have run for president,
she would have won in a landslide, and they'd still
be riding this gravy train.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
And Joe Biden knew that, which is why he anointed
Kamala Harris before Obama had an opportunity to restage. That's
the nomination.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
That's a fine perry, Joe, and that's why I enjoy
our conversations. Can you hang on for one more segment
with me? I want to turn your attention to the
speech last night. I presume you watched it, or were
you watching the Nebraska basketball game.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
No, no, no, I watched a victory.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Yeah, that's not right. It went into I think Trump's
speech went into triple overtime last night. It was a
long one here. So we'll talk about that here, back
with Joe Herring in just a couple of minutes. I'm
Scott Vorhees in for Emery Songer this afternoon until six o'clock.
Cool moment last night as this young man, thirteen year
old kid who has been battling pediatric brain cancer, was
(39:39):
dressed last night in a full law enforcement uniform. He
was made an honorary member of the Secret Service. He
hugged the Secret Service director. Republicans are standing up cheering.
A lot of us watching or listening to that, especially
if you're watching it. Yeah, tear in your eye. We're
going on social media, Poe about it. The Democrats just
(40:01):
sat there like we don't care. A big deal we got.
We have not been moved by this at all. It
was quite a scene last night. If you watched it
on TV, you saw it. If you listened on the radio,
you must have thought everyone was lapping it up. Nope,
you saw one side having a great time and the
other side sitting there me. I'm Scott Vorhees in for
(40:23):
Emery Songer today on news radio eleven to ten KFA.
Be you talking with frequent KFAB contributor Joe Herring. Joe,
what were some of your takeaways from last night's speech?
Speaker 4 (40:35):
Well, one I couldn't help but post about, and that
was that thirteen year old boy who no formal training whatsoever,
no experience whatsoever, yet still appears to be more competent
than anyone on the Democrat side of the aisle.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Yeah, you know, it's sad though that little DJ Daniel's
dream was dashed this morning. He neglected to reply to
that elon Musk email about what he did in the
pass away. He's already lost his job. It's too bad,
poor kid.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
Well, you know, it's a lesson higher. The entire speech was.
It was astounding, and it was not simply because of
what he said. We knew pretty much everything that he
was talking about. He's been either intimating or outright talking
(41:25):
about these things like greenland and the border and all,
but the way in which he said it. The ear
of faux cordiality is over. There's no more. Oh, I
think my learned a colleague may have misspoken. No, he's
telling the truth. You're lying, right. And this is something
(41:49):
that has resonated with the American people since he first
came down the escalator. Now they've watched the response of
the Democrats and it's has not been pretty. Who on
the Democrat side thought holding up little signs was going
to be a wise move in a meme age? I'm
(42:09):
sure you've seen the memes out there now, with every
one of those signs having something else written on them.
These people are either they're woefully incompetent or they just
simply don't have a grasp on reality.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
Yeah, we're listening to me. We're here on an AM
news talk radio station criticizing Democrats and celebrating the Republican president.
We're not exactly breaking new ground. Is there anything that
that Trump said or did, or what you witnessed last
night that maybe you're like, I don't necessarily like that
or love that is? Is there any criticism of last
night's speech?
Speaker 4 (42:50):
I wish you wouldn't have said, We're going to get
it anyway.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
Yeah, by any but one way or the other, we're
gonna get great like whoa, whoa, what.
Speaker 4 (43:04):
We very well made? Yeah, however, and the thing that
you have to remember whenever you're analyzing anything Trump does,
what does he always ask for? He puts out in
front of you the moon, the stars and everything, and
he says, I want you to bring it all to
me by five pm. He knows he's not going to
get it. But what happens is he gets more than
(43:27):
anyone else would have gotten because his opponent doesn't know
what is enough, so they usually give more than they should.
It's a classic negotiating tactic, whether you're buying a car
or selling a house. Right, He's just really good at it.
Speaker 2 (43:46):
My other criticism is all those sycophantic brown nosing Republicans
jumping up and down, cheering like all you liars. You
for years, so many of you campaign go Hey, send
me to Washington. I'm going to eliminate for odd Way.
Send me to Washington. We're going to roll back Roe
v Wade. Send me to Washington. I'm going to secure
the border. Send me to Washington. I'm gonna do this
on your taxes. They never do any of that stuff.
(44:09):
Trump goes in there, signs one hundred executive order is done,
and these guys are like, yay, you liars. It could
have been doing all this stuff and working harder on him.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
At least he didn't do it well.
Speaker 4 (44:21):
And that's what the next shoe to drop is. And
that's what the American people are so hungry for, and
that is the exposure of those on supposedly ostensibly our
side who really aren't there on their own side that
happens to align with the Democrats the government and growing
(44:43):
it and taking parts from it. This is these The
investigations are underway. We know this. The results are not
going to just be splashed out there. I've seen a
lot of people built on social media and just in
my friend circles and journalism circles saying, you know, well,
(45:05):
if this was happening, then this why isn't this in
the media here? Why hasn't there been an indictment there?
Excuse me again? Have you paid no attention to the
way Trump operates. I'll guarantee you if he's got a
ream of evidence against one of his opponents, before that
evidence is laid out, he will milk it for all
(45:29):
its worth.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
That sounds like a conversation and illuminating conversation for another day. Joe,
thank you for all the time here this afternoon. Appreciate
you jumping in and talking with us on the radio today.
Speaker 4 (45:41):
You bet it was a pleasure.
Speaker 2 (45:44):
Have you also had Let's Stay Together by Al Green
in your head after the Congressman Al Green got tossed
out last night. I'm got that here, but tossed out.
Speaker 1 (46:02):
On my rear.
Speaker 2 (46:05):
Made it all about me. I'm not as bad as Obama. Right,
come on, man, it's gott for He's seen Al Green
now on eleven ten kfab So I've just had this
in my head since last night. President Trump's trying to
give is a State of the Union address, which is not,
(46:25):
I know, technically the State of the Union address, but
it is, and that was probably the state of the Union.
President Trump gets elected president of the United States, and
we got a guy that stands up there, a Democratic
Member of Congress from Texas named Al Green, not the singer,
stands up in the middle of the speech to argue
(46:47):
with Trump over whether he his election meant the American
people wanted him to do the stuff that he said
he would do on the campaign trail. If that's not
the State of our Union, you can call the speech
anything you want. Speech to a joint session of Congress.
I needed a joint after that session with Congress last night.
(47:09):
So the seventy eight year old Democrat in Texas stands
up there and he wouldn't leave. President Trump is the
wrong guy to mess with when it comes to people
heckling or trying to throw him off when he's up
there giving a speech. You know what he's done for
the better part of the last ten years, right, mega
(47:31):
event after PEP rally, after campaign speech, and at every
single one of these protesters. Hackler's costs had to come
in drag people out. He's been shot at, he knows
how to deal with people. And he just said, all right,
let's just give this person a chance here. And he
let the Speaker of the House say all right, you're
(47:52):
going to be ejected from the hall. And that's what
they did. And the guy who walked in with a
cane somehow walked out without the power of his can.
It was amazing. Trump healed him last night. Incredible. So
all right, all right, what did he want? He said
(48:12):
later to the Washington Post quote, It's worth it to
let people know that there are some people who are
going to stand up to him unquote. That's what that
was all about. I'm gonna stand up to him. Okay,
(48:32):
now you can have a seat. Nope, not going to
sit down. He was all in on that. He was
ready to be ejected, and that's what happened. And of
course the media said it was two thousand and nine
when Congressman Joe Wilson, a Republican, yelled you lie at
President Obama at the time, Yeah, that was that was
as Gary and Jim pointed out, there a moment ago
(48:54):
that was bad. This guy is being treated like a
hero by some not today. In the House, though, the
Democrats tried to table a resolution to censure Congressman Green
for this astonishing lack of decorum during the speech by
the president last night. Democrats tried to block it didn't work.
(49:17):
So the House has set up a final vote on
a resolution to censure Congressman al Green for disrupting the
address last night. And Al Green had to vote on
the bill about whether or not he needs to be censured. Oh,
is he going to be kicked out again like he
(49:39):
got kicked out of the speech last night, out of
the Congressional hall. There no censure just means we are
very disappointed in you. We are so disappointed in you.
We wrote it down and we voted on it, and
we all a majority decided, the majority of people in here.
(49:59):
As it turns out, party lines are very disappointed in you.
It doesn't remove him from office. He doesn't even have
to line up and run the gauntlet and get spanked.
He doesn't even get his cane taken away. Nothing, He
doesn't lose privileges. It's it's just a it's a rebuke.
(50:19):
I don't think he cares. What I'm curious about is
the Democrats who have said we need to we can't
elect Trump because he just doesn't act like an adult.
He's he's a child. He's a big baby, that Trump.
He calls people names, he throws tantrums, He's like, what
(50:41):
do you say about me on social media? Find twenty
five percent tariff for your whole country. And we need
an adult here to to lead this nation forward. We
can't have that behavior. First chance they get, they send
that guy out there, stand up and go rah rah, indecipherable,
(51:02):
yelling at the president while the President's trying to give
a speech. And then you're like, well, that was just
one Democrat who did that. Let's see how they vote,
knowing that this vote doesn't remove him from office. It's
just telling people, we've got to act better than this.
(51:23):
You can't stand up and start yelling at the president
because you don't like him. You don't like the fact
that he was elected. You don't like that he's doing
the stuff he said he would do if he was elected.
He got elected, he's doing the stuff, and now you're
gonna sit up there and yell about it. Why don't
the Democrats have said we need to have an adult
Why don't they also vote to censure just to publicly
(51:46):
rebuke and say bad bad al Green, bad al Green,
stop that. Why can't they vote on that, just to
say that, to let the American people know, when you've
been campaigning for the last couple of years, it's time
to act like leaders. It's time to act like adults.
We don't want to be name calling babies like Donald
(52:06):
Trump over there. Well, this guy last night was a
name calling baby. Are you going to call him out
for that? I doubt it.
Speaker 1 (52:18):
Scott Voy's Mornings nine to eleven, Our News Radio eleven
ten KFAB
Scott Vorgies.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Since yesterday afternoon, it has been an eventful weather situation
here in our area. It's something where if you have
to go out this morning, and that's always someone's judgment call,
isn't it. Hopefully it's yours. Hopefully it's on you. You
make the decision whether or not you're going to go
out and brave the elements. Sometimes it's someone else's judgment call. Hey,
(00:25):
it's not a half day, come on, get in here.
I'm driving around and I'm thinking, rather than spending too
much time focusing on the terrible drivers, which is really
easy to do and I'm sure a lot of people
will be holding my hand on that, I'm instead trying
(00:45):
to see the glimpses of what I hope to be positivity,
because there are a lot of people, and I know
we talk about all the time that it seems like
there are too many people that just really don't have
work ethic. They don't care. They're not going to show up,
They're not going to do a great job if they
show up. There are just some people that just seemingly
(01:08):
don't care. I saw a lot of examples of people
who care, maybe in some instances too much today here.
I mean, first of all, those who are operating the plows.
They're not only battling the conditions, and these these big
machines that get used occasionally, so you're not sure whether
(01:30):
it's going to start, you're not sure whether it's going
to keep running, You're not sure what you're going to
run up on with other drivers. These guys have done
a really fantastic job, especially since we couldn't go out
and pre treat the roads around here because it rained
like crazy all afternoon. Whatever they would have pre treated
the roads with, whether it's your brine solution or your
(01:51):
sand and salt and all, it would have washed right
off the roads. There was no point in doing any
of that. So they had to go out there cold
in the respects of that phrase, and go out there
and do the roads. And I think they've done an
admirable job, and they're certainly not done. So that's number one.
Number two, I'm seeing some of these gas stations and
(02:13):
supermarkets open and there are people out there. Parking lots
have been cleared. A lot of these parking lots are
done by some of these workers that maybe they do
some lawn and landscaping stuff. Some lawnmowing and things like
that throughout the spring and summer and the fall would
take care of the leaves. And in the winter they
make their money going out there and clearing these parking lots.
(02:34):
They can put the plow there on the front of
their truck and they go clear these parking lots. And
they haven't had anything to do all winter until the
last couple of weeks. So yeah, they're going to be
out there first thing in the morning. This is their job,
so they got to get out there. They got to
get to that point. But usually it's an employee of
the gas station or the grocery store that'll go out
(02:54):
there and take care of the walkways. And I saw
a lot of walkways all cleared out. I saw areas
around gas pumps all cleared out, walkways cleared out. I
saw diners that they were out there clearing off sidewalks saying,
I know a lot of people aren't probably going to
work this morning, and maybe they're not going to make
(03:16):
a breakfast stop on their way in, but just in
case they do and they want to pay a king's
ransoms for eggs, we are open and we are ready
to accommodate them. There is one business on the east
side of Benson that it looks to me like as
a little mom and pop and it's probably more like
(03:37):
grandmom and pop upholstery store. And this woman who has
had some experience in life. I don't know how old
she is, she wasn't young. She was out there with
a big old coat on and a shovel and she
(03:59):
was clearing the sidewalk in front of the upholstery store,
you know, just in case someone's like, look, I know
the conditions out there are awful, and they're saying stay
home if you possibly can. But this old chair is
not going to reupholster itself, and that's something that has
to be done right now. So we're going in. We're
(04:22):
braving the elements and risking life and limb to go
take this ottoman to the old mom and pop upholstery
store outside of Benson. And this woman was out there
clearing the sidewalk. I got a real good look at
her because I was driving in the curb lane and
splashed her with a bunch of snow and eyes that
came back up on the sidewalk, which is just my
(04:42):
way of saying, hey, I recognize the effort that you're doing.
And I wanted to say hi, all right, that last
part I lied about it moved clear out of the
way so that wouldn't happen. But some amazing people here
in the Heartland. Sometimes we lose sight of that, you know,
(05:07):
when you have America turning on the TV and seeing
very different things. Some people are looking at this going yes,
I was waiting for this, This is fantastic, this is
oh my gosh, this is great. And some people are
tuning it on and going no, no, why why this again?
(05:33):
Oh no? And of course I'm talking about the Nebraska
basketball game. Also Trump was on last night. People turn
on the TV and they see wildly different things, including
the people who saw this moment not only didn't get
a little choked up, but they just sat there all STONEFACEDJ.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
And his dad have been on request to make his
dream come true and has been sworn in as an
honorary law enforce officer actually a number of times peace.
The police love him, the police departments love him, And tonight, DJ,
We're going to do you the biggest honor of them all.
(06:15):
I am asking our new Secret Service Director Sean Kerrn
to officially make you an agent of the United States
Secret Service.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
The thirteen year old kid scars across his head from
brain cancer surgery. This is a pediatric brain cancer survivor,
and based on what we went through here in Nebraska
recently with Team Jack Hoffman, to see that kid out there,
just his eyes open really wide, and then the new
(06:50):
director of the Secret Service came in there and gave
him his badge. As this thirteen year old kid is
up there dressed in full law enforcement cop regalia, in
a full uniform, and then he's like he's got a
badge now, and the President of the United States just
recognized him and said, you are a member of the
(07:10):
Secret Service. Kid, give us the Secret Service director a
big old hug. And I'm tearing up watching that. Republicans
are standing up, laughing and clapping and just like this
is great, This is so cool. As this young man
DJ Daniel, thirteen year old cancer survivor, is up there,
(07:32):
just bewildered and thrilled, and he already kind of has
that cop attitude like I'm not too move I'm not
going to show you I'm incredibly moved by this. You know,
I just got to be stoic here he's already got
that cop attitude and over on the other side of
the political aisle. I don't want to spend a lot
(07:54):
of time on this, but that's disgusting just to sit there,
sit there all stone faced, you know. And the pundits,
liberal pundits afterwards, were like, I can't believe Trump's out
there making this kid a prop. Here's what I saw
last night. I don't I don't agree with, nor do
(08:15):
I put on the cheerleading outfit for everything Trump says
or does. But I saw the same thing last night
that I saw during the political campaign. And there are
some people, be they MSNBC hosts or elected Democrats who
just don't flip and get it. Trump is out there
having a party. He's hosting a party. He's having fun.
(08:39):
He's recognizing these these kids dressed like cops and making
their dreams come true. And everyone's cheering, and they're having
a great time, and they're pumping their fist and they're
chanting USA and they're having a blast. And the Democrats
are sitting there. Gunn it was it.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I was.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I would have been more dismayed had I not been
really happy for this kid and his dad, his Dad's
there dressed in the red, white and blue holding up
his son. Super super cool moment. If if you haven't
seen that on TV, I encourage you to find the
video clip. In fact, if you only watched No, No, No,
(09:25):
try that against Scott, if you only listened yes to
the president's speech last night, you wouldn't have got the
impression because the Republicans were so loud, and let's face it,
there are a bunch of brown nose and suck ups.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Trump's up there saying I did this, and I did this,
and I did all this stuff in the last five weeks.
The Republicans are like, yay, that means we don't have
to do it. We're a bunch of cowards who've been
telling people for years. As we get re elected and
re elected to the House and Senate, you vote for us,
we're gonna do this stuff. And they vote for us,
and we don't do any of that stuff. We don't
do a darn thing. But Trump goes out there and
(10:00):
with one hundred plus executive orders in the first few days,
he does all this stuff. Yay, Trump, you know we're
gonna go ahead and glom onto your coat tails. Brown
nose and suck up a little more. Bunch of cowards
last night. Pass some bills, write some bills, pass some bills.
Let's do some stuff. You know, Trump's gonna need some
help with some of this stuff. And he's also gonna
(10:21):
need someone to say, all right, let's not maybe do this,
or maybe we can look at this differently. Just sit
there and brown nose all the time isn't doing anyone
any good. But those Republicans are up there, yay Trump,
But you know what, they're having fun. They're having a
great time last night. I imagine that's the most exercise
(10:41):
that any of those guys have had in five years,
standing up, sitting down, standing up, sitting down. They're all
gonna need chiropractors today from all this stuff. It's quite
the scene last night, and that moment there with DJ
Daniel was so sweet. Unfortunately it was short lived because
(11:04):
this morning DJ Daniel neglected to respond to Elon Musk's
email and lost his job.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Scott Voices News Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Here was an incredible laundry list last night by President
Trump that ended up being about three minutes long. This
is after he said thanks to Elon Musk and Doze
for uncovering.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Working very hard. He didn't need this, he didn't need this.
Thank you very much. We appreciate it. Everybody here, even
this side, appreciates it.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
I believe.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Yeah, Democrats didn't like that. One bet don't want to
admit that. All right, here we go, just listen to
some of the appalling waste.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
We have already identified twenty two billion dollars from HHS
to provide free housing and cars for illegal aliens. Forty
five million dollars for diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships in Burma,
million dollars to improve the social and economic inclusion of
sedentary migrants. Nobody knows what that is. Eight million dollars
(12:10):
to promote LGBTQI plus in the African nation of Lesuto,
which nobody has ever heard of. Sixty million dollars for
indigenous peoples and Afro Colombian empowerment in Central America. Sixty
million dollars, eight million dollars for making mice transgender.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
This is real, this real stuff that Doze has uncovered
and rolled back. Now. I know that yesterday people are like,
all right, transgender mice and whatever's going on in some
African nation that you're right, I've never heard of that. Naruto.
Isn't that like Japanese cartoon? I don't know what eat?
(12:56):
I don't know. There's so much of this stuff is
so in trench. And it went on. He talked about
Stacy Abrams, the former gubernatorial candidate in Georgia. She ended
up getting some cushy job in a big salary as
a way of saying, hey, thanks for being a good Democrat.
And he just went on and on with this last night.
(13:17):
And I know a lot of people were saying, like, well,
I know that the tariffs were the big news yesterday,
and wow, let's talk about that for a second. Because
remember Rob Ford, the crackhead mayor of Toronto, who was
kind of fun and interesting until he realized just the
(13:38):
extent of his drug and alcohol problem that eventually killed him. Well,
it turns out his brother, Doug Ford, is now the premier,
like the governor of Ontario, Canada's biggest most I don't
know if it's biggest, the most populous province of Canada.
And what Doug Ford was saying and doing yesterday made
(13:58):
his crackhead brother Rob Ford look like the same one.
Because Trump comes out and says, all right, we're gonna
put some tariffs on some of these Canadian goods, bring
them in line with the tariffs that you put on us.
And Doug Ford starts saying, all right, here's what we're
gonna do here in Ontario. We're no longer gonna supply
(14:19):
one point five million homes and businesses in New York,
Michigan and Minnesota with the electricity they get from Ontario.
But we're cutting it off or right now, he says,
we're gonna jack up the cost. And if these tariffs
are still here on Canada in April, we're cutting off
the electricity. And there are other province premiers, governors people
(14:41):
that is, like Saskatchewan and Alberta as saying well, let's
not rush into not only cutting off potential future business partners.
I mean, if the idea is is that you hate
Trump and he does hate Trump, and he's not gonna
be in office forever, gonna need these customers, these businesses,
(15:02):
these these homeowners, We're gonna need them to be customers
here again, because this is how we make money. Let's
say you got ten million customers, you cut off a
million and a half. Well, the costs are still the same,
and you're gonna spread those costs among the other eight
and a half million customers that are still paying the utility.
(15:25):
So really bad idea to suddenly just cut off one
point five million customers out of spite. And there are
people saying like, well, let's let's not rush into this.
Here's one guy saying, I'm not sure that threatening the
United States not to supply them with electricity is such
a good idea.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Sorry, And Doug Ford meanwhile said I want to inflict
as much pain as we possibly can yes on the
people of Canada. They're going to pay higher rates for
the electricity you're cutting off from paying customers in America.
This is going to cost them more. This is going
to hurt them long term. This is something you're doing
(16:09):
to your own people. He also canceled a one hundred
million dollar contract with Starlink. Starlink is the Elon Musk.
We send these string of Pearl satellites into space and
we're able to basically provide internet service over areas that
have wildfires or disasters. It's low cost, very good wireless
(16:33):
internet service, and it's amazing what he's able to do.
You know how you pull out your phone and post
something stupid on social media or play the wordle or something.
Elon Musk pulls out his phone and directs satellites to
war torn or natural disaster torn areas so they can
still communicate, so emergency first responders can communicate, so family
(16:58):
members can get in touch with loved one. And this
guy said, Nope, we hate Trump, therefore we hate Elon Musk.
We're canceling the one hundred million dollar contract with the
people who can do this for the people of Ontario.
All right, why don't you use the other guy? Oh,
there is no other guy. It's just Musk. So once
again you have hurt your people out of spite. Doug
(17:23):
Ford has made his crackhead brother Rob look like the
sane one, and Rob Ford has been dead for years.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Scotty America is once again standing strong against the forces
of radical Islamic terrorism. Three and a half years ago,
ISIS terrorists killed thirteen American service members and countless others
in the Abbey Gate bombing during the disastrous and incompetent
withdrawal from Afghanistan. Not that they were withdrawing, it was
(17:53):
the way they withdrew perhaps the most embarrassing moment in
the history of our country tonight, and please to announce
that we have just apprehended the top terrorists responsible for
that atrocity, and he is right now on his way
here to face the swift sword of American justice.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
That was the announcement made last night by President Trump,
and the White House confirmed it. Mohammed sharifu lah If,
I'm saying that correctly enough. I'm not who cares described
this guy as having orchestrated the attack at the abbey
gate to Afghanistan that as we know all too well
(18:39):
here in Omaha, we're one of thirteen communities across America
that was grieving after the attack in Afghanistan. When we
suddenly August twenty one, decided after telling the bad guys
when we were going to leave, so they could behave themselves,
(19:03):
they could start stockpiling weapons, they could formulate a plan
of attack. After telegraphing when we were going to leave,
then we started leaving. It was absolutely an inexcusably horrible scene,
not just from leaving our American service members vulnerable to
(19:23):
this attack and telling the enemy when to do it
and basically where to do it. In many instances. But
the behavior of the Afghan men, the men who were
old enough and well enough to be able to pick
up a rifle and defend their own country. These guys
(19:44):
that we've been training, we've been equipping, we've been arming,
we've been standing by, we've been supporting, we've been fighting.
On behalf. We trained this group of Afghan men, and
which of them didn't shoot us in the back during
the training basically surrendered as soon as they saw the
(20:05):
Taliban coming. And they're trying to hold on to the
skids of the helicopters and everything else and cling onto
planes get us out of here, leaving their women and
children behind to be attacked. It was absolutely disgusting. He
was embarrassing for everybody. Thirteen Americans killed that day, including
(20:28):
Corporal Dagan Page Millard west Graduate, who was just twenty
three years old when he lost his life trying to
defend the last passages of the cowards who were trying
to cling onto the planes and escape the Taliban. Absolutely horrible,
And if that had been a bigger concern for the
(20:52):
Biden administration, perhaps the man who orchestrated that attack might
have been in custody earlier. That happened in in the
late summer of twenty twenty one. Through the entire Biden administration,
they didn't capture him. I don't know if they were
looking for him. I never heard the President or anyone
(21:14):
with the Pentagon or any of the military experts, had
never heard anyone even mention this as a possibility. President
Trump is in office for five weeks. We got him,
and they said he wanted to thank Pakistan as well
for helping bring this guy into custody. He's coming to
the United States to face charges thirteen murders. That Of
(21:40):
everything that President Trump said last night, and there's a
lot to cover, that is maybe the most important. The
suspected senior planner and the suicide bombing, they never do
it themselves. I tell you, what, how are these guys
able to do that? By the way, do you work
(22:00):
with people? Do you have kids? Are you in a
situation where you have to convince someone to do something?
It's sometimes impossible, isn't it? Like, Hey, guys talking to
your teenagers. I'm going to be at work all day.
I'll be home late this evening. Would love to see
the driveway cleared off before I get home. Do you
(22:24):
think you can get the shovels and go out there
and clear off the driveway and the sidewalks in front
of our house. Do you think you can do that? Oh, bruh, bruh, bruh, bruh, bruh.
I can't do that. I want to go to the gym.
Or you want to go to the gym and workout? Yeah,
I want to go lift weights. I want to go
run a little bit. I want to go shoot some hoops.
I want to go exercise. Okay, there's plenty of exercise
(22:47):
to be had in our driveway where you can go
out there with the shovels, get some fresh air and
shovel the snow. I would suggest shoveling with the wind
so it doesn't blow right back down your collar. It
gets it, gets it, It always gets in the collar,
gets in all the crevices. You'll never get it out,
or is that sand I don't Anyway, You've got to
(23:10):
try and convince your kids to do that. You got
coworkers going, hey, does anyone else want to host Emery
show to today? And everyone suddenly road runners their way
out of there? Is just me meh, oh shoot, man,
I'd love to, but I've got stuff and then they're gone.
So you're trying to convince the people in your life
(23:32):
to do certain things. Maybe it's just me. I can't
convince anyone to do anything. This guy is convincing people
to strap bombs to themselves and blow themselves to Kingdom.
Come because on the other side of this life, you've got,
of course, a wonderful paradise and seventy or however, I
(23:55):
don't with inflation, it might be eighty six virgins waiting
for you on the other side. If you just go
down there and blow yourself up and take some infidels
with you. And they tell these guys like it's gonna
be great. You're not even gonna believe it how great
it is. And they're like, you're coming with us, right?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
You know I would, You know I would, But I've
got I've got a dentist appointment on Tuesday, and I
can't go into the afterlife with this sore tooth back here.
I don't know if it's a cavity or if food
just keeps getting wedged up in there, and I try
and get it out, and it seems like every time
(24:35):
I floss or brush I'd end up flossing or brushing
too hard, and it just makes it more painful. I
can't go because when you go into the afterlife, you
go in like this. I can't go it. You wouldn't
expect me to go into the afterlife with a sore tooth. No, no,
of course not. How am I gonna take care of
all those virgins if I'm worried about sore tooth. So
I can't do that. But I'll tell you what, I'll
(24:55):
see you there. I'll be right behind you, dude, I
will be right behind you. These guys are like, okay,
and it seems like these mastermind planners, they're able to
convince these guys to do this. You know, if they
weren't so freaking evil, perhaps they could do great things.
(25:20):
They could convince people and be great leaders of mankind
in a positive way, or at least sell crypto. I
don't know. They could probably do something. If you can
convince someone who's otherwise happy and healthy and thinking about
playing golf this weekend, and you're like, no, I got
better idea, go blow yourself up. Well, if you say so.
If you can do that, surely you could sell use
(25:44):
cars something so we got the suspected senior planner in
the suicide bombing at the Kabul Airport in Afghanistan, Thirteen
American service members killed, including US Marine Corporal Dagan page Man.
(26:07):
I wish I had a chance to meet that young
man twenty three years old. We saw his impact when
they drove him in the procession through all of Omaha
down the Interstate off of the I guess they probably
took the ILQ, took l Street over to Millard Avenue,
(26:29):
and then down Millard Avenue there towards Harrison Street, Omaha
National Cemetery ultimately laid to rest with full military honors. Yeah,
there's another guy who had a whole life ahead of him,
but we decided to tell the enemy bent on killing
(26:49):
him and anyone to look like him, where he would
be at what time when we were trying to pull
out of there. Leave It just that's disgusting, and the
fact that the Biden administration seemingly never went after this guy.
I hope I'm wrong in saying that. I'm not taking
any pleasure in saying that. It just seems to me
that they completely ignored that whole situation. Trump's in office
(27:13):
for five weeks. Hey, don't forget to get that guy
all right, we'll take a look. Got him right now.
I wanted to welcome back onto the program frequent KFAB contributor,
But Joe, it's been too long since I've had a
chance to talk to you. Joe Herring, The Daily Herring
is here on news radio eleven ten KFAB. Good morning
(27:35):
or good morning. Used to singing that on my show,
Good afternoon Joe or whatever time it is.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Afternoon to use.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Yeah, it's great to be back on the air with you.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
You have paid a lot of attention here recently with
some great social media posts looking specifically at Ukraine, and
I started reading your stuff a lot more closely and
carefully after that meeting last week where Vans and Trump
ganged up on Zelenski and he's like, hey, we're supposed
to be friends and went home crying, and the people
(28:08):
are like, you guys are mean. Guys are mean doing
that to this guy's trying to fight for his people,
and you guys are mean. You've got a different take.
Tell me about your thoughts on that meeting and what
we've seen on that Russia Ukrainian American front here in
the days since.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Well, you have to look at the overall lay of
the land if you want to understand why that meeting
was not what it appeared. Everything that Trump is doing,
if you look at all of his moves that he's
made since he was inaugurated, every one of them has
multiple components to them. They have the obvious component, which is,
(28:48):
you know, the specific order in the executive order, but
they also have a secondary element. And I would invite
the listeners to go look through each those executive orders
and see if I'm not right on this. All of
them are designed to remove the opportunity for power from
(29:12):
anyone involved in the deep state. They are being defanged
with each and every one of these and not just
by saying okay, you can't do this anymore. He's doing
it by bringing these things which were normally kept behind
closed doors, only given to the biggest donors, the opportunities
(29:34):
only available to those who are the most tightly connected. Instead,
he's bringing those things out almost like an open source
computer programmer. For example, we need those rare minerals, and
Ukraine has them. They also happen to owe us, so
it's a nice arrangement there.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Well, let's let's take a look at Let's take a
look at that, because there are several people that say,
away is America. We go in and help and we
battle back bad guys like Russia. We don't ask for
anything in return. We've never asked any nation that we've
ever assisted to Hey, you guys got to repay us.
In fact, oftentimes we go back in there and rebuild
the whole place form and it's all on our dime.
(30:17):
Why does Ukraine have to pay us back?
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Well, those who feel that way are looking at just
a very surface examination of history. If you go back
and look at perhaps the largest rebuilding operation, because of
course it was the largest destruction operation of World War Two?
Who rebuilt all of that? Yes, the American government facilitated that,
(30:42):
but it was American business that brought Germany back. It
was American business and economic power that brought Japan into
the fold of a productive nation again. And there were
trillions of dollars made, even in World War two dollars.
There were trillions of dollars made in rebuilding a nation
(31:02):
that way. The money that the United States put out,
for example, or the Marshall Plan, that was seed money.
It's the same thing with one essential difference in Ukraine.
Ukraine isn't taking our money and then using it to
fight Russia. Ukraine is taking our money, laundering a portion
(31:26):
of it, sending a large portion of it back to
the people responsible for getting it to them in the
first place, and then while they skim off the top,
they're also on the side. Reports are, and they're credible
reports that they're selling a lot of the military hardware
for twenty cents on the dollar and keeping the change.
(31:47):
This is not what you would expect to see if
you're thinking that we're doing the right thing.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I've seen some of these things as well, Joe, and
it does seem to me that when Zelensky walked out
of that meeting last week, I did think and we
talked about this a little bit on Monday, and I
was even on the radio across Iowa on Friday night
in the wake of that, and I said, you know,
I want to believe that Zelenski and these forces here
(32:18):
in Ukraine want to what they want, what we want.
They want to beat back Russia, they want a sovereign nation.
It is their best interest. If there are people getting
rich from America shoveling hundreds of billions of dollars at Ukraine.
There are people who could be lining their pockets and
it's in their best interest for this war to continue
(32:38):
exactly as it has. That I suppose is a possibility.
But if all this is the case, Joe, why wouldn't Russia,
If Ukraine's not taking our money and buying weapons and
beating back Russia and selling the stuff on the black
market and all the rest of it, lining people's pockets,
why hasn't Russia beaten them yet?
Speaker 4 (32:58):
They're not taking all all of the money. That's that's
a sort of an either or fallacy that gets propagated
by the media. They're taking enough of it that it's
there's no there's no way that they have deployed three
hundred and fifty or billion dollars worth of aid. They
(33:19):
just simply haven't. We don't even know where a hundred
billion of it is. We can't account for it. Zelensky
can't account for it. Russia has their own problems. You
have to understand as well. Russia, while it has a
large force, it does not have the economic power of
(33:41):
the United States. It doesn't have the economic power of Ukraine.
By extension being backed by the United States. As a consequence,
they are literally throwing bodies at a problem. Now, we
learned a long time ago that the Soviet and therefore
(34:01):
Russian the idea of military strategy was not really the best.
Those were the people who trained Iraq. Those are the
people who trained all of the Middle Eastern countries, the
ones that we were able to route in literally weeks.
And it's because their basic military philosophy hasn't been updated
(34:24):
since really the early eighteen twenties. The problem that they
have now is they still don't have the capacity to
do anything beyond what they're doing right now, which is
throwing more and more and more bodies at it. This
is draining Putin, It's draining his power. He needs to
(34:47):
have this piece more so probably than Zolensky, because Zelensky
has an out. He's going to take off with the
cash at some point, there's no doubt about this. He's
going to be given a sign in some neutral nation.
But Putin has a lot of enemies, and he has
(35:08):
people who on both sides, ones who want to align
themselves more with the United States and the West and
those who want to go the other direction.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
You're hearing, Yeah, you're hearing the thoughts here. Joe Herring
on news radio eleven ten kfab I'm Scott Voorhe's in
for Emery Songers. So since that meeting and everything that
you've just said, in some cases alleged in what we
talked about here, since that meeting on Friday, Zelensky has
sent a big, beautiful letter back to Trump say we
(35:40):
want peace. I'm ready to sign that deal. Russia's behave themselves.
You know a lot of people are like, oh, this
is going to give Putin what he needs to go
in there and finally put that death shot on Ukraine.
They didn't do it, Ukraine's Zelensky is looking for peace.
Is Trump getting what he wants? And is this that's
what America needs? What do you think about those as
(36:02):
say Trump is working for Putin on all.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
This, Well, it's ridiculous to even think that. And here's
why Putin isn't doing those things. He isn't leaping on
this opportunity because he's a nice guy. He's not leaping
on the opportunity because he's unable to. If he were
able to do that, he would have done it. Prior
(36:26):
to now, Zelensky has been weakened for quite some time.
That's the whole reason why this is, this circumstance has
come to a head. Now he sees the riding on
the wall with the new group, with the new crew
that's in there. The problem that you have is the
old crew never let go. The old crew is still
(36:48):
working behind the scenes, the Victoria Newland, Susan Rice Axis,
They're still out there pretending that they have control. They
believe themselves canntinuously to be the smartest people in the room,
no matter what, no matter what room, and they are
advising Zolenski. They advised him against that mineral deal, against
(37:12):
moving forward with a peace plan. Now there's a ton
of different reasons for that. One of which, though, is
that mineral plan has been talked about since before the
war began, and that mineral plan was supposed to be
put together, negotiated, and fulfilled by private interests, some of
(37:34):
whom are attached to those.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Very people who in America do you blame for getting
us all down this road and into this mess.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
Ultimately you have to go back to whoever empowered Obama
because the mistakes have been made from their forward. Now Clinton,
he just bungled into a line of this. They were
You know that all of the Victoria Newland and Susan
Rice slash Obama axis didn't account for one thing that
(38:11):
has ruined their entire operation. That is, they didn't account
for the avarice present in the Biden administration. They didn't
account for the fact that, above all, they wanted their cut,
above whether it was successful, above whether anyone knew it.
They wanted their cut and did undercut everything that they
(38:31):
were trying to do. There were no true believers in
the Biden administra.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
I have a hard time believing. I have a hard
time believing Obama is some boogeyman behind all this. If
that was the case, Michelle Obama would have run for president,
she would have won in a landslide, and they'd still
be riding this gravy train.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
And Joe Biden knew that, which is why he anointed
Kamala Harris before Obama had an opportunity to restage. That's
the nomination.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
That's a fine perry, Joe, and that's why I enjoy
our conversations. Can you hang on for one more segment
with me? I want to turn your attention to the
speech last night. I presume you watched it, or were
you watching the Nebraska basketball game.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
No, no, no, I watched a victory.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Yeah, that's not right. It went into I think Trump's
speech went into triple overtime last night. It was a
long one here. So we'll talk about that here, back
with Joe Herring in just a couple of minutes. I'm
Scott Vorhees in for Emery Songer this afternoon until six o'clock.
Cool moment last night as this young man, thirteen year
old kid who has been battling pediatric brain cancer, was
(39:39):
dressed last night in a full law enforcement uniform. He
was made an honorary member of the Secret Service. He
hugged the Secret Service director. Republicans are standing up cheering.
A lot of us watching or listening to that, especially
if you're watching it. Yeah, tear in your eye. We're
going on social media, Poe about it. The Democrats just
(40:01):
sat there like we don't care. A big deal we got.
We have not been moved by this at all. It
was quite a scene last night. If you watched it
on TV, you saw it. If you listened on the radio,
you must have thought everyone was lapping it up. Nope,
you saw one side having a great time and the
other side sitting there me. I'm Scott Vorhees in for
(40:23):
Emery Songer today on news radio eleven to ten KFA.
Be you talking with frequent KFAB contributor Joe Herring. Joe,
what were some of your takeaways from last night's speech?
Speaker 4 (40:35):
Well, one I couldn't help but post about, and that
was that thirteen year old boy who no formal training whatsoever,
no experience whatsoever, yet still appears to be more competent
than anyone on the Democrat side of the aisle.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Yeah, you know, it's sad though that little DJ Daniel's
dream was dashed this morning. He neglected to reply to
that elon Musk email about what he did in the
pass away. He's already lost his job. It's too bad,
poor kid.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
Well, you know, it's a lesson higher. The entire speech was.
It was astounding, and it was not simply because of
what he said. We knew pretty much everything that he
was talking about. He's been either intimating or outright talking
(41:25):
about these things like greenland and the border and all,
but the way in which he said it. The ear
of faux cordiality is over. There's no more. Oh, I
think my learned a colleague may have misspoken. No, he's
telling the truth. You're lying, right. And this is something
(41:49):
that has resonated with the American people since he first
came down the escalator. Now they've watched the response of
the Democrats and it's has not been pretty. Who on
the Democrat side thought holding up little signs was going
to be a wise move in a meme age? I'm
(42:09):
sure you've seen the memes out there now, with every
one of those signs having something else written on them.
These people are either they're woefully incompetent or they just
simply don't have a grasp on reality.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
Yeah, we're listening to me. We're here on an AM
news talk radio station criticizing Democrats and celebrating the Republican president.
We're not exactly breaking new ground. Is there anything that
that Trump said or did, or what you witnessed last
night that maybe you're like, I don't necessarily like that
or love that is? Is there any criticism of last
night's speech?
Speaker 4 (42:50):
I wish you wouldn't have said, We're going to get
it anyway.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
Yeah, by any but one way or the other, we're
gonna get great like whoa, whoa, what.
Speaker 4 (43:04):
We very well made? Yeah, however, and the thing that
you have to remember whenever you're analyzing anything Trump does,
what does he always ask for? He puts out in
front of you the moon, the stars and everything, and
he says, I want you to bring it all to
me by five pm. He knows he's not going to
get it. But what happens is he gets more than
(43:27):
anyone else would have gotten because his opponent doesn't know
what is enough, so they usually give more than they should.
It's a classic negotiating tactic, whether you're buying a car
or selling a house. Right, He's just really good at it.
Speaker 2 (43:46):
My other criticism is all those sycophantic brown nosing Republicans
jumping up and down, cheering like all you liars. You
for years, so many of you campaign go Hey, send
me to Washington. I'm going to eliminate for odd Way.
Send me to Washington. We're going to roll back Roe
v Wade. Send me to Washington. I'm going to secure
the border. Send me to Washington. I'm gonna do this
on your taxes. They never do any of that stuff.
(44:09):
Trump goes in there, signs one hundred executive order is done,
and these guys are like, yay, you liars. It could
have been doing all this stuff and working harder on him.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
At least he didn't do it well.
Speaker 4 (44:21):
And that's what the next shoe to drop is. And
that's what the American people are so hungry for, and
that is the exposure of those on supposedly ostensibly our
side who really aren't there on their own side that
happens to align with the Democrats the government and growing
(44:43):
it and taking parts from it. This is these The
investigations are underway. We know this. The results are not
going to just be splashed out there. I've seen a
lot of people built on social media and just in
my friend circles and journalism circles saying, you know, well,
(45:05):
if this was happening, then this why isn't this in
the media here? Why hasn't there been an indictment there?
Excuse me again? Have you paid no attention to the
way Trump operates. I'll guarantee you if he's got a
ream of evidence against one of his opponents, before that
evidence is laid out, he will milk it for all
(45:29):
its worth.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
That sounds like a conversation and illuminating conversation for another day. Joe,
thank you for all the time here this afternoon. Appreciate
you jumping in and talking with us on the radio today.
Speaker 4 (45:41):
You bet it was a pleasure.
Speaker 2 (45:44):
Have you also had Let's Stay Together by Al Green
in your head after the Congressman Al Green got tossed
out last night. I'm got that here, but tossed out.
Speaker 1 (46:02):
On my rear.
Speaker 2 (46:05):
Made it all about me. I'm not as bad as Obama. Right,
come on, man, it's gott for He's seen Al Green
now on eleven ten kfab So I've just had this
in my head since last night. President Trump's trying to
give is a State of the Union address, which is not,
(46:25):
I know, technically the State of the Union address, but
it is, and that was probably the state of the Union.
President Trump gets elected president of the United States, and
we got a guy that stands up there, a Democratic
Member of Congress from Texas named Al Green, not the singer,
stands up in the middle of the speech to argue
(46:47):
with Trump over whether he his election meant the American
people wanted him to do the stuff that he said
he would do on the campaign trail. If that's not
the State of our Union, you can call the speech
anything you want. Speech to a joint session of Congress.
I needed a joint after that session with Congress last night.
(47:09):
So the seventy eight year old Democrat in Texas stands
up there and he wouldn't leave. President Trump is the
wrong guy to mess with when it comes to people
heckling or trying to throw him off when he's up
there giving a speech. You know what he's done for
the better part of the last ten years, right, mega
(47:31):
event after PEP rally, after campaign speech, and at every
single one of these protesters. Hackler's costs had to come
in drag people out. He's been shot at, he knows
how to deal with people. And he just said, all right,
let's just give this person a chance here. And he
let the Speaker of the House say all right, you're
(47:52):
going to be ejected from the hall. And that's what
they did. And the guy who walked in with a
cane somehow walked out without the power of his can.
It was amazing. Trump healed him last night. Incredible. So
all right, all right, what did he want? He said
(48:12):
later to the Washington Post quote, It's worth it to
let people know that there are some people who are
going to stand up to him unquote. That's what that
was all about. I'm gonna stand up to him. Okay,
(48:32):
now you can have a seat. Nope, not going to
sit down. He was all in on that. He was
ready to be ejected, and that's what happened. And of
course the media said it was two thousand and nine
when Congressman Joe Wilson, a Republican, yelled you lie at
President Obama at the time, Yeah, that was that was
as Gary and Jim pointed out, there a moment ago
(48:54):
that was bad. This guy is being treated like a
hero by some not today. In the House, though, the
Democrats tried to table a resolution to censure Congressman Green
for this astonishing lack of decorum during the speech by
the president last night. Democrats tried to block it didn't work.
(49:17):
So the House has set up a final vote on
a resolution to censure Congressman al Green for disrupting the
address last night. And Al Green had to vote on
the bill about whether or not he needs to be censured. Oh,
is he going to be kicked out again like he
(49:39):
got kicked out of the speech last night, out of
the Congressional hall. There no censure just means we are
very disappointed in you. We are so disappointed in you.
We wrote it down and we voted on it, and
we all a majority decided, the majority of people in here.
(49:59):
As it turns out, party lines are very disappointed in you.
It doesn't remove him from office. He doesn't even have
to line up and run the gauntlet and get spanked.
He doesn't even get his cane taken away. Nothing, He
doesn't lose privileges. It's it's just a it's a rebuke.
(50:19):
I don't think he cares. What I'm curious about is
the Democrats who have said we need to we can't
elect Trump because he just doesn't act like an adult.
He's he's a child. He's a big baby, that Trump.
He calls people names, he throws tantrums, He's like, what
(50:41):
do you say about me on social media? Find twenty
five percent tariff for your whole country. And we need
an adult here to to lead this nation forward. We
can't have that behavior. First chance they get, they send
that guy out there, stand up and go rah rah, indecipherable,
(51:02):
yelling at the president while the President's trying to give
a speech. And then you're like, well, that was just
one Democrat who did that. Let's see how they vote,
knowing that this vote doesn't remove him from office. It's
just telling people, we've got to act better than this.
(51:23):
You can't stand up and start yelling at the president
because you don't like him. You don't like the fact
that he was elected. You don't like that he's doing
the stuff he said he would do if he was elected.
He got elected, he's doing the stuff, and now you're
gonna sit up there and yell about it. Why don't
the Democrats have said we need to have an adult
Why don't they also vote to censure just to publicly
(51:46):
rebuke and say bad bad al Green, bad al Green,
stop that. Why can't they vote on that, just to
say that, to let the American people know, when you've
been campaigning for the last couple of years, it's time
to act like leaders. It's time to act like adults.
We don't want to be name calling babies like Donald
(52:06):
Trump over there. Well, this guy last night was a
name calling baby. Are you going to call him out
for that? I doubt it.
