Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vorhees pleasure right now to welcome back to News
Radio eleven ten kfab Nebraska Senator deb Fisher. We as
always have a lot to talk about. Senator Fisher, good morning,
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Scott, and congratulations on your new gig here. That's great.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I'm having a ball, even though listeners are constantly reminding
me I do not measure up to my predecessor. But
I signed up for that, and that's fine. He got
it too when he started a billion years ago. But no,
it's a pleasure to work with Craig and Lucy and
Jim and everyone else on our morning show and continue
(00:38):
to host this hour of the program and grill you
mercilessly about such things as let's start in Minneapolis. I
think you've got more pushback here from mayors and governors
like we're seeing in Minneapolis and Minnesota, saying that they
want people to go out and protest law enforcement doing
their job. President Trump sends ice to Medeapolis. A woman
(01:01):
ends up trying to protest them yesterday get shot and
killed in that incident. What should the role of ice
be and the directive of the president to send ice
around this country and mayors and governors to be cooperative
or combative. What do you think about all this?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, you know, first, it was really unfortunate incident there
that this woman was killed. That's never a good thing,
never a good thing. But it's not helpful when you
have the governor of Minnesota, When you have the mayor
of Minneapolis coming out and basically encouraging the citizens of
(01:41):
their communities to protest law enforcement. This goes back to
the George Floyd riots that we saw in Minnesota. Just
all the defund the police activity that we've seen in
previous years. It's not helpful. These ICE agents, they're doing
(02:03):
their job, they're following orders, they're doing their job. They
are removing illegal from these communities and from our country,
and they deserve support and they should be thanked for
the job they do. Instead of having elected officials go
after him like this.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
They're blaming the president provoking this by even sending ICE
to Minneapolis. And they say, well, he did this to
try and make Governor Wallace look bad. He's dealing with
the Somali thing and all that. Well, it's amazing because
a lot of the same people saying that spent years
talking about how dangerous Nicholas Maduro was as the dictator,
(02:47):
the unelected dictator of Venezuela, and they said we need
to do something. President Trump does something, and then they
don't like that he did it. What do you think
about what has been happening with Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
No Maduro, he was indicted by courts here in the
United States. It was under the first Trump administration, the
Biden administration, and this current administration. He's an illegitimate president,
he's a dictator. And like you said, Scott, yeah, it
(03:21):
was both parties, Republicans and Democrats, who were saying he's
he's a crook, he needs to be gone. He was
personally overseeing vicious cartels. And yet now instead of again
thanking the military for an exquisite operation that they performed
(03:46):
where no American was lost, none of our resources were lost.
The objective was achieved, and instead of focusing on that
and saying, yeah, and we've got this guy, and we
want better things for the people of Venezuela moving forward.
But the main objective here was to get rid of Maduro,
(04:09):
and it was achieved. But now there's a lot of
hand ringing and pecking at the president going on and again,
it's I think just because Democrats they can't they can't
take Donald Trump. It just sets them off no matter
(04:30):
no matter what he does, no matter the achievements he makes.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, they say that, you know, he's going to war
with Venezuela or taking over that country, and now we're
threatening to go to war with Greenland. Do we need Greenland?
And if so, how should we go about getting it?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Senator, you know, I think it's important to recognize we've
always had really longstanding partnership with Greenland, with Mark, and
we want to make sure that those are stay positive
and continue to be strong so that we can provide
(05:09):
for our national security. So I'm just going to continue
to encourage the administration to be able to look at
diplomatic solutions so that we can continue to strengthen those
partnerships that we have.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Certainly the President is provocative, but if you look at
a lot of the things he's doing, whether it's tariffs,
whether it's Venezuela, certainly with Iran and Greenland, now it
seems to be trying to tamp down the influence of
China and Russia. So the President's been very busy in
all that. Now, certainly people say, well, anytime he does
(05:48):
anything like that, I don't know how this makes America
great again. People in this country are seeing their health
insurance costs skyrocket in the wake of the government shutdown
last year. We didn't subsidize is Obamacare with taxpayer funds,
and now people are spending a lot more on health insurance.
You guys are back to work now as we're talking
here for a couple more minutes with Senator deb Fisher,
(06:10):
what's the latest on healthcare costs, what the Senate might do,
what Congress should do here in the weeks ahead.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I think we're going to see what comes over from
the House. There's a group of senators here in the
United States Senate that are working on maybe a way
forward on healthcare. You know, we certainly understand the failures
of Obamacare. Republicans have always wanted to address those failures,
(06:42):
and I think we have a good opportunity now where
we have some Democrats ready to step forward and maybe
make some changes too. But you know, that's a ways
off yet, Scott. What we're looking at right now is
being able to get three more appropriations bills done. I'm
really excited about some of the funding that I've been
(07:06):
able to get in the bills, those tree bills that
were currently considering for Nebraska projects. You know, I want
to get those passed. I want to get them signed
into law because I have millions of dollars in tax
dollars ready to come back to the state of Nebraska,
whether it's on emergency communications systems across the state or
(07:30):
local law enforcement, or to help with crime prevention, or
look at water infrastructure across the across the state. You know,
there's some good ways to get tax dollars back here
to Nebraska and to help with tax relief here in
the state of Nebraska. When I look at appropriations built,
(07:52):
I only work with with taxing entities, you know, with
the state itself, with counties and cities and n r
d's and our law enforcement and fire departments, those taxing entities,
so that we can return tax dollars to the state
and help provide.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Tax Really, is there any chance of that happening before
the government shuts down again?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yes, I think it's now you're going to hold me
to it, but yeah, I think I think we're going
to get these next tree which are Commerce, Justice, and
Science Interior and to be able to get those done.
Energy and waters the other one. But to be able
to get those done. The White House came out last
(08:41):
night or this morning, uh, in support of that tree
bail package. That's a that's a good step that the
administration is supportive of the work we're doing. You know,
you always hear about regular order. Well we're we're doing
regular order. Now we're doing our work. We're doing it
in a transparent way, with hearings and and with an
(09:04):
open process and taking votes instead of just having four
people in a room deciding how to spend taxpayer dollars.
So people can sit, they can watch these hearings, they
can watch the debate, and they can watch us vote
on it, and then they hold us accountable for that.
But I think, you know, there's there's been good work
(09:26):
between the Centate Appropriations Committee and the House Appropriations Committee.
I was, like I said, I encouraged to see the
White House support these next three bills that are in
this package. So I feel good about this. But then, yeah,
then we've got some more work to do. And I know,
(09:46):
I know people are serious about this and committed to
getting it done.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Well, you got all that Venezuelan oil money to play with. Now,
this would be a good time to let you know, no, no, no,
I'm starting a daycare for Somali refugees here in Omaha.
If there's any money that can come back here for that.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
But you know, we had a briefing, an all Senate briefing,
and we had the Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Defense General Cain, We had the Attorney General there and
we heard what the plans are from Marco Rubio to
(10:29):
be able to consult with the leaders there in Venezuela
work through the net steps. And this isn't the United
States going in there and taking the oil. This isn't
the United States going in there and propping up regimes.
I don't think I don't think there's too many people
(10:51):
that want to see that happen. But we do want
to try and get Venezuela back to a more stable
country that it was twenty thirty years ago. They are
in our hemisphere, they're in our neighborhood, and we don't
need Russian China and Iran and Hespola to continue to
(11:11):
make inroads into Venezuela. We need, we need to show
partnerships and support here in our own hemisphere, a lot
to own.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Neighbors, a lot to deal with. I imagine you guys on
Capitol Hill run around like the rest of us, just
constantly looking at the news going wait, what happened? Now what?
There's so much so I'll let you get back to work.
Happy new year, Senator, A pleasure to talk with you.
We'll do it again throughout the year.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Great, happy new year.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Here on news radio eleven ten KFAB. That is Nebraska
Senator deb Fisher. Now as all that's going on, Michael
emails from Papilion Scott atkfab dot com Zonker's custom woods
inbox and says, now Trump is moving to ban big
investors from buying single family homes. Michael says, I know
(11:59):
this is happening in North Omaha, North Omaha, South Omaha,
East Omaha, North East Omaha, South north Omaha, West Omaha, Central,
North East Omaha. It's happening all over everywhere. And the
(12:22):
President yesterday said in a truth social post on his
social media account, the federal government should block large institutional
investors from purchasing single family homes. It says, corporate landlords
make it harder for Americans, especially younger buyers, to enter
(12:45):
the housing market. Now. I don't know where the cutoff
is here. Certainly you've got some large corporate investors and
you'll see see the signs we buy homes. This company
buys your homes. Hey, you want to sell your home,
(13:05):
we'll buy your home. That's a that's an unusual thing.
I don't know when that started. Seems like it's probably
been twenty years or so since you started seeing signs
pop up of kind of these these companies that we
buy houses, we'll buy your house. And I don't know
if it started off with some people kind of doing
mom and pop house flipping things, because I watch a
(13:27):
TV show and I know how to take a wall
out of a kitchen, and that's what everyone did, right, Lucy,
do you watch those shows, the house flipping shows and
all that I.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Did when they were real hot, when everybody was watching them.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah, when they when they started off, it was always
a young couple that said, yeah, we flip homes, and
they buy this house and it's kind of run down
or old and not very modern in there, and they
always do the same thing. Let's watch Todd take a
sledgehammer here to this wall in the kitchen we'll open
up some space and sometimes it's a load bearing wall
(14:04):
and the entire house crashes down on Todd and that's
the end of that show. But there's like lots of
other couples ready to jump up there and like, we're
gonna flip houses. And you watch these people and yeah,
I quit my job. All I do now is I
dry wall and do my own electrical work, and I
knock down walls and repaint kitchens and all this stuff.
And then we buy this house with us much and
(14:25):
then we sell it for that much and then we
take the profits from that and we buy another house.
And people were like, yeah, let's just flip houses. And
that doesn't work out as well for everybody as it
does with the people who are doing this on TV. Well,
it went from Larissa and Todd. I don't know if
(14:46):
these are actual names of people do these shows doing
it to suddenly people said, you know, maybe there's a
way of doing this. Let's go into business and do it.
We could have entire groups of people that kind of
work under our umbrella of our business, and we buy
the house and then use the resources of people everywhere
(15:09):
to be able to help out and flip these houses
and sell them to people and all that. I don't
know that any of this started with the worst intentions,
And there are some companies that have done it better
than others, But there are a lot of companies, including
a lot of foreign investors who have just been and
(15:29):
real estate agents will tell you, like a house goes
in the market, and you know, they call up the
real estate agent and it's someone saying, my client wants
to buy that house. Oh, when can we schedule a showing.
Oh no, my client is nowhere even near America, let
alone Omaha will buy it. Well, I've got some people
I'm going to show it to here at an hour.
(15:51):
Don't you want to come see? You know whatever the
price is, add ten percent and we'll buy it right now.
Do you take cash? So then they buy the house,
they don't end up flipping it. They don't really do
any of the work in there. Now. They're just renting
it out to people, jacking up the rent because the
(16:12):
housing market went crazy there for a few years and
people are still paying down that mortgage rates haven't come
down that far, and they see it as a profit center, like,
all right, we're just going to rent this out. Sometimes
to multiple families or multiple generations who just came to
this country, who are getting federal subsidies to live in
(16:34):
this house. And the federal government's paying the rent. We
can charge them whatever we want. And now they live
in the house. No one's up keeping the house, no
one is doing any work in the house. Sometimes they
just leave in the house that's they're empty, and people
in the neighborhood are like, what's going on with that house?
(16:55):
And you don't have And then you even have some
good people that buy into these houses. Not to say
they're geez, not good people, but you have people that
buy these houses. You know, they they're starting a family
and they're trying to find an affordable home, and they're like,
we'll start here and then we'll just kind of we'll
try and work our way into our dream home. And oh, okay,
so I'm going to rent this house and I guess
(17:17):
I call the landlord and so the ceiling opens up
and bedroom gets flooded because you had a hole in
the roof that's never been repaired. You call the landlord,
you can't get a hold of anybody.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
You have to dial a zero before that number zero one.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
One country code then send an unusual sequence of numbers
to reach someone who's not going to take your call
or do anything about it. And then people were like, well,
now I'm upside down financially in a house that I
can't sell. I don't own the house, I can't get
a hold of anybody. I'm stuck. And that started happening
(17:56):
more and more often in this country. So said the
federal government should This is not a directive executive order.
He's saying Congress should block large institutional investors from purchasing
single family homes. Says corporate landlords jack up the rent
make it harder for especially young buyers to enter the
(18:17):
housing market. He says, the President, I am quote, immediately
taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more
single family homes, and I will be calling on Congress
to codify it. People living homes, not corporations. For a
very long time, buying and owning a home was considered
(18:38):
the pinnacle of the American dream. But it's now out
of reach for far too many people. He said. Record
high inflation during the Biden administration had to get an
auto pin shot in there has caused this to be
a problem. And when you can't have single families buy
a lot of these homes. Big corporations like, we got
the money, we'll buy that house. I said, some are
(19:00):
better than others. I know of some of these big
companies that buy these houses, and they're good stewards of
their investments. They want more people to live in those homes.
They want them to be a good investment for people,
and therefore they're good landlords. They take care of stuff.
But not everyone's like that, Not everyone's here in America,
(19:21):
And I just feel awful for the for anyone with
a bad landlord, whether that's a large international or nationwide
corporate investor, or just a guy here in town is
just a shoddy landlord. I feel awful for people. I've
always had great landlords.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Well, that's good that you've always had great landlords. But
the reason that this is never going to happen. He
can write it as a suggestion, basically, but it's never
going to happen. It's never going to become law if
it has to go through the legislation, because there are
a lot of senators and representatives that make a lot
(19:58):
of money from these corporates by getting some of this stuff.
Kind of just slid in here and slid in there.
And if you think I'm wrong, well maybe I am,
But I don't.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
You know who the president has on his side congressionally
in this Democrats house. Democrats introduced a bill last year
to try and get this done. So if the Democrats
are for it, and the President says, hey, Republicans, I'm
telling you to jump. You tell me how high and
get this done, maybe it gets done. Now there'll be
(20:32):
a couple of things that happened. Republicans are saying, is
this something that government should be involved in? Is it not?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I think banning large corporations that part of it. Yeah,
I don't have a problem with that, is that with
government being involved with it? And you know, I don't
like a big buck big government.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
You don't like big butts. You cannot like big government.
You cannot lie you uh. But if something's for sale
and someone buys it, we're going to make that against
the law.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
If it's a corporation that is based outside of this
country and they are beginning to have a monopoly as
they are.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Blackstone I don't think is based out of this country.
They're a major investor in residential real estate, single family homes.
Their shares dropped sharply yesterday after the President's post. Now,
the other thing that will happen here is the congressional
Democrats will say this is a great idea, let's do
it now that Trump's in favor of it. They will
run so far to the other side of that room
(21:30):
that they'll never vote with the President and let it
get done under his watch. So you don't have to
worry about that. Interesting. If you got thoughts, send them
in Scott tet kfab dot com, Fox News Update and
just a moment.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Scott for E's News Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Look emails Scott at kfab dot com and says they
need to do the same thing with the agg real
estate as well. Well, I'd like, I said, if something's
for sale and someone buys it, how do we want
the government plane winners and losers and picking and choosing
(22:08):
who gets to do what on some things? Yes, I
mean when we started allowing our tech infrastructure, our wireless infrastructure,
cell phones, cable internet, that kind of thing to be
purchased up by Huawei, the Chinese run tech company, Senator
(22:30):
Ben Sass was pretty much the only one going Guys, no,
what And they're like, well it's for sale, and they
said they want now. I don't mind things like that,
like we're not gonna let that happen. I just I
don't know when we got in this country to someone's like,
(22:52):
I'm gonna sell this house. And I mean, Lucy, have
you done this where you're selling your house and you
meet the young couple that's about to buy your house
and you think, oh, I have and you think, oh,
this is great. I'm so glad that they didn't. You
show them around the house and and you're and they're
(23:14):
just looking at this, go oh this is so wonderful.
Look what you did here that's gonna be and you're like, oh,
that's so good. I want someone to live in my house.
Is there's going to love and respect it and raise
their own family here, you know, and and have the
same great memories of this house that I have. And
then you drive by like six months later and they
completely destroyed everything.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Now I've done that, Like, hey, what's the matter with you?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
People?
Speaker 3 (23:35):
That just breaks your heart?
Speaker 1 (23:36):
We should outlaw that.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yes, yes, I don't care if who buys my house,
if it's a personal couple that live here and whatever.
H Well, I guess they might not live here yet,
and that's fine too, sure, But if it's just a family,
I don't care who that family is, I'd tell it.
But if I had an offer from my house from
a corporation, unless I absolutely had to move for whatever reason,
(24:05):
and all hope is lost and I don't care anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah, it's it's not clear whether the president is going
to be able to do any of this stuff. But
you know, that's kind of how this starts. President Trump
says they were gonna do this, and people are like,
he can't do that, and then by the time they
get done with that, sentence has already been done and
we're onto the next eight things. Let's go back here
to the latest from Minneapolis that mayor Mayor Jacob Fry,
(24:37):
mayor of Minneapolis, says to Ice, get the heck out
of our town, only he didn't say fudge. To quote
one of our favorite eighties movies, Christmas Story, Ding's get
the blank out of our town. What do you think
Ice is doing there? We know what they're doing there.
(24:59):
They're just terrorize people and they're gonna racistly round people
up and send them to Uganda and el Salvador. And
then later they're going to be like, oh, sorry, I
guess we didn't mean to arrest that guy. Well, too late,
he's dead. You know what. We know what they're doing,
and we have to stop them. Right, it's not at
all Immigration Customs enforcement rooting out criminals. Whether you've got
(25:25):
your dangerous gang criminals, murderers, drug traffickers, and all the
rest of that stuff, or whether you've got your so
called you know, low level criminals, those who are just
stealing identities, uh and making it very difficult for the
people whose identities have been stolen when suddenly they need to,
you know, take out a loan to get their kid
(25:45):
through college or whatever, and they're like, oh, sorry, your
credit's aful, Like why is my credit offul And then
you show how your identity has been stolen and now
you have to prove you're you. That's fun. If you've
ever been through that, that's great. People's lives are ruined
by those who are stealing identities. Every time an a
legal immigrant takes a job, that undercuts what should be
(26:07):
a thriving job market in this country. It drives down wages,
presents a class of individuals who are then a strain
on whether it's public safety or health care or education
because by virtue of their employer is being awful, now
(26:27):
they're not paying into the tax space. It does not
work out well on any front in this country. The
president has been trying to enforce the law, and when
they send ICE into Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Minneapolis, you
got people like the mayor up there going get the
(26:48):
plank out of my town.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Don't you think the first thing that this government needs
to do is start investigating mayors and leaders like that,
because if they're that adamant to keep the drug lords
and the criminals, and they're so adamant to keep these
illegals in their community, there's a reason.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I believe you. And that's something where I think that
the voters probably need to have a better view of things.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
But well, it looks like the voters weren't able to
do a lot with Minnesota for the last fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
That's what I was going to say. You've got people
in Minneapolis who feel like this is exactly the track
that the mayor and the governor of that state should
take in going out there and opposing ICE, obstruct them
getting their face it's patriotic to do so. Now. A
couple of weeks ago had Nebraska State Senator Megan Hunt
(27:45):
here in the studio. One of the things we talked
about was, I said, you went on Twitter and you
said blank ice and you were encouraging people to get
in the way of the Gestapo. And I said, aren't
you concerned that if we're encouraging people to start in
so hurting themselves in the middle of law enforcement operations
where you've got cops and bad guys, maybe with guns drawn,
(28:08):
and then you got some lady like, hey, you shame
on you guys, and you and they've been incentivized to
go get in the way of that. Are you afraid
that these protesters you're whipping into a friends, are you
gonna get killed? And she said no, And I said,
I believe that the result of this is going to
be people who have been told it's their patriotic responsibility
(28:31):
to go and disrupt immigration customs enforcement, and they're going
to get arrested, or they're going to get hurt, or
they're going to get shot. And this woman up there
yesterday was parked perpendicular to the lanes in the street
of Minneapolis she'd been following around, harassing and yelling at
Ice for a while, and now she's blocking the roads
(28:54):
so they can't do their operations. They go up to
the vehicle and they're like, all right, get out of
the car. You're now interfering with law enforcement operations. Get
out of the car. She takes the car backwards, and
then and this is what a sympathetic observer said up
(29:15):
there to the woman in the car. She notes, well,
you know, there was some Ice telling her to get
out of there, and then other Ice were telling her
to get out of the car, and she says, and
then there was an ICE agent in front of her vehicle,
so it was difficult for her to leave and she'd
been ordered to do. Ok, then why did she then
(29:37):
press the gas and almost run over this guy getting
herself shot because she used her car as a weapon.
We see this all the time. You can't use your
car at a weapon. And people are like, why didn't
they shoot out the tires or just go arrest her.
I don't know. Why couldn't she get out of the
freaking car when they were loudly telling her, lady, stop
(29:58):
the car, get out of the car. Why couldn't she
do that? And why is the question always why did
I have to do this? And why did this trigger
happy cop have to do that? Why do they always
go that route? And why doesn't anyone ever say why
when cops are telling you to do something, why can't
you do it? You have less of a chance of
getting shot in the face if you do what cops
(30:19):
are telling you to do. And when these agitators at
activists are incentivizing people to go get in the way
of law enforcement, more people are going to get shot.
And I wonder if that's not ultimately what they want.
I don't know how many of them were happy yesterday
that this lady got shot in Minneapolis, like, oh good,
now we can demonize Trump in Trump's America. Look what's happening?
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Were these questions asked? Was this outrage with among the
Democrats when Ashley Babbitt was shot?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Ashley Babbitt should not have gone through that door, right.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
And this woman should not have tried to run over
an officer.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
And the difference is is that you've got Democrats who
are praising law enforcement in the wake of the the
treason this Capitol Hill riot five years ago. This week
they're praising law enforcement, these cops they did such, they're
praising them, but Ice demonized. I even saw some elected
(31:20):
official yesterday say, when are we going to make it
in this country to where cops no longer get the
benefit of the doubt when they shoot someone whoa what
innocent until proven guilty. It's a tenant of what makes
our nation great. Not in the court of public opinion. Certainly,
this person's allowed to have any stupid opinion they want, clearly,
(31:40):
but are they honestly saying we need to you know,
everyone has a presumption of innocence until the state can
prove them guilty. Accept cops and especially Ice. All right,
I'll take a breath and then resume the rant. I'm
sure and just a moment. Glenn Beck show coming up
(32:03):
here in twenty two minutes for an hour, and then
Clay and Buck for the next three hours before Emery Songer,
who was all over it yesterday as this news was
breaking yesterday afternoon here on eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Scott Voorhies News Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I am Scott Voorhees. I don't anticipate anyone is gonna
pay any more attention to what I say, that what
Health Human Services says about the new food pyramid, But
we're here saying it anyway. Thank you so much for
being with us on Nebraska's News, weather and Traffic station.
Lucy Chapman here as well. When was the last time
(32:42):
you thought, oh, I didn't get my two servings of
legumes today based on the food pyramid?
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Just thought that yesterday?
Speaker 1 (32:52):
When we were bes and rice. Oh yeah, when we
were kids, the food pyramid, I mean, this was this
was the culinary bible by which we lived. Our mothers
would talk about it. I remember, you got to get
so many grains today, and when was the last time
you were worried about your intake of grains? At some
(33:15):
point we all just decided that, you know, I know,
when we were kids, we were supposed to have so
much of all these different food groups and all that.
But as an adult I learned, you know, pizza, it's
kind of the perfect food. It has all the food
groups in it. You got your meat depending on what's
(33:36):
on the pizza, and there should be meat on the pizza.
You got your dairy with all the cheese. You got
your bread because of the crust, and you got your
vegetables because a pepper or a mushroom accidentally wandered its
way onto my pizza. There's a black olive. You it's
really the perfect food, and so we just eat pizza.
Plus it's depending on how you slice it shaped like
(33:57):
a pyramid, and then we all ourselves look like pyramids.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
We only had two food groups growing up at my house.
Those were edible or uneedible, spoiled or.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Fresh government cheese and government ham.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
That didn't go spoiled.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
And still isn't.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
No, you could probably the cheese. I bet you could
probably slete that today, didn't.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
They also come out with the recommendations yesterday saying, look,
we're not going to tell you not to drink any
you like no alcohol. Ever, sometimes alcohol is good for socialization.
Actually go out and meet people, talk to people. Yes,
I get very social for a time after I have
a few drinks, and that's usually the time people want
me to be less sociable.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Been there.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
People often accuse me of having a few pops before
I go in here and talk on the radio. You've
never seen me with alcohol in my system.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
I assure you he's sober.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
This and when I have a few drinks in me,
I can occasionally only live in a realm I call
playfully tipsy. It's a very short window. And that's where
I'm kind of fun to be around and maybe a
little bit looser, uh with my phrasing than I normally
would be. And and we're having a good time and
(35:16):
laughing and everything's funny and and that's that's a good time.
But if I continue to drink past that, my mood
and energy level immediately plummets, and I'm like, I'm going
to bed. It doesn't matter where I am or what
time it is. I'm tired and I'm going to bed.
So my my friends are always like, we're gonna go
(35:38):
on a golf trip. We're gonna get Vorhees hammered. It'll
be funny. Let's let's get him. I said, trust me,
it's not. It's not fun. You think like, oh, there's
lampshades and I'm dancing on the table maybe for a
couple of minutes, and then I'm out.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Do you get cranky?
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Though, I'm like Indiana Jones and trying to judge, you know,
how much sand to put on that booby trap? Do
I get hungry?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
No?
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Do you get angry? I'm always hungry. I'm always angry.
Do I get angry, No, I'm not an angry drunk.
I'm angry. I'm a sober angry person, but not an
angry drunk. You know. Usually I just let old nine
millimeter take care of any problems I have. There d
(36:27):
in me step back? What step back? Let me know
when I go too far. Well, I'm I got people
emailing me all fired up and angry about the deal
in Minneapolis.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
And let's rand it on a more interesting note.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
And yes happy. I was just going to wrap that
up by saying, and this is the spin I was
trying to put on it, as I don't get all
amped up and start yelling, you know, like I did
a moment ago. This is what I was talking about.
Was it yesterday two days ago? I don't know. I
don't listen to this junk. When I was saying how
I went on I go on Facebook and I see people,
(37:09):
you know, actively rooting for the president to die. Oh yeah,
I was in the wake of January sixth this week,
and if you like, it'd be so great if Trump
were not alive, and people are like yeah, and I'm
just like, this is so disgusting. And you turn on
the news and you see things happen, and then you
see two people look at the same video of what
(37:30):
happens on the street, and they come away with wildly
different impressions of what their eyes are telling them based
on for whom they voted in the last presidential election.
And people look at all this and go, I don't know.
Everyone's lost their minds. I can't take it anymore. When
you feel like that, Come here, come here, here, Come here.
(37:52):
By the way, that's your eighties comedy album reference for
this segment of the radio program Bill Cosby himself here,
come here, here, here, here, I'm here. I know you're
not allowed to quote him anymore. I get it, but
this is where you come here and hang out with us.
Chances are we feel exactly the same way, and we
spend more time laughing about it and trying to get
(38:14):
through the day together in spite of it than wallering
in anger and getting all furious and saying, this person's
gotta do that. I mean, anytime you have awful things happening,
just remember Omaha voted for a woman who spends her
time chanting about how she loves trans people and pulling
(38:35):
pictures of influential Nebraskans off the wall hung there in
honor of our nation's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary this year.
As long as Mikayla Kavanaugh is still here, we have
boundless forms of entertainment on which to rely. So when
you feel bad about things, come here now, Lucy, you
get the last minute.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Don't pull me over and think I'm drying.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Lucy smashed a bottle of wine in her car. Were
you christening it?
Speaker 3 (39:06):
No? I bought This story starts with a brown bag.
It was in a brown bag. It was with another
one was next to it, and they crashed together and
the bottom of it broke out, and I thought it
went all over the canvas bag that was sitting there,
but nope, not all of it.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
You bought a bottle of wine and it broke in
your car, and now your car smells.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
It smells like cheap wine, like cheap wine.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
And you're afraid you're gonna get pulled over. Like step
out of the car, ma'am. I swear I haven't been drinking.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Nothing makes you go the speed limit like your car
smell like cheap.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
I was bathing in boons. I wasn't drinking it. I
swear like this is that bad. We have open container laws.
It's not open, it's broken. That's open, all right. Glenn
Beck Show coming up next
Speaker 4 (39:47):
Scott for on News Radio eleven ten kfab
Scott Vorhees pleasure right now to welcome back to News
Radio eleven ten kfab Nebraska Senator deb Fisher. We as
always have a lot to talk about. Senator Fisher, good morning,
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Scott, and congratulations on your new gig here. That's great.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I'm having a ball, even though listeners are constantly reminding
me I do not measure up to my predecessor. But
I signed up for that, and that's fine. He got
it too when he started a billion years ago. But no,
it's a pleasure to work with Craig and Lucy and
Jim and everyone else on our morning show and continue
(00:38):
to host this hour of the program and grill you
mercilessly about such things as let's start in Minneapolis. I
think you've got more pushback here from mayors and governors
like we're seeing in Minneapolis and Minnesota, saying that they
want people to go out and protest law enforcement doing
their job. President Trump sends ice to Medeapolis. A woman
(01:01):
ends up trying to protest them yesterday get shot and
killed in that incident. What should the role of ice
be and the directive of the president to send ice
around this country and mayors and governors to be cooperative
or combative. What do you think about all this?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, you know, first, it was really unfortunate incident there
that this woman was killed. That's never a good thing,
never a good thing. But it's not helpful when you
have the governor of Minnesota, When you have the mayor
of Minneapolis coming out and basically encouraging the citizens of
(01:41):
their communities to protest law enforcement. This goes back to
the George Floyd riots that we saw in Minnesota. Just
all the defund the police activity that we've seen in
previous years. It's not helpful. These ICE agents, they're doing
(02:03):
their job, they're following orders, they're doing their job. They
are removing illegal from these communities and from our country,
and they deserve support and they should be thanked for
the job they do. Instead of having elected officials go
after him like this.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
They're blaming the president provoking this by even sending ICE
to Minneapolis. And they say, well, he did this to
try and make Governor Wallace look bad. He's dealing with
the Somali thing and all that. Well, it's amazing because
a lot of the same people saying that spent years
talking about how dangerous Nicholas Maduro was as the dictator,
(02:47):
the unelected dictator of Venezuela, and they said we need
to do something. President Trump does something, and then they
don't like that he did it. What do you think
about what has been happening with Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
No Maduro, he was indicted by courts here in the
United States. It was under the first Trump administration, the
Biden administration, and this current administration. He's an illegitimate president,
he's a dictator. And like you said, Scott, yeah, it
(03:21):
was both parties, Republicans and Democrats, who were saying he's
he's a crook, he needs to be gone. He was
personally overseeing vicious cartels. And yet now instead of again
thanking the military for an exquisite operation that they performed
(03:46):
where no American was lost, none of our resources were lost.
The objective was achieved, and instead of focusing on that
and saying, yeah, and we've got this guy, and we
want better things for the people of Venezuela moving forward.
But the main objective here was to get rid of Maduro,
(04:09):
and it was achieved. But now there's a lot of
hand ringing and pecking at the president going on and again,
it's I think just because Democrats they can't they can't
take Donald Trump. It just sets them off no matter
(04:30):
no matter what he does, no matter the achievements he makes.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, they say that, you know, he's going to war
with Venezuela or taking over that country, and now we're
threatening to go to war with Greenland. Do we need Greenland?
And if so, how should we go about getting it?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Senator, you know, I think it's important to recognize we've
always had really longstanding partnership with Greenland, with Mark, and
we want to make sure that those are stay positive
and continue to be strong so that we can provide
(05:09):
for our national security. So I'm just going to continue
to encourage the administration to be able to look at
diplomatic solutions so that we can continue to strengthen those
partnerships that we have.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Certainly the President is provocative, but if you look at
a lot of the things he's doing, whether it's tariffs,
whether it's Venezuela, certainly with Iran and Greenland, now it
seems to be trying to tamp down the influence of
China and Russia. So the President's been very busy in
all that. Now, certainly people say, well, anytime he does
(05:48):
anything like that, I don't know how this makes America
great again. People in this country are seeing their health
insurance costs skyrocket in the wake of the government shutdown
last year. We didn't subsidize is Obamacare with taxpayer funds,
and now people are spending a lot more on health insurance.
You guys are back to work now as we're talking
here for a couple more minutes with Senator deb Fisher,
(06:10):
what's the latest on healthcare costs, what the Senate might do,
what Congress should do here in the weeks ahead.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I think we're going to see what comes over from
the House. There's a group of senators here in the
United States Senate that are working on maybe a way
forward on healthcare. You know, we certainly understand the failures
of Obamacare. Republicans have always wanted to address those failures,
(06:42):
and I think we have a good opportunity now where
we have some Democrats ready to step forward and maybe
make some changes too. But you know, that's a ways
off yet, Scott. What we're looking at right now is
being able to get three more appropriations bills done. I'm
really excited about some of the funding that I've been
(07:06):
able to get in the bills, those tree bills that
were currently considering for Nebraska projects. You know, I want
to get those passed. I want to get them signed
into law because I have millions of dollars in tax
dollars ready to come back to the state of Nebraska,
whether it's on emergency communications systems across the state or
(07:30):
local law enforcement, or to help with crime prevention, or
look at water infrastructure across the across the state. You know,
there's some good ways to get tax dollars back here
to Nebraska and to help with tax relief here in
the state of Nebraska. When I look at appropriations built,
(07:52):
I only work with with taxing entities, you know, with
the state itself, with counties and cities and n r
d's and our law enforcement and fire departments, those taxing entities,
so that we can return tax dollars to the state
and help provide.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Tax Really, is there any chance of that happening before
the government shuts down again?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yes, I think it's now you're going to hold me
to it, but yeah, I think I think we're going
to get these next tree which are Commerce, Justice, and
Science Interior and to be able to get those done.
Energy and waters the other one. But to be able
to get those done. The White House came out last
(08:41):
night or this morning, uh, in support of that tree
bail package. That's a that's a good step that the
administration is supportive of the work we're doing. You know,
you always hear about regular order. Well we're we're doing
regular order. Now we're doing our work. We're doing it
in a transparent way, with hearings and and with an
(09:04):
open process and taking votes instead of just having four
people in a room deciding how to spend taxpayer dollars.
So people can sit, they can watch these hearings, they
can watch the debate, and they can watch us vote
on it, and then they hold us accountable for that.
But I think, you know, there's there's been good work
(09:26):
between the Centate Appropriations Committee and the House Appropriations Committee.
I was, like I said, I encouraged to see the
White House support these next three bills that are in
this package. So I feel good about this. But then, yeah,
then we've got some more work to do. And I know,
(09:46):
I know people are serious about this and committed to
getting it done.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Well, you got all that Venezuelan oil money to play with. Now,
this would be a good time to let you know, no, no, no,
I'm starting a daycare for Somali refugees here in Omaha.
If there's any money that can come back here for that.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
But you know, we had a briefing, an all Senate briefing,
and we had the Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Defense General Cain, We had the Attorney General there and
we heard what the plans are from Marco Rubio to
(10:29):
be able to consult with the leaders there in Venezuela
work through the net steps. And this isn't the United
States going in there and taking the oil. This isn't
the United States going in there and propping up regimes.
I don't think I don't think there's too many people
(10:51):
that want to see that happen. But we do want
to try and get Venezuela back to a more stable
country that it was twenty thirty years ago. They are
in our hemisphere, they're in our neighborhood, and we don't
need Russian China and Iran and Hespola to continue to
(11:11):
make inroads into Venezuela. We need, we need to show
partnerships and support here in our own hemisphere, a lot
to own.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Neighbors, a lot to deal with. I imagine you guys on
Capitol Hill run around like the rest of us, just
constantly looking at the news going wait, what happened? Now what?
There's so much so I'll let you get back to work.
Happy new year, Senator, A pleasure to talk with you.
We'll do it again throughout the year.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Great, happy new year.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Here on news radio eleven ten KFAB. That is Nebraska
Senator deb Fisher. Now as all that's going on, Michael
emails from Papilion Scott atkfab dot com Zonker's custom woods
inbox and says, now Trump is moving to ban big
investors from buying single family homes. Michael says, I know
(11:59):
this is happening in North Omaha, North Omaha, South Omaha,
East Omaha, North East Omaha, South north Omaha, West Omaha, Central,
North East Omaha. It's happening all over everywhere. And the
(12:22):
President yesterday said in a truth social post on his
social media account, the federal government should block large institutional
investors from purchasing single family homes. It says, corporate landlords
make it harder for Americans, especially younger buyers, to enter
(12:45):
the housing market. Now. I don't know where the cutoff
is here. Certainly you've got some large corporate investors and
you'll see see the signs we buy homes. This company
buys your homes. Hey, you want to sell your home,
(13:05):
we'll buy your home. That's a that's an unusual thing.
I don't know when that started. Seems like it's probably
been twenty years or so since you started seeing signs
pop up of kind of these these companies that we
buy houses, we'll buy your house. And I don't know
if it started off with some people kind of doing
mom and pop house flipping things, because I watch a
(13:27):
TV show and I know how to take a wall
out of a kitchen, and that's what everyone did, right, Lucy,
do you watch those shows, the house flipping shows and
all that I.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Did when they were real hot, when everybody was watching them.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah, when they when they started off, it was always
a young couple that said, yeah, we flip homes, and
they buy this house and it's kind of run down
or old and not very modern in there, and they
always do the same thing. Let's watch Todd take a
sledgehammer here to this wall in the kitchen we'll open
up some space and sometimes it's a load bearing wall
(14:04):
and the entire house crashes down on Todd and that's
the end of that show. But there's like lots of
other couples ready to jump up there and like, we're
gonna flip houses. And you watch these people and yeah,
I quit my job. All I do now is I
dry wall and do my own electrical work, and I
knock down walls and repaint kitchens and all this stuff.
And then we buy this house with us much and
(14:25):
then we sell it for that much and then we
take the profits from that and we buy another house.
And people were like, yeah, let's just flip houses. And
that doesn't work out as well for everybody as it
does with the people who are doing this on TV. Well,
it went from Larissa and Todd. I don't know if
(14:46):
these are actual names of people do these shows doing
it to suddenly people said, you know, maybe there's a
way of doing this. Let's go into business and do it.
We could have entire groups of people that kind of
work under our umbrella of our business, and we buy
the house and then use the resources of people everywhere
(15:09):
to be able to help out and flip these houses
and sell them to people and all that. I don't
know that any of this started with the worst intentions,
And there are some companies that have done it better
than others, But there are a lot of companies, including
a lot of foreign investors who have just been and
(15:29):
real estate agents will tell you, like a house goes
in the market, and you know, they call up the
real estate agent and it's someone saying, my client wants
to buy that house. Oh, when can we schedule a showing.
Oh no, my client is nowhere even near America, let
alone Omaha will buy it. Well, I've got some people
I'm going to show it to here at an hour.
(15:51):
Don't you want to come see? You know whatever the
price is, add ten percent and we'll buy it right now.
Do you take cash? So then they buy the house,
they don't end up flipping it. They don't really do
any of the work in there. Now. They're just renting
it out to people, jacking up the rent because the
(16:12):
housing market went crazy there for a few years and
people are still paying down that mortgage rates haven't come
down that far, and they see it as a profit center, like,
all right, we're just going to rent this out. Sometimes
to multiple families or multiple generations who just came to
this country, who are getting federal subsidies to live in
(16:34):
this house. And the federal government's paying the rent. We
can charge them whatever we want. And now they live
in the house. No one's up keeping the house, no
one is doing any work in the house. Sometimes they
just leave in the house that's they're empty, and people
in the neighborhood are like, what's going on with that house?
(16:55):
And you don't have And then you even have some
good people that buy into these houses. Not to say
they're geez, not good people, but you have people that
buy these houses. You know, they they're starting a family
and they're trying to find an affordable home, and they're like,
we'll start here and then we'll just kind of we'll
try and work our way into our dream home. And oh, okay,
so I'm going to rent this house and I guess
(17:17):
I call the landlord and so the ceiling opens up
and bedroom gets flooded because you had a hole in
the roof that's never been repaired. You call the landlord,
you can't get a hold of anybody.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
You have to dial a zero before that number zero one.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
One country code then send an unusual sequence of numbers
to reach someone who's not going to take your call
or do anything about it. And then people were like, well,
now I'm upside down financially in a house that I
can't sell. I don't own the house, I can't get
a hold of anybody. I'm stuck. And that started happening
(17:56):
more and more often in this country. So said the
federal government should This is not a directive executive order.
He's saying Congress should block large institutional investors from purchasing
single family homes. Says corporate landlords jack up the rent
make it harder for especially young buyers to enter the
(18:17):
housing market. He says, the President, I am quote, immediately
taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more
single family homes, and I will be calling on Congress
to codify it. People living homes, not corporations. For a
very long time, buying and owning a home was considered
(18:38):
the pinnacle of the American dream. But it's now out
of reach for far too many people. He said. Record
high inflation during the Biden administration had to get an
auto pin shot in there has caused this to be
a problem. And when you can't have single families buy
a lot of these homes. Big corporations like, we got
the money, we'll buy that house. I said, some are
(19:00):
better than others. I know of some of these big
companies that buy these houses, and they're good stewards of
their investments. They want more people to live in those homes.
They want them to be a good investment for people,
and therefore they're good landlords. They take care of stuff.
But not everyone's like that, Not everyone's here in America,
(19:21):
And I just feel awful for the for anyone with
a bad landlord, whether that's a large international or nationwide
corporate investor, or just a guy here in town is
just a shoddy landlord. I feel awful for people. I've
always had great landlords.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Well, that's good that you've always had great landlords. But
the reason that this is never going to happen. He
can write it as a suggestion, basically, but it's never
going to happen. It's never going to become law if
it has to go through the legislation, because there are
a lot of senators and representatives that make a lot
(19:58):
of money from these corporates by getting some of this stuff.
Kind of just slid in here and slid in there.
And if you think I'm wrong, well maybe I am,
But I don't.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
You know who the president has on his side congressionally
in this Democrats house. Democrats introduced a bill last year
to try and get this done. So if the Democrats
are for it, and the President says, hey, Republicans, I'm
telling you to jump. You tell me how high and
get this done, maybe it gets done. Now there'll be
(20:32):
a couple of things that happened. Republicans are saying, is
this something that government should be involved in? Is it not?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I think banning large corporations that part of it. Yeah,
I don't have a problem with that, is that with
government being involved with it? And you know, I don't
like a big buck big government.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
You don't like big butts. You cannot like big government.
You cannot lie you uh. But if something's for sale
and someone buys it, we're going to make that against
the law.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
If it's a corporation that is based outside of this
country and they are beginning to have a monopoly as
they are.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Blackstone I don't think is based out of this country.
They're a major investor in residential real estate, single family homes.
Their shares dropped sharply yesterday after the President's post. Now,
the other thing that will happen here is the congressional
Democrats will say this is a great idea, let's do
it now that Trump's in favor of it. They will
run so far to the other side of that room
(21:30):
that they'll never vote with the President and let it
get done under his watch. So you don't have to
worry about that. Interesting. If you got thoughts, send them
in Scott tet kfab dot com, Fox News Update and
just a moment.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Scott for E's News Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Look emails Scott at kfab dot com and says they
need to do the same thing with the agg real
estate as well. Well, I'd like, I said, if something's
for sale and someone buys it, how do we want
the government plane winners and losers and picking and choosing
(22:08):
who gets to do what on some things? Yes, I
mean when we started allowing our tech infrastructure, our wireless infrastructure,
cell phones, cable internet, that kind of thing to be
purchased up by Huawei, the Chinese run tech company, Senator
(22:30):
Ben Sass was pretty much the only one going Guys, no,
what And they're like, well it's for sale, and they
said they want now. I don't mind things like that,
like we're not gonna let that happen. I just I
don't know when we got in this country to someone's like,
(22:52):
I'm gonna sell this house. And I mean, Lucy, have
you done this where you're selling your house and you
meet the young couple that's about to buy your house
and you think, oh, I have and you think, oh,
this is great. I'm so glad that they didn't. You
show them around the house and and you're and they're
(23:14):
just looking at this, go oh this is so wonderful.
Look what you did here that's gonna be and you're like, oh,
that's so good. I want someone to live in my house.
Is there's going to love and respect it and raise
their own family here, you know, and and have the
same great memories of this house that I have. And
then you drive by like six months later and they
completely destroyed everything.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Now I've done that, Like, hey, what's the matter with you?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
People?
Speaker 3 (23:35):
That just breaks your heart?
Speaker 1 (23:36):
We should outlaw that.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yes, yes, I don't care if who buys my house,
if it's a personal couple that live here and whatever.
H Well, I guess they might not live here yet,
and that's fine too, sure, But if it's just a family,
I don't care who that family is, I'd tell it.
But if I had an offer from my house from
a corporation, unless I absolutely had to move for whatever reason,
(24:05):
and all hope is lost and I don't care anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah, it's it's not clear whether the president is going
to be able to do any of this stuff. But
you know, that's kind of how this starts. President Trump
says they were gonna do this, and people are like,
he can't do that, and then by the time they
get done with that, sentence has already been done and
we're onto the next eight things. Let's go back here
to the latest from Minneapolis that mayor Mayor Jacob Fry,
(24:37):
mayor of Minneapolis, says to Ice, get the heck out
of our town, only he didn't say fudge. To quote
one of our favorite eighties movies, Christmas Story, Ding's get
the blank out of our town. What do you think
Ice is doing there? We know what they're doing there.
(24:59):
They're just terrorize people and they're gonna racistly round people
up and send them to Uganda and el Salvador. And
then later they're going to be like, oh, sorry, I
guess we didn't mean to arrest that guy. Well, too late,
he's dead. You know what. We know what they're doing,
and we have to stop them. Right, it's not at
all Immigration Customs enforcement rooting out criminals. Whether you've got
(25:25):
your dangerous gang criminals, murderers, drug traffickers, and all the
rest of that stuff, or whether you've got your so
called you know, low level criminals, those who are just
stealing identities, uh and making it very difficult for the
people whose identities have been stolen when suddenly they need to,
you know, take out a loan to get their kid
(25:45):
through college or whatever, and they're like, oh, sorry, your
credit's aful, Like why is my credit offul And then
you show how your identity has been stolen and now
you have to prove you're you. That's fun. If you've
ever been through that, that's great. People's lives are ruined
by those who are stealing identities. Every time an a
legal immigrant takes a job, that undercuts what should be
(26:07):
a thriving job market in this country. It drives down wages,
presents a class of individuals who are then a strain
on whether it's public safety or health care or education
because by virtue of their employer is being awful, now
(26:27):
they're not paying into the tax space. It does not
work out well on any front in this country. The
president has been trying to enforce the law, and when
they send ICE into Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Minneapolis, you
got people like the mayor up there going get the
(26:48):
plank out of my town.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Don't you think the first thing that this government needs
to do is start investigating mayors and leaders like that,
because if they're that adamant to keep the drug lords
and the criminals, and they're so adamant to keep these
illegals in their community, there's a reason.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I believe you. And that's something where I think that
the voters probably need to have a better view of things.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
But well, it looks like the voters weren't able to
do a lot with Minnesota for the last fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
That's what I was going to say. You've got people
in Minneapolis who feel like this is exactly the track
that the mayor and the governor of that state should
take in going out there and opposing ICE, obstruct them
getting their face it's patriotic to do so. Now. A
couple of weeks ago had Nebraska State Senator Megan Hunt
(27:45):
here in the studio. One of the things we talked
about was, I said, you went on Twitter and you
said blank ice and you were encouraging people to get
in the way of the Gestapo. And I said, aren't
you concerned that if we're encouraging people to start in
so hurting themselves in the middle of law enforcement operations
where you've got cops and bad guys, maybe with guns drawn,
(28:08):
and then you got some lady like, hey, you shame
on you guys, and you and they've been incentivized to
go get in the way of that. Are you afraid
that these protesters you're whipping into a friends, are you
gonna get killed? And she said no, And I said,
I believe that the result of this is going to
be people who have been told it's their patriotic responsibility
(28:31):
to go and disrupt immigration customs enforcement, and they're going
to get arrested, or they're going to get hurt, or
they're going to get shot. And this woman up there
yesterday was parked perpendicular to the lanes in the street
of Minneapolis she'd been following around, harassing and yelling at
Ice for a while, and now she's blocking the roads
(28:54):
so they can't do their operations. They go up to
the vehicle and they're like, all right, get out of
the car. You're now interfering with law enforcement operations. Get
out of the car. She takes the car backwards, and
then and this is what a sympathetic observer said up
(29:15):
there to the woman in the car. She notes, well,
you know, there was some Ice telling her to get
out of there, and then other Ice were telling her
to get out of the car, and she says, and
then there was an ICE agent in front of her vehicle,
so it was difficult for her to leave and she'd
been ordered to do. Ok, then why did she then
(29:37):
press the gas and almost run over this guy getting
herself shot because she used her car as a weapon.
We see this all the time. You can't use your
car at a weapon. And people are like, why didn't
they shoot out the tires or just go arrest her.
I don't know. Why couldn't she get out of the
freaking car when they were loudly telling her, lady, stop
(29:58):
the car, get out of the car. Why couldn't she
do that? And why is the question always why did
I have to do this? And why did this trigger
happy cop have to do that? Why do they always
go that route? And why doesn't anyone ever say why
when cops are telling you to do something, why can't
you do it? You have less of a chance of
getting shot in the face if you do what cops
(30:19):
are telling you to do. And when these agitators at
activists are incentivizing people to go get in the way
of law enforcement, more people are going to get shot.
And I wonder if that's not ultimately what they want.
I don't know how many of them were happy yesterday
that this lady got shot in Minneapolis, like, oh good,
now we can demonize Trump in Trump's America. Look what's happening?
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Were these questions asked? Was this outrage with among the
Democrats when Ashley Babbitt was shot?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Ashley Babbitt should not have gone through that door, right.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
And this woman should not have tried to run over
an officer.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
And the difference is is that you've got Democrats who
are praising law enforcement in the wake of the the
treason this Capitol Hill riot five years ago. This week
they're praising law enforcement, these cops they did such, they're
praising them, but Ice demonized. I even saw some elected
(31:20):
official yesterday say, when are we going to make it
in this country to where cops no longer get the
benefit of the doubt when they shoot someone whoa what
innocent until proven guilty. It's a tenant of what makes
our nation great. Not in the court of public opinion. Certainly,
this person's allowed to have any stupid opinion they want, clearly,
(31:40):
but are they honestly saying we need to you know,
everyone has a presumption of innocence until the state can
prove them guilty. Accept cops and especially Ice. All right,
I'll take a breath and then resume the rant. I'm
sure and just a moment. Glenn Beck show coming up
(32:03):
here in twenty two minutes for an hour, and then
Clay and Buck for the next three hours before Emery Songer,
who was all over it yesterday as this news was
breaking yesterday afternoon here on eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Scott Voorhies News Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I am Scott Voorhees. I don't anticipate anyone is gonna
pay any more attention to what I say, that what
Health Human Services says about the new food pyramid, But
we're here saying it anyway. Thank you so much for
being with us on Nebraska's News, weather and Traffic station.
Lucy Chapman here as well. When was the last time
(32:42):
you thought, oh, I didn't get my two servings of
legumes today based on the food pyramid?
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Just thought that yesterday?
Speaker 1 (32:52):
When we were bes and rice. Oh yeah, when we
were kids, the food pyramid, I mean, this was this
was the culinary bible by which we lived. Our mothers
would talk about it. I remember, you got to get
so many grains today, and when was the last time
you were worried about your intake of grains? At some
(33:15):
point we all just decided that, you know, I know,
when we were kids, we were supposed to have so
much of all these different food groups and all that.
But as an adult I learned, you know, pizza, it's
kind of the perfect food. It has all the food
groups in it. You got your meat depending on what's
(33:36):
on the pizza, and there should be meat on the pizza.
You got your dairy with all the cheese. You got
your bread because of the crust, and you got your
vegetables because a pepper or a mushroom accidentally wandered its
way onto my pizza. There's a black olive. You it's
really the perfect food, and so we just eat pizza.
Plus it's depending on how you slice it shaped like
(33:57):
a pyramid, and then we all ourselves look like pyramids.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
We only had two food groups growing up at my house.
Those were edible or uneedible, spoiled or.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Fresh government cheese and government ham.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
That didn't go spoiled.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
And still isn't.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
No, you could probably the cheese. I bet you could
probably slete that today, didn't.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
They also come out with the recommendations yesterday saying, look,
we're not going to tell you not to drink any
you like no alcohol. Ever, sometimes alcohol is good for socialization.
Actually go out and meet people, talk to people. Yes,
I get very social for a time after I have
a few drinks, and that's usually the time people want
me to be less sociable.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Been there.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
People often accuse me of having a few pops before
I go in here and talk on the radio. You've
never seen me with alcohol in my system.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
I assure you he's sober.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
This and when I have a few drinks in me,
I can occasionally only live in a realm I call
playfully tipsy. It's a very short window. And that's where
I'm kind of fun to be around and maybe a
little bit looser, uh with my phrasing than I normally
would be. And and we're having a good time and
(35:16):
laughing and everything's funny and and that's that's a good time.
But if I continue to drink past that, my mood
and energy level immediately plummets, and I'm like, I'm going
to bed. It doesn't matter where I am or what
time it is. I'm tired and I'm going to bed.
So my my friends are always like, we're gonna go
(35:38):
on a golf trip. We're gonna get Vorhees hammered. It'll
be funny. Let's let's get him. I said, trust me,
it's not. It's not fun. You think like, oh, there's
lampshades and I'm dancing on the table maybe for a
couple of minutes, and then I'm out.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Do you get cranky?
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Though, I'm like Indiana Jones and trying to judge, you know,
how much sand to put on that booby trap? Do
I get hungry?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
No?
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Do you get angry? I'm always hungry. I'm always angry.
Do I get angry, No, I'm not an angry drunk.
I'm angry. I'm a sober angry person, but not an
angry drunk. You know. Usually I just let old nine
millimeter take care of any problems I have. There d
(36:27):
in me step back? What step back? Let me know
when I go too far. Well, I'm I got people
emailing me all fired up and angry about the deal
in Minneapolis.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
And let's rand it on a more interesting note.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
And yes happy. I was just going to wrap that
up by saying, and this is the spin I was
trying to put on it, as I don't get all
amped up and start yelling, you know, like I did
a moment ago. This is what I was talking about.
Was it yesterday two days ago? I don't know. I
don't listen to this junk. When I was saying how
I went on I go on Facebook and I see people,
(37:09):
you know, actively rooting for the president to die. Oh yeah,
I was in the wake of January sixth this week,
and if you like, it'd be so great if Trump
were not alive, and people are like yeah, and I'm
just like, this is so disgusting. And you turn on
the news and you see things happen, and then you
see two people look at the same video of what
(37:30):
happens on the street, and they come away with wildly
different impressions of what their eyes are telling them based
on for whom they voted in the last presidential election.
And people look at all this and go, I don't know.
Everyone's lost their minds. I can't take it anymore. When
you feel like that, Come here, come here, here, Come here.
(37:52):
By the way, that's your eighties comedy album reference for
this segment of the radio program Bill Cosby himself here,
come here, here, here, here, I'm here. I know you're
not allowed to quote him anymore. I get it, but
this is where you come here and hang out with us.
Chances are we feel exactly the same way, and we
spend more time laughing about it and trying to get
(38:14):
through the day together in spite of it than wallering
in anger and getting all furious and saying, this person's
gotta do that. I mean, anytime you have awful things happening,
just remember Omaha voted for a woman who spends her
time chanting about how she loves trans people and pulling
(38:35):
pictures of influential Nebraskans off the wall hung there in
honor of our nation's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary this year.
As long as Mikayla Kavanaugh is still here, we have
boundless forms of entertainment on which to rely. So when
you feel bad about things, come here now, Lucy, you
get the last minute.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Don't pull me over and think I'm drying.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Lucy smashed a bottle of wine in her car. Were
you christening it?
Speaker 3 (39:06):
No? I bought This story starts with a brown bag.
It was in a brown bag. It was with another
one was next to it, and they crashed together and
the bottom of it broke out, and I thought it
went all over the canvas bag that was sitting there,
but nope, not all of it.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
You bought a bottle of wine and it broke in
your car, and now your car smells.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
It smells like cheap wine, like cheap wine.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
And you're afraid you're gonna get pulled over. Like step
out of the car, ma'am. I swear I haven't been drinking.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Nothing makes you go the speed limit like your car
smell like cheap.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
I was bathing in boons. I wasn't drinking it. I
swear like this is that bad. We have open container laws.
It's not open, it's broken. That's open, all right. Glenn
