Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott VORDIEZ, there's a Lucy Chapman hair a curl today.
Your hair is a little more curly than normal. Hold
it really close to the microphones so people can see.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
That it's been this curly for weeks. Okay, maybe because
I usually have it up.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Okay, yeah, perhaps it looks very nice, is what it
looks like. And I hope that. I hope.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
And that's how we're starting this week. That's how we
ended last week on the show, and we're kicking it
off real early here this week on news Radio eleven
ten kfab. Even Lucy Chapman can't get me down this morning.
It was an incredible weekend. Started off Friday evening at
the shadow Ridge Music Festival. Justin and the staff out

(00:51):
there put on a big old rock concert featuring mostly
nineties alternative rock bands in the parking lot of a
golf course. I'm in heaven out there. We got my
kind of music at my kind of place. Now. Though
I missed Fuel. I was here working a little bit
later on Friday and had to miss Fuel. They didn't

(01:13):
play my favorite Fuel song, so that's okay. I'll catch
them another time. But I got there better now. I
got there just in time from my favorite song by Litt,
my new favorite song by Litt kicked off a Plane,
and then they did the Clay and Buck song, otherwise
known as My Own Worst Enemy, a big hit from
the late nineties. The Fray was a band with whom

(01:37):
I was not as familiar. They more more two thousands,
and something happened after two thousand. I got old, I guess,
and even though it's still in my twenties, so I
was kind of familiar with their music, but not really
and they put on an incredible show. Those guys are
so much fun. That was super cool. And then Gavin

(02:01):
and Bush did as I expected, a rocking job. Those
guys can take you through all the emotions, from the
big guitar riffs of machine Head to the slower glycerin
or come Down. Just an incredible show. So that was
Friday night, Saturday night. It was a really tough night

(02:24):
to be an akron Zip at Memorial Stadium. But it
was even a tougher night to be a beer at
Memorial Stadium. It was a very if you were a
beer at Memorial Stadium, you were constantly looking over your
shoulder like I don't know how much time I have
left here? Tell my mother I let a and then

(02:44):
some guy grabs you and pops your top off your
head and it's all over. People were so happy to
have beer at Memorial Stadium that I honestly watched a
guy who was in the row in front of me
showed back up in his row and just started handing

(03:07):
out beers to people because he was happy to buy beers.
When people said, well, I'm sorry, I didn't ask you
to get me beers. Like ask someone will drink it,
and he's just handing them out like it's Halloween trick
or treat. Here's a micultra.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
So they come in bottles, they don't come in cups, cans, cans. Okay,
all right, Well you can't hand out cups of beer.
You're just gonna spill them all over.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Well, they'll probably have to have that conversation if we
ever get to a point like we saw last night
at the Buffalo Bills game, Boy, things got ugly. Great
game ugly situation is that football, Lucy, I feel free
to just leave your microphone off if you can't contribute

(03:54):
to the conference. Yes, it's football. The Buffalo Bills played
the Baltimore Ravens. Last night, we had a particularly ugly
situation when the quarterback for the Ravens, Lamar Jackson, ended
up pushing a fan who had hit one of the players.
I think he struck Lamar Jackson as well. Now these
guys have helmets. Lamar Jackson took exception of the fan

(04:17):
and shoved him. And then a few minutes later, here
comes Derrick Henry down the field for another touchdown. Guy
chucks a water bottle at him, almost hits him. So
this is what some people, including Jim Rose, who spends
a little time with you on kfab's morning news here
weekday mornings on eleven to ten, KFAB said, these fans

(04:37):
are gonna be throwing beer cans onto the field. There
was no reason to do that unless you were just
very very happy that Nebraska scored another touchdown, or maybe
you're upset that our punter didn't get a chance to
do anything. And how about just let's think about what
it's like to be the punter for Nebraska for just
a moment. The guy suited up, he went through pregame

(04:58):
warm ups, he was all ready to go, and then
no one even said, like, hey, why don't you go
in there and punt one just for fun. Nothing. He
had no chance to do anything. He might as well
have not even been there. They just ignored him all night.
I feel bad for him, he said, sarcastically. So where

(05:21):
was I? Oh yeah, Beer Memorial Stadium. If they start
chucking beer cans onto the field, then they'll probably move
to paper cups. At some point you get a little
dixie cup full of beer. But hopefully it never comes
to that. As far as the sporting events, Nebraska over

(05:41):
the weekend fared much better than that Bill's Ravens game
last night and the US Open tennis tournament where President
Trump showed up and people they said, like everyone was
booing the President. I don't know. I saw the first
part he was on the screen there during the national anthem,
where people started booing during the national anthem because they

(06:01):
caught a glimpse of the President of the United States
on the screen. Even though a member of the United
States military was doing an exceptional job with our anthem,
they still thought we better interrupt her in boo because
there's Trump. And then some of the Trump supporters tried
to drown out the booze with the tears. Meanwhile, there's
a young lady down there singing the national anthem, going,

(06:24):
is it something I said? Did I screw up the words? Nope?
Oh it's Trump. It's always Trump, isn't it. So we
had that go on at the US Open tennis tournament.
But everything a Memorial Stadium seemed to go pretty well,
except that there were some fans saying there were really
long lines to get concessions and there was some concession
stands that ran out of stuff. This was a brand

(06:45):
new operation. All of this was brand new that you
expect on night one. There's probably gonna be a few mistakes.
The question is are they going to have him fixed
for this saturd and certainly the next Saturday when Michigan
comes to our big house. So I thought it was

(07:08):
a really fun time at the game on Saturday night. Now,
yesterday morning was incredibly beautiful. Every year, Manager Dan Fuller
at the Shadow lake Town Center in Papillion high Ve.
I have to be real careful because I mentioned the
Shadow Ridge Music Festival and now I'm talking about the

(07:30):
Shadow lake Town Center High Ve. And at some point
I might have to go to the Shadow's Edge Haunted
House while listening to the old radio broadcast the Shadow who,
as I understand knows anyway, now I got all turned around.
Oh yeah, yesterday morning there was the annual event there

(07:51):
at the Shadow lake Town Center High V and Papillion
where manager Dan Fuller has a free breakfast for military
veteran first responder types and there's a remembrance for nine
to eleven. It's every year around September eleventh anniversary, and
so it was yesterday morning. I was privileged once again
to be involved, and I had a chance afterwards to

(08:13):
catch up on a variety of topics Department of War,
blowing up drug boats and more with Congressman Don Bacon.
You'll hear that conversation next.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Scott Voorhees News Radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Had a chance to talk yesterday morning after the event
in Papillion honoring our first responders, military and veterans at
the annual nine to eleven event at the Shadow lake
Town Center Papellion High V. Thanks again to manager Dan
Fuller for doing that. But one of the speakers there
was Nebraska second District Congressman Don Bacon, who I had

(08:51):
a chance to chat with afterwards. You're at the Shadow
lake Town Center High V with Nebraska second District Congressman
Don Bacon recording this year on Sunday morning, where we
just did a special commemoration for the what is going
to be the twenty fourth anniversary of nine to eleven
this week. Congressman, First, thanks a lot for being here
in papilion here at Shadow lake Town Center's High V

(09:13):
Manager Dan Fuller and his staff and all the local
fire departments veterans. They do such a great job for this.
Why is it important for you to be out here today?

Speaker 5 (09:21):
Well, first, thanks here in my neighborhood. We love it
out here. But it's important remember that two nine hundred
and seventy seven Americans and visitors here got killed that day.
It's also very important remember that all that nine hundred
and seventy seven, three hundred and forty three were firefighters
who ran to the fires. They didn't have to be there,
they ran there to save people. And also seventy two

(09:42):
law enforcement who ran to the fires. And those guys
gave their lives and ladies to save us. And it's
the strength of our country, as our citizens, our families,
our faith. We can't forget that. And these people were
ready to serve and with no notice, and they did.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
We've got a brand this here in just a few
moments when I want to ask you about a couple
of things going on in the news before you get
your bacon eggs and ash browns here. First of all,
the Department of War. What's your reaction to that decision
by the President and the Secretary of War Pete Hexas.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
I find a sort of cosmot. I cannot criticize in
it or praise in it. I mean to me, it's
the name change, so it doesn't have a lot of
value one way or the other way. I do remember
the Department of War was the Army only in the
Army Air Corps. The Navy is a separate department. I
did hear a joke that from my Air Force brothers
and sisters at the Pentagon they want to change their
name to the Army Air Corps. But eaveing them facetiously. Now,

(10:38):
what's more important is we get a budget that this
country needs for defense. And we did well last year.
We plused the military, spinning up to one hundred fifty
billion dollars more. But now the President and his team
came back with the old budget for the following year,
so that budget is inadequate. So I'm not worried about
the Department of War Department of Defense. I'm more worried

(10:58):
are we funding our military adequate, because that's the most
important We've got to deter China and Russia and be
ready in the military spending we're doing in the proposed
budget from the administration is the Biden budget, and it
doesn't work.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
They're some to say that calling it the Department of
War makes it seem like President Trump's at warhawk, which
he really has been anything but during his two terms
now as president of the United States.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
What do you think about those allegations? Like I say,
I just don't get too wrapped up a Department of War,
Department of Defense. I'm worried about what's tangible. Are we
spending enough money on defense? Are we strengthening our alliances?
Because America can't go against Russia, China, Iran, North Korea alone.
We need good alliances. So I'm more worried about that
and what we call our military. And in the end,

(11:46):
that's just such a smaller thing. And by the way,
there's some people out there will criticize President Trump. No
matter what he says or does, there's others who wi
appraise him no matter what he does. I'm more interested
in what are we doing to defend our country. I
want to push the president we need a better defense budget.
And by the way, most Republicans in Tyris steel this way,

(12:06):
not all, but most, and we've got to make sure
we're investing our allies. And that's what's most important to me.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
What do you think about that incredible video of the
blowing up of that drug boat out there? And some
people say, oh, I guess this is what the Department
of War looks like. And some people say, look, is
that really the best way that we need to go
about the situation in that way? What are your thoughts
on that we had one hundred thousand people die from

(12:34):
Futtnah almost every year right now? I think last year's
a little under that we lost fifty eight thousand people
in Vietnam over ten years, We're losing about one hundred
thousand a year a year from FUTANHL. I think it's
these drug cartels are our throat. I support the President
taking lethal action and people are trying to put drugs

(12:54):
in our country.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
We've all known people, right here at Omaha. We died
for Futannah Mary Barrett work for me. She had a
person working at her restaurant. So I was taking a
harmless strudge and he died, and it's just going on
all of our country.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
A couple more minutes here with Congress and Don Bacon,
Nebraska Second District. We're here at shot of lake Town
Center and Papillion, recording this on Sunday morning when we
just had a special commemoration for the nine to eleven
anniversary coming up later this week. It was something that
came up this past week here where immediately I started
getting emails going, oh, there goes Congress and Bacon again.

(13:30):
You know, he's just trying to stick it to Trump
and he chances to get the center vote on your
cohort from New Jersey, I believe she's from. She ended
up apparently trespassing in an ice detention center, and while
her little group was being escorted out, she seemed to
take a couple of swings and an agent who was
getting her out of there, and then they had a

(13:52):
censure vote to say we didn't like what she did.
You and Congressman Flood as well and a few others
voted against that.

Speaker 5 (13:58):
Why we have an Ethics committee that investigates these things.
I think she's probably guilty, but the Ethics Committee is
writing in the report, and so I find it. I
want to be consistent. If somebody's being investigated by the
Ethics Committee, let them finish their report and then come
back and put on paper what we think we saw.

(14:19):
And she's probably guilty, I'm glad to center her and
kick her off committee. Here's the problem. If we do
this before the Ethics Committee, they're going to bring up
we got a Republican from Florida who's being accused of
domestic abuse and doing illegal business and around the world,
and they want to sense her him. Okay, I think
we should wait for the Ethics Committee for him as well.

(14:39):
I did the same thing for Santos from New York
City who stole money, was a liar, but we kicked
them out after the Ethics Committee. I just think it's
appropriate to let the Ethics Committee do their job. I
think Mike Flood feels the same way. And if we
don't do this right when we're in the minority, the
Democrats will be kicking us off committee without due p

(15:00):
and we've seen that to pass. So I'd rather have
a little bit higher bar before we take action. I
think the ladies guilty.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
So let's get the.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Report and finally before I let you get breakfast here
this morning, and I appreciate your time. Any hardbare and
over the corn Husker clink iceed attention facility here in Nebraska.
I know it's in Congress and Smith's district, but what
do you think. I got some mixed feelings about it.
That's why I've been led us Center to be negative
or overly positive. We do have to have rule of law,

(15:28):
and we have violent people that are here illegally, and
you've got to have a place to put them, and
so we should do our part here in Nebraska. But
I also happen to know that about and I got
to from the administration about three percent of the people
that were detaining have no records. So and that's hurting
the president right now in the public, it could hurt
us in you know, the midterm elections. I think most

(15:51):
Americans want us to see actions on most are violent who
are in the gangs. I'm all for putting those in
the in the and Nebraska's got.

Speaker 5 (15:59):
To do their part. Us. I worry about the grandma
and these other folks, and it's any administrational knowledge. It's
about thirty percent. I just got that from Demand himself,
So I just wanted to be care don't. I think
there's got to be a little bit of a balance here,
because otherwise the voters didn't want just to go to extreme,

(16:20):
but they also want them to take action. By the way,
I commend the president. The border is fixed right now.
If we went for twelve thousand to zero people coming
here illegally, that's a good thing. But how to handle
the people who are here right now is a tougher issue.
But let's get rid of the violent folks, and we
need to and Nebraska's got to do the part there.
I worry about that thirty percent though that there's no record.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Congressman Don Bacon always appreciate the time. Thank you very much.
Please go get some breakfast. Thank you from yesterday as
event board the space station mirror. That's how it sounded anyway,
that's my conversation with Congressman Don Bacon. It sounded so
much better on my phone as I played it back.
I have to figure out why.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
It did you have your hand over the speaker.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
I thought I was supposed to, Oh, well, there you go. No.
I actually I had my hand over Don Bacon's mouth
as he was trying to talk, like sh not my
whole hand, just want my my pointer finger right on
his lips as I would do it like the Department
of War. I wonder what you think about this? Well,

(17:26):
I think the President sh don't speak, you'll ruin the moment.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Don't you wish you could do that to him? I mean,
not him, but a lot of politicians anyway.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, I'm gonna try that with my wife tonight.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Oh I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
I'm gonna come through the door and how is your day?
She says, Well, let me tell you. Sh wait, don't
spoil it.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Let me let me give you a little piece of advice.
Don't do it. Don't do it.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
I have said for years one of the big reasons
I have a couch in my office is because I
know I'm going to have to live there someday. I'm
just wondering what the impetus will be. Fox News Update
In just a moment, let's talk about that Department of
War potentially setting their sites not just on drug boats
but Chicago. That's coming up after a Fox News update.

(18:10):
Next dot timeline here is President Trump put a message
out on truth Social Chippacopalypse Now Chicago and Apocalypse Chico
Pocalypse Now, which featured helicopters flames in the Chicago skyline,

(18:33):
and he said Chicago about to find out why it's
called the Department of War. That was on Saturday yesterday.
The President heading over to a marine one. A reporter says,
are you threatening Chicago with war? Trump said, We're not
going to war. We're going to clean up our cities,

(18:55):
and then called the reporter from NBC News fake news
and told her to be quiet your second grade But
but you just said Chicago about to find out why
it's called the Department of War? Are you going to
war with Chicago? Be quiet? Look, I don't know. I

(19:25):
don't know why. All right, let's put it this way.
We're not going to war with Chicago. But the President.
I know what the President said. We can sit here
all day, every single week and go what do you
think about what the President just said? I I don't
know why he says things or does things the way

(19:47):
he does all the time. I don't know. I can
either twist my brain into a pretzel and try and
be like, but I don't know what it is. Let's
look at the reality of the situation. We're not going
to war with Chicago. But here's the question if we do.
Let's let's let's look at every angle here. If America

(20:11):
goes to war with Chicago, what do you think our
chances are of winning? Chicago a bunch of gang members
with drugs. It's uh, you can't even see the sun.
The sun is blotted out by the constant barrage gunfire
flying overhead. You can't even It's like, is that a
locust infestation? No, we're just shooting each other. So if

(20:33):
everyone in Chicago is has is armed with murderous intent,
if America goes to war with Chicago, who wins.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Well, what if it's a day that they're all using weeds,
so it's just kind of a weed high haze, then
we could maybe win.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
Everybody's just kickback chilling.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
I hadn't considered the kickback chillin weed high haze possibility.
Maybe that's the first thing we do. We go in
there and we drop off, not like pamphlets and leaflets
saying hey, we're going to war with Chicago. You might
want to head over to Avonston or something. Instead, we
just drop off a ton of weed. And then when

(21:16):
the when the cloud of weed gets to be so
thick that we can't see, that's when we go in
there with the night vision goggles, even though it's two
o'clock in the afternoon, and we just everyone's like, whatever, dude,
and we'll have them, and we'll have them. Yeah. I
like our chances if we go to war with Chicago
and win. So let's let's go back to the We

(21:40):
try and be rooted in reality unless it's entertaining not
to be. America is not going to go to war
with Chicago. I know what the President said. I don't
believe the President is going to declare war on Chicago.
And by the way, even if he does, Congress has
to declare war. And I don't get the impression the

(22:03):
Congress is going to declare war on Chicago. So now
we're speaking in rhetoric. Do I love the rhetoric? Chicago
about to find out why it's called the Department of War? No,
not really, Do I understand where it's coming from. Yeah,
And here's where it's coming from. President Trump doesn't like

(22:25):
the fact that dozens of people are shot and multiple
people are killed every weekend in Chicago, and he said,
you know, we can come in there and help with that.
And the mayor of Chicago and the governor of Chicago said,
we're good. We don't need you here. Why would they
do that, do they? Well, you either say we don't

(22:49):
need the United States, whether it's the National Guard or whatever,
the Department of War, we don't need the United States
that these are our people. By the way, it's not like,
all right, we're renting a bunch of uber military from
Russia and they're going to come in here and they're
just going to start shooting people in the face in

(23:11):
Chicago until all the dangerous people are gone. We might
kill a lot of innocent people, but hey, collateral damage.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
It's war.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
That's not what we're doing. The President is offered for
people who are Americans who want to control crime and
stop murderers, and yes, along with immigration customs enforcement, root
out foreign gang members who should not be here. This
is not like the evil military. These are Americans. These

(23:43):
are people born and raised here in Omaha or in Chicago,
trained in the United States, with love for the United
States and the Commander in chief said, all these great
Americans can come in there and help you clean up
your city, and immediately the mayoras Chicago the governor of

(24:04):
Illinois say ah, nah, we're fine. Okay. That's either because
you think that you can clean up the crime in
this community, which you've shown over the decades that you can't.
So I'm going to throw out option one. You think, oh,

(24:24):
we can take care of this. I don't believe that
you can. Option two you don't want it taken care of.
That sadly, seems like a more plausible explanation. Why does
this continue because you've allowed it to? And Option two
a if Trump sends in the National Guard and ice

(24:47):
and or whatever, maybe we send in the Marines. If
Trump sends them in and we clean up the community
like what has happened in Washington, d C. Then the
people who have been told by various mayors of Chicago,
including that supermodel what was her name, lightfoot? Man, I

(25:09):
miss her smoking hot and our wait, I'm thinking of
Lori Laughlin. She was cute. Oh, Lori Lightfoot looked like beetlejuice.
That's right, But I like beetlejuice. So I'm at odds
with mine. Anyway, various mayors governors there in that area.

(25:30):
If if Trump goes in there and cleans up what
people in the community have been praying for and it's
delivered by Trump, they would rather have people get murdered
every weekend in Chicago than for Donald J. Trump to
get credit for saving even one life in their community.

(25:53):
And that's the war we're a part of here, not
sending the military in and rounding people up and throwing
them in the backs of cargo vans and sending them
to Uganda, though that might happen. I hope it's the
right people. But the war we're at here is this

(26:15):
ideological war Trump wants to end crime. Trump doesn't think
that criminals should be given safe shelter in our country,
especially if those criminals are foreigners who are in the
country illegally. Donald Trump has this crazy notion that maybe
that shouldn't be the case in the United States. And

(26:36):
then you got people like Governor Pritzker and the rest
who say, we're good, we don't want you militarizing a
great community like Chicago. Wait, duck, here comes the bullets.
We don't want you military. Oh, I got one on
the shoulder there. It's all right, it's just a flesh wound.
We don't want Trump militarizing the streets of the Chicago

(26:58):
land area. What they don't want is for things to
get cleaned up and them have to, like the Mayor
of DC almost begrudgingly admit, yeah, it's a lot safer
around here. Now. That's the war. We don't need a

(27:20):
Department of War. We don't need a name change for
the Department of War to get that done. So we'll
I want to go back to something the Congressman Don
Bacon said. We will do that in just a moment.
We will also get Sean Callahan on here with a

(27:41):
Husker Buzz extra in just a couple minutes as well.
That's all coming up next.

Speaker 4 (27:45):
Scott Voice News Radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Lisa emails via the Zonker's custom woods inbox and says,
I'm heading to Chicago to see our favorite band tomorrow.
Not a hotel vacancy in downtown for less than eight
hundred dollars on a Tuesday. Are these protesters taking up
all the rooms? That's from Lisa. I think the protesters

(28:11):
are doing more encampments than rooms. I don't know who
your favorite band is. It would be too easy to
guess that it's Chicago that you're seeing in Chicago. Be
more fun to say it's probably Boston or Orleans running

(28:32):
out of anyway, have a great time, Lisa, I don't know.
I've noticed that hotel room prices around events, like leading
up to the event really really spike. If you want
to play it by your a little bit, I'd wait
till tomorrow to book that room. They tend to get

(28:54):
cheaper when they realize, oh, no, one wanted to get
this room at eight hundred dollars eight in the day,
you can get that for less than half that, which
is in my mind still pretty pretty tarn expensive. Okay.
Congressman Don Bacon was on here a little bit earlier.
We taped a conversation yesterday from our event we did
in Papillion, and he said, look, we want to round

(29:19):
up all the criminals who are in the country illegally,
but like not Grandma, And he said, I heard from
the Trump administration, the President himself, that they figure it's
about thirty percent of those with other than being in
the country illegally, those without a criminal record. Obviously, it's
taken some time to sort out, you know, the trendy

(29:42):
arragua gang members from someone who is not, but it
at least shows that they're willing to not just chuck
everyone to El Salvador and Uganda. The problem is, let's
say the Trump administration sai, yeah, it's about seventy thirty,
really really bad andbres versus people who just kind of

(30:04):
got caught up in a bad situation, whatever, however you
look at it, seventy thirty. The problem is is that
the media and the Democrats will say it's one hundred
percent Grandma who's being rounded up, zero percent gang members.
I'll notice that those same people, including those who say

(30:28):
we need to be there for Ukraine, they've got the
little Ukrainian flag in their social media post, are saying
nothing about the twenty three year old Ukrainian refugee, a
young woman who is on the Blue Line bus in
Charlotte when she was stabbed to death by a guy

(30:49):
with a documented history of mental health problems and a
long criminal record who was constantly arrested and released, arrested
and released. Can't do anything about this. This is the
kind of thing that Trump has said, we can't do
this anymore. We can't just wait until this guy stabs
to death a Ukrainian refugee whose crime was she sat

(31:10):
in front of this guy on the bus. It was
just absolutely disgusting what happened in Charlotte. This was on
August twenty second, and all the activists, all the left
leaning activists, have said nothing about this situation, which is

(31:31):
very very sad and very very telling. Hello, Lucy Chapman.
I want to apologize to you, not for a time,
not for anything I've said or done. You'll never get
my cold dead body. And funny how you got a
wistful look on your face when I said that. But

(31:51):
now I'll never apologize for any of that stuff. But
I'm sorry that you didn't win the power Ball over
the weekend.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
Why because you thought i'd give you some of it.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
You said you'd give me some of it. I think
we have that on tape. Let's go back to the tape, Hushcott.
If her win the Purple, I'm.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Good, Yeah, I remember saying that of her money, I
will give you half of.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
Everything I won this weekend.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
It's all yours, thank you, Not even a radio station,
movie theater remote or anything that caused you to earn
a few.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Bucks nothing dang, but that wouldn't be winning.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
I'll help you with half of you working. Hey, we're
winning at life right now. I'll help you with half
of your yard work.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
No, I'm sure you wouldn't do it right.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
It's always tough for me too. Like leading into this weekend,
I'm like, I'm going to the shadow Lake Town Center
on Sunday morning for a nine to eleven remembrance. That's
after going to the football game on Saturday night, which
was awesome, and then Shadow Ridge Music Festival Friday night,
which was super cool. Hadn't seen Bush in a few years.
That guy, Gavin Rosdale still sounds great and some of

(33:11):
his new music would be so perfectly sung by Peter Gabriel.
There's a certain I mean, it has such a great
sound to it. So I was doing all that this weekend.
I'm like, Lucy, what are you doing? She's like, we're
gonna put a little storage container underneath our deck so
we can put a snowblower under there. I'm like, that

(33:31):
sounds great, and then I walk out of here feeling
super guilty. And then on top now, and then on
top of that, you didn't win the power Ball.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
But well I did have ten chances.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
You bought some tickets, Huh I did? Did you allow
yourself to dream? Like what if? I mean, after all,
you know someone's going to win this, why can't it
be me?

Speaker 5 (33:55):
You know?

Speaker 1 (33:55):
And you just completely blew through what I said on Friday,
which was you are not going to win the power Ball.
That was for you. That was for you. That was
for you.

Speaker 6 (34:04):
You know.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
But here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
When I think about winning, I think about if I
could just get those five numbers, if I could just
get the five numbers, I would be very happy with
a million dollars. I think it's a million dollars. I'm
not very happy with a million dollars.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
Yeah. I love the people who are like, well, I played.
The power ball was up to like one point eight
billion dollars, so I thought, if it gets to be
that much, I'll play. But this week it's only gonna
be worth a million bucks. And not even going to
cross the street for a million bucks if I'm walking along.
I found a quarter in the parking lot of the

(34:39):
golf course the other day. Hey, great, you know I
put it in my golf bag. That's an extra ball marker.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
I was thrilled a quarter has become nothing more than
a piece of an ornament.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
Yeah, well there was golf course.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
It was a special Buffalo quarter.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
Oh I see, Okay, that doesn't exist.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
I'm gonna get an email from Mitch. He is the
official coin enthusiast of all KFAB listeners. Like it was
a nickel and not a quarter. I mean, you didn't
find anything not even worth twenty five cents, like Mitch,
Come on, man, So I'm sorry he didn't win.

Speaker 3 (35:15):
The power ball and I'm sorry you didn't.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
I didn't play. Oh I I'm not against people who
play like I saw some of the emails from some
of the local gas stations. There was a Casey's and
a High V where someone played. I don't know if
it was powerball or whatever, but they won. What I
saw the guy at fiftieth and High V. Someone bought

(35:42):
a ticket to something there and they won twenty two
thousand dollars. Now I don't know. I mean, if you're
sitting there right now, going that was me. I won
the twenty two thousand. I'm sitting here with my lawyer
trying to figure out if we're going to take the
lump sum. Or take the monthly payments over the stretch
of the next thirty years thirty.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
Five dollars and seventeen cents. You imagine what thirty five dollars.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
It wouldn't even like, it wouldn't even be that much.
Now the yeah, the payments over thirty years, we're gonna
stretch that twenty two grand.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
I would do taxes.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
I would do it just because I think that'd be
really funny.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Well, I always have my my winnings to fall back
on every month.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yeah, so I think it'd be funny.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Quit this job.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
Yeah, take this job and shove it.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Dollars.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
I'm getting seventeen sayands a week. Yeah, with apologies to
Johnny paycheck. Well, even if you didn't win the power Ball,
if you were just hanging out here in the area,
there was so much to do, great weather in which
to do it, you're already a winner. Right, Yeah, I know,

(36:57):
all right, we got better Shapiro coming on here in
a few minutes.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
I know I wanted to say that. I wanted to
say this really quickly because then I can distract you
by saying, Hey, it's Ben Shapiro on the show. I
might be the only person after this weekend's viral event,
I might be the only person to not completely denounce

(37:24):
the woman at the Philadelphia Phillies game. All Right, Lucy's
not even sports ball, I said earlier, like what a
great game last night with the Buffalo Bills. She's like football.
So you're not even a sports ball person. You saw this.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
Video, Oh, I don't think. I don't think there's anybody
out there who hasn't seen it.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Friday night, a guy for the Phillies banged a solo
home run into the left field stands, and there was
a guy who was all excited because he was there
with his son and it was his son's birthday, and
went into an area of the stands where no one
was sitting, which is not a great look for the
Philadelphia Phillies, by the way. So now you got the

(38:05):
mad dash of the people kind of around that area
running to get the ball. It's it's fair game. At
this point, the ball ends up rattling around between the
seats and you see three fans go down to get
the ball. One guy comes out with the ball, he
takes it over to his son, puts it in his
son's glove, his son's all happy, and that's when a
woman who hilariously looks like Elizabeth Warren, she Pocahontas, is

(38:32):
her way over there and gets right in this guy's
face and she's like, that's my ball, give me my ball.
He took it from me, that's my ball. And they
argued for a moment. You can see all this in
the video, and finally he's like, okay, basically, if it
means that much to you, here you go, crazy lady,

(38:53):
and gave her the ball, took the ball out of
his son's glove and handed it to this woman, and
she stomped off like darn right, my ball, my ball,
my ball. Well, since then, the team and a bunch
of other people have just heaped. I mean, it's it's

(39:13):
an embarrassment of riches for this kid and his family.
They got to go down in the locker room. The
guy who hit the home run said sorry, he didn't
get the ball, but I'll do this, and he autographed
his bat and gave the kid the bat and they
got to hang out with the team. Even the guy
like the CEO of Camping World, he's also on the

(39:35):
profit reality TV show. He said he'd pay for that
young fan and his family to attend the World Series
and give them a Camping World RV.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
What Yeah, what comes overkilled?

Speaker 3 (39:48):
Well, I mean, you know, kids get disappointed.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Why would Marcus Lamonis do it? Either the goodness of
his heart or he figured, hey, let's ride the wave
here and get a lot of people talking about how
great camping works.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
Okay, not that.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
Yeah, so I get right. It didn't say it was
a good RV. I would love it, Like, hey, you
guys get a free RV and they go to their
local Camping World and they're like this piece of chuck
that's a pop up. Yeah, we had a lot of
fun and a pop up camper when I was a kid.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Pop up tents or pop up campers is when we
were kids in the seventies and eighties. Yeah, they were Yeah,
they were great.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
How do they get that much camper? And did that
little box? It's amazing this woman though we have all
I haven't heard from her though.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
I'm sure she's.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Luring lawyering lawyering up for whatever reason, because I don't
think she needs to.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
But I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
But right, but that's just a move that a lot
of people make right off, but we've all been disappointed
as kids, every single one of us. And if you haven't, woof,
you're going to face a tough adult life. But we've
all been disappointed, and this is just one of those
moments that this kid has to chalk up as a
learning I got disappointed, so what. But the woman almost

(41:06):
feel kind of bad for because we all in the
moment of just caught up.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
And yeah, in the heat of the moment.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
And whatever, we've all said and done things that you
look back on and think that was one of the
dumbest thing I ever did or said.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
Well, the only thing we haven't seen is whether or
not her claim was that she had the ball in
her hand and he took the ball out of her hand,
because you can see both of them crouched down to
get the ball, and it's kind of the view is
obscured by the seats because it's on the ground and

(41:42):
they both go after it, and he has the ball
and she doesn't. So does it change anyone's mind if
she did in fact, and we don't know, but she
says she did. Does it change anyone's mind if she
had the ball in her hand and this guy ripped
it out of this woman's hand. Does that change anything?

Speaker 2 (42:03):
He really truly ripped it out of her hands, And again,
he could do that, even though that might be completely
out of character for him in the heat of the moment,
it could happen. Still, if he really ripped it out
of her hands, she still handled it badly. I mean,
there's no two ways about it.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Right. Well, yeah, I wouldn't have done that. And some
people have praised the dad and said, hey, he taught
his son conflict de escalation, conflict resolution. Although but at
the same time, that's what my wife told me, and
I said, I would have stood up for myself and said, hey, lady,

(42:40):
take your your bad haircut, get out of here. Wy
don't you uh, don't you march down to the hairdresser
and do something about that mess. And those glasses aren't
doing you any favors either.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
My favorite meme, non I would have called.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
Her fat and kicked her in the button her way
out of there. And it's my pleasure to welcome on
to this show one of whom I have been a
fan for several years now. In addition to being a
great podcaster radio host, he's also a number one New
York Times best selling author. His latest is called Lions

(43:15):
and Scavengers, The True Story of America and her Critics.
Ben Shapiro joins us here on eleven ten kfa B.
Good morning, Ben, Hey, thanks.

Speaker 6 (43:25):
So much for having me. Really appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
The woman who took the baseball from the kid at
the Phillies game, is she a lion or is she
a scavenger?

Speaker 6 (43:33):
I mean, I think when you take a kid's baseball
away that automatically makes you a scavenger. I wish the
dad had had stood up a little bit stronger as
a lion there and independent the kid.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
That's what we're just talking about. That's right. I'm glad
that you see it. My way, tell me the difference
bend between lions and scavengers.

Speaker 6 (43:51):
Sure so. Lions are people who are fundamentally motivated by judy,
who believes that it is their job to make their life,
the life of their family, their community, their church stronger,
that they are have a duty to uphold their civilization.
They ought to innovate, that's to risk take. There are
people who build on a fundamental level. Scavengers are people
who look at problems in the world. They immediately attribute

(44:11):
them to shadowy forces outside. They're control, They're motivated by envy,
and they seek to destroy and tear down on all
the systems around them. Now, both those forces exist, I
think in all people. I think you know every day
you wake up and you have to decide whether to
be a lion or to be a scavenger, whether to
look at your problems and say, I can fix this.
This is on my plate. I'm going I'm going to
do something better today. Or whether you're somebody who's gonna

(44:33):
get up in the morning and say, here's a problem,
It's probably the fault of somebody else. I'm going back
to sleep, or I'm going to go and yell about
how terrible the system is to me without actually achieving anything.
But on a civilizational level, the great threat is scavengers,
who are essentially envy and grievance motivated, get together and
decide that all the systems they actually make us prosperous
and free need to be torn down to the ground.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Do we have more lions or scavengers in this country?
Right now? As you assess the rooted playing ben.

Speaker 6 (45:02):
I still think that we have more lions than scavengers.
I think that's the hope for the country. But I
do think that that can fall apart very very quickly,
because the children of lions can easily become scavengers if
we don't inculcate our values in our kids. And this
is my great fear, It's why I wrote the book.
I think that there are a lot of Lions who
just kind of assume that their kids will be lions too,
because there's a country that has always stood for the

(45:24):
basic idea of meritocracy, even if it's not been applied
in full. You know, we've always believed in the idea
that hard work and duty are going to get you ahead,
and good decisions make a difference and make us more
free and prosperous. But if we don't actively explain to
our kids why those are good values, and we just
kind of throw them out there, there's an entire social
media sphere and legacy media ecosystem, and university system and

(45:44):
high school system that are designed to train them toward
grievance and envy and teach them that all the things
that actually make this country great are the things that
are responsible for his problems.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
Ben Shapiro's new book is called Lions and Scavengers, the
true story of America and her critics. High recommend you
pick this up. Ben, I'm glad to have you on
the program. With our time left here, I want to
pick your brain about a few things in the news
here and kind of put you to work like you're
my own personal jukebox. Is that okay?

Speaker 6 (46:12):
Absolutely, go for it.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Do we need to go to war with Chicago?

Speaker 6 (46:16):
I mean, I don't think that we actually need to
nap palm Chicago, but certainly if we're going to enforce
the immigration laws on the books, and that requires national
Guard support to do so, and that's that's what it's
going to require.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
All right, I'm glad to hear that you don't think
we should napalm Chicago. That's that's where we're drawing the
line here today. What about blowing up that drug boat
the other day and the Vice president's reaction to it,
where he someone said like that's a war crime? He goes,
I don't give a darn change of word what you
call it. What do you think about that situation?

Speaker 6 (46:49):
I mean, I think that we are well within our
rights booth, under maritime law and under American law to
blow up ships still to trend. Dot Agua members were
trying to ship drugs to our shore to poison people.
I think the President's react, which is, you can call
it whatever you want. Well, you're just throwing words out
there like war crimes. I don't care. I also think that,
by the way, that that seems to be a pretty
good response in general to the incredibly vague and generally

(47:11):
stupid notion of international law.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
All right, let's move on now to immigration, customs enforcement
and that which is going around the country. We talked
earlier this program with Nebraska second District Congressman Don Bacon.
He he said he heard it right from the president's
people that they figure that seventy percent of the people
that they have detained are bad people, thirty percent are not,

(47:37):
and they're trying to figure out left from right on
all this stuff. Here. What are your thoughts on what
the President's been doing with these ICE operations in our country,
I mean the world.

Speaker 6 (47:47):
All the ICE operations have been specifically targeted at criminals,
as Tom Holman has said, and I think that that's very,
very smart. I think that the two most important moves
that the Trump administration has made obviously closing the border,
number onepping the free flow of immigration across the southern border.
And then I do think these deportations have been effective
because one of the things that's happened is an enormous
amount of self deportation, and people have decided that they're

(48:10):
afraid they're going to get supported just leaving and going
home to their home countries, which actually has been an
underrated aspect of the Trump immigration program.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Have you ever been asked a question and responded with
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (48:22):
Yes, absolutely, It's usually from my wife.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
Well, I mean, you're always so focused and you've got
these great takes on everything. Do you ever just hang
out in sweatpants and just watch football all day or
all weekend?

Speaker 6 (48:37):
That was kind of my That's kind of what I
was doing last night with three of my kids. It
was actually Back to the Future three because a couple
of them are a little bit too little for football.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
I presume you watch the first two and then introduce
them to three.

Speaker 6 (48:49):
Oh, well they're a little young. For two, who's a
little scary? They have seen one? It's he one and
eighteen three.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
All right, Well, I'll look forward to your your kids
review when they finally see back to the future too. Ben.
It's such a pleasure talking with you. We ask all
of our favorite guests in this program to say a
line for us we feel is the best thing to
hear first thing in the morning. Would you be so
kind as to say, good morning, honey, I made you
pancakes for breakfast.

Speaker 6 (49:12):
Good morning, honey, made a pancakes for.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
Breakfast, just as fast as I figured you do it. Ben,
you get a lot of in in a short amount
of time. Thank you for taking the time for us
this morning.

Speaker 6 (49:22):
Thanks so much.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
That is Ben Shapiro here on news radio eleven ten
kfab again. The new book is called Lions and Scavengers,
The True Story of America and her Critics.

Speaker 4 (49:33):
Scott Byes, news Radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
The little issue that got some people posting all over
social media this week and going, I can't believe the
Vice President of the United States acts like this, like
all right, what now? So we had this little little
boat out there and waters coming to America that was

(49:56):
said to be full of gang member with drugs coming
to America. All right? Admittedly, I don't know how we
knew that or whether the bomb that we dropped on
that boat stopped short of blowing up and like, hey,
just before I blow you guys into obliteration, you guys

(50:20):
are gang members with the whole boat full of drugs
and guns and stuff. Right, we got the right boat
and the U and the guys. The guys were like, yeah,
you got us. We are. The Bomb's like okay, good,
because I'd feel really bad if you guys were not
murderous drug trafficking gang members. They're like, no, no, we
know when we've been beat. They reacted like the criminals

(50:42):
in a Colombo episode. They just very classy, very classy,
turned themselves in. We didn't have to chase them down.
Or they're like yep, the jig is up and the
bomb is like okay, great, and we just blew the
ever loving shin out of that boat and presumably everyone

(51:03):
who was in it. So that happened, and then the
Vice President said that this was a great use of
our military and this is what we should be doing
to protect Americans. And then someone, some guy who's I
guess the vice president has sparred with before, said just

(51:26):
killing foreign nationals without a trial or any proof is
a war crime. That's called a war crime. And Vice
President advance on ex Twitter responded, I don't give ahm
what you call it. He used a foul word. It

(51:50):
starts with S. It was the S word. And people
were like, I can't believe the salty language of the
Vice president and in this situation. Now, look, do I
feel one hundred comfortable with the United States just looking

(52:13):
at this boat and saying gang members with drugs. I
hope that they knew what they were doing. I certainly do.
Would I have some pause if I'm a member of
the jury and someone said, can you say without a
shadow of a doubt that the United States military did
the right thing and blowing this boat up? I don't

(52:35):
know that I could. I'd be like, was there a
chance we could have arrested them, brought them to trial
and a sham trial that would be years and years
from now, And during that time, other drug lords would
come to this country and they would come up here
with drugs and guns and all the rest of this stuff. Yeah,
it was it the right way of going about it,

(52:57):
to the closest letter of international law. I don't think
that it was. Now. Did I lose any sleep over
that last night, night before night before that, No, not
even a second. I didn't even give it a second thought.
Does that make me a psychopath? I don't know. That's

(53:17):
for someone else to decide. But it didn't. I mean,
if I'm forced to say, is this really yeah, I
don't know. I could probably argue it against what the
military did here. I probably could do. I want to No,
do I feel bad for these guys only if they

(53:38):
were a bunch of guys out in a fishing boat.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
Well see, now that's what I was going to interject.
If we knew for sure that that's what was going
on on this boat, which I can't imagine that we
didn't have the right intelligence on this. If these guys
were good guys, I mean, one are the odds of that?

Speaker 1 (53:59):
Oh, I'm sure there'll be some Connecticut senator who will
have some meeting with the one of these thug gang
member drug traffickings members wives and say we're here. You know,
my husband deserves justice. He didn't do anything wrong. He
was Maybe there was one guy in the boat it

(54:21):
was a bad guy, but the rest of them were
just out there to get some squid. How big was
this boat boat sized? I don't know it was.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
It was it seemed like a small crew.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
Yeah, I mean it wasn't a canoe, it was it
was bigger than a cattle ran maybe maybe a skiff side. Well,
then what do you mean to say it was the size.

Speaker 3 (54:47):
If it's the size of a warship.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
No, it's not the size of a warship. People, Yeah,
it was the size of a warship. And they were
flying a flag with a skull and crossbones, except the
skull and cross bones were in Venezuelan. We're like, ah,
we know what that means.

Speaker 3 (55:04):
Well, turning off my mic.

Speaker 1 (55:05):
Yeah, no, don't, even though I told you earlier too.
That's only when it comes to sports stuff. Oh, I'm
I'm sure that someone's going to create some international case
about this. I would say that this president is just full.

(55:27):
He's stock full right now of a whole bunch of
who gives a crap what any of my detractors think
or say. Now, I know you're thinking he always has been,
but no, he's he is teeming with I really don't care.
He's teaming with a boldness that is best described by

(55:50):
the acronym FAFO. And that has to do with whether
it's the protesters in Los Angeles, the criminals in DC,
whatever it is the Chicago's got coming to him, or
if you're a bunch of thug gang member drug traffickers
coming from another country thinking hey, we can just sneak
here into America with all of our guns and drugs

(56:12):
and all that. President Trump, I love more, I mean
almost more than winning the power Ball. I would have
loved to have heard that meeting, mister President. We have
it on good authority. Blow up, just do it, like,
do you want to hear Nope, just go ahead and
do it. Well, Hey, does anyone in here think that

(56:34):
we shouldn't just blow up this boat? That's what I thought,
you know, we just blow up the boat. And here's
another example of that. I'll tell you this is this
is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about. Something
the President did over the weekend, based on a reporter

(56:57):
making an offhand remark. Reporter said, what about this? Presidents
I didn't know about it. And then he just pointed
to someone like he's ordering a diet coke and said,
go take care of that, and they did. I'll tell
you what happened next. Tim emails and says, who wants
to board a boat that contains fentanyl and risk that

(57:19):
the occupants wouldn't resist and blow up the vessel or
use firearms too dangerous. I know. That's why I said,
Can I envision an argument where someone would say, we
can't just decide to blow up this boat. If there's
an opportunity, we arrest them when they make landfall or whatever.

(57:42):
I don't know that this was the only option here.
Can I envision that argument? Of course I can. I'm
very imaginative. Am I making that argument?

Speaker 5 (57:52):
No?

Speaker 1 (57:53):
You know why? Because I can't succumb and bend the
knee to whatever your daily outrag. It's not even a
daily outrage anymore. Every hour there's just a cabal of
people who are just gnashing their their teeth and wringing
their hands and saying, I can't believe we live in
a world where it's every it's always, it's everything all

(58:15):
the time. Everything is a fore alarm fire and a
national embarrassment and an outrage, and I can't deal with
all of it like we had yesterday at a church
in Chicago noted here at New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church.

(58:36):
They note that it is a predominantly black black congregation. Huh,
uh So Missionary Baptist Church, the Reverend Marshall Hatch was
telling the people in the congregation, and this is why
I find it noteworthy to describe it as a predominantly

(58:58):
black congregation. To them yesterday, as they were talking about
what to do when Trump goes to war with Chicago
and the troops arrive, he was telling people, you need
to start telling people about your whereabouts so you don't disappear. Yep,
that's what's gonna happen. Trump's gonna send in the military, like,

(59:18):
round up all the black people and make them disappear.
Send them to Uganda. They'll fit right in. No one
will even know.

Speaker 5 (59:28):
This.

Speaker 2 (59:28):
Is this a real story. He honestly told his congregation this.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
Yes, quote, you need to start telling people about your
whereabouts so you don't disappear unquote. Now, of course I
really want to read it in the style of Arcinio
Hall from Coming to America, But because someone might find
that offensive, I'll do it anyway. No you need Oh sorry, Okay.

Speaker 2 (59:49):
I am sad. And then, uh, I'm sad that people
feel this way.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
Yeah. And then Sexual Chocolate went up there and did
a great song the boys, good Boy, It's terrible. I know,
I'm sad that people feel this way as well. But
like I said, I mean, everything is a huge I
can't this is the most important thing that's ever happened,
you know, And so you might find something like this

(01:00:16):
or that that even you know, some Trump supporters would
be like, yeah, I don't know if that's really the
best thing. I don't know if that's exactly what I
voted for. But when everything is a huge deal, then
nothing is. Here's another example of where I feel like
Trump is total in FAFO mode. That would be around

(01:00:38):
and find out. I'll let you fill in the blanks.
There was a one of these these deals with the
presidents talking to reporters the other day, and a correspondent
for a conservative news network called Real America's Voice told
the president, you know that that blue tent out there
is an eyesore for people who come to the White House.

(01:00:59):
Trump said, what what are you talking about? It's like
it's just just out in front of the White House.
There's a blue tent that was originally put there to
be an anti nuclear tent for nuclear arms in the
arms race, and it kind of morphed into more of
an anti American anti Trump protest. Trump said I'm not
aware of it, and then looked at a staff member
and said take it down today, right now. And so

(01:01:22):
they went out there and they took it down. It's
basically it's a homeless encampment. It's been there since nineteen
eighty one, started by an activist to promote nuclear disarmament.
It is the longest ongoing peace vigil, protest, homeless encampment
in the history of Washington, DC, been there since nineteen

(01:01:45):
eighty one. President's like, never heard of it, but I
hate it. Take it down. I mean, that's a president
who's in full FAFO mode right now. And Clay and
Buck have got a lot more about this that's coming
up next.
