Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vordies.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
A few years ago, my father was asked to speak
and sing at church and he started off, and this
was the Sunday before Veterans Day, and he started off saying,
I've always thought Veterans Day was a family holiday, and
I thought, we're gonna have to find some sort of
home for dad. I don't know if we're talking about

(00:24):
round the clock care what. But we'd always joked since
we were kids because my dad, his whole life, he's
always been like, hey, you got to see this movie.
I just saw this great movie. Oh yeah, what is it? Well,
it's got that one guy in it. I mean, his
whole life has been like this. So we used to

(00:45):
joke as kids, we're not going to know when he
loses it. The sad thing is he's gonna lose it,
and he's still gonna beat me in golf. That's the
But a few years ago, he was asked to speak
in church before Veterans Day, and my dad started off
by saying, I've always felt Veterans Day is a family holiday,

(01:09):
and I'm immediately thinking of gathering around the table, carving
the turkey, having various beverages, like no one does that
on Veterans Day, he thinks it's Thanksgiving. I swear my
father thinks it's Thanksgiving right now. I'm about to go
up there and throw a coat over him and get
him off the the off the altar when he starts

(01:33):
explaining it's a family holiday because every family has someone
in that family who has served in our United States military, right,
I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
With probably at the time he was saying that.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
With well, this was just a few years ago, like
I think it was two years ago. Well, I don't
mean active family members currently serving. You go back, and
some families have to go back further than others. But
you think about on Veterans' Days, there's so many of us,

(02:17):
you know, the wee gen X kids, whether it was
our fathers who served in Vietnam, our grandfathers who served
in Korea, or World War Two. My great grandfather, who
was almost old enough to serve in World War One,
did serve in World War Two and was the old

(02:40):
man as a yeoman on a Navy ship. He was
in his like mid to late thirties, and they said,
all right, old man, like he was like thirty eight.
As the toughest man I've ever met in my life,
lived to nearly one hundred and two years old and

(03:01):
was with it and strong to the very end. It
was one of those things where he died and we
were like, wait, wow, how why, Well he's almost one
hundred and two. Yes, so the toughest man I've ever seen.
So you think about Veterans Day, and so many of

(03:21):
us think about our family tree, and for a lot
of people, they think about their friends, their kids. It
really is an all encompassing holiday that I hope fills
people with pride. I'm still hung up on something another

(03:45):
family member of mine said, probably four or five years
or so ago, when she was I don't know, middle
school or high school, my daughter. I don't remember the context,
but there was something about the American flag and being
a symbol for our nation patriotism, and because she grew

(04:08):
up in our public schools these days, and certainly I'm
not blind to the fact that she is aligned with
stuff in she does stuff with theater and things like that,
and some of her friends are kind of interesting and fun.
You know, that's all fine, But I at no point

(04:31):
figure that she was going off hanging out at school
and with her friends, getting a steady diet of how
are we going to get this budget under control. We've
got to be more fiscally responsible. I'll tell you what,
President Trump's doing a good job arounding up illegal I mean,
I at no point I ever figure that she was
getting a steady diet of that kind of conversation. I

(04:53):
imagine she was hearing all the stuff you expect that
today's teenagers are hearing. And my belief in that was
furthered we were talking maybe I was putting out the
flag on Independence Day or Veterans or Memorial Day or
just because because sometimes I put it out just because.
And she kind of had an epiphany and said, oh, yeah,

(05:17):
I have to think about the American flag as something
other than just being involved with the Republicans. You know,
she came of age here in this kneeling during the
national anthem. Police are terrible, America is an awful racist place,

(05:42):
and you know Republicans are to blame, and Magas to blame,
and Trump and all the rest of this stuff. And
she didn't say it in a way like she was
trying to get a bad taste out of her mouth.
She's just I honestly, my daughter was not old enough

(06:03):
in twenty twenty so last year to vote, and I
presume the next time she has an opportunity to vote,
I have no idea for whom she will vote. I
hope that she'll make a decision based on who she
feels as the best candidate. Honestly, I I just thought

(06:27):
that that was an interesting statement. She's like, oh, yeah,
I have to think of the American flag as not
just being involved with Republicans. And I thought how sad
that was that she was hearing all this demonization of
half of America. You can just say things like, oh,

(06:50):
those liberals, Oh, those conservatives, Oh, those Trump supporters, Mega,
oh those progressives, Mom, Donnie, you know whatever, you can
say all of that stuff. You're talking about people. You're
talking about your family. You're talking about your friends, your coworkers,
your college roommate, your friends on Facebook, your neighbors, the

(07:13):
people who you're going to see Little League games with.
You're talking about real people. And it's real easy, whether
it's in your mind or on social media. Just light
up half the country and say these people are raz
asting by you know, all that stuff. It's funny. You know,
when I'm standing in line next to you at Panera,

(07:33):
I don't get the sense that I'm standing around a
bunch of crazy people all the time when I'm standing
in line at the DMV. Sometimes I get the sense.
By the way, funny story, I had to go to
the DMV. It happened to be the last day of
the month, So that was smart idea on my part.
It just worked out that I could go there on

(07:53):
that day and it was the last day of the month.
There's a lot of people going in there to handle stuff,
and the day of the month this last month was Halloween.
So I'm standing there on that Friday, October thirty, first Halloween,
and there was a girl in there who I guess, like,
I know, I'm already dressed up for Halloween, either coming

(08:15):
from work where they were encouraged to dress up, or
school or college or whatever, or she's going to a
party and she's like, I don't have time to change.
She's at the DMV dressed as a bee. And I
was trying to think of a way to secretly kind
of take a picture of her and send it to
John Ewing and be like, see you leave the Treasurer's

(08:37):
office and what do we have? Bees? Big freaking bees.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Be careful to bees, they're gonna save us.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, you leave, and suddenly we've got a b infestation.
I don't know if he would have got it, but anyway,
where was I. Oh, Yeah, it's sad when I'm standing
in the line next the DMV. Yeah. Sometimes I think
some of you all crazy but generally entertainingly so. And

(09:07):
it's sad when I see people whether it's and this
is what got people so upset about kneeling during the
national anthem. People were trying to say, no, no, it
has nothing to do with demonizing the military veterans, and
the veterans are like, hell, it doesn't stand up, salute

(09:29):
that flag, take your hat off, put your hand on
your heart, try and mumble your way through the words,
or just stand there and take it all in. But
Veterans' Day truly is a family holiday, and I know
today you're either thanking a member of your family or
thinking of a member of your family. The President, for

(09:53):
his part, busy day as always. He's leading ceremonies in DC.
He I believe started the morning or he's getting there now.
I'm not sure the timing of all of this, but
he started at Arlington Wreath Lane at the tomb of
the Unknown Soldier. If you've never been to DC and

(10:16):
you ever find yourself there, Yeah, the National Mall is amazing.
To stand there on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial
should grip every part of your heart and soul to
stand there and stare out at the mall where Doctor
King stood, to see the Vietnam Memorial there. I mean,

(10:37):
there's so much to take in. Make sure you take
in Arlington National Cemetery as well. It's breathtaking. So he
has taken part in a wreath lane at the tomb
of the Unknown Soldier. With all the advancements in DNA
and technology and AI, and we still don't know. Can't

(10:59):
we find out who the Unknown Soldier is? Would that
ruin it if we find out it's a guy named Bernie?
And suddenly it goes from being like the tomb of
the Unknown Soldier And I understand the significance and this
is the wrong thing for me to be glib about,
but I can't help it. And suddenly they're like, he
had a name, it was Bernie. Is the President is
laying a wreath at the tomb of Bernie. Maybe it's

(11:24):
best if we don't know followed by remarks at the
annual National Veterans' Day observance, joined by the Vice President JD. Vance,
Doug Collins, who's the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and the
National Commander of American Vets AM VETS, Paul Shipley. Across
the capital, war memorials host ceremonies, they welcome veterans and

(11:47):
families from across the country and tribute And this all
happened as yesterday the Vice President and his wife visited
Walter Reed Hospital to meet with veterans and staff and
thank them. On Sunday, the President went to a football
game honoring service members in a halftime tribute where he

(12:07):
was administering the oath of service to people who were
registering enlisting in our nation's military, drowned out by booze
from people just couldn't help themselves as the commander in
chief with doing this. And oh one more thing, yesterday
he welcomed a person to the White House in the

(12:29):
Oval Office who eleven months ago was a full blown
terrorist and all systems go, bomb strapping, missile directing terrorist.

(12:49):
So who is this guy? Well, he's the leader now
of Syria and he just like under a year ago,
was labeled a terror by the United States. He joined
al Qaeda two years after nine to eleven, and then
at some point here became now And this is the

(13:10):
reason why he was at the White House. He is
the leader of Syria whatever they call him, president, prime, minister, czar, dictator, terrorist,
President Ahmed al Shahrah. An historic visit. It's not every
day the leader of Syria stops by the White House,

(13:34):
nor would that be a welcome thing. Secret Service would
have a lot of problems with that. How did the
Secret Service handle this one? Yeah, we've got President al
Sharrah coming by today. Wait, let me check our records. Yeah,
he's on a terrorist watch list. No, no, no, that
was it was ages ago, like that was that was
at the start of the year. That was eleven months ago.

(14:00):
And then they asked him. The media talked to him.
He sat down with Fox after meeting with the President.
They talked about some important things like is Syria going
to support Israel? He said, we're open to expanded diplomatic
agreements with Israel. I don't know that I'm gonna sit

(14:22):
down and talk with them, but we're open to the
possibility of not expressly wanting to kill them or harboring
the terrorists who want to do so. We're open to
that possibility. Now. I know that doesn't sound like much,
but that's huge. This is Syria. This is where b
Ala Sad was gassing his own people. And I don't

(14:46):
even think that they were people who were against him
politically or militarily. I think it was just because it
was Tuesday. And this is the guy who President Obama
gave Bashar al Asad president of Syria, with all their
close ties to Iran and Russia. This is where President
Obama said, all right, I'm putting down a red line.

(15:09):
Syria is not to cross this red line. Stop at
the chemical weapons. And Bashar al ASADA's like, you mean
these chemical weapons and just started spraying like chemical weapons
in the air like drunk college guys with champagne bottles
on New Year's Eve. He was handing out chemical warfare
like Oprah during you get a car, and you get

(15:30):
a car and you get chemical weapons and you get
chemical spray. And he's like, hey, is this your red line?
And he's long jumping across it, and the President was like, well,
son of a darn it, mother, you know, he didn't
know what what President Obama do about it? Jack, he
didn't do anything about it. This wasn't a hundred years ago.

(15:52):
It's like twelve years ago. So now we have the
new leader of Syria, and the President's like, hey, let's
give him a chance. So he goes to talks to Fox.
He goes and talks to Fox, talks about some diplomatic
possibilities with Israel, talking about reopening its embassy in Washington.

(16:19):
Apparently they thought having an a Syrian embassy in our
nation's capital might be harboring terrorists, so they shut that down,
and now they're talking about doing it again. This is
a guy who's in the Oval office, and they asked
him like, what about your ties to al Qaeda? And
he said, and I quote, ah, that's old news. Old news.

(16:45):
It wasn't eleven years ago. It wasn't like, yeah, we
all do crazy stuff in our twenties. It was eleven
months ago. What's his excuse, Like, Hey, it's the holidays years. Yeah, huh,
you said eleven months. It was eleven months. I meant
eleven months. Wow. Yeah, that's why I'm saying. You could

(17:09):
argue if it was eleven years ago. You're like, ah,
you know, I've grown up since then. Okay, if it
was eleven months ago, which it was, your argument is
it was the holidays. I didn't get what I wanted
for Christmas, and so I joined al Qaida. We got

(17:33):
together with some friends. I don't know if you've ever
done drunks Giving. It's great. It's the night before Thanksgiving
and you get together with all your old high school
college buddies. Now you're old enough to drink, and you
go down to the ranch Bowl and you see Grasshopper
takeover and you just get faced and what do you know,
I made out with this girl I've been pining for

(17:55):
since the fifth grade, and I joined al Qaida. You
know what, it was a wild night. I regret some
of that. It was eleven months ago. He was a
full blown terrorist, like going to Dillard's and getting fitted
for a suicide vest. This is Syrian Dillards, not affiliated

(18:18):
with American Dillards, which is a fine company. They spell
it differently. It's like D and then like a weird
Arabic symbol that looks like a genie coming out of
a bottle. And there's some like three ques in a
row it's pronounced dillars, and it's a lawsuit. I don't
mean to get involved in the middle of that, but

(18:39):
now he's looked at as a geo political ally, people
were like, wait a second, on the eve of Veteran's Day,
you've got a terrorist in the Oval Office. Meanwhile, the
people who hate Trump are like, every day, no, not
that terrorist. He's our president. This is the leader at Syria.
What's it going?

Speaker 3 (19:00):
You know?

Speaker 2 (19:00):
And then you have to ask the question, which is
a more dangerous place to go? I mean, if you
could fly anywhere right now, would you rather go to
Syria or Chicago or Berkeley? Based on what's been happening
in these American cities just in the last few hours.
Details coming up after a Fox News update.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Next, Scott gorhees where You're going? News Radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
I get to hang out with Lucy Chapman most every
single morning right here, And I tell you the thing
that I'm looking forward to when Gary Sadelemeyer finally leaves.
In case you missed the news announced here a couple
of weeks ago, Gary is mostly retiring as of his

(19:48):
final regularly hosted show on kfab's Morning News on Friday
December twelfth, which means starting Monday, December fifteenth, I get
a chance to try and live on the nocturnal schedule
that Lucy Chapman does and Jim Rows as well, and
step in there and join them and Craig Evans and
Courtney Donahoe and the rest on a regular basis to

(20:11):
also host kfab's morning news. But Scott, what happens from
nine to eleven? I hang on the dust hasn't completely
settled on all of that yet. Don't say goodbye to
me during these slash this hour all that. I wouldn't
do that yet. Anyway, I'm looking forward to blowing up

(20:36):
my schedule so I can hang out and annoy Lucy
Chapman even earlier, starting bright and early, and there many
cases dark and early.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
That's your goal, Yeah, that's I mean, so much is
possible you can do with that time, and this is
what you're focused on.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
I can't tell you how much the excitement, Like every
morning is Christmas morning, I'm like, what are we doing today?
I'm like, I get to bother Lucy on the radio
and I'm like, oh boy, I get excited and they
jump out and it's uh it's it's fantastic. I this
is what I live for.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
It actually does explain a lot.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Yeah, and the fact that I get to do it
even earlier when you even have you haven't even had
your coffee yet. I can't wait on a regularly every
day Lucy. This will be the first face that you
see every morning when you come in. This face.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
Oh boy, right here.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
Had not considered that I'm voguing for Lucy.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
I actually see Craig before I see you. I will
make I just won't look at him. How about that?

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah, I'll make I'll make sure you see my face first, Okay.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
And that's kind of scary.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
And last, was that a threat? Hr uh? Speaking of threats,
what happened in Chicago this past week? And let's see,
we've got as I mentioned yesterday, the Latin Kings, Like, oh,
they're awesome. I saw them when they performed live with No. No, No,
it's not a band. It might be a band, but
it's also a very very scary gang. They're very very scary.

(22:08):
You don't want to get an email that says you
have run a fowl of the territorial war here of
the Latin Kings.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
You're like this thought we had no King's day. I
thought this was settled in America.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
But in the country of Latonia, Ah, which is where
the Latin Kings are from, they still have they have
various kings. I would think that you just have one king,
but apparently they have several and they're very, very scary.
So you you don't want the Latin Kings to say, hey,
anyone who kills these guys gets money, which is the

(22:53):
boundary they put on the heads of the ICE agents
here in America. You kill an immigration customs enforcement agent,
you'll get paid. I wouldn't go negotiating real hard with
the Latin Kings. If you're like, how much do I

(23:13):
get paid? Well, we're gonna pay this. I'll do it
for this times two. Like how about we cut you
in half? And like, all right, you know what you're
I'll do it for half what you said. That's fine.
The Latin Kings have put a bounty out on the
heads of Ice. So all of these members of whether
it's Congress or these Trump derangement syndrome social media people

(23:40):
or elected officials across the country that say, here's an
ICE tracker. You can find out where ICE is. If
you see ice or the Border patrol anywhere, put it
down on this website and we'll compile all the information
and we'll make sure everyone knows where these guys that
are are at all times. And we don't want them
to wear coverings. We want you to know who they

(24:01):
are so you can follow them home or go after
their family or kids if you want. Meanwhile, they've got
bounties out on their head because they are enforcing America's laws.
We've got a suspect and custody after a shooting at
Border Patrol agents this past Saturday in the Little Village

(24:23):
neighborhood of Chicago. He is a criminal illegal alien with
previous convictions for fill any possession of a weapon, aggravated
unlawful use of a weapon, and multiple illegal entry. In
other words, he treated our nation's border as a revolving door.
You're like, oh, you're sending me back to my home country.

(24:44):
Oh no, don't. And then they let them off and
go now you stay out, I will, and he just
basically skateboards behind their bumper like Marty McFly, crouched down
so they can't see him, and comes right back into
the country. Haven't done one of these yet today. There's
your eighties movie reference for this segment of the radio
program teen Wolf, Marty actor right, movie wrong, Marty McFly.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Spaceballs.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Even my son, as I quoted, yes, I do this
at home occasionally. Even my son got back to the
future last night.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Oh Dot Holiday.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, it was the secret of my success. It's underrated,
fun little film. My son accurately got back to the
future last night. When I looked at my wife and said, now, Biff,
don't con me. Then I looked at my son and said,
what movie he goes back to the future, Like, that's right,
and we just kept eating our food.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
No, Ding, you gotta give him a date.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
No, I carry a dang with me at all.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
You can say it, Dan.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
Let's see here. So this guy just keeps coming into
the country and was taking shots at immigration officials in Chicago.
This is let's see here a district judge and posed
an injunction on border patrol agent's use of tear gas
during protests. In other words, you want to go right

(26:17):
into a Border patrol office or a detention center, You
go right ahead. You can tear down those fences, you
can barrow through the gates, and you can throw stuff
at the cops, and they shouldn't be able to do
anything to protect themselves. That's what a judge said. Chicago
has another problem, and that's just regular crime. President Trump

(26:41):
has issued a call for more troops in Chicago to
address murder and crime in the Miracle Mile shopping center.
This is a place that I'm not familiar enough with
Chicago to know about, the Miracle Mile. Lucy, you spent
a little time in the Windy City.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
It was such a fun place, such great stores, and yeah,
it was expensive. It was it was tough to shop there.
We found a couple, we found a Payless shoe store.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
So this might be like a Fifth Avenue New York City.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Yeah, I don't think it's quite Rodeo Drive, but I think.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
It was a fancy, fancy It was a very fancy place.
Well now it has a nearly thirty percent vacancy rate.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
I'm surprised there's seventy percent of them still there, right.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
And President Trump said they're ready to call it quits
unless something is done about the murder and crime prevalent
throughout the city, and he wants to send more people
in there under Operation Midway Blitz to deal with all
the crime in Chicago.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Well, I would say that to the good people who
live in Chicago or in any city, and that includes
Omaha good people. I know how hard it is, but
you can't just keep running away because the more or
good people leave, the more bad people will be. And
we just need to keep we need to keep fighting

(28:08):
for our cities.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
You've seen this in New York. How do you have
an election. How do you have an election in New
York where you got a socialist, a Democrat, and a
Republican on the ballot and the socialist wins the Republican
can't get a sniff of any votes. These are people,
and I don't mean to say only the Republicans are

(28:29):
good people. But when you're looking at someone who supports
hamas a terrorist organization, when you're looking at someone who says,
every time the jack booted thugs of New York's police
Department put their boot on your neck, it's supported by
the Jews, which is something that mom Donnie has said.
And then you've got someone over here, Kurtisliwa, who has

(28:53):
actively patrolled the streets of New York at night with
his Guardian Angels to provide support refuge and of trying
to do something about the crime in that city. He's
risked his life, he's been shot for his efforts, and
the people left in New York are not looking at
who's going to stand up against criminals. That's exactly what

(29:16):
Lucy's talking about, as people are like, I'm out.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
Well, there is a difference. There is a difference between
the seventies New York and today's New York that other
mayors were able to clean up, gotch cleaned up seventies.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
I think, yeah, well that was more of the eighties, eighties, okay,
and then Giuliani throughout the night.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Juliani, somebody started cleaning it up in the seventies. But
there's a difference because at that time it was crime
ridden and that's what that's what the people of the
police had to deal with. Today, it is crime ridden,
but it is also extreme mental health ridden and drug abuse,

(29:55):
and you have people they're not just criminals, they are
p people that are ill, that are addicted and then
commit crimes, and some of those crimes are horrific, and
that's that's tough to fight when.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
You have that reality in Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Denver,
Portland and President Trump says, hey, we're going to help
you out. We're going to help help clean up your city, Memphis,
We're going to help clean up your city. And you
got some of these city leaders going, no, really, why
because you want it this way, because you want to

(30:29):
create a state where people are more and more dependent
on you. What happens? Have they thought through and thought,
all right, so what happens now? I lord over basically
an insane asylum. Who's left to give me the money
to take care of the people in this city?

Speaker 3 (30:49):
Have they thought that through the federal government?

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Right? I think Trump has decided that the federal government's
not going to do that. But they're like, he's not
going to be there forever. So what you're saying, Lucy,
one hundred percent true. And you'll see the roots not
just in the big cities. What do I tell you
about what's happening near Omaha's Henry Dorley Zoo and Austin, Texas.

(31:13):
That's coming up at ten oh five, after your next
shot at one thousand bucks. I haven't forgotten about Berkeley, though,
hear what happened there last night. I'll tell you after
Sean Callahan gives US A Husker Buzz Extra next.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Scott Fordies News Radio eleven ten ky FA.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Last night was the Belly of the Beast Turning Point
USA event. They wrapped up this tour just two months
after their founder, Charlie Kirk was assassinated with an event
at the University of California, Berkeley. The facing the opposition,
and boy, they had it last night. Tons of protesters.
A guy wearing a maca hat was beaten and bloodied

(31:55):
there and then when police tried to arrest the guy
who was beating him, all the protesters there at Berkeley
tried to unarrest the person who was being detained. People
were setting fire to stuff. There were smoke bombs that
went off there. Cars were backfiring and sounded like bullets
were going off. People were mocking Charlie Kirk's death by
shouting blank, you're dead, Homie, praising the assassination, and trying

(32:21):
to block people from going into the event. All of
this happened giant angry mobs. Four people were arrested. Four
because I'm sure that there were people there in the
town that thought that it didn't go far enough and
why who was it that they were trying to prevent
people from hearing Rob Schneider, conservative Saturday Night Live comedian

(32:46):
who says you can do it, and you can put
your weed in there and making gup bees that guy.
The reason people were like, we are not going to
let people in here was because of Rob Schneider. The
hotel involved in an FBI trafficking investigation. Immediately we paused,

(33:06):
while you say, which one sad reality here of my hometown.
There have been several and there will probably be several more.
The one specifically in this story here from First Alert
six News is the American. This is the hotel right

(33:32):
off I eighty and the zoo exit right like fifteenth
in Vinton. The American. I don't know if I've ever
said the name of that hotel out loud. It's a M, E, R, I,
C capital I and one word like American, but American

(33:53):
inn like an inn. The America can right, got it? Okay?
The American Hotel near fifteenth in Vinton. This was the
subject of an FBI raid not long ago. Five suspects,
including the owners, were taken into custody for allegedally trafficking

(34:18):
and this is human trafficking, drug trafficking. It was part
of crackdown on several hotels. There was the same ownership group.
These people were misusing visas, which is apparently the new
way of saying we had people in the country illegally.
I guess we're not allowed to say that anymore. Accusations
involving trafficking and sex, drugs and labor and in the

(34:40):
country illegally. They were having a grand old time here
until the FBI came and shut down the party. So
what remains now of that hotel dumpster fire. A dumpster
fire would be preferable. At least a dumpster fire would
serve a purpose. People could warm their hands. It's kind

(35:01):
of pretty to look at the story here from WWT
talked first to the guy who runs Chops Bulling down
the street from there. His name is John, and he says, yeah,
this used to be a fun place. People would come

(35:21):
in town. They would stay at this hotel and they
would go to the Henry Dorley Zoo right here, they
would go to Lawrence and Gardens. They'd come in here
and bowl a few frames and it was a you know,
it's a fun place. It's a good location. It's right
off the interstate. I would like to see this place
be another hotel right now, though this abandoned spot has

(35:44):
become a hot spot for vandalism, loitering, and probably all
the same things that the owners of the hotel were
picked up for doing that fast. Oh yeah, well let's
face it, it was kind of all of that before this. Yeah, okay,
Now you just can't go in there and get a
room for the night legally, right, Okay, now you can

(36:08):
just break in there and get a room for the night.
But this abandoned building, according to district for city Councilman
Ron hug his district is there a southeast Omaha. He says,
it's not a good image for Omaha. Not a good
image for my district. He says, all hours of the

(36:28):
day and night, people are coming in and out of
this abandoned hotel. You got broken windows, some windows just open,
and the neighbors see people crawling in and out of
the building.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Well, they should call the front desk. Can you have that?

Speaker 2 (36:47):
I've been waiting all night from my room service of
Hobo stew It's gonna be cold. It's gonna be cold
when they bring it up here. Yes, could you do?
I mean about this window, it's broken, and there's a
homeless guy crawling through it.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
Send the doorman up.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Sitting here in my room trying to make stew in
a boot, and I got someone climbing in my window
much so they're looking at this dilapidated hunk of junk.
Right Meanwhile, families coming in here, like, oh, I heard
it's the best zoo in the world. It is. Where
should we stay? How many hotels are in that area? One?

Speaker 3 (37:36):
That one that's you know what isn't there? Wait a minute,
are you talking about the one on the on the
north side of the interstate?

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Sure, Okay, I don't know. Ron Huggs says that this
hotel is not only the hotel, not only the only
hotel in that area. He says, it's the only hotel
in District four. That can't be right, Ron, Ron.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
Now I know what they can do with the silos.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
Did he just fall off a ladder?

Speaker 4 (38:08):
Ron?

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Oh? Yeah, I'm looking it up.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
Use the silos. How cool would that be for a hotel? Right, hotels,
hotel silo, I'm going down.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
By the zoo that's down here, search this area. Jeez, Yeah,
that's the only hotel around there. Well, they have something
called the Omaha Zoo hotel is that at the zoo?
Can you stay at the Zoo sometimes, I.

Speaker 4 (38:39):
Guess didn't know that sleep in the I want to
go jungle all night, I'd do it. I would anyway
they are, they said, they're already had some offers on
the hotel, and of course Ron Hug, Countsman Hug and
others are like, we would like to see this place

(39:01):
be a hotel again. Apparently it's the only place to
stay around there. How in the world can you have
the only hotel next to one of the greatest tourist
attractions in the Midwest. And you decide, well, we can
either have a really nice hotel, we can treat our
customers and clients to the finest in affordable upscale hotel

(39:25):
ying that's not a word in a hotel stay. You know,
we're not going to be the fanciest, most expensive hotel
because we know that there are families coming around here
with kids and they don't want to stay someplace it's
four or five hundred dollars a night. But if you're
willing to part with what do you think is like
a good amount of money to pay for a hotel
room where you think, if I pay this much money,

(39:47):
it better be a really nice hotel. I'm saying anything
upwards of one hundred and fifty dollars, Well.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
That certainly would be the case last time I stayed
in a hotel, but that's been several years ago.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
For me, one hundred and fifty dollars better be a
really nice hotel room. Or it's like there's a really
big event going on, and even the roach motels feel
they can get away with charging one hundred and fifty dollars.
But if you're just regular hotel or regular zoo visitors,
and you're coming into Omaha and CWS or Berkshire events

(40:21):
not going on, and Taylor Swift's not in town or whatever,
You've paid one hundred and sixty seven dollars and you're like, okay,
it's at this surprise. No, I'm saying, I don't understand
how someone can't run the hotel charge that for a
nightly rate, encourage families to come over here, be within

(40:42):
walking distance ish of the zoo and be able to
enjoy all of this and patronize some of the We
should have more businesses around that zoo, places to eat,
stuff like that. But and I don't understand how you
could own that place with that kind of location and
say we can do all of that. Have the kind

(41:05):
of place where the lobby is clean, smells good, there's
a guy over here playing guitar in the lobby. Continental breakfast,
a continental breakfast, you know, and just have a real
nice hotel staff that is happy and greachy as soon
as you walk through the door. You can either do that,

(41:26):
or you can say, or we'll just use this place
for running our drug and sex operation. You can do
that out of a house. Well, trust me, I know.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
Is that property for sale right now? Or it is
for sale?

Speaker 2 (41:43):
Yeah. They're they're boarding up windows and securing doors this week,
and then they're they're posting offers over the next two
to three weeks and they'll then figure out who they're
going to sell the place to. They said, they're already
getting some offers. Hopefully it'll be a nice hotel.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
Well, I hope they choose the right offer. Because with
the rebuild of Little Bohemia not too far away, you've
got the casinos are rebuilding. They're going to have standalone
buildings now, all of them. I think that is a
perfect place for a really nice, but not too nice
because you want to be able to stay families. I
tried families. A really great place ye need.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
We don't need the Ritz Carlton, but a Hilton Garden
End would be real nice, a nice windom something, and
you could.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
Put a small, boutique hotel near it too, you know,
the small I need to state a better place.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
I'm right sure. I'm saying the kind of place where
if I'm traveling with my family. Now, when I'm getting
a hotel room from my family, I shell out a
few more dollars than if I'm just traveling by myself.
Where I will car. I have literally slept everywhere anywhere
I slept. I spent the night in a hotel room

(43:09):
where I'm standing lying there at the front desk, behind
people who are getting their money back from this hotel room.
From this particular room. It was the only room available,
and I was tired of sleeping in my car. It's
a very long story. Will just tease you with that
bit of it. So these people get their money back
and leave, and the desk clerk says, do you want

(43:31):
to see the room first? People decided they don't want
to stay there. I said, yeah, maybe I should have
a look. The soap in the shower had mold on it.
The cleanest thing in the room, you would think is
the bar of soap had mold on it. And I
stayed in that room and I took a shower, and

(43:52):
I slept on top of the sheets.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
You really, yeah, but the sheets were bad too.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
I'm telling you, I'll sleep anywhere when I take my
family out. I've been told after I took my daughter,
My daughter and I stayed someplace where the uber driver
has taken us to the hotel. Because you know, if
I'm getting in late to a hotel and just sleeping
for a few hours, I'm not going to pay two
hundred dollars for a hotel room. I'm only going to
be in for like six hours. And this was the case,

(44:21):
so I got a cheaper hotel. Looked fine. The uber
driver's taken my daughter and I over there, and he says,
are you sure.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
We only walked away from two hotel rooms. The first
one you had to leave your you had to sign
a thing saying you'll talk to the police.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (44:40):
Yeah, And we said yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
So my wife has demanded I am not staying and
you're not putting subjecting my family in another one of
your hotels, Scott. So now we have fancy, fancier hotels
by my standards, and so I'm saying one of those
hotels over there, not something i'd stay in by myself,

(45:02):
but something where my family would say.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
What about a city owned hotel?

Speaker 2 (45:06):
We have those and they're fine.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
We do.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Yeah, we have Mecca partnerships with some of the hotels,
but you wouldn't need it. Why would you need a
city owned hotel. We can't even do road construction in
this area.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
Good point.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
Well a, we're gonna have We're run a hotel too. Yeah,
the hotel's under construction forever. All right. The hotel's open,
but the bridge to get to the hotels is getting
removed and we're putting a streetcar line in front of it.
You can't actually get to the hotel. What a great idea, Lucy.
You got any more bright ideas?

Speaker 3 (45:37):
I'll work on it.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
Homelessness, we uh obviously are dealing with it here in Omaha,
but don't worry. We're on the brink of Mayor Ewing's
plan to deal with it, which is winter. We expect
we'll see fewer homeless people visible in the streets of
Omaha during winter. Therefore, we've solved the problem. But let
me tell you what's happening in another part of the

(46:00):
country where homeless people have thought, I'll live here, it'll
be nice, and the town was like, yeah, we we're
carrying liberal We're a blue dot in a red state.
Does it sound familiar? Give you the details on this.
Coming up next, I really want to make an advertisement
of the two guys hanging out in the gym talking

(46:21):
about how one guy is taking this particular treatment or
drug or pill or whatever. He's trying to tell the
guy like it. It's really spiced things up in the bedroom,
and the other guy's just not getting it. What do
you mean? I just mean that, you know, in the bedroom,
I'm I feel young again. Like did you repaint the bedroom?

(46:42):
You didn't hire it out? No, that's not what I
mean at all. Did you move the furniture around all
by yourself? You put the you man handle the chest
of drawers. No. What I'm saying is I am taking
like that's what I want to do.

Speaker 3 (46:57):
Did you fall off a ledder?

Speaker 2 (47:00):
Well, I was ron Sorry. I enjoy the sponsors on
this radio station. They entertained me in a variety of ways.
I'm Scott Vorhees. There's Lucy Chapman. This is News Radio
eleven to ten kfab. I'm seeing ads on social media

(47:20):
featuring Dan Osborne. Dan Osborne is your independent candidate for
the US Senate, supported by the Democrats, paid for by
the Democrats, but not a Democrat. I'll pause while that
doesn't make any sense to you either. So dan Osborne's
running for Senate, this time against Pete Ricketts. Couldn't beat

(47:42):
deb Fisher, but I'm going to take out Pete Riggetts,
by golly, I am. And all these things that I
see with dan Osborne are basically like, not, I know
that Nebraska voted in favor of medical marijuana. This is
not going to be a long run on medical marijuana.
Don't worry, but Nebraska's voted for it. The governor and

(48:05):
various commissions have been slow walking to the point where
some people believe they're never gonna let it happen. Yeah,
now you're getting it. And dan Osborne's like, we need marijuana,
and he starts talking about all these places like Colorado
or whatever. He's like, these guys are getting a whole
bunch of money from marijuana. Great, let's I don't know
the Nebraskans and this is a statewide race what we

(48:28):
might do in Omaha or Lincoln in terms of what
what he seems to be talking about is recreational marijuana,
government grown weed. And Dan Osborne's like, these places are
making a whole bunch of money off marijuana. This will
be the way we can fund Nebraska. We can lower
property taxes. Now, some people are like, look, I don't

(48:50):
like that, you know, devil's plant, But if you can
lower my property taxes, that's fine. I'm not going to
smoke it. I know the neighbor kid will maybe I
get my property taxes lower it off of the awful
habit of the neighbor kid. Already he won't be a
productive member of society or anything.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
But it would already be lowered if we had recreational marijuana,
because the property values would go down.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
Property values would go down.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
I guess that doesn't even matter anymore, does it?

Speaker 2 (49:21):
How many? How does workforce participation? How does engagement at
work go up in these areas that have legalized recreational marijuana? Now,
I get it. Some people are able to just have
just a little bit here and there to level off
and mellow out, you know, the same way that I
would have a glass of wine. And some people are

(49:46):
raging alcoholics and potheads. Why is one legal on ones not?
I don't know. I don't feel like getting into it.
But I can tell you that legalized recreational marijuana that
was supposed to generate huge tax revenue for California has
not panned out. In Los Angeles. Licensed marijuana shops in

(50:07):
LA oh more than four hundred million dollars in back
taxes and penalties. Some shops have gone broke. Most are
just refusing to pay. Are you what You're refusing to
pay taxes? That's right, We're not going to pay you. Amazing.
The former drug dealers who are selling an illicit narcotic
that's still and from a federal standpoint, an illicit narcotic

(50:31):
now get into legal business and they don't want to
pay their taxes. Who could have possibly seen this coming?
And their argument is, well, we want the city to
crack down on unlicensed illegal weed sales. One shop owner says,
every time he opens a store in Los Angeles, two
or three black market stores will open up next to

(50:54):
us and they take our customers. That's capitalism, except it's
all illegal.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
Talking about unregulated marijuana sellers. Yeah, are pulling our opening
stores right next to regulated marijuana stores.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
These guys are regulated. They're they're collecting a tax, and
therefore their prices are higher. They have to pay a
certain wage for their employees, and they have to go
through the licensing process to be able to do all
of this.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
Well, if they're not going to do anything about the
two stores next time, I wouldn't pay my taxes either. Sure.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
Meanwhile, Ditchwood Dave is undercutting them in the alley behind
their store, and these guys are like, this is an outrage. Yeah,
now you know how America felt when you guys were
Ditchwood Dave. And it's not penning out in Los Angeles.
They have four hundred million dollars in taxes, all right,
pothand owners, pot shop owners, you gotta pay your taxes

(51:47):
taxes here, How about this? How about you have a
little toke of our product and then tell me whether
or not I need to pay my taxes. You're good, dude,
You're good. It's all good. It's all love.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
Talk back tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
It's all love. And then you've got Austin, Texas, the
little blue dot. Austin, Texas is having a little problem
with homelessness. The City of Austin is cutting six point
two million dollars from emergency services. This is ems, fire,

(52:27):
parks and rec some some emergency services, some parks and
rec because they need to put the money towards homeless programs.
Why do they suddenly need money for homeless programs because
they have so many people living in Austin, Texas. They said,

(52:47):
all right, you nice people of Austin, you good liberal,
progressive people of Austin. We've got to take care of
our friends and neighbors. We got a lot of homeless
people in this community and they need services. And so
here's what we're gonna do. This was on the ballot.
They asked the people of Austin for a twenty percent

(53:11):
property tax increase. Twenty percent property tax increase on home
and business owners in Austin, working people paying taxes who
own property, just a twenty percent more. I'm guessing the
property taxes in Austin probably just as high as every
place else. And they said we're gonna add twenty percent

(53:32):
and We'll take that money and will benevolently give it
out to all these unsheltered people in the community. And
this is where the people of Austin, the good liberal people, like, hey,
we got a great music scene here. We're a super
blue dot in a red state. We're very cool. But
we're not going to pay for that. No, and they
overwhelmingly rejected this idea by the city of Austin. So

(53:55):
Austin decided like, well, we can either put out fires,
we can send out emergencies services to you, or we
can take care of the homeless people. They're cutting money
from fire and ems services to give money to serve
all the homeless people who have congregated to Austin, Texas
and the people there who all of their policies, all

(54:18):
of their however well intentioned ideas and policies, led to
this problem. Now we're looking at the problem going way.
I didn't want me to pay for it. I thought
the government would pay for this. You are the government, dummy.
You voted for all of this, You fund all of this.
They're out of your money, so what are they going
to do try and get more of your money. So

(54:40):
all these people who are like no, no, No, we
can handle having a homeless issue, illegal immigrants, legal marijuana.
It's all fine, hell it is.

Speaker 3 (54:50):
The thing I can't get past is that they expected
that this might actually pass, this twenty percent increase.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
They are counting on it.

Speaker 3 (54:58):
Okay, So they're either delusional, which is probably the case, yes,
or they have some other plan. And I know you've
talked about in their cutting services. Now, So was that
the plan all along? Because surely, even if you're delusional,
you can't possibly have expected that to pass.

Speaker 2 (55:18):
I think that they did expect it to pass, wow,
and it overwhelmingly failed. And now they're like, well, now
what are we gonna do?

Speaker 3 (55:25):
I wish I had had a chance to go to
Austin City Limits before this all happened.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
It's on TV, I know, and I A you watch
it on TV Fox News Update next, Scott Boardees, what
would you say, Lucy? Are my favorite subjects on this
radio program? What do I talk about a lot? Is
there anything that well?

Speaker 3 (55:42):
Obviously your kids.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
Yesterday was my son's birthday.

Speaker 3 (55:47):
What did he like? Twenty five? Now sixteen?

Speaker 2 (55:50):
He's sixteen. I basically had to kick him out of
the house last night. I said, you're going to go
for a drive. He's like, I don't know where I'd go.
It's like pick someplace and there get out. Really okay,
they went and picked up his friend and they went
to DQ.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
Yeah, and kids today.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
No, he.

Speaker 3 (56:10):
I don't want They don't want to drive.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
No, he definitely wants to drive. He's had a school
permit for months. He's been driving to and from school
and athletic activities since I think June. So the novelty
of oh, I get to go for a drive that
wore off months ago. This gives him a chance to
expand his universe and make his mother even more nervous.

(56:34):
So sixteen years old, my baby, my baby. Other than that, though,
you're right, favorite subject on this program is these darn
kids today, whether it's mine or someone else's.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
Now here's the part of the show where Lucy says
she's glad she doesn't have kids.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
We should all hope, though, that if we purposefully or
accidentally bring kids into the world, you know, accidentally bring
a kid into the world, I slipped, we would hope,
we would hope that they would grow up like these kids.
These are a couple of kids that go to a
Jesuit High school, Creighton Prep. Now not here. This is

(57:16):
in South Florida and or sorry, south South Tampa, so
Gulf Coast, Florida Jesuit high school teenagers. This kid, he's
been riding or riding his bike or walking by a
small cemetery on his way to and from school right

(57:37):
there on Kennedy Boulevard in South Tampa for years. This
kid drew road past the American Legion Cemetery on his
way through South Tampa, wandering about as kids and adults,
do you drive by or you walk by a cemetery,
you can't help it look in there, have a variety

(57:59):
of thoughts. How old is the oldest tombstone? Who was
the first person buried there? Does it go back to
the eighteen hundreds? I mean this is Florida six fifteen, fifteens, Yeah,
I mean.

Speaker 3 (58:14):
I mean depending where it is right right now.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
If it's an American Legion cemetery, probably not that that far.
But you can't help but wonder, like what are the
stories of the people in there? And this kid was
wondering that. He always wondered who was buried there, and
so he dug them up. And now I'm just seeing
if you're paying attention now. He he started working with
the American Legion and the president of the cemetery, and

(58:42):
she said, yeah, although the cemetery has the souls of
seven hundred and thirty two American Legion veterans in there,
we really don't know. We don't have any documents about
any of them, and certainly the family members. Don't it
be nice if people could come to the cemetery to

(59:03):
stop in and you could have like something you follow
along with on your phone to learn about a particular
veteran buried here at this cemetery. And Drew and his
buddy A Page got to work and now they manage
a digital presence, designing posts and sharing stories and trying

(59:24):
to get details. But every single one of the seven
hundred and thirty two veterans who are buried at the
American Legion cemetery there on Kennedy Boulevard in South Tampa, Florida.
And it's called American Bios. And he's trying to expand
beyond just this one cemetery to the rest of the

(59:46):
country as well. It's a volunteer effort to catalog every
veteran buried at an American Legion or military cemetery, so
people can if you're walking along out of curiosity or
you just want to spend veterans and you're maybe you
and this is probably true for a lot of people.

(01:00:06):
You would use Memorial Day, for example, to visit the
graves and you're there and you're even though you're like,
I was just here a year ago, Where is Grandpa?
You know that kind of thing, and you're looking at
all these other headstones. Wouldn't it be nice to have
something you can follow along with on your phone, an
app to be able to scan or use GPS. I

(01:00:27):
don't know how they do it to tell you who's here.
I think that's super cool.

Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
It is very cool. And do they go into the
soldier meeting where he was from, what his name was,
where he was from, and so on and so forth.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
Whatever information they can get about him, And this is
probably whether it's family records, who they're able to talk to.
I mean, this is this has got to be just
a lot of effort to go through all of this.
First of all, you got a cold call family members
not interested? No, no, no, we're not charging you for this.
We just want to help tell your family member's story.
I know a scam, and I hear one anytime you

(01:01:02):
call anyone that you got to deal with all that.
But if you can actually get through to someone and
then get through to them to say no, no, no, this
is what we're doing and we want to help tell
this person story about your uncle.

Speaker 3 (01:01:15):
What do they put a QR code on the garage?
I mean, how do you get to the information if
you don't have the name.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
I don't know if it's like a QR code on
the headstone, which some families are like, we don't need
to can we brand it? Can we get nil money?
I mean, some families will probably be all for it.
But now it's probably if you're there in any cemetery,
it's like you go to row l mark or four

(01:01:42):
and then you can kind of follow along on a map. Probably.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
I think it's a great idea. I'm glad they're doing it.
I just don't know how this is going to work
large scale. But having said that, if anybody in Omaha
wants to do that, I'm available for voice work. I
would voice those stories, right. It would be so fun.

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
But don't you think though, it would be a little
sweet coming from you, Because when you want, when you
put on your your broadcast voice, you know it's you
don't want it to sound like this person died in battle.
This person was out serving.

Speaker 3 (01:02:17):
Are you saying I can't?

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
He was serving our nation and the war and uh
in the Revolutionary War, and he died of typhoid. Like
it's gonna sound really sweet coming from you.

Speaker 3 (01:02:29):
All right, try this. Jedtadah k Wilkins, not Wilkins. Wilkins.

Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
He's just one. It was just one one Wilkins.

Speaker 3 (01:02:39):
Jedidiah Wilkins. He hero, he hailed. He hailed from Kentucky.
I guess we're in a Civil War graveyard. Yes, hailed
from Kentucky.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
And with it, you're right, Yeah, you can't. You're right.
I can't do it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:59):
I can't, sorry, Jedidie Right.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
Lucy would get a piece of copy and like, all right,
I gotta, I gotta. I have the honor, I have
the the the honorable opportunity to tell this man's story.
And she'd have like a paragraph of copy in front
of her, But she spent the next three hours trying
to learn how to pronounce his name correctly. Well, I'm
not gonna pronounce his name. And I talked to eight
different family and my members, so I heard eight different

(01:03:25):
ways of pronouncing his name. Is is it Wilkins or
is it Wilkins?

Speaker 3 (01:03:29):
It's unnecessary.

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
Sometimes you get a veteran who dies. Have you ever
had this in your family? Someone dies, you know, who's
very old, very old, like in their sixties. So someone dies,
and then you're looking at the birth certificate and you're
getting all the records together and you're like, wait a second.
He always said his middle name was this, but his
birth certificate his middle name was that. You ever had

(01:03:52):
that one in your family?

Speaker 3 (01:03:53):
I've never met anybody with the middle name of that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
Or a guy just dies and well he decided without
telling me one he just changed his middle name, and like,
who's gonna know?

Speaker 3 (01:04:06):
True? Everybody knows now. Yeah, but if I ever did
have any kids, I mean, at this point, all.

Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
Right line is forming outside.

Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
Yes, my next dog, how about that? Yeah, I'm gonna
If I'm gonna have two dogs, they're gonna be named
this and that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
Thing one and thing two.

Scot for news Radio eleven ten k.

Speaker 2 (01:04:32):
Fad Walking around your house, you're mad about something, I'm
sick of this, and the dog's like, I no, not
you this.

Speaker 3 (01:04:41):
I know the answer is, and that too.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
All Right, we've come here to the end of the program.
I think it's time for us to finally discuss our
feelings on the biggest story of the day. Target has
told its employees you need to be more friendly. You
need to smile people. You need to wave, You need
to otherwise use body language to have a tone of

(01:05:07):
friendliness when people are shopping in the store. If someone
gets within four feet of you, you need to greet
them and engage them in small talk. Thanks a lot
for coming in, you finding everything. How's your day going?
You got any big plans tonight? My wife hates that one.
There's another store in town, and I think they've laid

(01:05:30):
off of this a little bit because you go to
their cashiers and you're it's like towards the end of
the day, it's it's seven forty five pm. You're running
in to grab something, You're wearing your pajamas, and this
young guy working by the counter. You got any big
plans tonight?

Speaker 3 (01:05:46):
You mean that wasn't just for me?

Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
Right? Like, dude, I'm I don't have any big plans ever.
Don't you see the look on my face? This is
it This is my big plan tonight, coming in here.
Talk to you. So Target is telling their employees be
nice to people. Do you want to engage in small
talk with anyone at any time? Ever? I?

Speaker 3 (01:06:09):
Yes, I do always, Scott.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
I don't mind the friendliness here. You want to end
this start getting into it with them. Oh, I'm so
glad you asked. Let me tell you about all my problems.
