1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: I'm a don Yes you are, Charlottemagne the same as truth.

2
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: Yeah Doggie Today for Friday, November, First goes to the

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: Nugget Casino Resort in Reno, Nevada, in particular the security there.

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: Here's one thing I would never understand about security. It's

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: the same thing I don't understand about law enforcement. I

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: know you have a job to do, and I respect it,

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: But why you gotta be so extra about your job

8
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: and the words of the joker? Why so serious? Why See,

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: there was a woman named Heather Venus who was a

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: regular at the Nugget Casino and Reno for the last

11
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: three years. Heather and her medical dog, Cherry, would visit

12
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: the casino at least four to five times a week.

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: She has a medical dog who is trained to alert

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: Heather if she is about to have a seizure. Let

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: me tell you how Heather describes a Nugget casino. She said,

16
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: they know who we are when we come in. They

17
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: automatically bring me water for my dog. The dog gets

18
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: free drinks at the Nugget Casino. But in Lanta News

19
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: First said what is typically a home away from home

20
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: atmosphere was quickly changed. The couple weeks ago when a

21
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: security guard approached her and told her she had to leave.

22
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: Would you like to know why she had to go?

23
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to Atlanta News first for the report. Please.

24
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: Heather Vvenis says she's been a regular at the Nugget

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: Casino in Reno for the last three years. Sometimes. Vannus

26
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: says she visits her friends four to five times a

27
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: week at the casino. Accompanying Vanus on her trips is

28
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: her medical dog, Cherry, who is trained to alert Venus

29
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: if she's about to have a seizure. What is typically

30
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: a cheers like atmosphere for Venice quickly changed two weeks

31
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: ago when a security guard approached her and told her

32
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: to leave because Cherry was not present on that day.

33
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: Venus says Cherry had just gotten fixed. Since her fiance

34
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: was with her at the casino, she felt like she

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: was safe to leave Cherry home if she had a

36
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: medical episode. Venis considered the Nugget her safe place and

37
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: adds that not being able to see her friends there

38
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: has been heartbreaking. Now all she wants is an apology

39
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: and for the Nugget to educate their staff on how

40
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: to handle others with medical dogs. The Nugget issued a

41
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: statement that says, in part, service animals are always welcome

42
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: at our property, and our team is trained to ensure

43
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: that all guests are treated with respect and in accordance

44
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: with federal and state law.

45
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: Poor Heather, she had no idea. She was the plus one.

46
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: You didn't get the hint when they were bringing your

47
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: dog free drinks, but not you. They used to bring

48
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: the dog water. Okay, all the time, we live in

49
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: a world where security trust you with your dog over

50
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: your fiance. I understand humans and not you know, reliable.

51
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty four, I get it, But Nugget Casino

52
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: cut it out. This is what I mean when I

53
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: say security takes their job too serious. You told this

54
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: woman that if the dog stayed at home, she should

55
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: have stayed at home with the dog. Let me ask

56
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: you a question. Security. Once the service dog, you know, Cherry,

57
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: does his job and alerts Heather she's about to have

58
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: a season. You do know, once the dog does that,

59
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: then humans and God have to take over. The dog

60
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: can't do anything for her after he alerts her, So

61
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: her having her fiance there is actually better. Okay. Heather

62
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: said she didn't take Cherry that day because she had

63
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: just gotten Cherry fixed and she felt like it was

64
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: safe to leave her service dog at home since she

65
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: was with her Beyonce in case she had a medical emergency.

66
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: I agree, Okay, a service animal is essential to some folks,

67
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: but just because someone has a service dog doesn't mean

68
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: they need the animal every second of the day, especially

69
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: if they have a perfectly good human with them. Remember us, Okay, okay,

70
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: I know you know, in the world the service animals

71
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: and AI we can get lost, but human lives matter,

72
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: all right. Kicking this woman, Heather out is like saying

73
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: we don't trust you to be here without your service dog,

74
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: nor do we trust that you can take care of yourself.

75
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: Your dog knows better than you do. This really feels

76
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: like y'all got y'all sensitivity training from an episode of

77
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: The Office. Okay, you got people in that casino gambling

78
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: away their life savings. You got people in that casino

79
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: drinking themselves to death. But you tell a woman without

80
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: her service dog she gotta go, That's where you draw

81
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: the line, even though she's there with her fiance. Y'all

82
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: heard the statement that the Nugget Casino released, right, well,

83
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: they said, they're fully media, fully committed the complying with

84
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: all eighty A requirements, and they welcome all guests with

85
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: disabilities who use service animals. Service animals are always welcome

86
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: at our property, and our team is trained to ensure

87
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: that all guests are treated with respect and in accordance

88
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: with federal and state laws. While we can't comment on

89
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: specific incidents, we remain dedicated to offering an exclusive environment

90
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: for all our guests. Heather, it just boils down to this.

91
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: The Nugget Casino likes your dog more than you. Okay.

92
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: Cherry is the invited guests, Okay, and you are a

93
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: plus one. In fact, they think you are Cherry service human.

94
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: That's the only explanation. Okay. They don't care about you

95
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: all your disability. They care about the dog and the

96
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: irony of this story, at least to me. If the

97
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: older I get and the more I get to know

98
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: people and hear stories like this, the more I realize

99
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: why Noah only allowed animals on the arc. Please give

100
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: the Nugget Casino resort the biggest he hull. That's so backwards,

101
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: cool world. Normally people have issues with the service animal,

102
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: not the people. The world Donkey Today is sponsored by
