Speaker 1 (00:00):
I think the first thing that we need to mention
is this is Thanksgiving week. This is a week of
giving thanks. Matt case Is my producer. Are you thankful
for this week?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I sure am thankful for this week. I'm thankful for
a lot of things, including this week and the excitement
that's coming up. Family time, food time, couch time, football time.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Oh yeah, yeah, and uh yeah, it's just nice. It's
nice to know that you have that coming. I think
it makes this week my favorite week of the year,
just as a whole, you know, like a short work
week for us. We're only here today and tomorrow for
whatever that's worth. Right, We get Wednesday off, which is nice,
and then you know, you see family that you probably
(00:39):
aren't able to see as much anymore. You know, there's
just some homely feeling to that, just like to like,
I like feeling the simple life is kind of infiltrating
for just a couple of days if that, you know. So,
I'm excited for that. It's gonna be a good time.
And we'll talk to you about that throughout the today
and tomorrow. At least a couple of news stories that
(01:00):
we absolutely have to get to. Number one. Jack Smith's
special counsel has requested today all charges against Donald Trump,
the current president elected of the United States, be dropped
in the federal case over his alleged efforts to overturn
the twenty twenty election. In the January sixth situation, what
(01:21):
did he write, Well, he said he seeks the dismissal
while prosecutor's view of Trump's alleged crimes has not changed,
the circumstances surrounding his looming trial have. He says this
sets at odds Trump winning sets at odds too fundamental
and compelling national interests. So he also is dismissing his
appeal in Trump's classified documents case, which was also dismissed
(01:44):
earlier this year. For Donald Trump at least, and he
is going to drop his appeal, it sounds like it's over.
And of course we expect Jack Smith probably going to
just try to get the heck out of Dodge before
Donald Trump takes the oaths of office, but maybe not
these days. He says he's not necessarily seeking retribution against
the types of people. Well, Matt, I guess my question
is to you, is this like to you, I'm not
(02:06):
asking about this specific situation. I'm asking like you as
a person. Let's say, let's say I am not happy
that you have allegedly taken every last donut that was
left in the box. Yeah, every single one of them.
I'm pretty sure it was you. What gives you that idea?
It was gone. Everybody said there were donuts, and I
(02:26):
was assured they would be there by the time I
got here this afternoon, and then I show up and
they're all gone. But I found crumbs in a plate
and all sorts of napkins in your office. It had
to be you. I look into this to the point
where I'm about to call HR. I want to talk
to HR about this. Matt Case is a selfish dude,
and I don't like it that he's stealing all the
food from the people that were left here for the afternoon, allegedly. Allegedly.
(02:50):
I'm pretty sure you did. But I would have to
go through all the ring of a roll to like
make sure I had all the evidence, all my ducks
in a row, so the surveillance camera, all this stuff,
we would be I was thinking about doing this until
I recognize you were in line for a pretty substantial promotion,
and certainly the conditions of what we were talking about
(03:12):
have changed, and I say, you know what, never mind,
let's let bygones be by gones. I will no longer
pursue getting you in trouble for taking all of the
donuts from the office, even though I didn't get to
have any. So I withdraw everything that I said before.
I have given you my word. There's no more. There's
(03:32):
no more trouble coming from me. Can you look at
me the same way? Would you be trying to find
retribution to me that I've drug you through the mud
with the HR Department for a time while they were
looking for evidence. Would you see me as like an
enemy now that we've had that? Is that a recoverable thing?
Now this is much like this is Our jobs are
(03:53):
on the line potentially, But you know what, it's not
nearly as serious as what we're talking about with the
President elect. But in your heart of hearts, can you
trust either that person or the people that person works
with at their level because they tried to go after
you for something that you thought was absolutely absurd.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Now you want to know what I would do?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
What would you do?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I'd send one of my people over to your people
in secret. See okay, nobody's around, all right, and and
what would this person do? And we'd arrange a secret
meeting just between the two is of you and me. Right,
we would have a secret meeting. I'd say, first off,
I'm gonna fire you publicly, okay, but privately, I'm gonna
make you my new donut man. What and we're gonna
(04:35):
join forces and we're gonna steal donuts together. Now. See,
nobody's gonna see that coming because they're gonna think not that,
not the donut police. The donut police wouldn't be stealing
donuts now. See it's a perfect scam. Yeah, but I.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Don't have a job anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, you do.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
You work for me, now, don't you get it? You
fired me from my job and I rehired you as
my donut man. You're gonna have to be paid under
the table now and you're gonna have to be okay
with that. But it's gonna be double this. And you
know what, you and the missus are going to one
of the best vacations.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
On my dime.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I don't know, it sounds sounds risky.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
It is.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Do you think Jack Smith's gonna get hired by Donald
Trump to be one of his guys.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I think it's a savvy move, but it's got to
be done in secret.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Oh boy, I don't know. Well, people are gonna have questions.
People are gonna have questions why I got fired, because
that certainly will be asked.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I'll do it as a as a sweeping move of power, right.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
A sweeping move of power. Yeah, man, but you would,
but you would have to come out and say, this
is not retribution. No, this is a certain donuts. It
was certainly about retribution and donuts. It became about donuts
after the fact. For you. I'm going to use this
guy and the fact that I took away his job
as a way to like make him part of my
(05:50):
illegal donuts stealing ring. So no one gets donuts anymore,
just us. Yeah, at least donuts we charged double. At
least I get to eat donuts at work. Yes, anytime
you want, even though I don't have the same job anymore.
You gotta work at night now I lost all my benefits. Yeah,
we can figure that out. I don't think I want
to work for you. Yeah, I don't know. This is interesting.
(06:17):
I'll be interesting interested to see what the reaction is.
But my biggest understanding of this is, you know what,
the people who are currently in the DOJ probably are like,
you know what, maybe we did go eight nine, twelve
steps too far. And this was one of the reasons
why Donald Trump ended up winning the election under our
(06:37):
watch is because it had everything to do with him
looking like we were targeting him and people didn't like that.
Maybe we should have just stayed out of it. Maybe
it should have. It's two sixteen. We got to talk
about what's going on in the Middle East. There's some
interesting developments we'll tell you about next on news radio
eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Em Rie's songer on news radio eleven ten kfab Big.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Already beyond the Donald Trump Special counsel Jack Smith saying
Donald Trump isn't going to be charged anymore for he
isn't going to be charged anymore for the January sixth stuff,
and he's already dismissed his appeal about the records, the
classified records case that was thrown out earlier. Well, the
(07:23):
other thing that I wanted to mention was Hezbollah and Israel.
Hesbelah is the Lebanese proxy of Iran that has been
escalating things on the Lebanon side. Especially of the Israeli border,
and we were wondering what that was going to look
(07:44):
like for this and pretty much anything else in the
Middle East in between Donald Trump getting elected and Donald
Trump taking the oath of office, and it sounds like
according to a United States official who talked talked to
Axios earlier this morning, that Israel and Lebanon seem to
have agreed to terms of a ceasefire agreement to end
(08:06):
the conflict with Hesbelah. Now in Lebanon, thirty five hundred
of their people and fifth have been killed fifteen thousand injured.
They've been fighting for over a year as well. Even
though this isn't specifically directly related to what Hamas is doing,
we know these terrorist groups to be kind of working
in tandem in some ways now. According to this agreement,
(08:29):
basically it will allow a bunch of civilians who are
on either side of the border to go wherever they're
from and go home and feel like they can. The
draft agreement, as far as what we know, includes a
sixty day transition period in which the Israeli military would
be withdrawing from Lebanon, the Lebanese army would deploy in
(08:50):
areas closer to the border, and Hesbela would move the
heavier weapons to the north of the Latany River, which
would keep them out of range. In a lot of
ways of what is is up to. And they basically
started fighting the day after Hamats went into Israel and
committed those horrific crimes on October seventh, twenty twenty three.
(09:12):
The next day Hesbela fired rockets into Israel. And then
of course this year, at the beginning of October, Israel
said that they're going to just they launched a ground
invasion in Lebanon to fight Hesbela in that proxy group.
So there's so many different ways that these foreign wars
could fall, right like one way or the other way.
(09:35):
In my estimation, this is a great sign that maybe
things are slowing down and could potentially could be coming
to an end in the Israel region here, which is
good considering the escalation that we are perceiving in Ukraine
and in Russia and what the responses could be from
(09:55):
either of those places. And I'm watching more and more
people with their opinions on the matter, and I watched
this video. Some news outlet was in Ukraine and they
asked them questions like regular people on the street in
like Kiev, which is the capital, about are they fearful
for nuclear war? You know what they said? They said, No,
(10:18):
I'm not. I don't think those weapons are even operational anymore.
I don't know if they've been kept up properly now.
I don't know where they're getting that information. And I
don't know if that's just the government trying to keep
them calm. They know, they certainly know they're at war.
But it's interesting to hear kind of the reaction we
had in the United States about this, like, hey, they're
starting to they're starting to ask, like this thing to
(10:40):
a point where we might actually have to get legitimately
involved here. Most developed nations might have to get involved here.
This could be World War three. It really could be.
But in a realistic sense, if you ask, is the
Ukrainians about that, whatever information that they are being told
or whatever information that they believe, they don't have a
(11:00):
big fear of that, at least collectively, it doesn't seem like.
So I wonder what gives on how the people outside
of Ukraine are viewing this conflict and the people inside
Ukraine and Russia are viewing this conflict or a place
like Belarus or any other place that is within very
tight proximity to the stuff that's happening over there. It
(11:21):
is it is worth paying close attention to, and we
will continue to do so. But it does appear that
tomorrow our time, maybe overnight our time, but either way,
Tuesday morning in the Middle East, there will be a
meeting between officials from Lebanon and Israel, and mostly it's
about the Israeli security Cabinet approving a deal, and the
(11:42):
Cabinet for Israel will convene tomorrow and if they approve that,
then that could be the end. So it's probably the
most that we're going to hear about this until we're
back here tomorrow. And this comes just about a month
after the United States made their first assumption that they
were actually moving toward a hesbela Israel peace agreement. It's
(12:03):
taken a little longer than I think they anticipated, but
it could be on deck, and that is certainly good
news to hear. Another thing that we needed to talk
about that I wanted to just mention momentarily here, which
is local news, and it's good news. It's happy news,
and I'm just going to mention it momentarily because we'll
talk about it later on in the show. But Matt
(12:24):
Case guessing on Saturday, you were paying close attention to
football games. You guessed correctly, and it was a no
contest essentially between Wisconsin and Nebraska. Wisconsin kind of stuck
around a little longer than I think Nebraska fans were
hoping they would, but it ended up being a nice,
(12:44):
comfortable victory for the Huskers and the ability to participate
in a bowl game, which here on this short week
that we are trying not to get super duper duper
serious for two awful much, this is certainly something that
we can take our shirts off and run around like
a wild people.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I think, so yeah, any excuse to do that, just kidding,
don't call hr. But you know, in the real world
the shirt will stay on metaphorically though, Yes.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Has there ever been a season where you were more
happy to see that six win? It's never meant this much.
I don't think that's six wins.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, this is this is this is a big one.
It's cool, you know, and already it seems so quickly.
I saw some people, you know, and of course coach
Rule kind of threw some cold water on it saying
this is the last time we'll celebrate six wins. All that,
I get, all that, I get all that, but you know,
just it's kind of just that, you know, don't look well,
here's the thing, though, Let's look at it from a
(13:45):
how to stay mentally healthy perspective? Why ruminate on the past?
Why worry about the future in the present. Nebraska's going
bowling and that's a beautiful thing. They're going to get
like fifteen more practices. They've got a freshman quarterback behind center.
How about that off more running back?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I've heard this from other people too, But how wonderful
was it to see Emmitt Johnson get his run and
it looks like he looked. He's looking really good. And
Dana Holgerson's offense, that's a guy who puts it all
out on the field every time he touches them.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
You like to see that. And you have to see
Heinrich Harberg doing some work too.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
He runs forward like Emmitt Johnson, he finds And that
was a theme, right, Like they talked about that, They
talked about the running backs. Dana Holgerson mentioned the running backs.
You know, like the offensive line is making space for
you guys. You guys just have to go through that space. Yeah,
and Emmitt sure did that on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
For sure. Okay, So the latest Bull projections before I
step out here, the latest Bull projections came out yesterday.
And I don't know, like, do you have preferences on
where you'd like to see this game?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I mean you know, I'll come on, yes you do.
Everyone does.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yeah, I mean at this point though you get the
six I'm not going to be picky. That's what I'm saying, Like, Okay,
I wouldn't like it to be in Idaho, right, I
don't worry.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
About it Idaho. What about Yankee Stadium in New York City?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Though for the I know, okay, selfishly, I'm not paying
airfare to go out there. I don't have that kind
of loose change. So the the television product at Yankee Stadium,
I think that'd be super cool. But I get it
there's people listening who are saying no, please, no, because
I don't want to go there from my Bowl game.
I want to go to San Diego or to Miami.
I get that, but that's fine with me. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
The other ESPN analyst projects the Duke's Mayo Bowl Charlotte, Okay, Charlotte,
and then the winner winning coach gets dunked in a
bunch of mayo.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Oh yeah, you know who's that guy from the Titans?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
We are the title? Oh? Will Levis?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, got that commercial where he's like kissing a Mayo
jar and not a big fan of that or the
guy quite frankly, you know, like, let's keep mayonnaise out
of sports? Can we can we at least agree on
that as a society. I don't let's keep mayonnaise out
of our sporting events. They don't belong together. You put
it on a sandwich, but you're not glorifying it. It's
(16:05):
the grease on the wheels, you know what I mean? Like,
let's not make mayo such a big deal.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I don't know, we'll talk more football later on in
the show to twenty nine. Maybe we'll talk more mayo
here on news Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Emrie Songer on news Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
The you billis castle somewhere.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Oh that'd be fun. Yeah. Maybe I will be eating
some food, probably trying to watch a little football too,
have as much family time as I can, and who knows,
maybe do some other things too, like build a castle.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I spent the break after we did that looking at
the other bowl projections, and I guess the biggest thing
everybody's talking about. It's a colleg football playoff. You've been
paying attention to that.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I've been paying attention man, this weekend of college football,
not let alone pro football.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I mean, are we going to look back at this
whole weekend as one of the wildest ones ever for football?
Now that's pretty recent, you know for me to say
that maybe recency biases in there, but.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Well, well college football, this was an insane week Yeah.
And I just wanted to mention this because I was
throwing a huge fit, a huge fit, which, by the way,
CBS I before I get two off track, I wanted
to tell you CBS has Nebraska in the Rate Bowl,
which is in Arizona.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
The Rate Bowl. Yeah, okay, what are we rating?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I think it's a the mortgage company h Rate Bowl's
in Phoenix.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
It was known as the Copper Bowl, and then the
Insight dot Com Bowl, and then the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl,
and then the Cactus Bowl, and then the Cheese It Bowl,
and then the Cheese It Bowl went to a different Bowl,
which I think now is the Pop Tarts Bowl.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
And this bowl was called the Guaranteed Rate Bowl.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Oh that's exciting.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Because Guaranteed Rate is a mortgage company.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Right, the Guaranteed Rate Bowl.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
But now they just for this year and moving forward,
it's going to be called the Rate Bowl.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
It's hard to get up for that.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Not gonna lie rather go to Phoenix than New York City.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah sure, but like, could you spice up the name
a little? How can we spice up mortgage rates?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
You know, I don't think that's I don't think that's
how that works. I don't think I don't think that's
how it works. Sorry, this game last year featured with
Kansas and UNLV.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
How about the two thousand and nine Housing Crisis Bowl,
because wasn't that with mortgage rates and whatnot?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
You want to name a bowl game after a very
specific event in history. Nobody wants to remember.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
The Great Depression Bowl.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Remember, just going to pretend like you didn't just say that. Okay,
So anyway, you know who lost. Indiana lost and it
didn't look super great against Ohio State. But you want
to know something with Alabama losing an old mislosing in
the top ten. I don't know how you don't keep
Indiana in the top ten, and then you're gonna see
teams like SMU and Tennessee and whatnot jumping up into
(19:10):
the jumping up in the mix. Boise State is probably
gonna get a buye if they don't lose to UNLV
in the conference championship game. Like there's a good chance
that they'll get one of the four buys. And the
Big Twelve champion ends up having to play in the
first round on the road, probably because they've cannibalized themselves.
You see what happened in that. I always state it's
all of a sudden back in the driver's seat to
(19:31):
get back in there. The current Big Twelve championship game
projection is Arizona State and Iowa State. In your wildest imagination,
you would have told yourself that a year ago, you
would have been like, WHOA, yeah, what Arizona State was
picked to finish last in that conference. This year they're
there right now, tiebreaker the first. So there's a lot
of there's a lot still can happen. It's gonna be fun,
it's gonna be interesting. You mentioned you mentioned pro football.
(19:54):
What do you think what do you think?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I think it was. It was an interesting Sunday, Yeah,
But what stood out to you the most, Well, you
had the game against the Cowboys and the Commanders that
was pretty.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Wide that they scored a like combined something like forty
one points in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I think that spin move that guy did might have
tilted the world's axis, Like.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
We did it before anybody even got there too, which
was the best part. He did the spin move and
then like then everybody was like, whoa wait, wait, where
did that come from?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Man?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
My Chicago Bears had a wild game. Yeah, you know,
they had an on site kick recovery, came back, tied
the game, but it ended up losing it overtime. Typical
Bears are now on a five game losing streak and
might as well just fire the coach, tank the season,
get a high draft pick and call it good.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I'm just glad the Raiders kind of decided to, you know,
be bad from the start, right. Yeah, they got a
leg up on the competition.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
They're in good shape to land one of the top
prospects for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Another one of the many years. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Well, the Titans won surprisingly over the Texans in Houston,
which improves the Raiders' chances of being the number one pick.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
That's good news.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
They're only two wins. The Patriots have three wins. The
Panthers have three wins. They almost beat the Chiefs. Did
you see that?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Pretty wild? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
The Browns also beat the Steelers last Thursday, so they're
at three wins. So if you look at the NFL
standings right now, if you're thinking about like number one
draft pick considerations, the only teams that you have to
worry about are the Giants and the what are they
called the one guys? The Jaguars, that's them. So and
right now, the Jags would be the number two pick
(21:28):
and the Raiders be number one. Do you want the
number one pick? Don't you? Guys have a history of
messing that up.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
We've had it very few but the one time we
had it, you know, maybe that was an ill advised pick.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
But yeah, okay, well we'll keep you keep you posted
on that.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Ands on news radio eleven ten kfab
