Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tomorrow. Late afternoon is most likely when we could have
severe weather. It's a thirty percent chance of rain after
one pm tomorrow, and some of that could be severe
talking high winds, talking hail, not talking tornadoes right now.
That's good so and it's more in the isolated variety.
(00:21):
They have scaled systems here, you know, and that's kind
of what we're looking at. But we'll see. You know,
that forecast can fine tune itself between now and then.
But last checked it was kind of late afternoon four
or five ish that things could get a little hairy
if they do. Thirty percent chance, so there's no guarantee.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
All right, Well, you know I can guarantee say you
and me will be here tomorrow to break it down
if it does happen.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I yes, guarantee that we certainly have that as a
stated plan. Who knows, I could fall into my refrigerator
and sprain my nose and have to call in sick.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
But would you do that if that, if that theoretical
hypothetical situation were to occur, would you call in sick
for that? If I sprained my nose by falling into
the refrigerator, it would.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Have to be a pretty bad sprain. I've never sprained
my nose. I'm not here to judge you. But if
I found that out, that that's what happened to you. Yeah,
and then I found out you also called in sick
for that right, and you weren't in the hospital, I
probably I wouldn't be able to look at you.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
The same way. Let's just throw that out there.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I think that's fair. I don't know if I would
be able to either, But then I'd have a big
old bandage on my nose, so I wasn't looking at
myself the same way. So I suppose the joke's on me.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
You're looking forward to the college basketball crown, I am.
I thought you'd lead off with that. This is big deal.
Nebraska's back at it working for that crown. It's a
big deal.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
The first game actually is going on? Can we check
it out? Is? Yeah, it's a Utah and Butler. I think,
oh man, it would be on FS one or Fox.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
So that's where all the mid majors went. They skipped
out on the tournament. They went right to the crowd.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Are you calling Utah and Butler mid majors?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Utah will always be a mid major in my heart.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
That doesn't make any sense. It always will be. They're
a state school, Andrew Bogan mid major. That's not what
they were in the whack for a while? Is that?
Is that what you're doing? You're like, oh, you they're
just in the whack? Yeah, remember that, Well that's whack.
Remember they remember when they are in the whack? Are
you comparing them like an urban myers utes? Are you
telling me?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
They were small at the time because college football was
even more how do we put it? College football is
even more? Uh, you had to be like the big
dogs in order to compete even more so than now.
You know, how does that? How does that work? Where
is this? Where's this channel? And you went to judge
mathis what's going on? I'm trying to figure out where
the channel is. I thought we had this. Do we
(02:44):
not have this? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
We do?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
There it is all right? There we go, all right,
Utah and Butler, there you go after that, George Washington.
Now there's a mid major against Boise State, who I
guess you could also call kind of a large mid major.
And then the Husk the Skurr not the Husk, the
skur How big of a deal? How big of a deal.
(03:07):
Is this play Arizona State, another power conference team technically
this tournament? I can I be candid. This is an
absolute abomination, abomination, an abomination like the Snowman, the abominable Snowman. Yeah,
except that guy like a YETI like that that to me,
that that that's a monster. This is abominable in the way.
(03:28):
It's just like I can't believe my eyes are saying this.
It's a fart in the wind, that's what you're saying.
I really think that this is an absolute joke of
of proportions that I have not seen in a while.
And if you put it in context and hear me
out on this, if you put this into context the
college Basketball Crown, which Nebraska gets to play in, and
(03:48):
I'm not mad about that, but you put this into
context of like everybody gets a bowl game in college football,
and especially now that we realize that the bowl games
mean absolutely nothing they Jack Squatt.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah, we're murdering pop tarts in our bowls. I actually
like that.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
That one makes sense to me because at least there's
like some cannon involved in some storytelling, and there's something
greater than just the football that's being played. Because honestly,
cam Ward set out the entire second half of the
Pop Tarts Bowl this year, and it was a competitive
game between two top fifteen teams. Made me really feel like, Okay,
this really is a massive joke. That's what this is.
(04:27):
The fact that any of these teams, the sixteen teams
that are playing in this thing, even have guys that
are willing to play in it is a real testament
to just the fact that people seem to give a hoot.
You know, the Arizona state record this year I looked
at that was it thirteen and seventeen, thirteen and nineteen,
thirteen and nineteen they finished four and sixteen in the
(04:50):
Big Twelve.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Now, if you go thirteen of nineteen from the floor,
that's a good shooting night.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, that's a great shooting night. But thirteen of what
thirty two is what they went. They had played thirty
two games and only one thirteen. They finished second to
last in the Big Twelve this year, and they're playing
for the College Basketball Crown. Baby Wow, who finished worse
than him? Pop quiz who was the last place team
in the Big twelve? Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
In the Big twelve?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Worst team?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Who's in the Big twelve these days.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Sacramento State, no wrong, Colorado finished last. It was the Buffs,
and you'd be like, well, at least they didn't get in. Ha,
You'd be wrong. They're also in the basketball Crown. Can
you believe this? So Nebraska? Fun fact, Nebraska missed the
Big Ten Tournament in basketball. They lost enough at the
(05:41):
end of the season that they lost their way out
of playing it. They also last five games missed the
Big Ten Tournament. They were part of a five way
tie for the last spots in the Big Ten Tournament.
A part of that tie and getting into the tournament
was usc they're in this too. You might be wondering, Okay, well,
who else is in this thing from the Big Ten? Well,
(06:02):
the answer is nobody. Those are the only two. I
think the Power Conference teams all have to send at
least two teams. And you just keep going down the
list until somebody says yes. And if you say, like,
if everybody just says we will not play in this,
then what do you don't I don't really know. I
don't even really know what the answer to that is.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
You know what, each college basketball fan needs a heaping
helping of. Right now?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
What we're expectation. Wow, yeah, fantastic. And this is at
the same moment where the four number one seeds made
it to the Final four in the men's college basketball Tournament,
which I don't think is very great. And we could
(06:45):
talk about all the great teams that were involved in
the Elite eight. Well, only one of the four games
was actually any good? Remember that. Yeah, and at least
there's not we had there was a chance there was
going to be an all SEC final four.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Can you imagine?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
But it's all fine bomb would Oh, I don't want
to hear it in the hospital.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Oh, which four eyes? Baldy? Who I mean he you know,
he looks like dB Cooper if dB Cooper was an
absolute like nerd, I forgot you hated Paul Fine, b
I hate that guy?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Did it again?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
What an idiot? I mean, he hasn't gone and seen
somebody to groom him. Despite being on national television for
the last handful of years, nobody's gone to Paul and said, Paul,
you look like an absolute joke. Maybe you wear a mask,
maybe like get the get the eyebrows like trimmed up
or something. Maybe get a hair piece, maybe go fully bald.
You look like you're some sort of caricature of what
(07:36):
the South is and everybody hates you.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I heard this on X. Is any truth to the
rumor that the hair on top of his head is
just ear hair that he combs over?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Now see, I could believe that that's the kind of
guy we're talking about here. So Paul finebumb can go
take a hike. And we're lucky enough that there's no
chance for an all SEC championship game because that means
the two SEC teams Florida and Auburn plate each other
in the final four, and then it's Duke and Houston
on the other side. What we are we rooting for anything?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
There?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I like Duke.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I know a lot of people don't, but I always
have Cooper flag.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, I think it's I think it's a cool moment
for the for the league's best player. Let's see if
he can get to the chip, you know. Yeah, I
think I kind of want Houston.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I want I kind of want Houston just because it's
they They've had a ton of success lately with Kelvin Sampson,
but have never won it. Like, they haven't won the
title with Kelvin Sampson and it'd be cool Forkevin to
get his too. Yeah, he's never got one, despite a
lot of success all over the country. So what Oklahoma, Indiana,
and now he's trying to do it at Houston, and
Houston's like the most unassuming of all three of those brands,
(08:40):
So like like like Houston win one here. Yeah, let's
see if we can do that. All right, enough basketball talk,
we might talk more about it because the Huskers play
tonight again. Big deal, little little deal. You're trying to
watch this thing. You're gonna pay attention to this thing?
Do you care at all?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I feel like it's more fun to make it a
really big deal.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
So you and me, should we make it a big deal?
Like that stick?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I feel like that's the stick to be right now,
because if you think about it, it's called the college
basketball crown, which an objective observer who's not really familiar
with the sport could say that sounds like a big deal.
And then you look at all the teams and like
three fourths of them have losing records and probably have
like two people playing for him because the rest are
in the trials.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I was gonna say, I'd like to know the trains
for a portal rate of these teams that are playing.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
And they got the mascot and somehow the pop dart
out there playing in the start in five you know, the.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Pop tarts that didn't get fried alive. Right, he's out
there suiting up, which, by the way, I don't know why,
but Loyol Chicago had the pop tart that got fried
alive was apparently back alive or something. I don't know,
maybe maybe it was a different pop tart, but there
was a pop tart running around at a Loyol Chicago game,
you know, a couple of weeks ago, and I was like,
you know what, I could just just bring the pop
tarts everywhere. Yeah, I don't care that it's commercial. Everything's
(09:50):
more fun with the pop tarts around. So let's get
some pop tarts there.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I hope it ups the ante that other bulls take
after the pop tart and maybe you have like Jimmy
Dean Sausage out there with like sausage and bacon going
to war at halftime, you know something like that.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, I'm in for that. They sign me up anyway.
Huskers Arizona State College Basketball Crown seven thirty Nebraska Time
tonight made the team that sucks less. When to eighteen
News ready oo Evanton kfab and Rai's longer. We talked
about this and it's been kind of ingest Donald Trump
(10:24):
in a potential third term and that would require the
twenty second Amendment. His quote essentially was, I've had more
people ask me to have a third term, and then
he kind of does the roundabout thing where which in
a way is a fourth term because the twenty twenty
election was totally rigged. There are people behind him in
the shot that are like snickering, and it's kind of
(10:47):
like easy, guys, don't let everybody in on the fact
that this is all kind of just a big stick
for you guys. And if you watch the video, Trump
kind of has this smirk on his face as he's
talking about it, but he says, I mean, this is
really Donald Trump again, toying with his opposition in the media.
And I don't know when people are finally going to
(11:08):
catch on to this, that this guy just likes to
stir the pot. And there's not many people that could
get away with it like this. But here are a
few things we've talked tariffs, and tariffs are supposed to
go into effect on Wednesday. I'll be honest with you,
I don't feel like talking about it until it actually happens,
because I've talked about it a lot before. It was
supposed to happen in February, and then guess what happened.
It didn't actually happen. So then they said it in
(11:29):
the thirty days, it's going to happen, and it was
going to be early March, it's going to happen, and
so I talked about it a lot of early March,
and then guess what happened. It didn't happen. So why
should I talk about tariffs now without knowing which ones
are actually going to happen and which one's going to
stick or we're going to get another delay because we're
going to be willing to talk to each other. Remember,
we've had all sorts of different conversations with these countries,
(11:50):
and it sounds like, after a little bit of war
of words last week between Mark Kearney and Donald Trump,
that maybe there's some good commentations there in Trump's tone
change a little bit. But that's just one country. He's
talking about all these other countries and everything. I just want,
what point is the line the line like, Okay, this
(12:14):
is gonna happen. This isn't gonna happen. This is all talk.
And how am I supposed to talk about this stuff
when I don't know if any of it is at
all true or what the the greater plan is. I
feel kind of dumb just like talking about this stuff,
and it's just kind of a joke. There's no way
he's thinking about overruling the twenty second Amendment seventy days
into his second term. That's and you can see what
(12:34):
the faces on the guys behind him when that question
was asked. They're all just kind of like, you know,
just kind of like trying to hide their smiles behind
I mean, they're toying with us. This is my livelihood.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
What am I.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Supposed to do?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
I don't know, you know, it's kind of like bowling
with the big Lebowski. Nobody knows where the line is.
Oh that's a good point, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I just say that's just my personal instincts here. If
he is still in good health and standing by the
end of this term, you don't think he's going to
try to run it back. No, you really don't think so. Well,
I mean, I reserve the right to like change my
mind when we get closer. You know, the idea that
we're talking about this three and a half years before
it would actually happen seems kind of stupid. But you
know what, people are talking about it, So let's talk
about it. You want to talk about it, let's talk
(13:15):
about it. Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
You can't tell me that you're a good, upstanding Republican
conservative and then be totally okay with anyone saying I'm
overruling or repealing the twenty second Amendment just because I
like this one politician, right, Okay, So does that mean
in twenty twenty eight if you repeal that that Barack
Obama's going to try to run for sure? I mean, like,
wouldn't that happen. Let's do let's do Trump Obama, let's
(13:39):
do this. I don't think that's a good idea. I
don't think that's going to do for anyone, especially America. So,
you know, no disrespected Barack Obama or Donald Trump or
anybody who's done their service to the United States of America.
But why don't we try to build new candidates, you know,
for the future of America? Because no disrespect also to
the mortality of human people Homo sapiens. But at some
(14:02):
point Donald Trump will no longer be alive, Okay, And
I kind of like the idea of investing into the
future of the parties, both of them. I think it's
good to have two healthy parties. Now, you see Gavin Newsom,
he's going on his little tour of trying to like
clean himself up and move towards the middle a little
bit and have people see him more as a moderate liberal. Hey,
(14:22):
forget all the stuff that I've done in California. Hey
forget about all the wildfire stuff. Hey, forget about all
and mismanagement stuff. Just look how nice my hair is,
and that I'm a decently charismatic person. He's actually a
very charismatic person. That's what he's like. Hey, I'm a
reasonable guy. I talked to all these Republicans. Look at me,
go him, Josh Shapiro. If they elevate somebody else, like
(14:43):
a like you, a couple of young lefty liberal types
wouldn't be awful for the balance of their party, but
they would never win. But you know, like seeing some
new blood people that are under the age of sixty
and the Democratic Party pop up and have a real
shot to just like move forward and like take that
party into a different area. Okay, fine, for the Republicans,
(15:07):
you know what their field could look like in twenty
eight if Donald Trump just as I think he will
leave well enough alone and get the next generation ready,
you know the names that we're gonna be looking at. Well,
Number one obviously pop quiz jd Vance? All right, you
know Dold J. D Vance's right now?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Was he like forty four?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
He's forty he'd be like forty three when this election
would be going on. He'd be among the youngest presidents
of all time. You don't want to know who else
would be on the list. I think Elise Staphonic. I
think she's a person you have to watch. You know
how old Elease is. She's forty. Wow, she'd be forty
three or so as this process was going on in
a few years. You want to who else? I think
(15:45):
you need to keep an eye on. Do not rule
out Tulsi Gabbard, Tulsie, if she can elevate herself from
the intelligence aspect of things, she could be in the mix.
You know how old Tulsi is forty seven, forty three,
she'd be forty six or so when all this was
stuff would be going on, and she's already run for
president before, there's gonna be some extra ability for her there.
(16:06):
Who else I think would be in the mix. Somebody
like Marco Rubio, who's fifty three years old. He's still
young by political standards, He's run for president before, and
as Secretary of State, he's going to have a chance
to really get himself elevated to another level there. He
could be the oldest one in this group, because the
last guy I think could get back in is a
guy who's going to be term limited when it comes
(16:28):
to his governorship is Ron DeSantis. Ron de Santis won't
be fifty years old when this is all happening. So
my point is, you're going to have at least a
good handful of really great people who are under the
age of sixty from the Republican Party that you can
start leaning into to try to help continue to build
the momentum that you're getting here. It would make absolutely
no sense for the Republican Party to be like, oh, yeah,
(16:50):
let's just stick with this guy because he's a great leader. Okay,
let's first of all, let's try to get a little
deeper into this term and see what happens. But you're
going to have a pretty good bench to rely on
for whatever I mean. And this doesn't who's to say
somebody else doesn't kind of pop up. Let's say somebody
in Congress decides, Hey, you know what, I'm actually good.
(17:11):
I feel like I'm elevating myself enough to where i
could throw my hat in the ring. You can't rule
any of that stuff out. I think it's time where
the Republicans have never been in a better spot with good, young,
relatively young leadership across the board. And that's governors around
the country, that is people in Washington, d C. House
of Representatives, in the Senate, people who are in an
(17:32):
administration who have already run for president. You have to
be excited about the people that you have here. At
some point you're gonna have to make sure that those
people get elevated to take us into the future. That's
what I'm saying. So, no, I don't think that it'd
be good for anybody to be like, oh, yeah, let's
repeal the twenty second Amendment and open up that entire
can of worms. Gotcha anyway, Let's open the phones if
you've got thoughts on this, I'd love to hear from you.
(17:53):
Four ROH two five five eight eleven ten is the number.
Four H two five five eight eleven ten. Two twenty
eight is the time on news radio eleven ten. Kre
you Songer. You can find an entire omnibus of my
four interviews with the candidates on our podcast page. Just
go to the Emery Songer podcast page. I shared it
on my social media as well, so you can find
it there. Click on it and take a listen and enjoy.
(18:15):
For tomorrow's primary, yeah, exactly, It's a world backup Day today,
and World backup Day is basically just, hey, you need
to back up your data kind of thing, you know,
like make sure that you don't have everything just in
one place and it could get like hacked into or
destroyed forever. Make sure that you have all sorts of
stuff backed up and make sure that you know you're
(18:35):
not totally screwed if something goes wrong. Made me think, though,
who are some of the great backups of all time?
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Talk about that, guys, say briefly, smart placement of that
holiday because tomorrow's April Fools and who knows somebody might
play a prank on you and delete some of your files.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah, there you go, are right, so woo, I got
an idea, Well we'll save it, We'll go. I got
some emails and a call. I want to get to here.
If you missed what we just talked about. Donald Trump
just kind of, you know, playfully equipped. I think it
was playful of him saying that he would have no
(19:10):
problem potentially thinking about running for a third term. Again,
this is we're so far away that this is kind
of just a moot point. But one thing that we
do know is that he couldn't based on the current
constitutional rules, he could not be a candidate for president
in twenty twenty eight. But that's not stopping some people from,
you know, kind of playing around with this. And whether
(19:32):
it's a joke or not, it's something worth talking about.
I'd rather talk about this than you know, a lot
of the other stuff that we could talk about. But
that's kind of what we do on a talk show.
Let's talk about what's sensational. Let's talk about stuff and
maybe we can disagree on and have some debates on.
That's what we want on the phones. We got Jim
four two, five, five, eight, eleven, ten is the number.
Jim's on the line. Jim, welcome to the show today.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
What do you think, Hey, thanks for taking my call. Yeah, well,
what do I think? Well? I think when we talk
about something is important as US governor and ourselves, I
think it's more. It's got to be more than just
a joke. You know, my fellow of yours and my
fellow Americans, would think about what's been going on for decades,
(20:15):
in the last ten decades of our history. And I'm
just talking about the last ten decades, not even be
We're like a frog in boiling water. Turn up the
heat a little bit and we're gonna boil you. Here's
the reason why I say that our federal government, and
you brought up the two party system again in your
explanation of all that our federal government with the two
party system that our first president warned us about, and
(20:38):
that James Madison and Federals number ten warned us about factions.
Which of our party systems are factions? We didn't heed
the warning. We've been taking a dish ever since the
adoption of the Constitution United States, ever since ratification. Is
just boy, we're like boiling frogs. Here's the deal. We
(20:59):
have an individual right now who's in the White House,
who showed us how the establishment for decades has been
ruling over us. I've told you before, we're self government
by representation, not representation ruling over self government, which we've
turned into. Okay, so they establishment do whatever they want.
We don't even pay attention to them. And then we
wonder why are we in the position we're in. Well,
(21:20):
that's why, because you're not self governing yourselves. Okay, Okay,
Now here's my point. We have a guy in the
White House might be joking around about all this, but
how about if we look around the country. I don't
care if it's a Republican or a Democrat, look around
the country who understands how they are going to represent
us with the constitution and elect damn that's the president
(21:41):
where they're going to take care of the establishment like
Trump did. Now, Trump's got the right ideas, but he
ain't completely right about everything that he does, because I
still don't think he understands the he understands the the
second the second article, that's his article. Article two is
(22:03):
his article. Okay, if you understand what you're supposed to
be doing as the executive of the executive branch. Then
I have no problem with that. But you're not showing
me that you do.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
You may be ask some questions around you, the people
that you hire around you in your cabinet, right, but
they ain't any better than you, right. I mean, I
don't really know how much of a percentage of three
hundred and thirty million of us even understand the Constitution.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
So I don't know what else to tell you, Henry.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yeah, it's an interesting conversation, Jim, and I appreciate you
giving us your thoughts on it today, appreciate you calling
it well.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yeah. So yeah, I think I think the best way
to just kind of like piggyback off of what he
was just saying there is I mean, we can talk
about the Constitution, the twenty second Amendment all we want,
but I mean there's going to be people out there
that like Trump enough to where they like him more
than they care about what the Constitution is. So they'd
rather have him around than him just never be around anymore.
(22:59):
And I guess that's I guess that's I don't know
how to reason with people. Like that, because you can't
then say that you're afraid of what the Democrats are
going to do to the American government in the Constitution,
because you'd be okay with Donald Trump and his current
administration working to repeal an amendment just to give themselves
more power. Donald Trump, By the way, pop quiz how
(23:22):
many executives? And this doesn't count the last few days.
But Donald Trump posted something on his truth social which
was he didn't make this, but he's sharing it from
somebody else. It looks like the White House actually shared this.
And it's the executive order signed in the first sixty
seven days in office. How many executive orders did Donald
Trump sign in the first sixty seven days?
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Two hundred and sixty seven.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Okay, that's a lot. You did it again, I don't know,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
You know, they could be the parameters off Mike, just
say keep it between here and here. How about I
we'll say sixty.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Two sixty There we go, good job. No, it's one
hundred and seven, one hundred and seven in the first
sixty seven days. It's a lot. It's getting telling his
elbow sign in his arm sign, his autographic sign in
his arm. Boy, So if you're wondering, Joe Biden had
less than forty at this point in his first term.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
And Donald Trump seems to be very proud of this.
A lot of people are saying this is great. Now,
you could say that this is warp speed. You can
say that this is good to try to get things done.
But if you are a fan of government and the
way it was constructed by our founding fathers, with checks
and balances, with the legislative branch, with the executive branch
and the judicial branch all kind of watching each other
and overseeing each other before anything crazy happens, how do
(24:34):
you feel about a president, no matter what their background is,
signing over twice as many executive voters in their first
sixty seven days then any other president in American history. Now,
there are some great presidents that have done a lot
of executive orders. Teddy Roosevelt is the first that really
comes to mind. And if you're a fan of what
FDR do, which I know not many people are these days.
You know, we have a lot of you know, revisionist
(24:55):
history about some of the stuff or how it aged.
But I know he was in office for like twelve years,
but he's signed a ton of executive voters. Also, it
just kind of depends on the guy about how much
they want to take that power into their hands. And
Donald Trump has signed more executive voters in his first
sixty seven days in this term than any other president
in American history, which I mean it says something about
how much he is like I'm taking the bull by
(25:18):
the horns this time, and nothing's going to get in
my way. And again, you can't be talking about you're
afraid of what the left is going to do. You
can't be talking about I'm afraid of what Democrats are
going to do if they get elected. They're going to
try to have a dictatorship over our country and they're
trying to change what our government is. But we have
a guy in the office right now, and we may
like him, we may like what the policies are and
(25:38):
all that stuff, but he's doing the exact same thing
that you would be going crazy for if somebody on
the other side was doing. That's all I'm saying, just
the insinuation to repeal an amendment of the Constitution, just
the idea of breaking records and touting breaking records of
executive action, which essentially is usurping the legislation or is
an attempt to get Congress kind of gipped in that process. Now,
(26:01):
Congress also has to do some stuff for a lot
of this stuff to become law, But the executive orders
nobody signed more in the first couple of months. So
am I saying it's all negative. No, I'm just saying
that we need to be consistent with our critiques of
our government, That's all I'm saying. And if a Democrat
was talking about maybe running for a third term in office,
if imagine if Obama said something like this head of
(26:22):
the twenty sixteen election, could you imagine, and then you
look at you know, how Donald Trump was talking about
doing something very similar. Hey, I'm going to try to
maybe say an office for a third year. Even if
I think it was a joke, I think it was playful.
I don't think it was really that serious, especially this early.
Then I think we need to, you know, just be
consistent with the energy and say, eh, you know, it's
(26:42):
a funny joke, but that's not something that we should
be looking for here. Let's get the next generation ready.
Let's not only use the pen of the executive order
to try to achieve things. We have great people in Congress.
Let's go through and really legislate this stuff. Make it
stick so the next president can't just go in there
and undo a bunch of this stuff. That would be
what my plan would be if I was kind of
(27:03):
in the ear of the current administration. But that's just me.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
As as a fine student of behavior. I see the
sixty seven seven days, the sixty seven executive orders, one
hundred and seven, one hundred and seven. Yeah, I think
I guess sixty seven you did see. I have no
frame anyway, you see thee hundred and seven, I see
the one hundred and seven, and I see that he's
proud of it. Yeah, you'd like him to be like
I wish I didn't have to do this, but right,
(27:27):
even right, So it's the behavior thing. It's the behavior
thing that does Actually, if you're making two pools here
of it, was he joking or does this guy literally
want to become the emperor of America? That goes in
the pot of this guy literally wants to become the
emperor of America. It does. So he does that.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Even if he's not, the opposition will have that angle.
Now the opposition can use that angle and say that
is something like you said, he is doing this, Like
look at what he's doing. He's he's doing all this
stuff that you said you should be afraid of. If
the Democrats did it, you can do that. But if
it's policy that you like or it's things that you
agree with, you're just like, oh, it's not that big
(28:05):
a deal, and it's like, Eh, that's not consistent messaging.
If it was the other side, you'd be saying, these
people are trying to change the style of our government.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I think Donald does want to become the emperor of America.
Just like the greatest basketball player out there wants to
play all forty eight minutes of the entire game.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
He doesn't trust anybody else to get it done right
fair enough. I do disagree with that either. I also
think that, you know, the United States government has always
been about checks, balances and team Even if you have
a bunch of people who disagree with you, it's supposed
to be a full team effort with representation across all
fifty states. And I'm hopeful that we don't lose that
(28:45):
messaging while we're in this warp speed that Donald Trump.
Jd vance Elon Musk and all these guys are saying
is so great. You've seen it with Doge. We've had
to rehire a lot of the people that were initially
fired and a bunch of different things for a bunch
of whether it's a judge intervening or something was you know, overlooked,
or people were doing important research about the bird flu
(29:07):
and needed to be brought back. We need to just,
I think, take our time a little bit on some
of this stuff got to hit a break. It's two
forty nine good stuff on news radio eleven ten Kfab
and Rie's songer on news radio eleven ten Kfab playing
troll and he's nobody's not it better than him? You know,
do you know, can you think of any politician or
even a high profile person that is so actively enjoyed
(29:31):
the haters to the point where he's just constantly just
giving them ammunition to use to hate him with, Like
I can't think of anybody in any because in most
industries you want people to like you. I mean, the
only thing I can compete with that I think are
wrestling heels like bad guys in wrestling who that's their
job is to do everything they can to make you
(29:51):
dislike them, but at the end of the day, that's
still a performance more than it is like actual real life.
Donald Trump, I think truly enjoys this part of politics
where he can say anything and know he's going to
generate a reaction, especially from the opposition.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
It just makes me wonder when someone from the left
is going to take the same tactics and flip it around.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Well. I think I think a lot of people are like,
we talked about Jasmine, what's your face? Oh sure, Jasmine
Crockett from Texas Crockett. That's her name, Jasmine Crockett. She's
kind of doing the she's like the colorful language response.
I mean, she's the younger person, but she's like she's
trying to do what she can to, you know, get noticed.
And she has no problem, you know, going at it
(30:33):
with Marjorie Taylor Green or some of the other Republicans
and insulting them or using bad words that we couldn't
even air on our radio show. And I think that
might be the next thing. You know, you have people
like AOC who are pretty demonstrative, but they just kind
of look and sound crazy to a normal person. You
have to have a person that looks and sounds like
a Gavin Newsom or a Josh Shapiro, who are charismatic,
(30:56):
but they're not over the top, and they look or
sound like people that we know in our everyday lives
and have them all of a sudden start throwing like
grenades that direction. And honestly, that's got to be the
only way that you're gonna get to that point, and
you're gonna have to wait for Trump to kind of exit, right.
There's just not really space for that kind of person
to win that game against him.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Trump talks so well to the populace of his base.
I just think you need to find that on the left. Yeah,
but what is the base on the left?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I feel like there's a bunch of different sectors of people, like,
we can't win general election unless we're in the middle.
But then all of the youth in that party want
to go as far left and as radical as possible,
and there's just there's a big discrepancy I think, across
the entire spectrum in that party, and they have to
answer a lot of questions and develop candidates sooner rather
than later if they're gonna have any chance in twenty eight.
(31:48):
More on the Way Coming up on Emory Emory Songer
with You Coming up on News Radio eleventh and KFAB
Tomorrow. Late afternoon is most likely when we could have
severe weather. It's a thirty percent chance of rain after
one pm tomorrow, and some of that could be severe
talking high winds, talking hail, not talking tornadoes right now.
That's good so and it's more in the isolated variety.
(00:21):
They have scaled systems here, you know, and that's kind
of what we're looking at. But we'll see. You know,
that forecast can fine tune itself between now and then.
But last checked it was kind of late afternoon four
or five ish that things could get a little hairy
if they do. Thirty percent chance, so there's no guarantee.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
All right, Well, you know I can guarantee say you
and me will be here tomorrow to break it down
if it does happen.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I yes, guarantee that we certainly have that as a
stated plan. Who knows, I could fall into my refrigerator
and sprain my nose and have to call in sick.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
But would you do that if that, if that theoretical
hypothetical situation were to occur, would you call in sick
for that? If I sprained my nose by falling into
the refrigerator, it would.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Have to be a pretty bad sprain. I've never sprained
my nose. I'm not here to judge you. But if
I found that out, that that's what happened to you. Yeah,
and then I found out you also called in sick
for that right, and you weren't in the hospital, I
probably I wouldn't be able to look at you.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
The same way. Let's just throw that out there.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I think that's fair. I don't know if I would
be able to either, But then I'd have a big
old bandage on my nose, so I wasn't looking at
myself the same way. So I suppose the joke's on me.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
You're looking forward to the college basketball crown, I am.
I thought you'd lead off with that. This is big deal.
Nebraska's back at it working for that crown. It's a
big deal.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
The first game actually is going on? Can we check
it out? Is? Yeah, it's a Utah and Butler. I think,
oh man, it would be on FS one or Fox.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
So that's where all the mid majors went. They skipped
out on the tournament. They went right to the crowd.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Are you calling Utah and Butler mid majors?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Utah will always be a mid major in my heart.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
That doesn't make any sense. It always will be. They're
a state school, Andrew Bogan mid major. That's not what
they were in the whack for a while? Is that?
Is that what you're doing? You're like, oh, you they're
just in the whack? Yeah, remember that, Well that's whack.
Remember they remember when they are in the whack? Are
you comparing them like an urban myers utes? Are you
telling me?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
They were small at the time because college football was
even more how do we put it? College football is
even more? Uh, you had to be like the big
dogs in order to compete even more so than now.
You know, how does that? How does that work? Where
is this? Where's this channel? And you went to judge
mathis what's going on? I'm trying to figure out where
the channel is. I thought we had this. Do we
(02:44):
not have this? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
We do?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
There it is all right? There we go, all right,
Utah and Butler, there you go after that, George Washington.
Now there's a mid major against Boise State, who I
guess you could also call kind of a large mid major.
And then the Husk the Skurr not the Husk, the
skur How big of a deal? How big of a deal.
(03:07):
Is this play Arizona State, another power conference team technically
this tournament? I can I be candid. This is an
absolute abomination, abomination, an abomination like the Snowman, the abominable Snowman. Yeah,
except that guy like a YETI like that that to me,
that that that's a monster. This is abominable in the way.
(03:28):
It's just like I can't believe my eyes are saying this.
It's a fart in the wind, that's what you're saying.
I really think that this is an absolute joke of
of proportions that I have not seen in a while.
And if you put it in context and hear me
out on this, if you put this into context the
college Basketball Crown, which Nebraska gets to play in, and
(03:48):
I'm not mad about that, but you put this into
context of like everybody gets a bowl game in college football,
and especially now that we realize that the bowl games
mean absolutely nothing they Jack Squatt.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah, we're murdering pop tarts in our bowls. I actually
like that.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
That one makes sense to me because at least there's
like some cannon involved in some storytelling, and there's something
greater than just the football that's being played. Because honestly,
cam Ward set out the entire second half of the
Pop Tarts Bowl this year, and it was a competitive
game between two top fifteen teams. Made me really feel like, Okay,
this really is a massive joke. That's what this is.
(04:27):
The fact that any of these teams, the sixteen teams
that are playing in this thing, even have guys that
are willing to play in it is a real testament
to just the fact that people seem to give a hoot.
You know, the Arizona state record this year I looked
at that was it thirteen and seventeen, thirteen and nineteen,
thirteen and nineteen they finished four and sixteen in the
(04:50):
Big Twelve.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Now, if you go thirteen of nineteen from the floor,
that's a good shooting night.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, that's a great shooting night. But thirteen of what
thirty two is what they went. They had played thirty
two games and only one thirteen. They finished second to
last in the Big Twelve this year, and they're playing
for the College Basketball Crown. Baby Wow, who finished worse
than him? Pop quiz who was the last place team
in the Big twelve? Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
In the Big twelve?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Worst team?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Who's in the Big twelve these days.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Sacramento State, no wrong, Colorado finished last. It was the Buffs,
and you'd be like, well, at least they didn't get in. Ha,
You'd be wrong. They're also in the basketball Crown. Can
you believe this? So Nebraska? Fun fact, Nebraska missed the
Big Ten Tournament in basketball. They lost enough at the
(05:41):
end of the season that they lost their way out
of playing it. They also last five games missed the
Big Ten Tournament. They were part of a five way
tie for the last spots in the Big Ten Tournament.
A part of that tie and getting into the tournament
was usc they're in this too. You might be wondering, Okay, well,
who else is in this thing from the Big Ten? Well,
(06:02):
the answer is nobody. Those are the only two. I
think the Power Conference teams all have to send at
least two teams. And you just keep going down the
list until somebody says yes. And if you say, like,
if everybody just says we will not play in this,
then what do you don't I don't really know. I
don't even really know what the answer to that is.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
You know what, each college basketball fan needs a heaping
helping of. Right now?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
What we're expectation. Wow, yeah, fantastic. And this is at
the same moment where the four number one seeds made
it to the Final four in the men's college basketball Tournament,
which I don't think is very great. And we could
(06:45):
talk about all the great teams that were involved in
the Elite eight. Well, only one of the four games
was actually any good? Remember that. Yeah, and at least
there's not we had there was a chance there was
going to be an all SEC final four.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Can you imagine?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
But it's all fine bomb would Oh, I don't want
to hear it in the hospital.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Oh, which four eyes? Baldy? Who I mean he you know,
he looks like dB Cooper if dB Cooper was an
absolute like nerd, I forgot you hated Paul Fine, b
I hate that guy?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Did it again?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
What an idiot? I mean, he hasn't gone and seen
somebody to groom him. Despite being on national television for
the last handful of years, nobody's gone to Paul and said, Paul,
you look like an absolute joke. Maybe you wear a mask,
maybe like get the get the eyebrows like trimmed up
or something. Maybe get a hair piece, maybe go fully bald.
You look like you're some sort of caricature of what
(07:36):
the South is and everybody hates you.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I heard this on X. Is any truth to the
rumor that the hair on top of his head is
just ear hair that he combs over?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Now see, I could believe that that's the kind of
guy we're talking about here. So Paul finebumb can go
take a hike. And we're lucky enough that there's no
chance for an all SEC championship game because that means
the two SEC teams Florida and Auburn plate each other
in the final four, and then it's Duke and Houston
on the other side. What we are we rooting for anything?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
There?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I like Duke.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I know a lot of people don't, but I always
have Cooper flag.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, I think it's I think it's a cool moment
for the for the league's best player. Let's see if
he can get to the chip, you know. Yeah, I
think I kind of want Houston.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I want I kind of want Houston just because it's
they They've had a ton of success lately with Kelvin Sampson,
but have never won it. Like, they haven't won the
title with Kelvin Sampson and it'd be cool Forkevin to
get his too. Yeah, he's never got one, despite a
lot of success all over the country. So what Oklahoma, Indiana,
and now he's trying to do it at Houston, and
Houston's like the most unassuming of all three of those brands,
(08:40):
So like like like Houston win one here. Yeah, let's
see if we can do that. All right, enough basketball talk,
we might talk more about it because the Huskers play
tonight again. Big deal, little little deal. You're trying to
watch this thing. You're gonna pay attention to this thing?
Do you care at all?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I feel like it's more fun to make it a
really big deal.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
So you and me, should we make it a big deal?
Like that stick?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I feel like that's the stick to be right now,
because if you think about it, it's called the college
basketball crown, which an objective observer who's not really familiar
with the sport could say that sounds like a big deal.
And then you look at all the teams and like
three fourths of them have losing records and probably have
like two people playing for him because the rest are
in the trials.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I was gonna say, I'd like to know the trains
for a portal rate of these teams that are playing.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
And they got the mascot and somehow the pop dart
out there playing in the start in five you know, the.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Pop tarts that didn't get fried alive. Right, he's out
there suiting up, which, by the way, I don't know why,
but Loyol Chicago had the pop tart that got fried
alive was apparently back alive or something. I don't know,
maybe maybe it was a different pop tart, but there
was a pop tart running around at a Loyol Chicago game,
you know, a couple of weeks ago, and I was like,
you know what, I could just just bring the pop
tarts everywhere. Yeah, I don't care that it's commercial. Everything's
(09:50):
more fun with the pop tarts around. So let's get
some pop tarts there.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I hope it ups the ante that other bulls take
after the pop tart and maybe you have like Jimmy
Dean Sausage out there with like sausage and bacon going
to war at halftime, you know something like that.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, I'm in for that. They sign me up anyway.
Huskers Arizona State College Basketball Crown seven thirty Nebraska Time
tonight made the team that sucks less. When to eighteen
News ready oo Evanton kfab and Rai's longer. We talked
about this and it's been kind of ingest Donald Trump
(10:24):
in a potential third term and that would require the
twenty second Amendment. His quote essentially was, I've had more
people ask me to have a third term, and then
he kind of does the roundabout thing where which in
a way is a fourth term because the twenty twenty
election was totally rigged. There are people behind him in
the shot that are like snickering, and it's kind of
(10:47):
like easy, guys, don't let everybody in on the fact
that this is all kind of just a big stick
for you guys. And if you watch the video, Trump
kind of has this smirk on his face as he's
talking about it, but he says, I mean, this is
really Donald Trump again, toying with his opposition in the media.
And I don't know when people are finally going to
(11:08):
catch on to this, that this guy just likes to
stir the pot. And there's not many people that could
get away with it like this. But here are a
few things we've talked tariffs, and tariffs are supposed to
go into effect on Wednesday. I'll be honest with you,
I don't feel like talking about it until it actually happens,
because I've talked about it a lot before. It was
supposed to happen in February, and then guess what happened.
It didn't actually happen. So then they said it in
(11:29):
the thirty days, it's going to happen, and it was
going to be early March, it's going to happen, and
so I talked about it a lot of early March,
and then guess what happened. It didn't happen. So why
should I talk about tariffs now without knowing which ones
are actually going to happen and which one's going to
stick or we're going to get another delay because we're
going to be willing to talk to each other. Remember,
we've had all sorts of different conversations with these countries,
(11:50):
and it sounds like, after a little bit of war
of words last week between Mark Kearney and Donald Trump,
that maybe there's some good commentations there in Trump's tone
change a little bit. But that's just one country. He's
talking about all these other countries and everything. I just want,
what point is the line the line like, Okay, this
(12:14):
is gonna happen. This isn't gonna happen. This is all talk.
And how am I supposed to talk about this stuff
when I don't know if any of it is at
all true or what the the greater plan is. I
feel kind of dumb just like talking about this stuff,
and it's just kind of a joke. There's no way
he's thinking about overruling the twenty second Amendment seventy days
into his second term. That's and you can see what
(12:34):
the faces on the guys behind him when that question
was asked. They're all just kind of like, you know,
just kind of like trying to hide their smiles behind
I mean, they're toying with us. This is my livelihood.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
What am I.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Supposed to do?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
I don't know, you know, it's kind of like bowling
with the big Lebowski. Nobody knows where the line is.
Oh that's a good point, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I just say that's just my personal instincts here. If
he is still in good health and standing by the
end of this term, you don't think he's going to
try to run it back. No, you really don't think so. Well,
I mean, I reserve the right to like change my
mind when we get closer. You know, the idea that
we're talking about this three and a half years before
it would actually happen seems kind of stupid. But you
know what, people are talking about it, So let's talk
about it. You want to talk about it, let's talk
(13:15):
about it. Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
You can't tell me that you're a good, upstanding Republican
conservative and then be totally okay with anyone saying I'm
overruling or repealing the twenty second Amendment just because I
like this one politician, right, Okay, So does that mean
in twenty twenty eight if you repeal that that Barack
Obama's going to try to run for sure? I mean, like,
wouldn't that happen. Let's do let's do Trump Obama, let's
(13:39):
do this. I don't think that's a good idea. I
don't think that's going to do for anyone, especially America. So,
you know, no disrespected Barack Obama or Donald Trump or
anybody who's done their service to the United States of America.
But why don't we try to build new candidates, you know,
for the future of America? Because no disrespect also to
the mortality of human people Homo sapiens. But at some
(14:02):
point Donald Trump will no longer be alive, Okay, And
I kind of like the idea of investing into the
future of the parties, both of them. I think it's
good to have two healthy parties. Now, you see Gavin Newsom,
he's going on his little tour of trying to like
clean himself up and move towards the middle a little
bit and have people see him more as a moderate liberal. Hey,
(14:22):
forget all the stuff that I've done in California. Hey
forget about all the wildfire stuff. Hey, forget about all
and mismanagement stuff. Just look how nice my hair is,
and that I'm a decently charismatic person. He's actually a
very charismatic person. That's what he's like. Hey, I'm a
reasonable guy. I talked to all these Republicans. Look at me,
go him, Josh Shapiro. If they elevate somebody else, like
(14:43):
a like you, a couple of young lefty liberal types
wouldn't be awful for the balance of their party, but
they would never win. But you know, like seeing some
new blood people that are under the age of sixty
and the Democratic Party pop up and have a real
shot to just like move forward and like take that
party into a different area. Okay, fine, for the Republicans,
(15:07):
you know what their field could look like in twenty
eight if Donald Trump just as I think he will
leave well enough alone and get the next generation ready,
you know the names that we're gonna be looking at. Well,
Number one obviously pop quiz jd Vance? All right, you
know Dold J. D Vance's right now?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Was he like forty four?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
He's forty he'd be like forty three when this election
would be going on. He'd be among the youngest presidents
of all time. You don't want to know who else
would be on the list. I think Elise Staphonic. I
think she's a person you have to watch. You know
how old Elease is. She's forty. Wow, she'd be forty
three or so as this process was going on in
a few years. You want to who else? I think
(15:45):
you need to keep an eye on. Do not rule
out Tulsi Gabbard, Tulsie, if she can elevate herself from
the intelligence aspect of things, she could be in the mix.
You know how old Tulsi is forty seven, forty three,
she'd be forty six or so when all this was
stuff would be going on, and she's already run for
president before, there's gonna be some extra ability for her there.
(16:06):
Who else I think would be in the mix. Somebody
like Marco Rubio, who's fifty three years old. He's still
young by political standards, He's run for president before, and
as Secretary of State, he's going to have a chance
to really get himself elevated to another level there. He
could be the oldest one in this group, because the
last guy I think could get back in is a
guy who's going to be term limited when it comes
(16:28):
to his governorship is Ron DeSantis. Ron de Santis won't
be fifty years old when this is all happening. So
my point is, you're going to have at least a
good handful of really great people who are under the
age of sixty from the Republican Party that you can
start leaning into to try to help continue to build
the momentum that you're getting here. It would make absolutely
no sense for the Republican Party to be like, oh, yeah,
(16:50):
let's just stick with this guy because he's a great leader. Okay,
let's first of all, let's try to get a little
deeper into this term and see what happens. But you're
going to have a pretty good bench to rely on
for whatever I mean. And this doesn't who's to say
somebody else doesn't kind of pop up. Let's say somebody
in Congress decides, Hey, you know what, I'm actually good.
(17:11):
I feel like I'm elevating myself enough to where i
could throw my hat in the ring. You can't rule
any of that stuff out. I think it's time where
the Republicans have never been in a better spot with good, young,
relatively young leadership across the board. And that's governors around
the country, that is people in Washington, d C. House
of Representatives, in the Senate, people who are in an
(17:32):
administration who have already run for president. You have to
be excited about the people that you have here. At
some point you're gonna have to make sure that those
people get elevated to take us into the future. That's
what I'm saying. So, no, I don't think that it'd
be good for anybody to be like, oh, yeah, let's
repeal the twenty second Amendment and open up that entire
can of worms. Gotcha anyway, Let's open the phones if
you've got thoughts on this, I'd love to hear from you.
(17:53):
Four ROH two five five eight eleven ten is the number.
Four H two five five eight eleven ten. Two twenty
eight is the time on news radio eleven ten. Kre

(18:15):
For tomorrow's primary, yeah, exactly, It's a world backup Day today,
and World backup Day is basically just, hey, you need
to back up your data kind of thing, you know,
like make sure that you don't have everything just in
one place and it could get like hacked into or
destroyed forever. Make sure that you have all sorts of
stuff backed up and make sure that you know you're
(18:35):
not totally screwed if something goes wrong. Made me think, though,
who are some of the great backups of all time?
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Talk about that, guys, say briefly, smart placement of that
holiday because tomorrow's April Fools and who knows somebody might
play a prank on you and delete some of your files.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah, there you go, are right, so woo, I got
an idea, Well we'll save it, We'll go. I got
some emails and a call. I want to get to here.
If you missed what we just talked about. Donald Trump
just kind of, you know, playfully equipped. I think it
was playful of him saying that he would have no
(19:10):
problem potentially thinking about running for a third term. Again,
this is we're so far away that this is kind
of just a moot point. But one thing that we
do know is that he couldn't based on the current
constitutional rules, he could not be a candidate for president
in twenty twenty eight. But that's not stopping some people from,
you know, kind of playing around with this. And whether
(19:32):
it's a joke or not, it's something worth talking about.
I'd rather talk about this than you know, a lot
of the other stuff that we could talk about. But
that's kind of what we do on a talk show.
Let's talk about what's sensational. Let's talk about stuff and
maybe we can disagree on and have some debates on.
That's what we want on the phones. We got Jim
four two, five, five, eight, eleven, ten is the number.
Jim's on the line. Jim, welcome to the show today.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
What do you think, Hey, thanks for taking my call. Yeah, well,
what do I think? Well? I think when we talk
about something is important as US governor and ourselves, I
think it's more. It's got to be more than just
a joke. You know, my fellow of yours and my
fellow Americans, would think about what's been going on for decades,
(20:15):
in the last ten decades of our history. And I'm
just talking about the last ten decades, not even be
We're like a frog in boiling water. Turn up the
heat a little bit and we're gonna boil you. Here's
the reason why I say that our federal government, and
you brought up the two party system again in your
explanation of all that our federal government with the two
party system that our first president warned us about, and
(20:38):
that James Madison and Federals number ten warned us about factions.
Which of our party systems are factions? We didn't heed
the warning. We've been taking a dish ever since the
adoption of the Constitution United States, ever since ratification. Is
just boy, we're like boiling frogs. Here's the deal. We
(20:59):
have an individual right now who's in the White House,
who showed us how the establishment for decades has been
ruling over us. I've told you before, we're self government
by representation, not representation ruling over self government, which we've
turned into. Okay, so they establishment do whatever they want.
We don't even pay attention to them. And then we
wonder why are we in the position we're in. Well,
(21:20):
that's why, because you're not self governing yourselves. Okay, Okay,
Now here's my point. We have a guy in the
White House might be joking around about all this, but
how about if we look around the country. I don't
care if it's a Republican or a Democrat, look around
the country who understands how they are going to represent
us with the constitution and elect damn that's the president
(21:41):
where they're going to take care of the establishment like
Trump did. Now, Trump's got the right ideas, but he
ain't completely right about everything that he does, because I
still don't think he understands the he understands the the
second the second article, that's his article. Article two is
(22:03):
his article. Okay, if you understand what you're supposed to
be doing as the executive of the executive branch. Then
I have no problem with that. But you're not showing
me that you do.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
You may be ask some questions around you, the people
that you hire around you in your cabinet, right, but
they ain't any better than you, right. I mean, I
don't really know how much of a percentage of three
hundred and thirty million of us even understand the Constitution.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
So I don't know what else to tell you, Henry.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yeah, it's an interesting conversation, Jim, and I appreciate you
giving us your thoughts on it today, appreciate you calling
it well.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yeah. So yeah, I think I think the best way
to just kind of like piggyback off of what he
was just saying there is I mean, we can talk
about the Constitution, the twenty second Amendment all we want,
but I mean there's going to be people out there
that like Trump enough to where they like him more
than they care about what the Constitution is. So they'd
rather have him around than him just never be around anymore.
(22:59):
And I guess that's I guess that's I don't know
how to reason with people. Like that, because you can't
then say that you're afraid of what the Democrats are
going to do to the American government in the Constitution,
because you'd be okay with Donald Trump and his current
administration working to repeal an amendment just to give themselves
more power. Donald Trump, By the way, pop quiz how
(23:22):
many executives? And this doesn't count the last few days.
But Donald Trump posted something on his truth social which
was he didn't make this, but he's sharing it from
somebody else. It looks like the White House actually shared this.
And it's the executive order signed in the first sixty
seven days in office. How many executive orders did Donald
Trump sign in the first sixty seven days?
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Two hundred and sixty seven.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Okay, that's a lot. You did it again, I don't know,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
You know, they could be the parameters off Mike, just
say keep it between here and here. How about I
we'll say sixty.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Two sixty There we go, good job. No, it's one
hundred and seven, one hundred and seven in the first
sixty seven days. It's a lot. It's getting telling his
elbow sign in his arm sign, his autographic sign in
his arm. Boy, So if you're wondering, Joe Biden had
less than forty at this point in his first term.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
And Donald Trump seems to be very proud of this.
A lot of people are saying this is great. Now,
you could say that this is warp speed. You can
say that this is good to try to get things done.
But if you are a fan of government and the
way it was constructed by our founding fathers, with checks
and balances, with the legislative branch, with the executive branch
and the judicial branch all kind of watching each other
and overseeing each other before anything crazy happens, how do
(24:34):
you feel about a president, no matter what their background is,
signing over twice as many executive voters in their first
sixty seven days then any other president in American history. Now,
there are some great presidents that have done a lot
of executive orders. Teddy Roosevelt is the first that really
comes to mind. And if you're a fan of what
FDR do, which I know not many people are these days.
You know, we have a lot of you know, revisionist
(24:55):
history about some of the stuff or how it aged.
But I know he was in office for like twelve years,
but he's signed a ton of executive voters. Also, it
just kind of depends on the guy about how much
they want to take that power into their hands. And
Donald Trump has signed more executive voters in his first
sixty seven days in this term than any other president
in American history, which I mean it says something about
how much he is like I'm taking the bull by
(25:18):
the horns this time, and nothing's going to get in
my way. And again, you can't be talking about you're
afraid of what the left is going to do. You
can't be talking about I'm afraid of what Democrats are
going to do if they get elected. They're going to
try to have a dictatorship over our country and they're
trying to change what our government is. But we have
a guy in the office right now, and we may
like him, we may like what the policies are and
(25:38):
all that stuff, but he's doing the exact same thing
that you would be going crazy for if somebody on
the other side was doing. That's all I'm saying, just
the insinuation to repeal an amendment of the Constitution, just
the idea of breaking records and touting breaking records of
executive action, which essentially is usurping the legislation or is
an attempt to get Congress kind of gipped in that process. Now,
(26:01):
Congress also has to do some stuff for a lot
of this stuff to become law, But the executive orders
nobody signed more in the first couple of months. So
am I saying it's all negative. No, I'm just saying
that we need to be consistent with our critiques of
our government, That's all I'm saying. And if a Democrat
was talking about maybe running for a third term in office,
if imagine if Obama said something like this head of
(26:22):
the twenty sixteen election, could you imagine, and then you
look at you know, how Donald Trump was talking about
doing something very similar. Hey, I'm going to try to
maybe say an office for a third year. Even if
I think it was a joke, I think it was playful.
I don't think it was really that serious, especially this early.
Then I think we need to, you know, just be
consistent with the energy and say, eh, you know, it's
(26:42):
a funny joke, but that's not something that we should
be looking for here. Let's get the next generation ready.
Let's not only use the pen of the executive order
to try to achieve things. We have great people in Congress.
Let's go through and really legislate this stuff. Make it
stick so the next president can't just go in there
and undo a bunch of this stuff. That would be
what my plan would be if I was kind of
(27:03):
in the ear of the current administration. But that's just me.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
As as a fine student of behavior. I see the
sixty seven seven days, the sixty seven executive orders, one
hundred and seven, one hundred and seven. Yeah, I think
I guess sixty seven you did see. I have no
frame anyway, you see thee hundred and seven, I see
the one hundred and seven, and I see that he's
proud of it. Yeah, you'd like him to be like
I wish I didn't have to do this, but right,
(27:27):
even right, So it's the behavior thing. It's the behavior
thing that does Actually, if you're making two pools here
of it, was he joking or does this guy literally
want to become the emperor of America? That goes in
the pot of this guy literally wants to become the
emperor of America. It does. So he does that.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Even if he's not, the opposition will have that angle.
Now the opposition can use that angle and say that
is something like you said, he is doing this, Like
look at what he's doing. He's he's doing all this
stuff that you said you should be afraid of. If
the Democrats did it, you can do that. But if
it's policy that you like or it's things that you
agree with, you're just like, oh, it's not that big
(28:05):
a deal, and it's like, Eh, that's not consistent messaging.
If it was the other side, you'd be saying, these
people are trying to change the style of our government.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I think Donald does want to become the emperor of America.
Just like the greatest basketball player out there wants to
play all forty eight minutes of the entire game.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
He doesn't trust anybody else to get it done right
fair enough. I do disagree with that either. I also
think that, you know, the United States government has always
been about checks, balances and team Even if you have
a bunch of people who disagree with you, it's supposed
to be a full team effort with representation across all
fifty states. And I'm hopeful that we don't lose that
(28:45):
messaging while we're in this warp speed that Donald Trump.
Jd vance Elon Musk and all these guys are saying
is so great. You've seen it with Doge. We've had
to rehire a lot of the people that were initially
fired and a bunch of different things for a bunch
of whether it's a judge intervening or something was you know, overlooked,
or people were doing important research about the bird flu
(29:07):
and needed to be brought back. We need to just,
I think, take our time a little bit on some
of this stuff got to hit a break. It's two
forty nine good stuff on news radio eleven ten Kfab
and Rie's songer on news radio eleven ten Kfab playing
troll and he's nobody's not it better than him? You know,
do you know, can you think of any politician or
even a high profile person that is so actively enjoyed
(29:31):
the haters to the point where he's just constantly just
giving them ammunition to use to hate him with, Like
I can't think of anybody in any because in most
industries you want people to like you. I mean, the
only thing I can compete with that I think are
wrestling heels like bad guys in wrestling who that's their
job is to do everything they can to make you
(29:51):
dislike them, but at the end of the day, that's
still a performance more than it is like actual real life.
Donald Trump, I think truly enjoys this part of politics
where he can say anything and know he's going to
generate a reaction, especially from the opposition.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
It just makes me wonder when someone from the left
is going to take the same tactics and flip it around.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Well. I think I think a lot of people are like,
we talked about Jasmine, what's your face? Oh sure, Jasmine
Crockett from Texas Crockett. That's her name, Jasmine Crockett. She's
kind of doing the she's like the colorful language response.
I mean, she's the younger person, but she's like she's
trying to do what she can to, you know, get noticed.
And she has no problem, you know, going at it
(30:33):
with Marjorie Taylor Green or some of the other Republicans
and insulting them or using bad words that we couldn't
even air on our radio show. And I think that
might be the next thing. You know, you have people
like AOC who are pretty demonstrative, but they just kind
of look and sound crazy to a normal person. You
have to have a person that looks and sounds like
a Gavin Newsom or a Josh Shapiro, who are charismatic,
(30:56):
but they're not over the top, and they look or
sound like people that we know in our everyday lives
and have them all of a sudden start throwing like
grenades that direction. And honestly, that's got to be the
only way that you're gonna get to that point, and
you're gonna have to wait for Trump to kind of exit, right.
There's just not really space for that kind of person
to win that game against him.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Trump talks so well to the populace of his base.
I just think you need to find that on the left. Yeah,
but what is the base on the left?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I feel like there's a bunch of different sectors of people, like,
we can't win general election unless we're in the middle.
But then all of the youth in that party want
to go as far left and as radical as possible,
and there's just there's a big discrepancy I think, across
the entire spectrum in that party, and they have to
answer a lot of questions and develop candidates sooner rather
than later if they're gonna have any chance in twenty eight.
