And uh, I I do.I find a lot of things fascinating
in this world. And one ofthese things is these protests. Man.
Because now now, I mean weare we are getting into some weird stuff.

(02:31):
Matt. Do you remember the listof demands made by the Columbia protesters
or so its fridge farm remembers AndI, no, I don't remember.
Okay, Well, it's like tellingthe school to divest from any Israeli company
interests or anything, and and divestfrom anything related to Israel in general.

(02:54):
And I don't know what that means. Is it pertains to like Israeli or
Jewish students. But I'm sure thesepro Hamas people that are among these protesters
would be like, oh yeah,let's get them. Well, more and
more protests are popping up because youknow what, it's good for the goose,
is good for the gander or themore the merrier or something like that.
Right, Well, the University ofChicago has entered the fray. Enter

(03:16):
the University of Chicago. You knowwhat the University of Chicago is most famous
for, not for their sports teams. Do they even have them? Not
anymore? Right? So, okay, so this is like a high level
institution of higher learning. But therewere some actual legitimate football teams back in
the day. University of Chicago actuallywas coached by Amos Alonzo Stagg considered one

(03:38):
of the real brainiacs of early Americanfootball, and without him, we wouldn't
have a lot of the innovations thatwe enjoined in football today. He was
the coach in over one hundred yearsago. Also, about ninety years ago,
they had a guy by the nameof Jay Burwanger as a running back
for the University of Chicago. Sure, and Jay Burwanger was his claim to

(03:59):
fame. He has two Jay Burwangernever heard of him? Oh? Well,
he was an Iowan. Wke.Iowa was where he was born and
raised. Can you claim that tofame? Uh No, that's just a
thing that is so if you're anIowan, Jay Burwanger is a famous Iowan.
And then Jay Burwanger went on andwon the first Heisman Trophy really and

(04:20):
then the next year was the firstever number one draft pick in the NFL.
Wow. So he's the first Heismanwinner in the first draft pick in
the NFL. Get so many NFLgames he played, by the way,
thirty three zero? Okay, hequabbled over fifteen hundred dollars with George Hallis
and the Chicago Bears, never playedand came to regret it as his life
were on. Shoot, yeah,it was the thirties. Nobody knew what

(04:41):
if pro football was going to makeit, you know, he didn't know.
He went back to farming dust.And then the University of Chicago shortly
thereafter was like, why are weplaying football? And then got out of
the whole thing and they're like,we're going to focus on academics. And
since then they've been just a bunchof uppity titwads who only resurface whenever they
do something stupid like this. Well, there is a group on the University

(05:05):
of Chicago campus and they say theyare the U Chicago Popular University for Gaza.
That is what they're calling their encampment. And they had a rally this
week and one of their protesters saidthis, are you ready for this?
They have more demands? Okay,they didn't keep their demands on task with

(05:29):
you know, Columbia and some ofthese other East Coast universities that started these
things, he said, or sheone of them, neither of them who
knows, said the U Chicago PopularUniversity for Gaza demands that you Chicago divests
from the Gaza genocide. We demandthat you Chicago divests from weapons manufacturers arming

(05:55):
Israel and its partnerships with militarized Israeliuniversities and cut hies with the Israel Institute.
We also demand that you Chicago divestsfrom all interrelated forces of death and
violence into which it is currently complicit, especially fossil fuel production UCPD, that's

(06:15):
a University of Chicago Police department,and construction projects that fuel South Side displacement.
The University of Chicago or sorry,the U Chicago Popular University for Gaza
demands that the university disclose university investments. We demand full transparency into U Chicago's
budget, investments in holdings, particularlyit's financial involvement in Israeli apartheid, weapons

(06:40):
manufacturing, fossil fuel production, propertyownership and investment on the South Side,
and UCPD, oh man, andit goes on and on and on and
on and on. They want themto recognize Israel's genocide and scholastic side Is

(07:01):
that a word? What is that? Is that the killing of schools?
Scolasticide? Huh? Or is thata flavor of kool aid? What?
What would that taste like? Scholasticide? Maybe it's a pesticide. Is that

(07:21):
what cyanide? Is you know,I know a few one hundred people have
tried that once. Really. Yeah, how they're doing now? M not
not so good, Matt, notso good. Thanks for asking. Uh.

(07:47):
They want to support the Bursite University'sinitiative to rebuild Gozen higher education.
Maybe that's what it is. There'sno colleges that Uh, there's no good
colleges in the gaza as if thesepeople need higher learning. Signing the Union
Principles of Responsible Investment, they wantto dispand the UCPD, Oh okay,

(08:09):
no more police, redirecting funds toSouthside community based products, Oh okay,
so you know, like the povertystricken area of Chicago one of them,
and allocating funds to annual rental assistantsin local schools, expanding employer assistant housing,
funding grants for long term affordable housing, and halting expansion on the south
side. Also decarbonizing the endowment andreducing emissions by fifty percent by twenty thirty

(08:33):
in line with the university's existing sustainabilityplaying for campus emissions. So they have
turned this into just a full leftwing leftist protest, anti police, anti
emissions, no fossil fuels, andthat is on top of all the Gaza
stuff, oh in the investment potentiallyof Gosen higher education. If you couldn't
think that, these kids couldn't thinkof something else, my goodness anyway,

(08:58):
all right, so hey, uh, my entire show is phone line open.
Matt. You answer the phone allthe time, don't you. Yeah?
When it rings, I answer,I say hello, how are you
You know you don't no? Isay, kfab Could I get your first
name? Please exactly? And beready with that? And then what do
you ask him? And then Iand then I ask him, what do

(09:18):
you want me to put in yourcomment line? You know, like what's
a quick, heavy hitting you know, like one line? What do you
want to talk Why do you needthat? I need it because I want
to know what you want to talkabout. And don't tell it to me,
by the way, tell it toEmery Song and everybody else who's listening.
Right, You tell him the oneline, and then he puts the
one line into our call screen machine, and then I get to see that.
So while I'm in the middle oftalking, I can look at the

(09:39):
call screen things see what your nameis and what you want to talk about,
and then you can talk to meabout what you want to talk about
and I talk to everybody, don'tI don't I Matt he talks to everybody.
I talk to everybody. You justcan't say bad words. If you
say bad words, then I haveto hit this dump button. Right,
So if you want to call,you can call about the protests or about
whatever. Tuna. Tuna is goingto be a popular topic today. It's

(10:01):
World Tuna Day. I gotta Igotta talk back about tuna. You want
to hear it? No, notright now, let's say it. We're
going to talk about tuna. Two. So if you want to talk about
the protest, you want to talkabout tuna, You want to talk about
Donald Trump, you want to talkabout you know, gag orders. Yeah,
we could talk about anything. Fouroh two five five eight eleven ten
four h two five five eight toeleven ten News radio eleven ten kfab You
are listening to Emory Songer on newsradio eleven ten K fabulous. I probably

(10:31):
would be able to understand what washappening in court better if they just like
spent ten hours in like engraving somethingon a piece of tenfoil or something.
Now that takes some skill, Yeah, maybe a little bit more macaroni is
what I'm looking at. Why whywhy are these people? Like why can
somebody explain to me why the courtroomlike doodler always does it in like this.

(10:52):
You can see what's happening, butit doesn't really show you anything.
It's just like, is that justsomething that happened back in the day when
there was no photography? And Idon't know, it's stupid. We can't
put a camera in there to filmthis stuff because we need to make sure

(11:13):
that the doodler has a job.Is that what I'm understanding, Because we
have no use for the doodle thatthis person is putting together if we have
the cameras, So we're just tryingto save their profession. I guess that's
my angle on all that. There'sso many other professions that we could have
tried to save if we're going todo that much just to save some some

(11:35):
doodlers, you know, dude,I'm just saying, of all of the
things that what use is that?Like they do they print those in the
newspaper? And why do they alwayslook the same. It's like, oh,
it's the back of Trump's head.Oh and there's a person on the
stand. But we can't take actualphotos and share them. We just have

(11:56):
to doodle them. Somebody's gonna takeplain the history of that. To me,
it has to predate cameras, ithas to right, and they're just
like, okay, well, justout of traditional aspects. We just have
to have a person who does itin this exact style all the time,
and that's their job is just todoodle what's happening in court? Yeah?
What what way? Yeah? What'swhat the doodle? I needna say,

(12:18):
take a picture? Let's just whateven saying? What's the point? And
why does it always in the samestyle. It's always crude. You can
always kind of make it out,but it's never like a piece of art
that you're going to hang up like, oh yeah, I'm the guy that's
gonna buy this person's you know,doodle of Donald Trump looking at uh,
witness David Pecker, who's on thestand at his New York City trial New

(12:41):
York versus Trump back in twenty twentyfour. I mean, come on,
Doug's on our phone line of fourh two, five, five, eight,
eleven ten, Doug, what doyou want to talk to us about
today? Yeah? I figured itout. You know, I've had.
I've got a daughter that's forty oneyears old and my best friend his daughter
is same age, and they're tellingme all this stuff about Trump is hitler.

(13:05):
He is hitler, And you know, I just keep getting more pissed
off by the day when I hearthis. Well, why did they say
that? Do they give you reasonsfor that or they just say it?
Yeah, they just say it becausethey are like those protesters, they actually
do what they do. These areforty year olds. Huh, they're forty
one year olds. The forty oneyear old my daughter's got three, she's

(13:28):
got two master's degrees. Oh,well, that's the problem there, Doug.
She went to school too long.They indoctrinated. She went to school
during the Obama era and she gotbrainwashed. I'm sorry. Yeah, now,
well, I mean it doesn't haveto be in the Obama I mean
there are there was brainwashing going onthere when Eisenhower was in office. Yeah,
probably right. But I found outis they will follow my daughter and

(13:54):
her friend, which is my bestfriend's daughter. They will follow these Palestinian
protesters to get what they want.And they're just pissed off because they don't
know who to vote for. Bidengot himself in a predicament because he's he's
gotten calling the National Guard or stopthis some way or another. Well and
he don't want Well, Doug,we're going to talk about him coming up

(14:16):
in the next half hours, soso sit tight on that one. That
that that that is definitely he actuallytalked about this stuff today. So we're
gonna out. Yeah, we're goingto talk about what he talked about today.
But absolutely, Man, I appreciatewhat you're talking about because it's pretty
interesting, uh interesting stuff that youknow, you have people close to you

(15:09):
I mean, you're doing yourself adisservice at this point to not get
your name into the running for thisthing. I mean our station has won
a bunch, but you know,our show wins more than anybody else does
because you know, we we dominatethe contest, and that's good. We
want to But the idea of likejust handing a thousand bucks to a bunch
of people in Omaha, that's good. Could you say we're stimulating the economy?
Met? Is that? I meanyou could say that, right,

(15:31):
Yeah, you can say anything.No, you can't just say anything just
about but you could say that you'resimulating the economy and be like accurate with
it, right, because you know, you give somebody a thousand dollars.
I mean that what the government didabout COVID, they just you know,
it's like here's what we're gonna callyou this this stimulus or whatever. Take
this stimulus and stimulate and then theypeople stimulate it all over town and they

(15:56):
sure did. I know, I'mstimulated just by thinking about all these make
Matt Stimulated win one thousand dollars InternationalKeyword Contest. Something tells me that that
incentive is gonna be less incentivey thanyesterday's yeah, where we were threatening your
life, right, but it generateda winner. So you know, hey,

(16:19):
hey, let's this is a goodmess around. Let's see what works.
Let's let's keep see all right.Phone lines open four two five,
five eight eleven ten. Four htwo five to five, eight eleven ten.
Chuck's on the line, Chuck,Thanks for the call. What's on
your mind? Chuck? You weretalking about there you go, cameras in
the court line. Cameras in thecourtroom. Yeah, So what's what's up

(16:40):
with that? I think it stemsfrom, if I'm not mistaken, I
think it's the Linburg kidnapping trial backin the thirties. If you know about
that. Winberg had a small childthat was kidnapped and murdered out of his
crib, and it had such publicnotoriety that they did like cameras and newsreel

(17:02):
cameras in at that time, andit turned into a holy circus. And
I think after that they just outlawedcameras live action in the courtroom. And
I think you know, they saidthat it turned all the courtroom actors into
performers, and so I think thatmight be a little bit of it,

(17:22):
if I remember right. But yeah, that had such national prominence that it
stirred such people from east to westthat I think they just said that's enough
of cameras in the class in thecourtroom. Yeah. I just imagine if
they would have had video in thatscenario as well. It's pretty crazy.
No, I appreciate, Chuck.That's some good, good, good thought,
and I'm glad love that love that. You always want legitimate answers.

(17:42):
Appreciate the call, Chuck. Sothere you go the Lennburgh baby. Hey,
pop quiz. Charles Lindberg's famous forwhat? Airplanes? What about he
flew? Is he the one whowent across the United States, like from
one side to the other. Well, I mean he might that, but
that's not what he's famous for.Oh uh, come on, you're close

(18:04):
airplanes? Yeah, he did somethingwith an airplane, he did, so
he didn't do that though, itwasn't that and made him famous. He
do a loop loop in the sky. No, he might have, but
that's also not what he's famous for. Uh. Well, I know that
he's not the guy who, uhwho stole all that money and then jumped
out of an airplane. That's somebodydB Cooper. We never caught him.

(18:25):
No, didn't. That happened likefifty years after the Lindburg thing happened.
So so what did what did CharlesLindberg do? Come on, Matt,
you're close. Now, he wasn'tthe one. Uh huh that big that
big uh, that big balloon thatwas filled with hydrogen that exploded in the
air. That's the Hendenberg. That'sa different Berg. I was close,

(18:45):
Solenberg Hendenberg. No, it's LindbergLinburger. Check. Oh, no,
it's Charles Lindberg. And he wasthe first man to cross the Atlantic Ocean
in an airplane. He took offfrom New York and he landed in Paris.
It was a big deal. Ah, nobody had ever done it before.
Nobody knew it could be done untilhe did it. And then his

(19:08):
kid got stolen in unfortunately did notmake it after that, and then the
core case, which Chuck so eloquentlyput was maybe the reason why they'd keep
a lot of the media out ofthat, because they didn't want people to
start performing in court as if theywere a performer, even though there's a
ton of video this stuff. Afterthe fact. Oh, Hindenburg, that's

(19:30):
not even a plane, it's aZeppelin. Fun fact. Do you know
the Hindenburg had a flag or aninsignia on its tail wings. What was
it? What was the insignia onits tail wings. I have a guess,
but I don't want to be wrongabout it. Guess wasn't it from
It was from Germany? Right,it was? So? Was it?

(19:52):
There? Thing? What thing?The thing that they repurposed that actually used
to be a part of h aHindu religion. You mean the swastika?
Yeah, it's the swastika. Theword you say that it's not a bad
word. Well, it's just it'swell, the symbol itself is associated with

(20:12):
Nazis, but with a lot ofevil. Yeah, well yeah, yeah,
but this, the symbol itself didn'tperpetuate the evil. It was just
a symbol for those who did perpetuatethe evil and probably will forever be associated
with them and the hereafter anyway.Oh, sorry, Don's on the phone
line four O two five five eighteleven teen. Why don't you remind me
Don was on the phone line.You got me on sen same as Don,

(20:34):
Don. What's up? What's onyour mind? Hey? I thanks
guys for letting me speak. Ijust wanted to remind everybody that today is
the National Day of Prayer. Ohnice, Yeah, that's a that's a
good one. Yeah. Obviously we'vegot a lot of things going on in
our country and the world that wethat we pray for. But you know,
our leader set aside this day andhopefully everybody will say a prayer for

(20:56):
our country, and uh, thescripture urges us to pray for our leaders,
So I just would hope everybody dothat. Don I appreciate you shining
this light on us today and reallyappreciate you calling in with that information.
Have a great rest of your day. Man. All right, thanks,
guys, there you go. Nowsee, we need that reminder from time
to time. Because the first thingthat popped up on my calendar was World

(21:18):
Tuna Day, which, by theway, I'll be honest, I don't
think I've ever really eaten tuna really, yeah. Never, And I'm a
fish guy too, have you not? That blows my mind. I'll explain
next on these Radio eleven ten kfab, Emerys Sunger on News Radio eleven ten
KFAB. By the way, ifyou're a Huskar fan, first no hitter

(21:41):
thrown by a pitcher for Nebraska sincenineteen fifty four, Jackson Brockety Lefty Southpaw
a no hitter yesterday against Kansas State, one day after they just lost again
to the Kurrate and Blue Jays,who have now swept the season series from
the Huskers. A year where Imean Creyton's baseball team is uh, they

(22:07):
might not even make their conference tournament, but yet of course they sweep the
Huskers. They don't even play allthose games at one time. I know
they space them out. Yeah,what is it that does the Blue Is
it the Blue Jay intimidating? What'shappening? Creighton's baseball team right now is
thirty one and eleven, but theyare four and seven in their conference?
So how does that work? Notonly playing eleven conference games when you play

(22:32):
forty two games in a season.I don't even know how does it even
work? Anyway? You ask mewhy I haven't eaten tuna before? Yeah,
well because tuna's tuna smells bad.Okay, And I have a real
strong old factory bulb, you know. Okay, have you ever tested your

(23:00):
old factory bulb? Do you knowwhat an old factory bulb is? Or
am I just making stuff up aswe go here? You're talking about your
nose. You got a strong senseof smell. An old factory bulb is
a rounded, massive tissue that containsseveral types of nerve cells, which are
involved in the sense of smell.What it's right, it's right, It's

(23:21):
like here right, Like if youcould drill a hole from the top of
the bridge of your nose at likea forty five degree angle behind your nose,
you'll touch like your old factory bulb, or maybe even more closely.
It's like underneath the bottom of youreyes pretty much. And that's the thing
that like tells your brain, Oh, this is what that smell is.

(23:44):
I am incredibly sensitive to smell.I love a lot of smells and I
hate a lot of smells. Onesmell I hate is tuna. I hate
the smell of tuna. You wantto know what I love? Mahi mahi.
I love salmon. Salmon one ofmy favorite foods. I don't know
why those smells don't like. Thesalmon smell is pretty good to me.

(24:07):
A lot of people say that's disgusting. Do you like salmon? It depends
on how it's served. I mean, as long as it's cooked, I'm
probably gonna eat it. It's good. Like I'm a big fan of salmon.
There's something about the smell of tuna, and maybe it's the packaging too,
dude, Like, isn't it weirdthat you put tuna in like these
soft packages or in these little tanslike cat food is served in. Isn't

(24:30):
that weird? I don't know,Like I just can't get it out of
my mind. But what if sonobody's served you a tuna, fish,
salmon, it's all dressed up withthe no you know, my wife is
offered I just refuse. It's justlike, can I just have ham and
cheese? Like? What's wrong withthat? You know? When you have
like stuff you already know you like, Or you're gonna give me this real

(24:52):
foul smelling thing that came out ofa fish or came out of a cat
food can, Like, what doyou want for me? Although it is
World tun today, and you knowwhy it's World tun today to make sure
that we are aware of tuna conservationefforts because of all the health benefits.

(25:14):
I give my dogs some of thatfatty acid that you get from some fish
like tuna. It really helps theircoats be nice and healthy and doesn't dry
out their skin. You know,I don't know. If you're a big
fan of tuna, you can callus at four h two, five,
five, eight, eleven ten Andno I am not suggesting. You tell
me to try it and we'll talkmore about these protests. I have the

(25:36):
official number of how many students wereinvolved versus non students at Columbia University's arrest.
On news radio eleven ten kfab
