Speaker 2 (00:01):
Thanksgiving was so long ago it might as well been
fifty years ago. It's now like, hey, what are your
Christmas plans? When are you taking off? What are you
doing for Christmas? It's like Thanksgiving doesn't even count anymore? Right?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Oh? I think it counted more this year for I
don't know why reason, but it counted more this year.
And now what do we have? We have three weeks
three weeks of Christmas. That's it. So all of you
people who don't want to start celebrating Christmas before Thanksgiving,
you are wrong.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
All right, let's discuss because I have had this argument
within my own family as I am a staunch, horrible
person who would not allow any Christmas until after Thanksgiving.
And that doesn't mean Thanksgiving night. And I'll tell you this,
here's what a jerk I am. We're driving back on
(00:56):
Saturday from our little Thanksgiving celebration down in Kansas. We
had a very nice time and my wife had the
holiday radio station on and I said, I'm not ready yet.
Not ready?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
It was after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
No, but we were your own rules, I know, but
it was November thirtieth.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Suck. You don't get to choose.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Did you just tell me to suck it?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
You don't get to choose, get to tell you already chose?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
No, No, I it was coming back from our Thanksgiving celebration. Sure,
so I did. I decreed. The Christmas started yesterday, yesterday
being December first, I and I enveloped myself so much
in Christmas. Yesterday, I and pretty much I alone. First
(01:49):
of all, I started getting all the stuff out of
the basement, started putting all the stuff up, even went
to three different stores to find a new inflatable for
the front yard. Because our Yoda wearing a Santa Claus hat. Yeah,
I'm not gonna repeat what you just said for those
that didn't hear it. We had a Yoda that wears
(02:10):
a Santa Claus hat carrying a candy can.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
How big can that be?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Not very big to say that. And it finally died
after several years, so we had to we bury that
in the yard. And and and and as it's tombstone,
we now have another little inflatable out there in the yard,
just a little thing out there. I like to like
to have that out there. It's it's not the it's
not not a pay site. What you said it's not
that kind of you said.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
You weren't going to repeat that.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
It's not I know, but it's funny you think that
I got an inflatable doll, like a female doll, or
were you thinking I got some sort of guy. I
don't know what you're thinking.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
And yeah, I'm so glad I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, and you did. Yeah, they listened better than regular guys.
So not only did it do that all day yesterday,
but last night we went to the Sarah Brightman show
at Christmas Symphony at the Orfum. It was lovely, credible show,
and had a chance to meet Sarah for just a
brief moment after the show, which is very nice. I'll
be posting those pictures on Facebook once we get them
(03:14):
back from the tour in the next couple of days.
Wonderful show last night, absolutely incredible. I hope you were
able to join us at the Orphium. Fantastic show. So
I went deep end on Christmas yesterday. I just wasn't
on the way back from Thanksgiving celebration. I wasn't ready yet.
But if I will allow myself to hearken, Lucy, did
(03:39):
you have a nice Thanksgiving? Please tell me you did.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Of course I had a lovely Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Thank you, I might choose to believe that.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I'm still I'm not happy about this, though you have
decreed it in your household much Your lovely, beautiful family
cannot celebrate Christmas until after Thanksgiving. It's two days after Thanksgiving,
and you won't let them listen to Christmas music.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
No five hour car ride, no Christmas songs. I was
almost ready, but the first one that popped up was
Wonderful Christmas Time by Paul McCart And no, I'm not
ready to get hit by Wammageddon yet. And I like
Last Christmas by Wham. You're familiar with Wammageddon, right.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I'm not sure I know Wham is. Yeah, Last Christmas
is not actually a Christmas song. I know that.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
No, it's not. It's not written that way, I know.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
But it's a breakup song with renewed hope for a
new relationship that happens to have the setting of Christmas.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
After Christmas, so you don't have to buy a gift.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, but whatever, it's still it's played a lot. I
like that song. George Michael could sing the phone Book
and I would have listened to it. I like me
some George, and you know what, I celebrate Andrew Ridgeley
as well. So that Wham documentary was really good. I
didn't realize how much of a driving force Andrew Ridgely
really was. He's no longer a punchline. He's the reason
(05:04):
we have George Michael. But I digress. So Wamageddon is
to see how far you can get into the holiday
season without purposefully listening to last Christmas familiar with this,
and then once you hear you're in a department store,
it comes up on the radio. Whatever. Then you have
to post I got hit by Wammageddon today, that the
(05:24):
day was this day at this time. I lasted this
long until I got hit by Wammageddon. And I'm not
gonna play it on this show. So I'm not going
to take people out of there.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I would have been out of this game a week ago.
I was watching old Ted Lasso episodes.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
They're all old Ted last episodes.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Well that's true.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Oh my gosh. You see the last episode of Cobra
Kail so good, it was so good, it was so good.
All right, that's all on that. I'm not giving anything away,
but I will harken back to something else that happened
over the last few days. A lot of people with
a lot of opinions. You just heard Jim Rose fifteen
(06:08):
minutes ago give his thoughts on the handshake that wasn't
In case you are not familiar with what didn't happen.
Before a football game, the each team sends its captains
out to midfield for the coin toss, and generally there's
a however tertiary exchange of a hand against hand, a
(06:32):
good luck today, that kind of thing. You could mean
it or not, whatever, You just go out there, you
shake hands and do it. The Iowa captains go out
there and extend their hands to the Nebraska captains. Those
captains just look down at their hands, look down at
the Iowa players hands, and refused to shake their hands.
Some people say it's because Nebraska had asked whether they'd
(06:55):
be able to at midfield after the game, like we
traditionally do, do a huddle up prayer. And what I've
heard is that the Iowa team said no, so like,
we're not going to shake their hands because you know,
what would Jesus do? But so't. I don't know anything
about any of that. I don't know that any of
that justifies not shaking the hands of the opposing players, captains,
(07:19):
and I know that there have been some people that said, like,
oh my gosh, come on, you old guys. On news
radio eleven ten kfa B, Nebraska's news, weather and traffic station,
thanks for saying the whole thing. Come on, you old guys,
get with it. This is kind of the new way
that athletes do. You got to go out there and
you gotta have some swagger and you'll see you'll see
(07:42):
this happen a lot, and it's all about the video.
It's all about the clicks. These guys that go out
there and they won't shake their opponent's hands. You know,
you don't you see this in any sport, including MMA,
UFC and boxing. You know, these guys aren't out there
shaking hands before a boxing fight. Yeah, you know why
they've got gloves on. So anyway, this is kind of
(08:02):
a new way. You've got to go out there and intimidate,
got to have some swagger, gotta have some ego. All right.
First of all, this team hasn't earned the right to
have that kind of swagger and ego. Look, we're all
happy we beat Wisconsin. We got bull eligible. That's a
(08:23):
good as we talked about a week ago. It's a
good step in the right direction as we build back
the program. We have not reached the goal line. We're
not even in the red zone for where we want
to be as a Nebraska football program. But I think
you'll find whether you look back at the Nebraska programs
of the nineties with our national championship seasons, or you
(08:45):
look at any programs who are doing really well. Now,
once you get to that point, you don't have to
look down and belittle your opponent. You just go out
there and beat them. You don't have to play mind
game or any of the rest of that stuff. You
just go out there and beat them. I prefer the
Nebraska football teams of the nineties who were so nice
(09:07):
to the other teams that our offensive lineman would tell
them where we're running the football. Hey, it's coming up,
it's coming right at you, just giving your heads up,
and then we'd do it, like try and stop it.
That's the kind of swagger I can get behind. It's
kind of a jerk move, but that one I can appreciate. Hey,
(09:28):
we told them where we're going to run it, and
we ran it that way. We didn't fake them out
or anything. We try to throw them a bone, like, hey,
you guys haven't been able to stop us. I'm just
telling you we're coming right here. It's coming to the
two hole, and then usually we'd two hold that team
pretty well to catch my drift. So I prefer that.
(09:50):
I prefer a Nebraska football team that wins and loses
with class. And for those who say it's not that
big a deal, I look at this as I know,
these football players aren't my kids. They're not really kids
at all. But if your son, your daughter was out
(10:13):
there competing, whether it's anything from a football game to
a volleyball game, to a spelling bee to a math
counts competition, and you have an opportunity to shake your
opponent's hand before or after a competition, don't you do that.
I told my son today that if I ever see
(10:36):
you not shake your opponent's hand in a situation like that,
I'd be incredibly disappointed. He goes, no, Dad, I do.
I said, here's what you got to do. You've got
to you got to go out there and shake your
opponent's hand, and then you run up in the stands
you give his mom a hug. I take her out
for a nice steak dinner and then remember to call
her later, which would be an opposite of your nineties
(10:59):
movie too two thousands movie reference for this segment of
the radio program, take take missus what's her face? Out
to a nice steak dinner and never call her again.
I can't remember the name of the woman's reference to No,
that's anchorman. My son's like, all right, but anyway, what
I was trying to tell him is, this is not
(11:21):
the level of swagger that I need to see from you.
You just go out there and you let whatever you
do on the field or court of competition count as
you're swagger as your talk. You just pretty much don't talk.
Let your actions talk for you. And the best players
(11:41):
were not big talkers. So I'm disappointed that Nebraska's football
captains decided to go this route. I'm disappointed that coach
Matt Ruhle had yet to say anything about all of this. Yeah,
it didn't really come out in time for the postgame
news conference. I don't know if he even knew about it.
(12:04):
If he did, that's problematic. Why he didn't release the
statement or something over the weekend. I think it's problematic.
He'll be asked about it. Today there's a news conference.
I think I think we're doing the standard Monday newsgap.
We don't have a game this week. I don't know
when our next game is going to be. There will
be another one here this bowl season, and by then
(12:27):
I will look forward to leaving all of this behind us,
all this unpleasantry and so forth behind us. So I'm disappointed,
especially since as disappointed as I was to see Nebraska
lose that football game in a very reminiscent way, in
(12:48):
a very typical fashion, in a very here we go
again display against Iowa kicking a field goal to win. Hey,
who could have seen that coming. It's like a Police
Academy sequel, like they were doing the same it's the
same jokes. It's like Airplane two. We're doing the same jokes,
and it's not funny. It's not as funny the second time. Anyway,
(13:11):
I was disappointed to see Nebraska lose that football game
when we absolutely outplayed Iowa the entire game, but we
found a way to lose. And then I was even
more disappointed to hear myself say out loud after seeing
the display of not shaking the opponent's hands saying, you
know what, maybe we deserve to lose. I'm disappointed we lost.
(13:35):
I would have preferred that we've beatn Iowa and also
preferred that we'd displayed our character in a different way
as so as to show that we had some So yeah,
count me as one of those old out of touch
Husker fans who's disappointed, because I'd be disappointed if my
son act that way. It's all love hearing your thoughts
(13:58):
on it, Scott at kfab in these Zonkers custom was inbox.
It's got a kfab dot com. Uh no scheduled news
conference today because we don't have a game this week.
Coach Matt Rule needs to address this, and I'd love
to hear your thoughts as well. We'll get to some
of those emails I see him piling up over here. Also,
(14:21):
we've got a pardon to talk about. Did Lucy just
roll her eyes?
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Well I'm not. I shouldn't talk about this.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
No, I'm not talking. I didn't roll my eyes because
you're talking about it. Okay, I'm rolling my eyes because
it happened, and.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
We're going to talk about it next Scott and Lucy.
This is not the way I want Nebraska football players
or fans to act. We don't act like this. Like this, I.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Will smash your face into a car windshield and then
take your mother, Dorothy Mantooth out for a niceyfood dinner
and never ca Herrigan.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Dorothy Manoo is gonna stand me. Dorothy Mantooth is a set.
Dorothy man Tooth is a saint, and we need to
respect that. You go out there, you shake hands, and
if you take Dorothy man Tooth out for a nice
seafood dinner, you call her the next day. And then
you shake hands with the opposing teams captains at midfield
(15:23):
for the coin toss. This is how you act. Don't
act like that. Ding ding ding ding ding, there's your
I can't remember when Anchorman came out, if it was
nineties or two thousands, but all I know is referencing
Anchorman sixty percent of the time. It works every time, right.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Lucy night shift?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
No, still Anchorman not listening.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
No, I recognize the other guy's boys.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Oh yeah, you just got lost and hearing Vince Vaughan.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
No, that wasn't Vince Vaughan.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Well, the guy responding Dorothy Mantooth as a saint. That
was Vince Vaughan.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Well the other guy then, yeah, that is.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
A champ kind that guy. Yeah, that's the actor. The
I can't think of the actor's name, it doesn't matter.
So that's that's what I like to see out of
Nebraska football players and fans, as you win and lose
with class. But boy, the kind of firing back of
(16:32):
basically that that give and take happened a few times
in the in the realm of football competition over the weekend,
probably most notably was Michigan beating Ohio State again. It's
amazing to see that coach Ryan Day of Ohio State
(16:52):
is something like forty seven and one against Big ten
teams in his tenure as coach of Ohio State not
named Michigan, and now he's like one in four against Michigan.
Michigan's had a pretty bad year, but they still beat
Ohio State. And then afterwards the Michigan players are like,
We're going to go out and plant our Michigan flag
(17:13):
here at midfield on Ohio State's field, which is super
dumb because it's astro turf. You can't plant the flag
on astro turf. Also, what are we even doing? What
in the world makes you think that this. You know,
(17:34):
the Ohio State players are going to let you plant
their flag at midfield of their field. Good. I'm glad
that they came back in and fought them.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I have a more important question, what was this coach
not available when we were searching?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Who? Ryan Day?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I guess whatever his name is.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Uh No, he was already at Ohio State.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
But oh, apparently we've got an awful lot of money
we could have lured him over.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, but you know, we like to beat Michigan too,
and he can't apparently. But still, I don't mind the
players defending their turf. I don't mind of the Ohio
State players going out there and stopping the Michigan players.
No more so than one of the most famous things
(18:22):
that we saw here. I think it was Tarrell Owens.
Kind of remember what team he was playing with at
the time. I think it was the forty nine ers.
They beat the Cowboys, and he goes out to the
star at midfield of the Dallas Cowboys field and proceeds to,
you know, hold his arms up in victory there at midfield,
and one of the Cowboys players came out there and
(18:46):
tackled him, and then Emmitt Smith was asked about it
after the game, like, what do you think about your
teammate going out there and tackling Tarrell Owens midfield of
the Cowboys, And Emmitt Smith just said, we Cowboys, you
don't do that on our field. You don't show boat
like that on our field. Yeah. You go out there
(19:07):
and sometimes you're gonna win, sometimes you're gonna lose, you know,
act like that, So that's fine. It got crazy, though,
the police had to pepper spray players from both Michigan
and Ohio State to get him to stop punching each other,
many of them punching each other while still wearing helmets,
which I'll never understand. Really easy to go out there
and get tough and rowdy when you're wearing full pads
(19:29):
and a helmet. All right, Hunter Biden, We'll get to
some of these emails about the Husker lack of handshake
in just a few but Hunter Biden I said several
times President Biden should pardon his son. The way he
pardoned his son though, was just downright infuriating. Though. If
(19:57):
Hunter Biden, if Joe Biden just comes out there and says, yeah,
I think my son, you know, he's he's paid for
his crime here, this crime being the federal felony, gun
and tax convictions. He's paid for that more publicly than
anyone else has ever had charges like this. His time
has already long past served on a lot of the stuff.
(20:19):
This all happened years and years ago. In fact, he
didn't have to say any of that. He just like,
he's my son, you know, basically, just take the here's
your eighties movie reference for this segment of the radio program.
He's my son coming to America. Just basically just take that,
(20:40):
you know, he's my son, Lion King, same voice, different movie,
Young Simba.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I thought you had to have served some time before
you could be pardoned. You had to serve some of
your sentence.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Hmmm, it's his song.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I thought you had to be sentenced.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
You're right. If President Biden had just said, I have
an opportunity that I think a lot of fathers would take.
Here my son has I'm pardoning my son. It's my son.
I'm like, all right, I move on. But the way
that he's pardoned his son is absolutely infuriating. We will
(21:23):
discuss this next.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Scott Bodes, where You're going? News Radio eleven ten Kfab.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Mike emails Scott at kfab dot com and the Zunker's
custom was inbox and says coach Matt Ruhle didn't address
it because it's a big nothing burger. This whole handshake
thing is completely consumed far too much oxygen than it
should have. I've never heard so many people complain and
(21:50):
moan about it all week and long. That's from Mike,
sent to Scott atkfab dot com. We got a a
similar view here unsigned that says I am incredulous over
the faux embarrassment by a few Husker fans who feel
(22:12):
a handshake before a game is contrary to Husker Nation expectations.
While I sat on the stands during the Wisconsin football game,
when an Athletic Department sponsored chest pounding news blurb came
across Husker Vision touting the Husker basketball victory over the
Creighton Blue Jays the previous evening, the applause in the
cheering slash jeering by Husker fans was contemptuous, Yet thousands
(22:38):
of Jaster fans in the stands were subjected to this
unnecessary abuse. When Creighton does defeat Husker volleyball, which has
been extremely close in recent years, Blue Jay Nation will
be much classier in avoiding such animosity toward its neighbor
institution that contributes a conservative twenty five percent of Husker
athletic department budget. First of all, good luck and anyone
(23:05):
beating Husker volleyball. I know Penn State managed over the weekend,
but very few people do. Creighton volleyball is fantastic. They've
got a lot to be proud of, and I imagine
that sometime they will beat Nebraska volleyball. Hasn't happened yet.
Nebraska basketball occasionally manages to outperform Creighton basketball, maybe because
(23:28):
Nebraska basketball has got a heck of a team this year.
In fact, Charles' email says the Huskerman broke the century
mark yesterday for the first time in years. The last
time Nebraska scored one hundred points against a Division One
opponent was in a four overtime loss to NC State
that was December first. To twenty twenty one, Huscars are
six and one to start the season. I'm pretty stoked.
(23:50):
That's from Charles and Lincoln. Yeah, Nebraska football team had
a good start to the season. Let's just wait until
we get to Big Ten Conference play before we start
unfurling the championship banners. But yeah, I am excited by
what I see from Nebraska basketball as well. But to
the emailer earlier saying he saw the congratulations to the
(24:13):
men's basketball team beating Creighton last night, Creighton's got a
nationally ranked program. I don't know if they're still nationally
ranked based on a couple of losses here to start
the season, but by the end of the season, I
think that they'll make it another run, hopefully at the
sweet sixteen. They're a really good program. For Nebraska to
(24:35):
pull off an upset win over Creighton is something to
be proud of. And when you're saying that you were
hearing cheering there and took it as jeering. Of course,
Nebraska is going to say, hey, the basketball team beat
a ranked opponent last night. It doesn't matter if it's
Creighton or Purdue. We beat a good opponent. It's going
to be featured during the football game the next day.
(24:57):
He congratulation the men's basketball team. They just did this,
and everyone's say, hey, I think that you're taking it wrong.
I think you're making it more than it is. Most
people are some element of Jayskers we have no problem
rooting for both teams. It's conflicted and we want to
(25:19):
see a good game when they play each other in
basketball or volleyball, but or baseball. Now, regarding the handshake,
we got this email, says dear Scott with COVID nineteen
cases on the rise. It's pretty obvious why they didn't
shake hands. They would have had to violate the six
foot social distancing rule to do so. Signed Karen Whitey mcmiddle,
(25:41):
aged liberal white woman face ps hunter did nothing wrong. Also,
the rich need to pay their fair share. Thank you, Karen.
I appreciate that email Scott kfab dot com and another
mix of the topics only says Matt Rule is not
responding yet. He's waiting for Joe Biden to pardon the
(26:04):
captain's thank you. Let's let's talk about what President Biden
did yesterday.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
You have a great audience today.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Oh yeah, today, he always always yeah. Good. Save Lucy.
A reflection of your being here when you're not here,
the emails aren't this good. Oh, frankly, it's it's you.
They want to step it up a little bit when
you were here.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
All right, I'll start sending him on the days I'm
off to.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Now, let's see here. Joe Biden had said previously he
would not pardon the son, and the summer of twenty
twenty three, the White House Press Secretary Kareem Janti Prue
Maru says, Joe Biden gonna Hunt, gonna pardon his son Hunter.
She said no, And then if someone tried to ask
a follow up question, she says, I just said no.
(26:53):
I just answered your question, like, all right, I guess
we're not allowed to have a give and take here.
But so it had been that clear President Biden would
not pardon his son. I said several times, I don't
care if he pardons his son. It's his son. Yeah,
(27:13):
We're all like, hey, sometimes tough love is the best way.
If Hunter Biden hasn't learned his lesson by now, is
this adult who has been unleashed on the world thanks
to his father. And I have also blamed his dad
(27:33):
for this. When you know that your son has a
problem with drug and alcohol and female abuse, by that,
I mean improper relationships and kids that you may or
may not claim. When you know that your son has
these issues, you don't say, hey, son, I got a
(27:55):
great opportunity for you, you know, being that you're my son,
this would be a great chance for you to travel
the world as an international playboy and sit on these
boards and make a bunch of money and talk with
world leaders in our adversarial nations like Russia and China.
You'll have basically as much money as you ever want,
and you'll be going to all corners of the globe
(28:16):
just you know, blank checks for whatever it is. But
your behavior once when when you know you have a
son who has these problems, that's probably not the best
way to handle it. Still, on the gun charge and
the tax convictions, I said, I don't care if President
(28:36):
Biden pardons his son. He should pardon his son. But
then the way that he did it. In this statement yesterday,
President Biden said, from the day I took office, I
said I would not interfere with the Justice Department's decision making.
And I kept my word even as I have watched
my son being selectively and unfairly prosecut cuted. And then
(29:02):
it just goes on to my political opponents initiated an
attack on my family to try and get it. So
now suddenly there's there's no acceptance of responsibility.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Well, we'll Wait, is he also saying that there is
a problem with a judicial system.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yes, huh yeah, I know, President Trump. I haven't gotten
to his response yet. We'll table that for a moment.
But he then the not only did he say like,
you know, this is all unfair. Okay, so your son didn't,
you know, violate federal gun Well, he didn't pay his
(29:44):
taxes the way he's supposed to. Hey, if you think
your son's innocent, then please let the proceedings continue. Let's
see how this plays out. Why pardon someone who is
innocent and pure as the driven snow. But suddenly it's
you know, this is all you know, trumped up charges
here in political stuff. And I let the Justice Department
(30:06):
do its job. It's your justice department. And he even
said something like, you know, there was a carefully negotiated
plea deal agreed to by the Department of Justice, Your
Department of Justice. Your Department of Justice gave him this
sweetheart deal that no one other than someone whose last
name is Biden could have possibly received. And then to
(30:29):
suddenly say I'm not only pardoning my son, but this
pardon applies to any and all offenses that Hunter Biden
may or may not have committed between December one of
twenty twenty four that's yesterday and January first of twenty fourteen. Now,
(30:51):
suddenly that brings into question the real meat of the
issue that so many people were saying. How in the
world does someone who barely knows anything about inflating his
tires properly or turning on a light switch suddenly get
this really cushy job sitting on the board of an
(31:12):
energy company that operates in Ukraine as puppeteers of the
Russian regime with ties to China, where you're talking to
people in Russia and China and there are all these
interesting conversations about money for the big guy and all
the rest of the stuff. Why in the world would
(31:33):
you get that job when all anyone knows about you
as what you are, a drug out addict and an alcoholic,
a serial playboy, someone who is not responsible, someone who
is not reliable, someone who has no business serving on
the board of an energy company. But for the access
(31:56):
that Russia and China might have to the Biden and
Obama administration. You're telling me, hunter Biden got that job
on his own. You're telling me there wasn't any untoward access,
granted money paid. Joe Biden went over to Ukraine and
made Ukraine fire the pro Ukrainian prosecutor looking into the
(32:21):
Russian backed Barisma Energy company where Hunter Biden was a
board member, and said we're going to withhold usaid until
you fire that prosecutor. And Biden bragged about it, saying, well,
son of a gun, only he said a dirtier word,
son of a gun. They fired the prosecutor. You're telling
(32:43):
me that this wasn't a Russia China leaning a hunter
to get to Joe Biden situation. And suddenly the pardon
exists for any and all crimes may or may not
have been committed by Hunter Biden. Going back to January first,
twenty fourteen. This is this is so ugly. He didn't
(33:05):
have to say any of this stuff. And most people
don't care. Well I do. I was the one saying, look,
Joe Biden wants to pardon the son on the gun
and the tax convictions and those charges. Do it. It's
your kid. But then to start doing all this stuff,
and Hunter Biden released a statement and basically said the
(33:27):
same thing. Oh, you know, I'm trying to do better
in my life. Even though all these political convictions and unnecessity.
You know, Like, dude, just when you get in and
out of the White House, try and pick up as
much cocaine on your way out of the White House
as you brought into the White House. That's really all
you got to do. If you're bringing a bunch of
(33:47):
cocaine to the White House, try and leave the White
House with as much cocaine as you brought in. You
can't just leave it lying around. You know, it's your
one job and you can't even do that. This whole
thing stinks, But this will probably be the end of it.
I don't think Trump. And that's the funny thing. If
(34:08):
Trump suddenly comes in there and says, no, no, we're
I don't care what Joe just did with Hunter. We
are looking into what Russia and China did with access
to the United States through this drug addict Hunter Biden,
and we're looking at Joe Biden. Then people would say, oh,
(34:28):
it's a political witch hunt. You know. Trump's has said
he doesn't want the Department of Justice to be used
as a political battering ram, and look what he's doing
to the former president. They would have said that anyway,
maybe we should all just move forward. I don't know
this whole We didn't do anything wrong, like Hunter, Just
(34:52):
shut your face. Why are you releasing a statement at all?
Just try and remember how many kids you have and
figure out what you're going to get him for Christmas,
all your kids, even the ones you don't claim. That's
all you have to do. Right now. Shut up. I'll
tell you what else. President Trump said about all this.
Next Scott Byes regarding the pardoning of Hunter Biden, President
(35:16):
Trump responded and said, did the parton given by Joe
to Hunter include the j six hostages who have now
been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of justice?
I mean that's Lucy. You made a comment to that
effect a little bit earlier, saying, oh, does this apply
(35:37):
to the January six people? If we're just you know,
charging people by you know, a political witch hunt, what
about these people who have in some instances been in
jail or had their lives ruined because they followed seventeen
other people into the Capitol building and just wandered around
and didn't do anything. Well, I don't know. I mean,
(36:00):
if you're saying, well, this gives this gives Trump the
license to pardon the Jay six Ers. Yeah, he would
have the ability to do that, but he's not going
to be free from immunity of being destroyed by the
media for doing it. Joe will be free from immunity
from being destroyed by the media for doing this. But
that's not really what it's all about. Trump's got a
(36:22):
couple of other problems on his hands. People hate cash Patel.
This is the president ELECTX pick to lead the FBI.
People are like, but this guy hates the FBI. Yes,
Why is anyone surprised that Trump would pick someone who
wants to turn the FBI away from what it has
(36:45):
been a politically motivated witch hunt piece to go after
and pretty much exclusively seemingly go after Trump, starting back
in the Obama administration by wire tapping his campaign, And
then you had the the Peter and Lisa saga of
(37:07):
basically admitting, yeah, we've identified the suspect. Now we're just
going to find or manufacture a crime. The Russian collusion,
all of this junk. So yeah, Trump is pretty jazz
by this guy who has said several times that the
(37:28):
FBI headquarters should be raised and converted into a museum
for the deep state. People are like, he's going to
destroy the FBI. I don't think he's literally going to
knock down the FBI headquarters and turn it into a museum.
But he even wrote a book says government gangsters, the
(37:51):
deep State, the Truth and the Battle for our Democracy.
He said there needs to be a comprehensive house cleaning
of the Justice Department. So the same people who hate
Trump and anyone who's near him hate cash Ptel In
other news, today is Monday. But this other would be
(38:14):
a pointee issue that's popped up here. This is a
little different. It comes back to Pete Hegseth. Pete hag Seth,
as I'm sure you remember as Trump's nominee for Secretary
of Defense. He's been a longtime Fox News host, a
commentator on that network, and before that had a decorated
(38:36):
military career. But he also has a bit of a
mess in his private life. And now we have here
from the New York Times. They got their hands on
a letter or an email written by Penelope Hegseeth, Pete
(38:57):
Hegseeth's mom. How in the world with the New York
Times have a letter or is this a letter or
an email? I thought it was an email, but this
is now saying letter a couple of times. Either way,
how in the world would The New York Times have
(39:20):
any kind of correspondence between Pete Hegsett's mom and Pete
unless one of his ex wives got her hands on
it and then handed it over to the media to
try and embarrass her former husband. The letter is pretty embarrassing.
It was in twenty eighteen. There was a twenty seventeen
(39:44):
sexual assault allegation against Pete, and the allegation also has
to do with his being involved with another woman. He's
now getting a divorce from his second wife. The whole
thing is an absolute mess. His mom weighs in Allegedly,
(40:06):
according to The New York Times, the letter said, on
behalf of all the women, and I know it's many
you have abused in some way. I say, get some
help and take an honest look at yourself. I have
no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps
(40:27):
around and uses women for his own power and ego.
You are that man and have been for years, and
as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to
say that, but it is the sad, sad truth. Son.
I've tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior,
but after listening to the way you made your ex
(40:49):
wife feel today, I cannot stay silent. She did not
ask for or deserve any of what has come to
her by your hand. Neither did your previous wife, who
cited infidelity during their divorce in two thousand and nine.
She says, it's time for someone. I wish it was
(41:11):
a strong man to stand up to your abusive behavior
and call it out, especially against women. We still love you,
but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. Unquote, boy,
I feel filthy even relating this to you on this
(41:33):
radio program. I feel dirty seeing this dirty laundry here
in this family. Now, for her part in this, mom
Penelope hag Seth is now trying to walk back some
of this letter.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
Ah, okay, he is just going to ask, just just
real quick. Yeah, let's pretend we're ten or fifteen years
in the future and your son is a terrible person
that you raised. Would you ever throw him under the
bus like this politically and nationally.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
And well, first of all, my son's a terrible human being. Now, okay,
I mean the guy we're like, son, when you leave
a room all you got to do is look around
the room, to scan the room and say, oh, I
left a cup over there, I left a plate over there,
I left a bowl over there, and just pick it
up and put it in the dishwasher. We're not asking
(42:30):
you to move heaven and Earth, just to tidy up
after yourself. When your clothes are done in the dryer,
get him out of the dryer, take them up to
your room. They don't just go on the floor. You
got to fold them up. You got to put them
in your drawers, You got to hang them up.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
Including now you're asking a lot, including.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Your new basketball jersey that you worked so hard to
make this team, and they gave you a basketball jersey
and it doesn't just get wadded up on the floor
there in your room. You worked hard for that. Show
it some respect. Can my son do any of this? No,
because he's a terrible human being, But even.
Speaker 3 (43:13):
That stuffs as mild as oh mild. Well, it's not
going to change anybody. His life is not gonna hurt anybody.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
It doesn't get any worse than this. But I think
what you said on the other side of that was,
would you, you know, highlight all this for political game.
The mom seemingly didn't make this letter public. Somehow the
New York Times got their hands on was sent to Pete,
so he didn't release it, and mom didn't release it,
you know that. I'm why wouldn't Why in the world
(43:42):
would he release it?
Speaker 3 (43:42):
Why would she write it?
Speaker 2 (43:46):
Because well, well.
Speaker 3 (43:48):
He would he not talk to her, And that's the
kind of conversation.
Speaker 2 (43:52):
Hang on, hang on, And now I got another thing
here saying this was all email, which makes it See
if it was a letter, then I thought probably the
ex wife got her hands on it, and she's like,
you know what, screw that guy.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
And I understand that New York Times, I understand that feeling.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
So she didn't release any of this for political There
was nothing political about this email. When she wrote this
to her son. I think what you were really or
what I what I'd hoped that you were asking, was
it's fifteen years from now and my son is a
serial philanderer and uh, you know, just jumping from relationship
(44:36):
to relationship with no regard, treating women like dirty kleenex,
you know, chip off the old block. So would my
wife be so upset by that behavior that she would
reach out to him in any way, and sometimes a
letter or an email something you actually have to sit
(44:56):
there and read. Would she do that? Yes? By any
means necessary. You try and reach out to your kid,
and sometimes it hurts. I don't know how many of
us have seen in families. Maybe you've been the subject
of this. Maybe it's been you issuing the concern and
(45:18):
you've tried aiety. This isn't like, hey, this is the
first time I'm talking to you about this. This is
a we've tried everything, and now we're gonna take it
personal and we're gonna make this sting a little bit.
You need to have a mirror held up. Do you
I'm your mom and I love you, and I'm gonna
tell you like it is, even if you don't want
(45:40):
to hear it, because you need to hear this. Do
I respect her for doing this? I could see talking
to my own kids like this. I really hope I
don't have to so, But what if.
Speaker 3 (45:54):
It's not true? Now? I am sure that there is
some truth to this, maybe all of it. I'm sure
that there is some truth to this. But do we
let this guy have a chance to speak? And did
you not as were you an absentee? Parent. Were you
not there at all? Were you not any part of
his life growing up? Because if you were any part
(46:16):
of his life, then you have to have you have
to have some you know, wait a minute, you might
not have done anything to make him like this, but
you might have done something to keep him from being
like that.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
Okay, I think there's a different dynamic here that we're
failing to address. Okay, the now, look, this is gonna
sound absolutely terrible to some people, and some people will
hear it and just nod their heads and go, yep, Scott,
you nailed it. Because it affects different people in different ways.
(46:52):
But when you have someone who has seen military service,
including combat dynamics, normal relationships, normal behavior, there's so much
of that goes by the wayside. Unfortunately, what you see
in relationships tried to help by people who have been
(47:13):
through military combat situations. There's no such thing as normal
every day just isn't. Now for some people have managed
to do that amazing some people haven't. And this is
I think not an example of how mom raised him.
(47:35):
I think this probably has to do with his military
background in life.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
So as a young man eighteen seventeen eighteen, he didn't
show any aspect of being a serial cheater. And I
don't remember what else she accused him.
Speaker 2 (47:53):
Well, she's not accusing him of she's not accusing you.
Speaker 3 (47:56):
She's telling him that he is.
Speaker 2 (47:58):
No she's she does. She's accusing him of belittling, lying, cheating,
sleeping around, and using women for his own power and ego.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
And you think it's at least possible that that was
learned behavior after he went into the service. I know
you're not saying confirmed, but you think it's at least
possible that he didn't act like this before he went.
Speaker 2 (48:16):
He was probably possible. He was probably a smarmy teenager
who didn't really think it much about long term relationships
as a seventeen and eighteen year old. But because very
few guys do.
Speaker 3 (48:26):
He treated girls badly at sixteen and seventeen. If this
is true, you don't just decide one day that you're
going to be mean to women or whatever.
Speaker 2 (48:37):
You're right, his mom should not be Department of Defense secretary.
I don't know what you're saying right now. Do you
want to hear what she says now about this letter?
Speaker 3 (48:44):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (48:45):
This email. She says that she sent her son an
apologetic follow up email immediately after sending that one, which
she said she'd written in anger and with emotion. She
said it was disgusting that The Times had published the email,
and insisted that the slams she'd made against her son
weren't true. She said, it's never been true. I know
(49:06):
my son. He is a good father and a good husband.
Speaker 3 (49:09):
Well, yes, wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (49:11):
Very different than this. Are we missing the bigger picture?
Which I'm surprised that you're not. Don't say harping on
because that sounds sexist that you're not pointing out. And
that is how in the world did the New York
Times get a private email between mom and son that
was sent in twenty eighteen. We just talked about the
(49:32):
weaponization of the Department of Justice and the FBI.
Speaker 3 (49:35):
Hundred percent hacking.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
We just talked about all this, And that's not the
first thing you key in on how in the.
Speaker 3 (49:42):
World, Because all the whole time I'm sitting here, the
first thing I thought of was I was always taught
never write anything down that you don't want somebody else
to see. And when you're talking about emails, of course
I clued in on that because if when you said
she wrote it to her private email whatever. As soon
as you said email there, it is.
Speaker 2 (50:06):
Why in the world would they have this? You can
the New York Times because they looked for everything, the FBI,
the Department of Justice. They can just pull up any email,
deliver it to The New York Times, and it's subject
for being published.
Speaker 3 (50:19):
Yes, they may not be able to do that legally,
but they do. They can do that.
Speaker 2 (50:24):
Horrifying. That's horrifying, And.
Speaker 3 (50:26):
You're just now just realizing this is possible.
Speaker 2 (50:30):
No, I think that this is something we go back to.
The J sixers hold up as an example as whatever
it is that you're accusing Pete Hegseith of being a
bad husband.
Speaker 3 (50:42):
I well, there's lots of bad husbands out there.
Speaker 2 (50:44):
Yeah, And I don't know that that would preclude you
from being Secretary of Defense. It just does. I'm not
looking to hire this guy to marry my daughter. We're
looking for someone who can lead the Defense department. The
Defense department is a messy job. Maybe you get someone
(51:05):
who's got a messy but I don't know. As far
as I'm concerned. I wouldn't marry the guy for a
few reasons. One of them is I'm not gay. Also,
I'm already married, but you know I wouldn't marry the guy.
But I don't know that any of this precludes him
from being Secretary of Defense. What I think everyone should
(51:27):
look at here is not the scandalous nature of private
email from mom to son, but why in the world
are we now privy to it. That's disgusting. That's more
disgusting than any of the behavior that his mom was
angry about six years ago. Scott atkfab dot com, you
(51:48):
can send me an email. I think it's probably known
that if you email this radio show, your email might
get read on the radio. I think that we know
that now. If you want to send a private email
to your mom and not include me on it, there's
no way I should ever read that unless your mom
shares it with me. But she didn't say anything about
(52:11):
that last night.
Speaker 1 (52:12):
Scott Boyes News Radio eleven KFAB.
Speaker 2 (52:17):
Couldn't help it, all right, Lucy, I I feel like
we got into a heated disagreement in the last segment,
and I'm ready for you to apologize for your role
in that.
Speaker 3 (52:28):
Was it.
Speaker 2 (52:30):
Were you gonna was it was?
Speaker 3 (52:34):
I didn't think it was heated, No, I was just
I was just passionate about what I was saying.
Speaker 2 (52:44):
Well, I think what you were saying is throwing a
lot of parents under the bus for raising their kids
correctly and then their kids go off course because that happens.
Not every person who has some trouble adulting can blame
that on parents. I got every single time.
Speaker 3 (53:01):
But I think you could. If you examine the relationship
between him and his mother, you might find some interesting stuff.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
Well don't. I don't know that.
Speaker 3 (53:14):
Of course I don't know it either. I'm simply saying
I agree with you. Yes, you can do everything right
that you possibly know to raise kids, and they're still
gonna some of them are still going to end up
screwed up. And then you can do everything wrong and
they could end up perfectly great kids.
Speaker 1 (53:33):
Now here's the part of the show where Lucy says
she's glad she doesn't have kids, But I was one.
Speaker 3 (53:39):
You still are, and I was raised with parents that
were challenge Yeah, sometimes by me.
Speaker 2 (53:51):
I just think that the New York Times finding and
publishing a private email between mom and son from twenty eighteen,
that's that's what should be keyed in on, you know,
as the as the American people in the twenty twenty
four elections said we're tired of this deep state, which
(54:13):
hunt behavior from the Department of Justice, the FBI and
their willing sick of fans in the media and and on,
you know, the Biden administration and other Democrats. We're tired
of all of this. And one of the first things
that happens after the American people say, look, all of
(54:34):
this behavior is disgusting. The you know, the wire tapping
of the Trump campaign, the Russian collusion, some of what
happened with the COVID nonsense, and all of the rest
of this stuff. And apparently the Department of Justice, the
FBI and the media all get together and say, wow,
the American people just say they don't like this behavior,
(54:57):
and we have to hear an email from a mom
to a son. We can uncover that and publish that
in the New York Times from six years ago. Yeah,
let's do that. The American people seem to like that
kind of like, did you not hear the American people
in this election? And I don't know that it has
anything to do with the affair Dan emails and the
(55:18):
Zonker's custom woods inbox. Scott at kfab dot com. Didn't
this same Democrat party want Kamala didn't she have an affair?
Speaker 3 (55:27):
I think that's that that is a really valid point
because if you look back at the personal lives of
ninety five percent of politicians, you are going to find
not great behavior. I mean, you're you're gonna find not
great behavior if you look at the general public, probably
ninety five percent. But that's that's politics. We don't like it.
(55:51):
We don't have to engage in it, we don't have
to listen to it. But that's politics, and that's what
gets people listening. That's for the New York Times, that's
what gets people to buy their publication or click on
their site. If we based our vote on everything has
(56:12):
to be one hundred percent puritanical. You've never done anything wrong,
you've never treated anybody badly. First of all, i'd be
a great government. I'd love it. It also wouldn't happen.
You can't. You can't do that.
Speaker 2 (56:28):
I said this a lot that you know, people are like, well,
I don't like Trump. You know, I think that he's
got some flaws in his private life. Yeah you think so,
don't marry the guy. But he's going into the sludge
fest that is politics. It's disgusting, and he's willing to
go wide himself into that that sea of sludge on
(56:52):
behalf of the American people. You know, clean people don't
want to go in there and get dirty. Trump's like,
I'm perfectly at home in here. Let's go and let's
trying and clean it up. That's kind of how this works,
all right. Up next, the results of how voter ID
worked or didn't work in Nebraska. We've got that for you.
(57:13):
I mentioned COVID a moment ago because we have some
statistics about how many people are keeping up on their
COVID boosters this COVID and flu season. We'll get to
all this after a Fox News update.
Speaker 1 (57:25):
Next, Scott Voice News Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (57:30):
The New York Times publishing a private email from Pete
Hegseth's mom to Pete from twenty eighteen while he's in
the midst of his second divorce. Allegations of infidelity in
both of his divorces, and mom let him know that
she was disappointed in him. And The New York Times
is like, hey, let's publish this email, and I'm saying
(57:52):
we have the twenty twenty four election was basically a
rebuke of this deep state swamp of the f the
Department of Justice, and the media doing things like this. So,
after seeing what the people of America said in these elections,
the deep state in the media said, let's find an email.
Let's find a private email from a guy's mom from
(58:15):
twenty eighteen. Track that down simply because he's one of
Trump's appointees. Here in this instance, Pete Hegseth has been
nominated to run the secretary of the Defense Department, and
let's publish this email. Mom said the email was written
in anger, with a lot of emotion, and she sent
a follow up email apologizing to her son. I think
(58:38):
she's obvious that she wanted her son to act better
and she was still trying to parent her adult son.
I just can't believe we're reading all of this don
emails in the Zonker's custom woods inbox. Scott at kfab
dot com said, were you just as upset Scott when
the private misbehavior of Hunter Biden was made public? At
(59:01):
least Hunter was never nominated to be Secretary of Defense,
I I said several times, I as far as some
of these the private situation of Hunter Biden with drug
use and abuse of women and so forth. I don't
care what the guy does. He's not the president of
(59:22):
the United States. Now when you put that guy in
connection with a Russian energy company with ties to China,
and suddenly it looks like he's funneling money and influence
to the Obama Biden Whitehouse. Yeah, that stuff that needs
to come to light, and still really hasn't, not in
a way that would make me happy. So as far
(59:46):
as the private misbehavior, the Hunter Biden laptop and all
the rest of that stuff, I didn't spend a lot
of time talking about it on this show. To your
point though about it, at least Hunter was never nominated to
be Secretary of Defense. There are some people on the
military saying, you know, some of the behavior that Pete
Hegseth is being tagged with here, if I engage in
(01:00:09):
this as just an enlisted member of the military, this
is a problem for me. That might mean me being
expelled from the military. Yet he would be the Department
of Defense secretary. That I'm not in a position to
make that argument, as I've not served our country in
the military, but some people have said as much. That's
(01:00:34):
an interesting thought. But I also would say, if you're
waiting to find that perfect person to come down off
a cloud and serve in any politician's cabinet, please don't
hold your breath. Your head will explode. Marry emails and says,
(01:00:55):
I agree with your last reasoning for Pete Heggsa's behavior,
as I said, sadly, the lack of being able to
carry through on some relationships is common in military, especially
for those who have seen combat. She says, I agree
with your reasoning that perhaps his behavior partially contributed. It
(01:01:18):
could be contributed to his service in combat. War's impact
on a person can certainly affect a young man. It
taints relationships. He needs some grace. His mother isn't so
grace either, or isn't so great either, right, see how
anger causes problems. Ah Lucy with a smug look on
her face on that one.
Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
That's smug. I didn't I would not call this smug.
Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
I didn't see that email as being a problem. I
saw the publishing and coming to light from a creepy
deep state situation. I saw that being a problem. I mean,
it's not like he put all this stuff on a
laptop and then gave it to some computer repair company
New York, and the guy said, uh, hey, this laptop's
(01:02:03):
been sitting here for years and it belongs to the
president's son.
Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
And along that thread, I would also agree with you
one of your emailers that no, I don't think that
anybody should have to put up with this kind of
private information out there.
Speaker 2 (01:02:16):
No. Well, Mary says it shouldn't affect his appointment, although
I'd like to hear his comment on all of it.
That is, that's from Mary, said Scott kfab dot com.
Regarding pardoning Hunter Biden, Scott says, I thought Biden already
pardoned the turkey before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (01:02:36):
Twice.
Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
Yeah. I saw that that news story last week and said, yeah,
peaches and cream are going to the White House, and
like the presidents having strippers over to the white Didn't
I realize those are the names of the turkeys or whatever?
It was? All right? Hey, we had an election in
Nebraska last month, and this was the first election in
Nebraska that had voter ID. The Nebraska examiners got a review.
(01:03:00):
Looking at the numbers here from the Secretary of State's office.
The ballots of three hundred and forty five people weren't
counted in Nebraska's first general election under a new requirement
that you have to present a picture ID to be
able to vote. Three hundred and forty five people out
of about nine hundred and sixty five thousand ballots cast
as well.
Speaker 3 (01:03:20):
Where did they come from? Wow? Did they get a
ballot without showing ID? Or were these mail ins that
they didn't include the information you needed to include in it?
Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
Good question? No, not that, because they said in this
story here from the Nebraska Examiner said, for comparison's sake,
election officials rejected more than six hundred and fifty early
voting ballots statewide because voters failed to sign the envelope,
which you need to do. I wonder how many races
were so close. They're like six hundred and fifty people
(01:03:55):
voted early, which could mean that they were more Democratic leaning.
Maybe I would go on some of them and maybe
i'd be you know, who knows?
Speaker 3 (01:04:03):
So invalid IDs? Maybe?
Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
Yeah, no, they just didn't sign the envelope.
Speaker 3 (01:04:08):
No, no, no, no, the three fifty four, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:04:11):
Three hundred and forty five people. I wonder if they
showed up to vote and didn't have a picture.
Speaker 3 (01:04:19):
ID, they wouldn't give you a ballot.
Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
It might have been a provisional I don't know, that's
a good question. But they said, really, three hundred and
forty five people not counted out of nine hundred and
sixty five thousand ballots cast. That what they say is, see,
this just goes to show you that people have not
been voting illegally, or maybe it goes to show you
(01:04:46):
that only three hundred and forty five people tried to
vote illegally, and it would have been thousands more but
for the knowledge that you had to have a picture
ID to be able to vote. So let's look at
the numbers. How many more? And they said, you know
all this stuff about well, we don't know how many
people didn't vote, because like, I'd like to vote, but
(01:05:06):
I've been disenfranchised. I don't have an ID. You could
have requested an ID. You had months to be able
to do this. So they said, well, we don't know
how many people chose not to vote because they lacked ID,
or because they faced pushback at the polls for what,
(01:05:29):
or because you know this or that. Well, roughly three
thousand plus more people voted in twenty twenty four than
in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (01:05:41):
I think that's going to be across the board any
in any state, any jurisdiction, any precinct. It more people voted.
Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
It doesn't look like anybody it was was sitting around
there going I don't have a picture, I d I
can't vote, don't know. I don't know about these three
hundred and forty five people. I imagine that they have
picture IDs. They just didn't bring them to go vote,
and they thought, I'm not going to go home and
(01:06:10):
get my ID and come back and vote. I really
don't care that much.
Speaker 3 (01:06:13):
But that is saying that the election Commission is taking
is paying attention to who didn't vote. Yeah, writing that down,
making records. Three hundred and forty five people were told No,
that's a good question.
Speaker 2 (01:06:27):
It says when it says, it doesn't say that three
hundred and forty five people were told they couldn't vote.
It said their ballots weren't counted. Now, I wonder if
this was early voting where they didn't show a picture
of their ID. That's probably it mail in, because you
would it's what.
Speaker 3 (01:06:45):
I suggested first. But you said that they have a
different count for the mail ins.
Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Yeah, but it's those are the mail ins that didn't
get counted because they failed to sign the envelope. But
it occurs to me that maybe they didn't. Maybe they
signed the envelope and these other ones but just failed
to present a picture of their picture ID. Even though
it says very clearly that you have to do this,
(01:07:10):
some people can't follow instructions. Three hundred and forty five
of them out of nine hundred and sixty five thousand
ballots cast now COVID numbers. It's immunization season. Got to
get all your shots. How many people are not staying
(01:07:32):
up to date on their COVID boosters. I'll tell you next.
Scott doug says, more proof. We don't teach the importance
of sportsmanship. We don't teach that the camera's on you
and you will be judged. It doesn't matter what's fair
or not when you're under the microscope microscope. When you
put on that uniform, you no longer represent yourself. You
now represent a team, a brand, a legacy, and as
(01:07:54):
such your actions matter. That email from dougsent to Scott
at kfab dot com. I still like the sarcastic email
that said the players didn't shake hands because they were
concerned about social distancing, which brings us to the new
numbers on how many of you are keeping up on
your COVID shots. It is the immunization season, Go get
(01:08:15):
your flu shot, and while you're there, get your COVID
shot and all the rest of this stuff. Only according
to the CDC, only about thirty seven percent of adults
aged eighteen and over have received their flu shot, And
of thirty seven percent of US adults have gotten their
flu shot, only nineteen percent of that group has gotten
their updated COVID vaccine. Could be they just haven't gotten
(01:08:38):
to it yet, could be they're not going to And
it says for children those figures are even lower, just
under nine percent for a COVID booster nine percent of parents.
I don't know what is going on with their kids
or what their doctors are saying, but they're getting their
kids these COVID shots. It says also that a lot
(01:09:04):
of Americans feel it's more safe to get COVID than
to get vaccinated. I again, talk to your doctor, don't
listen to all the rest of the stuff. But I
also would look at so what's going on in society
at your internet. Yeah, look what's going on in society,
(01:09:26):
and go what seems to be happening. Less people are
dying of COVID aka being hooked up to unnecessary ventilators
way too early in the process. Is that happening more often?
The Morgue's full herd immunity is real. All right, I'll
let Clay and Buck take it from here. They're coming
up next.
