Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The President decided not to evaporate a civilization overnight. And
let me tell you this right here, off of the
off of this this giant bat I bring in here
to NewsRadio eleven to ten KFAB every single day, there
are a number of people in America who are highly

(00:20):
disappointed that the President didn't commit what they thought was
going to be genocide. This came down to the President
announcing yesterday an entire civilization will be wiped out unless
what's left of the Iranian leaders come to the negotiating
table and decide to do what the Americans and the

(00:42):
Israelis are telling them to do, stop trying to build
nuclear weapons and let the oil tankers through the straight
of horror moves aka the blank and straight. Really, it's
it's not too much to ask. What we don't want
is for you to build weapons to kill us, and
we don't want you to hold up the oil. You
think you can find it in your heart to not

(01:04):
do those things. And finally, what's left of the Iranian leadership,
both in number and in extremities, said all right, we'll we'll,
we'll do some of this stuff. And then they fired
off like three rockets at Tel Aviv, Israel. I don't
know what what's the How do you and Farses say

(01:24):
cease fire? Maybe there's a there's a gap there. But
here in America there are people who are very disappointed.
I think that they were actively in their hearts rooting
for what they thought was going to be genocide in Iran.
They would have been absolutely fine with hundreds of thousands

(01:47):
of people murdered in Iran if we decided to, as
as a lot of anti Trumpers were saying yesterday, we
were responding to the President's tweet about the truth social
post or whatever you call it on the civilization, we
talked about the forty seven years of the Ayatola regime

(02:09):
in Iran. That civilization, that government structure that murders their
own people, that is trying to wipe Israel and America
off the map as soon as they have the opportunity
to do so, that pays terrorist organizations the world over
to commit atrocities and kill innocent people, that goes after

(02:30):
American military bases, that civilization, the Iranian leadership structure for
the better part of the last five decades, was going
to be wiped out. And also bridges and power plants.
After all, yesterday was bridge day that civilization was what
was being threatened by the President, not murdering innocent people

(02:53):
all over the Ottoman Empire. But of course that's how
people took it. The President is threatening jet acide and
they were all screaming. And I honestly believe that there
are people who hate Trump so much that they wanted
him to do it. They wanted him to drop a

(03:14):
dozen nuclear bombs all over the Middle East, kill millions
of people so they could say, well, see now he's
got to be brought up on war crime charges. He
needs to find a he needs to be in a
prison in the Hague. He needs to be arrested by
the guys in the Blue berets at the United Nations.
He needs to be removed from office. I think they

(03:39):
were rooting for mass casualties just so they could get
Trump out of office. I don't think they cared one
bit about the people in Iran who in that fantastical scenario,
in that liberal wet dream. Let me know if it's
too early on a Wednesday morning to use that phrase.

(03:59):
I don't think they cared one bit about those people.
I think they just wanted Trump out. I don't think
they cared about the twelve hundred people killed in Israel
by terrorist organizations operating under the power and influence and
support of the Iranian regime. They saw that many of
these protesters, these anti anti, anti anti Trumpers, they saw

(04:22):
that as a tremendous opportunity to go harass Jews in
the streets and on college campuses or wherever Jerry Seinfeld
was walking in New York. And they saw this opportunity. Oh,
Trump's gonna Trump's gonna blow up the world. Well, good,
then we'll be rid of Trump. They saw this as
a chance to get rid of him, and they didn't

(04:43):
care how many people died. They just wanted Trump to
be embarrassed. With Lucy Chapman and Craig Evans, I am
Scott for he's Jim Row still out for a couple
more days. He's back on Friday. Thanks again to Gary
Sadelmeyer for hanging out in here with us yesterday on
Nebraska's Morning News. Oh no, I misscarry show. It's on
the podcast link Morning News podcast link at kfab dot com.

(05:06):
We're all here with you on news radio eleven to
ten KFAB. So last night, the President on his truth,
social said a big day for world peace. Iran wants
it to happen. They've had enough. Likewise, so has everyone else.
Well I don't know if the President has ever said
anything more true since thanks for your attention to this matter.

(05:30):
So everyone else has had enough. The United States of
America will be helping with the traffic build up and
the Strait of Horror moves. See he called it the
Strait of Horror moves. He is able to reference that
part of the world without dropping thus far the f
bomb that ended this conflict, or at least two weeks

(05:51):
before we start again. Perhaps, He says. There'll be lots
of positive action. Big money will be made, Iran can
start the reconstruction process. Will be low up with supplies
of all kinds, and just hanging around. He put that
in quotes, just hanging around when he says we're just
hanging around in order to make sure everything goes well.
You know what that means, right, It means big guns, drones, missiles,

(06:15):
whatever it is. They're just we're just staring at you.
We're just hanging around. If you get out of line,
we'll come over and go hey, Bud, Hey Bud, what
you're doing there, looks like you were gonna try and
blow up the oil tanker. Yeah, we saw that. We're
just hanging around. Trump says, I feel confident that everything

(06:36):
will go well, just like we're experiencing in the US.
This could be the Golden Age of the Middle East.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
You know.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
He wants that, right. The President is rooting for that.
He loves seeing development and progress, whether it's in America,
the Middle East, North Korea. That's what he talks about
with these world leaders. He talks to Kim jongg un
and says, Kim, can I call you Kim kimberly. You know,
there's no reason why you can't have electricity at least here.

(07:06):
And once we get electricity, then we can have shows
and golf courses, you know, all the stuff that makes
the civilization really go. Sports bars. Don't you want apps
where you can bet on sports or anything? We can
have these things here in Pyeongyang. Is that how I
pronounce it? The President wants this progress.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Now.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
A moment ago, he passed along a tweet from South
Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham. Graham says, this is passed along
by the commander. Says, I just had a great conversation
with the President. I totally support his ultimatum to the
Iranian regime to open up the straight of horror moves

(07:48):
and to do a peace deal. A massive military operation
awaits Iran if they choose poorly. This regime has been
severely crippled through Operation Epic Fury. Their reign of terror
against the region and the world needs to come to
an end, hopefully through a piece steal. After speaking with

(08:09):
President Trump this morning, I am completely convinced that he
will use overwhelming military force against the regime if they
continue to impede the Strait of Hormuz and refuse a
diplomatic solution to achieve our military objectives. It's not clear
to Iran and others by now, or if it's not
clear to Iran and others by now that President Trump

(08:31):
means what he says, then I don't know when it.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Ever will be.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Choose wisely is Lindsey Graham quoting Indiana Jones in the
Last Crusade? I think he is. I think we've got
to give Senator Graham at ding nice eighties movie reference. Senator,
I appreciate that choose wisely.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Right now, he's got more dings than I do.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Lucy.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
If you've ever seen any of the great movies of
the day, then maybe you could quote them more often.
Right now, I am in for Jim Rose with sports Brief.
It's eleven ten KFAB certified transmission. Sports Brief polls came
out yesterday. Nebraska basketball finishes the year ranked fourteenth, Iowa
is ranked fifteenth. Let the arguments begin, Hey, we beat

(09:17):
you guys. Yep, nice nice fifteenth place finish there, guys,
we're number fourteenth. We're number fourteenth, Iowa state number eight.
They get bragging rights in the region. A great year
for the Huskers. Now we wait and see what's going
on with the transfer portal. We had a couple from
Nebraska in there yesterday, Justin Bollis, forward and guard Quentin Rhymes.

(09:41):
They each entered the transfer portal. Britt Prince on the
women's side recommitted to the Huskers. Creighton has seen a
few players enter the transfer portal yesterday when that opened,
ty Davis, Owen Freeman and Josh Townley Thomas. Nebraska baseball
last night featured the first home loss of the season

(10:02):
to KU five to three, and the number nineteen Huskers
had been on a ten game win streak that snapped
and their coach, manager Will Bolt, got ejected in the
ninth inning.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
Oh, I just think there was a total lack of control.

Speaker 5 (10:16):
I thought that the whole light Umpire was.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
Really kind of was pointing at Clevenger and kind of
making a you know, animated move towards him and their
en tired dugout is basically on the field for every
pitch of the game, and you know that's not supposed
to be allowed. The bench jockeying and those type of things.
But again, at the end of the day, it's about us.

Speaker 6 (10:34):
But I was.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
Protecting our player, and you know.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
That's pretty much the end of it.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Tensions are running high in baseball last night, including in
this game, an interleague game right between no, no, this
was a game betwe Yeah, an interleague game between the
Angels and the Braves.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Just missed the tag, hit the dirt.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
They slip up, Sli Lopez, I don hay Bakers.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
They're going after each other.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Solaria's finally tackled from behind as the Angels and Braves
are all out onto the field.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
That came up out of nowhere. Solaire was upset after
a couple of pitches, we're high and.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
In after I got yet another homer off Loadpez had
a fight.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Pro count just tud up to air. See everyone was
all upset. Last night.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Braves beat the Angels, not just on the field there
and that scuffle between Jorge Solaire and Ronaldo Lopez, but
also in the game. Braves over the Angels seven to two.
Guardians gonna walk off win against the Royals two to one,
Twins beat the Tigers by a score of four to two,
and at the Masters which begins tomorrow. At Augusta National,

(11:52):
Rory McElroy hosted the Champions dinner and he was asked
why didn't you have Irish food?

Speaker 7 (11:58):
People keep asking me white. Didn't you go or Irish?
And I said, because I want to enjoy the dinner
as well.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
No corn, beef and cabbage with a pint of guinness
at the Master's Dinner again, that first major of the
year on the PGA Tour starts tomorrow. Yes, Lucy, there
will be Master's updates. Oh yes, tradition like no other.
Driving Lucy crazy with golf updates. This could be one
of those days where President Trump just feeds the teleprompter

(12:27):
before I talk with Lucy about her wonderful pampered vacation
day yesterday. We have a couple more truth social posts
by the President. He said moments ago. The United States
will work closely with Iran, which we have determined has
gone through what will be a very productive regime change.

(12:50):
There will be no enrichment of uranium, and the United
States will working with Iran, dig up and remove all
of the deeply buried the two bombers nuclear dust. It
is now and has been under very exacting satellite surveillance
space force. Nothing has been touched from the date of attack.

(13:13):
We are and will be taking tariff and sanctions relief
with Iran. Many of the fifteen points have already been
agreed to. Thank you for your attention to this matter
of President Donald J.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Trump.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Probably the biggest news in there is We've determined that
Iran has gone through a very productive regime change, as
we noted yesterday. Do I still have that piece of paper?

Speaker 2 (13:38):
See?

Speaker 1 (13:38):
I always make fun of Gary Satilemayer because Gary every
morning would come in here and print out the Internet
and then just set it to the side. And even
though I'm looking at this going Gary, there's a mountain
of paper. You're never He's like, well, I might need it.
He always knew where everything was and he can always
call upon it. I don't think I still have the
piece of paper that had the the exact title of

(14:02):
the Iranian official who is telling people in Iran we
can't lose our bridges and power plants. I need you
to form a hands across to America kind of human
shield and go out there and protect our power plants
and bridges. And that statement from what was left of
the Iranian regime was from like the Vice Chancellor of

(14:22):
Youth and Adolescents, Supreme Council or something like that, basically
the person in charge of Iran. To put it this way,
if Iran had done to the United States what we
have done to Iran, the statement from the United States,
from the last surviving leadership member here in this country

(14:42):
would be from the guy in charge of the Omaha
Westview YMCA.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
We need people.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
We need the youth to get out of the weight
room and off the basketball court, get out of the pool,
go out there and protect the Bob Carey pedestrian bridge.
That was essentially what we heard from Iran. So I
think the President is probably accurate when he says, we've
determined they've gone through a very productive regime change. To
put that another way, we blew up all the Iatolas

(15:13):
and all the iatolas iatolas and all the iatola's iatola's ayatolas.
We just got another post here from the President. A
country supplying military weapons to Iran will be immediately tariffed
on any and all goods sold to the United States
of America fifty percent effective immediately. There will be no

(15:36):
exclusions or exemptions. President DJT, Well, what country would supply
military weapons to Iran? President right now is taking a
look at Russia. How you guys doing? See what I said, China,
Let's not do anything stupid. North Korea. I don't know

(15:58):
what you guys got up there. A bunch of men's
made of bals of wood or whatever's left. We don't
need you guys goofing things up either. Syria, you get
We're good, right, We're good. So these are some of
these days.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
Are we buying from them this morning?

Speaker 1 (16:14):
No, any country that supplies military weapons to Iran that
would then supply things to America. What are we buying
from China? Everything?

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (16:24):
China?

Speaker 2 (16:24):
You see all that well, I don't know that.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
We get a whole lot from Syria, Okay, but yeah, China,
I get that.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Okay, we get a few things from China I didn't
come to.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Basically, yeah, everything in your pocket, your purse, everything in
your home.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
We get a few things from China.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah, FI tariff proposed, they're threatened by the president. Now, Lucy,
that's just what's happened in the last forty two minutes.
This morning. You miss a day, you miss a lot.
Where were you yesterday?

Speaker 3 (16:56):
Shoveling snow, shoveling ice? That was crazy. I woke up
and saw that and thought, well, I chose a good day.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, it was a little bit of slushy junk there
on the roads. Here we'll we'll give the real reason
why Lucy was gone in just a moment News Radio
eleven to ten kfab so a moment ago, I was
trying to extract from Lucy Chapman personal information. She used
that word, which is I used that word on purpose.
It's difficult to do. Lucy hates providing any kind of

(17:29):
personal information. That's why the running joke for years on
a Monday morning is Lucy, how was your weekend?

Speaker 6 (17:36):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Good?

Speaker 1 (17:37):
I I painted the bathroom. She just made stuff up
because Lucy doesn't like to talk about anything other than
traffic and occasional crazy conspiracy theories.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
That's about right. That checks out.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
But you weren't here yesterday.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Now you know what. And I thought about this, and
you and I talked about it whether I wanted to
talk about it, and yeah, actually I do because this
is something I did not know going on six years ago.
I did not know that root canals they fail.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Root canals fail.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
Root canals fail. And so if you are looking at
getting a root canal, I'm not saying don't because it'll
save the tooth for a while, but they often fail
and mine did and I had to have the tooth pulled.
And I do not recommend no stars.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Zero stars, zero stars on having a tooth extracted.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
Do not recommend.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
That's that sounds painful, especially well, I don't know what
kind of dentists you go to or oral surgeons, but
I mean, I know what happened with the extraction of
the tooth. They tied a piece of yarn to it
and then attached to the other side to a door
handle and then slammed the door. And that's how these
doctors extracted your tooth?

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Big door?

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Are they the same I needed a big door the
same people that did the root canal?

Speaker 3 (19:02):
No? No, and I and I'm not speaking out against
root canals.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
I went to Yeah, well there's a lot of pro
root canal people.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Well, there probably is.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
I think I have one every other Tuesday, just because
you just have to keep in mind that they do fail.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
And and I'm and I like I said, they got
six years, six more years out of that tooth.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Well it didn't fail. It just gave you six more
years of being able to chew on that side. So
Lucy is is minus a tooth. It's uh, and it's
one of the big ones. It's the front top one
on left side, and it's it's the Jack Hughes tooth.
Just tell people as your gold metal tooth. So Lucy
doesn't have a front tooth. No, No, it's one of

(19:47):
the it's back there somewhere.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
It is not a front tooth.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Back there, which row of shark teeth has lost a
tooth there? Lucy's got two rows of teeth like a shark.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Yeah, it was the it was the second row.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Okay, well, good, Lucy keeps extra teeth around like like,
you know, eighteen wheelers. If they lose one, they're like,
I still got seventeen more. It's not a big deal.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Seventeen I that's that's incredibly painful.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
Yeah it was. It was bad. And you know the
thing is yay me. Apparently I don't take.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Very well to uh anesthetic.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Yeah, the shots, the.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Anesthetic novacain, novacase.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Maybe it's not novacaine anymore, I don't know, but whatever
they use. And so they kept having to shoot more
and more and more and more and more. And I
told them shoot as much as you want. I do
not care. No, my whole face, I don't care.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
I had my wisdom teeth extracted in high school.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
And yeah, but you were under for that, right.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
No, no, no, no, And that explains a lot. That's
why I lack wisdom. I lack wisdom. I had my
wisdom teeth. They were the only thing kind of holding
I was a really good stupid and now I am not.
I am not any gooder than I used to be.
As I had my wisdom teeth extracted when I was
seventeen or eighteen years old. But they went in to

(21:10):
pull the first tooth and I opted for the laughing
gas because I thought, how much fun would this be?
And then I got the laughing gas and the novacane
and then started to extract the first tooth and I
wasn't numb yet and it was excruciating, and I laughed
my butt off because I was all jacked up on
laughing gas. Would definitely recommend. How many stars? Can I

(21:32):
give it?

Speaker 8 (21:32):
Four?

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Or five? I give it six stars? Wait?

Speaker 3 (21:35):
They started to pull your tooth when the nova game
hadn't started yet, right or not fully anyway? Yeah, and
you stayed for the other three?

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Oh yeah, I was. My dad was there with me
and said, I sounded like Mickey Mouse.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
That hurts. That's the worst pain I've ever felt. I
have a whole new respect for you.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
It won't last, but.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
A whole new is in some finally some modicum of respect, right, yeah.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Not enough to like last tooth.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Stuff is painful, And not only is it painful, you know,
in the mouth region, but it when you've got an
issue with a tooth, that affects your whole system, and
it's hard to fight off things because your body is
constantly trying to fix whatever pain and whatever problem infection
or whatever is going on with that tooth. It really

(22:26):
does run down your whole system, and it wears you
out mentally because you're constantly dealing with that tooth pain.
I've seen my wife go through it. She's had a
number of problems. You think I'm the biggest pain in
her life. Ask her about some of her problems with teeth.
It's that's what I get from marrying a ninety seven
year old woman. But hey, she's got great legs and

(22:48):
she's still got most of her original teeth. Some of
them are wooden. They used to do that back in
her day, and it's awful. It's awful going through that.
So you have my you always have my full undying respect.
I'm so how you had to deal with that. And
I'm trying to talk even more than I normally do,
so you have to talk less.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
That's I'll accept that. But I also want to say
I'm super impressed that you understand the connection between teeth
and your entire system, because that kind of borders on
in some people's mind, that kind of borders on conspiracy theories.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
No, it's not at all.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
I agree, it's not.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
So I'm glad that you're back. Missed you yesterday, but
completely understand. And you're a trooper because you are even
thinking like I don't know if I'm going to be
in Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
This is awful, but.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
Right afterwards I really didn't think i'd make it Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
But here she is, and she's got traffic again. Here
in just a moment, Chris emails and says, with all
the madness going on in the world right now, I
would love to bring a little positivity today. I love
the Masters. I love your master's music because we get
to hear the piano, the signals, the start of the Masters.
I'll do a little bit here in the eleven ten

(23:59):
KFA the Certified Transmission Sports Brief, because today is the
Par three contest at Augusta National ce I immediately start
bringing the voice down a little bit with a Master's update.
It's the par three contest at Augusta National before tomorrow's
start of the Master's Invitational Tournament. The first who provided

(24:22):
the most fun at the par three last year was
Rory McElroy's daughter Poppy, who popped in a putt from
I forget how far away and then he went on
to win the Masters and Rory has loved every moment
of it.

Speaker 7 (24:34):
Can't believe it was twelve months ago that I was
sitting here and sort of trying to take it all in.
To be able to come back and do this press
conference in a green jacket. That feels pretty good. But yeah, look,
it's been an amazing twelve months. You're bringing this thing
all around the world.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
He said, I've always for the last seventeen years couldn't
wait for the Masters to start because he's trying to
win it this year. He hopes it never starts. He
doesn't want to end being a Master's champion. And that
is a Master's update. On news radio eleven ten KFAB,
golf clap from Lucy Chapman. There's Lucy Chapman. I'm Scott Vorhees,
Jim Rose back on Friday, Craig Evans here. Gary Sandlemeyer

(25:14):
was hanging out with us yesterday.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
It's a good week.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
We didn't blow Iran to Kingdom come and the stock
markets up. The oil prices are down. Elvis is singing.
It's news radio eleven ten KFAB, So glad to have
you with us here. On Nebraska's morning News. Lucy is
on the mend We mentioned a moment ago that she
was out yesterday because on Monday afternoon she had all

(25:42):
of her teeth pulled. I mean I've heard, I mean,
it's been a joke on this program for years that
anytime I say anything, Lucy's like, did you just call
me fat? It's kind of just a little joke. But
that's probably that's going. That's going way too far to
try and lose weight. Your teeth don't weigh that much.
Even your giant choppers didn't wave. Sorry kicking you while

(26:05):
you're down. Lucy had one tooth that needed to come
out because of a a botched root canal years ago.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
Don't see that it wasn't botched. I mean maybe it was.
I don't know. But here's what I do know. They
don't always last.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
No Kevin emails and the Zonker's custom was inbox, email
and a variety of subjects. Let's start a ripping through
them here. Kevin first of all, says, are Lucy's cheeks
still swollen? If so, we can call her chipmunk Chapman. Kevin,
I'm waving you off. That's not we don't need that, Tim,

(26:44):
Tim says, ask Lucy, is it safe yet? Signed Zell
from Marathon Man. No, anyone familiar with that movie is
cringing right now. Kathy liked my Mickey Mouse voice. Thank you, Kathy.
Now here's the question of the day. To get back
to Iran and everything going on there. Ron emails same

(27:05):
email address, Scott at kfab dot com. So here's a
question I have yet to get a satisfactory answer to.
If so little of our oil comes through the blanket straight,
why should our gas prices go up? I understand gas
and oil is a future commodity, but would our future
and oil be unaffected if so little of our oil

(27:27):
is being affected by what's happening in Iran and the
straight of horror moves. I think it's just an excuse
for big oil to gouge the consumer. You're not wrong,
You're also not one hundred percent right. I don't want
to come out and say I don't need people thinking
that the guy running the convenience store down the street,
let's say his name is Casey, is you.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
Know, deciding to jack up rates.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
It's it's a very inexact science, and the way it's
been explained to me is usually with the word fungible,
meaning oil is a fungible resource traded on the world market,
on the future is commodity market. And so therefore, if
anyone anywhere, let's say, big nations like China and India,

(28:15):
I say, hey, we're not sure we're going to be
able to get as much oil as we need. We
need oil, we got a lot of I mean, these
rickshaws don't run themselves. We need oil, and so we
get Then when are concerned we don't have oil, and
suddenly all the markets tighten. And when all the markets tightened,
even though at President Trump loves to say America is
oil independent, we're energy independent. We got enough here to

(28:38):
get your gas for as long as you need to
power up your humvy. We're all fine here. Well, it's
a it's a small world, after all. I think I
just coined that phrase. And if China and India are
puckering and we're not sure whether or not oil is
going to be there to meet their giant needs, than

(29:00):
all the markets suddenly go up. Distress questions about oil
prices suddenly jack prices up. And when oil prices go up,
the cost of a gallon of gasoline goes up, because
it's like, hey, we're not sure that we're gonna have
enough oil. We have to pull back the reins a
little bit, and those who are trading on the future

(29:22):
commodities for oil are suddenly paint a whole lot more
and we're just not sure about Okay, all that makes
sense except that, And here's where Ron is right. Their
argument is blown out of the water, like one of
these Iranian drone and missile sites. It's blown out of

(29:42):
the water. When you have a day like today, Oil
right now is down seventeen and a half percent. Now,
if if oil suddenly went up overnight, if President Trump said, hey,
guys in Iran, I told you you got to open
up the inking straight.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
You didn't do it.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Civilization's gone and I're on They're all gone, They're like,
what about the oil. It's all gone, we don't need it.
And oil goes up seventeen percent, which would be a miracle.
Under that circumstance, your gas prices would double now. They
would double now. But when oil goes down, when the
stock market is going way, way, way, way up between

(30:26):
two and a half and three and a half percent
across the market indices, and oil is down seventeen and
a half percent, it's down almost twenty dollars for a
barrel of oil right now. Oh, does that mean your
gas prices go down? Are they cut in half?

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (30:43):
No, because you see, it's a future market and a
commodity and we're still not sure we have this uncertainty
over here. Save it, you bunch of liars. You're a
bunch of criminals. You lie it to us constantly. You're
gouging us at the pump, and I don't need it.
We're taking it right in the tailpipe. Every single time
oil goes up a little bit, they all freak out.
Gallon of gas goes up by a dollar, diesel goes

(31:05):
up over five dollars, and now it's all coming down.
It's all going fine, and it's like, well, we can't
lower it quite yet.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
That's funny.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
You had no problem a few weeks to go jacking
it up overnight, but we wanted to come down just
a quarter. Have it come down a quarter today? Is
that possible? Apparently not so. Ron, You're wrong, and you're
one hundred percent right. In the talkback mic, which is
anywhere you are on our free iHeartRadio app, there's a

(31:34):
little picture of a microphone there all you do is
push that button and then send us a message with
your own voice.

Speaker 9 (31:40):
Hey, good morning. He's got say. I've said it before.
I'm to the right or rush and the left of God.
But these TDS people, I mean lives are our nuts anyway.
But this TDS stuff has gone beyond the pail.

Speaker 10 (31:52):
We had to deal with Biden, who is basically a
walking scarecrow getting washed in a prairie with no trees,
looking around, dazed and confused, without smoking weed, and we
had to deal with it, and a laughing soccer around
the world, and we didn't have Biden durament syndrome.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
No, maybe it's a little counter to your argument that
you're describing the former president as, let's see here a
walking scarecrow getting lost in a prairie with no trees.
But we didn't have Biden derangement syndrome.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Gave yourself away.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Very very funny. Thank you very much for that message.
I started off the program just after six this morning saying,
I honestly believe that there are people who woke up
this morning upset that we had negotiated at least a
ceasefire to two weeks with Iran. I think they wanted
a genocide so they could hang that around President Trump's

(32:49):
neck and say, I see he's a war criminal. He
killed all those people. They didn't care about those people.
They wanted them dead so it made Trump look bad.
These are the same people that cheered and got excited, like,
oh oh boy, did you hear some lady got killed
by Trump's mercenaries in Minnesota? Isn't this great? They don't
care about you, They don't care about these lives. They

(33:11):
only care about hating Trump. I got an email here
in the Zonker's custom woods inbox at Scott atkfab dot com.
Terry and council Bluff said there was a guy who
wrote last night, those who hate the war will also
have a problem with the peace. Just watch one percent.

(33:31):
Terry says Trump is lucky to have such a loud
and stupid opposition. Appreciate that email. And finally, Shannon says,
the President Kamala were in charge, Aaron would have made
several smoking holes where European cities used to be by now,
and somehow that would still be Trump's fault. I support
what he said and done. The only exception I'll make there.

(33:57):
One of the big problems I have with President Trump
right now. Is I believed him five years ago when
he said, hey, all right, we got this virus right now,
we just need to shut her down for two weeks.
Two weeks to flatten the curve. I thought that was
a number that was rooted in science, based on the
spread transmission rate of COVID. But over this Iran deal

(34:20):
and a few other things the president has done, have
you noticed what his timeframe always is?

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Two weeks.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
Yeah, we're gonna institute tariffs on all these countries. When's
that start? Two weeks and we're gonna blow up Iran. Well,
we've negotiated a ceasefire. We're gonna hold off on blowing
up Iran. How long has that ceasefire? Mister president? Two weeks?
Two weeks to flatten Iran? Two weeks to week. And
he said that a few weeks ago. I think he

(34:49):
said that two weeks ago. If we wanted to take
out Iran, we could take them out. It would take
two weeks. That's just his standard time frame. It's two
weeks for everything. And here I thought five years ago
with COVID, like two weeks to flatten the curve. I
was like, well, that's probably scientific.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
No, it's not.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
He's just he's a two weeks spouting guy. This two
weeks for everything. There is a news conference underway at
the Pentagon. Secretary Pete Hegseth of the Department of War
was just asked the big question moments ago about Iran
and the President's threats yesterday.

Speaker 6 (35:25):
In the President's Truth social he threatened to wipe out
a civilization. That statement elicited a huge response in America.
If Iran did not come to the table and make
a deal yesterday by the deadline. Was the President really
prepared to wipe out Iran entirely?

Speaker 11 (35:42):
Like I said, we had a target set locked and
loaded of infrastructure, bridges, power plants. Remember, this is a
terror regime, a military regime used all of these things
for dual use to fund their military, to fund their
terror campus. We had a lot of legitimate targets. They
knew exactly the scope of what we were capable of.
We hit some military targets on karg which is a
bit of a signal they can't defend it. And so

(36:05):
the pres Roan ultimately understood their ability their future to produce,
to generate power to fuel their terrorist regime was in
our hands, was in President Trump's hands. That's why they
came to the table. He ultimately said, we can take
it all from you. Your ability to export energy will
be taken away. In the United States military has the

(36:27):
ability to strike those things with impunity, that.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Type whoa and thankfully see. This was what Conan O'Brien
was talking about during the Academy Awards when they were
talking about streaming the oscars via YouTube. He's like, it'd
be interrupted by an ad and then it had that
great interruption of an ad or a flashlight. This is
the most epic flashlight ever. This is the flashlight that

(36:52):
killed Ben Laden. Was the bit that they did at
the Academy Awards. That's what Conan was talking about streaming
this moment behind here from YouTube. But you got the
gist of the secretary's answer. YouTube's like, I know that
the Secretary of War has given us an answer on
whether or not we would have obliterated the civilization of Iran.

(37:13):
But hey, when's the last time you checked your car warranty?
Thanks YouTube, you're the best. Can't live without it. So
what the secretary was singing there was the same thing
the President Trump always does. Mister President, are you going
to do this or not do that? Or is this

(37:33):
off the table? Would you really do this? Hey, anything
is possible. We're not going to take anything off the table.
We'll put everything on the table, and it's up to
them what they think we're going to do or not do.
I'm not going to tell you. Yeah, someone from the
Washington Post just asked a question. I'm going to tell
you what we will or won't do with Iran, a
country that's trying to enrich uranium for the purpose of

(37:54):
making suitcase newts to go and blow up Washington, DC,
New York City, Plattsmouth. I mean, any of the major targets,
and we're prepared to do whatever is necessary to stop them.
And I know that there are people who think, like
it's Iran. Were they really that big a threat? Ask Israel.

(38:15):
Hamas is fund that killed twelve hundred innocent people October seventh,
twenty twenty three. Hamas is funded by Iran. Iran gives
weapons to Russia that invades Ukraine. China is very interested
in the oil from Iran. Iran funds has Belah and
Houthi rebels terrorist organizations, and has threatened to kill us

(38:38):
in any way possible. They've been trying to enrich uranium
so they could have either a nuclear bomb or at
least a suitcase nuke. They could take out a major
American city with one of their lone wolves. Are they dangerous? Yeah,
but just the fact that they haven't done that yet
causing people here in America to be like, we're just
kicking around brown people in the Middle East again. Did

(39:02):
you see what they did on nine to eleven. I'm
not talking about Iran. I'm talking about this mindset.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
You remember that.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
I know some of the college kids complaining about what's
going on with Iran right now, they weren't born when
this happened. They didn't use bombs. They used our freedom
against us, which is incredibly sad, and it's even it
is also sad that we have allowed those freedoms to
continue to be taken from us in the name of

(39:29):
tenuous security. But this mindset wants to murder us. Was
President Trump really gonna hit these guys real hard? Yeah,
if he needed to, that's up to them. He told
them last he told them, you've got till Tuesday at
seven pm Olmaha. Time to give up. At five point thirty.

(39:54):
All day yesterday, what was left of the Iranian regime
was like, hey, no, no, no, we're going to fight
to the death. The Great Satan can't ever get us
to and then at five point thirty Omaha time yesterday
they're like, all right, all right, don't kill us. Anyone
can be a part of the KFAB comment Line, hosted
by Jene Stothard. Whether you've got something to say about

(40:16):
the war in Iran or the street car downtown, or
if you're the mayor of Omaha or one of his
department heads, you can. You're welcome to join Jeene Stouths
on the KFAB comment line here mornings at ten on
news radio eleven ten KFAB. I'm Scott Voorhees here with
Lucy Chapman and Craig Evans. We are with you until then.
Jim rows out for a few days. He's back on

(40:37):
Friday here on Nebraska's Morning News. Lucy, you missed Monday
and Tuesday afternoon, when we did have a little bit
of the response the give and take between the former
mayor and the current mayor related to the comment line
here on eleven ten KFAB. Just in case anyone's also
missed this news. So Jeane Stothard ask someone from the city,

(41:00):
one of these department heads to come on the show.
These interview requests for all media outlets are reviewed by
a person or a few people, and she was told, no,
we're not going to be on your show. I reached
out to the Mayor's office and said, just want to
make sure we're all We're good, right, And we've got

(41:20):
a response that I appreciate honestly, that was posted online
by Mayor Ewing that basically said that, and this is
from his post. He says, while we appreciate and acknowledge
the former mayors many years of service, we're declining her
request to host city department heads on her show. Sending

(41:44):
leaders to explain or defend my administration's actions to a
hardly objective host puts them in an awkward and potentially
compromising position. We do not believe it would be productive. Look,
I get it with the dynamics of these two individuals
having been tied to that office. I understand that. But

(42:05):
as a mayor of Omaha, you are going to be
asked questions by hardly objective journalists who are going to
push back a little bit and ask you some things
that maybe sometimes you don't want to answer. Jeans author
went through that several times on this and other media
outlets and in town hall meetings and as far as
you know, sending senior leaders to defend my administration's actions,

(42:29):
like that's that's the job. But he also said that
he does try to say yes to most news media requests,
including a legacy media outlet like kfab, and he will
continue to do so. Look, we've got to have a
great relationship with city Hall because sometimes there's triumph and

(42:52):
tragedy we need to discuss. And I'm glad that line
of communication is open. And I know that jeen Stoddard
has to do a couple of things to kind of
prove her worth, as it were, as a host on
this radio station. One And this was out of her
mouth when we talked about doing this, like I don't

(43:13):
want to just come on there and you know, bad
mouth the mayor or any decisions he makes. I don't
want to be that voice in your station, Like no,
that's when when you've got things to say, Sam, And
she also said, I don't have to talk about streetcar
every day, and like you got to train the audience
on that one, because when they open up the phones
and the emails.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
It's streetcar, streetcar, streetcar, streetcar.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
And as Craig Evans told you, the Omaha street Car
project now has rails on the ground, not in the ground.
The rails have been delivered.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
No, I thought they were. They started placing them, did
they a couple of them? Not a lot yet. And
I see that they're closing Harney over the weekends.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
I wonder if I'm looking at Craig's report, you have
three o'clock this morning.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
Yeah, this is real reason they started.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
They're putting rails. The first tracks in plays at three am.
That's near tenth and Farnham, and they're moving down towards
tenth and Capital. Well there you okay, good, we have
rails in the ground. See, and you're worried about gas prices.
We're gonna be able to ride a street car in
two and a half years. Lucy Chapman here Jim rose
back on Friday, thanks again to Gary Sadlemayer for jumping

(44:24):
in here. Jim and Lucy were both gone. And even
though I am inflicting you to mostly my big fat
yap throughout the morning, that's because the reason Lucy was
out yesterday is because she had all of her teeth pulled.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
All of them.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
Uh, they kept they let me keep one.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
Well, they cleaned them up and put them back in,
but you got one. But it's it's like whale teeth,
where it's just one unbroken line of teeth that goes
around there. And I am not saying that you and
any other way resemble a whale.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
Some of those like some of those actors from the eighties.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Yes, it's just like all capped, just one big unbroken tooth.
Lucy had part of that great wall of tooth extracted,
and she was out yesterday, so her mouth still hurts.
So I'm not I'm not gonna bother you all that much.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
I mean I'll still bother you. I'm just not gonna
let you talk.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
Let me just say I will talk this. I will
say this. I apparently spoke that last traffic report and
I said, I guess I said Dodge Expressway westbound. Oh
now wait a minute, if I said westbound, it would
have anyway eastbound. Dodge is still extremely slow on the expressway.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
Okay, thank you, that made I know perfect sense.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
I'm in pain.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
Yeah, but you've been on You've been hooked on painkillers
for years. That's not funny, all right. Omaha World Herald reports.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
That on this was on Monday night.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
It says eleventh thirty pm. But it seems like the
video I saw was a guy with enough light on
him those daylight all right, I'm not Yeah, it looks
like it happened late Monday night. Here's what the accusation is.
The video came out yesterday that there was a guy

(46:20):
who seemed to be armed with a long barreled rifle
with a scope hanging out at East Campus at dear Old, Nebraska.
You eleven thirty pm Monday, University police received a call
from a student reporting a guy near the East Campus
student union armed with a rifle. And then they saw

(46:43):
the post later and then it said eleven forty five
here's someone wearing a backpack spotted carrying a long barreled rifle.
Students and staff were advised to shelter and place or
avoid the area as they were trying to figure out
what was going on. Well, they've since figured out what
was going on, but now we just got more questions

(47:05):
on this. Then campus police and Lincoln Police department. We're
able to determine through security camera footage that three juveniles
who are not university students came on to campus at
ten thirty pm carrying weapons and we're just walking around
for an hour at UNL. The weapons were airsoft guns.

(47:33):
Now UNL policy says dangerous weapons are prohibited on university
property that includes air pellet BB guns that kind of thing.
Would an airsoft gun be considered a dangerous weapon? Well,
we might have our answer, as according to the Omaha
World Herald, no one has been arrested, no citations have

(47:58):
been issued. I don't think that they're saying, so, yeah,
just go around campus carrying an airsoft rifle. What would
have been really, really unfortunate had there been another student
or campus security or any number of things could have happened.
And suddenly you got someone walking around posing with this

(48:20):
long barreled rifle. The image I saw showed someone holding
it up and apparently taking aim. If someone sees that
and decides to fire a shot at these teenagers, one
of these kids could have been shot, maybe killed for what.
Goofing around? What were they doing? And I have to

(48:43):
wonder if any of this is related to the phenomenon,
which is now in at least its second year. Maybe
I just found out about it last year because my
kid was a high school senior. I wonder if these
guys are goofing around because right now it's Senior Assassin season.
That doesn't make any sense for them to be at
unl if it has to do with high school seniors.

(49:05):
But are you familiar with Senior Assassin. That's where you
get shot with squirt guns. You pay money to be
in kind of a March Madness style bracket, and whoever's
left standing at the end of the bracket wins a
bunch of money. How do you get out in the game.
You have to have video evidence of being shot with
a squirt gun, and like there's a few rules for

(49:27):
when you can't do it, Like you can't be in class,
and you can't go into someone's house unless you're invited in.
And so we got students stalking each other with squirt
guns trying to get people shot in the Senior Assassin
High School game. And there's another way that you cannot
get shot, and that is if you're out in public.
If you've seen some high school kids wearing goggles recently,

(49:51):
that's your I'm safe. If you're wearing goggles. You can't
get shot and taken out in the senior Assassin game.
Right now, there are some of you going, oh, that
explains why this past weekend, I was at Village Point
and saw these kids walking around wearing swim goggles. Yep,
that's probably what that was all about. So I don't

(50:12):
know exactly what happened at UNL but no arrest, no citations,
a lot of nervous people, traffic, weather, and a news
update coming up here in just a moment. And this
is the worst broadcast teas of all time. But speaking
of firearms on college campuses, due to a recent school shooting,

(50:36):
the family of one of the victims is suing chat GPT.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
I'll explain next.

Speaker 5 (50:42):
The Minneapolis City Council is considering a controversial ordinance that
would legalize adult bathhouses and sex venues involving consenting adults.
The council president said the plan would model San Francisco,
which has extensive regulations focused on safety and public health.
I'm Craig Evans. More news at the bottom of the

(51:02):
out rent News Radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
And when are we gonna get bathhouses here in Omaha?
Is the street car going to transport people between bathhouses?

Speaker 2 (51:15):
All right?

Speaker 1 (51:16):
Thank you Craig Evans for that report. Lucy Chapman here
as well. I'm Scott Vorhees sports brief in just a
couple of minutes, and this is news Radio eleven ten.
Kfab I mentioned that Senior Assassin season. If you see
kids out walking around wearing goggles, wearing swim goggles, it's
because you can't get shot with the squirt gun during
the high school Senior Assassin game, not if you wearn't goggles.

(51:39):
Penny sends a message via the Zonker's custom with's inbox.
Scott atkfab dot com says there was a young woman
in arm floaters shopping in Omaha with me the other day,
completely stupid. Well, I don't know about the arm floaters.
There was rain in the forecast, Penny, thank you for
checking in. So I don't know if these teenagers goofing

(52:02):
around with an airsoft rifle at un L the other day.
Not university students, just three teens that thought, let's go
to the campus and pose with our long, long barreled
airsoft gun rifle, and hey, maybe someone will think that
we're taking aim and about to start a school shooting
and maybe we'll get ourselves shot, because that could have

(52:24):
happened now. Florida State University, they had a school shooting
there on campus almost exactly a year ago April seventeenth,
twenty twenty five. Two people died in that shooting. Attorneys
for one of the families of the victim of one
of the victims is suing not the gunman. They're suing

(52:46):
chat GPT. They're suing AI because the gunman had constant
communication with the AI chat GPT chat bot in the
day and even minutes leading up to the shooting, asking
questions about where if you were going to start shooting

(53:07):
at Florida State, where would the most people be at
what time of day? And chat GPT is like, well,
it'd be here at this time.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
Even he's asking.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
The question how do you take the safety off the
shotgun three minutes before he started firing. More than two
hundred and seventy conversations listed to exhibits in the case,
asking chat GPT all kinds of questions about how to
carry out the shooting, how to operate the gun, and
all the rest of this stuff, and so the family

(53:38):
of one of the victims issuing chat GPT. You know
how chat GPT works, right, It's like a calculator. You input,
in this case a question, it gives you facts. There
have been other families who have been wrestling with whether

(53:58):
or not to sue AI or whatever because you've had
some kids ask AI how to go about committing suicide
and AI doesn't have the reason maybe yet to be
able to say, hey, it sounds like you need someone
to talk to. I'm gonna send in a behavioral health
therapist or whatever. You just ask a question. It gives

(54:20):
you an answer. So you'd ask the AI that question
and chat GPT would say, well, have you tried stepping
in front of a bus? Have you tried jumping out
of a plane without a parachute. It doesn't know morality,
It just knows answer to question. So if you're asking it,
as this person was, where would you open fire on

(54:43):
the Florida State University campus at what time of day
to find the most people? It's like, well, in the
lunch room at lunch, that's where the most people are
gonna be. Chat GPT thinks it's being helpful. You still
think it's a great you have to raise your kids
with their faces buried in phones all the time. I'm

(55:03):
Scott Vorhees and right now it's time to eat.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
Are you hungry, Jimmy, Jimmy speak free me, Jimmy pay
Llay Lucy.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
We have the regional director of the US Department of
Health and Human Services with us here. He was an
iron fist runs the territory across Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and
Nebraska aka Gods Country. We welcome Jeff Carris here to
news Radio eleven ten kfa B and Director Car's good

(55:49):
to have you on the program.

Speaker 8 (55:51):
Thanks good, It's great to be here and speak to
all your wonderful listeners across the Omaha region in the
great state of Nebraska. Now, I am a kid, as
this boy, reared in wichitaal but my mom was raised
in Lincoln, and so half my blood is Nebraska blood.
So I'm very much big red.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
Well, I think if you cut yourself, you'll find that
you bleed red blood. So that's sorry. We're we're ingrained
right there, and that's all right. We got nothing but
love for our friends in Kansas and so especially if
you're a shocker, because that kind of takes away the
old big eight thing of Jayhawk Wildcat. But when you

(56:32):
accept the invitation from the President and Secretary Kennedy to
be a part of the Health and Human Services Department,
does that put a lot of pressure on you. I mean,
it's not like you can gain five pounds. If you're
suddenly like helping people with dietary guidelines and to be
more healthy, that puts a lot of pressure on you.

Speaker 8 (56:52):
You know, Scott. Honestly, there's a little truth there, and
I'm happy to have this appointment. I did this during
the first Trump administration, and so I was when I
got the call to come back to be one of
rfk's half dozen or so regional directors across the country.
But yeah, I'm a lot more cognitive about that. Fortunately,
I pretty well take decent care of myself now. I

(57:14):
do it consume too much sugar, which of course we're
not about. My wife is a health freak and she
has not consumed any sugar for five years, and God
bless her for so I need to do more work
in that area. But yeah, there's some truth to that, Scott.
I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
How much heremy we hear about these new dietary guidelines
coming from Secretary RFK Junior and the Health and Human
Services Department. Before we get into all the reasons why
no one's going to follow any of these these guidelines,
this is actually great news for agg producers because it

(57:53):
might have some impact on school lunches, which have been
awful for a very, very long time. We're increasing the
protein and the food pyramid or rhombus or whatever we're
working with now.

Speaker 8 (58:05):
Right, Absolutely, this is really great. Well, it's great just
for the whole country. And of course, you know people
are going to change their appetites and attitudes overnight. It
took us sixty years to get into this mass, unfortunately,
and it's going to take us a little while to
get out. But yeah, basically, what the new guidelines do,
which kind of turns the triangle literally upside down, is

(58:27):
it prioritizes protein at every mil So for us in
the Midwest, it's a great wind. For farmers and for
ranchers and really Nebraska as a whole. It emphasizes consuming
full fat dairy with no added sugars. There's another great
wind for the Midwest. Eating vegetables and fruit throughout the
day and basically incorporating healthy fats from whole food sources

(58:49):
and trying to stay away from sugars. So and you
know this is not going to be mandatory. People are
gonna you know, we're America, we're not China, we're not Russia.
You get to eat what you want to eat. But
they're there is an area where the HHS could be influential.
Like just last week, the Secretary told our hospitals across
the country are five thousand hospitals around the country that hey,

(59:10):
if you want to be able to continue to take
Medicaid and Medicare patients, which of course they do, and
of course we want them to, you've got to adopt
these new dietary guidelines. I mean, the reality is it's
a medical valve practice that hospitals will toually serve, you
know this terrible food, sugar, drinks, inflammatory process food to

(59:33):
patients who are sick. You shouldn't be able to frankly
go into a hospital and be able to buy a
coke and the machine, the same reason why you really
shouldn't be able to go into CVS or Walgreens and
buy cigarettes and so. But we're also doing it at
the school level as well through the free lunch program
that's you know, federally subsidized, but we're going to work

(59:55):
with school districts across the country and encourage them to
adopt these new guidelines. Unfortunately, as you know, what's happened
over the last forty years is I don't know how
old you are, Scott, but I'm sixty. When I went
to school, the food was actually cooked in the school. Unfortunately,
over the last forty years we've gotten away from that
and it's all processed. It's shipped in in the morning.

(01:00:17):
So there'll be work to be done to be sure,
but we've got to start somewhere. Now is the time
to do it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Yeah, I'm just a few years behind you, and I
remember when school lunches were good, and then during the
Obama administration, I would go have lunch with my kids
at their school and it was inedible. And even like
third graders are hungry throughout the afternoon. They're not getting
enough food. And you think about what this is doing
for especially high school athletes. Now, I'm all for choice.

(01:00:43):
I like having a vanilla coke once in a while,
but when you're encouraging people through being able to use
their snap benefits to buy sugar and caffeinated beverage and
all the rest of it with no dietary allowances whatsoever.
There's nothing good. There's nothing nutritious about it. That's wrong.

(01:01:04):
Last question here for you, Regional Director Jeff Carrs Health
and Human Services. There are people who think that there's
stuff in our food that has made us fat over
the years, and that's what Secretary Kennedy's trying to do
something about.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
There. Why are we so fat?

Speaker 8 (01:01:21):
It's definitely the food, and it's definitely lack of exercise.
You know, protein, When you consume more protein, you keep
your metabolism up. When you consume highly ultra processed food,
it does the reverse on it. And the reality is
right now, if you look at the amount of the
type of food that miners and adults are consuming, the

(01:01:44):
bulk of it's a high majority is highly processed food.
And you know, we didn't have chronic illness in this
country forty fifty years ago, and they really don't have
a problem at all in Europe. We do because of
our food system. It's polluted and it's just and it's
destroying our our health. And the reality is we're spending
almost fifty percent of the total federal budget directlor indirectly

(01:02:07):
is going towards these chronic illnesses that are cost in
large part by what we're eating when we're consuming. And
I want to make a plug for Nebraska. Governor Pillen
was the first governor to take on this SNAP waiver,
which says you're not going to be able to use
SNAP dollars to purchase sugar drinks or candy in states

(01:02:28):
that do that. Currently, there's twenty two states that have
taken on this waiver, including Nebraska. Almost twenty five percent
of all Snap dollars are being spent on sugar drinks
and candy. And I read somewhere where almost forty percent
of Coca Cola's revenue in America is from snaps. So

(01:02:48):
that's not what Snap was put in place for. It
would make sure that people had food and had nutritious food.
And so hopefully more of these states, especially the blue
states where realized that this is good policy and it
will adopted absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
I mean, it's it's like going door to door and saying, hey,
I really need some some money.

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
I need something. You're like, oh, do you need a sandwich?

Speaker 1 (01:03:09):
No, I need an energy drink like that there's that's
not how taxpayer dollars should be used. Hey, Jeff, next
time you're up in Nebraska, come by and see us
in the studio.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
Okay, I'll do it absolutely.

Speaker 1 (01:03:20):
That is our Health and Human Services regional director across Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas,
and Missouri. Jeff Carr is here on Nebraska's Morning News.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
The songs still going on. All right.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
I told you, Lucy jam and I would still bother
you throughout the show today, just I just wouldn't let
you talk very much.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
What are you listening to?

Speaker 1 (01:03:44):
See you win scene when I just typed into YouTube,
children's song about food and lots of options came up
and that was my favorite.

Speaker 3 (01:03:52):
As we just need to see the other one just.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
A moment ago.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
Uh yeah, And for the next hour he's gonna play
that Mommy Sharks song for an hour.

Speaker 3 (01:04:04):
I'm saying, I don't think that's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
That's coming up.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
So that's Lucy Chapman, Craig Evans there. I'm Scott Vorhees.
This is Nebraska's Morning News news radio eleven ten KFAB.
We just had the regional director of Health and Human
Services on here to talk about food. So I was
looking for a song about food because as one of
the songs I did pass up says eating is fun,

(01:04:29):
but eating is serious. I think everyone knows that now. Lucy,
who is also the official conspiracy theorist here on eleven
ten kfab and I'm not letting her talk as much
today because she had major reconstructive surgery over the last
couple of days. That's why she was gone. And I

(01:04:50):
think that whatever they did, maybe do it like twenty
percent more and then stop.

Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
Wow. So not only are you calling me fat, calling
me ugly.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
I didn't call you now. I just kind of like
where you can't talk, it hurts you to talk. You
had some oral surgery and you've been hampered in your
ability to speak. And you're also seemingly on all kinds
of wacky drugs. You've you've done traffic reports on streets
that don't exist. You actually said there's a crash on

(01:05:25):
a Northwest Dodge in the southeast lane.

Speaker 3 (01:05:29):
In the southeast lane. I say that I.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
Don't even know what you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:05:34):
Avil, that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
But as the official conspiracy theorist here, yes, I asked
that question about you know, what do they put in
our foods, that's made us so fat, And he talked
about that a little bit here.

Speaker 3 (01:05:45):
I'm sorry miss that I would have agreed with him.
I'm sure whatever he said.

Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
That's great.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
It's just blanket approval of whatever it was they was,
what we do.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
It was just said
