Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
My name is Scott Vorhees. I am here with Craig Evans.
Lucy Chaman is out today Steve Parker doing overtime Timesaver
traffic for It's early on this Tuesday morning, and it's
incredibly necessary today because the roads are okay for a
while and then you get into some areas where you've
got slush and some freezing sections on the road, some

(00:22):
ice covered roads, and that is going to especially in
the residential areas, that's going to be a problem here
for the morning commute over the next couple of hours.
We'll be keeping an eye on it. And thanks to
Steve Parker for jumping in and doing that well. Lucy
has gone today. Jim Rose also gone today, as he's
out most of the week. But I have a special

(00:43):
guest in the studio. And this is very, very weird
because you and I have spent several hours on the
radio together and nearly every single one of those hours
is you Gary Sandelmeyer sitting here and I'm sitting over there,
So this whole dynamic is very very weird. Hello, Scott,

(01:08):
and I could not be happier to have you in here.
It's good to be I'm not sure how to act
now as.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Well that chair. I know, well I am, I said,
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
I said when we we made this transition. You'll hear
Gary on this radio show a lot. And then I haven't.
I haven't taken any days off there. I've got a
couple of days off coming up here at the end
of the month, and you're going to do one of
those so you can. You can sit in this chair
and remember how to hit the buttons challenge. I just

(01:45):
have to. Really, my challenge this morning is not to
treat you like my favorite toy and be like, Hey, Gary,
what do you think about this? Hey Gary, what do
you think about that?

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Harry?

Speaker 1 (01:53):
How are you?

Speaker 2 (01:54):
So?

Speaker 1 (01:55):
We watched basketball? We watched basketball. We watched basketball late
last night. You'll hear some of the clips and a
full update here with sports brief. But Michigan did beat
Yukon last night. In the Human Emoji Machine, Dan Hurley,
the coach of the Yukon Husky.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
I gotta kick out of him.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
I do too. He is such a uh he's such
a weasel looking guy there, but he's fun.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
He has people loved. He's one of those people that
people loved to dislike. Yeah, if not hate. I don't
for he had he had a dust up back and
forth with a creaton fans here year or two ago,
and you can tell he's very tickled with himself. But
he's a great coach. There's no doubt. I mean they
were within what what was at eight points, I've getting

(02:44):
their third title in four years. I mean, come on, yeah, no,
that's but I'm glad Michigan won.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
I am too, And I had to think back and go, really,
they haven't won a national title since the late eighties,
which was grounds zero for me. That was the remeial
Robinson team Michigan beat I believe Seton Hall in that
national championship back in nineteen eighty nine, after the eighty

(03:10):
eight eighty nine season. I was twelve years old, and
so I was that was ground zero. I remember watching
that game while babysitting the kids next door. Really yeah,
and so I put them to bed and I was
watching the basketball game, and I thought, Wow, the Michigan's
got such a cool team. So I've always had a
little bit of a soft spot in my heart for them.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well, you know, it goes back to this Michigan team
talk about Nebraska basketball. The night that I knew there
was something special going on here with Fred's team. We
went up there severely shorthanded at Michigan.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Mast was out.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, and I think I think Frager was still was.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Freger was out and almost came back. Please, Well, if
you're gonna, if you're can this morning, just language is
pours forth.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
That was the night I said, Okay, this team has something. Yes,
the boy did it. Ever, we haven't talked. We haven't
talked since the tournament really about Nebraska's run. But and
you know and that.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
I will go, well, I presume you were in favor
of it. Yeah, that's a fun that I absolutely loved it. Yeah,
And Hoiberg yesterday was talking about how Sandfort was.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
H Yeah, today's day.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, he's going to have some surgery on an issue.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Uh sounds minor. The big issue with him is the
with the portal opening to day, is he going to
what's it going to cost to keep him or is
he potentially going to declare for the draft.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Well, I think we've all Husker fans have all kind
of assumed he's going to be gone. But coach Hoiberg
was talking about he should be back for summer workouts
and and be good to go here.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
And what Yeah, what Hoiberg said was all of the
Russians up to this point things sound good for getting
that core back of eligible players. He didn't specifically talk
about Sandford's discussion with him about staying or going, but man,
it's dice. It's going to cost a lot of money,

(05:17):
and it should. I mean, this is the way the
game is now. You shoot like that, you shoot like that.
The NBA has got to be interested.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yeah, you know, he's got a real quick trigger pullt yeah.
And and and the fact that Michigan last night won
this national title with five guys who were not on
Michigan's team last year shows the era we are in.
Whereas Michigan had that famous fab five freshman team that

(05:48):
should have won.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
A national nine something like that.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
It was like ninety early three, was it was very
early nineties, just a few years after Michigan won that
title in the late eighties. Then comes Chris Weber and
Juwan Howard and Jalen Rose and those guys, and they
almost won the title, but for the phantom time out
called by Chris Weber. That was five freshmen starting on

(06:14):
that team, and that is the difference in that generation
between let's get the best players in here and recruit
them and mold them and build a team around them,
versus now like, all right, who's available, Let's get that guy?
All right, come on in here, here's your jersey, what
number do you want? All right, go out and play.
And that's how things look now. Full review coming up

(06:35):
in sports brief in just moments in turn, Gary Sadlemeyer,
he is in here this morning. I'll do sports brief,
feeling my way along a couple of moments here. You're
doing great so far. I wanted to I wanted to
talk to you for a moment here about something very
very different depending on where you live in this world.
We're getting up this morning going yeah, well, slushy roads

(06:58):
here in that basketball game last night, great game. There
are people right now in Iran whose government, what's left
of their government, just told them form a human chain
around bridges and power plants. That way, maybe America won't
strike you.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Today. It's bridge day, Bridge Day and.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
The power plant day. Yeah, I thought it was leg day.
It's bridge day. And the President has said if they
don't open up the blank and straight of horror moves
by the way, Rand McNally still hasn't changed on their map.
I checked it this morning. Really, yeah, it's it's it's
the Gulf of America. But it still says straight of

(07:36):
horror moves the uh so, what's left of the government
in Iran is telling their citizens form a human chain
around power plants. Either America won't strike you because of
these civilian casualties, or they will kill you and will
come out looking better because America just struck a bunch

(07:57):
of civilians. It's a very different deal here today. You
watched the president's news conference yesterday. What was your your
big takeaway?

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Well, uh, the serious takeaway. Excuse me, I had chicken
for dinner. Still that feathers in my throat is he's
got a marker down now and is in a bit
of a tough spot. Unless he's actually absolutely committed to
doing this, I.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Don't think there's any reason.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
I don't. I don't know how you can back away
from it.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Now, I've heard people say he's going to destroy their
oil refineries, their oil capacity. I haven't heard that. But
he did talk about bridges and power plants, and this
is not unusual in big time wars. Incidentally, if you
look back power plants are often taken out. The concern
about does that cripple the country's civilian population to the

(08:56):
point where they can't function? And they can't they can't
turn the lights on, they can't get water, da da
d d dah, they can't get to where they need
to go, and would that be a war crime? You know,
that's for others to figure out. But the only way
he can back away from this, and Jesse Kelly was
talking about this last night, is he can say, Okay,
we're very close to a deal. Now, we just had

(09:19):
a great proposal for him. I'm going to give him
another day. But if that's a bluff, then they'll know
it's a bluff and they'll say, Okay, he's not going
to do this. So it's a very dicey proposition that
he laid out yesterday. And tonight's the night.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, right, we've got a deadline at seven o'clock, Omaha
counts a BLUs time before President Trump says that Iran.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Can out every bridge in your country.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
He says, Iran can be wiped out very easily in
one single night, and that could be tonight. And as
far as the war crime charge, if you go after civilians,
or you cripple their ability to live by taking out electricity,
clean water, and medicine, access to hot hospitals. That kind
of thing. As far as killing the citizens or leading

(10:05):
to the death of the citizens of Iran, that would
be grounds for a lawsuit from Iran's government. That's usually
their job to kill their citizens.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yes, that's right. They wouldn't like what are you doing.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, they wouldn't like America doing that. We'll talk about
a few other things we heard from the president yesterday.
Gary Sadlemayra is in, Jim Rose out, I'm Scott Voh.
He's here. Is News Radio eleven ten kfab sports brief
last night in this National title game, I thought this
was the big turning point. There's just under two minutes
to go, and Yukon is driving towards the hoop. That

(10:39):
layup goes in. They're now down four. But that's not
what happened.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Jenny sets the screen, Read knocks it away, Read trying
to catch up.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
Journey sids it Oh, Hoddy finish out Michigan pushing the
other way, Hunger's.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Hair cuttou the bounce, Johnson.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Threw his legs saves it for call off the drive,
but Kenny six defeat fires Tons big one.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
For McKenny, so rather than being down four, you are.
Michigan then goes up nine. Yukon still has some fight
left in him.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Mullet swing for Paul, rises up, Paul.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Prayer three off the glass by Ball, who was questionable
even going into this game, now has got Yukon down
four with thirty seconds pardon me, thirty seven seconds left
to go, but left to the floor.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Layup doesn't go. Paul knocked around.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Shrug down the floor, caravan trying to track it down,
and he will and it's over.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
Hell to the champions, Hell to Michigan.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
For the first time in thirty seven years.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
The Wolverines win the national title by a score of
sixty nine sixty three over the Yukon Huskies, and Michigan
coach Dusty May gave Dan Hurley and the Husky is
a lot of credit after this game. Yukon was dominating
us on the glass. Credit to them.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
They were motivated and determine as any team.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
We played on the offensive glass, and but we did
feel like we were defending well enough that we were
going to be able to find enough baskets.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
And that's sports brief. Now it's six twenty four. So
as not to leave you only in my vocal hands,
we've got Gary Sadelemeyer in the studio as well.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Fun. Thanks for asking me to join you.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Well, it's so fun having you in here. Let me
see if I I told you I'm going to try
my best not to treat you like my favorite toy.
That's going to be easier said than done. I usually
leave that to others, but uh well, we can talk
about that later. A little bit of a civics lesson here.
So this has to do with the order of who's
in charge. Should something happen to the president, I'll spot you.

(12:55):
If the president something happens to the president, he can't
serve anymore than i've as he goes to the vice president.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
And then then who Mike Johnson speaking the.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Speaker of the House, Then who you know? I think,
can you take it?

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Think it's the President pro tem, which is Chuck Grassley.
I think for a.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
While there it was, Yeah, then something happens to him
and then just goes through various department heads and comes
down there. So, Mike, my reason for asking you.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
The state is in there.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
I think at some point, how far do you think
we'd have to go down to. This is what's happening
in Iran, as President Trump is threatening, today is power
plant and bridge day. It'll all be obliterated. No one's
ever seen anything like it. The threat here has a
response from a government official in Iran who is described

(13:45):
here as the secretary. And this this is the person
who is apparently in charge. We've blown up everybody else
in charge of Iran. Apparently in charge right now in
that nation is the Secretary of the Supreme Court or
the Supreme Council of Youth and Adolescence.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
He's in charge. Now.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
That's the name of the that's the name is Alaiza Rahimi.
And this person, this is a government official who has
responded to the President's threats, who is described as the
Secretary of the Supreme Council of Youth and Adolescence. He's

(14:29):
a big As of as of this broadcast time, we
think he's still alive. But he's calling for young people, athletes,
artists and university students. Artists please list from me all
of your favorite artists out of Iran to gather around
the power plants that are our national assets and capital

(14:52):
and belong to the future of Iran and the Iranian youth,
at least the ones that we haven't killed in recent uprisings.
They want people to go out there and form a
hands across America kind of human shield around their power plants.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
You can't blink. I'm sorry, you can't blink if you're
Trump on this unless there is if he says we're
gonna hold off because they they've come back with a
serious offer, and if that's true, then you can delay.
But you can't bluff that, I think, because then they'll know.

(15:29):
And if and if you surround, if you surround the
power plants with whoever, I'm sorry, you can't blink. War
is hell. It's it's horrible. Everything about it is horrible.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
President Obama issued that red line to Syria, so if
you use chemical weapons against these people, then you're gonna see,
uh kind of a firepower from America you've never seen before.
Syria long jumped across Obama's red line and we didn't
do anything.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Well, it's been said before, and you can like Trump
or not like Trump, but we do have maybe Reagan,
I'm trying to remember a president who said Okay, we're
actually going to do something about this. We keep talking
about it. Every president can't. We're going to do something
about him.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
I support that he Obviously the President sees himself as
not being in the power that he has right now
for very long. I think he thinks, hey, the midterms
might be a foregone conclusion. Why am I going to
help out these spineless cowards and the Republican Party. They
don't support me when it really comes down to it.
And so I'm just going to do what I can

(16:40):
to make what I see as a better world. And
people are gonna hate me for it. But people hate
me no matter what I exactly, so I might as
well do some things that everyone agrees. This is what
we got to do here.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
He beat the greatest Bridge Day every.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
This is Bridge Day. And as far as you said,
you watched the the news conference yesterday, the President was asked,
are you worried about being charged with war crimes?

Speaker 2 (17:05):
He said, you know, I don't. Frankly don't remember that
specific part. He said, no, he's not, but I do.
I do remember how he ended it. You know, this
all started with Greenland. I said, they want a greenlands
that you can't have it by and away away he went.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
He he said, yesterday the entire country of Iran can
be taken out in one night, and that night might
be tomorrow night.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
And then they asked, I don't think you can blink.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
I really don't.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Well they they asked him, because they love doing this
to Trump, mister President, are any civilian targets or any
potential civilian targets? Would those be off limits? And the
President never takes anything off the table, So then of
course the headline is President Trump says he might kill
civilians if he has to.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
It's so interesting to consume headlines these days, after being
in this business for so many years as we have,
and you kind of know who the players are among
news media agencies, and you read a headline and you
read the first paragraph or even the first couple of sentences,
and you say, okay, I can stop right here. I

(18:16):
know exactly where this is going. I know how this
is fun. I know what their take. They call a journalism,
it's not its opinion. So you have to you have
to kind of know what the sources are that have
some integrity in some character, and there aren't that many
that are mainstream anymore.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
No, they're easy to figure out. And since the president,
the president doesn't take anything off the table.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
I mean, you look at the pardon me, if you
look at the Omaha World Earl for example, except for
the few local stories that they still have local reporters,
all of their national international stuff comes from one agency.
It's not worth it. It's not worth spending time reading
that in my view. You know what, you know what
they're they're going to be doing. You know how the

(19:00):
you know how sentence is going to be structured, you
know how a policy proposal is going to be spun.
I don't bother with him. It's all one agency, and
I know what that agency is, and I know what
they're about. I know.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
I root for the Omaha World Hell to get back
to where they used to be. I really do. But
when I started, yeah, when I started reading Hagar the
Horrible and seeing liberal bias in that and The Wizard
of Id, you know, Marmaduke was even saying, you know this,
this president is a war criminal. And you know when

(19:33):
you see that in the newspaper, it's sad to see. Yes,
I'm joking a traffic weather news. Yeah, Hagar the Horrible
says I'm bad, but I'm not as bad as Trump. Like,
come on, Hagar, Gary Sadlemeyer is here on news radio
eleven ten kfab just to hang out and let people

(19:53):
hear your voice. If you come to grips with the
facts that that people miss you and want to hear
you on the radio every single morning.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, it's touching. Actually your heartwarming.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
You can come back, you know, huh, really, you can
come back anytime.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Well, I posted up last night on Facebook that was
going to be joining us this morning, and I got
a comment from one of my knuckle at nephews back
in Minnesota. Is an uncle? Do I have to explain
to you how retirement works?

Speaker 5 (20:20):
Yeah, I go.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
So it's fun. And as you mentioned, you got one
a couple of days. The end of this month, you're
going to be gone. I'll fill in for you on
one of those. Yes, yeah, I enjoy it. I know it.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
I'll take more time off. I just there's a lot
to do every single day.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
I understand. By the way, just my heads up, I
think if I don't think it's changed that much since
four point thirty when I was driving. My perception is,
you know, they're talking two to four inches of snow
and a slushy morning. It looks to me like it's
probably the east half of the metro. When I came
in from Alcorna, it's just light rain. And then about

(20:58):
about I don't know.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yeah, started getting more slush on the road there around
six eighty coming down Dodge.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
So it's it's a slow goo but it's not horrible.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, areas north and then east into Council Bluffs and
then you know, it's always that area around Mills County, Glenwood, Malvern,
Red Oak that always seems to get all the weather,
then get all the weather all the time.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
There are some areas or snow there in our region
that just get blessed.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah, but like in Lincoln barely barely a dustin.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes the last few years. Poor Blair,
I mean Blair just yeah, it's hammered.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah. Yeah, they went.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Fremont coincidence, I guess, but man.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Yeah, Blair gets all the hail anytime there's like this
volleyball size hell like watch out, watch out, Blair, it's
coming now. Before we get to a sports free from
the basketball game last night we lost Tony Davis. Here,
this is a Nebraska football legend, going back to Gentlemen
when Tom Osborn took over the team as coach.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Awesome guy that they come said, tornado tough Tony Davis
Davis Man. He was seventy three years old. Parkinson's, Yeah,
Tony and I became good friends over the years, and
I hadn't talked to him or texted for a while
and didn't know that he had fallen ill. And then

(22:23):
I saw him, thinking what three weeks ago, maybe a
post from the family that said he was in hospice,
and I thought, holy cow. And they were welcoming texts
to him because he would occasionally, you know, be conscious
enough to check him out, and I sent one, and
I know many others did too. And then and then

(22:45):
the news came that he had rallied a little bit,
and you're always hopeful, and then this bad news Sunday,
Parkinson's said, you hate to see. I mean, seventy three,
I think it's pretty young to be checking out, but
especially somebody as elite and tough as he was to

(23:08):
be to be withered away by a horrible affliction like that.
And so thank God he can rest in peace now,
and our best to his family. They may be listening.
Many do, and in the comes the community, that guy
was man. He well here, Yeah, if you're going to
tackle Tony Davis, you better be ready. And we've had

(23:29):
a lot of runners like that, but that guy was
probably the prototype in those early Osbourne years for sure.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
KFAB newsman Terry Lahey, who was a Husker historian, he
had Leahy's legacy you've heard on this radio station over
the years, talks about an electric performance Osbourne's first game
a head coach, a rain soaked Memorial Stadium against UCLA.
Davis punches into touchdown there as the Husker running back
and then punched the chain link fence just beyond the

(23:58):
end line. I'll pumped up the we're beating the Bruins here.
And it was Osburn's first victory and tough Tony Davis
was a big reason for it.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
That his hand was none the better for that, but
he didn't care.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Nineteen seventy three, Yeah, and I guess he's got He's
in the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame, oh sure, as
well as the Hall of Fames for the Cotton Bowl
and the Sugar Bowl.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yep, for his Horter Bowl performance and I'm thinking of seventy.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
Four, whatever year we've been in Florida.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Yeah, it was awesome. That was a tough game. Rosie
posted yesterday that when he was in When he was
Rosie was a kid in school and Tony was playing
at Nebraska, the powers that be, the gatekeepers at the
stadium decided, you used to be able to kids. They'd
let kids in at halftime to mill around under the

(24:50):
South stadium, and then they decided they weren't going to
do that anymore. And Tony heard about it, and one game,
just before halftime, he comes out, he opens the gate
and he said, come with me. Kids follow me, and
he took him down there, and you know, I imagine
that for a young kid, and it's Tony Davis.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Yeah, you got a special guest this morning. It has

Land now that you can sleep in, just curious, what
time do you normally it up?

Speaker 3 (26:00):
And you still flip on camp iby every morning. I'm
sure you do, but I'm just curious, man, what time
do you sleep till?

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Just in general? Now, God bless, I would say the
average is uh. Well, I'll tell you what. I I
set the clock still for six thirty because I don't
want to go past that.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Way.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Sometimes I bother, sometimes I do.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
I don't know why we bother to do anything before
six thirty on this radio station. If you're not getting up,
we'll start the show at six thirty.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
I always fire up the iHeartRadio app and listen to
you guys. And many times I'm up early. I'm up
by five, yeah or between five, and you know, I
never know for sure, but I don't want to go
past six thirty.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Jim and I get random texts from you throughout the show.
It's one of our favorite things throughout the morning.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Now I'm enjoying it. Actually. By the way, Ken Plica
is going to join us here and about seven thirty
five were talking earlier about the college basketball transfer portal
opening today and wondering about key players who still can
come back for Nebraska and will they Yeah, or Kent'
stake on that?

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Yeah, it'd be good to talk to Kent, not just
about that, but also his thoughts, you know, here on
the Nebraska basketball season, and.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
He had such a great run to you and people.
People really embraced Kent. Oh yeah, he's Lunacy is a stretch.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Definitely a member of our kfab family here and always
will be. Now Red Radio, you got it. We added
a new member of sorts of the family. You posted
on social media something rather personal and exciting the other day,
and I want to talk to you about that next year,
if that's all right? Shall we do that? Okay? Gary
Saddlemeyer is I can't imagine what it is. Yeah, well,

(27:50):
I think you probably remember posting it. I brought Gary
Sadlemeyer in here because Number one he's one of my
favorite people on the planet. And Ney Chance, I and
you know, spend time with you on or off the radio.
I look forward for the opportunity to lipe silent. And
also we promised that when you retired that you would
bomp in on the show from time and time again,
and we haven't had that.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Much of you.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
We need more Gary here, especially to tell stories like
a wonderful thing that you just posted on social media
the other day, Gary do tell.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Well, I posted up. I linded it too, Bubbles my
girlfriend on Thursday night.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
The famous Bubbles Latouche.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Bubbles Latouche that were engaged. You did a fevrorite cruise,
Caribbean cruise and I we had talked about it and
I said, here's here's where I got sneaky. I said, okay,
when we get back to Omaha, we'll go look at
rings Well. I already had it and I sneaked it

(28:58):
somehow got it through the airport everything without her seeing it,
and surprised her with it so small that I and so, yeah,
we're very happy about that. And the great thing about
that she's a wonderful woman and she keeps me in
line regardless of how many guys are ahead of me.

(29:20):
But we hit we hit it. We met two and
a half years ago thanks to Jim Rose and his wife.
They introduced us and went out a week or two
after that and just hit it off big. She is
many times. We have so much in common, you know.

(29:40):
And and I never thought, I mean, I was pretty
much done. I dated a little bit and I thought, okay,
and that was fine. But I don't, you know, I
got my family, friends are still working at my house.
I was. I was not upset, her down or anything.
And I thought that was you know, you settle in

(30:01):
and then lightning strikes. So that's so that's the story.
Bubbles is now Linda.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Very very exciting.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Can we still use she's tremendous?

Speaker 1 (30:13):
We still call her bubble course latouche? Yeah, excellent. Well,
congratulations and I saw the out pouring of support there.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
In your very nice Yeah. Yeah, we're very happy. And
when is the wedding that we're not talking wedding plans,
but we just wanted to make it. I suppose you
could say official publicly that we're committed. I want the
one girl one time. The boy was wild, very nice.

(30:44):
Valerie du Bois v D for short. You know, so,
so I've done with all that.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
I can tell you. It's not you've missed this and
you're trying to get the morning. I don't mean to
make this like an extension of how much most of
us celebrated your alleged retirement here from KFA B. We
noted you'll still be on from time to time, but
there's a lot of well wishes here in the inbox.

(31:13):
So this one via the talkback Mike and the Zonker's
custom Woods inbox. Hey, Gary colon Quin, all the way
from northern Wisconsin.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
What a delight it is to hear your voice this morning.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
It's like waking up and staying inside of my dream.

Speaker 4 (31:35):
Great to hear you.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Hope we get to hear you even more.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
Miss you like you cannot believe see.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
You, buddy.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
That's nice.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, the people are up drink part people are up
drinking early this morning. Really enjoyed having you here on
KF thans right, and now I'm a kid in a
candy store. Here I get to welcome on Camp Pavelka
into Nebraska Morning News as well. Can't Good morning, Good
morning guys.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Are you I'm great.

Speaker 5 (32:08):
On the air, What a year you in, Oh my wow,
I can't even I can't begin to even try.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
To explain it, well, can't.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
When did you know this Nebraska basketball team really had
something special going last summer.

Speaker 5 (32:23):
I went to watch him in June when they're allowed
to get together initially, and I saw him scrimmage a
couple of times, and I saw that they had everything
they needed. Ended up a couple of pieces short because
of injury, so they didn't have everything they needed at
the end.

Speaker 6 (32:39):
But I mean in terms of numbers, but they you know,
I just saw.

Speaker 5 (32:42):
That they had, you know, everything.

Speaker 6 (32:44):
Except the lead athleticism and they're.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
A little vertically challenged, but I mean they I thought
I thought they could be really really good.

Speaker 6 (32:51):
Now, I didn't know twenty and o good to start with,
but I'm not surprised.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Well, and he's right, can't. And I go lunchbow once
a month or so, and you you told me back then,
I think this is this team has a chance to
be really good. And I'm thinking, well, you know, Hope
springs eternal Point.

Speaker 5 (33:14):
Yeah, that's that's old Kent. Old Kent always says that, right.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Yeah, But yeah, no, I mean you were you were
very optimistic about this particular squad.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
But I think the big turning point with Connor, Assisian
gets hurt and I think I'm thinking, well, we don't
really have a sharpshooter. And then here comes Price Sandford.
And now as we go from dwelling on what just
happened this past season to looking forward to what coach
Hoiberg might be able to do next season, the big
question is is Sandford still does he have a chance

(33:46):
to continue to be a part of this Nebraska basketball team?
What do you think?

Speaker 5 (33:52):
Oh, I think for sure that there's a chance. There's
better than its just a chance. I think in endition
to Price, you uh, three other guys that you know
you need to if you can retain that be that'd
be Frager and bear k And and Kal Jacobson. Those
four guys, you know, all four of them are critical
to you know you need That's the first order order

(34:15):
of business with as far as the portal is concerned,
is to retain those guys. And I I would guess
that they're going to. I just don't know everything, but
I know a few things, and I'm guessing all four
of those guys will be back. Now, you know you
lose five, uh rink and JaMarcus and Sam. You got

(34:36):
a couple of freshmen coming in. There's there's five guys gone.

Speaker 6 (34:38):
Right yeah, uh and two coming in, so you got three.

Speaker 5 (34:42):
Open for sure. So the question now is what do
you get out of the portal?

Speaker 2 (34:46):
I'll tell you what I thought. Leo Curtis looked like
he can play if he can get about twenty pounds
on him or so, you know what I mean as
far as a big guy. Uh tell me though about uh,
I've struggled with it. Igneous Jerusaleicius, Okay, all right? Is

(35:07):
he is he? What? What? What status is his status?

Speaker 5 (35:12):
Well, he's got you you can appreciate that this I
certainly can't. I had back surgery. He's got got a
chronic back problem, and you know how those things are.
Apparently it's it's not treatable in terms of surgery because
he hasn't had surgery. So uh, you know, you just
don't know if you bring him back and spend a

(35:34):
lot of money on him and he can't play that problem.
But he has eligibility, right, yeah, I mean he can
he he he will would be eligible again with a
medical heart And.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
What about a season, But he's got he's got a year.

Speaker 5 (35:49):
Left, right, Yeah, yeah, he'll be okay.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
It'd be great to have him. But you look at
what Michigan did last night, went into national championship with
five transfers as their starting lineup, and and Nebraska with
what they were able to do on the national stage
this past year. That puts quite coach Hoiberg and this
team in a great position to attract some transfers to

(36:12):
this program. Do you think that this is going to
be something where maybe we end up losing a couple
of guys, maybe we take you know, some of them
for granted, just to try to go out there and
sell out to try and get a couple of transfers
to this program.

Speaker 5 (36:31):
Well, I'm sure, I'm sure they're going to try to
get you know, at least three. And it's it's all
about money now, I mean, can you compete with I
mean the guys that you want if they fit culturally
and they're you know, they fit what.

Speaker 6 (36:46):
You want in terms of what they can do on
the floor, and all the above depends on what their
price tag is. And you know, Nebraska's not going to
have as.

Speaker 5 (36:56):
Much money as as the elite even in the in
the Big Conference.

Speaker 6 (37:00):
But they're going to have more than they had last
year in.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
Terms of revenue sharing money.

Speaker 6 (37:05):
Tory Danen was on a halftime with US the ill
fated Iowa game, and that Iowa it doesn't matter anyway.

Speaker 5 (37:12):
He intimated that, you know, they Fred name have doubled
what he had last year in terms of revenue share money. Well,
this is the wild card part is the nil money.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
This is where the suits try and screw things up.
Because Fred built this program to where we're talking about
it here at this point in the season, and now
they're going to try and get him to do something
different than what he did to do everything he did
this past season. They got to put full trust in
Fred Hoiberg to continue to build this program. We talked
about port Olan's guys that might be coming in and

(37:45):
out Kent. There were a lot of people celebrating you
this past radio broadcast season.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
He was awesome.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Even got your own bobblehead. Are you going to be
back with this team next year?

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (37:56):
Well the bibblehead was you knows, created as a likeness
of me. It was, I mean, myad's bobbling right now.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
But yeah, what was the question, are you going to
be back with this team next year?

Speaker 6 (38:09):
Oh my goodness, Scott, you know i'd.

Speaker 5 (38:12):
Have you know, I'd have to kill you if I
told you. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
I Well, fifty years is a nice round number, a
trust me.

Speaker 5 (38:22):
Yeah, well that's only been fifty two.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, seventy four.

Speaker 5 (38:27):
But yeah, I you know, I love it. I loved it.
There was nothing like this last year. No man going
back fifty two years. But it's a lot of work. Man,
it's for an old man, right, Garret.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Oh, I wouldn't know. I'm not that.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Can I encourage you to I encourage you to stay?
Gary looks terrible. He's only been retired for a few months. Yeah,
can't always pleasure goal. Kent Pavelka, thank you so much
for joining us this morning.

Speaker 5 (38:58):
All right, thanks Gott here, doulator yep.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Big Red Radio. That is Kent Pavalka here with Gary
Sadlemeyer and me Scott Vorhees on News Radio eleven ten. Kfab.
Everything's going just swimmingly with the Artemis two. The astronauts
seem to have fixed the toilet, which is a minor
problem at your house. It's kind of a big deal.

(39:21):
On a rocket ship that's thousands of miles away from
the nearest plumber. But yesterday they flew around to the
far side of the Moon and looking forward to seeing
some of what they were able to capture in images
with this celestial flyby of the Pink Floyd dark side

(39:41):
of the Moon. But I can't imagine what it's like
to come around the Moon and be able to catch
that glimpse of the Earth way out there, thousands of
miles away as you're swinging around and trying to get
back there and thinking, let's see seems like an awfully
long ways away. I wonder if we got enough gas.

(40:04):
Gas prices are up. Gary Sadelemyer back here. Have you
been following it all this Artemis, Yeah a little bit.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
I saw that image. The Earth looked like the moon,
kind of like quarter moon was there was an eclipse
from their vantage point.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Yeah, wow, that's pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
I'll tell you what America right now and this military
Holy cow, the rescues of those two down airman. That's
a movie that they got to be doing that movie
right now. Yeah, I'm sure it's in the preliminary stages.
This guy is writing and casting.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
He's in a mountain crevice. Iran's trying to get him
so they can use him as a negotiating bargaining chip
and maybe a shield to save their lives. We got
a CIA operation going on, telling the Iranians, you know, yeah,
we got him, We're moving this way.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Meanwhile, we think perhaps Iran was playing tricks on us
because they we got a radio message it says God
is good, and so now we're like, well, is that
from our guy?

Speaker 2 (41:09):
But my understanding is there is a discrete radio frequency
that could only have been him, and that's how they.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
Knew unless they got him enforced him.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
I've got to say, the symbolism of him hiding in
a crevice or a cave on Good Friday and being
rescued on Easter, i mean, hello, yeah, is there something
more at work here? If you're a person of faith,
think about that.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
It's a beautiful, beautiful thing here on news radio eleven
ten kfa B. We love doing this. This is the
place we come together to laugh, cry, get through the
day together and wonder what in the world's going to
happen in Iran tonight. As it's a power plant and
bridge day, says the President. If Iran doesn't open up
the straight, you crazy. That's the President's sentiment on Sunday morning.

(41:59):
I'm Scott, he's Jim Rose and Lucy Chapman out today,
Craig Evanson here, and you're not hearing things. That is
the voice of Gary Sadelemeyer here on news radio eleven
ten KFA, Nebraska's Morning News. So Gary, I know that
you listen every single day, text messages of criticism. Prove
it and what do you make of jeans to author?

(42:23):
On Friday started saying, look, I've invited some of these
city officials here, like the director of Public Works, for example,
to come on the radio we to talk about stuff
going on in town. And I have good relationships with
these people I've invited on my program. And they said, well,
they got to clear it with Mayor Ewing, and Mayor
Ewing said no, we're not going to have these people

(42:44):
on her show. So she started complaining about it on Friday,
and yesterday afternoon posted to his Facebook page. Here is
a response to request for city directors appearing on former
mayor's show. Johnny Wing says and May twenty twenty five,
Omaha voters overwhelmingly chose to have a change of a leadership.

(43:07):
Before I even took office. I assessed the city's department heads,
decided to keep all along with mayor's staff who wished
to stay to wish to stay. I saw value in
their contributions and in reducing the disruption that can come
with the new administration. The act was rather novel for Omaha,
and former Mayor Jean Stothard criticized it. Then ten months later,

(43:27):
nearly all of the city's senior leaders remain in their positions.
Former Mayor Stouther now has a new call in radio
show in which she has opined on politics and decisions
my administration has made. While we appreciate and acknowledge the
former mayor's many years of service, we are declining her
request to host city department heads on her show. Sending

(43:49):
senior leaders to explain or defend my administration's actions to
a hardly objective host puts them in an awkward and
potentially compromising position. Not believe it would be productive. Will
continue the long standing practice of this office and most
organizations of vetting media requests. We will continue sharing timely

(44:09):
fact based information through press conferences, news interviews, public meetings,
and more. As mayor, I have personally tried to say
yes to most news media requests, whether they come from
a student journalist, a startup news organization, or a legacy
media outlet like KFAB, and I will continue to do
so as my schedule permits. What do you think of

(44:31):
that response from Mary? Well, they're very well written. Fact
of the matter is, uh, there's bad blood, you know
between these two. John has put if Mary Ewing has
put out a statement that he can defend, he can
defend that statement as far as it goes.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
But you know, and I know that genes intent would
not be able to use those interviews to hammer the administration. Ah,
I don't believe it would. If there's an issue that's
important relative to whatever city policy or whatever the department

(45:11):
had is. We've done it here obviously your show, in
the morning show when I was doing it, and it
wasn't it wasn't an adversarial interview. It was an informational interview,
and that's what she would do. I'm confident he either
doesn't think so, or he's saying, what do you think
of this? Yeah, you're not getting you know, you're not
getting a cooperation from us.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
I can appreciate that if if Jeene Stothard hired a
lot of these people worked with him, was her boss
what they were, she was their boss for several years.
The phrase here from Mary Ewing sending senior leaders to
explain or defend my administration's actions to a hardly objective
post puts them in an awkward and potentially compromising position.

(45:53):
I can appreciate that as it relates to Gene Stothard.
I mean the overall question here of sending senior leaders
to laying the administration's actions to a hardly objective host. Well,
that's that should be anyone in an interview setting, right,
any any host. We don't do reading press releases here
and welcoming you on the program. We have good conversations

(46:15):
with a lot of people. We're very friendly with a
lot of people, and I think Mayor Ewing included. But
even when we have people on the radio show here
with whom we have a friendly relationship, we still ask
him tough questions. Your phone in mind have both blown
up over the years. We'd have Mayor Stothard on here,
ask her a few questions that she wasn't real pleased by,

(46:35):
and then we start getting text messages. Yes, and you
know that's that's how this works. I've got a few
more things to share about I will say my response
in just a moment.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
But okay, Well, she she was extraordinarily available whenever we
wanted her have her on, and the few times I
asked Mayor Ewing to come on, he was too and
I would text him directly. I've known John for twenty
so I'm here so so, I mean, I can't have
an issue with him about that. But this, to me,
this is about really if if you shut it all down,

(47:06):
this is about bad blood. Yeah, he Jean said yesterday.
When you're in a campaign, the fact of the matter
is you do hate each other. Right, Usually you get over.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Well, he didn't say, I'm not and nor will any
of these people come on right or do interviews with anybody.
But I do want to stand up for our ten
o'clock host here on Kfab on one front, and we'll
get to that next. Gary Sadlemeyer reluctantly came in here
to hang out forbid. Yeah, he reluctantly came in here

(47:37):
to hang out with me. He joyously came in here
to hang out with you. No, I do I do
love it, and we thank you, thank you, thank you
for responding to the mayor's.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
Well, except I'm in the wrong chair.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
I know, it's very weird for both of us. Johnny
Wing had a response here to Jean stother most of
the KFABE comment line weekdays ten am. Here on eleven ten,
Kofab said, I wanted to talk to someone in the
mayor's office about something going on in town, and that
request went through the mayor's public information director and came

(48:14):
down from the mayor's office. No, we're not going to
put our our department heads on Jean Stothard show because
in the statement, sending senior leaders to explain or defend
my actions to a hardly objective host puts them in
an awkward and potentially compromising position. We don't believe it
would be productive.

Speaker 4 (48:33):
So I re.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
Position. But I when it comes to Gene Stothard, so
I can appreciate that. So here's what I post.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
He probably he probably legitimately thinks that that's what it
would be about. I don't, but he's the mayor. As
the w said, he's a decider and he you know,
but again, bad blood exists, Sam even if he didn't

(49:04):
think that, or if he doesn't think that, he's probably
just going to say I'm not going to cooperate with
her in any way. Now I do know, and this
was fairly public she was not happy with Tom Warren
when the mayor asked him to stay honest chief of staff.
She felt that was a little disloyal of Tom. As
far as the other departments, I don't know. He Ewing

(49:26):
kind of indicates that she was negative about that. I
don't remember that part at all, at least publicly. Well.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
Tom Warren and John Ewing grew up there.

Speaker 2 (49:34):
Yeah, kids, buddies, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
And Stothard and Warren when he was her chief of staff,
apparently had a great relationship. So here was my response
to the mayor statement. I posted this, shared that was good,
shared his statement, posted this as well. I do not
agree with the sentiment here from John Ewing that our
ten am host of the KFAB comment line, Jean Stothard,

(49:58):
would not be fair in a conversation with city officials
or anyone on her program. I appreciate Mary Ewing's statement
Rather than simply ignore this, he shared his personal and
professional feelings on the matter, and I respect that. I
look forward to having him on our station when circumstances warrant.
Stothard would not be the first KFAB host in our
station's history to be turned down for an interview by

(50:21):
elected officials, and she won't be the last. But both
the city of Omaha and our radio station recognized that
in times of triumph and trouble, it is important for
our two entities to have a respectful, working relationship. And
I'm glad that will continue. It's not going to continue
on her show right now, but you've been a part

(50:43):
of You've been part of this radio station for a
few decades. Like I said, this is not the first time.
And the elected official said, I am not going to
talk to that person on your radio.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
I can tell you this, for the last what ten
years at least that I was doing the morning.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
Show, you were doing them more morning show here.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
I did actually for a while, shouted quickly, they forget
at least ten years, maybe even a little longer. I
couldn't get a Democrat politician in Nebraska to come on
state senators now. The last one, I well, we did
talk to John Cavanaugh shortly before I stepped away about

(51:25):
the medical marijuana issue. But other than that, I couldn't
never get I couldn't ever get MICHAELA. Kavanaugh, No, you
did have. I couldn't get I couldn't get you know that.
And Mayor subtle would come on when he was when
he was mayor. But other than that, no, sorry, no

(51:46):
or or just no response at all.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
Yeah, and really Ewing could have just ignored this rather
than put out that statement, because.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
All right, so we'd be good that he didn't.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Yeah, we make a few flaps about it here on
the radio, but everyone else essentially moves on with their lives.
He could have ignored this and it would have been
gone in a couple of days. Like I said, I
respect him releasing the stage.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
And she I'm sure we'll respond to that this morning.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
She's on a ten.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
Yet another message about our co host today, Gary Satlemaier,
And also a question about Lucy not being here Warner Scott,
we missed you.

Speaker 4 (52:25):
Garys Hey, you're not saying that Lucy's she's not on
attorney leaves?

Speaker 5 (52:32):
Is she.

Speaker 4 (52:34):
Just checking? Just making sure great show guys day.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
I can tell you that's infinitively Lucy Chapman is not
on maternity leave. Gary Sadlemeyer is here. Yeah, and we
now welcome on to the program from Fox News Radio
for the latest here on power plant and Bridge Day
and whatever might be coming towards Iran. Fox News Radio's
Evan Brown joins us on elevenfab Evan, good morning. What's

(53:02):
the latest from Iran?

Speaker 3 (53:04):
Good morning? Yeah, The latest is that Iran has taken
some strikes this morning. They have been hit on carg
Island by the US military. Significant targets hit there. Some
other targets are reportedly hit, including rail bridges in a
rail station that may have been the work of the Israelis.

Speaker 6 (53:21):
We don't know.

Speaker 3 (53:23):
But President Trump earlier today a couple of I would saying,
maybe about an hour or so ago, posted on his
truth social account the following. These are his words. A
whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.
I don't want that to happen, but it probably will.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
Look you can understand that phrasing if we're talking about
trying to decimate a leadership that cares about their own people.
I don't know what's left of the Iranian leadership, but
they've shown time and time again for decades they don't
care about their own people, which kind of calls into
question why the president would phrase it that way. That's
one of the questions you might have. And hearing something

(54:03):
like that, isn't.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
It Well, you certainly wonder what he means by that.
But it's a pretty ominous thing for the president to say,
and one wonders, how do you back up something like that.
So we probably will know later tonight exactly what he means,
but he does mean. He said this and in so

(54:25):
many words, that there is already a regime change under way,
that the power structure is gone, and they're dealing with
other elements that he says are more moderate. I don't
know if they're more moderate, but they might be more pragmatic.
They may be willing to accept the fact that they've
been defeated. But that being said, Iranian negotiator, who I
guess was dealing with the Pakistani mediators, spoke to Reuters

(54:50):
this morning saying we're not agreeing to any kind of ceasefire.
We want a permanent end of the war and that
means the US needs to call off Israel from it
strikes against us and our our friends, which means hesblon
the Huthi's and Kamas and things like that. I don't
think Israel would go for that. I don't even think
the United States would go for that. I think the

(55:10):
US and Israel means to dispel the the Iranian Islamic
regime once and for all. Anything short of that won't
bring about the end of hostilities.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
Yeah, we can look at what happened in Japan that
effectively ended that part of World War Two and draw
some parallels. But I think when we're talking about this president,
he loves to win, and he certainly likes to look
like you want. I wonder if he's saying this because
he already knows that there is a late day announcement.
He will be able to make the shows that we

(55:43):
have achieved our goals in Iran and we're moving forward.
That's what I'm hoping for. I mean, that's what we
all have to be hoping for here. But Evan, you
got to wonder who's really in charge over there. You
have someone identified as the Secretary of the Supreme Council
of Youth and Ado Lessons in Iran who might be
the last leader standing. That goes quite a way down

(56:05):
the total pole. If you're talking about leadership in that
country and he's telling the people in Iran to form
a hands across to America, you know, human shield around
bridges and power plans. Any evidence that's actually.

Speaker 3 (56:17):
Happening, and we don't know if he's the person saying
that and he's the person talking to us, we don't
really know. There may be some different factions that are,
you know, vying for power right now. That's always a possibility.
The fear could be that what remains mostly is the IRGC,
and that's like having the SS run the Third Reich itself.

(56:38):
That's the most fanatical of the fanaticals. So if that
is who is running things, then we continue to have
a problem. But they may assert that they're running things,
but they may not have the effective control that they
think they have or that they're trying to pretend that
they have. I mean, anything of this is possible. So

(56:59):
I'm hoping that we would get a more clear picture
at some point as to who we are speaking with
and exactly how in control are they that those are
questions I have.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
We are in Waight and c Mode Evan Brown always
appreciate the time. Thank you for the reporting, you bet.
Gary Sadelemeyers checked back in here on Nebraska's Morning News.
We just talked to Evan Brown from Fox News Radio.
The President says, an entire civilization will be gone unless culture.
Entire culture will be gone unless the Iran agree. I

(57:30):
don't know who's left to agree with the president here
out of Iran here, but tough talk from a couple.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
Of things occur to me. One is he purposely speaking
in the language that the lunatics always speak forty seven
years at least and Iran. Yeah, and those people, why
we're gonna, We're gonna, you know that at the end
of the Great Satan will be like that. He's speaking of.

Speaker 1 (57:57):
The powels of a thousand fire ants and affect your eyeball.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
May the fleas of a thousand camels. Maybe he's speaking
trying to speak in the language they understand. The other
thing that occurs to me when he's talking about an
entire culture, Man tonight, he's talking about the maniacs. He's
not talking about the Persian culture, which is centuries old
and really quite vital. But man, tonight's the big deal.

(58:25):
What we're looking at tonight. And you talk about, you know,
trying to deal with lunatics, how about this guy Saturday,
riding around on a scooter down by close to Creighton University,
just to sign I think I'll just stab a couple
guys random. Yeah, what you never know, man, you never know.

Speaker 1 (58:46):
That's the kind of people with whom the President is
attempting to deal and threatening.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
Here.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
By the way, he did say the phrasing is a
whole civilization will die. But I take that to mean,
as you did, the culture not work going.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
Well used culture.

Speaker 1 (59:01):
I think now he used the word civilization, but I
think that the two words are interchangeable. I don't think
that he's talking about nuking and just just people in Iran.
But at the same time, that's how World War two
ended with Japan, and I think the circumstances are very

(59:22):
very different to you know, several years of war, what
happened to Pearl Harbor. I mean, Iran has been would
have loved to have done any of that stuff, and
we had to stop him. But I don't think this
calls for the Aola gay to come back to the
scene here. So yeah, we'll we'll see. The president has
certainly talked tough. I still think that the president loves

(59:46):
to win, or at least come off as having won,
and if he didn't feel like victory was something he
could announce later today because he already knew it was
going to happen. That's possible, then maybe he wouldn't say
something like that, anything's possible at this point.

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
All right, consequential day, I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
Gary. Thank you very much for hanging out with us.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
This is my pleasure man. Thanks for asking
