Speaker 1 (00:00):
Great to have you with us here. It's Friday morning.
This is Nebraska's Morning News with Lucy Chapmin, Craig Evans,
and Jim Rose. I am Scott Voorhees here on News
Radio eleven ten kfab. People spend thousands and thousands and
thousands of dollars on childbirth, whether it's making sure that
(00:24):
they've got a doula or some sort of shaman or
a team of medical professionals ready to catch them as
they get into the maternity ward or their local hospital,
and they spend sometimes two three days. There is a
hospital and you've got a team of people coming in there,
how's everyone doing, checking on all this stuff. The process
(00:47):
for childbirth involves sometimes you get and anesthetician that comes
in there, and you've got various nurses and doctors people
you've met with for months to come in there, and
all of them get paid. And then every once in
a while you get a couple racing from Fremont towards
the Omaha Methodist Women's Hospital who end up pulling off
(01:08):
the side of the road and giving birth at one
hundred and ninety second in Dodge. And that's what happened
this week here in Omaha. Contractions came early. Well, I'll
pull over, we'll have the baby here. Dad caught the
baby in the car. I don't what kind of car
are they driving. This is the first thing that needs
(01:29):
to happen here is find out what kind of car
this couple is driving. And the automobile manufacturer needs to
come out and say, this thing is so roomy you
can give birth in this car, which is a little
different than the car that I had back in the
day where the deal was, have you get this car,
(01:50):
you might be able to conceive a child in this car,
But now later you get you can give birth to
a six pound baby girl. Right there, that car's got
some follow through right on the side of the road.
I wonder if the airbag went off. So they're what
they're one hundred and ninety second Street ramp on Dodd Street.
(02:13):
Where's the Methodist Women's Hospital? In ninety second? Isn't it
right there?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
No?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Wa even isn't it a hunderd eightieth?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
One hundred ninety second? Yeah, it's right there, right off Dodge.
Yeah it is. It's on the north side of the
road there, Yeah, but it's not one hundred and ninety second.
Then it's anyway they were. Boy, he was so close.
I wonder if when because it says this is a
Fremont couple. All was their fourth kid. Ah, you can
(02:41):
give the fourth kid. You can deliver the fourth kid
on your way to work and not miss any time.
It's a fourth kid. Now, the first kid, you're in there.
You're in there probably three days earlier than you're actually
going to give birth. You want to make sure that
you're there. Second kid, you cut it a little bit closer.
(03:03):
Third kid, it's like you, look, I've I've done this rodeo.
In fact, I'm at a rodeo. I'm gonna wait till
the rodeos over. I know my water broke after the
second exhibition here, but I think I can make it.
And by the fourth kid you just delivered on your
way to work. You've already got the baby car seat
(03:23):
there in the car and put it in there and
go all and I'd be quiet. Mommy's got to go
into work, and you don't even missing any time. So
right there in the passenger seat, dad's on the phone
with nine to one one and they showed up and
he's holding the baby, cutting it with the whatever he
(03:45):
had in the glovebox. I got one of these multi
use tools right here in the glovebox, got the umbilical cord.
Doctors show up, anyone need us for anything now? And
everyone else is thinking, why do I pay all these
professionals we've got. We've got teams of doctors and nurses
and doulas and and all kinds of people. You pay
(04:08):
thousands and thousands. And then once in a while, someone
gives birth in a taxi cab and this cab driver
turns around and goes, oh my gosh and gives birth
and the kids fine.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah, well, you know, the hospital recouped its cost with
all of the emergency care, the ambulance care.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
That stuff's not cheap.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, I was pretty worried about the hospital. How are
they going to keep the lights on? If people find
out they can give birth in cars, then no one's
gonna need the hospital anymore. Then what are we gonna do?
Speaker 4 (04:38):
The FAA is investigating after a report that two airline
pilots were making animal noises while making a landing at
Reagan National Airport Sunday.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
You guys, union.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
The pilots could be disciplined for having this conversation during
the approach to the airport. Regulations prohibit pilots from engaging
in non essential conversations when they're below ten thousand feet altitude.
I'm Craig Evans. More news at the bottom of the
hour at NewsRadio eleven ten KFAB.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You can't discipline those pilots. They're furries. They identify as cats,
like a lot of middle school kids. This is a
real thing, according to various English teachers and schools all
over the Omaha metro area. All right, good morning, I'm
Scott Vorhees. There's Craig Evans, Lucy Chapman here, and Jim
(05:33):
Rose with sports brief momentarily on news Radio eleven ten
KFAB and Nebraska's Morning News. I guess I haven't heard
that rumor in a while. For a while there, it
was pretty hot. People would send me an email. By
the way, Zonker's custom woods in box open for you,
Scott at KFAB dot com. I'd say, Scott, I know,
I have a friend whose friend's wife is a teacher
(05:56):
in Millard and they're letting kids be They all think
they're cats. They all wear little cat's ears and cat's tails,
and they say Miao miaow, and they want cat nip,
and they rub up against the teacher's legs, and they
need a litter box in the classroom, and so they
put a litter box in the classroom. It's happening right
there in Miller's school. I said, yeah, which school. Well, hey,
(06:16):
I'll find out, Like, do you really know this person? Well,
I know someone who knows someone whose wife is the
like it was, no one ever knew whether or not
any of that was happening. Now, the reality is, if
you have kids in school, you'll see a couple of
kids who dress interestingly. But I have yet to have
any confirmed reports of any litter boxes in any schools.
(06:38):
Not to say that someone wouldn't then follow it through
to his logical conclusion and do that. The Daily Wire
has a story today that says when migrants from Muslim
countries are trying to get into Great Britain and seek asylum,
one big thing that they're doing is they're telling them, yeah,
we have to come here because we're gay, and if
(07:01):
we if we end up being openly gay in our
strict Islamic nation we fled, they'll kill us immediately. So
we have to come here to Great Britain and you
have to give us asylum because we are we are
very gay, haven't been gay for a long time. But boys,
since last Tuesday it really set in. And I don't know,
and the the the BBC reporter who goes under cover
(07:25):
to a meeting organized by a group that tries to
support people who are seeking asylum and say, look, you
got to have a backstory, We got to get some pictures.
What are you guys doing with the pictures? What exactly that?
That sounds like a good way to meet people. Yeah,
that's I'm I'm familiar with that scam. Oh you want
(07:47):
to seek asylum, you want to be in Great Britain. Well,
first we have to convince them that you are on
the LGBTQ spectrum. And you know the only way to
do that make out with me. Yeah, I'm onto that one.
Let's go to the eleven ten KFAB Certified Transmission Sports Brief.
Here is Jim Rosy.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
You're a solution driven guy. You solve problem horning.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
How you doing good? I'll solve all of your problems. Well,
you better get out a list and I'll make I'll
make more problems than I saw.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, yeah, you'll create more trouble than you ever ever solved.
Sizeable baseball series down in Lincoln for the weekend. At
least one half of Hawk's field will house a College
World Series level team, but both teams think they are
a College World Series level team. USC twelve national titles
is here number eight in the country. Huskers coach Will
(08:38):
Boldt says this is like the good old days when
we were in the Big twelve and a ranked team
played Nebraska every week.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
We've had some, you know, really really great crowds through
the years, good matchups, and I don't know that we've
had a team that's coming here in a really long
time with the type of pitching numbers that USC has
and type of team that they have and how consistent
they've been. So it's going to be a great test
for us.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Very good pitch staff.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
USC is the best one in the country, led by
All American Mason Edwards, who leads the nation in strikeouts.
The Trojan staff has a combined ERA of three point
thirty nine that is number one, but Nebraska's staff is
pretty good. Bold is shuffling his rotation. Ty Horn is
now in the bullpen, so Cooper Katski, the transfer from
Miami in Ohio is the Friday night guy. Why because
(09:23):
he lasts long, has gone at least five innings and
all of his six starts. Horn only went five innings
in four of his ten. With these guys, you gotta
get the leader, you'll lose. But Nebraska can say the
same thing. Tonight Tomorrow afternoon Sunday Afternoon Big League Baseball
in the American League, it was Detroite winning again ten
(09:44):
to nine over the Royals. This time Kansasity had some offense,
but the bullpen blew up. Detroit scored three in the
ninth inning. The Angels over the Yankees, Tampa, Bay, Texas
and Cleveland got wins. Nation League Washington eight, Pittsburgh seven,
San Francisco three, the Red's nothing, Milwaukee two one over Toronto,
and interleague play Colorado beat Houston three to two, San
Diego five, Seattle two, Indianapolis, who went over Omaha twelve
(10:06):
to five. The NCAA seems to be listening to the
football coaches. They want the season to start Labor Day weekend.
The Oversight Committee is ready to make that recommendation. It
would take effect in twenty twenty seven. It would allow
the schools fourteen weeks to schedule twelve games. That means
two buys for everybody, and it gives the TV people
(10:27):
more inventory. NASCAR is in the Neighborhood Speedway in Kansas
City for the event this weekend. It is the Advent
Health four hundred. What is a hospital doing sponsoring a
NASCAR race? Check your medical bill? All the big names
are there. Playoff hockey this weekend. Three games tomorrow Carolina, Ottawa, Dallas, Minnesota,
Pittsburgh and the Flyers. More on Sunday. The Stanley Cup
(10:49):
final will be sometime in June. On the golf course,
Ludwig Aborg. Yeah, sixty three in the first round at Hildenhead.
That is good golf. Two others are seven under. The
win must have been down sports. His news on Nebraska's News,
Weather and Traffic station. Governor Pillen was not happy with
the legislature. Oh, I thought, he's not happy with us again.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
No, well, I don't know. He didn't veto us, vetoed
just about everything else. Yesterday was veto day at the
Governor's office. Do you follow any idea? Didn't like anything?
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Well, uh, there were a couple in particular the unicamer
passed a bill that would allow municipalities to override the
hard cap, which is not really a hard cap that
was passed in the twenty twenty four special session. Uh,
because they go, oh, well, if there's a snowflake in.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
The AARP, that's an emergency. We're gonna override this. Cities.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
For all you mayors and city council people out there
were India, Okay, we get it. We know what don Grocer,
you get it. You guys know what we're doing here. Uh,
And we know what you're doing here. And the governor
knows what you're doing here, and he's trying to control
property taxes by putting a bridle on you. And you
(11:59):
guys complain all the time, and you spend a bunch
of money on lobbyists to get the forty nine full
brides to listen to your whining and complaining about how
you have no money, when in reality, especially in towns
like Lincoln and Omaha, where property taxes and valuations go
up every year, valuations will go up between ten and
(12:19):
twenty and thirty percent every year, which means even if
the levee holds steady, you get a bunch more money, right.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
All right, see, let's just clarify what you just said there,
because you said property taxes and valuations go up every year.
In many instances, property taxes don't go up. In fact,
in some cases, like Mayor souther used to say, we
did our best to bring property taxes down, and it's
a little bit, little bit. But when your valuation suddenly
(12:47):
gets spiked up there, you're paying more in property taxes.
No matter what happened to that levee rate, you're paying
a lot more. And so what the unicamer a few
years ago said, here are property tax caps, and then
some of these cities said.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Just levee caps, not property tax caps. Nobody has cap
property taxes. They capped the levee. What they do is
say you can only raise your mill levee x them
out and that only comes for emergencies or bond issues,
which I think is a crap sandwich too. This is
all intellectual dishonesty by the political anyway. The legislature told
(13:25):
these tones you can you can't do that. They saw
to vote to the people and they said we're gonna
go ahead and do it. Yeah, And the governor said, no,
you're not. Who was trying to do what so what
they were trying to do. It actually goes back a
couple of years before the cap went into place. These
cities jacked up their levees to squirrel away the money
(13:47):
for when the caps did take effect, which is twenty
twenty five. Uh, and they are soft caps. Some municipalities
probably paid attention to them, but most didn't, okay, because
they started looking for loopholes in the law. And then
they started whining and complaining to the fort one of
their forty nine ful brides to say, this is killing
us man. We can't we can't pay for street lights,
(14:09):
we can't mow the grass and city parks. We got
homeless people stacked up like Cordwood. We got to do something.
So the Unicamra passed this law that allowed people to
these municipalities to raise their levees on quote unquote the
emergency clause. And the emergency clause was going to be
snowflakes in the air. No, the emergency clause is for
(14:30):
when the nuclear bomb goes off, or when there's a
flood or a tornado comes through town. Not because you're
going to use this as a way to jack up
the levees. Screw the property tax owners just to get
more money for your projects. And what he's asking is
these communities, in these school districts need to learn to
do more with less. And to your point that you
made a minute ago. And this is never reported on
(14:53):
very well in the media except here. When the property
valuations go up, revenues to the municipalities, the counties, and
the school districts go up, they don't raise taxes.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
They don't have to.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
That is technically true, right, They're not raising taxes because
they don't have to. Because our good friend, the Douglas
County assessor does that forum. Now he's following the law,
or she's following the law, but we need to change
the law. But the truth is, this is the intellectual
dishonesty that has been perpetrated on Nebraska property owners for years.
(15:28):
I didn't raise your taxes, and I used to make
fun of Jeene. I'd say, Gene, you know you're trying
to win political points because you say, well.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I lowered them.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Okay, you may have lowered the levy a little bit,
the city's portion of the property tax, but you still
got to boatload more money because everybody's property valuations went up,
so please don't insult the listeners and the voters by
saying you lowered their taxes.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
You really didn't. So to really put a very fine
point on this, the governor and several people ran for
office and said, all right, we're gonna get together. We're
gonna work together, we're gonna what were your property taxes?
Did that happen in this session? No? No, it hadn't
happened yet. Did anyone expect it to happen? And we
were hoping because we were promised? Yeah, but did you
expect it? No?
Speaker 3 (16:10):
But I kept hoping, since these guys make promises during
campaigns that one of these days they'll actually make good
on the promise.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
That hasn't happened yet. Was the governor just in a
bad mood yesterday? He vetoed all these bills. One of
them was sponsored by state Senator John Cavanaugh of Omaha.
He's running for Congress. He's the one who, as Jim
was saying, like, ah, these guys said a few snowflakes
would be emergency. Well, the measure would have said that
ice control, that's lowercase CE, not immigration, customs enforcement, ice control,
(16:45):
flood response and snow removal would count as emergency services
under state law, which would then allow some of these
municipalities to raise property taxes, and that was sponsored by
State Senator John Cavanaugh. Governor Pillen said, these places already
have lots of budgets for emergency services, and if they don't,
(17:08):
then they apply to the state, which then applies to
the federal government FEMA for additional money. It looks like
this is just an excuse to try and raise your
property taxes. He vetoed it, and people are like, you
only vetoed this because it was sponsored by State Senator
John Cammall. Oh, that's the reason. And then Governor Pillen
went out there and he had a judge position open.
(17:31):
One of those who applied for it is Omaha City
council member Amy Melton, who is also an attorney and
I'm sure would be a fine judge. Governor Pillen gave
it to someone else, and some of the political whispers
in the wind say that the reason that the governor
didn't give that judge position to Amy Milton is because
(17:54):
Amy Melton's sister, Theresa Thibodeaux, ran against Jim Pillen for
governor of Nebrata, and this was out of political spite.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I don't believe that either, because remember Teresa dropped out
of the race. First, she was a candidate to be
Chuck Charles Herbster's lieutenant governor, and she never really came
clean on why she left that operation, which left open
lots of room for imagination. Yeah, she ran. She was
not a serious candidate. She didn't take any boats away
(18:22):
from what. I don't know that's fair to say she was.
She was not a serious threat to win. She was
a serious candidate. She was never a serious threat to win,
So she didn't take any boats awayrom Jim Pillen, I
don't think that's it. First of all, there are a
lot of capable people out there to be a judge,
so it's competitive. It's not like Amy was the only one. Yeah,
they he appointed Michael W.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Jensen. This guy's got a very long record of working
with the state's criminal Bureau. Looks very well qualified. I'm
sure he'll be a great judge. Now, yesterday's Rosie de
Genozi delved into the mental health issue. We talked about
this yesterday, We talked about this Wednesday in the wake
of Tuesday morning's incident at the walmart, and looking back
(19:06):
at the same woman who was trying to cut up
a kid and probably would have killed that three year
old boy in the Walmart park and a lot of
police had not heroically intervened. You look back to two
years ago, and she's trying to cut up her dad
and then a father in the local Catholic church and
set fire to everybody, and she was let out not
guilty by reason of insanity. And a lot of people
(19:29):
have been saying, who's the judge, who's the judge? Well,
the judge was Douglas County District Court Judge Leanne Reddelsdorf.
And while she couldn't talk specifically about that case, why,
but she did talk with k E TV's Julie Cornell
about the situation of what judges are able to do
(19:51):
or not able to do in a situation like that.
Here's a bit of that report. Here's a bit of that.
Here we go now.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
Retired District Court Judge Leanne Rudelsdorf presided over dozens of
insanity cases during her career, and even in retirement, feels
the barbes of public opinion.
Speaker 7 (20:11):
Where do we focus our arrows? And I've heard in
the last couple weeks a lot of the judge should
have kept somebody in jail.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
The judge wants people to understand how the defense works.
It starts with the defense filing for an insanity plea
that triggers an evaluation by the state on the defendant's
mental condition. What it needs to prove is basically.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
Didn't know. The difference between right and wrong is a
kind of a shorthand way to say that.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
At that point it gets more complicated. A finding is
made by the court of not responsible for reason of insanity,
and the regional center again enters the case.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
Now here's the important part. The legislature has deemed that
the regional center prepare a treatment plan. That treatment plan
has to be and these are the keywords, the least
restrictive treatment plan that is in the interest of the
defendant and the public.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
The judge has to choose the least restrictive plan, and
the law goes on to say that the defendant doesn't
have to check in for an entire year. Redelsdorff and
other judges try to take that one step further to
protect both the ill person and the public by adding
a clause of their own.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
That should the defendant not be compliant with the treatment plan,
the therapist, the agency who's supervising should immediately notify.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
The court, but since there's no enforcement arm like a
criminal probation office, the status of the subjects is often
not reported.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
This is so aggravating, Jim Rose. This is like, well, hey,
they told us we got to we can't do anything
the least restrictive treatment plan and the interest of the
defendant and the public. Okay, go back to what she
said when she said, you have to prove that they
didn't know the difference between right and wrong. When she
went into the church two years ago and the boke
(22:04):
into the chair the priest, the priest who said, what
are you doing here? And she goes, I'm going to
do a lot of bad things, but I'm probably not
going to hurt you, but I'm going to do she no, no,
she tried to take swipes with a knife and then
set the place on fire. But she said, I'm going
to do bad things in here. And this is after
she took a knife to her dad and set him
in lighter fluid to set him on fire, which suggests
(22:26):
that she knew that this is what would happen in
this instance. How is the least restrictive treatment plan in
the best interest of the defendant and especially the public,
to let her out, have her check in with someone
who doesn't have to tell anyone. If she's not checking in,
there's no probation officer. It's just like, well, we'll just
hope for the best. The hope for the best led
(22:47):
to what happened to Walmart. Yeah, there's no enforcement arm.
And again we talked about this.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
We've talked about it for two straight days, bringing up
a little bit more today. In the beginning, the first
thing is what's this judge doing. I personally think Leanne
Rebelsdorf is one of the best judges we've ever had.
I'm not a crazy legal eagle you know that follows
every court case. But the lawyers that I know of
say this one was really good. So when she retired
(23:12):
that was a real loss. But she couldn't offen anything.
Are those defense attorneys that they're both prosecutors and defensens
But she couldn't have done anything under the law. Now,
if you want to legislate from the bench, and some
do just follow Donald Trump's legal issues, You've got a
different kettle of fish. But if most judges do what
they're supposed to do, which is simply interpret the laws
(23:34):
that have been passed by elected officials.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
This is what we have.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
So once again it goes back to the legislature, and
I don't have a lot of confidence in those people
to do anything right and let alone this. But the
truth is, whoever came up with this idea to establish
a statute that handcuffs judges to impose the least restrictive
measures against somebody who is clearly mentally deranged, who has
(24:02):
demonstrated harm potential to themselves and to the public. That
person should be dragged around the town square by their ankles.
Who thought that was a good idea?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
The phrase least restrictive implies that there is some restriction.
I don't see anything.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
There's no restriction, and there is no enforcement arm if
she violates the slight.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Conditions that they put on her in the first play,
and she says, oh yeah, I've presided over dozens of
insanity cases. Where are the rest of them? You know?
This is this is not a good situation, and it's
not getting any better.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Not not until next January. Next January, and they will
just do then. Sorry, they got a seven hundred million
dollar debt to deal with on the first day of
the session next year.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I'm pessimistic they won't do anything.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Well maybe well, Kathleen Calf Catherine Calf, Kathleen Senator Calf
KK She did support a bill in the Unicamera that
didn't get out of committee this year that would have
beefed up statutes and restrained metal patients. Those obviously are
the ones that rival Ms Guzman.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Well, she's not in charge of just executive orders down. No,
we don't do a of able to reside and people
need to listen, all right, and maybe they'll listen to
the family of this three year old kid, Thank you
very much. Jim Rose, Traffic Weather News.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Next, the FAA is investigating after a report that two
airline pilots were making animal noises while making a landing
at Reagan National Airport Sunday.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Well, you guys make it be a professional pilot. Now.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
The pilots could be disciplined for having this conversation during
the approach to the airport. Regulations prohibit pilots from engaging
in non essential conversations when they're below ten thousand feet altitude.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I don't know if that's funny or horrible. I do know, though, Lucy,
why they kept doing it. As you heard in the
sound bite from Craig, these guys start going eh, and
then the guy from air traffic Control comes on there
and says, you guys need to act like professional pilots. Sorry.
At that point, the inner first grader immediately takes over
(26:17):
and starts doubling and tripling down. You guys got to
act professional. Me me me that. You couldn't help it.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Use it sounds like what they did.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I know, that's exactly, And that's why they did it, okay,
because because someone told them to stop doing it, because
they have to act like professional pilots. These guys are
up there flying the plane, and you got some air
traffic control guy not saying that they're not important. They
certainly are. It's got to be a team effort. But
someone's like, hey, you guys got to grow up. Immediately,
most guys are like, you got to grow up. Your
(26:51):
mom needs to grow up. That's how guys' brains work,
and they barely work, but whatever synapse is in there
are very childish. Can you guys grow up and stop
doing that? That's why they did it. I'm happy to
explain guy's behavior. I'm still trying to come up with
(27:12):
some explanation for why Jim does what he does. We
have several different stories, all revolving around the same guy.
And when this happens and it involves the president of
the United States, we put these stories together in something
we call a Trump date.
Speaker 8 (27:27):
So get out to seating Trump around, tumble round, tromble round, tumbleround, Trump, bump,
get it down, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Here we go with a Trump date on news radio
eleven ten kfav a tradition unlike any other. The President said,
stop me if you've heard this before. Oh yeah, Iran
wants to make a deal, and in fact, we've made one.
They does it sound like he's making this up off
the top of his head, mister president. And is there
close to a deal with Iran? Oh yeah, Iran. They
(28:03):
want to make a deal very badly when it comes
to no nukes. In fact, they just said that they're
not going to have any nukes. Yep, very forcefully, they said,
mister President. Sir, they said, sir, we don't want nukes.
We never did. We're so sorry. Please tell us exactly
what we need to do. Here, we want to get
a golf course, and so they agreed to it. No
(28:25):
one has heard any of that from the Iranians or
the Iranians. Neither of them have said anything about it.
So the president, look, I think he's making the right
moves because I don't want my family or your family
if this or even the Pope's family eviscerated by a
nuclear weapon that Iran was definitely trying to make. I
(28:48):
don't believe for one second, though, that whatever's left of
the Iranian regime, both in number and in number of
arms and legs, I don't think any of them have said.
You know what, we changed our mind. I know, for
fifty years we've been all about death to Israel, death
to America, Great Satan, you'll you al must die and fire.
But you know what, we've changed our mind here recently.
(29:10):
That blockade that was the one that got it. You know,
we dealt with all of the bombs, all of the
destruction of our leaders, all the killing of our ayatolas,
and we were fine with all that. But then you
had a blockade in the straight of horror moves, and
that's when we saw the error of our ways. Thank you,
mister President, we no longer want nuclear weapons. I know
three days ago we were all about it, but hey,
(29:34):
it's coming into the weekend. We got other stuff to do.
We don't want it. Sounds like the President is making
the stuff up, like on Saturday Night Live, the compulsive
liar played by John Lovetts. Mister President, is Iran done
making nukes? Yeah, they said that they don't want nukes ever. Again, Hey,
(29:56):
the deal's been signed. I thought you guys heard about it. Yeah,
I'm gonna go to Pakistan. We're gonna sign it runs
like Pakistan. So that's one, and then what else are
you upset with? Mister president? The President is probably it
sounds like more angry with a judge who just shot
down an arch. He wants to make a commemorative two
(30:18):
hundred and fifty foot arch in Washington picture Washington Square
in New York City, or I don't know, in Paris,
just a really big beautiful arch memorial circle near Arlington
National Cemetery. The President wanted a two hundred and fifty
foot arch to commemorate the two hundred fiftieth birthday for
(30:42):
our nation. But some people and some judge have said,
we don't think this is a good idea, and so
they've shot some of this down. The President's all mad
at the judge. He's lashed out on not just that,
but also the blocking of construction on his new ballroom
(31:04):
in the East Wing. And the President was supposed to
be talking about no tax on tips, and he starts
going out there like this is a mockery of our
court system. This highly political judge and his illegal overreach
is out of control, costing our nation greatly. Yes, our
nation has been upset greatly by the fact that the
(31:24):
president can't build a ballroom in the new East wing
of the White House Complex. He's not wrong that judicial
outreach is out of control, mostly because Congress won't do anything.
A lot of the stuff the president's looking to do
could be codified by Congress. They won't do anything. They'll
call out Eric Swollwell, but they won't do anything for
(31:47):
the benefit of the American people. Well, the President is
mad about all this.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
They think they think they're doing things for the good
of the American people. What they're doing is doing good
things for their political base. Nobody is making statesman like
decisions in Washington, d c. Except Donald Trump. Donald Trump
is doing the heavy lifting in Iran. Donald Trump is
trying to protect the American people by closing down the borders.
(32:13):
Donald Trump is trying to save taxpayer dollars by attacking fraud, waste,
and abuse. We never heard the word doge before Donald
Trump became president. Department of Government expenditures. It's not what
it stands for, but the essence of it is, if
we ever had somebody says to say no, but the well,
the judges have. The judges said, you can't fire these people,
(32:35):
you can't take this money away from this program. But
the president and talking about the ballroom at the East Wing,
he says, quote, the ballroom is deeply important to our
national security because of what's under the ballroom. What's under
the ballroom is probably enhanced situation room. The ballroom is
being paid for by private donations. Okay, he went to
(32:57):
his Wall Street friends and said, I want one hundred
thousand out of you, I want half a million out
of you. I want five million out of you. But
that's just for what's above ground. What's below ground is
out of the deed budget and the Homeland security budget.
It is probably the most sophisticated high tech security apparatus
this side of the Strategic Air Command.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
We got to have we gotta have.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
The capacity to look at every square inch of the
world to make sure that some bad guy out there
doesn't have a suitcase nuke.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
I still think the funniest thing the President did all
week was he had that lady from Door Dashbow delivering
McDonald's the West Wing and he's talking to her, going,
I heard you made a lot of money. Your government rebate.
This is really great. No tax on tips, no taxing overtime. Hey,
by the way, what do you think about men playing
to women's sports. She's like, I don't know, I don't President.
(33:49):
My personal favorite was when she shows up and it's
a phutto op. She shows up right in the West
Wing of the White House, one of the most recognizable
buildings in Washington, d C. And in all of government,
and there's a sign on the door that says the
Oval Office. Yep, and that is our Trump date. We
(34:13):
got script the Oval Office, traffic, weather news, we've got
the sports brief, We've got the gromhamedet all coming up
right here on eleven kfab Iran sounds like perhaps they're
finally backing down. Might get deal to get some tankers
going through the strait of horror moves? Does that mean
that our gas prices come down? For more on that,
(34:35):
we welcome back to the program Fox News Radios. Jeff
MANASO is here. Jeff, what are we thinking here on
gas prices?
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Well, look, I mean I think we're all hoping that
gas prices come down, and maybe we'll watch in real time.
We'll watch the stock market, We'll watch gas prices today
on President Trump's announcement just moments ago, as you alluded
to on truth, So will stand the straight up. Our
moves is completely open and ready for business. An announcement
(35:05):
from Iran announced in the full passage, but also saying
that the naval the US naval blockade will remain in
full force in effect as it pertains to Iran only
until such time as our transaction with Iran is one
hundred percent complete. This process should go very quickly, that
most of the points are already negotiated. Thank you for
(35:27):
your attention to this matter. This after we heard from
Treasury Secretary Scott percent yesterday saying that he believed that
we could get to three bucks per gallon this summer.
It's about the president's low is it pertained to gas
prices in his second term. Right now, gas prices, however,
in about four dollars per gallon nationally. But Scott percent
(35:51):
even said it's really all depends on how negotiations with
Iran go. That said, the President yesterday said that gas
prices he didn't really feel that they were very high.
That essentially that they expected a lot of higher gas
prices from the war, which he said was aimed at
denying around the ability to produce nuclear weapons. So I
(36:12):
guess we'll all see, Well, we'll find out gas prices
becoming a major talking point for Democrats blaming them on
what they call the President's war of choice, Republican blasting
back the Senator Bernie Moreno. One of them sat Democrats
being suddenly in favor of low gas prices as a
joke when they reached over five dollars on average in
(36:34):
twenty twenty two under President Biden. So yeah, four bucks
a gallon on average today, we'll see how that goes.
Is thirty percent increase over the president's low of his
second term. The good news today, I guess that we
can hold on to guys is we're not filling up
in Monterey, California or Big Sir California places where they
(36:57):
we're seeing ten dollars per gallon.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Well, that's that's great now. But oil is down right
now eleven and a half percent for a barrel of crude.
And of course if it were up eleven and a
half percent, we'd immediately see our gas prices go up today.
But they never go down when you have this kind
of thing going on where oil goes down here And
are you able to explain, Jeff, why that is, because
(37:22):
I can't without using phrases like liars and thieves and criminals.
Are you able to take a shot at there?
Speaker 2 (37:28):
It's really weird, my friend, because I was going to
use the same language I did. Go ahead, Yeah, yeah,
the Treasury Sector Secretary even brought that up. When when
gas prices are coming down, they're gonna be watching gas
stations closely to see if they're playing by the rules,
and so hopefully they'll do that. But yeah, when gas
(37:49):
prices come down, they're not as quick. But but you know,
on the I'm a sheer, you know, a wind of
a possible change in in gas prices, you see, you know,
the gas station owners out there changing and putting the
you know, the higher numbers out there almost instantly. But yeah,
I mean, we'll see. I think this is welcome news
(38:11):
for most people. Obviously, an end to a war is
you know, part of it. But you know, lower gas prices.
I was at a gas station just a couple of
days ago, and I was watching this guy in front
of me gas up and you could tell he was
watching the pump and he was you know, his eyes
were glazed over and he was just like you could
(38:32):
tell he was thinking, please stop, please, please stop as
the counter was going up. And I know that because
I drive the same vehicle.
Speaker 9 (38:41):
I know.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
My son turned sixteen this past fall, so here, over
the last several weeks, this is the first time he's
been filling up his tank with gas prices this high.
He's like, why does it cost so much suddenly to
fill up my car? Well, sit down, Sun, There's a
lot to explain here, but yeah, a lot of America
in the real world. Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly right. Well, Jeff,
(39:02):
thank you very much for jumping on here responding to
this breaking news with us here this morning. Have a
great weekend from Fox News Radio. That is Jeff Monasso
right here on Nebraska's morning news. Greg Wagner's here with
the country from Nebraska Game in Parks. It is our
(39:23):
favorite country boy. It is Greg Wagner, and good morning Greg. Yeeha,
good morning. Yeah, we've got it seems like for several
months now. Start off with kind of a weather report
and how that dictates what might be best to do
with especially fishing here uh this weekend, But before that,
I was out yesterday, Yes, looking at a bunch of turkeys.
(39:47):
They they are big, they are ready to go. This
is the time for turkey hunting season.
Speaker 9 (39:57):
Yes, spring shotgun wild turkey opener state wide tomorrow, obviously
not in town.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
But this is popular.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
We have.
Speaker 9 (40:06):
We had a quote of ten thousand spring turkey permits.
We sold them in about forty five minutes back in January.
That's how popular spring turkey hunting is. Thousands of folks
will be out. Our turkey numbers they're bumped up, they're
slightly improved similar to the five year average.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Here.
Speaker 9 (40:22):
The big thing we just wanted to get across is jeez, safety,
oh man, be doubly sure of your target, what's behind it,
what's around it. That's the thing with spring wild turkey hunting.
Now we're using calls and decoys and everything else.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
I spend most of my time in town, I guess,
and that's where I see these turkeys. When I'm outside
of town, I don't generally see them as much.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
No, are you allowed? I mean, obviously you can't shoot
them in town. Can't shoot them in town? Can you
pick them up under your arm and carry them to
outside city limits? Only decoy?
Speaker 9 (40:57):
And you transfer only your lifelike ken decoy to try
to attract that gobbler?
Speaker 1 (41:01):
All right, what a big bird? Because there are we
called roses laughing. Yeah, we we talk about turkeys being stupid,
but they all know like they if I hang out
here in Dundee, I'm fine. I don't have to worry about.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
Greg Younger up from Kill Creek on Happy Hollow.
Speaker 9 (41:18):
You a long a lot of turkey, that's right? What
about what about fishing this weekend? Greg, Sunday go Sunday warmer.
Tomorrow is probably gonna be a bust. But we have
crappies that are pre spawned, that are moving in the
shallow water areas. They're getting ready for their spawn. Very catchable.
So uh, you know the northern side of your favorite lakes,
(41:40):
jigs minnows where you can use them and you know
they're being caught. They were this weekend two to three
feet of water, so they're really moving in shallow near
shallow water structure like flooded trees and such. It was hot,
I know, summer light. Mushrooms popping up. Yes, yes, we
need rain now, believe it or not. As dry getting
(42:02):
drier on the woods. Well you need some rain, but no,
we have morale mushrooms out river bottoms, dead and decaying
cottonwood trees are going to be the ticket. As we've
mentioned here on KFAB for the past couple of weeks,
get permission from the landowner. You just can't hop fences
and go. And our landowners don't mind morellas as long
(42:22):
as you ask.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
Yeah, what's going on at our state parks this weekend?
Speaker 9 (42:26):
A lot of people asking do you have your water
turned on yet? Well, look at the weekend nighttime lows.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
Not quite yet.
Speaker 9 (42:33):
But call your favorite park superintendent and ask them when
they anticipate turning turning water on. But trails and playgrounds
and everything's they're open.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Toute your own water and on the outdoor bulletin board, Greg,
we have the sort.
Speaker 9 (42:46):
Of refuge now open for outdoor recreation, Spring Vision and
the Big Mac Lake Walleye, excuse me, Lake McConaughey.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Walley Spawn is on beautiful in Nebraska.
Speaker 9 (42:58):
Thank you A.
