Speaker 1 (00:00):
Could be a healthy debate his weather. Yesterday was the
most beautiful day of all time, just strictly speaking about
the weather, it was absolutely perfect yesterday. I hope you
had a chance to go out and enjoy it. I
almost squandered that opportunity. I'm Scott Vorhees sitting here with
(00:21):
Lucy Chapman staring at me, Jim Rose, Craig Evans here
as well. I was sitting here at the office about
one point thirty and I thought, I'm gonna I gotta
get this done and do that, and I'm going to
be out for a couple of days next week. Got
Gary Sadelmeyer will be hosting the show a week from tomorrow.
Emery song Gir will be hosting the morning show a
week from Friday. And I just got a lot to do.
(00:42):
And then I looked outside and said, you know what,
I'll do that tomorrow or maybe on Thursday when it's raining,
I'm gonna go out and play. And I ran outside
like a kindergartener running home or out to play with
his friends after the last day of school, just peeling
off my jacket and running around. I tell you what,
my workers had a field day with that one.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
It was perfect days a vision.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I am no, thank you all, that's a visual. I
am a vision. That's what I heard. And then I
posted a picture on our social media channels of me
with Miss Nebraska USA and Miss Teen USA of Nebraska,
and my friend Stacey posted on there and said, I'm
sure they had a great time hanging out with Grandpa
Scott like that is so.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Whatever, whatever bolsters your ego every day feel free? Oh
I have you need that to make yourself, make feel
good about yourself.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
No, I have no ego left here because because I
have an inbox, I don't have any. So Nebraska decided
yesterday that we should not provide in state tuition and
financial assistance for undocumented immigrants aka illegal immigrants and their
(01:54):
children who are also in the country and in the
state illegally. The US Department of Justice has filed a
complaint against Nebraska and said we need to prohibit Nebraska
from enforcing laws that require colleges and universities to provide
in state tuition rates to all immigrants who maintain Nebraska residency,
(02:18):
regardless of whether they're lawfully present in the US. Wait.
Nebraska gives in state tuition and financial aid to illegal immigrants,
and we're still doing this and the Department of Justice
is now fighting Nebraska. I had no idea, no idea.
I mean, if you go across the border into Kansas,
(02:42):
your kid can't get in state tuition. You know why,
because you don't live in Kansas. But if you come
into Nebraska and your kid comes here from Missouri, you
can't get in state tuition. But your kid comes here
from Mexico, you are entitled to in state tuition, and hey,
how much fun. Of course they're going to give you
financial assistance. That's a whole different argument. But in state
(03:05):
lower tuition rates for kids from Guatemala, then kids from Iowa.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Well, now, maybe, as you know, because you did a
little college tour last year, if you have a certain
academic standard, Kansas will give Nebraska kids in state touris there.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Are opportunities there, But this is no questions asked this one.
Do you have any paperwork to show me?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
This is at least we should charge them out of
state tuition. You know, when the Chinese kids were rolling
in here about ten years ago, they were paying full
boat and paying up front.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Taking all those pictures of Offen on their way over
to UNL it's a parking lot. Go easy on the pictures. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Now, this is a bone of real contention, and you
may recall it actually bubbled up during the two thousand
and six gubernatorial race between Dave Heineman and Tom Osborn
because Tom Primary Tom advocated providing in state tuition for
illegal immigrants at Heimada.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
I don't think so that's a bad idea.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
That's kind of things going to give me a win
on election night, and it did. Yeah. There, I mean,
they've made the argument that, well, if you're going to
be here in this country, we might as well educate you,
and of course you need health care, and you got
to have a driver's license, be driving anyway, you might
as well get in state tuition and all the rest
of this stuff. And meanwhile, there are people who live
here saying, you know, I don't know when the last
time you tried to get your kids college paid for.
(04:30):
It's expensive, And now we got the handout here for
people who are in the country illegally. This is not
gonna set well with a lot of Nebraskans. The Department
of Justice is fighting Nebraska, and I don't know who
they're fighting. Governor Pillen and Attorney General Hilgers are on
board with this. So now the eleven to ten KFAB
(04:50):
Certified Transmission Sports Brief.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Jim Rows very good, Sky, Good morning everybody. Yesterday was
the last day you could enter the college basketball transfer
portal for this spring, and two Huskers did. But it
is confusing, so try to follow along. Earlier this month,
the NCAA proposed an age based eligibility standard for players.
It would allow five years of competition beginning from their
(05:13):
nineteenth birthday or after they leave high school graduation. However,
there are no guarantees that the proposal will pass or
when it will go into effect. As a result, a
lot of fourth year seniors are entering the NCAA transfer
portal to keep their options open to return for another year,
just in case. JaMarcus Lawrence was a.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Very, very big part of Nebraska basketball's success this last year.
He's among them both. He is a fourth year senior guard.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
He would have another season of eligibility remaining under this
proposed five for five rule. What I don't understand is this,
if you go into the portal, you're technically available for
other teams. Why can't Nebraska be that other team. Why
is he in the poor Why doesn't he just stay
on the roster. If the rule passes, then he gets
(06:04):
to play another year. If it doesn't, he doesn't, And
apparently that means he can't play for anybody else either.
Just stay where we are. Well, this much is much
more clear. The Husker baseball team gave up three home
runs and lost at Kansas last night nine to seven.
KU is good now with sixty eight home runs as
a team. They are gutting for a regional invitation back
(06:26):
to the easy games this weekend for Husker baseball at
average Illinois just twenty and eighteen and an RPI of
eighty three. Nebraska's RPI this morning is fourteen Big Leagues.
It may have taken a wild pitch, but the Royals
finally win one, six to five walk off victory over
the Orioles last night ends a losing streak at eight.
Second baseman Michael Masse, you.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Know, that's what we're used to. That's what the last
two years have been, and you know, a lot of
guys in here know how to win, have been a
winning teams and obviously was tough stretch, but I think
that's what we're used to as We're inky doing.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
At a home run.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Last night on the scoreboard, American League Cleveland eight, Houston five,
the Yankees four, the Red Sox nothing, Toronto four, Los
Angeles two, the A's five, Seattle two, National League Giants three,
Dodgers one, Padres one, Rocky zip Cubs beat Philadelphia, Washington
over Atlanta, Salo's five, Miami three. Inter League play White
Sox eleven, Arizona five, Texas five, Pittsburgh one, Minnesota five,
(07:24):
the Mets three, Milwaukee twelve, Detroit four, Cincinnati twelve, Tampa
Bay six, Omaha Stormchasers ten, Toledo Mud Hens five. Playoff Scoreboard,
NBA Game two Philly one eleven in Boston ninety seven,
Portland one oh six, San Antonio one oh three, the
Lakers over Houston one oh one to ninety four. The
(07:46):
Lakers lead that series two games to none. NHL Playoffs
Tampa Bay over Montreal in Game two, three to two.
That series is tied up at one one on one.
The series with Boston and Buffalo tied now is the
Bruins win Game two, four to two. Utah over Golden
State three to two. That series tied one to one
in Colorado, be the Kings two to one in overtime,
(08:06):
and the Avalanche lead that best of series seventh series
two victories to none. Matt Rule resumed his whining about
NHL yesterday. If you recall last summer, he said, we're fine.
We have enough to buy players. As of yesterday. Rule
says we're not fine. Says it is not college football anymore,
it's pro football. That's a revelation. And he says, how
(08:28):
come we can't be first in output? That is a
question Husker fans are wondering, why can't we be first
in output?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
We'll have more on this throughout the morning. I am
Scott Vorhees, and I get a chance to hang out
here on Nebraska's morning news from six to ten with
my best friends. All Right, no one's gonna fight me
on that one. That's right. Okay, there we go. Did
you see Gen's picture on the front page of the
paper today. I did. That's Jim Rose, that's Lucy Chapman,
(08:57):
Craig Evans here as well, aka my best friends. Yeah,
I did. We've got the picture of our ten AM
host one hour a day, Jeene Stout. There's only been
on this radio station now for about five weeks or so,
that's it. She yeah, she's much longer than that. It
does you know. That was after the first show, but
(09:18):
she already has our first winner in the nationwide cash
contest that happened yesterday day two, early day two. In
the cash contest, I believe it was Tammy what's her
name in Beautiful Colon, Nebraska, listening there in Nebraska's Colon
and she was listening to the KFAB comment line. Put
the keyword on the website, got a call back, answered
(09:39):
the call. iHeartRadio said would you like a thousand dollars?
She said, yeah, I'm not busy, and so she got
something out of listening to this radio station. It's about time.
So yeah, Gene one Hour a Day has a cash
contest winner and is on the front page of the newspaper.
The issue, as we have discussed a few times here
(10:03):
after I believe the timeline is that Gene Stothard asked
a member of the Ewing administration to join her on
the radio show to talk about a variety of things,
and the Ewing administration said, we're not going to have
our department head go on Jean Stothard show and put
them in an awkward position with their former boss to
(10:24):
then have to explain what's going on under a new boss,
a new administration here with John Ewing as mayor. Now,
the way that Ewing phrased it in that release on
Facebook was aggravating. You know, I don't want my department
heads having to go out there and answer for my
administration like whoa, whoa, whoa. That's exactly what you do
(10:46):
to be accountable to the public. But I'll give Mayor
Ewing the grace that he didn't exactly mean it like that.
It specifically has to do with the former mayor hosting
a radio show wanting to talk to people in the
current mayor's administration, and he says, yeah, we're not gonna
We're not gonna do that. It was a contentious campaign,
it was only about a year ago, and we need
(11:08):
a little more time to pass here. Yeah, well, all
of that is nonsense.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
What're you're implying when you say those kinds of things
is that your department heads don't have the capacity mentally
or otherwise to handle a question without throwing politically the
mayor under the bus.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Right, What I'm saying is I don't think he meant
it that way. But the content, yeah, the content of
what he said certainly leads to that kind of path.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
The pathway to heaven is lined with good intentions. You
have to allow your people the freedom to do their
jobs and explain things to the public. This radio station
reaches a very, very significantly large part of the community,
people who pay taxes, people who vote in elections, and
this is a petty political spat between the current mayor
(11:55):
and the former one.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yep. Now, Gene is a Gene is as we know.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
She was elected to office numerous times, not just a mayor,
but to the city council, in the school board. So
people know this woman, they know how she functions. And
if she wants to visit with the street guy or
the public works guy or the parks and rec guy, which,
by the way, that job is open right now, or
the city forester or vile hatcher or anybody else, they
(12:23):
have the obligation to explain how their job is being
done in the best interests of the taxpayers and stay
away from political fights, stay away from well, when I
was doing it, And then they need to say, well, Gene,
you're not doing it anymore.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Here's how we're doing it. Now.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
So what Mayor Ewing is suggesting and his staff, his
executive staff, is we need to keep them away from
her with the threat of anything negative said about our
operation getting out on the radio. And that's unfortunate, that's
not being accountable to the public. Frankly, John should want
(12:58):
to come on the show because he's bull of handling
himself in a conversation with Jean Stothard, and I believe
the thousand watts that will happen at the point, not
today and maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the
rest of your life.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Makes him look bad.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
It makes him look petty, It makes him look it
makes him look very, very insecure, which I don't believe
he is. I don't believe he is. I believe he
has some capable people around him. I believe these people
may be influencing him in a way that may not
be necessary to be healthy for the rest of the
community in the foreseeable future. But he's a capable guy,
(13:32):
and he's he's he's not easily intimidated by anybody.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
No, he and he won. So this definitely comes down to, well,
I heard from some people in the city that you
want to come on my show. And then Ewing says,
I talk to some of these people and they don't
want to talk on her show. The answer is always
somewhere in the middle. But I have talked with the
Ewing administration and said, no, wait, is this a blanket
ban on anyone? And we have issue use a triumphant
(14:01):
tragedy in Omaha. It's kfab off limits to you and
your administration. And yes, and I have been told unequivocally, no,
good kfab is not off limits. We look forward to
many conversations on several different fronts, but right now, not
on her show. So yeah, So there's also so the
Omaha World Herald did a little profile on that. There's
(14:22):
a great picture of her in the studio, and that's
that's out there for your reading enjoyment. I'm sure she'll
have a few things to say about it after ten
o'clock this morning, right here on news radio eleven to
ten KFA, Chris Emails says, come on, guys, this is
what democrats do best. Mayor Ewing not allowing staff to
be on Jean Stothard show is nothing but pure arrogance.
(14:46):
They never want to answer or be held accountable for
their actions because they think that they're above that. My
question is, when the next big storm runs right through Omaha,
is he going to ban staff from getting out pertinent
information on her show? Then he won the election for
Pete's sakes, stand up and be a man and act
like it. That's from Chris sent to Scott at kfab
(15:07):
dot com. Well to answer your question there, Chris, is
he going to ban staff from being on her show
to talk about it? My understanding is that is not
going to be the case that if we have an
absolute emergency need that happens to fall during Jeene Stodthirt show,
that yes, the mayor's office and staff will be available
(15:30):
to us about that and other issues on this radio station,
just you know, a little chit chat with people that
she hired who now work for a different pause right now,
he says they don't want to be on her show.
It's too awkward for him. We're not going to do it.
So that's we're talking about this because it's in the
newspaper to day.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Well, it's too bad because they are capable of answering
Gene questions or how about this? Before the interview, they
say to Gene, look, stay away from politics. If you
want to ask me about filling potholes, or how we're
doing with the two hundred million dollars that we extracted
out of the taxpayers on that bondasheet to fixed streets,
or mowing the grass at the Memorial Park, or any
(16:08):
of the other things that have to do directly with
my executing of the job. Good, but stay away from
John Ewing stuff. Stay away from political stuff. Stay away
from Okay, when we did it it went like this.
Now you're doing it, it's going like that. There is
no confidence in the mayor's staff from him to them
that they could handle it, and that's disappointing.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
And a guy steal a pickup truck a few days ago.
They found it. It was crashed into a house early
this morning overnight near seventy fifth and Parker Streets. That's
blocks south of seventy fifth in Blondo And they have
the truck. It's buried in the house. They don't have
the driver. They're still looking for the driver. But this
(16:52):
was a stolen truck. So I imagine they called the
guy like, oh good, you found my truck. Yeah, it's
in a house near seventy fifth and BLONDEO. You mean
at a house. No, it's in the house. That's a
good way to wake up. That was about one thirty
this morning. Well, how would that go over in your house?
Someone slams into your house, You feel the explosion, you
(17:17):
hear the crash, you spring to life, you jump out
of bed, and you've got to spend a few seconds wondering, well,
did I dream that? Or did my house just blow up?
I'd probably wake up. My wife is like, hey, what
was that? Go check? Like, I think that was our imagination.
I'm going back to bed. Do you ever have to
(17:39):
jump up in the middle of the night because your
wife wakes you up and says I heard something, Go
check and see what it was? Very infuriating. Well, I'm
I've done a nuts. I've done it. I'm up in
my boxer shorts and walking around going if there is
something dangerous in this house, exactly what am I supposed
to do about it? I've got nothing right now except
(18:01):
you know Jack Johnson and Tommy O'Leary. Yeah, you know,
ready to ready to go give him the gun show. Yeah,
but speaking on behalf of your neighbors, and they have
complained to me all they have Please keep the bathrobe
closed when you go outside to check it out. I'll
take that under advisement. Things I don't go outside. Maybe
(18:23):
you don't if it's not inside the house. It is
very disconcerting though, when you hear a crash, you know,
some sort of loud bang that wakes you up, like, obviously,
I gotta go check and see what the heck that was.
You're thinking the worst. You're like, well, I something just
fell over. And then you look around the house. Nothing
(18:44):
is out of place. You're like, well, did something just
fall in the gruage? So now you're out in the
garage looking around at all the stuff in the walls.
The shovels are where they go here, everything's fine. This
explains why you look like you never get any sleep. Well,
it hasn't that ever happen to you?
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Well, the first year we lived in our new house,
the seaside villa that we have, h Yeah, the house settle.
What's see is that this strait of horror moos, Yes,
the straits of horror moos.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
We you know, the house settles, and anybody who's lived
in a new house knows this. And when the house settles,
you hear things like you know, a little pop there
and thinking, oh my gosh, there's the roof falling in,
and my wife would give me the every time, and
I go, the house is settling. Don't worry. No one
is breaking in in the first place. There's nobody else
(19:33):
out here because we were one of the first houses
on the street. So I go, it's the house is settling.
It's okay. Well now it doesn't do it anymore.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
The only sound you hear at your house is the
sound of your wife settling. Yeah, well she did that
a long time ago. That sounds like this.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Many of her friends have said, Yeah, that's why. Man,
you really you You ran that white flag up way
too soon.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
The sound of your wife's settling sounds like this. Yeah. Yeah,
well it's a good operation. Thank you, Thank you, Lucy. Hey,
you keep quiet over that. I don't want to hear
anything out of you. Well we got Lucy with traffic
in a moment.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I just do not understand how you can be upset
about somebody telling you that they're hearing a noise and
what if somebody is breaking into your ass? How does
that upset you?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Because she knows that if someone.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
She knows she here's a noise. If she doesn't know
anything beyond that.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
If if the if the hooth is broken into my
house and she sends me out there to deal with
it with no weapons, strength or any kind of uh,
you know, set of special set of skills. She knows
I'm just gonna get killed. And I think maybe that's
why she's sending me.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
That's why you should be get you should be polishing
up your numbchuck skills.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I said, honey, that was just a cat. She's like,
we don't have a cat anymore. Like, all right, I'll
go check. You'll be happy to know that. Independent US
Senate candidate Dan Osborn of Nebraska as released his multiple
point plan to as he says here in this press release,
protect your paycheck, social Security, and healthcare. And here's how
(21:10):
he's going to do it. Jim, I'll let you be
the one to say how after each of these points,
and this is all it is. It's just points. See,
we're going to have a middle class tax cut. We
got one last year. Yeah, I think that's that's great.
What is his parameter though, of the middle class, Because
anyone who makes more than about seventy thousand dollars is
(21:33):
considered rich beyond their wildest dreams and not subject to
a tax cut according to some who want to have
the poverty line at one hundred and eighty five percent
of where the poverty line is, and so therefore the
middle class is like a guy named Rick who makes
approximately fifty seven five hundred dollars a year, and if
(21:54):
he makes a penny more, well than he's wealthy. If
he gets married, he's wealthy. So what is the middle
class and how we going to give him a tax cut?
And then he says, implement this is the dan Osborne strategy.
Implement real no tax on tips or overtime. Well wait,
right now, we don't.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Well, I think he might be broadening the scope because
right now not everybody who gets a tip gets the cut,
but mostly the restaurant workers, uber drivers, taxicab drivers, rickshaw pullers,
they get the break on tips.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Who doesn't get the break on tips and overtime? No
tax on tips and overtime and by the way, maybe overtime.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
But the Social Security thing, that's the president has misrepresented
that you only get no tax on the first six
thousand dollars of benefits. You don't get them on you
don't get it on all of your social security.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Now.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I believe in Nebraska we're not taxing social security at
the state level anymore.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Okay, if fed still are. There's a lot in there.
There's twenty one points. I'm not going to cover all
of them. One of the there's point number six, stop shrinkflation.
What is that The government is then telling businesses you
can't adjust the amount of content in your packaging, how
many chips are in a package or whatever, in chargees
the same amount. That's something the government would do under
(23:16):
a Senate dan Osborne administration. Let's see here, targeted tariff policy.
Isn't that what the president's doing? So I thought tariffs
were a band thing. He also wants to legalize medical
marijuana and allow medicaid to negotiate lower prices with drug companies.
(23:40):
A lot of these sounds like things that the president's
already doing. No tax on tips, middle class tax cut,
not the legalization medical marijuana. But you can read more
at Osborne for Senate dot com. That's your independent Senate
candidate Dan Osborne, who ran Kellogg's and all those jobs
out of Omaha. Jim, I have a question for you.
(24:01):
Of course you do. What is a Christian nationalist. Well,
I think they're two different things. This is one phrase applied,
and we're hearing a lot in the wake of what
the President did in the Oval Office yesterday. So I'll
set this up. It's the Bible reading version of hands
(24:25):
across America that they're doing right now. They're doing a
full reading of the Bible. Different people in different ways
are reading the Bible. The President read a verse that
was recorded in the Oval Office, and here's the passage.
It comes from the fourteenth verse of the seventh chapter
of two Chronicles. And here's the President of the United States.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
If my people, which are called by my name, shall
humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn
from their wicked ways, then will I here from Heaven
and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
That's a portion of what the President read yesterday, only
about a manator. So he was wearing a blue suit
with kind of a red tie, not the white, and
wearing investments robes, investments that look like popular pictures of
Jesus Christ. Well, the literal. But people say, oh, this
is a popular verse among Christian nationalists who think this
(25:28):
is about America. This isn't about the United States, right, Really,
that Bible verse from the Old Testament's not about the
United States of America.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Sure well, the Christian I mean, first of all, the
nation was founded one nation under God, and God was
actually the guiding principle for the founding fathers. But I
know that's inconvenient and very past. Christian nationalism essentially a
political ideology that says we got to take biblical verses
and biblical concepts and applied them to government actions. And
(25:57):
then then the left will become extremely chaotic when they say,
well that what about separation church and state, which is
one of the most misunderstood concepts of our constitution. Amen,
all that's very very good, thank you. All that says
is that the church will know that the government will
not establish a religion for the country. There is no
other stipulation in there that says God can't be in
(26:18):
the halls of Congress, or God can't be in the
White House, or God can't be in the Supreme Court chambers.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
What about the Ten Commandments displayed in public school classrooms,
which was mandated by Texas been tied up in the courts.
An appeals court yesterday gave Texas a ruling said, yeah,
you can post the Ten Commandments in school. What you
can't do is you tell all your students say, look,
we're going to have a test today, but not for
the Christian kids. If you've accepted the Lord and Savior
(26:45):
Jesus Christ into your life, then you already get an
a plus. Now the rest of you heathens, you got
to do a test so that they can't do that,
And nor do they nor do that. Very few people
do that. Now.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
There is a lot of indoctrination in schools, but it's
not about out the New and Old Testament.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
It goes all over the place. And once you get
all the indoctrination out of your public schools, then let
me know and we'll see what other problems we can solve.
But people heard that that verse and they're like, oh no,
this is Christian nationalism. This is dog whistle for what
to turn away from their wicked ways. And people are
like you first, mister president, Yeah, every president should feel like, okay,
(27:24):
me first, let me look in the mirror and see
what I can do to be a better person and
a better president. I don't know that this president does that.
A lot. Probably more than you think though, So we'll
we'll move on to a few other things here. We'll
let Rosie critique the president. Still getting a lot of
angry emails now yesterday, that's on the Jim Rose podcast length.
(27:46):
We'll see what he's got in store for us here
in about an hour and five minutes. Scott at kfab
dot com and the Zonker's custom was inbox. Thank you
for the reminder. Here Mark Mark emails and tells each
of us a happy Earth Day. Lucy, what are you
doing to celebrate Earth Day?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Eating earth?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
You're gonna be eating earth? Well, tomatoes I suppose come
from the earth.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Well, now, how did you land on tomatoes?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Figure?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
But there is about a kajillion things that come from
the earth.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Well yeah, but you you didn't say I'm gonna be
eating things that come from the earth. I'm trying to
make you not sound like a looney person. I mean,
it can be eating dirt all day.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Well that's what I usually do.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
So what are you gonna be eating? Crust? Oh? Like
bread crust? No, the crust of the earth.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Now I'm gonna dig down to the iron ore Ooh.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
You would too. Lucy was in here painting the studio yesterday.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
True story, wasn't painting the studios because.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
He came in with paint. We always joked that Lucy
like spends every weekend painting the bathroom or painting the house,
or I was painting the underside of the gutters just because,
and then she came in here. She was painting them
around the window of our studio.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I finally figure figured out what that is about? What
is about that I like to paint that it's because
nobody liked the paintings that I painted.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Oh, you had wonderful paintings. One of them it them.
Once upon a time I saw Lucy with the blackout
paint and I thought, she's just gonna paint over the
window so she can't see us in here anymore. And
by the way, if you thought, did a person really
email and just wish you guys a happy Earth Day?
That seems a little off brand for evil conservative talk radio.
(29:36):
All right, I'll read the rest of the message. Mark
emails and says happy Earth Day. When will we have
a day to celebrate uranus? I'm Scott Borhes, welcoming back
to the program. Eleven to ten kfab White House correspondent
John Decker, who can see Virginia from the White House,
and yesterday's vote on readdistricting not just to vote, but
(29:57):
a court battle looming here. John, What did Virginia do yesterday?
Speaker 7 (30:00):
Well, what they did was they voted on a redistricting
plan that would change the makeup of the congressional delegation
for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Right now, there are eleven
seats that Virginia has in the US House of Representatives.
Fixed are held by Democrats, five are held by Republicans.
Under this new plan, ken would be held by Democrats,
(30:23):
one would be held by Republicans. And so this is
in response to what happened last year in the state
of Texas with their redistricting plan that was followed by
California and Virginia soon followed suit. This plan will be
challenged in the courts, and this plan will ultimately be
decided in terms of whether or not it's legal by
(30:46):
the Virginia Supreme Court.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, every few years or so, it seems like whatever
ruling political party of the state decides to do a
little bit of redistricting usually not met with all the
outcry we've seen this year, whether it's Texas, California, but
Virginia going from a six' Five democrat Over republican majority
in terms of their congressional seats to what would stand
(31:10):
all things being, equal ten to, one that seems like
a lot of people are being truly disenfranchised In. Virginia,
well that will be up.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
To the courts to. Decide you, know what typically happens
is there is. Redistricting it, happens but it happens every
ten years after the. Census it doesn't happen mid decade
like we're seeing happen right. Now that's what makes it so.
Unusual and one of the reasons why it's happening is
because of the very narrow majority That republicans have in
The house Of representatives and the headwinds That republicans will
(31:43):
face In. November headwinds because, historically the party in power
loses seats at the, midterms and that's What republicans are concerned,
about is losing control of both The house and The.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Senate, yeah but if they're already The democrats thought is
we're already going to pick Up house seats in a
mid term year, anyway then it seems like it's it's
a little unnecessary to spike the.
Speaker 7 (32:05):
Football we do some of the response to What republicans.
Did remember it started In. Texas, yeah other red states
did this as, well so it's tit for Tat republicans did.
It Now democrats are doing it as, well.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Which Means republicans In florida And missouri are probably going
to do it.
Speaker 7 (32:20):
Next, Right, well you're right about. That, yeah it's not over,
yet so we'll see what happens as we proceed in
the months ahead leading up to The november.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Midterms all, Right, john thank you very much with the fine.

You Bruce, Crawford Thanks, scott appreciated love having you hang
out with us on news radio eleven ten. KFAB i
don't know what it says about, me but WHEN i
hear a story that, says here's a guy that threw
away his career and marriage for this. WOMAN i immediately
(37:52):
take a look online to see what this woman looks,
like to see IF i, mean there's there's nothing there
that would, say, like, well that explains. It it doesn't explain.
It it might make it easier to understand on some,
level BUT i can't help it WHEN i see that
former and you, president then Former ohio State President Ted
(38:16):
carter has now thrown away his career and marriage for
this woman that by all, accounts there was an inappropriate
relationship and and a lot of trips taken and directives
made for people in his office to make sure she
has whatever she wants and. Needs and then finally he
(38:37):
got dismissed out, there And i'm, like all, right so
what's this woman's. NAME i take a look at her and, go.
Huh you, know.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
SO i if You're Elliott spitzer and you're gonna do
it you, did do you do it with a? Ten,
okay if you're gonna do, it do it with a.
Ten it's like scheduling A division two team on your football.
Schedule you don't want to play a really Good division two.
Team you want to a bad one because if you
lose to, him it doesn't matter whether they're really good
(39:04):
or really.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Bad, WELL i think what we should say is don't
do any of. This well there's, that but if a guy,
DOES i can't help but check and, see if you know,
why what was so alluring about? This so that's that's
what's accused. Here the former president Of Ohio state and before, That,
Nebraska Ted, carter according to the university report released, yesterday
(39:25):
didn't just cross the. Line he repeatedly bent his office
around this one, woman Who The New York post describes
as a failing. Podcaster, well and why do we care
about it? Now because it was happening, here and it
was happening in his, office and it was happening apparently
(39:45):
with the cooperation of other high Ranking university Of nebraska,
officials and in particular the guy who later became interim,
president who hired the athletics, Director Chris, kubarik who was
opera in conjunction With Ted carter's according to the, report
With Ted carter's. Behavior in, fact he was facilitating much
(40:08):
of this, behavior not only there but. Here and if you,
recall he was fired from here and he was immediately
hired By Ted carter for a very senior position At Ohio.
State he has since left that position under diress and
was hired By West. Virginia this was a guy that
he was accused of doing.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Well it had to do with facilitating meetings and behavior
and activities Between ted and this.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
Lady. Activities this is according to the report. Here the
married for forty five years Ex Navy Admiral Vett Ted
carter met this woman in twenty twenty three while leading
The university Of nebraska, system and then allegedly arranged access
to His Ohio state. Office apparently there was like some
(40:58):
sort of back or access as she could come and
go as she, pleased and so, forth fabricated a business
purpose for at least one shared, trip traveled with her
to various cities Including Las vegas And. Orlando Pushed Ohio
state staff and partners to assist this woman with her.
Podcast what's the name of her? Podcast what's this woman's?
(41:22):
Name Chris? Santh she's half of a Flower Chris santh
vlachos podcaster with whom he has acknowledged an inappropriate. Relationship
So i'm just you, know people make bad decisions all the,
(41:42):
time whether you're the coach of The New England patriots
or former head of The university Of nebraska In Ohio.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
State, well the issue, is you, know the vetting of these.
People and what was so disappointing to me on many
levels when this whole thing With Ted carter came, down
was how insincere and misleading he was To nebraskan's and
to The governor Of nebraska and to. Others AND i
hope it serves as a little bit of a a
(42:12):
clarion call that we have to reevaluate constantly the paradigm
for hiring important, people and this notion that we have
to have somebody because they look good on, paper or
this notion that we must retain somebody for fear that
if we, don't it'll somehow cast us a spell over our,
(42:33):
program or some meleeis or a stain on the prom,
dress whatever the case may. Be we have to stop doing.
That and part of it is we have collective committees
that hire these, people which in my, opinion is a.
Mistake you hire somebody to hire. Somebody in the case
of The board Of, regents they hire the presidents it's
essentially their only big.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Job they approve budgets.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
And they hire, presidents but you get too many of
them on a, committee and the least objectionable person gets the,
job not the best, one but often the least objectionable,
one and it cuts down on the field of. Eligibles
but then when they come along and, say, Hey i'm
committed to this, place and if you just give me
(43:15):
a little bit more money and a little bit more golden,
Parachute i'll stop looking AND i won't pick up the
phone when somebody. Calls that is exactly What Ted carter
told the governor and some other important university, people supporters
and politicos before he took the job At Ohio state
And nebraskan's bristle at, this and we wonder about confidence
(43:37):
in the. Institution but it does it sound to me
and others like you're doing a little, bit maybe a
lot of twenty twenty hindsight in. This how are they
supposed to know That Ted carter was years after he
was hired by The university Of nebraska system delete. It
then go on to use a donation of one hundred
thousand dollars in unrestricted donations To Ohio state to start
(43:59):
trying to get three million dollars for a veterans app
that she was behind because he thinks she's.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Hot you, know we didn't know that at the. Time
what were you going to? Do ask? Him, Hey, ted you,
know how's the? Corral you ever gonna hop?
Speaker 3 (44:14):
It my understanding is is that there had been significant
speculation about some of this behavior By President carter And
Vice President kubarik long before it, happened but people were
afraid to bring it up confront people because these were
powerful individuals who'd had the confidence of the governor and
(44:37):
members of The board Of. Regions but the overarching theme to, Me,
scott is that these kinds of things erode public confidence
in the. University it is an extraordinarily important thing to our.
State it is a very expensive thing to our, state
and the Average nebraska family has lost confidence in higher
ed and part of it is stuff like. This you,
(45:00):
know who's minding the store and what are we? Doing
are these people good? People have they surrounded themselves with good?
People what kind of individuals are blocking and tackling for?
Them and when you see things like this, unfold you
go see every fear or every SUSPICION i had is coming,
true and it is particularly galling to the forty nine
(45:23):
members of The nebraska unicameral who get to approve their.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
Budget If i'm a parent of a kid at The
university Of, NEBRASKA i want to make sure my kid
is doing to their, expectations doing the best they, can,
overachieving AND i want The husker sports teams to do the.
Same as far as the private life of the, UNIVERSITY
i could give a rip other than talking about on the.
Radio but right Now i'm looking at The New York
post that has a picture Of Ted carter and his
(45:49):
wife and, children And i'm, thinking you, know there are
a lot of attractive women out. THERE i don't know
how many of them are so attractive that you would
have your family picture put on the national news as
an example of what you ruined by jumping into bed
with this chick over. Here speaking Of, Lincoln, nebraska A lincoln,
(46:09):
woman according To First alert Six, news has been. Arrested
there was a gender reveal party and the mother to
be got a pink handgun put in her. Face the
woman who pulled this pink and silver handgun from her
purse pointed it at the pregnant woman and yelled and
(46:30):
this is a quote from the, story Quote i'm finna
shoot you on my, block on my hood en. Quote
obviously it was a very old white woman who did.
This i'm finna shoot, You, finna, yeah finna. Exactly that's
a shorthand for fixing To, okay, Yeah i'm going To
(46:51):
i'm finna shoot. You and then she pointed the gun
at her own, uncle who was not. Pregnant and it was, Pink,
yes a pink. Gun don't know if that means that
it was a, girl it's she was HAVING i Don't
i'm read the whole. Story apparently there was a dispute about.
Something she pulls the pink, handgun points it at the
(47:13):
the mom who's having the gender reveal party because some
kid asked to use someone's camera and was told. No
and then this woman took, exception how dare you not
allow my kid to do? Whatever here she, wants pulled the,
gun points it at. Everyone, later the authorities call her and,
say you, know we found that you were pointing a
(47:34):
gun at a, party and she, goes, Yeah i'm just
letting stuff die. Down it's not a big, deal and
they're like, yeah but the witnesses were terrified about what,
happened and she, said quote, yeah, UNQUOTE i got a
fin of them, Too. Finna she's in court, Today but
we never found out what kind of baby that mom's gonna.
Have who may have had it at that moment that
(47:56):
the gun was pointed at. Her maybe the uncle did,
too
Could be a healthy debate his weather. Yesterday was the
most beautiful day of all time, just strictly speaking about
the weather, it was absolutely perfect yesterday. I hope you
had a chance to go out and enjoy it. I
almost squandered that opportunity. I'm Scott Vorhees sitting here with
(00:21):
Lucy Chapman staring at me, Jim Rose, Craig Evans here
as well. I was sitting here at the office about
one point thirty and I thought, I'm gonna I gotta
get this done and do that, and I'm going to
be out for a couple of days next week. Got
Gary Sadelmeyer will be hosting the show a week from tomorrow.
Emery song Gir will be hosting the morning show a
week from Friday. And I just got a lot to do.
(00:42):
And then I looked outside and said, you know what,
I'll do that tomorrow or maybe on Thursday when it's raining,
I'm gonna go out and play. And I ran outside
like a kindergartener running home or out to play with
his friends after the last day of school, just peeling
off my jacket and running around. I tell you what,
my workers had a field day with that one.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
It was perfect days a vision.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I am no, thank you all, that's a visual. I
am a vision. That's what I heard. And then I
posted a picture on our social media channels of me
with Miss Nebraska USA and Miss Teen USA of Nebraska,
and my friend Stacey posted on there and said, I'm
sure they had a great time hanging out with Grandpa
Scott like that is so.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Whatever, whatever bolsters your ego every day feel free? Oh
I have you need that to make yourself, make feel
good about yourself.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
No, I have no ego left here because because I
have an inbox, I don't have any. So Nebraska decided
yesterday that we should not provide in state tuition and
financial assistance for undocumented immigrants aka illegal immigrants and their
(01:54):
children who are also in the country and in the
state illegally. The US Department of Justice has filed a
complaint against Nebraska and said we need to prohibit Nebraska
from enforcing laws that require colleges and universities to provide
in state tuition rates to all immigrants who maintain Nebraska residency,
(02:18):
regardless of whether they're lawfully present in the US. Wait.
Nebraska gives in state tuition and financial aid to illegal immigrants,
and we're still doing this and the Department of Justice
is now fighting Nebraska. I had no idea, no idea.
I mean, if you go across the border into Kansas,
(02:42):
your kid can't get in state tuition. You know why,
because you don't live in Kansas. But if you come
into Nebraska and your kid comes here from Missouri, you
can't get in state tuition. But your kid comes here
from Mexico, you are entitled to in state tuition, and hey,
how much fun. Of course they're going to give you
financial assistance. That's a whole different argument. But in state
(03:05):
lower tuition rates for kids from Guatemala, then kids from Iowa.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Well, now, maybe, as you know, because you did a
little college tour last year, if you have a certain
academic standard, Kansas will give Nebraska kids in state touris there.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Are opportunities there, But this is no questions asked this one.
Do you have any paperwork to show me?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
This is at least we should charge them out of
state tuition. You know, when the Chinese kids were rolling
in here about ten years ago, they were paying full
boat and paying up front.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Taking all those pictures of Offen on their way over
to UNL it's a parking lot. Go easy on the pictures. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Now, this is a bone of real contention, and you
may recall it actually bubbled up during the two thousand
and six gubernatorial race between Dave Heineman and Tom Osborn
because Tom Primary Tom advocated providing in state tuition for
illegal immigrants at Heimada.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
I don't think so that's a bad idea.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
That's kind of things going to give me a win
on election night, and it did. Yeah. There, I mean,
they've made the argument that, well, if you're going to
be here in this country, we might as well educate you,
and of course you need health care, and you got
to have a driver's license, be driving anyway, you might
as well get in state tuition and all the rest
of this stuff. And meanwhile, there are people who live
here saying, you know, I don't know when the last
time you tried to get your kids college paid for.
(04:30):
It's expensive, And now we got the handout here for
people who are in the country illegally. This is not
gonna set well with a lot of Nebraskans. The Department
of Justice is fighting Nebraska, and I don't know who
they're fighting. Governor Pillen and Attorney General Hilgers are on
board with this. So now the eleven to ten KFAB
(04:50):
Certified Transmission Sports Brief.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Jim Rows very good, Sky, Good morning everybody. Yesterday was
the last day you could enter the college basketball transfer
portal for this spring, and two Huskers did. But it
is confusing, so try to follow along. Earlier this month,
the NCAA proposed an age based eligibility standard for players.
It would allow five years of competition beginning from their
(05:13):
nineteenth birthday or after they leave high school graduation. However,
there are no guarantees that the proposal will pass or
when it will go into effect. As a result, a
lot of fourth year seniors are entering the NCAA transfer
portal to keep their options open to return for another year,
just in case. JaMarcus Lawrence was a.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Very, very big part of Nebraska basketball's success this last year.
He's among them both. He is a fourth year senior guard.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
He would have another season of eligibility remaining under this
proposed five for five rule. What I don't understand is this,
if you go into the portal, you're technically available for
other teams. Why can't Nebraska be that other team. Why
is he in the poor Why doesn't he just stay
on the roster. If the rule passes, then he gets
(06:04):
to play another year. If it doesn't, he doesn't, And
apparently that means he can't play for anybody else either.
Just stay where we are. Well, this much is much
more clear. The Husker baseball team gave up three home
runs and lost at Kansas last night nine to seven.
KU is good now with sixty eight home runs as
a team. They are gutting for a regional invitation back
(06:26):
to the easy games this weekend for Husker baseball at
average Illinois just twenty and eighteen and an RPI of
eighty three. Nebraska's RPI this morning is fourteen Big Leagues.
It may have taken a wild pitch, but the Royals
finally win one, six to five walk off victory over
the Orioles last night ends a losing streak at eight.
Second baseman Michael Masse, you.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Know, that's what we're used to. That's what the last
two years have been, and you know, a lot of
guys in here know how to win, have been a
winning teams and obviously was tough stretch, but I think
that's what we're used to as We're inky doing.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
At a home run.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Last night on the scoreboard, American League Cleveland eight, Houston five,
the Yankees four, the Red Sox nothing, Toronto four, Los
Angeles two, the A's five, Seattle two, National League Giants three,
Dodgers one, Padres one, Rocky zip Cubs beat Philadelphia, Washington
over Atlanta, Salo's five, Miami three. Inter League play White
Sox eleven, Arizona five, Texas five, Pittsburgh one, Minnesota five,
(07:24):
the Mets three, Milwaukee twelve, Detroit four, Cincinnati twelve, Tampa
Bay six, Omaha Stormchasers ten, Toledo Mud Hens five. Playoff Scoreboard,
NBA Game two Philly one eleven in Boston ninety seven,
Portland one oh six, San Antonio one oh three, the
Lakers over Houston one oh one to ninety four. The
(07:46):
Lakers lead that series two games to none. NHL Playoffs
Tampa Bay over Montreal in Game two, three to two.
That series is tied up at one one on one.
The series with Boston and Buffalo tied now is the
Bruins win Game two, four to two. Utah over Golden
State three to two. That series tied one to one
in Colorado, be the Kings two to one in overtime,
(08:06):
and the Avalanche lead that best of series seventh series
two victories to none. Matt Rule resumed his whining about
NHL yesterday. If you recall last summer, he said, we're fine.
We have enough to buy players. As of yesterday. Rule
says we're not fine. Says it is not college football anymore,
it's pro football. That's a revelation. And he says, how
(08:28):
come we can't be first in output? That is a
question Husker fans are wondering, why can't we be first
in output?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
We'll have more on this throughout the morning. I am
Scott Vorhees, and I get a chance to hang out
here on Nebraska's morning news from six to ten with
my best friends. All Right, no one's gonna fight me
on that one. That's right. Okay, there we go. Did
you see Gen's picture on the front page of the
paper today. I did. That's Jim Rose, that's Lucy Chapman,
(08:57):
Craig Evans here as well, aka my best friends. Yeah,
I did. We've got the picture of our ten AM
host one hour a day, Jeene Stout. There's only been
on this radio station now for about five weeks or so,
that's it. She yeah, she's much longer than that. It
does you know. That was after the first show, but
(09:18):
she already has our first winner in the nationwide cash
contest that happened yesterday day two, early day two. In
the cash contest, I believe it was Tammy what's her
name in Beautiful Colon, Nebraska, listening there in Nebraska's Colon
and she was listening to the KFAB comment line. Put
the keyword on the website, got a call back, answered
(09:39):
the call. iHeartRadio said would you like a thousand dollars?
She said, yeah, I'm not busy, and so she got
something out of listening to this radio station. It's about time.
So yeah, Gene one Hour a Day has a cash
contest winner and is on the front page of the newspaper.
The issue, as we have discussed a few times here
(10:03):
after I believe the timeline is that Gene Stothard asked
a member of the Ewing administration to join her on
the radio show to talk about a variety of things,
and the Ewing administration said, we're not going to have
our department head go on Jean Stothard show and put
them in an awkward position with their former boss to
(10:24):
then have to explain what's going on under a new boss,
a new administration here with John Ewing as mayor. Now,
the way that Ewing phrased it in that release on
Facebook was aggravating. You know, I don't want my department
heads having to go out there and answer for my
administration like whoa, whoa, whoa. That's exactly what you do
(10:46):
to be accountable to the public. But I'll give Mayor
Ewing the grace that he didn't exactly mean it like that.
It specifically has to do with the former mayor hosting
a radio show wanting to talk to people in the
current mayor's administration, and he says, yeah, we're not gonna
We're not gonna do that. It was a contentious campaign,
it was only about a year ago, and we need
(11:08):
a little more time to pass here. Yeah, well, all
of that is nonsense.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
What're you're implying when you say those kinds of things
is that your department heads don't have the capacity mentally
or otherwise to handle a question without throwing politically the
mayor under the bus.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Right, What I'm saying is I don't think he meant
it that way. But the content, yeah, the content of
what he said certainly leads to that kind of path.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
The pathway to heaven is lined with good intentions. You
have to allow your people the freedom to do their
jobs and explain things to the public. This radio station
reaches a very, very significantly large part of the community,
people who pay taxes, people who vote in elections, and
this is a petty political spat between the current mayor
(11:55):
and the former one.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yep. Now, Gene is a Gene is as we know.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
She was elected to office numerous times, not just a mayor,
but to the city council, in the school board. So
people know this woman, they know how she functions. And
if she wants to visit with the street guy or
the public works guy or the parks and rec guy, which,
by the way, that job is open right now, or
the city forester or vile hatcher or anybody else, they
(12:23):
have the obligation to explain how their job is being
done in the best interests of the taxpayers and stay
away from political fights, stay away from well, when I
was doing it, And then they need to say, well, Gene,
you're not doing it anymore.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Here's how we're doing it. Now.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
So what Mayor Ewing is suggesting and his staff, his
executive staff, is we need to keep them away from
her with the threat of anything negative said about our
operation getting out on the radio. And that's unfortunate, that's
not being accountable to the public. Frankly, John should want
(12:58):
to come on the show because he's bull of handling
himself in a conversation with Jean Stothard, and I believe
the thousand watts that will happen at the point, not
today and maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the
rest of your life.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Makes him look bad.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
It makes him look petty, It makes him look it
makes him look very, very insecure, which I don't believe
he is. I don't believe he is. I believe he
has some capable people around him. I believe these people
may be influencing him in a way that may not
be necessary to be healthy for the rest of the
community in the foreseeable future. But he's a capable guy,
(13:32):
and he's he's he's not easily intimidated by anybody.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
No, he and he won. So this definitely comes down to, well,
I heard from some people in the city that you
want to come on my show. And then Ewing says,
I talk to some of these people and they don't
want to talk on her show. The answer is always
somewhere in the middle. But I have talked with the
Ewing administration and said, no, wait, is this a blanket
ban on anyone? And we have issue use a triumphant
(14:01):
tragedy in Omaha. It's kfab off limits to you and
your administration. And yes, and I have been told unequivocally, no,
good kfab is not off limits. We look forward to
many conversations on several different fronts, but right now, not
on her show. So yeah, So there's also so the
Omaha World Herald did a little profile on that. There's
(14:22):
a great picture of her in the studio, and that's
that's out there for your reading enjoyment. I'm sure she'll
have a few things to say about it after ten
o'clock this morning, right here on news radio eleven to
ten KFA, Chris Emails says, come on, guys, this is
what democrats do best. Mayor Ewing not allowing staff to
be on Jean Stothard show is nothing but pure arrogance.
(14:46):
They never want to answer or be held accountable for
their actions because they think that they're above that. My
question is, when the next big storm runs right through Omaha,
is he going to ban staff from getting out pertinent
information on her show? Then he won the election for
Pete's sakes, stand up and be a man and act
like it. That's from Chris sent to Scott at kfab
(15:07):
dot com. Well to answer your question there, Chris, is
he going to ban staff from being on her show
to talk about it? My understanding is that is not
going to be the case that if we have an
absolute emergency need that happens to fall during Jeene Stodthirt show,
that yes, the mayor's office and staff will be available
(15:30):
to us about that and other issues on this radio station,
just you know, a little chit chat with people that
she hired who now work for a different pause right now,
he says they don't want to be on her show.
It's too awkward for him. We're not going to do it.
So that's we're talking about this because it's in the
newspaper to day.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Well, it's too bad because they are capable of answering
Gene questions or how about this? Before the interview, they
say to Gene, look, stay away from politics. If you
want to ask me about filling potholes, or how we're
doing with the two hundred million dollars that we extracted
out of the taxpayers on that bondasheet to fixed streets,
or mowing the grass at the Memorial Park, or any
(16:08):
of the other things that have to do directly with
my executing of the job. Good, but stay away from
John Ewing stuff. Stay away from political stuff. Stay away
from Okay, when we did it it went like this.
Now you're doing it, it's going like that. There is
no confidence in the mayor's staff from him to them
that they could handle it, and that's disappointing.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
And a guy steal a pickup truck a few days ago.
They found it. It was crashed into a house early
this morning overnight near seventy fifth and Parker Streets. That's
blocks south of seventy fifth in Blondo And they have
the truck. It's buried in the house. They don't have
the driver. They're still looking for the driver. But this
(16:52):
was a stolen truck. So I imagine they called the
guy like, oh good, you found my truck. Yeah, it's
in a house near seventy fifth and BLONDEO. You mean
at a house. No, it's in the house. That's a
good way to wake up. That was about one thirty
this morning. Well, how would that go over in your house?
Someone slams into your house, You feel the explosion, you
(17:17):
hear the crash, you spring to life, you jump out
of bed, and you've got to spend a few seconds wondering, well,
did I dream that? Or did my house just blow up?
I'd probably wake up. My wife is like, hey, what
was that? Go check? Like, I think that was our imagination.
I'm going back to bed. Do you ever have to
(17:39):
jump up in the middle of the night because your
wife wakes you up and says I heard something, Go
check and see what it was? Very infuriating. Well, I'm
I've done a nuts. I've done it. I'm up in
my boxer shorts and walking around going if there is
something dangerous in this house, exactly what am I supposed
to do about it? I've got nothing right now except
(18:01):
you know Jack Johnson and Tommy O'Leary. Yeah, you know,
ready to ready to go give him the gun show. Yeah,
but speaking on behalf of your neighbors, and they have
complained to me all they have Please keep the bathrobe
closed when you go outside to check it out. I'll
take that under advisement. Things I don't go outside. Maybe
(18:23):
you don't if it's not inside the house. It is
very disconcerting though, when you hear a crash, you know,
some sort of loud bang that wakes you up, like, obviously,
I gotta go check and see what the heck that was.
You're thinking the worst. You're like, well, I something just
fell over. And then you look around the house. Nothing
(18:44):
is out of place. You're like, well, did something just
fall in the gruage? So now you're out in the
garage looking around at all the stuff in the walls.
The shovels are where they go here, everything's fine. This
explains why you look like you never get any sleep. Well,
it hasn't that ever happen to you?
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Well, the first year we lived in our new house,
the seaside villa that we have, h Yeah, the house settle.
What's see is that this strait of horror moos, Yes,
the straits of horror moos.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
We you know, the house settles, and anybody who's lived
in a new house knows this. And when the house settles,
you hear things like you know, a little pop there
and thinking, oh my gosh, there's the roof falling in,
and my wife would give me the every time, and
I go, the house is settling. Don't worry. No one
is breaking in in the first place. There's nobody else
(19:33):
out here because we were one of the first houses
on the street. So I go, it's the house is settling.
It's okay. Well now it doesn't do it anymore.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
The only sound you hear at your house is the
sound of your wife settling. Yeah, well she did that
a long time ago. That sounds like this.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Many of her friends have said, Yeah, that's why. Man,
you really you You ran that white flag up way
too soon.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
The sound of your wife's settling sounds like this. Yeah. Yeah,
well it's a good operation. Thank you, Thank you, Lucy. Hey,
you keep quiet over that. I don't want to hear
anything out of you. Well we got Lucy with traffic
in a moment.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I just do not understand how you can be upset
about somebody telling you that they're hearing a noise and
what if somebody is breaking into your ass? How does
that upset you?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Because she knows that if someone.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
She knows she here's a noise. If she doesn't know
anything beyond that.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
If if the if the hooth is broken into my
house and she sends me out there to deal with
it with no weapons, strength or any kind of uh,
you know, set of special set of skills. She knows
I'm just gonna get killed. And I think maybe that's
why she's sending me.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
That's why you should be get you should be polishing
up your numbchuck skills.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I said, honey, that was just a cat. She's like,
we don't have a cat anymore. Like, all right, I'll
go check. You'll be happy to know that. Independent US
Senate candidate Dan Osborn of Nebraska as released his multiple
point plan to as he says here in this press release,
protect your paycheck, social Security, and healthcare. And here's how
(21:10):
he's going to do it. Jim, I'll let you be
the one to say how after each of these points,
and this is all it is. It's just points. See,
we're going to have a middle class tax cut. We
got one last year. Yeah, I think that's that's great.
What is his parameter though, of the middle class, Because
anyone who makes more than about seventy thousand dollars is
(21:33):
considered rich beyond their wildest dreams and not subject to
a tax cut according to some who want to have
the poverty line at one hundred and eighty five percent
of where the poverty line is, and so therefore the
middle class is like a guy named Rick who makes
approximately fifty seven five hundred dollars a year, and if
(21:54):
he makes a penny more, well than he's wealthy. If
he gets married, he's wealthy. So what is the middle
class and how we going to give him a tax cut?
And then he says, implement this is the dan Osborne strategy.
Implement real no tax on tips or overtime. Well wait,
right now, we don't.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Well, I think he might be broadening the scope because
right now not everybody who gets a tip gets the cut,
but mostly the restaurant workers, uber drivers, taxicab drivers, rickshaw pullers,
they get the break on tips.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Who doesn't get the break on tips and overtime? No
tax on tips and overtime and by the way, maybe overtime.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
But the Social Security thing, that's the president has misrepresented
that you only get no tax on the first six
thousand dollars of benefits. You don't get them on you
don't get it on all of your social security.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Now.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I believe in Nebraska we're not taxing social security at
the state level anymore.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Okay, if fed still are. There's a lot in there.
There's twenty one points. I'm not going to cover all
of them. One of the there's point number six, stop shrinkflation.
What is that The government is then telling businesses you
can't adjust the amount of content in your packaging, how
many chips are in a package or whatever, in chargees
the same amount. That's something the government would do under
(23:16):
a Senate dan Osborne administration. Let's see here, targeted tariff policy.
Isn't that what the president's doing? So I thought tariffs
were a band thing. He also wants to legalize medical
marijuana and allow medicaid to negotiate lower prices with drug companies.
(23:40):
A lot of these sounds like things that the president's
already doing. No tax on tips, middle class tax cut,
not the legalization medical marijuana. But you can read more
at Osborne for Senate dot com. That's your independent Senate
candidate Dan Osborne, who ran Kellogg's and all those jobs
out of Omaha. Jim, I have a question for you.
(24:01):
Of course you do. What is a Christian nationalist. Well,
I think they're two different things. This is one phrase applied,
and we're hearing a lot in the wake of what
the President did in the Oval Office yesterday. So I'll
set this up. It's the Bible reading version of hands
(24:25):
across America that they're doing right now. They're doing a
full reading of the Bible. Different people in different ways
are reading the Bible. The President read a verse that
was recorded in the Oval Office, and here's the passage.
It comes from the fourteenth verse of the seventh chapter
of two Chronicles. And here's the President of the United States.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
If my people, which are called by my name, shall
humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn
from their wicked ways, then will I here from Heaven
and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
That's a portion of what the President read yesterday, only
about a manator. So he was wearing a blue suit
with kind of a red tie, not the white, and
wearing investments robes, investments that look like popular pictures of
Jesus Christ. Well, the literal. But people say, oh, this
is a popular verse among Christian nationalists who think this
(25:28):
is about America. This isn't about the United States, right, Really,
that Bible verse from the Old Testament's not about the
United States of America.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Sure well, the Christian I mean, first of all, the
nation was founded one nation under God, and God was
actually the guiding principle for the founding fathers. But I
know that's inconvenient and very past. Christian nationalism essentially a
political ideology that says we got to take biblical verses
and biblical concepts and applied them to government actions. And
(25:57):
then then the left will become extremely chaotic when they say,
well that what about separation church and state, which is
one of the most misunderstood concepts of our constitution. Amen,
all that's very very good, thank you. All that says
is that the church will know that the government will
not establish a religion for the country. There is no
other stipulation in there that says God can't be in
(26:18):
the halls of Congress, or God can't be in the
White House, or God can't be in the Supreme Court chambers.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
What about the Ten Commandments displayed in public school classrooms,
which was mandated by Texas been tied up in the courts.
An appeals court yesterday gave Texas a ruling said, yeah,
you can post the Ten Commandments in school. What you
can't do is you tell all your students say, look,
we're going to have a test today, but not for
the Christian kids. If you've accepted the Lord and Savior
(26:45):
Jesus Christ into your life, then you already get an
a plus. Now the rest of you heathens, you got
to do a test so that they can't do that,
And nor do they nor do that. Very few people
do that. Now.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
There is a lot of indoctrination in schools, but it's
not about out the New and Old Testament.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
It goes all over the place. And once you get
all the indoctrination out of your public schools, then let
me know and we'll see what other problems we can solve.
But people heard that that verse and they're like, oh no,
this is Christian nationalism. This is dog whistle for what
to turn away from their wicked ways. And people are
like you first, mister president, Yeah, every president should feel like, okay,
(27:24):
me first, let me look in the mirror and see
what I can do to be a better person and
a better president. I don't know that this president does that.
A lot. Probably more than you think though, So we'll
we'll move on to a few other things here. We'll
let Rosie critique the president. Still getting a lot of
angry emails now yesterday, that's on the Jim Rose podcast length.
(27:46):
We'll see what he's got in store for us here
in about an hour and five minutes. Scott at kfab
dot com and the Zonker's custom was inbox. Thank you
for the reminder. Here Mark Mark emails and tells each
of us a happy Earth Day. Lucy, what are you
doing to celebrate Earth Day?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Eating earth?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
You're gonna be eating earth? Well, tomatoes I suppose come
from the earth.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Well, now, how did you land on tomatoes?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Figure?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
But there is about a kajillion things that come from
the earth.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Well yeah, but you you didn't say I'm gonna be
eating things that come from the earth. I'm trying to
make you not sound like a looney person. I mean,
it can be eating dirt all day.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Well that's what I usually do.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
So what are you gonna be eating? Crust? Oh? Like
bread crust? No, the crust of the earth.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Now I'm gonna dig down to the iron ore Ooh.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
You would too. Lucy was in here painting the studio yesterday.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
True story, wasn't painting the studios because.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
He came in with paint. We always joked that Lucy
like spends every weekend painting the bathroom or painting the house,
or I was painting the underside of the gutters just because,
and then she came in here. She was painting them
around the window of our studio.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I finally figure figured out what that is about? What
is about that I like to paint that it's because
nobody liked the paintings that I painted.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Oh, you had wonderful paintings. One of them it them.
Once upon a time I saw Lucy with the blackout
paint and I thought, she's just gonna paint over the
window so she can't see us in here anymore. And
by the way, if you thought, did a person really
email and just wish you guys a happy Earth Day?
That seems a little off brand for evil conservative talk radio.
(29:36):
All right, I'll read the rest of the message. Mark
emails and says happy Earth Day. When will we have
a day to celebrate uranus? I'm Scott Borhes, welcoming back
to the program. Eleven to ten kfab White House correspondent
John Decker, who can see Virginia from the White House,
and yesterday's vote on readdistricting not just to vote, but
(29:57):
a court battle looming here. John, What did Virginia do yesterday?
Speaker 7 (30:00):
Well, what they did was they voted on a redistricting
plan that would change the makeup of the congressional delegation
for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Right now, there are eleven
seats that Virginia has in the US House of Representatives.
Fixed are held by Democrats, five are held by Republicans.
Under this new plan, ken would be held by Democrats,
(30:23):
one would be held by Republicans. And so this is
in response to what happened last year in the state
of Texas with their redistricting plan that was followed by
California and Virginia soon followed suit. This plan will be
challenged in the courts, and this plan will ultimately be
decided in terms of whether or not it's legal by
(30:46):
the Virginia Supreme Court.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, every few years or so, it seems like whatever
ruling political party of the state decides to do a
little bit of redistricting usually not met with all the
outcry we've seen this year, whether it's Texas, California, but
Virginia going from a six' Five democrat Over republican majority
in terms of their congressional seats to what would stand
(31:10):
all things being, equal ten to, one that seems like
a lot of people are being truly disenfranchised In. Virginia,
well that will be up.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
To the courts to. Decide you, know what typically happens
is there is. Redistricting it, happens but it happens every
ten years after the. Census it doesn't happen mid decade
like we're seeing happen right. Now that's what makes it so.
Unusual and one of the reasons why it's happening is
because of the very narrow majority That republicans have in
The house Of representatives and the headwinds That republicans will
(31:43):
face In. November headwinds because, historically the party in power
loses seats at the, midterms and that's What republicans are concerned,
about is losing control of both The house and The.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Senate, yeah but if they're already The democrats thought is

you show up and ask me you'd be the? One thank,
You Bruce, Crawford Thanks, scott appreciated love having you hang
out with us on news radio eleven ten. KFAB i
don't know what it says about, me but WHEN i
hear a story that, says here's a guy that threw
away his career and marriage for this. WOMAN i immediately
(37:52):
take a look online to see what this woman looks,
like to see IF i, mean there's there's nothing there
that would, say, like, well that explains. It it doesn't explain.
It it might make it easier to understand on some,
level BUT i can't help it WHEN i see that
former and you, president then Former ohio State President Ted
(38:16):
carter has now thrown away his career and marriage for
this woman that by all, accounts there was an inappropriate
relationship and and a lot of trips taken and directives
made for people in his office to make sure she
has whatever she wants and. Needs and then finally he
(38:37):
got dismissed out, there And i'm, like all, right so
what's this woman's. NAME i take a look at her and, go.
Huh you, know.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
SO i if You're Elliott spitzer and you're gonna do
it you, did do you do it with a? Ten,
okay if you're gonna do, it do it with a.
Ten it's like scheduling A division two team on your football.
Schedule you don't want to play a really Good division two.
Team you want to a bad one because if you
lose to, him it doesn't matter whether they're really good
(39:04):
or really.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Bad, WELL i think what we should say is don't
do any of. This well there's, that but if a guy,
DOES i can't help but check and, see if you know,
why what was so alluring about? This so that's that's
what's accused. Here the former president Of Ohio state and before, That,
Nebraska Ted, carter according to the university report released, yesterday
(39:25):
didn't just cross the. Line he repeatedly bent his office
around this one, woman Who The New York post describes
as a failing. Podcaster, well and why do we care
about it? Now because it was happening, here and it
was happening in his, office and it was happening apparently
(39:45):
with the cooperation of other high Ranking university Of nebraska,
officials and in particular the guy who later became interim,
president who hired the athletics, Director Chris, kubarik who was
opera in conjunction With Ted carter's according to the, report
With Ted carter's. Behavior in, fact he was facilitating much
(40:08):
of this, behavior not only there but. Here and if you,
recall he was fired from here and he was immediately
hired By Ted carter for a very senior position At Ohio.
State he has since left that position under diress and
was hired By West. Virginia this was a guy that
he was accused of doing.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Well it had to do with facilitating meetings and behavior
and activities Between ted and this.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
Lady. Activities this is according to the report. Here the
married for forty five years Ex Navy Admiral Vett Ted
carter met this woman in twenty twenty three while leading
The university Of nebraska, system and then allegedly arranged access
to His Ohio state. Office apparently there was like some
(40:58):
sort of back or access as she could come and
go as she, pleased and so, forth fabricated a business
purpose for at least one shared, trip traveled with her
to various cities Including Las vegas And. Orlando Pushed Ohio
state staff and partners to assist this woman with her.
Podcast what's the name of her? Podcast what's this woman's?
(41:22):
Name Chris? Santh she's half of a Flower Chris santh
vlachos podcaster with whom he has acknowledged an inappropriate. Relationship
So i'm just you, know people make bad decisions all the,
(41:42):
time whether you're the coach of The New England patriots
or former head of The university Of nebraska In Ohio.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
State, well the issue, is you, know the vetting of these.
People and what was so disappointing to me on many
levels when this whole thing With Ted carter came, down
was how insincere and misleading he was To nebraskan's and
to The governor Of nebraska and to. Others AND i
hope it serves as a little bit of a a
(42:12):
clarion call that we have to reevaluate constantly the paradigm
for hiring important, people and this notion that we have
to have somebody because they look good on, paper or
this notion that we must retain somebody for fear that
if we, don't it'll somehow cast us a spell over our,
(42:33):
program or some meleeis or a stain on the prom,
dress whatever the case may. Be we have to stop doing.
That and part of it is we have collective committees
that hire these, people which in my, opinion is a.
Mistake you hire somebody to hire. Somebody in the case
of The board Of, regents they hire the presidents it's
essentially their only big.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Job they approve budgets.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
And they hire, presidents but you get too many of
them on a, committee and the least objectionable person gets the,
job not the best, one but often the least objectionable,
one and it cuts down on the field of. Eligibles
but then when they come along and, say, Hey i'm
committed to this, place and if you just give me
(43:15):
a little bit more money and a little bit more golden,
Parachute i'll stop looking AND i won't pick up the
phone when somebody. Calls that is exactly What Ted carter
told the governor and some other important university, people supporters
and politicos before he took the job At Ohio state
And nebraskan's bristle at, this and we wonder about confidence
(43:37):
in the. Institution but it does it sound to me
and others like you're doing a little, bit maybe a
lot of twenty twenty hindsight in. This how are they
supposed to know That Ted carter was years after he
was hired by The university Of nebraska system delete. It
then go on to use a donation of one hundred
thousand dollars in unrestricted donations To Ohio state to start
(43:59):
trying to get three million dollars for a veterans app
that she was behind because he thinks she's.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Hot you, know we didn't know that at the. Time
what were you going to? Do ask? Him, Hey, ted you,
know how's the? Corral you ever gonna hop?
Speaker 3 (44:14):
It my understanding is is that there had been significant
speculation about some of this behavior By President carter And
Vice President kubarik long before it, happened but people were
afraid to bring it up confront people because these were
powerful individuals who'd had the confidence of the governor and
(44:37):
members of The board Of. Regions but the overarching theme to, Me,
scott is that these kinds of things erode public confidence
in the. University it is an extraordinarily important thing to our.
State it is a very expensive thing to our, state
and the Average nebraska family has lost confidence in higher
ed and part of it is stuff like. This you,
(45:00):
know who's minding the store and what are we? Doing
are these people good? People have they surrounded themselves with good?
People what kind of individuals are blocking and tackling for?
Them and when you see things like this, unfold you
go see every fear or every SUSPICION i had is coming,
true and it is particularly galling to the forty nine
(45:23):
members of The nebraska unicameral who get to approve their.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
Budget If i'm a parent of a kid at The
university Of, NEBRASKA i want to make sure my kid
is doing to their, expectations doing the best they, can,
overachieving AND i want The husker sports teams to do the.
Same as far as the private life of the, UNIVERSITY
i could give a rip other than talking about on the.
Radio but right Now i'm looking at The New York
post that has a picture Of Ted carter and his
(45:49):
wife and, children And i'm, thinking you, know there are
a lot of attractive women out. THERE i don't know
how many of them are so attractive that you would
have your family picture put on the national news as
an example of what you ruined by jumping into bed
with this chick over. Here speaking Of, Lincoln, nebraska A lincoln,
(46:09):
woman according To First alert Six, news has been. Arrested
there was a gender reveal party and the mother to
be got a pink handgun put in her. Face the
woman who pulled this pink and silver handgun from her
purse pointed it at the pregnant woman and yelled and
(46:30):
this is a quote from the, story Quote i'm finna
shoot you on my, block on my hood en. Quote
obviously it was a very old white woman who did.
This i'm finna shoot, You, finna, yeah finna. Exactly that's
a shorthand for fixing To, okay, Yeah i'm going To
(46:51):
i'm finna shoot. You and then she pointed the gun
at her own, uncle who was not. Pregnant and it was, Pink,
yes a pink. Gun don't know if that means that
it was a, girl it's she was HAVING i Don't
i'm read the whole. Story apparently there was a dispute about.
Something she pulls the pink, handgun points it at the
(47:13):
the mom who's having the gender reveal party because some
kid asked to use someone's camera and was told. No
and then this woman took, exception how dare you not
allow my kid to do? Whatever here she, wants pulled the,
gun points it at. Everyone, later the authorities call her and,
say you, know we found that you were pointing a
(47:34):
gun at a, party and she, goes, Yeah i'm just
letting stuff die. Down it's not a big, deal and
they're like, yeah but the witnesses were terrified about what,
happened and she, said quote, yeah, UNQUOTE i got a
fin of them, Too. Finna she's in court, Today but
we never found out what kind of baby that mom's gonna.
Have who may have had it at that moment that
(47:56):
the gun was pointed at. Her maybe the uncle did,
too

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
