Gretna Parents on Alert / Iran Warned Again / Memorial Makeover

Another week, another dangerously crazy person on the streets of Omaha for no good reason.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning. It's Monday morning. Holy smokes, this Monday morning.
Thank you very much for being with us here. This
is Nebraska's Morning News on news radio eleven ten KFAB
with Lucy Chapman, Craig Evans. You just heard from Jim
Rose as well. I am Scott Vorhees, and we're all
going to talk at the same time at various points

(00:20):
throughout the morning. Let me start off in this manner.
Anytime the president of the United States blinks, a judge says, whoa,
whoa whoao. You can't blink like that. Judges step in
there and say, nope, the president just blinked. Can't blink.
So judicial circumstances being what they are, we have just

(00:43):
shut down the president's ability to blink. The president says,
these are my eyelids. The presidents before have always blinked. Biden, Well,
Biden didn't blink a whole lot. But the judge says, no,
you do. Hey, I'm a judge. Who do you think
you are? You're just a president. I'm a judge, and
you can't change anything we just did here. So is
there no one who can step in here in Omaha

(01:06):
and turn things around based on what this judge just did.
There's a guy out there picked up by authorities who
is chasing around eleven and twelve year old girls this
past Thursday in Gretna, in the neighborhood of one hundred
and ninety six and Q When Douglas County Sheriff's officials

(01:27):
managed to catch him up and question him. They asked him,
why are you chasing around these young girls, and according
to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office press release, he said
it was for the purpose of wanting to have relations
with them. I'm changing some words because I don't know

(01:47):
how many kids are up listening here this morning, but
you you catch the drift here. The guy told the cops, well, chasing,
I'm chasing them down here because I think if I
catch them that they're going to see that I'm for them,
so to speak. It happened near their schools. This guy
lives near an elementary school. So they did their job.

(02:11):
They caught the guy. They take him before a judge,
and the judge said, I don't see him having a
very big score of being a problem to society, so
we're gonna let him out. Paid a two thousand dollars
cash bond. If you've seen a picture of this guy,
his big, weird, creepy eyes and giant five head, guy

(02:34):
who was just out there chasing around girl. Sorry if
you're offended, I'm making fun of his looks. This judge
looked at this guy with his crazy eyeballs, heard what
he had just done, and said, ah and let him out.
I don't know how he gets ten thousand or two
thousand Bucks's this guy doing for money? So the judge

(02:59):
gave him a pre trial release score of one, four
being the highest, one is the lowest, and he's now
under pre trial supervision of the Douglas County Department of Corrections.
That's not a large group of people who can do
a whole heck of a lot in a situation like this.

(03:21):
In the meantime, grettin a public schools put out a
press release to their parents and little heads up to
the parents encouraging their kids when they go to school
this morning to use the Buddy system. Don't be alone,
stay alert, never approach a stranger. If someone approaches you,
call nine to one one or go find an adult.
Your kids and Gretna are having to walk to school

(03:42):
using a crowd system because a judge decided this guy
wasn't too much of a threat to children. Again, the
guy who just a few days ago was chasing children
saying he wanted to have interaction with them that he
is not allowed to have. And that's im, that's what

(04:05):
I'm asking, you know. The president blanks. The judge steps
in and says, oh no, so no judge, No one
can step in here and and say this judge clearly
made a mistake. And I know many of yours starting
to email, typing more loudly and furiously than Jim Rose
in the background over there, trying to email me and say, hey,

(04:27):
who's this judge? Who's this I'm trying to email you. Well,
who's this judge? What's this judge? Okay, well you can
just tell me you got a microphone in front of
your face here. I don't know. I've seen three different
judges named in social media posts, and I don't know
why it's so impossible to find out which judge in
our community said this guy is not a concern, and

(04:50):
he's apparently not a concern. But the Greton of public
schools just told parents don't let your kids walk to
school alone this morning. That's happening this morning in Gretna
one hundred ninety sixth and Q is where he was
doing this on Thursday, and they I don't know who's
keeping an eye on this guy today. I don't know

(05:11):
that anyone can overrule this judge. It's a very sad circumstance.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Maybe it's the same person that was supposed to be
watching over Naomi Guzman.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Well, right now he's under a pre trial supervision by
the Douglas County Department of Corrections Miami. Guzman had to see,
had to check in with the counselor wants every blue moon.
I don't once every seventeen or eighteen blue moons. To
the same point, Jim, there aren't enough people to be
able to do all of this, check all this stuff

(05:42):
out all the time. That's Jim Rose. He's got sports
brief in just a moment. When you decide you want
to send a message with your own voice into the studio,
you are welcome to do so.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
Interesting. We can't lock up criminals or put the crazies
away because it harmed their dignity, but taking away everybody's
guns just because it'll save one life would be worth it.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Interesting Yeah, it's very interesting to put it there, as
the talk back responder did, to see whose rights are
constantly being taken away or changed. Meanwhile, the guy on
Thursday is chasing down eleven and twelve year old girls
at a park near one hundred ninety sixth and Q.
The authorities catch him. What are you doing? He goes,

(06:31):
I wanted to I wanted to have some some physical
relations with these girls. This is a how old is
this guy? A creepy looking older guy? And he They
arrest him, and a judge says, oh, he's not that
much of a threat gives him. I didn't realize that

(06:54):
does sound familiar that they assign you a risk score
in a situation like this, a judge has to look
at you after you've been arrested. In Lucy's case again
and assess her level of risk if you're let out
on bail. One to four one is Hey, this guy,

(07:16):
all he's trying to do is grab girls and attack them. Oh,
come on, what does four look like? If that's one,
what does two look like? Two means that you must
be a porn star. I don't think that's illegal. I'll
restate that. Never mind, let's go right to sports Free Pier.

(07:37):
We had a wonderful weekend of baseball here for the
local teams E eleven ten KFAB certified transmission sports brief.
Heer's Jim row Heerry Goods guy. Good morning everybody.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
If you were skeptical about Husker baseball and its team
this year and its capacity to win games in the
NCAA tournament, worry no more.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Husker swept number eight USC.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
This weekend, sixteen to six in the final yesterday. For
the three games, Nebraska scored thirty six runs. Run ruled
the Trojans, who brought in a top five pitching staff
twice blasted the crap out of them. Here's coach Will Bolt.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
This group's always had confidence. I think this was a
chance to make a statement a weekend where you know,
we went down to Auburn and then that was our
first moment, right we won Friday night. We didn't finish
that weekend off. We knew we kind of missed an
opportunity at to oorg In on Sunday, but it was
a hard fought week. It was one to three. We
knew it was really really fine line. So we never

(08:32):
lost confidence. We've always had a lot of confidence, but
it was good to answer the bell this week in
a four and oh week after going one in three
when we really needed to have it.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
The wins jumped Nebraska's RPI into the green zone top twenty.
That puts the Huskers on a collision course to hosting
a regional for the first time in eighteen years, and
when they play at home, it.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Is the Magic Kingdom.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Creighton sweeps Villanovo, winning yesterday's doubleheader twenty to two and
fourteen to three. D un splits with North Dakota State
and Fargo won the opener, lost the night cap. Big
Leagues Kansas City's now lost seven in a row. Yankees
not very hospitable seven to nothing. They complete the sweep,
winning yesterday seven to nothing. Seattle, Detroit, Chicago, and Cleveland

(09:16):
win games. Late games in the National League Atlanta four
to two over the Phillies, Colorado nine six over the Dodgers,
and in interleague play Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, the Cards, Padres, and
Blue Jays all one games, Omaha four to two over Indianapolis.
NBA NHL Playoffs Game one Boston won twenty three, Philadelphia
ninety one. Oklahoma City over Phoenix won nineteen eighty four,

(09:38):
San Antonio beat Portland one to eleven to ninety eight.
Orlando upsets the Pistons, the top seed in the East
one twelve to one oh one. NHL Playoffs first games,
Colorado two to one over the Kings, Montreal four to
three over the Lightning Buffalo and its first playoffs in
fifteen years will win over Boston four to three, Vegas

(09:59):
four un tah two golf winner as Matt Fitzpatrick, the
Englishman Heritage Sea Pines Classic at Hilton Head, beat Scheffler
in a one hole playoff, fourth tour win for Fitzpatrick.
When we last checked in on Matt, he was boging
the seventy second hole at the Players Championship and lost
the tournament by one stroke. Husker Basketball nabs a transfer

(10:21):
out of the portal this weekend. Boden Capke, a well
traveled big man, commits started at Butler than to Boston College.
Think rink a mass to two point zero as a
good shot from three, more gritty over pretty. He's a
serviceable big man who could use good coaching, and Nebrasko
give him that. He will do here what Fred likes

(10:41):
from his big guys. Pass the ball, pop out and
shoot it. Create for the guards sports his news on
Nebraska's news weather in Traffic station KFAB News Time in
the morning, six twenty three, and.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
We're renovating Memorial Stadium. I know this will be a
longer conversation later in the morning, but what is what's
your knee jerk reaction to this? Because I saw lots
of knee jerks online over the weekend related to this. Ah.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Well, if you look at their overall objective, Scott, which
is to generate revenues for the athletic department, this is
how you do it. You turn your stadium into an
ATM machine. But don't be confused, this is not for
the fans. This is for the revenue that comes from
the place. They need this place to do more than
generate money seven days a year, and that's what this

(11:27):
plan is meant to do. Now, there are some structural
infrastructural needs that need to be addressed. Why they didn't
do that is because they had a broader plan to
rebuild the place. Why go in fix a bunch of stuff,
then have to go back in a couple of years
later and tear things out.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
So yeah, it's a one.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Hundred and three year old building and one hundred three
year old buildings need work. But this objective is not
about making it more comfortable for the fans. This is
about the ultimate objective is we need to generate more
money because the time is coming when the players will unionize,
and when they unionize, they will begin negotiating for significant

(12:08):
percentages of revenues. And when you have a stadium that
generates revenues on days when they're not playing football, you
don't have to share that money with the players. That's
the goal.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
I have a lot of questions, and I'll tell you,
and I'll tell you the number one and then one
a bits of skepticism related to the Memorial Stadium action
here that's coming up. Can't wait. And we're all here
on news radio eleven to ten kfab. It's great to
have you here with us. When you're not here, neither
are we. It's true. Turn off the radio. We all

(12:42):
just we all just walk away. And then when we
see you diving for that button again, we're like, hey, hey,
he's gonna trust back on. And we run back in
here and we get our microphones back on and we're
back to broadcasting only exercise I get. I know, it's
the old tree in the forest. If if radio hosts
are yapping into microphones and there's no one there to
listen to them, or are they even broadcasting? I know,

(13:05):
ask our competitors whoa All right, now, let's let's talk
about Memorial Stadium here, Jim Rose, you used to work there,
you've been there, You're familiar with the place. You're familiar
with the place. The Husker fans are familiar with the place.
Four hundred some odd sellouts. What's our sellout streak? Up?
Two or ten? Okay, people are automatically saying, the reason
that we're doing these renovations to Memorial Stadium is to

(13:29):
decrease the number of seats there so we can hold
on to the precious sellout streak A factor? Is it
a factor? What's it gonna go to? Because we we
ballooned up and then they said that's I don't know
if ninety three is a good number. And then it
came back down a little bit. And there are certainly
a lot of skeptics that say they're just giving away
all these tickets to boys and girls clubs at the

(13:50):
last minute so they can say it's a sellout and
they are. Yeah, So then there's a question, is it
a real sellout streak or whatever? Are they what's the
number going to be when they're done with all this renovation, Well,
they'll drop it sixty two.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
It's a good question, and they haven't really answered it
yet because the final design is not complete yet. But
it's a two and a half year renovation and they're
going to blow up a bunch of seats and put
in chair backs, which takes up more space. They're going
to go from fifteen inches to nineteen inches.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
On each of the seats. Because why is that.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Well, when we built the place, we were eating bugs
for a living, and so we were all a lot
skinnier back in the nineteen twenties. But now we're loading
up on big Max and you know, dunkin Donuts, and
that means, you know, we're wider.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
They are.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
This is one thing I think you need to consider
as you start evaluating as a Husker fan all of
this stuff. Number One, they're only going to have seven
thousand student tickets, and that is illustrative of how much
they want to make on each seat. They want people
with money to buy the seats and students typically don't.
By comparison, my freshman you're down there, we had nineteen

(15:01):
thousand student tickets. So with only seven thousand student tickets,
that says they want people in the seats.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
They're going to put a tariff on it and pay
the tariff.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
This is going to be about generating revenue for the
athletic department. Do we need a new stadium now? Can
they just go in and spend one hundred million dollars
or whatnot and just pay for it out of university
revenues and fix the infrastructure, the pipes and the plumbing
and the electrical The answer is well, yeah, that's fine,
but that doesn't generate any more money to the stadium.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
All right, some more questions.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
They're going to move the band of the end zone,
which frees up some very valuable seats in the East
Stadium that they can sell for fifteen hundred to two
thousand a pair. What is what's the timeline for renovations
You said it's over the span of two and a
half years. What about during football season, because right now
someone there is saying, what about my seats? You know,
going to be a problem in the south end zone

(15:51):
as soon as this season is over and the high
school playoffs are done, they're going to start tearing into
the South Stadium and the West Stadium. The East and
North State teams will pretty much stay the same, but
they're going to tear into the other ones because they
want to create a concourse. It will make it easy
to move back and forth between the South and the
West stadiums, which.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Is impossible right now.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
It is, and it's impossible right now because of how
the stadium was configured an attitude over the years. But again,
this means, well, why would they need to do that, Rosie,
Because they're going to have restaurants and bars in there,
maybe even a game room in there that's for year
around use, not just on game days.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Oh wait, all right, So before I get back to
this point you keep making. I told you there were
two big things that Husker fans were saying online ash,
and one of those was we're just trying to pad
the sell out streak by reducing the number of seats.
The other thing, one a then, is we're wasting this

(16:53):
money on chair backs and concourses and when we should
be using that money defensive end and wide receivers. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Ah, it's a fair observation, but the two pots of
money are very different because right now, and we won't
go into all of the detail because if you've listened
to KF ANDB for the last year and a half
on a regular basis, we've talked about this a lot.
The nil culture is now under scrutiny because we have
a settlement that was determined and accepted through the courts

(17:27):
and that has said you can generate twenty million of
your you can actually distribute twenty million of your revenues
to athletes, and after that they have to go get
it on their own. Theoretically, Nebraska's made promises to people
before they had to go ahead and get it on
their own, and that's why they're in a court case
right now. So the money that goes to the players

(17:47):
is part of a revenue share that each school has
agreed to if they if they signed off on the settlement.
Some schools didn't sign off on it, like Creighton, they
can give them anything they want, but in this case
is part of the settlement. And then the NIL money
to like Dakoldest Crawford, he goes out and gets SOS
heating and air and he gets to be the coldest

(18:08):
that's supposed to have, right, that's supposed to happen independent
of athletics and the department. But the department is facilitating
many of these nil deals. So the money that the
donors give to build the tom Osborne Complex or the
stadium is money they typically wouldn't be giving to athletes

(18:29):
anyway unless there was an advertising marketing component.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
So in other words, it's two different pots. So you
got a pot here from Memorial Stadium, and then there's
a pot for stuff like this. I'm always the kodest
exactly my favorite commercial ever. Sorry, that was really loud.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
A shooting near Levi Carter Park yesterday morning left three
people injured. The investigation continues. Aron says that it will
not be participating in peace talks with the US plan
to take place in Pakistan. President Trump posted that his
envoys would arrive in Pakistan Monday for negotiations. A man
is facing charges in California after allegedly buying expensive lego

(19:06):
sets and replacing the pieces with pieces of drying pasta,
sealing the boxes back up and returning them to stores.
He made about thirty four thousand dollars before he was caught.
He's also linked with dozens of similar cases in Texas, Tennessee,
New Jersey, and Florida. I'm Craig Evans. More news at
the top of the hour at NewsRadio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
All right, Craig, thank you very much. Love having his
voice on our radio station. Craig Evans right there alongside
Lucy Chapman and Jim Rose. What a program. I'm lucky
to be I am. You hear my level of talent,
and you know I'm honest when I say I'm lucky
to be a part of this. I'm Scott Vorhees. Lucy.

(19:50):
You don't have to agree so quickly that that. No, Scott,
you bring a lot to the table. Thank you. Lucy. Well,
you do bring a lot, but you don't predonnant. So
I'm sorry, I don't know, cannot make a note bring
donuts to Lucy. You should have said something before. This
is News Radio eleven to ten KFAB. Sports in a

(20:11):
moment before sports, we continue to talk sports Memorial Stadium expansion.
This is going to be something. When are they starting
this thing? Jim today? Tomorrow? No, this is a good
time to do it.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
It's the off season, right after the boys at the
state high school football final.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Why aren't they starting now? It's nice weather, We've already
done the spring game games coming like what games? Yeah,
if you're in the South or the West stadium.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
I don't know if everybody's seat is going to be
affected by this initial cut in a construction, but a
lot will. So I'm sure they're communicating with you about
what your seat condition will be like for the opener.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
So we've talked about what might happen to your seat.
We've talked about how this is a pot of money
for Memorial Stadium work, not necessarily something that would take
away from nil and getting a receiver, defensive back, whatever.
Talked about the accusations this is to pad the sellout streak.
Now you've said numerous times here this is so we

(21:06):
want to have concourses and other stuff going on Memorial Stadium.
So there's more going on there other than the seven
days we have home football games throughout the year. What
else are we going to do? What else happens there?
We got the Zach Bryan concert this Saturday night. Are
we doing more stuff like that? Oh?

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeah, The Savannah Bananas are coming in for a baseball
game this June baseball games. I think you're talking about concerts,
real concerts, but all the other stuff too, Scott, you know, conventions, conferences.
They can lease out the stadium. Notre Dame does this
lease out the stadium with the beautiful vistas of the
stadium for corporate outings. If they have year round restaurants

(21:43):
and bars, they want folks to come into the Memorial
Stadium grill or whatever it is. Maybe they'll have a
high end restaurant in there. It's all about the experience.
You can go in there.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
In just a random Tuesday night at the Memorial Stadium
and eat a pork chop. Well you could.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
You will be able to after they open these restaurants
in there, really, because I heard the same thing about
the baseball stadium in downtown Omaha, and outside of baseball games,
we don't have a lot of that stuff going on.
Remember Jim Subtle said there was gonna be a toboggan
run there, and I'm still disappointed.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Gonna be a hot child hot in there.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
I wanted a toboggan run now still don't have it.
They're gonna get all of that in Memorial Stadium. I
don't know about the toboggan run. But they're gonna get
lots of money making little enterprises in there, which is
what's happening in college sports.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
This is not unique to Nebraska.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
A lot of the big time programs are thinking, Look,
how do we maximize the facilities that we have that
we have to maintain, that require a lot of personnel.
We have to start thinking differently about how to generate revenues.
But the broader issue, again, Scott to me, is and
this goes back decades at Nebraska, do we want a
university the football team is proud of or do we

(22:57):
want a football team the universities?

Speaker 1 (22:59):
Well, yeah, who's you talk about? Well, we got to
have people come in there. They're only gonna come in
there if they like what they see on the field.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
They're planning on having people get so excited about Husker
football in the off season based on what they do
during the regular season.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
I'm fine with all that. I want this to work out.
I believe it will. That's why I am a fan.
But in the meantime, instead of hiring contractors to go
in there and do all this work, this could be
good practice for the football team. It's some off season conditioning.
All right, run him, run the skidloader. Today's demolition ball. Today, guys,
we're putting seatbacks on chairs. We've got to take out

(23:36):
all these bleachers and put in some seats. If you
are sending your kids to school in Gretna right now,
as the school told you over the weekend, use the
buddy system. There's a guy who on Thursday chased after
an eleven and twelve year old girl at a park
near one hundred and ninety sixth and Q. Police questioned him,
what were you trying to do there a big guy,
and this thirty four year old man with big scary

(23:59):
eyes and a five said I was trying to have
physical relations with them, and they said, but they don't
want to do that with you. And he had a
dumbfounded look on his face like normal, and so they
put him afore a judge, and a judge said, I'm
sure he's sorry and let him back out. So gretting
is like, all right, use the buddy system. You know

(24:19):
who could be your buddy. Your father might be your buddy.
And going to school here this morning. Now we also
have news from the President of the United States. See
this is not a rerun. This is live. It is
now ten minutes after seven o'clock on Oh it's four

(24:41):
to twenty day. We got to play all Snoop Dogg
and Willie Nelson music the rest of the morning, so
it's live here today. See if this sounds familiar to you,
President says, if Iran doesn't agree to not having nuclear
weapons and letting all the ships through the straight of
horror moves, they quote. We're offering a very fair and

(25:02):
reasonable deal, says the President on truth Social and I
hope they take it because if they don't, the United
States is gonna knock out every single power plant and
every single bridge in Iran. All quotes. No more, mister
nice guy. He's doing song lyrics. Now, who was that? Lucy?

(25:23):
Alice Cooper? Alice Cooper, Thank you, Lucy. Well, she's probably
busy doing the cars. I thought that was Lucy the Car,
the band or Traffic. Very funny that could be. There's
a band called Traffic, and there's a band called the Cars,
and Lucy can do all that stuff.

Speaker 5 (25:40):
I'm impressed you knew them both.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Now, Lucy, do your impression of Jim Rose. Nope, Okay,
there you go. That's it. Right there. You're wait people
see ready, yeah, please doing something? No, Hey, yeah, that's
Jim typing as like Jim is the loudest typer on
the planet. On Courtney Donaho's much louder than me. That's true. Yeah,
that we would when back when we used to talk

(26:03):
to her live. How come you guys don't do that.
It's a long story. It's not our fault. It's it's
not even her fault. We want to maybe someday they'll
come back. So she would Gary would ask her a question, Hey, Courtney,
what about that merger between and you? Just hear Bank
May May Bank on a keyboard one time. I said, hey, Courtney,
are you typing with a ball peen hammer? And she goes,

(26:24):
how did you know? Oh we could barely tell. Yeah,
it's a it's a microphone issue. More so, the president says,
if Iran doesn't agree to this deal, I'm blowing up
all the power plants and bridges. They'll come down fast,
they'll come down easy, And if they don't take the deal,
it'll be my honor to do what has to be done,
which should have been done to Iran by other presidents

(26:46):
for the last forty seven years. It's time for the
Iran killing machine to end. Sign President Donald J. Trump.
That was posted on his truth social let's see here
yesterday morning. So it's not a re This is the
President saying, look, I gave you guys a few days
to make a deal. Your few days is coming to

(27:06):
an end. How's that deal coming? Zach Brian seems like
an interesting concert for Memorial Stadium. I've only been to
one concert at Memorial Stadium. That was Garth Brooks along
with everyone else in the entire Midwest. And what an
incredible night that was. Jim, you missed out on the
Garth Brooks show. Even people who aren't Garth Brooks fans

(27:29):
walk away from a Garth Brooks show going He's the
most amazing entertainer I've ever seen. I've seen a Garth
Brooks concert, just not that one. You should have gone
to that. Okay, that was a great time. So, but
Garth has got a lot of you know, fun, loud,
rowdy songs. Zach Bryan, from what I've heard, does not,
so it seems like an interesting He seems to be

(27:50):
a bit more pensive, mellow. I'm sure everyone's gonna have
a great time, hopefully, the rain stays away Saturday night.
It's gonna be a little chilly on Saturday night Memorial Stadium,
but they'll have alcohol sales that'll help. As soon as
I say that, I remember that I know one of
the thousands of people who will be there. It's my daughter,
who is not old enough to drink. I'm sure she won't.

(28:12):
My daughter, she goes to k State and she goes
to ky Status. She doesn't die. She must be locked
up in her door. So this last Saturday night, they
had a concert at k State. Every once in a while,
like the student Activities Council brings in someone who they
can afford. And it was Solsia Boy. Solia Boy, oh,

(28:35):
a couple of rap hits in the early two thousands,
I think, so before all these college students were born.
But my daughter wanted to go where the party was
and tickets were only ten bucks, so she and her
friends all went Saturday night to see Soljia Boy. The
show was supposed to start at like eight o'clock. At
eight thirty, they had someone come out from the Activities

(28:56):
Council and start playing a bunch of games with the
students and attendance like they were kindergarteners, and then finally
here comes Solsia Boy at ten fifty. Soldier Boy mumbled
over a pre recorded track for about thirty minutes and
then said good night Kansas City again. He was in Manhattan,

(29:17):
Kansas at Kansas State University and then left. My daughter said,
it was only ten bucks. I didn't even get my
money's worth for ten bucks. Did they boo him? I
don't know. I didn't hear whether they booed him. And
then I think he's going up to Carney. Then I'll say, oh, yeah,
he drove by Karney. Yeah yeah, hey, hey, omaha, thanks great,

(29:41):
half great great SENI good night Cleveland. I think Zach
Bryan will be better than that. So your kids' school
just sent out a letter to parents saying, yeah, there's
a dangerous guy that was chasing down an eleven and
twelve year old girl. Eleven and twelve year old girls
at a park near one hundred and ninety sixth and

(30:02):
Q on Thursday. When stopped by authorities, they said what
are you doing? Zach? And the thirty four year old
guy with big bug eyes and a giant forehead said,
I wanted to have relations with these girls and then
the judge said, I don't think he's that dangerous and
let him out two thousand dollars pond. Now he's got

(30:22):
to check in with the Department of Corrections, who cannot
follow him twenty four to seven. He's not even wearing
an ankle monitor. And so that's why Gretna Public School said,
in the area of the elementary school there one hundred
and ninety sixth and Q where he lives, might want
to use the buddy system. So let's say your kid
normally walks to school, even with a friend, past this

(30:45):
guy's house. What do you do as a father here
when the school says there's a dangerous person chasing kids
in our neighborhood. It was let out by a judge
here in our neighborhood. What would you as the father
do that morning. I'll tell you what your wife would do.
She be armed to the hill.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah, she'd have guns on each side, puts a bazooka
and an anti tank shoulder filed shoulder, you know, position
missile fier.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
She'd have AMMO strapped to her chest like.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Right, you know, this is very scary for those folks there,
and uh, the cops gotta find this guy.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Uh, well they found it. Well, they got it. They've
got to put a you know, they gotta.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Put a fence around this guy because he cannot be
allowed to just wander up and down the streets harassing
a little girl.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
A judge here in our area feels differently. Now. The
police did catch this guy. They caught him in the
act of chasing down a couple of kids, and he
admitted I wanted to have sex with these kids.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Kids, children, not not young adults. Children, And uh, they
they they found the guy. They arrested the guy.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
The judge said, let him go, Yeah, he'll he'll see
a courtroom later in the meantime, we'll let him out.
He was assigned a very low risk. The risk score
out of a possible four four being bl Z above one.
Apparently is this guy. He got a risk score of one.
I'm saying, all right, he's chasing down kids for the

(32:15):
purpose of attacking them. What's it take to get a two?
I guess you actually have to attack them, then what's
it take to get a three? I don't know if
I want to have if I want to follow this through.
But a judge apparently saw this and does this judge
not have kids. I don't know who the judge is. Hm.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
You know, we've had a lot of questions in the
last week and a half around here about judges, about courtrooms,
about laws, about what judges can and can't interpret, what
range do they have in making decisions, And it all
goes back to laws. I think Scott and now, I

(32:56):
don't know the specific law here, what protects this guy
why he's still walking around and not locked up? But
I still believe most judges in Nebraska will say, Okay,
I can't really do anything because this is the law.
I don't know that that's the case here because I
don't know the laws. But that was the case with

(33:17):
Niami Guzman. She really was benefiting or she did benefit
from very lax laws involving the mentally ill. I think
this guy is mentally ill too, just from what we know.
So what's he doing living by himself there?

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah? What's he do? What does he do all day?
You could ask the same questions of Noami Guzman, who
was in the Walmart parking lot with a three year
old kid, not hers, and a knife before police had
to take her out. In both instances, here's someone who's
dangerous and criminally insane, and they're just out walking around.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
It's a legal thing. And that's what I learned from
last week. Because again I'm not a lawyer. We just
we comment on the passing parade. This is what we see,
and we talk about it. If there's more to it,
we learn about it later. In this case, our laws
in our state, coupled with federal medicaid disbursements, have made

(34:16):
it very difficult to house mentally ill people. We don't
have the facilities anymore. In the nineteen seventies and eighties,
we closed all of them because they were so inhumane.
Let's just let them walk around. In some cases we
locked them up, and they probably shouldn't have been locked up,
but they were because they were on the streets. And

(34:36):
if you talk to Aaron Hanson or anybody in the
law enforcement community, they'll say, we have criminals sleeping under
bridges in Omaha.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Now, they may be petty criminals, but a criminal is
a criminal, and either we keep them from committing crimes
or we let them get away with it, which case
they'll try to get away with a little more next week.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
I can appreciate that a judge says Hey, the legislature
kind of tied my hand. But why are we hearing
about that after the fact. Why isn't there a convoy
of judges heading down to the unicamer banging the gavel
there saying this is what you got to do. Something
here have done. You've tied my hands, and now because
of that, here are all the different stories that are

(35:16):
in the news because of your inactivity on this batter.
But no one does that. Well, maybe we're entrusting these
people to protect our kids and they're not doing it.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Look, I don't want to give a break to a
bad judge, and I'm not suggesting these are bad judges.
Some of them probably are, but that's on a case
by case. They may say it's inappropriate for me to
prejudge a case before it happens. By advocating, I would
tell you that the better, the better route, and I

(35:47):
think this has happened, is to go to state senators
privately and say you need to know this is what
the situation is in my courtroom. And Catherine Kauf put
together a bill that was in committee this past session
and state Senator from Omaha to try to tighten the
grip on some of this and it didn't get out
of committee this year.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Maybe she'll bring it back next year.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Maybe this issue with the MS Guzman and now this
guy in Gretna, Thankfully, so far we don't think he's
assaulted anybody will sort of get people fired up enough
to say do something about this.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Well, I'm glad you reminded me about our good friends
at the Nebraska Unicaramel because and I think Jim that
we are going to miss Nebraska State Senator Megan Hunt
from being in the unicameral. She's very entertaining. I do
like her politically, we don't see eye to eye on
a whole heck of a lot, but she is exactly

(36:42):
what she campaigns as and then she goes to the
unicameral and does exactly that. I have more use for
someone like that than someone who says, yeah, you le
like me, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do and
then they don't do any of that stuff. Well, she's
still on Twitter, and she passed this along over the weekend.
She didn't run this, but she forwarded it, reposted it

(37:02):
on ex Twitter. Someone posted it's a pandemic. The story
is by twenty twenty. Their pardon me by twenty thirty
and estimated forty five percent of women aged twenty five
to forty four will be single and child free. The
poster says women don't owe children to a world that

(37:25):
hates them and is actively curbing their body autonomy rights.
Reposted by Megan Hunt, it sounds like the reason why
these women either are not now or won't in the
future have children is because they might have girls who
would then not be able to have an abortion later
in life. And after all, you remember, you know, it

(37:46):
was a long time ago for yours mine as well.
When that the very first moment when your wife gives birth,
the doctor says, congratulations, dad, it's a boy. It's a girl,
And you cut the umbilical cord and you're looking at
this thing, going wow. I hope someday she has a
chance for body autonomy. And this is I don't even want.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
To what can I do to ensure that she has
complete autonoe over her?

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Even my level of sarcasm won't let me joke about
such an ugly thing. But apparently this is why women
aren't having babies.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Oh, you just have to consider the source. I have
respect for Megan. I think she's an intellectual, but she
politically is way way far left of what most Nebraskans
and most frankly, most Americans believe. But she represents a
district that shares many of her views, and that is
the essence of our republican form of government. We send

(38:40):
people there to represent us. She has given voice to
a very very small minority of people, but she believes
they deserve one. And if anybody believes, in their heart
of hearts that the people of Nebraska believe like Megan Hunt,
they're just wrong.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
They don't.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
But there is a small, small percon of people who do.
And she and Mikayla Kavanaugh, and to a lesser extent,
Daniel Conrad and Jane Raybold, that's the Nebraska squad in
the unicamer at least parts of it. They believe that
even though these are fringe thinkers who share social and
political views that do not match a vast, vast majority

(39:20):
of Nebraskans, we're giving them voice because if we weren't here,
they'd have none. And in the Republican form of government,
everybody should have at least one voice.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
Sure, but the voice using that voice to say women
aren't going to have kids because those daughters wouldn't be
able to have an abortion. She's not this is really
what they believe.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
She's nuts about it, but some people that she represents actually.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
Do think that way. We have had several messages come
in over the last couple of hours into the talkback
mic on all the things we've talked about. Let's see
if i can remember what we've talked about. I've been
barely listening. Oh yeah, so we got this one on
the What would you do as a pair of if
you got the message from Gretta Schools? As Craig just
told you in the news update, that a guy who

(40:05):
was chasing around an eleven year old girl and a
twelve year old girl at a park on Thursday afternoon
near one hundred and ninety sixth and Q, who was
then arrested by the police. He told the police, why
are you chasing these girls? He says, I was going
to have sex with them. He's thirty four years old.
He's got crazy big mac eyeballs and a five head.

(40:28):
And if you're offended that I'm making fun of how
he looks. Remember, we're talking about a guy who's out
there chasing around girls in the park for the purpose
of attacking them, and then a judge. I don't know
which judge. I've got two or three different judges here.
It could be. I don't know yet. I'm not going
to throw any of them out at this time. A
judge assigned him a risk score of one out of

(40:50):
four and that's just pre trial supervision check in with
someone from the Douglas County Department of Corrections. He bonded
out on two thousand dollars cash. He's right there. They're
back in the neighborhood next to this elementary school, and
the school said, hey, have your kids use the Buddy
system on the way to school in the meantime. Here
is one of the messages from the talkback Mike, Yeah, another.

Speaker 6 (41:10):
Real good buddy for the Buddy system. A nine millimeter
or a forty five if you choose. Those are real
good buddies and they did the job.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
I don't know if you want to give that to
your third grader on the way out the door, but
you know, mom or Dad could walk with him, and
it's up to you as to your level of wanting
to carry. We also talked about the renovations at Memorial
Stadium and Jim Rose said, we got to renovate Memorial Stadium.
It's more than just football games. We got to do

(41:43):
stuff like the Zach Bryant concert this Saturday night, lots
of other things there.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Well, I don't think we gotta do anything, but this
is what they want to do, and this is why
they're doing it.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
Well, here's a great idea. Something else we could do
at Memorial Stadium.

Speaker 7 (41:57):
Here's an idea for revenue generating idea. Put in a
zipline that goes from the north end zone to the
south end zone and that way all of the fans
can relive the Matt Rules zipline in Vegas backwards hat optional.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
Why are people so down on that zipline thing.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
At the full game, Well, they're down on a guy
who's nineteen and nineteen after three years, I guess.

Speaker 5 (42:23):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
The same guy who prior to the Cincinnati game said
this is a damn good football team. We were that
this is the guy this is now They were sitting
the zone the game all season.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
Yeah he did, Yeah he did.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
This is the guy who took off for the Bud
Crawford fight after the Michigan game. This is the guy
who anyway if you either like him or you don't.
He hasn't delivered so far, and he's got a sixty
five million dollar buyout that has a lot of Husker
fans charged up.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
One more from the talkback Mike.

Speaker 8 (42:56):
Good morning, Happy for twenty. It's four twenty again, man,
everybody just chill out, dude, it's four.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
Twenty, yes, and happy for twenty to you. They'd like
to know what's in your four twenty. You can't smoke
pot on four to twenty day all day unless you
start in the morning. Thanks for starting with us here
on eleven ten, Kfab, We've been talking all morning about
this guy who on Thursday afternoon chased a couple of
girls in eleven and twelve year old at a park

(43:31):
near one hundred ninety sixth and Q. The judge let
him out. I don't know which judge I got it
narrowed down to two names, and I don't know which one.
So if I don't know for sure, not gonna malign
someone's character unnecessarily. I'll let Jim Rose or somebody else
do that. But I got this email from a neighbor
of the guy who has been let out and is

(43:53):
back in his house. And this neighbor says, I have
two kids live in this neighborhood. At this creep has
been running around chasing kids in. Every parent is on
high alert, paying great attention to the movements of this guy.
His address has been posted and people are making him
feel unwelcome. See my picture below. It looks to me

(44:17):
that someone has probably spray painted a message on the
side of his house and on his fence. And he
lives on a corner lot, so that's a long fence
down the line there. Because there's big black I don't know,
tarp or spray paint or whatever there, So it looks
like maybe that has happened in that neighborhood. I don't

(44:39):
like that. That's property destruction.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
That's not how you deal with these kinds of folks
by destroying property.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
Bad move. Can't be doing that, I'd say, on these
scales of justice, this is the lesser of the accusations.
But I do have to agree with you. That's also
a that's a yacht move right there. You got a
problem with this guy, go tell him, yeah, you take
watch someone stand out in the sidewalking as he's coming out.

(45:09):
I just go, hey, what are you doing? Let's knock
this off. I'm about to be your best friend. What
are you doing today? You know? And I'm not saying
assault or kill the guy or anything like that, but
if someone wants to keep a watch on him, apparently
the neighbors know where he is. I don't imagine he
lives there by himself. I would imagine. And this is
part of the sad reality, the same thing as what

(45:31):
happened with this lady at the Walmart parking lot. This
is an adult who probably lives with adult parents who've
been saying we've been trying to do something for years
and we don't know what to do. And the guy
got out, there's chasing around these kids or what. I
wouldn't be surprised if that's the case. So now these
parents are like, well, great, you know, we've got messages

(45:52):
on the side of the house. It's probably their house,
not his. Oh yeah, I mean, this guy didn't have
two thousand dollars bond out.

Speaker 5 (46:00):
You know.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
The irony, of course, is Scott that more and more
Americans think, you know, family should be taking care of
these people, not the state, you know, not the taxpayers,
but family. And then some do they say, okay, you know,
you're right. We need to take these guys in. We
need to care for them, either out of our own
pocket or apply for some sort of public assistance. But

(46:23):
at least we're housing them, and they get persecuted for that.
It's a terrible social problem. Well only if you don't
threat Well yeah, but I don't know where we go
with this. The state of Nebraska is seven hundred and
twenty million in the whole starting January first, as of today.
Where's the money to expand mental.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
Health in Nebraska? Right now? Show me, you know, please
help me out. That's a good question. Also good to
point out that if if this were a dog, a
dangerous dog chasing around these kids in the park, the
dog would be dealt with. If it's a human, the
human is not dealt with. That is as big good problem.
Stocks are just down a little bit, here, oils up

(47:03):
a little bit. Everyone can kind of wait and see mode,
And frankly, it's no different than where we've been here.
I mean, we blow some stuff up, then we say,
all right, we're not gonna blow stuff up. But if
they don't come to the table, we're blowing everything up.
And it seems like we've kind of been in on
that seesaw now for several weeks, there has been some
action in the Middle East. Yesterday, the President posted on

(47:26):
his true social yesterday afternoon said an Iran flagged cargo
ship named Tusca, nearly nine hundred feet long, weighing almost
as much as an aircraft carrier, tried to get past
our naval blockade and it did not go well for them.
The US Navy guided missile destroyer, the USS Spronts, intercepted

(47:49):
the Tosca in the Gulf of Oman and gave them
fair warning to stop. The Iranian crew refused to listen,
so our navy ship stopped them right in their tracks
by blowing a hole in their engine room. The US
Marines have custody of the vessel. It's under US Treasury
sanctions because of their prior history of illegal activity. We

(48:11):
have full custody of the ship, and we're checking to
see what's on board. That's President Trump yesterday, who then
later said, if Iran doesn't get the onto the table
here and get to this deal and again no nuclear weapons,
let the ships through the straight to horn moves, then
let's see here. Quote, we're offering a very fair and

(48:32):
reasonable deal, and I hope they take it because if
they don't, the United States is going to knock out
every single power plant and every single bridge in Iran.
No more, mister nice guy. They'll come down fast, they'll
come down easy. If they don't take the deal. It'll
be my honor to do what has to be done.
It's time for the Iran killing machine to end. Sign
President Donald J. Trump.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Okay, got it. That's so ambiguous. That's that's hard to
be confused about. What I don't understand a couple of
things about the whole war and are Iran that I
don't quite get. The straits of horror moves are closed
by us. They say they closed it. We say it
was closed before you said you closed it, because we've

(49:15):
got a whole fleet of ships over there blocking it.
And they're saying, we cannot risk having Iranians shoot at
tankers or other important ships of trade, or we can't
have the little boats that are filled with explosives zip
toward one of those tankers and blow it up and
sink the tanker and cause all sorts of mayhem. Maybe

(49:36):
they thought of this, and maybe it's not a good move.
I say, dispatch ten of those AH sixty four Apache
helicopters and just fly along the coast with your radar,
and if you see one of those little boats taken
off from one of those Iranian ports, just shoot it out.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
Of the water. Why don't our friends in France or
the United Kingdom field the same way? Because Iran, as
President Trump so eloquently put it, decided to fire bullets
yesterday in the straight of horror moves, total violation of
our ceasefire agreement. Many of them were aimed at a
French ship and a freighter from the United Kingdom. That

(50:12):
wasn't nice, was it? That was what President Trump said?
So how come France, the United Kingdom they're not helping
to patrol to protect their ships as well? What are
they doing sailing toward the open waters? And if somebody
is shooting at these boats, whether it's a twenty two
caliber pistol or a howitzer, why is it that we

(50:32):
don't have a drone or like I said, an AH
sixty four Apache helicopter, which is one dangerous airship. I
might add, yeah, not just flying a log taking out
that shooter. Well, I don't want to be all bad
news here. Today. I've got a great story that started
off as a horrible story. It was April seventh in
Paul's Valley High School in Oklahoma. Former student tries to

(50:56):
get into the school. He's got a couple of guns.
He ordered people to the fly and tried to shoot
at students. Thankfully, his weapon malfunction. Surveillance video showed an
individual rush at this shooter, got shot in the leg,
charging the suspect and disarming him. And this past Saturday night,

(51:17):
the person who protected those students was named prom king.
Here's how it sounded at prom from the DJ on
the microphone. Okay, students are going crazy. That is your
prom king at Paul's Valley School in Oklahoma. Kirk Moore?

(51:41):
Who was Kirk Moore? He's the principal of the high school.
Very cool.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
My question is if the gun was malfunctioning, how did
the principal get shot?

Speaker 1 (51:53):
He had two guns. Yeah, one of them bug managed
to go off and shoot the principal, who looks to
be sixty something guy, and decided to try and protect
the students and rush after this shooter. Which you hate
the idea that any students educator's principals anyone students, anyone

(52:16):
would ever be in that situation. But I'm sure all
of these professionals have thought, if I'm ever in this situation,
what am I going to do? Maybe this guy didn't think.
He just rushed in there, he got shot, and the
students decided to name their principal prom king this past
Saturday night. That is that is very very cool.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
He wakes up images of Dan Marberger, the principal over
in Iowa who took down the shooter lost his life
doing so when that shooter attacked that Iowa high school
a year and a half or so ago.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
Yeah, it's you know, usually the prom king is someone
like Jim Rose. You know, I was a thrapping coopular.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
Every year, said how do we topple that guy?

Speaker 1 (53:01):
Yeah, very very cool scene there, And I hope if
your kid had problem over the weekend that they had
a nice time. I was down in Kansas City and
my son and I went to a restaurant forgetting that
it's prom season, forty five minutes for a table. We
found some other things to do because we wanted to
eat there, and they were all all all the patrons

(53:22):
were there wearing their fancy suits, and their prom dresses
and all the rest of it. And good for them.
Everyone had a fun and safe a prom night full
of memories that they might take turns regretting and not
regretting for the rest of their lives.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Let's hope that none of you parents out there become
grandparents in the next nine months.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
And I'll see that's exactly the kind of thing I'm
trying not to say. Now, do sophomore? Is your kids
a sophomore? Do they go to proms? Only if an
upperclassman asks him? No, he is, He got a wait
till next year. He's got to wait. He doesn't care.
He like, Hey, is is prom in the gym? Can
I shoot hoops of prompt? That's all my son thinks.

(54:03):
The only guy I know during the prom, Dad's would
be shooting hoops.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
They're shooting hoops. Hey, get out of the way. It's
the three line. You're on the three line.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
Girlfriends just sitting there at the punch bowl is what's
your what's your boyfriend doing? It's just shooting. If you're
gonna be on the line, guard me On four to
twenty day, which our friends in the talk back Mike
continue to remind us of in various ways on.

Speaker 9 (54:25):
The road again, Snoop, and we can't wait to get
stoned again. The life we love is blowing smoke up
Scott's we Wren and we can't wait to get on
the road again with him here on the road again,
going places that Scott's never been, seeing things just like
at Burning Man, And we can't wait to get on

(54:48):
the road again with lovely Lucy and tow.

Speaker 1 (54:51):
We go down then go on a while here. Thank
you very much for that. That's lovely and uh one
more here in the talk back Mike. That kind of
sets up the Rosie Diginozi this morning.

Speaker 10 (55:06):
Hey, Scott, I had to comment on this one. Rosie
was just talking about this mental health crisis and we
don't have the money and we're seven hundred and some
million in the whole and blah blah blah. After we
spend hours and hours every single morning, sports broadcast, sports news,
sports updates, hundreds of millions of dollars, if not billions
of dollars, stadium upgrades, player salaries, and I owe money,

(55:27):
blah blah blah. But let's have all these nutcases go
kill people and rape little kids.

Speaker 8 (55:32):
Priorities, people take care.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
I know sure what the solution in that rant was.
I think what he's saying is take the money away
from what we're paying athletes and on Memorial Stadium upgrades
and we just build this could be an upgrade from
Memorial Stadium. He's turning into a giant mental health asylum
and you keep people there.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
Okay, we want serious solutions on this program, except during
the Scott Vorheest program when sarcasm prevails.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
Well yeah, to follow that through though, you could charge admission.
People go in there and set up games for them
to play and have competition, and they probably still beat
the corn Huskers. Well stop that
