Hong Polls Were Wong

We have a big shock in Wisconsin, a strong storm actively moving through Omaha, a state education board called a bunch of racists, a WNBA coach getting all fired up, and a lot more today!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, and thank you so much for braving the
elements with us, whether that be the storm moving through
the area this morning, barage of news updates, or anything I.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Say that might upset you. Glad to have you here.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
This is Nebraska's morning News News Radio eleven to ten
kfab with Craig Evans, Courtney Donahoe, Lucy Chapman, and Jim Rose.
As far as the political news go, there was one
big winner yesterday across all the different primaries and all
the talk that went into him, there was one big
winner that I saw in all these primaries.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
It wasn't Mike Lindell.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
It was.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Enough to eat turkey.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
It was Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving wins in Wisconsin.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
To key, I love you.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Thank you, Adam.

Speaker 5 (01:00):
The Democratic Socialist candidate, the Francesca Hong, who came out
solidly against Thanksgiving, was defeated yesterday.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
So good.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
The turkey is safe.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yes, because you know what would happen there if she won.
They would just shut down the entire holiday of Thanksgiving.
There would be no turkey, there would be no stuffing, gravy,
cranberry sauce, no Dallas Cowboys or Detroit Lions football. There
would be none of it. So who is this guy,

(01:38):
David Crowley? He's more of the Democratic establishment. Well that's
no fun. You know how this pattern works, Right, Every Wednesday,
we have to identify a new Democratic socialist who was
on the ballot in some state or some congressional district
or a senator governor's raised the primary coming up on Tuesday,

(01:59):
and we have to spend the next six days figuring
out who is this person? Why do I hate them?
What did they tweet eight years ago that we can
use against them? And then they win and we go, ah,
now we gotta hate them until November. And then this
Francesca Hong, she was supposed to be the one to
be the Democratic candidate for governor Wisconsin, so we could

(02:23):
hate her until November, and then she she lost. She
lost to a Democratic establishment. I didn't know anyone was
voting for the Democratic establishment anymore. Jim Rows who dropped
out of the race. They had to find the guy
at home, like, yeah, oh shoot, I should have even
I should have voted today. I guess he dropped out.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Of the race a couple of months ago, said you know,
I just don't see my way forward to winning this nomination,
and The governor, sensing genuine panic with Miss Hong rising
in the polls, went back to him and said, look,
you got to get back in. I don't want to
go back. You gotta get back on. I get home
with you guys. I like being the county administrator from Milwaukee.

(03:04):
It's his soft job. Nobody cares. I get paid. There's
a pension. I don't want to get out there and campaign.
Go up to Kenosha and Wabashaw and Sheboygan and all
these other places. Leave me alone. They convinced him to
get back in, and he won by three thousand votes.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
The New York Times says past statements about the defunding
of police, abolishing ice and the abolishment of Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
And the seventeen percent state income.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Tax and raising taxes and getting turkey and stuffing off
your plate in November may have come back to haunt her.
Bernie Sanders and AOC and this Hassan piker guy, they
all came out and said, you got a vote for
Francesca Hank And I'm looking at this this woman and
they said, oh this this woman's devil incarnate.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
She's just the absolute worst.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
And I'm looking at her, going ah, she looks nice,
she's she looks fun.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
She's a loser, Okay, she is. Well, this is this
is the classic. This is the classic profile of the
DSA candidate. They've never done anything in their lives. She
was a she was a chef for a while. Well
that's something, okay, but she liked she she didn't stick
around very long. It's just like aoc. She was a bartender. Okay,

(04:24):
These people like bartenders. Accomplished anything that's an accomplishment. And
it's a shame that this continues to happen for the
Democrat party because there are good people in that party,
accomplished people in that party.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Well then people look at who didn't advance in Minnesota
and who did advance in South Carolina and say, well
what about these levels of a.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Jim, Minnesota is in a very very funky place. All well,
I don't get it, Jim, that's a broadcast. Tease. That
is a broadcast. Talk about that in a moment.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Francesco Hong, the DSA candidate that everyone said she's the
worst thing ever. I'm like, she looks cute, she looks
she looks sweet, she looks like a bug eyed freak.
What are you talking about it. I like bug eyed freaks.
She lost in Wisconsin, but Mike Lindell got trounced in Minnesota.
This is the my pillow guy who Trump said, go

(05:15):
out and vote for Mike. He's a great patriot.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
They Trump did that out of loyalty to him, because
he took the hits during the election fraud discussion.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
He finishes a distant second to the state House speaker
up there, Lisa Dumouth. She'll take on or take on
Senator Amy Klobuchar in November.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
She's leaving the Senate to become governor. Peggy Uh. She's
the one Peggy. This is the lieutenant governor who won
the Democrat nomination for the US Senate to replace Clobachar
up in Minnesota. Peggy Flanagin is her name. She's the
lieutenant governor. She was sitting right there when Tampon Tim

(05:58):
watched everything in Minnesota. She is a DSA. She says,
defund ice, defund police, Medicare for all, daycare for all.
We don't spend enough tax money. We're not getting enough
tax money. So this to me puts Minnesota in play. Yes,
it is the People's Republic of Minnesota. Yes, it is

(06:19):
overrun with a whole bunch of people voting who want
something from the government, especially the Twin Cities. But Michelle Tafoya,
the sportscaster from NBC, is the Republican nominee for the
United States Senate up there. This is an articulate, thoughtful,
smart young woman and there's no doubt in my mind

(06:40):
that she is going to make this a very, very
competitive race. She from the very beginning, when she announced
her plan to become a senator back in January, said
this is about fraud. This is about rooting out fraud
in our government, ensuring that people who pay taxes can
be confident that their tax money will go to only

(07:01):
things in people who need it. So she has used
the nine billion dollar fraud disaster, disgrace, embarrassment in the
state of Minnesota as the foundation of her campaign. And
I gotta tell you, as liberal as they are up there,
and there are many who are, there are many who aren't,
but there are many who are. They have to look
at this and say, we can't keep putting the same

(07:23):
people in these jobs and expect a different result. And
Peggy Flanagan was the Lieutenant governor under Tim Walls, who
might be the worst governor in the entire country. And
she she just sat right there as it all happened. Well,
they love him up there. We'll see who love him.
The Minnesota they don't love him. They loved him he'd

(07:44):
be running for reelection. That guy will be asked to
leave as soon as his term is up. They're going
to say, can we help you pack? But his wife's
going to be the next governor of Nebraska. Right, so
people think Lynn Walls is Tim Walls's why distant cousin.
But only other poitical note is that Lindsey Graham's sister
advances for another week or two. There's a runoff on

(08:07):
August to twenty fifth. She and another guy were the
top two vote gets. Ralph normally he's not just another guy.
Well us Kierson, he calls her Queen Darling. Darlene Graham,
Queen Darling. We still could still replace her brother in
the US seven coronate. We don't coronate people here, and
that's Queen Darling.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Eleven to ten kfab Certified Transmission Sports Brief Now with
Jim Rose Okay.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Sky, good morning, everybody. Husker football is pretty bad. On
defense most of the season. Last year, those last three
games were embarrassing. So Matt Rule moves a few of
his deck chairs around and hires a bunch of new staff,
starting with a new defensive coordinator. Maybe this one will
work out, third one in four years, former star defensive
tackle Rob Aurrich, who comes from San Diego State.

Speaker 6 (08:49):
Obviously, right now we're through about six days of install.
One thing I've been really pleased with is we're not
always focused on rather the outcome of the play, but
our process of playing technique, executing defense. Really all loving
guys kind of lit in that what can improve, what
can improve what?

Speaker 2 (09:05):
What's what can they improve a lot. He wants his
team to be fast and violent and cause turnovers.

Speaker 6 (09:11):
We're tracking everything every day, so we haven't had any
live reps yet. Today today was probably our most physical day.
We just got the pads on. But turnover focus and
the way we generate them, they're worked every day through
our fundamental approach.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
That would be a switch. The Black Shirts have only
for US thirty two turnovers over the last two seasons.
Baseball scorers Kansas City Royals pushed the Dodgers to the
tenth inning, but that's winning ended swing time.

Speaker 7 (09:34):
This bark game is over fve drive right center, fair
base hit. Dodgers win it five to four to walk
off hit. Sixth time this year the Dodgers have walked
it off. Win numbers seventy two for the Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, that was Max Munsey who did the job. Freddie
Freeman tied it with a single in the eighth final,
again five to four. They're paying those two guys that
combined thirty seven million a year. They'd better deliver on
the board. In inter league play, it was the Reds
over the White Sox five to four in San Francisco,
beat Houston four to one. National League Padres eleven, Milwaukee two,
Rocky three, Dbacks two Cards two, Philadelphia nothing, Atlanta shut

(10:13):
out the Mets, Cubs beat the Nats, and the Marlins
beat Pittsburgh. In the America League, Tampa Bay twelve to
four over the A's, it was the Angels three to
two over the Rangers. Baltimore five, Twins two, Toronto five,
Bosox three, Yankees four, Seattle one, Detroit six, Cleveland four.
Back to football. As we told you last week, we
have seen the last of Tony Romo. On CBS, the

(10:35):
president of that network division, David Benson, admitted to reporters yesterday,
quote he is on indefinite leave after his DUI arrest,
and quote, we have to protect our brand. That is
the trigger on his morals clause, which is part of
his one hundred million dollar contract, which is the weapon
CBS we used to keep from paying him the remaining

(10:55):
seventy two million. He'll count her by saying his alcoholism
is a disease. He'll go to AA and his lawyers
will try to claw back some of the seventy two.
Jj Watt is now their number one NFL analyst with
Jim nantz Rhys Davis, one of ESPN's a smarter college
football commentator's hard working guy. He knows stuff, is making
predictions about the season. He says the Big Tens a

(11:17):
sleeper this year. Illinois Sports his news on Nebraska's News
WEATHERN traffic station well FKFA be Husker Info strongman Sean Callahan.
He'll talk a little bit about some players that really
need to make it happen for Nebraska this year. We'll
get his take on some of those and continue talking
about those this week with the first full scale scrimmage coming.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yesterday we talked about how the Nebraska State Board of Education.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Said, whoo, what is this?

Speaker 1 (11:43):
We don't know what the abolitionist teaching framework something that
says that punishment in school is racist, testing in school
is racist. We don't know what you guys are doing.
We have a state law in Nebraska.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
You know.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
The state law says you got to be churning out
kids who are good model citizens, patriots, you know, because
that's that's all that comes out of our schools, right
it's against the law not to We should lock up
a lot of these kids and teach it.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Anyway.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
It was just the other day the State Board of
Education said, we have taken a look at your platform
and your ideas for this the north Omaha All Girls
Middle School, and we don't think you should open up
this month. And then yesterday they came back and said,
but what if we didn't change anything and called you

(12:35):
guys racist for not allowing us to open. And the
State Board of Education looked at that defense and said, oh,
you know what, we hadn't considered it that way. Why
don't you guys go ahead and open because I don't
know that anything changed other than There were people that
came out from the school and the community and said
the Nebraska State Board of Education is racist, that they're

(12:56):
not allowing an all girls school in North Olmo that teaches,
that we need to get away from standardized tests and
punishment and the school classroom to prison pipeline that exists
when you punish kids in schools, which apparently only black
kids are being public. So they didn't change anything on

(13:18):
their platform. They just called the state Board racist. And
the state Board said, you know what, it's unanimous. You
guys can open up this month, they said, but it's conditional.
Watch it. Yeah, what are you going to do?

Speaker 2 (13:30):
I guess we're just a bunch of jack booted thugs,
knuckle dragon racist misogynists. We hate anybody done look like us.
I still wonder out loud, and I'm not being, you know,
jerk about this. What what does the State Board of
Education do other than set standards, minimum standards, and if
the school doesn't meet the standards, what happens. It takes

(13:50):
forever for anything to happen, because these schools are governed
by local boards of education and they are funded most
exclusively by local proper pretty taxes. Now we do have
a you know, equalization formula that sends x amount of
money to some school districts, But a lot of school
districts don't get any equalization money from the state. Now

(14:11):
ops happens to be one that does. But I wonder
out loud, why do we have a state board of Education?
And again, I'm seeking information here, I'm not just trying
to be sarcastic and facetious. Please walk me through the
value of this organization if they make pronouncements as they
did and then just back down from them a couple
of days later.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Well, one of the great person who throws out the
darts of your racists, your racist is now the person
who sits in Ernie Chambers, a long time Nebraska unicameral seat.
That's Nebraska State Senator Terrell McKinney in north Omaha. And
he said at this meeting yesterday, the conversation about the

(14:52):
abolitionist language, people weaponize words to fit their own narrative
to how they feel about that like this, and that's
what's disappointing. I looked up on their paperwork what abolitionist
teaching framework is, and by all accounts, it's punishment and

(15:15):
tests are racist now there are parents who are I
mean the school can open up, and apparently they are.
Their academy is set to open up on August nineteenth,
so we got a week until they start their school year.
At school can open up, parents have to decide whether
they send their girls there. Here's a question for you.

(15:36):
Are white girls allowed to go to the school? Are
Hispanic girls allowed to go? Our Asian girls? Are Inuit girls?
Is this only four black girls in north Omaha? That's
I think a fair question. Of course, someone's gonna and
I think I already got an email from a guy
says how long is it going to be before guys
are trying to.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Get in there? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (15:56):
If Enniscanter Freedom and Royce White, who are trying to
get into the w NBA former NBA players, say I
identify as a fourth grade black girl I would like
to go to the school, then is their hand force
I don't know. We'll call that ridiculous right now and
wait for it to come true.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Well, that's dry sarcasm, given that they say we only
identify as a girl when it comes to sports.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
And don't say I'm being racist by wondering if white
girls are allowed to go to the school. Here's another
quote from State Senator McKinney when he was calling the
board members racist. He says, individuals on the board, I
assume feel some type of way about young black girls
being educated by black women in our community. So it

(16:46):
sounds like you must. There's a color bar there on
the door of the school, and you know, and on
the lighter end is Michael Jackson at the end of
his life, and the darker end is Michael Jackson at
the start of us career. And somewhere in the middle
is like, you must be this black to get into
this school.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
No reason to bring race into this. I'm ed.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
We got enough problems as it is. Thank you, Buttermaker.
But Terrell McKinney is the one that is doing this.
He says, they're telling these girls about their true history
and not a fabricated history and a true understanding of self.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
They're true history. These girls are ten. So we're going
to go back to the sixteen nineteen project again. We've
justed that sixteen ninety sixteen eight, it was whenever year
it was we first brought slaves over here. Yeah, these
girls are towing back to that. Apparently, these girls in
Omaha at age ten have been adversely affected by what
happened in the fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth century.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Yes, the systemic racism of the last nine years for
these fourth grade girls is what we got to battle against.
So the state born of Education said, whoa, we don't
want to be called races. Okay, you're going to open
your school. They didn't change anything they other than you
got people like stay Center McKinny calling the board members racist.

Speaker 8 (18:02):
And Arkansas High School says one of its football players
was it team practice for nearly an hour last week
before we felt something moving around inside his helmet and
discovered a snake, a two foot long, venomous cotton mouth,
hiding beneath the padding. After the discovery, the local animal
shelter posted a noticing before putting on your helmet, always
give it a quick check first. I'm Craig Evans More

(18:24):
News at the top of the hour at news Radio
eleven ten.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Can't a baby, You might think, how would a kid
put on a football helmet and not know there's a
cotton mouth in there? Well, in those football helmets there's
a lot of pads and areas for the snake to
kind of work its way in there and get up
and hide and not be directly against your head.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
How did the snake get into the helmet? Well, you know.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
You'd take it off, you throw it on the ground.
You're over there having a meeting on the ground. Well,
our coach never let our helmets touch the ground. But
I don't know how they do things. That wasn't a
baby one, that was a big one. Have been in
the kids locker and the snake is like, hey, this
is just a good place to crash for the night.
Maybe the snake had too much to drink, wandered this
way in there. Maybe it'd be a good motivator for

(19:10):
the black shirts.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Let's put snakes in their helmets.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Eleven ten kfab certified transmission Sports Free Huskar Buzz edition
with Sean Callahan live and Lincoln and Jim Rose right here.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
All right, Seanna, how you doing?

Speaker 4 (19:24):
Do?

Speaker 9 (19:24):
Good? Good morning, gentlemen.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Do you ever have a snake in your helmet when
you were playing for the Gross Hide Cougars? No?

Speaker 9 (19:29):
I do remember that scene from a Rachmophobia the movie
whereas Spider got inside the kid's helmet and he takes
a big shot in the football field, and they think
he goes down because of the hit and it will
Spider bit him and kill them.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Okay, well nothing like football football season, called John Goodman. Yeah,
all right, let's visit about some players. There's a couple
of guys out there. A lot of people are wondering
whether they're ever going to turn out or how good
are they? What's their status? And I want to ask
you about a couple of those guys. You're on top
of everybody. What is the deal with Justin Rhett? This

(20:03):
was the Georgia transfer. Is this guy gonna be a
key factor at safety this year?

Speaker 9 (20:10):
I still when I look at that group, I still
think he might be on the outside looking in. I
mean he's still right there. But remember Rex got three
is now back. Joyne McDougall was brought in as a
starter that was at San Diego State. You have Jamir Kahan.
I mean those are kind of the three main safeties.
When I like look at then Caleb Benning and Justin Rhett.

(20:32):
I mean, so you've got four or five guys that
can play there and they've all been repping. It's early
in camp, but yeah, the talent's there. Last agus Bishop
Gorman kid that went to Georgia. But yeah, you know,
as far as winning the job, it remains to be
seen because you have now last year starter healthy and

(20:52):
then a new coach and the coordinator. Then obviously he
brought one of his starters with him and Joyne McDougall.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Now, what about Jason Shiggs? Is he a factor?

Speaker 9 (21:01):
Yeah, he'd be in that conversation too. You know, he
was kind of under the radar portal addition, so it's
really hard to say where he kind of fits in
at this point. But you know, they brought him in.
You know, it was not by any means like a
big money ad, more of a depth piece ad that

(21:22):
they brought in. But you know, special teams probably could
be an option too for some of these guys.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Now, the running back room I think is still a
big question mark. I don't think they're going to be
running the ball a lot anyway, but you do have
to have a feature back and I don't know how
you replace Emma Johnson's versatility. Who do you think is
going to emerge out of that room?

Speaker 9 (21:41):
Well, you got to look at it like this way.
There's probably gonna be about thirty five touches in a
game for the Backs, whether it's on the ground or
through the air, air maybe forty. I mean last year
they were blessed enough with Emma Johnson that he could
take ninety percent of those touches. And they don't have
obviously somebody of that caliber at least right now. I mean,
I still think Mkaian Nelson and Isaiah Mosey and Jamal Rule,

(22:03):
that combination, it will just split that up. And you know,
Mkaian Nelson looks really good physically when you see him
from say a year ago. Mosey has had a great offseason.
They loved Jamal Rule. Tykey Hayes is kind of a
wild card coming in late from Penn State from Iowa
Western where he kind of fits. He's the one guy
that could really shake that conversation up. The nice thing

(22:26):
is they have those first three games where they're gonna
be heavy favorites at home or ideally you can kind
of let that room figure itself out.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Do you think Quinton Ives We've seen the best of
Quinton Ives yet.

Speaker 9 (22:39):
Yeah, I just don't put him up. I mean, I
think those first four guys are ahead of him, so
he's probably your fifth option down. He does not have
like that that second gear of speed. If you remember
last year, we got to see him play more in
the Houston Christian game because Mkaian Nelson was suspended and
you know, he had some kind of what we're you know,

(23:00):
breakaway runs at any back on the team would have
gotten because of the discrepancy of talent, and he just
didn't look fluid and good running in the open where
Kain Nelson they would have been easy touchdowns. So I
think he does some good things, but he doesn't have
that speed to kind of break away and and and
do some of the things maybe the other guys can do.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
When you throw a Mere Brown into the mix, that's
six scholarship running backs? Is that too many? Who a
mere next year? When you throw a Mere Brown in there?
And you know, do you.

Speaker 9 (23:32):
Connor Well, Connor Booth's in that conversation as well, But no,
you want to have options. I think when you when
you look at that group, you want a number of
options in there. And you know that top four is
pretty good. I mean, I think that's a really solid
group of four backs. I mean Mosey and the guy

(23:53):
they just brought in, Tyke Hayes from Penn State, I
mean know, those two guys are our former four star guys,
and then you know you get down the line of
Mikai Nelson being you know, it's it's a solid group
of backs. They've just got to let kind of figure
out how they want to rotate them and play them
here in the games.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
All right, So what's ahead this week?

Speaker 9 (24:13):
Well, they will practice today and then Tomorrow is an
off day, and then they'll come back Friday and Saturday
and they'll scrimmage probably Saturday. So today I believe is
their last day in the dorms before the players move
out of the dorms. But yeah, camp's moving along. The
heat is here. They've they've kind of been practicing at
different times.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Oh, I'll Eric, Well, there you have the gist of it.
We're going to have a scrimmage on Saturday. Said that
we lost to Shattle there to ye, sorry we lost
shant of technology. He'll be back to recap you know
what happened today and get some more insight on some
players when we talk on Friday.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Let's look at this story though, because I sympathize with
the people who were on Air Force one that were
used as a decoy with the last month, the Secretary
of State, heading out of the G eight summit, President
Trump goes up the gang playing plank or whatever they
call the steps.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah, he goes up there, he.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Waves, everyone gets on Air Force one, and then they
do the thing where he goes out in the catering
cart or whatever he's Can you imagine Donald Trump crouched down.
He's got like a towel over him or whatever he's got.
He's surrounded by bowls of oranges and silverware, little packets
of nuts. They sneak They sneak him out, little packets

(25:41):
of nuts. Uh, they sneak him out with the caterers.
It's it's that old trick. And so he then he
leaves in a truck. He gets on another plane, which
technically is Air Force one. Yes, that's correct, but that's
neither here nor there. It's a true transport plane.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
He's in the back, he's strapped up against the wall
with all these other guys in uniform.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
He has everyone believing he's on this plane. He sneaks out,
he gets on another plane, and left on the first
plane would be members of the media and members of
the president's cabinets.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Building.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
The Secretary of State Secret Service, and you know, people
on the airplane. And they did this because we had
a credible threat that Iran was going to blow the
plane out of the air and so that's why the
President wasn't on the plane, but everyone else was. So
now you're Jim Rose covering the president's trip to the
G eight summit for news radio eleven ten KFAB and

(26:33):
you find out later So wait a second, I was
on the decoy plane. How do you feel.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
I lot to know how they were able to couch that. So, yeah,
just as you described to, the president gets on and
then the catering truck on the other side of the plane,
you know that has those risers so it can go
up to the door level. You know, that's when they
unload the little packets of peanuts and the cookie and
all that that stuff that you used pay five hundred
dollars to get when you buy an airplane ticket. And

(26:59):
he gets on the caitering vehicle and then it goes
back down to street level and they drive him off
and he goes to London on a different plane and
then gets on the real plane in London. Well, I'd
like to know did they tell people while they were
in the air. You need to know that there might
be one hootie out there with a shoulder fire missile

(27:19):
launcher that is shooting at this airplane. The other thing
they did say is keep the shade of your window down. Really,
he did tell those members of the media before he
got off the plane and got on the catering truck,
keep the shade of your window down. He didn't seem
to troubled by it. I'm sure he probably was at
the time, and not necessarily. And I know a lot

(27:41):
of people think Donald Trump is a schmuck and he
just only cares about himself. He was visibly shaken by
it because of the people that were still on the plane,
including Marco Rubio and other members of his staff. He
got off because he's the president. But if they did
fire a shoulder fired launcher missile at the plane and
hit it, all those people are gonna die, and if

(28:02):
it's up in the air any measurable amount, they're gonna die.
So I had to tell you, I don't know if
we discussed this off the air before he was over there.
I can't believe that the Secret Service was confident they'd
be able to keep him safe. Traveling that far away
from the country into a foreign country where they are

(28:23):
relying on much of their security service to keep all
of these G seven leaders safe. But it was the
Israelis who uncovered this one, and they said, to mister President,
that's a dangerous plane.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Don't get on it. This is a day to day
operation for these guys. Yesterday I talked with a member
of the United States Air Force who had flown numerous
times in Air Force One, and I asked her, how
would you feel about being a decoy, and she said,
that's part of the job.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Now.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
All the administration officials, the Secret Service, to flight crew,
they all know that. And in their hearts. The medium
members right now who are crying, going, well, it was
a decoy that the president had a threat and he's
left and left us there. The President, anytime he gets
on Air Force one, always has threats against him. Every day,

(29:17):
President Trump has threats against him from Iran and all
their proxies. And then just any crazy eyed nutjob hiding
on a golf course, there are people all over the
place trying to take him out. If you're a reporter
getting on Air Force One, you know that, So spare
me some of the faux outrage here about I didn't

(29:41):
like being used as what would you prefer that the
president be on there? The plane gets shot out of
the sky and you're all gone?

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Is that better?

Speaker 9 (29:49):
Like?

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Well, at least he was. He went down with me.
Probably some reporters would think that, but that's part of
that job. If you don't like it. I asked to
be reassigned to, you know, the city crime beat, which
is probably more dangerous, especially if you're in Chicago or
some parts of New York, than being on Air Force One.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
I just think, once again, this is an example of
just how advanced the Israeli intelligence services. We think the
CIA does a good job. Maybe it does, but the
residents alive, they're doing something. These guys over in Israel,
they know what's happening in Iran, probably more than they
know what's happening in Israel, and that's why have to
I would just say to those guys, you tell us

(30:29):
what you'd like us to do to take out those
bad guys, and will do it. But this anti Israeli
sentiment in this country right now, and the anti Israel
sentiment in this country right now, has become viral and
political somehow, some way, Israel now is the bad guy,
the world's bad guy, and I don't understand it. It's
a state the size it's a country the size of

(30:51):
the state of New Jersey, and they have been under
siege since nineteen forty seven. That country has been aimed
at and shot at and invaded for decades. And all
they're trying to do is live peaceful lives. All they
want to do is have a country.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
I understand that they're aligned with President Trump, and you
can't do that in the eyes of some people.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Aligned with every president since Harry Truman, I know, but
well no, necessarily with some liked and better than others. Right.
Obama wasn't a big fan of Israel, for example.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
And as far as presidents sneaking off air force one,
President Clinton did that too. Of course, the threat was Hillary,
and he wanted to get a haircut. Yeah, I think
it was. He wanted to shack up with some gap
tooth trailer trash chick and not have Hillary find out
about it.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
So he got into the catering truck to go do that.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah, there was a caterer he had his eye on.
She was attractive and she had food. Clinton was all
over it. Eleven to ten kfab certified transmission sports brief.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Jim, the WNBA is just determined to get the rest
of us to think of them for everything but basketball.
The mouthy coach of Indiana, Steph White, went off, this
is more.

Speaker 10 (32:02):
For an online community that's trying to create narratives that
simply don't exist, trying to create a fabrication or disortion
of who I am, of what I'm about. Our players success,
our players health and wellness, our player safety is always
a top priority for me. One of the things I
pride myself on is my.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Relationships with players. After the incident Sunday, when one of
her players was assaulted on the floor, she was ejected,
followed not she the coach, but the player who did
the assaulting was ejected, and followed that up with a
tweet on her social media account that red white privilege.
Massive online anger ensued.

Speaker 10 (32:40):
Every day.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
These women put their ass on the line. Every day.

I stand by them. I will always stand by them.
Everybody else can go to hell, all right, right, well
clean up your league, Punish the thugs, make it hurt,
get back to shooting baskets, getting rebounds, and maybe we'll

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Hello, good morning, kfab morning. Don't Air Force want to
have all those fancy gadgets to oh protect itself. I
always heard that the Air Force one was the most
safest plane to fly in when it comes to terrorist

(34:04):
attacks type crap.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Yeah, they have some of those technological defensive maneuvers that
they can release things that might mess with radar. So
if it's a radar guided missile, I think the answer
is yes, they do have those diversionary technological devices on
the plane. But if it's just a missile shot from

(34:27):
a shoulder fired launcher that's straight out the plane, I
don't think that they are affected by those. Now. The
range is obviously a lot closer to the ground than
if it were at thirty or thirty five or forty
thousand feet.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
I just like when that guy sends us a talkback
mic message. He just seems to go out in the
middle of nature as birds. I thought I heard an
owl in the background of that one. He's out there
in the most serene, pristine, quiet environment possible. Listening to
Nebraska's Morning News, why not take this racket with you
wherever you go. This is News Radio eleven ten KFAB.

(35:03):
That's Jim Rose, I'm Scott Vorhees, Craig Evans, Courtney, Donaho,
Lucy Chapman. Right there, here's another plane story involving the president.
Not the sneaking out with the caterers on Air Force
one last month, but yesterday the President apparently managed to
secure the release of an American who has spent more
than four years in a Russian prison. On of course,

(35:25):
trumped up disputed charges, the charges of you're an American
and you will be used as a pawn. We're charging
you with being a legal pawn in Russia. So he
wasn't apparently doing well, and Texas allowed him to go home.
Thirty two year old teacher detained since twenty twenty two.

(35:48):
He was convicted of beating a police officer after being
taken off a train for causing a disturbance. Maybe he did,
maybe he didn't, but he was sitting there in a
Russian prison for all these years, and the president said,
we got to get this guy home now. Of course
they asked the question, well, who did you trade, because
you know, other presidents said, all right, we need to

(36:10):
get one American out of Russia. And whether that's a
WNBA player or a teacher or a humanitarian worker, who
do you want? And Russia said how many? How many
terrorists and butchers and arms dealers you got in there?
Oh we got we had lots. Well can we have
all of them? Sure you can. That's how other presidents

(36:30):
have done it. This president said, we didn't trade anything.
We told Russia to release that guy, and they did.
In the meantime, maybe just maybe, and I know I
sound like an uncultured boob for saying this, and for
probably saying just about everything. But maybe Americans stop traveling

(36:53):
to Russia. They will probably detain you and use you
as a political pawn. I'm sure you know Russia with
its rich history before the Soviet Block. I'm sure there's
a lot of stuff you can see there. And I
have family members who have traveled to Russia on Christian

(37:13):
humanitarian missions and they said it was one of the
most beautiful things they've ever done in their lives that
I'm glad they might have made it out. But here's
the thing. Stop going to Russia. If you're looking for
some place to go. Have you been to Branson. Branson's fantastic.
If you've been to Nashville, stop by Nashville sometime. If Lucy,

(37:38):
if you're like, you know, should I go to Moscow
or Leningrad?

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Yes, a lot of US stock, you know, should I
go to Nashville? Choose Nashville Russia to Why Russia? Because
a whole lot less crime. You can go to Russia
and no crime.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Unless you're an American in Russia. Then the crime is
being an American in Russia.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
They will they will you can get. You can get
arrested as an American Moscow for picking your nose and
they'll find a way to give you ten years for that. Well,
just behave no how about just don't go? Don't go.
You know it's like Brittany Griner, what are you doing
over there now? She tried to pass marijuana through the airport,
So I think she should have stayed and this guy

(38:22):
should have come home instead. But she's an idiot, she's
she's not very bright. But you know why anybody would go.
It's like, why would you why would you go to
anywhere near North Korea or Iran? If you're an American,
they're looking for a reason, a nabya. You're gonna get
thrown in a jail. And trust me, the ones in

(38:43):
the US are a lot better than these, and they'll
use you to try to negotiate something with the governments
called hostage kinds of negotiations that really are all about okay,
we have Scott Vorhees over here, and if you want
them back, we have to have this, this, this, this
and this and and uh. You know, the United States
and the histon and the past has caved. They've said, okay,

(39:06):
all right, all right, Obama gave away the store to
get guys back. They're gonna have to come get me.
I'm not going to Russia, not going to Russia anytime.
So I just went to Yellowstone. I'd go back to
Yellowstone before going to Russia. Go just about anywhere before
going to Russia. I want to go to a desolate place.
I'll just go to North Dakota.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Well, there go our iHeartRadio listeners and Fargo. Thanks Jim.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
I don't think there's a ton of iHeart listeners, not anymore. Actually,
I am going to North Dakota. I'm gonna go visit
the Teddy Roosevelt Museum sometime this fall. President was up there.
He liked it. I like Teddy. I'm gonna have my
face right next to him on Mount Rushmore and I
are great friends. We got along very well.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
And Brian emailed Scott at kfab dot com via the
Zonker's custom was inbox and said, I guarantee if I
had a snake in my football helmet, I would be
the fastest player on the team, at least for the
four seconds after the discovery.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Thank you for that, Brian.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
You can also email Scott at kfab dot com anytime
you want via these acorous.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Custom was in I don't know how snake got into
the helmet. Okay, so the helmet's either on the head
of the player, it's in his hands, he's sitting on
it during a brief coaches conversation at practice, or it's
hanging in the locker there.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
You can think of a couple of times what either
snake could get in the locker.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
In the locker room in Arkansas is the locker on
a swamp. It's Arkansas. I don't know where an Arkansas was.
Arkansas is not underwater. The snake's everywhere. But there's also
times in football practice, not very often at least not
for our teams, but all right, hats off and come
over here, and you just throw your helmet on the ground.
Then you got to go back and try and figure

(40:50):
out which helmet is yours, the one with the snake in.
I just want to know where the hell this helmet
was long enough for a snake to say, ah, that's
where I want to hang out for a while.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
Well, at least he didn't throw his jockstraf off to
the side and then put it back on. Or are
you just happy to be playing football. That's not a
cotton mouth, Jim. You're a volatile guy. Very How do
you deal with road rage in traffic? We've got the
story here in Omaha the last couple of days, these
two guys in your ninety six in center were flipping
each other off, and then the camaro is making loud

(41:27):
muffler noises, and the guy in the minivan said, I
thought he was shooting at me, so I shot back
at him. Ah, I don't drive around Omaha and my
minivan without packing. So he shot the guy and now
he's in a lot of trouble for it. But this
all started because of a road rage incident. Do you
usually start those, finish those, or just back away from those?

Speaker 2 (41:47):
First of all, I drive defensively, so I presume somebody's
going to act like a jackass behind the wheel, which
I think is helpful to stay alive. If somebody does
something really mean, dumb, stupid, or whatever, I never flip
them off. I just sort of raise my hands like
what are you doing? Because if you flip them off,

(42:08):
that sometimes foretells of a gun battle. And I don't
shoot my gun while I'm driving my car. This isn't
a nineteen fifties Hollywood Western where they're in the stagecoach
shooting at guys or riding horses. We don't do that here.
But there are a lot of very, very troublesome people
out there that get behind the wheel of a killing machine,

(42:31):
which is what a vehicle is. So you need to say, hey,
if I'm in a bad mood, don't drive a car
for ten minutes count to ten.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
A lot of dangerous drivers out there. That's why every
morning I get into my car, wave at everyone, and
then I sneak out with the caterers and someone else
drives my car. Thanks for hanging out here. On news
radio eleven ten kfab, let's talk about alcohol and the
sports updates here. Jim has been talking about Tony Romo.
He had a bad duy.

Speaker 8 (43:02):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
There's they're d uys and they're all bad. There's no
excuse anymore. Rideshare, especially if you're doing one hundred million. Yeah,
you could have any number of people come pick you up.
There's just no excuse.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
Have a bikini clad dance squad member drive you around.
It'll make you feel better. That's that's what I do.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
So then and then you got the bad DUI where
suddenly we all see the arrest and you're a stammering,
drunken idiot.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
And he wasn't. He was he was wobbly, but he
wasn't slurring his speech and you know, bobbing his head
and all that. I mean, he he looked quasi sober,
but he flucked the field tests.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
So now Romo is going to be replaced this year
by JJ Watt. I got a great email from a
guy that said, did you see the story about JJ
a few weeks back? So jj Watt posts something on
his social media. He's like, hey, I'm here in New
York in a picture of him somewhere, and one of
the guys in the and said, oh, man, I wish
you were there. I'm not too far from there. I'd

(44:04):
come by and buy you a beer. And like an
hour later, JJ is looking at his comments and messages
the guy and said, you're still around, I'll come back,
and came back and the guy, you know, they had
a beer together. He posted a picture of the two
of these guys together. And JJ Wat's a good dude.
But on the subject of what you have said a
few times that Tony Romo will claim alcoholism is a disease,

(44:28):
and I'm going it is greeted for this.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
It is it is No, alcoholism is a disease. It's
an addiction. It's a disease.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Well, I know there's a lot of people right now
with an operable brain cancer saying, well, at least I
don't have alcoholism.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
But that's one way of looking at it. It's my
way of twisted mind would look at it that way.
But go ahead, okay.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
So I mean it's it's an addiction, and I'm not.
That's not me minimizing the poll of an addiction. So
Romo's gonna that route. Now, someone else who has said
these things before is now saying I'm tired of alcohol
having a grip on my life, because alcoholics will tell

(45:10):
you that alcohol always has a grip on your life,
even if you hadn't had a drink. That's correct in
twenty years, so Brad Pitt says, I've shifted my approach
to alcohol after being fully sober for seven years without
even a sip of anything. I've decided that I'm mature
enough and confident enough in who I am and what

(45:33):
I'm doing to be able to have a drink once
in a while. Now, I know many of you are
thinking about your cousin going at no point should he
ever go back to doing that? Well, maybe he can't,
and maybe Brad Pitt can. So how do what do
we think? I wanted to bring this up to kind
of get your thoughts on alcoholism here.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
Well, I know a lot about alcoholism because there's a
lot of it in my family. My dad was sober
for forty nine years, but he was committed to the
Twelve Steps and Alcoholics anonymous, and I do believe it hard.
It is, and you know it was the greatest accomplishment
of his life, the last forty nine years of his life.
But I can assure you that the addiction is it

(46:15):
is a mental issue, but it becomes a chemical issue. Alcoholism,
I believe, is a mental disorder, but then because of
your body's need to be satisfied with the alcoholic content,
it becomes a chemical addiction. And so when you go
off of it, there is a massive physical response to that.

(46:35):
But yeah, mentally, you know, you make the decision, I'm
going to drink. I need this drink to get through
the day. I can't function without it. And there are
lots and lots of studies about how that happens, why
that happens. Is it genetic? I do think there is
a genetic predilection to it. Sometimes it skips a generation.

(46:56):
But you know, to Tony Romo's credit, you know, he
didn't he wasn't He certainly wasn't beligerent with the police officer.
Was actually quite affable. He tried to call his lawyer.
They wouldn't let him do that until after he got
out of the car and all of that, and they
took his phone. He wanted the phone to show. He
set the phone up on the back of his vehicle

(47:18):
to videotape what was happening, so he'd have that in
case this cop stepped out of line. But you do wonder,
and this happens a lot, Scott. You know, these guys
they feel like they are impenetrable, that they are superman,
that there is teflon there and nothing can get them.
Why would you get behind the wheel in the year
twenty twenty six, now after you've had a couple of

(47:39):
pops no argument in his case, probably more than one
or two. Why in Heaven's name would Tony Romo, one
of the highest profile media personalities in sports climb behind
the wheel of an suv instead of either calling for
a lift, calling for an uber, or having the hot
you know at the end of the table say would
you drive me home? I mean, that's all it takes.

(48:01):
But sometimes these guys thinking, huh, I'm fine, nothing's gonna
happen to me. I had driven him home. I'd drive
Tiger Woods around if you need me. Same thing with
Tiger Why would you do that? But there's no explaining
human behavior.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
Do you think someone like Brad Pitt, who previously said
he went through alcoholics anonymous after his divorce from Angelina
and Joe Lee said I'm sober, as told everyone for
seven years, I'm sober, And now he says I've been
to have a glass of wine once in a while.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
It's not a big deal. Can he do that?

Speaker 1 (48:27):
Or do you immediately, because of everything you just said
there and now what you've seen in proximity to it,
think oh, he's he's about to turn it into.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
Depend That depends, It depends. It depends on every individual.
Everybody's chemical wiring is a little different. Uh yeah. Is
it possible that somebody who gave up alcohol because it
was having devastating effects on his or her life, can
go back and just drink socially. I suppose I've seen
it happen. I never get nervous when you see it

(48:58):
that I've never seen. Ali, I've seen it. Okay, that
guy and you see it.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
You see someone who's gone through the program, hasn't drank
in a couple of years, and next thing you know,
you see him with a drink, and you think, let's
keep an eye on this.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
Sure.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
I mean, it makes you nervous, But if you can
get to a point where you can do that and
doesn't rule your life, it's the best.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
Sure I have never I've known a lot of alcoholics
in my life, some of whom don't think they're alcoholics,
but they are. I've seen guys that have been through
the program, men and women, and they can't come within
five feet of an alcohol of a drink or a
beer or anything, or a glass of wine without slipping
back into an addictions.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
A lot of conversation in the inbox right now as
to whether or not alcoholism is a disease or whether
it is an addiction. The only email I'll read on
that is just funny from Jim that says, holy cow, Scott,
you are correct for once in your life. Alcohol is
a compulsion, not an addiction. Not a pardon me. Alcohol
is a compulsion and addiction, not a disease. Good job.

(50:04):
It's a cop out calling it a disease. And there's
some of that here in the inbox. But we were
talking about this because Brad Pitt says, I know I've
been sober for years and I've gone through alcoholics anonymous,
but I've decided I don't want alcohol to rule over
me by not drinking. So I'm gonna have a beer
once in a while. I'm gonna have a cocktail or
a glass of wine, and hopefully I won't go off

(50:26):
the rails. And certainly I hope he doesn't. Other people
hear that and they get really really nervous about themselves
or someone else. Email here Unsigned says I was medicating
when I drank. I can tell you this much. I
could go back out and be fine for a while,
but I know I'd hit the wall and those behaviors
that got me to quitting, I would re emerge my

(50:48):
secret drinking, having my case's fountain soda spiked, pretending I'm
not drinking, all the drama that comes with all that crap.
Bottom line, I'd never go back because my life it's
too good. Relationships are too good. That's awesome, dude, congratulations.
It is one of the hardest things in the world
to overcome, and whatever it is you would call that,

(51:12):
whether it's alcoholism or using drugs or gambling, whatever that
addiction is, it's one of the hardest things to overcome.
If you're able to do it, don't stop what you're doing.
I'm Scott vorhe is welcoming back here for kind of
a roundup of what we saw across the country yesterday
with the primary elections. Back from Fox News Radio, it's

(51:34):
Evan Brown here on eleven ten kfab. I think we
got to start in Wisconsin. What happened to Francesca Hong.

Speaker 4 (51:41):
Yeah, So we have a couple things to talk about
with that. The first thing we have to get out
of the way here is the polling. We have once
again had another situation where the polling did not really
reflect the outcome, and we have to ask questions, why
are these polls, you know, worthwhile anymore? Maybe they are,

(52:02):
maybe they're not. I think personally it has to do
with the posters not being able to reach voters the
way they use two people don't answer calls from numbers
they don't know, and they nor texts they didn't ask
for and all that kind of stuff. So I think
maybe the posters are having trouble reaching people and therefore
don't get accurate sampling when they do their polls. But

(52:22):
you know, there are some establishment voices. I thought a
tweet from Jim Axelrod earlier she meet David Axelrod earlier,
saying that you know, this was a sound win for
the establishment, Well it really wasn't, because even though she lost,
she only lost zero point four percent. She basically had
half the votes.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
Votes.

Speaker 4 (52:43):
Yeah, she had the half the vote's cast, you know,
just about half the vote's cast. A little bit less
obviously went to her. So I think Democrats have to
begin to address this at the top party level, to say,
we have candidates who are running essentially again into the
Democratic Party from within, and they're pushing a very anti

(53:03):
American message, and that is the message of the Democratic Socialists,
which have also adopted an Islamist spent, and I think
that that is beginning to scare some of the upper
echelon of the Democratic Party because they've they've sort of
inculcated this a bit. They've spent the past thirty years
courting extremist voters as they have lost more of Middle America,

(53:26):
and so, you know, back in the nineties, it was
the environmentalists, and then then was the feminists and so
on and so forth. Now it's the LGBTQ and the
and the and the Islamists that they have been trying
to you know, I guess bring into their tent. And
now this, this voice, this dissident voice, is becoming very

(53:48):
loud and has the ability to throw throw primary elections. Certainly,
their biggest accomplishment, you know, to date has been zoron
Mandami in New York. But with l say Ed's you know,
win last week in Michigan in the Senate primary, and
now Hang almost winning the governor's primary in Wisconsin, this

(54:09):
needs to ring some bills for them.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
Evan, let's talk about Minnesota. Well, hey, one more thought
about Wisconsin. I want to ask this real quick. Do
you think Evan, that Hang lost because going into this
it was a foregone conclusion. She's up by nearly fifteen points.
Don't even worry about going out and voting. Do you
think some people stayed home because of that?

Speaker 4 (54:29):
No? No, I think that the Democratic Socialist block of
voters are very motivated and they came out in force. Again,
she barely lost, Yeah, she barely a few thousand votes.
Going the other way, she would have won.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
Well, I just I feel bad about her campaign manager.
She's going to have to go back to being an
adult film star. By the way, look it up, that's true,
all right, Jim ro Let's visit about Minnesota Latota.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
The People's Republic of Minnesota has not elected a Republican
state wide since two thousand and six. Peggy flanagain is
a DSA cheerleader. By the way, nobody votes for the
lieutenant governor, so it's not like people voted for her
when Tim Walls made her the lieutenant governor on his
ticket four years ago.

Speaker 4 (55:13):
But I assume that they elect them together.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
Yeah, but it's just like nobody. Nobody walks out of
the voting booth and says, you know, I was really
undecided until I looked at the lieutenant governor candidate, and
that's what tipped me over. This woman is crazy, and
it seems to me that Minnesota, which has not been
a blowout win in presidential elections for Democrats in quite

(55:37):
a while, would be in play two things. One how
really radical is Peggy Flanagan And two can Michelle Tafoya
win this?

Speaker 4 (55:49):
Well, that's a great question. You know, primary elections are
different than general elections. Primary elections are catered towards you know,
what we call the super voter, the people who never
missed any type of chance to vote. They're much more involved.
General elections get much more people out, and when you
have an extreme voice winning a nomination, that person now

(56:12):
has a challenge in that they have to not only
get the same people to come back out and vote
for them, they have to get their own party people
that didn't vote for them, and then they have to
get independence and maybe even some of the other party
to cross over. I think Flanagan is going to have
a big, big trouble doing that, even in a state
like Minnesota. That being said, Michelle Tafoya's certainly is a

(56:37):
popular person. The question is is would she be able
to again get independence and maybe some of those Democrats
that are dismayed that their party picked a.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
Socialist she has made fraud the very foundation of her campaign,
mister Foya has I mean from the very beginning when
she declared back in January, she said, this state has
been ripped off by fraud. How big a pro is
that in the eyes of voters in Minnesota? Or would
they continue to pick communists just because they always have?

Speaker 4 (57:08):
Well that again, half the half the party, uh didn't
pick communists, right, I mean half the party did, of course,
but uh. The other the other thing is, you know,
are people angry enough that their money was used to
fund these you know, these fraudulent empires, the so called
quality leering schools or whatever it was called. You know,

(57:31):
if people are angry enough about that, then mister Foya's
messages will resonate. She of course has to provide solutions
to that. How do we make sure that this fraud's
not happening? How much? You know, consumer advocacies is really
what this is, and that always rings well with people.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
You know, you guys are paying attention to the wrong thing.
You ought to watch Tim Wallas's golf swing. This beautiful
thing of beauty. Evan always appreciate it. Thank you very
much for coming on here. You bet take care Fox
News Radio. That's Evan Brown here on kfab.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
Maybe I'm crazy and I have met Michelle Tafoya during
my years in sports broadcasting. She is a delightful person.
She's very very likable, very warm and welcoming for a celebrity,
She's done Super Bowls and Final Fours and NBA Championships
and all the rest. If she can convince Minnesotans that
Peggy Flanagan is part of the problem, okay, she isn't

(58:25):
a solution to the problem.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
She is the problem. Now you have to convince Minnesotans
there is a problem.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
I don't know Minnesotans who pay taxes, even Democrats who
pay taxes, are okay with this.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
How many of these people up there voting for all
these candidates pay taxes. Someone else got to take care
of that.
