Speaker 1 (00:00):
We wake up here this morning still with no idea
where Savannah Guthrie's mommy is. Eighty four year old woman
last seeing her home there a on Tucson Saturday night.
Now authorities are like, we think that there was a
ransom note. But then there's a lot of people saying
this appears to be fake. Who in the world, when
(00:25):
looking at a family who might be dealing with the
abduction of their eighty four year old mother, says, you know,
it would be interesting. Let me get a little attention
here and just throw out there into the void a
fake ransom note. But authorities, of course have to follow
(00:46):
all these leads, which if it is a fake ransom note,
if the more they have to go pursue that and
use anyone's resources to pursue that, then they're missing going
and pursuing what might actually be happening with this woman.
But it doesn't appear to be any kind of robbery.
Here's what we do know. Her phone, her wallet, her
(01:06):
car still at her home after she vanished her electronic devices,
stopped communicating with her pacemaker about two o'clock in the
morning on Sunday, indicating she was taken around that time,
and it's you know, they got surveillance cameras at the property,
(01:26):
but so far they've yielded nothing. And I'm kind of
along the same lines as what Clay and Buck were
talking about yesterday, and that is for anyone who's like, Hey,
we're gonna we're gonna pinpoint a celebrity and we're gonna
kidnap her mom and hold her for ransom, because I
bet she's got deep pockets and the world's going to
be transfixed by this. At what point on that list
(01:49):
do you finally drop down to Savannah Guthrie, the co
host of The Today Show on NBC, Not that she
doesn't have great job, a bunch of people watch her
every single morning. But if people are like, yeah, we're
going after Guthrie, like that doesn't None of this makes
any sense. None of it makes any sense. So we're
(02:13):
back to it's either a family member or someone that
they know, or it just happened to be someone targeted
the house and thought it was a soft target. But
even in that instance, kidnapping an older woman, none of
it makes any sense. So we're of course waiting for
any kind of information on that this morning.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
And nothing was taken.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
No doesn't seem like anything was taken, wallet, car phone,
they're all still there in the house. I don't know
what else she had in there, but doesn't appear that
this was at all a robbery.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
So we've got that.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
This morning, yesterday the President was talking about the end
of the partial government shutdown. I presume that you did
the exact same thing my family did. After after the
partial government shutdown started Friday night, we just huddled around
each other and uh and and prayed and we kept
warm by candle light and uh. It was it was
(03:12):
touch and go there for a while. But then finally
when we got the news that the partial government shutdown
was over, we rejoiced.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
We were out there.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
We're wondering why our neighbors weren't also rushing out in
the streets yesterday to celebrate this occasion. I grabbed a
nurse and kissed her. She was like, I don't I
don't know who you are, what you're doing. I said,
the shutdown is over, and I thought it would be
a nice moment. I got arrested. It's it's it was
a tough few days there with the partial government shut down.
So the President's taking questions about that and now he's
(03:43):
getting questioned about Epstein by CNN Chief White House correspondent
Caitlin Collins, and it did not go well.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
You're talking about Democrats were in there. Elin Musk was
also in there, and so was your Commerce Secretary Howard
Lutnik and correspondence that he had with him. Did you
those new files that were published?
Speaker 5 (04:02):
And I have a lot of things, I'm doing you
a lot of things, and I don't know you mentioned
two names. I'm sure they're fine. I'm sure they're Otherwise
it would have been major headlines.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
A lot of women who were are survivors of Epstein's
are unhappy with those redactions that came out. Some of them,
entire witness interviews are totally blocked out.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Do you think that they thought they released too much?
I heard that, and you're telling me something else.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
So I think it's really.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Time for the country to get onto something else. You
know now that nothing came out about me other than
it was a conspiracy against me, literally by Epstein and
other people. But I think it's time now for the
country to maybe get onto something else.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
What would you say to people.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Something that people care about?
Speaker 5 (04:50):
What?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
What do you say you.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Are the worst reporter, no one to see it has
no ratings because of people like you. You know, she
he's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen
you smile. I've known you for ten years. I don't
think I've ever seen a.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Smile on it.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
You know what, He's not smiling because you know, you're
not telling me that truth. And you're a very disarmist
organization and they should be ashamed of you.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
That's how that ended, and the President moved on. And
that was the president's correspondence with White House correspondent for CNN,
Caitlin Collins. I've known you for ten years. I don't
think I've ever seen you smile. Well, mister President, I'm
asking you about survivors of sexual abuse, so I'm not
gonna have a big smile on my face.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
But she doesn't smile. If you've ever watched her, she's
got one of the stone faces of television news. But
that's beside the point. She knew what she was getting
with Trump. And when you keep pressing on Trump, pick,
this is what you get, and of course you get
an attack, you get it. You know, there's a reason
you have the lowest ratings. There's a reason nobody watches
(05:59):
you all of the personal attacks. Just keep after it, Caitlin,
this is what you get. Maybe that's what she wanted.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
But every time the president does this, the media comes
out and says, there's the long history of Donald Trump
calling women names and making fun of their appearance and
so forth, which is one hundred percent true. I am
not arguing with that, but there's also a long history
of the president calling men names and making fun of
their appearance. Dave emails via the Zonker's custom was inbox
(06:27):
Scott at kfab dot com, and I'm guarantee he never
thought I'd read this email on the air. He says,
I think you guys are wrong this morning about Trump
picking on female reporters. CNN's Caitlin Collins definitely goes to
the bathroom standing up and can hawk chaw about thirty feet. So, Dave,
(06:48):
I don't know what that says about you for sending
an email like that. I don't know what it says
about me for reading an email like that on the air,
or finding Caitlin Collins from CNN instead of pleasing I
don't know. There's a lot of self reflection that needs
to happen in the wake of Dave's email, and we'll
give that the rest of the day. But what the
(07:09):
president was ultimately upset about was, as Jim Rose was
decrying yesterday, why don't we just move on from the
Epstein files? There's nothing there and my paraphrasing.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
You accurated. Yeah, do you hear what.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Melinda French Gates though said in the wake of the
latest Epstein dump, I'm gonna tie everything in together, because
the President was saying it was clear in these emails
that Epstein had a pattern of sending emails to people
or sending like weird email drafts to himself apparently like
(07:45):
ready in an arsenal to fire off to members of
the media or other politicians to try and incriminate people
who might be able to later say, oh, I understand
the us of incriminating evidence, or you had something on me,
so let's try and broker a deal to get you
a more lenient sentence, which of course he got.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I'd love to know how that happened.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So with a lot of people, but this guy was
Epstein was sending a lot of emails to himself already
in drafts to fire off with stuff that may or
may not have been true about very powerful people. One
of those people Bill Gates. We all know Bill Gates.
He gave us he invented computers or something, so that
(08:28):
comes through a computer. Yeah, the computer was a paperweight before.
Billy Jobs was kind of the computer guy. They got
together and invented computers with Al Gore, and they invented
computers in the Internet. So Bill Gates' ex wife is
Melinda French Gates and NPR went running to her and said,
these newly released Justice Department documents suggest that maybe there
(08:54):
was some link between Epstein and your ex husband. She says, well,
he's my ex husband. I don't have anything to do
with him. That's all on him. But it looks like
these email drafts where Epstein would beg or claim Bill
Gates had contracted an std from Russian girls, begged Epstein
(09:16):
to delete related emails, and asked for antibiotics to give
to Melenda without her knowledge. So these are drafts that
Epstein wrote to himself, seemingly for someone who was supposed
to be either Bill Gates or someone who worked for
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Bill Gates has called
(09:37):
these claims absolutely absurd and completely false. The document show
Epstein's frustration the Gates kept his distance and the lengths
that Epstein would go to to entrap and defane him,
which let's presume that's true. That's the same thing that
Epstein was doing about Trump. It also then speaks to
why people would go running off to Melenda Gas. It's
(10:00):
now this had to do with the foundation that bears
her name. They haven't been divorced for all that long.
I don't know how long they've been exes. But it's
not like this other news story about an ex yesterday
where Joe Biden's wife, doctor Jill Biden, her ex husband
is now accused of murdering his wife or current wife
(10:26):
at the time, and so in December, right, so yeah,
that's right. It happened this past December, and so they
picked him up and then they go running and linking
him to doctor Jill Biden. These people haven't been married
to each other for fifty years. So it'd be like
for you, Jim, if your third grade girlfriend, Hey, it's
(10:48):
something that got in the news, all right, you're still
sensitive about it means very hot if your ex from
fifty years ago does something and then here come the media. Hey, Jim,
what do you think about what happened here with your ex? Like, guys,
I think it's terrible. It was fifty years ago.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yeah, you know, this is the thing. Joe Biden. Joe
Biden was probably a really mediocre first lady. She was
probably somebody who cared more about the maids, the planes,
the cars, the valets, the dresses, and the dinner parties
than her husband. Otherwise she wouldn't have let him run
for reelection. There's a lot a lot of question there,
(11:29):
But this stuff right here is way out of bounds.
She married. Now, this guy went public, the Stevenson guy
went public a few years back saying she cheated on
me with him. She was messing with Joe Biden before
we were divorced. Okay, well, there's two sides to every story.
But they were divorced in nineteen seventy five, and the
(11:52):
president and Joe Biden were married in nineteen seventy seven. Yeah,
you know, guess what, talk about history that doesn't count anymore.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Well, that does speak to a lot of questions regarding judgment,
the judgment of allowing your husband, the former president, to
run for reelection in that state, the judgment lady, the
judgment for being married gig, the judgment for being married
to someone who later might commit murder, and the judgment
for seeing a young Joe Biden and saying, I don't
(12:19):
care if it's wrong, I have to have me some
of that. Right, We've got Sean Callahan.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
They had a very active sex life, which is nice
to know.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Boy, I was trying to cut you off before you
went there, and I just missed it. Since Joel mcavica
got picked for the Board of Regents, do you think
his older brother, Jeff mcavicka is upset, going, Hey, what
about me?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
About me? How come his little brother might have been
the best athlete of all of them? Justin really, yeah,
whatever happened to him? Carney multiple sport guy?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Okay, well, I'm sorry I missed him out. Dad was
a really good athlete Clopers. But yeah, that's as Richard
Nixon once said about the Carpenters, that's quite a family.
This stat here is so dumb. I'm not even going
I mean, I should probably mention the business because so
often there's something like a pole that has been put
(13:09):
together by website dot com says that the most searched
or the most popular thing in your state is this,
And I'm looking at this and the only thing I
want to give them credit for is coming up with
something so stupid that it got my attention, which is
not hard and then related that information on the radio.
(13:31):
So I'll tell you what the most searched for healthy
snack to watch for the Super Bowl this Sunday is
in Nebraska and Iowa. This is people are like, I
want to watch the game on Sunday, but I don't
want to eat something like wings or d Why would anybody.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Eat something healthy during the Super Bowl. Well, there's only
one of these. So we're having a party. Everyone here.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
We want to have a healthy super Bowl snack. All
you'll be You'll have a very thinly at So the
idea is is that people are having a party, they
want to have a healthy snack option, and then they
have to go online and do a search for what
is this thing? I've heard about it? What is it?
How do I make it? And in the state of Nebraska,
that healthy snack option that people are going online to
(14:17):
search about would be hard boiled eggs. Oh I like
heart boiled eggs. I would eat hard boiled eggs for
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Not even deviled, not even doubled.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
No, it's hard boiled. No, no, and not even like
cool hand Luke style. I'll eat fifty eggs on fifty
eggs on Sunday. So the idea here is that someone's like, all,
I want to have people over the game. I want
to have a healthy snack option. Well, Madge, have you
tried hard boiled eggs? Hard boiled eggs? What are those?
How do I make them? Do I need eggs? Are
(14:51):
they egg based? Let me go online, deer Google. You
don't have to write in deer Google. All right, Google?
What are heart boiled eggs?
Speaker 7 (15:01):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I just take eggs and I put them in water.
You gotta boil the water. Oh that's the boiled part,
isn't it. By the way, if all this sounds stupid
to you, that's exactly the conversation that's going to take
place Sunday evening round about seven thirty or so, whenever
the game goes to halftime. And a lot of Americans
(15:22):
who tend to be very patriotic, they're not going to
be interested in the bad Bunny halftime show. Someone's gonna say, well,
you know, Charlie Kirk's organization that Turning Point USA has
got an alternative halftime show, and they're gonna say, well,
I'd rather watch that. I heard Jim Rose say on
the AM radio that if you're a good American, you
should not give the NFL, and they're broadcasting partner the
(15:45):
eyeballs to watch the Bad Bunny Show. Go watch the
show for real Americans. And there'll be a lot of
people who do that, But there will also be a
lot of people who are, let's face it, not technologically savvy. This,
my may or, may not be a symptom of their age.
Maybe maybe it is, maybe it's not. We'll just put
it as not technologically savvy. And so as soon as
(16:09):
the second quarter ends with the game on Sunday, the
conversation will start. You will get a phone call from
your parents. Where do we find the Charlie Kirk show. Well,
it's it's streaming. Why that I don't have streamers. I
don't have a stream I'm not getting the bunting out
until Independence days.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
There's streamers. There's a river about a mile from here,
but that's as close as I get to a stream.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I typed in Charlie Kirk into my TV and nothing
came up well, and then.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Typed in Charlie Kirk on my TV.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I shout into my remote control, hey, Siri, find the
Turning Point usay halftime show. And then you're gonna like, well,
it's either on this streamer, or it's on that, or
it's on the YouTube channel. Well I don't I don't
get YouTube, Like, well, it's call your fourth grader. They'll
find it for you.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I know.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I'm telling you, if you want to watch it on Sunday,
don't wait until the last minute to go trying to
find it. There are networks who will broadcast it if
you have the cable package that has all the channels
that includes things like one America News Network for example,
or you can find the Turning Point USA stream on
(17:17):
YouTube YouTube TV. I mean, it will be available in
some places, but there will be a lot of people
who at that time are yelling at their TV find
kid Rock, and then you're gonna have the problem of
them looking at kid Rock going I don't know who
this man is and I don't like him. Maybe they will,
maybe they won't. And there's some country music singers on
(17:39):
there as well. So just giving you a heads up,
that's what's coming up on Sunday. Oh, it's gonna be great,
a great night on Sunday. I can't wait. And if
the football game is no good and the halftime show
is no good and you can't find the turning point
USA halftime show, then at least you got hard boiled eggs.
By the way, in Iowa, the most search for healthy
snack is something called pork chop on a stick. No,
(18:03):
this is a healthy option, cowboy caviar. I see, I
had to look that up.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
It's a just a Oh that's good.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
It's a bean salad. Yeah, black eyed peas and so forth.
All right, the black eyed peas playing the halftime show?
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Yes, I would thank you to forward it to me, please, black.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Eyed peas, corn tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and cilantro. You
know what I'll eat that? Are you inviting me over
for the game on Sunday?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
You know I might just come over and hang out
with the family, because I promise you there's nothing in
that bean salad that my husband will eat well, So
I'll into beating the whole.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Thing like everything else Lucy makes.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
You'll bring it in on Monday morning and that'll sit
there on that counter until Thursday. Oh, really complain, at
which point I'll still eat it. I'm not complaining, just
saying this how it works. That's how it works around here.
This is news Radio eleven KFAB. Did you catch the
Rosie Didgenozi yesterday? It was outstanding. I gave it a
stand innovation right here in the studio And if you
(19:02):
missed it, it's on the Jim Rose podcast link at
kfab dot com. But you were directing your ire towards,
among other things, and people Billie Eilish at the Grammys
lecturing people about how no one is illegal on petulant
child on stolen land is what she said, No one
is illegal on stolen land. And you pointed out, you know,
(19:25):
she owns this multi million dollar home in the Hollywood Hills. Well,
A spokesperson for the Tongva tribe says, as the first
people of the Greater Los Angeles Basin, we do understand
that her home is situated in our ancestral land. It
(19:46):
is Eilish has not contracted our tribe directly regarding her property.
We do value the instance when public figures provide visibility
to the true history of this country. It is our
hope that in future discussions the tribe can explicitly be
referenced to ensure the public understands that the Greater Los
Angeles Basin remains Gabrielano Tongva territory. No word from Billie
(20:09):
Eilish whether she's going to open up the gates.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
She doesn't even know. Somebody wrote that for her. She
doesn't know anything about Native Indian tribes in California. She's
got a piece of property that she bought. She put
a ten million dollar house on it, with a twelve
foot wall around it, and now one of those Indians
is even coming close to the inside of that building.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I think they prefer Native America. Well, I don't think
they prefer Native Americans, Indigenous tribes and the indigenous people
of the Tongva tribe as their property. Get off, want
to go hang out in Billie Eilish's house, and by
her own words, has got to let them do it now.
The eleven to ten KFAB Certified Transmission Sports Brief. Here'ce
Jim Row.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Okay Scott at the Super Bowl. The players are living
the dream every kid who played high school or midget
football dreams of being in the super Bowl one day,
he wants to be the Super Bowl. Well, Sam Donald,
who's living that right now? And he was remembering his
first Super Bowl memory.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
I was with my Pop Warner team and we were
all we were celebrating a really good season and at
my friend's house, and we were watching Peyton Manning and
the coltsco against Rex Grossman and the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
But it makes you feel old, doesn't it. Yeah, Peyton Manning,
he has rest Grex Grossman Man. Both of them have
receiding airlines. Now. Sam Donald's have a hell of a
year for Seattle, taking this team into the Super Bowl,
trying to win it for the first time. Sports his
news on Nebraska's news Weather in traffic station Kay at
Baby News time in the morning, seven twenty three.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I saw that Donald's first Super Bowl memory involved the Bears,
and I immediately thought the eighty five games now super
Bowl Shuffle and all the rest of it. No, we
are a few years older than Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnald.
What's your first Super Bowl mind? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Wow? Uh, Well, the neighbor kids, we used to have
a super Bowl party one of the neighbor kids houses
I'd say Miami, the Vikings Super seven. I think Raiders, Redskins.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Marcus Allen going off for seventy some yards on that
Edwin run.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
He switched direction.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
That's why I became a lifelong Marcus Allen fan. All Right,
I'm a lifelong Lucy Chapman fan as well. She's a
good runner. She does great timesaber traffic.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Listen, I don't run well.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I mean, if something was chasing me, I don't.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Maybe no, you would.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Zombies.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I can outrun them, That's about it.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
If something was chasing you would say, oh, thank goodness,
the grateful relief I have been waiting for for all
the I work with Scott and gym every morning, and
all I've been waiting for is to be attacked.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
By that bear is laid down and die.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
The brothers of Renee Good and she, the woman in
the car who has Ice agents there in Minneapolis, were saying,
all right, time to get out of the car. This
has gone on long enough. And she was impeding in
ice operation, blocking the road as they were trying to
bring someone into custody, and they said get out of
the car.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
She didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
An Ice agent in front of the vehicle, she decided
to step on the gas. The ICE agent responded with gunfire.
She lost her life there, unnecessarily, in the streets of Minneapolis.
Her brothers went to Washington with a message that their
sister's killing, which they described as a murder and killed
(23:26):
in cold blood by their own government killing by an
ICE officer, has not brought the change that they'd expected.
Now it's still illegal to drive a vehicle at law
enforcement in this country. I guess they wanted that legal.
What else they wanted was, they said, a sweeping overhaul
(23:49):
of Department of Homeland Security policies, including mandatory body cameras
for ICE agents. The ICE agent in front of the
vehicle was wearing a body camera, and even though people
saw it, what they saw in that video was more
dependent on who they voted for in twenty twenty four
than anything else. They also wanted an end to masking
(24:09):
that conceals officers' identities, so that the people it's they're
calling these guys murderers, killing citizens and cold blood kidnapping children,
and we want to know who they are so we
can go get them. Why in the world would they
want to conceal their identities when there's a wild, violent
(24:30):
mob in some cases like Alex pretty armed to the
hilt that are looking for them, why would they want
to protect their identities and that of their families. By
the way, several cars followed ICE officials through South Minneapolis
yesterday after there were reports aka rumors, AKA it doesn't
(24:51):
work like this. We saw this here in Omaha. There's
rumors that ICE is going door to door looking for
people with even so much as a decent tan so
they can throw them in the van and take them
to Uganda. It's it's fake. Look, ICE agents don't go
door to door asking if there's anyone illegal in your home.
(25:11):
The sheer waste of time, manpower, and by the way,
even if they had the man power and they thought
that was a good idea, so they come to your house,
anyone illegal in there? Uh no, no, okay, they said, no,
all right, we're what about your neighbor's house? Uh yeah,
the neighbor that won't return my power tools, the neighbor
(25:34):
who I know is having a Super Bowl party on
Sunday and didn't invite me. Yes, they're all illegal. Go
over there, locked and loaded. This is the stupidest thing anyway, rumors,
fake news of ICE agents going through South Minneapolis yesterday
knocking on doors of homes. We're here for your children.
(25:55):
So several cars started following the ICE officials and stop
their vehicles and impeded whatever investigation that they were engaging in.
So officers then get out of their vehicles and they
ordered the activists to get out of their car that
was blocking traffic. They did so while drawing their weapons.
(26:18):
Agents told reporters at the scene, oh, don lemon out.
Agents told reporters at the scene to stay back and
threaten to use pepper spray. So some people got arrested.
There was a guy wearing an anti ICE message on
his clothes. I wonder how elegant that message was. Did
he learn it by watching the Grammys? They saw him handcuffed,
(26:40):
face down the ground. ICE agents had their guns drawn.
No one got shot. This is good, this is better.
And as that's going on there in Minneapolis, we have
a judge in Oregon saying that federal officers ICE are
temporarily barred from using tear gas at protesters outside the
(27:03):
Portland Immigration Building. So if you are engaged in hampering
a law enforcement operation, if you are actively impeding or
threatening or chucking stuff at ice officials. This judge said,
you guys can't use tear gas, and he didn't say
use bullets, and said they're just apparently supposed to take it.
(27:27):
The judge limited offers from firing munitions at the headnecked torso, face,
shoulder hairline unless the officer is legally justified in using
deadly force against that person. Well, ask the protesters, would
you rather provoke the officer until deadly force is necessary
(27:48):
or would you rather get the tear gas warning? I
know what I would choose, but I'm not going out
and trying to impede law enforcement. Fantastic weather here through
next week, and I don't really see it getting it
all that terrible right after that. So I don't know
if you start planning your geraniums at this point or
(28:09):
your mum's your chrysanthemums, Lucy.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Can you spell chrysanthemum.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
See r wysum.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah, so it's very close closer than I could get.
Can you spell Milania?
Speaker 7 (28:24):
No?
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Have you seen the documentary?
Speaker 6 (28:27):
Not yet?
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Are you gonna watch it? Yes? As you know.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
This past weekend they released the documentary film Milania. The
Guardian is among those that offered up a review and
they gave it one star. Well, they just corrected themselves
and they said, we're very sorry. This almost never happens.
There was a formatting issue. The reviewer actually meant to
(28:51):
give this zero stars. Oh, okay, okay, and so therefore
it's it has zero intrinsic value. It's an insipid propaganda piece.
And just in case you're wondering who they perhaps voted
for in the presidential election, they call Malania a button
eyed Cinderella, distracting viewers with luxury, as Trump and his
(29:16):
allies scheme in the background.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
What that's what they're luxuries, right, because no other first
lady is indulged in luxuries.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
So I just love the idea that you know, they like.
She gets like opening up doors, and Trump's like.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Shut the door.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
We're talking about getting Maduro. Oh sorry, we're talking about
kidnapping babies and killing citizens. You know, he and Christine
Noam and Stephen Miller are back there conspiring, and Milania
is like, oh, nothing to see here.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Shut the door. Malania Trump took a step down in
luxury when she entered the White House. You know, the
idea that she's she made some sort of massive sacrifice
is actually true because she had a much more luxurious
lifestyle in Trump Tower than she has in the White House.
Why because you don't have cameras following in her around
at Trump Tower mar A Lago you do in the
(30:07):
White House.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
So now the IMDb, the Internet Movie database, lists Milania
as one of the worst reviewed movies of all time,
which ties Kirk Cameron Saving Christmas. And I don't know
if that's a good movie. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
I think I actually enjoyed that movie. I saw that
movie because I said, you know what it's if it
gets this much of a critical review, I gotta watch it.
But you know how this works.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
All of the people who hate everything true political, and
that includes Kirk Cameron because he has the audacity to
be he's a stand up Christian Christian. I have Christianity
all over both sleeves, not just one sleeve, but wearing
it all over my sleeves and my pants and this hat.
That's Kirk Cameron. And so all the people who hate
that kind of thing go on there and they give
(30:51):
it zero star reviews and like this makes any difference
to anybody. So the Guardian has issued a press release
saying we apologize for the formatting era formatting issue error.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
It meant to get zero stars? Now is it rated
lower than my movie?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
IMBD? What movie is that Twelfth Victim? The Twelfth Victim?
Speaker 3 (31:12):
You know I have credits on that movie, that that
showtime special. I thought you were the star of terms
of endearment, and now I was in terms of endearment.
But I didn't have a speaking role. But in the
Twelfth Victim you hear the voice of Rosie.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
That's right, you were the voice on the broadcast radio.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
That was the radio announcement looking for Charlie stock While
kind of typecast, but I acted very well. Yeah, no,
I got the gig. It was highly competitive.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Who produced that for you? To help you get that role? Actually,
Scott Vorhees was in the studio. Did I get a
portion of the credits? Did I get any money?
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Now?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
I just wanted to be listed in the credits credits,
some sort of you know, assistant to assistant, Yeah, assistant
to mister Rose.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I just wanted.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
I mean, the credits go on for they. I can't
get an assistant to mister Rose credit. I'm gonna talk
to my agent.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Let me see if I can make a couple of calls.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Lucy, are you my agent? Lucy gave up on this
conversation three minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
No, to the first part, definitely to the second part.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Okay, Lucy should have been in the movies, Luke, Oh, yeah,
she should, Well something what movies?
Speaker 2 (32:23):
See? That's the problem. You can say, Bill in the
blank should have been in the movies to anybody?
Speaker 1 (32:29):
What would be the name of Lucy Chapman's movie? I
know from the A one United Eating aeron Electrical TIMESAB
Traffic Center dot dot dotch she tried the story of
Lucy Chapman's.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Gonna be called she tried?
Speaker 3 (32:43):
The story is like who brought the cake?
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Storrying Lucy Chapman, Lucas says, why is it that almost
all of the women look so depressed while at the
Grammys that goes in.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
They hate themselves, They hate themselves, they hate each other,
they hate the country. They're desperately afraid people are going
to find out how really limited they are. They live
in fear of not being relevant, so they do outrageous
they say and do outrageous things. And the only way
to do and the only thing that they hate more
than themselves and each other are conservatives. I watched the
(33:18):
Grammys every year when I was a kid, and I
don't know who any of those people voted for. Liberals
hate liberals, hate themselves.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Steve Perry or Herbie Hancock's up there getting an award
for whatever, and none of them did a political speech.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I don't have any idea who Kenny Rodgers ever voted for.
You know, I watched the Grammys every year.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
What were the two dollars bills on the tables all about?
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Oh, I don't know, I don't know. Was that a thing?
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yeah, that was a thing.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
I don't know which money were they trying to put
Trump's face on. It had been funny if they handed
that out in the gift bags, so they can throw
it out in the streets and let the homeless out
there in Hollywood have some money, all right.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
I like to know who paid for Katangi Brown Jackson's
trip out to the Grammys. How did she get an invitation?
I'm and do you think it's healthy that Catangi Brown Jackson,
a member of the United States Supreme Court, is there
cheering wildly as they say defund ice. Yeah, I mean,
did the Democrats understand the problem with that? Did the
Democrats who are running for office this month understand that
(34:16):
when you advocate for the defunding of ICE, that's that's
just like defunding police. Well, we all know how that
worked out for him twenty four. Well just keep doing it, guys,
you know, keep telling people we don't care about public safety.
We all know how this whole thing works. Keep telling
people TSA agents don't matter at airports. This is a song.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
By the weekend, he was one of the previous performers
of the super Bowl halftime show. James Emails said, who
did you and Jim say yesterday was the first celebrity
to perform at the super Bowl halftime show? Well, I
didn't put it in those terms. What I said was
is the halftime show was largely marching bands and a
(34:56):
couple of feature performances, But it wasn't a concert featuring
a band or an artist until Fox Television said, Hey,
when super Bowl goes to halftime, turn over to Fox.
We're going to do a special in living color with
the Wayans Brothers and Jim Carrey and that fantastic cast
of the early nineties in Living Color Bunch, and that's
(35:19):
when the NFL and the Super Bowl people said, we're
not going to have people tuning away from our broadcast
to go watch anything else. Get me, Michael Jackson and
so in ninety three, that was the first one where
you had a real celebrity halftimes.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Yeah, that's where you had my Friend. Then, yeah, you know,
you had Disney productions, then you had the Rockets.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Well, James James says, I was telling my daughter about this.
They said, I think it was New Kids on the
Block in nineteen ninety one. Yeah, kinda, so New Kids
on the Block was part of a small world salute.
To Jim's point, twenty five years of the Super Bowl
was a Disney production and featured for a small part
(36:00):
of it and KOTV new Kids on the Block. But
if you're going to go that route, it wasn't a
New Kids on the Block concert. A few years before that,
in eighty eight, they had the eighty eight Grand Piano's
Performance featuring the Rockets and Chubby Checker.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
That was in nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
That's the first celebrity who was part of the Super
Bowl halftime show. Unless you go back to nineteen seventy
where Carol Channing did something Well.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Up with People was kind of a popular group back
in the seventies. They'd have them perform multiple times, and
they didn't make a big deal of it on television.
They usually cut to the analysts, so the guys back
in the studio, and they'd run highlights of the first half,
and so they didn't really show much of the halftime show. Actually,
I go back to seventy two New Kids on the Block,
(36:50):
nineteen ninety one game in Tampa.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
A salute to Louis Armstrong in nineteen seventy two, featuring
Ella Fitzgerald and Carol Channing. But it wasn't It wasn't
the big like, here's one of the most popular performers
in the world doing the halftime show. Until Michael Jackson
did it in nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
We haven't had we haven't had what you would call
a country music act probably since I'd say Shania Twain
and I'm trying to remember which Super Bowl was, I'm looking.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
At the whole list here. Yeah, Quinton Black and some
others did it in.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
The twenty two thousand and three After the twenty twenty
two season out in San Diego, Shania Twain performed and
that was that wasn't a super country show. That was Shanaiah.
She looked great, but she did play man, I feel
like a woman and you know, just a girl, A
message in a bottle and stuff like that. But yeah,
(37:48):
the modern era of the celebrity halftime show goes back
to ninety three.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Message into bottles because Shania Twain did that show with
no doubt and sting all kind of performing.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Some of their closes. We got. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
So if you want country music the turning Point USA
halftime show, ask your fourth grader how to find that
and do it early so you're prepared ready to go
for halftime because you start messing around with all the
different streaming services and you'll miss it. I got a
football question. I don't want to exclude Lucy Chapman. Football
(38:20):
question for either Lucy Chapman or Jim Rose. Whoever wants
to take it, can take it. You've been talking a
lot this morning about Joel Macavica. The governor said, all right,
Elizabeth O'Connor resigned as the District four representative on the
Nebraska Border regions, and so he's appointed Joel Macavica, who
I had never realized, and maybe he still doesn't have
(38:42):
a political bone in his body. I know he broke
a lot of bones as a great fullback for the
Huskers and has then tried to help them with the
various chiropractic interests and everything else physical therapy. I didn't
know that he was at all political. But my question
for either of you and Lucy feel free to take
this in thinking about the Macavica brothers and Corey Schlessinger,
(39:05):
and he certainly can go back to Tom Rathman. Is
it impossible to have an I formation option offense be
successful in today's college football game?
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Course?
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Why why? Why would it be successful? Or why isn't
it being Why why would it not be successful? Would
be okay, it would be yeah, I why don't we
or anyone?
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Why doesn't anyone do it? Because we don't have people
that know how to run it anymore? That's number one.
Don't cultivate it right. High school kids don't want to
play in that kind of an offense. Fred Petito and
his wing bone was kind of the last bastion of
that in Nebraska high school football. But now they want
to throw the ball around. They want to go to
the skills camps. Well you don't. You don't have fullbacks
(39:50):
of skills camps. You don't have quarterbacks that want to
get hit. You want quarterbacks that want to drop back
in the pocket, look over the defense and look like
they're you know, acting like Dan Marino, John Elway, and
Peyton Manning. So there are two factors. One, high school
coaches don't coach it anymore because kids don't want to
play it anymore. Two, Nebraska is getting hurt on the
(40:10):
recruiting trail with really gifted linemen when the other coach
would say, yeah, hey, son, you go to Nebraska, you
run that offense, you'll win the Island Trophy and you'll
be a fifth round draft choice. Or you can come
to our school and run a pass pro and you'll
be a first or a second round draft choice. That
was beginning to impact us, but the fact of the
(40:31):
matter remains that most offenses don't run that anymore at
the high school level or the what they call the
select travel team level, because they want a bunch of
skill guys that'll go to seven on seven camps and
catch passes in their shorts and shelves.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Well, first, I think these kids want to win football games.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
No, I really don't. They want to get paid and
they want to get to the NFL. That's the big
thing now for most high school kids.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
All right, Well, second, we allegedly have been trying to
get the guys that you've been talking about who could
have a pipeline of the NFL. Well, we're not getting
those guys anyway, or we're getting those guys and we're
not creating them into first or second round draft choices.
So if we're trying to do something and it ain't working,
it ain't waken, then how about we go back to
(41:14):
that model that Dr Tom put in effect that worked.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Well and Tom evolved. Coach Osburn was a West Coast
offense guy for years. He believed in the spread, throwing
the ball, run in motion and getting an NFL quarterback.
Dave hum was the number one high school quarterback in
the country out of Las Vegas and Nebraska got him
away from USC and Alabama and all these other schools,
and he wanted to throw the ball down the field.
(41:38):
But here's what you got. You gotta have a that
guy b You got to have receivers and see, you
got to have Lineman, and you got to have weather
that's conducive to it. And Nebraska struggled getting three of
those things. So he realized, we can win nine games,
or I can do what Oklahoma's doing and win ten
or eleven or twelve of them. And ou was in
the throes of that great stretching the seventies when teams
(42:01):
were running wishbone offenses, they were running the ball up
and down the field, and they were winning games. They
were keeping the ball away from the other guy because
their offense ground out yards and chewed up time. And
when we finally elected to go to the option offense,
we started to get really good option quarterbacks like Turner Gill,
Steve Taylor, Tommy Fraser might have heard of him, might
(42:24):
have heard him. Eric Crouch should have gotten Donovan McNabb.
But that's Danny Neiess fault. The truth is that we
were successful getting those guys because we were one of
very few schools running that offense. Tommy Fraser does not
come to Nebraska unless we're running that offense. Well, we
wouldn't want another one of hands. He was recruited as
(42:44):
a defensive back by everybody but US Clemson, notre Dame
because we wanted him to run the option here and
he only pretty much won the Heisman Trophy, just didn't
get it.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
All I know is I was talking to a longtime
Husker fan last night. He said, I look at the
Husker football schedule for next year. I see maybe five
win and if that ends up coming true, we're all.
I don't know how we're going to fall into complete apathy,
and that's worse than getting mad. All right, Lucy, I
know you've got a lot to say on this option football.
Speaker 3 (43:13):
Your thoughts?
Speaker 6 (43:14):
Is his name? Mike is his name?
Speaker 1 (43:19):
Lucy? Lucy is like, I'd like the option of not
talking about Craig mac He's a Randy mactor.
Speaker 2 (43:32):
I'm still talking about the Regents.
Speaker 3 (43:33):
Guy, Joel. He was a full back in the option
offense and it got him to the NFL.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
I'm busy.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
I know I'm only bringing I'm only bringing this up
because you know he got appointed to the Regents Super
Bowl Week footballs.
Speaker 3 (43:49):
In my mind, Joel is a very gifted guy, very
smart guy.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Ray Emails says, could you guys please do a segment
on the decommissioning to the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant
one billion dollars seems a little steep. Are consumers on
the hook for that money? Is this affecting local energy
prices one of the thing? Yes, well, yes, yes, yes, yes,
this is a previous rosie to GENOZI. The four Calhoun
(44:14):
plants been decommissioned to shut down for a decade since
another round of major once in a lifetime flooding that
we got every few years there for a while. That
shut down four Calhoun, and they said, look, natural gas
prices are low operational costs or highest too expensive to
keep the thing running. And so they spent a bunch
of time removing the fuel from the reactor that has
(44:38):
finished in May twenty twenty, and they started burying that
stuff underneath the playground of various elementary schools. So it's
all fine, Yes, I made that up, just seeing a
busy spent attention. And now they've been demolishing the buildings
and the structures and it's it's taken them five or
six years to get to this point. Yeah, the cleanup
has cost more than a billion dollars. And now how
(45:00):
the question is, well, what about energy and all the
Well I talked with the head of OPPD recently and
I asked, like, is we're just not doing nuclear powers like,
not at for Calhoun, not at that particular place. They
are shifting away from some of the stuff that has
not worked, and we spent a bunch of money on
over the last ten to fifteen years. But it'll take
(45:22):
ten to fifteen years maybe to screw some of those
heads on a little bit tighter and get us where
we need to be. It remains to be seen. None
of that's going to be solved today, but hopefully that
answers some of your questions there.
Speaker 3 (45:34):
Ray
We wake up here this morning still with no idea
where Savannah Guthrie's mommy is. Eighty four year old woman
last seeing her home there a on Tucson Saturday night.
Now authorities are like, we think that there was a
ransom note. But then there's a lot of people saying
this appears to be fake. Who in the world, when
(00:25):
looking at a family who might be dealing with the
abduction of their eighty four year old mother, says, you know,
it would be interesting. Let me get a little attention
here and just throw out there into the void a
fake ransom note. But authorities, of course have to follow
(00:46):
all these leads, which if it is a fake ransom note,
if the more they have to go pursue that and
use anyone's resources to pursue that, then they're missing going
and pursuing what might actually be happening with this woman.
But it doesn't appear to be any kind of robbery.
Here's what we do know. Her phone, her wallet, her
(01:06):
car still at her home after she vanished her electronic devices,
stopped communicating with her pacemaker about two o'clock in the
morning on Sunday, indicating she was taken around that time,
and it's you know, they got surveillance cameras at the property,
(01:26):
but so far they've yielded nothing. And I'm kind of
along the same lines as what Clay and Buck were
talking about yesterday, and that is for anyone who's like, Hey,
we're gonna we're gonna pinpoint a celebrity and we're gonna
kidnap her mom and hold her for ransom, because I
bet she's got deep pockets and the world's going to
be transfixed by this. At what point on that list
(01:49):
do you finally drop down to Savannah Guthrie, the co
host of The Today Show on NBC, Not that she
doesn't have great job, a bunch of people watch her
every single morning. But if people are like, yeah, we're
going after Guthrie, like that doesn't None of this makes
any sense. None of it makes any sense. So we're
(02:13):
back to it's either a family member or someone that
they know, or it just happened to be someone targeted
the house and thought it was a soft target. But
even in that instance, kidnapping an older woman, none of
it makes any sense. So we're of course waiting for
any kind of information on that this morning.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
And nothing was taken.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
No doesn't seem like anything was taken, wallet, car phone,
they're all still there in the house. I don't know
what else she had in there, but doesn't appear that
this was at all a robbery.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
So we've got that.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
This morning, yesterday the President was talking about the end
of the partial government shutdown. I presume that you did
the exact same thing my family did. After after the
partial government shutdown started Friday night, we just huddled around
each other and uh and and prayed and we kept
warm by candle light and uh. It was it was
(03:12):
touch and go there for a while. But then finally
when we got the news that the partial government shutdown
was over, we rejoiced.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
We were out there.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
We're wondering why our neighbors weren't also rushing out in
the streets yesterday to celebrate this occasion. I grabbed a
nurse and kissed her. She was like, I don't I
don't know who you are, what you're doing. I said,
the shutdown is over, and I thought it would be
a nice moment. I got arrested. It's it's it was
a tough few days there with the partial government shut down.
So the President's taking questions about that and now he's
(03:43):
getting questioned about Epstein by CNN Chief White House correspondent
Caitlin Collins, and it did not go well.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
You're talking about Democrats were in there. Elin Musk was
also in there, and so was your Commerce Secretary Howard
Lutnik and correspondence that he had with him. Did you
those new files that were published?
Speaker 5 (04:02):
And I have a lot of things, I'm doing you
a lot of things, and I don't know you mentioned
two names. I'm sure they're fine. I'm sure they're Otherwise
it would have been major headlines.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
A lot of women who were are survivors of Epstein's
are unhappy with those redactions that came out. Some of them,
entire witness interviews are totally blocked out.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Do you think that they thought they released too much?
I heard that, and you're telling me something else.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
So I think it's really.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Time for the country to get onto something else. You
know now that nothing came out about me other than
it was a conspiracy against me, literally by Epstein and
other people. But I think it's time now for the
country to maybe get onto something else.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
What would you say to people.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Something that people care about?
Speaker 5 (04:50):
What?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
What do you say you.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Are the worst reporter, no one to see it has
no ratings because of people like you. You know, she
he's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen
you smile. I've known you for ten years. I don't
think I've ever seen a.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Smile on it.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
You know what, He's not smiling because you know, you're
not telling me that truth. And you're a very disarmist
organization and they should be ashamed of you.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
That's how that ended, and the President moved on. And
that was the president's correspondence with White House correspondent for CNN,
Caitlin Collins. I've known you for ten years. I don't
think I've ever seen you smile. Well, mister President, I'm
asking you about survivors of sexual abuse, so I'm not
gonna have a big smile on my face.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
But she doesn't smile. If you've ever watched her, she's
got one of the stone faces of television news. But
that's beside the point. She knew what she was getting
with Trump. And when you keep pressing on Trump, pick,
this is what you get, and of course you get
an attack, you get it. You know, there's a reason
you have the lowest ratings. There's a reason nobody watches
(05:59):
you all of the personal attacks. Just keep after it, Caitlin,
this is what you get. Maybe that's what she wanted.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
But every time the president does this, the media comes
out and says, there's the long history of Donald Trump
calling women names and making fun of their appearance and
so forth, which is one hundred percent true. I am
not arguing with that, but there's also a long history
of the president calling men names and making fun of
their appearance. Dave emails via the Zonker's custom was inbox
(06:27):
Scott at kfab dot com, and I'm guarantee he never
thought I'd read this email on the air. He says,
I think you guys are wrong this morning about Trump
picking on female reporters. CNN's Caitlin Collins definitely goes to
the bathroom standing up and can hawk chaw about thirty feet. So, Dave,
(06:48):
I don't know what that says about you for sending
an email like that. I don't know what it says
about me for reading an email like that on the air,
or finding Caitlin Collins from CNN instead of pleasing I
don't know. There's a lot of self reflection that needs
to happen in the wake of Dave's email, and we'll
give that the rest of the day. But what the
(07:09):
president was ultimately upset about was, as Jim Rose was
decrying yesterday, why don't we just move on from the
Epstein files? There's nothing there and my paraphrasing.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
You accurated. Yeah, do you hear what.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Melinda French Gates though said in the wake of the
latest Epstein dump, I'm gonna tie everything in together, because
the President was saying it was clear in these emails
that Epstein had a pattern of sending emails to people
or sending like weird email drafts to himself apparently like
(07:45):
ready in an arsenal to fire off to members of
the media or other politicians to try and incriminate people
who might be able to later say, oh, I understand
the us of incriminating evidence, or you had something on me,
so let's try and broker a deal to get you
a more lenient sentence, which of course he got.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I'd love to know how that happened.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So with a lot of people, but this guy was
Epstein was sending a lot of emails to himself already
in drafts to fire off with stuff that may or
may not have been true about very powerful people. One
of those people Bill Gates. We all know Bill Gates.
He gave us he invented computers or something, so that
(08:28):
comes through a computer. Yeah, the computer was a paperweight before.
Billy Jobs was kind of the computer guy. They got
together and invented computers with Al Gore, and they invented
computers in the Internet. So Bill Gates' ex wife is
Melinda French Gates and NPR went running to her and said,
these newly released Justice Department documents suggest that maybe there
(08:54):
was some link between Epstein and your ex husband. She says, well,
he's my ex husband. I don't have anything to do
with him. That's all on him. But it looks like
these email drafts where Epstein would beg or claim Bill
Gates had contracted an std from Russian girls, begged Epstein
(09:16):
to delete related emails, and asked for antibiotics to give
to Melenda without her knowledge. So these are drafts that
Epstein wrote to himself, seemingly for someone who was supposed
to be either Bill Gates or someone who worked for
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Bill Gates has called
(09:37):
these claims absolutely absurd and completely false. The document show
Epstein's frustration the Gates kept his distance and the lengths
that Epstein would go to to entrap and defane him,
which let's presume that's true. That's the same thing that
Epstein was doing about Trump. It also then speaks to
why people would go running off to Melenda Gas. It's
(10:00):
now this had to do with the foundation that bears
her name. They haven't been divorced for all that long.
I don't know how long they've been exes. But it's
not like this other news story about an ex yesterday
where Joe Biden's wife, doctor Jill Biden, her ex husband
is now accused of murdering his wife or current wife
(10:26):
at the time, and so in December, right, so yeah,
that's right. It happened this past December, and so they
picked him up and then they go running and linking
him to doctor Jill Biden. These people haven't been married
to each other for fifty years. So it'd be like
for you, Jim, if your third grade girlfriend, Hey, it's
(10:48):
something that got in the news, all right, you're still
sensitive about it means very hot if your ex from
fifty years ago does something and then here come the media. Hey, Jim,
what do you think about what happened here with your ex? Like, guys,
I think it's terrible. It was fifty years ago.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yeah, you know, this is the thing. Joe Biden. Joe
Biden was probably a really mediocre first lady. She was
probably somebody who cared more about the maids, the planes,
the cars, the valets, the dresses, and the dinner parties
than her husband. Otherwise she wouldn't have let him run
for reelection. There's a lot a lot of question there,
(11:29):
But this stuff right here is way out of bounds.
She married. Now, this guy went public, the Stevenson guy
went public a few years back saying she cheated on
me with him. She was messing with Joe Biden before
we were divorced. Okay, well, there's two sides to every story.
But they were divorced in nineteen seventy five, and the
(11:52):
president and Joe Biden were married in nineteen seventy seven. Yeah,
you know, guess what, talk about history that doesn't count anymore.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Well, that does speak to a lot of questions regarding judgment,
the judgment of allowing your husband, the former president, to
run for reelection in that state, the judgment lady, the
judgment for being married gig, the judgment for being married
to someone who later might commit murder, and the judgment
for seeing a young Joe Biden and saying, I don't
(12:19):
care if it's wrong, I have to have me some
of that. Right, We've got Sean Callahan.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
They had a very active sex life, which is nice
to know.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Boy, I was trying to cut you off before you
went there, and I just missed it. Since Joel mcavica
got picked for the Board of Regents, do you think
his older brother, Jeff mcavicka is upset, going, Hey, what
about me?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
About me? How come his little brother might have been
the best athlete of all of them? Justin really, yeah,
whatever happened to him? Carney multiple sport guy?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Okay, well, I'm sorry I missed him out. Dad was
a really good athlete Clopers. But yeah, that's as Richard
Nixon once said about the Carpenters, that's quite a family.
This stat here is so dumb. I'm not even going
I mean, I should probably mention the business because so
often there's something like a pole that has been put
(13:09):
together by website dot com says that the most searched
or the most popular thing in your state is this,
And I'm looking at this and the only thing I
want to give them credit for is coming up with
something so stupid that it got my attention, which is
not hard and then related that information on the radio.
(13:31):
So I'll tell you what the most searched for healthy
snack to watch for the Super Bowl this Sunday is
in Nebraska and Iowa. This is people are like, I
want to watch the game on Sunday, but I don't
want to eat something like wings or d Why would anybody.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Eat something healthy during the Super Bowl. Well, there's only
one of these. So we're having a party. Everyone here.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
We want to have a healthy super Bowl snack. All
you'll be You'll have a very thinly at So the
idea is is that people are having a party, they
want to have a healthy snack option, and then they
have to go online and do a search for what
is this thing? I've heard about it? What is it?
How do I make it? And in the state of Nebraska,
that healthy snack option that people are going online to
(14:17):
search about would be hard boiled eggs. Oh I like
heart boiled eggs. I would eat hard boiled eggs for
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Not even deviled, not even doubled.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
No, it's hard boiled. No, no, and not even like
cool hand Luke style. I'll eat fifty eggs on fifty
eggs on Sunday. So the idea here is that someone's like, all,
I want to have people over the game. I want
to have a healthy snack option. Well, Madge, have you
tried hard boiled eggs? Hard boiled eggs? What are those?
How do I make them? Do I need eggs? Are
(14:51):
they egg based? Let me go online, deer Google. You
don't have to write in deer Google. All right, Google?
What are heart boiled eggs?
Speaker 7 (15:01):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I just take eggs and I put them in water.
You gotta boil the water. Oh that's the boiled part,
isn't it. By the way, if all this sounds stupid
to you, that's exactly the conversation that's going to take
place Sunday evening round about seven thirty or so, whenever
the game goes to halftime. And a lot of Americans
(15:22):
who tend to be very patriotic, they're not going to
be interested in the bad Bunny halftime show. Someone's gonna say, well,
you know, Charlie Kirk's organization that Turning Point USA has
got an alternative halftime show, and they're gonna say, well,
I'd rather watch that. I heard Jim Rose say on
the AM radio that if you're a good American, you
should not give the NFL, and they're broadcasting partner the
(15:45):
eyeballs to watch the Bad Bunny Show. Go watch the
show for real Americans. And there'll be a lot of
people who do that, But there will also be a
lot of people who are, let's face it, not technologically savvy. This,
my may or, may not be a symptom of their age.
Maybe maybe it is, maybe it's not. We'll just put
it as not technologically savvy. And so as soon as
(16:09):
the second quarter ends with the game on Sunday, the
conversation will start. You will get a phone call from
your parents. Where do we find the Charlie Kirk show. Well,
it's it's streaming. Why that I don't have streamers. I
don't have a stream I'm not getting the bunting out
until Independence days.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
There's streamers. There's a river about a mile from here,
but that's as close as I get to a stream.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I typed in Charlie Kirk into my TV and nothing
came up well, and then.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Typed in Charlie Kirk on my TV.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I shout into my remote control, hey, Siri, find the
Turning Point usay halftime show. And then you're gonna like, well,
it's either on this streamer, or it's on that, or
it's on the YouTube channel. Well I don't I don't
get YouTube, Like, well, it's call your fourth grader. They'll
find it for you.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I know.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I'm telling you, if you want to watch it on Sunday,
don't wait until the last minute to go trying to
find it. There are networks who will broadcast it if
you have the cable package that has all the channels
that includes things like one America News Network for example,
or you can find the Turning Point USA stream on
(17:17):
YouTube YouTube TV. I mean, it will be available in
some places, but there will be a lot of people
who at that time are yelling at their TV find
kid Rock, and then you're gonna have the problem of
them looking at kid Rock going I don't know who
this man is and I don't like him. Maybe they will,
maybe they won't. And there's some country music singers on
(17:39):
there as well. So just giving you a heads up,
that's what's coming up on Sunday. Oh, it's gonna be great,
a great night on Sunday. I can't wait. And if
the football game is no good and the halftime show
is no good and you can't find the turning point
USA halftime show, then at least you got hard boiled eggs.
By the way, in Iowa, the most search for healthy
snack is something called pork chop on a stick. No,
(18:03):
this is a healthy option, cowboy caviar. I see, I
had to look that up.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
It's a just a Oh that's good.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
It's a bean salad. Yeah, black eyed peas and so forth.
All right, the black eyed peas playing the halftime show?
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Yes, I would thank you to forward it to me, please, black.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Eyed peas, corn tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and cilantro. You
know what I'll eat that? Are you inviting me over
for the game on Sunday?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
You know I might just come over and hang out
with the family, because I promise you there's nothing in
that bean salad that my husband will eat well, So
I'll into beating the whole.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Thing like everything else Lucy makes.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
You'll bring it in on Monday morning and that'll sit
there on that counter until Thursday. Oh, really complain, at
which point I'll still eat it. I'm not complaining, just
saying this how it works. That's how it works around here.
This is news Radio eleven KFAB. Did you catch the
Rosie Didgenozi yesterday? It was outstanding. I gave it a
stand innovation right here in the studio And if you
(19:02):
missed it, it's on the Jim Rose podcast link at
kfab dot com. But you were directing your ire towards,
among other things, and people Billie Eilish at the Grammys
lecturing people about how no one is illegal on petulant
child on stolen land is what she said, No one
is illegal on stolen land. And you pointed out, you know,
(19:25):
she owns this multi million dollar home in the Hollywood Hills. Well,
A spokesperson for the Tongva tribe says, as the first
people of the Greater Los Angeles Basin, we do understand
that her home is situated in our ancestral land. It
(19:46):
is Eilish has not contracted our tribe directly regarding her property.
We do value the instance when public figures provide visibility
to the true history of this country. It is our
hope that in future discussions the tribe can explicitly be
referenced to ensure the public understands that the Greater Los
Angeles Basin remains Gabrielano Tongva territory. No word from Billie
(20:09):
Eilish whether she's going to open up the gates.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
She doesn't even know. Somebody wrote that for her. She
doesn't know anything about Native Indian tribes in California. She's
got a piece of property that she bought. She put
a ten million dollar house on it, with a twelve
foot wall around it, and now one of those Indians
is even coming close to the inside of that building.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I think they prefer Native America. Well, I don't think
they prefer Native Americans, Indigenous tribes and the indigenous people
of the Tongva tribe as their property. Get off, want
to go hang out in Billie Eilish's house, and by
her own words, has got to let them do it now.
The eleven to ten KFAB Certified Transmission Sports Brief. Here'ce
Jim Row.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Okay Scott at the Super Bowl. The players are living
the dream every kid who played high school or midget
football dreams of being in the super Bowl one day,
he wants to be the Super Bowl. Well, Sam Donald,
who's living that right now? And he was remembering his
first Super Bowl memory.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
I was with my Pop Warner team and we were
all we were celebrating a really good season and at
my friend's house, and we were watching Peyton Manning and
the coltsco against Rex Grossman and the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
But it makes you feel old, doesn't it. Yeah, Peyton Manning,
he has rest Grex Grossman Man. Both of them have
receiding airlines. Now. Sam Donald's have a hell of a
year for Seattle, taking this team into the Super Bowl,
trying to win it for the first time. Sports his
news on Nebraska's news Weather in traffic station Kay at
Baby News time in the morning, seven twenty three.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I saw that Donald's first Super Bowl memory involved the Bears,
and I immediately thought the eighty five games now super
Bowl Shuffle and all the rest of it. No, we
are a few years older than Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnald.
What's your first Super Bowl mind? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Wow? Uh, Well, the neighbor kids, we used to have
a super Bowl party one of the neighbor kids houses
I'd say Miami, the Vikings Super seven. I think Raiders, Redskins.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Marcus Allen going off for seventy some yards on that
Edwin run.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
He switched direction.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
That's why I became a lifelong Marcus Allen fan. All Right,
I'm a lifelong Lucy Chapman fan as well. She's a
good runner. She does great timesaber traffic.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Listen, I don't run well.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I mean, if something was chasing me, I don't.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Maybe no, you would.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Zombies.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I can outrun them, That's about it.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
If something was chasing you would say, oh, thank goodness,
the grateful relief I have been waiting for for all
the I work with Scott and gym every morning, and
all I've been waiting for is to be attacked.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
By that bear is laid down and die.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
The brothers of Renee Good and she, the woman in
the car who has Ice agents there in Minneapolis, were saying,
all right, time to get out of the car. This
has gone on long enough. And she was impeding in
ice operation, blocking the road as they were trying to
bring someone into custody, and they said get out of
the car.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
She didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
An Ice agent in front of the vehicle, she decided
to step on the gas. The ICE agent responded with gunfire.
She lost her life there, unnecessarily, in the streets of Minneapolis.
Her brothers went to Washington with a message that their
sister's killing, which they described as a murder and killed
(23:26):
in cold blood by their own government killing by an
ICE officer, has not brought the change that they'd expected.
Now it's still illegal to drive a vehicle at law
enforcement in this country. I guess they wanted that legal.
What else they wanted was, they said, a sweeping overhaul
(23:49):
of Department of Homeland Security policies, including mandatory body cameras
for ICE agents. The ICE agent in front of the
vehicle was wearing a body camera, and even though people
saw it, what they saw in that video was more
dependent on who they voted for in twenty twenty four
than anything else. They also wanted an end to masking
(24:09):
that conceals officers' identities, so that the people it's they're
calling these guys murderers, killing citizens and cold blood kidnapping children,
and we want to know who they are so we
can go get them. Why in the world would they
want to conceal their identities when there's a wild, violent
(24:30):
mob in some cases like Alex pretty armed to the
hilt that are looking for them, why would they want
to protect their identities and that of their families. By
the way, several cars followed ICE officials through South Minneapolis
yesterday after there were reports aka rumors, AKA it doesn't
(24:51):
work like this. We saw this here in Omaha. There's
rumors that ICE is going door to door looking for
people with even so much as a decent tan so
they can throw them in the van and take them
to Uganda. It's it's fake. Look, ICE agents don't go
door to door asking if there's anyone illegal in your home.
(25:11):
The sheer waste of time, manpower, and by the way,
even if they had the man power and they thought
that was a good idea, so they come to your house,
anyone illegal in there? Uh no, no, okay, they said, no,
all right, we're what about your neighbor's house? Uh yeah,
the neighbor that won't return my power tools, the neighbor
(25:34):
who I know is having a Super Bowl party on
Sunday and didn't invite me. Yes, they're all illegal. Go
over there, locked and loaded. This is the stupidest thing anyway, rumors,
fake news of ICE agents going through South Minneapolis yesterday
knocking on doors of homes. We're here for your children.
(25:55):
So several cars started following the ICE officials and stop
their vehicles and impeded whatever investigation that they were engaging in.
So officers then get out of their vehicles and they
ordered the activists to get out of their car that
was blocking traffic. They did so while drawing their weapons.
(26:18):
Agents told reporters at the scene, oh, don lemon out.
Agents told reporters at the scene to stay back and
threaten to use pepper spray. So some people got arrested.
There was a guy wearing an anti ICE message on
his clothes. I wonder how elegant that message was. Did
he learn it by watching the Grammys? They saw him handcuffed,
(26:40):
face down the ground. ICE agents had their guns drawn.
No one got shot. This is good, this is better.
And as that's going on there in Minneapolis, we have
a judge in Oregon saying that federal officers ICE are
temporarily barred from using tear gas at protesters outside the
(27:03):
Portland Immigration Building. So if you are engaged in hampering
a law enforcement operation, if you are actively impeding or
threatening or chucking stuff at ice officials. This judge said,
you guys can't use tear gas, and he didn't say
use bullets, and said they're just apparently supposed to take it.
(27:27):
The judge limited offers from firing munitions at the headnecked torso, face,
shoulder hairline unless the officer is legally justified in using
deadly force against that person. Well, ask the protesters, would
you rather provoke the officer until deadly force is necessary
(27:48):
or would you rather get the tear gas warning? I
know what I would choose, but I'm not going out
and trying to impede law enforcement. Fantastic weather here through
next week, and I don't really see it getting it
all that terrible right after that. So I don't know
if you start planning your geraniums at this point or
(28:09):
your mum's your chrysanthemums, Lucy.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Can you spell chrysanthemum.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
See r wysum.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah, so it's very close closer than I could get.
Can you spell Milania?
Speaker 7 (28:24):
No?
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Have you seen the documentary?
Speaker 6 (28:27):
Not yet?
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Are you gonna watch it? Yes? As you know.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
This past weekend they released the documentary film Milania. The
Guardian is among those that offered up a review and
they gave it one star. Well, they just corrected themselves
and they said, we're very sorry. This almost never happens.
There was a formatting issue. The reviewer actually meant to
(28:51):
give this zero stars. Oh, okay, okay, and so therefore
it's it has zero intrinsic value. It's an insipid propaganda piece.
And just in case you're wondering who they perhaps voted
for in the presidential election, they call Malania a button
eyed Cinderella, distracting viewers with luxury, as Trump and his
(29:16):
allies scheme in the background.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
What that's what they're luxuries, right, because no other first
lady is indulged in luxuries.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
So I just love the idea that you know, they like.
She gets like opening up doors, and Trump's like.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Shut the door.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
We're talking about getting Maduro. Oh sorry, we're talking about
kidnapping babies and killing citizens. You know, he and Christine
Noam and Stephen Miller are back there conspiring, and Milania
is like, oh, nothing to see here.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Shut the door. Malania Trump took a step down in
luxury when she entered the White House. You know, the
idea that she's she made some sort of massive sacrifice
is actually true because she had a much more luxurious
lifestyle in Trump Tower than she has in the White House.
Why because you don't have cameras following in her around
at Trump Tower mar A Lago you do in the
(30:07):
White House.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
So now the IMDb, the Internet Movie database, lists Milania
as one of the worst reviewed movies of all time,
which ties Kirk Cameron Saving Christmas. And I don't know
if that's a good movie. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
I think I actually enjoyed that movie. I saw that
movie because I said, you know what it's if it
gets this much of a critical review, I gotta watch it.
But you know how this works.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
All of the people who hate everything true political, and
that includes Kirk Cameron because he has the audacity to
be he's a stand up Christian Christian. I have Christianity
all over both sleeves, not just one sleeve, but wearing
it all over my sleeves and my pants and this hat.
That's Kirk Cameron. And so all the people who hate
that kind of thing go on there and they give
(30:51):
it zero star reviews and like this makes any difference
to anybody. So the Guardian has issued a press release
saying we apologize for the formatting era formatting issue error.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
It meant to get zero stars? Now is it rated
lower than my movie?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
IMBD? What movie is that Twelfth Victim? The Twelfth Victim?
Speaker 3 (31:12):
You know I have credits on that movie, that that
showtime special. I thought you were the star of terms
of endearment, and now I was in terms of endearment.
But I didn't have a speaking role. But in the
Twelfth Victim you hear the voice of Rosie.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
That's right, you were the voice on the broadcast radio.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
That was the radio announcement looking for Charlie stock While
kind of typecast, but I acted very well. Yeah, no,
I got the gig. It was highly competitive.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Who produced that for you? To help you get that role? Actually,
Scott Vorhees was in the studio. Did I get a
portion of the credits? Did I get any money?
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Now?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
I just wanted to be listed in the credits credits,
some sort of you know, assistant to assistant, Yeah, assistant
to mister Rose.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I just wanted.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
I mean, the credits go on for they. I can't
get an assistant to mister Rose credit. I'm gonna talk
to my agent.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Let me see if I can make a couple of calls.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Lucy, are you my agent? Lucy gave up on this
conversation three minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
No, to the first part, definitely to the second part.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Okay, Lucy should have been in the movies, Luke, Oh, yeah,
she should, Well something what movies?
Speaker 2 (32:23):
See? That's the problem. You can say, Bill in the
blank should have been in the movies to anybody?
Speaker 1 (32:29):
What would be the name of Lucy Chapman's movie? I
know from the A one United Eating aeron Electrical TIMESAB
Traffic Center dot dot dotch she tried the story of
Lucy Chapman's.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Gonna be called she tried?
Speaker 3 (32:43):
The story is like who brought the cake?
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Storrying Lucy Chapman, Lucas says, why is it that almost
all of the women look so depressed while at the
Grammys that goes in.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
They hate themselves, They hate themselves, they hate each other,
they hate the country. They're desperately afraid people are going
to find out how really limited they are. They live
in fear of not being relevant, so they do outrageous
they say and do outrageous things. And the only way
to do and the only thing that they hate more
than themselves and each other are conservatives. I watched the
(33:18):
Grammys every year when I was a kid, and I
don't know who any of those people voted for. Liberals
hate liberals, hate themselves.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Steve Perry or Herbie Hancock's up there getting an award
for whatever, and none of them did a political speech.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I don't have any idea who Kenny Rodgers ever voted for.
You know, I watched the Grammys every year.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
What were the two dollars bills on the tables all about?
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Oh, I don't know, I don't know. Was that a thing?
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yeah, that was a thing.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
I don't know which money were they trying to put
Trump's face on. It had been funny if they handed
that out in the gift bags, so they can throw
it out in the streets and let the homeless out
there in Hollywood have some money, all right.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
I like to know who paid for Katangi Brown Jackson's
trip out to the Grammys. How did she get an invitation?
I'm and do you think it's healthy that Catangi Brown Jackson,
a member of the United States Supreme Court, is there
cheering wildly as they say defund ice. Yeah, I mean,
did the Democrats understand the problem with that? Did the
Democrats who are running for office this month understand that
(34:16):
when you advocate for the defunding of ICE, that's that's
just like defunding police. Well, we all know how that
worked out for him twenty four. Well just keep doing it, guys,
you know, keep telling people we don't care about public safety.
We all know how this whole thing works. Keep telling
people TSA agents don't matter at airports. This is a song.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
By the weekend, he was one of the previous performers
of the super Bowl halftime show. James Emails said, who
did you and Jim say yesterday was the first celebrity
to perform at the super Bowl halftime show? Well, I
didn't put it in those terms. What I said was
is the halftime show was largely marching bands and a
(34:56):
couple of feature performances, But it wasn't a concert featuring
a band or an artist until Fox Television said, Hey,
when super Bowl goes to halftime, turn over to Fox.
We're going to do a special in living color with
the Wayans Brothers and Jim Carrey and that fantastic cast
of the early nineties in Living Color Bunch, and that's
(35:19):
when the NFL and the Super Bowl people said, we're
not going to have people tuning away from our broadcast
to go watch anything else. Get me, Michael Jackson and
so in ninety three, that was the first one where
you had a real celebrity halftimes.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Yeah, that's where you had my Friend. Then, yeah, you know,
you had Disney productions, then you had the Rockets.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Well, James James says, I was telling my daughter about this.
They said, I think it was New Kids on the
Block in nineteen ninety one. Yeah, kinda, so New Kids
on the Block was part of a small world salute.
To Jim's point, twenty five years of the Super Bowl
was a Disney production and featured for a small part
(36:00):
of it and KOTV new Kids on the Block. But
if you're going to go that route, it wasn't a
New Kids on the Block concert. A few years before that,
in eighty eight, they had the eighty eight Grand Piano's
Performance featuring the Rockets and Chubby Checker.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
That was in nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
That's the first celebrity who was part of the Super
Bowl halftime show. Unless you go back to nineteen seventy
where Carol Channing did something Well.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Up with People was kind of a popular group back
in the seventies. They'd have them perform multiple times, and
they didn't make a big deal of it on television.
They usually cut to the analysts, so the guys back
in the studio, and they'd run highlights of the first half,
and so they didn't really show much of the halftime show. Actually,
I go back to seventy two New Kids on the Block,
(36:50):
nineteen ninety one game in Tampa.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
A salute to Louis Armstrong in nineteen seventy two, featuring
Ella Fitzgerald and Carol Channing. But it wasn't It wasn't
the big like, here's one of the most popular performers
in the world doing the halftime show. Until Michael Jackson
did it in nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
We haven't had we haven't had what you would call
a country music act probably since I'd say Shania Twain
and I'm trying to remember which Super Bowl was, I'm looking.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
At the whole list here. Yeah, Quinton Black and some
others did it in.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
The twenty two thousand and three After the twenty twenty
two season out in San Diego, Shania Twain performed and
that was that wasn't a super country show. That was Shanaiah.
She looked great, but she did play man, I feel
like a woman and you know, just a girl, A
message in a bottle and stuff like that. But yeah,
(37:48):
the modern era of the celebrity halftime show goes back
to ninety three.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Message into bottles because Shania Twain did that show with
no doubt and sting all kind of performing.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Some of their closes. We got. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
So if you want country music the turning Point USA
halftime show, ask your fourth grader how to find that
and do it early so you're prepared ready to go
for halftime because you start messing around with all the
different streaming services and you'll miss it. I got a
football question. I don't want to exclude Lucy Chapman. Football
(38:20):
question for either Lucy Chapman or Jim Rose. Whoever wants
to take it, can take it. You've been talking a
lot this morning about Joel Macavica. The governor said, all right,
Elizabeth O'Connor resigned as the District four representative on the
Nebraska Border regions, and so he's appointed Joel Macavica, who
I had never realized, and maybe he still doesn't have
(38:42):
a political bone in his body. I know he broke
a lot of bones as a great fullback for the
Huskers and has then tried to help them with the
various chiropractic interests and everything else physical therapy. I didn't
know that he was at all political. But my question
for either of you and Lucy feel free to take
this in thinking about the Macavica brothers and Corey Schlessinger,
(39:05):
and he certainly can go back to Tom Rathman. Is
it impossible to have an I formation option offense be
successful in today's college football game?
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Course?
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Why why? Why would it be successful? Or why isn't
it being Why why would it not be successful? Would
be okay, it would be yeah, I why don't we
or anyone?
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Why doesn't anyone do it? Because we don't have people
that know how to run it anymore? That's number one.
Don't cultivate it right. High school kids don't want to
play in that kind of an offense. Fred Petito and
his wing bone was kind of the last bastion of
that in Nebraska high school football. But now they want
to throw the ball around. They want to go to
the skills camps. Well you don't. You don't have fullbacks
(39:50):
of skills camps. You don't have quarterbacks that want to
get hit. You want quarterbacks that want to drop back
in the pocket, look over the defense and look like
they're you know, acting like Dan Marino, John Elway, and
Peyton Manning. So there are two factors. One, high school
coaches don't coach it anymore because kids don't want to
play it anymore. Two, Nebraska is getting hurt on the
(40:10):
recruiting trail with really gifted linemen when the other coach
would say, yeah, hey, son, you go to Nebraska, you
run that offense, you'll win the Island Trophy and you'll
be a fifth round draft choice. Or you can come
to our school and run a pass pro and you'll
be a first or a second round draft choice. That
was beginning to impact us, but the fact of the
(40:31):
matter remains that most offenses don't run that anymore at
the high school level or the what they call the
select travel team level, because they want a bunch of
skill guys that'll go to seven on seven camps and
catch passes in their shorts and shelves.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Well, first, I think these kids want to win football games.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
No, I really don't. They want to get paid and
they want to get to the NFL. That's the big
thing now for most high school kids.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
All right, Well, second, we allegedly have been trying to
get the guys that you've been talking about who could
have a pipeline of the NFL. Well, we're not getting
those guys anyway, or we're getting those guys and we're
not creating them into first or second round draft choices.
So if we're trying to do something and it ain't working,
it ain't waken, then how about we go back to
(41:14):
that model that Dr Tom put in effect that worked.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Well and Tom evolved. Coach Osburn was a West Coast
offense guy for years. He believed in the spread, throwing
the ball, run in motion and getting an NFL quarterback.
Dave hum was the number one high school quarterback in
the country out of Las Vegas and Nebraska got him
away from USC and Alabama and all these other schools,
and he wanted to throw the ball down the field.
(41:38):
But here's what you got. You gotta have a that
guy b You got to have receivers and see, you
got to have Lineman, and you got to have weather
that's conducive to it. And Nebraska struggled getting three of
those things. So he realized, we can win nine games,
or I can do what Oklahoma's doing and win ten
or eleven or twelve of them. And ou was in
the throes of that great stretching the seventies when teams
(42:01):
were running wishbone offenses, they were running the ball up
and down the field, and they were winning games. They
were keeping the ball away from the other guy because
their offense ground out yards and chewed up time. And
when we finally elected to go to the option offense,
we started to get really good option quarterbacks like Turner Gill,
Steve Taylor, Tommy Fraser might have heard of him, might
(42:24):
have heard him. Eric Crouch should have gotten Donovan McNabb.
But that's Danny Neiess fault. The truth is that we
were successful getting those guys because we were one of
very few schools running that offense. Tommy Fraser does not
come to Nebraska unless we're running that offense. Well, we
wouldn't want another one of hands. He was recruited as
(42:44):
a defensive back by everybody but US Clemson, notre Dame
because we wanted him to run the option here and
he only pretty much won the Heisman Trophy, just didn't
get it.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
All I know is I was talking to a longtime
Husker fan last night. He said, I look at the
Husker football schedule for next year. I see maybe five
win and if that ends up coming true, we're all.
I don't know how we're going to fall into complete apathy,
and that's worse than getting mad. All right, Lucy, I
know you've got a lot to say on this option football.
Speaker 3 (43:13):
Your thoughts?
Speaker 6 (43:14):
Is his name? Mike is his name?
Speaker 1 (43:19):
Lucy? Lucy is like, I'd like the option of not
talking about Craig mac He's a Randy mactor.
Speaker 2 (43:32):
I'm still talking about the Regents.
Speaker 3 (43:33):
Guy, Joel. He was a full back in the option
offense and it got him to the NFL.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
I'm busy.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
I know I'm only bringing I'm only bringing this up
because you know he got appointed to the Regents Super
Bowl Week footballs.
Speaker 3 (43:49):
In my mind, Joel is a very gifted guy, very
smart guy.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Ray Emails says, could you guys please do a segment
on the decommissioning to the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant
one billion dollars seems a little steep. Are consumers on
the hook for that money? Is this affecting local energy
prices one of the thing? Yes, well, yes, yes, yes, yes,
this is a previous rosie to GENOZI. The four Calhoun
(44:14):
plants been decommissioned to shut down for a decade since
another round of major once in a lifetime flooding that
we got every few years there for a while. That
shut down four Calhoun, and they said, look, natural gas
prices are low operational costs or highest too expensive to
keep the thing running. And so they spent a bunch
of time removing the fuel from the reactor that has
(44:38):
finished in May twenty twenty, and they started burying that
stuff underneath the playground of various elementary schools. So it's
all fine, Yes, I made that up, just seeing a
busy spent attention. And now they've been demolishing the buildings
and the structures and it's it's taken them five or
six years to get to this point. Yeah, the cleanup
has cost more than a billion dollars. And now how
(45:00):
the question is, well, what about energy and all the
Well I talked with the head of OPPD recently and
I asked, like, is we're just not doing nuclear powers like,
not at for Calhoun, not at that particular place. They
are shifting away from some of the stuff that has
not worked, and we spent a bunch of money on
over the last ten to fifteen years. But it'll take
(45:22):
ten to fifteen years maybe to screw some of those
heads on a little bit tighter and get us where
we need to be. It remains to be seen. None
of that's going to be solved today, but hopefully that
answers some of your questions there.
