Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, let's Wednesday morning here and we are Nebraska's morning News.
Let's talk about the news across Nebraska and beyond this morning.
I'm Scott Borhees with that novel idea more piercing insight
like that. Throughout the next four hours, I got Lucy
Chapman right here, Craig Evans as well, Jim Rose too.
We're here on news radio eleven ten kfab kind of
(00:23):
going around the horn. It wasn't that the glove in
the Nancy Guthrie case did not contain DNA connected to
the potential kidnapper. It's that the DNA in the glove
didn't match any DNA in the house, which would make
sense if he were wearing gloves in the house the
(00:44):
entire time, and it didn't match a hit in the
FBI's COTIS system. This is where if you committed horrible,
heinous crimes or I don't know, I always wonder if
when you got your I don't think kids do this anymore, Lucy,
did you have to do a thumb print? Did they
(01:06):
have to get a print of your thumb? Like in
grade school, I remember we all had to line up
go out of the principal's office and the uh and
the principal said, we just need some uh some fingerprint samples,
you know, and in case you get you get lost
or kidnapped, or we want to implicate you in some
(01:26):
sort of crime here around the office or school. Uh here,
So put your thumb on this this inkpad and then
press it down on this piece of paper we had.
We had to do a whole fingerprint thing. I don't
know if kids do that anymore, but uh no, So
whatever whatever DNA well we had to.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Boyd Elementary didn't make us do that.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Well. I also was in school at the time of
the Jubbert situation, so that might have been like, what
else can we do to the The DNA and the
glove didn't match any hit in any of the federal databases.
So that's the latest from Tucson. As a Fox News
reporter said yesterday, he said, I wouldn't go so far
(02:10):
as to say we're back at square one, but the
square we're in here is in the very low single digits.
In Nebraska, the legislature is said, we need to pass
bills laws here in Nebraska to make sure that ice
can't go into schools without a judicial warrant. We want
a warrant signed by a judge right now. Some of
(02:32):
these warrants that ICE is working off on our administrative
in nature, not judicial in nature. There is a difference.
One's definitely easier to get than the other. But the
entire premise of what they're talking about, the unicameral is
an absolute fantasy. They're talking about. Well, you know, Ice
went up and had fought with faculty and students up
(02:54):
in Minneapolis. I'll give you more details on that case
coming up here in about six minutes, and we'll have
more with sports brief in ten minutes. But first, Jim Rose,
give me some glimmer of hope here. This Nebraska basketball
team has been playing most of the season with zero pressure.
(03:15):
It seems that they are definitely feeling the pressure and
the totality of our Husker expectations as fans right now
weighing on them. Is this a good time in the
season to have this slide, to feel what this feels like,
or are we looking at a problem?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
No, I summarily reject your preface. I don't believe that
they are under pressure. I think they're getting guarded. They
are going up against physical teams in the Big Ten Conference.
And if you look at the game against Illinois and
this game last night, Nebraska's getting guarded. Okay, I mean
we had more hand action last night than prom night. Okay,
it was wild all game long. And give Isola credit.
(03:57):
But you went to prom by yourself just going on
anecdotal evidence. Okay, Well, it doesn't mean that what you
said is not true. Yeah, look, I'm a keen observer
of the human condition. But let's not be distracted. It
was a really great defensive game plan. And Iowa does
not have a bunch of NBA guys. They got one
and he's big league. Then it starts his first round
(04:20):
draft choice.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Twenty five points for starts last night. Very tough twenty
five points.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
But the issue is, and this is what Nebraska's gonna
run up against the rest of the season and in
the NCAA tournament. They are not a great rebounding team.
So they have got to find a way to get
open shots. They got to find a way to get
curls and screens so that Bryce Sanford gets open shots,
Sam Heuberg gets open shots, Kal Jacobson gets open shots,
(04:46):
and then they got to knock him down but it's
not a physical team.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
That is Nebraska's chink this year. More with the Jim
Rose and Sports brief here coming up in about seven
minutes or so, you'll even hear a few words from
coach Fred Hoiberg. Come here on Nebraska's Morning News. Didn't
go to prom. You went to prom by yourself. Prom
night a lot better than years. I bet, I bet
(05:09):
you're right. So what are these these people, these people
doing at the Nebraska Unicameral. The latest thing here is
they're saying, well, we want if ICE is going to
be going into schools and fighting with teachers and students
like they did at Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis, we
want them to have a warrant signed by a judge.
(05:31):
All right, let's take a look at what State Senator
George Dungan of Lincoln when he said, we have to
have this requirement so that teachers faculty know exactly what
to do. What would you do if ICE came to
your school, Because you know what's happening right, High profile
ICE operations in Minnesota have involved agents in conflict with
(05:53):
students and teachers. At Roosevelt High School, Here's what happened
at Roosevelt High School. Ice was in a pursuit of
a criminal. The criminal was fleeing ICE and led them
on a five mile chase. He eventually decided, Hey, a school,
I don't think ICE can go there. They know, so
(06:15):
he saw that that school grounds as base, like when
you're playing hide and seek as a kid, I'm on base.
You can't touch me. So is ICE attempted to protect
the public. Now, exactly what happens if this guy goes
into school firing it up like Yosemite. Sam and the
teacher and the ICE agents are out there standing outside
the school grounds going, hey, you told us we can't
(06:37):
do anything here. We're waiting for a judge sana Wara.
Then of course they'd be Pillar Reid for that, rightly.
So so is ICE attempted to protect the public by
apprehending this criminal. Teachers and students went out and started
attacking ICE agents, chucking stuff at him, throwing paint on them.
It was a horrible scene, and it was started when
(06:59):
a tea decided to go out there in like one
on seven start trying to fight ICE agents. Is that
what we're trying to protect against. Senator Dungan of Lincoln
because what you said is happening in schools across this
country has not been happened. It doesn't happen. Ice is
(07:20):
not going into schools like people are looking around, going, hey,
what happened to that guy? He was sitting next to
me in third period and then we went to lunch
and we came back and he's gone, yeah, Ice snucking
it out of there like ninjas and plucked him out
of the school. That's not happening. That's just one of
the things that they're complaining about at the unicamer They
(07:42):
also want them to take off their masks and all
the rest of the stuff going on there. Will cover
that certainly throughout the morning. An issue that's never going
away right now. The eleven ten KFAB Certified Transmission Sports Brief.
Here's Jim rows Okay Scott Well.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
A basketball game broke out of a prize fight last
night at Carver Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa fifty seven,
number nine, Huskers fifty two. This was as tough a
defense as the Huskers have seen all year, which is
explained by Iowa's current position as the number one rated
defense in the Big Ten Conference. Here's coach Fred Hoibert.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
The physicality overwhelmed us. You looked at the first half,
you know, nineteen to six on the glass, and you know,
listen when they take away passes like that, somebody's got
to put the ball in the deck and make a play.
The few shots we did get, unfortunately didn't knock him down.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
The only guy who did make a play was Bennett Sturtz,
the All Conference point guard for the Hawkeyes. He looks
like an NBA player, he plays like an NBA player.
He scored twenty five.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
It's fun, man. You gotta embrace it. And that's what
I do and I love it.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
So it's a big victory for the Hawkeyes last night,
but it also exposed Nebraska to a problem that's not
going away, and that is this ball club is not physical.
It is not built to be physical. It has difficulty
rebounding the basketball. So other teams they get really, really tough,
especially in and a man defense, could cause Nebraska trouble.
The Huskers went six minutes, nearly six minutes without a
(09:07):
field goal in the second half of last night's game.
Going to take on the Penn State Nitney Lions in
Lincoln on Saturday, Top twenty five college basketball last night,
there were a couple of upsets. NC State takes out
number twenty North Carolina eighty two to fifty eight, Rhode
Island upset number nineteen, Saint Louis SMU upsets number twenty one. Louisville,
Ohio State in the Big Ten beat number twenty five
(09:29):
Wisconsin eighty six to sixty nine, and Arizona State upset
number thirteen Texas techs seventy two to sixty seven. Michigan
State defeated UCLA last night, final score eighty two to
fifty nine. In this game, UCLA coach Mick Cronin ejected
his own player after a hard foul. He grabbed his
(09:50):
own player, Steven Jammerson, a former Michigan State player who
transferred to UCLA, grabbed him by the jersey and yanked
him out of the game and sent him to the
locker room. Has that ever happened in college basketball or
any sport before? I don't think so. The officials has
just whistled him for a hard foul. Cronan pretty much
made that a flagrant fowl and kicked the guy out
(10:12):
of the game. I don't know that Mick Cronin is
a fit for UCLA basketball on a number of levels.
But it was pretty clear last night. Yeah, that was
a moment that you're never ever going to see. Let's
talk about the Olympic Games. We had a unique moment
in the women's short program figure skating. Amber Glen of
(10:32):
the United States attempted a triple axel and she nailed it.
But then she planned a triple loop only did a
double loop. The judges scored her a zero out of
a possible seven points, which sent her reeling from a
medal to thirteenth place, And of course she was reduced
to tears, as most of the figure skaters have been.
(10:52):
They call this an invalid element. But a lot of
Americans think that we're getting jobbed by the officials at
the Olympic Game. Stay, wrestling's going on down there the
Chi Center. We'll talk about that and when we get
together again in about twenty minutes, kaybe news time of
the morning, six twenty four.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Do the wrestlers have to take off their masks too?
Like ice agents? Do the wrestlers have to take off
their masks? I imagine a lot of them go in
there wearing masks. They got to protect their identity and
make them scarier, especially great tag team partners. You know,
you get some of those guys and you know they
introduced from parts unknown. Things like that. Well, the masks
(11:27):
on This.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Legislation in the Nebraska Unicamera will require all wrestlers to
remove their masks before they enter the right.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
That's scary. I want to know who I'm wrestling. Okay,
I'm Scott Vorhees aka not Gary Sadlemeyers. Here on news
radio eleven ten kfab this is hilarious. You know how
if you ever got your picture taken with Jeffrey Epstein
at any point in history, it's like, oh hey, there's
(11:57):
a wealthy finance year over here at this point and
he wants to get a picture taken with you. Okay,
let's get a picture. Very nice to meet you. You
doing all right? Here's a picture. That picture lives on
and infamy and people look at it and go, he
knew knew he was in on it. He was part
of that ring. We know they got their picture taken together.
That means everything. Now, the same people who make that
(12:20):
argument are exactly the same people who, through zero shred
of their own self hypocrisy, are taking a look at
the pictures taken of Donald Trump and Jesse Jackson. They've
been posted now because President Trump he threw me for
(12:41):
a major loop yesterday. President Trump has done a rather
distasteful thing lately where someone dies who's on the political
left in this country, and Trump just trashes them after
they die. And I'm like, the guy made movie, He's
lay off, what are you doing? You know, the rob
(13:02):
Ryiner thing. It was gross. So Jesse Jackson dies and
then finally I get the KFAB newsletter yesterday afternoon says
Trump has responded to the death of Jesse Jackson. And
with one eye squeezed shut and the other one barely open,
I'm wincing, clicking the thing, going what did he say?
(13:23):
Here's what he said, Basically, Jesse Jackson not only a
good man, like one of the greatest men in history.
And they worked together very well over the decades together,
and he was a force of nature and a wonderful
guy and hated Barack Obama. And I'm like, wait what.
(13:44):
And there's pictures posted of them, you know, from back
in the eighties and nineties. Here Trump and Jesse Jackson smiling,
shaking hands and the same people who will see say
a picture of Trump and Epstein and go, oh, yeah,
he knew they were. They in on it. Absolutely, we
know what this means. Are looking at the picture as
a Trump and Jesse Jackson going oh, look, who's trying
(14:07):
to rewrite history. Just because you post a picture with
the guy doesn't mean you were friends, doesn't mean he
liked you, doesn't mean he wanted anything to do with you,
and maybe at the time maybe he probably even know
who you were. This means nothing. Kettle, pot, pot, kettle.
How are we doing you guys getting along? Did you
have a nice Valentine's Day? These people are shameless.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
You're applying logic where logic will not stick.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I know, but I'm I'm still gonna make the attempt.
I have a feeling that, based on the sheer numbers
of people who breathlessly hang on our every word here
on eleven to ten kfab, there might be a few
people that go, oh, you know what, Scott's right. He's
never been right before, but on that one, I think
(14:55):
he got it. So I'm gonna keep trying. That was
a pretty funny tribute, though yesterday, didn't you think that
Trump was just gonna start blasting away the Reveren Jackson.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Well, that would be the character or that would be
more in character of president.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, it's it's pretty funny. I'm trying to find the
here we go truth social post. Oh, he's posting a
bunch of pictures. This one looks like AI. I thought
this one was like, No, this one's actually pretty pretty recent.
There's pictures of them in the eighties. Pictures of them
apparently not too long ago. Yeah, but he he said,
(15:40):
he alleged that Jesse Jackson hated And here's how Trump
put it, Barack Hussein Obama and the reason why Trump
and others will use the man's full name former President Obama.
You know you know it's his name is because apparently
Obama doesn't like it when you call him by his
(16:02):
full name. We know you mean by that you're trying to, Hey,
it's your name. Childish, completely childish, kind of funny, mostly
childish kind of.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Funny, and we kind of expect that.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, seems like Warren Buffett may or may not have
bought The New York Times. Well, Berkshire Hathaway did. The
question is whether or not Warren was orchestrating the move.
Jim Rose thinks he knows exactly what happened here.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Oh, he declared he's out at the end of the year.
It's not Greg Abels company. He's just chairman. He's not
making any decisions anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Well, see, here's the thing. The quarterly stock portfolio filings
did not make clear whether Buffett made some of these
recent moves, like the purchase of the New York Times
three hundred and fifty million dollar investment. There also there
was an increase in the investment of Chevron that was
(16:59):
before President and Trump ordered the arrest of the President
of Venezuela and they sold off some of the Bank
of America and Apple shares. So the Associated Press says
doesn't make clear whether Buffett made these moves or one
of the other investment managers did. Buffett generally handled any
investments worth more than a billion dollars, so the paltry
(17:22):
three hundred and fifty million dollars they parted with for
the Times would not make it part of that threshold,
but obviously handed over the CEO title to Greg abel
after sixty some years of leading Berkshire Hathaway. The acquisition
of The Times is interesting because when he started selling
(17:43):
off some of the newspapers they own, including the Omaha
World Herald. He said that the newspaper industry was, to
quote Warren Buffett at the time toast that was just
a few years ago. But even then, he said, maybe
some of these national papers like the Walls Street Journal
or the Times could still do well. It's noted that
(18:04):
the New York Times isn't just telling you what happened
yesterday in a print edition or what's going on now
in the online. But a lot of people use the
New York Times not for news and sports information. They
use it for the wordle and I'm the fun game
(18:24):
that you can do it on your phone. You don't
need the New York Yeah, but and you see it
a quick ad. Sometimes you see five seconds of an
ad before you do it. I'm not a I've never watched.
In fact, I came and think, oh, Curb Your Enthusiasm.
But after Richard Lewis, the comedian who was on Curb
Your Enthusiasm with Larry David and that crew, I was
(18:45):
looking up some sound bites and found one where he
and Larry David are walking along and I think this
is just one of the most bland funny lines ever
Richard Lewis starts off the conversation going, yeah, solved the
word again today, as though this were a major accomplishment. Yeah,
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Well maybe the athletics. Funny, maybe they bought the New
York Times for the Athletic, which is the online sports newspaper.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That's another one. They've got that platform there very well,
that's done very very well, twelve million digital subscribers.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
But I don't know about I don't know about the paper.
And you're right, one hundred and fifty million for the
New York Times. They spent two hundred and fifty million
on the Omaha World Herald. That was a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
But I think perhaps I have found that tied to
the most recent case where someone who is a gender
fluid persuasion who has committed a crime with a firearm,
which is largely being ignored by the media that quickly
seizes upon the oh, we have a pattern here. We've
(19:47):
got this person who did this, and then this person's
kind of like this person, they did the same thing.
We got to take guns away when it comes to
those who are gender fluid in nature who are committing
gun crimes, those people who usually kind of come after
your guns and say we need common sense gun legislation
and these people are domestic terrorists. Been very very quiet
(20:08):
here on this disturbing. I don't even know if you
do so much as to call it a trend. I'm
not going to do that. I am going to say
with absolute certainty that if we had five white guys
wearing MAGA hats here recently commit gun crimes, the media
(20:29):
would be beating that drum. They'd have to put new
skin over at the top of that drum. They would
just be beating holes through that drum constantly. You know it,
I know it. But how do we get the media,
how do we get people to pay attention to this story?
At a Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Perhaps this the white guy
who also identifies as a white woman in the case
(20:53):
they're at the hockey game, also goes by the last
name Esposito. Clear where this person got the name Esposito.
It's not like he got married to someone and then
took that name. It's just a name that he used.
So now maybe we'll get some people here on the
(21:13):
political left in this country to pay some attention if
we can tag this individual with cultural appropriation Hey, you're
not an s. You can't just declare yourself esposito now,
unless you're that that hump from Texas. Uh, who's the
guy in Texas keeps running for office, never getting elected anything,
(21:34):
who was born super white but assumed a Hispanic name
to try and get elected out of Texas. He ran
for Senate a couple of years back. Oh, Beta, Yeah, Beto, Beto,
what's his what's his real name? It's not Beto.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I think it's Arthur. No, it's something like that. Beto
is one of those people that is utterly forgettable.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Right. Uh so, yeah, so we have a few more
details though. In this case, there at the hockey game here,
apparently they're saying this was targeting family members. He killed
his ex wife and son. I guess it was his
son who was the hockey player. They killed his ex
(22:15):
wife and son as people were diving for cover, and
a bunch of people there at this hockey game rushed
the shooter to stop the attack. Now, I saw some
of these posts on social media who said, well, I
think probably this guy who dresses as a woman and
goes to his kids hockey games probably got tired of
(22:36):
all these you know, testosterone laden, macho hockey dads making
fun of this guy, and that's why he went in
there to shoot them. That's not the case. That's not
what happened. There was no indication beforehand there'd be violence
at the rink. People said, yeah, he'd been to a
lot of hockey games to watch family members play. No incident,
not a big deal. But he suddenly started firing there
(23:01):
in the stands, and there were several good Samaritans were
able to tackle him, but in that melee, he was
able to reach for a second firearm and shoot himself.
Gender identity was a contributing factor according to court filings
and why he and his wife got a divorce. His
ex wife said that gender reassignment surgery and narcissistic personality
(23:24):
disorder were reasons for filing. Well, that last one is
probably a reason for filing in a lot of divorce cases.
And this individual, the shooter, had been posting on social
media that using his wife's name, there hate that I
(23:49):
don't know, going after people involved with his ex wife.
I don't know. But he did talk about trans hate
on social media, posting anti transgender posts by people like
Alex Jones and saying that criticism of transgender people is
(24:09):
why we go berserk. Former military worked at a ship
building facility there in Maine, and colleagues said, yeah, he
sometimes would talk about his family. One coworker said his
ex wife really never came up in conversation, but he
talked about his hockey playing son. A lot identified as
(24:33):
a woman named Roberta used the women's restroom, and they
also said that sometimes he had a bad temper that
would lead to screaming matches with colleagues. As I've said
several times here on the radio, someone as an adult
decides they want to be a different person somehow, Hey
(24:58):
go down that path. See where leads you. My issue here,
and this is not just about being transgender, as I
think a lot of people are sold a false bill
of goods. If you do this, if you assume this
persona whatever that might be, then your life is going
to be infinitely better. And then it's not. And the
(25:19):
same activists or bad crowd that said, yeah, join this gang,
use this drug, be transgender whatever, the same activists who
recruited you to that cause suddenly abandon you when it's realized, like,
oh well, this was a big mistake and then you've
got no one there, and you were saying I thought
(25:40):
if I did this, I'd be happy, and you're not.
That's a dangerous place to be. All Right. While I'm
sitting here being very judgmental this morning, let's throw this
in there as well, as we're just a couple of
minutes away from sports brief involving, among other things, high
school girls wrestling. This is something that has it starts
it off twenty some years ago where you had a
(26:03):
couple of girls in high school who wanted to wrestle,
and they all, right, we'll let you wrestle. But they
were wrestling against guys. Some guys said, I'm not going
to wrestle a girl. That's a no win proposition. You
do it out on the street corner. It's fellowly rape.
So now there are so many girls that wrestle that
they wrestle each other, and so you got that as
a category and they're wrestling each other, and okay, I
(26:24):
still it seems to me, since I'm being judgmental, it
just seems.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
If what if your daughter came to you dad and said, Dad,
I want to wrestle. How do you handle that big,
big guy you want to wrestle girls or girls wrestling team.
I would not allow my daughter to wrestle on a
boys team.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I don't know. I don't know. I don't girls, whether
it's UFC fighting, wrestling, that kind of thing. Here. I
I'm a bit old school pigheaded. I guess. I don't.
I don't. I don't really get it. If it's my daughter,
I don't know, but I can tell you. I can
tell you this though. If my son had to wrestle
(27:06):
a girl, I'd say, you're not wrestling her. That's not
how you treat a lady. Me neither, you know. But
enough girls wrestle each other. Enough the girls want to
go in there and wrestle each other. I'm not going
to sit here and go this is an abomination. I
might find it still a little different than what I
was accustomed to growing up, but.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Well, I'm a big advocate of sports for girls. So
if my daughter came to me and said, Dad, I
want to wrestle on the girls wrestling team, It's not
exactly what I had in mind when she came out
of the womb, But I go, you know what, sports
are great for girls? I mean, in a social media
age where every teenage girl compares herself to Ariana Grande.
(27:44):
This is a very, very healthy pursuit. So I would
be more than supportive if I had a daughter or
a granddaughter who wanted to wrestle. But I got to
tell you, it's not exactly feminine. But they're very good.
They're very athletic, they are committed, they are in shape,
they go through rigorous training, and God bless the folks
(28:06):
who coach them. Because girls wrestling has only been around
I think five years in Nebraska high school wrestling, I
think it has been sanctioned for five years. So they've
gone out and gotten a lot of kids to go
out for girls wrestling. And it's healthy for girls. Yeah,
and they want to wrestle each other. Fine, I'm just
so glad we've gotten away from girls wrestling boys.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
We can't. That's under no conditions that happen. I've received
a number of emails like this over the last couple
of weeks, and I get it, but I'm going I'm
going to free you here over the next few moments.
I'm going to free you. It's okay. Now. This email
unsigned basically is looking at the Savannah Guthrie case and
(28:48):
referring to it as empathy porn. He says, am I
missing the point. Well, I'm not cold hearted enough not
to care about an eighty four year old lady apparently
being kidnapped, But this story would not garner one percent
of the attention were it not a lib media Darling's
(29:08):
mother and that goes on to talk about it. There's
a lot of people throughout look. Okay, yes, it is
true that the media and the American people cannot cover
every single thing to the full extent that they cover
one thing over another. And certainly there is a lot
(29:29):
of racial bias that is accused of being on the
table when we have situations like this and both sides.
If we're going to say black and white here, meanwhile
there's people of other races going we would give anything
to be included in some of these stories. But usually
(29:49):
it ends up being this fight of not really even
about black and white people. It's usually the fight among
white people and then guilty white people who en end
up battling. Well, how come because if a person is
white and missing, they get more attention, whether it's Savannah
Guthrie's mom, or whether it's Gabby Petito or Lacy Peterson
(30:13):
or Elizabeth Smart or something like that. If a white
person goes missing, everyone stop what they're doing. We have
to pay attention because the white person is missing, and
we don't have the same situation for people of color.
And then you get the other accusation. If law enforcement
shoots and gills someone who has a person of color,
(30:36):
that will be the number one story in the news
for a long time. Meanwhile, during the time that the
news is saying white cops shot a black guy, there'll
be a number of white cops, black cops, all cops
shooting white people. It does happen, I won't get all
the attention, and people are like, well, hey, how come
(30:58):
this is a bigger deal. Shh, It's okay, be cool,
my babies, It is all right. I am freeing you
from whatever you're feeling here in the Nancy Guthrie story.
If you're glued to it, if you're waiting for information,
if you're like, what about the glove. There was DNA
(31:19):
and the glove. Yeah, the DNA and the glove did
not match any DNA collected from inside her house. It
didn't match anything in federal records. It moved us no Further,
if you're interested in that kind of thing, there's a
lot of that news. If you're not interested in it, Okay,
there's probably a number of things that happen in the
news every single day that perhaps don't interest you. You're
(31:42):
welcome to during those moments where they're reporting on those things,
and I go back in time and sing your favorite
song to yourself for the forty five seconds or so
that's being reported. There are a lot of great songs
out there. I mean, that's what you think I should do? Yeah,
eat it from Weird Al Yankovic comes to mind. You
could just do that for her. Yeah, that's a class moment.
That's fine, that's Rogers and Amerstein. I just I can't help.
(32:05):
But I mean, first of all, when it comes to
this Savannah Guthrie thing, everyone's got mom and you think
about how what did you feel in this moment? Have
you thought have you stopped to think about? Anytime the
phone rings or someone comes into the room, Savannah Guthrie
is bracing for either the best or worst news possible.
(32:25):
The best news we found her. She's on vacation with
some guy she met online. That's what she says. She's
sorry she forgot to tell you she got carried away.
Worst news is obvious. Every single time someone comes into
the room to talk to her, she is bracing herself.
Where's she supposed to be right now? She's supposed to
be in Italy doing some Olympic coverage, eating great food,
(32:47):
going to the best parties. I can't imagine what this
is like for her.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Well, but there are six hundred thousand people that disappear
every year in this country. Yep, eight hundred thousand, So
that years there five hundred ninety nine nine hundred nine
nine other Savannah Guthries out there who don't get the attention.
They don't get the prayers and the hopes and the
and the best wishes of millions and millions of people.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
It's tragic.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
This one is a little unusual, and maybe there was
not great work done by the Pima County Sheriff early
on in this investigation. But there is a reasonable argument that, Okay,
we're making a big deal out of Savannah Guthries' mom,
what about all these other people who disappear every year.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Here's my comfort that I try and give them. If
you feel like, hey, no one's paying attention to my
case the local law Enforcementever, no one's paying attention.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Well, the President of the United States threatening the death
penalty for somebody who took my mom.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Everyone's paying attention to this case in Tucson, and they're
no closer to finding someone than they are in your case.
In you know, bf E, no one they don't have
they don't have drones overhead. In your case, they don't
have the FBI and the president and people glued to this,
and they haven't gotten anywhere either. So well, one of
the things take some weird level of comfort in that,
(34:02):
I suppose.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
One of the things it does proof Scott is that
in law enforcement will tell you this in many cases,
it's about good luck. We got lucky. You recall they
apprehended Timothy McVeigh within a few hours after the bombing
of the Murrah Federal building, long before the kind of
technology we have now, because they got lucky. They found
(34:23):
a piece of that van with a serial number on it.
They were able to trace that.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
But at the.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Same time, a sheriff, a literally a county sheriff, pulled
a guy over near Guthrie, Oklahoma, and held him for
about two or three hours. He holds him for an
hour McVeigh gets away. There was just so much good
fortune in the quick solving of that case, and this case,
(34:50):
it doesn't look like the FBI, or the Pima County
Sheriff's Department or the State Patrol in Arizona has gotten
a break.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Well, I'm interested in the story. I'm not spending every
single a waking moment on the radio on it, and
I'm obsessed with it. I'm not obsessed with it. I'm
obsessed with this story. I'm interested. I disappointed. I am
not obsessed with the Nancy Guthrie case, as Jim Rose
has accused me of being. A thought or two though
has materialized in my brain. One. You know, they're checking
(35:18):
all the DNA on these gloves because people within a
ten mile radius of the home there in Tucson keep
finding these discarded gloves in the desert, and apparently there
are a lot of discarded gloves in the desert. Can
you imagine if he're in Omaha. They said a woman's missing,
and we found some DNA at the scene, and we
saw the guy on the ring door bell camera and
(35:41):
he was drinking one of those fireball shooters and then
he took off and so we're looking for anyone to
find a discarded fireball shooter bottle on the streets of
Omaha somewhere and contact the authorities that we wouldn't have
the manpower in China to be able to take all
of those people and put them to the number of
discarded fireball shooters in this town to start trying to
(36:03):
find DNA on them. They're everywhere. I can't walk without
being waist deep and discarded fireball shooters. And that's just
from my body deep. Yeah, and that's just from my
buddy Mike. You can throw those things away in a
trash can. That's just in your neighborhood. I know they're everywhere. Now.
The other thing is I talked about this a week
ago where they found that glove. You have hikers.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
You have thousands and thousands of hikers, and they drop
everything from their keys to their phone, to their gloves,
to their hat to.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Their water bottle. That's like a veritable dump for stuff. Now,
let's consider this for a moment. Let's say that they
never find anyone, including Nancy Guthrie, what the media? At
some point, the interest is going to wane, The media
is going to go away. The FBI is going to
go away? Then what cold case? Then what I mean?
This happens a lot, there is avan I'll be back
(36:52):
on the Today Show trying to struggle through my gosh.
Can you imagine There's there's a great song by Yes,
there is a great song by bare Naked Ladies called Helicopters,
and it's about, you know, how something happens in a town,
small town, and here comes the media and all the attention,
and here's the guy who kind of saw it and
tells the media his story and gets a lot of
(37:14):
attention for it, and then it all kind of goes
away and he leaves. And then then what does he do?
Like I keep trying to tell people the story, they
don't care anymore. And that's kind of what it feels
like for some of these towns when you get this
glaring media attention.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
I say, we get Nick Shirley down there, deputize him.
If he could find two billion dollars in fraud in
Minnesota up against all those Democrats, he can find missus Guthrie.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Now you're thinking, see you're obsessed with this story. Interesting dynamic.
Now in the House of Representatives, all the Democrats want
this guy to go, and Don Bacon is speaking out
against a fellow Republican known as the Hebrew Hammer. All right,
let's dive in see what this is this is about. Who
(38:00):
are we talking about. It's a congressman who's a first
termer out of Florida named Randy Fine. Congressman Randy Fine
saw some posts by a pro Palestinian activist. Fine is
Jewish and has spoken out quite a bit against obviously
(38:24):
terrorism and defense of Israel. He has earned the nickname
that I don't think he shies away from the aforementioned
Hebrew Hammer. So Congressman Fine sees a pro Palestinian activist
who makes a complaint about dog owners not cleaning up
after their pets in New York City. He goes on
(38:50):
Twitter x and says a major Muslim leader in NYC
is calling for dogs to be forbidden because they bother
some Muslims. The mainstream Muslims make us choose between keeping
our dogs and them going home. The choice is easy.
(39:10):
Among those criticizing him are as I said, Nebraska's second
District Congressman Don Bacon, who says, quote, I appreciate Randy
Fine for many things, but I don't agree with this.
We should be respectful to others. All right, let's try
and figure out.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Who's the person he wants us to be respectful to.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Uh when he says others, others just others. Yeah, he
would like us to be rescirited.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
That's pretty blanket. I mean, I would agree with him
just on that, yeah, blanket statement.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Right, I don't. I don't know this person who made
the initial complaint. Now, I know, among some practitioners of
the Islamic faith, dogs are considered on some level unclean.
This has been misconstrued a little bit here and there,
(39:59):
probably because of a conversation from the nineties film pulp
fiction dot Dogs and hing pigs and I don't eat
dogs neither. Now, the if a person a certain sect
of the Islamic faith even touches a dog or comes
into contact with dog hair, you've got to clean yourself
(40:21):
like an obsessive compulsive disorder kind of thing. There's a
whole ritual that goes along with it. So maybe some
of what is in there about hey, you know, pick
up after your dog. They are Muslims who consider it unclean.
They're not the only ones who feel that way. I
would like you to clean up after your dog. And
(40:43):
I am not Muslim, so I don't understand necessarily why
it even was framed as a Muslim issue. But the
person did say, and this often is not reported in
the media response to Randy Fin's comments, that the person
did say that it bothers Muslims when your dogs are
out there and making a mess. So he says, look,
(41:06):
if dogs should be forbidden because they bother some Muslims,
if mainstream Muslims make us choose between keeping our dogs
and them going home, the choice is easy. Well, this
is a false premise. No one is saying, let's hold
a vote who should go your pet scraps or every
(41:28):
single Muslim who doesn't like dogs. That is not a vote.
That's not something about which we are talking. I don't
know why this guy felt the need to respond. He
could have let it go. He didn't. And now for
that vote, yeah you would. Well, we'll see what the
Congress does with it. But the Congress is already saying,
(41:48):
here's HIKEM. Jeffries, the House minority leader, says, if we
come into power in the midterm elections, then we will
hold him who he's describing Islamic phobic, disgusting in an
unrepentant bigot. Will hold him accountable through disciplinary action. We'll
(42:09):
whip him like a dog. He didn't say that last part.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
It feels a little overboard.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
To what the response. Oh well, anytime you get all
I mean, a Republican says something, all the Democrats hate it,
and then the media goes running to Don Bacon, what
do you think about what this Republican said? I don't
like it. All right, we have bipartisan agreement. This guy
is a pig, which, by the way, is not exactly
what Don Bacon said. We got to get the congressman
(42:40):
back here on the show. Rod responding with the knee
jerk reaction we usually get here when we bring up
the name Don Bacon has sent this and said Fried Bacon,
tell Bacon to stfu. We're sick of that loser. All right,
thank you, Rod. What does that mean? It means he
would like him to be quiet, So Rod, thank you
for that email. Greg says I have a solution for
(43:02):
any revenue shortage in Omaha. It might also allow property
taxes to be reduced. Just as we have a restaurant tax,
I suggest we have a coffee shop tax i drove
by one hundred twentieth in Center yesterday, and there's yet
another coffee shop going up on the old Famous Dave's site.
There's one practically on every freaking corner and notough already?
Speaker 2 (43:26):
How big is that coffee shop?
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Well?
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Filling up an entire Famous Daves.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
One hundred and twentieth in Center? Was there a famous Daves?
There was one of a hundred, well hundred twentieth in
l is where you had. That's a parking, that's a dirt.
Apparently they're doing a coffee shop there. I think he
means l So all right, well, then don't don't get
their coffee. I don't know. I don't know what to
(43:52):
tell you. I do like a coffee shop that has
live music. I like going in there and hearing someone
over there plucking away an acoustic guitar, howling a little bit.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
As long as it's not me playing that guitar.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Oh. I wait in line to get hot chocolate because
I don't drink coffee. I'm the only person in the
history of getting up early in the morning who does
not drink coffee. But I like caffeine. I don't drink
pop either, So what do I do. There's a series
of injections directly into the eyeball after our sports update.
Speaker 3 (44:24):
I have a question for you. You're a smart guy. You
have a degree from the University of Nebraska.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
Carney, Okay, can we do that at eight thirty five?
Or are you gonna You seem like you're gonna ask
me now? Is it just a yes no answer? We
can No. It's not that we'll forget it's ask me.
Speaker 3 (44:38):
It's it's not a yes no answer, And that's why
we have to take real time for it.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Ask me and we'll see if it's a yes no
or if it needs more time at ay? Right now? Yes?
What is the deal with the seven bruised coffee? Oh?
I have no idea. There are lines I know, sneaking
around the block. Deal at any hour of the day.
I don't know anytime a business opens. This seems like
people lose their minds. Hey, they got coffee in there?
Speaker 3 (45:02):
Yeah, there are only fifty other thousand places, even in Fremont,
where you can get a cup of coffee on a
drive through. What makes this one so special?
Speaker 1 (45:10):
I know it's the same thing when like a Chick
fil A opens up and people are like, I will
sit here for eighteen hours to get a chicken sandwich. Meanwhile,
there's three places across the street to sell chicken sandwiches.
No one's in the drive through. Gotch you like, I
don't know. That's one I can't answer, no matter how
much time you give me. Now, Greig Evans just gave
you some of the story we talked about a little
(45:31):
bit this week. This was a viral video here in
Omaha that showed these guys out there doing burnouts, cookies, donuts,
use whatever culinary delight you want to describe, get in
your car, hitting the accelerator, turning the wheel, and then
flying around and try to do circles and put skid
(45:52):
marks there all over the parking lot of local businesses
that show up the next morning and say, what I
gotta to clean up the parky, I just painted all this.
It's awful. It's happening all over town. And in this
particular instance, guy was in a pretty sweet car at
twenty twenty two orange Chevy Camaro spinning that thing around orange. Yeah,
(46:16):
it was like that cool burnt orange color. So he
spins that thing around and the back end of it
ends up knocking this woman like through the air like
bo Jackson just hit a line drive home run. She
goes flying feet up in the air, head crash into
the ground, into the water, spectacular beyond center field. Yeah,
(46:37):
I mean she cleared the center field lying on this
one and then was lying there in a heap on
the ground, not moving, and then the video ended. So
we don't know. Douglas County Sheriff Aaron Hanson said, we
don't know if she's alive or dead. We'd like to
talk to her, certainly like to find out who's responsible.
So what we didn't see was she was able to
(47:00):
I guess at some point get up. She has talked
to the sheriffs. She received injuries to her head, shoulder,
and ankle. She received medical treatment, briefly lost consciousness. And
what we also didn't see was the driver of that
car took off likely number leaving the scene of a
personal injury accident, failure to render aid, wilful reckless driving.
(47:25):
So you just slam them into this girl with your car,
send her flying through the air, leave her in a heap.
I guess, look back and go, I guess it's time
for me to leave and take off. They have found
this guy, nineteen year old street racer. They've arrested a
few different people. Now, what we're also digging into here
(47:46):
is we've got a couple of people arrested nineteen years old,
twenty two years old, and the Douglas County Sheriff's Office
says these guys have known interactions with law enforce. The
guy in the car that hit the girl, this nineteen
year old kid sixth known traffic interaction with law enforcement.
(48:08):
Previous offenses range from stop signed violations to reckless driving,
to speeding, to no plates, failure to provide proof of
financial responsibility. What does that mean in insurance? So a
speed racer blowing through stop signs without no insurance, no plates,
got a pretty sweet car. I don't know what a
twenty twenty two Camaro is going for right now, but
(48:30):
that's probably a mid to upper twenties, if not low
thirties if you're tricking it out in this car looked
pretty pretty hot. So where does he get the money?
I don't know. I don't know that he's got a
real sweet job and extra money there. And then the
twenty two year old, well, see here we got twenty
twenty one speed racing one hundred and eighty days probation
(48:51):
twenty twenty four flight to avoid arrest arrest in that case.
So look, some people say, why don't you guys get
over it? So a few people are kind of speeding,
weaving and out of cars. Hey, what's the big deal.
These are criminals. It's it's a regular activity involving a
bad element and hanging out at these things or being
(49:12):
a part of them. Is it's easy to find you.
Everyone can hear you with your cruddy mama all over town,
and the law enforcements out there trying to track you down,
and they're bringing in some bad guys into custody. Well,
we seem to have.
Speaker 3 (49:28):
A lot of problems with cars these days. There was
the incident in Fremont. Now this and did you see
what happened out in Grand Island yesterday? A guy was
driving across town, went across an area with some junior
high kids or some older kids that were protesting, and
they threw something at his car.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
Yeah, that happened on Monday when they decided to leave
Grand Island Senior High School. And then they're parading around
anti Ice and now they're on the grounds near the
nearby elementary elementary school. A guy is there to pick
up a kid, and then they throw stuff at his car.
Speaker 3 (50:06):
He gets out of his car and tease off with
one of these dudes. From what I saw on the video,
he got nailed pretty good. He was bleeding from the mouth,
and they a bunch of other kids surrounded him. Now,
thankfully he didn't escalate into what could have been another
Rodney King episode or Reginald Denny follow up to Rodney King,
(50:26):
the episode you remember that from the early nineteen nineties.
But this is what's happening now. Where are the adults, Okay?
Who was at the elementary school? Who in charge of
the elementary school wasn't out there, who didn't call police
and say we got something going on out here we
should not have.
Speaker 1 (50:44):
Where are the adults in the room. And it's a lawful,
peaceful protest until it's not right. And so some guy
says he didn't appreciate their anti ice science. They decide
to start chuck throwing stuff at his truck, and then
they found out, like, all right, you want to mess
around with me, you're gonna go after my vehicle? About
peace teenagers, a peaceful protest, yes, is protected, but it
(51:08):
has to be organized, and don't they have to have
some kind of permitting to do so. I don't know
if that's the case, if there's a city ordinance in
Grand Island that requires that, maybe not. But what we're
seeing in this instance, Scott, and this is the bigger point.
Where are the adults around these kids? We're talking either
high school kids or middle school kids, or elementary school kids,
(51:30):
daycare kids, whatever it is. Shouldn't there be some sort
of supervision by people in charge? And right now, maybe
they're there and I don't see them, but I don't
see a whole lot of supervision going on with kids,
and that to me is a trouble. Jois until these
schools say, look, I heard there's a we're walking out
of school to go protest ice today. No you're not.
(51:53):
Until the teachers say, funny, all the teachers are having
a major test in eighth period to day. If you're
not there, they're gonna fuck it. You're gonna have hard
time passing this class. Until they really get serious about this,
this will continue to happen. These kids no more care
about the protest du jure than they do about something
going on on the planet Venus. They just want to
(52:14):
walk out of class, goof off, get on video, yeah,
and maybe fight some people. So I'll add this to
the mix here in a segment that is quickly becoming
the plot of Grumpy old Men three this story here
or not. I just think that there should be some
adult super video. I am. I'm all about protests, I am,
and I want kids.
Speaker 3 (52:33):
I want kids to know what it's like to protest
if you don't like what's But there has to be
rules that get followed.
Speaker 1 (52:38):
And that's my problem. I'm a grumpy old man and
I have been since I was a kid. So then
you have this case. This happened overnight one thirty in
the morning today downtown. Fourteen year old boy gets shot.
Police have taken a twenty two year old individual in custody.
They're not even sure if this is the guy. They're like, look, well,
this is a bad deal. What's a fourteen year old
(53:00):
doing out at one thirty in the morning. Where's mom
and dad on that one? What? What in the world
It's a Tuesday night, Wednesday morning. What's this kid doing out?
If you can't do the eighteen years, don't put in
the fifteen minutes. See, this is what it would have
happened when I was a kid. So it's a school night,
(53:21):
it's Tuesday night. I sneak out of the house. Whatever,
I get shot. You know what, my dad says, serves
you right, it deserved it, and maybe I'll shoot you
in the other leg. What do you think you're doing.
Well, let's Wednesday morning here and we are Nebraska's morning News.
Let's talk about the news across Nebraska and beyond this morning.
I'm Scott Borhees with that novel idea more piercing insight
like that. Throughout the next four hours, I got Lucy
Chapman right here, Craig Evans as well, Jim Rose too.
We're here on news radio eleven ten kfab kind of
(00:23):
going around the horn. It wasn't that the glove in
the Nancy Guthrie case did not contain DNA connected to
the potential kidnapper. It's that the DNA in the glove
didn't match any DNA in the house, which would make
sense if he were wearing gloves in the house the
(00:44):
entire time, and it didn't match a hit in the
FBI's COTIS system. This is where if you committed horrible,
heinous crimes or I don't know, I always wonder if
when you got your I don't think kids do this anymore, Lucy,
did you have to do a thumb print? Did they
(01:06):
have to get a print of your thumb? Like in
grade school, I remember we all had to line up
go out of the principal's office and the uh and
the principal said, we just need some uh some fingerprint samples,
you know, and in case you get you get lost
or kidnapped, or we want to implicate you in some
(01:26):
sort of crime here around the office or school. Uh here,
So put your thumb on this this inkpad and then
press it down on this piece of paper we had.
We had to do a whole fingerprint thing. I don't
know if kids do that anymore, but uh no, So
whatever whatever DNA well we had to.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Boyd Elementary didn't make us do that.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Well. I also was in school at the time of
the Jubbert situation, so that might have been like, what
else can we do to the The DNA and the
glove didn't match any hit in any of the federal databases.
So that's the latest from Tucson. As a Fox News
reporter said yesterday, he said, I wouldn't go so far
(02:10):
as to say we're back at square one, but the
square we're in here is in the very low single digits.
In Nebraska, the legislature is said, we need to pass
bills laws here in Nebraska to make sure that ice
can't go into schools without a judicial warrant. We want
a warrant signed by a judge right now. Some of
(02:32):
these warrants that ICE is working off on our administrative
in nature, not judicial in nature. There is a difference.
One's definitely easier to get than the other. But the
entire premise of what they're talking about, the unicameral is
an absolute fantasy. They're talking about. Well, you know, Ice
went up and had fought with faculty and students up
(02:54):
in Minneapolis. I'll give you more details on that case
coming up here in about six minutes, and we'll have
more with sports brief in ten minutes. But first, Jim Rose,
give me some glimmer of hope here. This Nebraska basketball
team has been playing most of the season with zero pressure.
(03:15):
It seems that they are definitely feeling the pressure and
the totality of our Husker expectations as fans right now
weighing on them. Is this a good time in the
season to have this slide, to feel what this feels like,
or are we looking at a problem?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
No, I summarily reject your preface. I don't believe that
they are under pressure. I think they're getting guarded. They
are going up against physical teams in the Big Ten Conference.
And if you look at the game against Illinois and
this game last night, Nebraska's getting guarded. Okay, I mean
we had more hand action last night than prom night. Okay,
it was wild all game long. And give Isola credit.
(03:57):
But you went to prom by yourself just going on
anecdotal evidence. Okay, Well, it doesn't mean that what you
said is not true. Yeah, look, I'm a keen observer
of the human condition. But let's not be distracted. It
was a really great defensive game plan. And Iowa does
not have a bunch of NBA guys. They got one
and he's big league. Then it starts his first round
(04:20):
draft choice.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Twenty five points for starts last night. Very tough twenty
five points.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
But the issue is, and this is what Nebraska's gonna
run up against the rest of the season and in
the NCAA tournament. They are not a great rebounding team.
So they have got to find a way to get
open shots. They got to find a way to get
curls and screens so that Bryce Sanford gets open shots,
Sam Heuberg gets open shots, Kal Jacobson gets open shots,
(04:46):
and then they got to knock him down but it's
not a physical team.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
That is Nebraska's chink this year. More with the Jim
Rose and Sports brief here coming up in about seven
minutes or so, you'll even hear a few words from
coach Fred Hoiberg. Come here on Nebraska's Morning News. Didn't
go to prom. You went to prom by yourself. Prom
night a lot better than years. I bet, I bet
(05:09):
you're right. So what are these these people, these people
doing at the Nebraska Unicameral. The latest thing here is
they're saying, well, we want if ICE is going to
be going into schools and fighting with teachers and students
like they did at Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis, we
want them to have a warrant signed by a judge.
(05:31):
All right, let's take a look at what State Senator
George Dungan of Lincoln when he said, we have to
have this requirement so that teachers faculty know exactly what
to do. What would you do if ICE came to
your school, Because you know what's happening right, High profile
ICE operations in Minnesota have involved agents in conflict with
(05:53):
students and teachers. At Roosevelt High School, Here's what happened
at Roosevelt High School. Ice was in a pursuit of
a criminal. The criminal was fleeing ICE and led them
on a five mile chase. He eventually decided, Hey, a school,
I don't think ICE can go there. They know, so
(06:15):
he saw that that school grounds as base, like when
you're playing hide and seek as a kid, I'm on base.
You can't touch me. So is ICE attempted to protect
the public. Now, exactly what happens if this guy goes
into school firing it up like Yosemite. Sam and the
teacher and the ICE agents are out there standing outside
the school grounds going, hey, you told us we can't
(06:37):
do anything here. We're waiting for a judge sana Wara.
Then of course they'd be Pillar Reid for that, rightly.
So so is ICE attempted to protect the public by
apprehending this criminal. Teachers and students went out and started
attacking ICE agents, chucking stuff at him, throwing paint on them.
It was a horrible scene, and it was started when
(06:59):
a tea decided to go out there in like one
on seven start trying to fight ICE agents. Is that
what we're trying to protect against. Senator Dungan of Lincoln
because what you said is happening in schools across this
country has not been happened. It doesn't happen. Ice is
(07:20):
not going into schools like people are looking around, going, hey,
what happened to that guy? He was sitting next to
me in third period and then we went to lunch
and we came back and he's gone, yeah, Ice snucking
it out of there like ninjas and plucked him out
of the school. That's not happening. That's just one of
the things that they're complaining about at the unicamer They
(07:42):
also want them to take off their masks and all
the rest of the stuff going on there. Will cover
that certainly throughout the morning. An issue that's never going
away right now. The eleven ten KFAB Certified Transmission Sports Brief.
Here's Jim rows Okay Scott Well.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
A basketball game broke out of a prize fight last
night at Carver Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa fifty seven,
number nine, Huskers fifty two. This was as tough a
defense as the Huskers have seen all year, which is
explained by Iowa's current position as the number one rated
defense in the Big Ten Conference. Here's coach Fred Hoibert.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
The physicality overwhelmed us. You looked at the first half,
you know, nineteen to six on the glass, and you know,
listen when they take away passes like that, somebody's got
to put the ball in the deck and make a play.
The few shots we did get, unfortunately didn't knock him down.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
The only guy who did make a play was Bennett Sturtz,
the All Conference point guard for the Hawkeyes. He looks
like an NBA player, he plays like an NBA player.
He scored twenty five.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
It's fun, man. You gotta embrace it. And that's what
I do and I love it.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
So it's a big victory for the Hawkeyes last night,
but it also exposed Nebraska to a problem that's not
going away, and that is this ball club is not physical.
It is not built to be physical. It has difficulty
rebounding the basketball. So other teams they get really, really tough,
especially in and a man defense, could cause Nebraska trouble.
The Huskers went six minutes, nearly six minutes without a
(09:07):
field goal in the second half of last night's game.
Going to take on the Penn State Nitney Lions in
Lincoln on Saturday, Top twenty five college basketball last night,
there were a couple of upsets. NC State takes out
number twenty North Carolina eighty two to fifty eight, Rhode
Island upset number nineteen, Saint Louis SMU upsets number twenty one. Louisville,
Ohio State in the Big Ten beat number twenty five
(09:29):
Wisconsin eighty six to sixty nine, and Arizona State upset
number thirteen Texas techs seventy two to sixty seven. Michigan
State defeated UCLA last night, final score eighty two to
fifty nine. In this game, UCLA coach Mick Cronin ejected
his own player after a hard foul. He grabbed his
(09:50):
own player, Steven Jammerson, a former Michigan State player who
transferred to UCLA, grabbed him by the jersey and yanked
him out of the game and sent him to the
locker room. Has that ever happened in college basketball or
any sport before? I don't think so. The officials has
just whistled him for a hard foul. Cronan pretty much
made that a flagrant fowl and kicked the guy out
(10:12):
of the game. I don't know that Mick Cronin is
a fit for UCLA basketball on a number of levels.
But it was pretty clear last night. Yeah, that was
a moment that you're never ever going to see. Let's
talk about the Olympic Games. We had a unique moment
in the women's short program figure skating. Amber Glen of
(10:32):
the United States attempted a triple axel and she nailed it.
But then she planned a triple loop only did a
double loop. The judges scored her a zero out of
a possible seven points, which sent her reeling from a
medal to thirteenth place, And of course she was reduced
to tears, as most of the figure skaters have been.
(10:52):
They call this an invalid element. But a lot of
Americans think that we're getting jobbed by the officials at
the Olympic Game. Stay, wrestling's going on down there the
Chi Center. We'll talk about that and when we get
together again in about twenty minutes, kaybe news time of
the morning, six twenty four.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Do the wrestlers have to take off their masks too?
Like ice agents? Do the wrestlers have to take off
their masks? I imagine a lot of them go in
there wearing masks. They got to protect their identity and
make them scarier, especially great tag team partners. You know,
you get some of those guys and you know they
introduced from parts unknown. Things like that. Well, the masks
(11:27):
on This.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Legislation in the Nebraska Unicamera will require all wrestlers to
remove their masks before they enter the right.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
That's scary. I want to know who I'm wrestling. Okay,
I'm Scott Vorhees aka not Gary Sadlemeyers. Here on news
radio eleven ten kfab this is hilarious. You know how
if you ever got your picture taken with Jeffrey Epstein
at any point in history, it's like, oh hey, there's
(11:57):
a wealthy finance year over here at this point and
he wants to get a picture taken with you. Okay,
let's get a picture. Very nice to meet you. You
doing all right? Here's a picture. That picture lives on
and infamy and people look at it and go, he
knew knew he was in on it. He was part
of that ring. We know they got their picture taken together.
That means everything. Now, the same people who make that
(12:20):
argument are exactly the same people who, through zero shred
of their own self hypocrisy, are taking a look at
the pictures taken of Donald Trump and Jesse Jackson. They've
been posted now because President Trump he threw me for
(12:41):
a major loop yesterday. President Trump has done a rather
distasteful thing lately where someone dies who's on the political
left in this country, and Trump just trashes them after
they die. And I'm like, the guy made movie, He's
lay off, what are you doing? You know, the rob
(13:02):
Ryiner thing. It was gross. So Jesse Jackson dies and
then finally I get the KFAB newsletter yesterday afternoon says
Trump has responded to the death of Jesse Jackson. And
with one eye squeezed shut and the other one barely open,
I'm wincing, clicking the thing, going what did he say?
(13:23):
Here's what he said, Basically, Jesse Jackson not only a
good man, like one of the greatest men in history.
And they worked together very well over the decades together,
and he was a force of nature and a wonderful
guy and hated Barack Obama. And I'm like, wait what.
(13:44):
And there's pictures posted of them, you know, from back
in the eighties and nineties. Here Trump and Jesse Jackson smiling,
shaking hands and the same people who will see say
a picture of Trump and Epstein and go, oh, yeah,
he knew they were. They in on it. Absolutely, we
know what this means. Are looking at the picture as
a Trump and Jesse Jackson going oh, look, who's trying
(14:07):
to rewrite history. Just because you post a picture with
the guy doesn't mean you were friends, doesn't mean he
liked you, doesn't mean he wanted anything to do with you,
and maybe at the time maybe he probably even know
who you were. This means nothing. Kettle, pot, pot, kettle.
How are we doing you guys getting along? Did you
have a nice Valentine's Day? These people are shameless.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
You're applying logic where logic will not stick.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I know, but I'm I'm still gonna make the attempt.
I have a feeling that, based on the sheer numbers
of people who breathlessly hang on our every word here
on eleven to ten kfab, there might be a few
people that go, oh, you know what, Scott's right. He's
never been right before, but on that one, I think
(14:55):
he got it. So I'm gonna keep trying. That was
a pretty funny tribute, though yesterday, didn't you think that
Trump was just gonna start blasting away the Reveren Jackson.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Well, that would be the character or that would be
more in character of president.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, it's it's pretty funny. I'm trying to find the
here we go truth social post. Oh, he's posting a
bunch of pictures. This one looks like AI. I thought
this one was like, No, this one's actually pretty pretty recent.
There's pictures of them in the eighties. Pictures of them
apparently not too long ago. Yeah, but he he said,
(15:40):
he alleged that Jesse Jackson hated And here's how Trump
put it, Barack Hussein Obama and the reason why Trump
and others will use the man's full name former President Obama.
You know you know it's his name is because apparently
Obama doesn't like it when you call him by his
(16:02):
full name. We know you mean by that you're trying to, Hey,
it's your name. Childish, completely childish, kind of funny, mostly
childish kind of.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Funny, and we kind of expect that.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, seems like Warren Buffett may or may not have
bought The New York Times. Well, Berkshire Hathaway did. The
question is whether or not Warren was orchestrating the move.
Jim Rose thinks he knows exactly what happened here.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Oh, he declared he's out at the end of the year.
It's not Greg Abels company. He's just chairman. He's not
making any decisions anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Well, see, here's the thing. The quarterly stock portfolio filings
did not make clear whether Buffett made some of these
recent moves, like the purchase of the New York Times
three hundred and fifty million dollar investment. There also there
was an increase in the investment of Chevron that was
(16:59):
before President and Trump ordered the arrest of the President
of Venezuela and they sold off some of the Bank
of America and Apple shares. So the Associated Press says
doesn't make clear whether Buffett made these moves or one
of the other investment managers did. Buffett generally handled any
investments worth more than a billion dollars, so the paltry
(17:22):
three hundred and fifty million dollars they parted with for
the Times would not make it part of that threshold,
but obviously handed over the CEO title to Greg abel
after sixty some years of leading Berkshire Hathaway. The acquisition
of The Times is interesting because when he started selling
(17:43):
off some of the newspapers they own, including the Omaha
World Herald. He said that the newspaper industry was, to
quote Warren Buffett at the time toast that was just
a few years ago. But even then, he said, maybe
some of these national papers like the Walls Street Journal
or the Times could still do well. It's noted that
(18:04):
the New York Times isn't just telling you what happened
yesterday in a print edition or what's going on now
in the online. But a lot of people use the
New York Times not for news and sports information. They
use it for the wordle and I'm the fun game
(18:24):
that you can do it on your phone. You don't
need the New York Yeah, but and you see it
a quick ad. Sometimes you see five seconds of an
ad before you do it. I'm not a I've never watched.
In fact, I came and think, oh, Curb Your Enthusiasm.
But after Richard Lewis, the comedian who was on Curb
Your Enthusiasm with Larry David and that crew, I was
(18:45):
looking up some sound bites and found one where he
and Larry David are walking along and I think this
is just one of the most bland funny lines ever
Richard Lewis starts off the conversation going, yeah, solved the
word again today, as though this were a major accomplishment. Yeah,
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Well maybe the athletics. Funny, maybe they bought the New
York Times for the Athletic, which is the online sports newspaper.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That's another one. They've got that platform there very well,
that's done very very well, twelve million digital subscribers.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
But I don't know about I don't know about the paper.
And you're right, one hundred and fifty million for the
New York Times. They spent two hundred and fifty million
on the Omaha World Herald. That was a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
But I think perhaps I have found that tied to
the most recent case where someone who is a gender
fluid persuasion who has committed a crime with a firearm,
which is largely being ignored by the media that quickly
seizes upon the oh, we have a pattern here. We've
(19:47):
got this person who did this, and then this person's
kind of like this person, they did the same thing.
We got to take guns away when it comes to
those who are gender fluid in nature who are committing
gun crimes, those people who usually kind of come after
your guns and say we need common sense gun legislation
and these people are domestic terrorists. Been very very quiet
(20:08):
here on this disturbing. I don't even know if you
do so much as to call it a trend. I'm
not going to do that. I am going to say
with absolute certainty that if we had five white guys
wearing MAGA hats here recently commit gun crimes, the media
(20:29):
would be beating that drum. They'd have to put new
skin over at the top of that drum. They would
just be beating holes through that drum constantly. You know it,
I know it. But how do we get the media,
how do we get people to pay attention to this story?
At a Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Perhaps this the white guy
who also identifies as a white woman in the case
(20:53):
they're at the hockey game, also goes by the last
name Esposito. Clear where this person got the name Esposito.
It's not like he got married to someone and then
took that name. It's just a name that he used.
So now maybe we'll get some people here on the
(21:13):
political left in this country to pay some attention if
we can tag this individual with cultural appropriation Hey, you're
not an s. You can't just declare yourself esposito now,
unless you're that that hump from Texas. Uh, who's the
guy in Texas keeps running for office, never getting elected anything,
(21:34):
who was born super white but assumed a Hispanic name
to try and get elected out of Texas. He ran
for Senate a couple of years back. Oh, Beta, Yeah, Beto, Beto,
what's his what's his real name? It's not Beto.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I think it's Arthur. No, it's something like that. Beto
is one of those people that is utterly forgettable.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Right. Uh so, yeah, so we have a few more
details though. In this case, there at the hockey game here,
apparently they're saying this was targeting family members. He killed
his ex wife and son. I guess it was his
son who was the hockey player. They killed his ex
(22:15):
wife and son as people were diving for cover, and
a bunch of people there at this hockey game rushed
the shooter to stop the attack. Now, I saw some
of these posts on social media who said, well, I
think probably this guy who dresses as a woman and
goes to his kids hockey games probably got tired of
(22:36):
all these you know, testosterone laden, macho hockey dads making
fun of this guy, and that's why he went in
there to shoot them. That's not the case. That's not
what happened. There was no indication beforehand there'd be violence
at the rink. People said, yeah, he'd been to a
lot of hockey games to watch family members play. No incident,
not a big deal. But he suddenly started firing there
(23:01):
in the stands, and there were several good Samaritans were
able to tackle him, but in that melee, he was
able to reach for a second firearm and shoot himself.
Gender identity was a contributing factor according to court filings
and why he and his wife got a divorce. His
ex wife said that gender reassignment surgery and narcissistic personality
(23:24):
disorder were reasons for filing. Well, that last one is
probably a reason for filing in a lot of divorce cases.
And this individual, the shooter, had been posting on social
media that using his wife's name, there hate that I
(23:49):
don't know, going after people involved with his ex wife.
I don't know. But he did talk about trans hate
on social media, posting anti transgender posts by people like
Alex Jones and saying that criticism of transgender people is
(24:09):
why we go berserk. Former military worked at a ship
building facility there in Maine, and colleagues said, yeah, he
sometimes would talk about his family. One coworker said his
ex wife really never came up in conversation, but he
talked about his hockey playing son. A lot identified as
(24:33):
a woman named Roberta used the women's restroom, and they
also said that sometimes he had a bad temper that
would lead to screaming matches with colleagues. As I've said
several times here on the radio, someone as an adult
decides they want to be a different person somehow, Hey
(24:58):
go down that path. See where leads you. My issue here,
and this is not just about being transgender, as I
think a lot of people are sold a false bill
of goods. If you do this, if you assume this
persona whatever that might be, then your life is going
to be infinitely better. And then it's not. And the
(25:19):
same activists or bad crowd that said, yeah, join this gang,
use this drug, be transgender whatever, the same activists who
recruited you to that cause suddenly abandon you when it's realized, like,
oh well, this was a big mistake and then you've
got no one there, and you were saying I thought
(25:40):
if I did this, I'd be happy, and you're not.
That's a dangerous place to be. All Right. While I'm
sitting here being very judgmental this morning, let's throw this
in there as well, as we're just a couple of
minutes away from sports brief involving, among other things, high
school girls wrestling. This is something that has it starts
it off twenty some years ago where you had a
(26:03):
couple of girls in high school who wanted to wrestle,
and they all, right, we'll let you wrestle. But they
were wrestling against guys. Some guys said, I'm not going
to wrestle a girl. That's a no win proposition. You
do it out on the street corner. It's fellowly rape.
So now there are so many girls that wrestle that
they wrestle each other, and so you got that as
a category and they're wrestling each other, and okay, I
(26:24):
still it seems to me, since I'm being judgmental, it
just seems.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
If what if your daughter came to you dad and said, Dad,
I want to wrestle. How do you handle that big,
big guy you want to wrestle girls or girls wrestling team.
I would not allow my daughter to wrestle on a
boys team.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I don't know. I don't know. I don't girls, whether
it's UFC fighting, wrestling, that kind of thing. Here. I
I'm a bit old school pigheaded. I guess. I don't.
I don't. I don't really get it. If it's my daughter,
I don't know, but I can tell you. I can
tell you this though. If my son had to wrestle
(27:06):
a girl, I'd say, you're not wrestling her. That's not
how you treat a lady. Me neither, you know. But
enough girls wrestle each other. Enough the girls want to
go in there and wrestle each other. I'm not going
to sit here and go this is an abomination. I
might find it still a little different than what I
was accustomed to growing up, but.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Well, I'm a big advocate of sports for girls. So
if my daughter came to me and said, Dad, I
want to wrestle on the girls wrestling team, It's not
exactly what I had in mind when she came out
of the womb, But I go, you know what, sports
are great for girls? I mean, in a social media
age where every teenage girl compares herself to Ariana Grande.
(27:44):
This is a very, very healthy pursuit. So I would
be more than supportive if I had a daughter or
a granddaughter who wanted to wrestle. But I got to
tell you, it's not exactly feminine. But they're very good.
They're very athletic, they are committed, they are in shape,
they go through rigorous training, and God bless the folks
(28:06):
who coach them. Because girls wrestling has only been around
I think five years in Nebraska high school wrestling, I
think it has been sanctioned for five years. So they've
gone out and gotten a lot of kids to go
out for girls wrestling. And it's healthy for girls. Yeah,
and they want to wrestle each other. Fine, I'm just
so glad we've gotten away from girls wrestling boys.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
We can't. That's under no conditions that happen. I've received
a number of emails like this over the last couple
of weeks, and I get it, but I'm going I'm
going to free you here over the next few moments.
I'm going to free you. It's okay. Now. This email
unsigned basically is looking at the Savannah Guthrie case and
(28:48):
referring to it as empathy porn. He says, am I
missing the point. Well, I'm not cold hearted enough not
to care about an eighty four year old lady apparently
being kidnapped, But this story would not garner one percent
of the attention were it not a lib media Darling's
(29:08):
mother and that goes on to talk about it. There's
a lot of people throughout look. Okay, yes, it is
true that the media and the American people cannot cover
every single thing to the full extent that they cover
one thing over another. And certainly there is a lot
(29:29):
of racial bias that is accused of being on the
table when we have situations like this and both sides.
If we're going to say black and white here, meanwhile
there's people of other races going we would give anything
to be included in some of these stories. But usually
(29:49):
it ends up being this fight of not really even
about black and white people. It's usually the fight among
white people and then guilty white people who en end
up battling. Well, how come because if a person is
white and missing, they get more attention, whether it's Savannah
Guthrie's mom, or whether it's Gabby Petito or Lacy Peterson
(30:13):
or Elizabeth Smart or something like that. If a white
person goes missing, everyone stop what they're doing. We have
to pay attention because the white person is missing, and
we don't have the same situation for people of color.
And then you get the other accusation. If law enforcement
shoots and gills someone who has a person of color,
(30:36):
that will be the number one story in the news
for a long time. Meanwhile, during the time that the
news is saying white cops shot a black guy, there'll
be a number of white cops, black cops, all cops
shooting white people. It does happen, I won't get all
the attention, and people are like, well, hey, how come
(30:58):
this is a bigger deal. Shh, It's okay, be cool,
my babies, It is all right. I am freeing you
from whatever you're feeling here in the Nancy Guthrie story.
If you're glued to it, if you're waiting for information,
if you're like, what about the glove. There was DNA
(31:19):
and the glove. Yeah, the DNA and the glove did
not match any DNA collected from inside her house. It
didn't match anything in federal records. It moved us no Further,
if you're interested in that kind of thing, there's a
lot of that news. If you're not interested in it, Okay,
there's probably a number of things that happen in the
news every single day that perhaps don't interest you. You're
(31:42):
welcome to during those moments where they're reporting on those things,
and I go back in time and sing your favorite
song to yourself for the forty five seconds or so
that's being reported. There are a lot of great songs
out there. I mean, that's what you think I should do? Yeah,
eat it from Weird Al Yankovic comes to mind. You
could just do that for her. Yeah, that's a class moment.
That's fine, that's Rogers and Amerstein. I just I can't help.
(32:05):
But I mean, first of all, when it comes to
this Savannah Guthrie thing, everyone's got mom and you think
about how what did you feel in this moment? Have
you thought have you stopped to think about? Anytime the
phone rings or someone comes into the room, Savannah Guthrie
is bracing for either the best or worst news possible.
(32:25):
The best news we found her. She's on vacation with
some guy she met online. That's what she says. She's
sorry she forgot to tell you she got carried away.
Worst news is obvious. Every single time someone comes into
the room to talk to her, she is bracing herself.
Where's she supposed to be right now? She's supposed to
be in Italy doing some Olympic coverage, eating great food,
(32:47):
going to the best parties. I can't imagine what this
is like for her.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Well, but there are six hundred thousand people that disappear
every year in this country. Yep, eight hundred thousand, So
that years there five hundred ninety nine nine hundred nine
nine other Savannah Guthries out there who don't get the attention.
They don't get the prayers and the hopes and the
and the best wishes of millions and millions of people.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
It's tragic.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
This one is a little unusual, and maybe there was
not great work done by the Pima County Sheriff early
on in this investigation. But there is a reasonable argument that, Okay,
we're making a big deal out of Savannah Guthries' mom,
what about all these other people who disappear every year.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Here's my comfort that I try and give them. If
you feel like, hey, no one's paying attention to my
case the local law Enforcementever, no one's paying attention.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Well, the President of the United States threatening the death
penalty for somebody who took my mom.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Everyone's paying attention to this case in Tucson, and they're
no closer to finding someone than they are in your case.
In you know, bf E, no one they don't have
they don't have drones overhead. In your case, they don't
have the FBI and the president and people glued to this,
and they haven't gotten anywhere either. So well, one of
the things take some weird level of comfort in that,
(34:02):
I suppose.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
One of the things it does proof Scott is that
in law enforcement will tell you this in many cases,
it's about good luck. We got lucky. You recall they
apprehended Timothy McVeigh within a few hours after the bombing
of the Murrah Federal building, long before the kind of
technology we have now, because they got lucky. They found
(34:23):
a piece of that van with a serial number on it.
They were able to trace that.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
But at the.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Same time, a sheriff, a literally a county sheriff, pulled
a guy over near Guthrie, Oklahoma, and held him for
about two or three hours. He holds him for an
hour McVeigh gets away. There was just so much good
fortune in the quick solving of that case, and this case,
(34:50):
it doesn't look like the FBI, or the Pima County
Sheriff's Department or the State Patrol in Arizona has gotten
a break.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Well, I'm interested in the story. I'm not spending every
single a waking moment on the radio on it, and
I'm obsessed with it. I'm not obsessed with it. I'm
obsessed with this story. I'm interested. I disappointed. I am
not obsessed with the Nancy Guthrie case, as Jim Rose
has accused me of being. A thought or two though
has materialized in my brain. One. You know, they're checking
(35:18):
all the DNA on these gloves because people within a
ten mile radius of the home there in Tucson keep
finding these discarded gloves in the desert, and apparently there
are a lot of discarded gloves in the desert. Can
you imagine if he're in Omaha. They said a woman's missing,
and we found some DNA at the scene, and we
saw the guy on the ring door bell camera and
(35:41):
he was drinking one of those fireball shooters and then
he took off and so we're looking for anyone to
find a discarded fireball shooter bottle on the streets of
Omaha somewhere and contact the authorities that we wouldn't have
the manpower in China to be able to take all
of those people and put them to the number of
discarded fireball shooters in this town to start trying to
(36:03):
find DNA on them. They're everywhere. I can't walk without
being waist deep and discarded fireball shooters. And that's just
from my body deep. Yeah, and that's just from my
buddy Mike. You can throw those things away in a
trash can. That's just in your neighborhood. I know they're everywhere. Now.
The other thing is I talked about this a week
ago where they found that glove. You have hikers.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
You have thousands and thousands of hikers, and they drop
everything from their keys to their phone, to their gloves,
to their hat to.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Their water bottle. That's like a veritable dump for stuff. Now,
let's consider this for a moment. Let's say that they
never find anyone, including Nancy Guthrie, what the media? At
some point, the interest is going to wane, The media
is going to go away. The FBI is going to
go away? Then what cold case? Then what I mean?
This happens a lot, there is avan I'll be back
(36:52):
on the Today Show trying to struggle through my gosh.
Can you imagine There's there's a great song by Yes,
there is a great song by bare Naked Ladies called Helicopters,
and it's about, you know, how something happens in a town,
small town, and here comes the media and all the attention,
and here's the guy who kind of saw it and
tells the media his story and gets a lot of
(37:14):
attention for it, and then it all kind of goes
away and he leaves. And then then what does he do?
Like I keep trying to tell people the story, they
don't care anymore. And that's kind of what it feels
like for some of these towns when you get this
glaring media attention.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
I say, we get Nick Shirley down there, deputize him.
If he could find two billion dollars in fraud in
Minnesota up against all those Democrats, he can find missus Guthrie.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Now you're thinking, see you're obsessed with this story. Interesting dynamic.
Now in the House of Representatives, all the Democrats want
this guy to go, and Don Bacon is speaking out
against a fellow Republican known as the Hebrew Hammer. All right,
let's dive in see what this is this is about. Who
(38:00):
are we talking about. It's a congressman who's a first
termer out of Florida named Randy Fine. Congressman Randy Fine
saw some posts by a pro Palestinian activist. Fine is
Jewish and has spoken out quite a bit against obviously
(38:24):
terrorism and defense of Israel. He has earned the nickname
that I don't think he shies away from the aforementioned
Hebrew Hammer. So Congressman Fine sees a pro Palestinian activist
who makes a complaint about dog owners not cleaning up
after their pets in New York City. He goes on
(38:50):
Twitter x and says a major Muslim leader in NYC
is calling for dogs to be forbidden because they bother
some Muslims. The mainstream Muslims make us choose between keeping
our dogs and them going home. The choice is easy.
(39:10):
Among those criticizing him are as I said, Nebraska's second
District Congressman Don Bacon, who says, quote, I appreciate Randy
Fine for many things, but I don't agree with this.
We should be respectful to others. All right, let's try
and figure out.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Who's the person he wants us to be respectful to.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Uh when he says others, others just others. Yeah, he
would like us to be rescirited.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
That's pretty blanket. I mean, I would agree with him
just on that, yeah, blanket statement.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Right, I don't. I don't know this person who made
the initial complaint. Now, I know, among some practitioners of
the Islamic faith, dogs are considered on some level unclean.
This has been misconstrued a little bit here and there,
(39:59):
probably because of a conversation from the nineties film pulp
fiction dot Dogs and hing pigs and I don't eat
dogs neither. Now, the if a person a certain sect
of the Islamic faith even touches a dog or comes
into contact with dog hair, you've got to clean yourself
(40:21):
like an obsessive compulsive disorder kind of thing. There's a
whole ritual that goes along with it. So maybe some
of what is in there about hey, you know, pick
up after your dog. They are Muslims who consider it unclean.
They're not the only ones who feel that way. I
would like you to clean up after your dog. And
(40:43):
I am not Muslim, so I don't understand necessarily why
it even was framed as a Muslim issue. But the
person did say, and this often is not reported in
the media response to Randy Fin's comments, that the person
did say that it bothers Muslims when your dogs are
out there and making a mess. So he says, look,
(41:06):
if dogs should be forbidden because they bother some Muslims,
if mainstream Muslims make us choose between keeping our dogs
and them going home, the choice is easy. Well, this
is a false premise. No one is saying, let's hold
a vote who should go your pet scraps or every
(41:28):
single Muslim who doesn't like dogs. That is not a vote.
That's not something about which we are talking. I don't
know why this guy felt the need to respond. He
could have let it go. He didn't. And now for
that vote, yeah you would. Well, we'll see what the
Congress does with it. But the Congress is already saying,
(41:48):
here's HIKEM. Jeffries, the House minority leader, says, if we
come into power in the midterm elections, then we will
hold him who he's describing Islamic phobic, disgusting in an
unrepentant bigot. Will hold him accountable through disciplinary action. We'll
(42:09):
whip him like a dog. He didn't say that last part.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
It feels a little overboard.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
To what the response. Oh well, anytime you get all
I mean, a Republican says something, all the Democrats hate it,
and then the media goes running to Don Bacon, what
do you think about what this Republican said? I don't
like it. All right, we have bipartisan agreement. This guy
is a pig, which, by the way, is not exactly
what Don Bacon said. We got to get the congressman
(42:40):
back here on the show. Rod responding with the knee
jerk reaction we usually get here when we bring up
the name Don Bacon has sent this and said Fried Bacon,
tell Bacon to stfu. We're sick of that loser. All right,
thank you, Rod. What does that mean? It means he
would like him to be quiet, So Rod, thank you
for that email. Greg says I have a solution for
(43:02):
any revenue shortage in Omaha. It might also allow property
taxes to be reduced. Just as we have a restaurant tax,
I suggest we have a coffee shop tax i drove
by one hundred twentieth in Center yesterday, and there's yet
another coffee shop going up on the old Famous Dave's site.
There's one practically on every freaking corner and notough already?
Speaker 2 (43:26):
How big is that coffee shop?
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Well?
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Filling up an entire Famous Daves.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
One hundred and twentieth in Center? Was there a famous Daves?
There was one of a hundred, well hundred twentieth in
l is where you had. That's a parking, that's a dirt.
Apparently they're doing a coffee shop there. I think he
means l So all right, well, then don't don't get
their coffee. I don't know. I don't know what to
(43:52):
tell you. I do like a coffee shop that has
live music. I like going in there and hearing someone
over there plucking away an acoustic guitar, howling a little bit.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
As long as it's not me playing that guitar.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Oh. I wait in line to get hot chocolate because
I don't drink coffee. I'm the only person in the
history of getting up early in the morning who does
not drink coffee. But I like caffeine. I don't drink
pop either, So what do I do. There's a series
of injections directly into the eyeball after our sports update.
Speaker 3 (44:24):
I have a question for you. You're a smart guy. You
have a degree from the University of Nebraska.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
Carney, Okay, can we do that at eight thirty five?
Or are you gonna You seem like you're gonna ask
me now? Is it just a yes no answer? We
can No. It's not that we'll forget it's ask me.
Speaker 3 (44:38):
It's it's not a yes no answer, And that's why
we have to take real time for it.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Ask me and we'll see if it's a yes no
or if it needs more time at ay? Right now? Yes?
What is the deal with the seven bruised coffee? Oh?
I have no idea. There are lines I know, sneaking
around the block. Deal at any hour of the day.
I don't know anytime a business opens. This seems like
people lose their minds. Hey, they got coffee in there?
Speaker 3 (45:02):
Yeah, there are only fifty other thousand places, even in Fremont,
where you can get a cup of coffee on a
drive through. What makes this one so special?
Speaker 1 (45:10):
I know it's the same thing when like a Chick
fil A opens up and people are like, I will
sit here for eighteen hours to get a chicken sandwich. Meanwhile,
there's three places across the street to sell chicken sandwiches.
No one's in the drive through. Gotch you like, I
don't know. That's one I can't answer, no matter how
much time you give me. Now, Greig Evans just gave
you some of the story we talked about a little
(45:31):
bit this week. This was a viral video here in
Omaha that showed these guys out there doing burnouts, cookies, donuts,
use whatever culinary delight you want to describe, get in
your car, hitting the accelerator, turning the wheel, and then
flying around and try to do circles and put skid
(45:52):
marks there all over the parking lot of local businesses
that show up the next morning and say, what I
gotta to clean up the parky, I just painted all this.
It's awful. It's happening all over town. And in this
particular instance, guy was in a pretty sweet car at
twenty twenty two orange Chevy Camaro spinning that thing around orange. Yeah,
(46:16):
it was like that cool burnt orange color. So he
spins that thing around and the back end of it
ends up knocking this woman like through the air like
bo Jackson just hit a line drive home run. She
goes flying feet up in the air, head crash into
the ground, into the water, spectacular beyond center field. Yeah,
(46:37):
I mean she cleared the center field lying on this
one and then was lying there in a heap on
the ground, not moving, and then the video ended. So
we don't know. Douglas County Sheriff Aaron Hanson said, we
don't know if she's alive or dead. We'd like to
talk to her, certainly like to find out who's responsible.
So what we didn't see was she was able to
(47:00):
I guess at some point get up. She has talked
to the sheriffs. She received injuries to her head, shoulder,
and ankle. She received medical treatment, briefly lost consciousness. And
what we also didn't see was the driver of that
car took off likely number leaving the scene of a
personal injury accident, failure to render aid, wilful reckless driving.
(47:25):
So you just slam them into this girl with your car,
send her flying through the air, leave her in a heap.
I guess, look back and go, I guess it's time
for me to leave and take off. They have found
this guy, nineteen year old street racer. They've arrested a
few different people. Now, what we're also digging into here
(47:46):
is we've got a couple of people arrested nineteen years old,
twenty two years old, and the Douglas County Sheriff's Office
says these guys have known interactions with law enforce. The
guy in the car that hit the girl, this nineteen
year old kid sixth known traffic interaction with law enforcement.
(48:08):
Previous offenses range from stop signed violations to reckless driving,
to speeding, to no plates, failure to provide proof of
financial responsibility. What does that mean in insurance? So a
speed racer blowing through stop signs without no insurance, no plates,
got a pretty sweet car. I don't know what a
twenty twenty two Camaro is going for right now, but
(48:30):
that's probably a mid to upper twenties, if not low
thirties if you're tricking it out in this car looked
pretty pretty hot. So where does he get the money?
I don't know. I don't know that he's got a
real sweet job and extra money there. And then the
twenty two year old, well, see here we got twenty
twenty one speed racing one hundred and eighty days probation
(48:51):
twenty twenty four flight to avoid arrest arrest in that case.
So look, some people say, why don't you guys get
over it? So a few people are kind of speeding,
weaving and out of cars. Hey, what's the big deal.
These are criminals. It's it's a regular activity involving a
bad element and hanging out at these things or being
(49:12):
a part of them. Is it's easy to find you.
Everyone can hear you with your cruddy mama all over town,
and the law enforcements out there trying to track you down,
and they're bringing in some bad guys into custody. Well,
we seem to have.
Speaker 3 (49:28):
A lot of problems with cars these days. There was
the incident in Fremont. Now this and did you see
what happened out in Grand Island yesterday? A guy was
driving across town, went across an area with some junior
high kids or some older kids that were protesting, and
they threw something at his car.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
Yeah, that happened on Monday when they decided to leave
Grand Island Senior High School. And then they're parading around
anti Ice and now they're on the grounds near the
nearby elementary elementary school. A guy is there to pick
up a kid, and then they throw stuff at his car.
Speaker 3 (50:06):
He gets out of his car and tease off with
one of these dudes. From what I saw on the video,
he got nailed pretty good. He was bleeding from the mouth,
and they a bunch of other kids surrounded him. Now,
thankfully he didn't escalate into what could have been another
Rodney King episode or Reginald Denny follow up to Rodney King,
(50:26):
the episode you remember that from the early nineteen nineties.
But this is what's happening now. Where are the adults, Okay?
Who was at the elementary school? Who in charge of
the elementary school wasn't out there, who didn't call police
and say we got something going on out here we
should not have.
Speaker 1 (50:44):
Where are the adults in the room. And it's a lawful,
peaceful protest until it's not right. And so some guy
says he didn't appreciate their anti ice science. They decide
to start chuck throwing stuff at his truck, and then
they found out, like, all right, you want to mess
around with me, you're gonna go after my vehicle? About
peace teenagers, a peaceful protest, yes, is protected, but it
(51:08):
has to be organized, and don't they have to have
some kind of permitting to do so. I don't know
if that's the case, if there's a city ordinance in
Grand Island that requires that, maybe not. But what we're
seeing in this instance, Scott, and this is the bigger point.
Where are the adults around these kids? We're talking either
high school kids or middle school kids, or elementary school kids,
(51:30):
daycare kids, whatever it is. Shouldn't there be some sort
of supervision by people in charge? And right now, maybe
they're there and I don't see them, but I don't
see a whole lot of supervision going on with kids,
and that to me is a trouble. Jois until these
schools say, look, I heard there's a we're walking out
of school to go protest ice today. No you're not.
(51:53):
Until the teachers say, funny, all the teachers are having
a major test in eighth period to day. If you're
not there, they're gonna fuck it. You're gonna have hard
time passing this class. Until they really get serious about this,
this will continue to happen. These kids no more care
about the protest du jure than they do about something
going on on the planet Venus. They just want to
(52:14):
walk out of class, goof off, get on video, yeah,
and maybe fight some people. So I'll add this to
the mix here in a segment that is quickly becoming
the plot of Grumpy old Men three this story here
or not. I just think that there should be some
adult super video. I am. I'm all about protests, I am,
and I want kids.
Speaker 3 (52:33):
I want kids to know what it's like to protest
if you don't like what's But there has to be
rules that get followed.
Speaker 1 (52:38):
And that's my problem. I'm a grumpy old man and
I have been since I was a kid. So then
you have this case. This happened overnight one thirty in
the morning today downtown. Fourteen year old boy gets shot.
Police have taken a twenty two year old individual in custody.
They're not even sure if this is the guy. They're like, look, well,
this is a bad deal. What's a fourteen year old
(53:00):
doing out at one thirty in the morning. Where's mom
and dad on that one? What? What in the world
It's a Tuesday night, Wednesday morning. What's this kid doing out?
If you can't do the eighteen years, don't put in
the fifteen minutes. See, this is what it would have
happened when I was a kid. So it's a school night,
(53:21):
it's Tuesday night. I sneak out of the house. Whatever,
I get shot. You know what, my dad says, serves
you right, it deserved it, and maybe I'll shoot you
in the other leg. What do you think you're doing.
