Raiola / Reiner / Anti-ICE Judge

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Where do we start here? This morning?

Speaker 2 (00:01):
We've got a quarterback allegedly in the portal, which seems
incredibly likely and unfortunately was predictable. We've got a Conan
O'Brien link to the Rob Reiner situation. And we've got
the President of the United States stepping on his dink
and Don Bacon calling him out for it. I'm not

(00:22):
a dictator, Guys, where do you want to start? Jim Lucy,
give us a direction, let us go.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
You know it matters to Husker fans. Dylan Royola.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
I know it seems like a bomb could go off
in the entire Southern Hemisphere and we'd still be talking
about Dylan Royola. Seemingly now, according to reports entering the
transfer portal, no message from Dylan. Why is that he's
not going to talk because he's all worried about When

(00:50):
I say worried, his focus is going to be about
looking at other programs and taking inquiries from other programs,
and at this point any conversation he might have is
Zoo material. So it's true he's in the portal.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
We'll get KVB Husker Info strong Man Sewan Callahan to
give us some more of the details. But Nebraska fans
are trying to process all of this. Sure, and I
think the sophisticated fans and most Nebraska fans are pretty
clear about this. They know that anymore, it's not about school,
it's all about the money, and it's all about opportunity.
And we have to stop expecting our kids to treat

(01:28):
Nebraska like a special place. It's not a special place.
It's a place where they generate money. Well, it's not
in this context now it's a special place to us,
but it's not a special place to the players, whereas
it used to be. Okay, I want to go there
because there is no place like it. Okay, you don't
have the fans support everywhere else, you don't have the

(01:49):
passion for it everywhere else, you don't have the you know,
saturated media coverage anywhere else. You play for a national
championship here, and so it was special in that context.
Now it's a transactive action. It's about Okay, how much money?
How much am I going to have to work for
the job. Do they have offensive linemen? Do they have receivers?

(02:11):
All of those questions were never asked before, but they're
asked now. So it doesn't make us special in their eyes.
And when we were told this is family, this is
about legacy. My dad's name is on the North stadium,
I want to that's all huha. And next time you
hear a guy say that it's not true unless he's
here four years, walks down the aisle, gets a degree,

(02:32):
then you'll know he was telling the truth. All right.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
First of all, when we went in this conversational direction,
I should point out that Lucy Chapman went out for
a smoke. She doesn't smoke, but I think she just started.
So we'll bring We'll get Lucy back in here and
engage her in conversations throughout the morning. On Dylan Ryola,
all the social media stuff I saw yesterday was just

(02:57):
angry Husker fans bitter. How dare you you know like
some of the things like you were just saying, except
angry and profane. I would like everyone to take a
breath and remember one very important moment. And I'm not
saying and this is why Dylan Royola is one of
the greatest Huskers of all time. I am not saying that,

(03:18):
but I am pointing out what should be the obvious
and I think has been forgotten. That kid played in
the USC game and broke his leg. Right, that was
the USC game. Yeah, Yeah, he broke his leg, and
then what happened. He's over on the sideline. He's hopping around,

(03:38):
he's trying to throw passes, he's trying to put weight
on that leg. He's trying to do some light jogging
seeing how mobile he can be, because he wanted to
go back out on that field and compete with his team.
He wanted to play. He had a broken leg, and
he wanted to go back out there. I don't think

(03:59):
it's about a question of heart with this kid. I
think when he is all in with the team. I
think we've seen from the offseason stuff where he's going
around and doing selfies with kids at prep basketball games,
and being a part of nonprofit stuff and all the
rest of it, and sharing his life on social media.
I think he's all in and now he's going to

(04:19):
go find something else, and I hope he finds what
he's looking for. This is not about Dylan Royola, though.
I think you're seeing the ripple effects of all of this,
not just in what Dylan has been doing, and you
can look at him as an example of it, but
he's not the standard bearer. Three high schools in three years,
committed to one school Georgia before coming to Nebraska. He

(04:40):
spent two years here and now he's moving on. But
he's not the only one doing stuff like this. Omaha
Public Schools just put out their stats about how graduation
rates are down. They've dropped about two and a half
percent over the last few years. This past spring, the
graduation rate of those who start as freshmen four years

(05:02):
ago and graduated within four years of high school this
past spring down to seventy one point five percent, or
as the OPS graduates would say, that's nearly half, and
they said more than a thousand students and OPS did
not complete their coursework and time to graduate within four years.

(05:23):
It says about twenty eight percent of students were quote
unable to graduate within a four year period.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
I think when it.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Comes to sports, Lucy, don't go into a coma. There's
a very disturbing shift the last few years.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Now.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Some of it I get, you know, a case by
case basis. There are certainly some reasons why someone would
do this more often than not, though you're not seeing
any other reason than I'm gonna have my student do
a kind of hangback year. He's gonna rich, Sure, he's
gonna reclass is what they call it. Used to be
you were held back a year because grades or maturity,

(06:01):
or you were the youngest one in your class by
three months, and let's shift that around here. But now
there's so many young athletes doing it across all sports
because you know, that kid or his dad says, I
want this kid to be the most dominant eighth grader
in the entire city, and so we're going to reclass.

(06:21):
You can do the eighth grade year again. And so
now here comes your kid from seventh to eighth grade
and he's competing against freshmen in high school. There's a
big difference in these years. And you still get to
a senior year, where now you're competing against kids who
should be in college. But the whole thing is ridiculous,
and I think a lot of these kids are following
the lead of someone like Dylan Royola and saying, now

(06:45):
let's just reclass or we can jump schools, or any
of the rest of this stuff. I don't think it's
because OPS is unable to get these kids graduated. I
don't think that's much of a consideration for too many
of these kids anymore. We move different schools, we reclass
it's just different now. And Rayola is part of this difference.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
It's an interesting theory. I don't discount it. I think
that the COVID year and the remote learning really set
a lot of kids back now. I think it was
one of much more acutely the case with first, second,
and third graders in those days than say seventh, eighth,
and ninth graders who would be graduating now. The school
shopping happens, and people do red shirt their kids, which

(07:27):
is what you describe, because they want them to have
an advantage in sports. It's it's a cultural problem that
I don't know how we get away from it, because
youth sports has become now just such the center of
people's lives. But you know when you look at some
of the kids getting into colleges now, and here's the
other issue, Scott, because so many for year schools are

(07:48):
seeing a massive drop in enrollment. They are dropping their
entrance requirements. And you give a kid going into a
freshman year university a basic skills test for math and reading,
you don't want to see those results. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
The watering down of these diplomas is hideous. If I'm
the quarterback at Nebraska and I'm getting smoked, I'm dropping
back in the pocket. Whether I'm holding onto the ball
too long or what, I'm just getting absolutely lit up
back there. My line can't block. Our offensive line coach
is not doing the job. So the coach comes to

(08:25):
me and says, look, we're all in on you. All
the chips are over here on number fifteen for the future.
Y're guy, We're gonna fire this offensive line coach. We're
going to bring in someone who can block for you.
Isn't that a good thing? Does it matter that the
offensive line coaches the quarterback's uncle? In that point, I
kind of thought perhaps coach Rule was dismissing uncle. Areola

(08:49):
there to tell Dylan like, look, we are You're our guy,
and we're gonna make this work. Or did Rule do
it do it because he already knew that Yola the
quarterback was gone?

Speaker 1 (09:01):
No, I don't know. I think that coaches don't really
know exactly what's happening with every kid, and it's because
they get influenced by outsiders. There are a lot of
people in the Dylan Royola orbit, just as there are
a lot of people in a lot of orbits. If
you're a good college football player, you have people in

(09:22):
your ear constantly. You have your existing coaches, you have
your former high school coach who in some cases maybe
getting paid by other schools to influence for them. You're
getting influenced from family, You're getting influenced from former teammates.
Sometimes along the way in the circuit, you meet guys
and they are now playing for other teams, and you

(09:43):
become friends with them, and they say, hey, man, you
should come here. We got these the guys. And these guys,
I mean Wandell Robinson was getting influenced by his personal
trainer when he decided to leave Nebraska and head back
to Kentucky. So I don't know that a head coach
really has control over his players. I don't know that
he ever did. Uh, But I can tell you now

(10:03):
he has less because of the transfer portal and the
freedom that these guys enjoy. So in this case, how
much did Matt Ruhle know. I think he's got good instincts,
but I don't think he knew everything. And there were
probably people calling and kicking the tires for Donan Royola
year ago and they fought that off and made some
commitments for nil money that would make him a very,

(10:25):
very wealthy young man. So where are we with this process?
The head coach really has very little control. They can't
do anything other than counter offer, which is what we
did to Emma Johnson. Emma Johnson was in the transfer
portal for like twenty four hours remember last year, and
he came out of it because they said, you can't
go anywhere here. Take this money. Thank goodness right, otherwise

(10:46):
we'd have had a lot worse season than we did.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Love Emma Johnson, He's a heck of a kid. I
wish he's playing the bowl game. Yeah, I'll do it
like the old school guys used to do.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Right, sign your contract on the field after the bowl game,
like some Husker fans used to do. So where does
this leave the program? It leaves us understanding that the
past has to be ignored and the future has to
be embraced. And we have to find if we're going
to be in love with players, and this is the
Rosi di Genozi today. If we're going to be in
love with players, we got to be really selective about

(11:17):
who we date. And this very idea that a high
profile recruit is somebody with whom we should fall in
love needs to go away. We need the Luke Linden Myers. Okay,
we need the walk Ons from Papillion. Those are the
kids we need the date emotionally when it comes to
Nebraska football. The Sam Hoiberg's of the world, Okay, the

(11:38):
Bergen Riley's of the world. These are the kids that
we need to fall in love with. And we have
to ignore the hype that comes with recruits because Nebraskas
have a tendency to do that. We fall in love
with celebrities, well anymore in this world. I believe the
celebrity athlete is nobody you want to bring home to
mom and dad.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Greg emails and the Zonker's custom what's in Scott at
kfab dot com says nil should mean no institutional loyalty.
We'll get Zonker's custom was inbox Scott at kfab dot com.
Luke email says, I'll laugh my rear end off if
it winds up like Ryola, ends up like the Tennessee
to UCLA quarterback last year. This was the guy who

(12:20):
said I'm leaving the volunteers. I'm putting myself out there.
Who wants some of this?

Speaker 1 (12:24):
And all the programs are like, no, not me, Nico. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Then he goes to the Bruins and gets like half
the money he was making with Tennessee.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
With a fraction of the team. Yeah. Yeah, this is
what There is no promise. It's like when you leave
a job. Okay, I've always believed you you should be
running to something, not from something. But in many cases,
a lot of these kids are running from something. They think, well,
I'm never gonna get a fair shake here. They won't
let me play, you know, they keep bringing in it again.

(12:57):
It's always somebody else's fault, right, So then they go
into this portal and they think, Okay, I'm gonna go
where people love me. It's a really cold world out there, man,
if you expect folks to serve you, it's a cold,
cold world. And I don't know what's going to happen
to Dilal Royala because Sean was very very insightful. He
can't move. He is an immobile quarterback by comparison, bogged

(13:20):
down by seven million dollars. He's walking out he here
with I mean, that's hard to run. Yeah, when your
pants are full of gold coins. It slows down your
forty time unless Dylan can somehow find a way to
become a more fleet of foot quarterback. There are a
lot of people that are going to say, got a
great arm, but I don't know. Man, he holds the ball.

(13:41):
You can defend against that drop. Seven guys cover a
lot of space. He can't really run now. He had
last year. Anyway, in twenty twenty four, I think he
showed spurts where he could take off and get the
seven or eight or nine yards, but then he'd gets
smacked and things didn't turn out so well and he
got up off the turf.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
I'm just gonna choose to believe that he's He's the
kid who broke his leg against the Trojans and wanted
to go back into that game and compete. That's that's
who I'm look I hope everyone finds what they're looking for.
What I just say, everybody, love everybody?

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Why not?

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Okay? Jackie Moon? All right, well here's here's if you've
not seen the movie semi pro that reference to Jackie Moon.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
That will fix like the Titanic, but it's full of bears.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Great Sometime during the holiday season, you've got to watch
Semi pro. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
And if you're thinking, oh, this is a really good movie,
it's not terrible, it's horrible. It's so stupidly funny. It's
some hilariously funny lines. All right, now, let's get into
territory that should be really, really funny. I'm a devote
of Conan O'Brien, and every year he hosts this wonderful
holiday party. You've got Tom Hanks and Adam Sandler and

(14:54):
Bill Hater and everyone. I comes over to Conan's house
and they're all hanging out and they're having a great
well this year, According to sources ho Tel among others TMZ,
one of the invited guests turns out was Rob Reiner
his wife Michelle Reiner, and they apparently asked, Conan, do
you mind if we bring our son along? We're kind

(15:16):
of worried about him and we want to keep an
eye on him. This is the thirty two year old
Nick Reiner who's now in custody accused of murdering his parents.
But before that, this is this past weekend Saturday night.
They asked Conan, Hey, do you mind if we bring
our son along?

Speaker 4 (15:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Sure, bring him along whatever. Sources say, Nick Reiner was
acting creepy and anti social, just staring at guests and
just trying to butt himself into conversations. At one point,
he now interrupts a discussion involving, among other people, Bill
Hayter from Saturday Night Live and Barry Fame and Hater says, hey, man,

(15:57):
actually this is kind of a private conversation. Nick freaked out,
went storming out. He was acting crazy, just walking up
to people going are you famous? Are you famous? Finally,
Rob Reiner says sorry, and the son like leaves, got

(16:18):
in an argument with his parents so loud that everyone
kind of heard it, and Nick is apologizing, embarrassed about
his son's behavior, and they leave. And the next day
Rob and Michelle Reiner are found murdered, their son accused
of this. It's absolutely crazy. And then to make things

(16:40):
even worse, the President of the United States had to
weigh in on this.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
I wish he wouldn't do this.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Congressman Don Bacon has a comment about that. I noticed,
Jim that you commented on this on your ex twitter feed.
The president who decided that he was going to weigh
in on the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife.
And if you haven't heard, President Trump said that this

(17:09):
once great writer, director actor had suddenly succumbed to Trump
Derangement syndrome and tried to make some link between it
was his TDS, his Trump derangement syndrome, that led to
his death. Why the President felt the need to say

(17:31):
anything is for debate. I know that Nebraska second District
Congressman Don Bacon didn't appreciate it. He was on CNN
and said, quote, I'd expect to hear something like this
from a drunk guy at a bar, not the president
of the United States. Can the president be presidential? I'm

(17:53):
not going to try and explain away or excuse what
the President said. I thought it was incredibly dis respectful
and tasteless. I also realized that hoping that the president
not engage in this kind of behavior is like hoping that, hey,
sometime later this morning, I want to ride a unicorn.

(18:14):
I want to find a unicorn. I want to break
that unicorn, making my own pet, and then ride it
around town and look down at the traffic and go, haha, suckers.
I'm on a unicorn, a flying unicorn. So I can
hope and I can wish it's not going to happen.
I will say this, Jim, the President didn't grow up

(18:34):
in the same era that in which I grew up.
I mean, I grew up with Rob Reiner producing our
favorite movies when I was a kid, and then coming
into my formative years, I mean Princess Bride, stand by Me,
when Harry met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, he was in there.
We loved all these movies, so and then I came
to love Spinal Tap, a Few Good Men.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
The list goes on and on and on.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
These were huge movies in my upbringing, and so I
obviously have an affinity for Rob Ryder. President Trump doesn't.
President Trump knows him as a guy who's done some stuff,
and over the last decade or so has called President
Trump a war criminal and he needs to be removed
from office. So forth. Trump's a brawler. We all know
that he's going to go after and hit someone much

(19:21):
harder than they ever hit him. What I wish Trump
hadn't done it, has said it, but there it is,
and I think that's where that comes from.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Trump has thin skin. Yes, it's the thinnest skin of
any president probably we've ever had. He takes this stuff
personally and then he seeks his revenge and that's just
a natural part of his DNA strain, and nobody's going
to change it. What I would hope is that after
doing this a while being president a while, the president

(19:52):
would occur, We would occur to him that when you
do things like this, when you make an ass of
yourself like this, it devalues the important policy and legislative
actions that you do take that help the country. People
stop looking at the things you're doing as president, and
they focus on stupid stuff that immature people that act

(20:14):
like twelve year olds do on social media. And you
would hope that after being president now for pretty much
five years four and then the gap and now the
first year of his presidency, that he would look at
that and say, I don't have much time to be
president when I leave the White House. I can't do
executive orders anymore. I can't appoint important people to important

(20:35):
jobs anymore. I can't push legislation up Capitol Hill anymore.
So I better stop wasting time, not just mine, but
the time of the country with stuff like this on
true social you can expect that's all people are going
to talk about for the next three days.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
You can expect the president will always do that, and
then the media will always say Republicans are pushing back,
and they will talk to Thomas Massi, Marjorie Taylor Green,
and Don Bacon. Some of the pushback in the Zonkers
custom was inbox Scott at kfab dot com. Brandon emails
and says, Scott, the way you represented the whole Trump

(21:12):
versus meathead thing is disgusting. You make it out like
Rob Reiner was this good guy who just had a
few issues with Trump. Do you realize he was the
spearhead for the Russia Russia Russia collusion and all the
other bs that Trump went through in his first four years.
All right, Rob Reiner, I put that in the same
category and talk to him on this show during Trump's

(21:36):
first administration about that stuff and pushback. When Rob Reiner
was on here, I took that for what it was worth.
The guy who plays Marty de Burgee in Spinal Tap
has some issues with Trump. All right, thanks for letting
me know. Rob Reiner voted on approximately nothing. Is he

(21:57):
not a member of Congress to two with anything. He's
just a guy who had some problems with Trump. All right, fine,
Spinal Tap is a funny movie. I didn't say Rob
Reiner was a great guy, said he gave us some
great movies. I'll watched stand by me and not even
think anything of it. I'm not gonna let politics interfere
with whether or not I'm going to enjoy. Marty de

(22:18):
Burgie talking with Nigel about whether his shirt with the
the Skittler ribs on there is an anatomical representation of
what Nigel looks like if you removed all of his skin.
But it's green. Well that's what color I am underneath
all of this. Spinal Tap is so stupid. I love it.

(22:40):
So then Brandon says, when can we get Gary back? Ah,
here we go.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
I miss scary.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
I know, we get some of that in the email
if people email in Scott at kfab dot com.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
I miss Scary. Wait a minute, that's the voice guy. Well,
that's not a listener. He's just yeah, he's representing the fielding. See. Yeah,
he's the voice of the masses. Yeah, I get it.
Garry's not going away. He's just not here now I know.
And in case you missed it, I mean we named
the studio after him. In case you want us to
do it right in case you missed it. You know
I fired him last week. That's enough out of you.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
And as far as the stuff about Don Bacon and
so forth, Michael Emails says, don't you find it peculiar
that Don Bacon's running the CNN to say these things.
I bet CNN reached out to him. He'll go on
that program, any program, and they know that Don Bacon's
going to give them what they want. And that is
a Republican saying something that's not exactly super trumpy and Don,

(23:44):
he says. Michael says, Don Bacon celebrated the twenty twenty
defeat of Trump.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Don't doubt me on this.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Thank you Michael for doing that great Rush Limbaugh impression.
So for those of you like Brandon saying, you know,
I can't believe you make it out like Rob Reiner
was this great guy. He just had a few issues
with drop. Rob Reiner was terrible and all that stuff.
All right, I'm glad that you're still actually listening to
the program. Here, try hearing what I actually have to say.

(24:14):
It might be fun and worth everybody's time, But you
can always reach out. Scott at kfab dot Com. I'll
sell you this. I'd rather have a president who makes
just incredibly tasteless comments like this in the wake of
the murder of a guy and his wife, then have
a president who just opens up the southern border and

(24:34):
lets murderers come in here and target every single one
of us.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
It's not even close.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
But but you can't then look at all the people
who lit up after the after Charlie Kirk and said, well,
I'm glad Charlie Kirk was murdered. He had it come
and you know, all these teachers, all these people in here,
like I can't believe people are saying this stuff. And
then when the president makes a com meant that is

(25:01):
somewhere in the vicinity of the same level of tastelessness,
you can't go, well, that's okay, because you can't do that.
And as far as the murder of Charlie Kirk, let's
take a look at what Rob Reiner said after that.
Piers Morgan had Rob Reiner on just a fierce liberal,
outspoken Trump critic and probably wanted disagreed with everything about

(25:23):
Charlie Kirk. So Piers Morgan asked for Rob Reiner's reaction
to the assassination, and Reiner said, quote, I unfortunately saw
the video of it, and it's beyond belief what happened
to him, and that should never happen to anybody. I
don't care what your political beliefs are. That's not acceptable
and that's how it's done.

Speaker 4 (25:43):
Oh, the weather outside is frightful, fire, so delightful.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Since we've no place to go, let it snow, Let
it snow, Let it snow. Well.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Sorry, I don't mean to disagree with noted meteorologist Harry
Connock Junior, but this is not the condition we're in
right now.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
I'm good with it. Let it snow, Let it snow,
Let it snow. We had that. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
There's no telling what might happen by Christmas, which is
nine a week from Thursday. We're n nine.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Days, nine days, times nine times.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
There's your eighties movie, right, I got my I brought
my dinger with me here onto Nebraska's Morning News. There's
your nineties movie reference for this segment. No eighties movie
reference for this segment of the radio program. That would
be Ferris Bueler's day off. That would be Lucy Chapman.
I would be Scott vorhees if I were any better
at this Jim Rose is here and that's because Gary

(26:53):
Sadelemeyer retired on Friday. And as I said the other day,
rather than the mass collective disappointment that came when Gary
announced and then Gary had his final regularly hosted morning
radio program this past Friday, there are still some people
tuning in who don't know any of that, And now
we're just disappointing people individually, just letting people down one

(27:17):
by one here on news Radio eleven ten kfab Do
you need Lucy a white Christmas to put you in
the holiday spirit?

Speaker 4 (27:28):
Well, first of all, you're assuming that there is something
that will get me into the holiday spirit to begin with.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
No, I don't need snow.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
You are the holiday spirit. No, No, you don't need it.

Speaker 5 (27:41):
No, I don't need the snow.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
I'm surprised by how green the grass is. My lawn
looks great. You don't have to know it.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
I know my lawns has not looked this good all year.
Nice green lawn got a little shimmer to it in
the morning. It's uh, it's beautiful. I wonder if there'll
be some people here later this week after we get
these a whole week in the forties who are like, yeah,
I didn't get that last mow in, which also serves

(28:12):
to mulch up those leaves, and I might just bang
it out later this week.

Speaker 5 (28:15):
Are they still picking up yard waste?

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (28:18):
May I?

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Well, I don't know. I don't know if they are.
Well at this point, if you're going out there with
the mower, you are mulching it.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Oh, that's this point.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
You're not bagging. You're not bagging it. But I would
not be surprised if there are some people going out
with the lawnmower later this week and on Saturday. As
I look at the long term forecast, we get into
Saturday Sunday forty six on Saturday and about forty on Sunday.

(28:45):
We start next week forty five. That's a few days
before Christmas. We might be dreaming of a green Christmas
this year.

Speaker 5 (28:53):
Oh, I always dream of a green Christmas.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
I like, here's my thoughts on snow over the winter. Oh,
thank you, Scott, this is what we've been waiting for.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Please.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
My only thing is if it's going to be so
cold that you can't do anything outside. People are out
there jogging, riding bikes. Maybe playing a little tennis. I
don't know if any golf courses will be open later
this week. I suspect a few of them will, and
I suspect I'll find them. But if it's going to

(29:26):
be so cold you can't do anything, you might as
well have snow. I do enjoy a nice, lazy Saturday afternoon.
Yeah it's lunchtime, but you're still in your pajamas and
you're having that morning cup of coffee or Bailey's Irish cream,
and you're just looking out the window and the snow
is falling, and it's a beautiful scene. If you don't

(29:48):
have to go out and do anything, you're not traveling anywhere,
you're not going anywhere, then I like it now. As
soon as I have to go out and do anything,
I hate that. I don't know why the infusion of
dangerous road conditions and bone chilling cold helps people feel
more Christmas Y. I can feel Christmasy in any weather.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
I don't mind the snow for Christmas. I don't mind
snow all the way up till like mid January, and
I wish we would get it then, because by mid
January I am so over it. I'm so over the cold.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (30:21):
I don't even know sometimes how I make it to March.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
We neither hate it.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
February everywhere is worse at all. I mean so many
I think February is are just awful.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
I think January is worse than February around here because
February you can start to see it now there are
cold days. Yeah, But to me, January is the calendar's Siberia. Yeah.
I mean there's no hope in January. Well, you know
what I've done. There's no hope.

Speaker 5 (30:46):
No, in January.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
There's absolutely no hope because you're only ten days into winter.
When January one hits.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Well, I started doing this like five years ago, and
I don't know if I'm going to do it this year.
And those who are, you know, wishing Gary come back.
I already got a few peoples on Scott Are you
are you feeling sick? Do you want to have Gary
come back?

Speaker 3 (31:04):
I miss Gary.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
I know as people are out doing a little Christmas shopping.
I was out the other day and I stopped into
Shields and I noticed something. This was on Sunday we
got the news about our quarterback. Apparently in the transfer
portal we're planning to enter it here in a couple

(31:26):
of weeks.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Pull the fifteen jerseys? Did they Now?

Speaker 2 (31:29):
They hadn't pulled them. So I was in there on
Sunday before that news came out, but I wandered over
near the Nebraska gear and I noticed in the clearance section.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Jim Rose tapes all of your old books.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Yeah, no, the books in the videos, the Dylan Royola
number fifteen Jerseys t shirts clearance, they're all in the
clearance section.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
Now.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
I noticed that on Sunday Shields. Since then, since yesterday's announcement,
which is not I mean report, I should say, WWT
six News has the story where they go and talk
to Husker Hounds. You know, anytime they go talk to
Husker House as a Husker clothing outlet retailer here in town,
I always feel so bad for those poor people. It's

(32:17):
usually like, well, the Huskers are not in a bowl
game again this year, Let's go see how they're feeling
at Husker Hounds. And they're just in their tumbleweed is
blowing across the store, and these guys look all crestfallen.
I thought yesterday was the worst day of my life,
and then today happened. It's just it's awful. So now
they go over to these guys and they're like, we
just ordered all these Roola jerseys and T shirts and everything.

(32:39):
We got a mark to sell. We're gonna see kids
in the Congo wearing Dylan Roola jerseys for the next
eight years.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Hey, if you really want to make money on Husker
gear right now, basketball, put a Sam Biberg jersey out there.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
Now you're fine, there you go right now. I want
to hearken. I love to hearken. And I don't mind
Tom Harkin, but I really loved a harken. This is
a story that captivated us months ago. Remember the judge
in Wisconsin who there was a hearing here on someone
who was caught by ice and was in the country illegally,

(33:14):
had already been deported from America before, got himself back
in here. And this time the judge says, come with me,
and I puts a coat over him and throws him
out in the back alley and ushers him out the
back door before anyone can do anything. And now she's saying, like,
I didn't do anything wrong. What for more on this,
Let's bring in Fox News Radio's Jeff Manaso here to

(33:36):
news radio eleven ten kfab Jeff, this happened this past April, April,
and now we're finally getting she's already in a courtroom
all the time, she's a judge. But what's going on
here with Judge Hannah Dugan.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
Yeah, there was opening statements in Federal courteen Milwaukee where
prosecutors told jurors that Judge Hannah Dugan distracted ICE agents
back in April and then directed a Mexican national in
the country illegally in her court on battery charges to
a private hallway to exit the building. And think about that.
So he was in court on battery charges, accused of

(34:13):
a beat beating his girlfriend. The girlfriend, the victim, the
alleged victim, and her attorney are in court waiting to
kind of figure out what's what's happening, all while the
judge allegedly got this guy out of the courtroom to
escape ICE agents and leaving the victim and her attorney
kind of hanging according to prosecutors. And so, but what

(34:37):
happened was ICE agents were armed with in restaurants, they
knew he was there, and they wanted to take him
into custody. The defense saying that Dugan is not guilty,
and they cite emotion and confusion of the day in
concerns of the lack of clarity defined in terms of
a defined process for how the judge should respond to
ICE activity in the courthouse. But throughout this week we're

(35:01):
going to hear from about two dozen witnesses in this trial.
We heard from two FBI agents and an ICE supervisory officer. Monday.
One of those, as the FBI agents test of investigating
the case to this, played audio recordings for jurors from
inside the courtroom. So this the set, the table, this is,

(35:21):
this was the set, the scene. This was This is
after the judge was alerted by the Mexican National Attorney
that ICE is outside. She then leaves to the bench.
She goes outside into the public area with her RoboN,
which judges don't do, or at least is very rare.
Then she's seen on video talking to ICE agents and
in directing them to another part of the courthouse. So

(35:42):
she comes back into her court and this is where
the audio kicks in and the court reporter is heard.
Tourist heard this yestay. The court reporter is heard saying
that she was going to show the illegal the private
exit door, and Dugan is heard saying, I'll do it,
I'll catch the heat. Wow, and and so so so
he this this, this Mexican national in his attorney to

(36:06):
go out the back door. He's seen running in the
rain outside the courtroom. I sations were kind of onto
what was happening. They nabbed him right away. He was arrested.
He's also since been deported and and and so. Judge
Dugan was arrested days later and indicted by a federal
grand jury in this case, now facing obstruction in the

(36:26):
form of a selameme and a misdemeanor. The jury is
expected to have the case by Friday.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
That heat she talked about that she was willing to
take could give her what up to six years in
prison if convicted on both counts.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
Yes, several years and several years in prison for this
judge and the State Supreme Court also suspended her indefinitely
at least as this trial plays out. We'll see what happens. Wow.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
And you have to wonder would she have done the
same thing if we weren't talking about someone who was
subject to deportation, just some other guy in there facing
charges of trangulation, suffocation, battery, and domestic abuse. Hey, come
with me, hide under my robe or whatever, and we'll
get you out the back door. This is absolutely awful, Jeff,

(37:11):
great reporting is always. Thank you so much for taking
the time for us this morning.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
You bet I have a good day.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
You two here on news radio eleven ten KFAB. That
is Fox News Radio's Jeff manatso here in Nebraska as
I yesterday, and if you missed the conversation, boy had
infuriated a lot of KFAB listeners, not all of them,
but several were very very upset at just the idea
that State Senator Megan Hunt of Omaha was here on KFAB.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
How did that go?

Speaker 2 (37:41):
Find one particularly interesting part of the conversation. We were
talking about the ice and immigration so forth. She doesn't
think we need borders at all, and none of these
people are in the country illegally because she doesn't see
that they're breaking any laws. And she says that Trump
and Governor Pillen and others are racist for carrying out
this activity. I said, well, Biden and Obama deported a

(38:02):
lot of people. Were they racist? She goes, well, I
didn't like that activity, either, said, but are they racist.
She goes, well, I think it's racial, so it's different.
So we talked about going out to visit that corn
Husker clink in McCook. Yeah, let's call it that, because
I'm not a big fan of that either. But ice attentions, Yeah, well,
people know what I'm talking about when I say it.

(38:23):
So one of her cohorts, State Senator Mikayla Kavanaugh of Omaha,
she went out, just showed up at McCook demanding to
be let in and looked around. They said, no, we
don't know who you are. Getna, you're five hours away,
six hours away from your your district. Please leave, and uh.
And then as she and then yesterday Megan Hunt was saying,

(38:44):
they need to let us in, they need to let it.
While she was saying that, I don't think she knew this,
but other members of the legislature were a lot in there.
On a tour of the ice detention facility in McCook,
we had let's see here State Center is Tom Brandt,
Rob Clemens, Margot Juarez, Dan Lanowski, and Myron Dorn. So

(39:07):
they all took a tour of the place and they said, yeah,
everyone seemed to be treated well and.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
You know, we don't like it.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
State Senator Warrez says, we're trying to replace the white
bread that these guys are given with their meals with tortillas. Okay,
that's apparently the biggest concern out there. So it looks
like everything's going fine, just fine. They still won't like it,
but it's a big revenue stream for Nebraska right now. Yeah,
the Fed's are paying a bunch for that, and we

(39:36):
could be getting that in Douglas County too. We can
use Juvenile Justice Center that's it's available empty, we can
use that. An email from Dave in the Zonker's custom
was inbox Scott at kfab dot com. Dave says, Scott,
you're right. I know it's not sexy, but let's put
some money into the offensive line. Let's build a line

(39:57):
like the Huskers had in the nineties. Right now, it
looks like my untethered Rudolph inflatable blowing all over the yard.
Thank you so much for that. And Luke emails and says,
do you and Jim Rose see value in bringing back

(40:18):
thunder Collins? He saved the program before he was promoted
as the best thing since indoor plumbing. Well, I don't
know the Thunder is available.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
I know he's not. No snitch. He yelled that as
he was being led into the courtroom. I know snitch. Yeah,
that was That was one of the lesser moments in
Nebraska football to the last twenty five years, Thunder Collins
getting hauled off.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Who's the Who's the Husker who came into the program
with the most hype with the biggest payoff?

Speaker 1 (40:51):
Tommy He was the National Player of the Year, high
School Player of the Year Bradenton, Florida. He was the
USA Today National Player of the Year. Derek Brown was
the USA Today a National Player of the Year. But
for every one, problem with Derek was his off field
activities kind of affected his position on the depth chart
from time to time.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
Yeah, for every one of those guys, you can think
about like a Dylan Royola, or was it Kevin the
tight end Johnny Mitchell, Well, Johnny Mitchell was not highly
recruited here. He came in with a ton of hype.
I think some of that came from Johnny Mitchell. Yeah,
a lot of it came from Johnny. And I love
Johnny Mitchell. He was one of my favorite ball players.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
Though he's not a great practice player, but unbelievably gifted athlete.
Grant Wistrom was very highly recruited. He turned out. You
might say he worked out. Mike Brown was very highly recruited.
He worked out every time. I Grant Wistrom story, I'm
on Green was a parade all American. Crouch was a
parade all American.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
It was that summer after we'd graduated from high school
and I meet Grant Wistrom at a party. He's dating
a friend of mine, and she's introduced him around, like,
this is Grant. He's going to play football for the
former girlfriend of yours.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
No, she's a former girlfriend of Grant's, but she wasn't
at one time a girlfriend of yours. Grant and I
there's there's no similarities between us in any way, shape
or form. I do agree. He's dating this great.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Girl and she's introduced him around, and we meet him
at a party and we're like, all right, well you're
gonna play for Nebraska.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
Hey, hey, we'll look for you. He was easy to find, Yeah,
