Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thank you very much for being a part of this.
This is Nebraska's Morning News News Radio eleven ten KFAB.
I am Scott Voorhees here with Craig Evans, Gorney, Donahoe,
Lucy Chapman.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
You see, Lucy, I like.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Talking with you right in that transition from the first
traffic to the first weather report, because I want to start.
If I'm going to annoy you all morning, I want
to start as soon as possible.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
You know it's probably best.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
And we've got to start on this right now because
I failed to do something, and I'm holding you responsible
as well. I wanted to call attention to this yesterday
and we didn't get a chance to. We failed to
wish Jim Rose a happy birthday yesterday because he celebrated
a birthday over the weekend. Jim, happy birthday. Try to

(00:44):
fly under the radar. No, No, the radar is payoint
pinging right now on you. I'm going to ask you
the same questions I ask Lucy every year on her birthday.
How old are you and how much do you weigh?

Speaker 4 (00:56):
Twenty nine and one hundred and forty five? Oh, doing
well those There was a time when I was twenty
nine and wait, one hundred and forty five and I'm
just revisiting them now.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Okay, that's fine, you know it's we'll take nostalgia readings
on the age and wait, it's totally fine.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Just double them both.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Yeah, that was very The outpouring of support was it's
almost like you're dead, but it was nice.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Not a milestone birthday, but every year, when you're as
old as you, every year is a milestone making.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
Around the sun one more time. That's cause for celebration.
You know, a lot of people, a lot of potholes
on that road.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
A lot of people called attention to the fact that
so many of the holidays this year line up on weekends,
and so now you get a birthday on a weekend.
Did you Did you have a nice birthday weekend?

Speaker 5 (01:44):
You?

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Did you milk it all weekend?

Speaker 3 (01:46):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:46):
I pretty much just binge watched you know the show
that you won't let me talk about on the radio.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Well you can talk about it, you can't give the
actual name of the show. Eugene Levy, Katherine O'Hara, s
C A H I T T apostrophe. Yes, Shola's cried.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Yeah, even though everybody else says that we can't apparently
got a you can't. We got a reality cop over there.
I won't let us do it.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
I can say it if I want. I don't want
you to do it because you want to so bad.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
So I binge watched that, and of course the Husker
basketball game too. Yeah, and U took phone calls from
my son and my daughter and my grandson, so it
was all good.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
I like how you say you took like like they
came through your receptionist.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Yes, they had to have an appointment.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Mister Rose.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
We've got a call on the line from your daughter
wants you wish you happy birthday.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
All right, put her through. That was it.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
I took pretty much that worked. I took phone calls.
And what else did we do at church? Listened in church,
which just kind of rare for me. Uh yeah, it
was a standard issue weekend.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
But uh, with the you know, that was a good
message there.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah. I don't call him podre, but I do have
a relationship with a guy. I've had a nice couple
of coffee with the guy a couple of times, so
that's good. I like him. He's very plain spoken, you know,
he's not one of these dudes that tries to impress
you with how much he knows. He knows a lot,
doesn't need to like show that every day. He just
gives you a common sense message. And I really like

(03:14):
that because I've been in churches where the minister thought, Okay,
you know, I'm the smartest guy in the room, and
I got to make sure all these people know that.
And that bothers me greatly when it comes to I
like to get slapped right across the face with how
the message of the Bible relates to you and your
life to day.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
February third, twenty twenty six. I like to get smacked
right across the pus with that. I don't I don't
need to speak in vague generalizations. I want to be challenged.
I want to leave church knowing I can do better
and then vowing to do better.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Now.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Whether or not I actually do better, that's that's on me.
But I do like that challenge. It's I hope you
had a very.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Much because it was fun. Yeah, I mean it was
starting to warm up a little bit on Sunday, which
was also.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yes, it was yeah, yesterday was a nice day.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
We do need some moisture around here, though it'd be
nice if we get lots of rain or lots of
snow one of the two.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Well, will we'll get all of that.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
We're gonna get all of them, will I don't see
a promise, are you.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Well, yes, sometime in the next couple of months, we're
gonna get a lot of precipitation. Do I see a
lot of snow chances, like meaningful snow chances in the
forecast for the next week. I do not, But I
also know that it's February heading into March, and we'll
get into mud season before too long, and we won't
be able to turn that spigot off. So Craig Evans

(04:37):
just gave us the story here about the Honduran national
in the country illegally and in two thousand and sixteen,
was speeding, was drunk, blew through an intersection, and crashed
into a car that Sarah Root was driving. This young
woman lost her life there at thirty third in l
Streets on that day in twenty sixteen, and the guy

(05:00):
responsible for the crash was not put on an immigration detainer,
so this was under the Obama administration, so he took off,
he was allowed out on bail, took off, got ten
years of his life to do god knows what during

(05:23):
that ten years before he was finally brought into custody
this past year. The parents of Sarah Root, as is
so often the case anytime there is a tragedy involving
a kid, so often the family dissolves on some level.
These wonderful people got a divorce. Sarah and Michelle Route,

(05:46):
the parents of Sarah, ended up getting a divorce. This
happens a lot when you have a tragedy involving a kid.
So the ripple effect of what happened that night in
twenty sixteen here in Omaha did not just take the
life of Sarah Route, destroyed this family in so many
different ways. That's the ripple effect of something like this.

(06:06):
He got ten years of his life and then brought
into custody the Trump administation. They went, they found this
guy in I think he was back in Honduras at
the time, brought him back here and yesterday faced justice,
receiving twenty to twenty two years in prison for motor
vehicle homicide flight to avoid arrest. And I think a

(06:28):
lot of people Jim Rose included, heard that sentence and
went twenty years. That's it you're driving drunk, you're blowing
through lights. You're in the country illegally. I don't think
he had no driver's license, driver's license, insurance or anything
like that. And then takes off and gets ten years
of his life and twenty years.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
That's it. That's an outrage. This is the thing, you know.
I mean, we're driving down the road. We followed the law,
we have a license, we have insurance. Guess what happens
the other guy doesn't. He's blowing down there, He's drunk
and blown through stoplights, seventy one miles per hour in
a thirty five zone. No insurance, wipes out a life,

(07:07):
kills off a family essentially, and this is it. This
is the best we can do. Well, get your day
off started on the wrong foot.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Considering, well, let me try and put a silver lining
on this, considering that it was just a few months
ago that the Root family and her friends never thought
this guy would ever be brought to justice. This is
better than nothing. Is there anything more bizarre in the
news right now than what seems now to be the

(07:40):
kidnapping of the eighty four year old mother of NBC
Today's Show host Savannah Guthrie does that make any sense
to any But there's a lot of stuff that doesn't
make any sense. But what we hear is that in
that area, just north of two Ussan, a beautiful, beautiful country,

(08:04):
she gets dropped off by one of her kids at
her home. She goes in, they get her all situated
and say all right, good night, mom, and then she
didn't show up for church. The next morning, they go
over to the house, she's not there. And of course
a lot of people are like her. Right, here's an
eighty four year old woman. She wandered off into the desert.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
Well.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
The family says that she has a lot of mobility
issues and she really can't even make it fifty yards
without needing a lot of assistance to do so. So
the idea that she went wandering off for miles is
not consistent with what her physical abilities are. So though

(08:44):
her mobility is limited, mentally, she's described as being sharp
as attack, has all of her wits about her. And
Savannah Guthrie has been absent from the Today Show this week.
Is she's just saying, we believe in the power of prayer,
and thank you for adding yours to ours, and we're
hoping that this has a good resolution, but.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
It's somewhat kidnapped. Its very bizarre, eighty four year old woman.
It's very very rare if you listen to FBI statistics,
and this is what I learned listening to these guys yesterday.
It's very very rare that somebody is abducted by a stranger.
And it's even more rare that you have kidnappings for ransom.
These days, it's very very difficult to get away with it,

(09:25):
and with modern technology, it's virtually impossible. It's not like
the Lindberg baby. Okay, so somebody, it's got to be
somebody who knows her. It's got to be some deranged
individual who snatched her. And usually these things, again, according
to the FBI, involves the three l's love, lust, loathing,

(09:46):
or loot or yeah, so I said four and an
issue The issue here is who does she have a
lot of money? No? Not by comparison. Is she comfortable? Yeah,
her daughter is the anchor of a major network television
morning show. But this thing just makes absolutely no sense,

(10:08):
this abduction. Normally, there are like six hundred thousand abductions
a year. They're all kids. It's it's a you know,
a strange parent or some sort of relative. It's very
rare for something like this to happen. Yeah, almost hail bop. Yeah,
but as you you said.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
There, Jim, you know, it takes a deranged individual, and
sometimes that deranged individual is some stranger wandering around this.
There are people that tell you that some areas around Phoenix,
especially Phoenix to Tucson to down to Las Cruces, New Mexico,

(10:45):
a lot of crime and a lot of a lot
of bad guys in that area. It's and you know,
with with relatively nice weather, you get that criminal element
that tends to be homeless and kind of live in
packs that just go down there and decide to try
and live in the desert. You don't know what someone
might do. So I'm sure the FBI is obviously doing

(11:07):
their profiles and looking at all possible options, and they're.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
Probably not sharing information with the public because they don't
want the bad guy to know what they know. So
there may be some of that, right.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Arizona was left open during the Biden years, and when
Doug Deusey his term as governor ended, then they brought
in a new very liberal governor down there, and she's
one of these that come on in and yeah, I
don't care who you are, I don't care what you are,
come on in. So they had a very poorest border.
I don't know if it's better now because of the

(11:39):
Trump administration, but yes, they have had a major influx
in the last five years of illegal immigrants and homeless
people in Arizona. And you pretty much have two communities
in Arizona with any size, the Phoenix area which has
six seven million people, and Tucson, which has about a
million people. And it's real, it is a problem. The

(12:00):
Maricopa County Sheriff, which is where Phoenix is, and again
that's not where missus Guthrie was abducted. She's done in Twoside,
which is Pima County. They are cracking down as best
they can, and I'm sure they're more than happy to
help get the help from Immigration and Customs enforcement and
the Border Patrol. But it is a huge problem, and
there are bad people, and maybe this is one of them.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
But it's horrifying to think about One your mother might
have been kidnapped, and then two it might be someone
you know, maybe someone in your family. Just what a
horrible thing to go through. Hopefully hopefully we get some
good news and some resolution on that.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Hopefully.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yet this morning, as they, as the family said, they
believe in the power of prayer, as do I. Just
when you think things couldn't get any weirder with the news,
we've got the latest fallout from the Epstein file release.
And that is all the emails sent to him, not
by Prince Andrew. We already know that Prince Ana Andrew
had an interesting relationship with the disgraced financier, but his

(13:08):
ex wife, Sarah Ferguson, her charity has just shut down.
She was the founder of something called Sarah's Trust. This
is a nonprofit to support humanitarian and environmental projects. They
just announced they will close for the foreseeable future. This

(13:29):
just happens to be right after the Department of Justice
released more than three million pages of more Epstein related documents,
including emails that appeared to show Sarah Ferguson, a Royal
family member, former wife of Prince Andrew, who was in
contact with Epstein while he was in jail serving time

(13:50):
for a soliciting relations with a minor. So he's in
jail and she's calling him a legend, my pillar, the
brother I've always wished for. And then she said she
wanted to marry him, you know, because people often refer
to someone I feel like you're like my brother.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Will you marry me?

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Because that's a normal way to go about your life
and correspond with people. So she says, I am at
your service, Just marry me. These are I guess messages
where she's trying to reach out to him while he's
in jail. So then he gets out of jail.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
She also he gave her financial help, including about twenty
thousand dollars to payoff debts. So now he's out of jail.
She takes her daughters, teenagers at the time, to go
visit him after he gets out of jail for involved
in weird things with minor teenage girls. And then had

(14:54):
even reached out to him for a while and said,
I'm hurt that you never kept in touch. Well, probably
because I was in jail. Also, you're a little too
old for my tastes. Might be another reason why perhaps
he didn't so, and this was after she publicly said

(15:15):
I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein and I'll
have nothing to do with him ever again. And then
she starts banging away in the email, Jeffrey, my brother,
marry me. You never keep in touch. I miss you, weird.
The whole thing is what is the matter with people?
What is the matter with people?

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Jim? You got an answer for that answer.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
May We're still waiting for mortal man to invent the
instrument that can measure how little I care and how
most people don't care. He's dead, Okay, Yeah, Yes, there
are victims, and these victims deserve our support and sympathy
and the help that we can give them. They're all adults.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Now, yes, But there are other people who are being
in a bad spotlight here. One of them is this
longevity guru. He works with CBS. He's got a podcast
and a book. Name is Peter Adia. He had interesting
comments in some of these communicats with Jeffrey Epstein and

(16:14):
Bill and Hillary Clinton have announced, all right, fine, we'll
go do We'll sit for our deposition with the House
Oversight Committee, that's James Comer's committee.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
This is what they're going to get. I don't remember,
I don't recall. I'm not sure. Well, I couldn't tell
you for certain. Well if apparently the guy that directed
the Milania Trump movie was cozy with Jeffrey Epstein too. Guys,
you know the man was a serial psychopath. The guy
was a wildly successful financial adviser that made people very rich. Yeah,

(16:44):
he attracted a lot of attention. But what are we
going to do about it now? Okay? You know, I
mean he's dead, He's the reason this all happened.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
But Jase, he's dead.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
If there if you had a daughter who was swept
up in this underage scheme here involving Epstein all this
powerful friends and those powerful friends are not dead and
they're wandering around and enjoying their lives as the head
of this or big influential that wouldn't you want some
justice to come for that situe?

Speaker 4 (17:13):
Us? Who they?

Speaker 2 (17:14):
That's what they're working on. The evidence, what they're working on?

Speaker 4 (17:17):
Aha, what's the whole up?

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Half?

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Kfab Nation was emailing yesterday Scott at kfab dot com
demanding to know, well, where do I watch this alternative
super Bowl halftime show? I want to watch the alternative
super Bowl halftime show? Where do I get it? Who's
doing it?

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Like?

Speaker 1 (17:35):
I don't think they've announced it yet. The turning point
USA said they're going to do something, but as of
yesterday morning, we didn't know what.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
We now know what and.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Who, and it's as easy to predict it's predicting six
o'clock at five thirty.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
It's Kid Rock.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Who's going to be the turning point USA super Bowl
halftime headliner. It's Kid Rock, and then Brantley Gilbert and
Lee Brice, a couple of country music stars and someone
I'm not familiar with named Gabby Barrett. And Kid Rock said,
we're approaching this show like David and Goliath. We're competing

(18:17):
with the pro football machine and a global pop superstar,
which is almost impossible. But speaking about the global pop
superstar that Jim Rose's been talking about in Sports Brief
this morning, that would be Bad Bunny about him, Kid
Rock says, Bad Bunny says he's having a dance party,

(18:37):
wearing a dress and singing in Spanish.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Cool.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
We're going to play great songs for people who love America.
The question about how much Bad Bunny loves America certainly
has come up. He certainly has no love for the
President or his policies. He announced he would not be
doing his wildly successful world tour in America because he's
afraid Ice is going to be there and just grabbing

(19:01):
hispanic looking people from out of the crowd and sending
them to El Salvador or whatever it is that people
think that Ice is doing. So he says, yeah, world
tour everywhere except America. But he did have the one
date and that is the super Bowl. So if you
want to watch the Turning Point USA alternative halftime Show,

(19:23):
how do you do that? Well, that's on the Turning
Point USA YouTube X formerly Twitter and Rumble platforms. If
you have Hulu and you've got the Sinclair Broadcast Group's
channel charge that's charged with an exclamation point charge, then

(19:47):
it'll be on there. And then Daily Wire Plus if
you have that streaming service Real America's Voice or One
America News Network, they will also be picking that up
and carrying that. Well, what time is it? It depends
on how quickly the Patriots and the Seahawks can get
to halftime on Sunday, what times the game kicking off?

(20:07):
Just after six times, something like that. I'll worry about
that on Sunday, but right.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
You'll be able to get plenty done before the game.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
I one one group we know is not doing either
the Super Bowl halftime show or the Turning Point USA
halftime show.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
The carpenters.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Carpenters are not available, and the remaining guys from this
band are.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
Not I was a frog as the guy.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
The guy who sang that line has passed away. It's
one of the great lines in rock music history. Yeah.
The writer of that song, White Accident said, I just
kind of put it in there as a placeholder and
just kind of liked it. And the guys from Three
Dog Nights said this, what is this nonsense? We don't
want to sing this gibberish, And Chuck Negron said, guys,

(20:55):
this could be a really big song for us. Turned
out to be their biggest song.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
And the man who made the decision and sung that line,
Chuck Negron, has passed away. And Jim is Sad, I am.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
Sad Negron and the UH and the group came to
Omaha about fifteen or twenty years ago to perform with
the Omaha Symphony Orchestra. And of course that was back
when you know, they would come to us and say, hey,
would you interview the special guests, and we had Olivia Newton,
John On and a whole bunch of others would come
in here and Three Dog Night came and this is

(21:26):
one of my first favorite groups as a as a walking,
talking human being, and so this is a really big
deal for me. And so here comes Three Dog Night
in here and it was Negron, and so he does
the interview on the air. We had Tom Stanton at
the time, who was a news guy who's a sage
savant of popular music, and he mad three Dogs and
he was also very excited, and uh so, I'm just

(21:50):
really giddy about this. This is really great, man. These
guys were Corey Wells and Danny Hutt and all these
guys are great. So Negron gets done with the interview
and we're standing right out there by the coffee bar,
which right now is without coffee. But that's okay, that's
it's a work in progress. And I said, okay, Chuck,
you got to tell me what was it like being

(22:13):
Three Dog Night in the nineteen seventies. He goes, son,
let me tell you what it was like. You pretty much,
you perform and then you have a parade of women
that come through, and you do all of that plus
a lot of recreational synthetic materials that went into your
system until about three o'clock in the morning, and then

(22:35):
you slept until about three o'clock in the afternoon and
did it all over again. And this went on for
most of a decade for these guys. So when they
say that Chuck passed away of upper pulmonary issues and
heart issues, it probably dates back to that experience. And
I said, he goes, I'm really struggling, man, I got

(22:57):
some serious health bro. This was ten or fifteen years ago.
I had some really serious health problems. But man, I
wouldn't trade it for the world. I wouldn't trade it
for it was awesome, man. I mean they had They
had so many hits for that stretch in the early seventies,
they had thirteen songs in a row, make the top ten.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Well he sang lead, Dean, He sang lead on that song,
Joy to the World, one old fashioned love song, Black
and White. Mama told me not to come Shambala. Never
been to Spain. He I mean, wait a second, Nope, no, sorry.
That would be the band's other hits. He sang lead
on Easy to Be Hard, Show Must Go On one

(23:41):
an old fashioned love song, not on some of the
other ones I mentioned, but obviously with Hutton and Wells,
Negron was that was the nucleus of Three Dog Night.
Those were the three dogs form that band in nineteen
sixty seven. Lived the way Jim just described for decades.
It's amazing. He made it to eighty three. It yes,
eighty three fun years.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
He didn't think he would. He goes man because he
was he was early seventies. He goes man, I got
some real health problemse he Hutton got clean and he
leads a clean lifestyle. Now he's fine, wells kind of
like me. But he goes uh. I ain't gonna make
it the seventy five dude.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
No, he got sober in the nineties and after falling
out with the rest of those guys, they did reconnect
later in life, which is which is really good, all right,
So Chuck Nacky came here.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
They reunited and came to Omah.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Three Dog Night the Chuck Negron gone at the age
of eighty three. Fox Rather Traffic weather news update coming
up in just over a minute. Don Lemon was on
Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. I missed it, he said.
He said that the Trump administration arrested him in a
deliberate attempt to embarrass and intimidate him doing it at

(24:53):
his hotel ahead of the Grammys. What does Don Lemon
have to do with the Grammys? Oh, he was invited,
he got a standing.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Oh was he there?

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Uh huh?

Speaker 2 (25:02):
But he was arrested, did they well?

Speaker 4 (25:06):
That judge let now the grand jury in Minnesota says
you got a problem, But there was a judge in
Los Angeles appointed by Biden that let him out.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
I don't know if you caught Michael Brown this past Sunday.
He hosts the Weekend here on news radio eleven ten
kfab early on Sunday afternoons and was going over a
lot of the Don Lemon video stream from that church
in Minneapolis, which is why he got arrested. You're interfering
with people's right to assemble and worship. And Don Lemon

(25:35):
his words, his own words, appear that he was not
there as an independent journalist and just a bystander who
happened to be there. He talked with the people who
went into that church started obstructing the church service, not
allowing people to assemble and worship. He referred to them
as we we us and made himself part of that

(25:59):
group of agit agitators who went in there and disrupted
and probably scared the heck out of those parishioners there
at that church.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
Well, we had it in the Rosy de Genozi yesterday. Yeah,
but no one listening to that. You can have all
of the ideology in the world, but this was against
the law and it is not really up for discussion.
It's very black and white, which is what a grand
jury in Minnesota handed down. You can't do that. You're
right under the First Amendment stops at the door of

(26:29):
that church unless you're invited in. Now, somehow that's lost
on the national narrative. But I guess we don't follow
laws anymore, so who cares?

Speaker 1 (26:37):
And if you did miss the Rosie de Genosi yesterday,
you can catch that and all of Jim Rose's fabulous
podcasts right there on the Jim Rose podcast link that's
at kfab dot com. I like the Babylon b headline
the other day that says, Wow, if the Feds can
arrest Don Lemon for breaking the law, I imagine what
they can.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
Do to you.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
We had the ceasefire plan and I haven't heard really
a whole heck of a lot of bad things happening
over there this past weekend, they reopen Gaza's main gateway
to the outside world. How's everything going there in the
Middle East? Been quiet? Too quiet? Fox News Radios. Jonathan
Savage joins us here with an update. Jonathan, how's everything

(27:20):
going over there in the Middle East?

Speaker 5 (27:22):
Well, there are a number of border crossings internetive Gaza,
but only one goes anywhere other than Israel, and that
is the Rapap border crossing to Egypt. So it's reopening
is highly symbolic for Palestinians. Now, the reopening is very limited.
Israel is going to allow fifty sick or wounded Palestinians
to leave Gaza through that crossing every day. In return,

(27:43):
fifty Palestinians who previously left Gaza during the war will
be permitted to go back in. So this is very limited,
but it is symbolic, and it does mean that the
process of moving the Seaspire plan onto Phase two can
really begin in earnest This happened because the final hostage

(28:04):
was returned when Israel recovered the remains of Rankavilli last week,
so they are and now thinking about Phase two. There
is still very difficult conditions for every Palestinian who's living
in Gaza. So there's a lot of work to be done.
Phase two involves getting a new government into Gaza, a
committee essentially overseen by President Trump's Board of Peace, but

(28:27):
it also includes disarming Hamas, and that is going to
be very difficult.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, this is something that President Trump has been pushing
Israel Netnyahu for the European Union has border patrol agents
there on this gateway we're talking about here, So it's
not Israel necessarily strong arming things. But like you said, Jonathan,
all Israel's asked for is the return of hostages, including

(28:53):
sadly remains of hostages. I don't know why it took
so long for the Hamas they're in the Palestinian region
of them of Israel to do that, but you know
they did it. Israel kept up there in the bargain said, okay,
let's open a few more things up. Has it been
going rather peacefully over there? We haven't heard to the contrary.

Speaker 5 (29:17):
Well, since the ceasefire in October, there have been sporadic
outbreaks of fighting. A few hundreds Palestinians in fact, have
been killed by Israeli forces since October and that ceasefire.
Israel stays that in many cases their forces were threatened
and they returned fires, sometimes conducting airstrikes against people they
thought were planning attacks. But for the most part, the

(29:40):
killing has been far far less, the violence has been
far far less, and a significant amount of aid has
entered Gaza. United Nations said that the famine there has
been reversed, with more than ten thousand troups of eight
into Gaza since the October tenth truth.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
All right, Jonathan Savage, Fox News Radio. Great reporting as always,
thank you so much for the report this morning here
on News Radio eleven ten kfab. Back to Omaha, as
Craig Evans reported a moment ago, Governor Pillen is the
ninth least popular governor in America according to out of

(30:17):
some poll. Obviously they pulled a lot of people in
Omaha and Lincoln that tend to be more liberal. I
think if you go outside the cities you find a
few more people who are supportive of Governor Pilling. Certainly
some in Omaha and Lincoln. He did, after all, get
elected in the Landslide. It's another election coming up. But

(30:38):
one of the big things that even some supporters of
Governor Pillen keep looking at and going what is going
on here? Is the vote of the people in Nebraska
to say, yeah, we should allow medical marijuana. And since then,
to say that this has been slow walked into existence

(30:58):
is to suggest that in walking has been done. This
is more not so much slow walked, more like no walked.
The Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission had another meeting, their regular
monthly meeting yesterday, and it was without the chair of
the Commission, as doctor Monica Oldenburg showed up for the

(31:20):
meeting and resigned and then wasn't part of it. So
now Governor Pillen says, all right, well, we got a
point of replacement. Whatever the deadline is for Governor Pillen
to appoint a replacement to this Medical Cannabis Commission board,
that will be done at probably noon on the day
of the last possible deadline for this. People are, of

(31:42):
course upset. The Nebraska's for Medical Marijuana Group said this
resignation is ongoing trouble for this. The people in Nebraska
spoke the State of Nebraska, the governor. They're not doing
any of this. One of the interesting things they've been
talking about in the unicamera related to medical marijuana as
a bill that would say all right, we're only going

(32:04):
to allow people to go get their medical marijuana if
it's prescribed by Nebraska practitioner. We're not going to allow
someone to go get some prescription from some out of
state practitioner that might not have the same regulations or
thoughts or ideas as what we're doing in Nebraska. And
so we're not going to allow out of state patient

(32:26):
recommendations from being filled here in Nebraska, which is interesting,
and you might look at that and go, Okay, that,
I guess makes sense. You want to make sure that
only local practitioners are writing these prescriptions, so that makes
it less likely for abuse, until you realize there are

(32:46):
currently at this point no practitioners in Nebraska who are
or would recommend medical marijuana. So to say we're not
going to allow out of state prescriptions for your medical
marijuana only in state, all right, where do I get
one of those? It doesn't exist. So again, to say
that this medical marijuana has been slow walked into existence

(33:09):
suggests that any step has been made.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
But be that as it may.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
If you want marijuana for medical or recreational purposes, just
go ask your eighth grader. He knows a guy. It
was on this date, February third, nineteen fifty nine was
the day that Buddy Holly, Richie Vallens and the Big
Bopper went down in that plane crash just north of
clear Lake, Iowa, nineteen fifty nine, sixty seven years ago.

(33:40):
That was long, long time.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Ago, long long time ago.

Speaker 5 (33:45):
I can still remember how that music used to make me.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Smile the day the music died, as Don McClain sang
in the song American Pie Tribute to that moment, and
that's I've been to the vicinity of the crash side.
My son and I were driving back late at night
from a basketball game. We went and saw the Timberwolves

(34:13):
play the Golden State Warriors a few years ago. And
we're driving back and it's dark, and I'm like, I've
never been up here around clear Lake, and I said, son,
let's take a few minutes. Let's go and find the spot. Well,
the spot itself is in a guy's field. There's a
big pair of Buddy Holly glasses tacked to a power

(34:35):
pole off this dirt road, but it's right in front
of a guy's house. And I wanted to walk out
in the field and find the spot because I know
that there's a plaque. I believe that there's a plaque
there or something marking it. But I thought, you know,
out here with the flashlight from my phone on a
guy's property late at night, probably not the best idea.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
So we didn't do it.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
But that's.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Still sixty seven years later. I'm sure that there are
people out there today marking the place where that plane
crash with Buddy Holly, Richie Allen's and the big bumper
PJ Richard there.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
Yeah. Well, yeah, it was a seminal moment in American history.
I mean I was right on the cusp of popular
music really taking over. This is when the top forty
format where you play the same song over and over
again until it wears out, got super super popular. Of
course it was born here in Omaha Todd Stores and
his radio station here saw a guy put a bunch
of money into a jukebox playing the same song, thinking

(35:37):
we could do that on the radio. So yeah, I
mean it was a very very seminal moment in American
cultural history. And those three guys were really good, and
they were young, and who knows how much longer they
would have gone. Just think of how many experiences like
Chuck Negron they'd have had if they hadn't climbed into
that airplane that night and crashed into Iowa.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
Yeah, that's true. And of course there were other people
on that plane as well. Roger Peterson was the pilot
on board with Buddy Holly, Richie Allens, and JP Richardson
aka the Big Bopper. Of course, the lore is the
Waylon Jennings gave up his seat because he wasn't because

(36:17):
the Richardson wasn't feeling well. And then Tommy also, who
I've talked to in the past, lost his seat to
Richie Vallens on a coin toss. So that was four
a board on this date, the day the music died
clear Lake, Iowa, after they played at the Winter Dance
Party tour in nearby Clearlake, Iowa. Isn't it amazing how

(36:41):
like yesterday it was forty three degrees or whatever it was.
When we hit forty three degrees in October, everyone's got
snowsuits on, they're all bundled up if they even leave
their houses. But forty three degrees in early February, people
are walking around. They don't even put a jacket on.
I saw a guy with shorts on you yesterday gassing
up his car it's it's all psychological, lucy. How much

(37:05):
does it cost to plant a tree?

Speaker 3 (37:08):
Well, if you've eaten the peach and it's just in
your hand, nothing.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yeah, he's throwing on the ground. Let nature run his course, right.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
Or if you've got the little stupid helicopters.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Yeah, you got the stupid helicopters.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
That's an abundance of trees you don't want.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
So I'm thinking too well, I mean they work good
for forests and things like that. I don't know if
you want one in your yard all the time. But
Nebraska lawmakers are considering pulling forty million dollars from the
Nebraska Environmental Trust. You see, we're running out of money
here in Nebraska. We've got a budget shortfall and they're

(37:47):
trying to figure out how can we save some money?
And forty million dollars could go a long way towards
helping out. So what does the Nebraska Environmental Trust do? Well,
part of it is a tree planting program. How much
does it cost to plant trees? Again, forty million dollars? Well,

(38:09):
technically the Plant Nebraska Award that's about a half million
dollars of it. That's a grant for its tree planting
and gardening program. Your neighbor will do that for free.
She's out there now. How much does it cost a
plant tree? Forty million dollars the Nebraska Environmental Trust. How

(38:33):
did the state of Nebraska do for centuries, for millennia
until humans got here and started saying, all right, we're
gonna put Beatrice down here? Grand Island's up there. Grand
Island isn't that kind of a funny name for a
town in the middle of Nebraska. Hey, no one asked
you Grand Island's there, and put Hastings right next to it.
So how do we survive for all these years without

(38:55):
a tree planting program and other environmental people to look
at things and make sure everything was going fine? Rivers
seemed to know where it was going, trees managed to grow,
It was all fine. Forty million dollars.

Speaker 4 (39:08):
We shouldn't be planting trees in Nebraska. Nebraska is a desert.
Nebraska was one of the most arid states in the
Union before we started planting trees here. Just let him
grow along the rivers and we're good. Instead, we've planted
all these trees and now we have a bunch of
hay fever and allergies, and people used to move here
to get dry air for their their lung problems. And

(39:30):
then they kept moving further west. They went to Texas
and New Mexico in Arizona, and then they started planting
trees down there.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
Jim, I don't know if anything you just said is true.
It's true. You look it up. I'm not going to
argue and look it up. I'm not going to argue
with you.

Speaker 4 (39:44):
But then Jake Sterling Morton showed up, and you know,
he was kind of a botanist. In addition to being
a lot of bad things, he was a botanist. And
he's down there in Nebraska City, in addition to being
pretty much anti slavery, abolition and a few other things.
He's planting trees and in uh in his own greenhouses,
thinking we can do this here.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
And I thought Johnny Applesey did all that.

Speaker 4 (40:08):
He added a few trees along the way.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Little character they created to distract from Jay Sterling Morton going,
we like shade trees, but we like shade trees and
eight black bees not for them.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
You know, all right.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
Omaha City Councilman Ron Hugg wants to ban short term
rentals in Omaha. It took me a little bit to
dig into the short term rentals.

Speaker 4 (40:33):
What idea, let's do that. Let's get rid of airbnbs.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
I need to rent a U haul. No, no, not
those kind of short term rentals.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
I thought you hauls too, I know, Okay.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
Yeah, movies I can't.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
I can't go to I can't go to Applaus Video
and I can't. I can't do a short term rental.
And is Netflix still mailing DVDs to my mailbox? No,
these are your airbnbs, it's Jim pointed out there. Apparently
there are a lot of parties. People just rent up
an airbnb. They throw a wild party, they don't invite us.

(41:11):
Someone gets shot or, in the case of over the
weekend near fifty second and A Streets in South Omaha,
the paramedics had to show up and try and revive
a guy who had overdosed. He died at the scene. Meanwhile,
the neighbors there are saying, it's a Saturday night, it's
getting late, and there's a wild party going on fifty

(41:33):
second in a streets. Unless I'm missing a neighborhood in
my brain over there, we're not exactly talking about the
world's biggest houses. It's not a big, sprawling West Omaha
area where you've got two stories and ranches and all
the rest of its small houses at fifty second and
A or at least in that vicinity. But they're packing
them in throwing a wild party. Guide dies and countsmen

(41:55):
hug in that area says neighbors are complaining and they
want to ban short term housing rentals.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
Well you can't do that.

Speaker 4 (42:06):
You can tax them and drive them out of business.
Well you can tack on a bunch.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
Of fees here, that's even worse.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
No, here's here's what you do. If you're concerned that
perhaps your home is going to be used for a wild,
raging party. Why in the world would you rent your
house up and have people make your house look like
the end of sixteen candles. You got a pizza on
the record player, you got a guy trapped under the
coffee table, the ceiling is carved in. Why in the

(42:36):
why would you? Why would you rent out your house
if you're gonna get destroyed.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
You don't think they're gonna destroy it when you rent
it to them, especially if it's as a short term
rental and airbnb. You know, three four nights or whatever
the case may be. Uh, you don't think they're going
to go in there and turn it into a US
military demolition range, but they do, and often they do
a lot of damage until That's why you have a

(43:01):
credit card there. The credit card will be used to
pay for all of the damages. If somebody rents it.
There's nothing that city of Omaha can do. The state
of Nebraska has a ban on banning short term rentals
like your airbnb's, and so occasionally people need to sleep there.
They want to, you know, rent a house. They got
family coming into town, We'll rent a house. And oh,

(43:24):
Omaha isn't Nashville or Phoenix on the airbnb market, no,
or Vegas. But yeah, you know, it's a it's a
business that actually is actually quite lucrative for the local economy.
A lot of taxes are paid people. Tourists, typically from
out of town, are the ones who stay there, and
you want them here because tourists rent cars, which pays

(43:46):
off things like airport expansion, and tourists eat in restaurants
and that drives up food costs.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
Well, tourists can stay in hotels. I'm not renting my
house too, I'm not renting my house to strangers. And
you know what I always say, you go and rent
someone's house and you're staying in their home. I would
just feel like someone set up hitting cameras to watch me.
And if that's the case, that's what we do. Yeah,
if that's if that's the case, put on a show.
Just asking Jim Rowse what we needed to do with

(44:14):
sports and the curtains stuff. I said, Big Bunny, that
get a quote about big Bunny. Give me big Bird
Big Bunny in the Cookie Monster, Bad Bad Bunny is
your halftime performer on Sunday Evening.

Speaker 4 (44:27):
Breaking Bad Bunny. I'm I'm watching it. I'm not watching it.
I'm watching it. I'm watching the turning point halftime.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
What do you think is gonna happen if you watch it,
like suddenly you're gonna be able to trance and you
know you're gonna go to Minneapolis and start spraying any buildings.

Speaker 4 (44:42):
But don't center any of these other guys measuring what's
on my TV. I don't want to give that guy
any credit. I'm gonna flip over to the turning I'm
turning that baby off and I'm gonna flip over to
the Turning Point Show. Not that I really care much
about those guys, but I'm not gonna watch that halftime
show because that guy in so a white people. That
guy insulted Americans. Why would I give that guy patronage?

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Did he insult white people?

Speaker 5 (45:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (45:05):
Sure, he made a joke on Saturday Night Live. You
people are gonna have to learn Spanish. That's Saturday Night Live.
I don't care, it's a joke. No, out of bounce.
I thought he was funny and Happy Gilmore too. I'm
not like that movie.

Speaker 4 (45:22):
So anything that happened in Happy Gilmore Too, I've erased
it from my memory. They wrecked that very funny first movie.
They made him into a drunk, and they made him
into a loser, and no, he was none of those things.
Happy Gilmore was none of those things. Happy Gilmore is
a fictional creation. But whatever Sandler first, Happy Gilmour was

(45:46):
none of that stuff. But then they made him into
a slobbering drunk.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
But it's because his wife died.

Speaker 4 (45:52):
Suck it up. A lot of fish in the sea.

Speaker 1 (45:54):
All right, Fine, you watch whatever you want on Sunday
when you're the Huskers plan.

Speaker 4 (46:00):
They plan on sunday're playing on Saturday.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
Okay, good Now, you declared that Nebraska didn't have a
single tree but for around the rivers before settler showed up.

Speaker 4 (46:08):
Back when the Payout Indians and the Ogalalla and Omahasu
Indians were roaming the prairie.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Yes, and the zonker's custom was inbox Scott at kfab
dot com. Jordan says, the pioneers didn't build sod houses
for fun. There was no trees. There's no lumber. That's right,
that's Jordan. And then Linus says the Federal Timber Culture
Act of eighteen seventy three. Well, no, duh, Linus. Everyone
knows that allowed a settler to get one hundred and

(46:33):
sixty acres of land for planting as long as they
planted ten acres of trees. We've been planting trees in
Nebraska for a long tea.

Speaker 4 (46:41):
You know why, so that they could have something to
build buildings with and then alan to build the state
capitol with sod.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
Allen says, after hearing the sports brief, its official Roger
Goodell has consumed the kool aid. Now Greg is chastising me, says,
come on, man, support turning point I Jim is going
to watch the Turning Point halftime Show, the Alternative Half
Shit Halftime Show on Sunday. I will watch Bad Bunny

(47:10):
for as long as I can take it. It can't
be any worse than who is it Kendrick Lamar that
did the halftime show last year?

Speaker 4 (47:18):
I thought he's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
I didn't Bruno Mars and the opening act of the
Grammys awesome. Yeah, Bruno Mars his halftime show that's going
on fifteen years ago now. After Bruno O Mars did
the halftime show, I said, all right, that's it. Bruno
Mars should always do the super Bowl halftime show. That
was the best super Bowl halftime show of all time.

(47:41):
And yes, I watched the Prince one as well.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
That was good. Bruno Marris was better.

Speaker 4 (47:47):
Shanaia Twain halftime show is the best one of all time.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
Really, I don't even remember.

Speaker 4 (47:52):
That the last country actor was there. She really wasn't
even country that night. Well, I glammed her up and
made her, you know, more chicagoist.

Speaker 1 (48:04):
I don't mind Kid Rock. I saw him live back
in the day, back in the late nineties when he
was much more you know, sex, drugs and rock and roll.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Kind of a thing.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
He has been a bit more Nashville and a little
bit more tame kinda since he got all maga, which
is fine. You know, at some point some of us
have to grow up. I don't know why he went
into the White House dress like nineteen seventy three Elton
john on The Muppet Show. But did you know, fine,

(48:34):
you gotta hey, time to go visit the Oval Office
and meet the President. Where are all my spangles and
my streamers and my sequins in my hat? You saw
that get up he had on there, But be that
as it may. Kid Rock is a very talented performer.
And the country stars up there. Lee Brice was it,

(48:55):
Brantley Gilbert was at the other one. And then I said,
I didn't know who who's the other one here? Gabby Barrett.
I didn't know who that was. I don't even know
if it was a man or a woman. And then
Johnny sent me a text and said, pull your head
out of here, and sent me a picture of Gabby Barrett. Okay,
she's attractive. But you watched the Turning Point halftime show Sunday.

(49:18):
I'll give you a full report. I'll give you I'll
do the bad bunny thing. I'll watch that and we'll
see how it goes.

Speaker 4 (49:24):
I'm gonna have to subscribe, I guess to the website
or something. I don't know how I'm gonna get it yet,
Probably on my phone.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
I'll too on my phone.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
I don't know if you have to pay for it.
If Turning Points stream it on YouTube, I don't think so.

Speaker 4 (49:36):
It is their deal.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
I think the only time I've ever turned away from
the super Bowl during the game to see what else
was on was wasn't the Bud Bowl on another network?
Or it was either the Bud Bowl and or Puppy
bul Now Fox the in Living color. Back in the
late eighties or early nineties, they did an alternative halftime show.

(49:58):
But that's back when the Super Bowl halftime show you
wouldn't even see like they'd be a marching band or
something out there, and you might see it for a second,
but it'd be mostly you know, analysts talking about the game.
What a crazy concept, you know, like any other halftime
show of a football game. You don't see the artists
out there. Well, then everyone turned over to Fox to

(50:19):
watch in living color. Jim Carrey, the Wayns Brothers, all
those guys, and they all turned off the halftime show.
They all turned off the network feed of the Super Bowl.
And that's when the NFL and the Super Bowl people said,
do you think we can get Michael Jackson or someone
to do this? And that's when it became more of
a spectacle.

Speaker 4 (50:36):
Well, they got Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson and they
did tease or halftime of the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
I remember that, Lucy, you'll be happy about this news story.
Omaha is upgrading one hundred and forty three traffic lights
this year as part of a comprehensive plan the story
from KMTV three News Now to modernize more than one
thousand traffic signals across the city. They're looking at streets
that people tend to get all jammed up West Center

(51:04):
and Pacific specifically, especially that area from Center as it
comes around like Industrial Road one hundred and fifty six
and then comes back up and rejoins Center. That whole
area that is in the evening after four o'clock.

Speaker 3 (51:23):
Well, just don't drive on it after four o'clock.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
Well, some people live out there, or they need to
go pick up their kids, or go see a ballgame
at SCUD or something like that, and that area becomes
the Bermuda Triangle. It's just they're going to adjust the
signals so that the traffic flow can throw there, go
through there a little bit better.

Speaker 3 (51:42):
And and they just do that with a couple of
button pushes.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
Yeah, well that's what they're gonna do.

Speaker 3 (51:48):
Why do we need money for this?

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Well, I didn't say they needed money. They said they're
just gonna do it, and it's gonna take the year.
To Lousey's point, how about do it now? What button here,
I'll press it.

Speaker 3 (52:04):
They have to update to have control of that here.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
Yeah, they have to update the infrastructure. The plan includes
corridor retiming, reprogramming entire stretches of traffic signals to match
current traffic patterns. How about this, Ask Lucy where the
traffic is the worst every day, and then find out
where those roads are, and then you just turn all
the lights green so you can go.

Speaker 3 (52:28):
Well, here's a little tip for you. Just don't take
Center or Maple ever between ninetieth and one hundred, and
we'll go sixty eighth.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
I'll take Maple during drive time any day, morning or afternoon,
any day.

Speaker 3 (52:44):
Well, yeah, if you want to just drive it about
five miles per hour and stop it.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
Every Maple's not that bad, It's not, I don't think.

Speaker 5 (52:52):
So.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
Okay, getting stuck where you can't even take a left
onto the dodge on ramp from like one hundred and
sixty eight, so you can't even move, you can't get
on there, and then you have to try and merge
with traffic that takes forever. No thanks, I'll take Maple
or Blondo, I'll do that. I'll do every day. But
getting stuck on Center Street once you go west of

(53:14):
one hundred and twentieth in Center, forget it. You're gone.
No one will ever see you again. No, it's it's
just brutal. But a lot of people live out there.

Speaker 3 (53:23):
I have family, but they know ways around being on Center.
You don't want to be on Center, Oh yeah you have.
It's a terrible road. For one thing, it needs some work.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
You haven't grown up in Omahan till you know your way,
serpentineing through every single neighborhood, parking lot, all the rest
of that stuff. But here's another thing they're doing. They're
going to have fewer unnecessary red lights. I think that's great.
I hate it. There's two things I hate just two.

(53:54):
The the left arrow that's just unnecessarily red. You can
see for here to Montana, and there's not a car
within three counties of you. And it's like, hey, you
better not take a left. Everyone's gonna die. Like I'm
taking a left, I can see all the traffic, there's
no one coming. I'm taking a left. And then same

(54:15):
thing with the no turn on red signals at some intersections. Yeah,
to take a right, same thing. I can look out right, listen,
I can look to my left not see a car
for miles.

Speaker 3 (54:30):
But Scott, those have saved so many lives.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
I run him. I'm telling you, I'm not suggesting you
do that.

Speaker 3 (54:38):
Heard it here first.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
I run him and the Zonker's custom was inbox Scott
at kfab dot com. Angie says, Scott, that's all caps,
so disappointed in You don't give bad bunnies bad behavior
credit by watching it, something seldom said Jim Rose is right. Well,
see now she's taken a shot at both of us, Angie,

(55:00):
come on, we're gonna do We're talking about.

Speaker 2 (55:02):
It all this week.

Speaker 4 (55:03):
I'm just helping out here.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
We're talking about it all week. How am I supposed
to talk about it on Monday morning if necessary. If
I don't watch it, I'm doing that for you. You
guys can all go watch the Turning Point USA Alternative
Show with You'll be the only guy on my rock
and I'll be the only one watching bad Bunny. I
didn't say I'm gonna put on a dress, and he

(55:25):
might and say, you know, blank ice or anything like that.
I'm gonna buy all this music, but I bet I
don't hate it as much as I think I'm going
to hate it. His music's not terrible.

Speaker 4 (55:37):
The NFL is doing this because the NFL needs the
next generation of eighteen to thirty four year old males.
If you're fifty or sixty, the NFL doesn't watch anymore
because you're a not buying stuff. B you're not helping
because we need you to conceive.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
You are next.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
We're buying stuff. We're still paying for our kids. They're
living in our basements.

Speaker 4 (55:56):
But the NFL wants eighteen to thirty four year old
old men to become big fans if they're not already.
And he is number one in the world and Spotify
downloads number one in the world. More people download his
stuff than any other artist. Singing today, so they did
the numbers. They said, this is the kind of guy
we got to have at the super Bowl of all things.

(56:19):
And that's why he's there. He's not there because they
love his music, and he's not there because he puts
on dresses. He's there because a whole bunch of young
men love listening to his music.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
I will watch it good and if I feel the
need to report back on Monday. Bunny no, I asked him,
and he's like, Eh, he knows who he is. Yeah,
he knows everyone knows who he is. But yeah, I
just think there'll be people who have just kind of
heard that and like, oh, it's the halftime show, and
I just picture, like, you know, your grandparents just watching

(56:52):
it on Sunday. What, bargie, what is this that didn't
look like a bunny at all. I don't know what
this is. I want to watch your grandma watch the
Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday,
