Speaker 1 (00:00):
A lovely good morning. I'm Scott Vorhees here with Lucy
Chapman Craig Evans. When I asked Craig this morning, how
you doing, Craig, he said, lovely and truer words have
never been spoken. Where's Jim Rose? Oh, Jim is gone
for a few days. It'll be back on Monday. We're
here on Nebraska's morning news news radio eleven ten KFAB.
(00:22):
So it feels like temperature Sunday night in the Monday morning,
fifteen below zero is going to feel like about ninety
by Saturday afternoon, one hundred and five degree difference. Your
thermostat is going to think that you're a crazy person
if you have one of those smart thermostats and you've
just been monkeying with it all week, Like I got
(00:43):
to turn the heat on, I got to turn this
thing up here, moving it towards eighty degrees, and then
on Saturday, I'm getting the vapors I had turn this
thing down sixty five degrees. Your smart thermostat is going
to say you're drunk. I'm calling the authorities. It's going
to talk to your smart car and say I don't
think this person should drive this person's nuts. It's a
(01:06):
clinical term. But to put in another way, yesterday morning
because of the ice, and uh, I don't know if
it's actually if it was yesterday morning. We had some
of that ice in the mid afternoon. When was it
yesterday someone went up to their doctor's appointment at a
clinic in Papillion and slid right through the parking lot
and crashed into the building. Was that yesterday morning because
(01:28):
of ice or when the ice fell in the afternoon.
Let's just say yesterday.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I want to say it was yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Someone is like, I'm coming in hot and crashed right
through the big old window there of this clinic in
Papillion and a strip mall, and that got everyone's attention,
like what were you what were you coming here for?
And what do we have to deal with now that
you've come careening through the building? I can't park here? Yeah,
(02:00):
curbside parking. You got back that up. So yesterday someone
slid into their doctor's appointment. Thankfully, everyone's all right. Maybe
they were going to be late coming in.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
You don't want to.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Miss that, No, and we all might get heat stroke
here Friday and Saturday.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Or steak.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You can't I feel bad for people who move here
from a place like San Diego or the Monterey Peninsula
of California, which has a range in temperatures throughout the
year and every single day, and that range is between
sixty and seventy five degrees. Sometimes it gets a little warmer,
(02:47):
sometimes it gets a little cooler, but mostly every single day,
twenty four hours a day, we're somewhere between sixty five
and eighty degrees. And then you come here and your system,
your constitution can't take it. You've got to be strong
to be here from the Midwest to live here.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Well, most people have the blessings of a home and
a car and they don't feel it so much.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, that's a rant for this summer. I think when
it starts getting up to a heat index of one
point fifteen and people are like, oh no, it's so hot.
Oh no. Was it hot when you went from your
air conditioned home to your car in the garage, turned
on the air conditioning, and drove to work and walked
into your air conditioned building. Was it tough for you? Well,
(03:39):
we'll do that in July and August. There's a little preview. Okay,
that one you talk about hot, I am looking at
the latest here on the Sandhills wildfires. That biggest one
is the Moral Fire that's now six hundred and forty
three thousand, three hundred and sixty acres. It got bigger.
(04:00):
But I told you yesterday. What did I tell you yesterday?
Were you listening to it?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I always listened. Was it about the snow that might
be No? Was it about the winds?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Was it about the fireman?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I did talk about all those things. But what did
I tell you? If you're thinking away of saying I
thought that they were getting a handle on these yeah,
I told you that these fires would get bigger because
the land situation out there is sometimes it's better for
the firefighters to set up all of their tanks and
the berms and everything and allow the fire to kind
(04:34):
of come to them and then stop, because this is
where they had been able to set up a say, perimeter,
so it would increase before they start saying, all right,
and now it's time to shift this thing back into
a manageable gear. So the Moral Fire that's stretching across
five counties, this is the one north west of Ogalala
(04:56):
and Lake McConaughey, across parts of Keith, Arthur, Grant, Garden,
and Moral Counties is now up to six hundred and
forty three thousand plus acres, still at eighteen percent containment,
but they're saying this is expected the conditions when the
(05:16):
wind is dying down. Now it's much more favorable to
fight these fires. The one up by Valentine, just west
of Valentine, the Anderson Bridge fires at sixty percent containment.
Let's head south to the road two oh three fire
that's right next to the that's in the vicinity of
that Halsey forest out there, much better seventy six percent
(05:41):
containment thirty five almost thirty six thousand acres, but seventy
six percent containment in that area just southeast of Thedford
and just south of Halsey. And then Kozad where's Coset
Cottonwood fire just west Cosead. One hundred thirty one thousand
acres forty containment, So great days ahead for the firefighters
(06:05):
and the wind conditions able to put a better handle
on these fires in western Nebraska. Still just one fatality,
one too many, and Rose's family is mourning her loss.
And as far as the cattle and the conditions out there,
I'll tell you about that. Next. Shannon emails scottikfab dot com.
(06:27):
I'm Scott Borhees. There's Lucy Chapman. This is news Radio
eleven ten KFAB. Shannon says, concrete heaves during crazy temperature changes.
Will that actually fly off the ground this Saturday? Yeah,
with a one hundred degree difference in the span of
less than a week in the feels like temperature here
(06:47):
in the Omaha metro area, we're all gonna be swallowed
by sinkholes or you're going to have heaving concrete. I
wouldn't want to be on the street car when that
concrete heaves, and you're gonna med Lana right through downtown.
That'll be fun. Let's take a look here at what's
going on.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I thinktholes you haven't seen anything yet.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, jetpacks, we were supposed to have jet packs at
this point. The wildfires in western Nebraska have everyone's kind
of getting a better look at what's going on with
their land out there. And k e TV News Watch
seven talked with a rancher named Glenna, and Glenna looked
(07:34):
at what happened over the first few days of this
and she said just the erratic winds would switch so much,
blowing so hard. There was no rhyme or reason to
the direction it went. It was like when you let
a dog out in the backyard and I'm going over here,
I'm going over here, I go I'm tearing this way.
It was just all over the place, except not cute.
(07:54):
And she says she's grateful that their cattle are on harmed.
She says, some of these horses in their pasture they've
had for over twenty years. But she was scared she
was going to lose her horses. But now that everyone's
kind of safe there and they're out of that path,
(08:15):
they don't have anything on which to graze, and it
will probably be about a year before that land is
able to be grazed again. So for the cattle for horses,
whatever the national art, the Nebraska Cattlemen have organized a
relief fund on the Nebraska Cattleman website, and they're just
(08:36):
trying to find anyone throughout the agg producing Midwest that
has extra anything on which these these cattle can graze.
But the other issue is the fencing out there. Fenceive
burned up. And in addition to here's some feed and
(08:57):
whatever it is that various pigs chickens, horses, cattle will
be grazing on. They got to rebuild these fences, and
the president of the Nebraska Cattleman Craig Uten, says, a
lot of these fences could be up to fifteen thousand
dollars a mile. What has happened to the price of
barbed wire?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
What are they using?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I just see fence posts and barbed wire on a
lot of these things, But I don't know up to
fifteen thousand dollars a mile to rebuild these fences. There's
a lot of fences.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
That's really high.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, I think so too. I don't know, but with labor, Yeah,
it's they're just very grateful that everyone's okay at the
one woman who lost your life, but they're very thankful
for the firefighters who've worked countless hours to keep everyone
safe in these fires. Now the eleven ten kfab certified
Transmission sports Brief. Jim Rose is out for a few days.
(09:54):
I'm Scott Voh. He's looking at tonight's basketball game. Yeah,
March Madness is underway. The men got started last night,
but tonight it's Nebraska head coach Amy Williams and the
Nebraska corn Huskers women's team.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
We're dancing. We're dancing, just really excited for our team.
This is a team that has worked hard. We've had
some ups and downs this season, but it's a group
that's been fired up to try to just get better
over the last week and want to take advantage of
the opportunity in front of us.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Corn Huskers played tonight. They got the Richmond I think
it's the Richmond Spiders. I'll double check that for the
eleventh seed in Region two. Huskers entered this tournament eighteen
and twelve overall. But the men got started last night.
The whistle, the ball will go. He Ron's left sets
up like a QB hallam, it's helpful.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
The screens cocks the ball back, throws it over halps,
Williams catches.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
He shot at Bonn named over Texas plan at.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Sweating blocks that he got it on the floor and
the Longhorns survive midnight, Sean Miller has got it again.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Texas wins at sixty eight to sixty six. Yeah, these
are the play in games to get into the big bracket,
and it was Texas against NC State in that dramatic
final shot there for the Longhorns sixty eight sixty six
win for them. Howard advances beating UMBC. Also a close
game eighty six eighty three. A couple more play in
(11:22):
games tonight for the man It's Prairie View A and
m versus Lee High. That's the first game at just
after five thirty Omaha time, and then later at about
a quarter after eight Miami of Ohio undefeated will take
on SMU. Nebraska plays tomorrow morning about eleven forty tip
from Oklahoma City against Troy. Sewan Callahan will be live
(11:42):
in Oklahoma City with the details in case you're thinking,
what about the Blue Jays, they're playing in the Crown.
When does that start? Not until April second, so you
got some time. And last night in baseball, the big
baseball game, the World Baseball Classic stages. That is a
(12:03):
big win there for Venezuela over a team USA three
to two. The final from Miami and that sports brief.
Now Andy Williams doesn't know what he's talking about. This
this is the most wonderful time of the year. Last
week's tip off of the boys State basketball Tournament in
Nebraska to win the final putt drops on Sunday at Augusta.
(12:24):
That stretch of about five weeks. It is this is
this is Christmas season.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I love Christmas season, don't get me wrong, but this
is the most wonderful time of the year.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Now it's opened like a true golfer.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Golfer basketball fan, someone who enjoys looking at a forecast
saying Sunday in seventy eighty by Fred eighty eight on Saturday,
you know, it's just it's exciting time. I want things
greening up. I want the blossoms to come out of
my magnolia tree.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I want you to get some skin on your color
or color on your skin. You're gonna go out and tan.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I suddenly want something else.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
You need to go tan. Come on, get yourself out there,
get cattle, translucency gone.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I can put some color on this skin red. It's
either going to be very white or very red. There
is no in between. I do not tan, and I'll
ask you not to shame my ethnicity. I don't know
why it's suddenly okay to be racist against translucent Dutch people.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I'm looking forward to getting out there and getting some
tan to cover up the foot.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
You can you make fun of the color of my skin,
but next time we're stuck in a cave with no light.
My thighs will light will illuminate our path.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
And we got to hold you upside down then.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
And you'll say thanks Scott's thighs.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Put you on the roof, tag you up there like
a like a no, we're not doing.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Any of that. Call these things stalagtites.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
No, these things.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
That's the ceiling. What are you talking? What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Were you were? You know, the the long tube bulbs.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Like that fluorescent.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Get the Scott fluorescence out?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, yeah, they're about that same. Well, I got a
I'm getting a bit more heft to me here. I'll
tell you what. Sitting here for five six hours a
day not helping be better shape?
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Right my U?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I think everyone is hoping the conversation goes in this
direction and we do take requests. Uh so here it
is the contours of my my hind, my hind quarters flattening.
They've gone gone from really no definition at all, flat
flat's definition. I'm like one of those Minecraft characters. I'm
(14:54):
just boxing now.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Aren't those more like legos something like that? Like squares?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
See what's going on in Iran? I say this, Look,
there's no possible way I can say this without offending everybody.
So here it is. I don't know why President Trump
is so against men transitioning into women and identifying as
women when he's acting like a woman right now when
(15:24):
it comes to talking to world leaders, when it comes
to Iran, like, hey, you got to come over here
and help me.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I didn't start that. What do you need? I need
some help? Okay, Well, let me see what we can.
Never mind, we don't need you, Like, I don't know
what you want right now, I don't know what you want.
President Trump is he's all mad and he's all huffy,
and he has every right to be. He rightly points
out anytime anyone anywhere in the world has any issues,
(15:55):
everything from a conflict to an earthquake to a typhoon
to it's okay, how can the United States help? Oh,
Russia just invaded Ukraine again? How can the United States help?
Hamas just popped off again in the Middle East? How
can the United States help? A typhoon comes washing up
(16:16):
against Japan? How can the United States help? France surrendered?
I didn't even know anyone was threatening them. How can
the United States help? And then he says, okay, Iran
was gonna kill all of us, and we stopped them.
You're welcome, but now we got to get these oil
tankers through the strait of horror moves. And the rest
of the world's like looking at their fingernails. Okay, yeah,
(16:40):
we'll be We're gonna, We're gonna get there. And Trump's like, no, no, now,
And they said, we didn't, we didn't know you were
doing this. We weren't prepared for this. What do you
got a military for, What do you got a navy for?
Sends some drone something. Let's go. We're always there for you.
We need you to be there for us that you
bet fit from this oil as well. Let's help us
(17:02):
out Iran's blowing stuff up. And they said a few
different nations said okay, we'll do it. France surrendered, the
United Kingdom and Canada publicly declined to join any of
our efforts over there. The Chancellor Germany's acting like a
big baby, and it's it's and I don't necessarily blame them.
There is some argument to we didn't start this, but
(17:26):
there's also a correct ascertation. Is that a word? An
assertion here from President Trump that when Iran got their nukes,
and they were tripling, quadrupling their efforts to do so.
After we bunker busted them pretty good to stop them
from doing so, they're like, all right, we're going to
get this one way or another. And they started getting
(17:49):
after it again and they were going to use it,
and so we stopped them again. And they were going
to use it against France, they were going to use
it against Germany, They're gonna use it against Italy anywhere
they could. So we stopped them, and the rest of
the world's like, hey, thanks for that. Okay, now help
us get the tankers through. Well, we're pretty busy here,
busy doing what what's more important than this? So now
(18:11):
US Force has dropped multiple five thousand pound bombs on
the Iranian missile sites along the coastline of the Strait
of Hormuz to stop them from putting mines in there
or drone attacks against tankers and to threaten these ships.
So we're out there just blowing up all this stuff again.
(18:31):
And President Trump says, we don't need these people, we
don't need any help. He went all caps on true
social we don't need your help.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
If you were asked to do a task that you
knew one hundred percent somebody else was going to do it,
or and or there were there would be no repercussions
if you didn't do such said task. Would you do it?
These countries know that there's not going to be any
repercussions if they don't help.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
They're not sure. And Trump hasn't said, but tariffs. I
don't know. Maybe we pull ourselves out of NATO. There's
a process for doing that. We're gonna need Congress. Congress
couldn't even find their rear ends with both hands, so
there's probably very little chance of that. But who knows
what Trump will do. He's mad and he said we'll
(19:21):
do this ourselves, We'll do it live.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And Trump is yelling, well, are they trumpeting to the
rest of the world that they cannot defend their countries
at the drop of a hat?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Ooh, that's probably something that China is wondering. Good question.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
A new study finds listening to music at least twenty
four minutes in a day may significantly decrease anxiety. The
study involved one hundred and forty four adults with anxiety
and on medication. Researchers concluded that twenty four minutes was
the key to lessening anxiety and an improvement in negative moods.
I'm Craig Evans more news at the top of the
(19:57):
hour at news Radio eleven ten KFAB.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
The number one preset on your car radio and on
our free new and improved iHeartRadio app Listen for all
your music, radio and podcasts free Niver sounded so good.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, we had a couple hours of music last night
here on news Radio eleven ten KFAB. Craig Evan's story there.
But listening to the music is good for you. Yeah,
we thought we'd just take Glenn Beck off the radio
from six to eight and I played DJ for a
couple of hours. What which was when fun last night
from six to eight?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
From six to eight.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I'll talk more about that at seven thirty five, because
I about once or twice a year I have to
do that and play anything good. Not I didn't play
anything good now, none of it. We just played a
lot of bad music for two hours. But there was
(20:54):
there was a fantastic email that came in that I
need to pay more tribute to and we'll do that
at seven five in the Zonker's custom was inbox. Frank
Emails via Scott at kfab dot com about the panhandlefires, says,
I haven't seen or heard any reports on how the
calving season is affected by the Panhandled fires.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Did you just say calving calving?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Sorry? Well, yeah, whether or not the cows are going
to give birth to calves and those calves would be
named Calvin.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Or wearing Calvin jeans.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
No, I'm better off as a DJ. Yes. Uh. The
woman I mentioned earlier this hour that talked to k
E TV News Watch seven said that they're shifting from
calving to just rebuilding, including fence lines.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Frank also wonders if any of these fires are near
oil rigs. That's a good question and I'll see if
I can follow up on that one for you, Frank.
But as far as the fencing, we were talking about
it being up to fifteen thousand dollars a mile to
repair these fences, and we were saying, what this seems
(22:07):
like a lot of money, right, And that's what you said.
That was my impersonation to you. No good one, Lauren
is emailing with a lot of math. Lucy follow a
los Common wood fence post spacing sixteen point five feet
one mile three hundred twenty posts a mile five thousand,
two hundred and eighty feet four wire fence four or
five wire that's twenty one thousand, one hundred twenty feet.
(22:29):
A wire tractor supply has thirteen twenty feet of barbed
wire for one hundred and twenty nine dollars ninety nine
cents and eight foot wooden treated fence post twenty two
dollars ninety nine cents. So you got two thousand, seventy
nine dollars eighty four cents for wire seventy thousand, three
hundred and fifty six eighty four posts. That's material costs
a nine thousand, four hundred and thirty six dollars sixty
(22:49):
four cents. Now, depending on the terrain, the remoteness, the
need to get the materials to the side, any demo
needed of old wire and post remnants, it's not unlikely
to see a few thousand dollars in labors of fifteen
thousand dollars miles not unrealistic.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I didn't say it was realistic or not. I just
I was surprised.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Did you understand anything? I just said absolutely. I tried
to do it like a good caller out of broken bow,
like the great Dave Davis. Yeah, it makes a fantastic auctioneer.
The Pride of Broken Bow, the Great the Late Dave Davis,
Good morning, and thank you very much for waking up
(23:25):
after either staying up all night or trying to sleep
it off. Or maybe you were a good boy or girl.

or girl. Maybe you have no idea what you did
last night or even what gender you are. No matter what,
you are in the right place, and we are so
glad to have you here. We can recommend good therapists.
(23:48):
I am Scott Voorhees, Lucy Chapman, Craig Evans here as well.
This is News Radio eleven to ten kfa B, Nebraska's
morning News. Jim Rose out for a few days. Yeah,
the irishman Jim Rose. Did you know Jim was Irish?
I always thought, you know, very very pale skin, red hair.
I thought Somali. But it turns out he's Irish. And
(24:11):
then not here the day after Saint Patrick's Day.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Oh had not put that together.
Speaker 1 (24:18):

You no, well, I.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Mean if by tear it up, watch the new Steve
Carroll comedy.
Speaker 1 (24:30):

Speaker 1 (24:39):
How is it?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
It's pretty good? Actually?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
All right, what's the bet here? You want to bet
that Lucy can name this show? If I ask her
what the name is, I'm going to say no, all right,
we're all in the No, Lucy, what's the name of
this series you watched? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Is it Buster?
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I don't know. I didn't watch it.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Oh, I thought you knew the title. No, it's like
buster Buster Luster or something like that.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Did they remake the Phil Collins movie? There you go.
No one was expecting to hear that reference today, Phil Collins.
They said, Phil, we like you, Let's make a movie.
He's like, but I'm a singer in a band. Yep,
let's make a movie. The soundtrack will be great. The
movie no one saw it. No one knows. Maybe it
(25:24):
was great. No one saw it, So I'm going to
presume it was a remake of the nineteen eighties Phil
Collins vehicle Buster, now starring Steve Carroll, does have an
English guy in it, Aka Correll. Speaking of English guys,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Why you always have to give me such a hard time.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Why do you make it so easy? I'm not look,
Jim's not here. You're getting my full attention. I know
this is what you wanted when you send him away.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Sometimes you gotta be careful what you wish for.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yesterday was not just Satrick's Day, and I hope that
your revelry was fun and safe.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
What did you do?

nineteen years old. I said, you want to go to
a bar and she said no. I was gonna go
to a sports bar, a family sports bar environment Taco Tuesday.
But we decided to stay home and I ended up
burning the dinner because suddenly it was time to play DJ.
(26:32):
I was like, oh, here, stir this, and that was
asking a lot of her, so we didn't. We we
had some burned food last night. M good.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
It was marshmallows.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
It's okay, it's not marshmallows. But my wife got me
a pack of peeps and I've been saving them for
what you do you a special occasion March madness games?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Do you open them up and let them dry out?
People do that, and that's gross.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah, it depends on how big the pack is.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
There.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
If they get one of the big packs with like
three rows of peeps, I'll probably just tear down one
row at a time and the other ones will they'll
they'll marinate in oxygen.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Put him on the end of a stick, put him
over a fire.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
That's good. Yesterday wasn't just Saint Patrick's Day. This was
also the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the day
British forces evacuated the city of Boston. They had Evacuation
Day commemoration to say, all right, it is March seventeenth,
seventeen seventy six when General George Washington. I have heard
(27:46):
of him. He was He was a quarter model. He
was a model back in the seventeen seventies. They said,
you have a great profile. We should put you on money,
and he said money, yeah, So I put him on
They put him on the quarter. They put him on
the dollar. So he was a model who sat there
for portraits so they could put him on money. And
(28:09):
he was also apparently a general. He fortified Dorchester's Heights
with artillery hauled in from nearby Fort Tykwonderoga with the
assistance of Colonel Henry Knox, prompting the British evacuation, the
Continental Army's first major victory in the Revolutionary War. The
Brits were moved out of Boston. In Boston so we
(28:34):
don't want you guys here, thus beginning a two hundred
and fifty year melting pot of nothing but angry bloated
white guys in Boston. So they had to get the
Brits out of there.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Is that why Saint Patrick says so big there? They
had two celebrations.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
I don't know. They named the team the Celtics. They
solidify a stereotype and they don't care. They had a
big celebration and they had all the re enactors out
there in their eighteenth century military coats and those tri
corner hats. Some of them were wearing them. Anyway, have
you ever been to Boston. It's a very very cool city.
(29:13):
Have not, Oh, it's very cool. And we wound up
in Salem. Spent a lot of time in Salem, and
I thought, I wonder if this community hates all the
witch stuff. Nope, they're all witch three sixty five. They
love all the witch sturs. It's just the money tourism Yeah,
and stupid ghost tours and we did all of it
(29:34):
super fun. But Boston was cool.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Did you have some beans?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I had beans and went into the Cheers bar, and
it took some time to mark the solemn Boston Marathon
bombing site. Yeah, Boston, and flipped off the home of
the Celtics, the Boston Garden Go Lakers. Craig liked the
reference to the Phil Collins film Busters. So here's what
(30:00):
one of two hit songs from that soundtrack. It's Bill
Collins and two Hearts. So let's play the whole song. No,
we don't do that here on news radio eleven kfa V.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
Time you have to.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Actually talk to me. Hey, let's play some music.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Well, we all will make a judgment call depending on
how this goes. Okay, by the way, what was the
other hit song from the soundtrack to the nineteen eighties
Phil Collins movie Buster. Both of them were number one
hit songs. One was two Hearts, the other one was
a remake and it was can Hurry Love gruby kind
of Love? Well, I was close, you were close, and
(30:38):
that's the end of that conversation.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Did you want me to add more? I can't hurry
love is one of my absolute least favorite songs.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Oh no ever, no matter? Really?
Speaker 5 (30:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Is it because that you didn't listen and you hurried
love and you just no one likes to be proved
wrong like they had the advice It was right there,
and I hurried love, even though I was told several
times by a few different artists that I could not
hurry love. I did anyway, and it didn't work out.
And I don't like I don't like my decisions being
(31:15):
thrown in my face. Rather than internalize this and blame yourself,
you've decided to blame Diana Ross and Phil.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Collins had not considered that I'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
And Cindy bird Song.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Cindy Birdsong, isn't she.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
One of the members of the Supremes?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Oh? And Mary Yes, Mary Watson Wells.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Mary Wells. Yeah. Rod Emails says you said it, Scott.
This is obviously a different conversation. Trump asked for help
from partner nations and NATO to prove his point that
NATO is obsolete. America pays sixty five percent of the
total amount to NATO, while others pay or less than
(32:01):
one percent, so America's getting ripped off. Taking advantage of
just for being a NATO. These countries spend very little
to nothing in this organization to expect America to be
there for protection. We waste money, soldiers and equipment, and
the one time we ask for help, we get nothing.
So those countries proved the point Trump has been making.
(32:22):
It's from Rod sent to Scott at kfab dot com.
You can send your emails as well, and these zonkers.
A custom woulds inbox or via the talkback mike right
there on our free iHeartRadio apps. Send a message with
your own voice right here into said Zonker's custom was
inbox Lucy Chapman and Craig Evans there. I'm Scott borhees
Jim Rose out of town for a few days. Can
(32:45):
I tell people what he's doing?
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Well, I don't know if you can or you can't
because you don't tell me anything, and certainly he doesn't
tell me anything, So I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I'm gonna tell you what Jim is doing. I hope
he's not too upset.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
But he's listening.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
He is uh, oh's Jim's listening. Jim listens. This is
the weirdest thing about Jim Rose. He listens when he's
not here, when he's sitting in the studio with headphones on,
doesn't pay attention to anything happening here. But when he's gone,
I get a barrage of text messages about the programming
(33:21):
on this radio station. It's the weirdest thing. You know
what Jim is doing? No, he Well, I'm not gonna
take you. So here's a name. No, Jim is he's
officiating a wedding for a family member, and he has
to travel for that because apparently Jim is Jim has
(33:42):
never necessary paperwork he printed off and he's able to
officiate weddings.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
That's kind of frightening.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Christian weddings take that, Atheists, all right, Tiver wedding going
down here? You get over here, get over here? What
the hell's going on? I can't say that? And the
things that'd be fun. Maybe I'll take a few days off,
go down there and see how that goes.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Maybe you should take a few days off and learn
how to be efficient at weddings and you can take
some time off.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
No, that's a lot of that's a lot of pressure.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Well, plus you're mixed, I'm what now you're mad.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
From religious denomination? Yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I at least said you were half Catholic.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I'm full Christian. Now which church I'm in on any
given Sunday, whether that's Catholic, whether that's I don't even
know what this particular. I've been going to another church
here recently, and it's one of those that's like denomination.
We just love the Lord Protestant, I don't know's some
sort of And sometimes I'm on the golf course, a
(34:52):
lot of talk with the Lord out there for real,
and not just requesting that he darn various shots. Uh no, no, yeah,
out in nature, that's what you spending some time. No,
spending some time walking and talking and listening, not golf
is I think it's a religious experience. Oh, I really do. No,
(35:14):
it's not about golf. Let's get a couple of emails
in here. First of all, Frank whoa. Frank says, I'm
not shocked that grumps like you and Lucy would bash
groovy kind of love. It was our wedding song when
my wife and I got married twenty seven years ago.
We didn't bash groovy kind of love. We referenced it,
(35:36):
and then Lucy bashed can't hurry love? A different cover
song by Phil Collins. I wouldn't bash anything Phil Collins
ever done. I celebrate the man's entire catalog and Genesis
and Peter Gabriel. Genesis is okay, some of that experimental,
proud rock. It's like, all right, let's do a seventeen
minute song that goes nowhere. Okay, that's one way to
(35:57):
live your life. But I uh love that stuff.
Speaker 5 (36:00):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I've been listening to a lot lately, Home by the Sea,
classic Genesis, early Phil Collins crazy song.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
I've been listening to a lot of John Prine lately.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Yeah, last night here on this radio station there was
some music, but no, Frank, we were not We were
not bashing that song. Lucy was bashing a different song,
but not that one. Nor am I grumpy. I'm gonna
prove it to you. I can. You cannot make me
grumpy today. Hear from the talkback.
Speaker 5 (36:29):
Mike he's ruining KFAV the morning show.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I think he's talking about me now when.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
He gets Mayor Jim Jean Stafford, Jim Jean, he's got
to stay on there and gonna ruin her show. She's
a good personality and people can listen to KFAB without
him listening. He's rude, loud, loud, and I don't know
(36:57):
what else to say. He is no.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
I admit, if you really really don't like me, that
you're gonna have a hard time on this radio station.
We're here on the morning show. I'm on till ten,
and I am not going to be a permanent fixture
on the KFAB comment line with Jean Stouther. Gene won't
let me leave. I'm weaning myself off of there so
(37:23):
I can put producer Peyton high Lock in there. And
today I'm gonna have to because I have other responsibilities
after ten, and she has a guest coming on and
everything else. But I am I do not want to
be on this radio station twenty four to seven, which
brings us to last night. Glenn Beck wasn't on.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
It wasn't on.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Well here here's what I'm on.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
We couldn't carry it.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Yeah, I got sidetracked. I know I'm bad at that too.
So let me let me do this traffic, weather and
a news update. Then I'll explain why there was music
on this radio station for two hours last night, and and.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Everybody liked it.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Actually, we got a lot of great response from that,
but there was one email that stood out among the
other ones, and we couldn't get to her request last night.
But we'll do that and I'll explain why next music.
Greg Evans says it helps to helps your mood. Twenty
four minutes a day. We had two hours of music
on this radio station last night. I had an early
(38:23):
heads up. Well yesterday morning at five o'clock the Fox
News Rundown pregame show here to Nebraska's Morning News wasn't there,
so we started the show early, which was a surprise
to Lucy and Jim when everyone came wandering by the studio,
go what am I late? What time is it after six?
Is it old days? Are we starting before? So? We
(38:44):
had some satellite technical issues and someone told me yesterday
I had two experts tell me yesterday. One said I
don't think the first hour Glenn Beck's going to be
there at six. I said, all right, we can cover it.
And then another person said, I don't think any of
the three hours of Glenn Beck are going to be
(39:04):
there from six to nine, So what about everything else? Yeah?
Probably like great will. So I was near the computer
because I can play DJ from my computer at home
and some people are like, well, why don't you just
do the whole show. I can't go live from my
computer at home, nor do I really have the capacity
(39:24):
to start cutting up segments of that morning's radio show
or anything. But I can put music in there, and
I do have some pre recorded stuff I can also
throw in that says yep, we're playing music because the
technical difficulties. We take requests. Send me an email Scott
at kfab dot com. I got the greatest email from
Akuay last night. They said, can you play that Maxine
(39:48):
Nightingale song from a slapshot? He's like, I haven't requested
a song on the radio since I was ten, that
was forty years ago. Can you play my song?
Speaker 4 (39:56):
Like you bet?
Speaker 5 (39:57):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (39:57):
And played his song? He's like, that was awesome thing.
So I really was taking requests last night and ended
up being two hours, and then Glenn was back and
I couldn't get to one and it was from a
listener named Connie. Connie sent me an email and she said,
(40:19):
this is the last Saint Patrick's day in the service
industry for me. After twenty five years. I don't think
I'll ever like Saint Patrick's day. I quit so she
left her job in the service industry. I'm guessing restaurant bar.
And we just take a moment to appreciate all the
(40:42):
connies out there who so many of us take for granted.
We look past, we dehumanize, we belittle.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
We go.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
You call this a rum and coke. You know, we
treat them like garbage and they don't have to put
up with it. Connie last night decided she was done.
She says, will you play a song for me?
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Take this job and chovy I ain't work.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
I appreciate her standing up for herself. I don't know.
Maybe in the light of day to day she might
change her mind and go back to work in some way.
But let's just all take a moment to appreciate all
the connies out there before they tell us get your
own drink.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
This job and shoving I ain't working.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Treat people better, especially those in the service industry. They're
bringing you all the stuff. This is Nebraska's morning news
news radio eleven to ten KFAB. We got Craig Evans
as well. Jim Rose is out for a few days
here he's back on Monday. Update. For those of you
who missed it earlier in the program. Yes, the fires
(41:53):
in the Sandhills did increase in acreage, but that was
expected emergency management by virtue of just the fact that
there's sprawling land and it's not called the sand Hills
for nothing. It is hills. And so if you just
go out there in the Sandhills with your various fire
(42:14):
trucks and water tanks and all the rest of it,
it's not easy to start driving through that land. You
have to set up perimeters on roads, the country roads,
the few and far between country roads. So they said
we're going to go from seven hundred thousand some acres
in these fires to over eight hundred thousand, which is
(42:34):
where we are this morning. But with the wind calming
down and the fact that they said it's going to
burn a little bit more. Yes, it's only eighteen percent
containment still with that moral fire, but they've got favorable conditions.
Wish we had some rain, but favorable wind conditions, and
they do have perimeters set up there to try and
(42:55):
now try and contain that from getting too much further.
But that's the latest there. And then a couple of
those other smaller fires which are still really big up
around Valentine or near kozad higher percentage containment on those
The ranchers out there saying, we don't have any feed
and we're gonna have to rebuild a lot of fences,
(43:17):
which is a lot more expensive than we city people realized.
Like a fence, I mean like a six foot privacy fence.
It's just a fence post and barbed wire. Yes, over
miles and miles and miles. It's pretty expensive. They said
it could be fifteen thousand dollars a mile for some
of these fences. So the Nebraska cattlemen are trying to
(43:39):
get resources together for feed and fences for our friends
in central and western Nebraska.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
Can ask a dumb question you may not know.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
I will, I promise I will give you a dumb answer.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
Is there anything we can do with Here's the dumb part.
Is there anything we can do with like not grassings,
but clearing brush around any other place that can all
be shipped out there? I mean, I don't know, can count.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
It's not a dumb It's not a dumb question because
anytime we have storm damage here, like take all your
branches down to the zoo and they feed them to
the ducks. You know. So no, it's not a dumb question.
I do not have an answer yet that Let's try
and get the Nebraska Cattleman president on here and we
(44:28):
can pepper him with lots of dumb questions. See what
more we can do to help, because right now I
can give money, but you know, if you're trying to
feed horses and cattle, they'll eat money. I don't know
if it's nutritious, probably not good for especially coins.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
Well, there don't have a lot of pennies.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
So right here in the Omaha metro area, here's the
kind of thing with which we are dealing. You have
a horror story. And the parents of this fifteen year
old boy who was inviting older men to his house
for Yeah, there needs to be a lot of a
(45:14):
lot of parenting, lot of stuff going on there. So
they found a couple of older men who are all
too happy to go to this West Omaha home, crawl
through his basement window and meet up with this teenage
boy who was not of age to consent to such activity.
These two older men have been have been caught. And
(45:34):
because they was a young male, and because there was
video evidence of what was happening, you've got a lot
of a lot of bad crimes, first degree assault. You've
got the visual depiction of said assault. You had two
(45:54):
guys in custody. Both went before a judge. Douglas County Judge,
District Judge Derek Vaughan got the first guy in there,
his name's Eric, and Eric on one of the charges
thirty to fifty years in prison, on the other one
twenty to thirty five years in prison. Now, this other
(46:16):
guy did exactly the same thing with exactly the same kid.
He was supposed to go before Judge Vaughan. But Judge Vaughan,
since he saw the first guy and before he's had
co defendant Bradley in court, suddenly got promoted. He's up
to the Nebraska Supreme Court. So the governor then appointed
replacement here on the district bench. And this judge is
(46:39):
Judge Rich McGowan. So Judge McGowan gets the other guy,
same charges on this one. He says, well, let's do
probation on one and up to three years on the
other one. Now the attorney for this guy on the
much lesser charges is skipping out of that courtroom. The
(47:02):
other judge is or the other defense attorneys saying whoa
wha whoa, my client wants to go before Judge McGowan
because this Judge Vaughan, he was very, very mean, and
everyone else is going bring judge, let Judge Vaughn do
all this stuff. Who's this guy, Judge McGowan, he was,
(47:24):
according to court transcripts, when the prosecutor said, wait, wait, wait,
the last guy here in the same courtroom with the
different judge got decades more for the same crime. And
he said, Judge Vaughn is not here or available to
make any decisions on this guy's sentencing. I am the law.
The governor has entrusted me to make this decision. So
(47:47):
you've got Judge dread there in the courtroom pulling and
I am the law. He actually said that, and others
like County Attorney here in Douglas County Don Klein, said,
we think this is out of bounds, and we will
be looking at the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals
to take this up.
Speaker 2 (48:08):
What do they think is out of bounds? The first
the second one, or the second one with virtually no
sentence at all.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
Yeah, slap on the ril, same crimes, different judges, And
this is why who ends up being in the robe
is an important thing, same crime, vastly different sentences. Hey
speaking up perversion, which is always the best way to start.
I mean, I went to broadcasting school, and if you
(48:36):
can start any segment with a speaking up perversion, first
thing in broadcasting school, you start every sentence with hey,
speaking of perversion. Florida lawmakers have hit a pause, not
a stop, but a pause.
Speaker 5 (48:50):
See.
Speaker 1 (48:51):
There was one lawmaker in Florida said I don't think
first cousins should be allowed to marry in Florida, and
other lawmakers are like, yeah, probably, but hold hold on.
He's like, there are lots of people to marry who
are not your first cousin. By the way, that was
an actual argument in Florida bate. This state representative, Dean Black,
(49:14):
says Florida should join the majority of states that don't
allow first cousin marriage. He says, quote, there are plenty
of people to marry who aren't your first cousin unquote,
and they were gonna ban it as of July. June
really is the best time to get married anyway. I mean,
you got the family there. You got the family, not
(49:35):
the families, You got the family.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
Everybody already knows each other, No it's a family reunion.
Speaker 1 (49:43):
And you're thinking, now, wait a second, you mean the
majority of states that don't allow first cousin marriage. How
many states do allow first cousin marriage? Lucy, you want
to take a shot.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
It's the majority that they do. I'm going to say there.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
Are eight double it sixteen state Oh sixteen, yeah, sixteen
states allow you to marry your first cousin. They are
in alphabetical order, Alabama, Alaska, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont,
(50:18):
and Virginia. There are some nuances in other states. For example,
in North Carolina, you can marry your cousin. I mean,
come on, provided that your cousin is not a double
first cousin. Do you know what that means?
Speaker 2 (50:32):
Oh my gosh, I can only imagine.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
That means that two brothers married two sisters who are
not their sisters. Then you have double first cousins.
Speaker 2 (50:45):
And you're thinking the siblings didn't get married any no, no, okay, right.
Speaker 1 (50:48):
And you're thinking, does that ever happen? Let me tell
you about my first grade class when they said, all right,
you're gonna do your family treat, and mine started looking
like shrubbery. And my teacher said, what's going on here?
And I said, well, the two brothers married sisters, And
she said, this explains a lot in my family. The
(51:10):
Vorhees brothers married the Hevron sisters, producing double first cousins.
Speaker 2 (51:21):
How are they double first cousins?
Speaker 1 (51:23):
That's just what they call it, all right, it's all
on the up and up. I assure you, and I
don't want to marry Kurt or Nick. They're fine fellows.
I love them so much. I do not want to
marry them.
Speaker 5 (51:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
Married. There are so many people out there to marry
who aren't your first cousin. Go to your second cousin.
Gas prizes are up, stock market is down, and most
Americans who have nothing to do with Iran, we don't
have military families ready to pounce. We put gas in
(51:57):
our cars. We look at our retire ironment accounts, and
we look at our own level of patients, which is,
I don't know about you, pretty much gone. It's been gone,
gone for years. There is no reserve. There's just impatience.
There's twenty four to seven lack of patients. So in
(52:18):
that state, we as Americans look at what's going on
here with Iran, and most people were done immediately and
others are getting doner as the it's an economic war
here at home. The short term pain expected pain for
(52:39):
a lot of people. It's like, oh, we got to
pay more for this. Certainly there are those the paycheck
to paycheck or that those in the TSA Department of
Homeland Security not getting paychecks right now. It's a lot
of scrambling for relief. The White House says, oh, the
gas prices, that's a temporary issue. It's a drop like
(53:00):
a rock once we're done over there, and people are like, well,
what what are we doing? And when are we done
over there? Yesterday an intelligence director a counter terrorism agency
left the Trump administration. What's that about. This guy's name
is Joe Kent and he was a counter terrorism official
(53:22):
within the Trump administration. And he said, I don't know
what we're doing in Iran. Retired Special Forces officer, six
Bronze Stars, eleven combat deployments. Guy knows what he's doing.
And he looks at Heran and said, I don't know
what we're doing here. Now, there'd be a lot of
(53:44):
people who say, I think we should have that voice
there in the room to lean on the military commanders
and the commander in chief to be able to provide
that perspective. Is there more going on with this guy? Yeah,
I think there is. It was January of two thousand nineteen.
We are in the Trump administration and we America not
(54:05):
a lot, but we had some Americans in Syria, and
this guy, Joe Kent, said we never should have been
in Syria. And for him it's personal. His wife was
one of those who was killed by a suicide bomber
January sixteenth, twenty nineteen, in Syria. His wife was a
(54:26):
Navy linguist who was killed by that suicide bombing in
January twenty nineteen. It was her first deployment since having children.
So yeah, he takes all this very personally. And you
can say, I don't think it's a good idea to
(54:47):
cave to Israeli pressure. That's what he said, to send
this next generation of wives, mothers off to fight and
die in a war that serves no benefit to the
American people. He's understandably close to the issue. He's stepped
(55:08):
away from his job. I wish him the best President Trump,
not so much. Guy's a lightweight. It's a good thing
he's gone very weak in security and all the rest
of that stuff. I don't mind having a voice close
to the Trump administration to say, let's make sure we
know what we're doing and we're going about it the
right way here. And I would say that from our
(55:32):
perspective if we're just looking at it right now, going
stock markets down, gas prices are up, and we got
uncertainty here and there, and I just I don't know.
I thought we took out their nuclear capabilities last year
with the big mother of all bunker busting bombs, and
why do we have to do this? From our perspective,
(55:53):
where we don't work for the Pentagon, we don't work
in the Trump administration, it is very easy for those
of us out here to look at this and go
I don't want to pay more for gas. I don't
want the stock market to go down. I liked when
it was up. I liked when the Dow was over
fifty thousand points, and I thought we were continuing to
move forward. You're not wrong in thinking that you either
(56:19):
have some reliance that the people in charge making these
decisions have our best interests at heart. When the President
says Iran was getting too close to getting a nuclear weapon,
and if they would have gotten it, they would have
used it within twenty four hours. They would have used
it against Israel, they would have used it against the
(56:41):
United States, they would have used it against Europe. And
so we were in a position to do something about it.
We did something about it. Everyone's very happy we did
something about it. They just don't want to pay for
it and deal with the short term effects of higher
gas prices. And how are we going to get these
oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz? And who's going
to help? So you either hear the president say that,
(57:04):
who says Iran was going to start World War three
and it was going to be nuclear and we stopped them.
And yeah, there'll be some short term pain with the stocks,
with the gas prizes, it's going to be short term.
Don't worry. It won't last long. Two weeks to flatten
the curve and then it'll all be fine. You either
(57:24):
hear him say that and believe him, or you hear
him say that and go, this seems like the wrong move.
Either way, we're in it. We've got to get out
of this quickly. But we've got to get out of
it the right way. So when I look at the
House and the Senate, they can't even get the government
(57:46):
and we're still in a partial government shutdown. These guys
can't even issue paychecks to TSA workers. In the Congress,
they decided to subpoena Attorney General Pam BONDI why Epstein?
And people are like, why won't the president go to
Congress and get further declaration for what he's doing in Iran?
(58:08):
There are some people saying, I think Congress should be
permanently shut down and disbanded. You either hear the president
say these things and you believe him or you don't.
But we're doing it. I hope. And I say this
about all administrations, whether it's the Trump administration getting us
(58:31):
into Iran, whether it was the Stothard administration getting us
into a street car. You look at these people in
charge and go, I hope they know what they're doing. Guz,
this is what we're doing. Scott at kfab dot com
weigh in, give me your thoughts here, what's your level
of patience with all of this? And the Zonker's custom
was inbox Scott at kfab dot com. Still battling the
(58:54):
wildfires in the Panhandle and in the Sandhills, thankfully, just
like the wind is dying down here on the east
the eastern seaboard of Nebraska. The wind is dying down
in the Panhandle as well. But no rain in the
forecast for the sand Hills. So good on the wind,
bad on the precipitation. On the director of the National
(59:17):
counter Terrorism Center resigning, saying, I don't know why we're
in Iran. That's Joe Kent leaving the Trump administration. President
Trump says, good riddons, get out of here. Emails here
as I just requested in the Zonker's custom was inbox
Scott atkfab dot com. The Geezer says that same man
who resigned praise to President Trump previously, So I wonder
(59:40):
what made him? Man made him mad? Well Iran, I guess.
Mike says that guy Kent also sent a tweet in
twenty twenty talking about pre emptive strikes on Iran to
rid them of their military capabilities. So what does he
really believe? And Reeves says, I support big d I
(01:00:04):
believe that would be the President Donald Trump, and I
believe we need to take out a run, but I
think we need to get the Straight open and get out.
The only thing I don't understand is why is oil
going up. I thought we were self sufficient and oil.
I'm a little confused on that. Yeah, twenty percent of
the nation's oil goes through that strait you mentioned. They're reed,
(01:00:24):
the strait of horror mooze. But oil is a fungible commodity,
I meaning the more throughout the world or the less
throughout the world, or concerns about the stability of it
getting it out of the Straight two refineries to China,
for example, if there's pressures there, it makes the cost
(01:00:45):
of all of it go up. We're not going to
run out, but it is gonna be more expensive. And
as far as the sacrifice of paying more for gas,
John hits the nail on the head and said people
should look back at history and see what sacrifices were
made during World War War two. John, thank you for
that email.
A lovely good morning. I'm Scott Vorhees here with Lucy
Chapman Craig Evans. When I asked Craig this morning, how
you doing, Craig, he said, lovely and truer words have
never been spoken. Where's Jim Rose? Oh, Jim is gone
for a few days. It'll be back on Monday. We're
here on Nebraska's morning news news radio eleven ten KFAB.
(00:22):
So it feels like temperature Sunday night in the Monday morning,
fifteen below zero is going to feel like about ninety
by Saturday afternoon, one hundred and five degree difference. Your
thermostat is going to think that you're a crazy person
if you have one of those smart thermostats and you've
just been monkeying with it all week, Like I got
(00:43):
to turn the heat on, I got to turn this
thing up here, moving it towards eighty degrees, and then
on Saturday, I'm getting the vapors I had turn this
thing down sixty five degrees. Your smart thermostat is going
to say you're drunk. I'm calling the authorities. It's going
to talk to your smart car and say I don't
think this person should drive this person's nuts. It's a
(01:06):
clinical term. But to put in another way, yesterday morning
because of the ice, and uh, I don't know if
it's actually if it was yesterday morning. We had some
of that ice in the mid afternoon. When was it
yesterday someone went up to their doctor's appointment at a
clinic in Papillion and slid right through the parking lot
and crashed into the building. Was that yesterday morning because
(01:28):
of ice or when the ice fell in the afternoon.
Let's just say yesterday.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I want to say it was yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Someone is like, I'm coming in hot and crashed right
through the big old window there of this clinic in
Papillion and a strip mall, and that got everyone's attention,
like what were you what were you coming here for?
And what do we have to deal with now that
you've come careening through the building? I can't park here? Yeah,
(02:00):
curbside parking. You got back that up. So yesterday someone
slid into their doctor's appointment. Thankfully, everyone's all right. Maybe
they were going to be late coming in.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
You don't want to.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Miss that, No, and we all might get heat stroke
here Friday and Saturday.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Or steak.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You can't I feel bad for people who move here
from a place like San Diego or the Monterey Peninsula
of California, which has a range in temperatures throughout the
year and every single day, and that range is between
sixty and seventy five degrees. Sometimes it gets a little warmer,
(02:47):
sometimes it gets a little cooler, but mostly every single day,
twenty four hours a day, we're somewhere between sixty five
and eighty degrees. And then you come here and your system,
your constitution can't take it. You've got to be strong
to be here from the Midwest to live here.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Well, most people have the blessings of a home and
a car and they don't feel it so much.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, that's a rant for this summer. I think when
it starts getting up to a heat index of one
point fifteen and people are like, oh no, it's so hot.
Oh no. Was it hot when you went from your
air conditioned home to your car in the garage, turned
on the air conditioning, and drove to work and walked
into your air conditioned building. Was it tough for you? Well,
(03:39):
we'll do that in July and August. There's a little preview. Okay,
that one you talk about hot, I am looking at
the latest here on the Sandhills wildfires. That biggest one
is the Moral Fire that's now six hundred and forty
three thousand, three hundred and sixty acres. It got bigger.
(04:00):
But I told you yesterday. What did I tell you yesterday?
Were you listening to it?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I always listened. Was it about the snow that might
be No? Was it about the winds?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Was it about the fireman?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I did talk about all those things. But what did
I tell you? If you're thinking away of saying I
thought that they were getting a handle on these yeah,
I told you that these fires would get bigger because
the land situation out there is sometimes it's better for
the firefighters to set up all of their tanks and
the berms and everything and allow the fire to kind
(04:34):
of come to them and then stop, because this is
where they had been able to set up a say, perimeter,
so it would increase before they start saying, all right,
and now it's time to shift this thing back into
a manageable gear. So the Moral Fire that's stretching across
five counties, this is the one north west of Ogalala
(04:56):
and Lake McConaughey, across parts of Keith, Arthur, Grant, Garden,
and Moral Counties is now up to six hundred and
forty three thousand plus acres, still at eighteen percent containment,
but they're saying this is expected the conditions when the
(05:16):
wind is dying down. Now it's much more favorable to
fight these fires. The one up by Valentine, just west
of Valentine, the Anderson Bridge fires at sixty percent containment.
Let's head south to the road two oh three fire
that's right next to the that's in the vicinity of
that Halsey forest out there, much better seventy six percent
(05:41):
containment thirty five almost thirty six thousand acres, but seventy
six percent containment in that area just southeast of Thedford
and just south of Halsey. And then Kozad where's Coset
Cottonwood fire just west Cosead. One hundred thirty one thousand
acres forty containment, So great days ahead for the firefighters
(06:05):
and the wind conditions able to put a better handle
on these fires in western Nebraska. Still just one fatality,
one too many, and Rose's family is mourning her loss.
And as far as the cattle and the conditions out there,
I'll tell you about that. Next. Shannon emails scottikfab dot com.
(06:27):
I'm Scott Borhees. There's Lucy Chapman. This is news Radio
eleven ten KFAB. Shannon says, concrete heaves during crazy temperature changes.
Will that actually fly off the ground this Saturday? Yeah,
with a one hundred degree difference in the span of
less than a week in the feels like temperature here
(06:47):
in the Omaha metro area, we're all gonna be swallowed
by sinkholes or you're going to have heaving concrete. I
wouldn't want to be on the street car when that
concrete heaves, and you're gonna med Lana right through downtown.
That'll be fun. Let's take a look here at what's
going on.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I thinktholes you haven't seen anything yet.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, jetpacks, we were supposed to have jet packs at
this point. The wildfires in western Nebraska have everyone's kind
of getting a better look at what's going on with
their land out there. And k e TV News Watch
seven talked with a rancher named Glenna, and Glenna looked
(07:34):
at what happened over the first few days of this
and she said just the erratic winds would switch so much,
blowing so hard. There was no rhyme or reason to
the direction it went. It was like when you let
a dog out in the backyard and I'm going over here,
I'm going over here, I go I'm tearing this way.
It was just all over the place, except not cute.
(07:54):
And she says she's grateful that their cattle are on harmed.
She says, some of these horses in their pasture they've
had for over twenty years. But she was scared she
was going to lose her horses. But now that everyone's
kind of safe there and they're out of that path,
(08:15):
they don't have anything on which to graze, and it
will probably be about a year before that land is
able to be grazed again. So for the cattle for horses,
whatever the national art, the Nebraska Cattlemen have organized a
relief fund on the Nebraska Cattleman website, and they're just
(08:36):
trying to find anyone throughout the agg producing Midwest that
has extra anything on which these these cattle can graze.
But the other issue is the fencing out there. Fenceive
burned up. And in addition to here's some feed and
(08:57):
whatever it is that various pigs chickens, horses, cattle will
be grazing on. They got to rebuild these fences, and
the president of the Nebraska Cattleman Craig Uten, says, a
lot of these fences could be up to fifteen thousand
dollars a mile. What has happened to the price of
barbed wire?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
What are they using?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I just see fence posts and barbed wire on a
lot of these things, But I don't know up to
fifteen thousand dollars a mile to rebuild these fences. There's
a lot of fences.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
That's really high.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, I think so too. I don't know, but with labor, Yeah,
it's they're just very grateful that everyone's okay at the
one woman who lost your life, but they're very thankful
for the firefighters who've worked countless hours to keep everyone
safe in these fires. Now the eleven ten kfab certified
Transmission sports Brief. Jim Rose is out for a few days.
(09:54):
I'm Scott Voh. He's looking at tonight's basketball game. Yeah,
March Madness is underway. The men got started last night,
but tonight it's Nebraska head coach Amy Williams and the
Nebraska corn Huskers women's team.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
We're dancing. We're dancing, just really excited for our team.
This is a team that has worked hard. We've had
some ups and downs this season, but it's a group
that's been fired up to try to just get better
over the last week and want to take advantage of
the opportunity in front of us.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Corn Huskers played tonight. They got the Richmond I think
it's the Richmond Spiders. I'll double check that for the
eleventh seed in Region two. Huskers entered this tournament eighteen
and twelve overall. But the men got started last night.
The whistle, the ball will go. He Ron's left sets
up like a QB hallam, it's helpful.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
The screens cocks the ball back, throws it over halps,
Williams catches.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
He shot at Bonn named over Texas plan at.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Sweating blocks that he got it on the floor and
the Longhorns survive midnight, Sean Miller has got it again.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Texas wins at sixty eight to sixty six. Yeah, these
are the play in games to get into the big bracket,
and it was Texas against NC State in that dramatic
final shot there for the Longhorns sixty eight sixty six
win for them. Howard advances beating UMBC. Also a close
game eighty six eighty three. A couple more play in
(11:22):
games tonight for the man It's Prairie View A and
m versus Lee High. That's the first game at just
after five thirty Omaha time, and then later at about
a quarter after eight Miami of Ohio undefeated will take
on SMU. Nebraska plays tomorrow morning about eleven forty tip
from Oklahoma City against Troy. Sewan Callahan will be live
(11:42):
in Oklahoma City with the details in case you're thinking,
what about the Blue Jays, they're playing in the Crown.
When does that start? Not until April second, so you
got some time. And last night in baseball, the big
baseball game, the World Baseball Classic stages. That is a
(12:03):
big win there for Venezuela over a team USA three
to two. The final from Miami and that sports brief.
Now Andy Williams doesn't know what he's talking about. This
this is the most wonderful time of the year. Last
week's tip off of the boys State basketball Tournament in
Nebraska to win the final putt drops on Sunday at Augusta.
(12:24):
That stretch of about five weeks. It is this is
this is Christmas season.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I love Christmas season, don't get me wrong, but this
is the most wonderful time of the year.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Now it's opened like a true golfer.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Golfer basketball fan, someone who enjoys looking at a forecast
saying Sunday in seventy eighty by Fred eighty eight on Saturday,
you know, it's just it's exciting time. I want things
greening up. I want the blossoms to come out of
my magnolia tree.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I want you to get some skin on your color
or color on your skin. You're gonna go out and tan.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I suddenly want something else.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
You need to go tan. Come on, get yourself out there,
get cattle, translucency gone.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I can put some color on this skin red. It's
either going to be very white or very red. There
is no in between. I do not tan, and I'll
ask you not to shame my ethnicity. I don't know
why it's suddenly okay to be racist against translucent Dutch people.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I'm looking forward to getting out there and getting some
tan to cover up the foot.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
You can you make fun of the color of my skin,
but next time we're stuck in a cave with no light.
My thighs will light will illuminate our path.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
And we got to hold you upside down then.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
And you'll say thanks Scott's thighs.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Put you on the roof, tag you up there like
a like a no, we're not doing.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Any of that. Call these things stalagtites.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
No, these things.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
That's the ceiling. What are you talking? What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Were you were? You know, the the long tube bulbs.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Like that fluorescent.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Get the Scott fluorescence out?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, yeah, they're about that same. Well, I got a
I'm getting a bit more heft to me here. I'll
tell you what. Sitting here for five six hours a
day not helping be better shape?
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Right my U?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I think everyone is hoping the conversation goes in this
direction and we do take requests. Uh so here it
is the contours of my my hind, my hind quarters flattening.
They've gone gone from really no definition at all, flat
flat's definition. I'm like one of those Minecraft characters. I'm
(14:54):
just boxing now.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Aren't those more like legos something like that? Like squares?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
See what's going on in Iran? I say this, Look,
there's no possible way I can say this without offending everybody.
So here it is. I don't know why President Trump
is so against men transitioning into women and identifying as
women when he's acting like a woman right now when
(15:24):
it comes to talking to world leaders, when it comes
to Iran, like, hey, you got to come over here
and help me.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I didn't start that. What do you need? I need
some help? Okay, Well, let me see what we can.
Never mind, we don't need you, Like, I don't know
what you want right now, I don't know what you want.
President Trump is he's all mad and he's all huffy,
and he has every right to be. He rightly points
out anytime anyone anywhere in the world has any issues,
(15:55):
everything from a conflict to an earthquake to a typhoon
to it's okay, how can the United States help? Oh,
Russia just invaded Ukraine again? How can the United States help?
Hamas just popped off again in the Middle East? How
can the United States help? A typhoon comes washing up
(16:16):
against Japan? How can the United States help? France surrendered?
I didn't even know anyone was threatening them. How can
the United States help? And then he says, okay, Iran
was gonna kill all of us, and we stopped them.
You're welcome, but now we got to get these oil
tankers through the strait of horror moves. And the rest
of the world's like looking at their fingernails. Okay, yeah,
(16:40):
we'll be We're gonna, We're gonna get there. And Trump's like, no, no, now,
And they said, we didn't, we didn't know you were
doing this. We weren't prepared for this. What do you
got a military for, What do you got a navy for?
Sends some drone something. Let's go. We're always there for you.
We need you to be there for us that you
bet fit from this oil as well. Let's help us
(17:02):
out Iran's blowing stuff up. And they said a few
different nations said okay, we'll do it. France surrendered, the
United Kingdom and Canada publicly declined to join any of
our efforts over there. The Chancellor Germany's acting like a
big baby, and it's it's and I don't necessarily blame them.
There is some argument to we didn't start this, but
(17:26):
there's also a correct ascertation. Is that a word? An
assertion here from President Trump that when Iran got their nukes,
and they were tripling, quadrupling their efforts to do so.
After we bunker busted them pretty good to stop them
from doing so, they're like, all right, we're going to
get this one way or another. And they started getting
(17:49):
after it again and they were going to use it,
and so we stopped them again. And they were going
to use it against France, they were going to use
it against Germany, They're gonna use it against Italy anywhere
they could. So we stopped them, and the rest of
the world's like, hey, thanks for that. Okay, now help
us get the tankers through. Well, we're pretty busy here,
busy doing what what's more important than this? So now
(18:11):
US Force has dropped multiple five thousand pound bombs on
the Iranian missile sites along the coastline of the Strait
of Hormuz to stop them from putting mines in there
or drone attacks against tankers and to threaten these ships.
So we're out there just blowing up all this stuff again.
(18:31):
And President Trump says, we don't need these people, we
don't need any help. He went all caps on true
social we don't need your help.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
If you were asked to do a task that you
knew one hundred percent somebody else was going to do it,
or and or there were there would be no repercussions
if you didn't do such said task. Would you do it?
These countries know that there's not going to be any
repercussions if they don't help.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
They're not sure. And Trump hasn't said, but tariffs. I
don't know. Maybe we pull ourselves out of NATO. There's
a process for doing that. We're gonna need Congress. Congress
couldn't even find their rear ends with both hands, so
there's probably very little chance of that. But who knows
what Trump will do. He's mad and he said we'll
(19:21):
do this ourselves, We'll do it live.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And Trump is yelling, well, are they trumpeting to the
rest of the world that they cannot defend their countries
at the drop of a hat?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Ooh, that's probably something that China is wondering. Good question.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
A new study finds listening to music at least twenty
four minutes in a day may significantly decrease anxiety. The
study involved one hundred and forty four adults with anxiety
and on medication. Researchers concluded that twenty four minutes was
the key to lessening anxiety and an improvement in negative moods.
I'm Craig Evans more news at the top of the
(19:57):
hour at news Radio eleven ten KFAB.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
The number one preset on your car radio and on
our free new and improved iHeartRadio app Listen for all
your music, radio and podcasts free Niver sounded so good.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, we had a couple hours of music last night
here on news Radio eleven ten KFAB. Craig Evan's story there.
But listening to the music is good for you. Yeah,
we thought we'd just take Glenn Beck off the radio
from six to eight and I played DJ for a
couple of hours. What which was when fun last night
from six to eight?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
From six to eight.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I'll talk more about that at seven thirty five, because
I about once or twice a year I have to
do that and play anything good. Not I didn't play
anything good now, none of it. We just played a
lot of bad music for two hours. But there was
(20:54):
there was a fantastic email that came in that I
need to pay more tribute to and we'll do that
at seven five in the Zonker's custom was inbox. Frank
Emails via Scott at kfab dot com about the panhandlefires, says,
I haven't seen or heard any reports on how the
calving season is affected by the Panhandled fires.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Did you just say calving calving?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Sorry? Well, yeah, whether or not the cows are going
to give birth to calves and those calves would be
named Calvin.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Or wearing Calvin jeans.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
No, I'm better off as a DJ. Yes. Uh. The
woman I mentioned earlier this hour that talked to k
E TV News Watch seven said that they're shifting from
calving to just rebuilding, including fence lines.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Frank also wonders if any of these fires are near
oil rigs. That's a good question and I'll see if
I can follow up on that one for you, Frank.
But as far as the fencing, we were talking about
it being up to fifteen thousand dollars a mile to
repair these fences, and we were saying, what this seems
(22:07):
like a lot of money, right, And that's what you said.
That was my impersonation to you. No good one, Lauren
is emailing with a lot of math. Lucy follow a
los Common wood fence post spacing sixteen point five feet
one mile three hundred twenty posts a mile five thousand,
two hundred and eighty feet four wire fence four or
five wire that's twenty one thousand, one hundred twenty feet.
(22:29):
A wire tractor supply has thirteen twenty feet of barbed
wire for one hundred and twenty nine dollars ninety nine
cents and eight foot wooden treated fence post twenty two
dollars ninety nine cents. So you got two thousand, seventy
nine dollars eighty four cents for wire seventy thousand, three
hundred and fifty six eighty four posts. That's material costs
a nine thousand, four hundred and thirty six dollars sixty
(22:49):
four cents. Now, depending on the terrain, the remoteness, the
need to get the materials to the side, any demo
needed of old wire and post remnants, it's not unlikely
to see a few thousand dollars in labors of fifteen
thousand dollars miles not unrealistic.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I didn't say it was realistic or not. I just
I was surprised.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Did you understand anything? I just said absolutely. I tried
to do it like a good caller out of broken bow,
like the great Dave Davis. Yeah, it makes a fantastic auctioneer.
The Pride of Broken Bow, the Great the Late Dave Davis,
Good morning, and thank you very much for waking up
(23:25):
after either staying up all night or trying to sleep
it off. Or maybe you were a good boy or girl.
Maybe you don't know whether you were a good boy
or girl. Maybe you have no idea what you did
last night or even what gender you are. No matter what,
you are in the right place, and we are so
glad to have you here. We can recommend good therapists.
(23:48):
I am Scott Voorhees, Lucy Chapman, Craig Evans here as well.
This is News Radio eleven to ten kfa B, Nebraska's
morning News. Jim Rose out for a few days. Yeah,
the irishman Jim Rose. Did you know Jim was Irish?
I always thought, you know, very very pale skin, red hair.
I thought Somali. But it turns out he's Irish. And
(24:11):
then not here the day after Saint Patrick's Day.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Oh had not put that together.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Did you go tear it up last night or what did? I? Yeah?
You no, well, I.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Mean if by tear it up, watch the new Steve
Carroll comedy.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yeah. Is he related to Steve Carell?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
That guy his new series, Steve Carrell his new series?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Watch that?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
How is it?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
It's pretty good? Actually?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
All right, what's the bet here? You want to bet
that Lucy can name this show? If I ask her
what the name is, I'm going to say no, all right,
we're all in the No, Lucy, what's the name of
this series you watched? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Is it Buster?
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I don't know. I didn't watch it.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Oh, I thought you knew the title. No, it's like
buster Buster Luster or something like that.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Did they remake the Phil Collins movie? There you go.
No one was expecting to hear that reference today, Phil Collins.
They said, Phil, we like you, Let's make a movie.
He's like, but I'm a singer in a band. Yep,
let's make a movie. The soundtrack will be great. The
movie no one saw it. No one knows. Maybe it
(25:24):
was great. No one saw it, So I'm going to
presume it was a remake of the nineteen eighties Phil
Collins vehicle Buster, now starring Steve Carroll, does have an
English guy in it, Aka Correll. Speaking of English guys,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Why you always have to give me such a hard time.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Why do you make it so easy? I'm not look,
Jim's not here. You're getting my full attention. I know
this is what you wanted when you send him away.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Sometimes you gotta be careful what you wish for.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yesterday was not just Satrick's Day, and I hope that
your revelry was fun and safe.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
What did you do?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I didn't do anything.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Oh yeah, you played dj.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
DJ on kfa B last night. I did ask my daughter,
nineteen years old. I said, you want to go to
a bar and she said no. I was gonna go
to a sports bar, a family sports bar environment Taco Tuesday.
But we decided to stay home and I ended up
burning the dinner because suddenly it was time to play DJ.
(26:32):
I was like, oh, here, stir this, and that was
asking a lot of her, so we didn't. We we
had some burned food last night. M good.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
It was marshmallows.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
It's okay, it's not marshmallows. But my wife got me
a pack of peeps and I've been saving them for
what you do you a special occasion March madness games?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Do you open them up and let them dry out?
People do that, and that's gross.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah, it depends on how big the pack is.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
There.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
If they get one of the big packs with like
three rows of peeps, I'll probably just tear down one
row at a time and the other ones will they'll
they'll marinate in oxygen.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Put him on the end of a stick, put him
over a fire.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
That's good. Yesterday wasn't just Saint Patrick's Day. This was
also the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the day
British forces evacuated the city of Boston. They had Evacuation
Day commemoration to say, all right, it is March seventeenth,
seventeen seventy six when General George Washington. I have heard
(27:46):
of him. He was He was a quarter model. He
was a model back in the seventeen seventies. They said,
you have a great profile. We should put you on money,
and he said money, yeah, So I put him on
They put him on the quarter. They put him on
the dollar. So he was a model who sat there
for portraits so they could put him on money. And
(28:09):
he was also apparently a general. He fortified Dorchester's Heights
with artillery hauled in from nearby Fort Tykwonderoga with the
assistance of Colonel Henry Knox, prompting the British evacuation, the
Continental Army's first major victory in the Revolutionary War. The
Brits were moved out of Boston. In Boston so we
(28:34):
don't want you guys here, thus beginning a two hundred
and fifty year melting pot of nothing but angry bloated
white guys in Boston. So they had to get the
Brits out of there.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Is that why Saint Patrick says so big there? They
had two celebrations.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
I don't know. They named the team the Celtics. They
solidify a stereotype and they don't care. They had a
big celebration and they had all the re enactors out
there in their eighteenth century military coats and those tri
corner hats. Some of them were wearing them. Anyway, have
you ever been to Boston. It's a very very cool city.
(29:13):
Have not, Oh, it's very cool. And we wound up
in Salem. Spent a lot of time in Salem, and
I thought, I wonder if this community hates all the
witch stuff. Nope, they're all witch three sixty five. They
love all the witch sturs. It's just the money tourism Yeah,
and stupid ghost tours and we did all of it
(29:34):
super fun. But Boston was cool.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Did you have some beans?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I had beans and went into the Cheers bar, and
it took some time to mark the solemn Boston Marathon
bombing site. Yeah, Boston, and flipped off the home of
the Celtics, the Boston Garden Go Lakers. Craig liked the
reference to the Phil Collins film Busters. So here's what
(30:00):
one of two hit songs from that soundtrack. It's Bill
Collins and two Hearts. So let's play the whole song. No,
we don't do that here on news radio eleven kfa V.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
Time you have to.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Actually talk to me. Hey, let's play some music.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Well, we all will make a judgment call depending on
how this goes. Okay, by the way, what was the
other hit song from the soundtrack to the nineteen eighties
Phil Collins movie Buster. Both of them were number one
hit songs. One was two Hearts, the other one was
a remake and it was can Hurry Love gruby kind
of Love? Well, I was close, you were close, and
(30:38):
that's the end of that conversation.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Did you want me to add more? I can't hurry
love is one of my absolute least favorite songs.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Oh no ever, no matter? Really?
Speaker 5 (30:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Is it because that you didn't listen and you hurried
love and you just no one likes to be proved
wrong like they had the advice It was right there,
and I hurried love, even though I was told several
times by a few different artists that I could not
hurry love. I did anyway, and it didn't work out.
And I don't like I don't like my decisions being
(31:15):
thrown in my face. Rather than internalize this and blame yourself,
you've decided to blame Diana Ross and Phil.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Collins had not considered that I'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
And Cindy bird Song.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Cindy Birdsong, isn't she.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
One of the members of the Supremes?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Oh? And Mary Yes, Mary Watson Wells.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Mary Wells. Yeah. Rod Emails says you said it, Scott.
This is obviously a different conversation. Trump asked for help
from partner nations and NATO to prove his point that
NATO is obsolete. America pays sixty five percent of the
total amount to NATO, while others pay or less than
(32:01):
one percent, so America's getting ripped off. Taking advantage of
just for being a NATO. These countries spend very little
to nothing in this organization to expect America to be
there for protection. We waste money, soldiers and equipment, and
the one time we ask for help, we get nothing.
So those countries proved the point Trump has been making.
(32:22):
It's from Rod sent to Scott at kfab dot com.
You can send your emails as well, and these zonkers.
A custom woulds inbox or via the talkback mike right
there on our free iHeartRadio apps. Send a message with
your own voice right here into said Zonker's custom was

Jim Rose out of town for a few days. Can
(32:45):
I tell people what he's doing?
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Well, I don't know if you can or you can't
because you don't tell me anything, and certainly he doesn't
tell me anything, So I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I'm gonna tell you what Jim is doing. I hope
he's not too upset.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
But he's listening.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
He is uh, oh's Jim's listening. Jim listens. This is
the weirdest thing about Jim Rose. He listens when he's
not here, when he's sitting in the studio with headphones on,
doesn't pay attention to anything happening here. But when he's gone,
I get a barrage of text messages about the programming
(33:21):
on this radio station. It's the weirdest thing. You know
what Jim is doing? No, he Well, I'm not gonna
take you. So here's a name. No, Jim is he's
officiating a wedding for a family member, and he has
to travel for that because apparently Jim is Jim has
(33:42):
never necessary paperwork he printed off and he's able to
officiate weddings.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
That's kind of frightening.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Christian weddings take that, Atheists, all right, Tiver wedding going
down here? You get over here, get over here? What
the hell's going on? I can't say that? And the
things that'd be fun. Maybe I'll take a few days off,
go down there and see how that goes.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Maybe you should take a few days off and learn
how to be efficient at weddings and you can take
some time off.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
No, that's a lot of that's a lot of pressure.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Well, plus you're mixed, I'm what now you're mad.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
From religious denomination? Yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I at least said you were half Catholic.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I'm full Christian. Now which church I'm in on any
given Sunday, whether that's Catholic, whether that's I don't even
know what this particular. I've been going to another church
here recently, and it's one of those that's like denomination.
We just love the Lord Protestant, I don't know's some
sort of And sometimes I'm on the golf course, a
(34:52):
lot of talk with the Lord out there for real,
and not just requesting that he darn various shots. Uh no, no, yeah,
out in nature, that's what you spending some time. No,
spending some time walking and talking and listening, not golf
is I think it's a religious experience. Oh, I really do. No,
(35:14):
it's not about golf. Let's get a couple of emails
in here. First of all, Frank whoa. Frank says, I'm
not shocked that grumps like you and Lucy would bash
groovy kind of love. It was our wedding song when
my wife and I got married twenty seven years ago.
We didn't bash groovy kind of love. We referenced it,
(35:36):
and then Lucy bashed can't hurry love? A different cover
song by Phil Collins. I wouldn't bash anything Phil Collins
ever done. I celebrate the man's entire catalog and Genesis
and Peter Gabriel. Genesis is okay, some of that experimental,
proud rock. It's like, all right, let's do a seventeen
minute song that goes nowhere. Okay, that's one way to
(35:57):
live your life. But I uh love that stuff.
Speaker 5 (36:00):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I've been listening to a lot lately, Home by the Sea,
classic Genesis, early Phil Collins crazy song.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
I've been listening to a lot of John Prine lately.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Yeah, last night here on this radio station there was
some music, but no, Frank, we were not We were
not bashing that song. Lucy was bashing a different song,
but not that one. Nor am I grumpy. I'm gonna
prove it to you. I can. You cannot make me
grumpy today. Hear from the talkback.
Speaker 5 (36:29):
Mike he's ruining KFAV the morning show.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I think he's talking about me now when.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
He gets Mayor Jim Jean Stafford, Jim Jean, he's got
to stay on there and gonna ruin her show. She's
a good personality and people can listen to KFAB without
him listening. He's rude, loud, loud, and I don't know
(36:57):
what else to say. He is no.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
I admit, if you really really don't like me, that
you're gonna have a hard time on this radio station.
We're here on the morning show. I'm on till ten,
and I am not going to be a permanent fixture
on the KFAB comment line with Jean Stouther. Gene won't
let me leave. I'm weaning myself off of there so
(37:23):
I can put producer Peyton high Lock in there. And
today I'm gonna have to because I have other responsibilities
after ten, and she has a guest coming on and
everything else. But I am I do not want to
be on this radio station twenty four to seven, which
brings us to last night. Glenn Beck wasn't on.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
It wasn't on.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Well here here's what I'm on.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
We couldn't carry it.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Yeah, I got sidetracked. I know I'm bad at that too.
So let me let me do this traffic, weather and
a news update. Then I'll explain why there was music
on this radio station for two hours last night, and and.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Everybody liked it.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Actually, we got a lot of great response from that,
but there was one email that stood out among the
other ones, and we couldn't get to her request last night.
But we'll do that and I'll explain why next music.
Greg Evans says it helps to helps your mood. Twenty
four minutes a day. We had two hours of music
on this radio station last night. I had an early
(38:23):
heads up. Well yesterday morning at five o'clock the Fox
News Rundown pregame show here to Nebraska's Morning News wasn't there,
so we started the show early, which was a surprise
to Lucy and Jim when everyone came wandering by the studio,
go what am I late? What time is it after six?
Is it old days? Are we starting before? So? We
(38:44):
had some satellite technical issues and someone told me yesterday
I had two experts tell me yesterday. One said I
don't think the first hour Glenn Beck's going to be
there at six. I said, all right, we can cover it.
And then another person said, I don't think any of
the three hours of Glenn Beck are going to be
(39:04):
there from six to nine, So what about everything else? Yeah?
Probably like great will. So I was near the computer
because I can play DJ from my computer at home
and some people are like, well, why don't you just
do the whole show. I can't go live from my
computer at home, nor do I really have the capacity
(39:24):
to start cutting up segments of that morning's radio show
or anything. But I can put music in there, and
I do have some pre recorded stuff I can also
throw in that says yep, we're playing music because the
technical difficulties. We take requests. Send me an email Scott
at kfab dot com. I got the greatest email from
Akuay last night. They said, can you play that Maxine
(39:48):
Nightingale song from a slapshot? He's like, I haven't requested
a song on the radio since I was ten, that
was forty years ago. Can you play my song?
Speaker 4 (39:56):
Like you bet?
Speaker 5 (39:57):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (39:57):
And played his song? He's like, that was awesome thing.
So I really was taking requests last night and ended
up being two hours, and then Glenn was back and
I couldn't get to one and it was from a
listener named Connie. Connie sent me an email and she said,
(40:19):
this is the last Saint Patrick's day in the service
industry for me. After twenty five years. I don't think
I'll ever like Saint Patrick's day. I quit so she
left her job in the service industry. I'm guessing restaurant bar.
And we just take a moment to appreciate all the
(40:42):
connies out there who so many of us take for granted.
We look past, we dehumanize, we belittle.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
We go.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
You call this a rum and coke. You know, we
treat them like garbage and they don't have to put
up with it. Connie last night decided she was done.
She says, will you play a song for me?
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Take this job and chovy I ain't work.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
I appreciate her standing up for herself. I don't know.
Maybe in the light of day to day she might
change her mind and go back to work in some way.
But let's just all take a moment to appreciate all
the connies out there before they tell us get your
own drink.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
This job and shoving I ain't working.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Treat people better, especially those in the service industry. They're
bringing you all the stuff. This is Nebraska's morning news
news radio eleven to ten KFAB. We got Craig Evans
as well. Jim Rose is out for a few days
here he's back on Monday. Update. For those of you
who missed it earlier in the program. Yes, the fires
(41:53):
in the Sandhills did increase in acreage, but that was
expected emergency management by virtue of just the fact that
there's sprawling land and it's not called the sand Hills
for nothing. It is hills. And so if you just
go out there in the Sandhills with your various fire
(42:14):
trucks and water tanks and all the rest of it,
it's not easy to start driving through that land. You
have to set up perimeters on roads, the country roads,
the few and far between country roads. So they said
we're going to go from seven hundred thousand some acres
in these fires to over eight hundred thousand, which is
(42:34):
where we are this morning. But with the wind calming
down and the fact that they said it's going to
burn a little bit more. Yes, it's only eighteen percent
containment still with that moral fire, but they've got favorable conditions.
Wish we had some rain, but favorable wind conditions, and
they do have perimeters set up there to try and
(42:55):
now try and contain that from getting too much further.
But that's the latest there. And then a couple of
those other smaller fires which are still really big up
around Valentine or near kozad higher percentage containment on those
The ranchers out there saying, we don't have any feed
and we're gonna have to rebuild a lot of fences,
(43:17):
which is a lot more expensive than we city people realized.
Like a fence, I mean like a six foot privacy fence.
It's just a fence post and barbed wire. Yes, over
miles and miles and miles. It's pretty expensive. They said
it could be fifteen thousand dollars a mile for some
of these fences. So the Nebraska cattlemen are trying to
(43:39):
get resources together for feed and fences for our friends
in central and western Nebraska.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
Can ask a dumb question you may not know.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
I will, I promise I will give you a dumb answer.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
Is there anything we can do with Here's the dumb part.
Is there anything we can do with like not grassings,
but clearing brush around any other place that can all
be shipped out there? I mean, I don't know, can count.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
It's not a dumb It's not a dumb question because
anytime we have storm damage here, like take all your
branches down to the zoo and they feed them to
the ducks. You know. So no, it's not a dumb question.
I do not have an answer yet that Let's try
and get the Nebraska Cattleman president on here and we
(44:28):
can pepper him with lots of dumb questions. See what
more we can do to help, because right now I
can give money, but you know, if you're trying to
feed horses and cattle, they'll eat money. I don't know
if it's nutritious, probably not good for especially coins.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
Well, there don't have a lot of pennies.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
So right here in the Omaha metro area, here's the
kind of thing with which we are dealing. You have
a horror story. And the parents of this fifteen year
old boy who was inviting older men to his house
for Yeah, there needs to be a lot of a
(45:14):
lot of parenting, lot of stuff going on there. So
they found a couple of older men who are all
too happy to go to this West Omaha home, crawl
through his basement window and meet up with this teenage
boy who was not of age to consent to such activity.
These two older men have been have been caught. And
(45:34):
because they was a young male, and because there was
video evidence of what was happening, you've got a lot
of a lot of bad crimes, first degree assault. You've
got the visual depiction of said assault. You had two
(45:54):
guys in custody. Both went before a judge. Douglas County Judge,
District Judge Derek Vaughan got the first guy in there,
his name's Eric, and Eric on one of the charges
thirty to fifty years in prison, on the other one
twenty to thirty five years in prison. Now, this other
(46:16):
guy did exactly the same thing with exactly the same kid.
He was supposed to go before Judge Vaughan. But Judge Vaughan,
since he saw the first guy and before he's had
co defendant Bradley in court, suddenly got promoted. He's up
to the Nebraska Supreme Court. So the governor then appointed
replacement here on the district bench. And this judge is
(46:39):
Judge Rich McGowan. So Judge McGowan gets the other guy,
same charges on this one. He says, well, let's do
probation on one and up to three years on the
other one. Now the attorney for this guy on the
much lesser charges is skipping out of that courtroom. The
(47:02):
other judge is or the other defense attorneys saying whoa
wha whoa, my client wants to go before Judge McGowan
because this Judge Vaughan, he was very, very mean, and
everyone else is going bring judge, let Judge Vaughn do
all this stuff. Who's this guy, Judge McGowan, he was,
(47:24):
according to court transcripts, when the prosecutor said, wait, wait, wait,
the last guy here in the same courtroom with the
different judge got decades more for the same crime. And
he said, Judge Vaughn is not here or available to
make any decisions on this guy's sentencing. I am the law.
The governor has entrusted me to make this decision. So
(47:47):
you've got Judge dread there in the courtroom pulling and
I am the law. He actually said that, and others
like County Attorney here in Douglas County Don Klein, said,
we think this is out of bounds, and we will
be looking at the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals
to take this up.
Speaker 2 (48:08):
What do they think is out of bounds? The first
the second one, or the second one with virtually no
sentence at all.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
Yeah, slap on the ril, same crimes, different judges, And
this is why who ends up being in the robe
is an important thing, same crime, vastly different sentences. Hey
speaking up perversion, which is always the best way to start.
I mean, I went to broadcasting school, and if you
(48:36):
can start any segment with a speaking up perversion, first
thing in broadcasting school, you start every sentence with hey,
speaking of perversion. Florida lawmakers have hit a pause, not
a stop, but a pause.
Speaker 5 (48:50):
See.
Speaker 1 (48:51):
There was one lawmaker in Florida said I don't think
first cousins should be allowed to marry in Florida, and
other lawmakers are like, yeah, probably, but hold hold on.
He's like, there are lots of people to marry who
are not your first cousin. By the way, that was
an actual argument in Florida bate. This state representative, Dean Black,
(49:14):
says Florida should join the majority of states that don't
allow first cousin marriage. He says, quote, there are plenty
of people to marry who aren't your first cousin unquote,
and they were gonna ban it as of July. June
really is the best time to get married anyway. I mean,
you got the family there. You got the family, not
(49:35):
the families, You got the family.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
Everybody already knows each other, No it's a family reunion.
Speaker 1 (49:43):
And you're thinking, now, wait a second, you mean the
majority of states that don't allow first cousin marriage. How
many states do allow first cousin marriage? Lucy, you want
to take a shot.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
It's the majority that they do. I'm going to say there.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
Are eight double it sixteen state Oh sixteen, yeah, sixteen
states allow you to marry your first cousin. They are
in alphabetical order, Alabama, Alaska, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont,
(50:18):
and Virginia. There are some nuances in other states. For example,
in North Carolina, you can marry your cousin. I mean,
come on, provided that your cousin is not a double
first cousin. Do you know what that means?
Speaker 2 (50:32):
Oh my gosh, I can only imagine.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
That means that two brothers married two sisters who are
not their sisters. Then you have double first cousins.
Speaker 2 (50:45):
And you're thinking the siblings didn't get married any no, no, okay, right.
Speaker 1 (50:48):
And you're thinking, does that ever happen? Let me tell
you about my first grade class when they said, all right,
you're gonna do your family treat, and mine started looking
like shrubbery. And my teacher said, what's going on here?
And I said, well, the two brothers married sisters, And
she said, this explains a lot in my family. The
(51:10):
Vorhees brothers married the Hevron sisters, producing double first cousins.
Speaker 2 (51:21):
How are they double first cousins?
Speaker 1 (51:23):
That's just what they call it, all right, it's all
on the up and up. I assure you, and I
don't want to marry Kurt or Nick. They're fine fellows.
I love them so much. I do not want to
marry them.
Speaker 5 (51:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
Married. There are so many people out there to marry
who aren't your first cousin. Go to your second cousin.
Gas prizes are up, stock market is down, and most
Americans who have nothing to do with Iran, we don't
have military families ready to pounce. We put gas in
(51:57):
our cars. We look at our retire ironment accounts, and
we look at our own level of patients, which is,
I don't know about you, pretty much gone. It's been gone,
gone for years. There is no reserve. There's just impatience.
There's twenty four to seven lack of patients. So in
(52:18):
that state, we as Americans look at what's going on
here with Iran, and most people were done immediately and
others are getting doner as the it's an economic war
here at home. The short term pain expected pain for
(52:39):
a lot of people. It's like, oh, we got to
pay more for this. Certainly there are those the paycheck
to paycheck or that those in the TSA Department of
Homeland Security not getting paychecks right now. It's a lot
of scrambling for relief. The White House says, oh, the
gas prices, that's a temporary issue. It's a drop like
(53:00):
a rock once we're done over there, and people are like, well,
what what are we doing? And when are we done
over there? Yesterday an intelligence director a counter terrorism agency
left the Trump administration. What's that about. This guy's name
is Joe Kent and he was a counter terrorism official
(53:22):
within the Trump administration. And he said, I don't know
what we're doing in Iran. Retired Special Forces officer, six
Bronze Stars, eleven combat deployments. Guy knows what he's doing.
And he looks at Heran and said, I don't know
what we're doing here. Now, there'd be a lot of
(53:44):
people who say, I think we should have that voice
there in the room to lean on the military commanders
and the commander in chief to be able to provide
that perspective. Is there more going on with this guy? Yeah,
I think there is. It was January of two thousand nineteen.
We are in the Trump administration and we America not
(54:05):
a lot, but we had some Americans in Syria, and
this guy, Joe Kent, said we never should have been
in Syria. And for him it's personal. His wife was
one of those who was killed by a suicide bomber
January sixteenth, twenty nineteen, in Syria. His wife was a
(54:26):
Navy linguist who was killed by that suicide bombing in
January twenty nineteen. It was her first deployment since having children.
So yeah, he takes all this very personally. And you
can say, I don't think it's a good idea to
(54:47):
cave to Israeli pressure. That's what he said, to send
this next generation of wives, mothers off to fight and
die in a war that serves no benefit to the
American people. He's understandably close to the issue. He's stepped
(55:08):
away from his job. I wish him the best President Trump,
not so much. Guy's a lightweight. It's a good thing
he's gone very weak in security and all the rest
of that stuff. I don't mind having a voice close
to the Trump administration to say, let's make sure we
know what we're doing and we're going about it the
right way here. And I would say that from our
(55:32):
perspective if we're just looking at it right now, going
stock markets down, gas prices are up, and we got
uncertainty here and there, and I just I don't know.
I thought we took out their nuclear capabilities last year
with the big mother of all bunker busting bombs, and
why do we have to do this? From our perspective,
(55:53):
where we don't work for the Pentagon, we don't work
in the Trump administration, it is very easy for those
of us out here to look at this and go
I don't want to pay more for gas. I don't
want the stock market to go down. I liked when
it was up. I liked when the Dow was over
fifty thousand points, and I thought we were continuing to
move forward. You're not wrong in thinking that you either
(56:19):
have some reliance that the people in charge making these
decisions have our best interests at heart. When the President
says Iran was getting too close to getting a nuclear weapon,
and if they would have gotten it, they would have
used it within twenty four hours. They would have used
it against Israel, they would have used it against the
(56:41):
United States, they would have used it against Europe. And
so we were in a position to do something about it.
We did something about it. Everyone's very happy we did
something about it. They just don't want to pay for
it and deal with the short term effects of higher
gas prices. And how are we going to get these
oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz? And who's going
to help? So you either hear the president say that,
(57:04):
who says Iran was going to start World War three
and it was going to be nuclear and we stopped them.
And yeah, there'll be some short term pain with the stocks,
with the gas prizes, it's going to be short term.
Don't worry. It won't last long. Two weeks to flatten
the curve and then it'll all be fine. You either
(57:24):
hear him say that and believe him, or you hear
him say that and go, this seems like the wrong move.
Either way, we're in it. We've got to get out
of this quickly. But we've got to get out of
it the right way. So when I look at the
House and the Senate, they can't even get the government
(57:46):
and we're still in a partial government shutdown. These guys
can't even issue paychecks to TSA workers. In the Congress,
they decided to subpoena Attorney General Pam BONDI why Epstein?
And people are like, why won't the president go to
Congress and get further declaration for what he's doing in Iran?
(58:08):
There are some people saying, I think Congress should be
permanently shut down and disbanded. You either hear the president
say these things and you believe him or you don't.
But we're doing it. I hope. And I say this
about all administrations, whether it's the Trump administration getting us
(58:31):
into Iran, whether it was the Stothard administration getting us
into a street car. You look at these people in
charge and go, I hope they know what they're doing. Guz,
this is what we're doing. Scott at kfab dot com
weigh in, give me your thoughts here, what's your level
of patience with all of this? And the Zonker's custom
was inbox Scott at kfab dot com. Still battling the
(58:54):
wildfires in the Panhandle and in the Sandhills, thankfully, just
like the wind is dying down here on the east
the eastern seaboard of Nebraska. The wind is dying down
in the Panhandle as well. But no rain in the
forecast for the sand Hills. So good on the wind,
bad on the precipitation. On the director of the National
(59:17):
counter Terrorism Center resigning, saying, I don't know why we're
in Iran. That's Joe Kent leaving the Trump administration. President
Trump says, good riddons, get out of here. Emails here
as I just requested in the Zonker's custom was inbox
Scott atkfab dot com. The Geezer says that same man
who resigned praise to President Trump previously, So I wonder
(59:40):
what made him? Man made him mad? Well Iran, I guess.
Mike says that guy Kent also sent a tweet in
twenty twenty talking about pre emptive strikes on Iran to
rid them of their military capabilities. So what does he
really believe? And Reeves says, I support big d I
(01:00:04):
believe that would be the President Donald Trump, and I
believe we need to take out a run, but I
think we need to get the Straight open and get out.
The only thing I don't understand is why is oil
going up. I thought we were self sufficient and oil.
I'm a little confused on that. Yeah, twenty percent of
the nation's oil goes through that strait you mentioned. They're reed,
(01:00:24):
the strait of horror mooze. But oil is a fungible commodity,
I meaning the more throughout the world or the less
throughout the world, or concerns about the stability of it
getting it out of the Straight two refineries to China,
for example, if there's pressures there, it makes the cost
(01:00:45):
of all of it go up. We're not going to
run out, but it is gonna be more expensive. And
as far as the sacrifice of paying more for gas,
John hits the nail on the head and said people
should look back at history and see what sacrifices were
made during World War War two. John, thank you for
that email.
