Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott for what up girl?

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Thank you very much for being with us here on
Nebraska's news, weather and Traffic station. I'm Scott Vorhees. Lucy
Chapman is right there, and we are here. We are
here with you, we are here for you, We're here
because of you, for some of you were here in
spite of you. But thank you for listening anyway, and
here we go together on Nebraska's news, weather and traffic station,

(00:25):
News Radio eleven ten KFAB. The first thing we have
to address here is the urge. Gary Sadlemayer just left
the studio and said that this computer in here was
acting sluggish quote for some reason. It could be. That
reason is it's running Windows point five and he had
eighty seven tabs open. It could but one of those

(00:47):
tabs now is I'm closing everything out? Is Gary Sadlemeyer's
Facebook page, which is now logged into and open. Time
to have some fun now into ideas. So while we
deal with that, how about this President Trump says, Hey,

(01:11):
maybe in order to bring beef prices down in America,
maybe we bring in some beef from Argentina. Knee jerk reaction,
No knee jerk reaction from Lucy is no. Have you
ever had Argentinian beef?

Speaker 3 (01:26):
I'm sure we all have.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, but see here's we may not have known it.
I know the jingoist in me, which is different than
the djangoist in me, that would be more Quentin Tarantino leaning.
But the jingoist to me, the jingleism the America first,
make America great again. The jingoist in me says, beef
from Argentina? What is that? Some sort of South American

(01:51):
raccoon meat. I don't want that garbage. Now, let's go
get some food at the Brazilian steakhouse. That stuff is amazing.
What if? What if the bee from Argentina is really good?
What if you do the Pepsi challenge on beef from
Argentina and BF from Nebraska and can't tell the difference. Now,

(02:11):
everyone calmed down. Nebraska beaver did be I know? I know.
If I'm at the supermarket, which is so much better
than a regular market, it's the one wearing a cape.
If I'm at the supermarket and it's got a big ass,
who got a big what?

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
An s? Sorry, misunderstood thought you were calling me fat.
If I'm at the supermarket and I see a couple
of nice sirloin steaks in front of me, and one
of them costs a couple bucks more, and it says
pure Nebraska beef, and the other one looks the same,

(02:56):
a couple of dollars cheaper, and it says this is
from I don't know, Argentina or whatever. I'm gonna spend
a couple more bucks and get the Nebraska beef. I mean,
I mean, in our head, in our head, we're assuming
this beef from Argentina isn't from cattle, It's it's from

(03:18):
some sort of weird Argentinian rabbit. You ever been in
another country and you're like, what is that? And they're like, well,
that that's our that's a rabbit, Like hell it is,
and then look like a rabbit where I come from.
They're weird animals in other parts of the world, some
sort of Argentinian dingo meat. I don't know if they're
ding I don't know, some sort of wombat. I don't,

(03:41):
I don't. I don't have any idea. I mean, we're
just assuming, like the beef from Argentina just a bunch
of cows wearing like berets in some sort of like
South American drug cartel, and they're like, hey, we're gonna
we got We got the ladies over here making milk,

(04:02):
making milk. Guys are over here loading up drugs into
a boat, try and get past President Trump's bombs, and
we're all smoking and doing hash. You know, we just
assume that the Argentinian beef is just subpar, awful and
probably some sort of gray color. Then if that's the case,

(04:25):
then what do you care if they bring it up here?
I know you're like, I'm not gonna eat that. Hey, here,
here's the breaking news. You don't have to eat it.
You don't have to eat.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
What are you talking about? You don't have to eat it.
If he's talking about bringing Argentine and beef up here,
corporations are going to buy it. Corporations are going to
see a huge drop in price, and they're going to
buy it. And then you know what happens. Then the
price of Nebraska beef actually goes up even more because
now people who are pureists and that's what they want.

(05:03):
Now there's more demands than there is supply on Nebraska beef,
and that goes up even more.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Or the capitalism we enjoy in this country, in the
free market capitalism we have here says all right, all
the costs need to come down to be more competitive. Okay,
that could happen too. And as far as I'm not
going to eat any meat from any place other than
in America's heartland. Now, let's go to the Kobe Steakhouse.

(05:33):
That stuff's amazing, Like that's Japanese. The Brazilians take. I
don't know if the meat things you can't afford the
I can't afford any of this stuff. But I mean
it could be that maybe if you introduce a different
product into an open market, which we have in this country,

(05:55):
maybe the other costs need to come down. Now America's
and specifically is whether it's the Farm Bureau or the
Nebraska cattlemen, they all say, look, it's not that we're
not trying to jack up cost just to jack up costs,
but there are a couple of things at play here
with why things cost more. One of those is is
US beef cattle inventory is at multi decade lows. Even

(06:19):
the cows and the cattle aren't having babies.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Isn't that isn't one of those reasons. Because you have
ranches that are failing, you have dairy farms that are failing.
Dairy farms that have been in business for hundreds of
years or at least one hundred years or one hundred
and fifty years, whatever, are failing because they can't compete
with melt prices.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Hey, newsflash, John Cougar Mellencamp, it's hard to be a
farmer in this country, so agreed. So the cattle inventory
is low and demand is high. When you have that,
the cost goes up. So like no one's like, hey,
let's the American people can afford to pay a little
bit more, you know, as President Obama might say about healthcare,

(07:02):
Which is another side note to this whole story, because
it's amazing under four years of President Biden, when things
were costing twenty to forty percent more, the media didn't
seem to recognize that or let us know that. Amazingly
in news stories, nothing costs more under President Biden. But

(07:24):
the American media has just found out there are a
few things in this country that cost a few more dollars.
And boy are they going to tell you. They're not
going to tell you that gas is a lot cheaper,
but they're going to tell you that beef prices are
higher and that healthcare costs our skyrocketing. Now they're going
to tell you that. By the way, this is why
the shutdown is happening in Washington because Democrats want to

(07:46):
continue to take your tax dollars and subsidize Obamacare, which
the Congressional Budget Office says, if Democrats get their way
and the shutdown ends on their terms, this is going
to cost to American taxpayers three hundred and fifty billion
dollars over the next decade. So in the media, some

(08:08):
of the media is just now telling now, they're not
telling you that's that's a Fox News talking point there,
but from the CBO, which is officially nonpartisan. But the
media will certainly tell you that healthcare costs are going up,
that cattle or the beef prices are going up. It's amazing.
According to the media, nothing costs more under President Biden.

(08:32):
But I used a term there a moment ago that
I want to come back to on the Nebraska or
American beef front. Is this what we want? I'll tell
you in two minutes.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Scott for Yes News Radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
I knew i'd hear from the cattleman across the area
this morning. Keep them coming to Scott atkfab dot com
and the Zonkers custom woods inbox. That's how you can
reach the pro here Scott atkfab dot com. I'm Scott
Vorhees here with Lucy Chapman on news radio eleven to
ten KFAB. President Trump says beef costs in this country

(09:10):
are too high. Maybe we can flood the market with
some beef from Argentina. Immediately people are like gross. They
don't have any idea what it is, how it tastes.
They don't.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
It's not about the taste.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
It's not even about the quality. Okay, So now this
gets me to a word I used a moment ago.
How else do we have beef costs come down? If
we're talking about all right, homegrown Nebraska, Iowa, Texas cattle,
how do we get those costs to come down? There
are two ways. Either the market decides and people are like,

(09:47):
all right, beef prices are too high. I like pork,
I like chicken, and they have a few other things there.
I If I go to the store and I'm like,
I've got my house, my mouth all set for some steak,
and I see the prices, I'm like uh, and I say,
all right, pork chops, big juicy pork chops. Here's eighty

(10:09):
pork chops for a dollar. I'm like, maybe I'll have
pork chops. I mean, if we have to make that decision.
I don't think pork chops are as good as a steak,
but if the prices are such that I make a
judgment call there on my buying decisions. That's one way.
If we reduce our eating a beef, the costs would

(10:30):
have to come down to be more competitive, because that's
what this marketplace dictates. This is capitalism at work, or
we don't do capitalism at work, and we use that term.
A moment ago where we were talking about the Obamacare
subsidies that Democrats want, and this is why the government

(10:51):
is shut down. They want taxpayers to subsidize Obamacare, that
health care plan. They said, oh no, this isn't going
to cost anyone anymore. Our health care costs or skyrocketing
and our taxes are going up. A lot of it
has to do nearly all of it has to do
with Obamacare costing so much money. Subsidies. This is where
the government picks winners and losers and decides to prop

(11:15):
up some people and either as some things have happened
in this country. Pay agg producers not to produce, Hey,
we got too much. I don't know, wheat, soybeans, corn, whatever.
Tell you what. Let's try and keep the market equilibrium
where it is here the government will subsidize you not

(11:37):
to grow things. Or in this case, beef costs are
too high. The government, which is, as you know, taxpayer dollars.
Charles Schumer, Oldchuck is not doing a bikini car wash
in Washington to raise money. Though, think of the possibilities.

(12:00):
I'll pause. What you throw up, great, So that's taxpayer
dollars that would subsidize the egg producers, the cattlemen, and say,
all right, if we give you this much money, can
you lower your costs by this percentage? Now, some of
this I don't like subsidies. I know that we do

(12:25):
them in ag I know we do them, and oil
and gas. I know that the Obama and Biden administrations
were chucking that stuff around when it came to energy,
solar panels and all the rest of this stuff. We
subsidize so much. Here we subsidize housing costs. I mean,
people are like, I don't want communism. I don't know

(12:46):
if you've looked at the American budget, it's pretty darn communistic.
But I don't like subsidies. I don't want taxpayers to
artificially start trying to bring down the cost of American beef. Period.

(13:08):
Some of these things that cause beef costs to go up, though,
are starting to move the other way. Inflation is cooling,
gas prices are coming down. But how much of this
has to do with which I think was part of
Lucy's point earlier, how much of this has to do with,
you know, being that mom and pop rancher is almost

(13:33):
a complete thing of the past. And you've got these
big companies, not all of them rooted in America or
American values. You've got these big companies, corporations that have
gone in there and they've screwed up food in this country.
So when they're saying, like, hey, cattle inventory is at

(13:54):
multi decade lows, well there's a reason for that. These
guys can count right. Let's see here, I have this
many had of cattle, and I figure demand is going
to be this so maybe I'll just put a few
more dollars in my pocket. Let prices go up. And
it's not like the American people are going to stop

(14:16):
eating beef these I don't know. And the last time
you went to Walmart was but there's a lot of
beef eating people here in this country. God bless them. Well,
just pull back a little bit now, Hey, before you
get mad at me for saying that, I don't fully
blame any company for looking at the horizon. I mean

(14:41):
this is before you can't dependent. I mean, whatever you
can do in a petri dish is up to you.
But you can't just make beef cattle overnight. It's a process.
Ask your parents, how are cows made, How is cattle?
How are steers mate? So that takes some time, which

(15:04):
means that the inventory lows we see today are because
of decisions made early this year and last year. What
was going on last year presidential election, the tipping point
for Congress, What was going to happen, What should happen
should this candidate win? Well, the media will tell you
if that candidate wins, Katie bar the door, the economy

(15:25):
is going to a tank and no one's going to
have jobs, and it's just going to be awful. And
depending on which candidate and which media you were listening to,
you were getting a steady stream of that, no matter
what happened with the election. So all these corporations, if
you're making beef, if you're making widgets, you got to

(15:46):
look at that and go, hmm. If things start to
go real south, I don't want to lose the whole company.
We need to start keeping it a little closer to
the vest right now, Maybe we pull back on some
research and development. Some production automakers do it, cattlemen do
it when they're not sure of the economic forecast and

(16:09):
the projector. And then Trump gets elected and like, Okay,
this could be good, and what does President Trump do?
He acts like the Oprah Winfrey of handing out tariffs,
which caused everyone's sphincters to collectively pucker. And people didn't
quite know what to make about that, and so people
were pulling back a little bit more like look, I
think I know what. But and then here's the other

(16:32):
dirty little secret. In a lot of these ranches and
agg production places across the country, there's something else that's
been happening for the last several months. I don't know
if you've noticed, but Immigration and Customs enforcement have been
pulling out criminal illegal aliens like weeds in your mom's garden.

(16:53):
Some of these guys work in ag production. Ahem. Why
else might inventory be a little low? We don't have
the staff. Suddenly, Hey, a lot of workers suddenly stop
showing up to work. I don't know if they're hiding
or in Uganda or what happened. When you have all

(17:16):
of these things, there's going to be a fluctuation. We
are in the midst of a fluctuation right now. Will
it level out? Yeah, once people start to figure out
what they can do with workforce that's legally able to
work in this country. Gas prices come down. That's going
to lower the cost of everything, and the tariff things

(17:37):
starts to iron out. President Trump, because it's a day
that ends and why says gonna meet with China. Think
we can figure it out some good trade. He says
that every day. At some point, maybe it comes true.
I don't know. I don't blame him for trying. It's
a tough nut to crack. But when you have all
these different things going on, Yeah, some things cost a
little bit more. And if you say, but I don't

(17:59):
want our Argentinian beef to come up here, maybe it's delicious.
I don't know what concerns you about competing. I don't
mind if suddenly if it's Argentinian beef or if it's
some sort of muskrat from Norway. I mean, if people
want to buy that stuff and they're like, this stuff's cheaper.

(18:21):
It looks kind of gray, but I can afford it.
Let's see how it tastes. If that stuff's hot garbage,
people aren't going to eat it. They'll come back to
American made beef or American made beef is going to
have to lower their cost to compete. That's how this works.
And I understand everyone's saying, but President Trump, I don't

(18:41):
know what. Yeah, I was a little caught off guard
by this too. Nebraska Farm Bureau and Nebraska cattlemen they say,
we're not sure what this is about. Statements from Ricketts
and Fisher and Governor Pillen are saying, what is he doing? Well,
what's the flip side government subsidies to artificially bring down costs.

(19:01):
We can't do that. We shouldn't do that. So expand
cattle numbers. Take advantage of the market principles that are
lowering costs right now thanks to the actions of this president.
And let's see where we are here in a few months.
In the meantime, beef might cost thirty percent more. I'll

(19:23):
still eat beef. I will spend the money because it's delicious,
but I might mix in a bit more pork and
chicken and fish. There did I cover all my bases
on this one. As I said, AGG producers have been
emailing me. I'll tell you what they're saying about it.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Next, Scott boorhesre, you're going news radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Omaha City boy born and raised Scott borhees here with
Omaha City girl born and raised Lucy Chapman. We eat
that which you guys, Egg Country produced. I wouldn't know
the first thing, and I wouldn't dare to assume that
I know the first thing about AGG production. But I'm

(20:11):
really entertained by these emails. To bring you up to speed,
President Trump said yesterday, Hey, mister President, we got a problem. Hey,
maybe we do this now. I should probably also point
this out. I don't know if you've noticed, but sometimes
when the President says something, he doesn't actually intend to
follow through on that thing. This has been his style,

(20:36):
going back to being a real estate mogul in the eighties.
It's it's it's it's all in negotiation to him. When
someone says, mister President, what about this, he says, yeah,
you know what, I think that what we need is

(20:56):
either we're going to do this, or someone else is
gonna do this, or we're gonna make Max Co pay
for it. And the sun and the moon and the stars,
and people are like, why he can't the executive branch.
How in the world if he even could, you know,
and everyone starts freaking out, not realizing he doesn't want.
I mean, he'd probably take whatever it was he just
threw out. But he also knows that in a negotiation,

(21:19):
not everyone gets everything they want all the time, which
he understands. He's been very good on making negotiations workout
in his favor in a lot of different ways, including
with the American people. Two out of three elections ain't bad.
So when he says, maybe we do this with it
be maybe that's what he wants. Maybe what he really

(21:41):
wants is to spark up this conversation and for people
to really start figuring out how beef costs got this
high and what needs to happen without artificial subsidies or
flooding the market with beef from Argentina or whatever. How
we can lower these I'm glad to see that a

(22:05):
lot of these AGG producers are saying I don't think
we need subsidies. Luke emails Scott at kfab dot com
and says, I hate all government subsidies with a passion.
The government was handing out money during COVID that I
could have taken from my business. But I was just
as busy as I've ever been. And they gave out

(22:26):
money for cattle prices being down during COVID because packing
houses didn't have employees showing up. I didn't take the money.
Then they have drought assistants. I don't take that money.
I want to pay less taxes. And if I'm sitting
there accepting government subsidies, I can't say I deserve that. Now.
Luke is one of these AGG producers and he says,

(22:50):
Nebraska beef, this is a little education, Lucy, this might
go way over our city people heads all right.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Try me.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Nebraska beef is generally cattle born and raised on grass
while they are on the cow for the first nine months,
and then put in a feed lot where it's more
of a grain based diet. To finish them out the
next six to nine months to slaughter the grain gives
the marbling and tenderness. Should I stop and be like, look,
you're telling me how the sausage is made. Can't I
just enjoy the sausage? So to speak? Inside, I know

(23:25):
sausage is not beef but just a term. But yeah,
right now, all the city people are like, I don't
want to know all this stuff. I just want to
eat it. So here's what his point is. Grass fed
beef all the way through sounds great in theory until
you realize it's like chewing on a piece of dehydrated

(23:47):
beef jerky, and that's what you're getting from Argentina.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
I've had grass fed beef and it's terrible.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Really, Yeah, I don't know what I've had. All I
eat is veal because I hate baby cows. Caddle.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
You probably have leg a.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Lamb's just trying to figure out what's the worst thing
I can say throughout the morning. Where do you hear
my thoughts on the louver later?

Speaker 3 (24:17):
Baby cows and baby sheep?

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Yeah, I just three meals a day. All my family
eats is veal because we hate baby cattle. The stupid
dumb look on their face, harsh seeing if you're paying attention.
Argentinian beef is dehydrated beef jerky? Is that why the

(24:39):
slogan for Argentinian beef is beef from Argentina snap into
a slim gym.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
It's not quite that bad.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
President Randy Macho Man Savage says, the beef from Argentina
is oh yeah, which might be cool, aid Man, I
don't know, Luke says. For seven years, I I had
to truck my cattle four hundred and sixty miles one
way to western Nebraska just for summer pasture until I
had the opportunities finally open open up closer to home.

(25:10):
I have a hobby farm one hundred and twenty cows.
Still have to drive two hundred miles on a Sunday
to check my cows on pasture because one group see
the blah blah blah blahah. So much pasture has been
developed for farm ground because you can make more dollars
per acre raising corn or soybeans, and with land values
and property taxes, this is also a familiar refrain that

(25:32):
comes up in these emails. Property taxes, you can't compete
with row crop farming. Just for grass or pasture to
run a cow slash calf operation. So now we've got
property taxes here in Nebraska being another major reason why
these costs are up. Yeah, I absolutely believe you, Luke.

(25:57):
I really appreciate that. Email Scott atkfab dot com. Dave
listening to us in ord says love listening to your
program every morning. Thank you, Dave. One of the key
contributors to high prices is the big increase in wages.
Employers have to make that money somewhere, therefore higher prices. Yes,

(26:20):
this is a familiar refrain on this program. Once people,
including here in Nebraska, said I don't see any problem
with giving those on a minimum wage a little bit more.
Let's start stare stepping them towards fifteen dollars an hour,
and moron's like myself said, you know, when you increase

(26:41):
the cost of paying minimum wage employees who are not
usually those who are trying to feed a family of four,
a lot of teenagers, retired people, also a lot of
people who if they show up, they do a good job,
they're wearing pants most of the time, they're probably not
going to stay on minimum wage, and then they automatically

(27:04):
advance and then there's more money for them. That's how
this whole thing used to work, and now it's just
like I give them off fifteen dollars an hour. Well,
then when some of these hourly wage employees were making
as much or more than their supervisors, the supervisors said,
wait a second, I was making fourteen fifty and now

(27:24):
a right, we'll give you a raise too. Everyone's wages
came up. It's certainly not lost on me that a
lot of labor unions really wanted to see that minimum
wage increase because the cost of what they make is
tied into the minimum wage. They're like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
raise the minimum wage. Yeah, pro worker, pro worker, labor

(27:45):
unions getting more money. And then the businesses who were
brave enough to speak up, said, you know, if you
raise our costs on what we pay our employees, the
wages go up, our property taxes go up. The cost
of gas this is over the last couple of years,
has gone up. Uh, when we ignore healthcare costs for

(28:07):
these employees, if we offer these benefits, those are going
way way up. It's going to be difficult to do
this at the prices you previously enjoyed and the American
people said, oh, well, if you raise your prices, you're
one of these fat cat billionaires that don't want them
to pay your employees. And you're not gonna, you know,

(28:28):
have a cutout of your profits. And people are screaming,
and the company said, okay, let's let's have it your way.
And then the cost of everything went up, from the
cost of beef at the at the meat counter at
your grocery store to the cost of happy meals at
the fast food line, and everything went up. And people
are like, how the hell did that happen? The people

(28:51):
had the audacity to act surprised when we told companies,
your costs are going up, and then they raised prices.
We did that, and now we're crying about it. Well,
I didn't know that the what do you think was
going to happen? And as I pointed out earlier in

(29:15):
this hour, if maybe you've noticed that ice has been
taking some of the producers out of some of the
fields and packing houses and the rest of this, and
so yeah, the workforce has been a little strained, shall
we say, on the bright side, if maybe the president's
going to have one of these detention facilities in Argentina

(29:39):
and they can start making the beef and processing it
down there, and then it comes back to us and
it's like it never left. I'm trying to look on
the bright side. So here's all of how we got
to this point. How do you think we should get out?
You know, our Ventina is allowed to have beef here

(30:04):
in America and there are some some Senator I think
Rounds was saying we need to and Governor pill And
I believe is pushed for this as well. Is the
truth in labeling to put on the label when you
go to get your meat, especially where that meat was produced.
Is it made in America? It's produced in America or

(30:26):
did it come from Saskatchewan or Argentina or wherever? Mongolian beef.
So that's another one. People are like, I only want
American beef. Now, let's go down to the Mongolian barbecue
and eat that stuff. It's amazing. We're probably eating a
lot more foreign beef, and some of that beef is

(30:48):
race here in America, is just produced in a more
foreign style. I get that, but we probably wouldn't if
we did the Pepsi challenge on Argentinian beef versus Nebraska beef.
I bet most of us wouldn't tell the difference. And
before you say that's an outrage, remember I'm talking about

(31:09):
the same people who raise the costs of everything, either
through their vote or through their actions. They caused everything
to go up and then had the audacity to act
surprise when prices went up. You know, morons. Keep your
emails coming, though. Scott at kfab dot com scot by

(31:31):
Lucy is still saying no on beef from Argentina. Well, Lucy,
you don't have to eat it.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
And I'm sure that at some point I will, But
it's not about where the beef is coming from. You
flood the US market with beef that's not produced here,
and you're going to drive the prices up and people
out of business. You're going to drive ranchers out of business.
This is some of your emails have already said.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Here are some more of these emails. Tom says, yeah,
us label the origin of the beef. That's something Governor
Pillen's been pushing for. Brent says, great show, Scott, Thanks Brent.
I'm a lifelong beef producer forty seven years. My question
is should beef prices come down? People pay six dollars

(32:19):
a pound for sugar cereal, but complain about six dollars
a pound of ground beef. We don't want subsidies. We
want to market, and now that we finally have one
we're making money on people want it to go away.
You know. That's another thing these guys, it's these cattle producers.

(32:41):
They're not doing this out of the goodness of their
own heart. I'm sure that especially with these long time
family on operations if you can still find one once
in a while, like Brent. Yeah, they these guys are
so proud to be in the position they are as
farmers and ranchers in this area. They're proud to be
able to do this. But they're not running charities. It's

(33:02):
not a nonprofit organization. You know. Everyone's like, yeah, when
Willie Nelson and John Cougar, Mellencamp, Neil Young say we
gotta do farm made and help out these farmer Yeah, well,
the farmers don't need the government subsidies. Now they're they're
making some money. The market conditions are such that they

(33:23):
got a little money coming in. They also know this
is probably not gonna last forever. This is kind of
the Ebbs and flows of this business, and people are like,
how dare they make money? As they go to the
supermarket and they buy up all the ground beef that
they can. We don't complain about how come these cocoa
puffs are six dollars a pound. That stupid bird he's

(33:47):
trying to obviously pat his crack habit. I don't know
why he's so cuckoo for cocoa puffs. It's probably dudes
on meth or whatever. Did I just suggest that a
beloved serial mascot may have some sort of drug habit.
I don't think I did that. I'm going to back
away from that. Alex says, when I moved from Iowa

(34:10):
to Denver, I experienced my first grass fed steak from
a Colorado supermarket. After that, I'd pack a cooler every
time I came back to Iowa and filled it with
Iowa steaks. Colorado grass fed beef is as bad as
their football team. That's from Alex and Chris says. When
I heard President Trump talking about the beef situation, it

(34:32):
was my understanding he was trying to help a capitalist
country in South America from going back to communism like
the rest of South America. So I think it's about
more than just lowering prices. Yeah, it usually is with
President Trumps. He's got a lot going on here. We'll
see what happens with this. All the Nebraska politicians and

(34:53):
special interest groups are opposed to this one. Just a
few more emails to wrap up our conversation from the
past hour here on news radio eleven ten KFAB. We're
talking about the President floating the idea yesterday of beef
prices are too high in this country. Let's bring in
some cheap beef from out of the country. And he
specifically said Argentina and Jingoists like me immediately said, Argentina

(35:17):
and beef. That sounds terrible. That's got to be the worst.
Stuff is probably all gray and purple, gross taste like
wombat meat. I don't know. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.
I don't have any idea, but I want Nebraska beef.
I want Iowa beef, more Nebraska. Sorry, I'm born and

(35:41):
raised in Omaha, but you know, I want stuff here
from the heartland. But as we discussed in the last hour,
there are a number of things that have led to
the increased cost of beef. And I don't know that
you can point at greed as being among them. Thing
from previous inflation under COVID, the skyrocketing costs of gas,

(36:05):
the marketers or the marketers, the agg producers, cattlemen pulling
back on their inventory. I headed the election, and then
after Trump was elected, tariff scares wondering what was going
to happen with the economy. And when you have these concerns,
you tend to pull back a little bit on production.
Everyone does it in every industry. The cattlemen are no different.

(36:28):
A lot of their labor force has been plucked out
of the country by ice, not sure if you heard
about that. And that's from field to production house, and
you have all these things. And then for those who
are still working here, we in Nebraska and other places
have jacked up the cost of their wages. Then we
had the audacity to act surprise when prices went up.

(36:49):
So for all these reasons, Yeah, the cost of American
made beef has gone up a bit? Is it cost prohibitive?
Doesn't sound like it, because even though American cattle inventory
is that several multi decade lows, the demand is way up.

(37:11):
We won our beef. The question was where's the beef
America's answer was in my belly. So more emails on
all this, Hurley says. Scott emailed via the Zonker's custom
was inbox Scott at kfab dot com. Scott yesterday's live

(37:31):
beef price was two forty a pound. If you don't
like paying twenty five dollars a pound for your RIBBI,
don't blame the producer. That's all the production costs along
the chain. That's from Hurley. Matt says. It's to the

(37:52):
point where in the past I would specifically look for
US made products to anything with the labor pools these
daily these days, a lot of US made products are
about as bad as foreign made things. I think for
the most part, our agg producers are superior to all
others in the world, but so much of our products

(38:12):
anymore are throwaway. Yeah. I I don't know if that's true,
if American made this or Japanese made that or whatever,
but you're right, it's there's a familiar refrain where people
say they just don't make them like they used to,
whether it's a washer and dryer or refrigerator, a part

(38:37):
for a car. Radio hosts, I mean, the new stuff
just isn't as good as that is the old stuff.
So you you end up spending more money because you're
you're replacing these products, especially some of these mechanics and
the computers and the phones and so forth. You replace
them every three to five years. How many of you

(39:00):
you have parents or in laws who have a refrigerator
in their basement that has been there since the Truman
administration and it still works great. You ever had to
do anything to that? Not a thing. I brought it home,
I plugged it in, I put some beer in it,
and that's it. You haven't had to add any free

(39:22):
on or a pair of a tube or a condenser
or anything.

Speaker 4 (39:26):
No.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
Nothing. Now, how would you like some toast from this
toaster I've had since the Wilson administration. No one's going
to be able to say that. No one sixty to
eighty years from now is going to say, oh, you're
gonna love this. I've been using this washing machine. This
was a hand me down from my grandparents. They got

(39:49):
it during the second of three Trump administrations. Just seeing
if you're paying attention. So I don't know, I didn't
really relate so much to the beef, but it does
then taint if everything we get here is not as
good as the quality we come to expect growing up.

(40:13):
You see that made in the USA label, You're not
automatically going to assume that must be better no matter
what it is. You're probably going to assume that probably
costs more money, inflated by labor costs, union labor costs,
and it's probably not as good equality as some of

(40:34):
the other stuff. I mean, people feel that way, right
or wrong. You can't ignore the way some people feel.
Look at some automobiles. Even though a lot of American
automobile manufacturers are they produce quality cars for little or
no maintenance up to one hundred thousand miles or more,

(40:55):
but people still have it in their heads that well
that some of these Japanese cars can probably run for
two to three hundred miles and all I gotta do
is occasionally change the oil and put gas in it. Yeah, sometimes,
but not every I mean, but this is the idea
that some people have. It's kind of a side conversation.

(41:15):
Appreciate that email Matt, good conversation, Glad to have it.
Scott at kfab dot com. And then Dave says, and
now see Dave is taking matters in his own hands
when people are like, well, the cost of this is
too much. I'm gonna grow my own tomatoes. The cost
of salsa is through the roof. I'm gonna grow my
own tomatoes. I don't know what cilantro is, but I'll

(41:38):
find some cost of salsa. So Dave's looking at the
cost of beef, and he says, I'm tired of the
high cost of beef. I went out this morning and
planted some cow seas, trying to figure out the best fertilizer.
Good luck with that, Dave. Let me know what starts
peeking through the ground. It's a horn. It's scott akfab

(42:05):
dot com. You're welcome to email the program as well.
You know, someone tried to ram his car through a
security gate at the White House last night, and people
tried to ram ice officials with their car the other day,
and where was that? Los Angeles? And it's amazing after

(42:27):
people went out on Saturday and chanted about how we
don't want kings and suggested that some of these politicians
and their gestapo across the country need to be stopped
by any means, and teachers apparently everywhere had just had
to let us know how much they appreciated Charlie Kirk
being killed. It's amazing that some people are getting more

(42:48):
violent on this front. We'll talk about both these stories
and the latest on the president's foreign policy, like we're
not doing that summit. I'm gonna meet with that. I
don't know about this guy, don't believe him. So I'll
give you the latest on all of this.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
Next emails Scott at kfab dot com. And Scott might
read your thoughts on the air via the Zonkers custom
Woods inbox.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
And I might not. You know, that's the risk you
take dealing with me. I'm Scott Voorhees. Generally pretty easy
to work with. Isn't that right, Lucy Chapman, I said,
isn't that right? Lucy Chapman?

Speaker 3 (43:26):
What?

Speaker 2 (43:27):
Thank you? That's Lucy. I'm Scott. This is News Radio
eleven ten KFAB. Lucy. I have a phenomenon in front
of me here. It's a lot of different stories that
all kind of sort of have something to do with
the President of the United States. When I have that phenomenon,
I have to institute what we call a Trump date

(43:52):
to the trance.

Speaker 4 (43:53):
Is your chance to the Trump to the Trump Trump
do the Trump to Trump the Trump Trump. Do the
Trump to Trump? Do you know what the Trump to Trump?

Speaker 2 (44:10):
Y'all? U wants to do the Trump to Trump? Ha,
let's do the Trump to Trump. Some owens do the
Trumpty Trump. I like my oatmeal Trumpy. I once got
busy in a burger king bathroom. Sorry, just doing random
lyrics from this classic song by the actual lyrics. Oh

(44:33):
my gosh, we should do a karaoke Friday. I'll do
the entire Humpty Dance for you. You don't think that's
even a loud digital underground. Absolutely, that's what a great idea.
You know, we're not really getting too much traction as
a rap group. I have a couple of ideas. I'm
gonna put on a big fake nose, an effect of

(44:55):
kind of funny voice, and do an alter ego called
Humpty Hump. That's the stupid this thing ever multi platinum
status later, fantastic stuff. You gotta love it.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
Oh I do. I just don't understand it.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Oh I've never understood it. I love it, and God
rest his soul. That's shockg aka Humpty Hump. He died
a couple of years ago, and I was just that's
going to be a longside note. Anyway, I was. I
was working with him on an April Fool's Day joke
and then communication cut off. I was like, shock, what happened? Man?
Then I found out he died, So sad, so sad.

(45:32):
I didn't kill him. Don't give me that look so long.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
This is a terrible story.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
Trump date. A man was arrested last night after crashing
a car into a security gate near the White House.
According to the Secret Service, about ten thirty DC time,
corner of seventeenth an e guy in an suv with
Maryland plates decided, there's the gate around the White House.

(46:00):
Here's my diabolical, fool proof plan. I'm going to crash
my car into the gate. A. Step one we don't know.
Step two. We also don't know whether the crash was intentional.
Sometimes when you crash into the gates of the White House,
you have to assume. The man was taken to a
hospital for a mental health evaluation, which also suggests this

(46:27):
guy had been listening to voices, which voices the demons
in his head or those who paraded around the country
on Saturday for No King's Day, suggesting that the president
all of his ilk voters gestapo need to be stopped
by any means necessary. People are getting very violent, and

(46:48):
it's not just teachers in Iowa and across the country
threatening violence or celebrating violence against Charlie Kirk and others.
An ICE unit in Los Angeles yesterday had to shoot
an illegal immigrant who tried to escape ICE by ramming
his vehicle into law enforcement. The man was injured, as

(47:11):
was a deputy US Marshall who was hit when a
bullet ricocheted in the hand. He'll be all right. The
man that federal agents were targeting was a TikTok streamer
who regularly documents ICE raids. Hey, guys, if you like
my videos showing you where ICE is, make sure you

(47:32):
subscribe there. It's in the bottom left hand corner and
watch my other videos where I show you how to
take scratches out of your car. Okay, So today we're
here on an LA freeway where ice. Hey, what do
you guys do?

Speaker 3 (47:42):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (47:42):
What do you didn't it? Guys? An illegal immigrant who
decided to put himself out there and live stream where
he was at the exact moment where he was talking
about what law enforcement was doing doing And everybody needs
to run, so they don't get deported by Ice. Richard
la is the guy's name, and little Dicky Law is

(48:06):
now in custody of Ice. You're not allowed to run
your vehicle into anybody, let alone Immigration Customs enforcement agents.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
What about zombies? At some point, I'm not talking about now.
At some point we will be allowed to right.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
I don't know if you've watched any of the various
documentaries on zombies, but running your car into them only
slows them down, It doesn't stop them. Besides, zombies aren't
very fast. So here's the people are like, how do
we deal with zombies? I don't know, a light trot.
They're not real fast. Well, they take a dance break

(48:48):
with Michael Jackson. You just slip out the back. It's
really not that hard. So yeah, people are going after
the White House Gate. Not sure what that's all about,
actively trying to kill Ice. Meanwhile, the Democrat's main concern
this week seems to be on not just the president's

(49:11):
on off foreign policy. Let's see if we can get
all this right. What's the current tote board on this
because it changes by the hour. The meeting with Vladimir
Putin is off. The meeting with Voldemir Zelensky of Ukraine. Happened,
but Ukraine didn't get everything they wanted, and then that
should have opened the door to a better meeting with Putin.
That door is apparently now shut. Trump says he considers it.

(49:36):
It would be a waste of time to meet with
Putin right now. Doesn't trust him, doesn't believe anything he.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
Says, So Trump shut it.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
Yeah. Putin responded by attacking Ukraine. Also because it was Tuesday,
they just do that, So that's not looking real good.
The President says a meeting with Jijenping of China is
on and could yield a good deal on trade. Lost
track of how many times I've heard that, but optimism abounds.

(50:04):
He keeps trying like a zombie. He keeps powering forward.
And Vice President Vance and others were in Israel yesterday saying,
don't worry, the ceasefire is going to hold. Bullets are flying,
bombs are going off in the background. Nothing to see here.
Everything's fine. It would never been more peaceful. Look it's

(50:28):
the Middle East. Tread lightley. Vance said the ceasefire is
going to hold, but admitted quote there are going to
be hills and valleys unquote. Yeah, a lot of people
die in those valleys, hills and valleys. But they're trying.
They're trying harder and having better results than any other

(50:49):
American president. But what's the What are the Democrats all
mad about right now? What are they really keen in
on the construction at the White House. Every president does
a little bit of work at the White House. Obama
put a basketball court in there, you can work on
that sweet jumper. Nixon put in a bowling alley. JFK

(51:14):
put in a room specifically for orgies and debauchery.

Speaker 3 (51:20):
Wasn't that the Lincoln bedroom?

Speaker 2 (51:21):
The Clinton bedroom? Okay, Clinton was just a little kid
at the time. But JFK said, I'm gonna do this
for you. Ask not what I can do for that
young man, Bill Clinton. Ask what Bill Clinton can do
in this room? Teddy, leave some for the rest of us.
And suddenly JFK turned into Edward G. Robinson. There's a

(51:41):
reference for the kids. So Trump is now updated, upgrading
to provide more ballroom. The people at Duluth Trading are like,
that's thing, oh sorry, you know, like the ballroom not
crying then the uh yeah, that's a box a cheap
underwear reference. So the isn't it delude trading that has

(52:06):
the guy that looks like Larry the cable guy wearing
some really comfortable underwear. Anyway, I think so is Larry
getting paid for that? He needs to get her done.

Speaker 3 (52:18):
You put in a ballroom.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
Yeah, they're saying that he's destroying the White House. Then
they're physically they're talking about the physical destruction of some
of the rooms of the White House. He was mocked
for turning the what had previously been what they said
was a beautiful ballroom into a tacky, gaudy, nasty space.

Speaker 3 (52:40):
Oh is it already decorated.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
No, it's just a there's a right now. It looks
pretty bad. They're they're tearing the place apart.

Speaker 3 (52:51):
But well, that's my point.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
It's going to be a ninety thousand square football room.
It costs about two hundred and fifty million dollars and
is partly funded by a guy name Donald J. Trump.
He's personally paying out of pocket for some White House renovations,
including marble floors and gold the Trump trademark gold oval

(53:14):
office accents.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
That's dumb, what that he paint out of pocket, that
he's putting marble floors in did how slippery that stuff? Is? You?
With that on a dance floor?

Speaker 2 (53:24):
Get some better shoes?

Speaker 3 (53:25):
What are you a moron?

Speaker 2 (53:26):
You know what? A lot of traction on the dance floor.
How am I going to do my Kevin Bacon knee
slide during Footloose?

Speaker 3 (53:31):
Well, it's perfect for footloose and for a risky business.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
That's the only song I danced to. I might strip
down to my undies and a slightly buttoned down shirt
and slide across the floor of my socks during old
time rock and roll, But.

Speaker 3 (53:45):
Those other than those two dances, Other than that, this
is going to be a nightmare. He's gonna have guests
falling all over the place.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
Yeah, speaking of dances the minute, the only thing that
they could really do to ruin ruin this ballroom is
to do the cha cha slide. Someone made money on that.
Let's do a song here, all right, here's our song.
Take it back now, y'all. Slide to the left, slide

(54:12):
to the right, Cha cha Like someone made a bunch
of money on that.

Speaker 3 (54:17):
It's a fun song.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
It's not. It's an annoying song.

Speaker 3 (54:20):
I can't dance.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
It's a stupid dance.

Speaker 3 (54:22):
I can't do it.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
And as long as Bride'smaids keep woo doing it every
time it comes on, I guess we're gonna have that
the rest of our lives, aren't.

Speaker 3 (54:30):
We bride'smaids aren't wearing shoes. Wooooo.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
I'm not talking about shoes. I'm talking about that stupid song.
But they seem to be happy. I'm sitting there, arms folded,
longest three and a half minutes of my life, Jesse,
that's what she said. So they said that the president
is destroying the Oval Office, Well, of course he is.
You hate him anyway. Everything he does is destroying the

(54:55):
Oval Office, right. He's putting his own money into this
to try and do some upkeep around there. I don't
know that any other president has even spent their own money,
or any first lady has spent any of their own
money to even put in new curtains, or like I
want a new lamp, make the taxpayers fund it. Trump's like,

(55:16):
how much it costs, I'll pay some of it. That's
how much I want to do it. He's not taking
a salary, and he's putting his own money into some
renovations at the White House. Thanks mister president.

Speaker 3 (55:30):
Now, do you think that's going to get you an
invite when it's done? Yes, just because you thanked him. Yeah,
I don't think it will.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
Thank you very much. Thank you very much, mister president,
and thank you for your attention to this matter. That's
our Trump date Trump Trump Another Trump date here on
eleven ten, Trump Trump kfab Fox News Update next.

Speaker 1 (55:52):
Trump Trump Trump Trump and Scott Voices News Radio eleven.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
They just reopened the Louver, the famed museum in Paris
where you find the Mona Lisa, and they winged Victory
and halls and rooms and this incredible space full of
amazing thing. I mean, we're talking about priceless works of art.

(56:24):
You would think that perhaps at the Famed Louver in
Paris they might have better security. They wouldn't allow someone
to do what these thieves just did the other day
in Paris. I'm sure you've heard the story, but in
case you've only barely been following it, this wasn't an
Ethan hunt. I'm going to get in through the ventilation system,
be lowered down, and work my way through a series

(56:48):
of invisible lasers to be able to steal this diamond.
There's your mission. Impossible reference, which would be your nineties,
two thousands, tens and twenty twenty movie reference for the
segment of the radio program. I love those movies, but
this wasn't any amazing daring like tunneling in through the sewers.

(57:09):
Here's what these guys did. They put on some construction vests.
I presume they bought them at Mangleson's, you know, just
say hey, I want to be a construction worker. And
then they all go in there and buy the construction
worker vests and like, well one of you should be
the Indian or the biker. Are you doing a village
people thing? Hey, don't you worry about it. So they

(57:33):
buy the I don't know, the construction vest and all that.
They get one of those trucks that has a big
ladder coming off the back, like a fire truck where
the ladder is extended to get a cat out of
a tree or something like that. They buy one of those.
They back it up to the loover, they climb the ladder,

(57:55):
cut their way through a window, and then just get in.
I think the place was open at the times. People
are walking around, Oh look at this painting, Look at
that painting, and these guys are just like putting jewels
and paintings or whatever into a bag, and people are like, oh,
it looks like those construction guys are doing some work.

(58:18):
I suppose they know what they're doing. The security at
the louver didn't seem to be all that concerned about it.
They threw a bunch of stuff in the bag and
then they just went down the ladder and they drove off.
They still don't have any idea where these guys are.
The crown jewels and everything else they stolen this heist
are worth an estimated eighty eight million euros, which is like,

(58:42):
I don't know, one hundred and eighty bucks, one hundred
and two million dollars. But this is a monetary value
that doesn't include the fact that you can't just replace
the matching earrings set from Empress Marie Luis, who, as

(59:03):
I'm sure we all know, was the second wife of
Napoleon Bonaparte. Rebound chick got her an emerald necklace some
ear rings. You can't just replace that. So that's why
I say priceless value. What else was grabbed four minutes

(59:24):
inside the loop Eight objects were taken. A sapphire jewel,
a necklace and a single ear ring from a matching
set linked to nineteenth century French queens Marie Amalie and Hortense.
Remember when girls used to be named Hortense Emerald necklace,

(59:46):
ear rings from Bonaparte's Rebound chick a brooch and Empress
Eugenies jewels and large corsage corsage boo broach, a prize
nineteenth century Imperial ensemble. I clearly don't know what this stuff.

(01:00:08):
A bunch of fancy jewelry. If you were to put
it here on the desk in front of me at
the radio station, I wouldn't be able to tell it
from costume jewelry. But you know the people at the Louver,
they tend to know a little bit more about this
kind of stuff than say I might. And you know
what they could have done probably just put that costume
jewelry out in its place, acted like no, there wasn't

(01:00:31):
a heist. The security here at the Louver has never
been better. No one would dare steal anything from this
museum because they know it's impossible. Well, these guys, we
thought they took stuff, this stuff, and they're just pointing
at some cheap costume jewelry they got out from one
of these little vending machines at a pizza restaurant. You
put a quarter in some crud, jewelry falls out, like

(01:00:55):
I got a necklace. That's great, honey. Put that stuff
out there. No one would tell the difference. No one
would know. American tourists, we're idiot. We don't know that stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:01:06):
Like the.

Speaker 2 (01:01:09):
Have you been to Europe. You're in France, you're in Italy, Spain,
and you're looking at this stuff, and you're like, whether
it's in the city or the countryside. They're pointing things
out and the people understand, like, wow, yes, that historic
building used to be not just a church, but also

(01:01:30):
this was the main fortress to protect this town from
the Genghis Khan horde or what. I don't know, So
it has some amazing historical significance. Oh yes, that building.
It used to entertain lords and ladies of the day
and it's been there for eight hundred years. We in

(01:01:53):
America can't wrap our heads around it. We see that.
We come back to Omaha, we're driving around Omaha and
we're like, that used to be a shop. Co Like,
it doesn't have the same So we're we wouldn't know
if they just replace this stuff with cheap costume jewelry.

(01:02:14):
All the tourists in there taking pictures of it constantly
got to take a picture of all this stuff, And yes,
the stereotype exists. There are a lot of Japanese tourists
in there who are taking pictures of everything. And even
though we all have smartphones, they're still using those old
Kodak flash cameras to checha chan like, who are these

(01:02:34):
pictures for? Chu chu chu chu chu? Taking all these pictures.
We have to document this with the people back home
because they don't. We don't have internet. If we don't
show you a picture of the Mona Lisa, it's not
even a selfie with the Mona Lisa. We don't show
you this, you'll have no idea what this looks like.
We're not gonna know. They should have just replaced this

(01:02:56):
stuff with cheap costume jewelry. But here's another point. So
someone took eight items from the louver. Well have you
ever been there? And I know I am absolutely the

(01:03:16):
ugly American for pointing this out. I'm just being honest
with you. My head, my tiny, stupid, uncultured boob American brain.
I can't take all of it. You're just walking from
room to room, whether it's the Louver where I have been,

(01:03:37):
whether it's the Vatican where I have been, and you're
seeing all this, I mean, from room to room, these
great hallways Florida ceiling, and the ceilings are like forty
feet tall, and we got paintings of different sizes and
sculpture and tapestries. They even paint the ceilings. And you're

(01:03:57):
walking around looking at all this ornate magic that was
created hundreds and hundreds of years ago by some of
the Renaissance masters of the day. And after you've seen
forty five solid minutes of it, you don't even care anymore.
You're just walking from room to room. And they're like, yes,
look at that tapestry. Michael Angelo used to wash his

(01:04:20):
he would clean off his feet when he and the
dogs came inside, and we hung it up on that wall.
It's a billion years old and it's worth a fortune.
You're like, yep, and you're just walking around looking all that.
So someone took eight things from the Louver, big deal.
There's way too much crap in there. We can't take
it all. And no one ever went to the louver,

(01:04:42):
going where are those earrings from Napoleon Bonaparte's second wife.
That's what I'm really here to see. We're there because
our wives wanted to see the Mona Lisa and Wing Victory,
the two items in there we've heard of. And we're
walking around the loover going where's the st of David,
that naked guy? And they're like, that's not here, that's

(01:05:04):
in Italy. And you're like, oh, I don't know, where's
that statue of the Thinker? Like that's that not here,
that's at the Rodin Museum. Will go there next? Oh great, glad,
I said something, where are all the paintings that were
created with little dots that when you step back it
becomes a bigger picture, like that's Monet or whatever. That's

(01:05:26):
a different museum. Don't worry, we'll go there next. You're like,
I can't. I can't take all of it, so someone
stole it? Be like it'd be like, here, here's something
I can appreciate. Memorial Stadium here in Nebraska. This is

(01:05:47):
an historic place of great emotional and significant value to Nebraskans.
It would be like if someone broke into Memorial Stadium,
they were dressed like a football team, and no one
was able to tell the difference after that Minnesota game,
like these guys didn't really look like football players. But

(01:06:07):
I watched that game Fridays. I don't know sad to say,
we're gonna get Northwestern, though, go big Red. So these
guys break in the Memorial Stadium, They get out on
the field and they steal eight blades of grass. No
one would notice there's a lot more grass there. This

(01:06:28):
is priceless grass. This is where Tommy Frasier great if
you take me blade by blade through the turf field
on tom Osborne Field and you tell me five minutes
of history about every single blade of turf. At some point,
we're not even out of the end zone yet, and
I'm like, I can't my brain can't handle it. It's

(01:06:51):
totally amazing. How much longer do we have to be here?
There's too much crap in the louver. As far as
I'm concerned, these thieves did them effect.
