Rosie's Leftovers

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We are time shifting the rosie to Friday to Thursday,
for we have a special Rosie de genozi tomorrow. First
up today fake news you can trust from the Babylon Bee.
The special needs community is demanding we stop comparing their
people to Tim Walls. And now for the real thing.
The Federal Reserve, the nation's bank, held its nose and

(00:23):
cut its prime lending rate to three point five zero percent,
the lowest in three years. It was not unanimous. Three
of the twelve Fed governors, including Omahas Jeffrey Schmid, voted
against the cut. Says inflation is not yet under control.
The markets expected this, so Wall Street was up a little.
Police and ann Arbor, Michigan chased a guy all over

(00:44):
the county yesterday afternoon, finally caught him and locked him up.
It's Sharon Moore, who that morning was head football coach
of the Michigan Wolverines. At noon, he was fired with cause.
Found him having sex with his twenty something secretary. The
married father of three confronted the mistress, which is when
law enforcement arrived. Six million a year gone, no severance,

(01:08):
another win for Democrats for the first time in thirty years.
One is elected mayor of Miami. Sixty one year old
Eileen Higgins, a county commissioner, beat a Trump endorsed at Latino.
It was not close. She only campaigned on two things,
affordability and mass deportations. Republicans have eleven months to figure

(01:30):
out how to win an election without the president. A
fifty five year old Omaha woman was killed late Tuesday
night near fifty ninth at Ames, hit by a truck
which knocked her into oncoming traffic. She was in a wheelchair.
Come next year, Nebraska volleyball won't be just for the
rich and famous, just the rich. Husker Athletics announces a

(01:50):
new seating chart. Court side season tickets will range from
eighty six hundred to ten thousand, six hundred a pair.
Some of the fans in those seats now were there
when they unfolded their seats for the matches. Every seat
in John Cook Arena, except student tickets next year will
carry a tariff. Seems Big Red doesn't want fans anymore,

(02:11):
they want customers. Each year, ninety thousand of US are
diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. For years, the medical community believed
it was genetic. Not anymore. The rate of new cases
has doubled in the last thirty years. Doctors now believe
Parkinson's comes from the sum of our environments. The oil refinery,

(02:32):
a town over, lead in the paint of Grandpa's barn,
the sheath in which you microwaved a hot pocket thirty
years ago, air pollution, pesticides. If it's true, then what
we made to cause it we can fix. Come first
to the year. The anchor chair at the CBS Evening News,
once occupied by Walter Cronkite, the most trusted man in America,

(02:54):
will be filled by a twice married, one time hair model,
forty four year old Tony Ducapil, who had been doing
the news on the CBS Morning Show. They tried to
get Fox's Bret Bear for this. That newscast has been
in decline for years. Seventy five years ago, boatswen Mate's
second class John D. Anderson was on the deck of

(03:14):
the USS Arizona when enemy planes descended on Pearl Harbor.
The ship was hit exploded, but Anderson refused to leave
until he located his twin brother. He failed. John was
one of the last to survive, carrying with him the
profound sorrow. Despite a lifetime of service and resilience. Well,

(03:35):
the weight is over. On Sunday, the anniversary of that
dastardly attack, Navy divers took Boatswyen Johnson's ashes into the
hull of the Arizona, finally reuniting him with the brother
for whom he had never stopped searching, and the one thousand,
one hundred and seventy seven crew mats entombed, but who
still stand in silent watch today. In this week's Tournament
