Nebraska's Morning News

Important conversations from this morning's show while most of us were waiting for basketball to start:  Scott Knudsen from the Patriot Guard Riders preparing for the metro's next military funeral procession next week; Platte Institute CEO Jim Vokal on the state budget shortfall and city wastewater expense controversy, and Nebraska Cattlemen president Craig Uden on how we can help the ag producers...

Because everything was broken yesterday, our St. Patrick's Day show never posted here!  So, I'm posting just our conversations with Sheriff Aaron Hanson (dog abuse case) and Sen. Pete Ricketts (wildfires, Iran, basketball).  

A wildfire update, Lucy's "dumb question" about helping out the sandhills, Trump's latest defection, "sacrifice" here at home during the Iran conflict, and -- oh, yeah -- lots of basketball to consume inside with perfect weather outside.  THIS is "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year."

Wildfires in the west, ice in the east, wind EVERYWHERE, and Nebraska basketball limping into the bracket.  Madness.

Plus, our state budget fight, rumpled journalists admonished, Greg Wagner from NE Game and Parks, and more!

In today's edition of "Scotty Doesn't Know," we also cover the President's 180 on the oil reserves, a guest joining us live from Israel, Omaha falling out of love with a parade, baseball cards, rap battles in the Raising Cane's drive-thru, and more.

Why do we put up with her?  Because sometimes she gives us perfect days like Monday!  Also today:  Another stadium proposed for Omaha, potential for "boots on the ground" in Iran, what is the SAVE America Act, and so much more it will blow your mind!

We get there midway through today's show, which also includes chit-chat about war with Iran, Gov. Pillen's war on ballot initiatives, the death of Boston's "lead singer," and more!

We gained an Ayatollah, lost an hour of sleep, cheered for our Husker seniors, and are taking it in the shorts at the pump and on Wall Street.  What a way to start the week!

Noem's no more, Markwayne's up, Mayor's meeting with mad streetcar businesses, Sadlemyer and Wager stop by, Rosie's reducing NU's new QB to an iconic movie character -- there's a lot going on!

Baxter CEO Mickey Anderson played for Coach Holtz on that Notre Dame championship team, and takes us inside the locker room for that "Catholics vs Convicts" game!  Later, Senators Joni Ernst and Deb Fischer talk about how we got to this point with Iran, and where we should be going.  We also put Jim Rose in charge of Target, ask Lucy about the condition of her liver, discuss politicians' alleged a...

And, of course, honoring a fallen soldier from Bellevue.  This is where we come to laugh, cry, and get through the day together.

And the sinkhole's filled while Iran's getting pockmarked!

Operation Epic Fury took out the Supreme Leader and probably caused yesterday's earthquake in Nebraska.

Today, we're believing Hillary, explaining MAGA, retiring Mr. Clean, welcoming Greg Wagner from Nebraska Game and Parks, and more!

Also: Not enough babies at UNO, bending the rules for Tom Osborne, Mikel Welch from the Drew Barrymore Show ahead of his appearance at Omaha's Home & Garden Expo this weekend, and Emery Songer stops by from "under the rug!"

"Right, Scott?" -- President Trump

Today, we covered (as only we can) "Lost Boys: Lincoln Edition," whether the President will talk until sunrise for the "SOTU," Gov. Newsom reading "Black Like Me," the loss of the top "Nerd," "Bud Crawford's Driving Academy" and a lot of other things I can't put in "quotes."

Also this morning: Trump tariffs, "destroying Nebraska's wetlands," lots of USA! USA! USA! and more.

"KFAB Junior Cub Reporter" Aaron Hanson reports from the snow-packed streets, Jim Flowers called this storm and is already sniffing out the next one, Bob Kerrey's name pops up in the Epstein files, NE Game and Parks' Greg Wagner stops in, and more.

After a quick rant about how you're being lied to regarding the "equal time provision," we welcome former senator Ben Sasse back to the show to check in with him before later having a conversation with Rep. Don Bacon.

We have that Trump-inspired hypocrisy on parade, as well as conversations about a desert full of DNA, pressure on the Huskers, scary ICE lies in the Unicameral, and more.

It turns out it was serendipitous that we started thinking of Rush Limbaugh in the wake of Rev. Jesse Jackson's death.  Find out why here, and listen to us also talk about Robert Duvall, Mardi Gras, an Omaha woman who got clocked by a car during a donut session, and more.

And FICTIONAL President's Day!  We also accuse Gov. Newsom of "treason light," look at the latest "woke garbage" that has upset Nebraska's governor, and more.

On today's terrifying show: Being Guthrie's neighbor, Lucy busting out of jail, Sheriff Hanson on a 42-yr-old cold case, Greg Wagner from NE Game and Parks, and more!
