Tonight, Zach and Vance dive into a fresh batch of chaos, from Nebraska sports to government incompetence, federal overreach, and the return of the Epstein files.

We kick things off with a look around the AgentLife Media Group universe before diving head-first into the stories the mainstream won’t touch.

🔥 SPORTS

• Nebraska Football: Dayton Raiola de-commits right before signing day, what that means for the program and the matchup vs. Penn State.

• Nebraska Basketball: Huge win over Oklahoma… even after coming out flat.

• College Football: Key storylines heading into the weekend.

• NFL & NBA: Oklahoma City’s wild scenario and league shakeups.

🏛️ LOCAL NEBRASKA NEWS

• Nebraska DOE miscalculates TEEOSA — OPS overpaid $30+ million, while other schools got shorted.

• Nebraska facing a $471 million projected deficit heading into the 60-day legislative session.

• Lawmakers scrambling after last session’s “surplus” vanished overnight.

🌎 NATIONAL NEWS & GOVERNMENT MADNESS

• McDonald’s prices from 2019 vs. 2024 — your wallet definitely noticed.

• Chicago ICE whistleblower Danielle Carter-Walters drops BOMBS on who’s actually responsible for the city’s chaos.

• Government dependency: Why every crisis becomes an excuse to grow the bureaucracy… and why every program becomes a money grab.

• HUD changes: from bragging about dollars spent → to claiming “self-sufficiency metrics.” (We’ll see.)

• Epstein Files Act Signed: Trump signs H.R. 4405, forcing the DOJ to release unclassified Epstein documents in 30 days — flight logs, associates, investigations, and BOP records. A rare 427–1 House vote + unanimous Senate. Survivors want real transparency… but will the redactions tell the truth or bury it?

🔥 Theme of the Week:

“Everything the government touches becomes inefficient, bloated, expensive, or corrupt.”

Whether it’s housing, childcare, healthcare, drugs, mental health, or immigration — the people in charge keep promising solutions, but never deliver results. Let’s talk about it.

This week, Zach and Vance dive into a packed lineup of football, politics, and a few Nebraska curveballs.

🏈 Nebraska vs USC:

Huskers fall 21-17 after Dylan Raiola’s season-ending leg injury. Backup T.J. Lateef couldn’t get the offense rolling, but Emmett Johnson still crossed 1,000 yards on the year with 165 in the loss. USC gashed the Blackshirts for 202 on the ground while Nebraska’s defense held their passing game to its worst day in seven years. Next up: UCLA.

🏀 Husker Hoops:

Fred Hoiberg notched career win #200 as Nebraska dominated West Georgia 86-53 — Frager dropped 22 and the team owned the glass 49-37.

🏈 NFL:

Jordan Love threw maybe the worst ball of 2025, Dallas mourns DE Marshawn Kneeland, and the trade deadline went nuclear — Sauce Gardner to Indy, Quinnen Williams to Dallas, the Eagles loading up, and half the league shaking rosters.

🏘 Local:

Norfolk City Council flips the old Mi Tienda Hernandez grocery into a liquor-store zoning, PD breaks ground on a $7 million expansion, and campaign filings show Dan Osborn paying his wife’s new consulting firm $114K off-disclosure.

🗽 In Other News:

Sen. Rick Scott’s No Budget No Pay Act blocked by Dems.

Ron Johnson warns the filibuster fight is heating up.

Pelosi retires after calling Trump a “vile creature” — and he fires right back.

Meanwhile, Zohran Mamdani’s socialist win in New York has even Stephen A. Smith fuming, and Dr. Oz joins Secretary Brooke Rollins in exposing how six Dem-run states allegedly funneled federal healthcare money to illegals.

It’s politics, sports, and plenty of Useless Assumptions — where the facts are true, but the assumptions… never are.

All that and more on todays show!

This week on Useless Assumptions, Zach and Vance break down Nebraska’s gritty win over Maryland — where Dylan Raiola struggled but Emmet Johnson ran wild and Special Teams came up clutch. Then it’s a trip around the sports world, from college football chaos to the NFL’s never-ending drama.

In local news, Governor Pillen takes on Nebraska’s property tax mess, and we dive into the “Good Life, Great Careers” initiative.

Then buckle up for national madness: sterile flies in Texas, D.C. judges going soft on crime, ICE fences falling in Chicago, and the FBI snooping on Senators. Add Bernie, Fetterman, and “No Kings Day” chaos — and you’ve got another week of America losing its mind.

Where the facts are true, but our assumptions are useless.

The Useless Assumptions crew is back with a wild week of wins, losses, and political chaos. Nebraska pulls off another Husker victory while Washington fumbles another play — the government shutdown drags into Day 9, Trump steps in on the Middle East ceasefire, and the world keeps spinning.
