Speaker 1 (00:00):
We'll get to Kamala Harris, Donald Trump, Trump taking questions
from reporters, something that Kamala Harris hasn't done since all
the Joe Biden stuff has gone down.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Well, we'll get to that. I don't want to start
with that.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I'll talk about Donald Trump talking about the FBI and
its investigation into the assassination is hit because we know
so many people think the FBI is part of the
plot potentially to go after him or everyone. And you know,
I'm just gonna hear what Trump has to say. I'll
tell you what he said and all that jazz. It's
a Thursday, thirsty Thursday, right, I'm at I'm into Moin
(00:37):
for the Iowa State Fair.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Can you tell? Can you? Can you tell?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Very slightly? The audio sounds really good. You definitely sound
like you're in a nice studio. It's not one of
those remotes, you know, where you can hear the wind
and you know what I mean. You sound very crisp.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah, well, I'm not actually on the fair grounds, for
whatever it's worth, I am in a nice studio, So
goodyear from you on that.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah, what are you drinking today?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Man?
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Like?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Uh, you know, I usually you're You're pretty boring when
it comes to this sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
No disrespect, but you know.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
What do you think I got myself right here? You know,
I've been on a kick and energy drink kick lately,
and I'm a big energy drink person, so see, I
used to be a coffee guy all the way. But
I got myself. It's a monster, ultra fantasy.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Ruby Red. Now that's a name right there. I don't
even know what that is.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I don't either. It tasted like kind of like cherry.
Oh yeah, would you have it again?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Yeah, Okay, I'm drinking h two. Oh, I'm the boring
one today, you know, scrambling around. I'm gonna be so
unhealthy for the next eleven days. I mean, it's just
a reality of the situation that I'm in right now.
I wanted to talk to you about something that is
somewhat interesting first though, and we'll get to more politics.
(01:56):
If you're listening for politics, we'll get to that in
a second. However, are you familiar with CrossFit?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I heard about it.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Have you done CrossFit before? I don't think so. I
feel like i'd know if I have. I don't think
I have.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
What do you mean you don't know. If you like,
how does one not know? I mean, I've done a
lot of workouts. Maybe it's slipped in.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You know, you accidentally did CrossFit. That's not how CrossFit works.
Take my georts to the gym, start working out. All
of a sudden, somebody's like, hey, you're doing CrossFit too. Yeah,
that's not how it works. You have to go to
a class.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Okay. It's like, could one do yoga by themselves, maybe
stumble into some yoga.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, you're just like doing yoga by yourself. I thought
I was stretching, turned out I was doing yoga yoga.
I don't know, right, like that, you have to go
to a CrossFit class to get rote workouts programmed for
you or whatever. Anyway, CrossFit, did you know that it's
a spectator sport as well. Oh like the CrossFit games.
My wife is big in the CrossFit. I've done CrossFit before.
(02:53):
I'm not currently doing CrossFit. It's not for everybody, but
it's a great way to get some high intensity workouts
and it's a good community that you can get into.
Right most cities have a CrossFit gym that you can join,
and the CrossFit Games are going on now. It's kind
of like everybody who does CrossFit could do this, but
they do like regionals and all this stuff is like
(03:14):
put in online and you have to film it in
a certain way and then they take the top scores
and you advance to certain rounds. And then in Madison, Wisconsin,
they do what they call the CrossFit Games, which is
basically a series of workouts two or three per day
that they you're able to do, and they're a variety
of different kind of activities that give you like different
they work out different parts of your body. It's all
(03:36):
very high intensity, but it's also working out different parts
of your body. Right, Yeah, the Crossfait Game started today
and part of one of the events today was a swim.
You know, it was a run and swim, and you know,
weightlifting is also mostly included in the CrossFit but I'm
not exactly sure what this workout was. But Individual event
one of the CrossFit Games today. A couple hours ago,
(03:59):
there was a post by the cross Fit Games Facebook page,
and I'm just going to quote this CrossFit is deeply
saddened by the death of a CrossFit Games competitor during
the swimming portion of Individual event one at the twenty
twenty four CrossFit Games. We are fully cooperating with authorities
and doing everything we can to support the family. At
this time, the remainder of today's events have been suspended.
The well being of competitors is our first priority, and
(04:19):
we are heartbroken by this tragic event. You hear something
like that matt end quote. By the way, you hear
something like that, what's the first thought that you have
in your head? What's your first reaction?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Well, it's a rough one. You wonder how it happened.
How is there not somebody there to see it?
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Well, there are a few different things here. Okay, so
this is actually not in Madison, Wisconsin this year. It's
down in Texas around the Fort Worth area.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
There was a guy.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
The guy's name is Lazarre Dukitch is his name. He's
a twenty eight year old and they live stream these
events so you can watch them, right, and he was
apparently toward the front of the pack.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
He is a former w polo player. Again, this was swimming.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
He's had a ton of water safety courses and stuff,
which tells you you just can't take this kind of
thing for granted. But apparently he vanished near the end
of the eight hundred meters swim in this lake, and
it was about eight am this morning our time, and
two hours later they were able to find him, unfortunately,
obviously way too late. He's a Serbian, he's from Serbia,
(05:28):
and I don't know there's there's very minimal details at
this point, but many people saw, you know, they could
see him vanishing right like he's there, and then he
wasn't there. But he wasn't wearing like it's CrossFit right,
Like he's not wearing a super bright like swimming cap
or anything. He's just swimming. It's just like a dude
(05:50):
in the lake swimming. So it wasn't super noticeable immediately.
I think that he was gone. Now again, there's no
information at the time, what like they didn't notice across
the finish line. There weren't enough, like a lot of
people are speculating, there's just not enough officials out there
on the lake to be monitoring these people.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It wasn't easy to see.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Once he got out there, they just noticed that he
didn't come back, and nobody really knew where he was
because he didn't have anything bright on. And they're saying,
even though we had all this swim experience. You know,
there's no way to know exactly what may have happened
to him. It could have been like a cardiac event.
It's in the middle of a workout. You never know
these things, right, right? Can they complete? Do you think
this event goes on because it's supposed to go through Sunday?
(06:32):
Do you think they keep doing the CrossFit Games? There
are tons of people, thousands of people that go in
to watch this as a spectator sport. Obviously a ton
of athletes from around the world are here to compete.
One of their fellow competitors has passed away doing the event.
What could they could they possibly do that?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
That's a tough one. I feel like you probably don't.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I don't know how you can either, actually, Like, especially
when you're talking about this, being like how can you
ever book a swimming event?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Again?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Like swimming isn't necessary? Like don't you don't go to
acrossfit class in Omaha. They don't have a swimming pool
there that you just go swim in as part of
a workout. You don't go jump in a lake and
swim as part of a workout there. Maybe on a
special occasion they might do something like that, but I've
never been a part of something like that.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I don't think my wife has either.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
But this is a guy that has swimming experience and
a former player of water polo, which you need to
be a strong swimmer to be able to do that.
I don't think the swimming part of this was the issue.
I think them not being able to notice that he
was gone and that something happened to him was a
bigger issue.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Am I wrong for thinking on those lines? No, that
makes sense. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
It's sad though, I mean it's definitely sad, and CrossFit
is a kind of high intensity thing. I'm honestly a
little bit surprised that they haven't had a major injury
or something like that in years past, just not that
CrossFit is that it's not killing people, right, but it
is high intensity and there are people of all ages
that are taking part, and they have a bunch of
different age brackets at part of these CrossFit games, and
(08:08):
you're doing multiple workouts today. I'm just surprised there hasn't
been more legitimate, Like there are people that get, you know,
dinged up or hurt, just like any other sport, but
man death is a different conversation. It'll be interesting to
see what kind of spotlight is put on the CrossFit
games and how their operations like are working. If this
is something that truly is happening, and not that it's
(08:29):
happened once ever, but the fact that happened today is
pretty stark and crazy. One more sports related story I'm
going to get to you next, and that has to
do with the fastest man in the world, the one
hundred meter dash winner Noah Lyles from the United States
of America, won an incredible race, the closest one hundred
meter dash ever. Well, he took part in the two
hundred meter final, which happened earlier today, not that long
(08:49):
ago in fact, and I will tell you what the
results were of that and a bigger story potentially that's
coming out after that race. We'll do that and tak
Kamala Harrison Donald Trump next on new Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Emery Sungner on news Radio eleven ten KFAB.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You're familiar with Noah Lyles, I sure, am, yeah, yeah.
He won the one hundred meter dash at the Olympics
a few days ago.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
He's that's the race.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
People are like, you're the fastest man in the world
if you win that. He's a big talker. He's the
guy who famously said last year after he won the
world championship in the one hundred at the Track and
Field Championships, not the Olympics, the FOEBA World Championships were
going on for men's basketball and the United States lost
in the semi finals and didn't medal, and he basically said,
(09:39):
all these teams in you know, North America, like the NBA,
they're saying they're the world champions, the world champion of
what the United States? I mean, it's a classic quote.
It's great stuff, but there. I mean, he's a he's
a big time talker. And he backed it up winning
the closest one hundred meter dash ever, winning right at
the line. It was an incredible race, and he he's
(10:00):
actually more of a two hundred meter runner. It has
been one of the best in the world at the
two hundred as well, and he won. He ran that
just oh less than an hour ago. Is it okay
for me to spoil?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
This means?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Right? I mean, like it's a sporting event. If you've
dvrd it, you're going to see it on social media.
It may even be popping up here in our newscast.
I'm going to tell you so, if you're not trying
to know the results of the two hundred meter dash
the Olympics that happened in the last hour or so,
plug your ears and say la la la la for
about ten seconds.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
All right? Am I good? You think? I think so?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Noah Asles lost. He finished third. He was more favored
in this race than he was the one hundred, and
he lost. He finished third. Let's seal, Let's seal. Tobogo
from Botswana won the two hundred. It's the first gold
medal ever for Botswana. Silver goes to Kenny Bednarek, another American.
(10:56):
He actually ran his track and field in college at
Indian Hills com Unity College, which is in my hometown
of Tumble, Iowa.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
How cool is that?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
So a guy from you know, who's got a history
in my hometown finished second, won the silver. No Alliles
finished third. I bring this up as soon as he finishes.
Noelliles goes down to a knee having trouble breathing. Now
he famously also has asthma. Now it doesn't seem like
it bothers him all that much. All the time. But
(11:25):
you know, he finishes third and he goes to a knee,
and you know, you're wondering what the heck's going on.
Roughly fifteen minutes after that, reports came out and were
confirmed by United States Track and Field that Noah Lyles
ran the race while being diagnosed with COVID nineteen. Wow,
he ran the race while being diagnosed with COVID. He
threw a mask on and was wheeled in a wheelchair
(11:49):
off the.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Track, but he didn't run with the mask on. He
did not.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
There are several ways we can go about talking about this.
I think I want to start, first of all with
remember just three years ago that if you tested positive
for COVID nineteen, especially if you're in the Olympics, you
were basically sent home like they would they would what's
the word sequester, that you had to go in hibernation,
in hiding. What's the word quarantine. That's quarantine. Yeah, you
(12:15):
had a quarantine for like what two weeks or something
five days. They kept messing with the timeline, but you
couldn't compete. You couldn't even like get out out of
your Olympic village room. Remember that they wanted to everybody
to be in a bubble so the COVID wouldn't get
in there, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
What I mean.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Yeah, you had to sign a cannot compete clause.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Something like that. I think that's for a different thing.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
But I bring this up also because not only did
he do that, but he's dapping people up and all
this stuff, and he knowingly had COVID nineteen. Now again,
I think we all can agree at this stage of
the game that COVID nineteen is being treated more like
a common cold these days than it is anything else.
Am I wrong for saying that? Is that an earsonle
(13:00):
thing to say in twenty twenty four?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Well, maybe I don't know. I was maybe more like
the flu, the common flu.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, maybe that. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Like I asked this a couple of weeks ago. I think,
when's the last time you tested for COVID nineteen.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Oh man, I'd have to go back.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
It's a way while back, right, Like, people aren't just
like COVID testing themselves whenever they get a sniffle these
days like we did in twenty twenty right.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I think it was January of twenty twenty three for me. Okay,
I think I'm even way before that. I think I
went on a vacation in twenty twenty two, I had
to get an airplane, and I tested before that. I
think I never once tested positive for COVID, for whatever
that's worth. But it's like, if you got diagnosed with
COVID nineteen, that was the end. You couldn't travel, you
(13:45):
couldn't get on the plane. They made you wear the mask.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
What made that? Like?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
What's so different? Now he knew he had it. They
were able to confirm that he ran with COVID nineteen
here literally minutes after he finished his third Are we
okay with this?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I could see the other athletes, you know, if they
come down with it and it affects the rest of
their games. I could see them being upset. But some
of these guys might have some relays still to run.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but still, dude, Like, just the idea
that he's got COVID nineteen. Now it's the gold medal
rays for the favorite in this event.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I don't want it. I'm not wishing that on anyone.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
And let's be honest, there's probably plenty of people who
probably had COVID or something pretty similar bronchitis. Or something
and battle through and go to work with some regularity.
Am I wrong to say that?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Now?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I still think there are people like that, aren't there? Oh?
For sure?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I didn't come to work with hand, foot and mouth,
but it was pretty obvious I had it, you know,
like you can visually tell that I had that.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Well, and you go to work with hand foot and mouth.
Who wouldn't be able to understand you? You know, you
with your hands and your feet in your mouth the
whole time.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
That's not how that works.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Oh no, No, I just had a bunch of spots
and blister looking things on my hands and some canker
swors in my mouth. Yeah, no, it sucked. It was terrible,
but you could obviously tell I was. Well, there are
people that are probably carrying around bronchitis or tonsilitis or
a sinus infection or all that stuff, and you can't tell, right,
So there was no way to know here. If he
wins the gold medal, do we find out he's COVID positive?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Hmm? Does he get taken off in a wheelchair?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
M You know what I'm saying. There's another angle to this,
There's another layer of this US Track and Field said it.
I'm not saying that this is a liar of fake
I really think that he probably has it. I don't
know how I feel about him still running this race
with this virus that we were told just three short
years ago in the same event that it was literally okay,
you can't be seen again at these games, don't be
(15:37):
around anybody. Yet here he is dapping people up before
and after the race, before he goes to a knee
and needs to be wheeled off in a wheelchair with
a mask on his face. And then immediately after that
US Track and Fields like, oh, yeah, by the way,
he's got COVID.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
So what I haven't seen the video, but you're saying
he was like high five in people.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I think, like, it's hard to tell who's high five
and who. I don't have all of the angles. Somebody
to stage left like rolls in a wheelchair and it's like, hey, well, okay,
so what happens is and this is the best I
can tell. I'm not one hundred percent sure how many
guys like he high fived or anything because people are
trying to high five him. He's, you know, one of
the best runners in the world. But he finishes the race,
kind of goes to it and even lays on his back.
(16:16):
It looks really tired. This looks like he's spent, right,
And I've already prefaced this. He famously has asthma, and
you're telling me that he also has, you know, a
COVID nineteen, which we found out after the fact. But again,
this is a guy that talks as much crap as
anybody in sports today around the world.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
He is incredibly good at what he does. But he lost.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
And then now they like slowly like after they there
was they checked on him and then they had a
wheelchair come and pick him up, and they put a
mask on his face and then got wheeled out of
the track.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
What do you think it would have been cool if
you gotten gold, because then we could say, Noah Lyles
defeated COVID.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
It's over, it doesn't exist anymore. Okay, hold on, we'll
take a break. We'll come back.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
They just posted a minute and a half long interview
about him talking about what happened. They got interview him now,
so I'll play that for you next. This is some
wild stuff at the Olympics, saying we'll talk about Trump
Kamala Harris, the campaign trailer and what Trump said when
he was actulearly taking questions from actual reporters, something Kamala
Harris has yet to do. That's coming up next on
(17:14):
news Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Em Arey's songer Sharmick with someone You Love on news
Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Matt, we were talking about Noah Lyles and the two
hundred meter dash or two hundred meters run or whatever
you want to call it at the Olympics. I was
watching the beginning of the race. He's I can't see
him really dapping people up, but he's jumping around like
a maniac to get himself hyped up, you know what
I mean, and hyping the crowd up and everything, you know,
being the big personality that he is. If you missed it,
(17:45):
he runs the two hundred meters, he was the favorite.
He's an American guy. He won the one hundred meters.
He finishes the race third, loses to a guy from
Botswana who wons the gold medal, first gold medal ever
for Botswana, and then fellow American Kenny benn Erik, who
has a history running at Indian Hills Community College, in
my hometown of at Tumble, Iowa. He finished second and
won the silver. I uh, I don't know, man, I'm
(18:08):
looking at this and he's going crazy. After the race,
he kind of goes down to a knee and then
like takes a bunch of deep breass. He gets wheeled
off in a wheelchair, puts a mask on his face,
and then we find out ten minutes later he has
been diagnosed with COVID nineteen ahead of this race, well
right on time.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
They did an interview.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Lewis Johnson from NBC in the American broadcast found no
Alliles wearing an N ninety five mask on his face
track side and did an interview, and here is No
Alliles speaking with NBC's Lewis Johnson after this race to
try to clarify it was.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Unfortunately situations to see you there. I reported that you
tested positive for COVID two days ago. What was your
reaction to that diagnosis, Expecies, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I woke up early about five am on Tuesday morning,
and expeci me, I just it was feeling really horrible then,
and I knew it was more than just being sore
from one hundred, you know. Woke up the doctors and
we tested and unfortunately it came.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Up that I was positive for COVID.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
You know, my first thought was not to panic, you know,
thinking you know, I've been in worse situations and I've
run with you know, worse conditions I felt. And we
just took it day by day, trying to hydrate as much,
quarantined off. And I definitely say that it's taking its
toll for sure. But I've never been more proud of
myself for being able to come out here and getting
(19:26):
a bronze medal. Where last Olympic I was very disappointed.
In this time, I couldn't been more proud.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Did you ever consider not running the two hundred final?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
No, No, I did it. I just said we were
just gonna try and quarantine as much as possible, stay away,
not trying to you know, pass it off, and then
just to be honest and give it my all.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
If I wasn't to make it, then.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Somebody would have definitely taken my spot, and that would
have been my sign that I, you know, didn't deserve
to be in the final.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Okay, now, how does this diagnosis affect your potential availability
for the fool I wanted to be the relay with
Team USA.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, at the moment, I don't know. I'm I'm feeling
more on the side.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Of, you know, letting t Musa do their thing and
now they've proven what great certainty that they can handle
it without me, And if if that's the case we're
coming off today, then I'm perfectly fine saying.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Hey, you guys, go do your thing.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Do you guys have more than enough speed to be
able to handle it and get the gold medal?
Speaker 5 (20:22):
Noah, thank you for stopping by to explain it to everyone,
and we sure.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Hope you feel better, all right, Thank you?
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Lewis.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
What do you think.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Matt's I mean, it's it's interesting, isn't it. Imagine if
this was a couple of years ago, he'd probably be
banned from the sport forever.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, don't you think you.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Know what they should have done? They should have n't
had him run in one of those hamster wheels, just
to play it safe. Oh, like the little ball like
your ball, and that would have been cool.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I don't know how that would have gone. What do
you think, I I it's COVID. COVID's been over right, Well,
what's different? About COVID now than it was three years ago, right, Like,
he tested positive two days ago and then they still
let him run and didn't tell anybody until after he lost.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
And you know, and somebody might say, oh, there's less
cases of it. How do you know, we don't really
hear that reported on anymore.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
No, But and that's the thing. Nobody's monitoring that sort
of thing.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Even if the fact that he tested positive on Tuesday,
that stuff would have immediately immediately come out as news
as soon as it happened.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah, right, like they right, yeah, Like nowadays they were.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Able to keep like one of the most high profile
Olympians for United for the United States of America, all
of a sudden he gets sick, he gests positive for
COVID nineteen quarantines, and nobody picks up on it until
after he loses. And if he wins, if he wins
the gold medal, does this happen at all? Does he
get wheeled off? Does he say he ran with COVID nineteen,
any of that happened. And I'm not trying to say
(21:47):
Noell Ayles is you know, one of those guys, But
I get the vibe that you know, anybody who's a
big trash talker. Whenever they don't win, there's some level
of excuse. I'm not saying he's not sick. I'm not
saying he doesn't really have COVID nineteen. I'm just saying
it's interesting how all of this came out after the fact,
that nothing was reported before the fact. And if it
was reported before the fact, would they have prevented him
(22:08):
from running? Did they keep that information out of the
public eye so he could run? Is that not an
ethical violation of some kind? If you were me tested
positive for COVID nineteen two days ago and we showed
up to work and people found out about it, don't
you think we would have gotten.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
In some trouble.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Depends on the workplace these days.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
But you know, ah, he's shown up to work sick though, Right, Yeah,
technically we were told by many people, many people in
high places, for many months, years even, that you really
need five days away from everyone before this has worked
its way through your system. Otherwise you are very contagious.
(22:47):
Right yeah, Well.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
What's different now? What's different now? Time? I hate this.
I hate this.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Somebody needs to rectroactively go back and tell us as
human beings Okay, we definitely mess that whole code thing up.
But you know what, it's okay because we'll get it
right the next time that there's a worldwide pandemic that
you have to go through. We won't though, of course
we won't. That's the sarcasm of it.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Geez.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
We went through this one hundred years ago. We have
the history of books filled with what happens. It cycles
its way through, and then it's done. People act like
this was a new normal all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah, well it was a new normal for long enough,
and now it's just a guy got sick instead of
getting the flu. You know, Michael Jordan in the flu game,
remember that, Yeah, when really everybody's saying he got pizza
food poisoning. Some people were saying he was just hungover.
It really wasn't the flu at all. Well, everybody celebrated
that he did what he did. He scored like thirty
(23:44):
nine points in a huge NBA Finals game in Utah
in some altitude sick in nineteen ninety seven. Fast forward
twenty five years. I mean, you're a villain for trying
to overcome your illness and do your athletic event. I
don't know, it's just weird. It'll be interesting to see
how people reac this, not just the COVID part of this,
but the way that it was handled in Would it
(24:04):
have been handled the same? If he wins, that to
me is and do you buy that he's not running
the four by one hundred another chance to win a
gold medal.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
He says he's not going to do it. Well, he
said he don't. He doesn't know, but he's leaning on
the side of not doing it.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
I gotta get out that gotta get out that hamster ball,
you know, put put him in the plastic ball.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
How do they give him the baton in that situation?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Oh yeah, that's part of a that's a big part
of the relay.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Little like oh they could do like the bank thing,
you know, I don't know. I'm thinking. I'm thinking as we're.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Talking here, Yeah, I think you need to worksh up these. Yeah,
it's percolating though.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah, Well, if he misses the four by one hundred,
I'll believe that he's legitimately really sick still, because that's
like a guaranteed gold medal if he if he runs, like,
who would pass that up?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
He just got to run one hundred meters. Come on,
Who am I to say this?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Though? I could run one hundred meters right now, just
a lot slower than he can. It's two forty eight.
I got to get to some politics here. Kamala Harris
back on the campaign troll, not answering questions from reporters,
Donald Trump is I'll hit some of the highlights coming
up and we'll talk about that as well. By the way,
let's go ahead and do some tickets right now. Sugar
Ray coming to Omaha this Saturday. What do you think, Matt?
(25:13):
Fifty four, Yeah, fifty four, the fifty fourth caller, you
win a pair of tickets to see Sugar Ray. Call
four h two five five eight eleven ten. Four h
two five to five eight eleven ten. That's the phone
number we'll take. The fifty fourth caller wins a pair
of tickets to Sugar Ray in Omaha this Saturday. Matt,
I'll get you the details when you call and win
right here on news radio eleven ten.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Kfab Emery Songer on news Radio eleven ten.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Kfab got some things that Donald Trump said to the
press today. He did take questions down there in mar Alago.
We talked about debates and what the likelihood of debates are.
And we now know that there are three debates that
are agreed to by Donald Trump according to him, and
with Fox, ABC and NBC September fourth with Fox, September tenth,
(25:59):
with ABC for twenty fifth with NBC. Now again, I
know all of these different places this, I don't know
what we're going to learn over three debates so closely together.
Those are, with three debates in a three week span.
I obviously think that debates are important, and he said
it's important to have debates as well, and that's fine.
(26:21):
We weren't quite sure if this was something that they
were going to be able to agree on now that
the rules likely are going to be changing a little
bit with Kamala Harris's involvement. I'll be honest, I thought
that the lack of an audience there, to me, I
liked it. I thought the moderators, even though I really
felt like Jake Tapper and Dana Bash were going to
be very skewed and protect Joe Biden in the see
(26:44):
and in debate, they did not.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
They did not.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Did Joe Biden crashed and burned right in front of
our eyes, And they didn't really do a whole lot
to stop. It didn't really interrupt anybody, didn't, you know,
do anything weird? The MIC's being cut off after each answer,
and nobody could really interrupt each other. I thought all
of that made a lot of sense, and I thought
it was a debate that we could learn a lot,
even if we didn't actually learn a lot except that
(27:06):
Joe Biden can't stand up in the same place for
ninety minutes and be coherent. A big part of me
really hopes that if we're doing three debates, we can
just do these debates and it doesn't have to be
a circus every single time. Just different moderators asking different questions,
different angles, and we learn as much as we can
about the two candidates and what they stand for. No
(27:27):
word on a potential vice presidential debate, but speaking of
vice president, Donald Trump praised jd Vance and said he's
really stepped up and is doing a fantastic job. I
don't you know, I think at this point he's got
to lean in and say that he's doing a good time,
some really good work, even if I'm a bit skeptical
as to how much jd Vance is actually helping Donald
(27:48):
Trump at all.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
With his electability.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I think if anything, he and some of the stuff
that people are attributing him saying is hurting the campaign
if anything, right now that could level out after this
initial excitement and enthusiasm for a brand new ticket on
the Democratic side. Is that starts to you know, like
settle a little bit. That's the kind of thing to
me that you know you're going to have to keep
(28:11):
an eye on. Is it can Jdvans kind of grow
into a role as being a good JD Vance and
not just a Donald Trump understudy. Also, Donald Trump said
he believed abortions become much less of an issue because
again he said abortion and exceptions of instances of rape
insis in the life of the mother.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
That is the only time that abortion should be allowed.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
But he also said states should have the right to
make their own rules about it.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
He said that over and over again.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
So it'll be interesting to see if the American public
actually pay attention this time. What does he say though
about the FBI looking into the assassination attempt. I'll tell
you that and plenty more of what Donald Trump told
the media at mar al Lago that's going to be
coming up in the three o'clock hour and plenty more
tickets to give away, so stick around for that.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
My name is Emory Soger.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
This is my radio show, live on news radio eleven
ten KFAB
We'll get to Kamala Harris, Donald Trump, Trump taking questions
from reporters, something that Kamala Harris hasn't done since all
the Joe Biden stuff has gone down.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Well, we'll get to that. I don't want to start
with that.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I'll talk about Donald Trump talking about the FBI and
its investigation into the assassination is hit because we know
so many people think the FBI is part of the
plot potentially to go after him or everyone. And you know,
I'm just gonna hear what Trump has to say. I'll
tell you what he said and all that jazz. It's
a Thursday, thirsty Thursday, right, I'm at I'm into Moin
(00:37):
for the Iowa State Fair.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Can you tell? Can you? Can you tell?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Very slightly? The audio sounds really good. You definitely sound
like you're in a nice studio. It's not one of
those remotes, you know, where you can hear the wind
and you know what I mean. You sound very crisp.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah, well, I'm not actually on the fair grounds, for
whatever it's worth, I am in a nice studio, So
goodyear from you on that.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah, what are you drinking today?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Man?
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Like?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Uh, you know, I usually you're You're pretty boring when
it comes to this sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
No disrespect, but you know.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
What do you think I got myself right here? You know,
I've been on a kick and energy drink kick lately,
and I'm a big energy drink person, so see, I
used to be a coffee guy all the way. But
I got myself. It's a monster, ultra fantasy.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Ruby Red. Now that's a name right there. I don't
even know what that is.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I don't either. It tasted like kind of like cherry.
Oh yeah, would you have it again?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Yeah, Okay, I'm drinking h two. Oh, I'm the boring
one today, you know, scrambling around. I'm gonna be so
unhealthy for the next eleven days. I mean, it's just
a reality of the situation that I'm in right now.
I wanted to talk to you about something that is
somewhat interesting first though, and we'll get to more politics.
(01:56):
If you're listening for politics, we'll get to that in
a second. However, are you familiar with CrossFit?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I heard about it.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Have you done CrossFit before? I don't think so. I
feel like i'd know if I have. I don't think
I have.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
What do you mean you don't know. If you like,
how does one not know? I mean, I've done a
lot of workouts. Maybe it's slipped in.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You know, you accidentally did CrossFit. That's not how CrossFit works.
Take my georts to the gym, start working out. All
of a sudden, somebody's like, hey, you're doing CrossFit too. Yeah,
that's not how it works. You have to go to
a class.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Okay. It's like, could one do yoga by themselves, maybe
stumble into some yoga.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, you're just like doing yoga by yourself. I thought
I was stretching, turned out I was doing yoga yoga.
I don't know, right, like that, you have to go
to a CrossFit class to get rote workouts programmed for
you or whatever. Anyway, CrossFit, did you know that it's
a spectator sport as well. Oh like the CrossFit games.
My wife is big in the CrossFit. I've done CrossFit before.
(02:53):
I'm not currently doing CrossFit. It's not for everybody, but
it's a great way to get some high intensity workouts
and it's a good community that you can get into.
Right most cities have a CrossFit gym that you can join,
and the CrossFit Games are going on now. It's kind
of like everybody who does CrossFit could do this, but
they do like regionals and all this stuff is like
(03:14):
put in online and you have to film it in
a certain way and then they take the top scores
and you advance to certain rounds. And then in Madison, Wisconsin,
they do what they call the CrossFit Games, which is
basically a series of workouts two or three per day
that they you're able to do, and they're a variety
of different kind of activities that give you like different
they work out different parts of your body. It's all
(03:36):
very high intensity, but it's also working out different parts
of your body. Right, Yeah, the Crossfait Game started today
and part of one of the events today was a swim.
You know, it was a run and swim, and you know,
weightlifting is also mostly included in the CrossFit but I'm
not exactly sure what this workout was. But Individual event
one of the CrossFit Games today. A couple hours ago,
(03:59):
there was a post by the cross Fit Games Facebook page,
and I'm just going to quote this CrossFit is deeply
saddened by the death of a CrossFit Games competitor during
the swimming portion of Individual event one at the twenty
twenty four CrossFit Games. We are fully cooperating with authorities
and doing everything we can to support the family. At
this time, the remainder of today's events have been suspended.
The well being of competitors is our first priority, and
(04:19):
we are heartbroken by this tragic event. You hear something
like that matt end quote. By the way, you hear
something like that, what's the first thought that you have
in your head? What's your first reaction?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Well, it's a rough one. You wonder how it happened.
How is there not somebody there to see it?
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Well, there are a few different things here. Okay, so
this is actually not in Madison, Wisconsin this year. It's
down in Texas around the Fort Worth area.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
There was a guy.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
The guy's name is Lazarre Dukitch is his name. He's
a twenty eight year old and they live stream these
events so you can watch them, right, and he was
apparently toward the front of the pack.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
He is a former w polo player. Again, this was swimming.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
He's had a ton of water safety courses and stuff,
which tells you you just can't take this kind of
thing for granted. But apparently he vanished near the end
of the eight hundred meters swim in this lake, and
it was about eight am this morning our time, and
two hours later they were able to find him, unfortunately,
obviously way too late. He's a Serbian, he's from Serbia,
(05:28):
and I don't know there's there's very minimal details at
this point, but many people saw, you know, they could
see him vanishing right like he's there, and then he
wasn't there. But he wasn't wearing like it's CrossFit right,
Like he's not wearing a super bright like swimming cap
or anything. He's just swimming. It's just like a dude
(05:50):
in the lake swimming. So it wasn't super noticeable immediately.
I think that he was gone. Now again, there's no
information at the time, what like they didn't notice across
the finish line. There weren't enough, like a lot of
people are speculating, there's just not enough officials out there
on the lake to be monitoring these people.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It wasn't easy to see.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Once he got out there, they just noticed that he
didn't come back, and nobody really knew where he was
because he didn't have anything bright on. And they're saying,
even though we had all this swim experience. You know,
there's no way to know exactly what may have happened
to him. It could have been like a cardiac event.
It's in the middle of a workout. You never know
these things, right, right? Can they complete? Do you think
this event goes on because it's supposed to go through Sunday?
(06:32):
Do you think they keep doing the CrossFit Games? There
are tons of people, thousands of people that go in
to watch this as a spectator sport. Obviously a ton
of athletes from around the world are here to compete.
One of their fellow competitors has passed away doing the event.
What could they could they possibly do that?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
That's a tough one. I feel like you probably don't.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I don't know how you can either, actually, Like, especially
when you're talking about this, being like how can you
ever book a swimming event?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Again?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Like swimming isn't necessary? Like don't you don't go to
acrossfit class in Omaha. They don't have a swimming pool
there that you just go swim in as part of
a workout. You don't go jump in a lake and
swim as part of a workout there. Maybe on a
special occasion they might do something like that, but I've
never been a part of something like that.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I don't think my wife has either.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
But this is a guy that has swimming experience and
a former player of water polo, which you need to
be a strong swimmer to be able to do that.
I don't think the swimming part of this was the issue.
I think them not being able to notice that he
was gone and that something happened to him was a
bigger issue.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Am I wrong for thinking on those lines? No, that
makes sense. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
It's sad though, I mean it's definitely sad, and CrossFit
is a kind of high intensity thing. I'm honestly a
little bit surprised that they haven't had a major injury
or something like that in years past, just not that
CrossFit is that it's not killing people, right, but it
is high intensity and there are people of all ages
that are taking part, and they have a bunch of
different age brackets at part of these CrossFit games, and
(08:08):
you're doing multiple workouts today. I'm just surprised there hasn't
been more legitimate, Like there are people that get, you know,
dinged up or hurt, just like any other sport, but
man death is a different conversation. It'll be interesting to
see what kind of spotlight is put on the CrossFit
games and how their operations like are working. If this
is something that truly is happening, and not that it's
(08:29):
happened once ever, but the fact that happened today is
pretty stark and crazy. One more sports related story I'm
going to get to you next, and that has to
do with the fastest man in the world, the one
hundred meter dash winner Noah Lyles from the United States
of America, won an incredible race, the closest one hundred
meter dash ever. Well, he took part in the two
hundred meter final, which happened earlier today, not that long
(08:49):
ago in fact, and I will tell you what the
results were of that and a bigger story potentially that's
coming out after that race. We'll do that and tak
Kamala Harrison Donald Trump next on new Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Emery Sungner on news Radio eleven ten KFAB.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You're familiar with Noah Lyles, I sure, am, yeah, yeah.
He won the one hundred meter dash at the Olympics
a few days ago.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
He's that's the race.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
People are like, you're the fastest man in the world
if you win that. He's a big talker. He's the
guy who famously said last year after he won the
world championship in the one hundred at the Track and
Field Championships, not the Olympics, the FOEBA World Championships were
going on for men's basketball and the United States lost
in the semi finals and didn't medal, and he basically said,
(09:39):
all these teams in you know, North America, like the NBA,
they're saying they're the world champions, the world champion of
what the United States? I mean, it's a classic quote.
It's great stuff, but there. I mean, he's a he's
a big time talker. And he backed it up winning
the closest one hundred meter dash ever, winning right at
the line. It was an incredible race, and he he's
(10:00):
actually more of a two hundred meter runner. It has
been one of the best in the world at the
two hundred as well, and he won. He ran that
just oh less than an hour ago. Is it okay
for me to spoil?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
This means?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Right? I mean, like it's a sporting event. If you've
dvrd it, you're going to see it on social media.
It may even be popping up here in our newscast.
I'm going to tell you so, if you're not trying
to know the results of the two hundred meter dash
the Olympics that happened in the last hour or so,
plug your ears and say la la la la for
about ten seconds.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
All right? Am I good? You think? I think so?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Noah Asles lost. He finished third. He was more favored
in this race than he was the one hundred, and
he lost. He finished third. Let's seal, Let's seal. Tobogo
from Botswana won the two hundred. It's the first gold
medal ever for Botswana. Silver goes to Kenny Bednarek, another American.
(10:56):
He actually ran his track and field in college at
Indian Hills com Unity College, which is in my hometown
of Tumble, Iowa.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
How cool is that?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
So a guy from you know, who's got a history
in my hometown finished second, won the silver. No Alliles
finished third. I bring this up as soon as he finishes.
Noelliles goes down to a knee having trouble breathing. Now
he famously also has asthma. Now it doesn't seem like
it bothers him all that much. All the time. But
(11:25):
you know, he finishes third and he goes to a knee,
and you know, you're wondering what the heck's going on.
Roughly fifteen minutes after that, reports came out and were
confirmed by United States Track and Field that Noah Lyles
ran the race while being diagnosed with COVID nineteen. Wow,
he ran the race while being diagnosed with COVID. He
threw a mask on and was wheeled in a wheelchair
(11:49):
off the.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Track, but he didn't run with the mask on. He
did not.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
There are several ways we can go about talking about this.
I think I want to start, first of all with
remember just three years ago that if you tested positive
for COVID nineteen, especially if you're in the Olympics, you
were basically sent home like they would they would what's
the word sequester, that you had to go in hibernation,
in hiding. What's the word quarantine. That's quarantine. Yeah, you
(12:15):
had a quarantine for like what two weeks or something
five days. They kept messing with the timeline, but you
couldn't compete. You couldn't even like get out out of
your Olympic village room. Remember that they wanted to everybody
to be in a bubble so the COVID wouldn't get
in there, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
What I mean.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Yeah, you had to sign a cannot compete clause.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Something like that. I think that's for a different thing.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
But I bring this up also because not only did
he do that, but he's dapping people up and all
this stuff, and he knowingly had COVID nineteen. Now again,
I think we all can agree at this stage of
the game that COVID nineteen is being treated more like
a common cold these days than it is anything else.
Am I wrong for saying that? Is that an earsonle
(13:00):
thing to say in twenty twenty four?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Well, maybe I don't know. I was maybe more like
the flu, the common flu.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, maybe that. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Like I asked this a couple of weeks ago. I think,
when's the last time you tested for COVID nineteen.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Oh man, I'd have to go back.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
It's a way while back, right, Like, people aren't just
like COVID testing themselves whenever they get a sniffle these
days like we did in twenty twenty right.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I think it was January of twenty twenty three for me. Okay,
I think I'm even way before that. I think I
went on a vacation in twenty twenty two, I had
to get an airplane, and I tested before that. I
think I never once tested positive for COVID, for whatever
that's worth. But it's like, if you got diagnosed with
COVID nineteen, that was the end. You couldn't travel, you
(13:45):
couldn't get on the plane. They made you wear the mask.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
What made that? Like?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
What's so different? Now he knew he had it. They
were able to confirm that he ran with COVID nineteen
here literally minutes after he finished his third Are we
okay with this?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I could see the other athletes, you know, if they
come down with it and it affects the rest of
their games. I could see them being upset. But some
of these guys might have some relays still to run.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but still, dude, Like, just the idea
that he's got COVID nineteen. Now it's the gold medal
rays for the favorite in this event.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I don't want it. I'm not wishing that on anyone.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
And let's be honest, there's probably plenty of people who
probably had COVID or something pretty similar bronchitis. Or something
and battle through and go to work with some regularity.
Am I wrong to say that?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Now?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I still think there are people like that, aren't there? Oh?
For sure?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I didn't come to work with hand, foot and mouth,
but it was pretty obvious I had it, you know,
like you can visually tell that I had that.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Well, and you go to work with hand foot and mouth.
Who wouldn't be able to understand you? You know, you
with your hands and your feet in your mouth the
whole time.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
That's not how that works.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Oh no, No, I just had a bunch of spots
and blister looking things on my hands and some canker
swors in my mouth. Yeah, no, it sucked. It was terrible,
but you could obviously tell I was. Well, there are
people that are probably carrying around bronchitis or tonsilitis or
a sinus infection or all that stuff, and you can't tell, right,
So there was no way to know here. If he
wins the gold medal, do we find out he's COVID positive?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Hmm? Does he get taken off in a wheelchair?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
M You know what I'm saying. There's another angle to this,
There's another layer of this US Track and Field said it.
I'm not saying that this is a liar of fake
I really think that he probably has it. I don't
know how I feel about him still running this race
with this virus that we were told just three short
years ago in the same event that it was literally okay,
you can't be seen again at these games, don't be
(15:37):
around anybody. Yet here he is dapping people up before
and after the race, before he goes to a knee
and needs to be wheeled off in a wheelchair with
a mask on his face. And then immediately after that
US Track and Fields like, oh, yeah, by the way,
he's got COVID.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
So what I haven't seen the video, but you're saying
he was like high five in people.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I think, like, it's hard to tell who's high five
and who. I don't have all of the angles. Somebody
to stage left like rolls in a wheelchair and it's like, hey, well, okay,
so what happens is and this is the best I
can tell. I'm not one hundred percent sure how many
guys like he high fived or anything because people are
trying to high five him. He's, you know, one of
the best runners in the world. But he finishes the race,
kind of goes to it and even lays on his back.
(16:16):
It looks really tired. This looks like he's spent, right,
And I've already prefaced this. He famously has asthma, and
you're telling me that he also has, you know, a
COVID nineteen, which we found out after the fact. But again,
this is a guy that talks as much crap as
anybody in sports today around the world.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
He is incredibly good at what he does. But he lost.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
And then now they like slowly like after they there
was they checked on him and then they had a
wheelchair come and pick him up, and they put a
mask on his face and then got wheeled out of
the track.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
What do you think it would have been cool if
you gotten gold, because then we could say, Noah Lyles
defeated COVID.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
It's over, it doesn't exist anymore. Okay, hold on, we'll
take a break. We'll come back.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
They just posted a minute and a half long interview
about him talking about what happened. They got interview him now,
so I'll play that for you next. This is some
wild stuff at the Olympics, saying we'll talk about Trump
Kamala Harris, the campaign trailer and what Trump said when
he was actulearly taking questions from actual reporters, something Kamala
Harris has yet to do. That's coming up next on
(17:14):
news Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Em Arey's songer Sharmick with someone You Love on news
Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Matt, we were talking about Noah Lyles and the two
hundred meter dash or two hundred meters run or whatever
you want to call it at the Olympics. I was
watching the beginning of the race. He's I can't see
him really dapping people up, but he's jumping around like
a maniac to get himself hyped up, you know what
I mean, and hyping the crowd up and everything, you know,
being the big personality that he is. If you missed it,
(17:45):
he runs the two hundred meters, he was the favorite.
He's an American guy. He won the one hundred meters.
He finishes the race third, loses to a guy from
Botswana who wons the gold medal, first gold medal ever
for Botswana, and then fellow American Kenny benn Erik, who
has a history running at Indian Hills Community College, in
my hometown of at Tumble, Iowa. He finished second and
won the silver. I uh, I don't know, man, I'm
(18:08):
looking at this and he's going crazy. After the race,
he kind of goes down to a knee and then
like takes a bunch of deep breass. He gets wheeled
off in a wheelchair, puts a mask on his face,
and then we find out ten minutes later he has
been diagnosed with COVID nineteen ahead of this race, well
right on time.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
They did an interview.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Lewis Johnson from NBC in the American broadcast found no
Alliles wearing an N ninety five mask on his face
track side and did an interview, and here is No
Alliles speaking with NBC's Lewis Johnson after this race to
try to clarify it was.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Unfortunately situations to see you there. I reported that you
tested positive for COVID two days ago. What was your
reaction to that diagnosis, Expecies, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I woke up early about five am on Tuesday morning,
and expeci me, I just it was feeling really horrible then,
and I knew it was more than just being sore
from one hundred, you know. Woke up the doctors and
we tested and unfortunately it came.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Up that I was positive for COVID.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
You know, my first thought was not to panic, you know,
thinking you know, I've been in worse situations and I've
run with you know, worse conditions I felt. And we
just took it day by day, trying to hydrate as much,
quarantined off. And I definitely say that it's taking its
toll for sure. But I've never been more proud of
myself for being able to come out here and getting
(19:26):
a bronze medal. Where last Olympic I was very disappointed.
In this time, I couldn't been more proud.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Did you ever consider not running the two hundred final?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
No, No, I did it. I just said we were
just gonna try and quarantine as much as possible, stay away,
not trying to you know, pass it off, and then
just to be honest and give it my all.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
If I wasn't to make it, then.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Somebody would have definitely taken my spot, and that would
have been my sign that I, you know, didn't deserve
to be in the final.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Okay, now, how does this diagnosis affect your potential availability
for the fool I wanted to be the relay with
Team USA.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, at the moment, I don't know. I'm I'm feeling
more on the side.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Of, you know, letting t Musa do their thing and
now they've proven what great certainty that they can handle
it without me, And if if that's the case we're
coming off today, then I'm perfectly fine saying.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Hey, you guys, go do your thing.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Do you guys have more than enough speed to be
able to handle it and get the gold medal?
Speaker 5 (20:22):
Noah, thank you for stopping by to explain it to everyone,
and we sure.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Hope you feel better, all right, Thank you?
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Lewis.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
What do you think.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Matt's I mean, it's it's interesting, isn't it. Imagine if
this was a couple of years ago, he'd probably be
banned from the sport forever.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, don't you think you.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Know what they should have done? They should have n't
had him run in one of those hamster wheels, just
to play it safe. Oh, like the little ball like
your ball, and that would have been cool.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I don't know how that would have gone. What do
you think, I I it's COVID. COVID's been over right, Well,
what's different? About COVID now than it was three years ago, right, Like,
he tested positive two days ago and then they still
let him run and didn't tell anybody until after he lost.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
And you know, and somebody might say, oh, there's less
cases of it. How do you know, we don't really
hear that reported on anymore.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
No, But and that's the thing. Nobody's monitoring that sort
of thing.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Even if the fact that he tested positive on Tuesday,
that stuff would have immediately immediately come out as news
as soon as it happened.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah, right, like they right, yeah, Like nowadays they were.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Able to keep like one of the most high profile
Olympians for United for the United States of America, all
of a sudden he gets sick, he gests positive for
COVID nineteen quarantines, and nobody picks up on it until
after he loses. And if he wins, if he wins
the gold medal, does this happen at all? Does he
get wheeled off? Does he say he ran with COVID nineteen,
any of that happened. And I'm not trying to say
(21:47):
Noell Ayles is you know, one of those guys, But
I get the vibe that you know, anybody who's a
big trash talker. Whenever they don't win, there's some level
of excuse. I'm not saying he's not sick. I'm not
saying he doesn't really have COVID nineteen. I'm just saying
it's interesting how all of this came out after the fact,
that nothing was reported before the fact. And if it
was reported before the fact, would they have prevented him
(22:08):
from running? Did they keep that information out of the
public eye so he could run? Is that not an
ethical violation of some kind? If you were me tested
positive for COVID nineteen two days ago and we showed
up to work and people found out about it, don't
you think we would have gotten.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
In some trouble.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Depends on the workplace these days.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
But you know, ah, he's shown up to work sick though, Right, Yeah,
technically we were told by many people, many people in
high places, for many months, years even, that you really
need five days away from everyone before this has worked
its way through your system. Otherwise you are very contagious.
(22:47):
Right yeah, Well.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
What's different now? What's different now? Time? I hate this.
I hate this.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Somebody needs to rectroactively go back and tell us as
human beings Okay, we definitely mess that whole code thing up.
But you know what, it's okay because we'll get it
right the next time that there's a worldwide pandemic that
you have to go through. We won't though, of course
we won't. That's the sarcasm of it.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Geez.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
We went through this one hundred years ago. We have
the history of books filled with what happens. It cycles
its way through, and then it's done. People act like
this was a new normal all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah, well it was a new normal for long enough,
and now it's just a guy got sick instead of
getting the flu. You know, Michael Jordan in the flu game,
remember that, Yeah, when really everybody's saying he got pizza
food poisoning. Some people were saying he was just hungover.
It really wasn't the flu at all. Well, everybody celebrated
that he did what he did. He scored like thirty
(23:44):
nine points in a huge NBA Finals game in Utah
in some altitude sick in nineteen ninety seven. Fast forward
twenty five years. I mean, you're a villain for trying
to overcome your illness and do your athletic event. I
don't know, it's just weird. It'll be interesting to see
how people reac this, not just the COVID part of this,
but the way that it was handled in Would it
(24:04):
have been handled the same? If he wins, that to
me is and do you buy that he's not running
the four by one hundred another chance to win a
gold medal.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
He says he's not going to do it. Well, he
said he don't. He doesn't know, but he's leaning on
the side of not doing it.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
I gotta get out that gotta get out that hamster ball,
you know, put put him in the plastic ball.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
How do they give him the baton in that situation?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Oh yeah, that's part of a that's a big part
of the relay.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Little like oh they could do like the bank thing,
you know, I don't know. I'm thinking. I'm thinking as we're.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Talking here, Yeah, I think you need to worksh up these. Yeah,
it's percolating though.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah, Well, if he misses the four by one hundred,
I'll believe that he's legitimately really sick still, because that's
like a guaranteed gold medal if he if he runs, like,
who would pass that up?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
He just got to run one hundred meters. Come on,
Who am I to say this?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Though? I could run one hundred meters right now, just
a lot slower than he can. It's two forty eight.
I got to get to some politics here. Kamala Harris
back on the campaign troll, not answering questions from reporters,
Donald Trump is I'll hit some of the highlights coming
up and we'll talk about that as well. By the way,
let's go ahead and do some tickets right now. Sugar
Ray coming to Omaha this Saturday. What do you think, Matt?
(25:13):
Fifty four, Yeah, fifty four, the fifty fourth caller, you
win a pair of tickets to see Sugar Ray. Call
four h two five five eight eleven ten. Four h
two five to five eight eleven ten. That's the phone
number we'll take. The fifty fourth caller wins a pair
of tickets to Sugar Ray in Omaha this Saturday. Matt,
I'll get you the details when you call and win
right here on news radio eleven ten.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Kfab Emery Songer on news Radio eleven ten.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Kfab got some things that Donald Trump said to the
press today. He did take questions down there in mar Alago.
We talked about debates and what the likelihood of debates are.
And we now know that there are three debates that
are agreed to by Donald Trump according to him, and
with Fox, ABC and NBC September fourth with Fox, September tenth,
(25:59):
with ABC for twenty fifth with NBC. Now again, I
know all of these different places this, I don't know
what we're going to learn over three debates so closely together.
Those are, with three debates in a three week span.
I obviously think that debates are important, and he said
it's important to have debates as well, and that's fine.
(26:21):
We weren't quite sure if this was something that they
were going to be able to agree on now that
the rules likely are going to be changing a little
bit with Kamala Harris's involvement. I'll be honest, I thought
that the lack of an audience there, to me, I
liked it. I thought the moderators, even though I really
felt like Jake Tapper and Dana Bash were going to
be very skewed and protect Joe Biden in the see
(26:44):
and in debate, they did not.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
They did not.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Did Joe Biden crashed and burned right in front of
our eyes, And they didn't really do a whole lot
to stop. It didn't really interrupt anybody, didn't, you know,
do anything weird? The MIC's being cut off after each answer,
and nobody could really interrupt each other. I thought all
of that made a lot of sense, and I thought
it was a debate that we could learn a lot,
even if we didn't actually learn a lot except that
(27:06):
Joe Biden can't stand up in the same place for
ninety minutes and be coherent. A big part of me
really hopes that if we're doing three debates, we can
just do these debates and it doesn't have to be
a circus every single time. Just different moderators asking different questions,
different angles, and we learn as much as we can
about the two candidates and what they stand for. No
(27:27):
word on a potential vice presidential debate, but speaking of
vice president, Donald Trump praised jd Vance and said he's
really stepped up and is doing a fantastic job. I
don't you know, I think at this point he's got
to lean in and say that he's doing a good time,
some really good work, even if I'm a bit skeptical
as to how much jd Vance is actually helping Donald
(27:48):
Trump at all.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
With his electability.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I think if anything, he and some of the stuff
that people are attributing him saying is hurting the campaign
if anything, right now that could level out after this
initial excitement and enthusiasm for a brand new ticket on
the Democratic side. Is that starts to you know, like
settle a little bit. That's the kind of thing to
me that you know you're going to have to keep
(28:11):
an eye on. Is it can Jdvans kind of grow
into a role as being a good JD Vance and
not just a Donald Trump understudy. Also, Donald Trump said
he believed abortions become much less of an issue because
again he said abortion and exceptions of instances of rape
insis in the life of the mother.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
That is the only time that abortion should be allowed.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
But he also said states should have the right to
make their own rules about it.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
He said that over and over again.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
So it'll be interesting to see if the American public
actually pay attention this time. What does he say though
about the FBI looking into the assassination attempt. I'll tell
you that and plenty more of what Donald Trump told
the media at mar al Lago that's going to be
coming up in the three o'clock hour and plenty more
tickets to give away, so stick around for that.
