Speaker 1 (00:00):
You just never know.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
You'll never know when I'm actually going to be doing this.
So on Facebook you can find Nebraska Balloon and Wine Festival.
You can find it. They do the Hot Air Balloon Glow.
There is a launch that they did last year. I'm sure,
assuming Mother Nature cooperates, will be able to do that
Friday and or Saturday as well. There's nothing quite like
seeing hot air balloons live and in person. I am
telling you that right now. This is coming from a
(00:22):
guy who spent literally a week's worth of vacation saying
in indian Ola, Iowa, of all places, so I could
help be a part of the National Balloon Classic.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Okay, so you've.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Got balloons there, I'm in. And they also have so
many cool things with the food and the wine. Like
we were talking about with the little Swan Lake Winery there,
it's pretty cool that they have the buffalo and the
Buffalo meat incorporated to that as well. Big thanks to
Scott Benjamin once again for joining us on that. Matt
Before I go too far here, did you see I
don't know how many NASCAR fans I got in the house,
(00:53):
but you've watched NASCAR before, right?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yep, there was a big hulla balloo about the race
at Richmond this past Sunday when Austin Dillon he's had
a terrible season.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
He's thirty second in points.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Current race format is basically, if you want to make
the playoffs, which yes, NASCAR does playoffs these days, you
have to win a race if you're outside the top
sixteen of the points to get into the playoffs. And
Austin Dillon seemingly intentionally wrecked two guys Joey Logano and
Denny Hamlin, two guys that many people do not like,
and wrecked both of those guys and won the race,
(01:23):
and NASCAR has not penalized him for it. And people
are saying that cross the line people will get hurt,
and that's just going to have people wrecking each other
all over the place for the rest of the year.
More or less likely to watch NASCAR with guys wrecking
each other for the win all the time.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Hmmm, I don't like it, but I'm more likely to watch.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I think that's kind of where I am too. Your
car wasn't fast enough in the end of the day,
he was going to win the race, By the way,
just a preface this, I watched the race, and Austin
Dillon was going to win the race, but there was
a late caution that basically, you know will accordion the
field back up for the restart, and he didn't get
the best restart. He had a better car when they
were in green flag runs. It's a green white checker,
(02:01):
finished only two laps at a very small short track,
and basically he didn't get a good enough restart. He
was behind Joey Logano, got contact with him, wrecked him,
and then wrecked Denny Hamlin as he was trying to
come around him as he slowed down for the wreck
in front of him, and he's in the playoffs now.
To me, every time that twenty two car of Logano
or the eleven of Denny Hamlin get around Austin Dillon's
(02:21):
car for the rest of the year, aren't you interested
and see what's going to happen? Yeah, Like I'm kind
of there too. Isn't that good for NASCAR at the
end of the day. Is it better for NASCAR to
play WWE rules where it's just like you have no idea, unpredictable,
you have no idea what's going to happen, versus it
just being like a clean and rule oriented racing product
and the best car wins. I just want to kind
(02:43):
of see some fights on Pitt Round every once in
a while, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah, you know, make it more like Talladega Knights and
I will be more often likely to watch.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, versus you know, watching Formula One, which a lot
of people do these days thanks to the Netflix show
Drive to Survive, which is incredibly popular. It's made the
sport incredibly pops people in the United States when it
really wasn't for a lot of years. Now they're doing
three Grand Prix in America alone, in Vegas, Austin, and Miami.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I don't know there's enough of a fan base to
it that maybe I'm completely discounted, but those races are
the most boring things in the world to watch. Those
guys can't get anywhere near each other on the track.
They're passing is all, you know. It's very aerodynamic and
a lot of engineering. The driver apparently has some control,
but you really need the best car and the same guy.
Max Verstappen seems to have the best car over and
(03:31):
over and over again. It's like he wins every single race.
I'm not wasting like three hours of my time watching
this stuff when I know exactly what's gonna happen in NASCAR,
especially in the Cup Series. Now, anytime Austin Dylan is
anywhere near those two guys or maybe other people too,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I can't I can't wait to see what they do
to each other.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
This is Nascar. Robin is racing, Matt Robbin is racing.
That's what I say. I can't wait to maybe get
some of those phone calls the NASCAR purists out there
that are saying, hey man, as if Arnhardt never did
this in his heyday, it's four twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I'll come back. I got some audio that Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
He did an interview back in the early eighties when
he was asked about the likelihood that he'll ever run
for president. I mean, this is thirty something years before
he actually did in earnest and it's a fascinating listen,
especially considering where we are today. I will play the
audio for you and get your thoughts. Next on news
Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Emrie Songer on news Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Nope, I need dead silence for what I'm about to
ask you, and you have to answer. I have to yep,
no matter what you have to answer.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
What are you gonna what are you gonna ask me?
Can I can I at least pick a bed? Nope?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Here here, here's here's what. Okay, So this is a question.
What scenario?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
What thing would I have to do for you to
see me on a street and you to run me
over with your car?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Didn't see that one coming, did you?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I suppose I'm sort of relieved because who knows where
that was going.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
But I'll have to surprise you again with that sometime. No, seriously, okay, okay,
and just the thought to like go in your brain.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Here's my scene of running me over.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Right, We're in an episode of Fear Factor, and it's
the last challenge and whoever is replacing Joe Rogan in
this reboot of Fear Factor, let's say Andy Richter.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Oh come on, yeah, no, come on.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Andy Richter and his five brothers shout out to Arrest
of Development. They we have to we have to do
a challenge and you're on fire, but you're wearing like
a fireproof suit and I have to run you over
with a car to put the fire out. And that's
how we win a million dollars. Now, in that event,
under those controlled circumstances, I would lightly run you over
(05:55):
with my car and then back up and then do
it again and again to make sure that we win
that one million dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
First of all, the modern day fear factor host in
all likelihood would be like Rob Gronkowski.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
That's probably more of what we're looking at there.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I was thinking out loud and Andy Richter came out.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
So, yeah, that was a bad choice.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Secondly, I think the biggest price ever on fear fact
well like one hundred thousand dollars, So that's only ten
percent of the million dollars that you think that you
would win on fear factor. Third of all, who's the
physics expert that decided, Hey, the way we're going to
see how scared these guys are of each other in
this scenario is we're going to set a guy on fire,
(06:37):
and the only way you can be put out is
by getting run over by a vehicle.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, I don't think that's how it works.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Well, if I didn't have any other way and one
hundred thousand dollars was on the line.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
That was not what I was anticipating.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I was hoping you would say, you would have to
say this to me, or you would have to do
this to me, or you'd have to do this specifically
in this way.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Right to run me over? Yeah, run me over. Well,
this is why I say this.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
What do you think the biggest busiest traffic city in.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
America is in America? I've always heard that Los Angeles
has terrible traffic.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Los Angeles, I would say, is the correct answer. There's
a freeway called the four H five. It's the four
or five highway and freeway in West LA. All right,
this is a major, major traffic jam area all the time.
And earlier today, a few hours earlier today, protesters with
a group called if Not Now That's what It's called
block the four oh five freeway by just sitting on
(07:35):
the highway and blocking traffic until they were picked up
and arrested. They say they are calling for all elected
Democrats ahead of the Democratic National Convention next week to
call for a lasting cease fire in Gaza. Reject I
pack money and call for an arms embargo to Israel.
I have to ask another time, and this is just
(07:57):
me asking a simple and on question who in their
right mind is going to see these people blocking traffic
on the four H five in West Los Angeles understand
that they are blocking traffic on a busy freeway in
a major metropolitan area to call for a ceasefire in
(08:17):
a country we are not in for a war we
are not directly involved with because we support somebody who
has been a long time ally of our nation. And
how many of those people, when they figure that out,
will actually be like, you know what, that's actually a
pretty good idea.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I think I'm on those guys's side.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Let me get out of my car and jump in
on all this and join the sit in on the highway.
Who who? That's what I have to say. But my
question is who thinks this actually works? Who in Congress
he's going to see this and say, you know what,
they got a point, maybe we should do that way
to block that road, you protesters.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Now, I don't know how long they were there. I
have no idea.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
You know what the scenario is likely to be for
the people as they were arrested and carried off after
they you know, sandbagged or the officers that.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Came to detain them.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But what do you think Matt, is a thought going
to your mind if you're in the front of this line,
just to like weave your way through these people somehow.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
No, but I have seen videos of that and just
you know, put yourself in those shoes especially, so many
thoughts come to mind. I mean, you know, what if
someone I don't know, what if an ambulance gets caught
in traffic. I mean there's a lot of circumstances here,
and I, yeah, I'm with you. I don't see how
this what does his do but create anger and division
(09:33):
and more people who are never going to listen to
anything you have to say. It's the same thing for
me when I see people on Twitter like you were
talking about with the interview last night on x Yeah,
people on both sides just yelling at each other in
the comment section. Whose opinions are you changing? You know,
like give me a well thought out, articulate thought of
(09:54):
why you feel a certain way, but blocking traffic and
you know, and ruining my day. I suppose to draw awareness.
I just don't. I don't get the I don't know,
I don't get it. I don't get whose mind that's changing,
And I don't get how it's effective and I don't
really get what the overall point is.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Well, the point is they will feel better about themselves.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
This is all I have been saying this since the
beginning of these protests, especially earlier this year. We have
a scenario here with this Israel thing, six thousand miles
away something like that. Six seven thousand miles away from
where we are right now is where the action is
actually happening with this thing. Our government is one of
dozens of governments that have been actively supporting Israel as
(10:39):
far as what we're saying, the rhetoric we're using, and
the ability to help them with their resources, something allies
do and the only thing that has actually been gained.
I guess some of the colleges did bend and say,
we'll look at how we can divest from Israel in
some way, which I'm not sure is going to make
a darn bit of difference. And who flip in cares
(11:00):
with the University of Minnesota or Harvard and what their
you know, investment is in a foreign nation, right, Like,
did anybody even know.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
That was a thing before?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Do you think Israel's crying themselves to sleep that these
institutions of higher learning like aren't going to have legitimate
relations with the country of Israel moving forward. I mean,
give me a break. They do this because it makes
them feel like they've achieved something. They do this because
it makes them feel better about themselves. It's the same
reason why the people that were doing the same thing
at the College World Series marching around the grounds of
(11:31):
the College World Series in Omaha and June, they were
able just to like march around and they were talking
all sorts of like genocide and the killing of children
in Israel. They're they're the bad guys and all this stuff,
and no one cares, absolutely zero people care. But they
do it because it makes them feel better. And it's
hard to dis like. It's hard to describe, right, Like,
why do you go and volunteer doing anything else? It
(11:53):
makes you feel good as a person if you feel
like you're making an impact somewhere. Whether you're making a
huge impact or not, but I guess that is determinate,
but by the results of whatever you're doing. You know,
a lot of people volunteer on political hotlines, just trying
to make some phone calls or survey lines to get
information and all that stuff. It's not always gracious work.
You're not getting thrown in jail like some of these people.
But you know what you're doing, You're making yourself feel
(12:16):
like you've achieved something and something's good. How do you
rationalize that any other way than these people are doing
something that makes them feel better about themselves. That's the
only angle I can think of, Matt right, is that
there's no other answer except they want to make themselves
feel like they've accomplished something and achieve something.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah. I always there's a piece of me that always,
in a very cynical lane, wonders if it's a little
bit of the the motivation from a group like the
Westboro Baptist Church. They're looking for you to do something
you know, dumb and violent to them and make a
big media storm about it, Like you know what I mean?
(12:55):
I just yeah, And I'm obviously I'm fully in support
of people right to protests.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
As am I as am I, But how many protests
that have been done in this way have ever made
that big of a difference in the way they're trying
to make a difference what they are calling for? And
I say this, this is the quote for the people
who know what these people are doing. They are calling
for all elected Democrats ahead of the Democratic National Convention
next week to call for a lasting ceasefire in Gaza,
(13:23):
reject I PAC money, and call for in arms and
bargo to Israel. They're calling for this, yet the people
they're blocking on this major highway in Los Angeles are
people that have nothing to do with any of that,
nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
There are people that relate for their jobs.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
People's day completely ruined because a bunch of lunatics decided
that are going to block one of the major highways
because they want to feel good about themselves. I too,
am okay with you protesting. I'm okay with the idea
of having open conversations about things, but absolutely disrupting traffic
on one of the busiest highways in America to try
to make a point about something happening seven thousand miles
(13:56):
away that you know darn well you're not going to
make darn bit of difference right now about this just
makes me just want to I don't like these people,
and I don't like them because they have different viewpoints
than me. I don't like them because they are actively
trying to disrupt people's lives that are completely innocent in
the matter. And absolutely nobody who waited in that line
on the four or five today in Los Angeles is
(14:18):
going to be like, oh yeah, you want to know
something else. I really kind of like those protesters. I
think those are the good guys. Now let me go
home and figure out how I can order my Palestinian flag.
Nobody's doing that, zero people, not even Yogi Bear, not one,
not one Yogi Bear. Unbelievable that this is what people
(14:38):
are doing these days. I just don't understand. But alas
it's all about you want to talk about the chess.
You're playing political chess here. This is political checkers. This
is like you're just asking for somebody to run you
over so you get all the the martyrdom attention. Nobody's
gonna do that, and you're just gonna look like a
(14:58):
bunch of you know what. I don't want to say
the word so I don't get fired. I just cannot
believe that people are doing this anyway. You got thoughts
on a call in four, two, five, five, eight to
eleven ten, and it is four forty nine on news
radio eleven ten KFAB. They were the cheapest thing in
the vending machine here, which by the way charges you
ten additional sins every time you use a transaction for
a machine fee. Wow, I'm being taxed by the vending
(15:20):
machine in this building over here.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Does the machine even see that money though? That's robotist.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
The machine doesn't see it, but the guy that programs
the machine and is absolutely extorting us by charging like
one point seventy five for a small blag of guard deettos.
That guy you want to talk about nickel and diming,
I don't know. I'm not on the ERINDI mooin right now.
Theoretically I'm in Omaha. That guy needs to take a hike.
He is in the wrong industry. If you're trying to
get rich, stop like putting insane prices on this stupid
(15:48):
stuff that you put in these darn vending machines is insane.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Somebody had talked about the four h five blocking with
the protesters from earlier today and said, blocking the four
h five won't free Palestine, but it will ensure that
everyone hates your guts.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Now that that I can agree with. That's funny. Um,
it's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
What do you think, Matt if if I told you
that I would give you fifty bucks to run me over,
and we correlated this in like I tell you which
highway and I'll be standing on the side of the
highway and then I like can see which car is yours,
and then you slow up just enough to where it
makes it look like you weren't trying to hit me.
But then like we have to make it look like
(16:27):
you hit me, and then maybe we can get people
on board supporting you know, the cause, and then you
can like do a complete change and be like, I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to hit this guy. I didn't know
he was standing in the road to protest. I'm actually
on his side. Now would that support? Like do you
think that would change? That's Is that the strategy they
should have employed here?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Can I use a snowplow.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
To hit me with?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Why?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
And why do I only get fifty bucks?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I guess that's negotiable. It depends on how hard you're
willing to hit me. I don't want to do any
of this, just for the record, telling you that this
if you wanted to, If these protesters wanted to make
this a legitimate protest and win people over, one of
them probably needed to get hit by a car. And
I'm just saying, why can't we like fix who's getting
(17:14):
hit by a car.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
And how Oh so it's like protesting professional wrestling kind of.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
But then you know, like you're you're manipulating what the
general public sees and maybe how they feel about it
to get people to agree with your side. But again,
I have to tell you, it's not about agreeing with
their side here. They just want to feel like they
did something today.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
So I hate these people, and maybe I do wish
that one of them would have gotten accidentally hit.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
By a car.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
At least they're gotting exercise.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah, until they sat down and pretended like they were
a dead fish waiting for, you know, one of these
officers to.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Arrest them, and they sandbagged them.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Anyway, Donald Trump about forty years ago had something to
say about being in politics. I'll explain what that means
next on news radio eleven to ten kfab
You just never know.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
You'll never know when I'm actually going to be doing this.
So on Facebook you can find Nebraska Balloon and Wine Festival.
You can find it. They do the Hot Air Balloon Glow.
There is a launch that they did last year. I'm sure,
assuming Mother Nature cooperates, will be able to do that
Friday and or Saturday as well. There's nothing quite like
seeing hot air balloons live and in person. I am
telling you that right now. This is coming from a
(00:22):
guy who spent literally a week's worth of vacation saying
in indian Ola, Iowa, of all places, so I could
help be a part of the National Balloon Classic.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Okay, so you've.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Got balloons there, I'm in. And they also have so
many cool things with the food and the wine. Like
we were talking about with the little Swan Lake Winery there,
it's pretty cool that they have the buffalo and the
Buffalo meat incorporated to that as well. Big thanks to
Scott Benjamin once again for joining us on that. Matt
Before I go too far here, did you see I
don't know how many NASCAR fans I got in the house,
(00:53):
but you've watched NASCAR before, right?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yep, there was a big hulla balloo about the race

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Hmmm, I don't like it, but I'm more likely to watch.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I think that's kind of where I am too. Your
car wasn't fast enough in the end of the day,
he was going to win the race, By the way,
just a preface this, I watched the race, and Austin
Dillon was going to win the race, but there was
a late caution that basically, you know will accordion the

play WWE rules where it's just like you have no idea, unpredictable,
you have no idea what's going to happen, versus it
just being like a clean and rule oriented racing product
and the best car wins. I just want to kind
(02:43):
of see some fights on Pitt Round every once in
a while, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah, you know, make it more like Talladega Knights and
I will be more often likely to watch.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, versus you know, watching Formula One, which a lot
of people do these days thanks to the Netflix show
Drive to Survive, which is incredibly popular. It's made the
sport incredibly pops people in the United States when it
really wasn't for a lot of years. Now they're doing
three Grand Prix in America alone, in Vegas, Austin, and Miami.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I don't know there's enough of a fan base to
it that maybe I'm completely discounted, but those races are
the most boring things in the world to watch. Those
guys can't get anywhere near each other on the track.
They're passing is all, you know. It's very aerodynamic and
a lot of engineering. The driver apparently has some control,
but you really need the best car and the same guy.
Max Verstappen seems to have the best car over and
(03:31):
over and over again. It's like he wins every single race.
I'm not wasting like three hours of my time watching
this stuff when I know exactly what's gonna happen in NASCAR,
especially in the Cup Series. Now, anytime Austin Dylan is
anywhere near those two guys or maybe other people too,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I can't I can't wait to see what they do
to each other.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
This is Nascar. Robin is racing, Matt Robbin is racing.
That's what I say. I can't wait to maybe get
some of those phone calls the NASCAR purists out there
that are saying, hey man, as if Arnhardt never did
this in his heyday, it's four twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I'll come back. I got some audio that Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
He did an interview back in the early eighties when
he was asked about the likelihood that he'll ever run
for president. I mean, this is thirty something years before
he actually did in earnest and it's a fascinating listen,
especially considering where we are today. I will play the
audio for you and get your thoughts. Next on news
Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Emrie Songer on news Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Nope, I need dead silence for what I'm about to
ask you, and you have to answer. I have to yep,
no matter what you have to answer.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
What are you gonna what are you gonna ask me?
Can I can I at least pick a bed? Nope?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Here here, here's here's what. Okay, So this is a question.
What scenario?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
What thing would I have to do for you to
see me on a street and you to run me
over with your car?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Didn't see that one coming, did you?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I suppose I'm sort of relieved because who knows where
that was going.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
But I'll have to surprise you again with that sometime. No, seriously, okay, okay,
and just the thought to like go in your brain.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Here's my scene of running me over.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Right, We're in an episode of Fear Factor, and it's
the last challenge and whoever is replacing Joe Rogan in
this reboot of Fear Factor, let's say Andy Richter.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Oh come on, yeah, no, come on.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Andy Richter and his five brothers shout out to Arrest
of Development. They we have to we have to do
a challenge and you're on fire, but you're wearing like
a fireproof suit and I have to run you over
with a car to put the fire out. And that's
how we win a million dollars. Now, in that event,
under those controlled circumstances, I would lightly run you over
(05:55):
with my car and then back up and then do
it again and again to make sure that we win
that one million dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
First of all, the modern day fear factor host in
all likelihood would be like Rob Gronkowski.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
That's probably more of what we're looking at there.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I was thinking out loud and Andy Richter came out.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
So, yeah, that was a bad choice.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Secondly, I think the biggest price ever on fear fact
well like one hundred thousand dollars, So that's only ten
percent of the million dollars that you think that you
would win on fear factor. Third of all, who's the
physics expert that decided, Hey, the way we're going to
see how scared these guys are of each other in
this scenario is we're going to set a guy on fire,
(06:37):
and the only way you can be put out is
by getting run over by a vehicle.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, I don't think that's how it works.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Well, if I didn't have any other way and one
hundred thousand dollars was on the line.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
That was not what I was anticipating.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I was hoping you would say, you would have to
say this to me, or you would have to do
this to me, or you'd have to do this specifically
in this way.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Right to run me over? Yeah, run me over. Well,
this is why I say this.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
What do you think the biggest busiest traffic city in.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
America is in America? I've always heard that Los Angeles
has terrible traffic.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Los Angeles, I would say, is the correct answer. There's
a freeway called the four H five. It's the four
or five highway and freeway in West LA. All right,
this is a major, major traffic jam area all the time.
And earlier today, a few hours earlier today, protesters with
a group called if Not Now That's what It's called
block the four oh five freeway by just sitting on
(07:35):
the highway and blocking traffic until they were picked up
and arrested. They say they are calling for all elected
Democrats ahead of the Democratic National Convention next week to
call for a lasting cease fire in Gaza. Reject I
pack money and call for an arms embargo to Israel.
I have to ask another time, and this is just
(07:57):
me asking a simple and on question who in their
right mind is going to see these people blocking traffic
on the four H five in West Los Angeles understand
that they are blocking traffic on a busy freeway in
a major metropolitan area to call for a ceasefire in
(08:17):
a country we are not in for a war we
are not directly involved with because we support somebody who
has been a long time ally of our nation. And
how many of those people, when they figure that out,
will actually be like, you know what, that's actually a
pretty good idea.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I think I'm on those guys's side.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Let me get out of my car and jump in
on all this and join the sit in on the highway.
Who who? That's what I have to say. But my
question is who thinks this actually works? Who in Congress
he's going to see this and say, you know what,
they got a point, maybe we should do that way
to block that road, you protesters.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Now, I don't know how long they were there. I
have no idea.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
You know what the scenario is likely to be for
the people as they were arrested and carried off after
they you know, sandbagged or the officers that.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Came to detain them.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But what do you think Matt, is a thought going
to your mind if you're in the front of this line,
just to like weave your way through these people somehow.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
No, but I have seen videos of that and just
you know, put yourself in those shoes especially, so many
thoughts come to mind. I mean, you know, what if
someone I don't know, what if an ambulance gets caught
in traffic. I mean there's a lot of circumstances here,
and I, yeah, I'm with you. I don't see how
this what does his do but create anger and division
(09:33):
and more people who are never going to listen to
anything you have to say. It's the same thing for
me when I see people on Twitter like you were
talking about with the interview last night on x Yeah,
people on both sides just yelling at each other in
the comment section. Whose opinions are you changing? You know,
like give me a well thought out, articulate thought of
(09:54):
why you feel a certain way, but blocking traffic and
you know, and ruining my day. I suppose to draw awareness.
I just don't. I don't get the I don't know,
I don't get it. I don't get whose mind that's changing,
And I don't get how it's effective and I don't
really get what the overall point is.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Well, the point is they will feel better about themselves.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
This is all I have been saying this since the
beginning of these protests, especially earlier this year. We have
a scenario here with this Israel thing, six thousand miles
away something like that. Six seven thousand miles away from
where we are right now is where the action is
actually happening with this thing. Our government is one of
dozens of governments that have been actively supporting Israel as
(10:39):
far as what we're saying, the rhetoric we're using, and
the ability to help them with their resources, something allies
do and the only thing that has actually been gained.
I guess some of the colleges did bend and say,
we'll look at how we can divest from Israel in
some way, which I'm not sure is going to make
a darn bit of difference. And who flip in cares
(11:00):
with the University of Minnesota or Harvard and what their
you know, investment is in a foreign nation, right, Like,
did anybody even know.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
That was a thing before?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Do you think Israel's crying themselves to sleep that these
institutions of higher learning like aren't going to have legitimate
relations with the country of Israel moving forward. I mean,
give me a break. They do this because it makes
them feel like they've achieved something. They do this because
it makes them feel better about themselves. It's the same
reason why the people that were doing the same thing
at the College World Series marching around the grounds of
(11:31):
the College World Series in Omaha and June, they were
able just to like march around and they were talking
all sorts of like genocide and the killing of children
in Israel. They're they're the bad guys and all this stuff,
and no one cares, absolutely zero people care. But they
do it because it makes them feel better. And it's
hard to dis like. It's hard to describe, right, Like,
why do you go and volunteer doing anything else? It
(11:53):
makes you feel good as a person if you feel
like you're making an impact somewhere. Whether you're making a
huge impact or not, but I guess that is determinate,
but by the results of whatever you're doing. You know,
a lot of people volunteer on political hotlines, just trying
to make some phone calls or survey lines to get
information and all that stuff. It's not always gracious work.
You're not getting thrown in jail like some of these people.
But you know what you're doing, You're making yourself feel
(12:16):
like you've achieved something and something's good. How do you
rationalize that any other way than these people are doing
something that makes them feel better about themselves. That's the
only angle I can think of, Matt right, is that
there's no other answer except they want to make themselves
feel like they've accomplished something and achieve something.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah. I always there's a piece of me that always,
in a very cynical lane, wonders if it's a little
bit of the the motivation from a group like the
Westboro Baptist Church. They're looking for you to do something
you know, dumb and violent to them and make a
big media storm about it, Like you know what I mean?
(12:55):
I just yeah, And I'm obviously I'm fully in support
of people right to protests.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
As am I as am I, But how many protests
that have been done in this way have ever made
that big of a difference in the way they're trying
to make a difference what they are calling for? And
I say this, this is the quote for the people
who know what these people are doing. They are calling
for all elected Democrats ahead of the Democratic National Convention
next week to call for a lasting ceasefire in Gaza,
(13:23):
reject I PAC money, and call for in arms and
bargo to Israel. They're calling for this, yet the people
they're blocking on this major highway in Los Angeles are
people that have nothing to do with any of that,
nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
There are people that relate for their jobs.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
People's day completely ruined because a bunch of lunatics decided
that are going to block one of the major highways
because they want to feel good about themselves. I too,
am okay with you protesting. I'm okay with the idea
of having open conversations about things, but absolutely disrupting traffic
on one of the busiest highways in America to try
to make a point about something happening seven thousand miles
(13:56):
away that you know darn well you're not going to
make darn bit of difference right now about this just
makes me just want to I don't like these people,
and I don't like them because they have different viewpoints
than me. I don't like them because they are actively
trying to disrupt people's lives that are completely innocent in
the matter. And absolutely nobody who waited in that line
on the four or five today in Los Angeles is
(14:18):
going to be like, oh yeah, you want to know
something else. I really kind of like those protesters. I
think those are the good guys. Now let me go
home and figure out how I can order my Palestinian flag.
Nobody's doing that, zero people, not even Yogi Bear, not one,
not one Yogi Bear. Unbelievable that this is what people
(14:38):
are doing these days. I just don't understand. But alas
it's all about you want to talk about the chess.
You're playing political chess here. This is political checkers. This
is like you're just asking for somebody to run you
over so you get all the the martyrdom attention. Nobody's
gonna do that, and you're just gonna look like a
(14:58):
bunch of you know what. I don't want to say
the word so I don't get fired. I just cannot
believe that people are doing this anyway. You got thoughts
on a call in four, two, five, five, eight to
eleven ten, and it is four forty nine on news
radio eleven ten KFAB. They were the cheapest thing in
the vending machine here, which by the way charges you
ten additional sins every time you use a transaction for
a machine fee. Wow, I'm being taxed by the vending
(15:20):
machine in this building over here.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Does the machine even see that money though? That's robotist.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
The machine doesn't see it, but the guy that programs
the machine and is absolutely extorting us by charging like
one point seventy five for a small blag of guard deettos.
That guy you want to talk about nickel and diming,
I don't know. I'm not on the ERINDI mooin right now.
Theoretically I'm in Omaha. That guy needs to take a hike.
He is in the wrong industry. If you're trying to
get rich, stop like putting insane prices on this stupid
(15:48):
stuff that you put in these darn vending machines is insane.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Somebody had talked about the four h five blocking with
the protesters from earlier today and said, blocking the four
h five won't free Palestine, but it will ensure that
everyone hates your guts.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Now that that I can agree with. That's funny. Um,
it's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
What do you think, Matt if if I told you
that I would give you fifty bucks to run me over,
and we correlated this in like I tell you which
highway and I'll be standing on the side of the
highway and then I like can see which car is yours,
and then you slow up just enough to where it
makes it look like you weren't trying to hit me.
But then like we have to make it look like
(16:27):
you hit me, and then maybe we can get people
on board supporting you know, the cause, and then you
can like do a complete change and be like, I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to hit this guy. I didn't know
he was standing in the road to protest. I'm actually
on his side. Now would that support? Like do you
think that would change? That's Is that the strategy they
should have employed here?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Can I use a snowplow.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
To hit me with?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Why?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
And why do I only get fifty bucks?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I guess that's negotiable. It depends on how hard you're
willing to hit me. I don't want to do any
of this, just for the record, telling you that this
if you wanted to, If these protesters wanted to make
this a legitimate protest and win people over, one of
them probably needed to get hit by a car. And
I'm just saying, why can't we like fix who's getting
(17:14):
hit by a car.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
And how Oh so it's like protesting professional wrestling kind of.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
But then you know, like you're you're manipulating what the
general public sees and maybe how they feel about it
to get people to agree with your side. But again,
I have to tell you, it's not about agreeing with
their side here. They just want to feel like they
did something today.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
So I hate these people, and maybe I do wish
that one of them would have gotten accidentally hit.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
By a car.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
At least they're gotting exercise.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah, until they sat down and pretended like they were
a dead fish waiting for, you know, one of these
officers to.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Arrest them, and they sandbagged them.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Anyway, Donald Trump about forty years ago had something to
say about being in politics. I'll explain what that means
next on news radio eleven to ten kfab
