Speaker 1 (00:00):
Joining us to explain exactly how you can do that
at this Gretna I ve here this afternoon. It is
my friend Don Bozinski with HIV. Don, thank you so
much for being here with us today.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Oh how are you?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I am fantastic, You know what.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Anytime I get to be in a place like this
for a four hour radio show, it's very exciting.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
This is the first time I've been in this store. Okay,
so first time you ever. Okay, So they don't let
me out very often from the des Moin corporate office,
and I was thrilled to come here. And I came
around the corner and I thought that, like you said,
a spaceship.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's massive. It's so impressive.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah, So I sit here, I'm looking. It's this It's
hard to describe the first time I was here. Everything
you're seeing in the produce section, because I'm in the
produce section. Please come say hi to us. By the way, Yep,
this entire area. They made a volleyball court, a full
sized volleyball court, did and I just sat here and
I was like, I cannot believe there's this much space
to do this in.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
It was awesome.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
That was a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
So I'm so excited to be here today because we
have a really fun thing going on this after noon
from four to six.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
It is the Great Grocery Race.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
And if you have ever wondered, if you ever been
to the grocery store and see how they bag grocery
seeing when you check out, and they do it very quickly,
very efficiently, and you wondered, you know, I wonder how
fast I could do that.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Come out to the Gretna Hive and test your skills.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
This is all a part of our National Family Meals
Month initiative, and National Family Meals Month is away every
year in September that we support our family, support our
customers and families by trying to have them gather more together,
more often to have a meal. And also the importance
(01:42):
of family meals. There's so much scientific research behind the
importance about it builds healthy families when you have more
family time around the dinner table.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Don I have to say, right, I saw maybe it
was a trial run, but you guys did some of
this at the Iowa State Fair.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
We did it at the Fair. We did it the
highv IndyCar Race weekend in Newton, Iowa. Back in July,
and it is a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
It can stopped watching.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I just I stopped in the middle of the Varied
Industries building over there at the IOWASA Fair, and I
just I was in the way because I was just
like I wanted to watch as many people try to
back these groceries as fast as they could.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I think the fastest time I saw there, I kid you,
not forty five seconds.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Okay, and so so let's walk through like forty five seconds.
That's impressive if you've seen somebody try to do this.
This isn't like throwing a couple of milk jugs in
a bag.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
No, No, it has to be highvy standards, you know.
And there's cash prices. The fastest time and between four
to six at the At six o'clock when we stopped
the competition, the fastest time gets a gift card for
five hundred dollars. So we mean business here. We want
to see the best of the best in the the
Omaha area.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, I see, you got These are grocery baskets full
of items, different items, so it's not just the same
item that you're trying to organize. So it's gonna be
a lot of fun. Yeah, and it's going to be
fun for me to be able to watch because it's
right in my line of view here.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
And also I want to let you know is all
the items that we're using in this contest today is
going to go to Food Bank for the Heartland. So
the food is going to go to families and need.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, so right here in Gretna, right, I mean, I
mean it's not going very far at all, and it's
going to be helping people who are absolutely going to
be needing that food. And you can get a lot
of food while you're here too. You can come hang out,
you can try to bag to groceries. If you do
really well, you might win a big gift card. You
might not win a gift card, but you have a
lot of fun. There's a lot of different things that
you can see, you can buy, you can eat when
you're here in this scratton a hive and we'll be
(03:36):
here from four to six or two to six, but
the four to.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Six four to six is the competition.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah, So there you go, very easy, don We're going
to talk to you again throughout the afternoon, plus a
ton of other people who are going to be here
representing HIV in the food bank and all this stuff
that's happening here. It's a pleasure for us to be here.
Thanks so much for having us in Campbell.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Thank you for joining us. This is going to be great.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun. That
is Don Bozinski. She is with HIVE. We are going
to be here at this IV throughout the afternoon. We
want you to be able to join us. So I'm
going to be sitting here. You can't miss me as
you walk through the door next to the grocery area.
Of course, this is a grocery store, but there's a
pharmacy entrance and a more traditional grocery entrance. I'm next
to the grocery entrance and next to the wallburgers. They
(04:16):
have all sorts of stuff. You will be absolutely astounded
about how big this building is once you get here.
And I can't wait to see you as we have
a lot of fun from now until six o'clock and
of course from four to six when we do the
Great Grocery Bagging Challenge here at the Gretna i V.
Of course, there was a challenge last night and that
was in the presidential debate. We are going to have
to talk about that in a few different angles. And
(04:37):
if you've got some thoughts on that, I want you
to start working at in your brain. We will take
calls starting in the next half hour. I'll give you
my thoughts coming up next on news radio eleven ten KFAB.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
And Maurice Soner on news Radio eleven ten KFAB.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
If you had any mix ups, I also happen to
have long hair, So there you go. I already had
a listener come up to me and by the way,
and just said, can't believe you actually have long hair
like that?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Am I supposed to?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Like? What?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
It's a proper response to that, just like I hope
you like it?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Was that just what he said.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
He's like that, like we were you just gonna have
long hair? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I mean he was nice. He's a nice guy. I
just he was like, Wow, you really do have long hair.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I was like, yeah, Well, maybe he was looking for
some conditioning tips. I use per plus myself. Yeah, I mean,
I don't don't.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I don't want to share that though, because if everybody
starts having hair like mine, mine's going to be less special.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
So there you go. That's a great point.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You know what I mean, when everybody's special, nobody is
so yeah, try that one on for size.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
So what do you think about this debate?
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Man?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Do you think America learned anything?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
What's more impactful the actual debate itself, which at times
was incredibly difficult to watch as most debates have become
over the last few years, or Taylor Swift's Instagram post
immediately following the debate, like which which thing made a
bigger imprint on the context of this political race.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
That's a good question. I'm just gonna I'm gonna say
probably Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I'm also going to say Taylor Swift. And this is
why it wasn't really a traditional endorsement, just a paraphrase.
I don't want to read the whole thing, but she
basically said, to the values that I have for me,
I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walls.
But she didn't say I want you to vote for
Kamala and Tim Walls. She basically said, whatever your truth is,
(06:37):
you should vote for them.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Again, her saying she's voting for Tim Walls and Kamala
Harris is an endorsement of some kind, even if it's
not the traditional hey I support this person, you should
support them too. That really wasn't what she said, but
she did sign at the end of it, and and
I do commend her. At the end in the comments,
she put a link or at the bottom of the thing,
she put a link to where how people can find
(07:01):
ways to vote and vote early or figure out like
what the voting rules that they have in their locale are,
which I think is it's a nice thing to put,
you know, so people who want to participate have the
ability to. So I'm not going to condemn her for
any of that, even if you disagree on her politics.
We know her to be a Democrat. I did mention
this with earlier this week when there was a little
(07:21):
bit of a you know, shindig between her and Brittany Mahomes,
because Brittany Mahomes wasn't actually in the box with Taylor
when the Chiefs opened up their NFL season last Thursday.
This was after Brittany Mahomes kind of got publicly outed,
if you want to call it that, for being a
Trump supporter, and you know, nobody should care, but that's politics.
You know, once you kind of align with one political
(07:42):
party or one political candidate, You're kind of just stuck there.
So there are tons of Swifties that are like, don't
talk to her anymore. She's a bad person. And then
at the US Open they were together this weekend, hanging
out acting like nothing was wrong, like they should right,
Like I am just so opposed to, well, you have
to people who disagree with you politically out of your life.
I just I think that's insane and I do not
(08:04):
suggest doing that, and I do not support doing that
unless you really believe in your heart of hearts that
anybody who disagrees with you on political ideals cannot be
your friend.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
For me, that's not how I like to operate my life.
But to each their own.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Speaking of the way that she signed this off though,
it was a picture of her and her cat, and
she said Taylor Swift childless cat lady. And that's kind
of the mic drop moment of the entire post. And
this just goes back to me and what I said
last night or not last night, over the last few
weeks about Jdvan's not really adding a whole lot to
(08:37):
Donald Trump. Now we'll get to JD. And I'm sure
JD's a fine person. I'm sure, JD is an up
and coming politician. He's very young, not forty yet. He's
going to have the opportunity to grow into his role,
as you know, whether he's a vice president or a
future presidential candidate, or the fact that he is a
senator from Ohio right now, that's the job that he
(09:00):
has forever. Who knows, but he's going to get better
at this. It seemed like a crazy idea to make
him the vice presidential candidate in this moment, and he
has created nothing but ammunition for the other side to utilize,
whereas Tim Wallas hasn't really done that. He's engaged a
lot of Democratic voters into having enthusiasm for an otherwise
(09:22):
nondescript candidate like Kamala Harris, who was actually, I thought
much better than advertised in the debate last night. She
had a little bit of help from the moderators. We
knew that that was likely to happen. ABC News is
kind of notoriously left leaning from the last couple of decades,
So anybody who expected this to be in favor of
(09:43):
Trump in some way is you were kidding yourself. But
Trump talked for six more minutes in Kamala that is,
you know Muhammad Ali and foreman, right, let's have him
punch himself out right, like Muhammad just sitting in the corner,
is sitting along the ropes, rope a dope, right, just
sit there and take as much punishment as you possibly can,
and by the seventh eighth round he starts to wear
(10:03):
down them and Hama can go on the offensive.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Well, that's I think what the game plan was. Kamala
had a few great one liners. Neither candidate really answered
a lot of the questions as they were asked point blank,
and that's just a debate these days. Both candidates had
a handful of things that they kept kind of wanting
to steer the conversation towards because they knew they had
that those conversations one up on the other person.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
That's to me is just that that's politics these days.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Both sides were embellishing some of the facts. It was
interesting to hear the moderator's real time try to correct
Donald Trump, even incorrectly correct him on things that weren't
necessarily true, which a lot of people on social media caught.
It just seemed a little bit this is why having
live fact checkers doesn't work, because then you're going to
(10:52):
get yourself caught up in the fact that the fact
checking from the moderators or somebody else who might be
there is also incorrect. And it just creates this big
old cloud of how do you say non trust? Non
trust in the entire process of what we were doing.
And that's the unfortunate reality of what this debate was.
At the same time, Donald Trump fell for a lot
(11:12):
of the traps that were laid out for him. He
talked a lot more than we expect I heard Jim
Row talk about this too.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
This today.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
He talked too much. He talked too much, He took
too much of debate. He talked a lot about January sixth.
He got into a lot of the January sixth stuff,
which was he was baited into that. He didn't point
blank say that he was going to veto a federal
abortion ban and instead rerouted that conversation to comparing it
to student loan forgiveness, which again it took me even
(11:39):
a while to understand what the correlation there was. I
eventually understood that he was saying that she's never going
to be able to get Roe v Wade or put
it in code because she's never going to get the votes.
It's never going to be a problem. The states have
the issue. There's not going to be a federal abortion ban.
I'm not even half to veto anything. But he didn't
say point blank, no, I will not sign a Nash
(12:00):
federal abortion band. He didn't say that when asked multiple times. Now,
I'm not saying that that's bad. I'm just saying that
that's going to be held against him. Same thing with
the you know, the January sixth conversation as well, when
they asked him point blank about what could you have
done differently, and he said, I didn't do anything wrong.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
He's not wrong when he says that.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
But then it just opened the door for Kamala just
to come in with the big right hook basically saying
that he incited this deal and mentioned all the indictments.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
And that's again.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
The moderators didn't jump in there and say anything specific
to correct her about what she was saying he was
responsible for, because everything that he is being accused of
being responsible for is not been found to be true
in a court of law. To this point, of course,
his whole legal issues that has been brought up a
(12:55):
bunch and continued to get brought up last night as well.
But I think pretty telling was Matt. Do you remember
we talked about this about the handshake at the beginning
of the about the beginning of the debate. Would there
be a handshake, Remember that the Vegas odds overwhelmingly had
Know as the favorite.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
There would not be right right.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
They entered on both sides of For anybody who missed
the beginning, they entered on both sides of the stage,
and she walked over and met him at his lectern
and shook his hand and said, let's have a good debate.
I mean it was an awkward looking thing because I
think it took him aback too. I think he was
(13:37):
completely out of his element in that moment because he didn't.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Expect her to do that. I didn't expect her to
do that. I don't know anybody who did.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
She literally walked to him on his lectern and shook
his hand as he was preparing to debate, And I said,
I wanted to see them do that. I thought it
would have set a nice tone. Obviously, it was incredibly
hostile in the way that they would talk to each
other throughout the ninety plus minutes that this was going on,
But there was absolutely no doubt in that moment I
(14:06):
was taken aback, and I'm sure he was taken. It
back to at the strategy that she had of coming
out and saying, Hey, I'm going to be the bigger
person here, I'm going to shake his hand. I think
that changed kind of the tone of the whole exercise.
So did I learn a lot?
Speaker 6 (14:18):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I did not.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Did you know, independent voters learn quite a bit about
these candidates and their policies, know, because neither of them
really talked about specific policies. Trump's getting absolutely hammered because
he said I have concepts of plans about how to
improve healthcare, didn't really outline any specific plans. So of
course everybody's going after him, even though Kamala Harris has
been incredibly vague about any plans that she has about
anything except the plans that she is going against her
(14:43):
beliefs of what she had five years ago.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
This is politics in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
If you are expecting to learn a lot about these
candidates and what you can expect of them in office,
it's incredibly difficult to understand exactly what information you can
or cannot trust. And that's why I thought it was
a very frustrating event to watch if you were actually
they're trying to learn something that's a television event. I
was pretty entertained to have to admit. If you want
to call in, you want to be a part of
this conversation, you can. We''ll open the phone lines now
(15:08):
four roh two five five eight eleven ten. Four h
two five five eight eleven ten, and we're here at
the Gretna Highve. We'd love to see you here until six.
We'll tell you more about how you can win a
five hundred dollars gift card by bagging some groceries from
four to six as well, stick around on news radio
eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
And Raise Songer.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
We're also here at the Gretna high Ve and today,
of course a lot of interesting things to talk about,
but the reason I'm here just want to remind you.
From four to six there's going to be the Great
Grocery Race as contestants anybody who wants to play, can
you come in and you bag groceries as fast as
you possibly can. They have prizes for the top three finishers.
(15:45):
The fastest person a five hundred dollars high V gift card.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
But all of the.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Food that you're using that they are using over here
to bag is going to the Food Bank for the
Heartland here in Gretna. And on top of that, it's
going to be a lot of fun, but they're gonna
give you a lot of information on the best ways
to continue to help people who are a food insecure.
As we get into the fall, we'll have plenty of
people that will be joining the show throughout the day
and are excited to talk to them about that. We're
(16:11):
talking about the debate right now. We have the phone
lines open at four h two five five eight eleven ten.
Four h two five five eight eleven ten. Let's start
with Carol. Carol, thank you so much for listening to
our show today. What do you think about it all?
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Well, I got one thing that I noticed. I don't
know if anybody else noticed it, but Kamala's hair was
way longer than it normally is. I feel she had
an extension on her hair on her head to cover
up a near peet and on the right no, now listen,
(16:49):
on the right side of her hair head, that hair
on the right side by that.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Right here never moved.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Her hair is not long, Carol.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
I don't know if anybody else noticed it, but hey,
that was and somebody else I know noticed it too.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yeah, yeah, Carol. I I gotta tell you.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
I have sometimes Matt talks to me in my ears,
and I'm not as practiced as maybe a politician would
be at being distracted. But when I am like on location,
like I am here at the gretona Ive, sometimes Matt
has to talk to me, like while I'm talking to
tell me, you know, like a cue or something that's
coming up or something like that, and it distracts me immediately.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I could never operate like that. Now.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I'm not saying that you can completely rule it out
because I I don't know. I didn't see her ears.
I haven't looked at her hair that closely. It's not
something I generally pay attention to. But I of all
of the things that I could pull out of what
I saw last night, even if she was getting force
fed some of the answers, she seemed definitely more prepared
and more you know, ready for the interactions that she
(18:03):
would have with Trump and basically did what we expected.
The more Trump talks, the more the Democrats want him
to talk, and that's just the interesting dichotomy that we
have here. Usually talking time it results in people feeling
like they won. Last night, it definitely felt like it
was the opposite. But I totally respect what you're seeing
out there, Carol, and I'm glad that you called us
(18:25):
to keep us aware of it. I just didn't notice it,
nor was I thinking about it that much.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
To be honest, at least, I think she has the
questions ahead of time because she's not she can't think
that back.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Well, if she I would, I would say that that's possible.
But I'll be honest. She didn't even answer any of
the questions. So, I mean I sat there with my
wife and we were sitting there just like, well, anybody
answer one of the questions. I mean, this is also
on the moderators too. They brought stuff to the table,
but both candidates just redirected everything that was being asked
(18:57):
of them to whatever they wanted to talk about.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I don't know it was.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
It was a poorly moderated debate and both candidates just
ran over, you know, whatever the rules were supposed to be.
I don't know, Carol, I didn't really enjoy watching it
to be honest with you, it was kind of entertaining,
but if you were trying to learn something, it was
a pointless exercise. But I do appreciate your call today.
All right, yep, no problem with Carroll. Have a great day.
Let's go to Brian. Brian's on the phone line four
(19:22):
two five five, eight eleven ten. If you want to
be a part of the show, you can call in
as well. Brian, what'd you think about it last night?
Speaker 8 (19:28):
Well, I think James Comer needs to do an investigation
to get to the roots of this hair scandal.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Uh what I want?
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
What I wanted to say is not since Rocky Balboa
go over from Apollo Creed beat Ivan drago as there,
then that's your rematch turned around, he lost to Quinn.
She said people were leaving his rallies early because they're bored.
He started going off about people eating dogs and chats.
(19:56):
Now all the at eating means that Maga was posting
yesterday morning immediately after the debate for being posted by
camera of people who mock them, including the out eating
a cat sandwich swan. Yeah, and what people learned, well,
anyone outside of the Maga verse learned that she was nuts, and.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
She was saying, well, if you already thought that Donald
Trump was not, I don't know anybody who doesn't already
have a strong opinion on Trump.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
It was about her last night.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
She was better than expected for anybody who thought that
this was a really dumb woman. She might be dumb
for politician standards, the dumbest politician maybe outside of somebody
like Santos, is smarter than ninety percent of the rest
of us. Okay, the amount of skill in schooling and
you know, communication ability and all that stuff. I'm not
(20:50):
saying she's an excellent politician, but she definitely is smarter
than I am.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
She is smarter than most of us are.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
When it comes to policies in the way that you know,
she does her job. I don't agree with her policies.
I know many people who very humanly disagree with her policies. Unfortunately,
that's not the way that forty five percent of the
country staunchly feels. And it's really that ten percent in
the middle, especially in these swing states that these two
candidates are battling for. Donald Trump was basically the Donald
(21:20):
Trump that we know and have gotten used to over
the better part of the last decade. Kamala Harris a
fresh person and this is why they, I think, protect
her from the media. She was able to go out
in that environment and introduce herself really in front of
a live audience for the first time. Nobody was watching
that interview that she did with CNN last week or
(21:41):
the week before. Nobody paid attention to her rallies. Political
rallies are fun to attend, but they aren't The people
who are going to the rallies are the people that
already are in support or think they want to support
those candidates, unless you're in the media like me, and
you go to as many of them.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
As you possibly can.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
For Kamala, not a lot of people probably in our
area of seeing her talk like this, so you know,
it was an opportunity for her to introduce herself, and
I think she did a much better job than people
gave her credit for. At the same time, I don't
think that we learned much of anything. If you have
been following the news cycle. If you haven't been following
the news cycle, I would venture to say that the
Taylor Swift Instagram post probably moved you more than watching
(22:22):
ninety minutes of these two consistently change the subject and
not answer any questions. That was the frustration that I had, Brian,
I really appreciate calling in. Though right now it is
two forty eight. We'll get to more phone calls. If
you want to be a part of the show. Calls
at four h two five to five, eight eleven ten.
Four h two five five eight eleven ten. We're talking
debate as I sit here live at the Gretona Iive
on news radio eleven ten KFAB. We're talking about the
(22:44):
presidential debate right now, and if you want to call
in with your opinion, you can four h two five
five eight eleven ten. Fourh two five five eight eleven ten,
and we're joined by Lucas on the line.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Lucas, thanks for the call today. What's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (22:55):
Every good afternoon. Here's for your consideration, not about art
or dumb, but if you equate the debate to essentially
a job interview, I think we had an excellent example
of two individuals who prepped fastly differently. Obviously, one has
to prep in a manner that is suitable themselves, but
(23:17):
you also have to prep for the environment that you're
going into, and for that if I were in Trump's camp,
I certainly would have said ge Tulsea Gabbard and Matt
Geeks may not have been your best sparring partners to
prep you for a debate with Kamala Harris. Conversely, I
(23:37):
don't know who she used, but my gut instinct from
watching the entire debate was two individuals who went in,
one who was immensely well prepared to articulate their position
and clearly needled the former president as she did. Doesn't
matter if we think that was a good idea or not.
(23:58):
It was obviously a and you know, if I'm going
in and I'm interviewing for a job, I'm going to
use whatever skills are going to get me the best presentation.
And for that, I think she did an exceptional job.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah, and appreciate the call, Lucas. There's no doubt that
she came out of it looking better than she did
going in, and he didn't look any better at all.
In fact, to a lot of people, there are plenty
of moments that went viral.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
The Cats and.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Ohio thing definitely went viral. The way that she kind
of was looking at him and really utilizing the camera
time without having without speaking definitely made an impression, I
think on people who were trying to figure out who
this woman was because she was responding.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
And this is part of the preparation too.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Is not just what you say, but it's how you
carry yourself out there and the fact I'm saying it
right now. She took him out of his element quite
a bit when she approached him at his lectern before
the debate, shook his hand with the cameras watching, and said,
let's have a nice debate or a good debate or whatever.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
She said.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Mark's on the phone line of four two, five, five, eight,
eleven ten, Mark, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
What do you think, hey, Emery?
Speaker 10 (25:11):
Yeah, I guess my comment. First of all, as you mentioned,
the commentators were poor. I, on the other hand, think
they were pretty good. They were fact checking to the
point they could with his outrageous lives.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yeah, but they were really fact checking one, just one
of the two candidates, And there was as many things
that were questionably said by Kamala Harris that were not
checked by the moderators that it was definitely unbalanced in
that way.
Speaker 10 (25:37):
At the end of the day, they did detailed fact checking.
Trump lied thirty three times Kamalia one time.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Yeah, unfortunately, I'm I'm guessing you were watching the CNN
Daniel Dale segment where Daniel Dale, who was literally hired
by CNN to be a fact checker against specifically Donald Trump.
That was literally the job that they hired him to do.
Of course, he's going to say, well, Kamala said this
and this because she they want him to seem at
(26:05):
least somewhat balance and fair. That's not what he's there for.
Daniel Dale has literally, since he was hired seven eight
years ago, has been hired by CNN to be a
Donald Trump fact checker. That's not the role of the moderators.
The moderators aren't supposed to tell the candidates, Hey, I
have different information. I did not since sarcasm in this
thing that you said you were sarcastic about, I didn't
(26:26):
since this thing over here about that. Look, she definitely
looked better coming out of this market. And I appreciate
you for the call, but there's no doubt to me
that the moderators certainly were playing home field advantage essentially
for Kamala Harris. I don't necessarily think the network I'd
like them to be fair and balanced. But I mean,
we got a pretty fair and balanced pair in Jake
(26:47):
Tapper and Dana Bash. We weren't expecting that. How greedy
is it to expect the ABC people to also be
unbalanced and stay out of the way.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Quick, let's get to Brian on the line, and thank
you so much for listening to our show today.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
What's going on?
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Hi? So what I was thinking is so hereris One
last night because she prepared for Trump as she manipulated
Trump from the beginning. So you have to ask yourself
that you're going to have a world leader, do you
want the one that manipulated the person for an hour
and a half or do you want the person that
was being manipulated for an hour and a half. And
(27:25):
that's just kind of what I watched last night.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
It's interesting, Brian, thanks for the call. Run out of
time here this hour. You know, it is interesting. But
what he just outlined, isn't that politics? And isn't that
debate anyway? I mean, that's just kind of what debate is. Again,
we didn't really learn anything about the policies of either
of these two people, but it really was about what
we didn't know about Kamala and what we did know
about Trump, and that was really the story at the
(27:49):
end of the day. We'll keep talking about this live
from the gret and a Hive. My name is Emory Stronger.
Thanks for joining us. Call us at four h two
five five eight, eleven ten. You're listening to us live
right here on news Radio eleven ten KFAB
Joining us to explain exactly how you can do that
at this Gretna I ve here this afternoon. It is
my friend Don Bozinski with HIV. Don, thank you so
much for being here with us today.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Oh how are you?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I am fantastic, You know what.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Anytime I get to be in a place like this
for a four hour radio show, it's very exciting.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
This is the first time I've been in this store. Okay,
so first time you ever. Okay, So they don't let
me out very often from the des Moin corporate office,
and I was thrilled to come here. And I came
around the corner and I thought that, like you said,
a spaceship.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's massive. It's so impressive.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah, So I sit here, I'm looking. It's this It's
hard to describe the first time I was here. Everything
you're seeing in the produce section, because I'm in the
produce section. Please come say hi to us. By the way, Yep,
this entire area. They made a volleyball court, a full
sized volleyball court, did and I just sat here and
I was like, I cannot believe there's this much space
to do this in.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
It was awesome.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
That was a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
So I'm so excited to be here today because we
have a really fun thing going on this after noon
from four to six.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
It is the Great Grocery Race.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
And if you have ever wondered, if you ever been
to the grocery store and see how they bag grocery
seeing when you check out, and they do it very quickly,
very efficiently, and you wondered, you know, I wonder how
fast I could do that.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Come out to the Gretna Hive and test your skills.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
This is all a part of our National Family Meals
Month initiative, and National Family Meals Month is away every
year in September that we support our family, support our
customers and families by trying to have them gather more together,
more often to have a meal. And also the importance
(01:42):
of family meals. There's so much scientific research behind the
importance about it builds healthy families when you have more
family time around the dinner table.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Don I have to say, right, I saw maybe it
was a trial run, but you guys did some of
this at the Iowa State Fair.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
We did it at the Fair. We did it the
highv IndyCar Race weekend in Newton, Iowa. Back in July,
and it is a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
It can stopped watching.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I just I stopped in the middle of the Varied
Industries building over there at the IOWASA Fair, and I
just I was in the way because I was just
like I wanted to watch as many people try to
back these groceries as fast as they could.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I think the fastest time I saw there, I kid you,
not forty five seconds.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Okay, and so so let's walk through like forty five seconds.
That's impressive if you've seen somebody try to do this.
This isn't like throwing a couple of milk jugs in
a bag.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
No, No, it has to be highvy standards, you know.
And there's cash prices. The fastest time and between four
to six at the At six o'clock when we stopped
the competition, the fastest time gets a gift card for
five hundred dollars. So we mean business here. We want
to see the best of the best in the the
Omaha area.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, I see, you got These are grocery baskets full
of items, different items, so it's not just the same
item that you're trying to organize. So it's gonna be
a lot of fun. Yeah, and it's going to be
fun for me to be able to watch because it's
right in my line of view here.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
And also I want to let you know is all
the items that we're using in this contest today is
going to go to Food Bank for the Heartland. So
the food is going to go to families and need.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, so right here in Gretna, right, I mean, I
mean it's not going very far at all, and it's
going to be helping people who are absolutely going to
be needing that food. And you can get a lot
of food while you're here too. You can come hang out,
you can try to bag to groceries. If you do
really well, you might win a big gift card. You
might not win a gift card, but you have a
lot of fun. There's a lot of different things that
you can see, you can buy, you can eat when
you're here in this scratton a hive and we'll be
(03:36):
here from four to six or two to six, but
the four to.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Six four to six is the competition.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah, So there you go, very easy, don We're going
to talk to you again throughout the afternoon, plus a
ton of other people who are going to be here
representing HIV in the food bank and all this stuff
that's happening here. It's a pleasure for us to be here.
Thanks so much for having us in Campbell.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Thank you for joining us. This is going to be great.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun. That
is Don Bozinski. She is with HIVE. We are going
to be here at this IV throughout the afternoon. We
want you to be able to join us. So I'm
going to be sitting here. You can't miss me as
you walk through the door next to the grocery area.
Of course, this is a grocery store, but there's a
pharmacy entrance and a more traditional grocery entrance. I'm next
to the grocery entrance and next to the wallburgers. They
(04:16):
have all sorts of stuff. You will be absolutely astounded
about how big this building is once you get here.
And I can't wait to see you as we have
a lot of fun from now until six o'clock and
of course from four to six when we do the
Great Grocery Bagging Challenge here at the Gretna i V.
Of course, there was a challenge last night and that
was in the presidential debate. We are going to have
to talk about that in a few different angles. And
(04:37):
if you've got some thoughts on that, I want you
to start working at in your brain. We will take
calls starting in the next half hour. I'll give you
my thoughts coming up next on news radio eleven ten KFAB.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
And Maurice Soner on news Radio eleven ten KFAB.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
If you had any mix ups, I also happen to
have long hair, So there you go. I already had
a listener come up to me and by the way,
and just said, can't believe you actually have long hair
like that?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Am I supposed to?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Like? What?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
It's a proper response to that, just like I hope
you like it?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Was that just what he said.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
He's like that, like we were you just gonna have
long hair? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I mean he was nice. He's a nice guy. I
just he was like, Wow, you really do have long hair.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I was like, yeah, Well, maybe he was looking for
some conditioning tips. I use per plus myself. Yeah, I mean,
I don't don't.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I don't want to share that though, because if everybody
starts having hair like mine, mine's going to be less special.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
So there you go. That's a great point.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You know what I mean, when everybody's special, nobody is
so yeah, try that one on for size.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
So what do you think about this debate?
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Man?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Do you think America learned anything?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
What's more impactful the actual debate itself, which at times
was incredibly difficult to watch as most debates have become
over the last few years, or Taylor Swift's Instagram post
immediately following the debate, like which which thing made a
bigger imprint on the context of this political race.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
That's a good question. I'm just gonna I'm gonna say
probably Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I'm also going to say Taylor Swift. And this is
why it wasn't really a traditional endorsement, just a paraphrase.
I don't want to read the whole thing, but she
basically said, to the values that I have for me,
I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walls.
But she didn't say I want you to vote for
Kamala and Tim Walls. She basically said, whatever your truth is,
(06:37):
you should vote for them.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Again, her saying she's voting for Tim Walls and Kamala
Harris is an endorsement of some kind, even if it's
not the traditional hey I support this person, you should
support them too. That really wasn't what she said, but
she did sign at the end of it, and and
I do commend her. At the end in the comments,
she put a link or at the bottom of the thing,
she put a link to where how people can find
(07:01):
ways to vote and vote early or figure out like
what the voting rules that they have in their locale are,
which I think is it's a nice thing to put,
you know, so people who want to participate have the
ability to. So I'm not going to condemn her for
any of that, even if you disagree on her politics.
We know her to be a Democrat. I did mention
this with earlier this week when there was a little
(07:21):
bit of a you know, shindig between her and Brittany Mahomes,
because Brittany Mahomes wasn't actually in the box with Taylor
when the Chiefs opened up their NFL season last Thursday.
This was after Brittany Mahomes kind of got publicly outed,
if you want to call it that, for being a
Trump supporter, and you know, nobody should care, but that's politics.
You know, once you kind of align with one political
(07:42):
party or one political candidate, You're kind of just stuck there.
So there are tons of Swifties that are like, don't
talk to her anymore. She's a bad person. And then
at the US Open they were together this weekend, hanging
out acting like nothing was wrong, like they should right,
Like I am just so opposed to, well, you have
to people who disagree with you politically out of your life.
I just I think that's insane and I do not
(08:04):
suggest doing that, and I do not support doing that
unless you really believe in your heart of hearts that
anybody who disagrees with you on political ideals cannot be
your friend.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
For me, that's not how I like to operate my life.
But to each their own.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Speaking of the way that she signed this off though,
it was a picture of her and her cat, and
she said Taylor Swift childless cat lady. And that's kind
of the mic drop moment of the entire post. And
this just goes back to me and what I said
last night or not last night, over the last few
weeks about Jdvan's not really adding a whole lot to
(08:37):
Donald Trump. Now we'll get to JD. And I'm sure
JD's a fine person. I'm sure, JD is an up
and coming politician. He's very young, not forty yet. He's
going to have the opportunity to grow into his role,
as you know, whether he's a vice president or a
future presidential candidate, or the fact that he is a
senator from Ohio right now, that's the job that he
(09:00):
has forever. Who knows, but he's going to get better
at this. It seemed like a crazy idea to make
him the vice presidential candidate in this moment, and he
has created nothing but ammunition for the other side to utilize,
whereas Tim Wallas hasn't really done that. He's engaged a
lot of Democratic voters into having enthusiasm for an otherwise
(09:22):
nondescript candidate like Kamala Harris, who was actually, I thought
much better than advertised in the debate last night. She
had a little bit of help from the moderators. We
knew that that was likely to happen. ABC News is
kind of notoriously left leaning from the last couple of decades,
So anybody who expected this to be in favor of
(09:43):
Trump in some way is you were kidding yourself. But
Trump talked for six more minutes in Kamala that is,
you know Muhammad Ali and foreman, right, let's have him
punch himself out right, like Muhammad just sitting in the corner,
is sitting along the ropes, rope a dope, right, just
sit there and take as much punishment as you possibly can,
and by the seventh eighth round he starts to wear
(10:03):
down them and Hama can go on the offensive.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Well, that's I think what the game plan was. Kamala
had a few great one liners. Neither candidate really answered
a lot of the questions as they were asked point blank,
and that's just a debate these days. Both candidates had
a handful of things that they kept kind of wanting
to steer the conversation towards because they knew they had
that those conversations one up on the other person.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
That's to me is just that that's politics these days.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Both sides were embellishing some of the facts. It was
interesting to hear the moderator's real time try to correct
Donald Trump, even incorrectly correct him on things that weren't
necessarily true, which a lot of people on social media caught.
It just seemed a little bit this is why having
live fact checkers doesn't work, because then you're going to
(10:52):
get yourself caught up in the fact that the fact
checking from the moderators or somebody else who might be
there is also incorrect. And it just creates this big
old cloud of how do you say non trust? Non
trust in the entire process of what we were doing.
And that's the unfortunate reality of what this debate was.
At the same time, Donald Trump fell for a lot
(11:12):
of the traps that were laid out for him. He
talked a lot more than we expect I heard Jim
Row talk about this too.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
This today.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
He talked too much. He talked too much, He took
too much of debate. He talked a lot about January sixth.
He got into a lot of the January sixth stuff,
which was he was baited into that. He didn't point
blank say that he was going to veto a federal
abortion ban and instead rerouted that conversation to comparing it
to student loan forgiveness, which again it took me even
(11:39):
a while to understand what the correlation there was. I
eventually understood that he was saying that she's never going
to be able to get Roe v Wade or put
it in code because she's never going to get the votes.
It's never going to be a problem. The states have
the issue. There's not going to be a federal abortion ban.
I'm not even half to veto anything. But he didn't
say point blank, no, I will not sign a Nash
(12:00):
federal abortion band. He didn't say that when asked multiple times. Now,
I'm not saying that that's bad. I'm just saying that
that's going to be held against him. Same thing with
the you know, the January sixth conversation as well, when
they asked him point blank about what could you have
done differently, and he said, I didn't do anything wrong.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
He's not wrong when he says that.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
But then it just opened the door for Kamala just
to come in with the big right hook basically saying
that he incited this deal and mentioned all the indictments.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
And that's again.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
The moderators didn't jump in there and say anything specific
to correct her about what she was saying he was
responsible for, because everything that he is being accused of
being responsible for is not been found to be true
in a court of law. To this point, of course,
his whole legal issues that has been brought up a
(12:55):
bunch and continued to get brought up last night as well.
But I think pretty telling was Matt. Do you remember
we talked about this about the handshake at the beginning
of the about the beginning of the debate. Would there
be a handshake, Remember that the Vegas odds overwhelmingly had
Know as the favorite.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
There would not be right right.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
They entered on both sides of For anybody who missed
the beginning, they entered on both sides of the stage,
and she walked over and met him at his lectern
and shook his hand and said, let's have a good debate.
I mean it was an awkward looking thing because I
think it took him aback too. I think he was
(13:37):
completely out of his element in that moment because he didn't.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Expect her to do that. I didn't expect her to
do that. I don't know anybody who did.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
She literally walked to him on his lectern and shook
his hand as he was preparing to debate, And I said,
I wanted to see them do that. I thought it
would have set a nice tone. Obviously, it was incredibly
hostile in the way that they would talk to each
other throughout the ninety plus minutes that this was going on,
But there was absolutely no doubt in that moment I
(14:06):
was taken aback, and I'm sure he was taken. It
back to at the strategy that she had of coming
out and saying, Hey, I'm going to be the bigger
person here, I'm going to shake his hand. I think
that changed kind of the tone of the whole exercise.
So did I learn a lot?
Speaker 6 (14:18):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I did not.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Did you know, independent voters learn quite a bit about
these candidates and their policies, know, because neither of them
really talked about specific policies. Trump's getting absolutely hammered because
he said I have concepts of plans about how to
improve healthcare, didn't really outline any specific plans. So of
course everybody's going after him, even though Kamala Harris has
been incredibly vague about any plans that she has about
anything except the plans that she is going against her
(14:43):
beliefs of what she had five years ago.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
This is politics in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
If you are expecting to learn a lot about these
candidates and what you can expect of them in office,
it's incredibly difficult to understand exactly what information you can
or cannot trust. And that's why I thought it was
a very frustrating event to watch if you were actually
they're trying to learn something that's a television event. I
was pretty entertained to have to admit. If you want
to call in, you want to be a part of
this conversation, you can. We''ll open the phone lines now
(15:08):
four roh two five five eight eleven ten. Four h
two five five eight eleven ten, and we're here at
the Gretna Highve. We'd love to see you here until six.
We'll tell you more about how you can win a
five hundred dollars gift card by bagging some groceries from
four to six as well, stick around on news radio
eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
And Raise Songer.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
We're also here at the Gretna high Ve and today,
of course a lot of interesting things to talk about,
but the reason I'm here just want to remind you.
From four to six there's going to be the Great
Grocery Race as contestants anybody who wants to play, can
you come in and you bag groceries as fast as
you possibly can. They have prizes for the top three finishers.
(15:45):
The fastest person a five hundred dollars high V gift card.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
But all of the.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Food that you're using that they are using over here
to bag is going to the Food Bank for the
Heartland here in Gretna. And on top of that, it's
going to be a lot of fun, but they're gonna
give you a lot of information on the best ways
to continue to help people who are a food insecure.
As we get into the fall, we'll have plenty of
people that will be joining the show throughout the day
and are excited to talk to them about that. We're
(16:11):
talking about the debate right now. We have the phone
lines open at four h two five five eight eleven ten.
Four h two five five eight eleven ten. Let's start
with Carol. Carol, thank you so much for listening to
our show today. What do you think about it all?
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Well, I got one thing that I noticed. I don't
know if anybody else noticed it, but Kamala's hair was
way longer than it normally is. I feel she had
an extension on her hair on her head to cover
up a near peet and on the right no, now listen,
(16:49):
on the right side of her hair head, that hair
on the right side by that.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Right here never moved.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Her hair is not long, Carol.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
I don't know if anybody else noticed it, but hey,
that was and somebody else I know noticed it too.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yeah, yeah, Carol. I I gotta tell you.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
I have sometimes Matt talks to me in my ears,
and I'm not as practiced as maybe a politician would
be at being distracted. But when I am like on location,
like I am here at the gretona Ive, sometimes Matt
has to talk to me, like while I'm talking to
tell me, you know, like a cue or something that's
coming up or something like that, and it distracts me immediately.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I could never operate like that. Now.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I'm not saying that you can completely rule it out
because I I don't know. I didn't see her ears.
I haven't looked at her hair that closely. It's not
something I generally pay attention to. But I of all
of the things that I could pull out of what
I saw last night, even if she was getting force
fed some of the answers, she seemed definitely more prepared
and more you know, ready for the interactions that she
(18:03):
would have with Trump and basically did what we expected.
The more Trump talks, the more the Democrats want him
to talk, and that's just the interesting dichotomy that we
have here. Usually talking time it results in people feeling
like they won. Last night, it definitely felt like it
was the opposite. But I totally respect what you're seeing
out there, Carol, and I'm glad that you called us
(18:25):
to keep us aware of it. I just didn't notice it,
nor was I thinking about it that much.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
To be honest, at least, I think she has the
questions ahead of time because she's not she can't think
that back.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Well, if she I would, I would say that that's possible.
But I'll be honest. She didn't even answer any of
the questions. So, I mean I sat there with my
wife and we were sitting there just like, well, anybody
answer one of the questions. I mean, this is also
on the moderators too. They brought stuff to the table,
but both candidates just redirected everything that was being asked
(18:57):
of them to whatever they wanted to talk about.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I don't know it was.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
It was a poorly moderated debate and both candidates just
ran over, you know, whatever the rules were supposed to be.
I don't know, Carol, I didn't really enjoy watching it
to be honest with you, it was kind of entertaining,
but if you were trying to learn something, it was
a pointless exercise. But I do appreciate your call today.
All right, yep, no problem with Carroll. Have a great day.
Let's go to Brian. Brian's on the phone line four
(19:22):
two five five, eight eleven ten. If you want to
be a part of the show, you can call in
as well. Brian, what'd you think about it last night?
Speaker 8 (19:28):
Well, I think James Comer needs to do an investigation
to get to the roots of this hair scandal.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Uh what I want?
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
What I wanted to say is not since Rocky Balboa
go over from Apollo Creed beat Ivan drago as there,
then that's your rematch turned around, he lost to Quinn.
She said people were leaving his rallies early because they're bored.
He started going off about people eating dogs and chats.
(19:56):
Now all the at eating means that Maga was posting
yesterday morning immediately after the debate for being posted by
camera of people who mock them, including the out eating
a cat sandwich swan. Yeah, and what people learned, well,
anyone outside of the Maga verse learned that she was nuts, and.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
She was saying, well, if you already thought that Donald
Trump was not, I don't know anybody who doesn't already
have a strong opinion on Trump.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
It was about her last night.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
She was better than expected for anybody who thought that
this was a really dumb woman. She might be dumb
for politician standards, the dumbest politician maybe outside of somebody
like Santos, is smarter than ninety percent of the rest
of us. Okay, the amount of skill in schooling and
you know, communication ability and all that stuff. I'm not
(20:50):
saying she's an excellent politician, but she definitely is smarter
than I am.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
She is smarter than most of us are.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
When it comes to policies in the way that you know,
she does her job. I don't agree with her policies.
I know many people who very humanly disagree with her policies. Unfortunately,
that's not the way that forty five percent of the
country staunchly feels. And it's really that ten percent in
the middle, especially in these swing states that these two
candidates are battling for. Donald Trump was basically the Donald
(21:20):
Trump that we know and have gotten used to over
the better part of the last decade. Kamala Harris a
fresh person and this is why they, I think, protect
her from the media. She was able to go out
in that environment and introduce herself really in front of
a live audience for the first time. Nobody was watching
that interview that she did with CNN last week or
(21:41):
the week before. Nobody paid attention to her rallies. Political
rallies are fun to attend, but they aren't The people
who are going to the rallies are the people that
already are in support or think they want to support
those candidates, unless you're in the media like me, and
you go to as many of them.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
As you possibly can.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
For Kamala, not a lot of people probably in our
area of seeing her talk like this, so you know,
it was an opportunity for her to introduce herself, and
I think she did a much better job than people
gave her credit for. At the same time, I don't
think that we learned much of anything. If you have
been following the news cycle. If you haven't been following
the news cycle, I would venture to say that the
Taylor Swift Instagram post probably moved you more than watching
(22:22):
ninety minutes of these two consistently change the subject and
not answer any questions. That was the frustration that I had, Brian,
I really appreciate calling in. Though right now it is
two forty eight. We'll get to more phone calls. If
you want to be a part of the show. Calls
at four h two five to five, eight eleven ten.
Four h two five five eight eleven ten. We're talking
debate as I sit here live at the Gretona Iive
on news radio eleven ten KFAB. We're talking about the
(22:44):
presidential debate right now, and if you want to call
in with your opinion, you can four h two five
five eight eleven ten. Fourh two five five eight eleven ten,
and we're joined by Lucas on the line.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Lucas, thanks for the call today. What's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (22:55):
Every good afternoon. Here's for your consideration, not about art
or dumb, but if you equate the debate to essentially
a job interview, I think we had an excellent example
of two individuals who prepped fastly differently. Obviously, one has
to prep in a manner that is suitable themselves, but
(23:17):
you also have to prep for the environment that you're
going into, and for that if I were in Trump's camp,
I certainly would have said ge Tulsea Gabbard and Matt
Geeks may not have been your best sparring partners to
prep you for a debate with Kamala Harris. Conversely, I
(23:37):
don't know who she used, but my gut instinct from
watching the entire debate was two individuals who went in,
one who was immensely well prepared to articulate their position
and clearly needled the former president as she did. Doesn't
matter if we think that was a good idea or not.
(23:58):
It was obviously a and you know, if I'm going
in and I'm interviewing for a job, I'm going to
use whatever skills are going to get me the best presentation.
And for that, I think she did an exceptional job.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah, and appreciate the call, Lucas. There's no doubt that
she came out of it looking better than she did
going in, and he didn't look any better at all.
In fact, to a lot of people, there are plenty
of moments that went viral.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
The Cats and.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Ohio thing definitely went viral. The way that she kind
of was looking at him and really utilizing the camera
time without having without speaking definitely made an impression, I
think on people who were trying to figure out who
this woman was because she was responding.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
And this is part of the preparation too.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Is not just what you say, but it's how you
carry yourself out there and the fact I'm saying it
right now. She took him out of his element quite
a bit when she approached him at his lectern before
the debate, shook his hand with the cameras watching, and said,
let's have a nice debate or a good debate or whatever.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
She said.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Mark's on the phone line of four two, five, five, eight,
eleven ten, Mark, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
What do you think, hey, Emery?
Speaker 10 (25:11):
Yeah, I guess my comment. First of all, as you mentioned,
the commentators were poor. I, on the other hand, think
they were pretty good. They were fact checking to the
point they could with his outrageous lives.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yeah, but they were really fact checking one, just one
of the two candidates, And there was as many things
that were questionably said by Kamala Harris that were not
checked by the moderators that it was definitely unbalanced in
that way.
Speaker 10 (25:37):
At the end of the day, they did detailed fact checking.
Trump lied thirty three times Kamalia one time.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Yeah, unfortunately, I'm I'm guessing you were watching the CNN
Daniel Dale segment where Daniel Dale, who was literally hired
by CNN to be a fact checker against specifically Donald Trump.
That was literally the job that they hired him to do.
Of course, he's going to say, well, Kamala said this
and this because she they want him to seem at
(26:05):
least somewhat balance and fair. That's not what he's there for.
Daniel Dale has literally, since he was hired seven eight
years ago, has been hired by CNN to be a
Donald Trump fact checker. That's not the role of the moderators.
The moderators aren't supposed to tell the candidates, Hey, I
have different information. I did not since sarcasm in this
thing that you said you were sarcastic about, I didn't
(26:26):
since this thing over here about that. Look, she definitely
looked better coming out of this market. And I appreciate
you for the call, but there's no doubt to me
that the moderators certainly were playing home field advantage essentially
for Kamala Harris. I don't necessarily think the network I'd
like them to be fair and balanced. But I mean,
we got a pretty fair and balanced pair in Jake
(26:47):
Tapper and Dana Bash. We weren't expecting that. How greedy
is it to expect the ABC people to also be
unbalanced and stay out of the way.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Quick, let's get to Brian on the line, and thank
you so much for listening to our show today.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
What's going on?
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Hi? So what I was thinking is so hereris One
last night because she prepared for Trump as she manipulated
Trump from the beginning. So you have to ask yourself
that you're going to have a world leader, do you
want the one that manipulated the person for an hour
and a half or do you want the person that
was being manipulated for an hour and a half. And
(27:25):
that's just kind of what I watched last night.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
It's interesting, Brian, thanks for the call. Run out of
time here this hour. You know, it is interesting. But
what he just outlined, isn't that politics? And isn't that
debate anyway? I mean, that's just kind of what debate is. Again,
we didn't really learn anything about the policies of either
of these two people, but it really was about what
we didn't know about Kamala and what we did know
about Trump, and that was really the story at the
(27:49):
end of the day. We'll keep talking about this live
from the gret and a Hive. My name is Emory Stronger.
Thanks for joining us. Call us at four h two
five five eight, eleven ten. You're listening to us live
right here on news Radio eleven ten KFAB
