Speaker 1 (00:00):
I just want to tell you things are okay. Find
that thing gets you motivated, gets you out. You know,
it's a run club night. I can't actually be at
run club tonight. It's a run club has been a
good addition in my life for a lot of different reasons.
Get to meet some people, get social, little motivation to
you know, get a couple of miles on your feet,
(00:21):
your little motivation to run when you otherwise could be
just walking. It's good for your cardio, all that stuff,
you know what I mean. So find your thing like
run club. I gotta drive to the moin today because
guess what I'm going to be broadcasting from the Iowa
State Fair in the morning for my morning show and
then doing this show from the studios in Des Moines.
(00:43):
It's gonna be hot. Are you packing your pool pants?
I I looked it up. I found out the pool
pants would be illegal. What illegal? Illegal to to you know?
It won't pass the UH you can't wear the pool
pants through the metal detectors. But it's water, I know.
(01:04):
But it's just if I were to rig pants pool
pants in a way that I could be sitting in
a pool while I'm walking around again. An absolutely absurd.
Idea that we came up with. The metal detector just
would not be a thing that we could do. So
(01:25):
hot dumb pants have been recalled due to some injuries
from scalding. Yeah exactly, but pool pants are still in beta.
Looks like we'll be rolling this product out at some
point in twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
You can.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I'm taking my name off of it because I have
a reputation to uphold. So yeah, I might as well
just take it to the people and see how they
feel about it. Yeah, maybe you should do it. Maybe
you're the dorts guy. You take some chances with your wardrobe.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
By one pair of wrinkly jeorts that I haven't worn.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Think I've worn him this year? He did in January.
Oh yeah, that's right for that very bizarre photo op. Yeah,
where did that photo go? I want to see that again.
It scrubbed. Speaking of Russian uh, Donald Trump on True
Social Today said, my special invoice Steve Witkoff just had
a highly productive meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Great
(02:22):
progress was made. Afterwards, I updated some of our European allies.
Everyone agrees this war must come to a close and
we will work towards that in the days and weeks
to come. Thank you for your attention to this matter here.
In the last hour or so, news has come out
from national news sources that Donald Trump intends to meet
(02:46):
in person with Vladimir Putin as early as next week
and then the hope is, and I don't know who's
saying this, but it's being reported by national news sources,
he planned to follow that meeting with a meeting between himself,
Putin and Voladimir's and Lensky of Ukraine. Because remember Donald
(03:08):
Trump put like a fifty day thing on, you know,
like a deadline to get a peace agreement secured for Russia,
otherwise you're gonna get tariffed. Something this morning I was
reading about is that Trump is tariffing India twice as
much now, increasing the tariffs on India by two times
(03:30):
because they're still doing business with Russia and they're helping
perpetuate their like doing oil, buying oil or something from Russia.
And Donald Trump's like, don't be doing that. Don't be
doing it. So he's gonna, you know, use Trey to
see Remember he met with the guy who's in charge
of India pretty early in the presidency. Remember the guy
(03:52):
was like, We're gonna make India great again, and it
was you know, funny and interesting. And then after that,
India and Pakistan almost went to war in April, remember that.
But then Trump was able to quash that with trade stuff.
Well now he's using trade once again to see if
India will stop doing direct business with Russia. So there
(04:14):
you go. We'll let you know if there is some
obvious impertinent information that will detail that coming up. But
as far as we know, progress is being made. Now.
The big story today this afternoon that's being reported on
is in Fort Stewart in Georgia. This is down in
(04:37):
the Savannah area and five soldiers were shot and the
suspect now identified as twenty eight year old US Army
Sergeant Cornelius Radford. All five soldiers expected to survive. They
were being traded on site. They're from the second Armored
Brigade Combat Team or ABCT. They were shot in that
(05:00):
area and treated on site and moved to Win Army
Community Hospital. Everybody who needed to know what was happening
as it was happening late this morning have been informed
of this, and I guess we'll find out what The
reason of this was in why a sergeant, a US
(05:21):
Army sergeant Cornelius Radford had a personal handgun that he
used to shoot five soldiers and then was tackled immediately
when that started to occur. Pretty crazy to think that
that's even something that could happen. But this is why
mental health matters, ladies and gentlemen. As much as we
would like to think that maybe everything is figured out
(05:42):
we can trust every single person out there, I don't know,
like why mental health is different than it was a
year ago. I think everybody is dealing with something that
doesn't excuse what this guy did. Obviously he should pay
a really hefty punishment for the consequences of his actions.
But why did we get here, How did that happen?
And what can we learn from it so it doesn't
(06:04):
happen again? That is important to me. Got to keep
talking about it. Other thing here that we were talking
about and we were having some fun with yesterday was
Las Vegas. Remember what I talked about about Las Vegas yesterday?
I was talking about Las Vegas losing people unless people
(06:25):
are going to Las Vegas, So what gives and what's
going to happen? Well, we'll try to explain that to
you next on news Radio eleven to ten Kfab.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
And Marie Sung on News Radio eleven ten Kfab. I
wouldn't put myself in the category of like a Vegas guy.
I feel like I've kind of aged out of that
age bracket where like people kind of go there and
I don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
You're like in the right age range for the guys
who were in the hangover.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I suppose. Yeah, I don't know, it's not really I
would be interesting to see how far down it would
fall on the list for me places I would want
a vacation right there's especially statewide. There's mostly nature spots,
mostly places like that I would say would be much
higher on the list. Vegas. What would I go for.
I'm not a gambler. Only time I gambled I played
(07:16):
the roulette wheel and lost fifty dollars in about four
point eight seconds, So.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
That could happen. Yeah, you gotta stick with it, though,
you have to have a game plan. Fifty bucks is
that's not enough at a Vegas roulette table.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I'd probably just hit the all you can eat buffets.
That'd probably be where I'd kind of live.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
This is why Vegas is dying everything you're saying, right,
So we were talking about this and now statistics have
come out from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority
and they say three point one million people visited Las
Vegas in June. Now, that might sound like a lot
of people, but that's down eleven point three percent to
the same month last year. Now people are trying to
(07:57):
understand why that is. People are saying high prices. It's
really expensive to do anything over there. The gambling is
the cheapest thing that you can do. Honestly, parking's expensive,
Lodging is expensive. If you want to gamble. If you
want to gamble, Matt, you know what you can do.
I mean not Nebraska except for I guess warhorses out
(08:21):
there now. But yeah, I mean I to go across
the river and you just go to Iowa and I
can go to Horseshoe or Maristo or any of those
places and guess what.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I can gamble.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
It's not Vegas. But I don't need a book a
flight to Vegas just to get a little gaming on.
What about sports gambling? And they'll get Nebraska, Sorry, you
can't play. But like if you're in Iowa and just like, hey, yeah,
I got a sports book right on my phone. I
don't need to go sit in a recliner at a
Vegas sports book. Yeah. So, you know, it's just like
(08:57):
the novelty has worn off, and you know, fifty sixty
years ago you go to Vegas, there's an era of
mystery there. It happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Am
I right? There's an air of unpredictability and kind of
a forbidden fruit of you never quite know what's gonna happen.
But also this is stuff that is just not it's
(09:21):
not realistic to your everyday life anywhere else. Vegas was
a very unique place that was in the middle of
the desert. It was kind of hard and out of
the way to get to and when you were there,
and you were at those old school casinos in the
sixties and seventies, you never knew exactly what was going on.
You could bet couldn't really do that anywhere else. The women,
(09:46):
the lifestyle now it's really just a family vacation spot.
I mean putting sports teams there all the time. It
just where are they getting their water? They built it
out so much that it's really just a family friendly place.
I mean not to say it's not nice. And if
I got a chance to go back to Vegas, I
would I have been in Vegas. I did Roulette, I
(10:08):
did very well, mind you, I paid for my trip
at the Roulette tables in Las Vegas, and I appreciate
their patronage. But you know, I know a lot of
people that go and they want to go to shows. Okay,
well you can do that. This fierce looking pretty cool,
I suppose, you know. I don't know. I just there's
(10:29):
the uniqueness of it has worn off and it's just
way too accessible now and way too many families are
there for it to feel like that forbidden fruit of
a city that it once was. And it's interesting because
all that infrastructures got into it. Is there a chance
that becomes America's first like big city ghost town? Like
(10:51):
does it like get abandoned after a while? Does it
just like wither away?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Everything you said there at the beginning of why the
Vegas specifically financially is not a destination like it used
to be. You could say the same thing about Disney World,
but with one giant caveat Okay, disney World is Disney World. Now,
you can watch a Disney movie at home, but you
(11:19):
can't go to the world itself unless you go down
to Orlando, Florida, right.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Or Disneyland in California or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, well you can, like you were saying, people who
enjoy gambling. And again, aside from losing fifty bucks at
a roulette wheel once in four point eight seconds, I've
never gambled myself. But like people who do that, they
can do that just about anywhere these days. So what's the.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Allure of They're going to the land of gambling? You
might as well, like you're going for the shows. You're
going to say that you're in Vegas. I guess you're going,
and you could see the Raiders or the Las Vegas
Aces women's basketball team, or you could see the A's
(12:12):
in a couple of years when they've moved in, assuming
that stadium gets done. If I'm the A's, I'm pooping
my pants a little bit here, just like this is bad.
The whole purpose of us going there was because the
city said they wanted us, But the whole point was
that we could be kind of a touristy attraction along
the strip in our baseball stadium, and if the city
is i mean eleven percent down year over year on
(12:35):
tourism in the summer, that's alarming to me. And I
don't exactly know the right way to explain there has
there been a city that has had a fall off
like that, you know, in the Disney World thing. I
(12:59):
can understand where you're coming from on it. The thing
about Disney World, though, is it is super unique to
immerse yourself in that world. But I would argue that
other casinos have done a good enough job of giving
you all of what you are looking for in a
Vegas casino. Maybe not the noise level, maybe not the
(13:22):
free beverages, but you get a lot of that stuff.
And there are a lot of places in the country
that look really nice and pretty inviting. But I'm not
going to Vegas to sight see. You think I'm taking
a picture of the miniature Statue of Liberty they have there, Well,
(13:43):
some people do, but but you're not there for that.
I'm not going to Vegas to do that. I might
as well go to New York. You can see the
real one. No, I'm going into the New York casino
and I'm gambling, but I can gamble right across the
river or at Warhorse. So what am I doing there?
I don't know. I'm being skeptical, but I'm just saying,
(14:05):
if you had a Vegas trip lined up by do
it now. Not to say that the city's going to die,
but I think Vegas is one of those weird cities
where I can totally see because its reputation is on
something that is now readily available anywhere in the country,
and it's insanely expensive to go there and to stay
(14:26):
there and to do anything there. Either, the prices are
gonna have to come down. They're gonna have to get
a little bit of that grittiness back to what the
city is and try to get some people interested, like
truly interested and going out of their way to be there.
But then after that, you're going to have to have
(14:48):
some sort of ploy to make people not just want
to live there, but to visit there. It's about tourism. Like,
do you think Las Vegas is trying to get people
to live and work there. Is that helping their economy?
I think tourism is way more important to them. I
don't know. It's a fascinating situation. So the New York
posts actually just did a whole bit on it. You
(15:09):
can find it on their website. I just found that funny.
We had just talked about it and then it popped
up yesterday
I just want to tell you things are okay. Find
that thing gets you motivated, gets you out. You know,
it's a run club night. I can't actually be at
run club tonight. It's a run club has been a

Get to meet some people, get social, little motivation to

I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before.
