Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vordiez Bradley emails and says, I heard you say
this morning that Harris as a twelve point lead over
Trump and Nebraska's second district. Where did that number come from?
That is reported today in the Omaha World, Harold has
been a New York Times Sienna College poll that came
out yesterday. Let's talk with Nebraska's first district representative. Mike
(00:21):
Flood joins us here on news radio eleven ten KFA
be Good morning, congressman, good morning, How are you just fine?
Thank you? Four years ago we had a number of
people vote for Biden and Don Bacon. So what do
you think about a twelve point lead for Kamala Harris
and Nebraska's second district? Can you're a friend and associate
(00:43):
from Nebraska's second district? Don Bacon survived this political challenge
from a bunch of people going out there voting for Kamala,
voting for Initiative four thirty nine for expanded abortion in Nebraska.
Does Don Bacon have a problem and how's that affecting
you in Nebraska's first district?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Tell you what I've been asked the same question by
a lot of my colleagues in Congress around the nation.
And I always tell him there's only one member of
Congress that could overcome that kind of a high hill,
and that's Dom Bacon. Every single day when he wakes up,
he's got folks on the right and the left, you know,
in his ear, and he has he has the ability
to thread the needle and to do the right thing
(01:21):
for the people of Omaha. And I'm hopeful. I think
we got to be eyes wide open. This is a
high hill. But let me put in a plug for
Don because I've seen it firsthand. Here we have a
guy that's representing the Omaha area who is a subcommittee
chairman on House Armed Services. He has risen the ranks.
(01:42):
He led the second largest Republican caucus on Capitol Hill
in the House side. He's a national figure that we
don't give him enough credit for. And I caught another
state about a month and a half ago trying to
scam jobs out of off At Air Force Base, and
working together with Don Bacon, we shut that down. Other
(02:04):
states want what we have at Offen. They look at
that and they say why Omaha. Not only why Omaha,
but why did they get a new runway, Why did
they get a billion dollar strapcom headquarters when every other
base in the Air Force struggles to get the kind
of capital improvement projects. How did that? How did that
all get fixed after twenty nineteen floods? You know? And
(02:27):
that's Don Bacon quite frankly, it's Don Bacon and Deb Fisher,
and those two, in my opinion, don't do a good
job of tooting their own horn. I see it firsthand.
I see the kind of influence he has. Why would
you give that up? Why would you give that up?
In Omaha? I just can't understand it.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I'm sure that Congressman Bacon will appreciate that vote of
support from you. I asked him if he was supporting
you in your race. He said no, he was supporting
Carol Blood. So I mean, you guys are going to
have to talk what I'm kidding? All right, Let's look
at Initiative four to thirty nine. The governor and the
chief medical officer in Nebraska came out and said that
there's a lot of incorrect and misleading information regarding the law.
(03:06):
There are people right now who are pro life and
pro choice. I'm not really sure what they're supposed to
vote on with these abortion initiatives. I presume you've had
a chance to take a look at them. Do you
think that four thirty four, the more pro life of
the bills, goes far enough. Some pro life people don't think.
So what do you think of these bills?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well, first of all, four point thirty nine is no
restrictions at all. You know, it's up to the discretion
of the abortionists to whether or not you can have
an abortion or not. There's not even They fly right
past this concept of viability that we had under the
Casey US Supreme Court case. You know, in twenty eleven,
we passed a firm restriction on twenty weeks and everybody
(03:49):
was fine with it. I'm sure some weren't, but I
got forty four out of forty nine votes, including several
Democrats that did that. That was my bill. It wasn't challenged.
Four thirty nine walks right past it, It runs right
past it and says, hey, you can convince the guy
that's in the business of performing abortions to give you
an abortion. You get one. And that's more radical than
(04:11):
North Korea, Russia, China, countries that we don't do business with.
That's what you get with four thirty nine as it
relates to four thirty four. The legislature thoughtfully considered this,
They listened to all the testimony, they voted, and in
(04:31):
a bipartisan way, they arrived at restricting abortion after the
first trimester. Perfect is the enemy of good. I'm pro life.
I've been pro life since I started in political service.
I've always said after Dobbs, we have to listen to
the state. And I spent ten years in the state legislature.
I know what it's like to get one of these
bills passed. If they have it after the first trimester,
(04:54):
I think we have to support it and move on.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You you know, you know, you don't hear a lot
of pro choice people using the term abortion. You hear
about we don't want government intrusion and deciding a woman's
right to choose or a woman's right to decide what's
best for her body women's health care decisions. You don't
hear the term abortion much, do you.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
No, you don't. And I can tell you there's you know,
like if they had gone to twenty weeks or something,
because that's the standard we lived under for you know,
since twenty eleven. This new standard blows past viability, and
we're talking about an abortionist that can perform one. You know,
at thirty nine weeks, there is you know, if they
(05:41):
if any abortionist opinion this is acceptable, then go for it.
That's what they say. So I don't think that's where
Nebraskans are. I don't think that's where a majority of
Nebraskans are. Certainly there are there's a lobby for that,
and they are they are working on it, but the
information they're putting out doesn't talk about what it is
(06:04):
to your point, and I think everybody understands the restricting
abortion after the first trimester except for the life and
health of the mother, except for situations of rape and incest,
I think that's reasonable, and I think at the end
of the day, Nebraska could show the rest of the
nation that we thoughtfully considered two separate options, were the
(06:25):
only state in the nation that has that, and the
people of Nebraska weighed themselves and chose and after the
first trimester. I don't think is unreasonable if you're looking
to find a compromise on what is a very difficult issue.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Talking here with Nebraska First District Representative Mike Flood on
news Radio eleven ten kfab Last night, high ve had
prime Ribbi on sale Ribbi's and a fantastic steak, and
I got my wife a bacon wrap filet because she
loves those. We love steak at our house. I'm a
(07:01):
proud born and raised Nebraska. You do too, and you're
taking a look at this from a different angle. Talk
to me about meat.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I like to tell people I've been on the Atkins
diet for thirty years. Here's the deal. The Davos crowd
is at it again. They've got this new twenty twenty
five Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. They put out these new
guidelines that take aim at meat and potatoes, and the
committee produces these guidelines every five years. Let's talk about meat.
(07:36):
Meat is the most efficient way to deliver protein. Potatoes
contain basic nutrients like potassium, invitamin C. I can't believe
we even have to go to bat supporting meat as
opposed to this lab grown, plant based whatever it is,
lab grown meat. So here's the deal I asked. I
(07:56):
actually passed an amendment, and I'm urging the Department of
Egg and the US Department of Health and Human Services
to reject these ill informed recommendations and the activist thinking,
which is trying to reshape our diets, the way of
life for the farm families who grow our food. And
here's the big question. If this is such a big deal,
is it worth wrecking Nebraska's number one industry for the
(08:19):
number one beef producing state in the nation. And our
farmers and ranchers get zero credit for their environmental practices.
They get zero credit for raising more corn with less water.
And that corn, by the way, feeds those cows, it
produces ethanol. We shift that beef all over the world.
It's the most efficient way to deliver protein. And we
(08:40):
find ourselves in a situation where the far left wants
to inch this stuff into certain guidelines, and the Department
of Energy is now involved. They're all looking at ways
to push plant growth. All right, what I'm saying, lab
grown meat is this really the focus? Is this what
we need?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
So what are you saying you don't want lab grown
meat or you want to clearly labeled what that is?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
What I want is I want to study that says
this is in the best interests of Americans. There's a
lot of studies on beef. There's a lot of studies
on potatoes. There are a lots of studies on pork.
You can go out and find everything you need to see.
But show me why we should wreck one industry that
has produced not only our food supply for the United States,
(09:24):
but also ensures our national security by making sure we
can feed our people. That we should wreck an entire
industry and destroy the livelihood ofands hundreds of thousands of
farmers and ranchers in favor of something you can grow
in a lab. And it isn't more efficient study of that.
We study everything else. Why don't they study that before
(09:46):
they start pushing this stuff into these amendments on the floor, Like,
is it worth wrecking the beef industry Nebraska over some
desire to grow this stuff in a.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Lab as long as people still want to have steak?
I don't know that we're going to wreck Nebraska's beef industry.
I at least want things very clearly labeled. And Congressman Flood,
I appreciate you taking a look at this and many issues.
Always appreciate you being on the program with us. Thanks
a lot for the time today. Enjoy your day you too.
It is my Flood, Nebraska first District Congressman here on
(10:17):
eleven ten kfab Scott Bodies where you go It News
Radio eleven ten kfab Lucy. Are you among those who
are concerned that there's going to be violence erupting in
the streets after this election? Seems like a lot of
people are worried about that.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Maybe, but I think that I like to believe that
we have a civilized society. I like to believe that
whatever side wins, utilize people on both sides.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
You don't go out much, do you No, That's what
the polls show that there are a lot of people
very concerned about what's going to happen after a.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Week talked about it and manifested.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Right. Well, no, I'm going I'm going to try and
tamp this down, and I'm going to try and explain,
and this isn't going to take longer than just a
few seconds. Why you see these polls that say like
seventy seven percent of Americans are concerned that there'll be
violence that erupts in America after the election. Let me
(11:23):
tell you why that is. The Trump voters think that
if Kamala Harris loses, there's going to be riots in
the streets, like Black Lives Matter, like Occupy Wall Street.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
What are they going to be rioting over?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
They hate Trump?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Okay, so they're just rioting over hating somebody.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah they Well, I've seen riots break out after their
team wins the NBA Finals, you know, so, I mean Detroit,
the Detroit Pistons beat the Los Angeles Less and suddenly
it's time to burn down Detroit. I mean, anything can happen.
This happens in college towns. They won the national championship.
(12:08):
What should we do, Well, you know all that line
of restaurants and bars we like to frequent as college students,
Let's blow them up. I mean, people can riot for anything.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah, but I like to think that if somebody was
going to have a riot, they would have a at
least a reason, good or not.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
The feeling is. And this isn't me suggesting that's going
to happen. I'm telling you where the polling comes from.
Trump supporters, especially the very ardent ones, think that the
Kamala Harris people have been so whipped into a frenzy
that if Trump wins, that democracy is over. He's going
to institute Project twenty twenty five. And if they don't
(12:50):
do something like riot in the streets or storm the
Capitol Building or whatever that Trump's going to go in there.
He's to subject all women to dress like in the
Handsmade Tale and be slaves to men because it's sexy.
Men will only be biological men. They transgenders and gay
(13:12):
people all be rounded up, and anyone with even a
decent tan, whether they're Black, Muslim, or Hispanic, will be
cast out into that island of filth, that garbage town
known as Puerto Rico. Because that's what the guy said
at the Madison Square Garden Route. And these are what
people think is going to happen now by the same token.
(13:34):
The Kamala voters, especially the most ardent ones, feel like
if Trump loses, he's gonna again say the election was
re election, and he's gonna send his supporters into the Capitol,
just like he did on January sixth when he said,
I want you to go in there, find all those
elected officials, specifically Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi, and fight
(13:56):
like hell until they're beaten into bloody pulps. That's what
they heard, So that's what they think's going to happen again.
That's why you get these polls. It's not that it's
it's no one. And if I think if you drill
down a little bit more and ask people like, do
you think there's gonna be violence in this country after
the election, they'll say, Oh yeah, do you think it's
(14:19):
because the other side, other than your political persuasion. Do
you think they're the ones who if they lose, they're
going to carry it out?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, absolutely, it's skotting. And then and then you ask
them like, Okay, if you lose the election, are you
going to go out and commit violence? Oh no, I
never do that. I live in a Lucy Chapman or
you know, sophisticated society, and I just wouldn't do that.
So no one feels like, and if my candidate doesn't win,
(14:47):
I'm gonna go out and burn this mother down. So
where who's committing all the violence? Then well, there might
be a pocket of weirdos here or there.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Believe like, yeah, we've seen that a lot of them
were paid.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I know seventy six percent are extremely or somewhat concerned
about violent attempts to overturn election results. That's got to
be exclusively what you think of the other side, not
if I see some shenanigans going on I'm going to
go out there and we're going to burn this place down.
(15:26):
Then this survey the Associated Press did this also found
that eighty six percent of registered voters believe whoever loses
the presidential election should accept the results, though thirty three
percent expect Trump will concede if he fails to secure
the vote needed to win the electoral College. So people
(15:49):
look at that and gausseee, this just shows Trump right there,
he's ready to Trump has always hedged his response on this.
Will you say right now that you will accept the
results of the twenty twenty four election. Why in the
world would he say that, we don't know what the
situation might be. We don't know who's gonna pull what,
(16:11):
we don't know what could happen. Anything can happen in
the next week and on election day, and if there's
funny business, it should be investigated. And Kamala Harris supporters
would say the exact same thing. You can't just say. Basically,
what they're asking is, if you see evidence that there
may have been voter fraud, are you going to say
(16:33):
right now, Ah, you know what, forget it, Let's just
move on. Why in the world would he.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Say that well, for the general public. I think accepting
and believing are two very different things. Yeah, and I
think that accepting is going to be the most important
thing that needs to be done.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Well, you can either like, let's say the election doesn't
turn out the way you want. Okay, you've got two options.
I guess you can storm the Capitol building. And I'll
say the same thing that I've said several times. Whether
it's like some of the people, the true believers that
went into the Capitol on January sixth, I think truly
(17:17):
believed that the election would be overturned if they just
went in there and did what exactly to who How
would any of that have overturned the election? It wouldn't
like these idiots that were caught like we're going to
kidnap the governor of Michigan. We're going to kidnap her
and we're going to throw her in the trunk and
we're going to abscond with her until we take power.
(17:39):
Like that's not how it works. That at no point
would the people a Michigan go say, well, we don't
have a leader, Well, who's our leader? Well, these guys
must be quite strong. They kidnapped the governor and will
just make them leaders. That doesn't work that way. So
(18:01):
what is it that people are worried about. Here's another
fun one. Seventy eight percent of registered voter survey say
they're concerned about foreign interference in the election. And they
look at this and they say, see, here's a video
comes from Russia. Here's a video showing a guy tearing
up mail in ballots that were had Trump filled in.
(18:23):
The video has got someone going through the mail in
ballots that have already come in and anything that has
the oval filled in for Trump, they just tear it
up and throw it away. They're throwing away Trump votes.
And people go, see, look it's happening. And then they
investigate it and this is just a joke video coming
out of Russia, and people say, oho, Russian interference. Do
(18:44):
you have any idea. I don't know if it's these
guys doing it or if they're inspired by these guys,
but I think the people who do these videos, they're
also the same ones who put the video out. We
talked about the other day of someone claiming to be
a former student of Governor Tim Walla saying, oh, yeah,
when I was a student and he was a teacher.
He touched me. It was also it was fake. I
(19:06):
wonder if the people doing this are influenced not so
much by Vladimir Putin, but influenced by those two popular
wacky morning radio hosts in Russia. Remember these stories. These
guys would call up and they would get world leaders
on the phone, because you call someone secretary, you get
(19:31):
someone else in the line. You're talking to a campaign manager,
and next thing you know, they're like, it sounds legit.
They're Russian, And next thing you know, you've got here's
two of the best things these guys ever did. One
time they got Adam Schiff, the congressman from California on
the phone, Adam Shiff with his giant eyes, who went
on CNN every day and said, I've seen evidence of
(19:52):
Russian collusion. And then you come to find out he
was talking to these idiots. They're wacky warning radio show host.
They're not so much KGB operatives as they are Todd
and Tyler. So they got Adam Schiff on the phone
and they said, we have pictures, naked pictures of Donald Trump,
(20:13):
and shifts like, tell me more. It's all a prank.
These guys are the jerky boys of Russia. Another great
one is they got the Prime Minister of Canada on
the phone, Justin Trudeau, and they had a kid in
there playing the part of Greta Thunberg, like just chewing
them out for not doing enough on the climate and
(20:36):
making all kinds of crazy demands. It's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I all have to look at that.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
It's hilarious. I don't speak Russians. I don't know how
all of it goes, but these guys are hilarious. I'm
not a huge fan of prank phone calls. I love
me some old jerky boys, but I think that what
you're seeing here about Russian collusion, it's not Trump and
putin war together. It's these guys wanting to be Frank
(21:02):
Rizzo rizz O. That's a jerky boys reference. So that's
the foreign interference in the election I believe we're dealing with.
Are people smart enough to see it for what it is?
Is it changing anyone's vote? I don't know. A week
to go and then we can concentrate on not just
(21:23):
the fallout from this election. But remember, for those of
you who are like, ah, you have all this build
up for the election and it's over no, no, no.
The Omaha City elections are in the spring. We have
that to look forward to. That'll be fun, right
Speaker 2 (21:39):

I like to tell people I've been on the Atkins
diet for thirty years. Here's the deal. The Davos crowd
is at it again. They've got this new twenty twenty
five Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. They put out these new
guidelines that take aim at meat and potatoes, and the
committee produces these guidelines every five years. Let's talk about meat.
(07:36):
Meat is the most efficient way to deliver protein. Potatoes
contain basic nutrients like potassium, invitamin C. I can't believe
we even have to go to bat supporting meat as
opposed to this lab grown, plant based whatever it is,
lab grown meat. So here's the deal I asked. I
(07:56):
actually passed an amendment, and I'm urging the Department of
Egg and the US Department of Health and Human Services
to reject these ill informed recommendations and the activist thinking,
which is trying to reshape our diets, the way of
life for the farm families who grow our food. And
here's the big question. If this is such a big deal,
is it worth wrecking Nebraska's number one industry for the
(08:19):
number one beef producing state in the nation. And our
farmers and ranchers get zero credit for their environmental practices.
They get zero credit for raising more corn with less water.
And that corn, by the way, feeds those cows, it
produces ethanol. We shift that beef all over the world.
It's the most efficient way to deliver protein. And we
(08:40):
find ourselves in a situation where the far left wants
to inch this stuff into certain guidelines, and the Department
of Energy is now involved. They're all looking at ways
to push plant growth. All right, what I'm saying, lab
grown meat is this really the focus? Is this what
we need?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
So what are you saying you don't want lab grown
meat or you want to clearly labeled what that is?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
What I want is I want to study that says
this is in the best interests of Americans. There's a
lot of studies on beef. There's a lot of studies
on potatoes. There are a lots of studies on pork.
You can go out and find everything you need to see.
But show me why we should wreck one industry that
has produced not only our food supply for the United States,
(09:24):
but also ensures our national security by making sure we
can feed our people. That we should wreck an entire
industry and destroy the livelihood ofands hundreds of thousands of
farmers and ranchers in favor of something you can grow
in a lab. And it isn't more efficient study of that.
We study everything else. Why don't they study that before
(09:46):
they start pushing this stuff into these amendments on the floor, Like,
is it worth wrecking the beef industry Nebraska over some
desire to grow this stuff in a.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Lab as long as people still want to have steak?
I don't know that we're going to wreck Nebraska's beef industry.
I at least want things very clearly labeled. And Congressman Flood,
I appreciate you taking a look at this and many issues.
Always appreciate you being on the program with us. Thanks
a lot for the time today. Enjoy your day you too.
It is my Flood, Nebraska first District Congressman here on
(10:17):
eleven ten kfab Scott Bodies where you go It News
Radio eleven ten kfab Lucy. Are you among those who
are concerned that there's going to be violence erupting in
the streets after this election? Seems like a lot of
people are worried about that.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Maybe, but I think that I like to believe that
we have a civilized society. I like to believe that
whatever side wins, utilize people on both sides.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
You don't go out much, do you No, That's what
the polls show that there are a lot of people
very concerned about what's going to happen after a.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Week talked about it and manifested.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Right. Well, no, I'm going I'm going to try and
tamp this down, and I'm going to try and explain,
and this isn't going to take longer than just a
few seconds. Why you see these polls that say like
seventy seven percent of Americans are concerned that there'll be
violence that erupts in America after the election. Let me
(11:23):
tell you why that is. The Trump voters think that
if Kamala Harris loses, there's going to be riots in
the streets, like Black Lives Matter, like Occupy Wall Street.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
What are they going to be rioting over?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
They hate Trump?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Okay, so they're just rioting over hating somebody.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah they Well, I've seen riots break out after their
team wins the NBA Finals, you know, so, I mean Detroit,
the Detroit Pistons beat the Los Angeles Less and suddenly
it's time to burn down Detroit. I mean, anything can happen.
This happens in college towns. They won the national championship.
(12:08):
What should we do, Well, you know all that line
of restaurants and bars we like to frequent as college students,
Let's blow them up. I mean, people can riot for anything.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah, but I like to think that if somebody was
going to have a riot, they would have a at
least a reason, good or not.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
The feeling is. And this isn't me suggesting that's going
to happen. I'm telling you where the polling comes from.
Trump supporters, especially the very ardent ones, think that the
Kamala Harris people have been so whipped into a frenzy
that if Trump wins, that democracy is over. He's going
to institute Project twenty twenty five. And if they don't
(12:50):
do something like riot in the streets or storm the
Capitol Building or whatever that Trump's going to go in there.
He's to subject all women to dress like in the
Handsmade Tale and be slaves to men because it's sexy.
Men will only be biological men. They transgenders and gay
(13:12):
people all be rounded up, and anyone with even a
decent tan, whether they're Black, Muslim, or Hispanic, will be
cast out into that island of filth, that garbage town
known as Puerto Rico. Because that's what the guy said
at the Madison Square Garden Route. And these are what
people think is going to happen now by the same token.
(13:34):
The Kamala voters, especially the most ardent ones, feel like
if Trump loses, he's gonna again say the election was
re election, and he's gonna send his supporters into the Capitol,
just like he did on January sixth when he said,
I want you to go in there, find all those
elected officials, specifically Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi, and fight
(13:56):
like hell until they're beaten into bloody pulps. That's what
they heard, So that's what they think's going to happen again.
That's why you get these polls. It's not that it's
it's no one. And if I think if you drill
down a little bit more and ask people like, do
you think there's gonna be violence in this country after
the election, they'll say, Oh yeah, do you think it's
(14:19):
because the other side, other than your political persuasion. Do
you think they're the ones who if they lose, they're
going to carry it out?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, absolutely, it's skotting. And then and then you ask
them like, Okay, if you lose the election, are you
going to go out and commit violence? Oh no, I
never do that. I live in a Lucy Chapman or
you know, sophisticated society, and I just wouldn't do that.
So no one feels like, and if my candidate doesn't win,
(14:47):
I'm gonna go out and burn this mother down. So
where who's committing all the violence? Then well, there might
be a pocket of weirdos here or there.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Believe like, yeah, we've seen that a lot of them
were paid.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I know seventy six percent are extremely or somewhat concerned
about violent attempts to overturn election results. That's got to
be exclusively what you think of the other side, not
if I see some shenanigans going on I'm going to
go out there and we're going to burn this place down.
(15:26):
Then this survey the Associated Press did this also found
that eighty six percent of registered voters believe whoever loses
the presidential election should accept the results, though thirty three
percent expect Trump will concede if he fails to secure
the vote needed to win the electoral College. So people
(15:49):
look at that and gausseee, this just shows Trump right there,
he's ready to Trump has always hedged his response on this.
Will you say right now that you will accept the
results of the twenty twenty four election. Why in the
world would he say that, we don't know what the
situation might be. We don't know who's gonna pull what,
(16:11):
we don't know what could happen. Anything can happen in
the next week and on election day, and if there's
funny business, it should be investigated. And Kamala Harris supporters
would say the exact same thing. You can't just say. Basically,
what they're asking is, if you see evidence that there
may have been voter fraud, are you going to say
(16:33):
right now, Ah, you know what, forget it, Let's just
move on. Why in the world would he.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Say that well, for the general public. I think accepting
and believing are two very different things. Yeah, and I
think that accepting is going to be the most important
thing that needs to be done.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Well, you can either like, let's say the election doesn't
turn out the way you want. Okay, you've got two options.
I guess you can storm the Capitol building. And I'll
say the same thing that I've said several times. Whether
it's like some of the people, the true believers that
went into the Capitol on January sixth, I think truly
(17:17):
believed that the election would be overturned if they just
went in there and did what exactly to who How
would any of that have overturned the election? It wouldn't
like these idiots that were caught like we're going to
kidnap the governor of Michigan. We're going to kidnap her
and we're going to throw her in the trunk and
we're going to abscond with her until we take power.
(17:39):
Like that's not how it works. That at no point
would the people a Michigan go say, well, we don't
have a leader, Well, who's our leader? Well, these guys
must be quite strong. They kidnapped the governor and will
just make them leaders. That doesn't work that way. So
(18:01):
what is it that people are worried about. Here's another
fun one. Seventy eight percent of registered voter survey say
they're concerned about foreign interference in the election. And they
look at this and they say, see, here's a video
comes from Russia. Here's a video showing a guy tearing
up mail in ballots that were had Trump filled in.
(18:23):
The video has got someone going through the mail in
ballots that have already come in and anything that has
the oval filled in for Trump, they just tear it
up and throw it away. They're throwing away Trump votes.
And people go, see, look it's happening. And then they
investigate it and this is just a joke video coming
out of Russia, and people say, oho, Russian interference. Do
(18:44):
you have any idea. I don't know if it's these
guys doing it or if they're inspired by these guys,
but I think the people who do these videos, they're
also the same ones who put the video out. We
talked about the other day of someone claiming to be
a former student of Governor Tim Walla saying, oh, yeah,
when I was a student and he was a teacher.
He touched me. It was also it was fake. I
(19:06):
wonder if the people doing this are influenced not so
much by Vladimir Putin, but influenced by those two popular
wacky morning radio hosts in Russia. Remember these stories. These
guys would call up and they would get world leaders
on the phone, because you call someone secretary, you get
(19:31):
someone else in the line. You're talking to a campaign manager,
and next thing you know, they're like, it sounds legit.
They're Russian, And next thing you know, you've got here's
two of the best things these guys ever did. One
time they got Adam Schiff, the congressman from California on
the phone, Adam Shiff with his giant eyes, who went
on CNN every day and said, I've seen evidence of
(19:52):
Russian collusion. And then you come to find out he
was talking to these idiots. They're wacky warning radio show host.
They're not so much KGB operatives as they are Todd
and Tyler. So they got Adam Schiff on the phone
and they said, we have pictures, naked pictures of Donald Trump,
(20:13):
and shifts like, tell me more. It's all a prank.
These guys are the jerky boys of Russia. Another great
one is they got the Prime Minister of Canada on
the phone, Justin Trudeau, and they had a kid in
there playing the part of Greta Thunberg, like just chewing
them out for not doing enough on the climate and
(20:36):
making all kinds of crazy demands. It's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I all have to look at that.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
It's hilarious. I don't speak Russians. I don't know how
all of it goes, but these guys are hilarious. I'm
not a huge fan of prank phone calls. I love
me some old jerky boys, but I think that what
you're seeing here about Russian collusion, it's not Trump and
putin war together. It's these guys wanting to be Frank
(21:02):
Rizzo rizz O. That's a jerky boys reference. So that's
the foreign interference in the election I believe we're dealing with.
Are people smart enough to see it for what it is?
Is it changing anyone's vote? I don't know. A week
to go and then we can concentrate on not just
(21:23):
the fallout from this election. But remember, for those of
you who are like, ah, you have all this build
up for the election and it's over no, no, no.
The Omaha City elections are in the spring. We have
that to look forward to. That'll be fun, right
