Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, dog people, they're better with dogs right the gender
right away.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I'm never good at that. I see a dog like, hey,
who's this guy?
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Like it's a girl, like sorry, right then slip her over,
put her in stirrups.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I don't really care.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Right people have telling you everything about their dog, like
this is Tony with an eye?
Speaker 4 (00:24):
You know?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Is that house?
Speaker 4 (00:25):
She spells it?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Thanks, I was a writer.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Letter when I got back to the house, and tell
her how much I appreciate her sniffing my balls.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
The Comedy of Pat McGahn and he's coming back to Denver,
and I think we should feel honored. He is starting
off his current tour Keep Going at Comedy Work South
here at the Landmark in Greenwood Village. He's been here before,
he's been in studio with me before. He joined us
by phone now here on Ryan Schuling Live. Pat mccam,
thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Ryan, good to hear you man, Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Oh great to have you aboard here.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
And I love this bit because my fiance and I
we just got our second dog. And it's names Diana,
and people ask why is it Princess Diana. No, it's
named after wonder woman because our other dog is Bruce
Wayne for Batman and dog people, you gotta admit, Pat,
even if you are one like I.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Am, they take things a little too seriously.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Yeah, it sounds like you're going pretty far with that.
That is, Ben is awesome. I love it by these
dogs preparing you for children. I like when people say
that we're gonna have dogs first, It's like, yeah, that's
the same thing. I just leave a bowl of food
out for the kids when I'm out of the house,
(01:40):
put some water on the floor. It's the same thing.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I got to turn to you, Pat, though, for advice
on this front, because we, yeah, we are maybe planning
on having kids.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
That's down the road a little bit, but we got
the dogs first.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
And I'd like you, I don't know that that's a
direct comparison or even a tangential one. You have three kids,
you talk about having a dog. I mean, how much
different and more difficult is it with the children's.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Oh man, it's got completely different. Like that doesn't prepare
you a dog like I'll prepare you for children. Let
me let me come to your house and your face
at three in the morning. I'll just come in there
get you up, tell you I need something. No, it's
it's great. Yeah, I have three kids. I'm very excited
about it. Now we're in the summer, which is maybe
(02:28):
worse than school. I feel like I'm doing more driving
because they're all in camps now. Every as soon as
school ends, it's like, all right, I gotta get We
can't have these guys around. Got to get them a camp.
And you'll sign them up for any camp. It's like,
you know, you're just looking through M through F anything
that's available Monday through Friday. You need the MF camp
(02:52):
because you can't you don't want those m efforts around
your house.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Those are the kind of camps you're looking for. Pat
and Agan joining us. He's a comedy It works South
this weekend. It starts Thursday night a seven thirty pm
show there, and then two shows each on Friday and
Saturday nights. If you haven't been to the Landmark at
Greenwood Village and Comedy works there, it's great and there's
a reason why Pat is starting his comedy tour there.
Six thirty pm show on Friday, followed by a late
(03:17):
nine o'clock and then six pm on Saturday, followed by
an eight thirty. We're giving away two pairs of passes
to either of the late shows, so either nine on
Friday or eight thirty on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Pat, let me just go right for that question.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Then I'm looking at your website and this tour and
I see the first dates where there they are it's
Denver for keep going here.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Why did you pick Denver?
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Well kind of just worked out that way. You know,
Denver to me Comedy Works. There's only a handful of
clubs that are felt really special, and Comedy Works obviously
the original one down town and on the one in
Greenwood Village just you know, a great club, and the
audiences there are always fantastic. They kind of let you
(04:00):
know what works what doesn't work. And you know, I
haven't been to Denver so many times. I've been there
opening for Sebastian a few times, but it's it's one
of my favorites at market. You know, it's an independently
run club, which is not all that common anymore. Wendy Curtis, who.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Runs Comedy Works, just such a phenomenal job, and you know,
I think most medians that they're listing there top five clubs,
Comedy Works is going to be on everybody's list.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
It should be on yours as well.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
If you live in the area you want to see
Pat McCann, stay tuned for your chance to win those passes.
You mentioned Sebastian Manescalco, and he has become a very
successful comedian in his own right. You guys teamed up
one on tour, sold out Madison Square Garden. I mean,
you're cooking with gas when it comes to the two
of you together there, Pat, will you take us through
when you met Sebastian and when you knew the two
(04:54):
of you clicked had something going and you wanted maybe
to join forces.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Yeah, well those sellouts at the arenas, that's all him.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
You know.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
I'm not even really on the bill, but I'm lucky
to be on the ride. And I met Subashon here
in Chicago. He's from the Chicago area as well, and
we met at Zany's. He was kind of at the
point of his career where he was just selling out
comedy clubs and I met him there. We're around the
same age, you know, grew up around the same time
the same part of the country, and I think that
(05:25):
that kind of you know, we hit the ground running
and he really kind of took me under his wing,
and you know, going with him into smaller theaters than
big theaters and then arenas. He really did a close
view of the trajectory of his career. So it's been
cool and I've gotten to be you know, I get
to be in front of a ton of people, and
(05:46):
you know, they get to become familiar with with my
act and my material, and it's been great.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
His website is Pat McGahn Comedy. You can find it
there that's mc g A n N. And of course
comedyworks dot com is where you can buy tickets for
the weekends worth of shows heading into Father's Day. He
is a father. There's a theme you can find that thread.
Maybe get some tickets for Dad. Stay tuned for that. Now,
Zany's you mentioned this club and I just imagine you
as the house mc trying to hold this all together
(06:14):
as you introduce comics and do a bit of your
own act yourself and working the crowd, it says, is
something that you are especially skilled at, and I got
to imagine at times that gets a little challenging, especially
when people get a little sauced in the crowd for
the late shows. What is your kind of approach pat
to handling an unruly audience and how you keep things
on track.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Well, I'm not sure where you're reading is true. I
just I wrote that bio. I could put anything in there.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yes, you.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
No, I do like working the crowd. And it's funny
because I've been doing that for really since I started
and when you are the House MC, they really encouraged
me to do that. That was hard at first to
talk to people. But now, like you know, crowd work
is so known and so like expected, a lot of
it having to do with the social media aspect of
it all. But I think it's like such a great
(07:08):
way to connect with the crowd, and people seem to
be craving that kind of interaction more than in the past.
And I think it is because it's just a little
bit more of a personal connection. And for me, I
like doing it because and I don't I don't do
it when I open for Sebastian, I don't do it
when I'm the only one with my own show. For me,
(07:30):
it just keeps everything fresh. Every show is different, and
you know, it leads me into you know, some of
the material that I you know, bits have been developed
out of crowd work. So you know, that's something I
really enjoy doing and I'm looking forward to doing that
this weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
His Keep Going tour kicks off this weekend, as he mentioned,
Comedy Works South here at the Landmark in Greenwood Village
and now here we are in the middle of June,
and this tour will take you pat all the way
through early November. I got to ask you about kind
of the title of this tour, keep Going. Is this
your own kind of self motivational slogan to keep going?
As a dad of three kids, what does this mean
(08:09):
to you?
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Well, the last one I had was let's go, which
is I get that. I got that from my kids, Yeah,
which is they're always saying let's go, let's go, and
then they don't go anywhere. They just lay there. And
then I try and get them going, like yeah, let's
go get some dinner, like can't you just pick it up?
And then I come home like, hey, Chick fil A,
let's go. Let's It's like, no, let's win. I went,
(08:33):
you didn't go. So I did the Let's Go tour
and then I thought, you know what, let's just keep going.
And I think it applies to to a lot of
people's attitude right now, with the world the way it is,
you got to just chin up and keep looking forward,
keep looking at it. And you know it kind of
(08:54):
adds a little bit of that flavor too. It so
kind of rang true to me. It's to play on
the last one and it's uh, I think it just
kind of fits the time.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
And it starts tomorrow night, Thursday. That's a seven thirty
PM show, it does.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Are you ready, Pat, Yes, I'm ready. I'm ready. Two
shows on Friday, and I checked into my flight.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Good good, one step at a time. Friday two shows
six thirty and nine. Saturday two shows six and eight thirty.
Your chance to win passes to either of the late
shows coming up in just a moment, Pat, Just for
the people listening out there who are thinking about coming out,
let's close the deal. Tell them what they're going to get,
what they can expect, what you're going to deliver for them.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Well, you can come with anybody to one of my shows,
I think, you know, bring a date, bring family, bring
your kids. I mean, I'm Cleanish, you know, I don't
see anything that I wouldn't say in front of my kids.
And maybe with a few exceptions, but you know, I
think the live experience right now is what people really
(09:55):
are responding to. And maybe you don't realize you need it,
but you out. And as I mentioned, every show's a
little different. I try and connect with every audience in
this unique way. And you know, you can see a
lot of my stuff on socials. I got a bunch
of stuff on my Instagram feed if people want to
get more of a flavor what I'm doing, but I
(10:17):
think they'll be happy with the show. And I'm looking
forward to meeting a lot of new people and I've
gotten some notes that people are coming back out, so
it's going to be a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (10:26):

Speaker 1 (12:23):
A bounce around the student, I don't think of I'm
paying attention.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I will.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
I've had a few things I've got to do before
dance show.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I thought you were gonna say you had a few
drinks you had to do.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
I did not.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Okay, Well maybe it's time to get into.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
The bag, baby, Kelly. Kelly, I'll be coming through your
texts at five seven, seven, three nine for those correct answers.
We know a lot of people had a lot of
fun at Henry Show last week. And if there's anything
that you know about this program, about yours, truly, I
have the highest level of admiration for comedians. I try
to have them on all the time on this show
(12:57):
and have those conversations to bring them to life for
you and to connect you to them by giving you
pass his courtesy of comedy works. I want to give
a tip of the cap to them. And most of
the time these big names come to town and we're
able to make that happen for you.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Let's go to some texts now.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Alexa says, you probably hurt all of George's feeling singular
yesterday when you snubbed him. I hope you feel guilty.
He is a delicate flower sunglasses smiley emoji, Alessa, thank you, okay.
I promise this is not going to turn into what
was the bit with Jimmy Kimmel when he used to
be funny. He would always apologize to Matt Damon at
(13:33):
the end of the program because he ran out of
the time and couldn't get him on.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I promise that's not the bit here. It's not a
shtick or we're.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Not going to have a running kind of joke here
at George Brockler's expense. We will for other reasons, as
Sheriff Steve Reams will support.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And that's another idea. I have gotten it.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
You know what, I'm going to make that happen with
Kelly's help next time. Dan's gone, and it's going to
happen because he's pretty much Johnny Carson these days. He's
got trial at the tryout to try it's got another
trial coming up. We need to have in the studio
at the same time, Sheriff Steve Reims and DA George Brockler, Kelly.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Would that break the radio? Would that break the interwebs?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
It's just nay, could you edge them to be a
great show?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Get your popcorn ready? Yeah, that's all I got to
say on that one. I am efforting, And I know
there are listeners that hate when I say that when
I use effort as avert, but I'm doing it.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I'm doing the work.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Come on, doctor Leo, Marvin Eric the following Eric, I
gotta filter your text. I love you man, You're a
great American. Key point my brother, He says, I just
thought of this stuff. I didn't see any homelessness during
the riots in La. Did you where did Governor Newsom
and Mayor Bess move them to?
Speaker 7 (14:47):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Eric Tooche, that is a formidable point that you make.
Speaking of do you want to hear from Gavin Newsom?
Have you missed his voice? Oh god, I got a
look from Kelly Wow. Listen to this one though, just
totally race baiting. This guy is a clown.
Speaker 9 (15:04):
Donald Trump's government and protecting our communities. They're traumatizing our communities,
and that seems to be the entire point.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
California will keep fighting.
Speaker 9 (15:14):
We'll keep fighting on behalf of our people, all of
our people, including in the courts. Just yesterday we filed
a legal challenge to Donald Trump's reckless deployment of American
troops to a major American city. Today, we sought an
emergency court order to stop the use of the American
military now to engage in law enforcement activities across Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
He can't be this much of a moron on a
legal basis. He has no case. The Supreme Court has
said so. The president has this plenary power and authority.
Andy McCarthy. National Review joined Dan yesterday to explain exactly
what was going on there.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Kevin News to.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Me, he's just kind of spitting into the wind here.
Speaker 9 (15:53):
If some of us could be snatched off the streets
without a warrant based only on suspicion or skin color, Oh,
come on, eyes are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting
people who are least able to defend themselves, but they
do not stop there. Trump, and as loyalists, they thrive
on division because it allows them to take more power
(16:15):
and exert even more control. And by the way, Trump,
he's not opposed to lawlessness and violence as long as
it serves him.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
What more evidence do we need than January sixth, it's
a nice try. This guy's cooked so skin color? Huh?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
How about this black woman trying to get to work
being blocked by you guessed it, privileged white coastal liberal
elite liberals the people.
Speaker 7 (16:59):
Why do people feel about stopping a black woman from.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Going to work? Oh no, not work.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
I care?
Speaker 7 (17:10):
So you don't care about stopping black people from going
to work?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Oh no, not work, says the granola, greasy haired, soy latte,
non job having dope who obviously has a lot of
time on his hands and a lot of privilege on
his hands to block traffic and stop a black woman
from going to work. So Kevin Newsom, spare me the
race baiting. You're full of crap. We've had some of
(17:40):
the same garbage happening here in Denver, and thankfully it's
been kept to a minimum. Heard seventeen arrests by Chad
Bauer top of the Hour. We're mimicking, we're copying, We're
trying to mimiograph what's going on in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
But it's been quiet so far.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
We'll see what George Brockler DA in the twenty third
has to say about all of this when we come back.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I promise he'll join me on Ryan Schuling Life.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
You know, I last worked at FAU in Boca Ratona
in two thousand and seven. How many years ago is that?
That's eighteen my tenure working there? Could vote and I
keep getting these mailings Tia Kraft from this partial retirement
plan that is going nowhere. It's doing nothing for me,
and the same can be held true for my previous
retirement count at Cumulus and Grand Rapids. I haven't worked
(18:29):
there since I was twenty fifteen. So here I am.
You know, I got these moving parts. They're out in
the sky, they're not real, they're not tangible. How do
I pull those together? Well, my second meeting with Trajan Wealth,
Andy Justice showed me the way that I could get
these things on track and headed in the right direction.
I feel so much better, and the peace of mind
I gained is going to set me forward on these
(18:51):
next years on my path to retirement.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I invite you to do the same.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
You can reach out to him his entire team at
Trajan Wealth, whether it's in Greenwood Village right here where
I am, Tech Center, Broomfield, or Loveland at seven two
oh four zero five thirty three hundred. That's seven two
oh four zero five thirty three hundred, and Trajan Wealth
understands the concerns that arise during times of increased market volatility.
We just got the report for May and inflation looks good.
(19:17):
I think the Trump policies are going to work. That's
just my opinion. Though I'm not an expert, Andy Justice,
Trajan Well Wealth they are, and they also understand the
importance of portfolios focused on capital preservation, growth and low
cost investment options. A diversified portfolio. You hear that term,
but what does it mean and what can it do

Speaker 10 (20:08):
The President warned that any protests on Saturday.
Speaker 11 (20:12):
Would be met with force.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Can you clarify what kind of protest President Trump does
support or find acceptable.
Speaker 10 (20:19):
President absolutely supports peaceful protests.
Speaker 11 (20:22):
He supports the First Amendment.
Speaker 10 (20:23):
He supports the right of Americans to make their voices heard.
Speaker 11 (20:26):
He does not support violence of any kind. He does not.
Speaker 10 (20:29):
Support assaulting law enforcement officers who are simply trying to.
Speaker 11 (20:32):
Do their job.
Speaker 10 (20:33):
It's very clear for the President what he supports and
what he does not. Unfortunately for Democrats that line has
not been made clear, and they've allowed this unrest in
this violence to continue, and the President has had to
step in. So if there were peaceful protests on Saturday
for the guilty parade, the President Trump.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Would allow them.
Speaker 11 (20:49):
Of course, the President supports peaceful protest.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
What a stupid question, Caroline love It, leveling a reporter
in the White House press fool?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
What a stupid question.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
A guy that's taken a lot of stupid questions, including
from yours truly at press conferences of his own, joined us.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Now, my apologies. I had to bump them yesterday. I
didn't want to do that.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
George Brockler's the DA in the twenty thirty joins us
in Ryan Schuling Live.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
George, I'm sorry, mag you know off, apologies, that was
a great interview. If I had to be bumped, I'm
glad it was for her. That was a great thing.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah, And I got to get to your first hand
experience with press conferences.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
You've held a lot of these.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Was there ever a moment like Caroline Lovett just had
there where you're like, that's a stupid question, and did
you put voice to words?
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Yeah, Listen, there was a giant press conference I did
about a DUI that should have been investigated and charged
by Aurora PD for one of its sergeants who drank
himself into a stupor nine months before I ever knew
about the case, Sergeant Meyer back at the time, who
was drunk in the middle of the road passed out.
(21:53):
I went through forty five minutes of a PowerPoint explaining
why I think he got away with a crime, but
I'm not able to secuted because of X, Y and Z.
Very first question is from a dude from Denver, right
right in the front row for the whole thing, and
he says, why aren't you prosecuting and how can you
expect people to trust you again? And I'm like, I said, dude,
(22:13):
did you just listen to the ness only five minutes?
Speaker 5 (22:16):
That was the whole thing, man, The.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Whole presentation was that that answer. I think they come
with their answers for their questions predetermined, and it kind
of doesn't matter what you say, So I appreciate those
who call them out.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
George, You've been watching this unfold in LA and I've
got to believe you've had some communication with Sheriff Weekly
about what if what if these protests come to Douglas
County because you've seen things spill over before they emanate
from Denver or Aurora like you just mentioned, and they
spill out maybe into surrounding communities, and you've got to
be prepared for a worst case scenario. Can you walk
(22:50):
us through what that preparation looks like, what you've been
paying attention to. What are some of the determining factors
in enlisting forces and getting cops out in the streets.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
The operational stuff I'll lead to the experts like sheriff
weekly and chiefs of rapis out in Parker. And the
reason I highlight Parker is Parker Days is this weekend.
And one of the groups out there, the Anti Trump
which means I presume anti enforcement of our immigration laws group,
has given notice that they would like to go out
there and protest, but largely because of Parker Days. It
(23:23):
sounds like they didn't get their parking permit thing approved,
So you just don't know what that turns into. But
those men and women, this is not their first rodeo.
They've also seen how failures in this area are portrayed statewide, nationwide.
And I can just tell you haven't worked with these
men and women on a daily basis for a long
time now, they're not in the business of failing and
(23:44):
losing on the street. And what they know is that
if they end up being put in a position where
they have to make and arrest, they're going to be
supported by the district attorney in that decision.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
George Brockler, the DA in the twenty third a much
different world there. I spoke with Representative Brandy Bradley, earlier
Republican from the thirty ninth I know you know her well,
and there's an ongoing debate about home rule in Douglas County.
I just want to get your take on it, whether
you support it or oppose it, or what the pros
and cons are as far as your position as district attorney.
(24:17):
The legal aspect of it, is this a dog that's
going to haunt? In other words, a lot of people
in Douglas County, I would think want to have as
much autonomy as possible from state law that has gone
off the rails to the left. But the practical pragmatic
matter I've talked about with Laura Thomas, who opposed it,
saying it's not going to have the intended consequences that we.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Think or would like it to have.
Speaker 12 (24:38):
What's your take on that, George, Yeah, I don't really
know all the powers that it gives us, but it
doesn't seem to me for me personally, that that is
kind of the sena Quanon issue.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
And the issue is this for me right now, as
a statutory county, and there's sixty of us in the state.
Out of sixty four, you have no right to sue
the state, period, full stop.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
If you're a home rule.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
County, you can't be kicked out of court on standing
because you're now a special kind of entity in the constitution.
So if you're going to lose in court, maybe, but
you at least have the chance to climb in the
ring and throw a punch, And that all by itself
would be enough for me. But I've heard other people say, well,
oh my gosh, oh my gosh, we're going to be
(25:23):
giving too much authority, too much potential power to the commissioners.
And my thought is, well, hang on, think about what
you're saying. That power didn't come out of the air.
It exists right now under the Gold Dome. And what
we're trying to do is to figure out how to
transfer as much of that as feasible as legal to
people that we run into at the grocery store or
out at a parade or at Parker Days, people that
(25:45):
we can influence and have a say over. But nobody
in Douglas County has any influence at all over the
elected officials out of Denver and Boulder who seem to
be driving the agenda under the Gold Dome. This at
least gives us a chance to try to shift some
of that power back here where we live.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
George Brockler DA in the twenty third his take there
on home rule. I want to get your take on
ice enforcement. And I know, George, you took some slings
and arrows from an unlikely source at one point lour
Ingram and she later apologized. I know for that after
a press conference you held addressing whether or not you,
at your level of law enforcement will cooperate with ICE.
(26:23):
But I want to give kind of texture to this conversation.
Play you a couple of clips, have you react to
them in real time as to what we're watching kind
of unfold and play out in Los Angeles, And then
some of the anti ICE protests that are happening here. First,
Harry Enton CNN digs down more into the details. This
is a stunning and yet reassuring statistic. To me is
the son of an immigrant that legal immigrants in this
(26:45):
country have gone far to the right on this issue
in their stance about whether or not illegals should be
present in this country or deported.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
And this is where it.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
All kind of comes together, Cape Paul. When look at
this the net favorable rating immigrants who are here illegally
among immigrants citizens again, those registered to vote in twenty
twenty look at this plus twenty three points on the
net favorable rating, But look at where we were in
twenty twenty four minus six points underwater. So immigrant citizens
have become increasingly unfavorable in their views of those immigrants
(27:15):
who are here illegally.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
So I think it's so.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
Important when we're talking about this debate from a political
angle to separate those out who are undocumented immigrants versus
those who are here legally and those who are citizens
and those who are voters, because that group of voters
has felt increasingly distant.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
From those immigrants who are here legally.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
And so again, when we're talking about this, at least
from a political angle, this is why Donald Trump feels
so comfortable because in fact, amongst the group that you
would think that would be most opposed to this, in fact,
they become increasingly favorable, not just towards Donald Trump, but
towards a Republican point of view on immigration and becoming
distant from those immigrants who are here illegally.
Speaker 10 (27:51):
Now an important baseline to consider as this as this
plays out.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yes, we'll see where we are in a few weeks.
Speaker 11 (27:56):
Yeah, thanks so much, Harry.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
You can hear the disappointment in Kate Boldlands voice there,
But then Harry Enton pointing out, look, legal immigrants, they're
supporting their gung ho on ice, on these deportations, on
seeking these people out. Governor Gavin Newsom trying to make
some political Hey here, let's go to Patrick Bateman from
American Psycho and get his sociopathic take.
Speaker 9 (28:17):
Donald Trump's government isn't protecting our communities. They're traumatizing our communities,
and that seems to be the entire point.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
California will keep fighting.
Speaker 9 (28:27):
We'll keep finding on behalf of our people, all of
our people, including in the courts. Just yesterday, we filed
a legal challenge to Donald Trump's reckless deployment of American
troops to a major American City. Today, we sought an
emergency court order to stop the use of the American
military to engage in law enforcement activities across Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
George, your reaction to that.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Andy McCarthy National Review appeared with Dan Camplis yesterday saying
this is a non starter for Gavin Newsen to pursue
legal action against the plenary power of the executive brand
entered the President of the United States to deploy the
National Guard.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
What is your take on all of this.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Yeah, I agree, I think this is a loser in court.
I don't know that there's any court case that has
tested the exact language of that United States Code section
that the President invoked. But it's pretty clear that the
National Guard is on loan in essence, from the Department
of Defense to each of the states. These are not
the governor's private military to call into action. Now, there
(29:27):
are laws that dictate how and when certain things can happen,
but this particular sub section a sub section two of
that seems pretty clear to me that the President is
going to have the authority.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
To do this.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
I think that there's a real concern about whether passcomatadis,
which is an act that was passed way back in
the late seventeen hundreds, whether or not that could be violated,
but there are also exceptions to that. And by the way,
for folks that are listening, pascomatatus is a thing that
says we will bar active duty military troops from enforcing
(29:59):
state and local laws criminal laws. This to me feels different,
and I imagine that the exceptions that exist under the
law are things that the President's going to pursue. But
mostly this kind of sickens me. And it sickens me
because there is no other aspect of federal law enforcement
where we would see people cheer on, let alone tolerate
(30:21):
the thwarting of the enforcement of that. Can you imagine
people showing up and protesting the enforcement of federal human
trafficking laws, or drug trafficking laws, or any other violent
crime laws. We'd say, what's wrong with you? But when
it comes to immigration, once again, we've seen the left
is willing to carve out an exception for every other
aspect of the rule of law. And until we start
(30:43):
seeing people come out and say I disagree with this,
I hate it. If I were president, I.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Wouldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
But that's the law and we're going to follow it.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
George.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Final question real quick here. We know that there were
seventeen people arrested earlier today in Denver for blocking access
I believe to one of the freeways.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
I'm not sure which one.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
I know this happened before on two twenty five in
your old district and the eighteen. I just want to
ask you this as a hypothetical, based on this Texter saying,
isn't it illegal for a pedestrian to be on the
freeway and the on and off rams part of the freeway?
Just arrest anyone that crosses the limit the line at
the bottom of the ramp. Problem solved? Asking you George again,
hypothetical scenario. There's a bunch of protesters sitting down blocking
(31:22):
C four seventy and traffic.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
How would that be handled?
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Yeah, we're not going to Denver this thing. We're not
going to flush them down the toilet in the name
of the left if and by the way, people should know,
I don't care if this is a protest in support
of illegal immigrants or a protest in support of the
Second Amendment. You walk across a highway and try to
shut it down or our roadways to shut down our city.
Expect to be held accountable.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
That's what the rule of law is.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
This is not about the viewpoint. This is about the conduct.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
George Brockler DA in the twenty third always appreciate his time. George,
thanks for taking the rain check and we'll talk to
you again soon.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Hey timp thanks by, talk to you soon.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
G brock right there five seven, seven, three nine. Closing
out with your text and one more Beach Boys song,
remembering Brian Wilson, gone at the age of eighty two today.
It's one of those deaths that it hits you in
waves punintended. I guess so the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson
passing away at the age of eighty two, his family
announced earlier today. Just iconic in the world of American
(32:24):
pop music, going back to the nineteen sixties. Beach Boys
are the sounds of summer. And I guess if he
had to pass he was suffering from dementia. I know that,
and that's a terrible disease if you've had a loved
one go through it that he die here on the
eve of summer, and his music can be played throughout
this summer of twenty five. As we've been doing on
this program, and we will be doing on the Dan
(32:46):
Kaplis Show to come. Brian Wilson, May he rests in
peace your text at five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
This just in It was handed to my not.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Formerly nicotine stained fingers by Cutty could share off.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
By way of Tony Manis.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
And this is a flyer at the Rapskellion Weirdo fest known.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
As what is this? The No Kings says, Welcome to
the big Tent.
Speaker 1 (33:14):

like a Barnum and Bailey type font.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
No Kings.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
The People's Fair June fourteenth, that's coming up in a
few days here, twelve pm to four pm.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park, fourteen forty nine Lincoln Street, Denver.
Coalition Building is featured interactive exhibits, tabling activities, so much
room for activities. They're going to build bunk beds like
step Brothers, music, games, education, and most importantly people empowerment.
(33:53):
You know, I would like you can't write these people
it in a very totally peaceful If a bunch of
us showed up to this round, I'm just saying I'm
not going myself.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
I'm bored, but not that bored.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
If there were a bunch of Trump supporters, just pro America,
not anti them, not trying to get in their way,
not infringing upon their First Amendment free speech rights, but
just showing up with some Trump twenty twenty four flex,
some DJT gear, showing up, having a good time, bringing
some coolers, you know, having a few cold ones on
a hot day, and maybe outnumbering them. I just think
that'd be fun again, peacefully, we want to have fun
(34:33):
with this.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
We're the fun folks where the fun crowds are fun people.
Are you ready to be empowered? Ryan?
Speaker 1 (34:40):
If I needed this to empower myself, I've got other
problems for Kelly.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
I'm Ryan. Thanks to g Brock. Talk to you tomorrow
