The Ryan Gorman Show podcast presented by Farah and Farah
Accident Attorneys, Tapature.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Morning use fixed starts here. The Ryan Gorman Show.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Yesterday morning, we were talking about Abdul l Siam, the
Democrat who won the Michigan Senate primary race, and I
was talking about how, you know, watching him after he won,
do these interviews make these speeches. He's a performer and
I don't think Republicans should underestimate him.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
His positions, I.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Think are extreme, and I think a lot of Americans
would say the same thing. But he could put on show,
and those types of politicians they tend to do well
in our current political environment. Dana then chimed in and
said that he's hot.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
He is, he's a good looking guy. I mean, I
don't like his policies at all, but I can see
why that would probably help him with some who to the.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Left women voters could be right in his wheelhouse. And
that led to some reaction. This is what one of
our listeners had to say, Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Dana, how would you say that on air? You just
made this guy so much more popular. This is what Julie,
who was listening said, Dana's not.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Wrong, Lsie.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
It is not hard to look at. Yeah, he's not.
I don't like him.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
He wouldn't get my vote, but he is a good
looking guy and that can help.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, he's got that going for him.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
And he's going up against Mike Rogers, who you know,
if you're Mike Rogers, I think you keep putting out
those AI generated imagery.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
I generated, Mike Rogers might have a chance regular you know,
granddad Bud.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Mike Rogers not so.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Much the AI generated image of him looking like the
Incredible Hulk that his campaign put out. So the Hillsboro
County School District reversed a change to the dress code
that would have made girls cover up leggings and span
dex to Middie, there was a bunch of blowback to that,
But Dana, you thought it was a good idea because
you said girls dressed like slutsy saves.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I actually did not say that. Those words did not
come out of my mouth. So you and the people
commenting on our Instagram putting words in my mouth that I.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Did not say. What was your position? Specific position?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
So I think that a lot of girls are fine
with the leggings. Some of them do dress provocatively, okay,
And they know what they're doing. When they dress that
way with the crop top things that are too short,
they're showing off way too much, and they know what
they're doing.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
And you were in favor of them.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
It was in favor of the new rule because it's
one of those things where the few who just can't
do it right ruin it for the rest of the girls.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
So Kathy said, I totally agree with Dana.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yes, Amanda agreed with me.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Amanda said, leggings can be worn modestly. It's wild to
me that schools, by me have a dress code on
how short dresses and shorts can be at the volleyball uniform.
Shorts for games might as well be underwear, like, oh,
you can't wear if that short at school, but go
ahead for public games. Make it make sense. I think
it's a little bit different as sporting events.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
It is a little bit different when you're playing sports.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yeah, Steven said, who the hell is Dana to tell
anyone what to wear?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I'm not, Actually i'm not.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
And then you got into it with someone on Instagram
who said you were victim blaming.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Yeah, nobody's a victim here, and she's conflating the old
thing about you know, a woman must have asked for
it if she gets raped and she was dressed provocatively.
With me talking about how sixteen year old girls dress
when they go to school. If they're dressed inappropriately, nobody
is a victim here. I'm not talking about if the
girl was attacked. I'm talking about what she's wearing to school.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Right right, So again Dana's message to all you girls
out there, don't dress like a sack.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I didn't say that.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
We got lots of reaction on a couple of time
that we've talked about. This morning in the six o'clock hour,
we were talking about this report that President Trump told
donors in a private meeting that they need to start
getting behind Vice President JD. Vance for twenty twenty eight,
and we asked the question, if you had to vote
in the Republican presidential primary today, would you vote for Vance,
(04:21):
Rubio or Governor DeSantis? And this is what one of
our South Florida listeners have to say, Hi, Ryan, Dana,
great show.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I would vote for Rubio.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
This is what a listener in the Tampa Bay area said.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Okay, I like JD.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Vance vice president. He's a very nice man, but nice
is not going to get it. And also, you know
when you throw the religion in there. I'm a religious
person myself, but you know, it's just not clicking with
the country at like it should. So for experience, Mark
our Rubio for president and Ronda Santis for vice president,
(05:00):
we gotta win.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I love the difference in talkbacks. One right to the point,
uh great schell vof for Rubia, the other well thought
out answer.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yes, I had a lot to say there. You can
do it either way.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Steven Uh reached out to us from the Tampa Bay
area about our discussion on flock cameras. We were asking
whether or not you're for the use of them or
against the use of them.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
This is what Steven had said.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
For the flock cameras, if you're not doing anything illegal,
he ain't got nothing to worry about.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Well that that one officer's Uh was it ex wife?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
It was the boyfriend's ex wife that was being tracked.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, wasn't doing anything.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I legally got tracked by a flock camera. This is
what Rayner, listening in South Florida said.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Good morning, Bryant.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
I am for and I am against if the police
are going to use that information for their cases. Then
they should have a warrant specifically saying why are they
going to use it. This will minimize the illegal use
of those flock cameras.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Very interesting, Yeah, because it sounds like the officers just
kind of have unlimited access to them. They want to
sign in and take a look at what's going on
with a particular license plate or in a particular neighborhood,
they can just go do that.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I agree with what he said.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah, that's a good point. Although again Ryan, oh oh yeah, Bryan.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah, we don't say your name and that it's your
show often.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
That's right, I mean, we have to say it more. So,
thank you so much for the feedback. July jobs report
is out not greats. Twenty three thousand jobs lost in July.
The expectation was a gain of eighty thousand jobs, and
May and June were revised down by a combined hundred
three thousand. The unemployment rate dropped four point one percent,
(06:52):
but went down for the wrong reasons. Over two hundred
and sixty thousand people left the labor force. That's the
lowest labor force participation since February of twenty twenty one.
So the headline not a great July job support. Let's
get to some of your reaction to a bunch of
different things that we've covered on the show this morning,
and I want to start with Linda in the Tampa
(07:12):
Bay area, who had a comment about the whole cyclosporiasis outbreak.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Good morning, Ryan and Dana. I've been listening to you
about this outbreak of this disease, and I always have
wondered if the Mexican water is not drinkable whenever you
go down there, that's what they tell you. What kind
of water do they use to grow their vegetables. It's
a complete for thought. I just wonder how safe the
(07:39):
vegetables are that come from Mexico. Anyways, Love you guys, bye.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Thank you so much. Lenda, that's a pretty good wind.
They ever thought about it.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
That is a really good question. And I've never thought
about that before either, but it makes a lot.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Of that does Raphael listening to us in South Florida.
He had some thoughts on the dress code controversy that
we talked about for Hillsborough County Schools reversing their decision
to make girls cover up leggings and spandex to middie
and Dana's reaction to that. Here's what Raphael had to say.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
By Ryan and Dana. Dana, I normally side with you
over Ryan, but on this issue of the leggings, when
Ryan said these girls are sluts, and you're saying, oh, no, no, no, no,
I didn't say that, but you go on to say
they dress very provocatively and they know what they are doing.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Doesn't that mean sluts? I think Ryan has a good point.
Have a great weekend, guys. Thank you, Raphael Rafa, he
got you there. That word did not leave my mouth.
I did not call anyone a name.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
I was describing the way they dressed, but I did
not use that word. I'm not calling anyone a name.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
We also got a lot of feedback on the question
that we tossed out, and this has to do with
President Trump reportedly telling donors privately they got to start
lining up behind JD. Vance for twenty twenty eight who
you would rather see as the Republican nominee. Just a
quick vibe check on this, whether it was Vance, Rubio,
or DeSantis, and we got a lot the overwhelming majority
(09:13):
of them for Rubio. Rubio.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
He's level headed and not a Trump clone. Thank you
Marco Rubio.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Of course, I've been wanting him since twenty sixteen. If
the elections were today, I would one hundred percent vote
from Marco Rubio.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Marco's the man. He knows what he's doing, he knows
what needs to get done. The man for the presidency
is Marco.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I mean that was the overwhelming sentiment, not just this time,
but last time when we did a snap text poll too.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah, Marco Rubio on.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
I don't know if anybody voted for anybody else, it
was mostly Marco Rubio.
