Speaker 1 (00:00):
I would expect more of an uprising about the Democrats
than we're hearing. But they're they're continuing the pain. You're
going to start to see the airport's pair back with
what flights are going to allow. They're going to try
and do this in a in a some kind of
sane way in terms of how it's going to start
to shut down folks, the airlines and the airports. But
now I'm just watching some Senate Republicans are saying, no budget,

(00:23):
no pay, and they're running this bill to say that
none of us in the Senate deserve to be paid
if we can't put a budget together. Democrats have blocked that.
So understand this about your Democrat senators. Not only do
they not care, and they don't look like they're ready
to break and and oh reopen the government until they
get demands that they've put out their addressed or.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Met couldn't address themselves.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
They can't do and and you know it's not even
like the Republicans are trying to negotiate something different. They
just want to keep the status quo while they negotiate.
But no, these guys want to shut it all down
till they get what they want and they want paid
doing it.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
They're going to shut it down.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
They're going to take away the pay of air traffic controllers,
of the members of the military. They're gonna stop Snap,
They're gonna stop all these programs Snap. It's good to
have that kind of screeny, but not their own pay.
And if that isn't I don't know how that isn't
just a deal killer by itself. If you know that
the Democrats want enough power that they're willing to interrupt
people's lives to the degree they are, but they will

(01:20):
not miss a single paycheck themselves and will vote proactively
to protect their own paycheck while they're doing this to
the American people, How is this a real party?

Speaker 3 (01:29):
How is this How is this palatable?

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Well, this is a party, Greg. I think that now
feels energized because of the votes in Virginia, New Jersey,
and New York City on Tuesday. Yeah, and I think
they feel America has spoken and they don't like Donald
Trump and they support us in this shutdown. I honestly
feel because I thought maybe after Tuesday, if the races

(01:52):
were closed, or if we got a Republican win in
one of the states, maybe the Democrats would say to themselves, Okay,
it's time to shut it down, open it up, and
get things going again. But I think this is George
to them up. They're all giddy, they're still giddy with
what happened on Tuesday night, and they're basically saying, you
know what, we've got America behind us. We're gonna stand
our ground. We're gonna inflict as much pain as we

(02:14):
can on you because we know we're winning and we
ain't budget. And I think that's what's going on with
the Democrats.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
It's it's such a it's such a contrived conclusion, because
you're talking blue states, and even in Virginia where that
they you know, they had Youngkin as a Republican governor.
These federal workers work there and and they're they are
left of center, and it's a swamp, folks, it's a swamp.
So yeah, they're mad that the Republicans won't give the
Democrats everything they want to reopen the government. But I

(02:41):
think that if you look at Virginia, you look at
New Jersey, you look at New York City, to say
that because those didn't go Republican, somehow that the America's
with the Democrats here they are crazy to draw that
conclusion because those three Virginia, New Jersey and New York
City do not speak for this country.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah. Yeah, uh, So we've we're gonna be talking about that.
As a matter of fact. Larry Gelwicks, who is in
Thailand by the way, will be joining us in a
few minutes. I'm wondering if he's thinking about it, if he's
gonna be able to get back. We'll have to ask
We'll have to ask him. We'll talk about that a
little bit later on. We'll get an experts thought on
the Supreme Court hearing yesterday on the President's tariffs. So

(03:20):
we've got a lot to get to today, and as always,
we invite you to be a part of the program.
All you do is have to dial eight eight eight
five seven eight zero one zero on your cell phone,
dial pound two fifty and say hey Rod, or you
can leave us a message on our talkback line by
downloading the iHeartRadio app down. I think today Greg should

(03:40):
be partially a day of celebration.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Okay, I'm ready.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Nancy. Nancy is going away.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Shit dingdong. The Witch is dead, The.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Witch is dead, The wicked Witch is dead. Nancy Pelosi
today took to video today and took to social media
to announce that she has decided to retire at the
end of our.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
I will not be seeking re election to Congress.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final
year of service as you are proud representative.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
As we go forward.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
My message to the city I love is this, San Francisco,
know your power. We have made history, we have made progress.
We have always led the way, and now we must
continue to do so by remaining full participants in our
democracy and fighting for the American ideals we hold.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Dear, Yeah, all of it. Greg I got a little
choked up when I heard that.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Well, I'm the music.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
That music was just so moving it it choked me up.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Well, I hope she at least keeps her her stock
trading public so that we at least can keep making
the money she makes. If you watch what she makes,
and I think as a member of Congress she's required
to show some disclosure, you.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Can make it. You can make a boat load.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Following how she got incredible date trader, she gets returns
that full time Wall Street professionals have never seen. And
so you know she's leaving. I hope she throws everyone
a bone and lets us all still watch how she
makes these miraculous.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Way she is now, you know her and the President
have had a wonderful relationship.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
She thinks he's vile. Yeah, she remembered that.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Well, he thinks the same thing. Listen to this.

Speaker 5 (05:21):
I think she's an evil woman. I'm glad she's retiring.
I think she did the country a great service by returner.
I think she was a tremendous liability for the country.
Whether she was an evil woman who did a poor
job to cross the country a lot in damages and
in reputation.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
I thought she was an evil woman who was terrible.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, at least those two see each other. And they
they're not hiding the ball, are they. They both don't.
They don't like each other. And that's and and look,
if you're Nancy Pelosi and you want to socially engineer
this world, and you want to create a cast system,
and you want to take away individual liberties, you're gonna
hate Donald Trump because he's the.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Opposite of that.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
And if you'd like the American dream, and you you
want to be out for the everyday American, the average
Joe and Jane. Yeah, Nancy Pelosi is a big roadblock
for that. So you're not gonna like her either.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
So let's see, I'm trying to figure this out. He's
vile and she's evil. Yeah, yep, that's what, you know.
The most disgusting thing I think I saw her ever
doing she did a lot, was tearing up the State
of the Union speech.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yeah, it was pretty lowberal.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
It was at twenty seventeen, and she stood there with
such disdain on her face and just kept on ripping
it up every page, like this thing is worth garbage
and I'm gonna go and pay any attention to it.

Speaker 6 (06:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
That was just talk about unprofessional.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, and again, you would never the media doesn't digest
these moments in the same way if a Republican Speaker
of the House were to tear apart the State of
the Union speech of a Democrat president addressing Congress and
the nation, that that Republican speaker would never live it down. No,
it would be what everybody remembered that speaker for going
forward and forever. That would be the case. So again

(07:06):
the selective logic applied to the Democrats and the Democrat leadership.
Nancy Pelosi has benefited from that mightily. She's eighty five, honestly, Like,
this is the part problem with this party is that
they they are so old they cannot let go of
what they have, and they've just alienated even the people
that were Democrats not long ago don't want anything to
do with that, with what this party's become. Yeah, that's

(07:28):
why I laughed at if anyone thinks that midterm means
anything other than New Jersey and New York.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
City and Virginia are are blue.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
I mean again, you put the homicidal guy from the
attorney general when he gets elected, that stops being a
serious state election.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
You mean to Bullets Jones.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know it's a that's your new
attorney general.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Good luck with that, Good luck with that. All right,
when we come back, we'll talk about what impact the
changes taking place with flying in America. It's going to
become a real challenge if things don't stop and there's
no sign of the shutdown letting up anytime soon. Larry Gelwicks,
the Getaway Guru, who is by the way in Thailand,
we'll be joining us coming up in a few minutes
to talk about that. That's all here on the Rod

(08:11):
and Gregg Show. It looks like as of tomorrow here
in this country, there will be a ten reduction in
flights all around the country at some major US airports,
including Sallike International. So what impact is that going to have?
And if you're traveling, what should you be doing. We
thought we'd turned to the getaway Guru, Larry Gelwicks with
Columbus Travel, host of the Travel show every Saturday, But

(08:34):
today Larry is in Is it Thailand? Is that where
you are tonight?

Speaker 7 (08:38):
Larry sawadi cup and greeting from Thailand?

Speaker 2 (08:42):
That's the native greeting here.

Speaker 7 (08:44):
Yes, I'm here with a wonderful group of Travel Show listeners.
And then Monday we're off to Vietnam.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
All right. Now, my question is are you going to
be able to get back? Larry?

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Are you on an island? Are we going to get
you back?

Speaker 7 (08:59):
I'm talking to Princess Cruises right now about getting us
back from Vietnam now, just because we're going to be
fined by this is a concern about forty major US airports,
including Salt Lake International, be affected, as you had correctly stated,
about a ten percent cut simply due to the air

(09:24):
controllers and the continuing shutdown of our government, which I'm
sure you gentlemen have talked about. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well
how will that affect? Like, we have about three hundred
and thirty departures out of Salt Lake City on any
given day, sometimes a few more, sometimes a few less,
depending on the frequency in date. But it's about three

(09:47):
hundred and thirty, so that will affect approximately, say, thirty
three flights out of Salt Lake. And it's not just
those that originate in Salt Lake, but it's connecting flights.
Now your question and Rod and Gregg, And by the way,
I love your show.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Thank you love your.

Speaker 7 (10:05):
Second best show on the radio.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Yeah, you are the you are the AETA get Away Guru.
We can't argue with that.

Speaker 7 (10:14):
Travel No, okay, you guys are great. So here's what
to do is go online. You know, if it's Delta Airlines,
which has two thirds of the flights, about two hundred
and twenty departures daily on Delta, they control about sixty
seven percent of the flights out of Sulwick International at
Delta dot com, United America and Jet Blue, whatever airline,

(10:37):
go on their website and don't wait to just before
the flight look at it you know several days, look
at the status of your flight. Uh, certainly the night
before and day of airlines are not They don't want
to wait till the eleventh hour and fifty ninth minute
to cancel a flight. Now, if your flight is canceled,

(10:59):
you do have some federally protected airline passenger rights. In short,
it is a full refund for any unused portion of
your ticket. If in fact you want to cancel, say well,
if you're going to cancel, I'm not going to get
there for.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
The wedding or whatever.

Speaker 8 (11:18):
You have that right.

Speaker 7 (11:19):
You can see all of the rigs at the Department
of Transportation website dot dot gov. That's dot dot gov
and then in the search bar put airline flight cancelations
and delays. So I think it's information. Look at the schedules.
Let's say we're flying Delta Airlines to Lax, Los Angeles.

(11:42):
Look at the schedules, what are the backup flights? And
then check check check regularly the status of your reservation.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
So, Larry, I'm looking at my Delta app right now,
and if I'm looking to if I wanted to go
from Salt Lake. This is just a random example, but
from sal La City of San Diego, Okay, and San
Diego is also on the list of the ten percent
pair back of flights. The app at least is showing
the daily flights that are typically scheduled for a given day.

(12:11):
I don't see any that are canceled right now. I
don't see any that are ineligible to be booked. When
would I start to see that? So I know we
might be not wise to book it right now, but
I would I would think that if these flights were
going to be impacted already, I would start to see
that I wouldn't be able to book that flight.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
Is that a way to know?

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Go to the app and see if a flight has
already been canceled or delayed.

Speaker 7 (12:37):
Airlines are going to cancel close in. They don't want
to say, say you go to San Diego in three weeks.
They're not going to show that as a canceled. They're
hoping that it gets back to normal before that. If
they showed it canceled. Now they're at revenue, They've lost sales.
People do something else. So it's going to be close in.

(12:57):
As I suggested, you know, several days day of day
before check the status.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Okay, so your advice to people, Larry, by the sounds
of it is just keep on checking and check and
check and check and check frequently.

Speaker 7 (13:09):
Right yeah, yeah, uh and yeah, I mean that's exactly right, Rod.
Is it's going to be a closed in cancelation or delay.
They may they may automatically book you, and those who
get the preferred rebooking will those who have medallion status
with each particular airline.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, yeah, and all airlines being affected by this, not
one airline alone, all the airlines are being infected by this, right, Larry, correct, correct,
All right, Larry, great chatting. Thanks for the important information
and safe travels. Do you? Thank you?

Speaker 7 (13:45):
Hey, thanks guys, and I do love your number one show.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Thank you.

Speaker 7 (13:49):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
Such a smart man, Larry, smart man.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
You know everything he does, he does. Larry Gilwigs from
Columbus more smart dog travel joining us on our Newsmaker
line in right, Greg, Yeah, I think we're at this
stage now. You don't know what's going to happen. You
just need to check frequently throughout the coming days as
you prepare to leave.

Speaker 7 (14:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
I was looking, so I was just looking for tomorrow's Yeah,
I was going too far out there and I was
looking what do those flights look like? They looked like
the normal bookings were still available to purchase on the app.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
But I don't know what that you know.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Well, as you mentioned, there was about three hundred and
thirty flights out of Salt Lake each and every day,
and about ten percent of them will be impacted. Right,
all right, We've got a lot more to come for
you as you work your way home on this Thursday
afternoon on the Roden greg Show and Talk Radio one
oh five nine kay nrs. People who voted for Donald Trump.
Young people voting for Donald Trump more conservative, many of

(14:42):
them more faithful, going back to church or willing to
express their faith. I think in large part to the
efforts of Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
I never thought in twenty twenty five we would see
a religious revival, or at least, as you've just said,
the public statements about our savior Jesus Christ, or about
religion generally, whatever it be, talking about talking about the Lord,
I didn't think. I thought we were just a heathen nation, man.
I thought this is a secular society going exactly the
wrong way. But it looks like things are changing. People

(15:15):
are looking to get a little religion in their lives,
as you know, starting to humble up a little bit.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Maybe, well, let's find out what's going on and why.
Joining us on our Newsmaker line is Tim Geiglin. He
is vice president of external and government relations for Focus
on the Family. He's written about this at the Daily Signal. Tim,
how are you welcome back to the Rod and Greg Show.

Speaker 8 (15:33):
Thank you, gentlemen, It's great to be with you.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Tim. What is reversing a decade long trend that we
have men who are now returning to church? What is happening?
Do you feel it's.

Speaker 8 (15:44):
Really remarkable because every time you look, as I do,
at the most reliable American studies. You know, Pew is
one of the most famous, but there are several others.
They break it out demographically, male, female, ages, et cetera,
et cetera, And predictably, year after year, we have seen

(16:08):
essentially a downward trend, I would say, rather aggressive secularization
of a traditionally religious, faith based country. Yet of a sudden,
just in the last few years, there was first a plateau,
no longer a decline, and now a measurable significant uptick

(16:30):
among faith and religious commitments, especially in the demographic of
young American men ages eighteen to twenty five. And it's
not just isn't this interesting, it's really a measurable uptick
to the point, as you rightfully said in starting this segment,
that you could actually say, we are experiencing, you know,

(16:54):
empirically the data show it, we are experiencing a substantial
or Bible among young American men.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
You know, a lot of people when you talk about
something like this, they think, oh, everyone's you know, they're
holy rollers.

Speaker 9 (17:08):
There.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
All of a sudden, you got a bunch of you know,
Bible thumping, you know, just zealots or something like that.
To me, I would say this it's like a road
to Damascus moment. It's assault of Paul's. It's a moment
where maybe life isn't what you thought it would be.
There needs to be some kind of there has to
be more to it, or there needs to be a
hard reset. Do you do you feel like what we're
seeing happening right now, is it really is maybe just

(17:31):
searching for something deeper and more meaningful about life and
our creator versus people are already naturally just more religious
and they're just going to church more.

Speaker 8 (17:42):
Yeah, and by the way, I'm not certain that it's
an either or. I think it might be a both
and not clever because you when you actually when you
read the data, what you find is that, yes, a
search for meaning and purpose in a time where loneliness
has really plague our nation. And yet when you look

(18:03):
at the specific answers of what the data point to,
what you find actually is, if you are eighteen to
twenty five, it's likely that the same demographic we're speaking
about are seeking meaning, faith, religion, marriage, family, parenting, all
of a peace and that kind of validity is a

(18:25):
really remarkable thing to watch. In other words, large percentages
of these young people are saying not only has faith
and religion become a very real thing in their lives,
but it also bridges into these same young men largely
saying they want to be married, they want to have children,

(18:48):
and of course we're living in a time where we
have the lowest fertility and marriage rates in the history
of the country. So the connection to family, marriage, parenting,
now faith absolutely the case, Tim, What.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Has given these young men their mojo? I mean, I
mean for a long time, men in this country have
been beaten up and down, you know, Greg and I
talk about that all the time. What has given them
their mojo back?

Speaker 8 (19:14):
I think it is a very broad and yet I
think a substantial recommitment to masculinity and femininity. I think
we all went through Wokastan. Yes, people have found people
found that in Wokistan, all the spin about the trans
world really did not have any lasting uh you know,

(19:37):
flavor whatsoever and concurrent you know to getting past Wokstan
and the kind of you know, trans moment. I think
what we have seen is a is a kind of
restoration and renewal. I would set actually say, kind of
snapshots of renewal. And it's a remarkable thing to watch.

Speaker 10 (19:59):
Tim.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Always great having you on the show. Thanks for a
few minutes of your time today. Enjoy the rest of
the day.

Speaker 8 (20:05):
Be a good cheer and thanks so much.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
All right, thank you.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
That is Tim gaig Lyin. He is vice president of
External and Government Relations with Focus on the Family, writing
about a story he had today reversing decades long trend,
men are returning to church. I think that's a very
good thing, missus.

Speaker 11 (20:20):
I do.

Speaker 8 (20:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
I think you would agree a lot of people. Even
though the I think prices have moderated a little bit,
they're still high, and a lot of people it's a
big concern. You had some numbers, I think from the
election or somewhere last night where people are saying, prices
for this, prices for that, price for that are going up,
and it's frustrating to them.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
It is, And so yeah, we're seeing we're seeing that
in exit polls where people were asked about what's most
concerning the economy is right, it's front of mind, and
they're pointing to prices of groceries, gasoline, energy, electric electricity bills.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
We're lucky in Utah.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
I will say our gas prices are higher than the
national average and should not be. But I will say
that our I won't press that button, but but I
will say that our electricity costs are below the national average,
and we are very fortunate that our electricity costs are
not as high as some places in this country. All
that said and done, prices most by clear majority, without

(21:22):
regard to party affiliation. People feel they're paying far more
for groceries and other expenses than they were a year ago.
I understand it, and I remember when when this was
happening under the Biden administration that it created nothing but
resentment when when people were feeling it and everyone was saying, well,
you're not sophisticated enough to know to appreciate how good
this economy is doing. But I know that inflation is lower.

(21:43):
I know that nationally, maybe not Utah at sixty dollars
a barrow for crude gas prices are you know, thirty
plus states or at two ninety nine a gallon or less?
Those should be economic indicators. And so it does surprise
me that we're seeing higher costs and we're seeing across
the board frustration about the cost of living and the
cost of groceries and things like that.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Yeah, yeah, well I bring this up because apparently Thanksgiving
meals this year greg are going to be about three
percent cheaper than they were last year.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Guess what what? That's a fake stat really, Queen Bee
walked me through it.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Really.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Guess what what last.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Year they listed like twenty one items for the Thanksgiving dinner.
They've lowered the number of items.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
A ah that they Well, I've got a bone to
pick with, Queen b then, because the story today says
Walmart's Thanksgiving meal cost twenty five percent less. Yes, and
you're saying that's because there are fewer items on that.

Speaker 7 (22:39):
Man.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah, what they said if you went to a Walmart
Thanksgiving dinner, they were there were the price point on
the ingredients or what you would eat for Thanksgiving dinner
was there were more of them than there are today
in this year's comparison.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
And she said that Queen beat needs to be on
this show.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Well, you know, she said, she says, I don't know
who they think they're fooling with that, because it's not
a single one of us that wouldn't look and see
how that could be the case when they don't feel
it as they go into the stores and pay for food.
And it was that the number of items that qualify
as your Thanksgiving dinner, they listed fewer items this year
than they did last year. That's according to Queen Bee.
I'm just, I'm just that's the source saw right away

(23:18):
and Joe me now, so yeah, it was it's now
fifteen items. It used to be twenty one items, it's
fifteen items.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
And that's how the price is. That's how the price
because I've got a story Alda's which we don't have,
but I saw them back. Key, Yeah, Chris, thanks about
Thanksgiving meal costs seven dollars less. Yeah, that's what they're saying.
And then target they're Thanksgiving meal at its lowest price ever.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yeah. I'm to sick.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Queen be on them because she she sees right through
their tricks. This is like a David Copperfield magic show. Okay,
this is all slight of hand. She has got them down,
she's got them dead. To write, she knows the cost
of everything. I hear it every day, I really do it.
It is it's a it's an ongoing discussion in the
hues home about the cost of groceries and of everything,

(24:02):
and it's and it's not gone down, and people feel it.
And the indicators that we should see by way of inflation,
gas prices, we should see it. I will say this though,
scary numbers for layoffs, maybe the highest layoffs numbers since
two thousand and three.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
That is not a good sign.

Speaker 7 (24:18):
So that is a.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Worry and our company is blaming it on AI or
is there something more to it than that.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
That's part of the narrative.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
Some people are saying it's it's scaling back, but some
are saying that AI is replacing some of that workforce
and that's why when you see that guy that owns
chat GPT say, I want the government to guarantee our debt.
So wait, you're taking away our jobs potentially, and you
want the government to guarantee you That's a good gig.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
If you can get it.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
You can get it.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
Thank you, all right?

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Coming up in the five o'clock hour, I am going
to share an experience that I had today. In this
experience and it happens, I bet it happened, happens to
a lot of people. But it's an experience that annoys
the you know what at it? Okay, it drives me
the wall when this happens. And there so we may

(25:04):
you can share one of your annoyances, but we may
open the phones up to one.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
What time I ran about everything?

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, yeah, but we may open up the phones to
you and talk about life's little annoyances, the things that
just drive you nuts. I got my list, I got
my list.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
What drives you crazy?

Speaker 7 (25:23):
Folks?

Speaker 1 (25:23):
We're gonna find out. We come back in a five
o'clock hour.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Stay with us. We mentioned before, you know, we took
a break, got you caught up on the news of
the day with Abby talking about life's little annoyances, and
I ran into one of them again today. And I
know you have several your list is longer than mine.

(25:47):
But let me explain what happened today and see if
this annoys you as much as it did me. So
I'm good, kind of in a hurry. I need to
get a sandwich, right, and something to drink for lunch today.
And I pull into a I pull into a drive through. Yes,
now this is I think this is one of two
fast food restaurants that do a very good job at

(26:10):
moving people through.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Yeah, chances are folks you have been to this a
fast food restaurant.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Probably it was Chick fil A.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
Okay, okay, it was Chick fil A, all right, it's
a free promo.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Oh yeah. Well the other one that moved you very quickly,
I think is in an outburger.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
You think me?

Speaker 2 (26:26):
I think.

Speaker 7 (26:26):
I think.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
I thought McDonald's has it down.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Well, they may. I don't go to McDonald's that much.
So so I'm pulling into this place in a kind
of a hurry, a little bit of a hurry, right,
And there's a car in front of me, and I say, okay,
and I wait and I wait and I wait because
the people in the car apparently cannot decide what they

(26:50):
want to eat.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
And here's a problem with that.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
And I agree with you, and when you described it,
I share your frustration because at a very at a
well traveled and much frequented fast food plates, you pretty
much know the menu. You're not asking for the soup
of the day. You're not asking what the special is
going to be, you know, So how you get to
that board or that nice person waiting to take your
order and you're just like, well, do you think it's

(27:15):
a should I get the nuggets? Or should I? What
kind of sauce do I want? Can you tell me
what the sauces are getting? If you got to do
all that, go inside. The whole concept of drive through
is to exit. Click, Yeah, you gotta get going. You're
on a timer, let's go.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
Time to move.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
So I could tell that because the person who was
trying to get their order in kept on showing them
the menu here, the drinks here, you can get this,
you can get this. I'm going folks, I mean, this
can't be your first time to Chick fil a. Maybe
it was yeah right, or they couldn't make up their mind,
And I bet we waited five to ten minutes for

(27:53):
that order to go through, and I'm going, what you know,
when if you're going to a fast food drive through place, right, ye,
shouldn't you know what you want before you get there?
I mean, I don't mind if you have to take
a look at the menu, you don't get an idea,
but to take that long and try and decide, well,
I mean I actually saw one of one of the

(28:14):
people in the car ahead of me. I won't say
who it was, but it was a woman kind of
scratching her head going I don't know. You know, you
could almost read I don't know what I want.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Just pensive and you know, just just hold it, just
grabbing their fist, just don't know, scratching their head.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
I don't know, I want this? Do I want? Yeah?
Gotta hurry so that okay, I gotta hurt so that
That is one of to me life little annoyances. If
you're going to a drive through and it's fast food,
hopefully you know what you want before you get there,
or pretty close to what you want.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
Yeah, that's so, that's okay, it's called fast food.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
What my family will tell you is that that I
have I have extra stress when I go through a
drive through and this is this, this is my big fear.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
I got phobia.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
It almost it almost verges on a phobia.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
But sometimes I just like Queen Bee order from the
passenger seat because I don't want to go through the
ordering because of this. Sometimes when you're talking into an intercom,
it can sound rude what you're saying when you don't
mean to be rude. But if you sound rude to
the person on the other end, they might spin your food,
they might use, they might make they might you might

(29:26):
make them mad. And I don't want to make anybody
on the other end of that intercom mad because I
don't want to messing with my food. So I try
to be nice. So you pull up to some of
these places and they have the pre recording Are you
going to be app? And I go no, And I think, oh,
that sounded rude. No thank you, no, thank you. Not really,
I don't have the APP, so I don't. I start

(29:47):
finding myself explaining myself why to the recording. I don't
want to use it because I don't want to sound rude.
And then if you got kids in the car, you
got someone and they're like, I'm at fried sauce. They
start screaming. You think that the person that's taking your
order might I think you're screaming and you're trying to
keep them all quiet because you don't. You got to
order it calm. You gotta be nice and be polite.
And then, for the life of me, I don't know

(30:07):
why this is a case, but when they say in
your name Greg Ray, Greg Craig, Yes, whatever name you'd
like to have me, I will go by that name.
I will take whatever name you said. I don't want
to correct you a third time because I don't want
you to sabotage my meal. Yeah, and I mean they're
probably very nice people. I don't know why I have
that worry, but I do worry that if you sound rude,

(30:30):
you might get someone that you know, yeah, you know
goods back at you. And I so I it's very
heady for me.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
I don't like it. And this is another little annoyance
that I have. Okay, and it deals with fast food again. Okay,
and my wife, if she's listening, my wife will laugh
at this. Why is it? Whenever I want to go
to a fast food restaurant, Okay, and I'm in a hurry,
I've got to get something to eat really quickly. Okay,
And I'm there and there are three or four cards
ahead of me still on the highway, haven't turned in yet. Yeah,

(31:00):
all of them turn into the same restaurant. I'm going
to the same fastor so.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Then then that's that many deep into the drives through
there in front of you.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
I'm thinking, oh, there's somebody there. I'll get in. The
next five cards in front of me all turn into
the same restaurant and I'm pulling my hair out.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
Yeah, yeah, no, that happens. That happens all the time.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
A pet peeve pet peeve of mine, totally unrelated to
a fast food is the family photo where they want
you to take your shoes and socks off, which I
find disgusting, or they want me to lay on the ground,
of which I will not do. I'm not gonna lay
on the ground on a family photo, and I'm not
taking the shoes and socks off. If you just got
to get out of that, I don't know where that
started in the family photo. You know, industry, but I

(31:40):
cannot stand it.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
You hate bear feet. It's gross because I wore that
like this summer and you wouldn't even look at my feet. Now, yeah,
you wouldn't look at me.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
I like closed toed shoes. I like them.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
You don't wear sandals?

Speaker 1 (31:51):
No, but you know I got those seductions I got.
I got beach shoes that have closed toes and they're
totally cool.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
What do you out against toes?

Speaker 3 (31:57):
I want to see people's feet, Peter disgusting.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Shall we hear from you?

Speaker 7 (32:03):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, yeah, feet aren't bad. I have the perfect foot,
so I don't you know I've got.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Don't flatter yourself, right, I wears flip flops in here,
and I'm filing one of those you know, workplace harassment
foot because it's so horrible.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
All right, your calls, the little annoyances that you've faced today,
or any date eight eight eight five seven eight zer
a one zero triple eight five seven o eight or
a one zero on your cell phone dial pound two
fifty and say, hey, Rod, leave us combat a comment
on our talk back line.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
And you're comment about being a Chick fil A and
being in front of people that can't decide.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
The takeaway is this it's chicken or chicken, not hard.
I can't. I could not agree more. You're a Chick
fil A.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
It's chicken.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
I think it's chicken on the menu or chicken. It's
chicken or chicken. I just don't think you have to
fuss over this there very long at that point.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
All right, we're we're it's kind of like a therapy
session for people today. They're driving home, they've been annoyed
by something today. They want to get it off their chest.
So that's what we're allowing you to do. Give us
a call eight eight eight five seven eight zero one
zero on your cell phone dial pound two fifty and
say hey Rod or on our talk back line by
downloading the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Let's go to the phones. Let's go to Robin and
Santa Quin. Robin, thank you for joining us here on
the RONN Great Show. Share with us something that just
gets under your skin a bit, something you need to
get off your chest.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
We're here for you.

Speaker 12 (33:28):
Thank you so much. I have actually two quick ones,
and both of them have to do with good old
fashioned manners. Number one, when you go to a parking
lot and you go to park, there are lots of
parking spaces for a handicap person, Yes, except how often
do I see a handicapped person take another spot? That's

(33:52):
a great parking spot when all the handicapped spaces are open.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
Wow.

Speaker 12 (33:56):
Number one. Number two is yes, yes, And number two
is when you go to the gas station. You've waited
in line for your turn to go to the gas station,
and when you finally get up, it's your turn to
go to the pump next, and the person in front
of you finishes pumping their gas and then they get
into their car and they sit in the car and

(34:17):
play on their phone.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Yeah, that would drive me crazy. I haven't thank you, Robin.
I've had that happen. Just like if you're Christmas shopping
and you're trying to get into so you see you
put your turn singlo because you can't find a space anywhere,
and you see someone get in the car and then they.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
Just said and they said, And then it's like, what
are they doing?

Speaker 2 (34:36):
We'll see My wife will say if we're doing that, weird.
Oh just wait, they're coming, and I go, how long
do we have to wait until they back out? You're right,
ye are waiting.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
There's no spaces.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Someone's walking in their car, they get their bags, you
hit the turn signals, some people behind you go around you.
You're waiting and they don't pull out. It drives me crazy.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Back to the phones we go. Let's go to West
Point here. What Mark has to say tonight, Mark, how
are you welcome to the therapy sets with robbing bray?
How are you Mark?

Speaker 8 (35:04):
Hello?

Speaker 13 (35:04):
Gentlemen?

Speaker 14 (35:05):
The kailude should kick in after this.

Speaker 9 (35:09):
I was number two Adam McDonald's behind.

Speaker 10 (35:12):
A lady solo in the car. This should be great.
I have my window down, her windows down.

Speaker 7 (35:18):
She makes her order and I'm.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Like, all right, go.

Speaker 13 (35:20):
Then she picks up.

Speaker 14 (35:22):
Her phone.

Speaker 9 (35:24):
And starts reading to people on the.

Speaker 14 (35:26):
Other end what is on the menu, ordering them one
by one, and I thank god there was two lanes.
I just left went to Harvey's.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
Yeah, that's it. Mark.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
I'm just so happy you're here with us to share
that story. That's a that's a hard one. I would
drive me crazy. He Ray shared with this, this probably
happened to you before lunch hour. Always busy at fast
food places, right, And he was talking about thinking I
think it was a subway.

Speaker 8 (35:56):
Right.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
He goes into order, the person in front of it
is ordering it for like twenty people.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
Yeah, and it's tough about e Ray story is you
know subway is one of the one places where it's
not a quick order because you get to pick your
you're a man, you get to pick the tomatoes that lettuce,
the onions ever that. So you got one guy in
from you, it's like, okay, there's just two.

Speaker 3 (36:15):
Of us in here. It's gonna be great.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
It'll be quick.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
The man pulls out like a Christmas list, you know
that Santa's holding with all the kids that are good,
and it's just this long list of all these different
sandwiches with different things they want on it.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
That would that would drive me crazy.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Can't you order ahead and have that ting? Don't wait
till you get in the restaurant, order online ahead, then
it's usually ready for you.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Yeah, no, it's totally true.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
All right, let's go to John and Sandy. John, how
are you welcome to the Rod and Gregg Show.

Speaker 9 (36:42):
Hey, Rodding Gregg, great show.

Speaker 10 (36:44):
Appreciate you.

Speaker 9 (36:44):
I'm a daily listener, my number one pet Peeve, and
I gotta say I feel like I'm a pretty cool customer.
But when I see somebody litter, I get pretty quick
onto deaf com fifteen.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
On that show.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Yeah that's illegal, but I.

Speaker 9 (36:57):
See even it's just a cigarette butt or a can
of a beverage cup or something. Boil boy, put me
right put you right there. That I just I just
can't take.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
It as they should. I don't see it happen as
much anymore, but when it does, you it's very annoying.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Back in the seventies, I used to everyone used to
see it, like we all. And then they had that
commercial with the you know, the Native American who's crying
as he's looking the freeway. That it really touched me.
I'm here today, you know, fifty years later, still remembering
that commercial.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
So had an impact.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
Yeah, it bought me from littering.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
The things that annoy you. Back to the phones we
go eight eight eight five seven eight zero one zero.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Okay, let's go to Zane and Ogden. Zaye, thank you
for holding. Welcome to the Rod and Greg Show. We're
here for you. Let's just get it off your chest.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
What do you think it's been letting go?

Speaker 15 (37:45):
Yeah, I'm a hazardous waste transporter for a living, and
I'll be driving down the freeway with a few thousand
pounds of acid loading and loaded in the back of
my truck. Have a nice bit of space in front
of me from the car and front of.

Speaker 8 (38:00):
Me just in case.

Speaker 10 (38:01):
So nothing happens, and it's.

Speaker 15 (38:02):
Always some nicer sports car somebody who thinks that they're
in a hurry will cut me off and slam on
their brakes to make their exit. And that drives me
absolutely crazy every time. Also, though, a little update on
something that drives you crazy as well, everybody, but especially you,
Greg is gas prices in Springville right now, there were

(38:26):
three gas stations that were below three dollars.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Wah, gallon, whoa.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
And what are they up here? Saying? Where and what
are you seeing up here?

Speaker 15 (38:37):
Three twenty six? As I said the last time I build.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
Up, I'm telling you it Springville.

Speaker 15 (38:43):
They got to ninety eight and two ninety five of
at two gas stations, So you're close to Springville. It
might be worth the drive to get the gas.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
I love he thank you for that update.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
And that is a pet I'm telling you that's when
we all together as an audience and as your host,
we are not Can I give this one up? Because
I'm telling you we are. We should not be seeing
these prices this way.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
We shouldn't.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
We have all the infrastructure for lesser the lower cost fuel.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
Offer some advice that people are driving and you're near
a big rig. Give them some space, give them some time,
you know, Treat the big rigs nicely because you may
need them someday.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
Yes, they're always very You don't want those things crashing, No,
you do not.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
All right, we've got a lot more calls, a lot
of our talk back comments coming up right here on
the Rotting Greg Show and Talk Radio one O five
nine k n RS.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
You know, there's other little subtleties in life that can
tend to weigh a little more than they should. But
that's why we're here. We're here to get it off you.
We want you to get it off your chest, as
we have done hours. Let's go to Chris, who's on
I fifteen at the moment. Chris, Welcome to the Rotting
Greg Show. Uh, what what is it that?

Speaker 3 (39:47):
What? What do you need to get off your chest? Chris?

Speaker 11 (39:51):
One of my biggest pet peeves is the constant and
mindless use of the word like like.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
You mean like like you mean like you mean this Christ.

Speaker 11 (40:05):
Exactly, if someone says I'm like driving my car down
the road, you know, I want to stop and say,
are you actually driving your car down the road? But
it's it's her basic out there and it drives me nuts.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
I agree with you guy my car and I'm like
I'm doing and I'm like, I'm like, He's like I
don't know, and I'm like, why don't you And he's like,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Can I tell you another annoyance? He prompted me to
think of something else. And I don't know what it
is about the younger generation. But if you go to
a restaurant or somewhere and someone waits on you, you say
thank you, they go, of course, you notice that that
doesn't bug me, It doesn't bug you. Thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
Of course, well you're welcome.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
Of course.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
Maybe it's you know, maybe you got to get him,
maybe you gotta be more hip and it okay, of course,
like why don't you like?

Speaker 2 (40:56):
Of course? Of course, like you know, like of course,
all right, we've got some comments on our talk back line. Eray,
go ahead and play one of those for us. Wait
a minute, So I got one? Okay, you got one,
always got one.

Speaker 15 (41:08):
Good people who don't like a subject matter on a
radio station and call to complain about it rather than
just shutting off the radio, like this guy.

Speaker 16 (41:18):
You're talking about feet Obviously it's a very slow news day.
Maybe you might want to pivot to something that's a
little bit more interesting.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
That's Brian and Bluffdale. I bet he's fun at party.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Thank you for the shout out. Yeah, look, it is
not a light news day. But sometimes you just laugh
instead of cry.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
That's all you know.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
Sometimes you just you know you are you're going to
have some other issues you want to just share. This
audience is great. This audience, there's no lack of people
that kind of are picking up what we're putting down
to a lot of people are feeling it like we do.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
So that's why we're here.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
We're going to talk about it. Have you got another
one on there?

Speaker 9 (42:01):
Rings?

Speaker 17 (42:03):
My little annoyance are is people who wear socks with sandals, yes,
or socked with crocs like in Greg's case, or crocs
in general. Yes, Greg's all of those crop guys, isn't he.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
No, not a croc. I don't wear crocs. I actually
showed Rod the kind of shoes I wear. They are
not are not sandy clothes foot they're not, but they're
not the plastic shoes.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
They're not those rubber shoes. Yeah, I don't I don't.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
I don't wear I never wear crocs, but I wear.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
This is a great sandal. You can wear us on
a beach and everything. But they've closed toe. You don't
have to see people's feet. But but yeah, I think
wearing socks with that is totally annoying.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
With any type of sandal. Yeah, with any type of sandal.
They used to it all the time.

Speaker 3 (42:47):
Yeah, No, I can't stand that. Yeah, I think he's right.
He he spotted a good one.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
Yeah, we got another talk about coming ring. I think
we do go ahead.

Speaker 9 (42:54):
People who drive with their high beams on in traffic
at night should be shut on site.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
Yes, it's very dangerous too.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
All right, one more, Hey guys, my little annoyance is major.

Speaker 7 (43:12):
Anyway.

Speaker 14 (43:13):
No, I really ate it when somebody pulls out in
front of you and goes slow, especially when there's nobody
else behind you.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
You do it all the time, Yes, they do.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
I'll tell you the thing that's I say. I think
it's post COVID. I don't remember this being a traffic
habit like I do now. If you are in a
right hand lane and you missed or are about to
miss the left hand turn turning on your turn signal
with thirty feet to cross three lanes, come to a
complete stop, and then just keep trying to edge over

(43:45):
because you're gonna miss your turn. You missed it, you
got to go past it, you gotta come back, make
it the other way. But they look, they just stop
everything and then they just try to edge over with
no space to do it, and everything has to stop
while they're trying to do it. I don't remember that
being common practice. I see it all the time.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
Yeah, people do that.

Speaker 9 (44:04):
They do that.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
It's inconsiderate, Yes it is, Yes, it is all right.
We've got more of your calls and comments coming up
this kind of like get it off your chest hour.
If something's really bugging you, annoying you, you call us
right now, and we're the we're the therapists.

Speaker 3 (44:17):
It started with your rent about your your life from
the Yeah, it just.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
Went from there. Hey Rob, how are you. I'm good, buddy.
How you guys doing well? What's on your mind?

Speaker 6 (44:27):
That's good?

Speaker 7 (44:29):
Well?

Speaker 6 (44:30):
You know how when road construction is going on and
two lanes merge into one and the traffics, anybody would
common sense wants to get through it pretty quick, and
they're getting in line. Long before the you know, the
merge hits. And then you got the people that speed
up on the right lane and they go cut in

(44:50):
front of everybody up there and they put their blinker on.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
Yeah, I'm with you.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
I you know, it's it's one. It's it's one car
after the other.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
If you everyone just starts doing it one by one,
everybody gets out, everybody merges, traffic moves that.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
He is exactly right, Rober Alright.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
So I have a question on that. Should you as
soon as you see the sign that you need to merge,
do you do it right away? Or do you wait
till you get to the sign?

Speaker 14 (45:17):
No?

Speaker 2 (45:18):
Yeah, well you do it right now? Da right away? Yeah, okay,
I've always wondered that.

Speaker 10 (45:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (45:24):
I used to love having it. I used to have
a dually in a duley truck, a big Chevy.

Speaker 7 (45:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (45:29):
I used to cut and take up both lanes.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
People starting to do that, Rob, I was just gonna say,
people do that.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
I've seen I've seen wheelers pull out there and keep
people from just you know, jamming it all up at
the at a bottleneck at the you know where it merges.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Good, good one.

Speaker 8 (45:46):
I like that one.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
Okay, let's go to Andrew, who's on I fifteen. You
know he's he's in the traffic right now. Andrew, Welcome
to the Ronn and Greg Show.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
Hey, how are you guys doing well? Thank you?

Speaker 13 (46:00):
So mine is people that install aftermarket ultra bright headlights.
Those cheap led headlights stay on bright all the time.

Speaker 3 (46:10):
Yeah yeah, my retinas wear long sleeve shirts.

Speaker 13 (46:15):
Oh and people that wear long sleeve shirts under short
sleeve shirts.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
All of a sudden, I think, oh, I might wear
a long sleeve shirt a short sleeve shirt.

Speaker 18 (46:29):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
Andrew, my co host, does that quite often. I think
he thinks he's like eleven.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
I don't know what it is. I like the T shirt.
It's a little too cool for a T shirt, but
a cold outside.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
But darn it, I'm a I'm a I'm someone that
I haven't been of all the things we've been sharing
I have shared, and all these annoyances.

Speaker 3 (46:48):
Now I was I'm the subject of one that's terrible.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
Yeah, all right, back to the bones. Let's go to
Cash Valley.

Speaker 8 (46:53):
Here.

Speaker 2 (46:54):
What Dave has to say tonight? Dave, how are you
welcome to the show.

Speaker 9 (46:58):
I'm doing good? And that was gonna tell you one thing.
But now I think my peeves are some of the
people that just called in, especially especially the guy that
straddled the merge lane really kind of stupid. But I

(47:18):
have to say though that, well, the other thing, or
the headlights, what pees me are the people who think
you're driving with your brights on and they flashed their
brights that you, and then you really flashed them with.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
A flashing war.

Speaker 5 (47:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (47:35):
The thing I called in about, though, is what pees
me is what I call face shrapnel. The younger generation
thinks that these face piercings look so great, and it
really bothers me when I say, a really pretty young
woman who otherwise would be very pretty, but I think
that she's enhancing her looks by having nosed studs. And
particularly my biggest pet peeve is that horseshoe shaped thing

(47:59):
that goes through the septim of the nose sticks down.
They can not expect you to look at that and
focus on that instead of their whole face.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
He read my mind.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
I was gonna say what he was doing to say,
how do I I'm trying not to stare, I'm trying
to make eye contact, but I see these up in
the eyebrows and I see it on the nose and
I just want to stare and go what is on?
But I try to make eye contact because I don't
want to keep it's distracting. Well, my question is, if
you have one of those nose rings, how do you
blow your nose?

Speaker 3 (48:29):
I don't know how any of that were.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
It's just it's it's very hard to have a conversation
with someone who's got stuff all, like he said, shrapnel
on the face and you're trying to talk like, yeah,
there's nothing wrong here.

Speaker 3 (48:39):
I'm used to this.

Speaker 1 (48:39):
This is like a normal conversation, but I it's so
I just want to stare at it and go, oh,
that must have killed.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
That hurts well, especially like the ones. How did they
get the ones right below the eyes?

Speaker 1 (48:48):
That the ones up on the eyelids or eyebrows, and
then the nose that. Yeah, everything he described, it's all,
it's all very distracted.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
How about the tongue ones?

Speaker 3 (48:59):
Yeah, that that would hurt. Yeah, all right, those discs
in their ear low, that's a cross one.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
Our number three is coming up to say with us,
we try and do that each and every day to
make you feel better. Life's not that bad, is it?

Speaker 3 (49:17):
Well, like I said, if you don't laugh, you'll cry.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
We like to laugh.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
So yes, shifting gears. You know, the Supreme Court heard
a very very important case and in front of them,
and we heard from our own, very our own Senator
Mike Lee. He was going to be in attendance at
that hearing. I think Secretary Scott Bessant was was present,
and there was various, uh maybe you know, opinions about

(49:43):
where they thought the justices were going. I hear conventional
wisdom thinks they were more skeptical of the present's ability
to negotiate these terrorifts without Congress. They seemed more skeptical
than they've seemed positive about it. There were some voices
that thought that it was a good hearing and that
the president will be able to continue to do what
he's doing, But more people than nots have.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
Said, eh, well, the question is, like you brought up, Craig,
is if he exceeded his authority without congressional approval in
using these tariffs. You've got to be able to move
quickly on this, and that's exactly what Donald Trump has done.
You can't wait for Congress to get around and say yeah,
it's okay. I mean, he has recognized that America has
lost its economic might because we've given so much industry

(50:28):
over to the rest of the world, and he's trying
to bring it back, and to bring it back, he's
using tariffs to do just that, and the Court is
considering if he has the authority to and the power
to do that.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
And it's been wildly successful. It has created a much
more fair global trade agreements. And right now, this Congress
can't keep this government open, they can't do the most
fundamental job that they're asked to do, let alone start
looking at these trade agreements. So I do think it's
a national security issue. But I'm just a voice. We're
going to get someone with a big brain on here
right now to maybe tell us more.

Speaker 2 (50:59):
Yeah, join us on our Newsbaker line to talk about
that is Ilio Shapiro. He is director of Constitutional Studies
there at the Manhattan Institute Ilia. As always, thanks for
joining us, love having you on the show. I know
you were in the hearing yesterday. What's your take on
the questions and answers being given during that hearing from
the Supreme Court.

Speaker 18 (51:17):
Well, going in it was hard to predict what would happen.
Probably more likely than not that the government would lose
that the tariff would be invalidated, but who knows under
what theory, And after nearly three hours of argument, I'm
pretty much in the same place in that I think
there was a majority of justices who were skeptical, but

(51:39):
for a variety of reasons. Either because the relevant Statute
AIFA the International Economic Emergency Prevention Act, didn't specify this
awesome power to the president, or because it was such
a major question that Congress needed to speak specifically about
the tear or there's a constitutional issue that's in an

(52:03):
improper delegation of the taxing power to the executive. I
think all of those are going to come into play.

Speaker 10 (52:09):
We might see a splintered kind of opinion where the
justices don't agree, but.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
They do agree that it's invalid.

Speaker 18 (52:16):
That's my best guess at what will happen. And then
we have a very interesting political situation where the president
gets to rail against the court, where economists say that
getting rid of the tariff actually would help the economy.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
So I didn't listen to it live, but I read
some of the questions from the justices and their answers,
and it sounds like it was going in the direction
you just described. But I was surprised to hear Secretary
Besson believe or speak in optimistic terms. It felt like
it went very well and thought that the President's efforts
would prevail. And then Howard Luckwig you said the same thing.

(52:51):
He thinks it's going to go their way. Do you
think they're just being trying to be optimistic or are
they here? Is there something that when you're said that
maybe we should be looking at closer.

Speaker 18 (53:02):
When when you're a high ranking member of the administration,
you can't uh, you know, you have to uh in
the media and in in in certain ways.

Speaker 10 (53:09):
So that's they're they're they're being optimistic, they're they're doing
the job.

Speaker 9 (53:12):
Uh.

Speaker 18 (53:12):
And again, you know, my prediction is worth what you're
paying for it. So it could go in in in
lots of different directions. You know, if I had to bet,
I would you know, I gave you my best yesses
at at how things would go. But but but certainly
they could approve it. An interesting other thing that Besson
said was that if if it goes down, there are

(53:33):
other ways of keeping the tariff. And that is certainly
possible because you know, they They chose this International Emergency
UH Economic Emergency Act for a reason that it gives
a lot of flexibility and what have you. But there
are other piece of legislation that could allow more focused
kinds of tariffs, at least on certain countries for certain reasons.

(53:55):
And I think that maybe where we'll end up as
a matter of policy.

Speaker 2 (54:00):
Oh yeah, what happens if these tariffs are struck down
by the court. I mean, there's been a lot of
money generated by these tariffs. Do we have to keep
it back? I mean, what do we do in this case? Clia.

Speaker 10 (54:13):
The lawyers call this.

Speaker 18 (54:14):
The remedy problem, and it's unclear what the remedy would be.

Speaker 10 (54:18):
How you get the money back?

Speaker 18 (54:20):
The Supreme Court won't decide that, very unlikely for them
to decide that. They'll they'll remand it back to the
lower courts to figure out the remedial orders. There's some
legal experts that suggest, you know, for international trade, that
you have to file everybody who paid a tariff has
to file a claim in a special court called the
Court of Federal Claims. Some say that the lower courts

(54:42):
that we're considering this already have jurisdiction to issue orders
then there's the practical processes. Presumably the customs agents, you know,
have records of everyone, and they can reverse those digital transactions.
So there's some nuts and bolts questions.

Speaker 10 (54:58):
As Justice Barrett called it at the argument yesterday, it's a.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
Mess putting it mildly, I think now, and I, by
the way, I agree as I've read it. My conclusions
are what you're saying, it doesn't sound like it's going
to be found constitutional, and that the president's tariffs are
not going to be enforceable. So I don't disagree with that.
I just wish it wasn't true. I was just hoping

(55:22):
for something that would say otherwise because of this issue
when we talk about national security, I think a lot
of this revolves around China, like how do you how
do you make sure that you're not at a national
security risk on trade? On other things that do have
an impact on our national security, which would include who
China is able to have stronger relationships with trade, how
the America would have good global trade agreements with other countries,

(55:45):
and because they have such an attractive place to export
to or import into our country, can't it be argued
that these with the growth and the strength of China,
that our global trade is very much an issue of
national security.

Speaker 18 (56:02):
It can and it should, but that's a separate question
than the legal one of whether it can be done
under this particular statue. So I think, you know again,
I hear, I think siding with Scott Besson, with the
Treasury Secretary, he said that there are authorities, certainly for
national security reasons, to do various things. But the same

(56:23):
authority that might give you, that might give the president
the power to levy tariffs against China, might not let
him levy those same tariffs against Europe or Canada or
what have you. So it might have to be a
case by case kind of determination.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
Yeah, this is such an important issue, especially for the
president's economic policies. Can we expect a ruling before the
end of June, the end of this term, or are
we going to have to wait till then? What are
your thoughts on that?

Speaker 13 (56:50):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (56:50):
Certainly, I mean, I mean certainly by the end of
the term. But this is here at the court in
a well an emergency or at least an unusual posture,
not not the regular order. I think they're going to
want to do it fairly quickly.

Speaker 9 (57:04):
I mean not.

Speaker 18 (57:05):
You know, the the Biden era vaccine mandate was decided
eight days after argument. They're not going to be that quick.
There's been some speculation that they might pair a decision
on the tariffs, especially if it goes against the tariff,
with a decision allowing the president to remove the heads
of independent agencies. That's a case that's going to be
argued next month. So maybe if they pair them, you know,

(57:26):
the president wins one loses another, that makes the court
look better. But you know, I think they could if
they really wanted to get this out the door. I
think they could get it done by Christmas. But if
they wanted to pair it with you know, this thing
to make it look more balanced, and then probably January February.
But I don't think it'll go very long.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
Yeah's Shapiro with the Manhattan Institute. He's the director of
the Constitutional Studies. They're joining us and talking about the
hearing yesterday. So you have the judges deciding nes greg
and then you brought up earlier there is a judge,
a federal judge, a Roague judge again tell in the
administration that they have to fully fund the SNAP program
even though the country doesn't have any money.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
To do, so the government is shut down. How does
this judge shut this works? How does I mean, I
don't even understand where he comes from. Where he just
wants to he wills it. You know, there's no government.
We're going to have our airspace closed down. We're going
to have the inability to fly because our government is
shut down. And this judge just says uniformly, not just

(58:27):
fund it with whatever funds you have or can find,
but you will fully fund the month of November all
of SNAP for the you know, forty two million or
whoever is receiving it. You can say that it has
no First off, it's not part of your separate equal
powers as a branch of government. Second, I don't know
where you think that money comes from. Yeah, they have
no comprehension of what it is that they're ruling.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
Yeah. And then Mike Lee just reposted this comment by
Margot Cleveland and she's basically saying that greg you said,
how in the hell does this judge think he has
the authority to force the administration to take money from
another program to pay for SNAP benefits because that's the
only way they're going to get any money to pay
for Yeah, why does this judge think he is Yeah,
he has the authority to do so.

Speaker 1 (59:11):
Yeah, it's it's so unbelievable. And again it's just it's
just civic literacy. I mean, if you look at the
branches the government, the judiciary does not have that ability,
doesn't have that separate that's not its separate equal power,
and that is not part of its checks and balances.
It is outside the scope and it is crazy, and
it's going to get overruled. It has to because judges

(59:33):
don't don't appropriate. They can't be the Congress or the
executive branch. They've got to be the judges, and they
don't have the role to do what he's trying to.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
Do or redistricting. Are you hearing that, Judge Gibson, Yeah,
all right, more coming up and Talk radio one oh
five nine knrs Zulander. Mindami is learning that apparently you do,
in fact need a little money to run things. Okay,
So he is now asking his support to give him

(01:00:01):
money so he can pay for a transition team to
become Mayor of New York in January of next year.

Speaker 19 (01:00:08):
Well, thank you for the question. Is transition twenty twenty
five dot com. And you know, there were a few
months ago where I told supporters across the city to
stop donating, and today I am asking them to start
once again. And I am asking them to do so
because of the fact that a transition that can meet
the moment of preparing for January first is one that

(01:00:31):
will require staff, it will require research, it will require infrastructure,
and those are things that we will have to provide.
And I'm excited for the fact that it will be
funded by the very people who brought us to this point,
the working people who have been left behind by the politics.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
Of the city. Now, I tell you what, Greg he
the mask came off during his election night speech, right yep,
And all of a sudden New York is finding out
what he really meant, and it is scaring the daylights
out of people. He said today he has hauled already
told the New York Times, We're going to increase his
increased taxes on the rich significantly to help pay for

(01:01:06):
this city.

Speaker 7 (01:01:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:08):
Yeah, I'm sure that's what he plans to do, Yes, exactly,
unless he plans to keep him trapped in there. I
don't think people are going to stay and get you know,
milked for more. But again, I you know that city
has made it's bad. I mean, I think that city
is what it's become, and that's that's why you alect
someone like him. But I think that I would hope though,

(01:01:28):
that those people that are not already you know, Manhattan
rich elitists and they're just everyday working people that heard
him talk about lowering prices or you know, grocery stores
and rent and all those things. Your transit costs all
those things that hurt or harmed people's budgets. So he
sounded like the big savior. He's not even sworn into
office yet and he's saying, hey, I need a transition here.

(01:01:50):
It's time to pay. Yeah, okay, I'm gonna take care
of your groceries. I'm gonna take care of your rent,
I'm gonna take care of all this. But I need
you to pony up and pay an expense. You didn't
have any your bidet so I can have a transition team.
You know, I don't think that's consistent. I don't think
running a campaign on everything's free, saying you now need

(01:02:10):
money to have a transition team, start paying is consistent.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
Greg, he is so naive in my opinion about so
many things like you brought up, you know, and and
these idealistic thoughts that he has, someone's got to pay
for him. Yeah, and the money doesn't go out of
in there in this belief that those on the left,
the radical left, believe that if we heavily taxed every

(01:02:36):
rich person in this country, it would pay for everything.

Speaker 7 (01:02:40):
Have they have?

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
They ever looked at the numbers, couldn't even come anywhere
close to paying for what they want.

Speaker 3 (01:02:46):
They never looked the wealthiest people.

Speaker 1 (01:02:48):
They have the tax attorneys, the accountants they have, they
have their tax shelters, they have everything they need to
not have to pay a greater burden. And the more
you want to put on them, the more they're going
to find. That's why the tax code is so convoluted
and so big. There's no flat tax or nothing like that.
So rest assured when you talk about raising any taxes
at all. The only people that really do pay taxes

(01:03:09):
in a way that will hurt is the middle class,
working people. They don't have the tax attorneys in the accounts.
I hear these stupid regime media people say, well, back
when they were hiring more IRS agents, do you want
to evade taxes. No, but we don't make the million
dollars a year you make with your tax attorneys and accountants.
We actually have to pay taxes.

Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
You don't. That's why we care about that. Yeah, So
they're going to find out.

Speaker 2 (01:03:31):
And the thing is, Greg, all these media stars who
are making millions, people like Anders and Cooper and all
these people on all the networks, you know that they're
talking about taxing the rich. Guess what they have. They
have tax attorneys as well. Oh, they survey they do
not want to pay taxes on making fifteen million dollars
a year. They don't want to do it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
You know, when tech started coming into Utah, you know,
you have Facebook, youet a lunch, you know, the first
thing they wanted to know is how could they reduce
their tax burden. And if you look at Zuckerberg and
at the time they were asking and so concerned about it,
these were the people that were donating their money to
politicians that wanted to raise taxes on everybody and everyone
needed to pay their fair share. They were politically supporting
them coming into our state to domicil saying we don't

(01:04:11):
want to pay any of your taxes.

Speaker 7 (01:04:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
By the way. Another follow up to the election. If
you're unhappy Greg with the election results from Tuesday, blame women. Yeah,
listen to these numbers. In Virginia, eighty one percent of
young female voters between the ages of eighteen and twenty
nine voted for Abigail Spenberger for governor. In New Jersey,

(01:04:35):
eighty one percent of young female voters backed Mikey Cheryl,
and in New York City, eighty four percent of young
female voters vacked Bun Damie.

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
You know what, right?

Speaker 5 (01:04:46):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
My theory is I think zero percent of the women
that listened to the Rod and Greg show would have
voted for any of those people, and that that should
be a requirement to vote, is that you have to
be a listener.

Speaker 3 (01:04:57):
Of this show.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
You have to be informed too, that would help.

Speaker 3 (01:05:00):
That's kind of redundant.

Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
Yeah, that's true. That's true. That's true. All right, more
coming up the Rotting Brake Show with you on this
Thursday right here on Talk Radio one O five nine
kN rs. We have a judge who apparently thinks she
is smarter than everybody else in this state, and she
will decide what the redistrict team will look like or
at least that's where it may be headed.

Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
Yeah, the core hearing was held, our legislative branch came
on bended knee asking a judge for the judge's approval
of their state constitutional duty to draw and redistrict these
congressional maps. She also has one from a leftist group
that's been called better Boundaries. It's supposed to be fair
that amazingly came up with a dark blue congressional seat
of R four, one of them being for a Democrat.

Speaker 3 (01:05:43):
And she gets to pick between the two. That's her prerogative.

Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
Somehow, some way, it is the judiciary branch and this
judge's decision on which maps she likes.

Speaker 3 (01:05:52):
Yeah, yeah, I take issue with that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
So basically, you have an independent commission telling lawmakers what
to do. It's different in California, where Gavin Newsom, Old
Gruesome Newsom himself is now telling people what he thinks
redistricting should look like in California. And joining us on
our Newsmaker line to talk more about that is Hans
Vaughan's Bakowski, one of our good friends on the show,
legal analyst at the Heritage Foundation. Go ahead and say it.

(01:06:18):
I know you love to say this.

Speaker 3 (01:06:19):
Welcome to the party, Hans. That's a word diehard pluck.

Speaker 10 (01:06:24):
Hans.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
You look at the maps of California and the redistricting
that has taken place under Prop fifty, it is laughable.
I can't think of another term other than laughable. Hans. Well,
that's very true, you know. It's a look.

Speaker 10 (01:06:38):
They put in a supposedly independent redistricting commission back in
two thousand and eight, and then added to it in
twenty ten, and yet what are the current districts there. Well, look,
last year Trump got about thirty eight percent of the vote,
so more than a third.

Speaker 7 (01:06:58):
Yet out of.

Speaker 10 (01:06:58):
Fifty two fifty two seats in the US House, Republicans
only have nine. That's seventeen percent. That's nowhere close to
their representation across the state. And so that independent redistricting
commission did its best to jerrymander the state. But as

(01:07:21):
you know, that's not good enough for Newsom, and so
they got the voters to approve Proposition fifty, which overrides
that commission, so they can jerrymander the state even more.

Speaker 1 (01:07:38):
You know, Hans, here's my question. I'm a recovering public servant.
I was a member of a state legislative branch. If
people elect members to the Assembly and their Senate in
California or to our Utah House and Senate in Utah,
can we just get rid of the farce called an
independent commission because there is no such thing. Nobody walks
around with some blank slate in their head where they

(01:08:00):
don't have an opinion or a leaning. Can we leave
it to our legislative branches to go ahead and redraw
these districts as per how these candidates and these districts
won their districts and what those majorities look like in
their state houses. Can we just rid ourselves? Is there
any way to rid ourselves of these pretend you know,
false advertising independent commissions?

Speaker 10 (01:08:22):
Well, look, I agree with you one hundred percent. And
in fact, if you look at the so called independent
commissions that have been set up, there's there's two big
things about them. One, they're not independent because who is
it that that appoints members of those commissions. Well, it's
usually members of the state legislature and the governor, and

(01:08:44):
they are going to pick parties and individuals. And the
second thing is, look, when legislators do redistricting, if you're
not happy as a voter, with what they've done. Legislators
are accountable to whom voters, yes, and these commission members aren't.

(01:09:07):
They're appointed you as a voter. If you don't like
what this commission's done, there's nothing you can do about
it because they were pointed by politicians and you can't
vote them out of office. So these commissions, to me,
they try to fool people into thinking, oh, they're not partisan,
and and they reduce accountability in government.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
Yeah, there they are total far As Hunts. Is this
nuisance response to what Texas has done? I mean, isn't
that what this is all about? You take five, We're
gonna take five.

Speaker 10 (01:09:42):
Well, yeah, that's their excuse for it. And you know
what's interesting about it is that you've got to issue.
You've got things like this starting to rise all over
the country. Even if some of the blue states like
California go through with this, I think actually the net
result in the end is Republicans are still going to

(01:10:02):
come out ahead. Why because if you look at most
of the blue states, they already maximize the partisan jerry mandering.
I mean, look Massachusetts, which is the state where that
term started jerry mandering. They're also in the last election

(01:10:22):
about a third of the people in the state voted
for Donald Trump. Out of their nine congressional seats.

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
All nine of them, all nine were.

Speaker 10 (01:10:33):
Jerry manders to represent Democrats. So there's not a single
Republican seat there.

Speaker 1 (01:10:39):
I think a tel is if you have a congressional
district and it is shaped like a praying mantis, I
think something's gone wrong, don't you think?

Speaker 3 (01:10:48):
Right, yeah, and that's what's happened. I mean, I just
my question is this we in Utah.

Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
I hope there's a ballot measure coming in Utah because
we had a ballot measure in eighteen that passed by
what fifty point three six percent of the vote, and
it was done under this banner of fairness. And now
we see the receipts, we see what they meant by fairness.
It's an absolute solid, dark blue district one out of
our four. We only have four congressional seats in Utah.

(01:11:15):
So we're hoping to see a ballot measure that the
people can say, you know what, we were sold to
bill of goods.

Speaker 3 (01:11:20):
We'd like the.

Speaker 1 (01:11:20):
Constitution to actually apply our state constitution and let the
legislature draw the congressional districts I guess my question is
are we going to see more than just Texas? Are
we going to see Florida, Ohio? Or we're gonna see Missouri?
Are we going to see? I mean, are we going
to have this battle about who gets to draw these seats?
And do you like our odds that members of state

(01:11:41):
legislature should be drawing their congressional district?

Speaker 5 (01:11:43):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
Can we get to that spot again?

Speaker 10 (01:11:46):
Yeah, that's a big fight going on because all these
liberal groups with huge amounts of money have been pouring
money into getting up so called independent commissions in red states.
That's why, well, because they want to use those commissions

(01:12:08):
to gain deeps there. Do you know the estimate that
was poured into California overturned temporarily and a better redifferent commission?
It was upwards of eighty million dollars. Wow, huge amounts
were poured in by left wing groups, including various organizations

(01:12:29):
funded by George Soros.

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
Yeah, wow, surprising. Hans is always appreciate your insight and
your knowledge. Always great to have you on the show.
Thank you, Hans, Sure, thanks for having it.

Speaker 5 (01:12:39):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:12:39):
On our newsmaker line, Hans von Spakowski. He's with a
Heritage Foundation. Really an election reform expert. It's always great
because he'll give you the straight word on that he is.

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
He's actually he's one of our A listers when it
comes to this topic. He knows a lot about it
and he and he's right. You can find the people
that donated in Utah for ours. They blue interest argeting
red states. They are this, their their fingerprints are all
over the other states. They tried this in Texas, they
tried it in Florida and other states too.

Speaker 3 (01:13:09):
So you know, it's it's what we have.

Speaker 1 (01:13:12):
And I just would like to get back to what
our state constitution says, and that is that our duly
elected state legislature draws the maps.

Speaker 2 (01:13:18):
Representative. It's all right, more coming up. Final segment, Rod
and Greg Show on Talk Radio one oh five nine.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
Kayn Ors, But I've been really touting the Jerry Syner CADILLACTI.

Speaker 2 (01:13:28):
Yeah, you had some fun today out there.

Speaker 3 (01:13:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
So they got their big opening of their newly remodeled
Cadillact dealership tomorrow at noon.

Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
Do you have you have food there? It's gonna be
some festivities going on.

Speaker 7 (01:13:37):
They had to be there.

Speaker 3 (01:13:38):
I'm gonna stop, of course, free food.

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
You better believe so. I but today they had that
they had a you could test drive cars. So I
test drove, but I didn't bring it back. I kept
it because I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:51):
So I've not been a you don't have a place
to charge it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:55):
I know I don't, so I'm really hoping that battery
last because it's a really good car. So I drove
this lyric and I'm I'd like to think it's me
people are staring at. I'd love to think it was
me that ever, But boy, does it get the look
it gets that. I'm sure it's the car and it's
not me. But man, is this lyric. It's like a
it's like a smaller it's like a it's an suv,
but it's a It's it's not as big as their
Cadillac or their Escalade, but it's a boy. I'll tell

(01:14:17):
you what it is fast, it is beautiful, it is nice.
I have a CT six, I have a Sedan. I
love my sedan.

Speaker 2 (01:14:23):
But this, you're a Cadillac.

Speaker 1 (01:14:25):
I'm a Cadillac guy, and it's black. I love black Cadillac. So, uh, folks,
if you haven't been to Jerry Simon is just going
to say, you need to go see that. You gotta
check these out and test drive them. They are a
blast and they are good. And if you listen to
the show you're running things, you're a boss. You deserve
a cattle.

Speaker 2 (01:14:41):
But you had fun today. I did you drive just
one of them?

Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
Or I drove two different vehicles and then this one.
I just said, hey, you say I can drive it
while I'll be back you you. I need my car
to I need some service anyway, so I just kept it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:54):
So are you going to charge it? I don't know
what if you wake up tomorrow morning and is dead.

Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
I hope it's not. I don't know enough about electric
cars to know how long I can. I'm sure there's
a sign. Aren't the plugins fairly universal?

Speaker 10 (01:15:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
And they said that it comes within it. If you
go to like one that has Tesla, they have an
adapter and everything.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
But did they give you the adapter?

Speaker 3 (01:15:12):
I don't have anything, so.

Speaker 1 (01:15:14):
I but I know there's something on there because there's
a lot of bells and whistles that tell me how
many miles I have. I just but I didn't really
think that through, and I haven't thought about it yet.
But I'm I'm super excited to drive it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:26):
So so you're stealing the car for a few days
for a little.

Speaker 3 (01:15:29):
Bit, Yeah, stealing. I mean they know they knew where
to find me.

Speaker 2 (01:15:32):
Hey, before we jett out of here and get ready
for uh, thank Rod and Greg. It's Friday tomorrow. We
need to recognize State Representative Kirian lives in me Syracuse.
Carriann has been on the show quite frequently. Great lawmaker,
and she's announced she's decided not to run for reelection.

Speaker 3 (01:15:49):
I served with her.

Speaker 1 (01:15:50):
She has a strong, strong lawmate. She's been a public
servant even prior to to her time in the Utah House.
She was a city council member, member of leadership also
and the majority whip and just good, Paul, just good
on public policy. Phenomenal on all issues, but public safety
is particularly a passion of hers. And you know, public

(01:16:11):
safety has been a problem in this country. So she's
been a very strong woe.

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
And offending the Second Amendment, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (01:16:16):
Second rights, very very strong safety and so she's you know,
it's everyone. People wouldn't realize it takes a lot of time,
so the turnover is higher than you'd think in the
leg All.

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
Right, that does look for us tonight, head up, shoulders back.
May God bless you and your family and this great,
great country of ours. Thank you so much for joining
us tonight. We'll be back tomorrow with thank rodding Great
