Speaker 1 (00:00):
Great to be with you, and we have got another
great jam packed show today. A lot of our attention
of courts focused on what's going on in Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Yes, as is the case.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Par for the course, our eight thirty pre production show
looks nothing like the show we're bringing you live here
this afternoon. There's so much going on, a lot happening.
The issues, the riots in the violence in La continue.
That is a continuing story of which we are covering
and have a lot to report on. And even know
we were reporting that yesterday that Newsom was trying to

(00:33):
go to a judge to get this overturned. Well, just
I mean within the last thirty minutes, the judge is
denied California and Governor Newsom's request to stop a President
Trump from deploying the National Guard and the Marines, and
the judge, even in California, a judge could not contrive
some ruling to stop the president from being the president.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Which is good to see.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
I've got another breaking news story.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
You just shared this with me as well on x
Aryon Bass, the leader of Los Angeles, the mayor of
Los Angeles has just said that if you loot or
break in or damage businesses. You are not protesting immigration. Yes,
you're a criminal. She just said that. She is just
I don't know, she had a moment. I guess I'm

(01:18):
not sure to show.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Her some polling on what people think about this. They
don't like to be stolen from, they like their stuff destroyed.
But it's true.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Her official comment was, let me be clear, anyone who
vandalized downtown or looted stores do not care about our
immigrant communities.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
You will be held accountable. Wow, look at that Karen Bass.
You know, she's a little behind the curve, but at
least she's getting there.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
So you've got Trump winning in court today with gruesome
newsom right and gruesome claims that he never got a
call from the president, But the President is showing him
his phone saying, yep, I called them today. You know,
I mean, come on, there's some news lying.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
It's such an he lying is so easy for that man.
He doesn't slow down to think that the president of
the United States might have a calling log, He might
have some record of calls he makes or receives and so,
and he's very transparent about these things.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
So what does he do.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
He lets everyone see his call logs. That they called
him and he didn't answer the first time and it
was four seconds. And then the next one was a
sixteen minute conversation with Governor Knew, some of which Governor
News some wanted to say.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
It never happens, Yeah, it never happened.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
So we've got we'll talk more about this. But we've
got a great show lined up again today we're going
to be talking about Mexico. Are they complicit in these
LA riots? What is Mexico doing in this regard. We've
got another exclusive interview with Data Republican Jenica Pounds. She's
agreed to come on the show today where she has
done some digging into the money behind all of these right, Jennica,

(02:47):
and where all this money is coming from. That's an
exclusive and we'll have that a little bit later on.
Mike Lee will join us and then we'll talk with
the reporter who has been on the streets in LA
and we'll describe what she has seen and what is
taking place.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
So we got a great show lined.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Up with We really do.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
And I'm really excited about our interview with Data Republican
Jenica Pounds. She has actually really cracked the case in
terms of who's funding these riots in LA and you
won't believe the store.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
I don't know if you're if you're as listeners.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I've been posting about this on my ex account, by
Citizen Hugh's account, but I was not aware of the
billionaire activist that is really funneling the money into this.
She's followed the money, she's followed the receipts, and we're
going to speak with her about that, specifically about the
funder of this, but also those that prepare to fund
the riots coming the protest coming this weekend, which are

(03:38):
actually not the same. They're in the same cause of
trying to, you know, to thwart our president and really
law and order, but they're not actually the same sources.
So you want to hang on to this interview. It's
in this hour with that of Republican Jenica Pounds.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, we're gonna be talking to her. So we've got
a lot to get to today. As always, we invite
you to be a part of the program, and we've

on the different take.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Thanks all right, Now, I got a note today e
Ray from one of our great listeners out there, Alan,
Thank you very very much, he said, Rod, are you
aware that this Saturday, which by the way.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Happens to be Flag Day? Nice flag Day.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
This Saturday, there are two protests planned in Salt Lake City.
The first one will take place at the President's Circle
up at the you. The second protest will be a
Pioneer Park later in the day and a march to
the Federal Building. Apparently this is all part of the
protesting of ICE and what it's lawfully doing.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
But they're going to be protests.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
Now.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
My question is we remember the last time we had
problems in this city, our steam Mayor Marrin menden Hall,
Mayor menden Hall, Comrade Mendenhall for honor Mendenhall decided to
do nothing. Yes, there's a lot of things burn. Didn't
they burn a police car down? Sure dah, they just
set that thing on fire.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Well, I think, you know, I think that hopefully they've
learned from the May of twenty twenty. But this is
again one of these George Soros said, this is one
of these billionaire activists funded very well organized protests, and
so this is coming from Indivisible as a group, and
it's so again you'll see the signs I think, I
think you'll see that being a little done, a little smarter.
This is a little bit more of a well healed,

(06:27):
moneyed group that's funding this one in the La Riot.
So you might see some American flags amongst the other
flags this time. Yeah, with the group the groups that
are going to protest in Salt Lake as well as
other major metropolitan cities across America this Saturday.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, well, Governor Cox, today it is news conference. You
heard it in abbage newscast. Don't you dare protest in
Salt Lake City? If you want to protest, go to California. Well,
you know what we this was.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
This was an area of discussion in twenty twenty in
a campaign, and I think that I'm so happy to
hear that that would be The response is when you
see this kind of lawlessness.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Occur, you got you gotta.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
You gotta take it on right away before it grows,
before it gets out of hand. Back in May of
twenty twenty, they had to call jurisdictions from all over
the Wassatche Front, including the Utah National Guard to try
and stop it, and there was a lot of destruction,
including to the state capitol before it was all said
and done, and injured members of law enforcement as well.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah, Governor said today they're prepared. So if you want
to protest and cause violence, they are ready to respond. Now,
I've been wondering, great, we've we've seen numbers on this
the American public. I think for the most part, the
majority of the people in America today are supporting what
Donald Trump is doing when it comes to immigration. Yes,
that was one of his key platforms he used during
the during the campaign, and he said, We're going to

(07:46):
close the border. We're going to get illegal immigrants in
this country out of here.

Speaker 6 (07:50):
Right.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Yes, And I've always been wondering, well, what do.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Immigrants who came to this country legally from the Hispanic community,
what they think about what's going on in Los Angeles
and guests, So we turned two for the answer. Our
good friend CNN's Harry. Harry is back with us. He
had some research into all of this. This is what
he said this morning on CNN about what they legal

(08:17):
immigrants in this country think about what's going on in LA.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
Here's what he said.

Speaker 7 (08:21):
Immigrant citizens, immigrant voters, foreign born voters have gone tremendously
to the right on this issue in twenty twenty four
and twenty twenty five versus where they were in twenty
twenty closest to her trust more in immigration. You go
back to twenty twenty, Democrats get this, held a thirty
two point lead on this issue. Immigrant voters were in
the Democratic camp. Jump forward to twenty twenty four to
twenty twenty five. Look at that shift, a forty point

(08:44):
shift to the right among immigrant voters. Republicans now lead
on this issue by eight points over Democrats, more so
than any other group that I could find. The group
of voters who became more hawkish on immigration were in
fact immigrants themselves. Immigrants were registered to vote in this country.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Wow, it makes so much sense, and I'm so glad
to see it.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
And I'm telling you that's why I think what the
quiet victims are, the people that the regime media doesn't
want to pay attention to and you're not seeing as
much on social media. Are the people caught between, you know,
in the cross fo.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah, is Mexico complicit complicit in what's going on in LA.
We'll talk about that coming up next on the Rowdy
and Greg Show.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
I'm citizen in Hughson and I brought Arquette.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Now, with everything that's going on in LA, a lot
of people are saying, well, what does Mexico think about
all of this? Well, apparently we have a pretty good
idea now and joining us on our Newsmaker line to
fill us in on more and that is our good
friend John Daniel Davidson, John a senior correspondent as a federalist.
All right, John, what are you hearing out of Mexico
and what they think about what's going on in LA?

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Right now?

Speaker 8 (09:47):
John, Well, the Mexican President was out there yesterday calling
the protesters' heroes, and the Mexican Foreign Ministry put out
a statement calling for the ICE agents and the Trump
administration to stand down and not enforce US immigration law.
Why the Mexican Foreign Ministry and the Mexican president have

(10:11):
anything at all to say about riots in Los Angeles
and attacks on federal officers, I think is a pretty
good question that Mexico.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Should be forced to answer.

Speaker 8 (10:22):
This is a part of a long pattern of Mexican
interference in US domestic politics goes back decades, but this
is a particularly egregious form of it. As we see
the violence erupting in Los Angeles right now.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
She seems to be on a roll.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
She was before saying that they were going to mobilize
people against this remittance tax that that's been being considered in.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
The Big Beautiful Bill.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
Does this actually really make the case and cross the
threshold into a foreign country threatening US and mobilizing potential
threats on Americans?

Speaker 2 (11:00):
I mean, is it that serious?

Speaker 8 (11:03):
It's one hundred percent of foreign country threatening us, That's
what it is. Last month, President Shinbaum of Mexico said
that they were going to mobilize protests inside the United
States if we passed a tax on remittances to Mexico.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
That's a threat.

Speaker 8 (11:20):
And people have to understand. Morena, the Mexican political party
that is in control of the Mexican state and has
been totally infiltrated by cartels. That was the party of
the former Mexican president Lopez Obrador or am Low as
he's called, and his successor, Claudia Sinbaum.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
Also the Morena party.

Speaker 8 (11:44):
The Morina party is closely tied to the Sineloa cartel.
You have to understand the Morena Party has and has
boasted about having active cells of resistance inside the United States,
and has boasted about being willing to activate those for
its own political reasons whenever they see fit. And they

(12:05):
did this last year when the New York Times ran
a big story about how Amlow had long standing connections
to the Cineloa cartel. Two days later, a big group
of protesters showed up outside the New York Times headquarters
in New York, chanting in support of Amlow. Those were
Morena operatives inside the United States. So people have to
kind of get serious about what's happening here.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
John, we're talking with John Davidson. He's with a federalist.
John Shinbaum has never been a big fan of Donald Trump's,
has she. I mean, isn't any surprise at all that
she's kind of taking after him for this?

Speaker 8 (12:41):
No, I mean it's not a surprise. On the one hand,
I mean, Morena and Shinbaum are just standard left wing
Latin American demagogues. The important thing for Americans to understand
is that the Mexican government isn't a government like other countries.
It's a narco state. The Sineloa. Cartel controls Claudia Scheinbaum,

(13:05):
they controlled Amlo. These are not drug gangs. These are multinational,
major criminal enterprises, and they have infiltrated and taken over
vast swaths of the Mexican state and also vast swas
of the Mexican territory. The last Trump administration in twenty nineteen,

(13:27):
the US Ambassador to Mexico said that cartel's control between
thirty to forty percent of Mexican territory. They've totally infiltrated
the Mexican National Guard and the IM which is Mexico's
immigration authority. Those organizations are essentially migrant trafficking organizations that
work for the cartels. And what the precipitating incident in

(13:49):
Los Angeles was was an ICE raid on a money
laundering operation connected to cartel activities in Los Angeles. So
I think it's very interesting that the Mexican government was
protesting this, of all things.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
So we have we have.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
The Aliens, the Alien Enemies Act, which was where President
Trump was saying, look, you got this trende Aragua gang.
They are working in coordination with a hostile state. Uh
and they're they were invoking this Act to use irregular
warfare or counter uh warfare against this gang. It seems

(14:27):
like Mexico has walked right into this very alien Enemies Act.
Even more so, I mean, we have the president of
Mexico making the very case. I mean, you don't have
to wonder what the what the motives of a gang
are or who's directing them.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
She's pretty much told us.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Does that help President Trump in this administration and their
attempts to deport and remove these dangerous criminals that are
Mexican descent back to Mexico.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
It absolutely does.

Speaker 8 (14:56):
I mean, you know, these these cartel controlled politics in
Mexico are not doing themselves any favor. And I think,
you know there's an element of sappho here that they
might find out about in the coming weeks and months. Look,
the Mexican government is not a partner or an ally

(15:18):
of the United States. They're a hostile foreign government and
they should be treated as such. We're not going to
solve our illegal immigration problem, or the cartel problem with
the border, or the drug running problem by working with
the Mexican state. And I think that the Trump administration
needs to be really clear about communicating that to Mexico. City,

(15:39):
and they need to use the levers of control that
we do have over the Mexican state, which are considerable,
to change their behavior and extract concessions of them. Chief
among them is the renegotiation of the USMCA trade deal,
which is going to start this fall. We can basically
crush the Mexican economy if we want to, and we
need to have that thread.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
On the table.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
That's a good point, John, John is always great chatting
with you. Thank you and enjoy the rest of the evening.
Thanks John, Hey, thanks for having me. Thanks John Davidson,
senior correspondent at the Federalist talking about Mexico. And you know,
if we haven't got a friendly government to the south
of US, how are we gonna you know, well, Trump
has closed the border, but the flow of drugs and
the violence that the cartels present to this country, if

(16:23):
they aren't cooperating us, how are we gonna stop this?

Speaker 4 (16:25):
It's gonna take some real force.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Well, I think it's a tell when you can interrupt
the cartels. And you know, this was just described by
John Daniel Davidson, how close she is connected to the cartels.
You can see why she's becoming more hostile now because
there are pipelines of revenue and have been interrupted.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
Who is really behind the LA riots?

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Data Republican will join us next here on the Rod
and Greg Show as we broadcast live from advanced window products.
We had a chance today to talk to Jenica Pounds.
She is Data Republican, and again she has come through
with some amazing work as to what's going on in lasts.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Greg.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yeah, Data Republican, Jenica Pounds. She took the world the
country by storm with her her work in coding her
technology using AI. Her work has been referenced by Elon
Musk and and every really everyone. I mean, I can't
even pick it, but she has. She has an absolute
following and she is helping everybody follow the receipts we broke.

(17:24):
We had the first interview with her. She's now had
interviews across this country. Real citizen, you know, citizens, soldier
and a patriot. She's joining us now. One of the
things we're going to ask her in here is about
if you saw any of the news, you saw these
things called the bionic masks, the face masks, and they
cost seventy bucks a piece, and they're bringing them in
by giant boxes and they had you.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
You could see the signs and everything.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
About this was was financed by someone. This wasn't organic.
She's going to describe a first gentleman. His name is
Neville Royce Single. I'm just giving me a little background
on him so that you can kind of connect the
dots as we travel through the following the money very quickly.
This guy he sold his business back in two twenty
what seventeen for seven hundred and eighty five million. He
is now a billionaire activist works directly with the Chinese

(18:10):
Communist Party.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
He leads a group.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Called the Party for Socialism and Liberation and they are
a group that describes itself as a revolutionary socialist party.
They only believe that you can and capitalism through violence,
through revolution, and that's really what you're seeing. You're seeing
this play out in real time. And this man, he's
the guy that's also connected to the people at the

(18:33):
Jewish Museum in.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
DC that were attacked.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
The guy that the terrorists that attacked him, Elias Rodriguez,
was attached to. This has ties to this individual and
his groups, and also the riots you saw with Palestine
and the progue terrorist movements on campus were all funded
by this gentleman and his organization as well.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
Well.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Jenica is now joining us on our newsmaker line for
this interview. Jenica, thank you for joining us. She's speaking
to us through her interpreter. Explain to us who the
Singham guy is and what his role in all of
this is.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
Jenica.

Speaker 9 (19:08):
Oh, yeah, so that is actually a really interesting story.
And he's a billionaire and he was actually born in America,
but then he made a company that does what it
actually spreads communism propaganda for China. His name is Neville

(19:28):
Roy Singham, a billionaire activist. In fact, his wife actually
created the website code Peak if you're familiar with it.

Speaker 5 (19:38):
It's a women's group.

Speaker 9 (19:39):
Yeah, yeah, it's a women's group. But now they actually
live in China and Shanghai, and they financed a group
here called the Party for Socialism and Liberation the PSL,
and it's a communist party, and that organization is responsible
for the Palace protests last year that were all over

(20:02):
the country. You remember that at the university, Yes, and
they also financed many many college university protests as well
in many different places all over the country. So Congress
actually tried to refer him to the Biden's Department of
Justice for crimes against Sarah, but Biden didn't do anything

(20:25):
about it. And as you know, the Sarah is basically
protecting the United States from outside influence coming in and
spreading propaganda. Now I found that his group is actually
behind the La riot, and not just in LA, but
his group and his organizations also financed protests all over

(20:48):
the countries last weekend. But the problem was that LA
just kind of went out of control. And I'm happy
to announce that this morning, Representative Anna Paulina Luna will
actually rest Singham to our new Department of Justice for
crimes against Spara, and he also will be subpoenaed. So

(21:08):
I'm very happy, very happy to.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
Report that that's breaking news. I want to thank you,
Jenika Data Republican. Your work is being used for us
to better understand all the adversaries, all the groups, all
the federal money, all the billionaire activists that are out there.
Maybe you could speak to what's coming this summer. I
know that you've done a lot of work, and this
No King's protest that's coming I think as soon as

(21:30):
maybe next week or the fourteenth. These aren't related necessarily
to the LA riots. But they must be at cocktail
parties together. They have to know each other. What can
we as a nation expect in terms of riots and
civil unrest with the kind of money that's being back
to fund all of this.

Speaker 9 (21:49):
Yeah, so it's important to understand that Singham is not
the same person who's financing this other protest that's happening
this weekend. Right, it's against Singham is against the West.
He is an old school Curtonist. But this other group
that's financing the protests for this weekend, the No King's protests,
they are very pro West. They're globalists, and I've been

(22:13):
working on researching that now. But think of these two
groups as they hate each other, but they will work
together against Trump, so kind of the enemy of my
enemy is my friends sort of situation. So the No
King's protest is much better financed than what has been
going on recently, and I think they will try to

(22:34):
control the optics of that much better than what happened
in LA. And I think we'll see more American flags
and that group will be a lot more pro Western
and will control the narrative much.

Speaker 5 (22:49):
Better, I think.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Jonica, let's talk about what happened in LA this weekend?
You write about this five A one C three group
called CURLA. Exactly what is CURLA and what was their
role in Los Angeles this week? What is it right now?

Speaker 9 (23:01):
Do you think TURLA denies encouraging the violence? They say
they had nothing to do with it, But TURLA also
does a lot of financial support for the protests on
the backside, they're mostly financed by the California government. So
TURLA denies encouraging the violence.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
The resources, the money that's been brought to bear. We
understand that we've spoken with reporters who've been on the ground.
It seems there seems to be a constant presence, even
an escalation at night. But people say that in the weekends,
when people aren't at work, they tend to gravitate to
these places and the riots get worse. Is the money

(23:43):
that's being spent to fuel the riots in LA? Is
it running out? Is this going to go away? Are
we going to see an end to this soon? Or
is this something that the funding is going to keep
alive and well in what's left of LA up till now?
Is it going to continue or are we going to
see this die down? And the other riots in America

(24:05):
there are banned take you know, take over.

Speaker 9 (24:08):
One really important step that Singham was recorded to for Parah.
And the good thing is when he goes to report
to Pharah is that it will limit his power here
on what he can set up. But every billionaire globalist,
they work together, buildless all over the world. And I'm
hoping if we get seeing them on Sarah, that it

(24:30):
can become a playbook for catching other billionaires who are
doing the same thing with our country's agenda.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Jenica Pounds, she is otherwise known as data Republican. And
you know this story about this Neville Singham and what
he's doing and how many billionaires are out there who
just want to destroy the United States like this guy.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
We're going to see this erupt across the country. We
will weakend.

Speaker 5 (24:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
And I just think because it's irrelevant that that are republican.
Jenica Pounds, she revealed the relationship between this Neville Roy
Singham and this and this his organizations with the violence
that's going on. So what's happened is the congresswoman has
announced that the House Oversight Committee is launching an investigation
into Neblsingham and over his funding of this communist group. Uh,

(25:13):
he'll be subpoena and that's significant, and if he refuses,
then he's referred to the DOJ for prosecution. The reason
Jenica thinks that this is significant is this is going
to put these billionaire activists on notice. Okay, they're going
to be either coming to Congress and explaining in grand
detail how they're trying to subvert this country and its
foundational institutions, or they're going to be referred to a

(25:34):
criminal complaint. It's going to be referred to the DJ
and they'll be account as it should be, as they've got.
These guys have skated for too long with the kind
of nonsense that they're getting away with and what they're
funding and what they're trying to do to everyday people
in this country. And so I think that's actually, you know,
I'm not a big fan of the performative art of
these committee hearings, but I think bringing these billionaire activists

(25:57):
under subpoena to the to Congress and if they don't come,
getting it referred to the DOJ for criminal uh, for
a criminal referral, I think that's great.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
I think that needs to happen.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
One other note, if you're just joining in and us now
a big win for the president. Today in court court,
Gavin Newsom, Gruesome Newsom, took them to court over the
use of the National Guard and possibly Marines, and a
judge said he can deal with that.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
Evening California can stop a lot. I'm shocked. I really
did think we're going to play that game once again.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah, I sure did. All right, We've got a lot
more to come. Our number two of the Rod and
Greg Show is on his way as we're broadcasting live
today from the Advanced Window Products being listening because they've
got a great deal for you if you're ready to
install some new windows for doors into your home.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
We'll have the tails coming up. Stay with us.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
The stories that are coming out right now again are
still ongoing. There's no story to be told in terms
of it's done. There's still going to be there's still
rioting happening. We're going to be speaking with a reporter
later in the program who was there has been covering
it is going back today, taking a little bit of
a break and going back into their into the belly
of the beast today to continue her reporting. We'll be

(27:03):
speaking with her I was shocked that the news rod
that we saw that ABC News report Terry Moran, who
went on a psychobabble, oh weirdo rant over the weekend
about Trump or about Stephen Miller.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
Yehevin Miller was directed. He said he ate hate for breakfast.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
It was a weird, weird thing.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
And anyway, looks like ABC News has let him go,
which I am shocked because I thought they'd subscribed to
the same Bilossphet.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Well, right before we came on there we got news
that ABC who suspended him the other day after that weekend,
Rand announced right before we came on the show today
that Terry Moran is done. The contract's over, no longer
a relationship.

Speaker 7 (27:42):
Now.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
A lot of people are saying, I'm surprised he did that,
But the folks at Media Research Center put together a
brief montage of some of the comments that he has
made over the past several years when it came to Obama,
when it came to Trump, listened to some of the
stories that he told and.

Speaker 4 (27:58):
How he got away with this to begin with, I'll
never know lit't to some of this.

Speaker 10 (28:02):
I like to say that in some ways Barack Obama
is the first president since George Washington to be taking
a step down into the oval office.

Speaker 11 (28:12):
I mean from.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Visionary leader of a giant movement.

Speaker 10 (28:15):
Now he's got an executive position that he has to
perform in the question.

Speaker 11 (28:20):
You can sense on everyone's mind. Is they listen so
intently to him? Is he the one? Is Barack Obama?
The man, the black man who could lead the Democrats
back to the White House. Around here, they're even naming
babies after him.

Speaker 10 (28:34):
In twenty sixteen, Bernie Sanders changed the Democratic Party. He
made democratic socialism cool for millions of voters. Bottom line,
row versus way it is overruled. There is no constitutional
right to an abortion. Let's not mince words. Women will
die because of this ruling. This is a court not
of judges, but of politicians. In judges, robs fight for Trump,

(28:57):
not fight for America. The Republican Party as a personalized
power like we haven't seen it's a coug deal, it's
a Caesar, it's a fure.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
We don't see that.

Speaker 11 (29:07):
In this country.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
We do now.

Speaker 10 (29:09):
It's much more like sometimes you see in other countries,
an authoritarian figure maybe who has crossed the line of legality,
still with an army of supporters, and in fact that
the White House at this point is a laughingstock.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
That's Terry Moren.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Now you're saying, Okay, Moran got fired for the tweet
that he sent out over the weekend.

Speaker 4 (29:31):
You listen to that. This has been going on for
a long time.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
And ABC News just realized his bias, you know, and
I'm surprised I didn't hear this ongoing narrative of his.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
In fact, when he interviewed the President, if you remember
he president, he was getting a little chippy with President Trump.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
He's like, I didn't know who you were.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
You seem to be very nice to me before we
got the camel came on, and then he kind of
pushed back, and so even the President wasn't aware of
probably a lot of what he's been saying. But honestly,
I think when he went off as unhinged as he
did this weekend, again, the media, the regime media is
fighting for some semblance of credibility, and this guy.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
Happens going to they allow this to happen.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
It's going the wrong way, and it's it really comes
on the heels of Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson saying, oh,
you know, we were duped and we're not going to
be duped again. And then they come in here and
they tell us, well, there's it's mostly peaceful, there's nothing
wrong going on here, and then you get the narrative
from Terry Moran. I think ABC's News is trying to
correct a little bit, but I don't know that they.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
Keep good are not going to help.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
I don't think Greg now speaking of going in the
wrong direction howl about the Democratic Party. I mean, there
are a lot of people in this country saying, what
on earth are the Democrats doing? Supporting these rioters, these
people who are making you know, a mess of downtown
Los Angeles, you know, spitting. I love what Trump said yesterday.
You spit, we hit, spitting at police officers and National Guards,

(30:51):
been breaking into businesses, setting them on fire, setting cars
on fire. And the Democrats are doing not except John Fetterman.
Men came out yesterday. I don't know what it is
with Fetterman, but he can't common sense. I guess he
came out yesterday and said what are the Democrats doing?

Speaker 3 (31:08):
You know, he comes from Pittsburgh, comes from my hometown,
and he was a mayor of this little town that
like three thousand people in it, then becomes a lieutenant
governor of the state of Pennsylvania. He was such a
leftist and then he has a stroke. He can't even
put sentences together, whereas hoodies to the Senate. But then
he goes to he goes gets counseling because he had
mental he had mental health.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Issues, behavior, whatever you call it. And he comes back.
It's probably the most straight talking, common sense democrat we
have in America. The irony of all this is just inescapable.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
And now because he's talking so much common sense, the
Democrats are like, well, you know, he had a stroke.
You know, I don't know if he's actually able to
serve in the Senate anymore. After they'd been pushing him
along in his uh, you know, in his weekend and
his injured state of having been a stroke victim. Now
he comes back after some counseling and he's calling he's
calling it pretty straight for a Democrat, and Democrats are

(32:01):
now turning on them.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Well.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Speaking of Democrats, and Nancy Pelosi, who has again gone
cucko for cocoa puffs, talked about the rioting and how
she supports them. Listen to brit Hume on Fox News
yesterday with Jackie Henrick talk about what Pelosi and Democrats
are doing.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
Here's brit Hume and.

Speaker 6 (32:18):
I've seen some things in my life that I thought
were politically unsustainable. I think I think what Democrats are
doing and saying about all this is politically insane. I
just don't I don't think there's anything like a majority
support for it.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
Now.

Speaker 6 (32:31):
Karen Bass has seen polls that suggests that people do
support it. She's the mayor, of course, and she's I
think she said that if it was local polling, it
might be different. But we're playing this is playing out
before unmistakably a national audience, and I think it's to
the detriment of Democrats and to the Republicans and to
the President. It's like picking up money off the street.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Look, it's like picking up money off the street. I've
read hum on that.

Speaker 5 (32:55):
Now.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Chris Solizza, who used to be on CNN, does his
own podcast right now and is asking himself, what on
earth are the Democrats doing.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
Here's what he said.

Speaker 12 (33:04):
It seems to me that Democrats are not thinking smartly
about all of this. They need to understand again, politics
is about winning. Winning is about finding advantageous fights, picking
them and keeping them going. That's what Donald Trump is
trying to do. You can like him or you can
hate him, and I know a lot of people hate him,

(33:25):
but he is very good at understanding that when there's
a fight that he is has the high ground on
when it comes to public perception. He not only picks
that fight, but he keeps picking it, he keeps jabbing
at it. And the longer Democrats play along with that,
the worse for them and their party.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
He's a fighter and he I thought Eliza was spot on.
He realizes that the American people are behind him when
it comes to what's going on in Los Angeles and
immigration in general, and he's going to be pushing it
and poking the bear, you know, all the time. I
just think, right what trump'ster's doing is amazing.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
I think though, I think I think Silissa still misreads it.
I think the Democrats are just used to getting their
way all the time, all the time. I think that
they are used to pushing back, creating, creating chaos, raising
the misery index, and the Republicans go running away. And
what they don't get with Trump is that you can
keep that up. You can go to the old playbook.

(34:22):
You can keep trying to do what you're going to do,
but this guy is going to outlast you. This guy
is not going to go turn around. So it's not
that he's picking these fights, it's that he's not running
from them, as I think many are Republicans sadly in
the past, have done, because there's a lot, you know,
there's a lot of political capital being spent. He's not
going He's undaunted by that. And they're not used to that.

(34:42):
That is a that is a school of politics or
camp public policy they've never seen.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
And that's and so they don't know what to do
about it.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
Yeah, they do not know what to do about it.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Well, we'll get into your calls and comments on all
of this coming up on the Rod and Greg Show
in Utah's Talk Radio one oh five nine. kN ter
s now before we talk anything more about the LA Right,
do we really want to get into an argument over
that ridiculous hockey game last night?

Speaker 3 (35:04):
You know, you are such a sore loser, you know,
I know they want to lose the one that America
leagues Canada, which is the way that we know, at
least that part of the world is going right. There
is a massive, wonderful in the third period fight. There's
like four different fights going on at the same time.
I'm in heaven and in you. Mister Northern part of

(35:25):
New York State hockey playing guy tells me you don't
like fights at a hockey game.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
What sport did you play?

Speaker 4 (35:30):
Though? No, let me tell you what. Oh my goodness,
occasionally happen.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
But what happened last night, The last thirteen minutes of
that game last night was nothing but a big fight.
Because because wait, wait a minute, wait a minute, you
have some of the most talented hockey players in the
world on that rink last night, would you agree, yes, yes, right?
Why don't we get to see their talent instead of
a bunch of them sitting in a paldy box are

(35:55):
getting kicked out of the part of the talent.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
You know what, they can get their hands dirty. These
guys aren't afraid to brow.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
You don't and I have a good friend. You and
I have a good friend. And he agreed with me today.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
You know what he said, because what what the American
people saw on that rink last night a bunch of
goons who don't know how to play hockey, and instead
they just.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
Saw the mastery of the Florida Plan Panthers getting inside
the heads of those Edmonton Oilers and the losing their minds.
They are smiling, is they're fighting, They are smiling ear
to ear it is. It is brilliant. I loved it.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
I you know, I don't mind to fight, understand, but
what was on display last week there is one point
where you you walked in there were five fights.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
It was the best.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
Now do they not understand that they're all wearing hills
And I was just an.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Absolute homer for Canada, Canada right now, He's not America
for this country. Because when America was playing Canada in
the in the four nation you know, the first before
they could even as soon as they dropped the pipe,
America went into full get brief.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
Everybody loved it.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
Everybody thought it was the greatest start of a hockey
team they'd ever seen.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
We didn't have any complaint.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
You only have a complaint now because you're Edmonton Oilers lost.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
That's the only hockey purists hockey.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
There's lots of fights today than where they saw a lot.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Of talent out there, and all they did was drop
the gloves and punch each other. By the way the
way they're wearing helmets. Do you think that that made
any sense.

Speaker 3 (37:19):
Here's here's the real hypocrisy here, and I'm exposed. My
good friend, Oh my gosh, he loves the Edmonton Oilers.
Do you know there used to be goons in the
NHL that followed around guys that weren't Wayne Gretzky and if.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
You touched them, you get beat to a pulp. We
don't have that type of hockey anymore.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
So when you say I'm a purist, the purest form
is actually more fights.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
The purest form is that.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
None of the stars get touched, and if they do,
you have goons that go out there and they beat
people to a pulp. Do you remember when they Gretzky rule,
when they wouldn't eat because it was such an advantage
for the Edmonton Oilers to have four on four with
Gretzky on the ice. They so they wouldn't let them
pick fights where they both had to go into the
penalty box. They left them full, fully loaded because they
did not want to give Gretzky a four on four.

(38:02):
So you are just changing hit your rein you're rewriting history.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
You're the regime. All I'm saying is is this. Oh
my goodness, that was.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
A that is not the American people are growing to
love hockey, and that was beautiful display last night and
that third period, I'm going, what is this?

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Well, you know you need to make this case on MSNBC.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
I think they might like what you're trying to say,
because this this crowd, these listeners, they like a good brawl.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
I'll tell you they are a good brawl. I'm not
opposed to this was this was this was as bad
as the La riots.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
The local reporter went to this little girl's the most
beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Speaker 13 (38:37):
Me.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Do you like that?

Speaker 5 (38:38):
She says?

Speaker 2 (38:38):
I love hockey? He says, what's your favorite part about hockey?
The fights? She says.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
The little girl says, the fights. It's so wonderful. It's
a it's American grit. Not that you got to get
over it.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
A lot of hockey fans who they love to see
the fights.

Speaker 5 (38:53):
You.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
I was with you at a game this year, at
a game of a hockey club, and there was a
fight start. I thought you were going to jump over
the glass.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
And I could I would but I could spack that
in the glass. And what are you doing? I want
to see them go. You need to go.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
This is hockey, you gotta you gotta have a little
physicality to This isn't a soccer where they flop around
everywhere saying it.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
I'm just saying, that's you know, why did you bring
this up? Why we were getting along all the day,
same page you irritated me with it's all about Gavin
newsom it brought and then you go to this moment.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Well, I brought this up in our morning meeting. I said,
do they wouldn't see that game last night?

Speaker 4 (39:35):
What you just went off?

Speaker 2 (39:37):
I did?

Speaker 3 (39:37):
I sent you, I sent you pictures of it. I
have pictures there. There are still shots that are going
to live in it forever. It is what I say,
the fourth most penalty minutes in a Stanley Cup final.

Speaker 4 (39:49):
Day, of course it is too. I mean they were winning,
just just win.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
I promise you.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
I think side of that. That didn't allow us to fight.
When we were in high school, you fought you're done
for a game. I mean that was his rule.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
That's no, that's not hockey there.

Speaker 4 (40:10):
We played great hockey, you know what they I mean
these two teams are very good teams, but they didn't
have to go goonish the way.

Speaker 3 (40:18):
Yes, it was anyway, folks, if you saw the game,
I have no doubt that you enjoyed it as much
as I did. If if you didn't see the game,
don't take.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
You know what, you what I did a beautiful game.

Speaker 4 (40:30):
I turned it off.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Of course, your team was losing five to one, of
the losing six seven to one.

Speaker 4 (40:35):
I turned off. I said, you know, and they're fighting there.
I mean, every every put drop there'd be a fight.

Speaker 9 (40:40):
I know.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
It's so great. It's so great. That is not the
game it is. Yes, I'm a purist, and you know what, Yes,
I loved it. Great players just skating around. It's not
figure skating. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
Maybe you maybe you like figure skating. Maybe that's your sport.
I don't know, but that's not hockey. Hockey is a
physical sport, and.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
It is a physical sport. But that does that be
physical with fis being of course it does.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
It's the one sport where you can drop your gloves
hit another man and it's not against the law.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
It's a beautiful thing. Yeah, I love it, And you
don't even do it that much and you enjoyed, and
you really joy that.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
Last thirteen last.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
I could not. I was smiling.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
I just couldn't because you never really see that in
playoffs and Stanley Cup because everyone's worried about the penalties
and they don't want to give anyone a one hand.
Last night, Florida, I know they have to do, but
you know what, Edmonton started that fight.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
They gave a cheap shot to Bennett in the back
and that's what started it all.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
And Florida has been delivering cheap shots games. Don't give
the program. But I'm going to tell you I Am
not going to keep living to our good listeners. I'm
thinking it came from Boston. Marsha Shan he is so
he is a cheap Here is the.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
Edmonton Oiler killer heat is he's doing so well in
the Stanley Cup finals.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
It's beautiful.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
Yeah, no, it's your your goalie. He flopped, Yeah, the
Edmonton Oilers goalie. He flopped like he got shot and
you guys got that power play shock. It's like he
plays soccer. He was a soccer player right then and there.
I'll never have any respect for that goalie Skinner again.
Where he flopped. It was gross.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Yeah, so hockey, what's the old Henny Youngman line. I
went to a I went to a boxing match last
night and a hockey game broke out.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
Yeah, yeah, I went to I went to a fight
in the hockey game.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
Hockey game broke That's what happened last night. And you
know what, it's not hockey most people, because I have
so excited this year about the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
Twenty minutes.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
Great, it is a It is a much more embraced
mainstream sport. When I moved to Utah ninety one that
you couldn't even see the Stanley Cup on television and
there was no internet, so we had to we we
didn't get to see it. But back then you had
way more penalty minutes in the fights than you have now.

Speaker 4 (42:42):
Yeah. I wonder what our listeners think.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
Anythink I'm right?

Speaker 4 (42:46):
Don't with me?

Speaker 5 (42:48):
All right?

Speaker 1 (42:48):
We want to talk more about what's going on in LA,
but we just had I had to get that off my.

Speaker 4 (42:52):
Chep because you've been driving me nuts all day on this.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
We were coming up on the Roden Great Show in
Utah's Talk Radio one oh five nine kN R s
Yues who's.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
Apologized well, you haven't.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
So yeah, no, nothing now, Yes, Simone Biles, Oh you Telly.
She she has apologized. She has taken to uh an
ex post today. Of course her and Riley Gaines got it.
You know, she called she called Riley a bully, she
went after after physical size.

Speaker 4 (43:21):
Yeah, yea.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
So she posted this late this afternoon. I just saw
that the current system doesn't adequately balance the important principles
that we're facing today, which often leads to frustration. And
he did exchange it and it didn't help for me
to get personal with Riley.

Speaker 4 (43:38):
Which I apologize for.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (43:41):
These are sensitive, complicated issues that I truly don't have
the answers or solutions to. But I believe it.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Starts with empathy and respect for each other.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
Of which your posts indicated none of that towards, at
least rally gay.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:55):
So I think, you know, I would love to believe
that's a heartfelt, you know, reconsideration of what she said.
I do think that she was shocked by the pushback
and the recoil from everybody. I joked yesterday twenty twenty one,
called they want their issue, BAC. Yeah, she's about four
years behind the curve on any popularity with that take
she shared, and it's one that she doesn't have to

(44:18):
apply when she talks about empathy. It's one that she's
never had to apply to herself in terms of competing
against men and her respective sport. And I think she's
got some big deals come up. She's got a Netflix
show that she doesn't want everyone. That's yes, And I
think Simone was falling in terms of popularity. Yes, I
think she has a PR firm probably that was calling
her and begging her to try and get herself out

(44:40):
of that hole. Anyway, maybe it's hell heartfelt, but I
don't think so. I think she's not well informed on
the issue. And I think she's a keyboard warrior like
many from you know, cut from that cloth. But I
think she's got a lot on the line this year
in terms of public perception.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
She is so admired or she was by all of
us for her, you know, Yeah, she dropped out of
what was it Tokyo Olympics or whatever years ago, but
she came back in Paris last summer, dazzled us all
how many little girls admired Simon Biles want to be
just like her, And then heard this, Yeah, and said
that's not right, that's not fair. I think she took

(45:18):
some hits.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
Oh she had some serious I mean, I don't think
you see that apology show up today this afternoon if
she wasn't taking enormous hits. And I think that what
I love, not what I don't enjoy anyone's you know, demise,
But what I like is that we have an American
people right now just steeped in and just grounded in
common sense, who are just not finally we're just speaking out.

(45:41):
We have a platform like x where there's actual you know,
free speech again, but we're.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
Not putting up with it.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
And so I think that people that are trying to
push things that we know are destroying our families in
our society and and and supporting lawlessness, our collective recoil
is being felt by those people, and and I think
that's a good thing. I think this response from Simone
Biles is a response to feeling that the American people

(46:09):
are not with her on that and they resent it.
And I think that I also think there's an economic
impact when you get on the wrong side. Star Wars
keeps getting into this problem when they keep doing these
new series, but then they are stars of their new series,
come out and say some crazy leftist thing, and then
nobody wants to watch the show.

Speaker 4 (46:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I think you're right.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
I think the American people seventy seven million Americans voted
for Donald Trump. Donald Trump stands up to this, he
will not back down. And I think he said an
example for Americans around the country. They are tired of
being kicked around, being made fun of, being called every
name in the book greg and they're now starting to
say We've had it, We're done with this, we are
not going to put up with this anymore. And I

(46:50):
think here you have a case Simone Biles. Maybe two
years ago, even a year ago, before Trump was elected,
the American people say, uh, I'm not going to say embarrass.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
To say snaked. Why we're not going to say anything
now we know you has no clothes. We're all and
we're not afraid to mention. Another example, but on a
different topic. Trump has got received so much criticism from
the elitist and everyone else on tariffs, and today I'm
reading a headline that says the World Bank agrees with
Trump's trade complaints, urges countries to low lower tariffs on

(47:22):
the US. So when the World Bank now is actually
supporting and encouraging countries to get on board with Trump's
realignment and renegotiation of trade agreements around the world, it's
showing that the common sense is spreading and people are
coming along in the right way.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
And we're coming out you tough centder. Mike Lee will
join us in the coming hour. We're'll talk about getting
Congresses act together and get this big beautiful building. Yes, yes,
a lot of work down there coming up. Still to
come on the rout in Greg show you toasender. Mike
Lee will be joining us in the six o'clock hour.
We'll talk with the Senator about what's going on in LA.
Will also go on the ground in LA with a

(47:59):
report who's been covering this and get her inside as
to what she has seen. It'll be interesting to hear
what she has to say. And also still to come,
mister Hughes, we have two tickets to Rockstock.

Speaker 4 (48:10):
Twenty twenty five. Yeah, giveaway. Now here's how we're going
to do it.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
If your caller number fifteen when you hear the bumper
music this from the Eagles, you'll win two.

Speaker 4 (48:19):
Tickets to Rockstock.

Speaker 1 (48:21):
And what this is sing along with your favorite hits
performed by elite tribute bands who you like very much.
Cover art The Eagles, Queen Journey, Aerosmith. Please that's coming
up on what date is that? August second? Again, and
just be listening for that Eagles bumper music.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
Here the Eagles, We win the tickets jump on that fifteenth.
Coller wins Hey, some.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
Breaking news just coming across. We earlier had shared with
you information from Harry Enton, the CNN pollster who was
saying legal immigrants in this country are furious at people
in Los Angeles who are rioting their largest.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
Yeah, largest demographic voter of vover block a voter block
to support President Trump's efforts. Are the legal immigrants legal
country by greater numbers than any other voting demographs.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
Yeah, and this just came across the X breaking by
a wopping margin of plus twenty points. You rarely see
anything like that in this country anymore. Greg Americans approve
of President Trump sending the National Guard to the LA
riots fifty nine to thirty nine percent.

Speaker 4 (49:25):
When do you see that?

Speaker 1 (49:27):
I mean, this country they say, is sharply divided, not
on this issue. This an insider advantage. Pall by the way,
fifty six percent of independence the president.

Speaker 3 (49:36):
I thought that is that this is one that the
Democrats and their machine, their their NGOs, and their billionaire
activists have put real thought, time, money organization into and
they're that far behind.

Speaker 4 (49:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
Usually if they get that wound up, they can turn
public sentiment and at least even the odds little it's
not happening.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
To them, yeah at all. I know we're a long
long way out. But is this doing the Democrats any
goods for the mid I can't imagine. But with all
these pictures and you're going to see this plastered all
over the airways next fall against Democratic candidates.

Speaker 3 (50:11):
Well, yeah, the campaign pieces are writing themselves. They keep
waiting for Trump to make a decision that's going to
have negative consequences. But so far as economic policies is
a trade negotiations with other countries, the tariffs, illegal immigration,
public safety, they're not They're not seeing the losses that
they thought they would see as much as they're trying

(50:32):
to create them. The only thing they have or is
a judiciary willing to slow down or block this president
for more success.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
That's not gonna that's just not gonna go. I don't
think it carries a day.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
Yeah, And we had two comments earlier from Brit Hume
and Chris Eliza, both political pundits, saying, we don't know
what the Democrats are doing here. They're they're giving this
to the whole publican party. It's like what Hume say,
it's like picking change of.

Speaker 3 (50:55):
Packing up money off the ground. But even that the
Democratic he just doesn't even see. He They're just so
used to winning the narrative. The game, the narrative game
is the one they always win, and they are just
not used to not being able to do what they want,
not being able to punish those that don't agree with
them the way they want, and not seeing the fruits
of that labor. I would say, as recently as a

(51:15):
tessel takedown, I hate to say it, but I think
it was successful. I think it did usher out Elon
Musk prematurely. But on this issue, particularly the immigration issue,
they are just not turning the tide at all.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
Elon, who have you noticed that? What was it last week?
Nobody's talking about.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
My predictions those two are going to be pals. Well,
you think I think it's coming.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
I do, Yeah, I still don't know about that all right,
We've got a lot to come. Our number three, as
we continue with our live broadcast from an advanced window
products Utah Senator Mike Lee will join us world. Talk
to the Senator about what's going on in Florida, also
about what's going on with the big beautiful Bill, and we'll
go to the streets of Los Angeles and give you
a first hand listen as to what going on there

(52:00):
are going through right now. That's all coming up. Stay
with us on the Rotting Greg Show. New poll out tonight.
We mentioned before the break the president fifty nine percent
of Americans approved of the job he's doing in Los
Angeles and calling out the National Guard. Thirty nine percent
say they don't like it. Greg, I think you call
that a mandate?

Speaker 2 (52:19):
Is really is it is?

Speaker 3 (52:21):
Wait?

Speaker 4 (52:21):
Points? You call that a mandate, don't you?

Speaker 2 (52:23):
It is?

Speaker 3 (52:23):
Usually you get you get those kind of numbers on
issues that the you know, the left isn't prepared to
maybe create the narrative that it's working or if this
one though on illegal immigration, this one has had the time,
the money, the coordination they have launched this for this moment,
and the American people are saying that they're offended by it,

(52:45):
they're opposed to it, and they want a present that
will restore law and order protect people. And we can
see that that that there are victims that are that
the media doesn't want to talk about, that the left
certainly doesn't want you to know about. But the American
people intuitively know there are to all this.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
Well, you had we couldn't grab this and put it
in the show today, but you had a SoundBite earlier today.
You were talking about this store owner whose business was
what threatened or destroyed? This is a what on earth
are you doing? I'm living your community and you're destroying
my business.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
This and he's an immigrant. You could tell by this accident.
He's an immigrant saying, what's this to do with ice?

Speaker 3 (53:20):
They're looting, they're stealing from us, they're destroying our shops.
What does this have to do with ice? Yeah, he's
trying to keep his business from not being destroyed and
all of his things being stolen from it. Again, the people,
I think people see it, and I think you are
getting fatigued by the social agenda, the radical agenda of

(53:41):
the left, and they're finally, Thank goodness, you got a
president that can't get cowered or intimidated down from the position.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
Well, joining us now on our newsmaker line or any
our newsmaker line. Always ready to have him on the show.
Utah Senator Mike Lee sender Lee, thanks for joining us tonight.
Want to get your initial thoughts, Senator, and what you
see going on in LA and what then is doing
about it.

Speaker 5 (54:01):
Well, look, it appears that these people who are not
just protesting their rioting, they're engaging in lawlessness and almost
the acts of war against the United States. They're just
so upset about immigration policy and about the fact that
the president has fulfilled a campaign promise to the American
people who elected him president that he was going to

(54:23):
enforce the border. Those who were upset about immigration policy
and about Trump's commitment to enforcing the border obviously have
no choice but to loot. According to the Democrats, it's
just put them there. And so not only are they
somehow legally but also morally justified in doing this, but

(54:44):
they think Trump is the person who's in the wrong
because he's trying to stop it. The Democrats have become
the party of giving ear plugs and gas masks and
riot gear and water bottles, throw at police. This isn't peaceful,
it's not even mostly people. They don't want peace, but

(55:05):
they want are dead cops. And we know that because
they've told us. They're openly challenging the authority of US
government officials who enforce federal law. Now, Trump, on the
other hand, does not want lawlessness. He wants to restore
law and order, and that's why he acted. Meanwhile, Governor
Gavin Newsman declined to act. So I begged my Democratic

(55:26):
colleagues and people of all political backgrounds, including Democrats all
over the country, to condemn this. Nobody can defend lawless behavior,
and until recently I wouldn't have thought people in the
Democratic Party would, but some have.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
So Senator, my question.

Speaker 3 (55:43):
So Governor knew from California his foal lawsuit arguing that
the president has overreached, he's abusing his authority as president
by deploying the National Guard and now the US Marines.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
Does that lawsuit?

Speaker 3 (55:56):
I know that with Judge Shopping, anything's possible, but does
that have any merriae at all?

Speaker 5 (56:01):
Well, the President of the United States is, after all,
the commander in chief of the armed forces, and he's
made a direction here, He's given orders here that are
being followed. Now, it's hard for me to imagine many
things that are more beyond the authority of the federal

(56:22):
courts to interfere with than an action taken pursuant to
the sitting president's commander in chief powers. And that's what
we have here, Thunder.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
Let me ask you, is this just another classic example
of the failure of progressive policies in our major cities
around the country. What we're see taking place right now
in Los Angeles and could spread to other cities as well.
Is this just another example of the failure of these
progressive policies when it comes to immigration and law and order.

Speaker 5 (56:49):
Yes, But the progressives, and by progressives we mean Marxists,
this is not failure. This is success. And that's the
crucial distinction to make here, odd is that this is
not a failure. They have succeeded in doing exactly what
they want. Now, for those of us who find this

(57:10):
kind of lawless behavior are repugnance, we need to indicate
as much. Because the progressives, the Marxists, this is exactly
what they wanted. We can't let them pretend otherwise.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
You're exactly right, Centator.

Speaker 3 (57:26):
Look, I've argued to everyone, Look, you might not have
liked the Tesla takedown, but it worked like a charm.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
I mean, it did work.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
And I think that this violence is a success to
the leftist which brings me to this question, is this
a harbinger for things to come? I believe that these
groups and we're gonna have a We're gonna have a
robust discussion about where the sources of the dollars are
for this type of effort to take place in La.
There's planned riots or protests, whatever they want the left

(57:54):
ones to call it, planned for this summer and throughout
this country.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
Are your call talking about this? Are you guys preparing?

Speaker 3 (58:02):
Is there something you can do to counteract what you
know is coming, and that is this organized leftist successful
attack to bring lawlessness and instability to this nation, trying
to trying to compel you and others to retreat, to
not do what you're doing.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
Is there any plan?

Speaker 5 (58:20):
Yeah? Look, first of all, I do believe that Attorney
General Bondi and FBI Director Cash Betel, and Deputy Director
Dan Bongino at FBI, they're all working to investigate this,
and I predict that a lot of federal charges will
be brought over this. The federal charges coupled with the
deployment of military personnel to Los Angeles, will I think

(58:45):
deter future conducts like this, especially insofar as it's successful
and they don't back away. But I think it's incumbent
upon those of us who hold office who agree that
these actions need to occur. We've got to stay on
the by defending these actions, because if the resistance to

(59:06):
this lawless behavior starts to look apologetic or half hearted,
I think this will be the harbinger of many other
bad things that come, and we can't let that happen.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
Are they trying to set up the Are they trying
to set up the president here? To show that he
is an authoritarian? He is a dictator and in calling
you know, these troops into Los Angeles another example, Are
they trying to set Donald Trump up?

Speaker 4 (59:31):
Do you think, Senator.

Speaker 5 (59:32):
Yes, And they're trying to set him up up and
blame him for doing exactly what they have created. This
is right out of the Saul Lynskey playbook.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
Of you know, do what.

Speaker 5 (59:46):
You're going to accuse your opponent of doing, and accuse
your opponent of doing that which you were doing. That's
what's going on here. They are trying to create a
smoke screen by blaming Donald Trump or lawless behavior and authoritarianism,
when really they're the ones who have done that. They're
the ones who facilitated and perpetuated the Biden led invasion

(01:00:06):
of the United States over the last four years. They
themselves are now seeing where that naturally leads, Seeing where
it leads further, when certain jurisdictions like Los Angeles and
like California decide that they're going to be sanctuaries specifically
for those who have entered the United States in a
manner contrary to and prohibited by our laws, is where
it leads. So of course they want to try to

(01:00:28):
blend Trump. We just can't let them get away with that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
So big beautiful bill.

Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
Majority Leader Senate ma Jory leader soon says that maybe
July fourth, That seems early to me. If you remember
the legislative sessions, I'd say that we're in about day
thirty five of a forty five day state legislative session.
I haven't seen the Senate's bill or its votes yet.
Do you think do you think July fourth is a
practical date to get the bill? The big beautiful bill
voted on and signed into law well.

Speaker 5 (01:00:54):
To be possible, and I know there is a commitment
to get us there and think that that is certainly
something that could happen. We do have to remain focused
on the fact that the bill has passed by the
House isn't going to pass in the Senate right now.
The Reconciliation Bill, it's a big, beautiful bill. It's big,
but it's not beautiful. It's not at least beautiful enough

(01:01:18):
to pass the Senate. But there's still time to fix it.
And we must deliver on prison Trump's promises to keep
the American people safe and to enact wheel immediate, lasting
spending reforms. We'll eliminating the green news scam. That's what
we're working on.

Speaker 3 (01:01:34):
And.

Speaker 4 (01:01:38):
On our newsmaker line, and is Utah Sunder Mike Lee
talking about the LA riots as well as a big
beautiful bill that the John Thune sent a majority of
lear said he's working to get it done by July fourth. Yeah,
that's a bit of an uphill climb, but we'll see
if they can do it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
I think it's a low I don't want to be
a downer, but I think that's a low per center shot.
If someone wants to put odds on that, I would
take that. I think it's it's just human nature. When
they get closer to their August recess, when they want
to go home, that's when the.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
Motivation get it done. They bet, not before.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
Yeah, I know, you don't look at this paper very
much because the intelligence level may not be where you
need to be on it. The Wall Street Journal had
this story today about Homeland Security and the Justice Apartment
kept tabs or tabs on foreign nationals visiting elon Musk properties.

Speaker 4 (01:02:27):
They spied on them.

Speaker 3 (01:02:29):
Yeah, well, they spied on people going to Catholic Mass.
They spied on people parents going to school board meetings.
You know, I wonder why Christopher Ray, head of the
FBI at the time, when he testified in Congress and said, no, no,
that was one field office that was surveilling the Catholic
Church and that mat that congregation.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
That is an isolated incident.

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
Well, we found that that's not the case, that that
was pervasive throughout the FBI office, his field offices around
the country. Why does Christopher Ray get a pass. You're
not allowed to a lot to you're under oath. It's
against the law of lot to Congress, and he did.

Speaker 4 (01:03:04):
He did, so why.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
Don't we ever see any kind of consequence for that?

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
Well, this story today in the Wall Street Journal. Several
US agencies tracked foreign nationals visiting Musk properties in twenty
twenty two and twenty twenty three leading up to the election.
The investigation focused on possible attempts by foreign nationals to
influence Musk. Really and Musk ties with foreign nationals cause

(01:03:28):
concern given his government contracts and access. They were spying
on Elon Musk.

Speaker 3 (01:03:33):
And do you remember during the campaign, Elon Musk said,
there's two things that I'm being held to by federal
law which are totally opposite of each other. One is,
I'm not allowed, since the things I build could be
weapons grade, I'm not allowed to hire foreign employees. And
now I'm being sued for not having a diverse workforce
and foreign employees. He was literally being looked at for
both things. Do you have foreign employees in a weapons

(01:03:54):
grade business or manufacturing endeavor? And then he was being
charged with civil rights issues are investigated because he might
not have enough diversity of people that work at his
Tesla operations.

Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
And so it was just all political was political lawfair.

Speaker 3 (01:04:12):
You know, Tulsey Gabard was being she was part of
that was silence guiz or whatever it is, where they were,
you know, following that entire record. I mean, it's just
ridiculous what the Democrats were able to do. And I
think that it's all having an accumulative effect. I don't
think anything that we're seeing the President Trump's doing. Even
though the Democrats like to say this is the lawfair,
this is the you know, authoritarian that's doing this, people

(01:04:34):
are saying it's actually public safety, it's law and order.

Speaker 4 (01:04:37):
It is amazing what they got away with.

Speaker 2 (01:04:39):
It is.

Speaker 1 (01:04:40):
And the funny thing about this is remember Elon Musk
wanted to be.

Speaker 4 (01:04:44):
A part of the Democratic Party.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Yeah, they would Barack.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
Obama and his gang said no thing, see you later,
and he said, Okay, you want to play that game.

Speaker 4 (01:04:51):
I can play it too.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
A party of subtraction. But this is the thing that
bothers me. That's the Wall Street Journal is a paper
of record for some. It's not going to make those
put that story out loosely. So there's evidence that shows
that that's actually happened. What is the accountability for that?
I just I'm just waiting. I know that we have
a member of Congress that's been indicted for I think

(01:05:14):
assaulting a federal agent or impeding their work, whatever it is.

Speaker 2 (01:05:19):
You know, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:05:20):
What a New Jersey jury will do that here's that case.
But the fact that she's been indicted, I think is
an important step in the right direction because you can
see it on video.

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
I mean, you can see what she's doing.

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
You're talking about Congresswoman mcgiver, yes from the Jersey who
in fact was indicted today.

Speaker 3 (01:05:33):
Yes, And so there is that accountability that's at least
being pursued. And I think a lot of this just
going forward. I think looking back, you'd like to see
the accountability, especially where you know musk And was being
spied on by the US intelligence. But I'd like to
see going forward there being a chilling effect to this
type of behavior because people are learning that the law

(01:05:54):
is going to apply the law, that law enforcement will
not allow you to break the law depending on what side.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
Of the aisle you're on or what your worldview is.

Speaker 3 (01:06:03):
That seems to be a selective, outrageous, selective application up
till now, maybe we get maybe we get a little
bit fairer process out.

Speaker 4 (01:06:10):
Of all this, Well, we can only hope. All right,
more coming up.

Speaker 1 (01:06:13):
We'll go to the streets of Los Angeles and let
you hear what one reporter's seen out there. That's coming
up next on The Rod and Gregg Show, Live from
Advanced Window Products on Talk Radio one oh five nine
k NRS.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
This continues on we got it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
I'm just looking at the feeds we're seeing now in
Chicago and we're seeing the riots and starting up there. Folks,
here's what's gonna happen. You're gonna see this and you're
gonna see it continue on this week and into the weekend.
Different groups, different billionaire activists, NGOs, federal money being used.
But it's all it's all designed to try and create chaos.
The idea for the chaos is to make you decide,
maybe I don't want public safety through accountability. Maybe this

(01:06:50):
whole thing is just too chaotic for me, and I
just wanted to go back to the way it was. Well,
the way it was is a pretty scary thing that's
been it's been brewing under the surface. But joining us
to just give us a real good sense of what
the state of things are in and the Los Angeles
area and the LA riots is Hailey Gomez. She's a
reporter with the Daily Caller and she's been on the ground.

(01:07:13):
She's been living this, reporting this, and we'll be doing
it again this evening.

Speaker 1 (01:07:17):
Haley, thanks for joining us. Give us your take. What
have you been seeing on the streets of LA over
the last day or two?

Speaker 13 (01:07:24):
Yeah, well, I started going on the ground yesterday. It
was my first day. I have a couple of friends
that were on the ground over the weekend. I'm from
the LA area, though I moved out of it a
few years ago, but I would say it is very
reminiscent of twenty twenty. It doesn't feel like it's gotten
to that height quite yet, but it is getting there.

(01:07:48):
People are very people are very I wouldn't use the
word anxious, but they're very antsy on the ground, and
you can feel the tension between whether it's National Guard
or LAPD. They just don't like the enforcement there.

Speaker 9 (01:08:05):
They don't like it.

Speaker 13 (01:08:06):
They view it as a threat almost, and so you
can oftentimes feel it grow, especially as night starts to hit.
That's when when the real stuff actually starts happening too.

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
Hayley, this began as a way to obstruct or stop
Ice from conducting the job they were supposed to do.
It grew from there. There's been looting. Were you able
to see any of the shops that were being looted
and destroyed? There's reports that's coming out. Did you see
any of that in your coverage?

Speaker 5 (01:08:40):
I did see that.

Speaker 13 (01:08:41):
I ended up leaving, so I almost got to I
was detained shortly and then almost arrested because I was
with a group of some of them that got corralled
into enclosed circle by law enforcement. But I had left
to go cover Orange County really quickly. So No, I
did not see the looting happening. I'm going back today

(01:09:03):
to see what those stores are like. That's the part
of the twenty twenty reminiscent that I'm reminded of because
it happened so much during the riot.

Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
Really, how angry are people you say they're on edge?
I mean, how angry are some of the people involved
in this right now?

Speaker 13 (01:09:24):
I would say tensions are high. They So what happened
over the weekend was that one of the union leaders
had been arrested by I believe federal agents, and so
that's why they came out on Monday to do a
protest to get him out. He was eventually let go.
I think he was just held over the weekend because
he was obstructing federal law enforcement agents. And after he

(01:09:50):
let go, my initial thought was that they would kind
of disperse because they got what they wanted, but that
didn't happen. It almost seem to make the crowd grow stronger.
There was more people that started to come now around
three or four, and then there's a pretty significant group
outside of the Federal building. I think just the eye,

(01:10:13):
just the image of National Guard out there and lped
closing in on them on different sides, started to make
the tensions between them grow really high because they just
view it as a threat.

Speaker 3 (01:10:27):
Haley, I keep thinking about the people caught in between
all of this. They're not the people with the luxury
beliefs that want to come out here and almost like
performative cosplay, want to be part of this. They're not
part of the community that feels that they're directly being
attacked by ice. They're the shop owners. They're the people
that live in these communities but are not part of
the violence, the rioting, or even the protesting. Are you

(01:10:49):
seeing any of them are you seeing are you hearing
any of their stories? People that feel like they're caught
in the middle of something that's not of their making.

Speaker 13 (01:10:58):
Oh yeah, I mean it's kind of crazy because you'll
be like yesterday, I was trying to follow a group
that was heading south a little bit more south in
the area, and there were just people on the side.
You know, there are store owners coming out kind of thing,
what's going on. There are people that are trying to
get to their houses and they're being blocked off because
they live in the apartments hereby people in the apartments

(01:11:20):
themselves were coming out onto the balconies. You can see
them looking out. I mean, this thing is going on
for like hours and hours and hours. At one of
the apartment buildings, some of the rioters were shooting fireworks
at them.

Speaker 9 (01:11:37):
And so this is like every day.

Speaker 13 (01:11:40):
You know, you're just trying to live a normal life
in downtown and you just almost can't. But from the
store owners, I have a couple of sources from my
end that are just nervous about it. There's a lot
of anxious and kind of keeping keeping to yourself and
not wanting to get involved because you know, you don't
want your store looted. You don't want your anything to happen.

(01:12:03):
That insurance probably won't cover anyways. Plus with Prop thirty six,
you know it's just a whole it's a whole.

Speaker 4 (01:12:09):
Thing with everyone, Haley.

Speaker 1 (01:12:11):
We all know that Los Angeles is in that whole area.
That's a very large area. Where where are these disturbances
that's rioting? Where is it isolated to Haley?

Speaker 13 (01:12:21):
Yeah, it is right near the city Hall area and
Federal building, so it's I would say it's more like
central to downtown, so it's not spreading into the west
side or the east side at all, but it is
city Hall Federal building, and that's kind of the area

(01:12:42):
that they stay in unless they get pushed back by LAPD.
But it usually it started at the Federal building because
the National Guard is there.

Speaker 3 (01:12:51):
As you get ready to continue your coverage in the evening,
and I think you're right. I think when it gets dark,
I think it even gets worse. So please be careful.
But do you see it simmer down? Do you see
it escalating? Where what's the what's the where's the pendulum
on this this riode? Is it getting worse, getting staying
static or getting air simmering down.

Speaker 9 (01:13:10):
That's a hard one to call.

Speaker 13 (01:13:12):
I mean, I think it depends on how how much
energy people have. I mean, this is going to be
what the fifth day now, I'm not really too sure
how much time people really want to spend, you know,
on this type of stuff and going out every single day.
I mean, those people that want to loose and take

(01:13:33):
advantage of stuff, Yeah, sure, they're going to come out
as much as they can. I think that's my personal.

Speaker 5 (01:13:38):
View on it.

Speaker 13 (01:13:39):
But I can definitely see it ramping up on Saturday
because I know that there's nationwide protests. The weekends are
really where it hits because you know, people are off
of work, they don't they have the time to take
and they're willing to come out to support this kind

(01:13:59):
of stuff anti anti immigration. So yeah, it's a tough call,
especially for these big cities.

Speaker 1 (01:14:07):
Kelly, final question for you, and we'll know. We'll let
you get ready to get back to work. A lot
of people in that area, city leaders, government leaders are
describing this as peaceful protests. Is that a word you
would use alay right now to describe some of the
things you've seen.

Speaker 13 (01:14:23):
No, I would definitely not use that term in my view.
I mean, even if you know it was a mix
of people that during the crowd, you know they would say,
you know, they would chant peaceful.

Speaker 9 (01:14:35):
Protests, and.

Speaker 13 (01:14:38):
They are almost convinced in a way that this is
a peaceful thing to do. But regardless of if agitators
are in the back throwing glass, you know, regardless of
if people do start pushing back, I mean, these people
were like taunting National Guard. They were up in front,
in front of the soldiers, in front of LAPD. I mean,
you hear, you hear the most disgusting things being said.

(01:15:03):
And from the rioter's side, you know, they believe this.
They believe that this is a fascist government. They believe
that their rights are being impeded on. But from lap
who's just trying to do their jobs and keep the
city safe, I mean the city looks disgusting. There's tags everywhere.
Federal building is just tagged up. There's glass, there's there's dirt.

(01:15:26):
I mean, it's it is like a World War three zone.
It just it looks so bad. And so no, I
would not call this peaceful. I would say, even if
there's not physical violence, the anger towards any type of
law enforcement, any type of government is so anti in

(01:15:48):
these big cities in LA two that it's just it's
it's almost out of control. It's really hard to say
how they're ever going to clean this up fully question Haley.

Speaker 4 (01:15:59):
Thank you for joining us. Haley. She's a reporter at
the Daily Caller. She's been on the ground in LA
And you've seen the pictures, Greg, And you know, you
see these burned out cars sitting down the street. The
damage it does to you know, the cars are gone,
the pavement they've got to replace that. It's going to
cost the city of Los Angeles millions, if not billions
to clean this all up. It they even do.

Speaker 3 (01:16:19):
Yeah, and it is that city is being destroyed. It's
in ruins. And I'm telling you, I'm just looking at
some images coming from Chicago right now. If Americans have
watched that, they're not they're going to react based on
what they saw. So a car that was about to
be surrounded just floorided and people had to get it,
wasn't going to be stayed there and let their car
be destroyed. And just just Florida, they had an overhead.

(01:16:40):
I don't know if it was a drone or something,
but as America people watch this roll out. They're going
to react based on what they saw. They're not they're
not going to want to be victims to what's happened.

Speaker 4 (01:16:49):
But I think I already know the answer to this.
You know me, so I do know you.

Speaker 5 (01:16:53):
So?

Speaker 4 (01:16:53):
Are you a morning person?

Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:16:55):
No, no, I see I knew that answer.

Speaker 2 (01:16:58):
Scott.

Speaker 4 (01:16:58):
Are you a morning person?

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
Yeah, Scott's he's very fit.

Speaker 4 (01:17:03):
Are you a morning person?

Speaker 5 (01:17:06):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:17:06):
How our engineer?

Speaker 4 (01:17:08):
Engineer?

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
Yes, he's not.

Speaker 4 (01:17:10):
I'm a morning guy.

Speaker 2 (01:17:11):
Yeah, you are actually like to get up in the morning.

Speaker 1 (01:17:14):
Well, apparently two and five Americans say they're bad in
the mornings.

Speaker 2 (01:17:18):
Just really And I'm a minority, Yeah, you're I'm I
am I should be a protected class.

Speaker 4 (01:17:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:17:24):
Yeah, okay, that's good to know.

Speaker 4 (01:17:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
A survey of two thousand people revealed thirty eight percent
agreed with this sentiment that they're bad at mornings.

Speaker 2 (01:17:34):
You know that why, I know what your problem is
because we're good at night. That's why we like the nights.

Speaker 1 (01:17:39):
No, I can tell you why. I'll tell you why.
You've told me you will stay up all night?

Speaker 2 (01:17:43):
I know?

Speaker 1 (01:17:43):
And what like, what was it Miami Vice? Yes, and
you wanted to watch like six seasons in a.

Speaker 2 (01:17:48):
Row, not seasons, but episodes. Those episodes, you know, they
they're now five minutes when they started that whole countdown
to the next episode without me having to make the
decision to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:17:57):
Yeah, you just stop.

Speaker 2 (01:17:58):
Yeah, I can't get out of there.

Speaker 1 (01:18:00):
And e Ray could attest to this. But when we
call you sometimes at eight thirty in the morning for
the show call.

Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
I've been away. You were just you're just crawling at it.

Speaker 3 (01:18:09):
Rarely I've run clean when that's happened. But for the
most part, I've been up for a while. But it
is hard to see.

Speaker 4 (01:18:16):
And I love morning.

Speaker 2 (01:18:18):
I know it's wrong. I love to beat the sun
up in the morning. Oh you're crazy. Yeah, no I'm not.
But you're a night out tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:18:26):
I've got I've probably got you know, I've got I've
got some washing, some Miami Vice, No Sunny Crockett and
tubs Man. They had crimes to solve, people to put
behind bars.

Speaker 4 (01:18:39):
Did you get into that when it was on TV?

Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
I thought about that. I was weper just ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (01:18:45):
I wore T shirts with the with the with the
sport code over it, absolutely and the colors. But my
ninth and tenth grade year of high school, I was
I would watch on Friday nights. But my eleventh and
twelfth grade years I was not watching Mimmyvice I was.

Speaker 4 (01:19:00):
Was there a reason?

Speaker 2 (01:19:00):
Yeah, my Friday nights were more social.

Speaker 4 (01:19:03):
Oh so yeah it was on Friday nights.

Speaker 2 (01:19:06):
Where was that? That's why?

Speaker 3 (01:19:07):
I actually I have two years or I hung on
every word and then after that, you know, didn't watch it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:19:13):
Interesting, I'll make it up for that now, all right,
