Now I've got it. I had a button pushed the
wrong button.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Are you are one pathetic loser?

Speaker 2 (00:28):
You know, just because I have to push all these buttons,
I'm being attacked.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Let me tell you something burst off. Happy Saint Patrick's Day? Yes, same,
what a wonderful, wonderful holiday. I think. I don't know
if you know this, but the Irish did save civilization
Western civilization. Most of the heroes that we see in
America's history are founding fathers, and we're of Irish descent.
And my family, the Hughes family, Patrick Hughes and his

(00:53):
wife Uh not at the time he left Ireland, but
Delai Delia O'Malley Uh immigrated from Ireland Ireland, came into
Ellis Island and then down to Pittsburgh and then on
the other side, Peter McIntyre and Bridget o'maal or Bridget
or no, Joseph Francis mcntie, Margaret O'Brien.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
They came over to and you know what, and so yeah,
we're just so I'm I'm proud to be Irish.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Good for you and we're glad you're here.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yes, thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
All right, we've got a lot to get to today.
We're going to talk about this, this flight of people
probably shouldn't be in this country, criminals who should never
have been in this country to begin with. And now
we've got a judge who's kind of told them turn
the plane around too late. Judge. We'll get into that.
We'll talk with Hans von Spakowsky of the Heritage.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Hans. Welcome to the party, Hans.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
There have been fifteen judicial injunctions against the president in
this in his effort to change America, and they're they're
doing everything they can to do it. The furries in
public schools, Now you saw one the other day, didn't you. Yeah, school,
And if you don't know what furries are, these are
kids students dressing up as cats. We're in catiers and

(02:11):
tails and going to school. Well, a Texas lawmaker has
had it in his state and he's introducing legislation to
just say no more of this. We'll get into that,
we'll talk about the Mahmood Khalil deportation issue right now.
Is it a matter of free speech? And we'll end
up with love is blind unless you're a liberal woman,

(02:34):
We're gonna have fun with that today as well. So
great to have you on board with us as you
head home on this Monday afternoon right here on Utah's
Talk Radio one O five nine knrs.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, I will tell you this that we have a
lot of clips. I know you've got him in the queue.
I've got some clips to Sunday morning. Oh what a
horncopia of quotables. I mean, to the point that you
just mentioned about, you know how these deportations ought to work.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio lays it out as clear
as a bell that you know, these visas are applications

(03:07):
to be guests in this country and when you if
you were to put your conduct that you ended up
you know, participating in in your visa application, you would
not have been invited, you would not have been granted
a visa, or you know, any kind of entry. But yeah,
they actually track that. And if you're doing things that
break the law and cause you know, terroristic you know,

(03:28):
fear across campuses and communities and cities, yeah, you don't
get to stay that you're a guest and you don't
get to And I think he's he did a great job.
Great question posed to Homan. Tom Homan, who's in charge
of the border patrol. And I just love this guy.
He is so no nonsense.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
And here's how the media is trying to frame the
deportation of all the criminals in trendy ouagra sent to
l Salvador. Here is how the media is trying to frame.
Listen to this.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
This morning, hundreds of alleged Venezuelan gang members are waking
up in prison in El Salvador after the Trump administration
rapidly deported them, ignoring a federal judge's directive. This video
shared by El Salvador's president shows the alleged members of
the trend Aragua gang arriving in San Salvador Saturday, just
hours after a judge ordered planes carrying the men to

(04:22):
immediately return to the US. Trump over the weekend, invoking
the alien Enemies Act and Obscure Wartime Law from seventeen
ninety eight, allowing the government to deport non citizens with
little or no due process. The law last used to
play a role in the internment of Japanese Americans during
World War Two.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
There you go, the media trying to compare it to
the Japanese in turnment camps. No connection whatsoever. But it's
just another attempt to make Donald Trump look like Key's.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Heaven forbid, we deport gang, violent, criminal gang members. Nobody know.
Where were the judges when he was flying in every
illegal alien in the millions into this country for four
straight years? Didn't hear anything about it. But Lawrence Jones
from Fox News wanted to ask Tom Homan a serious
question because it looks like he's got as an antagonist
in his life now, these federal judges. So let's hear

(05:12):
what Lawrence Jones asks and what Tom Homan has to say.
You've got to run out of money.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
It doesn't look like you're getting support from the Democrats
on this.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
You got you're going against the judges. Now, what's next?

Speaker 5 (05:24):
Another flight?

Speaker 2 (05:28):
We're just going to send you more.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
What's next, another flight?

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Another flight? It's that easy, he says.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
In one of his interviews. I just don't think a
judge can tell the United States when it has a
plane full of known terrorists that are in international airspace
that they have to turn around and bring terrorists back
into this country. Yeah, it's not it's not in their
scope of work, or their or their jurisdiction. So, and
you know, the Democrats, they have done this because they

(05:55):
didn't care when the Supreme Court said to Biden, you
can't pay off the student loans. They went forward with
it in order to get That wasn't international waters, that
wasn't a plain full of terrorists. That was just them
just defying the Supreme Court. They have so abused the
rule of law. And this isn't abusing the rule of law.
But you can't clutch your pearls now when you have
made such a mockery of our process up until now.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Well, well look what Trump has done, Greg again, he
has boxed the Democrats into a corner and they don't
know how to get out of it. Like you just mentioned,
we had Joe Biden who allowed how many ten, ten,
eight to ten million people into this country, right, and
nobody said anything, Okay, And then we have the Democrats

(06:36):
boxed into a corner because they're defending Trend deer Ragua.
They are having to defend Trend de i Ragul right
now because of what Trump is doing to get him
out of the country. So he has boxed them into
a corner. They don't know how to respond to that.
Another example of Trump being way ahead of the game
on them and putting the Democrats in position as to

(07:00):
what do we do now.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
How the Democrats have how they have seated just common
sense that was never actually even partisan in the past,
and it is just not a place they want to go.
They want to be, they want to even defend. It's
amazing to me because you can't watch a border completely unenforced,
see the illegal entry and then them participating in helping
by flying them throughout the country and flying in the

(07:26):
face of the rule of law, and then you're taking
the worst of the worst the gang members that are
in they're one of the largest multinational gangs, multinational gangs
and now on the list of terrorists organizations in the world,
and they are defending them. They want them back in
this country. They want them to go through a due process.

(07:46):
Do you guys do you remember Ilian Gonzalez back in
like twenty something, twenty five years ago. Yeah, the poor child,
his mother escapes Cuba and it's a it's a boat
and they all drown except for the little boy. They
put them on an inner tube and he's little. Two
fishermen find him, bring him to Miami. He's reunited with
his uncle. They want him to stay. What is Bill
Clinton and Janet Reno and and what do they do?

(08:10):
Guns in that child's face in the in the home
of the uncle, with the fisherman holding that poor child
and deporting that kid. The Democrats want to deport that
little kid out of this country and back to Cuba
as a refugee. But they want to well, you got
to bring those gang members back here. You can't deport them.
Same federal judge telling them to deport the kid, same
federal not the same judge, but a federal judge saying, oh,

(08:33):
bring these gang members back here, hurry, get them back
in here, hundreds of them. Get them in here. We
need them here.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, we need them here. That's why he's got them
boxed into a corner. Yet again. Now real quick, we
are not the only country in the world right now,
who is having immigration problems. As a matter of fact,
today at Saint Patrick's Day during the White House Press
briefing tomorrow, a certain individual showed up and talked about
immigration in his country.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yes, this is the Connor McGregor, UFC Mixed Martial Arts
champion talking about he's here. It's not a coincidence on
St Patrick's Day, but he took the podium at the
White House and had this to say.

Speaker 6 (09:11):
What is going to run in Ireland is a travesty.
Our government is the government of zero action with zero accountability.
You know, our money is being spent on overseas issues
that has nothing to do with the Irish people. The
illegal immigration rackets is running ravage on the country. There
are rural towns in Ireland that have been over running

(09:31):
one sloop that have become a minority.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
In one swoop. So issues natively addressed.

Speaker 6 (09:36):
And the forty million Irish Americans, as I said, need
to hear this because.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
If not, there will be no place to come home
and visit. Yeah. And so he's speaking with what they're
not and this is that European movement for their immigration
where they're trying to get cheap labor and it's coming
at the expense of these countries or culture. There are people,
their safety, you name it, their jobs. We're trying to
different path here, and I says we're going to go

(10:01):
different routes.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
There are six hundred and seventy seven federal judges in
this country today. Do we have six hundred and seventy
seven unelected presidents? We'll get into that coming up on
the Roding Greg Show. Great to be with you on
this Saint Patrick's Day in Utah's Talk Radio one O
five nine ky nrs ore Leprecaun, mister Hughes decked out
and Irish green today celebrating Saint Patrick.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Little fighting Irish over here.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Well, there are some fighting words going on in Washington
over a federal judge and if his efforts to block
efforts by the Trump administration to deport Trendy I Ragwad
gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. A lot of
people are saying you can't do that, and Donald Trump said,
oh yeah, try me.

Speaker 7 (10:45):
Well.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Joining us on our Newsmaker line to talk about that
and other judicial action against the president is Hans von Spakowski.
He is the legal analyst at the Heritage Foundation. Hans
how are you great to have you back on the show.

Speaker 8 (10:58):
Well, thanks for having me. Yeah, it's things have really
heated up in Washington. It's not only springtime, but all
the heat coming out of out of Congress in the
White House too.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Hans. There have been by I heard someone say today
fifteen juvenile injunctions against the Trump judicial injunctions against the
Trump administration trying to get something done in this country.
Have you ever seen anything like this?

Speaker 8 (11:23):
Hans, No, we haven't. And you know, we've heard lots
of critics of Trump say, oh, this is causing a
constitutional crisis. Well they're correct, but the constitutional crisis isn't
being caused by Donald Trump. It's being caused by an
imperial judiciary and federal district court judges who are acting

(11:45):
way outside of their jurisdiction and their authority.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
So you know, I've asked this from the beginning. We
saw this begin right after the President Trump's took office,
and you saw that this pace was not going to
be one we'd ever seen before. He was going to
the movie is going to move quickly. He knows he's
on the clock. So you started to see these judges
intercept or interrupt his work and I've been asking the question,
isn't there an overarching or an umbrella Supreme Court ruling

(12:12):
that would really pull the judiciary into it. You know,
it's separate but equal powers, and people think it has
to go case by case. Is that how you see it?
How do you get this judiciary reigned back in?

Speaker 8 (12:24):
Well, the Supreme Court needs to step in, And in fact,
they had a good chance to do it on March fifth,
which is only a short time ago, and they didn't
do it. Look, the Supreme Court, on many previous occasions,
has has set out the rules for federal district courts,
which are the trial courts of the federal system. Those

(12:47):
judges don't have jurisdiction outside of their districts. So, for example,
the judges in Northern California that issued an injunction against
the Trump administration Washington, well, his jurisdiction is Northern California, right,
And there's all kinds of other restrictions, and all these
judges are ignored. A week and a half ago, on

(13:09):
an emergency peal, one of these cases got to the
Supreme Court. It was over a Manhattan federal drudge ordering
that USAID payout two billion dollars that the President had suspended.
The Supreme Court unfortunately refused to step in. It was

(13:32):
a five to four decision. The Supreme Court said, well,
we're not going to step in. Now, We're going to,
you know, let this work its way through the lower courts.
But listen, Justice Alito wrote a stinging descent that really
describes all of this, saying the idea that a single
district court judge would have the unchecked power to compel

(13:56):
the government to pay out two billion taxpayer dollars probably
lose him forever. He said he was just stunned that
the Court didn't step in and stop it. That's what's
got to happen.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
I want to ask you, hunh, I mean, how risky
is it, because I get a sense that President Trump
is putting a lot of eggs in the Supreme Court
basket on this issue in light of what you just
mentioned last week. How risky is it for the president
to kind of lean on the Supreme Court to help
him out in this case? In these cases, well, I.

Speaker 8 (14:29):
Think it's actually the right move because we'll finally get
decisions made about this. I mean, for example, let me
give you another one. Remember a couple of weeks ago,
Trump fired a guy named Delainger Hampton Delager right. He
was the head of the Office of Special Counsel, one
of those so called independent agencies. He was a Biden appointee,

(14:51):
and Dellinger sued saying, well, you can't fire me, and
the President went the court said well, of course I can't.
I'm the head of the executive branch. You're part of
the executive branch. I can fire you. Dellinger gets a
very liberal federal judge in the District of Columbia. I've
appeared before her before. She's a liberal wacko, and she

(15:15):
issues an order saying, oh, you can't fire him. In fact,
you have to reinstate him. That went to the Court
of Appeals. The Court of Appeals made a righteous decision
and said, no, you can't force the president to rehire
this guy when he's ahead of the executive branch. You
know what happened, Dellinger dropped the lawsuit. And I'm telling you,

(15:39):
I'm almost sure that the reason was dropped was because
all these powers that be on the left side political aisle.
I'm sure they called him and said you better not
appeal this to the US Supreme Court because you're probably
gonna lose, and we don't want that precedent set.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
That's going to be a fun rather slow baking and they.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Trying to keep his little in front of the Supreme
Court as possible.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Hans is always great having me on the show for
a few minutes, getting your insight as to what's going on.
We'll just bide our time and see what happens. Thanks Hans,
thanks for having me all right. That's Hans Bond Spokowski
is a legal scholar and expert from the Heritage Foundation.
Always love his insight as to what's going on. Everything
is these judges, these activists, judges, like he pointed out,

(16:26):
they don't have a right to rule on these cases.
It's out of their jurisdiction. It's that easy.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
You know, Chief Justice Roberts, I would expect him on
that decision to cop out. He did it with Obamacare.
You know, it's it's that's fine. But Amy Justice Amy
Cony Barrett, like what was she thinking? I mean, I
don't understand that. I really don't. So I do hope
that they can really define these these powers between these
three branches a lot better than it's being explored and

(16:52):
isn't it just something that when Biden was in charge
of Executive Branch and even Obama, you never saw the courts,
You never saw the judiciary jump in the middle of
that and stop Biden or Obama or Biden from making
all the overreach decisions they were making at the time.
They and I and if you had a Supreme Court
that said you can't pay off all those student loans,

(17:13):
they didn't care anyway. They just kept going without pause,
that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
All right, more coming up on the Rotten Greg Show
right here on this Saint Patrick's Day and Talk Radio
one oh five nine k n RS. Yeah, you're wearing
your green very proudly today, mister Hughes.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
It's because, Oh, by the way, I'm black Irish. I
don't know if you know.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
That, Okay, define, I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yes, black Irish are those that are from Ireland and
their family history is from Ireland who have.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Dark hair with blue oh okay, so.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Usually there they have light hair and red hair, and
I have the dark hair that I'm the black Irish.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
You have versions. You provide our listeners with so much.
They have a wealth of information every time they listen
to you. I try. Yeah, it's right right. Well, this
is something I hope a Utah lawmaker picks up next year.
But Texas Ovnor Greg Abbott just through his support behind
a bill that would ban non human behavior in students

(18:07):
in Texas public schools, stopping children from identifying like animals
or furries. I mean, this is the most ridiculous. I
was asking somebody about this today and pick apball. They
was saying, well, you don't talk about today on the show.
Rod and I mentioned this story, and he just said,
can you put how stupid is this? The schools allow
our kids to go to classroom dressed like like cats

(18:29):
and accommodations, Yeah, and accommodations for him as well. Well,
let's get more on this. Joining us on our Newsmaker
line right now is Terry Shilling, President of the American
Principal Project. Terry, how are you welcome to the Rod
and Greg Show?

Speaker 4 (18:42):
Ron, Greg, I'm so excited to be here.

Speaker 7 (18:44):
I do.

Speaker 4 (18:45):
I just want to say, I do pray every day
that I can start doing interviews in the future.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
On normal topics.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
I mean, it's just I'm talking about this that's trans species.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
I guess I don't know what the help going on
for a man. So look, I saw a video from
a last school year, and what turns out is some
of the accommodations for students that want to assume that
they're an animal and sometimes a cat with ears and
a tail, is that they go they actually approach students
and they pot them, and they do things almost to

(19:20):
provoke them, and when the student doesn't appreciate it and
they react, it's those student that reacts it gets in trouble.
Is this beyond just what they wear, it's even the
behavior that is interrupting the classroom experience and the educational
process in our schools.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
No, that's exactly right. This is hindering the ability to
learn for normal children in the class and to be
free from these unruly distractions. You know, when I was
growing up, if children were acting in this manner, they
would have been sent to the principal's office and given
disciplinary action because it was distracting and keeping other people

(19:58):
from learning. Right, this is appssolutely terrible. We don't allow
animals to go to school and learn. We don't pay
tax dollars for animals to go to school learn, and
they're disrupting a class and it's gotten so bad in
Texas that they have to bring forth a law against this.
And here's the thing, Greg Abbott was such a pain
in my rear end for years because he refused to

(20:20):
take action all those transforfs. He came around. He was
a great champion for us and he did all the
right things. So we're so grateful. But I'm just saying
that because he's not one of these guys that just
jumps into these culture wars just for political experiency. He
really hesitates to take action. So Greg Abbot's getting involved
here in Texas to ban what is he banning non

(20:41):
human behavior which includes hissing and biting and nuzzling, and
it's like totally licking or meowing in schools For him
to take action here, says that it's actually a problem
that's actually happening. It's just for posterous but it's all
related to this trans thing. It's all related to the
craziness that the left has inflicted in our schools. But

(21:02):
it's like, where are the teachers, Why aren't they tolering
us at all? Why aren't they sending the kids to
the principal's office and then home. This is a normal
thing there's some psychotic break where we can't even like
call out mentally ill behavior.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Terry. I bet when you and Greg and I were
in school years ago, if some kid came up to
us and licked us, we'd probably punch them in the nose.
But today you'd be afraid to even do something like
that to defend yourself, would you, Terry.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
No, that's right, and it's because American elites, and they're
all over the place, but progressive elites have started to
punish the good guys. Right, we go after Daniel Penny
for restraining a crazy homeless guy that's attacking people with
a knife and trying to kill them. That's who gets
in trouble. It's that, but it's everywhere all over the country,

(21:52):
including schools. If you touch someone, that's called assault without
them giving you permission. That's literally called a fault. Well,
but these kids are they're disrupting classroom and we wonder
why kids only a third of our kids can read
or do mathic grade level. Right, this is all related
to it. And the other thing is where are the parents, Like,
where are the parents forming these kids and saying, hey,

(22:15):
grow up, you're not doing this. It's embarrassing. It's like
we've gotten rid of shame, like healthy shame, and now
we only inflict shame on heroes and people that stand
up against insanity.

Speaker 7 (22:27):
It's nuts.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
So I work here in the stud of Utah. I
work with our sheriffs. We have twenty nine counties, twenty
nine duly elected sheriffs, and I love I work with
them on different issues. And speaking to one of the
sheriffs of one of the counties, this is a real problem.
A school called him, called the sheriff and said, we've
got an issue in our school with a student who's
behaving and acting like a cat and wanting and it

(22:50):
caught this sheriff so off guard. I think part of
the challenge here is that there is such bizarre anti social,
actually offensive or even assault behavior they could even amount
to assault, that adults don't know how to get their
head around it. Because it's being taken seriously like that,
there isn't a way to already deal with it. This
sheriff was as Whatzie said, I guess I can come

(23:13):
to the school. We can sort this. Really, I really
need to. And even in my own neighborhood where we
say students walk to the close high school. I've seen
a student that's dressed up with the ears and the tail.
I think that part of it is adults and whatever
their life experiences have informed where they are and what
they're doing today, are not ready to confront that in

(23:35):
any kind of serious way. What kind of advice would
you give our listeners, be it if their principles or
teachers or parents or anyone. If they're being confronted with
things that are just so be outside the scope of
normal behavior.

Speaker 4 (23:49):
They got to stand up to it, right, Like, the
whole thing is is that people are afraid, and also
they're afraid to take action. I mean they're not just
afraid of the consequences, they're uncommemorable giving anyone tough love. Right,
We've lost the concept of tough love. We know, like
we basically conflated love with kindness or in passivity, even

(24:11):
like people will avoid confrontation of someone even if they're
standing in the middle of the street and a bus
is going to hit them. Right, that's what's happening here.
These kids are being harmed. They need to be formed,
they need to be protected, and we're not protecting them.
We're not helping them grow you know, it's one thing
for a five year old to think that they're a DINOSAURU.
It's a whole other thing for a middle school kid

(24:31):
to actually act like an Arctic wolve, which is a
whole subset of these kids that they're like they're cats.
There's act to arctic wolves, there's all different types of furry.
But also, we got to clean up the internet, right.
I think we ultimately probably have to basically ban children
from the Internet. It is so reckless and dangerous. That'she
They're geting these ideas, and they're going to these crazy

(24:53):
art forms and these forums that in general, and they're
building like weird communities online, and it's it's totally preposterous.
If you're under a team, you can't use the Internet.
That's how bad it's gotten.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yeah, it sure has. Story. I just want to let
you know, Terry before we say goodbye. Greg and I
left our caddiers and our cattails at home today because
we knew we were going to do this story. Yeah,
we just wanted to let you know it too.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
It would have been awkward, Yeah, it would have been
a little awkward, Terry.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Hey, Terry, appreciate your time. Man As always great chatting
with you. Thanks Terry. Thanks all right, Terry Shilling, president
of the American Principles Project, here on the Rotting Greg Show,
and Greg, I'll be honest with you. I hope there
is a Utah lawmaker out there listening to this today
and we'll get something before lawmakers here in the state
of Utah.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
And just a quick listener just messaged in and said
that their child was being barked at by someone who
was acting that way, barked back and got in trouble.
Got in trouble because they were not identifying as an animal.
They were just barking back at the student that did
identify as an animal. And that student that barked back
is the one that got in trouble.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
You know, you and I often at the Utah You
and I talk about some of the most ridiculous things
each and every day. This may be the most ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
I was such a troublemaker in school. I would have
I would have taken this to I would have been
every animal you can think of. I would have I
would have really tested their patients on everything you would
I would have really taken it for a spin.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
All right, more coming up on the rout of Great
Show and Utah's Talk Radio one O five nine k
n r S.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
She had great she had great videos. Back then. MP
used to be all into the videos so weird outfits.
You probably had an outfit like that in the eighties. Well,
not a Cindy Lapper outfit, No, that you did, But
I mean she had that wrestler that I can't remember
his name, but he was in one of her videos.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Oh really he was.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Anyway, I I just enjoyed that whole decade, every year
of it.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
You like the eighties, Okay? The French. You know, we're
talking a lot about the Irish today, but the French, right,
they're a little dingy.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Lou very much, Eric Ray good if you googled that
or you knew that top of your habitat alban I love. Yeah, Well,
the French watching wrestle like crazy. Sorry, go back to
your French. The cheese eaters, they are French. Now, I
can make front of the French because I'm as French
as French can be with a name like I've got
It's French, right, I can make fun of the French,

(27:14):
and I'm not French, so.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
I don't make fun of the Irish. But there there
was a lower French official who had a suggestion and
was saying basically that because American values don't reflect the
values of France anymore, that they would like the statue
of liberty pack. Okay, okay, well, Carolyn Levitt at the

(27:41):
White House Press briefing today was asked about that idea.

Speaker 9 (27:45):
There is now a member of the European Parliament from
France who does not think the US represents the values
of the Statue of Liberty anymore. They want the Statue
of Liberty back. So is President Trump going to send
a statue of liberty packs to France.

Speaker 10 (28:00):
Absolutely not. And my advice to that unnamed, low level
French politician would be to remind them that it's only
because of the United States of America that the French
are not speaking German right now. So they should be
very grateful to our great country.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yes, I love it so great, youngest youngest Press secretary.
And you know what, what a what a great response.
How about a simple thank you France, that'd be nice.
How about that. You know that the French tanks they
only got one gear reverse, you know that, right, And
that's a problem.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
In there today. Well, what a stupid idea. Send it,
Send the statue of liberty back to us. Just start
that conversation with us again. I think she put it
very well that they would be speaking German if not
for the United States. Uh, you know and their allies.
We all kind of chipped in and helped them.

Speaker 7 (28:54):
You know.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
You can get after me or the last for weeks
where I've talked about we need snow to help the
water supply. Yes, well you had this for today, like
we're at what ninety eight percent now?

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Yes, we were sweating. Look we got all the pre
sip we need. Everybody that's been crying about the you know,
we don't. We need more rain, You need more snow.
Utah snowpack has scratched and clawed its way back and
is now ninety eight percent of normal and on the
precipice of jumping above normal. Given this upcoming storm that

(29:27):
we have coming tonight and tomorrow morning in northern Utah,
we should be comfortably above normal by this time next week.
So everybody quit praying for rain. Quit praying for it.

Speaker 11 (29:37):
All.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
We want sunshine and warmth. That's all I want. I
don't want any more storms. Lindsay over a KUTV says,
we're gonna get you know, like eighteen feet of snow. No,
just about one to four inches in the valley tomorrow.
It was sixty degree hees last week. I just look
at me. I'm wearing my I'm wearing this gull shirt
that is like either Masters, you know masters or you know,

(30:02):
thank Happy or Saint Patrick's Day. Green. I'm ready for golf.
I'm ready for the you know.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Can you believe what happened Saturday? We had sunshine, we
had rain, we had snow, we had hail, we had
sleep all in one day. Yes, it was a weird
day on Saturday.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
I felt the hail.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Yeah, did you Oh? I got dinged a little bit
by it too. All right, five o'clock Owery, coming your way.
We want to get your reaction to what President Trump
is doing to those poor, poor, pitiful criminals here in
the United States, sending them to all self.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yes, are you outraged?

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Are you outraged? Feel like when the president is doing
we'll talk about it.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Coming up back, Tappy Patty's Day.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
You're my little lepre con over there today, dressed up
in green. Wow, I'm tracing your roots today.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
I don't know if I'm a leper coum, but I
am a lucky something given that when I was born
my parents were not married. One could call me a bastard,
but a lucky bastard.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
So that's what you consider yourself, bastard. You well, where
would we be without the Gipper, the great communicator himself. Yes,
Ronald Reagan, who irishman, good irishman, Irish who years ago
had one of the great Irish jokes on Saint Patty's Day.
Here's what he said.

Speaker 12 (31:24):
It's an honor and a pleasure for me to be
here with you, sharing the spirit and the festivities of
Saint Patrick's Day. The blessed Saint Patrick, we are told,
died on this day in the year of our Lord
for sixty one and leave it to the Irish to
be carrying on awake for fifteen hundred years. It's an

(31:45):
honor and a pleasure for me to be here.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
He's right, yes, on awake for fifteen sixteen hundred years now.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yes, yeah, I don't think it's a stereotype to say,
because I have relatives where this would have been consistent
that the Irish, they many of them believed that Irish
Americans believe that whiskey is milk. So's you know my
grand my pet Grandpap Francis McGuire, you know he's he
so get this story. I'm a kid and perhaps perhaps

(32:17):
red not blue ribbon beer, but perhaps had a brand
of beer called red White.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
And blue, Red.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
White and blue, and and it was actually a complete
aluminum can. I was in the fifth grade, and we
had a recycling drive and every week, whoever brought the
most recyclable things would win. And I found out that
these red white and blue beer cans uniquely were aluminum,
and so they got me extra point like I was

(32:43):
really I would get I would do really well in
recycling cap So my Pat McGuire under the banner, once
he found out that he was helping his grandson a
when a contest be doing his part to recycle and
be a good citizen, he rought he fill a burlap feedback.
Every week I would go to his I we go

(33:04):
to watch the Steeler game, and I would have a big,
tall as me at the time feedback full of empty games,
red aluminum, red white and blue paps, red white and
blue cans, a full feedback. It was burlap. It was
it was tall to me, and I take I'd haul
that thing on the bus on Monday morning and take
it in and I would win. I get these certificates

(33:25):
that I was the best recycler of the whole fifth
grade class.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
So can we assume that Pappy was drinking all that bad.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
McGuire, You better believe it. Those were all his Grandma
McGuire did not drink those. That was just all pap.
So good World War two veteran had you know, had.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Pictures what a great paps helping his gst drinking as
much beer as he could as.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Soon as he saw the good cause. Boy, he was
all in.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
The Irish all right.

Speaker 6 (33:48):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
The big story of the day, of course, is the
you know, the deporting of violent criminals to that wonderful
spa like jail and else helps. Now, all the legacy
media MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC will lead you to
believe that Donald Trump ignored a judge's order to turn

(34:11):
the plane around this weekend and put it back home. Right,
he had no authority to do that, but he did
it anyways. Now, what the traditional crisis, what the judge
forgot was that it was over. It had almost landed
in El Salvador when he issued his ruling. But apparently
those on the left still believe that Donald Trump is

(34:32):
being mean and they are now defending violent criminals that
are here illegally in the US to begin with, and
their claiming that they have certain rights and those rights
need to be protected.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Yes, well, if you have terrorists. If you have, and
they are now classified as such. This trende of Arragua
Gang Venzwelian gang members. They are on the They are
terrorists now, I mean designated as they should this. I
did some research over the weekend. They are in This
is a multi national criminal organization. This isn't just some

(35:07):
crips and bloods in South La thing, okay. This is
a It is human trafficking and human smuggling. It is
drug trafficking and fentanyl and drug trafficking. It is kidnapping
for ransom, It is illegal mining in some of these
other countries. It is a diabolical, extremely violent gang and
it is across in many many nations. And they do

(35:28):
deserve to have that designation attached to them because of
the crimes and the horrors that they are committing. And
to think that we would have Democrats who want to
lay down, you know, just to lay on the swords
for these terrorists. It's laughable, absolutely laughable. Greg.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
These performative stunts that the Democrats are doing right now
and have been doing since Donald Trump tried to run
a ran for offense back in twenty fifteen, But all
these stunts, do you think it's led to this?

Speaker 7 (35:57):
Greg?

Speaker 5 (35:57):
First up this morning, a brand new, exclude CNN poll
that paints a brutal reality for Democrats as they struggle
to mount a unified opposition to President Trump. American's favorable
views of the Democratic Party brand are at a record low,
just twenty nine percent. That's compared to thirty six percent
for Republicans. It is the lowest ever recorded for Democrats

(36:20):
and CNN polling going back more than thirty years. As
you can see, the party's numbers dropping a staggering twenty
points in just four years. The CNNSRSRS poll also found
fifty seven percent of Democrats and Democratic leaning voters are
more interested in seeing their party leaders stop the GOP agenda,
compared to forty two percent who are more interested in

(36:41):
cutting bipartisan deals.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Do you think the Democrats will figure ever? Figure? Out
Gray why they're not very popular right now?

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Do you think them not with the rhetorics that they're
thrown out there right now? I don't know that they will,
can do? You have qued up the other side of
that coin. So seven percent are positive rating for Democrats.
But what does what do Americans think? On track off
track for the country.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Yeah, here's here's what NBC also reported this weekend.

Speaker 13 (37:10):
First of all, the mood of the country. This really
jumped out. We asked, folks, is it on the right
direction or the wrong direction? That forty four percent? You say,
right direction? That's up since November. And if that doesn't
seem like a lot the last time it cracked forty percent,
you got to go back to twenty twelve. The last
time it actually hit forty four or higher January of
two thousand and four. So a lot of this is Republicans,

(37:32):
but independence that number has also up since the election.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
On the direction of the country, that is Steve Kornaky
on Meet the Press yesterday and it's you know, those
two sound bites, Greg really do show something. First of all,
the Democrats aren't popular right now, and they wonder why
because the mood of the country is positive. I mean,
it's you know, it's been like he just indicated, it
hasn't been forty percent for quite some time. And the

(37:55):
American people are saying, you know what, Donald Trump, and
I run You probably run into these people all the
time as well.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
Greg.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
People will say to me, you know, I really don't
like him, but he's doing good things. And I think
the American people are looking at this and saying, he's
doing good things on immigration, trying to do something on
the economy, trying to do something on world affairs. Donald
Trump is doing the things that he told the American
people he would do if you elected him, and he's
following through on his promises. The American people like that.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
And I don't know what you don't like about Trump.
The guy doesn't even need a runway of the first
one hundred days, which is usually the you know, the
yardstick to measure an incoming administration. He's doing it so quickly. Again,
let's go back the lowest polling approval rating approval rating
for Democrats as a political party that they've ever pulled.
It's for very favorable it's at seven percent. Yeah, but

(38:47):
you'd say, well, that means that the country's just in
a bad place. Everybody's just generally negative. No, the opposite,
there hasn't. They haven't cracked forty percent right direction since
twenty twelve. They haven't been at forty four percent since January,
which is the first month of two thousand and four.
That's when they so how people feel today hasn't been
felt collectively by this country since January of two thousand

(39:09):
and four. Now is that's still less than fifty percent,
But when you were in the twenty percent tile not
long ago of right direction. This is a trajectory that
nobody can deny is going in a way that nobody
predicted that Donald Trump could actually take this country its
sentiment as quickly as it has. So it let the
Democrats and they're going in the exact opposite direction. It's

(39:30):
as if this to be a successful Democrat, you have
to be able to destroy things and get people miserable
about how badly things have been destroyed, and then effectively
blame the Republicans. That's what you have to be to
be a successful Democrat party. If you don't do those
three things, destroy it, make sure people are miserable about
what you've destroyed, and then effectively place it at the
feet of Republicans. You don't have a party, you don't

(39:53):
have anything to say. So now that he and Republicans
are moving things in the right direction, they just keep
getting work. I keep looking at this image of the
Democrats deporting this little boy, this Ilian Gonzalez. Yes, who
got who is a refugee and got forced back to
Cuba at gunpoint. The guy's got you know, he's all weaponized.

(40:13):
He's got his gun, automatic weapon in the faces. Child
is screaming, that's who the Democrats want to deport back
to Cuba. President Trump's taking these transnational criminal organization members
and deporting them, and Republican Democrats are furious. They'd rather
keep the gang members and deport the kid.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
They just do not how to know how to read
the room, and that is not reading the room or
reading the country right now, they have no clue as
to where the country is on all of this right now.
Yet they're out they're defending furries, they're defending transgender athletes,
they're out defending violent criminals. They're out defending every other

(40:52):
country that is attacking the United States. They're defending them
because of Donald Trump, and they wonder why they can't
connect with the American people. They do not get it.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
They don't And there's no example of this globalist agenda
and no honor that's going on in countries where countries
are losing their identity through rapid immigration on unchecked immigration
into those countries where it's actually working well for the
people of those countries, there's no example of it. So
I think that we are pushing back in a way
that we haven't seen the world the rest of the

(41:24):
world do, and I think we're going to seize a
lot of it. We are seeing benefit from it.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Well, we want to we want to hear what you
think tonight about this two questions out there. First of all,
do you support the president in his effort to get
rid of violent criminals and send them elsewhere and deport them,
deport them maybe Dale Salvador, do you agree with that?
And do you agree do you think the country is
headed in a right direction Americans? The numbers you heard them,
what forty four percent of the American people now think

(41:50):
that way, and it's been years since that's been you know,
pulled in that direction here in the country. So that's
what we want to hear from you tonight eight eight
eight five seven o eight zero one zero eight eight
eight five seven eight zero one zero, or on your
cell phone, I'll pound two to fifteen say hey, Rod,
your calls and comments coming up if you're just joining
us now. We're talking about a couple of things. Over

(42:10):
the weekend. Of course, there was a judge, an activist
judge appointed by Barack Obama, who tried to stop Donald
Trump from sending violent criminals who are in this country
illegally to begin with, to a jail in L Salvador.
The problem was when the judge issued the order, the
plane was close to landing in L. Salvador in international waters,

(42:32):
so there was really nothing he could do about it.
And the Trump administrated this administration said, oh yeah, yeah,
here's what they did, and they led. They If you've
seen the video, and both you and I Greg have
seen this video today, I mean they're being hustled off
the buses, their heads are being shaved, they're being rushed
into these prisons right away. And if any of you

(42:54):
have seen pictures of this El Salvador in prison, you
probably wouldn't want to go there.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
I think it's inspiring. I think the video is. So
I just appreciate it. I appreciate and now you realize
why they were hustling, you know, getting out there and
not international waters before the Libs could get their judges
to cry about it. So I love it.

Speaker 12 (43:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
So we're talking about that, and we're talking about a
poll that came out over the weekend, kind of all
tied together. If they if you, as Americans believe the
country is headed in the right directions. The numbers grass
were greg We're pretty impressive. What was forty four percent.
It's been a long time since this country has had
a forty percent number.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
It was January of two thousand and four.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
Yeah, believing that the country is headed in the right
direction over twenty one years. So why do people believe that?
Why do you think people believe the country is headed in.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
The right direction. It's because because Donald Trump learning from
his first term. He did a lot of things in
that first term, but he went through a lot as well.
He's under he understands that job so well. It's he
came and loaded for bear and the progress made and
now in five with social media and the left not
having complete censorship and control of social media, meaning that

(44:07):
you can get the truth out there. The American people
are living through these real time decisions. Do you know,
it's just something small like we haven't even talked about
Yemen and the Husis who got absolutely shut down. They
have been shutting down the shipping lanes, you know, and
and shooting at American ships, the cargo ships as well
as the military vessels and nothing, and Biden didn't do

(44:29):
anything about it. Man, the earth shook this weekend and
all of that has come to an abrupt halt. This
is a message to Iran. But we get to watch
that in real time. This isn't something that you you
there's you know, you have to wait and you have
to find out a year later about what happened before.
We're watching this unfold in real time. And even when
President Trump announces that these terrorists have been stopped, he

(44:54):
sends a real time message to Iran. We know you're
funding them, and this is for you, and and that
is and you know, that's not the diplomacy that takes
you twelve months, twenty four months to do. That's happening
as we're watching the video of the of the car explode,
the everything else happened. It's anyway So I just think
that is why America feels optimistic, because the transparency has

(45:15):
never been better. The communication is at a high, high level.
We see what's going on, and I think Americans approve, frankly,
of something better than what we've been living through in
the past.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
Yeah. Better means doing absolutely nothing and allow everything to happen. Well,
Donald Trump is a man of action. There's no doubt
about it, Greg that he made all these promises to
the American voters, and I just think he's following through
on every one of them right now. I mean, he
walked off the golf course for crying out loud on
Saturday to watch the attack. Yes, hey, put on a

(45:47):
pair of headphoneses make America great again, had on in
his golf attire watching what the armed forces of the
United States of America could do to the hoo Thies.
And you're right, sending a message to Iran. Don't be
scrolling with us, folks, because you're next if you don't
behave There.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
Used to be an action, okay, and then there was
a consequence, and then there'd be an aftermath, and that
that incubation period between the action, the consequence and the
aftermath was a year, two years of diplomatic whatever. We're
seeing that in a day two days. Well, used to
take a year. And even a Secretary of State, Marco Rubio,
has talked about this, how these negotiations. You had a

(46:27):
president turned a plane around in the middle of the
air before he could land. The president said, okay, just fine,
you could do that, and there was a change of
heart within hours of that move. He said it would
take years before to try and sort through that decision
making between two countries and heads of state. It's happening
in real time, and I'm telling you he understands it
enough that these are not reckless or you know, shooting

(46:50):
from the hip. He understands the world we live in,
and some of this stuff, Rod He's been saying since
the eighties. He's been talking about America's strengths since the eighties,
and this is just him being able to knowing how
finally having a cabinet that he can trust, they can
really implement the things that he's been talking about.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
I wanted to bring that up. He now has a
team that believes the same things. I mean, every every
member of that cabinet is doing what he wants to
see being done, and he didn't have that in his
first term. He didn't I might understand Washington. The first term,
he had some you know, a swamp creatures as members
of his administration, and they didn't like what he was doing.

(47:26):
And there were lakes have you, alicus, no leaks coming
out of the White House.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
It's about time. I mean I never saw them in
Obama's or even Biden's administration. You never saw, but you
saw it in Trump's ad nauseum. And now that's not happening.
And I'm so glad. And I think Susie what's her name,
while well, she's I think she's an incredible chief estabf.
I think she's doing a phenomenal job just because it's
you know, you're not seeing the pettiness in the in

(47:51):
the chirping that we were hearing in his first term.
So I just think America needed, we needed this shot
in the arm. We needed to see things improve measurably.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
I think Trump calls are the Iron Maiden or the
Iron Lady, something like that. Don't mess with her, all right,
your calls eight eight eight five seven oh eight zero

Speaker 2 (50:01):
If you're just joined in us on your way home tonight,
a couple of things we're talking about and having a
conversation with you tonight. First of all, do you support
what the President has done and getting rid of these
violent criminals who never should have been in this country
in the first place. A judge tried to block it
on Saturday night. But the administration, Nah, too late, We're
almost there. We're going in and dumping these guys off.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
They're in international waters. Judge missed the flight.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Yeah, well sorry, Judge. And then a poll over the weekend,
forty four percent of the American people now feel the
United States is headed in the right direction. We haven't
had that high of a number four but since two
thousand and four.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
And look, it's still underwater. But I'll tell you what,
a twenty percent, at least a twenty percent swing from
the dark days of the Biden administration. And so I
would absolutely concur that we are seeing everything trending in
the right direction, because you're seeing also the opinion of
Democrats plummeting at the same time, which again one I
think it does actually equate to the other. So well,

(51:03):
what say you, folks? Number is eight eight eight five
seven zero eight zero one zero. Where do you think
right direction? Wrong direction? And then what do you think
about the Trump and the deport deporting these gang members,
these violent gang members. Are you for it or are
you as mad as the Democrats are that they actually
did it.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Let's go to the phones and find out what you
think Jedi is in West Valley tonight, wanting to weigh
in on this. Jedi, how are you welcome to the
Roden Great Show.

Speaker 14 (51:32):
Well, I'm feeling blessed. I woke up breathing, So there
you go.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
That's a plus.

Speaker 14 (51:38):
Yeah, I will have to say that I'm a true independent.
I vote for Democrat or Republican based on merit. I
voted for Governor Cox blah blah blah. Besides the point,
I don't really like to choose side, but there are
some fundamental issues that I'm seeing here that need to

(51:59):
be addressed in humble opinion.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
Okay, do share?

Speaker 2 (52:03):
Do share? Yeah?

Speaker 14 (52:06):
Well, first off, why are we cutting all these federal
employees irs? B A. Why are we looking at that
before we analyze how much money can be saying if
we stop this corporate subsidies, like all these oil subsidies
that we're given, these oil corporations that are property in

(52:26):
the billions every year.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
Well, first of all, I tell you, Jedi, let's say,
don't use any of your Jedi mind tricks on the Jedi.
But I because you know I'll be puttying in your hands.
But let me just to your point. I know that
the Democrats are like, are saying that the Medicaid, social Security, Medicare,
I R S v A, these are individuals that are
all being cut and real program is being cut. But

(52:52):
what they're really finding is what I understand is a
lot of waste, a lot of no show jobs, but
a lot of waste and money that's being shuttled. That
would protein these programs from any cuts because there's so
much waste going on. As far as the you know,
subsidies to oil coming out, I'm not friend said, why.

Speaker 14 (53:07):
Aren't we seeing the receipts? With that being said, why
aren't we seeing the receipts? If they had actual stuff,
you guys would be broadcasting it every day with actual,
literal examples of what they found and not doing that now.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
But well, there are there are search engines that are
showing it. So Data Republican go look it up on X.
Data Republican, you put in you put in the NGOs,
you'll see a lot of money shuffling around.

Speaker 14 (53:31):
They off of social media. Okay, they offer social media.
I believe that is worse than listening to the radio
or getting it from the newspapers. I believe that we're
getting rammed that way. Don't even get me.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
Started on if you've seen of federal spending that are
lacking now that you have been able to review, and
you understood prior to the DOJE effort or the effort
to find efficiencies.

Speaker 14 (53:58):
What what receives directions dose is already made. Okay, they've
lifted many things that were found to be incorrect and
they pulled them off the report, and.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
They welcomed the scrutiny. But I'm saying, what receipts have
you seen? But what receipts? Because you've had the New
York Times, everyone that was always it was always assumed
that the federal government was wasting money, We had empty
federal buildings. No one really challenged it.

Speaker 14 (54:20):
What receipts we subsidized in oil companies that are very profitable.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
Well, show me the receipt on that, because I hate
that one too. I want to cut that. Show me
the receipt. I'll give you an email address. Give me
the receipt.

Speaker 14 (54:30):
And why are we engaging in caribs? That is going
to make us have to subsidize farmers yet again, just.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
Like that's that's that's saving our food industry and having
an agricultural community.

Speaker 7 (54:42):
Look it up.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
Here's the deal. You've got to have a manufacturing industry
in this country, and you can keep exporting all those
jobs Jedi, and you're not going to have anything. But
we're just gonna buy everyone's the world's everything, and we're
going to be able to make nothing. And if you
think that makes a stronger economy a stronger country, well
you and the Democrats are in league. You guys think
the same way. That's your worldview. What I'm going to

(55:07):
tell you is, and Trump's been saying to since the eighties,
you have to be able to make it. You have
to be able to have it. Our food supply farmers
can make the food that we need here. We don't
have to go out overseas. If you're afraid of tariffs
for food, then that means we're not making it here.
And we need to make that food here. And they've
already here. Canada's tariffing our dairy two hundred and fifty percent.

(55:30):
How come that doesn't make you mad?

Speaker 2 (55:32):
Donald Donald Trump is saying to the rest of the world,
let's play fair, so you know, and the rest of
the world is saying, well, you can't teif us well,
wait a minute. Why is it fair for you to
teariff the United States but the United States can't terrify
milk try fifty? Why you name it?

Speaker 1 (55:51):
We we haven't been given a peep on that. The
receipts on the terraff and the two hundred percent for
dairy going north. Yes, has been no problem up till now.
Give me a break. It's called reciprocal trade agreements. It's
it's called life is a two way street, Jedi. You
know you give as good as you get. You treat
people the way you want to be treated. Make it
a two way street, and then you've got yourself a plan.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
And cutting have you?

Speaker 1 (56:13):
Did you?

Speaker 2 (56:13):
I don't know how many of you. I don't know
if you even saw this. Over the weekend, Kerry Lake,
who's now in charge of global media right Voice of America,
was inside a brand new, beautiful building that the Biden
administration signed. At least to nobody is in it. There's
no need for it whatsoever. Where this global media this
like Voice of America already broadcasting. They're in an older building.

(56:35):
But who said that couldn't be retrofitted, modernized instead of
buying this very expensive glass taj Mahal in Washington and
not a soulent.

Speaker 1 (56:46):
Their receipt for that. Did you see the receipt.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
I haven't seen the receipt. Yeah, just showed us.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
Yeah, you saw it on the boat. Yeah. So I
think there's plenty of waste out there, waste for a
number years. And I'm going to tell you money laundering
going on that we have seen plenty of that nobody
was talkingtalking about prior to this new administration coming on here.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
I have a question for you, Greg. We often talk
about NGOs, yes, right, okay, non governmental agencies and organizations. Yip,
Why do we call them non governmental agencies when they're
getting money from the federal government.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
Because it's a way for the government to send money
that doesn't get audited, that you don't no one can
control or even oversee what they do with it.

Speaker 7 (57:21):
It is.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
It is a side hustle that the bureaucracy's been using
in the trillions.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
For a long time. Casey is a north Ogden Tonight
wants to weigh in on the Rod and Greg show. Casey,
how are you? Thanks for joining us?

Speaker 7 (57:34):
Hey, I'm great, Rod and Greg. Hey, Greg, I just
wanted to let you know you might remember me. We
met one time before and I said, you remind me
of mel Gibson. It was a Republican convention. Did you
remember that?

Speaker 1 (57:48):
I do, sir, thank you, thank you. My grandmother would
always say that. To my grand Maxine would always say
the same thing, thank you, thank you. Casey. So what's
say you about about Trump and all the things he's
doing right now?

Speaker 7 (57:59):
I was so excited to hear that the judge's order
came down. I'm saying to turn around, turn the plane around,
and bring those guys back. And when they said, well,
sorry that we're out of US air space and they're
on their way to Salvador, it just brought a big

(58:19):
smile to my face. I was so happy to hear that.
And boy, what a message to those gang members. If
you watch the news, are on the TV, those guys
getting their haircut, headed into prison. I just think it's awesome.
The other thing that I had a question on is
they had one of the senators on from Montana and

(58:42):
he said that eight of those gang members were taken
out of Bozeman, Montana, a little town, like, yeah, maybe
if I'm a little town, but comparatively speaking, both of
Montana they rounded up eight of them and sent them back.
But it also showed the states across the United States
where and that's thirteen and trende Uragua gang members were located,

(59:06):
and Utah was there on the list.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (59:09):
And I want to know what are thyse? What are those?
What are those guys doing in Utah? And out come
uh spence for coxs allowing them to be here? How
come they haven't been rounded up and sim packen.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
Well, ca'se a good question, Stambay. You never know what
they're doing here, probably the same thing they're doing in
every state in which they've been identified. You may have
a better handle on that the sheriffs would know.

Speaker 1 (59:33):
Yes, I'll tell you this. There is multi jurisdictional task
forces with sheriffs as well as police cities, police departments,
with the federal authorities that are working on Trendaygua gangs
that are present and operating in the state of Utah.
And the problem we have is with a Utah media
that has put such a high premium on refugees generally

(59:54):
that when you talk about these so called refugees which
which Biden again abused a lot of and try to
put them in that category. They don't want to point
out that these are just so they'll say a Venezuelan
man committed this crime or they'll say this person, and
they won't really connect those dots. Understand that our law
enforcement is aware of it. There is a lot of
work federally as well as state and local authorities that

(01:00:17):
are law enforcement authorities that are working on it. And
if it was tiny, you wouldn't have these task forces
working as hard as they are. They're just they're they're
you know, they just don't they don't televise it, they
don't publicize it, but they're working hard and they are folks,
sad to say, present and operating in this state. And
there's that's why there's a lot of work to try
and turn around. But I wish our media was a

(01:00:38):
little bit more transparent on when these arrests occur, who
these people are, who they are, and what they represent.
They represent this international criminal organization, terrorist organization, that's who
they represent.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
All right? More coming up more your phone calls eight
eight eight five seven eight zero one zero on your
cell phone. I'll pound two to fifteen and say, hey,
Rod Moore, coming up on the rotting Showizen Hugh and
I'm Rod our kid. Coming up in the six o'clock Cower,
we'll explore the debate over deporting a individual who is
here and has basically caused a lot of trouble at

(01:01:14):
Columbia University and the administration led by Marco Ruby, who
is trying to get rid of them. And we'll get
into the issue is is it a free speech issue
or not? That's coming up in the six o'clock Cower.
Right here on the Rod and Greg Show. They're trying
to queue up something.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
No, I'm not ready, No, I'll have it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
Okay, Okay, we were talking about the country headed in
the right direction.

Speaker 4 (01:01:39):
Greg.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
Two other signs of it. You ready for this? Christy Nome,
head of Department of Homeland Security announcing over the weekend
and expansion of the border wall in Arizona. They're going
to be adding another seven miles to the border. Doesn't
sound like a lock, but every step is in the
right direction. Here's another one, Texas unwinding Operation Loan Star

(01:02:02):
after illegal immigrants stopped crossing the border. Remember Texas sent troopers,
they sent National guardsmen down there to close the border
or defend the border. They're now pulling them off because
not enough people are crossing the border illegally anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
Yeah, it's you know what, And that's and so when
you see that the issue is coming off of the
radar screen in terms of immigration being one of the
top issues direct because every state doesn't feel like a
border state at the moment, and you're seeing a ninety
plus percent drop. That means he's doing his job and
that's why it's not weighing on people's minds in the
right direction he used to do.

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
That's for sure. That's for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:02:35):
That's a win.

Speaker 2 (01:02:36):
Yeah, that's a win. That's why the country forty four
percent of the country, the highest number in a very
long time, now believe that the country is on the
right track. The Democrats can figure that out. As a
matter of fact, Chris Murphy over the weekend said, what
we need to do is fight Donald Trump. Harter not
gonna work, folks. It simply is not going to work.
And he can talk about that, and the Democrats can

(01:02:58):
talk about that instead of to deal and handle what
Trump is trying to do. They're going to fight them
every step of the way, and the American people are
just going to like, like you less and less as
the time goes on.

Speaker 1 (01:03:10):
When we come back next hour, I do have that clip.
Do you have this too late? Now?

Speaker 7 (01:03:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
Okay, darn it, five seconds away from getting out of you.

Speaker 1 (01:03:18):
No, I mean at the next the next hour, in
the six o'clock hour, we'll get a little clip.

Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
Good good, all right, more coming up, stay with us
the Rotten Gregg Show. I'm surprising him. Painter face green.

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
No, I didn't have to do that. I get the
hat on, the hat on, get my hat on. I
got my shirt, my.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
Clover golf golf baseball cap on with the green four
leaf shamrock on it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
And then I got my you know, I'm were in
a it's like a it's a green bullf shirt. I
was gonna say, like you know, the Masters, you know,
like it's not green, but it's I got my Notre
Dame boxing a hoodie too.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:04:01):
In case I get chilly, Yeah, I know, I got
some backup.

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
It's not chilly in this studio.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
No, but I'm gonna walk out of the studio, so
I want to be like warm when I do it,
so I have some backup.

Speaker 4 (01:04:11):
Green.

Speaker 2 (01:04:11):
You always start your car ahead of time. I mean,
it's warm inside by the time you get to your car.

Speaker 1 (01:04:16):
You know, I try, I do all I can and
you know, grow that carbon footprint.

Speaker 7 (01:04:19):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
Here we are we job.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
Are you of a storm here? In the second we're
going to be talking about deporting mock mood khalil uh,
real debate over free speech. We'll get into that. Marco
Rubio had some comments over that. We'll talk with Ingrid Jockads,
a columnist with USA Today about that. But before we
go there, Well, the Democrats are up to their old
tricks again.

Speaker 1 (01:04:42):
Well, because you see that they're at an all time
low in terms of public approval rating, and you're seeing
the country actually looking towards a country that's doing better
and on the right track. They got to get their
talking points. They've been outed for this before, but we
got a new script that's just dropped for the Democrats.
It has nothing to do with policy, it has nothing
to do with any detail. It's just they need to
be they say in the moment, because this is like

(01:05:05):
a call to action. So let's hear the script as
it rolls out, with about nine different Democrats getting their shot.
You know, in the talking head news circuit, the strength
that we have is in this moment.

Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
Listen to your constituents, center them in this moment.

Speaker 4 (01:05:22):
But I can tell you that there are a lot
of people that are watching his leadership in this moment.
This is the moment.

Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
No I think about what's happening, you know, in this moment.
What's important is that we meet this moment.

Speaker 3 (01:05:35):
So are these current Democrats the ones to meet the moment?

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
What do you want.

Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
To see us doing right now in this moment?

Speaker 15 (01:05:43):
And which Democrats are actually going to stand up against
Elon Musk and Donald Trump in this moment?

Speaker 4 (01:05:51):
Fights that you all are exhibiting is not just what
the base wants, but it's what this moment requires.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
And what does it even mean?

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
It's so comical, what does it mean to be in
this moment?

Speaker 7 (01:06:05):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:06:06):
They just they need they need so Carvil James Carvel
Tome sit back. Let let the Democrats or let the
Republicans beat themselves. But they're saying, no, no, we got
to get proactive. We we're getting we're getting pummeled right now.
So they're trying to it's like a call to action,
but literally they don't have a creative bone in their body.
They just mindlessly just in this moment, in this moment,

(01:06:26):
in this moment, and it's I, you know, I and they,
you know they focus group that summer you know where
that was supposed to be some inspiring you know, in
this moment.

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
They need to find a new marketing firm. Yeah, because
in this moment, wasn't Carvil who said the Republicans will
implode in thirty days?

Speaker 1 (01:06:44):
Yeah? How's that going?

Speaker 2 (01:06:45):
An implosions?

Speaker 7 (01:06:46):
Ta?

Speaker 1 (01:06:47):
And how's that happening?

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
All right? Well, the Trump administration's reached entertainment and threatened
deportation of the former Columbia University graduate student known as
Mohammed Moha MoMA. I'll get this right, Molde. I think
Khalil has raised some thorny questions and they aren't easy
to answer. Now. Marco Rubio was questioned about it on

(01:07:09):
Meet the or on Face the Nation yesterday. This is
how we responded to it.

Speaker 4 (01:07:13):
Is there any evidence of a link to terrorism or
is it just his your point of view?

Speaker 15 (01:07:20):
Yeah, they take over I mean, do you not? I
mean you should watch the news. These guys take over
entire buildings, We can vandalize college shut down.

Speaker 11 (01:07:29):
Justification for the revocation of his visa was there any
spoke so.

Speaker 15 (01:07:33):
Was the negotiator on negotiating on behalf of people that
take over a campus, that vandalize buildings, negotiating over what
that's a crime in and of itself that they're involved in,
being the negotiator of the spokesperson this, that, and the other.
We don't want it. We don't need these people in
our country. That we never should have allowed him in
the first place.

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
If he had told us.

Speaker 15 (01:07:50):
I'm going over there and I'm going over there to
become the spokesperson and one of the leaders of a
movement that's going to turn one of your allegedly elite
colleges upside down. People can't even go to school, library
buildings being vandalized. We never would have let him in.

Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
Marco Ruby on CBS faced the nation yesterday talking about
Mood Khalil joining us on our newsmaker line Now to
talk more about that is our good friend Ingrid Jacky.
She is a columnist with USA Today. A very very
complicated situation, isn't it? Isn't it?

Speaker 11 (01:08:18):
Ingram Well, I do think it is a complicated situation.
Since Khalil was he didn't just have a student visa.
He was also here as a legal permanent resident, he
had been issued a green card, married, he's married to
an American citizen expecting a baby, So I think those
factors come into play here. But his involvement in these

(01:08:42):
very disruptive protests that we saw on Columbia's campus last spring,
he was a known negotiator between these student protesters and
the administration, and he was a spokesperson for the group,
so he was involved with these things. The government has

(01:09:03):
not said if he was ever arrested. I've not seen
any information on that. I think he probably tried to
specifically keep himself out of situations where that would have
been a possibility, but he was still actively involved. And
I think it's important to ask when we're giving people

(01:09:24):
from other countries this privilege of coming here, whether to
study or for whatever reason they shouldn't be coming here,
and then going to act in a way that's contrary
to our interests as a country. And I'd say advocating
for hamas would certainly be contrary to us interests.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
A grid Secretary of State Marc Rubio said over the
weekend that if he had filled out with any accuracy
his visa, you know application, what he planned to do
as a guest allowed in the United States, that that
visa would not have been granted, and that because of
the things he did do that was not detailed in

(01:10:03):
his application to come to the United States, it was
appropriate for them to deport him. Is that a new interpretation?
Is that just a standard that we've just glossed over
over the years. It makes sense to me, but I
don't know that I've heard it in such stark terms.

Speaker 11 (01:10:20):
Yeah. Well, I mean, he's right, you can deny giving
someone a visa for pretty much any reason. But there
is this law, immigration law that the Trump administration is
using now that the Secretary of State can revoke a
visa or a green card of someone who's here contrary
to our foreign interests or that could harm our national security.

(01:10:44):
And it's a pretty broad language, so it seems like
they probably have quite a bit of leeway there. But
I'm also a very very strong free speech advocate, and
I think it can be concerning if the government's not
offering more concrete details about Khalil's involvement in these protests

(01:11:05):
or what specifically he may have done, because the things
they pointed to right now seem to fall more under
the category of speech. And if you're here legally on
a visa or with a green card, the First Amendment
does cover your speech. At least that's how it's been
upheld by the Supreme Court. But it still is uncomfortable

(01:11:30):
to me that we should be allowing these people into
our country and then they act in this way, help
organize these protests that kept many other students from attending class.
They were afraid to go on campus, even Jewish professors,
they were afraid. I think a janitor was held hostage

(01:11:52):
when they took over a building last spring, and these
are very serious things that he was at least tangentially
involved with. So it is concerning, But I understand the
free speech implications there.

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
So let me can I dive into that just real quick?
And that is so I'm a recovering public servant. So
I used to be a state lawmaker and we had
a lot of debates over time about hate crimes and
what a hate crime was versus trespassing or freedom of speech.
And one of the underlying arguments in a red state
like Utah where we did we did pass a law

(01:12:26):
that did acknowledge hate crimes, is that it has a
ripple effect. In fact, it creates a fear, and it
changes people's liberty for self determination. It does have a
damage beyond the specific person or the thoughts that are
in someone's head. There is a broader impact, negative impact
to the population, and we concurred with that. Ultimately, I

(01:12:47):
don't know how when you look at the actions of
this gentleman, you can't argue, as you've just pointed out,
the janitor held hostage, the students afraid to leave their dorms,
all of the things that would be a ripple effect
that you would argue it could be a hate crime,
or would be a crime to people broader than just
trespassing or freedom of speech. Doesn't this fall in line

(01:13:07):
with that same approach.

Speaker 11 (01:13:09):
That's a really interesting point, and I think a good one.
But as far as I know, Khalil has not officially
broken any law or been even accused.

Speaker 4 (01:13:22):
Of a crime.

Speaker 11 (01:13:23):
So that's why I think it would be helpful if
the government could bring forward any additional information if they
have some they've eluded that there might be more, and
I think that would make their case just that much stronger.
But I do think the law is on the Trump
administration side and you know, Rubio said this weekend they're

(01:13:45):
going to keep going after these students who have either
overstayed their visa or you know, have been very actively
involved with these protests. So this is certainly going to
be in the news.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
For a while, ingrid. It does come down to, as
you point out in your article in USA Today, somehow
we need to do a better job at screening these
people before they're granted a visa or before they're granted
a green card. Isn't that the ultimate answer?

Speaker 12 (01:14:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:14:11):
Right, I think so, because once they're here, and he
was Khalil was approofed for a green card, it just
makes it that much harder given the very firm First
Amendment protections we do have in this country, and even
he has if he's just here speaking his mind, not
providing actual support to humas, but he's verbally supporting them.

(01:14:36):
So I do think the time to be really vetting
who's coming into our country is on the front end.
So it strikes me with all these instances that we're
seeing of these foreign students who were involved in agitating
these protests, which often became violent, I think that's an
indication that maybe our government needs to step up this

(01:15:00):
meaning of who should be let in this country?

Speaker 2 (01:15:02):
Ingrid jack As from the USA today. Our column is
there talking about the free speech debate over the possible
deporting of muck Mood Khalil. More coming up right here
on the Rodd and Greg Show Talk Radio one oh five.
Dye can ars you were going to say something before
it broke. No, oh okay, you just had that look
like you wanted to want to add.

Speaker 1 (01:15:23):
To the stressed we were behind on the break. Oh thanks,
all right.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
More coming up on the Rodden Gregg Show and Utah's
Talk Radio one oh five. Dine can Or asked, well, let's.

Speaker 1 (01:15:34):
See welcome, this is what this is gonna be the
last Well we're coming towards the second part of the
last hour of our show goes fast.

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
Yeah, it does well when we're having as much fun
as we do every day we are.

Speaker 1 (01:15:45):
You know, there's news that breaks all the time. New
York Times. Just fifteen minutes ago, New York Times put
out an article about the the the judge that put
that out and got ignored, and it has him looking
into a window, you know, and how he feels he
put the DOJ attorneys in front of him and I
want in writing by tomorrow noon. You know, if anyone
was removed after my order came down, this this judge

(01:16:07):
from this jurisdiction in California. Okay, well, I'm gonna tell you,
if we just do this a little bit more often,
we're always gonna find just like the judge that judge
Marshawn in New York and his daughter was up to
her ears and the money and the donations and the
leftist causes. Turns out this judge not found in the
New York Times article. By the way, his daughter also

(01:16:30):
is donates thousands of dollars to political opponents of Trump,
has founded a DC area abortion clinic, and is all
in on the political front that opposes Donald Trump on
in everything. And so you know, the apple doesn't fall
far from the tree. This is this. I mean, all
you have to do is take these judges and just
look into their either their household, income, of their spouse

(01:16:52):
or one of their kids, and you'll find everything you
need to know. My orchest was the same way with
his daughter and their involvement in causes and actual I
think it was even technology or something that had to
do with the schools and pursuing their political ends. It's
all there, but you won't find it in the New
York Times story. You'll just see a very concerned looking

(01:17:13):
judge looking out a window and the profile of him.
And then you find out the truth that the guy's
got a daughter that's you know, has an absolute and
all you have to do is flip it. If you
had a judge that the Democrats hated the ruling and
that judge's daughter was a all rock rip conservative, you know,
and you know, donating against Democrats and up to her

(01:17:34):
ears and right wing activities, they would call that judge's
objectivity into question without a doubt. So it ought to
just play both ways.

Speaker 2 (01:17:43):
Well. Speaking of another issue that is rather interesting, Hunter
Biden vacationing right now in South Africa. Yes, and the
President and his administration found out that there are sixteen
Secret Service agents who are accompanying Hunter Biden to South Africa. Yes,
And then he found out that another Biden has thirteen

(01:18:03):
secret agents protecting her. Guess what the President did today,
Not anymore, he said, and he's pulled the Secret Service
protection away from Hunter Biden in South Africa.

Speaker 1 (01:18:15):
So they stayed absolutely, here's the deal. They're staying at
the fancy hotels are he's a eight hunter is evading.
He was evading a deposition, and his attorneys were looking
to drop his case. He had a case he was
trying to pursue. Just actually during the campaigns they could
look like they were innocent and heat had no intention
of ever wanting to pursue that afterwards. But he has

(01:18:35):
federal agents in his vacation out of country to avoid
the deposition. So you got sixteen federal agents. Why because
you've got to have four on three different shifts all
the time or what actually four shifts of four right,
So it comes at more than half a million or
more of taxpayer dollars for what And guy a deadbeat,

(01:18:57):
you know, guy that's trying to avoid his court appearance
or his deposition. It's just it's just a mockery to
the whole thing. None of them deserve to have the
Secret Service accompanying them around everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:19:10):
By the way, his.

Speaker 1 (01:19:11):
Wife, his wife, I forgot who between the two of them, Yeah,
are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
Nine?

Speaker 1 (01:19:18):
Yeah, twenty nine between the two secret Service agents.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
Yeah. Right. We were talking earlier about the Democrats to
Byes and their low popularity. Right now, all right, Well,
Don Lemon, remember Don Lemon from CNN.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
Donald Lemone, Yes, how can I forget?

Speaker 4 (01:19:33):
It?

Speaker 2 (01:19:33):
Was on Bill Maher's podcast today. You know who he
said should be the future leader of the Democratic Party.

Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
I can't wait to find out.

Speaker 2 (01:19:41):
AOC and Jasmine Crockett.

Speaker 1 (01:19:45):
Is he really Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:19:46):
He said that's who young people really connect with on
the Democratic side. So it should be AOC and Jasmine crot.

Speaker 1 (01:19:54):
Because it's all just it's all pageantry. There's no substance
to any of that. That's just that's just a package deal.
That's the something that you put it. You shine up
and try to trot it amazing people's interests.

Speaker 4 (01:20:04):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:20:04):
Uh, love is blind except when it comes to liberal women.
We'll talk about that next on The Rotten Greg Show
and Utah's Talk Radio one O five nine knrs. We
saw this article the other day in the Washington Examiner.
What got our attention was the headline love may be blind.
The single liberal single liberal women can be insufferable. Have

(01:20:29):
you found that out in your life?

Speaker 1 (01:20:32):
No comment?

Speaker 2 (01:20:33):
No, oh, you big chicken.

Speaker 1 (01:20:35):
Now you know I'm I you know am I. No,
I'm not going down that road. I'm just gonna I'm
gonna let our next guests go right down that road,
and I'm gonna cheer them all the way down there.

Speaker 2 (01:20:44):
That's what going do well. The article was written by
Chris Tramalia, who we've had on the show quite often.
He's a good friend of the show, always like to
get his thoughts on this. He is a commentary writer
with The Washington Examiner. Chris, how are you and welcome
to the Rod and Gregg Show. Thanks for joining us.

Speaker 8 (01:20:58):
Chris, Hey, Rod and Gregg.

Speaker 4 (01:21:01):
How's it going have to saint? Patrick's ay to you?

Speaker 11 (01:21:04):
So?

Speaker 2 (01:21:05):
Single women are unsuf insufferable? Is that what you're saying, Chris?
Why is that?

Speaker 6 (01:21:11):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:21:11):
No, not single women liberal?

Speaker 1 (01:21:15):
I was waiting for you, correct, because he was a.

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
Liberal insufferable.

Speaker 1 (01:21:22):
I knew he was dead man walking when he said that.
But I let I let it.

Speaker 7 (01:21:25):
I let you.

Speaker 2 (01:21:26):
Thanks for bailing me out, all right. Why did you
write the article, Chris?

Speaker 7 (01:21:31):
So there was a.

Speaker 4 (01:21:32):
Viral clip of the show of Love Is Blind which
the young lady Sarah was turned down her fiance. I
guess as much as you could honestly believe someone gets
to engaged under those circumstances in such a short amount
of time, but playing along with that premise, she got
to the altar and basically said that she couldn't go

(01:21:56):
through with the wedding because she differed in value with
the different and political values with the her fiance. And
I just saw it, and if you listen to it,
it was just exhausting just listening to her that that
that that clip. I can't even imagine being in a

(01:22:17):
romantic relationship with her and dating her and having to
listen to it. It just came across that she was
had this this sanctemonious, you know, morally self righteous superior
that I know more than you, I'm more enlightened than you,
and you, like peasants, you're not good enough for me
because you know, you don't think the way I do
on black lives matter, And she specifically cited her his

(01:22:40):
church's views on gender. I job, which was just normal,
you know, like you know, there's only two genders, male
and women, like everything that's been part of human civilization
for thousands of thousands of years. And the fact that
that would be your breaking point on the day you're
you know, quote unquote getting married, it's just it was

(01:23:03):
just exhausting. It was insufferable, and it kind of is
indicative of the cult of left wing politics that exist
today in the country and arguably the world for that matter.

Speaker 1 (01:23:17):
So let me ask you this, do you think that
so black Lives Matters seemed to be a big deal
to her? Do you think she got the memo that
it was a complete scam and that they didn't they
didn't help anyone go to college, They didn't help anyone
do anything. They just bought a lot of real estate,
turned it flipped, it made some profit. I bought a
lot of really nice like Greyhound testyle tour buses to

(01:23:39):
protest everywhere. Do you think that the love is blind
contestants Sarah, do you think she actually knew anything about
Black Lives Matter.

Speaker 8 (01:23:50):
Overall?

Speaker 4 (01:23:51):
I would very much question if she actually did. It
was kind of unfortunate that, you know, when he was childed.
It seemed like he backed down a little bit when
she said that, or in the initial wooing process when
they talked about from the clips I saw in the
initial dating they were like, you know, talking with her,
and he basically made the comment, well, he didn't really

(01:24:12):
give it much thought. That seemed like a cheap cop
out basically he I. If I were to guess, and
again this is purely speculative, it seemed that he just
didn't want to get into a tense discussion or an
argument away from her on the whole thing. I kind
of wish you would have said, oh, black lives matter,
you mean by large mansions, you know, just kind of
to go along with that and to show the actual

(01:24:36):
criticism that came with it. Overall, if she knew, I
bet she probably heard of it, the controversy around it.
I just don't see these cares. And that seems to
be a problem with a lot of the white liberals
today is these things happen and they don't care. It
doesn't matter to them because all they care about is
their overall ideological objective. And I feel she's kind of

(01:24:57):
one of the you know, acolytes that in that.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
Chris So because of what she said and how this happened.
Does she represent a typical white liberal woman in the
United States today? Does she do that?

Speaker 4 (01:25:13):
I think that especially, I would say a more well
off to do or a higher socioeconomic white liberal woman
in this country today. It seemed that she was a
travel nurse, as she's always making a pretty decent living.
She has you know, life experience, educated, and I would
say she's definitely emblematic of what white liberal women are today.

(01:25:35):
And you've seen clips all over social media and how
they react towards abortion, how they go, you know, to
Trump being elected, how they talk about gender ideology, how
they act about these things. And for her to say that,
you know, in a romantic relationship and what she's kind
of you know, eliminating a future romance because of this,
specifically because this and specifically citing Black Lives Matter, It

(01:25:58):
just kind of shows that manipulation and indoctrination that a
lot of people on the left are suffering with today
and how it kind of plagues our nations.

Speaker 7 (01:26:09):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:26:09):
At first, I thought, well, maybe she just doesn't like
him and she's grasping its straws like this is like,
I don't know what to say for the show, but
maybe I'll just pull this out of thin air. But
here's where I think you're right. If you look at
the exit polls from the last election, every demographic that
you could measure in terms of voting blocks shifted to
the right, with the exception I believe of income white

(01:26:32):
liberal women. They are hanging on there's a gender gap
for Republicans candidates generally, and then if this demographic, then
they weren't moving an inch. I don't think compared to
the rest of the nation that kind of did come
towards Republicans or even or especially Donald Trump. So I
think that the data bears out that your call them
and not just this show that there's something to this.

Speaker 4 (01:26:56):
Yeah, insufferable, Like I said, completely insufferable that they have
their It's like there this this cultish, you know, adherence
to a devotion to their political ideology without any flexibility
of saying, oh, maybe you know things can be different
or maybe I don't have to be so I'll lead.

(01:27:16):
You have such an allegiance to this. So and just
like you're listening to her her talk and her manners
and saying how that the guy didn't even so the
funny part is he didn't even reject black Lives matter,
which you couldn't even say if he was against it,
she could say, oh, Jackie, dude, he was just apathetic
about it, in nonchchalant, and that's what caused her to

(01:27:37):
kind of break it off with him. And I was like,
that's just severe levels of you know, fanaticism if you
think about it, Like he wasn't even disagreeing where her.
He was just saying, I haven't given it much thought,
or I don't think about her. I don't really want
to get involved. Like it's basically no, not only do
you have to gree with me, but you must now
comply and you have to to try to afford the clients.

(01:27:59):
And that's just where, like I said, completely insussible.

Speaker 2 (01:28:02):
So they aren't even willing to listen to opposing arguments.
They just believe and they don't want to hear anything else.

Speaker 4 (01:28:07):
Is that right, Chris, They're not even opposing, just apathy
or if you just want to ignore or say like
I'm not even this isn't something that's important to me.
She was like, no, you have to agree with me.
You have to listen to me. You have to this
is important. And I was like, that's just crazy, you know,
Like I said, if she if there was a complete

(01:28:28):
disagreement where he was just against Black Lives matter and
she was worried, that would make kind of sense. But
his basically his answer was essentially, oh, I haven't really
given much suttle. I try not to think about it
basically standing down, waving the white flag. I don't really
want to talk about this, and again that it wasn't
enough for her. She wanted compliance and you know, to
kind of fall in line and like I said, liberal

(01:28:50):
white woman, insufferable.

Speaker 2 (01:28:52):
L drink the koold. Hey, Chris always right, Amne the show, Thank.

Speaker 4 (01:28:56):
You, no problem, thanks for having ticket.

Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
Guys, all right, christ Reimola with a Washington.

Speaker 1 (01:29:01):
Well, that kid Ben got his life saved by her
doing it. But you know, I know it might sound
I'm telling you that the data for the exit polse
bear this out. This is actually true. This demographic of voter.
If you do not subscribe to their worldview, you suffer
from an intellectual failing or a moral failing. You have
to have strict adherents to their worldview, even if they
haven't given that worldview a whole lot of thought themselves.

(01:29:24):
You have to paart back or else you're out. I mean,
that's that's how it is. The only demographic I could
see that didn't really move. And look, it's sad because
they're the ones funding planned parenthood and more abortion clinics
and low income urban city areas. They're the ones that
are embracing the kids having sex change and having kids
chemically castrated at when they're minors. It's this, it's this

(01:29:47):
demographic of people that are just so entrenched in these
these social causes.

Speaker 2 (01:29:52):
So if you're in the dating game today and you
and I aren't anymore, no, fortunately, fortunately, So before you ask,
if you're a guy and you want to ask a
woman out, do you have to sit down and have
a discussion about their political views and then you can
decide whether you want to date that individual. Well, I mean,
the dating scene today must be crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:30:15):
Yeah, I don't know what the kids are doing nowadays.
I certainly don't know what a show about dating and
getting married would ever be like. But but if I
were to just think back to when I was, when
Queen Bee and I were dating, we we didn't have
some litmus tests. There wasn't one like that. In fact,
there were a couple issues that we really saw the
world quite differently about. It wasn't a deal breaker for
either one of us. But over time, as you get

(01:30:37):
to know each other and as we got married, and
and you know, you just start to gel and you
you know, I just think it works. But this this
litmus test the idea that you have. I don't know, guys,
I don't know. Maybe the only litmus test you ought
to have is run fast and far if you run
into one of these women because they are not wanting
to hear anything you're selling. If it's not exactly what

(01:30:59):
there's saying, I'm true that approves it.

Speaker 2 (01:31:02):
I just think the dating world today is crazy. I
wouldn't want to be in it.

Speaker 1 (01:31:06):
Yeah, my kids are. I don't know how they're going
to manage.

Speaker 7 (01:31:08):
All of it.

Speaker 2 (01:31:08):
They'll figure it out. They depend on you and Jeez
more coming up put in the Rod and Greg Show
and Utah's Talk Radio one oh five nine k n
R S. It's sunning and beautiful.

Speaker 1 (01:31:19):
Out right now. Well good. It gives us a nice
commute home, now, doesn't it? And gives you our listeners
a safe commute home as well.

Speaker 2 (01:31:25):
That's what we're concerned about.

Speaker 12 (01:31:27):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:31:27):
I got to tell you so. We had a call
earlier today that called himself Jedi. You know, I call
him sith Lord if I'm being honest with you, folks.
He just had a lot. He had a lot of
regime media talking points. One of them is that all
Elon's doing is cutting every all the good programs of
the Social Security, the VA, the I R S. He's
just cutting really really important things and there's no receipts

(01:31:50):
to be found anywhere. Well, just turns out that the
Veterans Administration's Secretary, Doug Collins, is just announced that the
VA is actually going to do some cutting. And I
don't know if our caller is going to be very
happy about this. This is going to be probably upset him,
but he is cutting, Doug call Secretary Doug Collins is
announcing that the VA is going to cut and and

(01:32:11):
taxpayer funded sex change medical treatments and we'll stop issuing
letters of approval for sex change surgeries. All the savings
from this cut or this change will go towards helping
paralyzed veterans and amputees. And what's my receipt for such
a statement by the secretary of the VA. It's in

(01:32:33):
their press release. VA to phase out treatment for gender
for you dysphoria. But I will say that there's a
receipt and there is a cut. I shouldn't even use
the word cut. It's kind of gross, right sex change
nor cut. There is a program that is ending and
its savings is going to be directed towards paralyzed veterans

(01:32:56):
and amputees, and I would think that would for most
of us and our listeners. I think that would be
good news. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know about
I don't know about Jedi. You might be mad about that,
but hopefully he's okay.

Speaker 2 (01:33:08):
We'll have to see. All right, big day tomorrow. Apparently
the presidents are going to have a phone call with
one Vladimir Putin from Russia tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:33:18):
Yeah. A lot of that stuff you find out after
the fact that I love that he call.

Speaker 2 (01:33:22):
They're going to sit down and talk about let's see
oh U crane.

Speaker 1 (01:33:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think you're it's a worthy topic.

Speaker 2 (01:33:29):
Yeah you think?

Speaker 7 (01:33:30):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:33:31):
That does it for us tonight. Happy Saint Patrick, save
you all of you, head up, shoulders back. My God
bless you and your family and this great country of ours.
We'll talk to him tomorrow at four
