Speaker 1 (00:00):
I don't think there's a liberal that can talk to
me about the environment or the coast and keeping the
ocean healthy and you know, vibrant, and you can't build
houses near it when that Tijuana River continues to send
human you know what out into it. I talked to
a shop owner. He used to rent the little paddle

(00:21):
boards out there. It's really hit his business hard.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Who do I to go paddle boarding in some way?

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Now there are fifty five days straight where those beaches
have been closed, and just a little further south, it's
been over a year. But it's just too bad. It's
really too bad.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah. Well, we've got a lot to talk about today
as we get you home after your first day back
at work, if you were able to enjoy a three
day weekend. We're going to talk about the Save Act,
what is going on there. We're going to talk about
Hillary meltdowns. Oh I love this. Over the weekend, we'll
talk about that what happened to Hillary? Guys, Hiroki, our
good friend, will join us as well. He'll talk about

(00:56):
the comments that Marco Rubio made to the Munich Secure
conference in Germany over the weekend. And I tell you
I've never done this greg but I heard so much
about these remarks. I went back and list to him today,
the full twenty one minutes of it. It is a
wonderful speech he gives, and he really kind of outlines
the President's thinking on what's going on in Europe and
what the United States is doing in that regard.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
You know, I look forward to our discussion with Guy
Schrocky later in the program, because he's always got a
keen eye. He's a great national you know, publisher, puts
out great articles. But I just think that Marco Rubio
has just I think he has just emerged blossom, and
this time as if you told him. When I saw
his name as Secretary of State, I thought, well, you've

(01:39):
got to have someone from the Senate give him kind
of a hat tip to the establishment. Whatever I think
Marco Rubio has learned from Trump, I think he has
understood that this is truly a new era. I think
his ability to thread that needle about wanting to be
unified with Europe and all they've done together and fought
communism and everything together, but right now not want to

(02:00):
be their guardian or trying to, you know, clean up
their mess. I thought he struck such a powerful balance.
And I don't think that was the Mark or Rubio
from a few years ago. I really don't know. I
didn't think he was bad. I just didn't think he
was the guy he is today. I think this man
has emerged from and I think he's learned a lot
from President Trump.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Well, I just think if you list to the speech,
and I invite you all of you to do that.
But I think he is so in sync with the
President and they both see the same thing, Greg and
that is so important. What he told the European leaders
over the weekend. Look at we are concerned about the
decline of Western civilization. Yes, and we're seen in Europe.
And he cited you know, mass migration, loss of free speech.

(02:41):
I mean it's going the way the economy, the dependence
on a green economy, it's not working. He says, your
decline could lead to our decline, and we do not
want that. So do we like NATO? Do we like
the UN? We can work with them, but they need
to be reformed. Yes, and that's all he's saying. He said,
we don't want to get rid of this.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
When have we heard this?

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, we've never seen heard this.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
We've battled. There's been saber rattling, rightly so. But I
don't know that you've ever I've not heard someone strike
a tone of not a conciliation, but of a plea
for unity and for common ground at the same time saying,
just look at what's going on around here. I just
thought it was a again, it was a powerful, powerful.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well And what is frightening about that? Of course, Alexandria
Costio Cortez made headlines by being stupid over there. But
what's frightening? I bet most of those European leaders agreed
with what she was saying and not with what Marco
Ruby was saying. And I'll tell you what if that's
the case, folks, they had a whole lot of trouble
lying ahead. All Right, we'll talk about that. We've got

(03:46):
a lot to get to. We wanted to bring up
a couple of things, really tragic stories. The tragic story
of what happened in Las Vegas with this eleven year
old girl and her mother down there for a big
cheerleading competition. They have them all the time down there, soccer,
trans football, tournament, tournaments, you name it, down in Vegas,
and she killed her daughter and then turned the gun
on herself. And you know, I understand apparently there was

(04:09):
a custody battle with her ex husband over who has
custody of the little eleven year old. But Greg, how
do you respond to a story like that. I didn't
say it's tragic, you know, there isn't.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
I mean I came across that as a first missing
It was a missing person they were talking about that
they had not shown up for the competition, and within
about four to five hours later there was the report that.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
They'd been found in their hotel room.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yeah, so very very sad story. And then you know
one that I think people were looking at it was
it was a big deal and then sadly we found
out what happened there. But you know, there's obviously a
lot that goes on prior to news like that happening,
and I just I wish that just I don't know
what you say to a family when they've been through
so yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
And then you have the situation in Rhode Island. When
are we going to come to realize, Greg, that there's
some serious problem. I've got a list here, Greg, I mean,
you look at that Trump shooter, non binary Minnesota school shooter,
trans Nashville shooter, trans, Colorado spring shooter, trans non binary
a bininary Aberdeen shooter, trans Denver school shooter, trans Iowa

(05:15):
school shooter. I mean, when you know this is a trend,
but you know, for crying out loud, folks, we've got
to not all trans people are violent the way these
people have been, but we've got a problem in this country,
and nobody's willing to talk about.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Well.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
I don't know if you've noticed, but there's a new
term that they're using describe it. It's not it's not trans.
They're saying, I got to find it. I think person
who goes by two names.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Oh, that's that's how they're describing it now.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yes, it's a code for, you know, for transgender. They
don't want to say transgender because they don't want you to,
you know, to make that, you know, to worry that
people that have been chemically castrated now are becoming more
and more violent, which I actually think watch the pattern
recognition here. I think pattern recognition, you're going to see
people who whose life trajectories alt was forever altered and

(06:06):
it's not going over Well, yeah, it's a it's there's
there are people choosing violence in these circumstances, and.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
The media is leading the way on this. Even the
New York Times and their coverage of this story could
never mention anything about a transgender man going after I
mean even the New York Times avoided any reference whatsoever.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Well, they said, New York Times, I'm going to read it.
At a news conference on Monday night, the chief said
the shooter was born in nineteen sixty nine and went
by two different names.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, okay, okay, two different do you know which one
to call them?

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah? Well, is it again.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Shot in the dark so to speaks them.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Trying to trying to like again say it without saying it.
So went by two different names. Is now the new
term terminology?

Speaker 2 (06:47):
And that was another divorce issue with or what he
wanted to continue his path toward being a female and
why I said this, This marriage isn't going to work
if you're really Yeah, and she filed for divorce and
the loses it.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yeah, And that's another eighty twenty issue. I mean, there's
no Democrats don't support the Democrats position on that. And
the overwhelming you know polls that are showing that whether
it's boys playing girls sports or miners being put through
those gender altering surgeries. Nobody's, nobody, no one, Normy's in
America are not for this. It's not even political, really,

(07:22):
it's just not and the Democrats continued to defend it. Right,
makes a lot of sense. All right, we have got
a lot to get to today. Always great to be
with you on this Tuesday afternoon as we come back
from a three d weekend to honor the presidents of
the United States on President's Day, especially George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln. Big week I think for the Save America Act.

(07:44):
This is a bill being sponsored by Utah Senator Mike Lee.
The President is behind this effort. I noticed Sendor Lee
Greg was all over the media this weekend talking about
what needs to be done and there. It's going to
be interesting to see how this all folds out. It
will be I think it's it's an important measure. I
think you need to get it done. I think that

(08:04):
I think the President over the weekend announced that they
would he would require or executive by executiveorder or something
that the ID required, whether this past or not. But
I think Joy Leader soon said that this would be
brought to the floor. So I think it's moving forward well.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Joining us on our newsmaker line to talk more about
this as is Matt Jermer. He's policy director and governance
at the R. Street Institute. He wrote about this today, Matt,
how are you welcome to the Rod and Greg Show.
Thanks so much for joining us.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
It's my pleasure to be here.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Thanks Rodin, Greg and Matt. What do you think of
the Save Act and what lines ahead over the next
couple of days.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
Yeah, so, I think, as you both have referenced, this
is an important measure. It's addressing something that a vast
majority of Americans want to see, which is verification of
citizenship for voters and identification at the polling places so
that we know that people are who they say they
are and that that lines up with those registrations. I
think that's an important goal and it's something that I'm

(08:59):
glad to see Congress taking up.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
So, I you know you mentioned and this is you know,
there's a saying in politics they either do nothing or
they overreact. And I think you're worried about the urgency
and the partisanship that might go into this discussion about
providing ID to show your citizenship to vote. But on
the whole. I don't find Congress to be overly urgent
and anything that they do, and if they put a

(09:22):
little pep in their step, Matt, don't you think that's
we shouldn't actually get We shouldn't be judging about that,
if they're actually trying to get something done sooner than later.
We never really see that out of these guys, do we.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
That's a great point, you know, I feel like Congress
is doing less and.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Less with every year that goes by.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
So again, to my high level point, I'm glad to
see them addressing this, and I'm glad to see them
having a little energy about it. To the extent that
I have concerns, it's more around the specifics within the
bill itself that the timelines that they've got put in
there are pretty aggressive. I think the goal is to
try to put these things in place for twenty twenty six,
and again I'm sympathetic to the goal. But the practice

(10:00):
of election administration is not only complicated in one specific state,
but we've got fifty different states and territories across this
country that conduct elections slightly differently.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
And so as I look at this Save America Act.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
And the process that they're undergoing to try to get
this through. You know, what I want to see is
something that will stand up to scrutiny, that will actually
work that if we're going to do it, we do
it right and we build confidence in elections. And my
fear is that if they're too aggressive in some of
these timelines, it's going to not only invite litigation from
the left, because that happens, it seems, on everything, but

(10:37):
the result of that might be, you know, a court
in joining the law, maybe enjoining it in some states
and not others, creating confusion at the end of the day.
And my goal is to end that confusion. It's to
build confidence. And so I want to see this done
and done well.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
So so matter you're basically saying, let it sounds like
you're saying, let's slow it down maybe just a little bit.
Really examine this so it can stand up to constitutional muster.
But we've talked and Center Mike Lee is a good
friend of the program, and he feels constitutionally it is
very strong.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
I think constitutionally, there are going to be some challenges
that will be invited. Again, I think even there's some
strong arguments to say it holds up. But looking for
example at the sections related to voter ID, again, a
policy that I think would be wise for states to
take forward, even if the federal government doesn't act on it.
You know, the way that it's drafted now, it's distinct

(11:27):
from where I live. I live in North Carolina.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
We've got voter ID.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
We also try to make sure that for folks who
don't have access to an ID for let's say, cost reasons,
that there is a provision for them to go out
and be able to get a free of charge qualifying identification.
The way this bill is written doesn't require that of states,
and so I could very kind of easily see a
group out there saying that there's a challenge on those

(11:51):
grounds as an example. And I'm not saying that I
would uphold or sustain that kind of challenge, but I
expect those kinds of challenges to come.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
You know, one of the things that I've heard a
lot is that, you know, you got to bring your
birth certificate to this going place for a passport, for
only fifty percent of people have a passport. Now you
point out, I believe accurately, and I didn't know this
for a while, but this was pointed out by one
of our listeners that the real ID compliant driver's license,
which fifty all fifty states now have, including Utah, it

(12:20):
does not verify. It does for me, I mean I
had to I had to either have a passport or
a birth certificate to have the real ID gold star
on my driver's license. But you point out that it
actually signifies lawful presence, which means that you could have
someone with a temporary residence card, someone who is here
legally but is not necessarily a citizen. So the real idea,

(12:42):
you can't assume that means citizenship. But to the extent
that some states only let let you just check a
box with penalty of perjury if found wrong, and some
of the easier, maybe effortless ways that people that are
not even here as a resident legally can vote. Isn't
the real ID a pretty powerful way to really maybe

(13:03):
reduce fraud and make sure that people that live here
actually are voting.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
Yeah, I think you're onto something here. The real ID process,
as you note, only confirms lawful presence that you are
here in this country legally, and that could be as
a citizen, it could also be as a permanent resident.
A green cardholder, or it could be, as you noted,
a visa holder someone here temporarily. All of those folks,
if they've got the documentation, can go get a real ID.
The challenge in this case is that just showing that

(13:29):
ID doesn't verify citizenship. But what it does indicate is
the government should have in a database, you know, in
their record saying that they know that you've presented your
birth certificate. And one of the suggestions I have for
this bill is to shift a lot of that burden
of verifying citizenship from the voter to those databases that
already exist. The government already has this information. Let's lean

(13:51):
on them to do the work, rather than putting the
burden on every one of us to come forward with
a passport or a birth certificate. Every time we register
to vote. Know, you move from one county to another,
you got to update your voter registration. Do I need
to go dig out my birth certificate from a folder
when the state should already know y is the broader point.
But to the question you have around you know, making

(14:14):
sure that that folks are here legally and that they
you know that they could vote that checkbox that you
noted that's actually under federal law. There's something called the
the National Voter Registration Act, and under that national law
there's a form that every state accepts for voter registration
that only requires a checkbox. Now this is I'm glad again.
I'm glad why that this bill is looking into these

(14:35):
questions and trying to update the National Voter Registration Act.
But again, I want to make sure that this is
done well and that it stands up in the long term.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Matt, a question I have for you. I understand what
you're saying about maybe slow it down or examine this
a little bit more. But my concern is this that
if we don't do something now, we could have a
democratically controlled or House, maybe a Senate next year, and
nothing will ever be done in this regard until the
Republicans get back in power. That's why I think it

(15:06):
needs to be done now. Is my fear warranted?

Speaker 3 (15:10):
You know?

Speaker 4 (15:10):
I think that's a very a fair point. I don't
think Democrats will have any interest in moving this forward,
and so maybe they might be more specific to my point.
I don't know that I want this to be slowed
down such that it doesn't pass through Congress.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
This year.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
I just think that they would really benefit from that
schoolhouse rock approach to lawmaking. Introduce the bill, hold some hearings,
take some feedback from the local county officials who are
going to have to implement this, make some amendments, pass
it out of committee, bring it to the floor, and
then send it to the other chamber and do it again.
I think that that process, you know, it's what the
founders had in mind. I'd like to see them do

(15:42):
that here and along those lines, you know, if we
want to spend a moment to talk about it. The
challenge of getting through the Senate is also going to
be present here. Probably important for listeners to know this
is one of those ideas that's going to need either
a super majority in the Senate to move it through
or the Republics could kind of call the Democrats bluff
Mike and talk in philabuster.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Talking, and then take the vote. I love to see you, yeah,
I'd love to see a few Democrats blue in the face, Matt.
Great conversation, Thanks for joining us tonight, Thank you for
having me. Thanks all right, that's Matt Jermer. He is
a policy director at r Street Institute, and we need
to mention too. Greg forgot to mention this. Republicans here
in the state got the got the signatures on.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Im really really worried about that.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Both you and I we're both leaving on Friday, going
good luck on this one. Guys. We're behind you, but
I don't know if you can get this done.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
No.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
And there's some interesting stories that.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, we'll talk about that.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Happened over the weekend. We can discuss as well.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
A little bit later. All right, more coming up. It
is the Tuesday edition of Ronn and Greg with You
on Utah's Talk Radio one oh five nine. Cannais you
realize you're feeding the coffers of California by going down
there and spending money. I realize that tax money that
you're spending.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
And you know their gas is like almost six bucks ago. Yeah,
welcome to calib here. It's gonna go only go up
from there. They run that place so well.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, well, they're now parting their oil from what is it,
the Bahamas.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
I'm sure that's the.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Most ridiculous thing in the world.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Never mind having refineries on ours day, why would we
ever do that? Just ship it from the Bahamas and
just everybody.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Goes through the Panama Canal up the coast. I mean sanity,
it really is. It is just nutty. Well, speaking of nutty,
Gavin Newsom AOC were in Munich for the Munich Security
Conference this weekend. She she just I don't know where
she was educated, but boy does she need help. And

(17:37):
then Hillary was there and Hillary got into a rather
interesting discussion with a diplomat from Czech, the Czech Republic,
and boy did that turn out to be an interesting thing.
And joining us on our Newsmaker line to talk more
about that is Tim O'Brien, a contributor at PJ Media. Tim,
how are you welcome to the Rod and Greg Show.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
I'm greaton. Thank you for having me again. It's good
to be on.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
I tell you what, Tim, She may Hillary sure did
put on a performance again, didn't she.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
You have to watch it too. It's not just what
she said, it's her body. Her body language speaks loudly.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Oh. Her facial expressions during that confrontation with a Czech
diplomat are amazing. Tim.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
The funniest thing about it was watching him. He looked
like he was walking on eggshells, but he refused.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
To back down.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
But he could feel the heat coming from her, and
it just it was funny.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
It really was. I mean, what do you say. I
know you're nervous, and I know this makes you nervous.
She is just fundamentally not used to anybody challenging her.
I mean, she must sit the echo chamber that she
has lived in for decades. It just must be shocking
to her to have anyone question her premise or what
she's what She's used to people just you know, just

(18:54):
falling over themselves saying that she's so smart and so
the people she's usually criticizing are far far away. She's
sitting right next to a person that says, you've gone
too far and you know, the policies are too radical.
She's I found her to be stunned by it and angry.
I thought her body language was pretty rough. Does she ever?
I guess my question to you is is she going

(19:14):
to get more of that or is she going to
appear less because people are more willing to challenge her.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
I think the answer is probably what you already feel,
and that is she'lled it more of it. And there's
a reason there was somebody not in the room who
I think had a big role in that and that
is the Trump administration. And what I mean by that
is we don't see in the American media, the legacy media.
We don't see the pushback like he gave her. And

(19:44):
I think when you see, first off, a generational thing.
That was a younger guy. He was not in Hillary's generation,
so he didn't respect her or know the way he
was supposed to respect her the way she's used to.
That's one. He was from Europe. That's another. He was
from a country which she probably thinks, who are you?
But I think the thing is the thing that struck

(20:07):
me is you can see that people who don't see
the American legacy media no longer see that intimidation from
Hillary Clinton and from even people like Obama. Sheen has
worn off of those people, and you only see it
if you're an American when you see these people from

(20:29):
other countries push against Hillary. And that's why I do
think she's going to see more of that.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
You know, Tim greg mentioned this just a moment ago,
but isn't this an indictment almost to the legacy media.
I mean, she actually faced a pretty tough question from
this Czech diplomat. Rarely does she get tough questions like
that from the legacy media who simply fawn all over
this woman. I mean, is this a bit of an
indictment on the legacy media in this country? Do we
already know that.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
It is an indictment. It's a huge indictment of the media,
and it's something we're so used to. She's treated like
a queen, really, and she always was. And uh. And
that's why I think I came up with that idea
for that article you guys saw of her her classic
melt talents, because she has a history of just losing

(21:18):
it in public.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
And uh.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
And I think people cow tel or have cow tew
to that. But I think it's an indictment of the
media because they treated her with such kid gloves that
she doesn't know how to deal with it, and and
that we're so surprised, and we really shouldn't be, because
we look at any Republican they get treated every day
the way the media is supposed to treat people, and

(21:42):
that has challenging them.

Speaker 6 (21:44):
And uh.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
And it's amazing to me that Hillary can't stand up
to that, you know.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
And I think that you and I hadn't picked us up.
But the age of the diplomat where he wouldn't live
through this time where she was. You know, one thing
she said was you're supposed to just cow tell well
when he is trying to make his point about how
they've gone, how they went too far, and she just
starts to rich, just interrupts him, says, does that justify

(22:10):
the selling out of the people of Ukraine or what
you know that there's two genders or whatever you're worried about.
She just starts to try to demean him, and he
just calm. The moderator even takes the diplomat's side and
says let him answer the question, and he says, can
I please finish my point? I'm sorry that this makes
you nervous. I mean, what a beautiful retort. I mean,
I don't think I've ever seen it. I do think

(22:30):
it's something that you're seeing, and I think you're right.
I think it's the age where you know, they didn't
have to bend the knee to these cuintains and so
they're not or the Obama's and so I don't think
you're going to see that going forward again. Will that
just make her more adamant to scream or shriek more
or does she finally go away? I just I want
you to tell me she's going to go away? Would

(22:51):
you just tell me that? Is there any chance, Tim.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Get off my lawn moment? I think she said get
off my line, and the whole world looked at her
like they do that guy in the front of his
grass and get off my line. I think, I think,
you know this is I guess we can enjoy this.
This is the beginning of the end of her public
life for us, because once once someone does something like that,

(23:22):
you know it's there's no force field for her anymore.
She's going to have to prepare for that almost every
time she goes out.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Now, I think, yeah, we can only hope, Tim, great conversation,
great article today. I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
Great talking to you. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
All right. A contributor to PJ Media. Tim O'Brien joining
us here on the Rowden Greg Show. And when we
come back, we'll let you hear this exchange. If you
hadn't heard this exchange yet between the Czech diplomat and Hillary,
you'll enjoy it.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
Oh, it's good.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
We could just put on loop. I just love it
so much. All right, it is the Rotten Greg Show.
Here on Utah's Talk Radio one O five nine and
are at the Hillary meltdown in Europe at the Munich
Security Conference, where there was a young diplomat from Check
and he was just beying, hey, look, folks, we think

(24:13):
you've gone too far list of this exchange and how
it kind of set her off.

Speaker 7 (24:17):
Well, first, I think you really don't like him.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
You know that is absolutely true.

Speaker 8 (24:23):
But I really not only do I not like him,
I don't like him because of what he's doing to
the United States and the world. And I think you
should take a hard look at it if you think
that there is something good that will come out.

Speaker 7 (24:34):
Of what I think what I think Trump Trump is
doing in America. I think it is reaction, reaction, reaction
for something that for some policies that really went too far,
too far from the regular people to what can from reality.
So you know, we saw the cancel culture. That's we

(24:57):
saw the vogue revolution. We I don't agree with the
gender revolution, the climate l R. Miss I think there
are two genders. So but but some of some of
us can some of us some of us think that
there is more than one or more than two, sorry,

(25:18):
more than two gender. I think there is male and
female and the rest probably is a social construct. So
this is something that went too far.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Do you hear her constantly interrupting him? There's a word
I could use to describe her but starts with a B.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
There's more there. Well, did he say, can I can
I continue speaking? And because I know this makes you nervous?
And I just think that she's not used to that,
and and she should get more used to it. I
think more and more people are going to They're just
they are just on the wrong side of history on this.
They don't have It's why when you watch that, you

(25:54):
understand why they had open borders for four years and
want no idea to vote. You understand why because they
do not have the American people with them. You know,
you can do all the generic balloting for midterms you
want saying Republican versus Democrat, and they might if you're
mad at Republicans, it's easy to say democrat. But when
you look at what they're espousing and how that that
rad that their base, and how left they are, how

(26:15):
they're demanding compliance, they're demanding fidelity to their radical issues.
What red blooded normal Americans going to vote for that?
I don't think they've got the votes.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Unfortunately some will and so honestly believe it. And I
maybe we'll talk about this tomorrow, hopefully get an interview
on this tomorrow. But someone wrote a terrific article on
why they won't moderate, why they won't become more moderate
in what they're doing.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
If they lose a good election, if they lose a
midterm that they're supposed to win, they're going to turn
into a bunch of John Fettermans. John Fetterman's the only
logical Democrat right now. And I can't believe those words
just came out of my mouth, but it's true.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
When we come back, they did it. And if you
sign the petition over the weekend four were you intimidated?
We'll have some of the stories we've been hearing.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
Next Congressman Fine, he's like drawing a bright line on
this protecting the dogs.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Love the story.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
This is another. This might be ninety nine percent to
one percent. Apparently Muslim community finds dogs to be dirty
and offensive and an act of aggression. And if you
get if they have dogs around them, they will kill them.
And they actually some of the mom Donnie's aides and
as the new York City mayor include advisors who think

(27:29):
that it should not be legal for dogs to live
in homes. And it's it's it's unfit for a dog
to live in a home because they're just they're dirty animals.
I want to know who really thinks. I mean, the
way you treat people. There's a debate that goes on
in America, the way if you beat up dogs. Man,
I'm telling you what. I think every American comes out
in support and defense of their dog.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
I don't think that. I don't think they're going to
win that one.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah. Well, if you haven't heard yet, Greg gave you
a little background on this. But the woman who is
calling for this is a pro activists, okay, and she's
basically saying that uh Mandani is going to ban dogs
in New York City just because one of his prominent
supporters is pushing for it. Apparently right now. Add this
Greg on top of what is going on in New

(28:15):
York City and E Ray played this for me earlier today.
Mandani has already made significant moves to Islama size New York,
including blasting the Islamic call to prayer five times a
day throughout New York City.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Okay, all right, New York City.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
There you go, New York get what you voted for.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yeah, that's you know what I I don't. I'm not
thrilled with that. But man, it's the dogs. Get under
my skin real quick. He tried to mess with my dog.
Oh I love my dog.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Well, most Americans do. I mean dogs are another member
of the family. You had what two or three?

Speaker 3 (28:51):
One?

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Three dogs, Sumo tank, two little dogs, and then Ruby,
who's is more of a larger dog more it's kind
of a mixed breed but kind of looks like a
I don't know, Yorkshire Now my bull terrier kind of dog.
She's she's a sweetheart. She doesn't know that she looks scary.
She thinks she's pretty. But my three dogs, but now
my one dog.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
And so if someone picks on your dog, look out.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah you better watch out.

Speaker 6 (29:14):
Man.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
You saw the movie John Wick. It all started with
a dog. Okay, they killed his dog and there are
four movies afterwards after they killed his dog. Rightly, So,
so you mess with some you mess with a man's dog,
and I'll tell you what you mess with Queen bees dogs,
You're going you're barking up.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
The wrong well, let me tell you what this is,
what's going on in New York. I mean for her
to even suggest this is just nutty. She obviously doesn't
understand America's relationships with their dogs. Yeah, it's anything about cats, No,
I don't think so. Just the dogs.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Yeah, cats are don't go there unless.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
You'll hear from lovers, be careful.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
I'm not I'm not a cat lover, but I still
don't want to messing with the cats. The cat but
the dogs. Dogs have personality. Just look at you, like
their moody. What are you going to do for me?
That's what they That's what I see in their eyes.
But dogs, Uh, those are your that's they love you.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
They're moody, that's for sure, all right, Tom. We didn't
think they could do it. Is that a fair statement?

Speaker 1 (30:16):
I did. I was very skeptical. Yeah, and not in
a negative way. I really really really wanted this to happen,
but I was worried. I really was.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
On Friday, we had Rob Actson, whose chairman of the
Utah Republican Party, making one final push, and I think
you said on Friday they needed fifty thousand more signatures
to qualify this anti Prop four vote to get it
on the ballot, right, And you and I looked at
each other and said, and then we looked on the
on the website that they had set up and there
weren't that many locations. There was a strategy there.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Yes, it turns out, so we were sharing that we
had Rob on the show, as you've mentioned, and we
did share the website, and when we pulled up the website,
it looked like your opportunities to sign the ballot on
Saturday Linday were very, very limited. It was only on
Friday showing one site on Saturday where you could sign
it was in Draper, and we thought to ourselves, if
you're if you're trying to find that final push, this

(31:06):
seems limited in scope. Okay, we just got done sharing
the email address to look it up, and you would
think that you would have more. Well, when I woke
up Saturday and I saw on social media, I saw
probably ten spots, yes, that you could go and sign.
And I don't know if that was Sully County alone
or if that was long was said Trump, But there
was a lot lot more than what we're on the

(31:27):
website on Friday. Turns out that there were organized protests
that were they that they were organized to try and
intimidate and to compel people not to sign the petition.
There were bullhorns, there was heckling. They wanted to see
the person who decided that would go through this gauntlet

(31:48):
of people yelling at them to sign that they wanted
to see their personal information. So people that were doing
the signature gathering were creating a circle to produce them
to product the people that were protesting from video recording
the names and addresses of those that were signed. Kidding me, no,
this was really going on this weekend. They were looking
to try and docks the people that were signing if

(32:09):
they went through this gauntlet and they still wanted to sign,
they were looking for ways to intimidate them. And so
it makes sense to me now that they didn't give
the heads.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Up to all the locations, yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Where all those protests would be, so they wouldn't be
met with all of that then over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
And I think that's true. Clearly, that strategy, well, I
think it did great. Another example of that, my wife
said to me Saturday morning, I need to sign the petition.
Where do I do so? And I said, well, there
are only certain places to go. Right, she went online,
I said, check this out, and I think it was
the Davis County Library there in Cayeville where you could
go buy it. It wasn't there night, and it wasn't
there the night before. So I think a rob or

(32:49):
whoever helped out on this effort had a sense that
we better not put out too much of this information
because this Better Boundaries. Mormon Women for Ethical Government League
of whoever is behind all of this greg very well organized,
and they will get out and intimidate the daylights out
of you not to sign this.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Well, you just take some inventory here. We've never seen
such intimidation. You can talk about the Democrats and Jim
Crow two point zero, who on earth has surrounded us
signing a place to sign these, you know, to put
your signature for you know, the signature gathered and have
people with bullhorns and people trying to verbally accost you
to get you to not sign. And then there's a

(33:28):
portion of the law that allows for people to take
their names off if they felt like they were given
false information. Well, let me tell you what the left
is saying about. First, Better Boundaries was better Democrat boundaries.
So we know that now because we're better twenty four
plus Kamala Harris District. They drew proves that's exactly what
they meant. But what they're telling people that have signed it,
they look up because it's a public record of those

(33:49):
that have signed, and they're saying, did you know that
you were you were tricked into supporting more jerrymandering, And
they go, well, I don't want jerry mandering, Well, then
you need to take your near name off. They're being
had false information. And I've never seen the media case. Well,
I've never seen the media local media participate in the
left of center effort to stop people from signing. They

(34:11):
never got involved in this when Obamacare expansion was going
on the bout and they were signing people up and
they were paying for those signatures. I never saw one
of our local media ever report on the paid signatures
and why that was a bad thing to pay for
the signatures. We never saw people trying to heckle those
that were signing petitions on the right, well it was

(34:32):
for leftist causes like better boundaries or Obamacare expansion.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Think about medical marijuana. Yes, you know, you would think
there'd be a lot of people in this state say
we don't want that, we're going to intimidate them not
to do that.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
They didn't do it. But Democrats, amazingly are the ones
that scream, I protest the loudest about how they're being mistreated,
while they are the ones that fement violence and fear
to compel behavior. It really is the case. I'm wondering
if any of our listeners experienced any kind of intimidation
or heckling, or have been called and given false information

(35:04):
about what that that ballot measure is that they've gotten enough.
By the way, they need one hundred and forty thousand cigcatures,
but they collected two hundred.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
They got two hundred thousand.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
Right, and that is meant to try and account for
those that might not have qualified who signed, or people
that they're going to try and lie to to tell
them to take their name off the ballot.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Now, could someone who signed it still call and ask
their name be taken off?

Speaker 9 (35:24):
Now?

Speaker 6 (35:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (35:24):
I think so, Yes, I think that's real the case.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Yeah, so that's what they're working on as well.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
They're still doing.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, I've never seen an effort in this state like
we've witnessed with the signing on this proposition for issue,
I've never seen the local media. They're being complicit. They
are still pulling for the Democrats. The local media in
this town should be ashamed of itself not presenting a
fair picture as to what's going on. One in particular
that we won't bring up. But then, you know, an

(35:50):
effort to convince people to get their name off the
ballot or off the proposition. I've never seen anything like
that in this state.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
No, this is this is a very different process. You're
watching a roll out right now, and it's one that
they'd be the first to tell you that the other
side does. It's them Republicans that do it. You've never
seen this, You've never seen this conduct. You've never seen
this behavior. We're seeing it now up close and personal.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
I would like to have someone from Mormon Women for
Ethical Government. If it's ethical for a person to call
another person, lie about what they just signed, and tell
them take their name off the ballot.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Yeah, how is it more jerrymannering? When you have a
plus twenty four percent Kamala Harris district and then a
plus seventy percent Republican district, that seems to be more
Jerry mannered than the more even handed districts. You saw
that our state legislature draw.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
All right, we'd like to hear from you tonight. If
you were out signing a petition this weekend in an
effort to get on the ballot, if there was some
intimidation that you ran in, you run into anything eight
eight eight five seven eight zero one zero triple eight
five seven o eight zero one zero, email us, or
you can just di'al pound two fifteen and say hey Rod,
they'll put you into the show, or leave a message
on our talk back line. And what you need to

(36:59):
do there is download the iHeart Radio app, iHeart Media
app and then make sure you put in ky and
rs and you can leave us a talkback message as well.
Eight eight eight five seven eight zero one zero. Did
you see or did you experience any intimidation this weekend
if you were going to sign the Prop four petitioner
They say they turned in signatures two hundred thousand, Well

(37:21):
they need one.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
One hundred and forty thousands, so they've kind a cushion
there to play with. You get that cushion that they're looking.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
But we have heard stories all weekend of people who
are trying to sign a position, or those helping out
who are being intimidated by people just blaring horns, yelling
at them, screaming in hackling them.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
Trying to videotape their signatures so they can get their
name doc seeing them if they could, trying to block
them so you can sign in privacy.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
Well, we want to hear your stories eight eight eight
five seven eight zero one zero, or you can leave
us some message on our talk back line. Let's go
to the phone.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Yeah, let's go to Ryan in Salt Lake City. Ryan,
thank you for holding and welcome to the Rod and
Greg Show.

Speaker 10 (38:00):
Yeah, nice to speak to you. I'm a longtime listener,
first time caller.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
Thank you.

Speaker 10 (38:04):
My name's Ryan Mahoney. I was actually a person running
for a state Senate District thirteen here in Utah. I
felt helping the Turning Point Action people. This weekend we
had a constant stream of people coming out wanting to
sign the petition. We also had several bad acting protesters
come out and they had their signs and their screaming
and videotaping, like you said, and making threats to following

(38:26):
people around to their houses to try and get them
to remove their signatures and setting off their car alarms
and blasting stereos and making inappropriate comments about how they
think Tyler Robinson's being held.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
Ilegally and needs to just be set free.

Speaker 10 (38:40):
And it was very, very intimidating, but the people were
very well receiving, So we were appreciative of everybody that
came out.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
The people who were sign wanting to sign the petitions.
What were they telling you, Ryan, I mean, were they
gung ho on this? What were they telling you?

Speaker 10 (38:57):
Well, there's a lot of people who just needed more
more information. They had kind of heard about it, and
we're on the fence, and they just wanted a better
explanation of what it meant and how it represents Utah
and how the voters have a better understanding of what
Utah needs versus judges and the other side of this.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
So okay, right it wrote final question, I just did
it work with anyone? Did you see anybody just look
and say, you know, it's just too much hasshle to sign.
I don't want to go through this gauntlet of bullhorns
and yelling and having people die. It just looks like
it's too much drama. And they turned around and went away,
Did they foment the fear, did they compel behavior like
they were trying?

Speaker 10 (39:39):
There was some on the last day up in Ogden.
They had created kind of a line in between where
you signed with the protesters, so you had to kind
of walk through their line, kind of like a human wall.
So it was a little intimidating. I don't know how
many people it turned away, but I went and grabbed
a flag and started waving people down the street to
kind of create an outer welcoming will. I'll be like, hey,

(40:01):
just come on in. You're still here welcoming and we're
still open.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
So good for you. It's a lot of fun. Good
for you, Ryan, Thank you for thank you.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Is there been any mainstream local media covering that.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
Probably not.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
I you talk about the whole concept behind Jim Crow
two point zero is that you're there's intimidation tactics being
used to quiet to vote, something to chill voting, turnout,
to keep people from actually going and voting. This is
exactly that. If you're trying to intimidate, Yes, if you're
trying to intimidate to keep people from signing a petition

(40:36):
and you're going to heckle them and you're going to
do those things to try and dissuade them from doing
what they legally are allowed to do, and that is
sign that petition. You're doing exactly the things that you are.
You claim to be so concerned about, but we know
they're not really concerned.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
It's just it's power. Yeah, that's what it's all right,
Let's go to our talk back line. Here's a comment
from one of our great listeners.

Speaker 11 (40:59):
Hey, this is broad from Lehigh. There was a person
standing next to the signature gatherer wearing a plackard sign
that said don't sign not good. I also sent an
email to the editor of the other media outlet just
for the bias the headline attached to the article about

(41:19):
signature gathering.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
I'm trying to remember, thank you for your talk about comment.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
Great.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Try remember what that headline said.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
It said that people were signing, people were signing the
petition under false premise, under false pretenses. That the story
was those that were gathering the signatures were lying about
what it was the signers were signing. But that's I mean,
that's not true. Well, I and you've heard that the
way they're trying to get signatures off is by saying,
did you know you vote you they got you to

(41:48):
sign to support more jerryman Yeah. I don't know how
you get more jerrymannering than a seventy percent Republican district
and a plus twenty four percent Kamala Harris district. These
look like massive swings. Was the judge's name, judged Diana Gibson?

Speaker 2 (42:03):
Dirty Diana, Yes, dirty Diana.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
Dirty Diana Gibson.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
All right, more of your calls and contents coming up
on the rowden, Greg Joe.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
The intimidation harassment that people signing the petition had had
to go through, and the people that were doing this, uh,
they look like they were acting straight out of Minnesota
the way they were behaving trying to get people not
to sign.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
So I've never seen anything like it here. I really have,
well usually done it in this state. People are respectful
of other people. We have that Utah Knights thing going
and we're respectful. Not It shows you the level the
level of desperation that the Democrats in this state have
when it comes to getting a congressional district that they
think they can win.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
And the selective outrage of our media that doesn't If
this was the right was treating the left this way
in our collections of Obamacare expansion petition signatures, which they did,
or the better boundaries where they gamed it. If you
saw the right do what the left is doing now,
you would see it on every news report and it
would be the worst thing you've ever heard of. It
is crickets from this local media. Yeah, it is all

(43:07):
right for our listeners. They're telling us, they're.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
Telling us the truth. Let's go back to the phones, Greg.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
Yeah, let's go to Tim who's been waiting in provo. Tim,
thank you for holding. Welcome to the routing, Greg show.

Speaker 5 (43:18):
Well, thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
What did you see out there?

Speaker 12 (43:23):
Well, I signed I signed it at a Walmart when
a guy came up to me. I knew all about
it because I listened to your show and others, and
then my wife was with me, and then she received
a text message the next day and it says big
red square, it says Utah Alert, and then it says

(43:43):
under that in small print paid for by the Republican
National Committee, authorized by Utahn's for Representative Government. And then
the text message is warning, be careful about people asking
you for your information about petition signatures. We have received

(44:05):
reports that these paid canvassers worked for a firm under
criminal investigation in another state. Wow, don't give them your information,
just say no. So that's what she got. And she,
you know, sent me this and saying you gave him
our address and your signature, and it was like, it
doesn't really sound that real to me. But I didn't

(44:27):
hear anything else about it until your show today.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
How how I wonder how they got you her telephone number?
I mean, is it on the petition? How did they
get the number to begin with him? Any idea?

Speaker 12 (44:38):
I have no idea. She's Canadian and doesn't really do
American politics like ideas. She just kind of rolls her eyes,
So I have no idea about it. But she sent
this to me concerned, you know, hey, look you signed this,
and it was like, uh, well, you know, back in
you know, she was worried that it was my name

(44:58):
and address on there. And I just told, you know,
back in my day, we used to have phone books
where everybody's name and address we're in the phone book.
So I wasn't too worried about it. But yeah, that's
what she got.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
Wow, Jim, thank you for that input. And you're not.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
He's not the only one.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
I mean, I really Queen Bee got that same.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
Exact Yeah, we're saying your wife got it. What what
the text say exactly.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
As he said, criminal paid canvassers under criminal investigation in
other states are asking for your information, don't sign Yeah,
and and representing itself as a republican organization.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Ah yeah really all right, let's go to the talk
back line. Here's one of our comments.

Speaker 3 (45:34):
Hi, this is Doug from Murray.

Speaker 5 (45:37):
We signed on Saturday and no problem, no one heckling us,
no one is there.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
It was great.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
Everyone's friendly.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
It was a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
They thanked me and off. I went perfect, No, that's
why it should be.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
Yeah, you know, and again I go back to what
we discussed at the beginning of the program Friday, before
we left the show, we said, wow, there's only one
spot in Sally County and Draper from this time, and
that seemed odd. And then but they populated it big
time on Saturday, that website, and I think that that helped.
I don't think they could they could put enough organizers
around all these different places, and I think that's why

(46:11):
they did it. By design, they held off those locations
till maybe the day.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
And they've been intimidating even before this weekend, so the
Republican Party knows they're really going to come.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
So well, after we had our interview, we had a
caller that a listener who reached out to us in
a message and said, I can't make it. The one
place on Saturday is too far away, and the other
place on Sundays while I'm at church, I won't be
able to do it. And it was frustrated. Yeah, if
they went to if they went to the website again
on Saturday, they would have seen a much a lot
more often hopefully.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
All right, here's another comment on the talk back line.

Speaker 9 (46:44):
Hey, guys, my experience with the whole signature gathering was
I signed and somehow somebody got my information and they
sent me not only a text message, but in the
email asking if it was really me that did it,
because they know that, you know, people wouldn't really do that.

(47:07):
It has to be a bad actor. Where do they
get my information from?

Speaker 6 (47:12):
That's what I want?

Speaker 9 (47:12):
Don't know?

Speaker 2 (47:12):
Yeah, I asked that same question, how they getting the information?

Speaker 1 (47:15):
So it is actually so what happens on these you're
these you have once you sign that the other side
can approach people and say were you fully informed when
you sign? And would you want to take your name off?
And they can show them how to get their name
off if they'd like to.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
But if he hadn't been approached and they've got his information,
how do they get that off? The signature has been
turned into anybody officially.

Speaker 6 (47:39):
That they did.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
Someone take a picture, so that's dock them. That's wrong.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
If there hadn't been any administrative process between the time
he signed and when those communications started, then that is
suspect because and that's where some people have reported. I've
seen this on social media, but I've and people I know,
by the way, not just anonymous names maybe making things up.
People that I know who signed and said they were
trying to record with their phones people's names and addresses

(48:04):
infrom as much as you have to put on there,
so that they could turn that around and harass them, Yeah,
and intimidate them to take it off.

Speaker 3 (48:10):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
You know what, Greg, if we had a fair minded
media in this town, which unbelieved I don't think exists anymore,
really surprises me. Someone would be on this story and
find out who's behind this text messaging, Well, how did
they do it? How'd they get ferent? That calls for
a low investigative journalism, But that story that people like,
like a last couple of callers, they'd like, no, how

(48:32):
did you get my information? Frightening?

Speaker 3 (48:35):
You know.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
And the thing is when we talk about even the
Save Act, when we talk about the Democrats are saying
that the reason they don't like the Save Act is
they think that that's a way to intimidate legal voters
from wanting to vote because they might not have the
idea or they're going to be scrutinized in a way
that they don't want to be, and so it has
a chilling effect. It's a stretch, it's a logical extreme

(48:56):
that doesn't exist. This that we're talking about, going to
these signatures, gathering places with bullhorns and signs and recording
people taking pictures and having people stand around them so
they can sign them privacy. That is true intimidation. That
is the real thing. That's the real thing. Yes, that
is the real thing rolling out. And you don't have
a sort that I know of. You don't have anybody

(49:17):
reporting authentically and accurately about what's happening, right now and they.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Should all right. More coming up, more your calls and
comings here on the Rod and Greg Show eight eight
eight five seven o eight zero one zero. Download the
iHeartRadio app, look for knrs and leave us so talkback
coming as well. More coming up on Utah's Talk Radio
one oh five nine knrs intimidation if you're out there
signing the petition to get rid of Prop four. Back
to the phones we go. Let's talk with Gary in

(49:42):
Layton tonight. Gary, how are you welcome to the Rod
and Greg Show.

Speaker 6 (49:46):
Thank good, Thank you very much, appreciate you guys.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (49:51):
I got that same message that said your information will
be taken and had that red square on it kind
of to alert you to the message. And the odd
thing is my message came in about an hour after
the signature closing on Sunday. And the other odd thing
is I save all my I folded all my text

(50:11):
messages because I had a packet myself and I was
getting people to sign it. And I got a message
from Mike Lee that was just kind of a random
text message, and I got one from President Trump, and
I got one from Spencer Cox, all of them in
favor of repealing brought four and so I'd use those
to help people convince them to sign. Well, the alert

(50:34):
that I got on the the last one after the
signing was over, came on the same phone number as
Spencer Cox's uh solicitation to sign, So somehow weird it
was saying don't sign on the solicit on the one
and to sign on the other.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
Oh, that's kind of weird.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
Yeah, Gary, that's that's that's a vendor that vendors. That
vendor is working for the governor Governor Cox on one
hand and then picking up a client with you. They
buy those phone numbers.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
Yeah, so is that how they do it?

Speaker 1 (51:03):
That's how they do it.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
Let's get a quick comment on our talk back line.

Speaker 12 (51:07):
I wasn't able to sign.

Speaker 11 (51:08):
I was actually out of town for work, but I still.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
Received that same text message that y'all are talking about. Wow,
how are they doing that? If he didn't even sign
the petition?

Speaker 1 (51:19):
Can you believe that?

Speaker 2 (51:21):
I mean, these guys are I mean, they're crazy, Greg,
they really are. These people are there. It's kind of
like boo, they're so focused on getting this darn district
and they can't think straight.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
And when these things happen in real time. I know
that the that the media is left of center. I
know they're born that. I know that's just what they
want the world to look like. Their worldview just doesn't
match with the rest of Utah. But how do you
honestly ignore that kind of over the top behavior? We've
never seen it is unprecedented in the state. You've never
seen this conduct before.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
We have none. All right, another full hour. They're rodding
Greg joke coming up here on Utah's Talk Radio one
oh five nine. Can are I stay with us?

Speaker 1 (52:02):
I'm glad that we have eyes and ears on the
ground ready to report and share experiences here on the show,
because we're the only ones I think talking about it.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
I want you to remember one thing, folks out there,
as this fight goes on. The two people who are
behind on this effort, Barack Obama and Eric Holder. They
started to have organizations all around the country doing this
and they're behind this. So just keep that in mind,
folks as we wait to this battle. All right, shall

(52:31):
we talk about Marco rubil Let's Marco Rubio. I tell
you what he has become a I think Greg a
shining star in the Trump administration. He is so articulate
when it comes to foreign policy issues. I don't think
we've had a better secretary of State for quite some time.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
It is I didn't see it coming. I thought he's
a solid guy. I never had any doubts about Senator
Mark Rubio, but I never saw I never expected to
see him serve as Secretary of State in this Trump administration.
The way he has and the leadership he's shown, I
think the way he's grown and this speech over the weekend,
this is I think it's something that will be talked

(53:09):
about for a very long time.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Well, I went back and listened to it all twenty
two to twenty one minutes of it, and I thought
it was fantastic. And joining us on our news maker
line to talk more about that as our good friend
Guy Shiraki, a political commentator and contributor to Broad and Liberty, Guy,
how are you welcome back to the show.

Speaker 5 (53:26):
Thanks for having me back.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
Good evening.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
I appreciate that that will That was quite a speech
that he gave. I mean, I went back and listened
to the whole thing, and that was a that was
just a wonderful speech Marco Rubio gave.

Speaker 5 (53:40):
Yeah, there are these moments where we have to go
back and take note because it's so impactful. I was
actually in the middle of writing a column on a
totally different subject, and my wife kept playing the speech
over and over on her phone and said, you've got
to see this. So I credit to my wife. I
agree with you, guys. I look, I I wrote in

(54:00):
my column. I think it's the most important speech by
an American since Ronald Reagan said tear down this wall.
I think it wonderfully encapsulated President Trump's foreign policy. But
did it in a way that, you know, hearkened even
to Reagan's calls for American greatness, you know, Kennedy's call

(54:21):
of we can, you know, meet any task if we
put our minds to it. It was a wake up
call that unified not only Republicans, not only Americans, but
Western culture. It reached out the hand to Europe and said, look,
we've been tough on you, but we're tough on you
because we care about you. We're intertwined with you. Your

(54:44):
future is our future, and we need to defend what
we've done in the past and prepare for the future.

Speaker 3 (54:51):
You know.

Speaker 5 (54:52):
As as so, I just stopped to write it because
I wanted to draw attention to it. I appreciate the
opportunity because I think it speaks to all of our
better angels here in America and reminds us why we
do what we do and where America and the West
stands in the world.

Speaker 1 (55:08):
It's that important, you know, guy, He pointed to a
shared You know that that our that our bonds were
as nations were forged by centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry,
and sacrifices our forefathers made together. But he says at times,
when times we disagree, that comes from a profound sense

(55:29):
about uh, which for the things that we're connected, not
just economically and not just militarily, we're connected spiritually and
connected culturally. Let me ask you, do you is this
the same Marco Rubio I saw as a senator. I
liked Marco Rubio as a centator. I thought he was
a great senator. But is this the same guy we're
looking at today?

Speaker 6 (55:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (55:50):
I think he is the same guy.

Speaker 6 (55:51):
And I talked.

Speaker 5 (55:52):
I talked with you guys. I think maybe last year
about this. I think no person embodies the evolution of
the Republican already over the last few years than Marco Rubio.
I think he has stayed true to his values, but
I think his tone, his temperament, and his priorities have

(56:13):
been deeply impacted by the last ten years. At his core,
he's a conservative. At his core, he believes in conservative values,
but I think the last ten years have shaped him.
And I think when he says to the European leaders, look,
we thought when the Cold War was over, we won,
and we thought we could all just focus on trade,
and we'd play nice with each other, and we'd all

(56:35):
just have open borders and love one another. In many ways,
I think Marco Rubio is talking about nations, but I
think he's talking about himself. We tried it that way
and it was a disaster. Our cultures are in danger.
We outsourced our work to China. We allow our enemies
to produce energy, certainly for our friends in Europe were

(56:58):
Poland German, France are indebted to the Russians. So I
think he's so powerful on it, guys, because I think
in many ways this messages also tells you about him
that we tried it to go along get a long way.
We tried to keep extending the hand of friendship and
kept having it smacked and having our enemies steal from

(57:20):
our pockets. And so I think he encapsulates the Trump agenda,
but he says in a Rubio way, which says, we
tried it the other way, it didn't work, and this.

Speaker 3 (57:29):
Is the wake up call, you know, guy.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
I love the fact how we talked about the decline
of Western civilization and seen in Europe with mass migration,
the Green agenda. You know, now free speech is under attack.
And he said he conveyed the President's message. The President
is concerned about it, not only in Europe because we
need a strong Europe, but also in the United States.
And I loved when he said we need the UN,

(57:54):
but it needs to be reformed. He's not talking about
getting rid of it, He's talking about reforming it. And
that's what I think the President is trying to do.

Speaker 6 (58:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (58:05):
I mean, Rod, that's such a good point because I
think so much of the national media, so much of
the legacy media on Trump is always at him as
sort of the bad cop. Yeah, the scoundrel, the guy
pushing the agendas. But they don't explain why. And Rubio
just did, We're not yelling at Europe because they work

(58:25):
for us. We're not yelling at Europe because it's sport.
We're not yelling at Europe out of content. We're sort
of saying it like a family member would say to
somebody that's going down the wrong path that needs an intervention.
Trump's message when he says to Germany, pay your fair share,
or when he says to Great Britain, don't trample on
free speech. It's not in a disparaging way. It's in

(58:47):
a loving way and a familia and a cohort. Get
your act together.

Speaker 6 (58:51):
Guys.

Speaker 5 (58:51):
You have a proud history. You've brought us universities, you
brought us Nchelangelis, you brought us the Sistine Chapel, you
brought us the you know, the to Trump, you brought
us so much. Why are you not proud of this?
Why are you not fighting for this? Why are you
not defending it. It's one thing to welcome in other people,
but you welcome them in because you want them to

(59:12):
celebrate your culture.

Speaker 3 (59:14):
Why are you not doing it? So?

Speaker 5 (59:16):
I think Rubio says it in that way that says, look,
we're not chastising you to sort of slap you on
the risk. We're saying, hey, buck up. We're on your side.
We've done great things together. We've brought down the Soviet Union,
but our work isn't done. We have China on the move,
we have Iran rattling its neighbors. We have dictators and
drug lords around the world. Look, gang, our work is

(59:38):
not done, and Freedom's work is never done. It's time
to stop celebrating. And as he says, you know, the
United States is not here to preside over the decay
and the collapse in Western civilization. And we invite you
to join us. That's why I think it's so powerful.
It's a call to action. It's not a slap on
the risk. It's extending the hand and saying we've done

(01:00:00):
great things together, we are duty bound to do them again.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
You know, Guy, I think it's I think it's courageous.
You're you're you're in Munich. You I'm sure there's State
Department people that think diplomacy looks nothing like what Reagan
said back when he told Gorbachev to tear down this wall,
or what what Marco Rubio was I think saying, very
very artfully, but very directly. My question is is that
courage that he I think it again, I think that's

(01:00:24):
courageous to go there and say these things as direct
as he did. Is it contagious? Does it have anything
to do with the Czech prime minister Deputy prime minister.
We've talked about him today, how he kind of called
Hillary out of you know, he challenged her. He and
he said, can I finish please? I know this makes
you feel nervous, but and he challenged her. I've not
seen her challenged in that way. Would you point to

(01:00:46):
some of the things that Rubio showing by way of
leadership that would allow for an exchange like that, or
are they just is this is this just a trend
that's starting to happen and emerge maybe organically.

Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
Yeah, I look great.

Speaker 5 (01:00:58):
I think I think it's both. I think it's Rubio
showing leadership. I think it's Rubio also sort of saying,
let me re explain to you what the Trump doctrine is,
let me explain to you what the President's vision is.
And in terms of the strengthening look, we're beginning to
see it. We're seeing it in Hungary, We're seeing in Italy,

(01:01:20):
we're seeing it in Japan, you know, our neighbors in
the Far East, we're seeing these leaders come together that
says capitalism is much superior to socialism and communism. The
free market works. At the same time, we cannot allow
dictators and people who subsidize their economies to take advantage

(01:01:41):
of it. So I think it was courageous of Ruby
to say it, because that was a room of diplomat
and it was a room of diplomats and leaders for
him to say, look, in so many words, look, the
cocktail parties are nice, but the cocktail parties don't solve
these problems. And they haven't. They haven't solved the problems
of of China being in charge of our manufacturing and

(01:02:03):
Russia and Iran and Venezuela being in charge of our
oil and energy. We've been we've been asleep at the
switch while we've been congratulating in each other and having champagne.
So I think it was courageous. But I also think
that he knows that sleeping in these nations. As we
see the new Prime Minister of Italy and the leaders
in Hungary and the different chech and look in Poland

(01:02:25):
poll the Poles have been wonderful allies and at times
more courageous in favor of the free market and fighting
against communism than even many in the West. I think
he sees them and he wants to say to them, look,
you know, stand firm. We're coming to help. And again
that's the message, right. The message is not to chastise
the French, or the British or anyone else. It's to say,

(01:02:46):
you've done so much. You know that the Briton of Churchill,
the Briton of Margaret Thatcher. You have a history of
standing up for what is right. Go back to that.
Stop apologizing and stop giving up on your culture, as
if it's something to apologize for. So Rubio shore courage.
But I also think he showed the light that said,

(01:03:07):
and this is how we do it together. Trump has
explained what we have to do and why.

Speaker 3 (01:03:12):
Trump.

Speaker 5 (01:03:13):
Now Rubio comes into it, and now this is how
we do it. And he gives them the love and
the carrot in the stack. We hope, we implore you
to do this with us, but if you don't, we
will do it alone. And I think that was the
right balance. It was the Trump asque heck, we'll do
it alone, but it was Rubio saying, come join us.
I think it was masterfully done. At the end, of

(01:03:35):
the day. It unified. It's a unifying message for America,
but extends that hand to us because at the end
of the day, if America and Europe are on the
same side, fighting for the same values, in the same
way of life, we can be a wonderful force for good.
If we don't, the Chinese will step into there and
Russia will do their bidding.

Speaker 3 (01:03:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
I just hope those diplomats in Europe were listening. I
fear they weren't, But we'll have to see what happens.
Guy as always great chatting with you. Thank you. We'll
talk to you a getting down the road. Thanks guy,
all right, take care of Hey. Thanks all right. That's
guy Shiraki. Great insight into that, and I would I
would encourage people, if you have time, it's only about
twenty two minutes in length, go back and listen to

(01:04:16):
what he said. It's really really powerful. Yeah, don't list
to just clips. Clips are fine, but listen to the
whole thing.

Speaker 6 (01:04:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
I think also that if it is going to be meaningful,
we'll be talking about it for a long long time.
If it isn't meaningful, the world will move on and
we won't talk about it again. And I hope we
keep talking about it, because I do think he it was.
It was courageous but masterful how he framed both the
you know, the common bonds, but also we're not here
to clean up your mess.

Speaker 3 (01:04:43):
I think it was.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
It was good.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
Yeah, all right, more coming up. It is Rod and
Greg with you on this Tuesday and Utah's Talk Radio
one oh five nine. Okay, anas are now turning to
distant Bahama or supplies that's going to be that's going
to be cheap. So let's see, it has to fly
through or it has to float through the Gulf of
Mexico or Gulf of America, go through the Panama Canal

(01:05:08):
up around the west coast to California, and to give
them ghasoline and only take they say about eight weeks.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
You know what I the problem is. I wish that
their mismanagement would just stay within their own state, their
own state, you know, borders state line. But it doesn't.
It ripples. There's a ripple effect to their mismanagement. Being
as large as they are, as large of an economy
as they have. When they start running out of refined fuel,
they start looking elsewhere, and that ultimately impacts our own

(01:05:37):
state in a negative way, and so we it's it's
you know, it's bad enough that the California can't do
anything logical or sane or even sustainable. Man the ripple
effect for the rest of us, it's it is real.
We all have to suffer, especially out here in the
Western States, with their with what they're doing.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
Now speaking of a state, another state that has gone
a little goofy Honust is Colorado.

Speaker 1 (01:06:02):
Yes, yeah, right, we're surrounded, aren't we.

Speaker 2 (01:06:03):
Yeah, we are. Well. A bill introduced this week in
the Colorado State Senate would make Colorado, ready for this one,
the first state in the US to fully decriminalized prostitution.

Speaker 6 (01:06:17):
You know you did that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:19):
I swear they were one of the first states. Maybe
California's first, but Colorado made, you know, legalized recreational marijuana.

Speaker 2 (01:06:26):
The first one. I think they were number one.

Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
They're just crazy about it. And and how's that gone?
Even in New York Times is saying, we made a mistake.
This is a nightmare. So now they're going to double down,
maybe triple down. They're going to make prostitution legal. But
you know, that is the true pro choice position. If
you want to choose what you do with your body, right, yeah,
I guess so.

Speaker 2 (01:06:45):
The bill would require the entire state break to decriminalize
commercial sexual activity among consenting adults, both for people who
buysex and for people who sell it. Now you're saying, well,
wait a minute, what about Nevada. Right, Well, there's a difference.
In Nevada, prostitution is only legal within licensed houses of

(01:07:07):
prostitution or brothels, and some counties in that state have
bandoned entirely. So Nevada is very select. In Colorado, whole state.
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 1 (01:07:17):
Well, let's see where that's them, right. You know I
always call bills like that the Utah Economic Stimulus Act.
I mean I think that our economy are just everything's
going to get better the worse they get. Yeah, I
hope people just want to be serious adults and new
business in a state like Utahs they're going to be.
They're going to go cuckoo for cocoa pops and count
in Colorado, come on over here, let's go get some jobs,

(01:07:37):
create jobs, make money.

Speaker 2 (01:07:39):
Decriminalizing marijuana, no, decriminalizing prostitution.

Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
Look, I see no positive trajectory with that, I guess abby.

Speaker 2 (01:07:47):
With the news coming up next right here on Utah's
Talk Radio one oh five nine knrs. I'm brought our.

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
Kim Citizen Greg Hughes. It's an a list of we
get the best. These are nationally publicized columnists.

Speaker 8 (01:08:00):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
It's Rod's Rolodeck. He's got them all.

Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
He calls Roodex.

Speaker 1 (01:08:05):
Yeah, you're ready, you got the role.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
He's got the rollo deck. Okay, I have a question
for you. Where were you five years ago today when
you heard Rush Limbad died? Do you remember? I do,
which is kind of weird.

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
So what are we at twenty twenty six, seven, twenty
twenty one. Yep, yeah, I have no idea. I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
Really, I remember because this I was driving in Okay
and I was about to get to the station. It
was just a couple of minutes before Rush came on
and his show starts and it's it's his wife Catherine,
and I said, uh, oh, something's not good. Yeah, you know,
and she announced on his show that he had passed
away that night or early that morning and gave a

(01:08:47):
very eloquent comment about it. And pulled into the parking
lot and I got all of a sudden people calling
me saying, has Rush died? As Rush died, what are
you going to do? All these kinds of questions, But
I remember that vividly and one of those moments where
I went wow.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
So was he on the air till the day off
to the day dynamy.

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
Most I mean, I'm about era comment from him. This
was at the end of twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:09:10):
Well, I remember his last Christmas. Yeah, and he said goodbye.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
Yeah, this this end of Christmas. This is a portion
of what he said. He normally would not say anything
until the end of the show, but he started off
the show talking about the year he had been through
because remember Greg, what was it January or February of
that year? He was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer
and he went through that entire year and said it's terminal.

(01:09:35):
Nothing I can do, but we're going to try and
make it as comfortable as we can. And he went
on for almost a full year, but this was one
of his last comments on his final show of twenty twenty.
He came back to do a few more shows, but
then he died a couple of couple of weeks later.
Here are some of his final comments on that show.

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
We Americans have adapted.

Speaker 13 (01:09:56):
To our problems We've adapted to change evolutionary things in
our lives in our country because of our freedom. Our
freedom has allowed our adaptability. If disaster is coming our way,
we don't just sit there and endure it. We come

(01:10:18):
up with ways to avoid it, to beat it back,
to overcome it. But we don't just sit there and
accept it. And as such, we don't just resign ourselves
to the fact that we're living in the darkest days,
because we, at least to this point, still have the

(01:10:40):
greatest degree of freedom of any people on Earth.

Speaker 1 (01:10:42):
Now it's under assault and under attack, and we all
know this. But I don't believe our darkest days are
ahead of us.

Speaker 2 (01:10:49):
I never have. It was referring to a comment that
Joe Biden had made after the election talking about COVID nineteen,
and Joe Biden actually said our darkest days are yet
to come. Rush was a firm believer in the strength
of the American people, and he spoke about that one time.
I remember him talking about the fact that, well, what
are you going to do when Trump leaves? Okay? And

(01:11:10):
he said, Donald Trump is a symbol, but the American
people are the strength of this country. With or without Trump.
They will carry on. He believed it the American people,
and he was spot on.

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
He really was, and that's what his appeal was. By
the way, I just went back to my calendar to
see where I was on February seventeenth of twenty twenty one.
It was a Wednesday, and I was doing a segment
with you that day.

Speaker 2 (01:11:32):
So we must have spoken. We must have spoken about it, yes,
but it would not have.

Speaker 1 (01:11:37):
Gone on unnoticed. It would have been so yeah. So
I mean, you know, he look I had. I was political.
I got up. You know in ninety one my father
and my future father in law told me, you're heard
this guy rustling ball. I'll hear him out.

Speaker 2 (01:11:50):
Oh that's where you heard it.

Speaker 1 (01:11:51):
And I heard it and I went, wow, this guy
this is he puts it, he frames it perfectly, and
I would I'd listen. I was in college. I listen
to him every day.

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
Yeah. I wasn't a big Rush fan for a long
long time because I was working at another station. We
didn't carry him. I didn't have time to listen to it.
But when I came over here, I really started to
pay attention to what Rush was saying. And he would
always say, you got to give me what was it,
three months, six weeks, whatever the case, give me that
amount of time and just listen to the show so
you can see where I'm coming from. That's right, right, well,

(01:12:20):
so you can understand. And then as as time goes on,
the unbelievable talent that Rush had. He had the ability
to look at an issue from an angle nobody has
ever thought about, that's right, you know. And every when
there was a big story, state of the unit, whatever
was going on, I would always say to myself, what

(01:12:43):
is Rush going to say today? And he'd surprise you.
You try and guess, but he always was able to
approach things from an area nobody even thought about. And
you go, wow, where did he come up with that idea?

Speaker 3 (01:12:56):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:12:57):
Interesting? So I read a book. Andrew Breitbart wrote the
book about how he became political at all, and he
got he graduated from college, wasn't really political, and nature
went to LSU because it was like the number one
party school, he said. So he gained a ton of weight,
but now he's he'd lived a good life. His you know,
family grew He grew up in Brentwood, California, in LA
and everyone he knew was liberal, but he gets goes

(01:13:18):
for his first job post college, and he's so fat
that he decides he's going to jog during his lunch break.
He's got to lose weight. He's paying rent now, he's
you know, paying bills, and he stumbles across Rush Limbaugh
and he starts to listen to him while he's running
every day. And it was in that time that he
started this guy is making a lot of sense. And
it was contrary to the way he'd grown up and

(01:13:40):
his cool hippie friends when he was going to when
he was in high school or even in college, and
he was so intrigued by Rush. He really does did
in his book attribute to his conversion to being a
conservative stalwart to Rush Limbaugh and listening to him and
just really doing it to listen to something to take
his mind off the fatigue of running jogging, and then
he just became, you know, a big fan.

Speaker 3 (01:14:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
I think he started in eighty eight. And a lot
of people credit Rush with getting Donald Trump elected the
first time. Yes, because you know it was Rush who
was out there pounding these conservative principles time and time again,
and sooner or later the American people would buy into
what he was saying. I think they bought into what
he was saying, and that's why they elected Donald Trump

(01:14:24):
and probably why they elected him in a second time too,
even though Rush wasn't right up until the end, Rush
wasn't around.

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):
I remember the Stay of the Union when he received
the medal of what was it, the medal.

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
Honor anybody can get in this country.

Speaker 1 (01:14:37):
From President Trump at that Stay of the Union, and
you could see it meant a lot to Rush, and boy,
I think RUSSI has meant a lot to so many, myself,
my family, my wife. She can't really she probably if
Queen Bee was listening to our show, when she hears
what she has to turn it off because it's just
too hard. I mean, she misses him so much. She
doesn't she can't even listen to replace because it was

(01:14:59):
such a state. People in her life listening to him
every afternoon and never it never got old. Other people,
you listen to it for a long time, it can
start to get old.

Speaker 2 (01:15:07):
Never got old.

Speaker 3 (01:15:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
Yeah, And there's no doubt because of Rush, Limbaugh Talk
Radio would not be where it is today.

Speaker 1 (01:15:14):
I truly agree.

Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
All right, more coming up the Rod and Gregg Show
final segment, coming your way right here on Utah's talk
radio one O five nine kN rs. Yes, you're ready
for this. The the New York Left. His Muslim her
name is Nerdine Kisswani. I believe uh said the other
day that NYC is coming to Islam dogs being filthy

(01:15:37):
and unfit to live in homes. So she was thinking
about saying they shouldn't You shouldn't have dogs inside your
home anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
They are not past I think that's a deal killer
in person.

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
Well, Florida Representative Randy Fine went after her said what
most of us were thinking, we choose our dogs.

Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:15:54):
Well, she has now come back and said, Randy Fine
posted this genocidal statement about the thing is, no one
is forcing you to choose. He just told he just
likes the millions of other races hounding me this past week.

Speaker 1 (01:16:09):
No, she doesn't like our dogs, and she's trying to
tell us we can't have our dogs. And we're saying
that we'd rather take our dogs than you, which isn't genocidal.
That's just my preference. I like my dog Ruby more
than her. I'm not embarrassed to say it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:22):
Yeah, have you been watching much of the Olympics, no other.

Speaker 1 (01:16:26):
Than the cheating Canadians, those Cannots. They are cheat and cheating.
Thanks to our listeners, Thanks to our listeners who've pretty
much in the last what ten days, made me an
expert on curling. Because now I'm an expert because I've
I've you know, I've been introduced to and convinced that
this is a sport worthy of my full attention. I
have now learned that there's Canadians, both male and female teams, cheat, cheat, cheat.

(01:16:50):
They are touching that thing after they're not allowed to.
There's an area and I'll touch it. They let it
go and then he takes his little finger and he
pushes it. And then the women they did it too,
and they got they actually got penalized by the referee
for it. But the but the Canadian men's team did
it twice. But but these other countries are onto them,
so they're putting different angle cameras on them so they
can't get caught cheating. But they cheat. That's all you

(01:17:13):
need to know about the Canadians cheating at curling.

Speaker 2 (01:17:15):
He pointed this out to have you taken a look
at the Italian curling team?

Speaker 1 (01:17:19):
Yes, yes, are you talking the women's team or the
men's team. I'm just asking for a friend. I'm just
asking the women's Okay, okay, just checking. But no, no,
I all these athletes, I mean they're athletes. It's that's
you know, they're all they all seem fit, you know.
But those those Canucks, I'm gonna tell you, they have

(01:17:41):
just they've turned me off.

Speaker 3 (01:17:42):
Boy.

Speaker 1 (01:17:42):
They and the guy got all mad and yelled. Yeah
when you go, and you can see it. You can
see his finger touching it the whole time.

Speaker 2 (01:17:48):
Well. Ah, speaking of the Morning consult poll shows that
what is it? That's a sixty percent of the people surveyed.
Have you either already watched or planning to watch the
Olympics big game tomorrow the US Yes hockey team.

Speaker 1 (01:18:03):
Yeah, that I'm excited for.

Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
That will be a big one tomorrow. Now, I know
you're a big fan of Saint George. You'll love that area.
Liberty love that Liberty Land. We love our listeners down
in Saint George. Yes, we do big news in Saint George.
Come March thirteenth, there will be a second costco opening
up in Saint Jordan's.

Speaker 1 (01:18:22):
They're moving on up. They're like the Jefferson's moving on
up to the big time.

Speaker 6 (01:18:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
The Tribune today did a big story of Saint George
is on the cusp of being a two costco town.

Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
Yeah. I think they're almost the size of Weaver County
at this point. Real, but thinking about they couldn't be
physically further away from the capital city. We'll have that
type of strong population. It's a it's quite impressive, and
they do it right there. They're totally conservative.

Speaker 2 (01:18:47):
Big debut March thirteenth. It's in the south end of
the valley or of Saint George area, just off Ive
fifteen second Cosco.

Speaker 1 (01:18:55):
I tell you what I think. I'm here all the
time to get when they put that airport, when they
relocate the airport from that little great postage stamp on
the top of that mount that plateau of that mountain
out west, I thought this may as well be Mars, Like,
why would you ever do anything out here?

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
It's packed now coming, it's coming, all right? That does
it for us tonight, head up, shoulders back. Then, God
