Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We know what's going on in LA We're going to
check in and talk about the National Guard. It's not common,
but it's not unprecedented. We'll talk to Tanya Jay from
Fox here in a moment. But they are protesting in
Columbus starting Tonight's going to be a busy week for
law enforcement and protesters in central Ohio. Over a dozen

(00:20):
protests to oppose the immigration crackdowns. So a lot of
local these are all left leaning immigration support groups are
going to be gathering, including Ohio fifty to fifty one.
I'm not really familiar with any of these. Most of
these Ohio Immigrant Alliance, the Party for Socialism and Liberation Columbus,

(00:42):
the Lraza Movement, and the Columbus Democratic Socialists of America.
I wonder what their monthly meeting is like. I wonder
if they're, you know, got a little dish to pass.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Everyone's allowed to speak for the same amount of time
as long as they wish from the same but it's
the same.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
They've got a hot dish to I mean, they are
socialists after all, They're all gonna uh sure. So that's
tonight at six o'clock City Hall is when these demonstrations
will be taking place. And look, and I mentioned earlier,
I will support your right to protest. It is guaranteed
by the First Amendment, as long as that's all you

(01:18):
do is you can march, and you can chant, and
you can hold your signs and all of that, but
you cannot cross the line and get physical or violent
if you want to, or and the whole spitting on
law enforcement, that's just grow just there's something incredibly disrespectful.
I would almost rather take a brick, you know, those

(01:39):
guys that were in body then get spit on in
the face.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
That's just one that's just gross.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
But if you want to, if you want to know
what zip tie, getting tased, zip tied and thrown in
the back of a paddywagon downtown Columbus feels like, then yeah,
go spit on a cop.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
So but peacefully protest.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Hey, knock yourself out, do it to your heart's content,
but just don't get violent. And we'll talk to local
law enforcement tomorrow and get a perspective from them. All
right over on the Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone line,
let's welcome in Tanny J.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Powers from Fox News. Tanya, good morning.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
I appreciate the time so we see the National Guard's
been deployed in Los Angeles. Doesn't happen very often, but
it is not unprecedented.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
What do you have, Yeah, it's.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Not You're exactly right. You've got the two thousand National
Guard troops who were initially deployed by President Trump, not
at the request of California's governor, as they have made
very plain with a lawsuit pushing back on this deployment.
But also you've got another two thousand National Guard troops
along with seven hundred Marines that have now been ordered
by President Trump to go to Los Angeles as well.

(02:48):
The National Guard deployments, like you said, they are usually
done as the request of a governor. The National Guard
is interesting because it's distinctive. It serves under both states
and federal commands. Normally, what we see the National Guard
called up to to respond to our state level emergencies
like natural disasters, domestic events, you know, most of the

(03:13):
you know, things like that also include you know, the
protests that we've seen in the past. Summer of twenty
twenty after the murder of George Floyd, we've got a
lot of protests, a lot of National Guard troops were
called up to help with protests and you know, keeping order.
They were called up during the pandemic to do different things.
You know. Like I said, sometimes they are not called

(03:36):
up because the governor has asked for this. We saw
this back in the sixties when the President Eisenhower, Kennedy,
and Johnson federalized the National Guard under Title ten to
enforce the expansion of civil rights and ensure public order.
So those governors did not necessarily want that to be done,
and they did it anyway because they said, you know, look,

(03:56):
the desegregation of schools is is an important thing to do. Also,
the National Guard was called into federal service for the
settlements Montgomery March.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
In nineteen sixty five.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
There was there was There's been a lot of different,
you know instances where we've seen troops called up to
help on a statewide level. Most of those just involved
the governor asking for it or deploying their troops.
