0:59
there is so much that we need to talk about today on wig Band Wednesday.
1:03
Oh welcome, ladies and gentlemen. If we waited five more minutes,
1:06
OR'd be five more stories breaking on the wire to actually cover in this one
1:11
limited show. Yeah, we have three hours of this today and we are
1:15
jam packed. There is so much greg to talk about today. There really
1:19
is. Like we we have our show in them, we have our little pre production meeting in the morning. Yeah, well it doesn't look anything like
1:23
it. Yeah, which you didn't participate in today, But that's fine.
1:26
That's fine. If you want to ignore some fine fine, particularly by text.
1:30
You have other priorities. I submitted many pithy and important articles. Sir,
1:36
Yeah, I know. Hey, guess what what my voice is back?
1:38
Yeah? You know, yeah, I finally came home. So I'm listening to your show yesterday. Go ahead and tell me what you told me.
1:42
Yeah. I walk in here, and with all the caring and concern
1:47
that a good friend would have, I said, what is up with your
1:49
voice? I mean, Mickey Mouse was hosting this show last yesterday. I
1:53
mean it was just hey, I just thought, you know, you overdid
1:57
it. I just pushed yourself. I squeaked till a bit, a little
2:00
bit. Yeah, every word today I sound like to me more No,
2:04
I think you sound more like you get the bury. Well, I've got
2:06
the barrier. It's here. It's a little bas deep enough to be buried.
2:09
But you know what, you you are so committed to this program.
2:12
I thought you pushed it after that surgery. You didn't. You came back
2:14
to early. But today I would concur that you sound better. Does the
2:17
boys come home? I think it's come back. That's good. Well,
2:21
Wednesday with Rod Arquette and it is Greg Hughes and we have got a lot
2:24
to do in three hours. We're here like we are every week. To
2:28
solve problems here in Utah and stays doing pretty well for the most I mean,
2:31
we've got to state we're doing to call them out, and then we'll
2:35
call them out in the state, the country, the world, all of
2:38
it. We kind of leave the world behind for a little bit because we
2:42
got so much here to deal with. It's true sometimes you know Israel doesn't
2:46
know how I mean, Israel Gaza. We got to sort that out. That's our job. That's a tough Ukraine and Russia, we got to work
2:51
there. That's a tough. One story today is panguage and the damn down
2:55
in pain. That's scary stuff. Now you have I have a personal experience
3:00
with damns breaking, yes, and so like I grew up in Pittsburgh where
3:02
there was the Jonestown Was it Jonestown? Uh? Damn that broke and it
3:08
wiped out a whole community, and you had an experience. I was pretty
3:14
scared. I was in Rexburg, Idaho, in June of nineteen seventy six.
3:16
Te Ton damn broke. I lost everything, in everything. I mean
3:21
I lost my car and I lost my car, I mean I lost everything. I heard you were standing on a roof. I was standing on a
3:25
roof in downtown Rexburg as the waters came through, and you had some company,
3:30
a woman I think it was married. Yeah, so she was pretty. So maybe that maybe that, you know, maybe that's a good thing.
3:35
Maybe they're fraz Maybe fee brought us together. It has a strange way.
3:39
But let me tell you. Let me tell you in Penguins now,
3:42
didn't you. There's a story that they don't think it will breach, right,
3:45
no breaking, just right before we came on the show. Again, this is why this show is so timely, right before the show, right
3:50
before the show began, eight minutes exactly before. They do not believe it.
3:54
They don't believe a breach is likely at this point. They've made some
3:58
they've let they released water. They they've moved the ice away from the dam
4:01
where it was expanding and there was some problems. They don't think that a
4:04
breach is likely, but there has been damage. Yeah. Yeah, So
4:09
folks down there pay attention to what the officials are saying. Be prepared.
4:13
You know, it does sound like it's maybe as dangerous as it could be,
4:15
but you just never know. I mean, water does what it wants
4:17
to do. Greg, There's nothing you can do about water. If it's
4:21
ready to go, it's going by the way. Go look at the Grand
4:24
Canyon and I'll tell you what water time. Okay, that start out as
4:27
a little creek. Yeah, okay, very very very good point. Well,
4:30
just a caution, word of caution. We're with you folks down there in panguage. Hang on, that's Great's country. He knows those people down
4:35
there, they like, that's liberty Land. That's liberty Land, as he
4:39
describes it. So pay attention to that. Inflation today, here we go
4:43
again, Greg, three point five percent today the market dropped like five hundred
4:47
points or the last time I checked is closed now. But Joe Biden's out
4:51
there saying we're winning. We're winning on inflation. And did you know that
4:56
as inflation continues to go up, which means interest rates aren't going to come
4:59
down time soon. Nope, there was a prediction today, Greg, they
5:02
may go up again. I'll tell you I don't. Well, they aren't
5:04
slowing it down if inflation keeps going up. And remember, folks, we've
5:09
talked about this. It isn't it isn't a static number. Does it go
5:12
up or down. It's just adding every quarter. And you see that number
5:15
go up. It's like gaining weight. It's you get heavier and heavier that
5:17
that dollar shrinks more and more and more. So three and a half percent
5:21
in this last report here. It's devastating to the everyday people. But if
5:26
you're a Democrat, you've got you've got a new term for this, and
5:30
that is money dysmorphia. See, you're doing really, really well. You
5:33
just don't know it. You have money dysmorphia. You are confused, You've
5:38
just been online too much. You've you've seen you're just trying to compare yourself.
5:42
Folks, this is a great Bidenomics is working famously. You just don't
5:46
appreciate it because you have money dysmorphia. Yeah, well today, I don't
5:49
know about you. I filled up on Monday, four sixty in the gallon.
5:51
Yeah, I'm moreth of four bucks a gallon. And I'm telling you,
5:55
I got to break out my I did this Biden stickers for the gas
5:59
tank suits station much. I think I still have a few. I have
6:01
a few of those. All Right, We're gonna talk about that a little bit. Donald Trump and the abortion law. We'll talk to a candidate for
6:08
the US Senate here in the state of Utah. Carolyn Fippin is going to
6:11
join us later on in this show because she agreed with what Donald Trump stand
6:15
is on abortion. And today he came out and slammed that roling from the
6:17
Arizona Supreme Court on abortion, going back to what an eighteen sixty four law
6:23
which completely outlaws abortion, and he said, that's wrong, that's going too
6:26
far. So Carolyn Pippin, she's worked for Center Leae, she worked in
6:29
my office when I was speaking of the House. She's the only female in the race for Senate, and so she got some local attention on that issue.
6:34
And so I think, because we like to make sure that people are
6:39
quoted accurately or accurately reflected, it'll be important to get her take live on
6:44
the program in the next hour. Yeah, the House is killed the FISA bill, it's done. But I know you want to weigh in on this.
6:50
This is just crazy. Yeah, And folks like, let's not you
6:55
pop the quarks on the champagne bottles just yet, because this is a procedural
6:59
block. Take my word for it. These elitists, the big government,
7:04
the ones that have weaponized these agencies against us, they are not finished with
7:09
this issue, and they are going to try and argue with a straight face
7:12
that our lives depend on them passing this thing so they can without warrant surveil
7:16
us as Americans. I want to get into that because I think I am
7:20
the critical issue. They're trying to put another nail in the constitutional coffin greg
7:25
by doing this. Unfortunately, some brave Republicans today said, no, we're
7:29
doing it. I mean, we are a majority in the House. How is it the Democrats are the minority in the Senate and they can get whatever
7:33
they want because they can pull some Democrat Republicans over in the Senate to get
7:36
what they want, and then we're the majority in the House. Albeit slim.
7:41
Yeah, but you know all they have to do. They just pulled
7:43
the Democrats, just pull over Republicans to get what they want over there too.
7:46
The majority doesn't matter. It just matters whether you're a Democrat. Yeah,
7:48
that's true. We're on talk also very near and dear to our heart,
7:53
selection and integrity. We've got stories here in Utah and around the country.
7:56
We'll talk about that. And word today is the NHL maybe coming to
8:00
Salt Lake City. There's a story out today sources close. Say, we
8:05
could have a decision in a week if the Arizona Coyotes moved to Salt Lake
8:07
City. Yeah, they had some financial trouble down there. And I'm a
8:11
big hockey fan. Yeah, I am too. Pittsburgh are my team. Yeah, and I'm a Canadians fan really well yeah yeah, I grew up
8:18
not far from Montreal. Come on, they are the greatest franchise in the
8:22
NHL has ever known from Canada. From Canada. Wow, yeah, yeah,
8:24
Wow. This is an American show. I know it is an American
8:28
show, but you know, I like American teams, Rod, do you?
8:31
Yeah? Is there a team not in America that you like? You should be good? You were from Upper State, New York, you should
8:37
be Buffalo Sabers. No, they didn't come around till, you know,
8:39
a long, long time ago. So we got a lot to get to. But the story of the day, well, one of the stories of
8:43
the day, and we just outlined a lot of them today. Joe Biden,
8:48
let's see, three and a half years in office, seven point two
8:52
million people have come into this country illegally, and now he's saying, you
8:56
know, we're going to examine if I can do something to stop it.
8:58
It's just political passion. What an offense. Our listeners and the American people
9:05
are smarter than this. Joe, Yeah, yeah, Joe. Well, Joe was on one of the Spanish language stations last night. He did an
9:11
interview and he was asked about what he's going to do as president with an
9:16
executive order. Listen to this. Have you made a final decision on taking
9:20
executive order in terms of what do you want to do the border? That
9:24
includes the power to shut down the border, as it was suggested, Well,
9:28
it suggested that we're examining whether or not I have that power. I
9:31
would have that power under the legislation when the border has over five hundred thousand
9:37
people said five thousand people a day trying to cross the border because you can't
9:41
manage to slow it up. There's no guarantee that I have that power all
9:48
by myself without legislation, and some suggests that I should just go ahead and
9:54
try it, and if I get shut down by the court, I get
9:56
shut down by the court. But we're trying to work through them. Here's
10:01
the problem in this country today, Greg, and you and I talked about
10:03
this before. Will you quit examining things, will quit setting up commissions to
10:11
study things and just do it. And it's such a he's such a fraud.
10:15
Because the US Supreme Court said you can't pay off these student debts.
10:18
He does that anyway. I mean, he doesn't even have to wait for
10:22
the courts to rule, because he'll just do what he wants even after they've ruled. And and the fact is the Majorcius impeachment, which should absolutely happen
10:30
in the Senate and has only not happened in American history if the person that
10:33
was impeached was not in office or was dead, so that that that impeachment
10:37
hearing in the Senate ought to happen. Is not about what LAWJI didn't create
10:41
to stop this four million a year coming across illegally. It's you have failed
10:46
to enforce the laws on the books that would stop this. Today Biden has
10:50
that administration has all the laws that they need to stop that crisis. That
10:54
insanity. He just doesn't do it. Mike Le has said that time and time again and again. May Orchist before a House committee today he got grilled
11:01
again and guess what he finally admitted, Greg This will shock you. May
11:05
Ork has admitted we have a crisis. I do understand the challenges at the
11:07
border, and I certainly don't dance around them. As a matter of fact.
11:11
Would you call it a crisis, Yes, I wouldn't as a matter of fact type. I work every single day with the men and women in
11:16
the Department of Homeland Security just only strengthen the security of our southern border as
11:22
well as a northern border. He called it a crisis. He had to
11:26
be, he had to be put on the spot, but he called it
11:30
a crisis. Amazing. Yeah, he's he has been so resolute that it
11:35
is not and that they have been doing everything in their power and everything's fine here, folks, nothing to see here. Move along. Well, there's
11:41
a lot to you know why, Greg, Because the immigration issue, along
11:48
with the economy will not go away as a top issue for voters right now,
11:52
and the administration is doing nothing to address either one of them. Will you think four million people a year is the pace? How in the world
11:58
does any American, any anyone in a blue state, red state, big
12:03
city, small city, not feel the negative consequences. Everybody's feeling it,
12:07
and he's going to feel it because of this. He sure is all right, more coming up. We're all talking about conservative women coming out of the
12:13
closet. Really love that. We'll talk about that very interesting article that's coming
12:18
up here on Wingman Wednesday. All right, welcome back. It is a
12:31
beautiful Wednesday on the outside. Boy, I love this weapon, don't you.
12:35
I love this. I'm wearing my golf shirt, my Master's or green
12:41
golf shirt masters. No, it's not a bucket list of mind. Yeah,
12:46
mine too, Mine too. I'm driving in this morning, beautiful day.
12:50
I don't think we realize great sometimes, how beautiful our mountain. Yeah,
12:56
that's right, you know you. I drive it in this morning.
12:58
I've looked over their coverage, no captive, and it's just a beautiful day.
13:01
I had a nephew from Pittsburgh coming visit last week and he couldn't stop
13:07
raving about her mountains, and you do you take I start to not see
13:09
them as as well. But it is unbelievable to see earth that high up
13:13
in the sky. It's if you're not from here, you're not used to
13:18
seeing trees and dirt and rocks way way up there. People come here and
13:22
say, you just realize how beautiful an area you live in? And I
13:26
think sometimes we don't take advantage of it. Well, I'm looking at the
13:30
cars in front of me. They're like not going on the green because they're
13:33
looking at their phone. Yeah, we probably should be doing that as well. Pay attention. All right, a survey today. We hope to be
13:39
talking with the president of this organization here in just a minute, but a
13:41
survey has found that young women in this country today. I found this fascinating.
13:46
Greg hold conservative beliefs, but they hide them. You had a great
13:52
you had a great theory on this. Why are they hiding them? In
13:56
fact they are. So here's what I think. I don't I I would
14:00
honestly say that these issues and we'll get into it when we talk to the
14:03
author of this piece. But if you're talking about issues about what is it?
14:09
These were the percentages. Seventy nine percent of women think that stay at
14:13
home mom is an equal endeavor in life as being a professional. Seventy four
14:18
percent of those polled who are not identifying as Republicans I think that a child
14:22
should be able to go to the school of their choice. Seventy one percent
14:26
of posed gender surgeries for minors sixty eight planned to be married by the time
14:30
and have at least one child by the time they're thirty. They sixty four
14:33
percent think cultural hookups are harmful, and sixty two percent opposed men competing in
14:37
women's sports. Those are percentages Rod that I would say, not long ago,
14:43
would not have been conservative positions, but common sense, just a common
14:46
sense position. These weren't even positions not long ago. These were just facts.
14:52
You boys don't play girls sports. That isn't a political position, that's
14:56
just the rules, common sense. We're not going to chemically cast eight kids.
15:00
Yeah, that's not a conservative position. That's common sense. That's common
15:03
sense. I mean, every one of these, every one of these that
15:07
are now identifying as conservative, it's because the Democrats and these elitists left us.
15:11
They have abandoned the everyday American and so now we're stuck. Not stuck,
15:16
but this is why they they're more conservative now, because the Democrats have
15:20
abandoned people at large. In my mind, yeah, they have. Well,
15:24
we've got our guest on the show now. Her name is Kimberlee Beg. She is president of the Claire Booth Loose Center for Conservative Women. They
15:31
did this survey and Kimberly is joining us on our newsmaker line Kimberlee, Welcome
15:35
to Wingman Wednesday with Roder Kidd and Greg Hughes. Great to have you on.
15:39
Thanks for joining us, Kimberly, Thanks so much for having me on.
15:41
Kimberly, let me ask you your number one takeaway from this study that
15:46
your organization did. What is it? Our number one takeaway is that young
15:52
women are more conservative than the media would have us believe. This is despite
15:58
consuming tons of leftist content on social media and throughout school, throughout their young
16:04
lives. So, Kimberly, you really lay out the case of how this
16:10
happens. It starts through K through eight school. You know, maybe teachers
16:14
don't realize it, but built into our curriculum. And I think we're seeing this more and more now there is a left of center and a leftist agenda
16:19
going on higher education no better, and now sixty percent of college students or
16:23
women, and then women tend to study more disciplines that are dominated by the
16:29
left, like education. Women study psychology, things like that, and then
16:33
the social media and how that influences people, and they are, by statistics,
16:37
are watching and observing getting their news from social media more than men by
16:41
a percentage. I guess that's a great case to make. But how are
16:45
they staving off all those variables you just described, which I think would would
16:49
end up making them liberal. How are they holding such conservative values in spite
16:56
of all of those things that you described that they're living through. Well,
17:00
I think a lot of it comes down to the fact that, you know,
17:03
who women are just very naturally. You know, we are nurturers.
17:08
Our bodies are made to become mothers. It is just an innate part of
17:12
what it means to be a woman. It has always been a part of
17:17
the woman experience. It is just fascinating to know that throughout all of these
17:23
years of education and the indoctrination and everything on social media, that young women
17:29
still want to have children and get married. You know, a whole sixty
17:33
eight percent of them actually want to be married with at least one child by
17:38
the time they are thirty. This is extraordinary because a young woman can go
17:44
through all years of elementary and high school education and college education without a single
17:52
mentor advising her to choose a career path that makes sense for family life,
17:56
or advising her to find a suitable husband, and that this is the path
18:03
to happiness, and yet women still want this. Why is that. I
18:07
think it's because innately, it is a part of the human heart, it
18:11
is a part of the human experience, and it's a part of what it
18:14
has always meant to be a woman, despite the left trying to redefine what
18:18
it is to be a woman today. Kimberly, before you came on the
18:22
show, I think Greg made a great observation and I hate to pat him
18:25
on the back, lets you know one, but he pointed out many of
18:29
these issues that are considered conservative today really are just common sense issues anymore,
18:36
but the media has tried to portray them as conservative issues. I mean,
18:40
for these women, many of these issues that you survey, aren't they just
18:42
common sense issues? They are And that is such a fantastic point. Let
18:48
me tell you why. Because only twenty percent of the women and our survey
18:52
self identified as conservative, thirty two percent of them self identified as liberal,
18:59
and twenty seven percent self identified as moderate, and yet they are identifying with
19:04
the principles that today we would understand to be conservative. I mean the fact
19:10
that women know that men cannot actually be women and that men cannot give birth.
19:15
This is a common sense issue that today we consider to be conservative.
19:21
So my question is the part that caught me off guard, Kimberly, is
19:25
because my mother was a single mother, and my wife is a very strong
19:29
willed person. My daughter, Sophie, my oldest, very strong willed as
19:32
well. In here, you make the argument that women kind of conceal these
19:36
core beliefs because they don't want to offend and they don't want to create conflict.
19:40
This memo has not been shared with my wife. This has not been shared with my daughter, Sophie. I have lots of women in my life
19:47
that are more than happy to share with me where they are on an issue.
19:49
But tell me about to explain this a little bit more about the where
19:53
women don't want to be confrontational and how that plays into where they fit in
19:59
the world by way of politics, policy, and culture. I suspect that
20:03
one of the reasons that your wife feels as confident, as uncomfortable as she
20:08
does sharing her conservative beliefs with others is because of you and because of the
20:14
people she surrounds herself with. So that is really even The bigger takeaway is
20:18
that women need to know that they have a support system. They need mentors,
20:23
and they need like minded peers because all the studies have always shown that
20:30
women feel more pressure to conform to a group than men do. And so
20:36
I think that this study confirms you know, all the other studies that have
20:41
found that because women, you know who are we as women, we value
20:44
our relationships, We value our family, our friends. All human beings are
20:48
a real relational but women especially, we feel this bond of friendship. We
20:55
don't generally like to offend people, we generally don't like to create conflent.
21:00
So I think that your observation about your wife is a very, very wise
21:06
one, and I think you might be the reason that she's as she is.
21:10
Well. I like you, Kimberly, You're so smart. May be on the show every day just to help Greg out and fuel his his growth
21:17
and strength. Kimberly, great chatting with you. Thanks for a few minutes of your time. Wonderful. Thanks so much for having me. Thanks,
21:23
keep up the good work that is Kimberly big. You know when I said
21:26
when we come back, should we take a few I'd like to take a
21:29
few of calls on this. I yes, you know about conservative women.
21:32
We're appealing to conservative women in our audience, young women, Are they afraid
21:36
to say something? Yes? I love that's right now? Hey, when
21:41
we when we put when we put these questions out to our listeners, we
21:44
get men and women that all participate in the calls. And I've not seen
21:47
any wilting violets. I've not heard any at least her last statement, her
21:51
last paragraph in here, I love it says, America's young women are far from lost. They are unrealized, reluctant to offend naturally conservative leaders of a
21:59
freer, more ruous America. They need to know they're not alone? Are
22:03
they alone? Are our listeners? Are they afraid to offend? Are they
22:06
ready to have they been reluctant to speak up? Eight yeah eight eight eight
22:11
five seven eight zero one zero triple eight five seven o eight zero one zero,
22:15
or on our cell phone dial pound two fifty and simply say hey,
22:17
Rod And you know, as women in our audience, and we have more
22:21
than a lot of people, realize, right, we have conservative women. Are you reluctant to speak out because you're afraid to offend somebody? Or maybe
22:27
you have a daughter who holds your values, but she's afraid to say something
22:32
eight eight eight five seven O eight zero one zero, or on your cell phone dial pound two fifty and say hey Rod. We call it Wingman Wednesday,
22:45
three hours every Wednesday afternoon as part of the Run Our CATCHO Run Our
22:48
Cat along with citizen Greg Hughes. I think we've proved our point clearly.
22:53
You know we've women are afraid to offend. They have not called in.
22:56
They don't want to call it. The listeners do not want to sound like
23:00
us. No, they just don't want to. They don't want to.
23:03
They don't stick their neck out. They got things to do. They don't want to. They don't want to offend. But I will just I will
23:07
say what Kimberly pointed out that I will give you space. I am a
23:11
safe space to have a conservative opinion. So you're letting women call in,
23:15
Yes, I shouldn't. They shouldn't kill Just like Kimberly said that, my
23:19
wife's conservative and strong opinion because it's because because of me, because of you,
23:25
And I know she agrees with that. Yeah, yeah, I saw that she sent you when that come in was made. She does not Well.
23:32
Phones are open to you if you'd like to join in our conversation today
23:34
eight eight eight five seven o eight zero one zero eight eight eight five seven
23:37
o eight zero one zero. Are on your cell phone dial pound two fifty
23:41
and say hey, Rod. We're following up with this conversation we had about
23:45
young women who have conservative beliefs but they hide them. One of the reasons
23:51
they don't like to offend people. That's it. It's offending people. Is
23:55
common sense offending people greg you know, I know it shouldn't be. And
23:59
but in Utah, I think this extends beyond gender. In the state of
24:03
Utah. I think that there's a higher value on being polite than honesty.
24:08
If if having an honest opinion is a difficult conversation, if that would be
24:12
if that would be a difficult conversation, there's a higher premium on being polite.
24:18
And I grew up in a and they perfect. I grew up in
24:23
where where brutal honesty with the word brutal is a virtue. You can be
24:29
brutally honest, and that is a virtue. And people would chuckle that you
24:33
were brutally honest. But but here so I'm telling you that is not considered
24:41
a virtue in Utah, at least by my observations, and it took me
24:44
literally decades to figure that out. Yeah, yeah, I thought i'd fit
24:47
in perfect I'm I'm the predominant faith. I'm just I'm like a hand in
24:51
glove Utah. Let's say you have a conversation. You want to share honesty
24:56
with somebody, but you're you're afraid it may effec But don't you share that
25:00
honesty with them? Can you do so without offending people? I tell you
25:04
I couldn't be comfortable in my skin not mentioning something, for fear that if
25:10
I didn't challenge a premise or a conversation, if I didn't share at least
25:14
the other side of the story, that they would assume that I agreed with
25:17
them when I know I don't. When I was a little kid, the
25:21
Mormon Pioneers would come up in our history class. When I was a kid, I don't know why, but I felt like morally obligated to raise my
25:26
hands say I'm one of these. And I remember one year the girl in
25:29
front of me, I was a bit of a class clown. I know, you can't imagine that. It's sarcastic in school. I was in middle
25:34
school and I said, you know, I'm one of those more. She
25:37
asked, are there any more these Mormons left? These pioneers? And I
25:40
tapped her on the shore and said, hey, I'm one. She said, it's a serious question. Greg, quit mocking me. It's a serious
25:45
question. She didn't believe me. She woun't believe me. All right,
25:48
we are getting now. We do have some women or willing to step up
25:52
and share their opinion. Let's go to the false. Let's talk with Wendy
25:55
in Utah County tonight here on Wingman Wednesday. Hi, Wendy, how are
25:57
you, gentlemen? Mama Bear no, grandma, Grandma Bear. Oh I
26:07
love it when you call to Greg A couple of years ago. Yes, I remember, yeah, Grandma Bear. Yeah, and it was like two
26:14
years ago. Anyway. I have seven children, four of them are daughters,
26:19
and along with myself, I have taught my daughters you stand up for
26:22
yourself no matter what. And two of them are very reluctant. That's the
26:27
forty three year old, okay, and the second one that's the forty year
26:32
old. But the twenty five year old, no, she will speak her
26:34
mind. And oh yeah, because Mama Bear taught him. And the I
26:41
was like, oh, how is she now, oh my god, thirty
26:45
seven Holy crap, that time goes by fast time. Yeah, I my
26:51
thirty seven year old, you better walk out because she learns from the best.
26:56
And I don't care if I offend anybody. I will stand up up
27:00
for what's right and I will say something. And that's what happened in McDonald's
27:04
in Iowa. A mother was yelling at her child really bad, and the
27:11
way she was yelling at her was way wrong. And I stepped up and
27:15
I said, excuse me, but you do not treat your child like that.
27:18
You do not call her dumb, do not call stupid. Yeah.
27:25
So, yeah, I have children that will stand up. All right,
27:27
Wendy, thank you. I'm not surprised that Mama Bear. Mama Bear stepped
27:30
up. Now we've bested more colors, we don't break. We want to
27:33
get back to these callers because people do have on the lines lines We want
27:37
to we want to hear from our listeners. The women in this audience,
27:41
I do not think are afraid. They aren't. So more on Wigman Wednesday
27:44
coming up. All right, welcome back to Wigman Wednesday here on Talk Radio
27:53
one oh five nine kN rs. Brought our kid along. With citizen Greg
27:56
Hughes, and we are taking your calls today on young women who hold conservative
28:02
values, own common sense values, to give more common sense values and conservative
28:06
values, but they tend to hide them. Yes, is that true?
28:11
Let's find out. Let's go to our callers. Let's go to Ogden and
28:14
talk to Zane here on Wingman Wednesday. Zaane, how are you welcome to
28:18
the show. I'm doing good, Rod, how are you? I'm doing
28:22
great? Thank you? Zaane? What are your thoughts on this? So?
28:25
I'm my fiance is twenty five, and she's to the point of where
28:30
politics are such so easily to offend that she doesn't even like talking about politics.
28:37
And she's currently going to school to become a therapist, but she brings
28:41
up points in her therapy classes to me where she's like, I don't really
28:45
feel like I should be this is how I should approach things like the whole
28:49
gender identity disorder where you yeah, yeah that. So they're in her classes,
28:57
they're trying to push like, oh, you to see if this is
29:00
an issue, and she's like, no, I feel like that's such a
29:03
rare issue that for to induce the child into becoming a different gender is just
29:10
wrong. I don't agree with it, but she's afraid to talk about those
29:15
views openly. And the only reason why she's comfortable with it with me is
29:18
she knows my opinion on that is very strong. SAME's a living example of
29:23
that of that of the story and the article. That's when we go to
29:27
education, and shouldn't we be able to express our opinions and debate them And
29:33
I'll be afraid to bring it up greg well, especially in higher education. And by the way, like at least ten percent of the women identify getting
29:40
a worse score or having being harmed in their studies as one of the reasons
29:44
belief belief. Tanya is an orum tonight here on Wingman Wednesday. Tanya,
29:48
how are you? Thanks for joining us. I'm good, Thanks. I
29:53
do have a thought about this is just that I feel like, especially in
29:57
kind of I wasn't born and here, but I've lived here for like twenty
30:00
five years, so I've raised my family here, and I and my neighbors,
30:04
my friends. I feel in the culture, the LDS culture, which
30:07
is a huge part obviously in Utah. I mean, we're just taught to
30:11
love one another, We're taught to be sweet, and friendly and kind,
30:15
and that just and I think so much is when you start to talk to
30:18
somebody about politics, which is so divisive, then immediately if someone is on
30:23
the opposite side and goes at you, then we're all like, oh,
30:26
oh, okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll be quiet.
30:29
I think most of the voices on the left are are the liberal voices
30:33
are. There's just I mean, there's bad people, maybe on both sides,
30:36
but I just feel like they're vicious. And it's like, I have
30:40
five kids and two jobs, and trying to talk to somebody almost you know,
30:45
or talk to them about politics is almost like having a third jobs.
30:47
So I can't even engage unless I'm ready to sit there and just get on
30:49
my phone, and the whole day goes by it and I'm like, I've
30:52
had one conversation going down a rabbit hole with somebody who I think is you
30:56
know, off their rocker and can't see reason, and I'm like, I
31:00
can't, I can't do this, I can't do this. I gotta work.
31:02
You do have to work. And I think I think I think she's
31:04
right. The prevailing religion here in this state, you know, be nice
31:08
to each other. It is why can't you be nice and honest at the
31:11
same time. I do. I think there is something about the passive aggressiveness,
31:17
specifically in the in Utah culture. And I look, I understand,
31:22
you know, being polite is important, but I think being honest is as
31:26
well. Let's get another called Sharon is Morger County tonight here on wing Man
31:30
Wednesday. Hi Sharon, how are you hey? I'm doing well. I
31:34
just wanted to say that, you know, like the previous lady said,
31:40
when you express your feelings, like on Facebook or any other social media,
31:48
people attack you that don't even know you. I mean, strangers all of
31:52
a sudden, you know, are attacking you. And so it's a little
31:56
bit hard that way. When I'm person to person, I'm fine with defending
32:00
my belief, but when it's there and there are just several people on you,
32:07
it's really hard. Sharon, You're so right, and how come it
32:09
never works both ways? I mean, we got a call a listener that
32:14
that that messaged in and said, there's that liberal women are so strident and
32:16
mean and they will attack and attack here even here in Utah, and conservative
32:22
women don't want to be in that cat in that camp. And and to
32:25
the point that Sharon has made, if you bring out an opinion that would
32:30
be considered today not common sense but right conservative, and you're going to get
32:35
attacked all day on it, then what's the point. But how come the other left can be the attacker and there's nothing unseemly or untoward about that.
32:42
I've got an idea. I think this show becomes should become a sanctuary radio
32:47
show. This is a sanctuary radio station for conservative and common sense thought.
32:52
We may challenge you, we may ask them honest questions about you, but
32:54
it's sanctuary. It's safe for you. It's safe to have common sense.
32:59
And this program just say you know, absolutely yeah, and that's an interesting
33:02
thought. And you're right. I mean, you know, if you go
33:06
on and I don't go on social media a lot because you do get attacked.
33:08
I know you love it. You chew it up. It's positive social
33:12
proofing. Right, you're making a difference. It makes a difference. But
33:15
it's gonna be interesting. Good good colts, good comments. All right,
33:19
thank you, abortion. We'll talk to a member of once be a US
33:23
senatorout this issue. Donald Trump layd in on the Arizona ruling today as well,
33:28
and we'll share that with you. Coming up two voices together to save
33:34
Utah and the US. It's three compelling hours of analysis, debates and laughter.
33:40
Wing Man Wednesday with run Our Kent and Drake Hughes Now on utass Talk
33:46
Radio one oh five nine KNRS. All right, check you with my Wingman.
34:09
I'm all said to go. You ready to launch, Let's go.
34:12
We've got your back. You know, we're on the We're on the deck
34:15
of the aircraft carrier. You're the pilot. We're nag off about to shoot
34:19
off. I actually think they called the guy in the end of the shooter.
34:22
Really. I think that's what they do on the aircraft carriers. He's
34:25
the one who gives them that you go. He's called the shooter. I
34:30
think that's what they're called, isn't that. I'm the guy said, I'm
34:32
goose, I'm behind you, I'm the navigator. I'm actually telling you where
34:36
to go, what you do every minute, every day. Rights, it's
34:42
meant to be. All right, Welcome back. It is Wingman Wednesday here
34:45
on Utah's Talk Radio one oh five nine k n R as live everywhere on
34:47
the iHeartRadio app brought our cat along with he's the wingman. I am,
34:52
yeah, I'm Maverick. We're flying today. Well, guess what the issue
34:58
of the week so far has been. There are a lot of issues that
35:00
we've talked about today, but the media, of course and the Democrats are
35:02
all jumping on top of Donald Trump and his announcement on what was it Monday
35:07
that he did not support a national ban on abortion, but he did support
35:12
states having a right to decide what to do. Yes, And I concur
35:16
with you in that position, and I think he's correct. I said,
35:20
that's the Supreme Court. And then yesterday you have the Arizona Supreme Court issuing
35:23
a ruling that a is it eighteen sixty four ban, almost a complete ban
35:29
on abortion in Arizona is still the law of the land, and people are
35:31
going crazy about it today. They are. And there's all I mean,
35:35
this is where conservative Democrats set these things up perfectly. They if they can
35:38
create circular firing squads amongst Republicans and people that are right up center, please
35:44
do because they don't have a thing to stand on. So if they can get Republicans fighting amongst themselves, that's their best case scenario. And this issue
35:51
does bring that out and people. You see a lot of pro life advocates
35:53
that are excited about the Arizona ruling. They think that's the appropriate way to
35:58
do it. You have a lot of Republicans said, do not think that
36:00
that's okay, that's a problem. I think Donald Trump shares that that that
36:06
is too prohibitive. Yeah, you have Lindsay Graham who wants a federal fifteen
36:09
week ban. Why you'd never want to get in that federal game. Leave
36:14
it to the states, the basis for Robie Wade being thrown out. Well.
36:19
Joining us on our Newsmaker line now is Carolyn Fippen Karen Carolyn. Of
36:22
course, as a candidate for the US sentence here in the state of Utah,
36:24
she has an opinion on this is weighed in on this. Carolyn.
36:28
How are you welcome to Wingman Wednesday with Rod and Greg. Hey, Yeah,
36:32
I'm doing great. Thanks for having me tonight. How are you both?
36:36
We are doing well, Carolyn. Carolyn, your reaction to the events
36:38
of the last two or three days with the president's come in or the former
36:42
president's come in on abortion, that ruling coming out of Arizona yesterday, what's
36:45
your reaction to all of this, Carolyn, Yeah, no. I am
36:50
thrilled that Donald Trump came out and said what he said on Monday, because
36:53
do you remember maybe a month or so ago, he was kind of playing
36:58
with that idea of fifteen week national ban. That would not be good for
37:04
a whole host of reasons. I'd love to talk about them, but the
37:06
fact of the matter is Utah has a great law in place. It was
37:09
put in place before the overturning of ROVERSUS weight. It's being held up in
37:14
the courts, but we should absolutely allow the states to make these decisions,
37:19
and for a lot of reasons, that is the best way to move forward
37:22
on this issue. Tough question, but one that's relevant right now. Carolyn.
37:27
You're the only female Senate a candidate, and so you've gotten some attention
37:30
locally on this issue of abortion because it's one that Democrats want to really make
37:34
one of their key issues. Your voice in this debate, I think is
37:37
pretty important. The Arizona ruling where all abortions that the law, this older
37:44
law applies and so it does have the effect, i'm told, prohibiting on
37:49
abortion in any case. How do you feel about that? Here's the thing
37:53
for me. But we are at a place and I'll tell you. I'm
37:59
going to walk you through some of how I got where I am on this issue because a lot of national pro life organizations were actually in support of this
38:07
fifteen week band. Mike Lee is not, and a number of the pro
38:10
life groups locally here in Utah are not, And so I spent a lot
38:15
of time last fall. I spent a lot of time talking to Michaeley and
38:20
some of these groups and saying, walk me through why you're where you are.
38:22
When we have a constitutional provision that the federal government should has the role
38:29
of the protection of life right and we have to face the fact that decades
38:34
of roversus wade have had an impact on our culture, and I care about
38:40
us moving toward a more constitutional place and a place that actually saves more babies
38:45
lives and does the right thing morally and societally. And the way to accomplish
38:52
that, I'm fully convinced is to you pull too hard, we will end
38:58
up with I say, abortion through birth federally, and I think even at
39:02
the state level, in a state like Arizona, that's a risky play.
39:07
I think that we want to ensure that we're doing it in a way where
39:12
the people being brought along and the people are supportive of the laws that are
39:15
paths that are moving in the right direction. Otherwise, like I said,
39:20
we're going to end up with such a backlash that we lose control. And
39:23
the Democrats would love nothing more than abortion till birth, and I don't think
39:29
any of us are on board with that. No, I don't think Carolyn. Can we, even though, find compromise on this such a divisive issue,
39:36
and you know for women in particular, this is a very difficult issue
39:40
for women. I mean, can you find any compromise? Is there any
39:44
compromised path out there on this issue for Republicans? And well, we know
39:47
what the Democrats want, you know, like you just described it, Is
39:51
there a compromise that people can live with or agree with. I think the
39:57
compromise is exactly what we have right now in the state of Utah, and
40:00
that is there is abortion is not legal except for if the mother's life is
40:08
at risk, rape or incest. And the fact of the matter is,
40:12
I've talked to medical professionals and very few people tell me that there are ever
40:16
any times that you actually have to murder a baby in the womb, in
40:21
order to preserve the life of the mother, you may have to deliver early.
40:24
That's far different from what an abortion is. And so I think that
40:30
when you provide these exceptions for those who are in a really difficult, conflicted
40:36
personal situation, I think you've done what you need to do. What we
40:40
have currently is, after again decades of row versus ways, we have a
40:45
lot of people who are using abortion as birth control, and we have to
40:50
get back to a place where our nation culturally recognizes that this is life and
40:57
we must have a respect for life, because the more we tear down that
41:00
barrier where we are accepting the meaninglessness of life, it just proceeds to greater
41:07
and greater evils. I mean, take a look at what's happening in I
41:12
think the UK as well as in Canada for sure, where right you have
41:15
a mental health difficulty or autism, you can just come in and get a
41:21
taxpayer funded suicide. And this lack of appreciation for life is dangerous and it
41:28
really is a hill that the West is sliding toward. We need to start
41:32
pulling it back. We're speaking with Carolyn Fipp and she's a candidate for a
41:36
US Senate, only female in the race, not following the Democrat talking points
41:40
as a female on abortion. So she's gotten a little bit of a local
41:44
press on this because it's a unique voice out there. You make a great
41:47
case on stage rights and why Roe v. Wade was even repealed, and
41:52
it puts it back in the state's hands, and it's a government closest to
41:55
the people. You're out on the campaign trail right now, Carolyn, And
41:59
this is the time that I've I loved the interactions in these delegate meetings.
42:01
You get asked hard questions. You got to answer hard questions. Where does
42:07
this issue of abortion, even with the news coming out this week, stack
42:10
up next to the economy and the border and all the other issues that I
42:15
feel like we're confronting all at the same time. Where is how is this
42:19
issue of abortion coming up in your campaign with delegates? It actually is not
42:25
coming up at all in discussions with delegates. I have not had a single
42:30
delegate ask me about this. I have had reporters ask me about it.
42:35
I have no problem. Well, I take that back. I had a
42:38
meeting last Friday with Senator michae Lee and this did come up. So I
42:43
take that back. That was the first question in our event. That's the only time I've been asked that by a delegate. I think it's a great
42:50
discussion to have. But I think for most Utahns, they are those who
42:54
have paid attention to this issue, are satisfied for the time being with where
42:59
the state is, and so it really isn't a big issue to most active
43:04
Republicans, is what I'm finding interesting. Yeah, go ahead, Yeah,
43:09
you bring up the border and the economy. I will tell you those are
43:14
the issues everybody's concerned about. Right We're falling off a cliff as a nation
43:19
when it comes to being able to fund things. We're being overrun at the
43:22
southern border. Those really are the most imminent concerning issues to most people.
43:27
I'm talking to Carolyn. Great chatting with you. I know you've got a
43:29
few weeks to go before the convention. Thanks for your time today. We appreciate it. Thank you, Yeah, thank you so much for us.
43:36
All right, Carolyn Fippin, she is a candidate for the US Senate,
43:38
the only female candidate in that race, as you point out, interesting to
43:42
get her perspective. But you and I both raise their eyes when you ask
43:45
your question about is this an issue that comes up in your town hall meetings?
43:49
No one talks about it? No, And I would bring this up.
43:52
Isn't that something the media would make you think this is the only issue issue? Yeah, I mean the immediate attention. And for again, she's
43:59
not following the the female democrat talking points, and so when she expresses his
44:04
opinions she has heard on the program, they I feel like it's they're trying
44:07
to almost demonize her for these positions. But I think that the utons,
44:12
I think her observation that utons are comfortable with the state law that we have.
44:16
Yeah, I think that's right. And by the way, I'll just
44:20
say, and again, this is one of these issues where democrats ingrain in
44:23
us that US men shouldn't have an opinion on this. I fundamentally do believe
44:28
in human beings right to choose and then live with the consequences, meaning that
44:31
if a woman's a victim of a crime and she was raped, rape,
44:35
or incest, there's some horrific, horrific but important decisions left for that person,
44:39
that woman to make. And I think that if a woman find herself
44:43
losing her life, if she were to have a child. There's a decision point there that wasn't part of the decision tree before. After you get to
44:50
that, we all live with the consequences of the choices we make, and
44:53
and that's that. So I think those exceptions for me personally are absolutely appropriate.
45:09
Welcome back to Wingman Wednesday. Here on Talk Radio one oh five nine
45:14
can r S I am Citizen Hughes along with Broad Arquette. We got you
45:17
know, we had a great interview with can Senate candidate Carolyn fipp In about
45:22
abortion. Interesting that that issue, although the media is making abortion nationally and
45:29
even in Utah, that's the big, big issue for Democrats, right, and they're going after Carolyn on her positions. She's saying that Rod in these
45:36
delegate meetings that are happening in this state right now in preparation for the Republican
45:40
State Convention, it's not coming up. It just is not coming up,
45:45
as you would be led to believe by national and local media. What is
45:49
coming up is this economy. Yeah, this economy and immigration. I've got
45:52
this story, Greg. There was a viral social media video all right about
45:58
a are you ready for this? Twenty five dollars McDonald's meal deal in California.
46:05
It's insane. Yeah, she's a TikTok user. She posts video under
46:09
the user name I won't give it out, but she shared a video just
46:13
a few days ago. She was in a drive through restaurant in southern California,
46:16
McDonald's location there, when she saw a sign for a forty piece chicken
46:21
nugget meal deal, which also included two large fries. The price twenty five
46:25
dollars and thirty nine cents. Yeah, McDonald's, and it's gonna go up,
46:30
and they don't care. Frankly. I mean, you saw what California
46:34
did with their minimum wage for fast food. They're gonna make it twenty dollars
46:37
an hour. What that's going to do is create these kiosks. By the
46:39
way, I hate to say it, they're doing these inconvenience stores. Now.
46:44
I'm all over these kiosks where you just self serve. You just take the little thing, you scan your own stuff, put your card in,
46:49
you leave. You don't have to wait in line. But you don't like
46:51
interacting with people, I don't mind it, but I don't want to stand the line. So I'm just going to this thing. I'm gonna tell you.
46:55
We are gonna be touchless, faceless, conversationless, cash cash lists.
47:00
I mean so yeah, he right, McDonald's and endover they're not so you
47:07
go ahead, politicians. You keep pushing up this so called minimum wage,
47:10
and business if it's going to continue, is gonna have to find a different
47:14
way to you know, crack the code, and it's going to be without people and you're not going to have jobs of any of any amount. Well,
47:20
here are the numbers today from the CPI, and these are frightening.
47:22
Three and a half percent increase. People need to understand that, Greg that's
47:25
three and a half percent on top of the two percent. The three percent,
47:29
I mean, it just keeps growing and things just get pricier and pricier
47:32
every day. So from twenty twenty, if you made one hundred thousand dollars
47:37
a year, folks, in twenty twenty and twenty twenty four, you have to make one hundred and thirty thousand to just break even. To just break
47:44
even, you better have a third more of income than you did four years
47:46
ago, just to have the same buying power you had before Biden took office.
47:52
I don't. And all the while the Democrats will say are you feeling
47:58
that? Does that hard? Does that hurt? You will? And you
48:00
suffer from money dysmorphia. You suffer from money dysmorphia because I don't know if
48:05
you've heard, but Bidenomics is it's the greatest economy we've ever had. If
48:09
you don't like it, here's what's really making the leftists freak out. If
48:15
you take that Morning Joe show on MSNBC and I cannot watch it, but
48:19
I see the ripple effect of that show they had on. So they had
48:23
there's a polster that went and found truly independent voters, fence hitters who are
48:30
in the swing states of Wisconsin and Michigan and what was the other state,
48:36
Pennsylvania? I oh, yeah, Pennsylvanvivaniakay, those three and they asked them.
48:39
They asked them a bunch of questions on abortion. They all think Biden's
48:44
more understanding than Trump. But when they said who would you trust with this
48:49
economy? They had nine people, It was like on a zoom, and
48:53
all nine raised their hand that they trust Donald Trump's appro to the economy and
49:00
they did better than with Biden. And that Micah, whoever's on the mortgage,
49:05
she could not believe her. She couldn't believe it. She was trying to go to a break in a commercial. She had to get off the
49:09
air. She's like, well, what do they like about Biden? And
49:13
and so this focus group they say, Okay, well we kind of think
49:17
he's more in line with us on this, but this economy they go back
49:21
to it. I wouldn't trust him to run it ever again. I mean,
49:24
is it is not a small thing that Biden nomics is just crushing the
49:29
American people in real time? Yeah. But the question I have, Greg, and I think he has the courage, but members of Congress, will
49:35
they have the courage? The number one issue here that I hear economists talk
49:37
about all the time, Greg, when it comes to inflation. Yeah,
49:40
is government spending, government spending, government spending government. Yeah. My question
49:45
is does Donald Trump and Republicans who are elected to Congress, hopefully next year
49:50
or in November, do they have the courage to stop it? They've got
49:53
to, Greg, that's the only way out. Well, I'm gonna give
49:57
you, I believe it, they absolutely do. Two things have to happen.
50:00
First, he's got to win, Okay, and I think that's how hard. That's a high Hills, as bad as Biden is, as bad
50:05
as Biden comics are. I'm going to tell you it's going to be difficult
50:07
to win this race for a myriad of reasons. Okay, some legit,
50:10
some I don't think are legit, But it's going to be hard to win
50:14
this race. If he does, the Democrats will go on full attack.
50:16
I've actually saw the ad already where they're saying, do you know he wants
50:20
to dismantle the government. Oh? Yeah, Well, that's what less federal
50:23
spending will be. He wants to dismantle the government because he's a despot,
50:27
he's a dictator. He wants to he wants to dismantle our federal government.
50:30
So the narratives will be that he is all the evil things they described if
50:36
he tries to shrink or slow down the growth of federal government. So to
50:39
answer your question, we have to be ready for those narratives as American people,
50:44
and we have to reject them outright that when this president gets in and
50:46
hopefully we get people elected to Congress that are serious about this job of actually
50:52
the power of the person doing the constitutional job they're supposed to do, they
50:55
are going to be hit with narratives that they are the worst humans maybe in
51:00
recorded history five thousand years of human recorded history. These coming years, if
51:05
Trump wins, these will be the worst. They will be described as the
51:08
worst people. Well, and that's my question, Greg. Have they got
51:10
the guts to do what needs to be done? It's up to I don't
51:15
know if they do. I mean, this is going to be hard. This is not going to be easy. What are we thirty four trillion dollars
51:20
in debt? Can you can you imagine a president down more resolved to do
51:23
it and ready to take the grief of this media than Donald Trump? Oh
51:27
he didn't care. Yeah. I don't know one person that would that would
51:30
run or be president that could take it better than he can. The people
51:34
we send to Congress and to our centen It's gonna matter. It is absolutely
51:37
gonna matter. For the point you say, do they want to be popular
51:40
because they're not going to be with the media or are they there to get
51:44
that job done and do the right thing because it's it's thirty four trillion in
51:46
counting, and it's and that is not sustainable. You know, I want
51:51
to ask listeners on this, Greg, because I you know, do they have confidence that if Donald Trump gets in, if Congress controls either the Senator,
51:58
House or both, which would be nice. Do you think they have
52:00
the courage to make the the critical steps that need to be taken. I'm
52:04
not confident they do. There's no track record for it. No, No,
52:07
I don't think. Yeah eight eight eight five seven eight zero one zero triple eight five seven o eight zero one zero. Or on your cell phone,
52:13
dial pound two fifty and say hey, rod your calls, your comments coming up here on Wingman Wednesday. Got a nice to have a little Doobie
52:23
Brothers. Bring us back here on Wingman Wednesday. Taking it to the streets,
52:28
Taking it to the streets. Face we're doing here. That's what we
52:30
do every day or every Wednesday on Wingman Wednesday, Rodert, get along with
52:34
Hughes. Now we're talking about the economy. A couple of things on the
52:37
economy today, Greg. People will see this. Donald Trump today shows shows
52:42
up at a Chick fil A. He just walks into a Chick fil A,
52:45
says, how are you Everyboddy? How you know love the restaurant?
52:49
Can I have thirty milkshakes? Yep? And he was sharing, by the
52:52
way, everybody in the Chick fil A was getting a milkshake. He was
52:55
gonna take whatever they didn't take, take the rest way. They got a
52:59
free milk shaking, free chicken. Now. But you know he broke his
53:01
rule. He explained to me why he loved fast food on the go,
53:05
like when he's in Air Force one, we're going to Oh there were pictures
53:07
during the campaign of him any big max all the time, and I said,
53:10
he said, you know what he said, He just he volunteered the
53:14
information. He says, you know why I love McDonald's when we're on Air Force one everything because we can order thirty burgers, we can know everything.
53:20
I know what it's going to taste like, and they don't know who's ordering
53:22
it, so they don't spit my food. As what we said, Well,
53:25
if you walk into Chick fil A, they're going to know it's you're
53:28
ordering it, mister president. So hey, I've got a new name for Bidenomics. Ready for this one? Yeah, lionmics. Yes, they're lying
53:37
to us about this economy. Yep, Bidenomics, bidenflation lionomics, lionymics.
53:44
Yep. Well, consumer prices up another three and a half percent. It
53:49
and every every economist and we'll have hopefully have Steve Moore on tomorrow. They
53:52
always point Greg to federal spending and the size of government and all these programs.
53:57
My question is, Greg, and I want to you know you're to
54:00
this and get callers on this tonight eight eight eight five seven eight zero one
54:04
zero or on your cell phone. Does Donald Trump and Republicans Republicans have the
54:08
guts to make changes in federal spending. I'm not confident they do. So.
54:13
Remember when we had both houses and Bush was in office. I even
54:15
have heard former Congress and Rob Bishop lament that they didn't do what they should
54:20
have done. In hindsight, if you ever had a moment where you would
54:23
have control, if you had if Trump won the White House and you had
54:27
one or both of those the Congress and or Senate, the pressure and the
54:35
criticism because the media has now shown that when they're wrong, they just double
54:38
down. They are not interested if they got it wrong. They're not here
54:42
to say, you know what, we saw this wrong and we're going to
54:44
report accurately. They are going to double down this coming Congress in twenty twenty
54:49
four, whoever wins, if they're Republicans, they are going to be painted
54:52
in the most negative light that you can imagine. They are going to suffer
54:55
from every moral failing imaginable. If you want to government, you want to
55:00
destroy government, you are a despot, You are a dictator. If you
55:04
want to slow down the federal spending. So it's a really good question,
55:08
will these candidates and these people that are running for reelection right now in twenty
55:13
four and those that aren't and they're still there, are they going to do it? It needs to be done. Thirty four trillion in debt and it
55:19
just I mean, it's just not sustainable. We can say that all day,
55:22
but I don't know what they think. The alternative is. Will will
55:25
they be able to make these hard, hard decisions. Well, you know
55:29
what's going to happen. And you alluded to this just a moment ago, Greg Donald Trump gets in office. Let's say he has a program or an
55:35
agency out there and he looks at it and says, it's not doing anything. Why do we have it? Let's cut it. And if it's an
55:39
agency that deals with the poor, deals with minorities, deals with the elderly,
55:45
the media will be all over this like white on Rice. Absolutely,
55:49
you know they will say, look what he's doing. He's leaving these poor
55:52
people abandoned that used to get help from the government. But isn't that what
55:55
needs to be done. I've already seen it. I've already watched this.
55:59
I've watched this happen already. And here's a trick that here's an accounting trick
56:04
that the that the swamp uses. If they were if you were seeing a
56:07
year over year ten percent increase in your budget, Let's say you only saw
56:10
a five percent increase, you were cut five percent, You're cut. So
56:15
if I gain ten pounds, I gain another ten pounds. Now I only gained five pounds. Well, and Washington speak, you lost five pounds.
56:21
No, you didn't lose any twenty five pounds heavy yer than when you started.
56:25
Okay, So even when he slows down the spending, the sky will
56:30
literally be described as falling. And then people want to get reelected. They
56:34
don't want to be painted in that light. Are they going to make those
56:37
hard decisions to stop this this giveaway of money, this printing of money that
56:42
we're seeing right now. I'm not confident they do, Greg. I just
56:45
it's going to take some Cajonis. You're gonna have to make some very very
56:50
difficult decisions out there, but it's got to be done. I mean,
56:53
the government has gotten too big. We are spending way too much money,
56:58
and if we don't stop this. You know who was it? Jamie Diamond
57:02
said the other day, you want to look at World War three. This
57:06
could be World War three if we don't do something about this economy. Yeah.
57:09
So it is hitting the everyday Americans in a way that I don't think
57:14
Washington, even our Republicans appreciate, because when I heard Senator Lee describe why
57:19
he didn't want to start the impeachment process in the Senate towards the latter half
57:23
of this week, it was because he was afraid that senators would smell the
57:28
jet fumes, leaning that they would want to go home. Well, I'll
57:31
tell you what, if you had a Republican to impeach, there's no Democrat
57:35
that would be smelling jet fumes. They'd be there on a Sunday ready to do their job to impeach him. The idea that any Republican would smell the
57:42
jet fumes or want to go home rather than hold Secretary of my Orcus accountable
57:46
or make the hard decisions. I mean, that's an easier decision than what
57:50
we're talking about in terms of slowing down federal spending. If you're not,
57:53
if you're convinced to do otherwise, then they're not feeling the urgency of this.
58:00
Well, if nothing is done, Greg, then why are we going through this process? If nothing's being done, why why are we going through
58:05
this election process? We're all put new people in. They're going to change
58:07
Washington if nothing is done. No, they haven't. Well, I think
58:10
everybody's aspirational. They always are in campaign season, they always are. But
58:16
can they get it done? Can they do it? I I'll tell you
58:20
what when I see this, This what I see on Morning Joe nine nine
58:25
independent voters, and they're all race color, creed age. This is this
58:30
is a true this is a true focus group. And I'm looking at a
58:34
picture where every single one of their hands are up raising that picture that they
58:38
trusted Trump economy over a Biden economy. You know what you got to You
58:43
gotta do what you're saying you're going to do because people are going to put
58:45
their faith in that. And like I said, it's going to be hard for him to win for a myriad of reasons. But if he wins,
58:51
boy, we better It's it's time to turn this ship around. People are
58:54
going to be looking at him for sure. All right, more of your
58:57
calls and comments coming up on this. Do you have faith that are elected
59:00
officials will have the guts to go back to Washington after the November election and
59:05
start making the changes in federal spending and the size of government if in fact
59:07
they are elected. Eighty eight eight five seven eight zero one zero, or
59:12
on your cell phone, ut pound two fifty and say hey, Rod,
59:23
all right, welcome back to Wingman Wednesday with Rod R. Kennon instead of
59:28
in Greg Hughes. We're taking your calls right now. Inflation went encouraging again,
59:31
three and a half percent. This fun. Everybody says, it's government
59:35
spending, the size of government. We've got to reduce it. We've got to cut it back in order to get this under control. But the question
59:40
we have for you today, Greg, is so the politicians have the guts
59:45
to do it? Yeah? Has lion onmics as you as you aptly put
59:52
so, we saw the praise that you received for your great new coined phrase.
59:57
Is it enough to really steal the resolve not just the people that absolutely
1:00:00
know they're being harmed, but those they send the Congress and hopefully to the
1:00:06
White House. Well, they get the job done. Let's see. Let's go to Stephen Layton tonight here on the Rodder Ketchu with wing Men Wednesday.
1:00:12
Hi, Steve, how are you pretty good? How you doing? We're
1:00:15
doing well. Your thoughts on this, Steve? Got to get rid of
1:00:20
the rhinos. Yep, they basically what we need. We're going to need
1:00:25
at least probably fifteen vote margin in the Senate, probably thirty to forty votes
1:00:31
lead in the House so we can override the rhinos. Yeah, that's true,
1:00:36
Steve, you're spot on. You got to get rid of the rhinos. Let's go to Forest in Bluffdale tonight. You're on wing Men Wednesday,
1:00:40
Forest weigh in on this. What do you think, Well, the only
1:00:45
problem with this is that if you cut spending or you increase taxes, it
1:00:52
cuts into GDP growth. No politician wants to actually pull the trigger on that
1:00:58
because government spending figured into GDP growth, So we don't want to cut it
1:01:02
because of GDP growth. Is that what you're saying, Forrest, is that
1:01:06
what's going to happen. Well, I don't. I do. I hopefully
1:01:09
want to cut it. But the problem is you cut half a trillion dollars
1:01:15
off and that's how much comes off of your GDP. Yeah, so no
1:01:20
politician wants to be like, oh, yeah, I managed to put us
1:01:22
into a recession. Yeah, the GDP growth isn't serving us. I mean,
1:01:30
I Forest isn't advocating for that. He's saying this is the this is
1:01:32
the precision tree that they're going to confront is if you slow it down,
1:01:37
you could do that. Well, look, gross domestic product, Yeah,
1:01:39
I get some real products out there. You can't be printing money and pretending
1:01:43
that that's your gross domestric product. And even if it does, uh, you risk these inflations, these recession factors. You'll never convince me that more
1:01:51
jobs, more more, uh, you know, manufacturing all those things we
1:01:54
actually need in this country is gonna he's gonna harm the well, government,
1:02:00
we've got to grow real growth. You can't call government growth growth, can
1:02:04
you. That's not that's not real growth. Let's go to Scott and Herriman.
1:02:07
He wants to weigh in on this tonight as well. Scott, how are you thanks for joining us good. I believe that the Republicans are going
1:02:14
to do the exact same thing that they did if he becomes president. When
1:02:16
Paul Ryan was the Speaker of the House, they didn't support him. And
1:02:21
if you want proof of it, go back to what they just did and
1:02:23
promise that they would do with the budget. They wouldn't even go with Mike
1:02:27
Lee's continuing resolution for three weeks to see what was in the bill. They're
1:02:30
as bad as Nancy Pelosi. That's fine. They're not sad to say,
1:02:35
I love our callers, our callers, they don't even have confidence in our
1:02:38
own politics. But they're right. I mean, that was that was a
1:02:42
really good point. It really is that even Speaker Johnson and I had so
1:02:45
much confidence and the excitement about he's he was ready to reauthorize that Faiza,
1:02:51
the warrantless surveillance of Americans. I mean, again, you want to start,
1:02:57
if you think things are if you think there's national security problems, close
1:03:00
the border, yeah, okay, before you before you start looking at emails
1:03:02
and text and everything else, how about stopping them from coming in. I
1:03:06
mean, I am so disappointed in Congress's leadership. It goes back to what
1:03:10
Steve said about rhinos. If you're if you're the Democrats, you don't have
1:03:15
to be in the majority in that Senate, in our house. All you have to do is pull over Republicans to join you. So you're the You're
1:03:21
you're the majority by one in the Senate. Pull some Republicans over, you
1:03:23
can get your bills done. You're the minority in the Congress, pull some
1:03:27
Republicans over, you can get your job done. It's just a good life
1:03:30
to be a Democrat with these with these particular Republicans that are out there.
1:03:34
It's a very stupid question to ask, because I know you're going to laugh
1:03:37
at me when I ask it, But why are Democrats at times able to
1:03:39
pull over Republicans on their side, but Republicans can never seem to do it.
1:03:44
My answer to that is. My answer to that is that the Democrats
1:03:47
have the media machine, the regime media, who makes heroes out of every
1:03:52
single one of them and turns public opinion, or the fear that they turn public opinion against the Republicans if they are seen to be shutting down the government.
1:03:59
We can't be seen to be doing that. So it's amazing, all
1:04:02

1:07:18
blow. I mean what I mean, they just really dealt a blow to
1:07:23
Speaker Johnson because there were what about nineteen of them who stood up and said,
1:07:27
you know, reauthorization of this FISA bill ain't gonna happen. Too many
1:07:30
problems. So look this, this FISA bill, this SPIZA authorization is the
1:07:36
where you do not need a warrant and you can surveil American citizens. And
1:07:41
we don't worry that this has been abused. We know for a fact that
1:07:45
it has been abused. And Donald tell you, yeah, I asked Donald Trump, yes, and his members of his campaigns to have asked Carter Page.
1:07:51
The issue I have is those weren't That's the only, the only time
1:07:56
it's ever been abused. When you find that's on a silver bullet, you
1:07:59
see by it happens so frequently, it is abused so readily that it finally
1:08:03
hits us, the American people where we are, we get to see these
1:08:06
details. People are really excited that the bill, by a procedural vote on
1:08:12
how it would be debated, was killed today. Do not breathe a sigh
1:08:15
of relief, folks, because there are too many people in the deep state
1:08:18
that will need this and want this FISA authorization to spy on Americans and everyone.
1:08:24
You know, it's meant for terrorists, but they're not giving up.
1:08:28
So as it is right now, it's not moving forward. But I don't
1:08:31
think it's I don't think it's seen its last leg. Now it's scheduled to
1:08:34
expire if it's not reauthorized. But I just want to frame for our listeners
1:08:38
what we're really talking about here. You have some real manipulation I think going
1:08:43
on right now in the press. You have the FBI head Christopher Ray,
1:08:45
who today today delivered remarks saying that we have increasing concern about a terrorist threat
1:08:53
that is sent to try and make people worried, but we better just do
1:08:56
this visa because we don't want a terrorist threat. Do you remember when the
1:09:00
Biden administration got kicked kicked up and start going. President Biden said the worst
1:09:04
threat to Americans, the most existential threat, were these domestic terrorists who what
1:09:11
go to church, own guns, question the twenty twenty outcome of the election,
1:09:15
and and oh don't like the curriculum or have a problem with the curriculum
1:09:19
in the public schools that day had text for the same thing. I think
1:09:23
he said the same thing. So there, what happened to those terrorists?
1:09:26
Yeah? Now, I will say this if you if this is true,
1:09:30
if this rhetoric, and this is and I don't actually even question that we
1:09:32
are under a war threat of a terrorist event today than we were before Biden
1:09:36
took office. I actually believe that's true. But before you go trample and
1:09:41
continue to trample on our civil liberties, go down to that border and stop
1:09:45
them from coming in. Okay, they're coming in. Forget their emails,
1:09:48
forget their texts, forget their their traffic online, Go get them, stop
1:09:54
them from coming in. I'm watching sixty minutes, which is no conservative television
1:09:58
show with upper middle class chin these people with their TikTok apps strolling across the
1:10:02
border with the border patrol with a recorded Mandarin Chinese instruction, welcome, have
1:10:08
at it. Go find an ICE ICE office and register that you're seeking asylum.
1:10:12
Good luck, God bless. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding
1:10:15
me? If you cared one wit, Christopher Ray, if any of these
1:10:18
members of Congress cared about our national security and a terrorist threat, get down
1:10:23
on that border and stop four million people a year from coming in. But
1:10:27
they don't. But they got to come in and do this and surveil us
1:10:30
without warrants. Please. Yeah, I just I think it's such. They
1:10:34
created their own crisis to further flex their control over us. Yeah, well,
1:10:41
I think it was. The New York Post yesterday Greg described this as
1:10:44
another nail in the constitutional coffin. Yes, yeah, that's exactly what this
1:10:48
is. And the other issue, you know, you talked about the border.
1:10:50
The other issue is politicians would be given an exemption on here. If
1:10:55
you're in Congress, if you're in the center of the House, you'd be
1:10:58
given an exemption. This is Thomas Messy, one of the leaders in an
1:11:01
effort to stop this Kentucky apologuess. Let's say him explain what this would do
1:11:06
politically motivated search. So if you, if you're a member of Congress,
1:11:11
you'll be notified if you're the target of a politically motivated search. Oh,
1:11:15
by the way, you can be one of the six non voting delegates from
1:11:17
Guan Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands to Washington, d c. Et cetera.
1:11:23
But if you're not in that four hundred and thirty that club of four
1:11:27
hundred and thirty five plus one hundred plus six extra who get to come along,
1:11:30
they don't get to vote, but they get this special protection. Have
1:11:33
I left anybody out? Presidential candidates get protected? Do they get notified?
1:11:42
Again, it's a different, different provision that that's not in this bill.
1:11:45
I can send you the oion. So the new thing that's in this bill,
1:11:48
the novel concept, is to give every senator in every US rep sort
1:11:54
of a special notification if they've been targeted. Is that true term political bias?
1:12:00
You know? So the the politicians get notified that they've been targeted,
1:12:05
but the average American is notified not at all at all. And in the
1:12:09
in the direct language of the bill, the Director of the Federal Bureau of
1:12:12
Investigation shall promptly notify appropriate Congressional leadership of any query conducted by the Federal Bureau
1:12:17
of Investigation using a query term that has recently believed to have the name or
1:12:21
identity of a member of Congress. Let me just tell you this, okay.
1:12:26
And by the way, there's only like eight of them that they get
1:12:28
to tell this to. But to exclude members of Congress from this intrusion of
1:12:33
your of your privacy and your civil liberties, to try and get the bill
1:12:36
passed, you know we can hear you. Okay, you know you know
1:12:41
you said that out loud. Okay, thank goodness. We have Congress in
1:12:44
MASSI that's actually getting this guy. He's like, you know what about cants. Well, that's another part of the bill. I got an idea.
1:12:48
We'll bring that part of the bill in. Okay, why don't we talk
1:12:50
about the whole thing. The whole thing is, we don't want to be
1:12:54
surveilled, and if you care about our national security, do something with that
1:12:58
border something, because that can't happen that four million people a year, and
1:13:02
people from Iran and from China and from every enemy of the state that we
1:13:05
have walking across unabated, and then you're gonna tell me you have to go
1:13:10
and surveil us. Yeah, come on, Yeah, we get our listeners
1:13:15
and American people can hear this and they're laughing out loud, not laughing,
1:13:17
probably crying. But this is a farce. Yeah. Well, and that's
1:13:21
why you need to listen to Mike Lee. We have Mike Lee on yesterday.
1:13:25
Mike understands that's probably better than anybody else, especially when it comes to
1:13:28
the issues of constitutional questions, and he just laid it out. He said,
1:13:31
look, you cannot spy on the American people, and that's what these
1:13:35
guys are trying to do. His line yesterday. I was listening there.
1:13:39
He says. The debate and compromise on surveilling Americans was settled in seventeen ninety
1:13:45
one. There you go, okay, there you go, there you go.
1:13:48
There. We actually had this debate as a country. We had our
1:13:51
members of Congress debate. We had a built we have a Bill of Rights,
1:13:54
we have productions, we have repetations against this And here's what you have
1:13:58
to remember. Less than one year ago, folks, less than one year ago, we got the Durham Report. Does anyone remember the Durham FBI report
1:14:05
three hundred pages that said that at the FBI, this who you want to
1:14:10
continue to give this kind of authorization to used raw, unanalyzed, uncorroborated,
1:14:15
uncorroborated intelligence to launch a formal investigation crossfire hurricane against against President Trump looking into
1:14:24
Trump in Russia. But the Special Council noted that they did not use the
1:14:30
same standards when they looked into intelligence they received about the Hillary Clinton campaign and
1:14:34
it's and it's looking into into election interference because what they were doing, they
1:14:43
received intelligence that she was going to try and tie through misinformation a connection between
1:14:48
Putin and Trump to draw attention away from her misuse of classified information on a
1:14:54
private email. They got, they got, they got intel on that.
1:14:57
Well, they went through a comple deletely different standard of whether that was real
1:15:01
proof if they had anything to go forward on, and they applied a much
1:15:06
much higher standard. Imagine that. Okay, So it says that neither the
1:15:12
US law enforcement or intelligence community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion
1:15:16
in their holdings. At the commencement of Crossfire Hurricane, folks, Carter Page
1:15:23
was the victim of this fake Phiza by the way, they said, you
1:15:25
know, they only found one minor conviction. Oh it was a PHIZA warrant
1:15:28
where they missed. They were they misrepresented. And carter Page, the Trump
1:15:31
uh campaign worker, was the guy they surveilled. That's not minor, Okay.
1:15:36
And so it's so you're telling me there's a double standard. Yes,
1:15:41
And and John Durham's report from less than a year ago, it lays it
1:15:44
all out there for us to see why you'd read that report and want to
1:15:47
vote for FIZA. You'd have to walk me through that. All right,
1:15:50
Mark coming up on Wingman Wednesday, right here on Utah's Talk. Right,
1:15:54
he'll one oh five nine can orist, all right, welcome back to Wingman
1:16:13
Wednesday. Here on Utah's Talk. Rady on one oh five nine k n Rs rod our Quat along with citizen Hughes. Okay, I've got a little
1:16:18
secret I want. I want to share this with you. I don't want
1:16:20
to shock you or our listeners read to me all the time. This is
1:16:25
you're going to be Okay, Donald Trump interacts with black black people. Yes,
1:16:30
yes, I'm glad you and I'm bringing this up because of what he
1:16:33
did today. You know, we're just watching during the break this. It's
1:16:38
so much fun to see President Trump interacting with everyday people because he relates with
1:16:42
every day people and they love him, and the media never wants to show
1:16:45
it. A comment was made, you can't fake what you're seeing when he
1:16:48
goes in there and he orders thirty shakes. Okay, he went by the
1:16:51
way. He went into a chick fil A today in Atlanta. Yes,
1:16:54
and you know, people working there, they all lined up behind the counter,
1:16:58
smiles, they're ready to greet the they're all black. And he comes
1:17:01
in and does what he orders thirty shapes, and they want to take their
1:17:04
picture with it. So here's here's the thing. The employees that that and
1:17:08
the patrons of this Chick fil A all just swarm him as much as a
1:17:12
secret service will let him. But they're taking pictures or laughing. It's all
1:17:14
it's it's all upside. The thing. The reason why the regime media will
1:17:17
never let you see that moment is that their identity politics does not align with
1:17:23
that moment that happened today, meaning if you're of color, you should hate
1:17:28
President Trump and he is supposed to hate you. And there and nowhere in
1:17:30
between, can you go There isn't anything that the regime media and the left
1:17:34
are telling us about President Trump or about the electorate that you see in that.
1:17:40
In that visit to the Chick fil A today, you're seeing human interaction,
1:17:43
You're seeing excitement, you're seeing discussions. It's it's it's organic. And
1:17:47
then you see Weekend at Bernie's, President Biden at a at a kitchen table
1:17:53
on YouTube. Something they scripted with a bunch of people talking, I play
1:17:56
basketball, you play basketball? Oh? Other is really good. It just
1:18:00
looks like a bunch of robots at the table. They have to stage this.
1:18:03
They had a demistration has to stage this. So they bring Jill and
1:18:08
Joe into a kitchen. They sit down with the black family and they're having
1:18:12
dinner and they stage that. Trump walks into a Chick fil a says,
1:18:15
hey, how are you let's have thirty milk shakes? And why do you
1:18:17
pick that one? He says, he just says it. He says, a member of our club owns this Chick fil a. And he's always raved
1:18:24
about it. I want to come, I want to come see it. And so he shows up, he shows up, and everybody goes crazy.
1:18:30
Everyone loves it. I'm telling you that is real. That is real.
1:18:33
It is genuine, and I and I hope we see more of the president
1:18:35
that way. Here here's another example of it. What was it a couple
1:18:39
of weeks ago, a couple of Thursday nights ago. Here's Biden holding his
1:18:42
big gale in New York. Twenty five million dollars raised, right, big
1:18:45
record. What's Donald Trump doing going to a wake for a fallen police officer
1:18:48
who was gunned down? That's real America, that is and you know and
1:18:54
so, and make no mistake, the media is saying he's doing that because
1:18:57
he can't raise money. He raised forty three million. Yeah, a couple
1:19:00
of weeks later, but he went and put the priority of that fallen officer first. Yeah, well, you were a mare a logo helping him where
1:19:04
he's have money. I wish you showed pictures. I approved that you were
1:19:12
there. I want to golf there. That's what I want to do.
1:19:15
Of course, you and I, You and I we need the golf. Golf you're friends with the Donald, call the guy. You know what.
1:19:19
I don't know if you know this, slaves and gentlemen, But there's a major announcement today in the media world. Like they have their own life,
1:19:25
they have like an industry publication. I know that this is kind of inside
1:19:29
baseball. But they go and they find the one hundred most influential and powerful
1:19:35
radio talk show hosts in America. And you would expect the number one like
1:19:40
a Sean Hannity, And you'd expect the the Buck Sexton and Klay Travis Show,
1:19:44
and and and and uh and Glenn Back to be up there in the
1:19:46
top five. Roderkat is listed top one hundred. You were on there and
1:19:51
that's the second year in a row. And and so you're you are considered
1:19:56
amongst the most powerful in the country. So I think we can get a
1:19:59
tea times. What I'm saying, do you think this all lands to us
1:20:02
getting a tea time? So we just called the Donald, yes, and
1:20:04
we say, hey, look, one of the top talk show hosts in
1:20:06
the country wants to come play golf at your absolutely And he called me when
1:20:11
you weren't here. Remember that you have to rub that rubbed that president had
1:20:15
worked so hard to get one of those. So great. It was on
1:20:18
vacation and you get a call from the Donald. I did. It was
1:20:21
it was amazing timing. But he was very nice and got along well with
1:20:26
e Ray, which had a conversation. Yeah, he kept just shooting the
1:20:30
breeze with Eray while I was waiting to get on the air with him. But he's totally I'm convinced he's going to get let us on. We're gonna
1:20:34
bring good tea time at the at the Florida at lag I wonder if you
1:20:41
ever thought what it's like to play golf with him. He's good. I've
1:20:44
seen him is good. No, he's good. His swing is a bit compact, it's a little weird, but it's he hits the ball straight.
1:20:49
He's good and he can sink a putt. Yeah, I'm telling you.
1:20:53
I know they only shade the highlights, but the guy plays. He knows
1:20:55
how to play well. Rush used to play with them all the time,
1:20:57
and Rush was a pretty good. Yes, he was from what I understand,
1:21:00
And I'm better than you, but I'm not good, so I you know, I don't know. I don't know where that puts me. Should
1:21:04
I share with the audience, you and me on a golf course one time
1:21:09
I share this story. I don't know what we're you don't know what one's
1:21:12
coming up? Right? Not with D? Right? Yeah it was with
1:21:15
D. We're down in St. George. But where were we were at Kenyon Cove cove what do they call that? Oh, Coral Canyon? Right,
1:21:20
So we're down there plane okay, and I'm out driving mister Hughes on
1:21:25
almost every hole. He absolutely hates this I do. So he out drives
1:21:30
me on a hole by about fifteen yards at least at least so he takes
1:21:34
a picture of this, a video of it and post it. Yes social
1:21:39
media, look at Drove Road or cat. I think that. I think
1:21:43
what I said was, I think they're planning a Walmart uh development between my
1:21:46
ball and yours off to this teeth. I think that's what I said to
1:21:49
be accurate. But yeah, no, yeah, it's But we should definitely
1:21:54
get on mar logo. I think the President will let us doun sometimes you
1:21:58
bring the listeners with us, We'll show sometime we should invite a few listeners
1:22:00
to come play with us. We should. That would be entertaining. They
1:22:03
are the smart listeners. They have to be a they have to be patient
1:22:06
listeners to play well the way you go, because we're always looking for your
1:22:10
lost ball out there or something. I mean, can't get anything done on
1:22:14
play golf with you. But that was very nice. Thank you for the
1:22:16
recognition. It's two years in a row, top one hundred. Yes,
1:22:19
our situation, and it's the audience. The audience we like you've said,
1:22:24
Greg, what you call them the smartest audience out there? Yep, the
1:22:26
smartest audience and all the land. I've been waiting for the Jeopardy contest with
1:22:30
radio audiences because our listeners would would wipe the board with any listening audience in
1:22:34
America easily without even thinking twice. Yeah, all right. When we come
1:22:38
back here on the final half hour Wingman Wednesday, we're poored out today.
1:22:42
It's showing more and more voters are shifting to the Republican Party. Yes,
1:22:45

1:22:48
And another survey says we aren't as divided as we think we are. Would
1:22:53

1:23:47
I'm just gonna say, isn't he like ten feet tall? No?
1:23:50
Well, yeah, he's tall. He's six foot eight maybe seven. He's
1:23:55
tall. He ran for Congress at least or twice. I think it was
1:23:58
in Gabby Gifford's district. Yes, down in Arizona, wasn't it. Yep.
1:24:01
Oh, I enjoy his commentary. Sometimes he's a little too negative for
1:24:04
me, Like I'm an optimist, and sometimes he gets he can't find it.
1:24:10
Well, he can find it. He can find a loss in anything.
1:24:12
But we got to find some wins out here. And so but I
1:24:15
do, I really do enjoy his comments. All Right, A couple of stories. There's a story out today and you and I were looking at this
1:24:19
story. The Pew Research Center has done a study and it's showing greg more
1:24:24
voters are shifting to the Republican Party and now closing the gap with Democrats.
1:24:29
I mean, it's pretty that's an amazing shift that's taking place. And you
1:24:33
know, the theory is, I think there are some here we go again,
1:24:36
common sense, fair minded Americans in the middle who are now seeing the
1:24:41
light of day. So you know it's serious. When the New York Times
1:24:44
is reporting this news, amen to that. Yeah. So they're saying, and this is a New York Times, So this is the enemies the regime
1:24:50
media is and you know we're intercepting their communications. Yes, the commence Jess
1:24:55
Keller would accurately put, they're saying more voters shift to Republican Party using the
1:25:00
gap with Democrats in twenty twenty election, more voters across the country identified as
1:25:04
Democrats. Four years later, that gap has shrunk. Now it sits almost
1:25:10
evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans. Now that that's a significant For this reason,
1:25:14
Rod think, or one of the reasons. Every time you saw a poll, and Trump never let a single poll in twenty sixteen or in twenty
1:25:20
twenty, they did what they call waiting. They would wait the poll with
1:25:25
self identified Democrats because more people identified as Democrats and likely voters identified as Democrats,
1:25:30
so they would take their sampling for the poll and put more Democrats into
1:25:33
that number. And even when they did that, you saw Trump win in
1:25:39
sixteen and get more votes than anyone had ever gotten except for Biden, seventy
1:25:43
six million or seventy four million instead of the sixty five million, which is
1:25:45
a high mark in prior past elections. Now that it's fifty to fifty,
1:25:51
you can't wait those polls that way, and you're starting to see you're seeing
1:25:56
Trump show up ahead in the polls really for the first time. Yeah.
1:26:00
Interesting. There's a quote from the director of research Therapew. She said this.
1:26:04
She said, the Democratic and Republican parties have always been very different demographically,
1:26:10
but now they are more different than ever. And I would agree with
1:26:13
that because Greg of the progressive lurch of the Democratic Party, I mean,
1:26:18
they are you and I were. You asked me, you know, what
1:26:21
was your dad's party affiliation growing up a Democrat? My dad was a Truman
1:26:26
and Kennedy Democrat, a labor Democrat. He wouldn't be today. All the
1:26:30
family I grew up around, they were they belonged to unions, and they
1:26:34
were Democrats, and it was just kind of the way it was. But
1:26:38
the working class voter, the working class voter right now is migrating to the
1:26:41
Republican Party. I would argue for positions of common sense things that used to
1:26:45
be. Again, boys playing girl sports was not our old school Democrat relatives
1:26:50
would have not thought that was an issue. They'd laughed at that. Yeah,
1:26:54
why chemically castrating kids, That's that's not a political issue. That's not
1:26:58
you just don't do that. You name it. Those issues that the Democrats
1:27:01
have abandoned the American people. And what you're seeing is that the working class
1:27:05
voters, by the admission of the New York Times, is migrating to Republican
1:27:11
However, there's always a silver lining for them. They give hope to their
1:27:15
liberal readers because they're the elites. They're certainly not the working class. They're
1:27:19
not the boy They're saying that that's a shrinking demographic because they're getting old,
1:27:26
older, and you know, people don't really work like that anymore, you
1:27:29
know, so that that working class is kind of a waging class. Wait
1:27:32
a minut, I don't get that story, because The Times yesterday or two
1:27:35
days ago said baby boomers could be saving Joe Biden. Yeah well folk,
1:27:42
yeah, well yeah. This admits that the catches that the white working class
1:27:45
voters are slowly declining as a share of registered voters. So the Republican strategy
1:27:50
of relying heavily on this group may not be sustainable in the long term.
1:27:55
Now they do, they do try to chill the migration of the black vote
1:28:00
and Hispanic vote to Republicans and to Trump, which is actually really significant.
1:28:04
You've actually had guests on the program that they have pointed to this this real
1:28:10
shift that's happening. The New York Times tries to downplay that part. That
1:28:14
is one that I think you're going to see in this election. As you
1:28:16
saw in the last election, a stronger minority vote for Trump. Last in
1:28:23
twenty twenty, it was the largest minority vote for Republican candidate for president since
1:28:26
Eisenhower. You'll see that number eclipsed in the twenty four race, which I
1:28:30
think is also very significant. And there's a story somewhere in my stack. It's tough today, Greg, that shows that the Biden administration has almost given
1:28:36
up on the Hispanic vote. I mean, he yesterday appeared, they did
1:28:40
a one hour show with him on Univision or one where he said, you
1:28:43
know, hey, we're examining now illegal immigration. What I can do about
1:28:46
it? A yeah? But you know, I think the Hispanic vote in
1:28:50
this country, and we think of it always as a monolithic block that they
1:28:54
all vote the same. No, they don't, Greg, I mean there
1:28:57
are different issues within Blacks with Hispanics, within lights with an Asians, you
1:29:01
name it, right, Greg, They're right, They're all there. They
1:29:04
are different. So to single amount and say well they're all going to vote
1:29:08
for Trump, No, there, we understand that. But if we can
1:29:11
make inroads into that, that's a signal. Those are significant percentages. Once
1:29:15
you get into the double digits of some of these voting blocks that have that
1:29:17
the Democrats have dominated for generations. Uh, it does shift the politics for
1:29:24
sure, Yeah, it does. All right, more coming up it is
1:29:27
Wingman Wednesday right here on Utah's Talk Radio one oh five nine. Can rice?
1:29:30

1:30:11

1:30:14
and some of these segments, So you're gonna want to hear it again, or if you didn't hear it the first time, you're gonna want to go
1:30:18
revisit it. Yeah. Yeah, epic is right. Story today in axios
1:30:23
imagine this Greg wild thought. As they wrote, they said, what if
1:30:27
we've been deceived into thinking we're more divided, more dysfunctional, and more defeated
1:30:32
than we actually are. Are we There's only one version of that scenario I
1:30:39
would accept, and that is that common sense is more prevalent than the Democrats
1:30:44
would like it to be, because if we are united, it's over some
1:30:46
real, fundamental and important issues that right now it seems like Republicans are the
1:30:50
only ones advocating for. I would love for it to be the American people
1:30:54
are advocating for. Yeah. Yeah, well the people. Axios took a
1:30:58
look at things and here's what they found out. No, most Christians are
1:31:01
not white nationalists. Imagine that white Christian nationalists who see Donald Trump as a
1:31:09
godlike figure. Most are ignoring politics and wrestling with their faith. Yeah,
1:31:14
would you agree? Yeah? I think people are. I think that the
1:31:16
Deep States no longer deep. I think it's right up in our face now.
1:31:19
I think that even if you didn't want to delve into politics or be
1:31:23
involved, I think it's involving you. You're being pulled into this, whether
1:31:27
you like it or not. So I think politics are playing a greater role
1:31:30
in our conversations and what our awareness of current events but I do think that
1:31:36
people are trying to do the best they can for their family, for themselves,
1:31:40
for their household, and there is a lot of common ground and overlap
1:31:43
when you think of it that way. Yeah. Yeah, here's another one. No, most college professors aren't trying to silence conservatives or turn kids into
1:31:50
liberal activists. Most are just teaching math, physics, or biology. No,
1:31:55
I totally yeah, I'm with you on that one. The our institutions
1:32:00
of higher education have become a breeding ground for left of center thought, and
1:32:04
they have no tolerance, by the way, for the right. They really
1:32:08
don't. There is no diversity of thought in our institutions. I hire learning
1:32:12
as far as I've been able to. Well, what a past survey show
1:32:14
that is percent of college and university professors are Democrats and maybe five or ten
1:32:20
percent of conservatives. You want to know why, because those that can't teach,
1:32:25
Okay, those that can, they go to work, They get a
1:32:27
job, they go to the they go get tenure at a school. If
1:32:30
they can't do it, they want to teach it to talk about it. Here's another way. No, most kids don't hate Israel and run around chanting
1:32:39
from river to the sea. On most campuses. Most of the time,
1:32:42
students are doing what students have always done in mess learning. I think there's
1:32:45
a fringe there, Yeah, I do. Yeah, I do too.
1:32:48
I think that that anti Semitism is not prevalent amongst college students. Yeah,
1:32:54
I would love to I do think that's the case. But we see the
1:32:57
fringe in the media pays most attention to. Yeah, this is what we've
1:33:00
talked about today, Greg. No, most Republicans don't want to abandon all
1:33:04
abortions starting a contra a conception. No, most Democrats don't want to allow
1:33:10
them until birth. All agree with the first part. They disagree with the
1:33:13
second part. Democrats abortion at any com we don't care. Yeah. Well,
1:33:16
Democrats help me realize that they have no end to it. Because you
1:33:19
had that governor from Virginia, Democrat governor that was a physician who he said,
1:33:27
you could you could deliver a full term baby all but its head and
1:33:30
abort it and that would be called a partial birth abortion. That's in fantaside.
1:33:33
So I I do think Democrats don't have us at an end of what's
1:33:39
I think they could take a two year old at some point and call it
1:33:41
abortion. Yeah, yeah, another one. No Democrats or I'm sorry,
1:33:46
immigrants who are here illegally aren't rushing to vote and commit crimes. Actual date
1:33:51
is show both rarely happened, even amid a genuine crisis at the border.
1:33:57
I think that I think that the way you get across a border right now
1:34:00
is through cartels, and I think you are beholden to those cartels and to
1:34:03
pay off whatever debt you acquired to get across with those cartels. So I
1:34:08
think you got mules. I think you have human and drug trafficking happening at
1:34:12
a very dangerous level. There's a bad segment with them there. There's still
1:34:15
out about it. You might have well intentioned people, but they have a debt. Yeah. The other thing that's going on is those illegals who are
1:34:20
coming into the country illegally, of course, are taking part time jobs from
1:34:24
the American people. You know, they are bragged that the unemployment number or
1:34:28
the employment numbers were up. The analysis has shown a lot of that has
1:34:31
gone to part time jobs and some Americans greg are having to take pint time
1:34:35
jobs just to make a living anymore. They have a full time job,
1:34:39
now they take them part time. Such a negative consequence to working the working
1:34:43
class of our country. And then remember this, anybody that comes here illegally,
1:34:46
they're committing identity theft of some sort to be able to keep their job.
1:34:50
Yeah. Yeah, No, most people don't fight on X. Turns
1:34:54
out a vast majority of Americans never tweeted at all. I don't tweet a
1:34:58
lot. I don't either, but I watch it. I think. I
1:35:00
think Elon Musk has given us one platform other than like truth and some of
1:35:04
those other ones. But of the major ones, I think Instagram has its
1:35:08
liberal algorithms. You've got YouTube with its liberal algorithms. Facebook liberal algorithms.
1:35:14
X I think is trying to be a lot more freedom of speech conscious.
1:35:16
And so yeah, there's that one other one. No, most people aren't
1:35:20
cheering insults on Fox News and MSNBC in the evening. Turns out less than
1:35:25
two percent of Americans are even watching. Well at your household, Yeah,
1:35:30
I don't watch Fox anymore. That you haven't given up the band yet,
1:35:34
I can't find its replacement either, Well no I can't. It's it's my
1:35:40
boycott is still going on, but I don't have it. I have not
1:35:43
found its alternative view. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Now see if you agree with this, you're ready. Republicans Democrats agree. The following rights and
1:35:49
freedoms are extremely, very important to well function in America. Right to vote
1:35:54
correct, well, I think Republicans rightly vote under certain I think has love.
1:36:00
The right to count the vote and massage the vote. Yes, they
1:36:03
don't care who votes, they care who counts. Yeah, I worked the
1:36:06
vote. Right to equal protection under the law. No, again, that
1:36:12
goes back to Danny. Politics have changed all that. It's not equal protection.
1:36:16
Equity means equal outcome, not equal opportunity. Yeah. Right to freedom
1:36:20
or religion. No, they they've demonized Christians. Case in point, Greg,
1:36:26
the same school I think it was in the Seattle, Washington area.
1:36:29
This is the school that remembered the football coach would take a knee at an
1:36:32
end of a game, and they fired him. He took the Supreme Court
1:36:34
and run. Well. Now, now, Greg, there's an eleven year
1:36:38
old girl up there who wants to set up in this school a faith club.
1:36:43
Okay, the school has told her no, But the school told another
1:36:47
group of kids who want a pride club that they can go ahead and do
1:36:50
it. There you go, yeah, there you go? So yeah you
1:36:54
either got to get rid of clubs or you got to let clubs come in
1:36:57
and be what clubs want to be. But yeah, but there there is
1:37:00
your your exhibit A on you know there there is there is discrimination, yeah
1:37:05
occurring, right, Yeah, And I love to think they're right to own
1:37:09
a gun is important? Amen to that, Yeah, Amen to that.
1:37:13
So look, Axios wants to actually lull us into a false sense of security
1:37:17
on some of those stats. But I do think that the American people there's
1:37:20
a lot of overlap on our concerns and our priority of which the leftists do
1:37:27
not concur I mean, if you know, they got a club, we're
1:37:30
not in it, and they just want you to stay in your lane. They if they can have a caste system, they'd go back to that in
1:37:34
a heartbeat. I think they want that all right, that you know what
1:37:36
world done? We are? Ye? It was quick? Goodness, there
1:37:41
it is. I can't believe it's over. It's over. That up,
1:37:45
shoulders back. May God bless you and your family and certainly this great country
1:37:48
of ours. Thing for listing back tomorrow. It's have a good evening.
