Cox defends troops to L-A, calls Pride flag fight 'dumb'
About this episode
Governor Spencer Cox defends President Trump's decision to federalize the National Guard and send troops to protests in Los Angeles. Panelists Sarah Reale and Erin Rider weigh in. "They're dumb flags, and it was a dumb bill." That's Cox's quote when asked about Salt Lake City's move to create alternatives to the Pride flag after they were banned on government buildings. Cox is also leaving the door open for a potential special election over repeal of the law that bans public labor unions from collective bargaining. Artificial intelligence regulations seem to be the latest snag for President Trump's big, beautiful bill. Lawmakers in both Congress and the Utah state legislature are voicing their disapproval of a provision in the bill that would stop states from regulating artificial intelligence for the next 10 years. Reale and Rider weigh in on all of it.
