And we're live. Welcome back to Loopcast. It's Tom Erica and Josh. And I have a few things I would like to accomplish on this episode. I'm going to stake out up top. Okay. So Tom Homan actually went on Dr. Phil's show, among other places, and finally explained the first enforcement action that sparked this protest. Strangely, until this morning, I didn't see that. So I thought that was important context to add. We have kind of where we are at now with the riots and protests in L.A., where they're spreading to,

what we should expect. We have a No Kings Day coming up on Saturday that we've got to talk about.

The political response and the historical context for the president activating the National Guard,

how this has impacted polling. What do the majority of Americans think about this?

CNN had some pretty surprising numbers there.

And then why the left and or Democrats seemingly encourage riots,

and it strangely seems only associated with the one side.

So I'm looking forward to getting in all that today.

But first, how are we doing, Erica, and Josh?

I'm doing great.

It's hot outside. So the kids have evacuated the house to go find water somewhere while I talk to you guys.

And so the house is quiet, nice and cool.

It's a great day.

Sounds good.

Josh?

It's a beautiful morning.

Beautiful morning. I'm ready to dive in. I mean, it's crazy.

There literally is so much news.

And I can't wait to dive in.

I mean, it's crazy.

Yep.

Don't worry.
