Gary Dietrich, KGO's political analyst, joined us today to discuss the ever-changing odds of various Democrats vying for the opportunity to run against President Trump in the 2020 election. Per Gary, Kamala Harris is trending down and Joe Biden does not seem to have hurt himself with the "Uncle Joe" touching issue. You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm and 7:30pm of KGO810 or go to //www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens/

Yesterday we talked with US Congressman Eric Swalwell about his decision to join 17 other Democrats pursing their party's nomination for President in 2020. Today we focused on his work in the House investigating any possible collusion between President Trump and the Russians to influence the 2016 election. You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm, and 7:30pm on KGO810 or go to www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens/ to her this and many other reports.

Yet another Democrat declaring his goal of being his party's nominee for President in 2020, US Congressman Eric Swalwell joined us to explain what distinguishes him from his 17 opponents. He acknowledged his longshot status, but pointed out that deciding to give up his seat demonstrates his seriousness. You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3;30pm and 7:30pm on KGO810 or go to www.kgoradio/ronnowens/

The law is supposed to be blind. But clueless? I talked about a citation given to a woman in Augusta, Georgia. The offense? Her three year old child desperately had to pee. She raced to a gas station, but he couldn't hold it in. Did I also mention she was 34 weeks pregnant and thus couldn't lift him? An officer sees what was going on and gives her a disorderly conduct ticket!! Here's guessing he doesn't have a child. You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm and 7:30pm on KGO810 or click //www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens

Today's major story was Kirstjen Nielsen resigning as Secretary of Homeland Security hours after a meeting with the President. Was she pushed? We discussed this with Jackie Alemany, Washington Post reporter and anchor of "Power Up," an early morning newsletter. One area we talked about was the changing demographics of immigration. In the early 2000s it was mostly Mexican men coming to the US to work. Now it's mostly families from Central America. You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm, and 7:30pm on KGO810 or go to www.kgoradio.com/ronnonwens/ for this and many other reports.

We chatted with U.S. Congressman Tom McClintock (R-CA) about releasing the Mueller report in its entirety, which he favors with redactions for potential judicial action in the future. We also talked about the wall (he's totally for it, I'm not)) and his belief that DACA is in many ways responsible for the rise in illegals trying to enter the country. You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm, and 7:30pm on KGO810 or for this and many other segments, go to //www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens/

I've been upset with the length and nastiness over Joe Biden's "tactile" politics. I understand it's generational, but I wish people would just accept that his style, though uncomfortable to some, is still a rare quality in a politician. I talked about this and then gave my take on some of the other potential Democratic nominees in today's report. You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm and 7:30pm on KGO810 or go to //www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens/

Jason Middleton, KGO's business and tech reporter and host of "Techonomics" joined us to talk about some major issues impacting the economy. First we discussed how with huge companies like Facebook and Google, the key word is quantity, and to achieve that they have no problem airing toxic videos. Jason also pointed out the hypocrisy of Mark Zuckerberg pushing for more regulation because it would help the major players at the expense of smaller ones. Finally, we briefly pointed out that rising energy costs and wages are likely to eat into corporate profits, which would slow down the stock market. You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm, and 7:30pm on KGO810 or by clicking //www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens/

Today's guest was Tom Rogan, columnist with the Washington Times, and the segment discussed the appeal or lack thereof with Freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. Tom's point was not to get taken in by her telegenic appearance and quick repartee, but to look deeper at what she proposes. He says doing that will make you realize the extreme and dangerous nature of her ideas.You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm, and 7:30pm on KGO810 or just go to //www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens/

The issue everyone was talking about this past weekend was Joe Biden and his affectionate, physical, tactile style with women (and men and children). We talked with Michael Scherer, Washington Post national political reporter about whether this would hurt him should Biden run for the 2020 Democratic nomination. We also discussed how the Democrats are dealing with the #metoo movement (former Senator Al Franken comes to mind) and the way some of his potential opponents are playing the controversy. You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report at 11:30am, 3:30pm, and 7:30 on KGO810 or go to //www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens/
