Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Official.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
I think are we official?

Speaker 3 (00:02):

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Are we official?

Speaker 4 (00:03):
Mark?

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Yeah, Mar saying yeah, we're now official.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
We have a little doff.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
We have a little technical problems, and I mean NASA's
got a problem they you know, they've got a spaceship
up there that they can't bring home.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
A great way to look at it, glass half full.
We're not those astronauts sitting up there while Bowing and
NASA are arguing about how to bring them down. Yeah,
poor folks, they got their malfunctions. Were are a lot
worse than what we we just lived through right now. Yeah,
I was called I was cool as a cucumber over here.
I just watched you and Mark just you know, scram
work it all out.

Speaker 5 (00:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
I just sat here and get ready with my show
notes and everything.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Well as might started off today, which most people didn't hear.
I can't believe you did this today, did what you
brought in your football trophies? Absolutely because you're proud of
being a coach.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
I'm coaching. Yeah, exactly right. I'm so glad that you've
started the show with this observation, Rod, because I am
coach Es. I've been citizen news, but since since uh
Governor Walls is now being called coach Walls. I come
to find out that man's been an assistant coach. Now,
not to disparage assistant coaches, but I have been and

(01:09):
was a championship That's why I brought the hardware in
a championship assistant football coach for my sons pee wee
and Gremlin teams in the Ute Conference.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
And so, what were you labeled in that trophy? What
does one of the labels say.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
It says assistant coach.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Yeah, But other than that, what does it say something
about being waterboy?

Speaker 1 (01:29):
No, it doesn't. There's nothing about waterboy on that trophy.
I'm telling you it's not.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
It says hydration Extraordinary.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Now I said that, This says you Conference Northern Continental,
ALTA Gremlin Gray Champions, assistant coach Greg Hughes. That's one, okay.
The other one says ALTA World Continental pee Wee White,
pee wee White coach, Greg. It says coach. Doesn't even
say assistant coach, Greg Hughes, You Conference champions. I am
a championship caliber coach. Yeah, I guess it's coach Hues. Now,

(02:03):
if you're.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Gonna call you're glorified water governor a Walls, which is
my new favorite name. You're gonna call Governor Walls coach
Walls for being an assistant coach. Well, then I'm coaching, okay,
all right, and I brought the hard way to prove it. Yeah. Well,
we've got a lot to get to today now that
we're up and running, and we appreciate all the efforts
to get us on the air as we should today.

(02:25):
We got a lot today, Donald Trump. So Donald Trump
holds the news conference today, right, yes, and he says
a lot of things in that news conference. Guess who
talked to the reporters today after that news conference?

Speaker 1 (02:35):
A little peer pressure, maybe.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Little Kamala Harris before she got on a plane after
a rally in Detroit, decided to grace the media with
her presence and answer a question or two.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
So we listened to that live and I couldn't hear
a thing. Yeah, the engines are roarings are roaring. But
there was a whole lot that she said other than
what confirming what President Trump said in his press conference
that he was looking has agreed two three presidential debates,
and that the first one, I believe, or one of them.
On September tenth, on ABC has been mutually agreedable.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, they've agreed on now the two others that he's proposing.
She has some weight in on this.

Speaker 6 (03:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
And her her statement there was we're still talking or
whatever she said. You know, she's just they're still negotia.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Sure.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Sure, you know that that first debate though, or that
debate on ABC that was all debated with with Biden
under the circumstances.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
The Plan debate. Yeah, that was the Plan debate.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
And she wanted to just kind of slip in and
take that over. But you know, it's a new new candidate.
You can have some new conditions, I guess, but maybe
they're going to be different. But I look, I don't
mind the setup on the first debate. I actually don't
mind not having a live crowd.

Speaker 7 (03:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I actually it was actually better.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
I think it serves I know that President Trump probably
doesn't like it. I know he feeds off the crowd,
but I think it. I think it's good for him
to be in a quiet setting like that because I
think it helps him stay focused on the questions and
he knows that they can turn off his mic if
he doesn't, you know, get it all out. And so
I thought his debate performance was really goodunder the circumstance
this last time.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, this one's on ABC. Correct, that's right. If George
Stephanopoulos gets anywhere near that debate desk, Donald Trump should
walk out.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah, come on, isn't he suing him or something?

Speaker 2 (04:14):
They're suing each other. I mean, it's just it's just ridiculous.
So we've got one debate for sure on September tenth,
and then maybe two others. That's what he proposed today.
But it is news conference. What do you say about
his news conference today? He answered a lot of questions.
You know, someone said, isn't nice that the president would
show up and answer a few our questions?

Speaker 8 (04:32):
Wasn't that?

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Is that what Babylon b or something like that being
reported in complete shock journalists confused by presidential candidates standing
in front of cameras and answering questions. They didn't know
what to do. The members of the media were caught
off guard and express confusion after seeing a presidential candidate
standing in front of cameras and answering questions. This incident

(04:53):
happened today at the marl Lago Resort.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Wow, so pretty amazing, pretty amazing. Well, when we come back.
We've got to take a break. When we come back,
we'll talk about what the president had to say, and
we'll talk about do you call him sergeant Walls, coach Walls?
What do you call this column?

Speaker 1 (05:09):
I just saw that there, am I like, Governor A
Walls have a Walls?

Speaker 8 (05:13):
I like.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
We'll talk about that. A lot to get to today.
Steve More, economist extraordinaire, will join us later on in
the show. So it's great to be with you on
this Thursday afternoon, the Rotting Greg Show right here on
Talk Radio one O five nine k n RS live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app brought our cat along with
citizen Greg Hughes. A lot to talk about today. We
finally had a press conference today. It wasn't from Kamala Harris,

(05:36):
but we got a press conference.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
You know, President Trump is great. He gets up there
at mar A Lago and it's just like, come one,
come on, answer ask your questions. It was really if
there's a funny moment where they said, you know, you
haven't had any campaign events for a whole week, you know,
are you ever going to campaign? And he lives what
stupid question? What us stupid?

Speaker 2 (05:57):
I remember that.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, and look, but you know what his answer was,
He gave a little bit of the playbook away. His
answer is a little too candidate. He says, they're getting
ready for their convention. I'm not getting in the way.
I'm letting them say or not say, what they're going
to do. But I'm not out there. I'm raised. I'm
campaigning for other candidates, other US Senate candidates that are Republican.
I'm doing a lot of work. We're doing a lot
of campaigning. But it's true, you're not going to go

(06:21):
into some of that more rallies and battleground state as
they're leading up to that to their Democrat convention, because
they're going to get their bump. Just be prepared for that.
They're going to get a bump from that. But I
thought that his people don't like how long he goes
on and everything else. Contrast that to the church mouse
that was Biden and now is Kamala Harris. She doesn't

(06:41):
have a lot to say, and once you hear her,
or if we ever hear her, we'll take those answers
that Trump's giving as much more authentic and real.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
We're going to talk here in just a second about
the issue of what people constantly call what about ism.
We'll get into that in a minute, but first of all,
let's explore what has happened with Papa Daddy, cuddly puffy Bear.
Tim Walls. I don't know how you describe him. Smulk
and cheese, hardware store we're talking about, and he has

(07:09):
an issue to deal with when it comes to his
service in the military.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Folks. We talked about the issues that he is on
the wrong side of the American people on as and
the issues he's supported as governor of Minnesota. But he's
got an integrity issue. I'm going to argue now that's
really hitting and going viral today. We're gonna jump into
that right now.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah, well, let's hear this first one he had to
say on seat Span a couple of years ago about
his role and his military service.

Speaker 9 (07:35):
I spent twenty four years in the National Guard. Some
of that full time I was an artillery mon I
deployed in support of Operation and during Freedom.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
My battalion provided.

Speaker 9 (07:44):
Based security throughout the European theater from Turkey to England
in the early stages of the war in Afghanistan, and
that same battalion is now in Iraq.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
And then at a town hall meeting in Minnesota, he
talked about again his role in the military.

Speaker 10 (08:00):
Cool cup like many of you did five weeks ago,
and Dad said, Dad, you're the only person I know
who's an elected office. You need to stop what's happening
with this. I'll take my kick in the butt for
the NRA. I spent twenty five years in the army,
and I hunt and I gave the money back.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
And I'll tell you what I have been doing.

Speaker 10 (08:13):
I've been voting for common sense legislation that protects a
second amendment. But we can do background checks, we can
do CDC research, we can make sure we don't have
reciprocal carry amongst states, and we can make sure that
those weapons of war that I carried in war is
the only place where those weapons were at.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Well, we've now learned, of course that he never was
really in a combat zone.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
And when you shooting war too, that would that would
I would I would think by hearing that he had
a weapon, he carried it and in war. Yeah, that's
I think that's what he said. I think that's what
I think that was the message he was conveying. Turns
out from the fact checkers in the most unreliable place
for a lot of us on the right, CNN even

(08:56):
CNN couldn't let this stuff drop. They had some, uh,
I don't know, some fact checking to do with what
Governor Walls is describing as his wartime, his combat experience
as a soldier. Let's hear what Dan say.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
But this isn't about whether you served or not, because
no one questions whether Tim Wall served. It's a question
of did you inflate your record or did you inflate
your accomplishments after the fact for political gain, And I
think that's a very legitimate line of questioning for people
to ask themselves.

Speaker 7 (09:27):
Waltz did make a comment speaking to a group.

Speaker 11 (09:29):
He's done it a couple of times where he has
used language that has suggested that he carried weapons in
a fighting situation. As you know with your contact with
the military, I know from coming from a military family,
there is a difference between being in a combat area,
being involved at a time of war, and actually being
in a position where people are shooting at you. There

(09:51):
is no evidence that at any time Governor Waltz was
in a position of being shot at, and some of
his language could easily be seen to suggest that he was.
So that is absolutely false when he said that about
gun rights out there.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
You know you know now you and I you didn't
serve in the military, did you neither to die? But
people in the military know the language, so to speak,
and obviously Tim Walls was trying to get away with
using some of the language that he was being shot at.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
That's right. And so this time yesterday when we were
on the show, I knew that he had bailed out.
He was commanding a unit. That unit was getting deployed,
and right before they got deployed, he found an excuse
on how to get out of there. What I didn't
know is that during his time running for Congress, running
for governor, he actually lied about his service. He lied
about serving in combat. He said, he said or insinuated

(10:43):
directly that he or left people with the impression he
saw he fought in combat. He claimed that he served
in Afghanistan. His rank of what was on was on
the Harris Kamala Harris presidential campaign website up until today. Yeah,
gave a rank that they had to justin had to
change because he was demoted when he decided to leave,

(11:04):
and his and his unit was deployed, which there were
fatalities with that unit. But he but all of that
is happening in real time. That's even worse than kind
of baling out and being afraid, not wanting to go,
and so you for you to suggest or to tell
people that you did go when you didn't. He actually
rought he actually when he was in Congress, he voted

(11:25):
for the Stolen Valor Act of twenty thirteen. Yeah, he
voted for this building. You're not supposed to do it.
And here we are, and here we are now.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
The other thing we wanted to talk about for just
a minute is the what about ism issue, because when
you bring up things sometimes the Democrats always say, well,
what about so and so? Right? What about is? Now
we have the same thing happening with Governor Walls, you
know about you know, and you bring this up and

(11:53):
the left just saying, well, what about JD. Vance He
never was in a combat zone.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Every time I bring up to one of these liberal
you know, you're you've weaponized the Department of Justice. You know,
there's selective outrage, selective logic. You do it this way
when it has to do a Trump or the right
or anyone that's you know, that's not leftist and crazy.
This is how you treat the other side. They'd say, oh,
that's what about is AML. You never want to talk
about Trump. You always want to say what about now?

(12:18):
We when we're looking at things about Walls not being
honest about his military service, pretending he was in combat
when he wasn't, suggesting things that are not true, they say, well,
what about jd. Vance. He really wasn't in a dangerous
position in Afghanistan?

Speaker 8 (12:34):
Was he?

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Well, they better be careful about he was. He was,
in fact the position he held, which was a public
relations position. But they took people like they escorted journalists
into these wartime at places and in Afghanistan, where was
it that in two thousand and five, one of the
hottest and most dangerous places and where the fatalities were
coming in, someone in that same position he was in

(12:54):
tragically was killed by one of these one of those
explosives that go off that you're not four, and it
was dangerous, it was in combat. He's never misrepresented that,
But then what about Trump? He didn't serve. Well, it's
not about whether you serve or not, it's if you're
misrepresenting your record, and that is the biggest issue.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
That's what and that's exactly what Tim Walls has done.
And the Harris campaign is now trying to figure out
a way of this, and of course they've got the
media on their side, the very friendly democratic media, who
is saying, well, what about this? And what about that?
What about that? You know, they're just experts at what
about is there?

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Are they are? They can do it seamlessly, and if
you try to show them the inconsistencies in their approach,
then you're you're guilty of what about it? And which
is the ultimate irony with these these people.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
All right, when we come back, who did Kamala and
her husband donate to in Washington d C? Wait till
you heal that story that's coming up with a Rod
and Greg show right here on Utah's Talk radio one
oh five nine knrs.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
And we're going to speak right now with a reporter
from Washington Examiner. I love this because you're going to
hear the talking heads talking about Kamala Harris's record of
soft on crime, catch and release, bail out the the
rioters back in twenty twenty. But there's a lot more
going on even recently with her advocacy for those who

(14:15):
hate the police. Yeah and public sity.

Speaker 12 (14:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Well, joining us said, as Greg mentioned on our Newsmaker
Line right now, is Gabe Kaminski. Gabe is an investigative
reporter at the Washington Examiner, and he's struck up with
story about Kamala and her husband. They donated last year
to defund police in DC, in the nation's capitol, aslong
with backing a sanctuary city effort there in DC. Again,

(14:39):
Gabe back on the show. Welcome, Gabe, tell us about
this story and what you've been able to on Earth.

Speaker 6 (14:44):
That's right.

Speaker 13 (14:44):
According to records reviewed by the Washington Examiner, specifically White
House financial disclosures tax returns sorry released by the White
House Vice.

Speaker 6 (14:54):
President, Kamala Harrison Doug M.

Speaker 13 (14:56):
Hoff cut in one thousand dollars check just last year
and also one thousand dollars in twenty twenty one too.

Speaker 6 (15:03):
An organization in Washington, d C.

Speaker 13 (15:05):
Called Legal ADC that has supported defunding the police, lobbied
in support of a law that would restrict the Department
of Homeland Security from cooperating with state agencies to thwart
a legal immigration in Washington, d C. Also known as
sanctuary city law, an organization that also has supported reparations

(15:30):
for black people. So this is something that Republicans were
raising concerns over yesterday, and it comes as Kamala Harris
faces a lot of scrutiny for her past positions.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
So's it's a fascinating article and fascinating data because she's
been trying to walk back a lot of these very
leftist views as she's now the nominee, and so a
lot of people look at those twenty twenty her creating
the bail fund and what she did in San Francisco
is the old Kamala, not the new one, not the
new candidate. But it if she's donating as recently as

(16:02):
just last year in twenty twenty three, as per her
income taxes tax records, could we give her the band
for the doubt? Is there anything in that organization that's
really tough on crime that she could say I donated,
But it wasn't for that. It was for all these
really tough on crime efforts that the organization has. Do
they have any this group that he donated to.

Speaker 13 (16:25):
Look, not to my knowledge, but what I can tell
you I think is what the sentiment that you expressed
is something that Trump's campaign and people close to former
President Donald Trump and Republicans across the country you were
kind of raising concerns over yesterday, which is Kamala Harris
has sought to reverse her policies, whether it be on
criminal justice or otherwise after twenty twenty and right now,

(16:50):
this show is something she did last year that tends
to align with her positions in twenty twenty and those
who worked for her in twenty twenty, such as Brian
Fallon or her current communications director, who tweeted in support
of defunding the police in twenty twenty. So we're not
exactly sure actually Kamala Harris's positions right now, frankly because
the media hasn't gotten the opportunity to ask her a question.

(17:13):
So there's a lot that needs to be understood. But
hopefully this can, you know, shed some light on that.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
We're talking right now with Gabe Kaminski. He's an investigative
reporter of the Washington Examiner. Tell us a little bit
about this organization, if you would, Gab. It's called the
Legal Aid DC. It's been around for a little while.
It is not a fly by night organization, right that's right.

Speaker 13 (17:33):
So Legal Aid DC is a nonprofit of five oh
one C three charity and it represents low income individuals,
typically in Washington, d c.

Speaker 6 (17:43):
On housing issues. It represents immigrants in various issues.

Speaker 13 (17:48):
And you know, a part of that has been that
in connection to representing some of the some of these parties,
it has been you know, it has established itself as
a staunchly anti police organization, a staunchly anti law enforcement organization.
It's a group that supports a legal immigration. If you
look at its staff, it's staff often posts in support

(18:11):
of people, you know, abortion, pro abortion clauses and whatnot.
So I would just say it's a very socially progressive organization.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
So the spin overnight she was an unpopular vice president.
Now she's very popular as a nominee, and she chooses
the governor of Minnesota, Governor Tim Walls, who at least
by record is maybe more to the left than Kamala
Harris in given that Minneapolis burned for days and all

(18:43):
of the things that he did. Do you think it
was a conscious effort on her part to pick someone
who aligns or maybe is even more aggressive in these
leftist pursuits By choosing a Canada a running mate like
Tim Walls.

Speaker 13 (18:56):
Look, I think Tim Waltz was the appealing pick to
the progressive base. The progressive base, the Generation Z base
was very excited by that pick. Josh Shapiro was viewed
as the more moderate selection. Obviously, Shapiro, a Jewish man himself,
has been more supportive of Israel, and that people suspect

(19:17):
that might be perhaps the reason why he was not picked,
right because the progressive base hasn't exactly been thrilled and
animated about supporting the Jewish state after October seventh. All
that is to say, Tim Waltz is it's going to
be really interesting to vet Tim Waltz to get closer
to the election, because keep in mind, you know, our
listeners out there. Tim Waltz was the governor of Minnesota

(19:41):
in twenty twenty when riots, you know, significant riots rocked
Minneapolis and other cities, and it was.

Speaker 6 (19:50):
Under his watch that that occurred.

Speaker 13 (19:52):
And he even said this in a press conference on
May twenty ninth, I believe the thirtieth where he had
said it's my responsibility ensured public safety, and unfortunately public
safety has not exactly.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Had final question for you, gab In light of this
story about her contributing to defund the police. I mean,
you know, you hear reports that Washington, DC has become
a very dangerous city. There's just not that many police
officers around there. Is that a fair description about what
has happened in the nation's capital.

Speaker 6 (20:23):
Well, that's the data speaks for itself.

Speaker 13 (20:25):
And look, defund police is a statistically unpopular proposal that
has been pretty much disavowed by the Democratic Party. After
twenty twenty lawmakers in Congress actually on both sides of
the aisle voted to condemn defund police and also just
generally has been disavowed by Democrats.

Speaker 6 (20:47):
So it is correct that is unpopular.

Speaker 13 (20:50):
And it is also correct that Washington, DC has seen
skyrocketing crime in recent years. And I don't think residents here,
speaking as one of them myself, would be too thrilled
about the notion of stripping law enforcement of resources.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
You know, it's amazing that here you have a person
running for president of the United States, and in Kamala
Harris and her record on law enforcement, on you know,
the defunding of police. It's amazing that she's been able
to get away with this. And at this point, Greg
now hopefully this will come out in one of the debates.
Nobody at this point has asked her about it.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
And look, I have so many friends right now that
are watching this love fest happen with the media and
with her and all the gloss game. We've got quite
the montage to play for you of all the just
sweet descriptions and adjectives associated with governor. I'm going to
call them a walls governor walls from Minnesota. But just

(21:46):
be patient, folks. It is August and they have a
convention coming up, and at some point she is going
to have to speak. She is going to have to
make her case. And I think the more information that
comes out about the record of both because they both
have been on the clock the last four years in
different capacities, but Kamala Harris owns this, this Biden Harris record,
So everything we see going on is hers. It's it's

(22:07):
going to change, And I think that there's a luxury
of saying I would like to vote for Harris. Uh,
you know right now that the poll, if the polls
are showing, it's tightened up when you get to the
reality of it, and once a lot of this information,
I think it's out. If it just takes you and
me to do it, because we will, we will, then
I think you'll see those numbers look similar to what
the Trump Biden numbers are looking at looking like before

(22:29):
the switcheroo happened.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
All Right, we'll talk more about Governor Walls and the
cuddley I'm so cuddly, he's so cuddly. Rod and Greg
and Utah's Talk Radio one O five nine knrs. In
the coming hour. We have a question for you tonight.
We do it is has the Democratic Party and their
campaign strategy now to hate men?

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Is it the party? Is it the party women and
weak men? I want to know, is that the strategy
hating men? The Democratic campaign strategy? I've got some I
got some data here that I got some I got
some quotes that might suggest that we don't want to
hear from you now.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
It's always kind of fun to see how the world
is reacting and reporting on what is going on here
in the United States, especially right now with the presidential
battle the selection of Tim Walls to be Kamala Harris's
running mate. It's kind of funny how the outside media
outside of the United States is treating this story, you know,
and I.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Got some pals down in the land down Under. I
got some friends in Australia, so I kind of keep
tabs on Sky News that's down there in national news
service in Australia. There is nothing better than hearing a
good Aussie talking about American politics. And this whole whitewash
of Governor Walls has not gone unnoticed globally.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
So the assigned media that for close to four years
called Kamala Harris ineffective, unpopular, and a major liability for
the Biden White House is now telling you that she's
enormously competent and a popular leader. And it's clear they
also have their DNC talking points on her running mate,
Tim Walls, the socialist Minnesota governor, is not some hard

(24:18):
left radical, no, no, no, He's a cuddly warrior.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
What does Walls brunt to this?

Speaker 7 (24:24):
He's cuddly and cuddly, cuddly, cuddly. I think she worked
for maybe a little bit more of a cuddly choice.
He tells more about like the texture of the man.
He seems to almost have a tomakelin his.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
Eyes is the opposite of weird America.

Speaker 7 (24:38):
He sounds like, you know, a football coach. He's a
hunter who you could visit with at the hardware store.

Speaker 5 (24:43):
In a dictionary of head weird and anti weird, you'd
have Keim Waffs's picture there.

Speaker 14 (24:47):
I bet knows how to be a good heart, dishcouse,
very down to earth.

Speaker 13 (24:50):
It's his authenticity often the communicator.

Speaker 7 (24:53):
The word joy came up a lot. He's joyful. She
seems happy, A happy, go lucky warrior.

Speaker 5 (24:59):
And he's happy and happy warriors, a joyful warrior.

Speaker 15 (25:01):
He is one happy warrior, a happy warrior.

Speaker 7 (25:04):
He's cuddly, he's happy.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
He's a warrior.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
But I wonder is he affable with a folks seat vibe?

Speaker 2 (25:14):
This sky news is great and you know he's cuddly.
If you're a politician, do you want to be known
as cutley?

Speaker 1 (25:21):
But have you seen the guy? I don't even know
where to get the word cuddly from. I mean, I
don't even know how he's cuddly. And he's authentically not
telling you the truth about his combat, well lack of him.
He's a cuddly liar. I know, pants on fire. That's
I don't know. Is that is that endearing? Is one
that we should be getting excited about now.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
A little bit later on in the show, we've been
talking about for the past two weeks, the media in
this country has just been falling all over self about
Kamala Harris. You know, they've got quite a honeymoon. We've
never met this person, know who they're talking about. It
wasn't always that way with the Median. A little bit
later on in the show, we'll play you what the
media used to say about kamalay Arizona. It was very nice. No,

(26:01):
and it wasn't that long ago either.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
No, we're talking.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
About during her time as vice president of the United States.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
We didn't have to search the archives for this. This
is stuff that was just recently was a little more
critical of the walks on Water greatest Democrat nominee that's
never had a single primary vote ever. Yeah, or even
a convention battle, Colin Harris.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
You know, and right now, Greg, and this is this
is where I think Donald Trump and the Democratic Party
needs discipline. You've talked about this. We're getting caught up
on all these really frivolous things when it comes to
the action. Get back to the issues. And Steve Moore,
the chief economists with the Biden or with the Trump
administration when the president was in the White House, he's

(26:44):
one of its economic advisors has broken down which president
these two candidates, who is the president for Meddle America?

Speaker 1 (26:53):
And yeah, it's and it's it's incredible data. Yeh. And
it'll be a great discussion.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
We'll talk about that, Steve will Joina. We'll also talk
about the Democratic campaign strategy of hating men. You're ready, Yes,
what's coming up?

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Which creates weak men, weak men, angry women.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
Angry women. Amen, and then more coming up. Stay with us,
But we have the staff checking the authenticity if in
fact citizen Greg Hughes was at one time a winning
football coach. Chance, we want to see the record. You
got the trophies, but you can buy those anyway. He

(27:31):
brought folks if we don't have pictures of this, but
he comes walking in today with these two huge football trophies. Yes,
claiming If Tim Walls can say he's a coach.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
You can absolutely if he is an assistant coach can
be called coach Walls, then my deellar career as an
assistant coach slash hydration specialist water boy. Yes, I I
feel that the yo's young men needed water. Then I'm
that I'm coach Hughes would maybe not Susan Hues. Maybe
I'm coach Hues.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Now, which position did you coach?

Speaker 1 (28:04):
I was overall everything. I did a lot of special
I was honorary. Were you a coach coach? No, I
wasn't a head coach. I wasn't the offensive or defensive coordinator.
I did special teams. But I also there's other there's
other duties of a coach. That's one of them, but
there's others too. You know, each kid had to play
at least ten plays. You had to make sure every

(28:25):
kid got their plays into. I kind of counted that too.

Speaker 6 (28:28):
So I'm a guy.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
You're you're digressing. The whole point is if if Governor
Walls is coach Walls being an assistant coaches, and then
I'm missed, then I'm coach Hues.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Did your coaches?

Speaker 1 (28:38):
That's it? That's so, do you prefer citizen or coach whose?

Speaker 8 (28:41):
Well?

Speaker 1 (28:42):
I prefer I think citizen whos is really who I am.
But I if I have to hear coach Walls anymore,
then I'm going to be coach Hues, because I think
I think coach is a lofty position to be called
and if he's going to get away with it being
an assistant coach, then I'm going to be called coach. Hughes.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
It is great to be with you on this Thursday afternoon,
wrapping up the first week of the Rotten Greg Show.
Will be here tomorrow, but the first week Man has
gone by fast.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
It a blast.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
You know, we have we have moved the country in
the right direction.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
I think we have. I think it took more than
one day a week. I think Man Wednesday was good.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
We're headed in that direction. Momentum that country all right.
Coming up here in a little bit. We're all talking
about why the Democratic campaign strategy now is to hate men.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Yeah, yeah, they know, yeah, they hate us. No, there's that.
They think that there's some inherent racism and sexism and
toxic masculinity with the men out there.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Doug Amhoff talked about that that's a big enough Kamala gamala.
That's a big issue, big issue. But you know, one
of the key issues when it all comes down to
this is people head to the polls now in about
ninety days, they're going to be thinking about the economy.
That's I mean, that's that's still a key issue out there,
the number one issue for a lot of people. Everywhere
you go. Greg prices are higher, gas prices are higher,

(30:01):
grocery prices are higher. You know, the politicians are now
joining consumers trying to get companies to cut their prices.
They're going to cut their prices. Why would you want
to cut your prices right now?

Speaker 16 (30:12):
Right?

Speaker 1 (30:12):
No, it's supply and demand. Government has a way of
getting out of the way, letting an economy grow where
a supply side, you know, free market economy, where you
can be the social engineering oligarchs of the of the left,
and you can try to create more and more government
spending that government makes jobs. That doesn't work anyway. I
think there is. Like you said from the beginning of

(30:33):
this week, the choices could not be more clear in
terms of social engineering oligarchs versus personal liberties and self
determination of free market freedom.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
That's right.

Speaker 7 (30:42):
Well.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Steve Moore is joining us on our news maker line.
Steve as chief economist with the Freedom Works also with
the Heritage Foundation, once a top economic advisor to former
President Donald Trump. Steve, thanks for joining us tonight. You
wrote a great article this week, Steve. I want to
talk to you about it. It's talking about the economy
and who is the real middle class president? So let

(31:02):
me pose that question to you, Steve, who, in your
opinion is the real middle class president?

Speaker 12 (31:10):
Well?

Speaker 8 (31:10):
It does, I mean, so, the bottom line is that
when Trump was president, the average family gained about five
thousand dollars of income after inflation, which is a lot,
you know, and under Biden that number has been closer
to a negative two thousand dollars. So it's been it's
been quite a different, you know, shift in these and

(31:34):
these two presidents. And you know that means that the
average family is actually poorer today than they were three
and a half years ago when Biden came into office.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
You know, mister Moore, I'm a news junkie. I pay
attention to the details. I watch everything. It was news
to me until you reported here that the Census Bureau
data that you're using on incomes and poverty, which no
one's going to accuse the Census Bureau of being a
right wing think tank, right, it is that the that
under President Trump, the middle class income rose faster than

(32:05):
all three president under all three presidents combined, And you
even included the COVID years in those numbers.

Speaker 8 (32:12):
Yeah, it is pretty amazing because there were you know, uh, well,
we lost income under Biden because of the I mean
under under Trump. In the last year, there is present
because of COVID. But the games were so large thanks
to the Trump tax cuts and thanks to the policies

(32:33):
that Trump put in place with energy and deregulation, and
those really paid off. So I think the main point
to understand is that we have you know, made incredible
We made incredible economic progress under Trump and not so
much so under Biden. And of course, you know, Biden
is not the candidate now, but Kamala Harris is, and

(32:54):
she clearly, uh you know, is endorsed, and she she
was the tie breaking vote for two of the major,
massive trillion dollars spending bills that helped, you know, create
the inflation in the first place.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Yeah, Steve, Donald Trump just wrapped up his news conference
a short time ago, and he talked about, you know,
taking the taxes off Social Security and off tips. The left,
of course, is out there shouting that if that goes through,
he'll rekindle inflation again. What do you make of that, Steve,
I mean, there's no truth to.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
That is there.

Speaker 8 (33:25):
Well, I think this idea of not taxing tips was
ingenious because you know, my first job was as a
car parker back in the early nineteen eighties when I
was a kid, and you know, most of the money
you made was tips if you took good care of
people's cars, if you did a good job, you got
a nice tip. And you know, sometimes you walk away with,
you know, after a night, maybe forty to fifty bucks

(33:46):
in your wallet. And by the way, that's when forty
or fifty dollars was a lot of money, you know,
and so but you know, this is a good way
to get money into the pockets. Let people keep their
own money when doing a good job. And these are
service workers for the most part. So I liked the
idea a lot. I think it's really quite a genius

(34:06):
and I think that a lot of my democratic friends think, Gee,
what I wish I had thought of that.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
By the way, Steve, I think you have something in
common with my new co host, right Hughes, because I
think he parked cars when he was a kid, too.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Sure I did. I sure did. Tambaline's restaurant Boy I
was by parked cars and made good tips. Too, but
it was all cash in the hand.

Speaker 8 (34:29):
It was one of my favorite jobs because you got
to drive all these cool cars.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 8 (34:34):
Yeah, you know ferraris and rolls Royces and you know
that's always fun.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
But the restaurant I was I was at wasn't that swanky.
I just didn't get any of those. I got some
really nice corvettes, I guess, but I never saw the
roles roll out too. So here's my question, and it
helped me out with this, because you are the economist extraordinary.

Speaker 7 (34:55):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Sometimes people can flate inflation with also the rise and
grocery or your gasoline, or hot mortgage rates and rents,
all that fuel, gas, all that. But really the inflation
and the rise in inflation doesn't include the housing, the fuel,
or the food, does it.

Speaker 8 (35:16):
Well, there are different measures. The reason there's a little confusion.
I'm not surprised because people do get confused about this.
There's various different measures of inflation. What you're talking about
is the so called core inflation. And it never made
a lot of sense to me because you are excluding,
as you said, things like food and energy. Well, see
that's what was most money on. So what's the point
of excluding that from the calculations. But I got to

(35:39):
tell you though, that if you know, look, the good
news is the inflation rate has come down a lot,
and you know, we're now at about three percent inflation,
whereas it you know, went up to nine percent at
the high point. But on the other hand, those twenty
percent increase in costs, those are embedded into the system,
you know. In other words, every time you go to
the grocery store, every time you go to the to

(36:02):
you know, fill up their tank, you're paying you know,
a dollar a gallon more. And that's one of the
reasons people are feeling financially stressed. And I've got to
tell you. People say, well, the FED should be cutting
interest rates, and maybe, you know, I would now object
to that, but I don't think the problem is the
FED right now. I think it's Congress and the White
House are spending way way too much money, and they're

(36:23):
they're putting America in a big, big hole. And so
you know, the best thing to do right now would
be for Congress to make some very dramatic cuts in
the size of our government. I mean, my goodness, we're
spending seven trillion dollars now yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
Yeah, So your final question for you. We went on
a roller coaster ride this week with a market way
up and then way down, all that talk about a recession. Steve,
your reaction to what happened on the market.

Speaker 8 (36:47):
I think the market through a temper tantrum because we've
got a lousy jobs report on Friday, and so I
think what's happening is the inflation rates starting to come down,
but the economy is really softening. You see that in
the bad numbers on construction, manufacturing, business services. So you know,
the problem is even the best if you look at
the you know, the government jobs report of the last

(37:10):
nine months, a big percentage of the jobs have been
in government and healthcare. And that's not what we want.
We want, you know, people producing things. We don't want
to see this this crazy idea where we're just going
to be you know, look, we can't go forward with
everybody working for the government, right. That's not going to
work very well.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
No, it is not going to work very well. Some
amazing numbers in that story that Steve shared, and really
Donald Trump was the middle class president absolutely. I mean
the numbers prove it.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
And thanks Steve more enough for joining us on the
show because what we didn't when I didn't get to
ask him, but I want to point out to listeners,
is it the same data from the Census Bureau that
shows how much household income increased during Trump's time more
than the last three presidents that's Biden now and the
two before that, Obama and Bush. This is the This
is the data that I think is incredibly important when

(38:01):
we talk about the middle class income gains for minorities
and female headed households, we're larger under mister Trump. Poverty
rates also fell faster under Trump than any other president.
Well think about that. That is you know, everybody gets
so wound up on personalities and everything else, and we're
gonna talk about warm and fuzzy VP picks and all
this other stuff. Honestly, when Robert hits the road, Donald

(38:24):
Trump and his tax plan, his leadership in the White
House did more for the everyday American than any of
these other presidents.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Yeah, I'm pretty amazing. All right, More coming up here
on the Roden greg Show in Utah's Talk Radio one
O five to nine can RS. When we come back,
we'll talk about the Democratic campaign strategy to hate men.
That's coming up on Utah's Talk Radio one oh five
nine KNRS live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Don't forget
the podcast as well. We uploaded every night soon as

(38:55):
the show is over at seven o'clock, so we invite
you to stay tuned. All right, let's talk about the
Democratic Party any Madison Brooks, who right for the Federalists,
wrote an article today about this. The Democratic campaign strategy
for twenty twenty four involves hating men.

Speaker 6 (39:16):
Hmm.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Do you see that happening, mister Hughes.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
I do think there's a stigma to being a man.
I think masculinity has the word toxic placed in front
of it now, which I think is I don't think.
I think masculinity should look at a ying and yang
in life. You have and I know him being general,
but women are nurturers and men are protectors, and I
think it's worked out well. I think, you know, human

(39:41):
history has had a thing going here, and I don't
think it should be demonized. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think
the attack on men has been going on for quite
some time.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yeah, I believe. I believe right now, if you're a
white man, or if you are married, the Democratic Party
does want to anything to have anything.

Speaker 8 (40:02):
To do with you.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Yeah, it's true. Well, I mean that maybe you know, I.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Don't know if you agree with the marriage side, but
I think they're against families. I don't know if they
believe in families.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Yeah, well, I just don't think they had come. I
don't think. I think that they have perpetuated a narrative
that say, for women, if you wanted to be realizing
your potential, if you want to be your best self,
you would never a get married, you'd never have children,
you would be a professional person. And I think that
there has been that narrative for a long time, and

(40:33):
I just think it's getting louder and louder. And for
some reason, being a mother, or being married, having a family,
being parents has been framed as holding you down or
holding you back, or living a lesser life than you
would if you didn't have those things going on in
your life. Which what an incredible lie that is. Well,

(40:55):
this whole, this whole thing.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
I mean, here's an example, Greg that I noticed this
whole whatever it was just weird white dudes for Kamala. Yeah,
and that the event first of all, was deeply weird.
I mean, and I think it was disguised, you know,
guys disguised in trucker hats, yes, you know, and plaid

(41:19):
shirts and pleading with other men to vote for Kamala.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
But watch your language, watch how you speak. Don't say
anything you know that that could be seen as rude.
Because here is here's a here's a report, this is
this is what the so they need. Look, it's all
math campaign elections, right, you need to math. So the
Kamala Harris campaigns looking out there and they're saying, look,
we got working class men that we got to attract

(41:45):
our way. Okay, but they don't to your point, they
don't like them. They don't they don't want anything to
do with them. So they come up with this white
dudes for for Kamala and all that. Well, they're here.
If you were a fly on the wall, here's a
report about how they were discussing what they're going to
do to try and attract the working class white swing voter.

(42:06):
It says that almost immediately after Biden dropped out her team,
Kamala's team concluded that it most likely had to find
as a running mate a middle aged white man for
many reasons, just like Barack Obama chose Biden as his
running mate. This is the quote. It's not rocket science,
said a person familiar with Harris's campaign. Let's just face it,

(42:27):
there's a lot of sexist, racist white dudes out there
in America who don't like Trump but just need a
little extra validation. And that is what they think of you. Wow,
if you're an everyday working class male, they think you're racist,
they think you're sexist, and they're hoping you don't like

(42:48):
Trump and they want to just in the most condescending way,
give you a little validation so that you'll vote for them.
And how do they do that. They put a camo
hat on Governor A. Walls.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Yeh, yeah, Well, let's talk about the whole had thing.
I mean, how many incidents around the country if you
aren't aware, the Democratic Party is now marketing camouflage hats,
which Governor Tim Watson has been seen wearing. And it's
now what for Kamala I don't even know what it
says on their hat, that's it's yeah, cam Arison Walls

(43:17):
for you know, Harrison Wall. How much grief did people
wearing Trump hats take when they started wearing it?

Speaker 1 (43:24):
And it's any of them, like if you had a
cameo hat on. You had the ruling class, like I said,
the social engineering oligarchs rolling their eyes at you, thinking
that you're the Hillbillies and you're the three tooth idiots
that you know they have to go and socialize and
plan your life because you know, self determinations beyond your ability.
And now here they are. They got those cameo hats,

(43:46):
are flying them around, even their white dudes. For for
Kamala looks a lot like Make America Great in terms
of its fun. It doesn't the trucker hat. They're using
trucker hats. Okay, that's that's what what Trump has used.
So they're going after the model. They're going after all that.
I just don't think, as you obviously, there's no authenticity
to what they're doing. They're dressing things up that aren't real.

(44:07):
They're trying to pretend. And I think that that on
the Trump side, there's nothing to pretend like it. If
it's rough, if it's rough around the edges, that is
about as authentic as you get, isn't it.

Speaker 7 (44:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Well, I love this quote that was leaked out and
I think leaked purposely from the organizer of the whole
white dudes for Kamala weird video that they put together.
He's an organizer called Ross Rokeetto kind of like that name,
Ross Rokeetto. Right, here's what he was quoted as saying.
Throughout American history, there's a lot of evidence to suggest

(44:40):
that when white men organize, it's often with pointy hats on,
and that doesn't end well.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
And I'm fifty four years old. I've never I've never
been around any point he hats. We've been, you know,
we have been around tons of guys. We've had guy trips.
These are the kinds of stereotypes and this is the
type of stuff that they want to say, even even
Kamala Harris's husband who just railed on himself just you know,
the self, you know, just flogging himself about you know,

(45:09):
male masculinity, toxic masculinity. It's so terrible, terrible, We're just
terrible people. We have to be better, we have to
and any you know, you find out that on his
first wife he was run around with the nanny.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
And then she went and got an abortion because of
what happened. Toxic that masculinity. Right, The word is that
Kamala is fuming that that story got out.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
Yes she is, well she should be fuming, as we
all of us should be feeling a little lucky that
this story even exists as a story, especially for a
guy that has just railed about being more sensitive and
more caring and just not this vulgar man. How could
you be that way? And then what does he do? He?
You know, he's he's a misbehaving misbehaving.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
Just just a little bit.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
So, I don't know, I'm not happy with It's all
lip service all the I think, honestly, Rod, especially when
you see it from Target, and you see it from corporations,
all of this virtue signaling, all of this, it's all
meant to say, look how good I am, Look how
special I am, while they're not. Yeah, you know, while

(46:18):
they're not acting that way. It's almost like I want
you to look over here and see all these important
social thing causes I care about, while over on the
other side you're doing something that's completely you know, hypocritical
to what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
Don't look all right now, when we come back, we'll
open up the phones. Do you think that the Democrats
in this country hate men? Do you get that sense?
Eight eight eight five seven oh eight zero one zero
triple eight five seven o eight zero one zero, or
on your cell phone dial pound two fifteen and say hey, Rod,
your calls and comments coming up on the Rod and
Gregg Show. Kamala Harris spoke to the media today. I

(46:52):
know now Donald Trump. Let's see, his news conference went
about an hour an hour in fifteen minutes, right, you
know how long she spoke to the media.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
How long?

Speaker 2 (47:00):
Less than two minutes.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
That's to be be expected. And the only reason she
went up next to that loud engine of that plane
she was talking like a librarian, was because she was
looking bad, hiding from and not answering media questions, and
him just standing there for an hour taking any error
as they wanted to throw or shoot. He was ready
to take him in and he was ready to turn volley.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
Yeah, yeah, two minutes. That's well. She now she has
agreed to that September tenth debate on abach.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
She wouldn't agreed anymore, which no, no, she.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
Backed off right away. This afternoon, she's already saying, I've
agreed to one.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
Yeah, that's all. See how that one?

Speaker 2 (47:37):
See how that one goes?

Speaker 4 (47:38):
All?

Speaker 2 (47:38):
Right, Now we've opened up the phones to you eight
eight eight five seven eight zero one zero or on
your cell phone dial pound two fifty and say hey Rod.
Is the Democratic campaign strategy this year to hate men?
Now what it's all about? In many ways. You look
at what they say, what they do. You may agree
or disagree. I tend to agree.

Speaker 8 (47:57):
I did too.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
I think I think the Democrats you don't like men.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
I just had an epiphany, you did, I did, which
was for the same sentiment that the Democrats dislike men,
is exactly the same sentiment that the person that worked
at bud Light wanted to change the image of bud
Light because there were too many frat boys. There are
too many guys like bud Light, So they wanted to
change its image because they couldn't stand it, nearly killing

(48:21):
the company in the process.

Speaker 8 (48:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
Sure, it's the same mindset. They just could not stand
who it was that liked bud Light, and so they
tried to change through their commercials the image of bud Light,
and they almost lost the whole brand.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
Eight eight eight five seven eight zero one zero, on
your cell phone dial pound two fifty and say hey Rod.
The Democratic campaign strategy in twenty twenty four. Is it
hating men? And do you feel that way. Let's go
to Jeremy in Brigham City tonight, who wants to weigh
in on this. Hi, Jeremy, how are you?

Speaker 5 (48:55):
Thanks?

Speaker 15 (48:55):
Rod and Greg. You guys are awesome. I love your show.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
Thanks Jeremy, Thank you, Jeremy.

Speaker 15 (49:01):
Of course, the Democrats hate men. They hate masculinity because
a real man provides, protects, and presides and that's what
real men do. And they don't want that from men.
They want that from the centralized government. They want to
take cradle to grave, want to take care of everybody
cradle to grave, which is communism.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
Yep, here here If they could hear, if those leftists
heard what you just said, Jeremy, they'd be screaming and
just out of instinct. It would just be like like
holy water on a vampire. They'd be ah. They couldn't
be able to handle it because they don't want.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Okay, this is my toxic max filinity coming through you
ready for this?

Speaker 1 (49:41):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (49:42):
Here my mother, bless her heart, small little French woman
stood about five foot four. It's sweet, sweet lady, been
dead for a number of years, always taught her son's chivalry.
Opened the door for women. Yes, you know, you know
when you're walking down the street, you walk on the
street side protect the woman. You know she you know

(50:02):
you always you always showed respect for that.

Speaker 12 (50:04):
Right.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
Can I tell you what drives me nuts? And maybe
maybe maybe it's just my old ways because I am
getting up there. Are you don't agree or disagree with that?
You should come back and say, no, Roger, you're as
young as ever.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
No, I agree you are you are. I'm getting there's
dirt out there that's younger than you, I think, but
I'm not. I wasn't going to say it. You just
pulled it out of me. Okay.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
When I see and this may not bother you, but
you tell me if it does. When I see two
people in a car, you know where I'm going with this, right,
We've brought this up on the show and the young
woman is driving and the young guy is a passenger.
It drives me nuts.

Speaker 5 (50:45):
We have we have.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
Remember the driver Chauven is pig for saying that.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
No, but we have to be careful. We learned a
lot last time we took our toes in here. Remember
bringing this Adam, we had a veteran had p TSD
because he was taking his hum V around and he
had his wife drive because he was But.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
That's okay, I under Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
Another guy that was the UPS driver is something that
was dealing with traffic all day long and he just
can't take it when he wants to drive somewhere. We
already heard this all right now, I'm not you're I
do not remember that. Yeah, yeah, we had, we had
this discussion.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
Okay, another observation, I guess okay, the most aggressive drivers
out on the road today are young women.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
Nah, no, no, nope, I totally. They are clueless. They
are paying attention. They're not aggressive, they're clueless. They're just
just trying to get there. Are people that will make
a left hand turn from the right lane only because like, oh,
I was supposed to go left there, and they don't care.
They're just just cutting the wheel near a turn. Or

(51:49):
they'll just stop and mill the road because they're about
to miss their turn and so let's just come to
a complete stop. But that's that is inattentive driving, of
which I think I've seen a trend and a gender dominance.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Are we in trouble?

Speaker 1 (52:06):
Yeah we are. We shouldn't even go here. I don't
know how I let you drag me into this discussion
on this I actually I was hoping you would say
for anyone that if you have if you are dating
young men out there, or if you have a significant other,
and do you let your date get offended if you
open the door, you know, for them on the day
the door. If you're a dad and some kids coming

(52:27):
to pick up your daughter for a date and they
honk the horn, they don't come and knock on the door,
that's a wrong move in my world.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
It's sure, It's all right. More of your calls and
comments coming up right here on the rod or catch you.
As we talked about the Democrats and there let's hate
men campaign strategy. Next on Utah's Talk Radio one O
five nine k n RS, we're talking about the Democrats
strategy to h hate men. Well they hate men, they don't,

(52:53):
but they can't really come out and say it. They
saying it in so many ways, but they're.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
Trying to trick men. They're like, look, they're racist, they're
they're sexist. There, we don't like them, but we we
need to give them a little validation so they won't
vote for Trump. They're really saying that out loud. I'm
reading that from a quote from one of their campaign people.
That's that's where they put them in the grand scheme
of things. And that's why the Tim Walls pick is
so patronizing, because they're just trying to pick someone that

(53:19):
they think they can dress up and portray a certain
way without any substance anything that a man would even
really care about.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
By way of issues, let's go to Jay and Avon
and see what Jay has to say tonight here on
the Rodden, Greg show, Jay, how are you? Thanks for
joining us?

Speaker 7 (53:37):
Good?

Speaker 12 (53:38):
How you doing?

Speaker 2 (53:39):
We're doing well? Thank you for asking hear me? We
can okay, yeah, we sure can't. Go ahead.

Speaker 12 (53:46):
Well, I've always followed you guys with the Greg's p
RP and my daddy stunt saying that's that's how you
brothers doing good? Yeah, you know, I look at things differently.
I hate to throw a curveball in here, but it's

(54:07):
about time for a little comic release this Uh this
Uh Tim for tampon's waltz. That's that I've caught wind
of Uh as a governor putting free tampons and in
boys rooms and schools and stuff. I don't know what

(54:29):
that messaging is about you know, it's almost like the
Life of Brian where the Loretta skit work. Steve wants
to be.

Speaker 6 (54:43):
Lady.

Speaker 7 (54:43):
Yeah, a woman. Why why would you want to do that?

Speaker 2 (54:47):
Stan, Well, that's a great question and she does. All right, Jade,
thank you. Let's see we get more and more calling
with Jonathan in Lehigh tonight. Jonathan, welcome to The Rodden
Gregg Show.

Speaker 8 (55:00):
Hey, Ron and Greg.

Speaker 17 (55:02):
Yeah, I just want to make the comment and guys
to talking about the Democrats, Uh, hating man. I don't
think they hate then. I think they are just totally
anti family. If you're a married mother, that's unacceptable. You know,
babies are unacceptable.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
It's shifts.

Speaker 17 (55:17):
Yeah, it's just craziness. You have to be outside the
the you know, typical family structure to be within you know,
their accept.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
Yeah, you're right, you're right, Jonathan, anti family.

Speaker 1 (55:29):
I agree. I mean they and it's it's anti family,
but it's also I still am a traditionalist. If you're
on a date, I think the guy should pay. Yeah,
and there's a lot of people on the left that
will tell women don't let them pay. Yeah, it's offensive
to do that. I probably should appreciate that in the pocketbook.
But no, I think I think that's a traditional role,

(55:51):
and I think that they tried to they're trying to
erase those roles that are that are different, a little
bit different.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
Yeah, that's true, all right. Our number three, what did
Tim Walls due to the state of Minnesota. Wait, you'll
find out what happened in that state with old Cudley himself.
That's coming up Our number three, Rodin greg on Talk
Radio one oh five nine, dan Us, it's gone by
very fast. There's so much fun to be with, you
know what. I don't know if I'm fun to be with,

(56:19):
But I love the truth bombs that we get to drop.
I love the truth we get to tell because you
don't you don't get to hear it much otherwise in
this market, at least send to further that endeavor.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
Rode. I think we have a very important interview coming
up right now to talk to someone who can tell
us a little bit more. We've been talking a lot
about this Tim Walls, a Walls governor a Walls the
issues but also his character issues that have emerged with
his maybe embellishing his military service and combat where he
wasn't in combat. But I think this is will be

(56:51):
illuminating for the listeners to hear more about.

Speaker 7 (56:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
Well, joining us on our news micer line right now
is Nick Solheim. Nick is the co founder and chief
operating officer for an organization called American Moment, and he's
joining us on our any hour newsmaker line right now.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
Nick.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
How why are you welcome to the Rod and Greg Show.

Speaker 7 (57:11):
I'm doing very well, guys, Thanks for having me.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
All right, Nick, take us to Minnesota. What has the
governor done to that state over the past several years? Nick,
or we probably should have asked what hasn't he done?

Speaker 7 (57:22):
Yeah, I mean it's it's funny, you know, you guys
talk about Governor A. Walls.

Speaker 5 (57:27):
The nickname that I've really liked recently is timpon Tim,
which was brought up in another another interview that I
did yesterday. But no, Tim, Tim Walls has been a
disaster for the state of Minnesota. I mean Minnesota for
those who don't know, I mean it has the largest
population of Somali immigrants in the entire world.

Speaker 7 (57:51):
You know, it's a very large.

Speaker 5 (57:52):
Percentage of Minnesota's population, and it has grown extensively over
the last couple of years.

Speaker 7 (57:59):
The governor Walls has been in power.

Speaker 5 (58:03):
And then all of this obviously was accelerated by the
BLM riots that occurred that started in Minneapolis in twenty
twenty and.

Speaker 7 (58:11):
Spread all the way across the country.

Speaker 5 (58:15):
And then there's obviously, you know, as has come to
light in the national media over the last couple of days,
some controversy regarding his military record, which has been you know,
a matter of record.

Speaker 7 (58:27):
In the state of Minnesota since twenty eighteen. This was
originally revealed. But I think he has some tough questions
to answer over the next couple of days.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
You know, you point out in your article that he's
been allotted as is the guy for the blue collar American,
and we've seen this as this narrative that's just all
about words. It's just word salads. He's macrony and cheese,
He's a visit to the hardware store, on and on
and on. But when I look at the state of Minnesota,

(58:58):
and I look at those counties and look look at
the votes from twenty twelve to today, I don't see
a single migration of every day, hard working class Minnesota
and the working people migrating over I see some very,
very blue blue large populated state counties in Minnesota, the
vote his way and the rest are just increasingly getting

(59:19):
at least amongst the working class and men, it's becoming
more red. Are you seeing that as well?

Speaker 5 (59:27):
Yeah, I think you make a great point. You know,
I'll give Governor Walls this. He's very good at putting
on his folksy act, you know, putting on a plaid
shirt and some you know, cowboy boots and his new
camo hat and going up to these rural districts, you know,
and claiming to be one of those people. But a

(59:47):
look at his governing record just shows that that's absolutely
not true. This guy is a total radical.

Speaker 12 (59:54):
You know.

Speaker 5 (59:55):
He pushed a proposal through the Minnesota legislature to put
tampons and.

Speaker 7 (01:00:00):
In boys' restrooms in public schools.

Speaker 5 (01:00:03):
Minnesota has one of the most radical abortion laws in
the entire country. Minnesota basically allows abortion up until birth,
which is something that's obviously not agreed upon by people that.

Speaker 7 (01:00:17):
Live in rural areas in Minnesota. And you know, as
you say, I think we can see all of this through.

Speaker 5 (01:00:26):
How the vote has changed in Minnesota over time, and
some of this sort of predates Governor Walls. I mean,
the Iron Range you know, up in northeastern Minnesota turned
red for the first time in several decades in twenty
sixteen due to Trueman of the People President Donald Trump

(01:00:49):
running in that election. But I think Tim Wallas is
going to have to run pretty far away from his
record to be able to win rural voters in this country.

Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
Nick, let's talk about what happened with the George Floyd
riots and what happened there. I mean, has Minnesota, Minneapolis,
have they turned things around? What has happened within in
that community? And what about police in that community? Are
they still disrespected they were the way they were at
following the death of George Floyd.

Speaker 7 (01:01:20):
Yeah, I mean, if you know, if you look at
the couple of years, you know, post the riots.

Speaker 5 (01:01:25):
So so the last four years, the Twin cities you know,
as we call Minneapolis and Saint Paul have sort of
spiraled into a war zone.

Speaker 7 (01:01:35):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:01:35):
Homicides are up over seventy one percent just in the
state of Minnesota. Carjackings are up over five hundred percent
just in the city of Minneapolis.

Speaker 7 (01:01:45):
And something that's been.

Speaker 5 (01:01:46):
You know, pretty wide widely reported in several outlets including
Fox News, et cetera, is that, particularly in the city
of Minneapolis, they have had an incredibly difficult time recruiting
police officers because of the absolute disrespect not only city officials,
but statewide officials have had for the police, including you know,

(01:02:08):
prosecuting them for what they believe to be you know,
justified stops, and so they just have no respect for
their police, and you know, while they're trying to cut
funding for the police while trying to recruit guys to
come fill in for the guys that are currently there
but leaving. It's just been an absolute disaster. They've lost

(01:02:30):
entire control of their city.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
Nick, you're a thought leader, You're observing, You're watching all
the everything that's going on on the show. I've read
a quote from unidentified sources within the Harris campaign when
they were looking for a running mate for her, and
they it's the most cynical approach you can find. They say,
it's not rocket science. Let's just face it. There's a
lot of sexist, racist, white dudes out there in America

(01:02:55):
who don't like Trump but just need a little extra validation.
So what we have in front of us is just
this I don't know pageantry of you know, he's an
everyday guy, but you don't have a record that even
resembles the everyday American or the hard working Americans of
this country. You don't see an electorate in Minnesota that
it's resonated with if you look at all those counties.

(01:03:18):
I just want your opinion. Do you think this is
going to sell easily with the American people? Do you
think it's going to be difficult to put his record
in front of voters, or do you think that this
dog doesn't hunt and it's going to be pretty quick
for people to see this guy's not who's as advertised.

Speaker 5 (01:03:35):
I mean, I think the thing that's important to note
about what you're saying is, you know, specifically about the
Harris campaign believing that there are a bunch of like racist,
evil white men out there, is that Tim Waltz believes
those things too, even being you know, an evil.

Speaker 7 (01:03:52):
Old white man.

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:03:55):
So, I mean, really that like I would go back
and look at his statements, you know, saying things like
when I'm really sad, you know, I just remember that
there is a congresswoman Ilhan Omar, and that like makes
my day.

Speaker 7 (01:04:10):
It makes me feel better than anything else. I mean,
this is a this is a guy that hates the people,
honestly hates them.

Speaker 5 (01:04:18):
Hate the people that live that live in his own state,
everyone outside of the urban area of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
And I think that that the Harris campaign, as they
continued to do on the top of the ticket, they're
going to have to run far away from everything that
they've been running on the last few years.

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
Nick question, what is the relationship between him and the media?
I mean, is are they all supportive of the sky?
Is he criticized quite often? What is the relationship between
Tim Walls and the media. They're in the Minnesota.

Speaker 18 (01:04:50):
Area, Yes, specifically in Minnesota, they have this very weird
like fawning, you know, just of adulation for for Governor Wallas.

Speaker 5 (01:05:02):
You know, finally it's like normal guy that supposedly doesn't
hate democracy, that's gonna that's gonna come and save us,
you know. And I think the real downturn that uh
Minnesota has taken in the last couple of years shows
that that's not the case. I mean, I was watching
a clip yesterday of Michelle Bachman, you know, the former

(01:05:23):
candidate for president who was also a congresswoman in the
sixth district in Minnesota, and she was.

Speaker 7 (01:05:30):
Talking about how Governor Waltz is the only.

Speaker 5 (01:05:32):
Governor that has presided over a exodus of Minnesota for
other states.

Speaker 7 (01:05:39):
I mean, it's it's it's an absolute disaster.

Speaker 5 (01:05:41):
Nobody wants to live there anymore because it's it's you know,
our cities have become such dumpster fires, and you don't
have real freedom of speech, and to let people loot
loot your business. I I just think it's absolute craziness.
And then and then you look at the you know,
the relationship that he's had thus far with the national media.
I mean one of the cover stories they were running

(01:06:03):
in Politico today is about, you know, how how Tim Walls.

Speaker 7 (01:06:07):
Dresses shows that he's like a man of the people.

Speaker 5 (01:06:10):
I mean, these are people that haven't even you know,
taken a critical look at Kamala Harris.

Speaker 7 (01:06:16):
Why she hasn't done an interview with the media in
over eighteen days.

Speaker 5 (01:06:20):
Do you really expect that they're gonna, you know, not
hold Walls to that same week standard.

Speaker 2 (01:06:26):
Yeah, they're hiding them.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
That's why to you and me and Rod, that's why
we're here.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
Hey, Nick, great conversation. Thanks for a few minutes of
your time tonight.

Speaker 7 (01:06:35):
Yeah, thank you guys very much.

Speaker 2 (01:06:37):
The rest of your night, all right, same to you, Sir.
Nick Solheim, he is a the co founder and chief
operating officer of American Moment, talking about what life is
like in Minnesota and what it's been like under Governor
Tim Walls. I love getting the local perspective, you know, and.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
I and we've not heard this that that they've had
a net migration out of Minnesota and that's and you know,
that's what's happening in California first time ever, and now
you're seeing that in Minnesota. And it's I think that
these these liberal extreme left positions are leaving people unsettled.
They're financially harmed, at their public safeties at risk, and
they're getting out. They're just leaving. Look at the states

(01:07:15):
that are growing, they're red. Look at states that are
shrinking their blue.

Speaker 2 (01:07:18):
High taxes, no figure, high taxes, high crime, high regulations.
I mean, if you're a business, why would you want
to do business in those states? Now you'll hear people
on the other side say, well, Target is here and
three M is here. Okay, but look at Target and
the woke company that has become. Yeah, that's their home territory.

Speaker 6 (01:07:37):
It is.

Speaker 1 (01:07:38):
And the worst part about it is when they all leave, Well,
can you figure out why you're leaving and not bring
those politics to the state that you land in Utah,
we don't need it, you know, we don't want those
those boats.

Speaker 6 (01:07:51):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:07:51):
When we come back on the Rod on Greg show
in Utah's Talk Radio one o five nine, Canter s
how the media used to treat Kamala Harris. That's coming
up back right here on Utah's Talk Radio one oh
five nine. Knrs. All right, let's talk a little bit
more about Kamala Harris. So interesting Greg as to it was,
what how long she about? Eighteen nineteen days ago where

(01:08:14):
members of the media did not think a whole lot
about Kamala Harris, And boy of times changed.

Speaker 1 (01:08:20):
I mean it was it was so pronounced their distaste
for Kamala Harris that in their criticism of Biden, it
would always flow into and look who he has as
a vice president, Look who he picked. It has to
be one of his worst picks. She was part of
his problem. Yeah, she was. She was one of the
examples of why he was so bad. When they were
trying to boot him right, and all of a sudden,

(01:08:43):
like a trojan horse getting rolled right into the you know,
city walls, within the city walls, we have a brand
new Kamala.

Speaker 2 (01:08:50):
Yeah, well, isn't an interesting Greg? Remember was it last
fall or maybe earlier this year? Talk of Biden dumping Kamala? Yes,
remember that talky talk of dumping and finding somebody who's
more popular, who's more competent.

Speaker 9 (01:09:03):
Than she is.

Speaker 1 (01:09:04):
Remember all the leaks out there that, oh, she doesn't
talk to them, they don't talk to each other. She's
mad at him because he's put the border on her shoulder.
She doesn't want it. I mean, that has never been
a very healthy relationship President vice president. And you know,
all of a sudden, we're just supposed to have amnesia.
We're not supposed to remember any of this. But I

(01:09:25):
think there's a paper trail or a video trail of
at least the what the conventional wisdom was about Kamala
Harris not that long ago.

Speaker 2 (01:09:34):
There are reports to say that you have the lowest
approval rating of any vice president.

Speaker 1 (01:09:38):
Well, there are pulls that also say I have great
approval ratings. Swing daughters don't like Harris.

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
How big a drag is Kamala Harris on the tech.

Speaker 7 (01:09:47):
She's a pretty big drag. I think she was arguably
Biden's worst political decision. They don't like her. There's lots
of reasons they don't like her.

Speaker 4 (01:09:53):
Kamala Harris's approval rating is now at twenty eight percent,
which is an historic low for any modern.

Speaker 14 (01:09:59):
Vice We're hearing it from mainstream media, one outlet after another,
one league after another. The Kabla Harris is the worst
vice president ever, the worst Polish aspectition ever.

Speaker 7 (01:10:12):
We don't see the vice president. What people are saying
to me, and I'm sure they're saying it too. Where's
the vice president?

Speaker 8 (01:10:18):
Some might US officials feeling that she came off looking
unprepared for inevitable questions about when she might visit the
southern border.

Speaker 7 (01:10:25):
We've been to the border. You haven't been to the border,
and I haven't been to Europe. And I don't understand
the point that you're making.

Speaker 16 (01:10:34):
The point that lester Holt was making was was obvious
to anyone else who was watching this interview, which is
that the issues at the border are inextricably linked with
the portfolio that she's been given.

Speaker 2 (01:10:46):
Is it any wonder, Greg the average American in this
country anymore does not trust the media they are I'm
just listening to these guys, and these are prominent Democrats,
many of you know. I mean, there's Joe Scarborough and
Lester Holt and all these well known Democratic members of
the media and the Democrats themselves who are so two faced.

(01:11:08):
Eighteen days ago, yep, they were calling her a horrible pick.
You know, she's not competent to be president. How could
Joe Biden have picked this woman? Now they're singing her praises.

Speaker 1 (01:11:20):
That last clip where she was saying, where you heard
that the female voice saying she didn't understand Lester Holt's question.
It has everything and that's from CNN. That's not from Fox,
that's not from that is not from a that is
from CNN. They they could not stand her as the
vice president they were you could hear just all of

(01:11:40):
that has disappeared, all of that doesn't it's I mean,
if that's not propaganda, what if what we're seeing about
Kamala Harris right now is not just shameless propaganda, then
what were they lying? Then you cannot live in the
same universe believing and expressing the opinions we just played
for you, and then just a month later, or however

(01:12:02):
long say that she's the greatest potential president and greatest
vice president we've ever had. One of these, one of
these stated facts are untrue. I think it's the new whitewash,
the new the new, new and improved trojan horse getting
wheeled in that we're supposed to accept as the real deal.
I think they're just so disingenuous. But do do the public.

(01:12:23):
I know our listeners remember, but does the public remember
what they what these what they were saying about her?

Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
Well, my question is do they remember a good point
and did they hear it in the first place?

Speaker 1 (01:12:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:12:33):
You know, now these are I mean, there's some well
known Democratic strategists on that montage of audio sound bites
who are condemning her. That's why I look at this
and say, you guys are so two faced. One minute
you hate her, one minute you call her a drag
on the ticket. One minute you're saying Joe Biden needs
to find a replacement. Now you're saying she is great.

(01:12:55):
She has really touched you know, she has brought joy
and happiness to the campaign. Are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
It's so bad. I have an article in here, we're
not going to get to it where TikTok thinks that
her laugh is actually popular. They actually argue that, no, no,
you know this laugh and how she giggles when she's nervous,
that's actually really good on TikTok. That's truly playing well.
There's not one thing about her that they're not twisting
into the greatest quality and benefit that she is. But

(01:13:26):
we never saw her in any kind of important role.
She never did any heavy lifting as vice president. And
I think there's a reason why you.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
Mean this laugh. This is the most unseerious person running
greg for the most serious position in this world today.

(01:13:56):
And what does she do cackle and laugh? Watch your
I mean, every time is there a moment where she
gets serious and doesn't laugh?

Speaker 8 (01:14:05):
So I was.

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
I was, actually, by the way, I'm not against laughing.
I love that we all like that laughing, but not
to cover up your weakness. Everything you've said is true.

Speaker 1 (01:14:14):
But here's what is blowing my mind. We saw the
finally because she's getting pressured by Trump having a long
press conference. You know, throw him any question you want,
He'll take anything, and he'll return volley, So you have
that candidate. So now she knows that she can't keep hiding.
So she gets off the plane, and you know, with
the decibel level so loud, with the engine, she she
answers and dodges some questions about two minutes worth and

(01:14:37):
keeps going. That wasn't impressive. But if you go back
when the hostages from Russia were released, Okay, she is
the nominee. At that point, people haven't heard from her yet.
She's on the tarmac with President Biden. And I've always
attributed a lot of this word salads and her nervous
laughing to being unprepared. She's always mad at her staff

(01:15:00):
ninety two percent turnover of staff. I've always felt like
she's just walking in, not ready for anything, and then
she gets caught. Well, if you're now the nominee, I
would think you'd be so prepared to share a few
words in a moment like that where these hostages have
been exchanged, these hostages that have been prisoners have been
held in Russia or coming home. And her comments were

(01:15:21):
just more of the same.

Speaker 2 (01:15:22):
The power of diplomacy is I'll see what the power
of diplomacy is all about.

Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
Okay, and it's diplomatic.

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
Yeah, it's diplomatic. It's powerful, knowing the power of diplomacy.
It is just and it was just exactly what we've seen.

Speaker 1 (01:15:38):
And so she didn't get any better even when the
mantle of responsibility and being the nominee was bestowed upon her.
Not she didn't win it by any primary or election,
but she was given it. She's still not any good.
She's still doing this, all right?

Speaker 2 (01:15:52):
Or coming up with Rod and Gregg right here on
Utah's Talk Radio one O five nine an rs Jesse Kelly,
big fan of ours. Yes, we like Jesse too. He
will he will be coming your way at seven o'clock tonight.
Let's break from politics and talk what's going on up
in space.

Speaker 1 (01:16:09):
Greg.

Speaker 2 (01:16:09):
This is what a bizarre story this is turning out
to be for these two astronauts.

Speaker 1 (01:16:15):
Man, if I was one, I was one of these
astronauts on this Boeing star liner. Yeah, okay, this was
supposed to be an eight day cruise. This feels like
Gilligan's Island on steroids.

Speaker 7 (01:16:26):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:16:26):
They they had a through two hour tour, three hour tour.
This is an eight day mission that they are now
on day what sixty three sixty three. Yeah, and they're
telling them they might be there another what six months?

Speaker 2 (01:16:37):
Well they're talking about maybe not until February of next year.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
Oh, I'd be so mad twenty twenty. But what do
you do about it? Well, apparently there's a there's a
debate amongst Boeing and NASA in terms of if it's
safe enough to bring that thing back down. Yeah, well
I would if I were the astronauts up there, I'd
be saying, this conversation should have happened before you set
me up here. I mean, this isn't the time to

(01:17:02):
have this conversation. How come they can't have someone come
in and let them get out? Just let that thing
orbit till for whatever, you know, forever. Just you know
who they're talking to? Oh, elon Musk, huh, elon Musk.

Speaker 2 (01:17:14):
They may turn to Musk and say, can you get
your little rocket up there and get these people out
and bring them home? But can you imagine that you're
thinking eight days and now you're what sixty three days now?
And what if it goes for another six months? And
there's so many questions it's not reasonable.

Speaker 1 (01:17:33):
What do they have to eat? Yeah? So I saw
a video of them hugging some other people. I don't know.
If they had visitors stop by about a.

Speaker 2 (01:17:41):
Fist stuff, why wouldn't they would you want.

Speaker 5 (01:17:43):
To leave with?

Speaker 1 (01:17:43):
Yeah, I'd be like, hey, do you have a room
for me to come in?

Speaker 16 (01:17:45):
Here?

Speaker 1 (01:17:46):
They're two hundred and sixty two miles above the Earth
and it looks like a pretty big like it's not
a space station, but it looks like a pretty big starship.
I don't know what you call it, but I just
cannot believe that the mcare anical issues in their propulsion system,
the them not knowing if it can come back into

(01:18:06):
the atmosphere and stay all in one piece. I just
would be so ticked off. That's it. You know, I'm
not going to be an astronaut. Now I'm out. I'm out.
I'm tapping out. Yeah. Well no, well these two aren't
you know spring chickens either she's fifty, she's my she's
my age, isn't she she's she's no, she's older than me.

(01:18:26):
She's fifty eight. I'm fifty four age, yeah, sixty one
years old. These I don't know. I would be Yeah,
Bowe's not having a good year? Are they?

Speaker 7 (01:18:39):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:18:39):
Bowing?

Speaker 1 (01:18:40):
And a lot of whistleblowers like biting the dust on
them too. I wonder what's going on?

Speaker 2 (01:18:44):
That's the understatement of the year. But you know, how
do you bathe? How do you eat?

Speaker 8 (01:18:51):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:18:51):
What are they doing up there? I mean for sixty
days when they were playing on being there for eight
wouldn't you think they've done enough experiments that they should
be to come home now?

Speaker 1 (01:19:01):
I mean, what you know, these poor people, what's going on?
Let's just assume that, like the necessities are covered somehow.
I don't know how what. I don't know what they're eating.
I don't know what they're doing. How boring. I mean,
it's not big. It's not a lot of space in there.
There's no putting green, there's.

Speaker 2 (01:19:17):
No yeah, there's no I mean imagine there. But I
imagine there's like an exercise bike. I mean they must
have designed.

Speaker 5 (01:19:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:19:24):
I don't I don't see what they're doing. I you
can't even play a board game in here, because if
the pieces would float up, you can't play checkers, you
can't play chess. I's pieces would just move go up
in the air. They wouldn't even be.

Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
Able to do you play cards? But do you play
cards for sixty two.

Speaker 1 (01:19:41):
Days, sixty two till February of twenty five. This is
just unaccepted.

Speaker 2 (01:19:47):
These poor people. I hope they're being compensated very well.

Speaker 15 (01:19:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:19:51):
I wonder if there's a complaint box somewhere that they
can put their complaints. And they keep smiling every time
I see them. They have they look like they have
good attitude about it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:01):
What else are you going to have? If I was
up there, up the door and jump out.

Speaker 1 (01:20:06):
No, but I would be. I'd be a bit of
a swear bear. I'll tell you that I would not be.
You did not see the happy me if I was
supposed to be up there eight days. I'm that they're
sixty one and they're like, hey, we're thinking February twenty five,
we're gonna have this all worked out.

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
I'll lay money. Elon Musk come sure it comes to
the rescue, I hope.

Speaker 1 (01:20:23):
Because I just like, I just like how he's you know,
he's pretty much coming to the rescue and everything. I
think he's like, you know, I like the movie Iron
Man with Tony Stark. I think he's our our Tony Stark.
I think that's who Elon Musk is. I think he's
Tony Stark, And I like Tony Stark more than I
like Iron Man, So I like I like Tony Stark
the character. I think Elon Musk is that Tony Stark

(01:20:44):
of real life. Yeah, I think he is.

Speaker 2 (01:20:47):
Rodding Greg right here on Dog's Doctor Radio him on
our show. Yeah, only if he gives us a car. Well,
you're going to barter you think you are. You're in
a place to place. I don't have Barlin. You maybe
the richest man in the world, but coming on this
show is will top that. So we just we would
get the car and you can come on the show.

Speaker 1 (01:21:07):
It would be a big deal for him to have
us host him their show. Yeah, big deal for him. Yeah, sure,
all right.

Speaker 2 (01:21:15):
Final segment, Rod and Greg here on Utah It's Talk
Radio one oh five nine anrs. Tomorrow, we hope to
have Kolby Jenkins joining us the Supreme Court holding an
emergency hearing on a very interesting case I think in
that second Congressional District about people who have the right
to have their vote counted. That's right right now, it's
not being counted.

Speaker 1 (01:21:36):
It's a very interesting issue. You have over one thousand
ballots that voters had gone to the trouble of filling out.
They've never been opened. We don't no one knows who
they have voted for, so they have cast ballots. The
US Postal Services written policy is if you've put your
ballot in on and it's a ballot election ballot before
the last pickup, you will get a stamp that day.

(01:21:58):
There are stamps that were done that way that the
US Postal Service in Nevada, in Las Vegas when it
went there for the distribution stamped over the top of
thus made late. They have it written AFFI David's of
people that said they did it in a timely way
and complied with the law. It'll be interesting to see
if every voter's vote will count in a race where
one over one hundred and seven thousand people voted, and

(01:22:20):
that race is down to one hundred and seventy six votes.
You know, I don't know. I really don't know where
that'll go. I know that the courts are not inclined
to reverse outcomes. They don't they really look for process issues,
so they don't even have to get into it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:33):
But you've got to. You got to take a shot
at it.

Speaker 1 (01:22:35):
See what happens a thousand over one thousand ballots that
people voted, and nobody knows what who that would help?
Nobody knows.

Speaker 2 (01:22:42):
Nobody knows. A couple of final notes. Do you like
paper straws?

Speaker 7 (01:22:47):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:22:48):
I hate them. They get soggy, you know their paper.

Speaker 2 (01:22:54):
They're just awful, right, yes, Well, finally somebody has done
a study on them, and the news is not very
good for the paper straw industry. This was a study
about the worst for them. It is studied, it is
published a study on paper straws. After analyzing thirty nine
brands of straws. I didn't realize that were made that
many different brands. They made of various materials such as plastic, paper, glass,

(01:23:19):
stainless steel, in bamboo. The team found that paper straws
contained the most uh toxic substances. Of course, well how
about this, we're toxic for grand outline. Oh you know,
they everybody want us to go to plastics. So we
stopped chopping down trees and everything. And then what happens microplastics.
We're all drinking microplastics. It's all bad for us now,

(01:23:41):
you know, I just love it.

Speaker 1 (01:23:42):
They LORI us in and then they're gonna do the
same thing with these electric cars. I'm sure there's all
kinds of problems with how you get rid of the battery.

Speaker 2 (01:23:50):
They'll come on. Speaking of the climate, research shows that
girls often worry more about climate change compared to boys.
You know, I must say this. I just think women
tend to be more natural warriors than men. Yeah, would
you agree?

Speaker 1 (01:24:10):
Yeah, I have thoughts on that, but I don't want
to get in trouble from Queen Bee.

Speaker 2 (01:24:14):
But they do tend to worry a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:24:16):
I'm just going to tell you that these some of
these are what I call luxury issues and luxury beliefs.
When you're talking about something like the climate that you
know in eight you know in fifty years we're in
big trouble versus who's paying the mortgage or the rent,
Who's where's the food coming from, what's the job situation?
Looking like? Does the car work? I just think that
I just don't think a lot of people have the

(01:24:38):
luxury to worry about some of these doomsday that you're trying.

Speaker 2 (01:24:42):
To put trying to live and put food on the table.

Speaker 1 (01:24:44):
Aren't I mean, I think those are those are the
more I don't I would not have separated that by gender,
But I'm going to tell you that anybody that's wrapped
around the axle on on climate has, in my opinion,
is enjoying a good life to have luxury beliefs because
there's a lot of people stressed about a lot of
stuff that's that's gonna matter sooner.

Speaker 2 (01:25:06):
See, And I think that's why the younger generation that
we have today has more anxiety. I mean, they're they're
they're worried about everything, everything, and why they're getting it
from schools.

Speaker 1 (01:25:16):
Yeah, yeah, you should have seen it on.

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
The social media. I can't blame it all on schools,
but social media as well.

Speaker 1 (01:25:22):
My son when he was young, he said, Dad, we
got to use the you know, the recycle bin. And
he's really into it. And I said, you know, they're
putting that in the same.

Speaker 2 (01:25:30):
He was heartbroken. He was heartbroken. He couldn't believe it,
couldn't believe it all. Right, final story tonight. That's an
interesting one. Dog custody is the new divorce sticking point.

Speaker 1 (01:25:41):
Of course it is mean, of course it is because
it's another luxury belief. It's another luxury issue. You're going
to start fighting over the dog. Yeah, give me a break.

Speaker 2 (01:25:52):
Apparently, the story in the New York Post today says
we are now entering the dog days of divorce because
dogs are now a sticking point in people a custody
battle because.

Speaker 1 (01:26:04):
They probably don't have kids. They probably were was the
wrong way to go.

Speaker 2 (01:26:08):
So now they get their pets. Yeah, they've got the pets.
But apparently they're now hiring top attorneys are divorce attorneys
to figure out who gets the dog.

Speaker 1 (01:26:20):
Okay, well you know again, Now you have what three dogs? Yes?

Speaker 13 (01:26:25):
Two?

Speaker 1 (01:26:26):
I have two? Now two now, but by Queen Bee
has sisters who have dogs or once it does dogs,
so that dog Ralphie comes over all the time. You
do have three? I have three?

Speaker 2 (01:26:36):
Yeah, well we're a dog family for a long time.
We don't have dogs anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:26:40):
We're done, well, Chris says, she wants to be done.
But I don't know. I like my do I'm a
dog person. I like my dogs. Yeah, like Ruby the
most Ruby.

Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
You're gonna what's the other one's name? She probably won't
talk to night. Yeah, all right, head up, shoulders back.
May God bless you and your family. Thanks for joining
us today. Ron and Greg back with you tomorrow and
for have a good night everybody,
