Speaker 1 (00:00):
And new information out about the parents's terrorists. Yeah, at
school board and county health board meetiayah.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
That was a total scam. We knew it was skim
when they said it. It was the most offensive thing. But
we got the receipts.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Now.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
They were really trying to reverse engineers such a concept
and had some career people pushing back on them as thankfully.
But anyway, got that to go over violence over the
weekend against some of the Homeland Security agents go again
in New Jersey. I love that. Tom Homan and Christy
Nooma both said they're going to redouble their efforts in

(00:32):
that area. If you don't, it has the chilling effect
and does help you'll get more violence if it succeeds
in chilling their presence and their enforcement of the law.
So you have that going on. What else going on?
There's just a lot happening. Oh Hunter Biden, he went.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
On, Boy did he ever? I mean to the point,
we can't even air any of those sound just be
this bleep bleep. I mean you can't.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
You can't look at it. You can't look at these
lunatics running from mayor in New York City or Minneapolis.
So you can't look that way. If you look back,
you got Hunter Biden swearing up a storm about how
great as that is. That doesn't make any sense. They're stuck.

Speaker 1 (01:14):

We have that. But then we have to get into
this anniversary of six months, because probably the most auspicious
six months of an administration because they've got so many
on the to do list boxes checked. They've done so
much of what they promised when they campaigned. Present Trump's
campaign had a list of twenty core promises. Well, you
can you can check those boxes, and he's got more

(02:06):
to come. But there's a lot that's happened in six months.

Speaker 1 (02:09):

thicken it. Just give me the Basic with milk. Oh yeah,
cold glass of milk.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, I love those.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah. Now the other thing onto a more serious topic.
We are also celebrating the great decision ever made in
the American presidency. That's a superlative.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
It is one of the most important impactful decisions made today.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
It's the one year anniversary of Joe Biden dropping out
of the race.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yes, and I'm telling you that was riding on all
kinds of walls, not just a wall, but a lot
of walls. And there was even a what that was
where with the debate take place where there seemed to
be some kind of medical emergency in Vegas that they
covered up really well. But then George Coloney's like, man,
this guy thinks he's he's cuckoo for Coco Pops.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
I'm out and he remember we we we were just
returning from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, you and
I and as we headed home there started be rumblings.
There's a lot of pressure building all an old Joey boy,
and he's going to pull out of this thing, and
on and on and on and then I think it
was a Sunday afternoon. The words started coming out and

(04:56):
he took to the video and he forgot to endorse Kamala,
so I'd go back and do it a second time.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah. No, there was a lot of drama, a lot
of drama. In fact that is, which is a good segue,
but we can't share it with you. The big fit,
the big meltdown that Hunter Biden goes through in this podcast.
He just rips on you know what the problem with
America is? He didn't stay loyal to my dad. Yeah,
what's the problem that you? My dad had everything figured out,

(05:22):
everything was great, and then everybody George, he goes after
George clo Oh, he goes after George Clooney.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
I didn't know you could drop as many F bombs
and a sentence as he does.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Well. Yeah, like again, I think that's all performative because
I think he got some memo that if they just
swear a lot, they become cooler, and so he just
decides he's going to go He's really take that to
it to an extreme.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Well, one of the things he did admit today, now
this is new, no information that we're aware of, he
basically said that Dad Joe was on ambient during the
twenty twenty four man debate with tunnels.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
That's the case who was running it. That's the last
guy that he's ambient. You don't get that guy.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
He ambient kind of relaxes you doesn't he Yeah, he's
already hanging on to consciousness for dear life.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Why would you ever give that man ambient? That doesn't
even make sense to me. I think that's an excuse.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Well, the the White House doctor kem I think his
name of Tim O'Connor, the guy who took the fifth
last week as to whether or not he was mentally
fit to be president of the United States, never mentioned
that in his report as to his health after the debate,
never mentioned that he'd been taking ambia right. But Hunter says, Look,
he's eighty one years old, he's been traveling a lot.

(06:34):
He just got back from Europe. So we gave him
ambient to get ready for the debate.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
What kim tranquilized? Kimbout horse tranquiser while you're out? What
are you talking about? Oh, you just gotta love it,
You gotta love it. These guys are crazy. Yeah, it's
none of it makes any sense to me. Honestly, I
think it's a bunch of excuses. I mean, if you
hear Hunter Biden talk about how much he supports illegal immigration,
he says, who's gonna who's gonna make your food, who's

(07:00):
going to who's going to take care of that. Who's
going to man the hotels? He talks like, you know,
like such an elitist. These are all servants. This is
the servant class. You're interrupting here. Why would you not
want your servants around you? I mean, he is so
detached in his so called defense of illegal immigration, it's
it's really unhinged.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Would you hear what Karen Bass, the mayor of Los
Angeles said over the weekend. No, she would not give
Trump credit for shutting it on the border, even though
he has. And she's also saying, you know what's really
going on. We don't have people to work in car
washes anymore, So how do we get our nice cars cleaned?
To Los Angeles? And not too bad? I'm feeling sorry
for him. They can't get their cars cleaned.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
We call that a first world problem. Isn't it something
that you like? You If that's your problem in life,
life's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Apparently they must have it Los Angeles because they can't
find people to work in car washers anymore.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, I aren't. We and we're supposed to again, the
everyday American just doesn't.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
They don't care.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
You're just all you're doing is just separating yourself further
and further away.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah, pretty amazing. All right, A lot to get to
when we come back, Hopefully we'll be speaking with former
US Attorney for Utah Brett Tolman about the document dump
from Telsea Gabbard over the weekend on the Russian Hoax.
That's all coming up. Great to be with you on
this Monday afternoon. It is the Rotten Greg Show on
Utah's Talk Radio one O five to nine. Kay, and
all right, welcome back to the show. All right, the

(08:23):
big story, Greg and I talked about this on Freddy
as the document dump started on the Russian Hoax, but boy,
there's been a lot of chatter about it over the weekend.
Some of the legacy media kind of tried to ignore this.
I think that's fairnessasion they great. I didn't want to
talk about it, but there's so much in here. We
thought we'd bring on our next guest, good friend of
the show, Brett Tolman, former US attorney for Utah. He's

(08:45):
been talking about this, Brett. How are you? Welcome back
to the Rotten Greg Show.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
Rob, Greg, Thanks for having me all right back.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
I think I heard you say earlier today in a
Fox News interview that you've seen some of the documents,
not all of them. From what you have seen so far, Brett,
what are they telling you anything new?

Speaker 5 (09:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (09:06):
I think, you know, we always suspected that there, you know,
there was some foul play when you had little bits
and pieces of the puzzle where you had the Steele
dossier and you had you know, it's unreliability, and then
you had a connection to you know, the law firm
that Hillary Clinton was using, and and the campaign. And

(09:27):
the one missing part of this whole thing was I
think incredibly significant was the fact that Obama never left Washington,
d C. He served his term. He should have been
like every other president's never happened before. He didn't go
home anywhere.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
He stayed in d C.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
And they what they knew was they couldn't have someone
like Donald Trump there and exposing everything that had gone
on both you know, before while he was president ultimately,
but then before. And I think that's why Obama stayed there.
I think that they had started, you know, before he left,

(10:10):
in those days before he left, they had started a
strategy which they knew was untrue and it was contrary
to what the intelligence was telling them. Which was to
take down Donald Trump through this this this fabricated and
manipulated story of Russian collusion in our in our elections,

(10:31):
trying to lace Donald Trump into the White House, which
now we know to have been the exact opposite of
what the intelligence community was telling them. So the key
people came together and said, well, you know what we're
gonna We're gonna tell them that it did happen, and
now here we are, we finally have it exposed.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
So that's how I see it, Breton. I thought that
the the documents that were declassified on Friday pretty much
told this tale that you just did right now, just
told this story so you had you had back in August.
Russia is not influencing this election beyond their normal you know,
we're trying to, you know, cause chaos it was in
September again, even in the days prior to this December

(11:09):
ninth meeting where they actually pivot go one hundred and
eighty degrees a different direction. I feel like the documents
just speak for themselves. There's not a whole lot you
can say to refute it. However, I've been watching and
trying to see who could argue against it, and I
find in a National Review from Andrew McCarthy, of all people,
he says that what's been released is about campaign election infrastructure,

(11:34):
and that that is completely different than the elections influence
that they were saying that Putin and Russia had and
that they're in that Telsea Gabbard's release is not doesn't
say what everyone thinks. It says, you're an attorney. You
know this by practice as a US attorney, but also
your legal mind. How can what we've read in these

(11:54):
released these classified documents not be a smoking gun in
terms of President Obama reversing gears and actually going after
President Trump. Well, you know, it won't be the first
time I've disagreed with Andy, and.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
I don't think it is not necessarily the languge. These
are not emails revealing the conspiracy in ways in which
Hollywood might want it or to present it.

Speaker 6 (12:26):
Instead.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
It is the It is the collection of all of it,
understanding what Komi did when he got the information from
the intelligence community, what Obama did, and what others did
when they all decided that they were going to continue
to pursue this this you know, this strategy, which was

(12:52):
to say, contrary to what the intelligence was telling them
to say that Russia did collude, and then you add
to that what was happening with the other accusations against
Trump at the time, and you then have a larger
conspiracy than we may have truly anticipated. And remember, greg

(13:13):
conspiracies are not every person knows the full extent of
all the activities or the nature of the conspiracy. Instead,
it's it's components working together, whereas only a few people
would know and have the bigger picture on how large
the conspiracy is.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Bret, what what would be their defense? Right now? Let's
say this gets to a point they need a defense
attorney and you're you're their defense attorney. What is their defense?
What is their defense against this? Or would they say, well,
we're just trying to protect the company, the country, trying
to figure this out. What's their defense here?

Speaker 4 (13:49):
You know, I think their first defense would be to
point to Trump and say he's a threat to our democracy.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
We knew it then.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
We were acting in our you know, we were acting
within the confines of our authority to investigate and to
marginalize a direct threat to the country and to our democracy,
which is consistent with what they've said and what they
continue to say that The hollowness though of that is

(14:22):
that if he's a direct threat to democracy, he's now
been elected twice by the country.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
And.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
Your argument that he's a direct threat to democracy is
belied by the fact that a majority of the country,
especially in this last election, said we actually believe in
his and his ability to protect our democracy. And so
I think it rings hollow and I don't see a

(14:54):
defense in terms of, you know, any rational, rational basis
for the the intelligence community to be manufacturing. You know,
this is on this is on a very large scale
what we're seeing here. This is you know, Watergate on steroids,
because this is you directly fabricating something that is conveyed

(15:19):
to the American people that our election is not safe
and that it is tied to Donald Trump.

Speaker 6 (15:25):
You know.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
So in December eighth, the day before they're having this
meeting with President Trump or sorry, President Obama, they have
in their presidential their daily briefing the cyber manipulation of
US election infrastructure to remain a challenge. But Russia and
criminal actors did not impact the recent US election results
by conducting malicious cyberactivities. Okay, then later on, it says

(15:49):
based on this is the day before this meeting is
supposed to happen. Based on new guidance, we are going
to push back publication of the Presidential Daily Briefing. It
will not run tomorrow and is likely not to run
until next week. That they're talking about the part where
they're dismissing Russia's influence that on the on the December ninth,

(16:09):
they that memo says Russia was completely involved in influencing
the outcome of this election. And that's where I go
back to, you can use the word infrastructure all day
or not. The fact that they decided a day before,
when they had such really conclusions that Russia did not
influence the outcome of this election, to have the December

(16:31):
ninth meeting all about how Putin himself and Russia influenced
the outcome of the election, and potentially with the help
or the collusion with Trump. It's just I don't know
how they can wiggle their way out of out of
this truth. And I just well, is there a consequence
to it?

Speaker 4 (16:50):
That's the you know, that meeting and then then call
me doubling down and testifying the knowledge that he has
all of those are these major you know components of
furthering the conspiracy. And the conspiracy is a group of

(17:11):
people that have power, that are willing to lie to
deceive the American people because they believe they're the ones
that should judge whether or not somebody should be in
the White House. I truly think, though, there's something bigger
going on here, which is it's they needed to distract

(17:32):
and destroy Donald Trump's ability to be president, whether that
was to keep him out or whether while he was in,
they were going to do what they needed to to,
you know, basically occupy his ability to do what And
and I believe it is the transparency and the accountability

(17:52):
that Donald Trump is now trying to usher in that
they wanted to avoid. And I still don't think we've
seen everything. I think we're going to be surprised a
few times over the next couple of years.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Real quick, Brett, I know you're up against a hard
hitt and we are as well. But it's over to now,
it's been turned over to Bondi and Patel. Does she
point a point of special prosecutor where do you where
do you see this going next?

Speaker 6 (18:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (18:18):
I don't think she needs to, but if she does,
you know, great but I think there are US attorneys
right now or Ed Martin for example, that could lead
the investigation. Have cash fattel point, you know, terrific investigators,
trusted investigators and prosecutors to immediately investigate this in the

(18:42):
full scope of it. And I think it is something
that is going to lead to the recommendation of indictments.
I think I think it is, and I think it
should and so I think they're up for the task.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
But I hope that's what we see. I do too.
All Right, Brett has always you're inside. I know we'll
be talking more about this down the road. Thanks Brett,
look forward to thanks.

Speaker 6 (19:04):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
All right. Brett Doleman, former US attorney for Utah talking
about the document dump, the Russian hope story. It just
goes on and on. More coming up on the Roden
Gregg Showranks take it. If you're going into space, you
could probably take it.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
I'll bet when Abby was gone, she was cross the
pond about she listened every day.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
I best she did, No she did. She tries to
get as far away from us as she possibly can't. Yeah,
probably can't. Now before we go on to our next interview,
you know today is National Junk Food Day, shout out
here a pizza junk food.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
No, no, that's not that's that's health food. That's especially

(20:16):

one zero If you'd like to win, Hey, Papa Murphy's
Meal deal from Papa Murphy's and Talk Radio one oh
five nine K and RS. Well, as I mentioned at
the start of the show a short time ago. This
is kind of like scandal rama day today. Yes, first
we've got the Russian Hope scandal, and now we're getting
new information on what the Biden administration did to attack parents.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yes, that's right, and it's it's I mean, we all
saw that you're a domestic terrorist if you go to
a school board meeting and complain, which just absolutely riled
justifiably all of America, every parent, grandparent. But there's more
to the story.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah, sadly, Yeah, sadly. Yeah, new report own says that
Joe Biden's Justice Department actively sought a federal hook to
go after these parents. Joining us on our Newsmaker line
right now is brecon these He is a corresponding with
a federalist breaking Thanks for joining us tonight. What have
you found out? What's the new documentation indicating?

Speaker 7 (21:13):
Yeah, so these emails that were released recently show what
we kind of all knew to be true, but it just,
you know, kind of gives more behind the scene evidence
of what happens. So literally, the Biden Justice Department, uh
you know, political appointee officials, they worked over time, over
a weekend actually to fast track this h this you

(21:38):
know Merrit Garland document that says that they want to
treat parents as domestic parents, and they actually worked over
the objections of career staff who, to their to their credit,
actually were saying that these parents have First Amendment rights.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
There's no federal jurisdiction anyway, but.

Speaker 7 (21:55):
The Biden doj I mean, they really wanted to make
sure that they could send their thugs after parents who
were conservative.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
Mass mandates, critical.

Speaker 7 (22:03):
Race theory, transgender igeology seeping into their children's classrooms.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
So it's fascinating what you because I remember when this
memo came out from the from Merrick Garland and it
described the parents that were going to these school board
meetings as potential domestic terrorists. And we talked about it
for years after how incredibly aggressive and in saying that
was what you are showing us is that they were

(22:29):
reverse engineering that outcome or that conclusion. But they were
looking at all kinds of different ways to do it,
maybe even the way they're going after pro life protesters,
saying that they were obstructing, you know, facilities or something.
Maybe you could share with our listeners what kind of
scenarios were they brainstorming worse than the just the memo

(22:49):
saying that if you go to your school board meeting
and complain, you're a domestic terrorist. What were some of
the things they were they were contemplating.

Speaker 7 (22:57):
Right, Yeah, you're exactly right to reference the that's the
Face Act.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
Some people know that, some people don't. That's that's the.

Speaker 7 (23:04):
The federal law that the Biden DJ also abused to
go after pro life people who are peacefully protesting outside
of abortion clinics or just even praying outside of abortion clinics.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
We've seen people go to jail under that law. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (23:18):
A career attorney who was actually making initially making some
pretty decent points to the to the Biden DJ people
then said, you know, maybe there could be a Faith
Act style uh situation to to go after these parents
who are who are you know, angry at school board meetings?

Speaker 6 (23:37):
Uh?

Speaker 7 (23:38):
And and I want to say to her credit and
let me just really quickly quote here.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
I mean, you know, career d o J.

Speaker 7 (23:44):
Civil rights attorneys are not exactly known for being starwart
conservatives or even remotely connected to upholding the constitution usually,
and in fact usually it's quite the opposite. But this
was so egregious that even even those career attorneys wouldn't
go for One of them said, it seems like we
are ramping up an awful lot of federal manpower for

(24:05):
what is currently a non federal conduct.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
It appears to me that the vast, vast.

Speaker 7 (24:09):
Majority of the behavior cited cannot be reached by federal law.
And she also said almost all the language being used
is protected by the First Amendment.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
So they didn't care.

Speaker 7 (24:20):
And once again I want to emphasize, I mean, these
emails that we got started on a Friday afternoon, and
they work Saturday trying to pressure people, Sunday trying to
pressure people, and by Monday, over that weekend October fourth,
that's when the Garland memo came out saying, oh, you know,
despite all of this other stuff, no, these parents are

(24:41):
actually domestics.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Harris breg An, I want to make sure I understand this.
So here you have these career staffers who are looking
at all this saying there's really no way you can
do this. They keep on telling the administrators there you
can't do theirs and there's no legal basis for this.
Did they go back and say, well, keep on looking.
There's got to be a way we can get after
these parents.

Speaker 7 (25:00):
Yeah, I mean the one of the phrases that was
used by a person named Kevin Chambers, who is in
the in the Associate Deputy Attorney General's office. He said,
we have to find the challenge here is finding a
federal hook. So you know, that just means anything you
can do to make sure that that there is some

(25:21):
kind of facial federal jurisdiction. Potentially that's maybe we can
make an argument based off of find whatever that is,
and that is going to lead us into being able
to use kind of federal force against parents. And again,
I mean we talk about a lot of a lot
of kind of like bait and switch type situations here.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
This was already a manufactured document.

Speaker 7 (25:44):
Like prior to any of this happening, the National school
Boards Association was colluding with the White House to create
this letter from the National school Boards Association and then
after that to respond to their teed up letter.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
Now they're like, well, now we.

Speaker 7 (25:59):
Need to manufacture federal basis to respond to the letter
in order. So they were trying, I mean harder than
I've ever seen anyone try to make sure that federal
force could be used against parents.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
You know, I hate to admit this, but I don't know.
I know it would have ultimately had a chilling effect.
I know that we gave a lot of airtime to
the fact this memo existed in the draconian definitions of
domestic terrorists or anyone, was anyone tried, Was anyone prosecuted
federally based on the memo that they created to try

(26:30):
and stop parents from exercising their free speech?

Speaker 3 (26:34):
You know, I don't know the answer to that.

Speaker 7 (26:36):
I think that this blew up very quickly, and I'm
not sure that they ever even got off the ground
of being.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Able to do that.

Speaker 7 (26:41):
However, I do know that, and I think this kind
of became well known nationally.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
The father in Latin County.

Speaker 7 (26:49):
Virginia, who sort of used as the poster child for this,
who was tackled at a school board meeting, and you know,
he got charges against him. They weren't federal, and he
ended up being pardoned by Virginia as Republican Governor Glenn
Youngkin later on, but he was used as like the
prime example for why we need to get federal force
in this.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
You know, he was speaking up.

Speaker 7 (27:11):
About how his daughter had actually been violently raped by
a quote unquote transgender student in school and he was
tackled by police officers for it, arrested and charged with crimes.
That is the blueprint that the federal government wanted to
be able to do and use much more force and
much more resources to be able to do that.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
He's a correspondent of the Federalist Brick and Thiefs. Joining
us on the Roden greg Show and Talk Radio one
oh five nine knrs and kind of some shocking news.
Greg over the weekend, Guess who's leaving California? Who in
and out burger Man.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
They they represented California as a as a company for
the longest time.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
The owner, Lindsey Snuder, on a podcast over the weekend says,
because they're they're directing their expansion efforts now toward the
East Coast, that they'll be moving their headquarters to Tennis.
See here's how she talked about it on that podcast.

Speaker 8 (28:03):
Like you said, there's a lot of great things about California,
but raising a family is not easy here. Doing business
is not easy here. Now, the bulk of our stores
are still going to be here in California, but it
will be wonderful having an office out there, growing out

(28:26):
there totally and being able to have the family and
other people's families out there.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
She continued in that interview Greg by saying it was
unbearable what California told them they had to do during
the during COVID wear mask, put up the plexa glass,
all of this, and she said, it just became unbearable
for us, you know, and it continues today. And so
they aren't completely I mean in and out. It's not
closing in California, and they're keeping at headquarters there, but

(28:56):
they're moving some of their operations to Tennessee. Just become
not worth it.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Well, just plan on seeing a lot more of that.
I mean, they've taken a great state. I mean it's
a large state. It has a strong economy by itself,
larger than many most nations I think around the world,
California alone. And but Jay just they have taken something
so big and have successfully ruined it. I mean they're
having there's not more people are leaving California since statehood.

(29:22):
Then it's growing every census that You've got to be
pretty bad to make that happen.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
It is scandal rama Day. Today on the Rod and
Greg Chill, we'll talk more about that with you coming
up next to stay with us. I notice you are
sporting a new T shirt today.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
You like it?

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Your alligator Alcatraz.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Yes, you should take a picture for our.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Good Look at it's a good looking shirt. Thank you,
alligator Chatraze.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Now I said, why do the Democrats have to own
the color blue? Why can't I have a blue ice
alligator Alcatraz ice shirt? So it's blue.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yeah, and it's alligators on the front wearing nice hats.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
And look what well look what? Look what it stands for.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
National Institute for Crocodilian Enforcement.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yeah, you see the picture. There's someone that took a
picture I put posted it on X of a big,
big alligator walking through a neighborhood. I figure they're just
broadening the net. I think they're just you know, they
got the island down. Now they're starting to go in
neighborhood and see what else they can find any trouble.
I could hear the bad boys, the cops, the TV

(30:27):
show Cops. Theme in my head is that alligators crawling
through the walking through the neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Well do you see that other states are now trying
to figure out a way to do their own alligator
or cae tras.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
We need more ice detention facilities.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
I guess one of they're story in one of the
media outlets here that Wyoming has set up something.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Now, well, here's the trick. We all want them, but
not near us. Okay, So that is that is the
needle you have to thread. You need to have one
where you can have workforce everything else, but you can't
have it around where we all live, because we don't
want all these people around us.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
The FED what's nearly seventy percent of this, I'm serious
somewhere out and sure of nowhere in Utah where you
could put a prison like that.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
You could, but you got to get employees to get
out there too. I mean it is. It's a little
bit of a tough not to crack. But they seem
to have mastered it in the in the Everglades, and
so I say we need more of it. I think
some I think some military bases are being looked at.
Oh really, yes for that, and that would actually be
a very good place.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
How about Analope Island? I like that live with the
bugs out there. You're telling you I've been I've called
an alligator antelope.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
I think I think I have no Alcatraz Antelope Alcatraz.
What do you think, folks?

Speaker 1 (31:43):
I kind of like that idea.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
They can walked through that that once that lake bed
now is so low, but still I think it would
be a little bit more dis.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Why not do it? Why not?

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Now?

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Now, the blowback from the announcement last week of Stephen
Colbert is still going on.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Yeah, what a pathetic rise.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
CBS staffords are questioning the motives now behind this decision,
basically saying they're trying to limit free speech. Yeah, by
shutting down Stephen Colbert.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
See, they have every right to lose any organization forty
million dollars a year and have as many employees as
they want. It's it is the elite have never once
thought that when they want to cut jobs, and they
want to like Keystone pipeline, you name it, any everyday
American job, you can destroy it and they wouldn't blink.
How dare you touch?

Speaker 1 (32:31):
How dare they do? Yeah? Yeah, Well maybe Colbert. Now
we found this audio SoundBite over the weekend, Greg maybe
Colbert should have listened to this advice from the king
of late night television. We're talking about Johnny Carson. Now
years ago Carson sat down and did a very rare
interview with Mike Wallace. With Mike Wallace from sixty minutes.
He liked Mike Wallace, so he agreed to do this

(32:52):
and listen to the advice he would offer today's late
night talk show hosts.

Speaker 9 (32:57):
People say he'll never take a series is controversy. Well
I have an answer to that. I said, no, tell
me the last time that Jack Benny red Skelton uh
Benny comedian use his show to do serious issues. That's
not what I'm there for.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
Can't they see that?

Speaker 9 (33:16):
But you and I do they think that just because
you have it tonight's show, that you must deal in
serious issues. That's a danger.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
It's a real danger.

Speaker 9 (33:25):
Once you start that, do you start to get that
self important feeling that what you say has great import
And you know, strangely enough, you could use that show
as a form you could sway people.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
And I don't think you should.

Speaker 9 (33:36):
As an entertainer.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
No, you shouldn't. And he made something very important. He said,
once you start going down that path, Greg, do you
think you become very important?

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Yep? You get that self important feel that you can make,
you can make help shape opinion and that's not what
you're there for. You're there to entertain. That's such a job.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
And even after he retired, let's see, Leonard took over him,
Letterman went over to CBS. You know, near the end,
I think Letterman got a little more political, but even
Jay Leno never gotten political.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
They didn't and that's why they were popular shows. And
that's why late night talk shows used to be. They
were part of the fabric of America. And I'm telling you,
Stephen Colbert destroyed it because when he got there, he
went full on political. Oh and then I think the
other clowns on the other networks followed suit because he
was getting good ratings. If he's getting good ratings, we'll
do that too. And they all got so partisan and political.

(34:26):
And if you see the number of guests, because I
don't watch that show anymore, I actually I never watched
it to begin with, but I used to watch Carson,
I used to watch jaylen and I used to watch
David Letterman, and they used to have the guests that
were movies were coming out, or bands that were new
or new comedians. Seldom did you have the political people
and the heavy topics that's you look at the list

(34:47):
of guests. Nowadays, that's all they have. They seldom have
the movies coming out and things like that. They changed it.
It was like they wanted a version of Dateline, but
on late night supposedly you know, entertaining talk host or
whatever talk shows. And so anyway, he killed it, Stephen
Colbert killed the goose that was laying the golden eggs.
He killed it.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
As you like to indicate all the time, thank you.
I've been in this business for a long time. Yes,
you have the one thing that people who are in
this business and who were outside this business and hear
about changes, need to realize that again, it is a business,
that's right. And if you get great, great ratings, but
you ain't bringing in the money through advertising, guess what

(35:30):
they're going to make changes. This guy was losing what
forty million dollars a year. His contract paid him twenty
to thirty million dollars a year.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
What a show.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
They were spending one hundred million dollars a year just
to produce the program and it wasn't making and advertisers
over time were starting to drop off. When advertisers start
dropping off, you're in trouble.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
And then this self, this sense of entitlement that they
have that somehow that they're victims because they didn't have
a product that people actually wanted to watch. Yeah, I mean,
it's just it's just on brand. I guess how was
it when you when you were in your media experience
when movies went from silent to voice and sound, How
did you feel it must have been a game changer
for you. What did you think? I was like, Wow,

(36:14):
they can actually hear what they're saying.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
Now.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
Well, I always thought Charlie Chaplin was the biggest story ever.
I just wanted to let you know. Yes, all right,
all right, let's talk about what happened on Friday and
the blowback that is taking place.

Speaker 10 (36:28):
Now.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
What I think Tulca Gabbert was able to do, because
I think we've talked about Russian collusion ever since what
twenty seventeen, twenty sixteen, right, what she has been able
to do, I think, Greg, and this is so important,
and folks you need to read this, is she put
it together in kind of a time frame that we
can all understand. She took all the various pieces of

(36:51):
the puzzle, Greg and starting started putting them together. And
you can see how this unfolded. Now there are some
with even even in the conservative ranks or saying well,
there's nothing new here. I think there is something new.
We had Brett Tolman on saying, yeah, you can see
Barack Obama's direct involvement in a lot of this, which

(37:12):
we always kind of thought he was hanging out there,
but you can see now his involvement in this was
pretty strong.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Even and with this newly declassified information, it actually gives
us greater understanding of why Susan Rice wrote an email
to herself the day they were leaving office. They had
the vacate because the new transition was coming the day
or day before. She's writing to herself, dear self, the
President Obama wants everything done by the book. He doesn't

(37:38):
want any preconceived notion. He doesn't want to It's like
she was trying to cover and create this foundational premise
that everything else because that was going to get leaked
and that was going to be shared with everybody, not
the stuff that just got declassified. No one was ever
supposed to see that those documents, This was the document
everyone was supposed to see that. He just wants to
get to the bottom of it. He's just concerned. He

(37:59):
doesn't want to misconstrued. When you see the declassified documents
and you see that after all of this, she writes
that that email before she leaves the office for the
last time, it just it's just absolute skullduggery. It's absolutely fraudulent.
It none of it carries any water once you see,
once you get more information.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
My question is, Greg, is this going to hang on?
No one was ever directly told to do something. It
was all done with a wink and a nod. Do
you do you do you fear I fear that a
little bit. Okay, okay, but we do have memos. Okay,
we've got some. But is there going to be Well,

(38:39):
we never told anyone directly, but we kind of winked
and nodded that it should be done.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
So I don't know how much of it.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
A former US attorney Brett Tolman, contributor on Fox News
Friend of Ours, Friend of the Show, I don't know
how much he is predicting and how much he may know. However,
he said that he thinks more information is coming that
would respond with a breaking news story I heard earlier
today that or I read today that said that Telsey

(39:06):
Gabbert has announced that there are whistleblowers coming out of
the woodwork from the Obama administration and that they are
disgusted by what happened. DJ will soon receive their affidavits
now that so there could be winks and nods, so
or they can try to make it winks and nods.
But if you do have whistleblowers that were there who
never were good with what they saw happen in front

(39:27):
of their eyes, and they come out in some number,
I do think that this story does change. And I'm
tired of National Review and all these rags they are
supposed to be right of center who are repeating the
Obama administration's defense. This is, yeah, their narrative that although
this is the same what we saw before, it's I
didn't think you could look at these declassified documents and

(39:50):
construe anything but guilt by reading, because they're pretty revealing.
But this, Andrew McCarthy's so disappointing.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
Well, I tell you what. This dropped on late Friday
during our show, we talked about it. But a lot
of people, hopefully over the weekend and today are kind
of getting geared up on this understanding what this means.
And I wonder we want to open up the phones
and get your thoughts or a talkback line or our
pound two fifty line eight eight eight five seven oh
eight zero one zero on your cell phone that w'll

(40:18):
pound two to fifty and say hey, rod Er, you
can do it on the talkback line. I like it, Charia.
I wonder how many people who are big supporters of
Donald Trump, Greg are just sitting back saying we told
you so, We told you so time and time again.
Donald Trump, he went on sixty minutes, said they're spying
out in sixty minutes, said, oh, come on that. We

(40:39):
check all our sources. We don't make things for sixty minutes.
You know if people are now saying told you so.
And my next question, Greg, where do we go from here?
Ham Bondy has got to make a very important decision.
What does she do with it? Do you think she'll
do it?

Speaker 2 (40:55):
I really hope there are indictments on this because it's
it goes back to even the Epstein issue that we've
been talking about for a while. The American people are
so tired of the elitists who get away with no intent.
They don't have to comply with law. They don't have
any consequences to breaking the law, just every day Americans do.
And there's a fatigue. The more transparency, the more we
know that they get away with this, the more frustrated

(41:16):
we all feel. And we're getting you release all these
all these documents, you declassify him, and then nothing happens
when you've seen it, man, that is hard to digest.
I hope minimally, reputation wise, nobody looks at Obama again
the same after what it's coming out, because that has
to be the minimum that history will never remember him

(41:37):
or or cast him in the same light after this
stuff has come out, because it's it's bad. He's he
really did want to undermine and and even potentially remove
President Trump from office. Remember Peter Struck's texts to his
girlfriend FBI attorney Lisa Page. He said, if worst case
scenario Trump gets elected, you know we have a plan,
be ready to go. Which was this? Which was this?

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Sure was all right? Your calls, your comments Here on
the Roding greg Show, we'll talk about the Russian Hotes
new documentation being released. Do you believe anything is going
to get done? Are you saying to yourself see we
told you so eight eight eight five seven oh eight
zero one zero, cell phone dial pound two to fifty.
And on the talkback line, just go to canterest dot
com and leave a message. Your calls and comments coming

(42:21):
up on the Rotten Gregg Show. We're talking about your
reaction to the information that came out on Friday, late
Friday with a document dump from a DNI director Tulca
Gabbert about the Russian hoaes tying Barack Obama into this directly.
Are you out there saying we told you so, but
we don't believe anything's going to be done. Do you
believe something's going to be done? We can only hope

(42:42):
Barack Obama. Could he be indicted? That would be probably not,
but that would be historic for sure. Eight eight eight
five seven o eight zero one zero on your cell
phone dial pound two to fifty, or of course on
our talkback line. Let's go to the phones, right.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
Let's go to Rachel and Farmington. Rachel, welcome to the
Rodding Gregg Show.

Speaker 11 (43:00):
Tyler, thanks for taking my call. I just wanted yeah, yeah, so,
I just wanted to let everyone know. Three days ago,
Tucker Carlton dropped a three hour long interview with historian
Darryl Cooper.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
D R.

Speaker 8 (43:18):
R y L.

Speaker 11 (43:19):
Cooper and Tucker interviewed him on the true history of
Jeffrey Epstein and the ongoing cover up. He goes through
so much, and I had to take it in chunks because,
like I said, it's three hours long. But they get
to the meat of it towards the end, you know,

(43:40):
like his message to the White House, what Cooper says
needs to be done, and then they go over the
true definition of evil, which is not the act itself
of abuse, but the act of literally taking away someone's
innocence and reveling in it. Like Epstein had a problem.
He was like tracted to the twelfth plus crowd, you know,

(44:03):
with braces. That's a serious problem.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (44:06):
You just wanted to take inno sense and got off
on that, and that's what needs to be stopped in
the United States of America.

Speaker 6 (44:11):
And all over the world.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
Yeah, all right, Rachel, thank you for that information. Interesting
Epstein thing that's not going away either, Greg.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
It's not, I mean, as much as people want it to.
And look, there is an argument to be made that
there's a lot lot going on, but I'm I'm convinced,
thanks to our good listeners, that this is this issue
is so big in terms of again you can even
splash into this Obama issue. People that get away with
the worst illegal conduct, they should be punished for it.

(44:39):
There should be justice, lad, you know, justice should be
applied to all. And there's a powerful crew out there
that seemed to never never have to worry, and we're
all tired of it.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Yeah, all right, let's go to our talk back line
see what our listeners have to say. Here's one comment.

Speaker 12 (44:53):
Hey, Rod and Greg, this is Jeremy from American Fork.
This whole tulci gaberthing. I want to see people arrested.
I prefer to have them arrested at six am like
they did to the January sixth people. But I want
to see people arrested period the end.

Speaker 3 (45:10):
We need to see not just arrests. We need to
see convictions.

Speaker 12 (45:13):
And I want to see people going to prison for
a long time or if not for a long time,
that they're paying the ultimate price for treason.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
Yeah, you know, I think a lot of people feel
that way. Greg. My my concern is I don't know
if he'll ever happen. I that's my concern. And I
don't want to be a Debbie Downer because I think
there's some solid information here now. But wow, so I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
Does everyone remember that Hillary Clinton was a staffer in
Congress when they were doing the impeachment hearings on Nixon
and and her she wrote documents for the member of
Congress she worked for in that that committee hearing that
they were having that said that his fundamental crime was
lying to the American people, and not that he broke

(45:57):
into the Watergate hotel himself, but that he had lied
covered it and he ended up resigning. Uh than being
to avoid an impeachment, there was a consequence to him saying,
you know, delaying when he learned about the Watergate break
and not admitting he had learned about the morning after.
For Hillary Clinton, of all people, to make that case
as a young staffer, to say that that was an

(46:18):
impeachable offense to a lot of the American people, and
then to see this and look at this is not
only was these were these the premise based on complete lies,
but to use it to try and underminor stop a
duly elected president. It's a little bigger than not telling,
you know, the American people when it is you forget
about a Watergate break in. There was a consequence back then,

(46:39):
and there is no consequence for this now. It's just hard,
it's it's I'm telling you, I don't I'm with you
because of all that has But if you told me
that mar al Lago would be invaded by flack jacketed
you know, assault rifle, you know, pointing federal agents into
the president, the former president's home. If you told me
that he would have to have his mug shot taken
in Georgia, if you told me all those things, I

(47:01):
would have had a hard time believing that those were
that that would happen. None of that was based on
anything factual or real. This is real. This is I mean,
I think that the declassified documents speak for themselves.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
But we'll see, Yeah, we'll see. All right, more of
your calls and comments. I've got a theory on this
as well coming up as we continue with the Rod
and Greg Show on this Monday on Talk Radio one
O five to nine k nrs. Ready to be with
you again, stephnoon, I'm brought our Kim.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
I'm citizen Greg Hughes.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
All Right, the historian Victor Davis Hanson was just one
with Laura Ingram on the Fox News Channel. We've had
Victor on the show before, always a great guest. But
he was asked about everything that's going on here, and
he said, the one issue that people need to think about.
They can defend themselves all they want, but people like Comy,
Brennan and Clapper have no credibility with the American public

(47:49):
at all.

Speaker 13 (47:49):
The other problem is none of these people have any credibility.
James Comy pled ignorance amnesia two hundred and forty five
times under oh to this House Intelligence Committee. He leaked
a confidential call of conversation with Donald Trump that he
memorialized to the New York Times via a third party.
Clapper who remember, he lied under oath to Congress, and

(48:12):
he said that the NSA did not spy on people.
Then when he was caught, he said it was the
least on truthful answer he could give. Brennan lied twice.
He said that the NSA didn't spy on people.

Speaker 5 (48:24):
Lie.

Speaker 13 (48:25):
He said that the CIA didn't tap in to Senate
staffer computers.

Speaker 10 (48:29):
That was a lie.

Speaker 13 (48:30):
Both of them were co architects. Let's not forget of
the fifty one intelligence authorities, So you could really say,
as a historian a historical period, they affected the outcome
one way or the other of the twenty sixteen election
and maybe the twenty twenty because they leaked that false
narrative of Donald Trump colluding with the Russians to manufacture

(48:55):
Hunter's laptop right before the second of debate and to
armed Joe Biden to go in there and lie to
the American people that his son's laptop was a product
of Russian and Trump collusion. So they've got a long
record of no credibility, and I don't think they're going
to be convincing in any excuse or apology they give.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
That's a great line. I mean, they have no credibility.
Would you believe James Goming if he told you tonight
the son's coming up tomorrow?

Speaker 2 (49:20):
No, I said, well, I guess we don't have a son.
I guess it's not coming. He said it, Yeah, you know,
is eighty six forty seven or whatever he said. I mean,
he oh, I didn't even know what that meant. I
thought it was a really nice decoration of shells on
the beach. The guy's a joke, But I think that
the declassified documents speak for themselves.

Speaker 6 (49:39):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
I don't even there's no effort needed because Tulsea Gabbert
the Her agency did a phenomenal job of putting it
in a digestible form and a number of sheets of
you know, a number of images where you can actually
follow it along, and once you do, there's nothing left
to say. They didn't think Russia had anything to do
with it at all, and they ramped up that narrative

(50:01):
to undermine that presidency and hopefully even remove them, uh,
you know, after the fact they did. They had that
ready to go. They were afraid Hillary Clinton was afraid
they were going to use her hacked basement server as
reason why she should be president. Because she was so
she actually committed a crime. To defend against that. They
created this Russian collusion and dossier excuse so they could

(50:24):
you know, change the change the story. Never did use
it because they thought they were going to win, and
then once Trump did win, they put that in place
to try and stop him from I think, actually continuing
on as president.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
You know, I question it keeps coming to my mind,
Greg in all of this, as we learn more and
more about collusion and hoats and trying to derail his presidency.
What scares them so much about Donald Trump? Why are
they so afraid of this guy? Is it because what
they're seeing now in the first six months of his
second term, what he's doing, what he's getting accomplished. What

(50:59):
do you think scares them so much? I've always wondered that.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
I think it's the power. I think that they have
been able to. I think that there is no words
left to describe Trump negatively. There's no skeletons in this
man's closet, There's nothing. He is the most untouchable, most liberated,
independent president will probably ever have. And I think they've
been used to really bullying or by power or other things,

(51:23):
being able to get even Republicans to behave the way
they want them to. He is untouchable to them, and
I think that undermind drives all their power, especially as
he's dismantling all the things that took him so long
to build up.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
Yeah eight eight eight five seven eight zero one zero
triple eight five seven eight zero one zero. On your
cell phone dial pound two fifteen, say hey Rod, or
on our talkback line, you can weigh in with any
of your comments or calls that you may have. Here's
another talkback caller weighing in or talkback listener talking about
the Russian Hopes case.

Speaker 14 (51:56):
This is James and Lehigh trusting government. It is so
eroded as it is. There must be indictments, there must
be action, or the little trust that we have left
will be further eroded.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
I mean trust in government has gone out the window
grade and it's been around for a longone. Someone said
the other day, I don't know if it's on our show.
You didn't take it all the way back to Kenny's assassination. Yeah,
there are people who who do not believe Lee Harvey
al Oswald was the lone gunman.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Well, I you know, look I think, yeah, I'm one
of them. In fact, I factually believe that that is
impossibly is the lone gunman. But here's the thing. Transparency's good.
It brings the light a lot of things we didn't
know that was, you know, under the surface. But yeah,
the response then is wow, this is this is a swamp.
I spent a lot of time in public service where

(52:48):
people would say, look, he's a he's an elected person,
he's on the inside track. I had no idea this
is a swamp, the deep state. I didn't know any
of it was. I was cynical about the media. I
always thought they kind of saw had a similar worldview,
the complexity and the work they do together. I had
no clue. Until President Trump became president. I felt like

(53:10):
I was I was opening my eyes for the first time.
And so once you see that, you can't unsee it.
And now, what are you going to do? I think
we have. If President Trump can't at least get us
on a great trajectory, no one else will because he's
otherworldly in terms of taking on opposition and adversity.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
That's for sure. All Right, more of your calls in
comments coming up on the Rod and Greg Show on
this Monday afternoon here on Utah's Talk Radio one O
five to nine.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
Kate and rswer again. I am just frustrated. It's one
thing when the New York Times wants to blow this off.
By the way, nobody actually almost all the talking head
Sunday shows didn't mention the one gave thirty four seconds
to it, and then one was preempted by the British Open,
so they didn't get their chance at ignoring it. Like

(53:54):
the rest of the stations did. But you're not going
to find any of this. But if you do, it's
always going to be some critical about Tulsa Gabbard by
the regime media. But what absolutely boils my blood is
when I read a column out of the National Review,
which I don't actually trust the National Review, by the way,
but to have this Andrew McCarthy, who used to fill
in for Rush, I think Rush would be dying right

(54:15):
now that this clown who used to fill in for
him when he wasn't there is writing a you know,
some apog apologetic piece for the Obama White House and
saying that what Tulsi Gabbard has released is not irrelevant,
It's just it just contradicts everything that the declassified information
would would say. Is the case.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
I want to talk a little bit more about Barack
Obama here in just second, because he said another stupid
thing last week that we haven't had a chance to
talk about. But before we do, how about Scotti Scheffler
winning the Open Use today.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
It was great?

Speaker 1 (54:48):
And is that great?

Speaker 2 (54:49):
It was great for a lot of reasons. One, he's
showing a mastery at where he was winning. He came
into that last round on Sunday ahead by four strokes,
I think at least and never had he had one
lich on one hole, but I think, yeah, you hit it,
but he double bogey did it. But after that, other
than that, it was just there. Was didn't even look
like there was any pressure to it, which is pretty

(55:10):
good in a major, especially by the way, good weather
in British Open. I've never seen it, Sonny. There it's
always windy and cold and thirty mile an hour. We
have to ask her about that. But the thing that
it was made that so brilliant is the celebration afterwards,
his wife and his little boy, and then you know, Nike,
which has been such a terrible company when it comes

(55:32):
to wokeness and everything else, really did embrace the father
and the kids and his family.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
Isn't that great? They embraced fatherhood, they said, the little Bennett,
little Bennett running toward him and all by the way
he won a major.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
Cho Yeah, it's like being a father is the greatest
was the greatest win of all, And winning a championship
is not major championships not so bad either. But even
Nike can't stop but help harold the role of a father.
And I thought the role of a father, showing that
this guy and a lot of athletes have a hard time.
I'm balancing things like Scotti Scheffler does with his family,
with his young family, and he's a devout he's not

(56:06):
ashamed to express his faith. And so it is a
different story than the one we've heard as of late.
And I think it's a good one.

Speaker 1 (56:13):
Yeah, I think it's a very good and you know,
and he has it in such proper perspective. I think
sometimes the media wishes he would get more excited, but
he kind of says, look, it's golf. There are more
important things in life. This is a golf game. This
is what I do for a living. But it's a
game of golf.

Speaker 6 (56:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
And you know, the background of him is that he
used to get that mad. Yeah, he didn't play any
better for it, and then you know, working through it all,
he's now as a young dad and you know, I'm
not married that long. But these things that have entered
his life have now put golf in its perspective. There's
a lot of athletes that never gather that.

Speaker 6 (56:51):
Well.

Speaker 1 (56:51):
Let's talk about another great father. Barack Obama's tongue firmly
implanted in my cheek when I said that. Now, he
went on his wife's podcast last week in an effort
to show that they still love each other and they
aren't getting divorced.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
I know, if you could think of the polar opposite
of the imagery of a Scottie shuffer his wife his
little boy Bennett on Sunday, the opposite of that would
be this this podcast disaster doing well.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
He apparently said something that I just went, come on,
you got to be kidding me. Barack Obama basically said
that men need gay friends to teach empathy and to
be role models for their children.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
So should the kids have more gay friends or the
dad should have no.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
I think I think the kids should have more gay
friends so as they grow up they can be more
empathetic toward gay people and toward people in general.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
Well, isn't that, isn't that a nice token token gay friend.
Have a token gay friend, so you know what, you know,
being gayed like that? How about this? How about just
like get to know people and it's pretty much going
to you. You don't have to actually be you know,
if you're just if you just function in twenty twenty five,
I'm pretty sure you're going to be exposed. A lot
of different people. Just treat people you very finally, because

(58:11):
you'd like to be treated about the golden rule?

Speaker 1 (58:13):
Well, what about the golden rule? Here's Obama on that
podcast talking about this.

Speaker 10 (58:17):
One of the most valuable things I learned as a
guy was I had a gay professor in college at
a time when openly gay folks still weren't out, who
became one of my favorite professors and was a great
guy and would call me out when I started saying

(58:40):
stuff that was ignorant. You need that to show empathy
and kindness. And by the way, you need that person
in your friend group so that if you then have
a boy who is who's who's who's gay? Or Don
Binder or what have you, they had somebody that they Okay,

(59:00):
I'm not alone in this.

Speaker 1 (59:01):
He also said before that coming Greg that boys need
want more than one man in their life. Father is
not enough. You can be the perfect father, but you
still aren't enough for that boy.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
Do you know what I've heard this. I've heard these
types of conversations with liberals before, and they talk about people,
different demographics of people, like they're in a museum or
they're looking inside of an aquarium. Look at that, you know,
you should actually get to know what that fish is like.
Over there, Look at the colors on it. Look what
it does. Look at this one over This catfish just
sits at the bottom. And they talk about people like

(59:34):
they're just objects. And I'm going to tell you I've
listened to this before with people like, oh, you got
to be diverse and have this friend and this identity politics,
you should have this kind You're talking about people like
their objects. You're talking about people as if they it's
a box to check. People are just human beings. And
I've known people that are gay, and I've known the
old school gay people that don't want to be defined

(59:57):
by necessarily that that part of their lives. They have
a broad life of experiences and they want to be
known as that person, not they want to be known
as gay. They don't want to be known as different
than you. It's a person who has who is gay,
but they want to be known as an individual. Well, remember,
there's what I've learned about having friends that are gay.

Speaker 1 (01:00:16):
Remember during the debate grey or during the lead up
to Pride Month which was June, right, I think we
had a caller saying, I don't go out and dance
or parade. I just want to be an individual up
the person. I may be gay, but I just want
to be a normal person to not go out there
and say.

Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
Oh, well, to be gay.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
I don't sit and brag on the heterosexual side. I
don't put my playboy bunny flag out there and say, look,
I like girls, and I want to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
And the Democrats greg are wondering, why can't we attract
moore young men? It's because of things like this. Let
these young men be men. Surround them with good people,
but let them be men.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
And you know what, there are some great so there's
some really funny comedians a little off color, you know,
for the young guys. And I got a son that
likes a bunch of these young comedians that that, you know,
the woke tried to cancel. But one of them is gay,
but you would never know because he doesn't wear it
on his sleeve. He's actually the one one of the
funniest guys you've ever listened to. And it's it's it's

(01:01:14):
just not an issue. That's what we'd want to get to, actually,
where you stop seeing people in categories and you just
start to get to know people as people and and
if and there's the genuine relationship that comes from that,
not Barack Obama who's like, you got to have a
gay friend, Go go find somewhere and go find them
and then talk about you can have gay things so
that you can understand them and have an empathy. Give

(01:01:36):
me a break. It's a it's absolutely ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
Well it's is it any wonder that young men are
now attracted to the Democratic Party? And no wonder, there's
no way. And when you when you were in school
growing up just a few years ago, Yeah, yeah, I'm
a young one.

Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
When I was growing up now this is the early seventies,
high school time, right, we never talked about an issue
like this. I think there were two teachers I am
that we're gay. I'm guessing I'm not sure, but you know,
you kind of kind of, you know, the gaydar kind
of went up a little bit. We went, oh, well,
we never talked about we didn't care, and all of
a sudden, it's such an issue anymore. Let people live

(01:02:14):
their lives.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
And that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
I agree. And I think that you know, there used
to be stigma of being Catholic. Remember how Kennedy was
going to have a hard time being I grew up Catholic, right,
so you know, I grew up in a strong Catholic
But Catholics used to be discriminated against. Irish people were
really discriminated against. But what happens over time is we
stop categorizing them by way of Roman Catholic faith or

(01:02:36):
Irish or Irish descent, and you just start to see
people as people. That's that's the melting pot, and that's
how it's supposed to work.

Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
You know, my mom and dad, we were raised Catholic.
I'm one of six. That's a large Catholic family, right.
Catholic families used to be made fun of because of
a large family, a lot of kids, right.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
Unfortunately that's still an issue here in Utah. A lot
of people hold it against Mormons for having large families.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
And that shouldn't that shouldn't matter. And I'll tell you
what that shouldn't keep in this not anybody's dang business.

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
Well, and the replacement factor in terms of a population
growing is solely being held on by Utah at the moment,
which is shrinking. I mean, we're our birth rates are
actually shrinking, but which is sad. But we're about a
generation behind the rest of the country. But good, big
families are a good thing. If you look at if
a social scientist was actually ever honest about it, they

(01:03:30):
tell you that good. You know, big families, I have
all kinds of advantages that a small family or an
only child in a family doesn't have.

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
It.

Speaker 2 (01:03:38):
It's a very positive I know some.

Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
Great big families kids turned out finto had eight or
nine or ten. Yeah, but there's just great. There's so
much love in these families. And you know, for Barack
Obama says, well, a young man needs more than one
man in his life. Well, first of all, he definitely
needs a father, and unfortunately in many cases around the country,
fathers aren't around the issues should be talking.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
About two parents. They need gay friend. Two parent homes
are an absolutely disappearing Yep, that's the key.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
All Right, We've got a lot more to talk about
with you on this Monday afternoon. It is the Rotten
Gregg Show on Talk Radio one oh five. Dying kN arrests. Yesterday,
Greg mark the six month anniversary yes of Donald Trump
being elected to the second time president of the United States.
He's been on off for six months, and the list
of his accomplishments is staggering. It really is.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
I mean it's uh, you know, they put out a
release today and they talked about the promises that he
made and I mean, we could spend the rest of
the show boys, but just understand the border. Uh you
can check that box. I mean, don't walk away or
get you know, complacent. But he has kept his promise
about putting down the illegal entries and and really eliminating

(01:04:49):
them worldwide. By the way, he put out of a
stat that showed around the world they've never seen uh,
they've never seen this kind of migration halt the way
the seen it in the United States carried out. They're
also the largest deportation, uh, you know effort that we've
ever seen. Inflation, We've seen the inflation go straight down.
It's affordable again. Energy dominance. We're seeing our energy capabilities.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
Oh, by the way, speaking of immigration, you'll love this.
I didn't write this. Empty Kittle, who writes for the Federalists,
wrote this article. Apparently Axios. There's a quick question for
the people at Axios. Are you stupid? Axio wrote a
story over the weekend. No one knows why illegal immigration.

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
Is down, Well, they don't listen to our program.

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
Now what nobody knows? Why could it be that the
president has cracked down on the border. Maybe maybe might
have something to do just a little bit, just a
little bit. Well, the president's quiet revolution has changed just
about everything. Now. Can it survive in the coming months?
I think it will. But joining us on our newsbager

(01:05:58):
line to talk about that as Mike mckennam, a contributing
editor at The Washington Times also president of the MWR Strategies. Mike,
thanks for joining us. As always, you call this a
quiet revolution.

Speaker 6 (01:06:10):
What do you mean, Mike, Well, because nobody really thinks
about it the way me and my friends think about it.

Speaker 11 (01:06:16):
Right.

Speaker 6 (01:06:16):
We've been talking about this since before, you know, since
the middle of the first term. And that is the
president has not just sort of changed the way people
think about politics, He's actually destroyed a bunch of things, right,
you know, I go through the list, right, the media,
the Clinton dynasty, the Bush dynasty, you know, even how
we think about national law enforcement, right, and how we

(01:06:38):
digest our news, and the fact that you know, ansion
is now the most important thing in politics, right, not
necessarily the best idea, but the most prevalent megaphone.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
Right.

Speaker 6 (01:06:50):
So anyway, he's kind of siged through a bunch of
areas in American life, and nobody's talked about it. But
you know, and the folks who are pushing back on him, now,
you know, they tend to be the kind of say
this nicely, the crazy year of the bunch, Right.

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
You know, I love the historical context, and I like
how you walk through all these things that Trump President Trump,
quiet revolution, disruptor, you name it. It's true things that
maybe were under the surface and maybe some frustrations brought
to the surface and changed or destroyed. As you said,
you look at the different revolutions, the Front Revolution, you

(01:07:30):
look at the you know in Russia and in China,
but all of your comparisons, it looked like it was
from maybe a top down where everybody started to get
a little paranoid, and if you weren't all in some
of those people that used to be your allies, you
would go against this one doesn't seem to be that
way with Trump. It seems to be coming from maybe
a mid place in terms of the frustrations about Epstein.
Let me ask you this is it?

Speaker 3 (01:07:51):
That?

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
Is it that they're just too they're just it's too absolutist,
Or is there something broader in the Epstein story that
kind of represents the the elite always get away with
things that everyday people can't are not allowed to get
away with. Is there something maybe from the middle coming
up that's different than maybe the revolutions you described.

Speaker 6 (01:08:11):
Yeah, I'm very sensitive to that part of the Epstein story, right,
And the last week I wrote something I said, hey,
you know, the underlying reality of the story is is
that Advance Vice President Vance has said this a couple
of times, right, that the rich and powerful and us right,
that people who are not rich and powerful need to
be held with the same legal standard, right, the same

(01:08:32):
rule of law. You know, we're obligated to you, just
like just like you're obligated to follow the law, this
guy Epstein should be obligated to follow the law and
whoever else helped him, right. So so yeah, I'm super
sensitive to that. It's just what struck me is. What
struck me is is in each of these revolutions, and
that could have done it with one hundred different revolutions.

(01:08:53):
It's always the same, right, it's always the absolutists who
get in the middle of it and say, well, well,
you know, what you're doing is then keeping with the revolution,
and then, you know, then then the revolution eats itself, right,
And that's just the way it happens.

Speaker 3 (01:09:09):
And it's.

Speaker 6 (01:09:10):
Sort of feel that we're right there, you know what,
We're right there, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
Thanks, the question does history repeat itself? As you said,
there's many more examples than the ones you've shared. It
seems to be a cycle of human nature, is history.
Do you predict that history would repeat itself with Trump
and his quiet revolution as what's happened with others except
for the American Revolution, as you also point.

Speaker 6 (01:09:32):
Out, Yeah, you know, I hope not, but you know,
it's kind of early in the game here, you know it.
The brand this is this is a difficult problem for
the president because the brand is so connected. His brand
is so connected with with pushing back on the deep
stay and pushing back on that on law enforcement when

(01:09:54):
it's been unevenly applied. And this, you know, this feels
like a bunch of that stuff kind of rolled together,
you know that that that said, and I think I
wrote this in the thing in this column right, there's
a bunch of more important things going on there just
are you know, but that I don't think the absolutist
in the crowd sort of worry about that that other

(01:10:14):
important stuff. They're to zero it in on this, so
you know, you if you made me bet, I bet
you know, eventually it dies down, but it's always going
to be mood music. That's a that's a bad thing, right, Mike.

Speaker 1 (01:10:29):
Do do voters out there or the American people fully
comprehend the quiet revolution that he's been able to get
started in maybe the first six months of his second term.
I mean, he's done a lot here. Do people fully
comprehend what he has achieved so far?

Speaker 3 (01:10:44):
No?

Speaker 6 (01:10:46):
No, No, you know he they You know, if if
you've sat him in a room and said, look, here's
how I see it, I think everybody'd say, yeah, that's true.
But they don't think about it because you know, you're
living the life you live. You know, you don't really
understand things accept in retrospect. And I think if you
think back to twenty fifteen, all the things that were
a feature of American life and American political life, especially

(01:11:10):
that the president has touched and changed, it's a pretty
long list. It's a pretty long list.

Speaker 1 (01:11:18):
I don't want to let you go, Mike before we
get your reaction to what happened over the weekend, the
document up with Tulsa Gabbard and everything concerning the Russian hoax.
Your thoughts on where what this is all about and
where in fact this may go.

Speaker 6 (01:11:32):
Yeah, it's kind of odd, right, and the timing of
it's super odd. I have great respect for Colonel Gabbard
as Congresswoman Gabbard, whatever title she feels like going by,
it has the flavor of somebody trying to like help
help the boss out and get in the middle of

(01:11:53):
a brawl and protect her job all at the same time.
Because I don't understand what her what her accusations are,
and I don't quite understand what she expects anybody to
do with them, right, I mean, this is this is
stuff that doesn't get litigated typically it gets you know,
that's what elections are for. And I also, you know,

(01:12:14):
I I don't want to be too I want to
be too too over here, But Department of Justice, if
they're not going to prosecute anybody in the Epstein thing,
I don't know how they're going to prosecute anybody in
this thing, which is even more tangential and kind of
kind of out there. So I it feels like a
timing thing and I save my job kind of thing.

(01:12:35):
And I could be totally wrong. I could be totally wrong.
I have nothing but respect for comes from and Gabbert,
so I freely admit I could be totally wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
But that's the vibe.

Speaker 1 (01:12:43):
I have political strategies. Mike McKenna joined in, joining us
on The Roden greg Show and Talk Radio one oh
five nine can It's an interesting point, the timing issue
that he brings up. I'm not sure what he meant
by that.

Speaker 2 (01:12:54):
Maybe he's a cynic. He thinks that this is coming
up around the time of the Epstein stuff to take
the attention away from it. But the thing that I
would say is different about this is that the Dan Bongino,
he spent so much of his time because he'd been
in the Secret Service investigating the Russian collusion bolks, and
he knows he has so much knowledge of this. You've
got Cash Betel, who was working for Devin what's his name,

(01:13:18):
thence Noon is whose congressman at the time that they
were the first to discover that the Trump administration was
being spied on by the Obama administration. Cash Betel's running
the FBI. I just think you have a different cabinet
and a different administration where if there was going to
be some action or accountability from very you know, of
very powerful people, it would be now. And I don't

(01:13:39):
want to be too cynical. I want to believe that
there's a consequence to.

Speaker 1 (01:13:42):
His Here's what I find interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:13:43):
Greg.

Speaker 1 (01:13:43):
We are now, as of yesterday, six months into Donald
Trump secondary and now all these reports are starting to
come out. Marriage said, we'll get to the bottom of
what went on with the Russian hostes, We'll get to
the bottom of parents being called terrorists. And now they've
been in office for six months, taking some time to
build these skates, and all this information is coming out
interesting and.

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
I and there has to be it has to be actionable.
If all this is performative and you have a Senate
Committee hearing and you have a bunch of people testifying,
the Democrats stick up for them and the Republicans go
after them, it's just going to be.

Speaker 1 (01:14:15):
It's just it's something.

Speaker 6 (01:14:16):
It'll be.

Speaker 2 (01:14:16):
It won't be to any I think positive.

Speaker 1 (01:14:19):
And get something done, all right, mar coming up final
half hour of the Rod and Great Show with you
on this Monday and Talk Radio one oh five nine
Can't Arrest. I mentioned at the top of the show
today when we first started there are two reasons to
celebrate today, one of which was it was a year
ago that Joe Biden dropped out of the race.

Speaker 6 (01:14:36):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:14:36):
And the second reason is that today is officially National
Junk Food Day. Yes, so you can eat all the
junk food.

Speaker 3 (01:14:45):
We don't.

Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
We don't have any treats in here today.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
We don't.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
We usually usually are nice people here in the building,
have a little basket of things that we can choose from.
We can't find any treats around this place today. Do
they know it's National junk.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
Food They must not, by the way a great listener
I put it, and I agree with this. Shout out
out to Taco Amigo and Linden for their peach shakes.
But they're not in season yet. But when they get
in the fall, the peach shakes they come into season,
and those peach shakes are Go to Taco Amego get
one of those peach shakes. You'll be happy you did it.
I love peach shakes there there.

Speaker 1 (01:15:15):
And then the raspberry shakes up in a bear lake
during raspberry days. Yes, I think it's love Bo's up there.
Don't they do something like that? Yeah, I think that's
the name of the company. It does it does?

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
I just know the shake. I don't know the name
where it comes from.

Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
But up there there are you. A big shake fan.

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
I do love shakes. Yes, I like shakes that you
can drink out of straw.

Speaker 1 (01:15:34):
But see I'm with you. My wife thinks I'm nuts. No,
it's too thin, I go. A shake is meant to
be Yes, to drink out of a straw, I agree.
Not with a spoon and all that. That's the peach
shakes A couple like.

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
The peach shake is kind of like a you spoon
it out, But that's because you couldn't get those chunks
of peach out out of the straw. But but for
the most part of shake, I like to drink the shake.

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):
Yeah, a straw. You and I are from beck Yas
that's the way you shit.

Speaker 2 (01:16:00):
That's how you drink a shake.

Speaker 1 (01:16:01):
Well, I mentioned that one of the weaknesses that I
have when it comes to junk food. Yes, potato chips yes,
I love all kinds of potato chips. I do love them.
On my vital life diet. I don't eat as much
of them as I used to, but I still sneak
in a little bit. But one of our colors recognize
that and agreed with me.

Speaker 15 (01:16:24):
Like you, I'm a classic laized potato chip person, love
them to death. But that's because I live here in Utah.
Now I know you're from upstate New York just like
I am. And back there, the potato chip of choice
was Wise potato chips.

Speaker 1 (01:16:40):
Tell me if I'm wrong, No, you.

Speaker 6 (01:16:42):
Are not wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:16:43):
He's not wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:16:44):
The choice back there was Wise potatoes and they came
with a like an owl, And.

Speaker 2 (01:16:49):
So that's not reserved just for New York. Also southwest Pennsylvania,
whise potatoes were the potato Yes, that's all. Why is
out with the owl on them? But yeah, why is
potato chies all I ever had? That's what I had
to In fact, I was going to drop that, and
we were talking about but I thought it was maybe
too provincial of a of a of a reference. I
didn't think any of our listeners.

Speaker 1 (01:17:08):
Do you have an odd junk food that you like?
Something weird? Trying to think, Oh yeah, my milk bones.
