Rod and Greg Show Daily Rundown – Friday, October 18, 2024

4:20 pm: Aimee Winder Newton of the Salt Lake County Council joins Rod and Greg to discuss the council’s plan to investigate whether County Recorder Rashelle Hobbs is guilty of electioneering for including an insert, paid for by taxpayers, that looks suspiciously like a campaign flyer with county tax notices. Winder has proposed an ordinance change to prevent this situation in the future.

4:38 pm: Victoria Coates, Vice President of the Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at the Heritage Foundation joins the program for a conversation about how the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar at the hands of Israeli defense forces should serve as a warning to Hamas.

6:05 pm: Representative Phil Lyman, who is running a write-in campaign for Governor, joins the program to discuss why he asked the Utah Legislature to disqualify incumbent Governor Spencer Cox from the ballot following a legislative audit showing many of the signatures he collected to get on the ballot were invalid.

6:20 pm: Author Patrick O’Donnell joins Greg for a conversation about his recent piece on the election of 1864, largely considered the most important election in history up to that point, and the “October Surprise” that preceded that election.

6:50: pm: We’ll listen back to Rod and Greg’s conversation this week with Joe Kennedy, the Washington high school football coach who was fired from his job for praying on the field, and eventually won his job back thanks to a decision by the Supreme Court, about an upcoming film about his ordeal.
