Joe Oltmann Untamed | Thirst for Power | Guest: Greg Lopez | 7.6.26

America celebrated its 250th Independence Day beneath the shadow of Mount Rushmore, where patriotism, history, and the promise of liberty took center stage. But while fireworks lit the sky, another battle continues to unfold—one over the soul of the nation.On this episode of Joe Oltmann Untamed, Joe examines what he argues is the steady ideological shift toward collectivism and centralized government, asking whether America is witnessing a quiet march toward communist-style policies hidden beneath modern political rhetoric.Joe also breaks down the political storm surrounding California Governor Gavin Newsom, including reports tied to a widening federal corruption investigation involving members of his political circle. The discussion explores allegations that longtime political insider Alexis Podesta cooperated with federal investigators and reportedly recorded conversations while working with the FBI—raising new questions about loyalty, influence, and what could come next. These developments remain part of an ongoing investigation, and not all allegations have been proven in court.Then, Joe welcomes Greg Lopez, former United States Representative from Colorado, for a candid conversation about the future of the Republican Party, border security, election integrity, and what it will take to preserve constitutional government in the years ahead. Welcome to Joe Oltmann Untamed.
